Hello and thank you for visiting Plainstitch!
For pattern inquiries, please email me. elizabeth…at…plainstitch…dot…com.
My name is Elizabeth Davis. I live in Nashville, TN. My mom taught me to knit back in 1990-something (neither of us can really remember when). I've been engaged in creative pursuits all my life, mostly writing and painting. Recently I got a hankering to design my own knits, so I set up a little studio and called it Plainstitch.
My design influences include nature, music, folklore, geometry, visual arts, modern design, color, nostalgia, and other things. I prefer minimally-processed wool, 3/4 sleeves (good for working with the hands), endless stockinette, and extra pointy needles. I'm a sucker for yarn with a story.
In addition to knitting, I love to read, write, paint pictures, do yoga, take walks in woods, grow vegetables, cook vegetables, eat vegetables, watch birds, feed birds, hang out with my cats, and laugh at the tv with my husband.
Here are some other places where you can find me:

Nice Work!!Reply
Hello, On your PDF pattern of Bogolan would it be possible for you to indicate that a sport weight yarn is used? I purchased the pattern (thanks for doing this for charity) but since Classic Elite yarns are not widely available where I am, I have no clue what weight that yarn is unless I go to the Ravelry listing. Thanks for your consideration of this issue.Reply
Hi Elizabeth — I purchased this pattern and it downloaded as a corrupt file. If you could please message me (lauren at laurenbee dot com) and help me get a good copy? I'd much appreciate it, thanks.Reply

CactiEZ – Centos 5
This past weekend I was feeling a bit under the weather, so I took some time off and rebuild my CactiEZ CD using CentOS 5. Here a few bullet points
- 32 Bit only – I tried but couldn't find a way to get the 32 Bit and 64 Bit running off the same CD (since they completely changed the way anaconda works since CentOS 4), so I think I will continue forward with 32 Bit only installs. The reasoning for this is that if you have such a seriously large install that actually requires all the benefits that 64 Bit has to offer, your system probably should be designed from the ground up instead of being built by an automated CD. I may at some point come out with a 64 Bit version on a separate CD, but it s not a priority at this point.
- Reduction of extra software – In the past I have added Nagios, Wireshark, and a slew of other software to the CD, but it was always a pain to keep up with updates for all these since I have to pull them from alternative sources. I will still include Webmin for all the non-Linux administrators out there, but most everything else will be pulled from the standard Repository of packages or it will be left out.
- RPM Repository – I plan on setting up my own small Repository of RPMs for things like RRDTool, etc… This will allow the CD to pull new updates for the few extra items I have installed without having to check the entire external repositories I had to pull them from. The main point of this RPM Repository, is in the future I can create a RPM for Cacti (with Plugin Architecture), Spine, and separate ones for all the various plugins, and you can upgrade your CactiEZ install that much easier without having to rebuild it from scratch.
- Improved security – I will be doing a bit of extra work to improve the security of the install from the start. So you will see things such as no root ssh allowed, forcing the changing of the root password, file permission fixes, etc…
- I am currently contemplating a setup script, which will walk you through a few of the basic things that need to be done first before it will even start Apache, Webmin, etc… This would do things like change the root password, ask about specific services (NetFlow, Webmin, Syslog to MySQL, etc…), setting the Time Zone, Backups, etc… This would ensure the server is setup exactly how you want it before it actually starts polling.
I am sure I will think of more things while I finish building the CD, if so I will post them in the comments here.

I would say go ahead and have the netflow configured and running. It is kind of a pain to get it going.
Maybe you could go ahead and have the IPTables setup for the additional services like netflow on default ports?
I really like the idea of the startup script…this will open up cacti to a lot more of the non-linux guys.
Install and configure the new snmp-trap plugin.
Edit the backup script so it doesn't include the syslog table by default, only the syslog adds and alerts.
Maybe default the install to using the spine poller with a good number of threads listed.
Include a bunch of templates already installed for common equipment. If you are interested, I can send you the one's I use most.
I'll keep thinking 😉
Jimmy - December 7, 2009
Net-flow will always be included (as will the preconfigured plugin), and iptables has always been setup for netflow and any other services on the box. The startup script is in part to help remove services you don't particularly want, and to then remove those entries from the iptables when they aren't needed.
Spine is default (cmd.php is too slow), but I certainly could up the number of threads.
The traps plugin has major issues (and its super slow), so I am not sure if I will ever bring it into the fold, but we shall see.
I already include several common templates from the normal install. I am actually thinking to instead have the configure script allow you to select different templates (from a few I will provide), and it will auto-import them for you (its a real pain to include them otherwise if cacti changes it default sql file).
Chris Schott - February 2, 2010
Not to rush, as I can only begin to imagine what goes into something like this, but do you have a rough idea of an ETA for Cacti on CentOS 5? Also, as an idea for something to include, what are the chances of throwing on htop? I personally prefer it to top, but that's just me. If you end up leaving ntop on, maybe the startup script could include an option to set that up as well. Also, is there a particular reason for going with 32 bit over 64 bit since you're sticking with just one?
Jimmy - February 2, 2010
No real ETA just yet, as I still have lots of things to implement and less time than I would like. Honestly I am thinking of trimming down the features (RPM Repo, etc…) just to get it out the door faster.
As for 32 bit vs 64 bit. I would have to guess that 95% of the implementations don't really take advantage of what 64 bit has to offer and gains no real advantage over 32 bit. Additionally by serving a 32 bit version, people with 32 bit hardware only can run it, as can the people with 64 bit. Even if I primarily release only a 32 bit version, I will most likely offer a 64 bit version at some point too, I just can't offer them on 1 CD anymore with a lot of recoding of boot image.
Scott - February 5, 2010
One suggestion i have is changing some of the settings in regardless to disk layout. IO seams to be big issue in reasonable sized cacti installs. I would suggest making a smaller OS partition perhaps 2-5 gigs.
Put the mysql database and the rrd files on another parition and mount that file system either as xfs or ext3 with data=writeback enabled. I've noticed a huge increase in performance on most of my machines with data=writeback mode enabled. However due to the way the cactiEZ install is partitioned i can't fix my cactiEZ machine.
James - February 17, 2010
Any chance of it fully supporting virtualization? I have your previous CactiEZ on my Xenserver, but it won't recognize itself as a VM.
Tony - March 17, 2010
Please leave root SSH allowed or give an option to allow it. This is very useful.
Also please fix routerconfigs.
Jeremy - March 19, 2010
Another vote for virtualization support on xenserver!
Erick - April 22, 2010
Awesome CD!!, could you bring us root password?
Thank you!!
Armstrong Zhao - May 1, 2010
The syslog feature is cool. Is it possible to put CaMM into the CD? The default syslog does not support large syslog table well, such as the log table is larger than 2G.
John - July 5, 2010
Just wondering if there's any word on when we will see the next version of CactiEZ? Or even a time frame for when we will see a beta release.
Jimmy - August 23, 2010
I currently have everything 90% functional, just working on fixing a problem with the CactiEZ rpm I have made.

DENVER – Here are some commonly asked questions and answers about marijuana legalization.
What happens now? People in Colorado 21 and older can now possess up to an ounce or less of marijuana, privately use marijuana, and grow up to six marijuana plants (only three of which can be flowering). Sales remain prohibited.
Can people smoke and/or use marijuana in public? No, that remains forbidden under the guidelines of Amendment 64.
Where can one obtain marijuana? This remains a tricky aspect of Amendment 64 due to the fact that the sale of marijuana remains prohibited until business licenses are distributed (likely not until late next year or early 2014). Licensed medical marijuana dispensaries are also not allowed to sell to the general public.
What about driving laws now that marijuana legalization is in effect? Driving under the influence of marijuana was illegal and remains illegal under current law. Unlike Washington, Colorado does not yet have a specific threshold for marijuana impairment. Lawmakers in Colorado have previously considered a so-called 5 nanogram limit for THC per milliliter of blood, but they have yet to reach a consensus.
If a police officer stops me and I have an ounce or less of marijuana, will I be ticketed or arrested? Under the guidelines of Amendment 64, an adult 21 and older can privately posses and use an ounce or less. As long as you are not doing anything else that would be considered illegal, you should not be subject to a ticket or arrest by a local officer.
Can I grow marijuana in my apartment? According to the authors of Amendment 64, a landlord does not have to allow a tenant to grow marijuana.
What about marijuana use and my employer? Amendment 64 allows employers to continue to use their current policies when it comes to the use of marijuana by their employees. Bottom line, employers will continue to have a lot of leeway when it comes to limiting/prohibiting marijuana use by their employees.
What about the federal government? Isn't marijuana illegal under federal law? The federal government, through the U.S. Department of Justice, has repeatedly reiterated its stance that marijuana remains illegal, but it has yet to provide clear guidance to states like Washington and Colorado when it comes to voter-approved recreational use of marijuana. A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Colorado has stated in the past that at some point the top federal prosecutor in the state would provide some guidance, but it remains unclear when that might arrive.
When will schools start receiving money from revenues raised from marijuana taxation? The Colorado General Assembly will approve a ballot question for an excise tax of up to 15% during the next legislative session. It is assumed that ballot question will appear on your ballot in November of 2013. The excise tax, under the guidelines of 64, will have to be in effect prior to January 1, 2017.
Will medical marijuana dispensaries be allowed to sell marijuana for recreational use? Under the guidelines of 64, dispensaries will eventually be allowed to convert to a recreational retail store once a licensing structure is place, but they can remain strictly medical as well. Some dispensaries have already publicly stated they will remain medical and not switch over to recreational.
What happens if I possess more than an ounce or marijuana? That remains illegal under state and federal law.
Can municipalities ban marijuana? Cities, counties and towns can, under the language of 64, ban the sale of marijuana. Douglas County, for example, has already announced a plan to do so, but no municipality can ban the possession and use of an ounce or less by adults 21 and older.

Jill Hoy Paints the Land AliveMay 2-June 9 at Maine Farmland Trust Gallery
By MFT Gallery Curator Anna Abaldo
Belfast. "Jill is like Maine, bright colors and powerful oceans. Maine is different, unlike any other place, and so is she." So begins a vivid character essay about the artist Jill Hoy, written by Max Weinstein, then thirteen, and a friend of the artist's son. The fact that she has this essay on her professional website as her introduction to her online visitors is at once intimate and vivacious – and completely in character.
Jill Hoy has become widely known in New England for her large, vibrantly colorful landscapes which depict Maine's barrens, coast and villages. One may also recognize her name as the wife of painter Jon Imber, who just recently passed away after living with ALS for a year and a half.
"I am going on 59 years," Hoy said. "When your husband is mortally ill you realize you only have so much time left on this planet. You want to cover the turf that is essential to your journey."
"A lot of my work is about life, about energy, about sense of place: there's an essence there, a deep-rooted essence that in our world seems more ephemeral. Either because someone joined the land to make it their home, or farmed it for many years. It's a union you can feel," she said.
"So much of that land is being developed," she continued. "They're turning over homes that have been in families for generations. It's heartbreaking. I've watched this happen during my lifetime – so much has changed. Maine is behind that curve compared to other places, but it's still happening."
Jill Hoy has her own gallery in the center of Stonington and typically doesn't have other galleries represent her. When asked why she made an exception for Maine Farmland Trust Gallery, she explained: "Your venture is incredibly important – it touches me very deeply." She paused a moment. "Your work is so much about time. It's so strikingly similar to what I surround myself with and what I draw inspiration from. I am the daughter of antique dealers. My mother lives in the Western foothills of Maine on a big old farm. The preservation of land is such important nourishment for us humans: to honor the land for both its wildness and its union with us. I think your mission is a lot about trying to preserve a respectful lineage. That's something I am hyper-aware of."
To illustrate how this theme shows up in her work, she added: "My work is about honoring that sense of essence and time, in addition to the compositional structure of the painting. It's multi-layered." Once she finds those places where she can feel the essence and aliveness of the land, she will often return again and again. "They become like a touchstone – I like to go back and try myself again to track how my painting has changed. Painting outside is an alive process, responding to wind and tides changing. That aliveness is very different than what might happen in a studio – and it's that aliveness that is experienced by the viewer."
Jill Hoy earned a B.F.A. from the University of California at Santa Cruz and also attended the New York Academy of Art in New York City. Her work has been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the country.
The artist divides her time among residences in Stonington, Maine, Somerville, Massachusetts, and New York City. Because she's been a regular resident of the Deer Isle area since 1965, much of her work can be seen as a local document of place and time.
The exhibit "The Land Alive" will be on display at Maine Farmland Trust Gallery, 97 Main Street, Belfast ME, from May 2 through June 9. On the second floor, there will be select works by Philip Frey (courtesy of Courthouse Fine Art Gallery) and Lou Schellenberg (courtesy of Harbor Square Gallery). There will be an Artist's Reception open to the public on Friday May 30 during Belfast's Final Friday Art Walk, from 5:30-8pm. The gallery is open on weekdays from 9am-4pm. More information can be found at www.mainefarmlandtrustgallery.org.
Maine Farmland Trust is a statewide non-profit organization working to keep Maine's farms farming. Maine Farmland Trust created its gallery to celebrate art in agriculture, and to inspire and inform the public about farming in Maine.

Mathematical truth has validity independent of place, personality, or human authority. Mathematical relations are not established, nor can they be abrogated, by edict. The multiplication table is international and permanent, not a matter of convention nor of relying upon authority of state or church. The value of π is not amenable to human caprice. The finding of a mathematical theorem may have been a highly romantic episode in the personal life of the discoverer, but it cannot be expected of itself to reveal the race, sex, or temperament of this discoverer. With modern means of widespread communication even mathematical notation tends to be international despite all nationalistic tendencies in the use of words or of type.
Nature and nurture are an inseparable blend of influences that work together to produce our behavior. A growing band of researchers are demonstrating that the bedrock of behaviors that make up the concerns of everyday life, such as sex, language, cooperation, and violence have been carved out by evolution over the eons, and this Stone Age legacy continues to influence modern life today.
Almighty God, to whose efficacious Word all things owe their original, abounding in his own glorious Essence with infinite goodness and fecundity, did in the beginning Create Man after his own likeness, Male and Female, created he them; the true distinction of which Sexes, consists merely in the different site of those parts of the body, wherein Generation necessarily requires a Diversity: for both Male and Female he impartially endued with the same, and altogether indifferent form of Soul, the Woman being possessd of no less excellent Faculties of Mind, Reason, and Speech, than the Man, and equally with him aspiring to those Regions of Bliss and Glory, where there shall be no exception of Sex.
Amazing that the human race has taken enough time out from thinking about food or sex to create the arts and sciences.
Amoebas at the start Were not complex; They tore themselves apart And started Sex.
Among all types of sexual activity, masturbation is ... the one in which the female most frequently reaches orgasm.
And as I had my fathers kind of mindwhich was also his mothersI learned that the mind is not sex-typed.
As the first monogamian family has improved greatly since the commencement of civilization, and very sensibly in our times, it is at least supposable that it is capable of still further improvement until the equality of the sexes is attained.
Being the inventor of sex would seem to be a sufficient distinction for a creature just barely large enough to be seen by the naked eye.

[Comment about Volvox, a freshwater green algae, which appears indetermimately plantlike and animal-like during its reproductive cycle.]
Courtship, properly understood, is the process whereby both the male and the female are brought into that state of sexual tumescence which is a more or less necessary condition for sexual intercourse. The play of courtship cannot, therefore, be considered to be definitely brought to an end by the ceremony of marriage; it may more properly be regarded as the natural preliminary to every act of coitus.
Every animal is sad after coitus except the human female and the rooster.
— Galen
Few males achieve any real freedom in their sexual relations even with their wives. Few males realise how badly inhibited they are on these matters.
I conclude that the musical notes and rhythms were first acquired by the male or female progenitors of mankind for the sake of charming the opposite sex.
I regard sex as the central problem of life. And now that the problem of religion has practically been settled, and that the problem of labor has at least been placed on a practical foundation, the question of sexwith the racial questions that rest on itstands before the coming generations as the chief problem for solution. Sex lies at the root of life, and we can never learn to reverence life until we know how to understand sex.

I think I may fairly make two postulata. First, That food is necessary to the existence of man. Secondly, That the passion between the sexes is necessary and will remain nearly in its present state. These two laws ever since we have had any knowledge of mankind, appear to have been fixed laws of our nature; and, as we have not hitherto seen any alteration in them, we have no right to conclude that they will ever cease to be what they are now, without an immediate act of power in that Being who first arranged the system of the universe; and for the advantage of his creatures, still executes, according to fixed laws, all its various operations.
I think it is a duty I owe to my profession and to my sex to show that a woman has a right to the practice of her profession and cannot be condemned to abandon it merely because she marries. I cannot conceive how womens colleges, inviting and encouraging women to enter professions can be justly founded or maintained denying such a principle.
(From a letter Brooks wrote to her dean, knowing that she would be told to resign if she married, she asked to keep her job. Nevertheless, she lost her teaching position at Barnard College in 1906. Dean Gill wrote that The dignity of womens place in the home demands that your marriage shall be a resignation.)

In order that an inventory of plants may be begun and a classification of them correctly established, we must try to discover criteria of some sort for distinguishing what are called species. After a long and considerable investigation, no surer criterion for determining species had occurred to me than distinguishing features that perpetuate themselves in propagation from seed. Thus, no matter what variations occur in the individuals or the species, if they spring from the seed of one and the same plant, they are accidental variations and not such as to distinguish a species. For these variations do not perpetuate themselves in subsequent seeding. Thus, for example, we do not regard caryophylli with full or multiple blossoms as a species distinct from caryophylli with single blossoms, because the former owe their origin to the seed of the latter and if the former are sown from their own seed, they once more produce single-blossom caryophylli. But variations that never have as their source seed from one and the same species may finally be regarded as distinct species. Or, if you make a comparison between any two plants, plants which never spring from each other's seed and never, when their seed is sown, are transmuted one into the other, these plants finally are distinct species. For it is just as in animals: a difference in sex is not enough to prove a difference of species, because each sex is derived from the same seed as far as species is concerned and not infrequently from the same parents; no matter how many and how striking may be the accidental differences between them; no other proof that bull and cow, man and woman belong to the same species is required than the fact that both very frequently spring from the same parents or the same mother. Likewise in the case of plants, there is no surer index of identity of species than that of origin from the seed of one and the same plant, whether it is a matter of individuals or species. For animals that differ in species preserve their distinct species permanently; one species never springs from the seed of another nor vice versa.
— John Ray
Instead of being presented with stereotypes by age, sex, color, class, or religion, children must have the opportunity to learn that within each range, some people are loathsome and some are delightful.
It is one thing to say, Some men shall rule, quite another to declare, All men shall rule, and that in virtue of the most primitive, the most rudimentary attribute they possess, that namely of sex.

Im tired of that stupid phrase, the birds and the bees which is supposed to represent the facts of life or the beginnings of the sex instruction of the young. Well for heavens sake, has anyone ever tried to explain sex by talking about the birds and the bees? What have the birds and the bees to do with it? ITS THE BEES AND THE FLOWERS. Will you get that through your head? ITS THE BEES AND THE FLOWERS. The bee travels to one flower and picks up pollen from the stamens. The pollen contains the male sex cells of the plant. The bee then travels to another flower (of the same species) and the pollen brushes off onto the pistil, which contains the female sex cells of the plant. Now in the human being we dont rely on bees to do it for us.
Like the furtive collectors of stolen art, we [cell biologists] are forced to be lonely admirers of spectacular architecture, exquisite symmetry, dramas of violence and death, mobility, self-sacrifice and, yes, rococo sex.
Men, accustomed to think of men as possessing sex attributes and other things besides, are accustomed to think of women as having sex, and nothing else.
On the one hand, then, in the reproductive functions propermenstruation, defloration, pregnancy and parturitionwoman is biologically doomed to suffer. Nature seems to have no hesitation in administering to her strong doses of pain, and she can do nothing but submit passively to the regimen prescribed. On the other hand, as regards sexual attraction, which is necessary for the act of impregnation, and as regards the erotic pleasures experienced during the act itself, the woman may be on an equal footing with the man.
Philosophy is to science as pornography is to sex: it is cheaper, easier and some people prefer it.
Reproduction is so primitive and fundamental a function of vital organisms that the mechanism by which it is assured is highly complex and not yet clearly understood. It is not necessarily connected with sex, nor is sex necessarily connected with reproduction.
Science and engineering students presumably are left to learn about their literature in the same way they learn about sex.
Science and politics become the hobby of, and are cherished only by, the elect few; but religion becomes, through education, the property of all, without reference to station, age, and sex.
Science is like sex: sometimes something useful comes out, but that is not the reason we are doing it.
Sex appeal is a matter of chemistry, but you don't have to be a chemist to find the formula.
Sex is a natural function. You cant make it happen, but you can teach people to let it happen.
Sex is the best form of fusion at room temperature.
Sexual instinctas emotion, idea, and impulseis a function of the cerebral cortex. Thus far no definite region of the cortex has been proved to be exclusively the seat of sexual sensations and impulses.
The best sex education for kids is when Daddy pats Mommy on the fanny when he comes home from work.
The male's difficulties in his sexual relations after marriage include a lack of facility, of ease, or of suavity in establishing rapport in a sexual situation.
The modesty of women, which, in its most primitive form among animals, is based on sexual periodicity, is, with that periodicity, an essential condition of courtship.
The precise equivalence of the chromosomes contributed by the two sexes is a physical correlative of the fact that the two sexes play, on the whole, equal parts in hereditary transmission, and it seems to show that the chromosomal substance, the chromatin, is to be regarded as the physical basis of inheritance. Now, chromatin is known to be closely similar to, if not identical with, a substance known as nuclein (C29H49N9O22, according to Miescher), which analysis shows to be a tolerably definite chemical compased of nucleic acid (a complex organic acid rich in phosphorus) and albumin. And thus we reach the remarkable conclusion that inheritance may, perhaps, be effected by the physical transmission of a particular chemical compound from parent to offspring.
The range of variation in the female far exceeds the range of variation in the male.
The second great channel through which the impulse towards the control of procreation for the elevation of the race is entering into practical life is by the general adoption, by the educatedof methods for the prevention of conception except when conception is deliberately desired.
The weakness of men in comparison with women lies in the great intensity of their sexual desires. Man becomes dependent upon woman, and the more, the weaker and more sensual he becomes; and this just in proportion as he becomes neuropathic.
There is a tendency to consider anything in human behavior that is unusual, not well known, or not well understood, as neurotic, psychopathic, immature, perverse, or the expression of some other sort of psychologic disturbance.
To connect the dinosaurs, creatures of interest to everyone but the veriest dullard, with a spectacular extraterrestrial event like the deluge of meteors seems a little like one of those plots that a clever publisher might concoct to guarantee enormous sales. All the Alvarez-Raup theories lack is some sex and the involvement of the Royal family and the whole world would be paying attention to them.
Too early and perverse sexual satisfaction injures not merely the mind, but also the body; inasmuch as it induces neuroses of the sexual apparatus (irritable weakness of the centres governing erection and ejaculation; defective pleasurable feeling in coitus), while, at the same time, it maintains the imagination and libido in continuous excitement.
Under pressure from the computer, the question of mind in relation to machine is becoming a central cultural preoccupation. It is becoming for us what sex was to the Victoriansthreat and obsession, taboo and fascination.
What we call Progress is the exchange of one Nuisance for another Nuisance.
While up to this time contrary sexual instinct has had but an anthropological, clinical, and forensic interest for science, now, as a result of the latest investigations, there is some thought of therapy in this incurable condition, which so heavily burdens its victims, socially, morally, and mentally. A preparatory step for the application of therapeutic measures is the exact differentiation of the acquired from the congenital cases; and among the latter again, the assignment of the concrete case to its proper position in the categories that have been established empirically.
With respect of the development of physiological love, it is probable that its nucleus is always to be found in an individual fetich (charm) which a person of one sex exercises over a person of the opposite sex.
[I]magine you want to know the sex of your unborn child. There are several approaches. You could, for example, do what the late film star ... Cary Grant did before he was an actor: In a carnival or fair or consulting room, you suspend a watch or a plumb bob above the abdomen of the expectant mother; if it swings left-right it's a boy, and if it swings forward-back it's a girl. The method works one time in two. Of course he was out of there before the baby was born, so he never heard from customers who complained he got it wrong. ... But if you really want to know, then you go to amniocentesis, or to sonograms; and there your chance of being right is 99 out of 100. ... If you really want to know, you go to science.
Auto erotism, spontaneous solitary sexual phenomena of which genital excitement during sleep may be said to be the type.

Some interesting things you might like to know about Israel:
- Instant messaging, cell phones, solar water heaters, Uzis, USB flash drives, cherry tomatoes, single drip irrigation (my favorite), Rummikub, and artificial gills were invented there.
- I do have family there, on both my mother's and father's sides. All my family there lives in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.
- Israel is technically at peace with both Jordan and Egypt, but it is a cold peace and these nations are far from allies of Israel. All other neighboring countries are not at peace with Israel. They do not trade, speak, or work with Israel; from time to time they attack Israel with military force. Indeed, just last month Lebanese snipers shot into Israel, killing one Israeli officer and wounding another.
- Direct peace talks between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Mahmoud Abbas begin on Thursday, September 2nd. If we are to be honest, the sought-out results of a two state solution and long term peace will not be realized, but communication is the vital first step in the peace process and communication had stopped for far too long.
- Schwarma (SHWORM-uh) and falafel are the hamburgers of Israel. Schwarma is better than falafel, if you ask me.
- Israel has about 7.5 million inhabitants. An estimated 75% of that population was Jewish as of December 2009.
If you have questions about Israel, or my opinions, that were not answered above, comment below with your question and it will be answered.

The Indian Creek neighborhood is an upscale neighborhood located in Carrolton Texas, which is subsequently a suburb of Dallas. Like so many other neighborhoods in the area Indian Creek was built around the idea of a well planned and well developed neighborhood. Because of this much of the neighborhood has great access to all of the necessary conveniences like shops and supermarkets while at the same time staying somewhat disconnected from the busy life of the surrounding city. Indian Creek is also built around the Indian Creek Golf Club which is one of the nicest golf courses in the entire Dallas Area.
Indian Creek offers one of the most laid back and relaxed lifestyles according to many residents which really makes it unique compared to most neighborhoods in Dallas. The Indian Creek Golf Club opened in the mid 1980s which is around the same time that the surrounding neighborhood began to develop; ever since then both the golf course and the neighborhood itself have been developing and expanding consistently into what they have become today. There are hundreds of homes and residences in the area; many of which are located immediately on the golf course although obviously not all are. Given the fact that Indian Creek is considered an upscale neighborhood it is somewhat more exclusive than other neighborhoods which also makes it somewhat more expensive than other neighborhoods as well.
Overall Indian Creek is a very convenient and comfortable place to live due to the location and convenience offered. Indian Creek is located in Carrolton which is a well known and well respected suburb but at the same time Indian Creek is somewhat separated from the city of Carrolton and Dallas which gives residents a disconnected and relaxed lifestyle. Fortunately commuting to basically any part of Dallas is quite easy thanks to the highways and public transport systems available within a very short distance of Indian Creek. No matter what part of Dallas you plan to commute to it should not take very long which makes Indian Creek and all parts of Carrolton very popular with people hoping to work in downtown Dallas while still living in a city or town that isn't as big or as busy as Dallas. Definitely take a look at Indian Creek for your next residence as the area is a very nice and very unique area in Dallas.

Despite a very public career covering the world in guerrilla art, Banksy's true identity has remained unknown.
Banksy is the nom de guerre of a prolific English graffiti artist, political activist, director and painter whose true identity has remained unknown, despite his very public career. His stencil technique street art can be seen across the world, making social and political commentary in satirical and sardonic ways that many have labeled as guerrilla art.
He also created the groundbreaking 2010 documentary, Exit Through the Gift Shop. From the absurd to the provocative to the acerbic, Banksy's art has been witnessed across the globe:
Banksy In The United Kingdom
Banksy began his career in the Bristol graffiti scene in the early 90s,as a hybrid stencil/freehand graffiti artist. By the turn of the century, he had moved completely to stencils as a way to create more intricate pieces in the quickest way possible to avoid detection. Most of his work in the UK can be found in Bristol and London.

Woman fails driving test 105 times!
Are you one of those drivers who took your driving test twice? Perhaps you took it three times and then passed.
You probably received grief from friends and family – but spare a thought for one woman who has failed her test not twice, or three times in a row... but 105 times!
Thought to be the most incapable learner driver to date beating the previous record of 84, the revelation has come courtesy of new statistics released by the Driving Standards Agency.
Thanks to spending £31 - the cost of the theory test – a total of 105 times, the woman from Essex has spent more than £3,000 so far – enough to buy herself a decent set of used wheels for her first car.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, the AA's head of road safety, Andrew Howard, said: "It is absolutely unbelievable, it must have cost her a fortune.
"There are people who are not very good tests, people who are nervous and some just don't prepare adequately.
"Cases like this raise the question that there are some people who just can't pass a theory test."
Robert Gifford, executive director of the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety, added: "It's hard to comprehend how someone could take the theory test this many times and fail.
"At the same time, HM Treasury must be pleased by her persistence since it represents a good income for the Government," he added.
However, all is not lost for the learner driver. A Driving Standards Agency spokesperson told the Daily Telegraph: "She can still get revision books or even, if she prefers an app for her mobile phone."

Some jobs are better left to relevant experts in the industry. One such job is tree removal. To say the least, there are a million and one risks involved in tree removal, more so if you're an armature in the field. The worst of all is falling 40 feet down from a branch and paying dearly with your cherished life. This isn't to mention other serious risks such as sustaining serious injuries from falling from the tree and remaining maimed for the rest of your life.
Another serious risk is being attacked by an animal. Have you ever wondered what you could do if attacked by the king cobra when you're forty feet up the tree? Well, you need to figure that out if you aren't going to hire a tree removal company to maintain, trim off, and remove unwanted trees. The most advisable thing to do is contact a professional tree removal company to help you hand all the tree issues. But before doing so, you need to evaluate and settle on the best company to do the job. Here are the top 5 factors to consider when hiring a tree removal company.
A business license indicates the legitimacy of a company. Hiring a tree removal with a license has lots of benefits. First and foremost, it's a legal requirement that any tree removal mist has a valid license. Thus, by hiring a licensed company, you're protecting yourself from legal suits that can as well be costly. Second, if an unlicensed tree removal damages your property, you wouldn't have any legal recourse. Hire unlicensed persons your risk. TDR Tree Services is one of the best tree services that meets all the requirement by the law.
Valid and relevant insurance cover
Hire an uninsured tree removal and be ready to bear all the associated financial risks. In short, any damage done to your roof or house by uninsured workers will have to be covered by your personal insurer. Sadly, most insurance companies are reluctant to cover such damages unless prior arrangements are made. Also, be ready to bear the cost of any injury and at worst death that may happen as the unlicensed tree removal does the work. In a nutshell, engage only a licensed tree removal company who has liability insurance and worker's compensation insurance.
Check referrals
Checking a tree removal company referrals to confirm its previous work history. This, in turn, can allow you to know the quality of workmanship to expect. Only the tree removal previous customers can give an accurate information of what it's like to work with a given a tree removal. Online reviews give unsolicited information as regards a company's level of service.
Cost estimates
Before anything else and after analyzing the work to be done, ask the company to give you an itemized cost estimates of the work to be done. Even if it's being done at a cost, insist on it. This can help you make an informed judgment on which one levy a fair quotation for the job. Also, it can help protect you from exorbitant billing after the work is done as well as prevent unnecessary future billing disputes.
Safety gear
If a company has a license and a valid insurance cover then it doesn't matter whether its employees have relevant safety gears or not. Well, this may be true, but the way a company treats its employees can shed light to its level of expertise and seriousness. Ideally, a tree removal company's ground employees should at least be in helmets, wear protective glasses or face shields.
They also need to have steel toe boots. Those who climb trees should have the best safety climbing gear such as helmet, proper saddle, glasses, arborist climbing rope, steel toe boots, and helmet. Expert tree removals don't use ladders but use safety and rigging gear specifically designed for the rigors of tree removal in mind. Lowering huge and heavy pieces of wood do cause a considerable amount of friction that without proper tools can cause serious injuries or fatality. Special tree removal gear keeps your home safe, the workers safe, and the work running smoothly.

Former Republican presidents will not endorse Trump
'At age 91, President Bush is retired from politics,' his spokesman told the media
Former US presidents George H W Bush and George W Bush will not endorse Donald Trump's candidacy for president, aides have told local media.
This marks a first for the 91-year-old former president Bush, who had endorsed Republicans in the past five elections.
Republican politicians are struggling to define their support, or lack thereof, for Donald Trump.
Mr Trump's remaining opponents dropped out earlier this week leaving him as the presumptive Republican nominee.
Both Bush men had previously campaigned this year for former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who exited the race in February.
They had each supported past Republican presidential nominees John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012.
Although neither former president has openly attacked Mr Trump or his policy proposals, George W Bush made a veiled criticism at a campaign event for his younger brother saying, "The strongest person usually isn't the loudest one in the room".
"I understand that Americans are angry and frustrated. But we do not need someone in the Oval Office who mirrors and inflames our anger and frustration," George W Bush told the South Carolina audience.
Many Republican candidates for lower offices are concerned about running on the same ballot as Donald Trump, who has alienated minority voters through his rhetoric about building a wall with Mexico and banning US entry to Muslim travellers.
Many American choose to vote for either the Democrat or Republican Party, rather than weighing the individual candidates.
Republican representatives fear that voters who oppose Trump may eschew the Republican Party all together.
John McCain, who is running for his sixth term as senator for the state of Arizona, privately told donors that he will face a tough re-election campaign sharing a ballot with Trump.
"If Donald Trump is at the top of the ticket, here in Arizona, with over 30 percent of the vote being the Hispanic vote, no doubt that this may be the race of my life," the former candidate said according to audio obtained by Politico on Thursday.
Republicans fear that Donald Trump's bombastic statements could harm the entire party in November
Some Republicans, including a former top adviser and speechwriter to Senator McCain, have begun to openly call for the party to oppose the presumptive nominee and to work to independently elect a conservative candidate, such as Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse, who has indicated that he will not be supporting Mr Trump.
In a series of media interviews following Mr Trump's emergence as the sole remaining Republican candidate, he has described his vision for the first 100 days of his administration.
After 100 days the wall on the US-Mexico border will be designed, the ban on Muslims will be in place, and plans to revoke President Obama's executive orders will be under way.
"I know people aren't sure right now what a President Trump will be like," he told the New York Times on Wednesday, "But things will be fine. I'm not running for president to make things unstable for the country."

What difficutlies is having exactly?
Concerned MotherGuest
My son is 9 years old and he might not pass onto the 4th grade. His teacher said that if he works real hard this summer he will be able to pass. I have printed off worksheets for Reading. Is there any certain sites I should go to that will help?
What difficutlies is having exactly?
He has had a lot of ear surgeries and is behind in his reading level due to that. He has problems grasping the concepts of things. He will ask me how to do something with his homework and then a few minutes later is asking the same exact thing.
I'm afraid I teach adults, so I can only pass on a few sites that might help.
Here are some reading sites:
These all deal with reading skills and literacy. You might also find some useful stuff at http//www.sitesforparents.com .
I'm sorry not to be much more help; let's hope a school teacher comes through soon.
Thank you so much, I just don't know where to begin with helping him more. I want to see him succeed and feel helpless. I will check out those sites. Thank you again.
Sorry I didn't respond to you earlier. I am between the computer, cleaning up my dusty blinds and cleaning after my cats that won't leave me for a minute.Originally Posted by Concerned Mother
Well, it's an interesting thing you wrote. My oldest son (now 22) was born dyslexic. But on top of that all he suffered from numerous ear infections when he was in elementary school. That drove me nuts as I never seemed to see the end to that. He had ear tubes put in ...gosh, about 4 times until his ears grew enough and he didn't need the tubes any more.
Do you think his problems might be still related to his hearing loss?
Tdol sent you a nice list of different web sites for you but I would also consider another option. Just to be on the safe side, have your boy checked out for a possible learning disability. When my son was about 6 years old he was in the children's hospital for a learning assessment. It's not an easy thing to do while the 6 year old's vocabulary is relatively small. Even at that, they were excellent in assessing his learning development and already warned me about his future problems and told me what to do to help him throughout school. That was followed by other assessments, more testing, etc.
I wouldn't jump to any conclusions and don't worry! I don't want you to panic. If you have any doubts, please have your family doctor refer him to a pediatrician and see what he thinks. If there is anything to worry about, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Good luck.
You can always leave me an e-mail here. I will see what I can do to help you out. Please, don't hesitate to ask me any questions.

X FACTOR star Sam Callagan has got pulses racing after whipping off his top at a charity fundraising event.
Sam was performing at this year's R U Coming Out bash when he decided to strip off and give revellers a look at his buff body.
The singer, 22, is a regular gym bod and has beefed up considerably since appearing on the 2013 series of The X Factor.
Before attending the event, which was held at London's Vauxhall Tavern, Sam shared a naked torso shot on Instagram.
Alongside it, he commented: "Performing at the @rucomingout party at @thervt today! Should be a giggle."
Former barman Sam, from Essex, recently hit the headlines after a whirlwind romance with Lotto winner Jane Park.
The pair are now set to star in this year's Celebrity Big Brother, where they could confront each other following their bitter break-up.
A source told The Sun Online: "There's been talks about Jane going into Big Brother, originally she wasn't interested but then she heard that Sam was going in and everything changed.
"Jane's a feisty girl. If they both went into the house he wouldn't be able to get away from her."
Meanwhile, Sam's performance at the R U Coming Out bash, held by the LGBT coming out support charity, went down a storm with guests on Thursday night.
Holby City actress Gemma Oaten offered herself up as a co-host for the night and was snapped looking lovely in a floral jumpsuit.
EastEnders' Danny-Boy Hatchard also showed his support to the charity along with TayTay Starhz, who is famed for snogging Zoe Ball.

LumenRadio, a technology leader in wireless lighting controls, will showcase its RDM products and OEM partners at this year's PLASA show. Remote Device Management, RDM, is an extension of DMX that allows bi-directional communication for configuration and monitoring of equipment typically found in entertainment applications and also in many architectural lighting systems.
The company released the first wireless DMX/RDM product based on its wireless CRMX technology in 2009. It has since then completed hundreds of successful installations all over the world and added wired RDM connectivity in the form of the Unity extension. Integral to the success is also SuperNova; a powerful and ever evolving software application that offers a feature rich RDM controller and an easy to use graphical user interface; putting the power of this technology into the hands of the everyday user.
Lighting industry heavyweight Robe, a pioneer in the implementation of RDM by a major moving lights and LED manufacturer, became early partners in the quest to spread the technology and its benefits to the marketplace at large.

Howdy fellow eggheads. Let me start out by saying that I saw this at a food demo at one of LC's competions. What I saw was Kobe and Scallops being seared on a block of pink Himalayan salt. The heat source was many cans of Sterno underneath the block. So I asked myself, "self?" why can't this be done on the BGE.
I searched the web and found a great source for the salt block. www.atthemeadow.com They are located in Portland, OR and get the Bubba Tim Approved customer service thumbs up.
The trick in cooking with a 8" x 16" by 2" thick block of salt, is it MUST BE HEATED VERY SLOWLY.
This is what the salt block looked like before it's first heating.
Since we do not have a gas stove to heat the salt block, I used a butane "Thunder Range" and the large pizza stone to get it to 125 degrees. (Started at 78)
Notice as I start heating, the micro-fissures will start to form and spread. This is normal.
Removed The Pizza stone. Keep watching the mirco-fissures.
The Salt block around 550 degress
Kobe steak searing on the salt block
U10 Scallops searing on the salt block
Here is all that made it to the plate...lol
The Scalops picked up just the right amount of the salt however, the kobe needed more. The problem with this way of searing is, I had a tendancy to eat the beef and scalops right off the salt block. This was a lot of work but lots of fun. This would be a neat thing to do for a party with fellow eggheads.
To clean the salt block, wash the salt block with warm water and scrub lightly with a brush. Dry the block very well and set aside to dry for 24 hours. This is what the block looked like after cleaning and compared to a virgin block.

Via Share a story
Share a Story - Shape a Future is a blog event for literacy. Throughout the week, blogging librarians, teachers, parents, authors, illustrators and people passionate about literacy will offer ideas on ways to promote reading and books. You won't find statistics, academic analysis, or judgments that tell you why you should read. Instead, we are using the power of the Worldwide web to share ideas about ways to engage kids as readers.
Each day, bloggers will talk about different aspects of literacy and reading. Themes include raising readers, selecting suitable material, tips for reading aloud, using audiobooks, and how to use the library as an ally. The organizers have several giveaways planned, and will offer free, downloadable content.
Via The Book Chook

Host: Jen Robinson @Jen Robinson's Book Page
Join us as we talk about how to approach reading when your interests and your child's don't match. It may be that you don't like to read but your child does, how to raise the reader you're not, and dealing with the "pressure" of feeling forced to read.

M6 Closure J4 to J3 Southbound, Warwickshire, Thursday 29 September 2016.
The M6 southbound in Warwickshire was closed between J4 (M42, A446) and J3 (A444) throughout the late morning and afternoon of Thursday 29th September 2016. This was following a serious collision involving 2 lorries and 2 cars that resulted in a fatality. The road was closed whilst Warwickshire Police carried out a full collision investigation, the vehicles recovered and infrastructure repairs were completed.
At 09:23 on Thursday 29th September 2016 Warwickshire Police received a 999 call from a member of the public reporting they'd witnessed a serious collision on the M6 southbound near to J3a. The caller advised that one of the vehicles involved appeared to be a lorry and that it had shed its load. At the same time Warwickshire Fire & Rescue as well as West Midlands Ambulance Service also received 999 calls from road users reporting similar and that there were injuries. As a result units from Warwickshire Police, Warwickshire Fire & Rescue and West Midlands Ambulance Service were despatched to the scene.
Warwickshire Police notified Highways England's West Midlands Regional Control Centre of the incident at 09:25 and warning signs were set on the electronic Variable Message Signs (VMS) above the motorway on the M6 southbound and the M42 in both directions approaching the M6 interchange to warn road users of the incident.
The first emergency responders arrived on scene at approximately 09:30 and quickly established that this was a very serious collision involving 2 lorries and 2 cars. West Midlands Ambulance Service requested additional support on arrival at the scene — including the attendance of two air ambulances (from Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance and from Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance services). The first air ambulance arrived by 09:40. Despite their best efforts, they reported the driver of one of the HGVs had suffered extremely serious injuries in the collision and sadly they were unable to save the driver who was confirmed dead at the scene. Warwickshire Police immediately requested at 10:15 the motorway be closed from J4 to deal with the incident and Highways England resources (who already had patrols en-route) despatched further units and contractors to the area in order to implement the closure.
The closures of the southbound M6 approaching J4 and the roads linking on to the M6 from the M42 and M6 Toll started to be fully closed at 09:50 and the closures were in place by 11:00. The traffic that was trapped within the closure had to remain in place whilst screens were erected around the scene of the incident. Once this was done the trapped traffic began to be filtered past the scene in a lane at 12:00 and was all clear by 13:00 after an additional lane was able to be open past the scene at approximately 12:30.
With the confirmation of the road being totally closed, operators located at our National Traffic Operations Centre were informed to set national strategic signage on the wider motorway network in order to inform customers and our National Incident Liaison Officers were also briefed and began the process of informing customers and the wider travel media. Breaking News was immediately set on Highways England Websites to inform of the closure and, via Highways England social media channels [@HighwaysWMIDS], updates were tweeted on events which were unfolding and continued to be done so throughout the duration of the closure.
As the incident was within the West Midlands conurbation, there is already a pre-agreed diversion route with our partners and the diversion uses major roads nearby. This information was conveyed to the public via social media and the Highways England website as well as on incident reports issued to third party travel info providers and to the local and national media.
Warwickshire Police undertook the collision investigation throughout the late morning and early afternoon. At 14:00 the scene was handed over for the recovery of the vehicles involved and the clean-up of a large spillage of vehicle fluids. Highways England workers from our West Midlands maintenance contractors Kier were on scene ready to begin the process of clearing the road as soon as it was handed over from the police. By 15:00 it was safe to open 3 lanes (of 5) past the scene whilst they continued to clean-up. The closure of the M6 was removed by 15:30 and traffic was brought through under a rolling road block by Highways England Traffic Officers for the safety of both road workers remaining on scene and the travelling public.
The remaining debris and liquids were cleared by 16:15 and all 5 lanes were reopened by 16:35.
Throughout the incident significant delays approaching the closure on both the M6 and M42. In addition delays were seen on the diversion route detailed above. Throughout the incident Highways England kept the public informed of the closure and its impact via social media (on our @HighwaysWMids account on twitter) and online via our Traffic England website (mobile version here). Electronic Variable Message Signs on the major roads across the west of England and Midlands were used to advise approaching road users already on their journeys. Highways England produced and distributed regular updates to the local and national media and to third party traffic information providers.
If you were impacted by this closure Highways England would like to thank you for your patience and understanding.
Warwickshire Police have advised that their officers investigating the incident would like to hear from anyone who witnessed it or saw any of the vehicles, and the manner in which they were being driven, before it occurred.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Warwickshire Police Operational Patrol Unit on 01788 541111 quoting incident 96 of 29 September.

DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters) - At least three people were killed and several injured on Saturday evening by an explosion at an election rally held by Tanzanian opposition party Chadema, witnesses and the state broadcaster said.
Police said they were still investigating the cause of the blast in the northern city of Arusha but senior political figures made clear they believed the incident was a bombing.
"At least two children and one woman died in the explosion. More than a dozen people were injured and rushed to hospital ... it was a nightmare," said Rose Shayo, an eyewitness.
The blast occurred near the main stage as party chairman Freeman Mbowe was addressing supporters in the Soweto area of Arusha, the Tanzanian Broadcasting Corporation reported.
"We have launched an investigation into the incident... there was a lot of panic and chaos after the explosion went off," Advera Senso, national police spokeswoman, told Reuters.
Chadema officials have long complained against a government crackdown on opposition demonstrations and public rallies. They were not immediately available for a comment after the explosion in Arusha.
"I'm sincerely saddened by a bomb blast in a campaign rally in Arusha. My condolences to those who lost their loved ones," ruling CCM party member of parliament Hamisi Kigwangalla said in a statement.
"I join you in condemning (those responsible) and consoling those who lost their loved ones as we await an official government statement," Foreign Minister Bernard Membe said on his Twitter account.

A college freshman studying in New York City died at a home in the Poconos over the weekend during an apparent fraternity initiation ceremony.
Michael Deng, 19, of Oakland Gardens, Queens, attended Bronx High School of Science. Hewas a freshman at Baruch College in New York City and died while participating in an unsanctioned fraternity pledging event, ABC reported.
There were reportedly 30 members of the Pi Delta Psi fraternity and four new "pledges" at a rented Poconos home on Candlewood Drive inTunkhannock Township during the event that, according to police, included a ritual initiation where pledges endured verbal insults and physical abuse in the backyard.
Monroe County District Attorney E. David Christine, Jr. told The New York Times that frat pledges were engaging in an initiation called the "glass ceiling," where a blindfolded pledge with a heavy object on their back must navigate their way to a person calling their name as other participants try to tackle and knock them down.
Deng reportedly was unresponsive after sustaining a traumatic injury, and fraternity members brought him inside, according to the Monroe County District Attorney's Office. An unspecified amount of time later they brought him to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Hospital early Sunday morning, where he was found unresponsive and in critical condition, and quickly placed on life support. Pocono Mountain Regional Police Officers were advised of the situation at 8:15 a.m. that morning.
Deng died early Monday.
"Baruch College is saddened to confirm the recent death of Chun Hsien (Michael) Deng, a Baruch freshman, as reported to us by the president of the national fraternity Pi Delta Psi," says a statement released by Baruch College. "The preliminary reports indicate that Michael died over the weekend while participating in an unsanctioned fraternity pledging event."
Baruch College stated that it has a "zero tolerance policy regarding hazing" and will assist authorities in investigating the death.

Don't just take our word. See why our customers love WPForms!
I took WPForms for a spin today and was very impressed with the experience.
The form builder is intuitive and a pleasure to work with. I love that I can easily enable/disable the field labels/sub-labels and that I can easily add placeholder text.
Also, it looks like the auto-generated markup and CSS is very minimal which will make it easy to add custom styles.
Robby McCullough // BeaverBuilder
I've used Formidable Pro, Ninja Forms and Gravity Forms—none of them can compare to the speed and ease I just had setting up my first form with WPForms. It took just a few minutes to have a beautiful and fully functioning form on my contact page. And it worked on the first try—which is much better than the experiences I've had with the other form plugins. I am thrilled with WPForms!

Huntsworth Health | 2017
PerformanceRevenue increased 31% to about $112 million in 2016
Plans"We're going to put an office near the European Medicines Agency site, or in Switzerland or Germany"
— Neil Matheson
Prediction"Figuring out how our clients are going to deal with political issues — this administration is about controlling drug prices at a government level — will create challenges"
— Neil Matheson
Several years ago, an oncologist working for the Intermountain Healthcare system in Utah treated a patient with late-stage gastrointestinal cancer who died before she had the chance to try the right therapy. Saddened by her death, Dr. Lincoln Nadauld went on to develop a protocol that matches treatment to tumor mutation and a sequencing test to more quickly identify the mutation. That protocol and test are now assets of the company Navican.
This is the kind of story healthcare marketers dream about — so claiming that business proved one of the best moments of an already lucrative year for Huntsworth Health, reports global CEO Neil Matheson. "They're doing something to change the shape of cancer care," he says.
Huntsworth handled branding and website development for Navican, one of a handful of new genomic and genetic-sequencing clients the agency has added in recent years. Pursuing these clients is part of the Huntsworth network's overarching strategy to expand its client base beyond mainstream pharma and bio-tech clients.
"We're seeing an explosion in this space," Matheson explains. "This period in medicine is akin to when penicillin was discovered."
The network had a 31% increase in revenue to roughly $112 million in 2016. Huntsworth employed 512 people in the U.S. at the end of 2016, up from 400 in 2015. Significant client additions last year included cord blood bank Natera, Theravance Biopharma, UCB, Anacor, and Merrimack.
Matheson points to several factors for the growth, including further development of the network's market-access capabilities. The growth also prompted the creation of two agencies: Firsthand, an HCP and patient agency, in 2015, and Fabric, a multicultural shop, in early 2017.
"There is a real need for Hispanic language communications and a lot of other cultural-related comms, such as in the LGBT area," he says. "It's even more relevant than in the past."
While managing double-digit growth is every executive's dream headache, Matheson is quick to identify the challenges that come with it. He cites the difficulty of landing A-grade talent, both in general and specifically in the Chicago market.
Huntsworth is debating whether to open an office in the new site for the European Medicines Agency, soon to leave London in Brexit's wake. (Huntsworth has no plans to abandon its London office, Matheson stresses.)
Look for the network to pounce when opportunity arises. Drugmakers, still the agency's bread and butter, continue to shift more of their marketing dollars away from HCP promotional activities and into medical affairs. They are also spending more on digital and social media.
"The emphasis turns to scientific and medical content," he notes. "We've been able to capitalize on that shift of ad revenue."
