Just stopping by to say a fond farewell to Storytelling Sunday. After three wonderful years of memorable yarns, it's creator has rung down the final curtain with a cracking tale that is the perfect reminder to us all to listen more carefully and take note of those small but oh, so important moments that happen every day. Write them down, record them in some way, so that they are never forgotten. Storytelling Sunday has given so many of us the opportunity to do just that and I will miss it greatly.
Thank you Sian for creating and inviting me to remember so many big and small occasions during the past couple of years during my participation. Sharing stories, feeling part of a group of lovely bloggers, has meant a lot to me.
The theme for Storytelling Sunday Three this past year has been Pick Your Precious. As this is the last one, I can think of nothing more precious than my family. These past few months have been enormously difficult ones and continue to be so. Life sometimes has a way of turning your world upside down and the things you enjoy the most have to take a back seat. I have felt the lack of blogging keenly but the living has had to be got through. Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans, sang John Lennon in a 'Beautiful Boy'. How true is this?
I recently celebrated my 68th birthday. My elder daughter took me out for afternoon tea with the grandchildren. How precious is this!
My younger daughter was too ill to travel, but I joined her and her husband in Kent a few days later and celebrated my son-in-law's birthday.
These are the people that mean the world to me. They are my precious.
So, a fond farewell Storytelling Sunday. Your stories will never be forgotten.
Hugs, Irene x

Yes, it's that Arch. We're talking about Slackware here, that's not much of a stretch for this market. And like I mentioned already, once you figure out what's expected in the configs, it takes a couple minutes to write them. It takes me longer to choose my package set.
The thing I love is how centralized it is around a single menu, rather than dragging you along a predetermined path at it's own pace. Arch lets me take my time when I needed it, and lets me blaze through now that I don't.
Also, something about the whole thing makes it feel more natural to drop to a command line. It's like you're still in control, so there isn't any added barrier to the notion.
Comparatively, the Slackware installer seems rather... overgrown. It's still one of my favorite OS installers, but I'm of the opinion that it needs to be heavily consolidated.
But it's been awhile since I played with Slackware, 9.1 if I remember. Maybe I'll grab the ISO at work tomorrow, and give it another go once I'm done playing with Foresight and Vector. I need to try out that new upgrade to 7Mbps DSL anyway

Carroll Shelby, the charismatic Texan who parlayed a short-lived racing career into a specialized business building high-performance, street-legal cars, died Thursday. He was 89.
Shelby died at Baylor Hospital in Dallas, according to an announcement by his company, Carroll Shelby Licensing. A cause was not disclosed.
He led a colorful, outsized life that touched virtually every corner of the automotive world, said Leslie Kendall, curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
"He was the only individual to influence the designs of all three major American automakers. Everything he touched became legendary," Kendall said. "Even recently he was working on an experimental engine."
Living in the fast lane was a matter of fact for Carroll Shelby, who designed the cult-classic Shelby Cobras and Ford's Shelby Mustang.
He raced cars. He had a heart transplant from a Las Vegas gambler in 1990 and a kidney transplant from a son in 1996. He was married seven times.
While trying to fend off an anticipated heart attack, he drove in a 200-mile race in 1960 with nitroglycerin pills underneath his tongue, finishing third at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey.
"If I hadn't slowed down each time I popped one of those pills, I might have won," he said. He announced his retirement as a driver later that year after clinching the U.S. Road Racing championship series at Riverside International Raceway.
Five years earlier he had replaced a plastic cast on his broken elbow with a fiberglass one and had his hand taped to the steering wheel so he could help Phil Hill drive a Ferrari to second place in a 12-hour race at Sebring, Fla.
"Carroll Shelby is one of the most recognized names in performance car history, and he's been successful at everything he's done," said Edsel B. Ford II, a member of the board of directors of Ford Motor Co.and great-grandson of Henry Ford, founder of the company. "Whether helping Ford dominate the 1960s racing scene, to building some of the most famous Mustangs, his enthusiasm and passion for great automobiles over six decades has truly inspired everyone who worked with him."
Shelby most recently collaborated with the automaker on the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang, which has 650 horsepower, making it the most powerful production V8 in the world.
Born Jan. 11, 1923, in Leesburg, Texas, Carroll Hall Shelby grew up in east Texas and attended high school in Dallas. He served as a flight instructor at Lackland Air Force Base near San Antonio during World War II.
Although he did not become a race driver until he was 29, his rapid successes and unique bib-overalls racing uniform made him a legendary figure before he retired at 37.
His first race, in January 1952, was in a drag race in a friend's MG. Later that year, he drove the same car in an oval track race in Norman, Okla., and won.
That's about the time the bib overalls became part of his lore.
"I was back home in Texas working on a chicken farm when I remembered I was supposed to be at a race at the Eagle Mountain Naval Air Station," he recalled. "It was real hot, so I didn't bother to change. The overalls were comfortable, so when I got to the track I kept them on. When I noticed how much attention they got, I decided to wear them all the time."
He first attracted international attention in 1954 in a Kimberly Cup race in Argentina where he drove an Allard with Dale Duncan. When the engine erupted in flames, Shelby instructed Duncan to douse the fire by urinating on it. The fire out, Shelby finished 10th, first among the amateur teams.
Returning home, he set a number of endurance records driving an Austin-Healey for Donald Healey at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.
In 1957, he won 19 consecutive races and was named Sports Illustrated's driver of the year for the second time.
Racing in Europe in 1959, he helped Aston-Martin capture the World Manufacturing Championship by winning the 24 Hours of LeMans with Roy Salvadori as a co-driver.
When his racing career ended a year later after his third national championship, Shelby set his mind on building an American sports car that could beat the best European models. After he learned that AC Bristol, a British auto manufacturer, was discontinuing a certain chassis, he had some shipped to him at his new base in Los Angeles. Then he talked his friend Lee Iacocca, then a Ford executive, into building a car that would "blow the Corvettes into the weeds."
The light European-style chassis melded with a big American V8 engine eventually became the Shelby Cobras that are now American cult cars.
"I had a lot of fun driving race cars, but it wasn't my No. 1 priority," Shelby told The Times in 2006. "Driving race cars was an avenue for me to learn how to build my own car, and that was my ambition all along."
Showing a knack for salesmanship, Shelby had the same car painted different colors so that he could get cover feature stories in different automotive magazines at the same time. He liked to tell the story that when he was down to his last $20, he used it to take an auto writer to lunch to talk him into a story about his Cobras.
Road & Track magazine called the hot-rod "nothing more than a weapon designed specifically for proceeding from one point to another in a minimum amount of time."
The Cobras won Sports Car Club of America manufacturing championships from 1963 through 1965 and in 1965 beat out Ferrari, the first and only time an American-conceived car won the world championship. A year later, European rule makers banned the 7-liter engine used by Shelby.
"We were a bunch of hot-rodders from Venice, California, and to beat Ferrari the way we did, well, I'm still proud of it," Shelby said in 2006.
Ford had hired Shelby in the mid-1960s to pump up the performance of the Mustang, but by 1970, when the expense of building Shelby's version became prohibitive, his interest flagged and he turned to other endeavors, including a safari business in Africa which he ran for seven years, and a chili cook-off in Terlingua, Texas, that led to his marketing his own brand of chili.
In 1982, Iacocca, by then chairman of Chrysler Corp., brought him back into the car designing and marketing business. Shelby served as a performance consultant for Chrysler sports car programs and helped introduce the Viper, a 400-horsepower, V-10 product that emphasized power. He also worked briefly in the '90s with Oldsmobile on plans for a lightweight, high-powered car.
In recent years he had returned to Ford to work on the concept for the new Mustang GT500 and wrangled with manufacturers of Cobra replicas over the rights to the design. His Las Vegas factory cranked out his own fiberglass version, and he also had a plant there making racing tires.
He established the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation to pay medical bills of children who have heart disease and can't afford treatment. A portion of proceeds from the sale of his Cobras goes into that fund.
Shelby had homes in Los Angeles and Las Vegas as well as two ranches in Texas.
In addition to his wife, Cleo, his survivors include sons Patrick and Michael (who donated a kidney to his father); a daughter, Sharon Levine; and a sister, Anne Shelby Ellison, all of whom live in the Dallas area.
Glick, The Times' longtime motor racing writer, filed a version of this obituary before his death in 2007.

Classic recipe alert! This meatless chili, which has just the right amount of kick to it, was previously found only on the pages of Hungry Girl: Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World. It's become such a favorite that we've decided to share it with the online population. Pssst... In case you're wondering, it's named after HG Lisa's husband, Dan, who created the dish. Enjoy!
4 1/4 cups canned tomato sauce
1 cup canned diced tomatoes with green chiles
1/2 cup jarred jalapeño slices, drained and chopped
1 1/2 tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. crushed garlic
1 3/4 cups peeled and chopped carrots
1 1/2 cups chopped onions (1 - 2 onions)
1 1/2 cups chopped portabella mushrooms
1 large red bell pepper, stem removed, seeded, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, stem removed, seeded, chopped
1 cup canned sweet corn kernels, drained
3/4 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
3/4 cup canned red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Optional: salt
In a large pot over low heat on the stove, combine tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with green chiles, jalapeños, chili powder, and cumin. Stir well.
Once mixture is hot, add garlic and carrots. Stir and continue to cook for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large skillet to medium heat on the stove. Add onions, mushrooms, peppers, 1/2 cup water and, if you like, a few dashes of salt. Stirring occasionally, cook until veggies have just slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon to drain any excess water, transfer veggies from the skillet to the large pot. Add corn, beans, and Worcestershire sauce to the pot as well. Mix thoroughly.
Cook over low heat for about 2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes or so, until all veggies are tender.
Serve it up!

When it comes to Steak 'n Shake, you probably already know to avoid the Chili Deluxe (with cheese and onions), Chili 3-Way (over spaghetti with extra beef), and Chili 5-Way (over spaghetti with cheese, onions, and extra beef). But, like us, you might have assumed that ordering a simple cup of the stuff (without toppings) would be an okay choice. FALSE. And you see the same thing everywhere you go -- a seemingly innocent, spoonable side order or meal starter with shockingly high fat and calorie counts. Even turkey chili, chicken chili, veggie chili, and chili out of a can are potential calorie bombs. That's why we love our veggie-loaded chili so much. The stats are just right. And you'll never miss the meat; those portabella mushrooms make it extra-hearty. Plus there are SO many beans and vegetables in there -- it's SUPER-CHUNKY. So much good stuff, without a drop of grease in sight. Be careful out there in Chili-ville... or better yet, just whip up your own batch of Dan-Good Chili and keep it on hand for all your chili needs!

MATAWAN, N.J., Jan. 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medical practices across the country are increasingly using social media to communicate with patients. Old Bridge Spine and Wellness Center in Matawan, NJ is leading this trend, using social media to stay connected with patients and share daily wellness tips. The chiropractic care center maintains an active presence on Facebook and other social media sites. According to the practice, services like Facebook are the ideal way to connect with patients on a regular basis. The practice is also active on Twitter and Google+.
Old Bridge chiropractor Dr. Peter Bufano and Daniel Neissany, PT, DPT are finding new ways to stay in touch with busy patients. The chiropractors are using Facebook and other social media sites to share daily wellness tips, updated chiropractic news, and seasonal care information.
"Our website is a great resource for general information about chiropractic care and natural pain management," said Dr. Bufano. "Social media allows us to be further engaged with patients, sharing the latest wellness news and also answering patients' general questions."
The practice has been focusing on wellness tips to avoid seasonal injuries as well as encourage preventative care. "Each day, we do many small things that can aggravate chronic pain," said Neissany. "Something as simple as carrying heavy shopping bags or slouching on the commute home from work can strain the lower back. In our busy lives, we may not think about how these little things can add up to pain and injury. Facebook is a great way to bring awareness to our patients' lives and help reduce the risk for chronic back pain."
According to Neissany, giving patients another outlet in which to receive credible, useful information is important. "Our website works as a valuable resource for our patients," said Neissany. "However, updates to our practice and our industry occur constantly, and we want to provide a way for people to keep up-to-date with these changes."
By sharing the health tips and news about current wellness care information on Facebook, it helps foster an interactive dialogue, which is not always possible on a static website. Being more actively involved in social media is the way many chiropractors are headed due to an increase in the use of smartphones and the number of people online.
"Social media is just one of the many ways we provide enhanced patient care. We want to be accessible to our patients," said Dr. Bufano.
Individuals who would like to learn more about chiropractic care may join the Old Bridge chiropractor on social media at https://www.facebook.com/OldBridgeSpine.

Mildred E. "Millie" Banwell, an artist who was a longtime supporter of the Light House shelter and an active member of Calvary United Methodist Church, died Sunday of pulmonary fibrosis at Hospice of the Chesapeake in Pasadena.
The longtime Annapolis resident was 75.
"I have a very high regard for her and we will miss her terribly. She was a great Christian lady and a leader at Calvary," said the Rev. Byron P. Brought, who pastored Calvary in Annapolis from 1992 until 2010, when he retired.
"She was the patron saint of the Light House," said Elizabeth Kinney, executive director of the Annapolis homeless shelter. "She was a person of perennial optimism, hope and joy. I considered her a mentor and am very sad at her passing."
The daughter of a businessman and an office manager, Mildred Elizabeth Costen was born in Washington and raised in Richmond, Va., where she graduated in 1955 from Thomas Jefferson High School.
After graduating in 1959 with an art degree from the Richmond Professional Institute, now Virginia Commonwealth University, Mrs. Banwell went to work in Washington as art director of the Yellow Pages. She left the Yellow Pages in 1964.
An amateur actress, Mrs. Banwell was performing with the Mount Vernon Players in Washington when she met her future husband, who was then a student at the University of Colorado.
"I met her when she was performing in the chorus line of 'Little Mary Sunshine,' and I was instantly smitten with her, let's say, and I knew I had to meet her," said her husband, James G. Banwell.
"I went back to Colorado to graduate and then got a job in Phoenix, Ariz. We married in 1965," said Mr. Banwell, a semi-retired sales consultant.
After moving to Annapolis in 1967, the couple joined Calvary, where she remained an active member until her death.
During the late 1960s, she and her husband were church youth leaders, and for many years, Mrs. Banwell was a Stephen minister at Calvary, where she counseled those who were grief-stricken, sick or separated.
In addition to her church work, Mrs. Banwell was a longtime supporter of the Light House, which is owned by Annapolis Area Ministries.
For years, she was in charge of the shelter's silent auction held at its annual Bountiful Harvest fundraising dinner.
"She was the person who engaged me through the Friends of the Light House and for three years she got me to chair the silent auction," said Ms. Kinney. "She was just a lot of fun and such a thoughtful and kind person."
When the decision was made to replace the old shelter on West Street, which the Light House had outgrown, Mrs. Banwell rose to the occasion.
"She was a wonderful, caring, loving and compassionate person," said Mr. Brought, who is now interim senior pastor at Trinity United Methodist Church in Prince Frederick.
"During the time I was at Calvary, Millie played a key role in our connection to Light House. She always had been an advocate for the homeless and collected food for the hungry," recalled Mr. Brought.
"She was a major leader in our connection to the ministry that runs the shelter, which is composed of several Annapolis churches," he said.
"She came to me and said, 'Let's sell one of our properties to help jump-start the capital campaign,'" said her husband. "A plaque on the new resource center's third floor recalls her help and is dedicated to her."
The $8.3 million shelter — now called the Light House Homeless Prevention and Support Center — opened in the fall of 2010 on nearby Hudson Street, and is able to accommodate 30 men and 15 women for stays up to 90 days.
"Light House is the only shelter in Anne Arundel County serving adults and children 365 days a year," reported The Baltimore Sun at its opening.
"She was always thinking about Light House. It was a mission with Millie and she did so much work on its behalf of the organization," said Ms. Kinney. "When I think of community service, I think of the Banwells."
Mrs. Banwell, who enjoyed painting portraits in oil, was also an accomplished potter.
"Her hobbies were her children and Light House," her husband said. "She also liked flower gardening."
A funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at her church, 301 Rowe Blvd., Annapolis.
In addition to her husband, Mrs. Banwell is survived by two sons, Jamie Banwell of Loch Raven Village and Robert Banwell of Annapolis; a brother, Ralph Costen of Richmond; a sister, Carol Anne Kernodle of Danville, Va.; and seven grandchildren.

Recent reviews
Very Good 8.4 From 47 reviews
In this area this place was a great place. Safety and accommodating was the strong points. This place is getting old and needs some upgrading and repairs. It is very nicely done, just older. Loved the bathrooms!
Our entire trip to Nicaragua was wonderful. We stayed at Pelican Eyes for 1 week, in a regular room. It was spacious, clean and comfortable. It afforded stunning views of the harbor and the town below. The food in the restaurant was very good, and reasonable priced by North American standards. The staff was friendly, and always ready to be helpful. Most had difficulty in speaking English, but between their limited capabilities and ours in Spanish, and with gestures, communications were good. Word of caution: there are no elevators, and the hotel is built in a mountain side. We had the second room from the reception area, and we had to climb 50 steps to our room. There were 240 steps to the uppermost rooms. Those steps are not adequately lit at night, so some caution should be exercised. The hotel is conveniently located, within walking distance of most anything in San Juan del Sur. We would return to this hotel if we were to come back to San Juan. Photos are view from our room, both daytime and sunset.
Stay was great although there was a wedding the same weekend and pool and restaurant was closed in phase 2 (where I was staying) so you had to get them to come get you to bring you back to phase 1 on the other side of the property. This was a slow process sometimes. I wish that they had put me in phase 1 after knowing about the wedding. Also, the towels looked a bit weathered.
The location was fantastic and the view was wonderful. However, I had booked two rooms requesting that they be close to each other but they were at opposite ends of the complex. One was a standard style hotel room and the other was a beautiful condo style accommodation. Room #1 had issues with bugs. There was a cockroach under the covers and the bathroom was full of ants. Maintenance came and sprayed, but it was still pretty awful. Room #2 was fine. Online and when we checked in we were told we would receive a complementary breakfast so we went to it and then they told us because we booked through Hotels.com that we didn't qualify and tried to charge us. They did the right thing by us and waved the bill because the knew they told us upon check in that it was included. The rooms are quite spread out and a shuttle was needed to get anywhere. They were very prompt in picking us up anytime we wanted go go anywhere. Overall it was a nice place to stay.
What an amazing stay!! The hotel is located in one of the best beaches in nicaragua and the house was amazing!! The amenities are dreamy and the service is out if this world!!
Is the description of this property not correct? Tell us

I'm trying to set something up for shoot 3D panos.
I have a NN5L RD16 and I'm looking at getting another NN5L NO ROTATOR and two NN5 5L Stand Rotator 5 ring sets.
I also have a two Canon 5D-II and two 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses that I want to try shooting some 3D panos with. Using this lens from 70-200mm I'm not sure what detent rings I would need, that's why I'm looking at getting the 2 sets, one for each NN5 VERTICAL RAIL assembly.
The other thing that I will be doing is custom making a NN5L lower rail where it's a little longer and sticks out on both sides of the R-D16 Rotator. This will allow for 2 cameras, one on each side of the R-D16 Rotator, where the distance between cameras can be adjusted as needed for shooting 3D images.
I think this setup should work for shooting 3D Giga Panos.

Disordered Photonics
|Event Date:

|Speaker Affiliation:
|Yale University
Most of the research in the field of photonics has focused on understanding and mitigating the effects of disorder which are often detrimental. For certain applications, however, intentionally introducing disorder can actually improve the device performance, e.g., in photovoltaics optical scattering improves the efficiency of light harvesting. We have utilized multiple scattering in a random photonic structure to build a compact on-chip spectrometer. The probe signal diffuses through a scattering medium generating wavelength-dependent speckle patterns which can be used to recover the input spectrum after calibration. Multiple scattering increases the optical pathlength by folding the paths in a confined geometry, enhancing the spectral decorrelation of speckle patterns and thus increasing the spectral resolution. By designing and fabricating the spectrometer on a silicon wafer, we efficiently channel the scattered light to the detectors, minimizing the reflection loss. We demonstrate the wavelength resolution of 0.75 nm at the center wavelength of 1500 nm in a 25 μm by 50 μm random structure. Furthermore, the phenomenal control afforded by semiconductor nanofabrication technology enables engineering of the disorder to reduce the out-of-plane scattering loss. Such a compact, high-resolution spectrometer that is integrated on a silicon chip and robust against the fabrication imperfections is well suited for lab-on-a-chip spectroscopy applications.

An insight into an Indian woman worker's life
- 1 Post
- Age 21
**The women's names in this post have been altered to just the first letter for anonymity.**
After a lot of heated discussions and debates about the violation
of women's rights, it suddenly struck me that maybe we were
looking too far. Why not start off right at our backyard? Our
school employs hundreds of women from poor backgrounds in the
housekeeping department. Surely, they could tell us all about the
issues and problems that they face! So we approached the head of
the housekeeping department and asked for an interview with these
women. He was more than glad to set it up saying that we had come
to the right place. Among these women, I could notice the scars
they bore – both emotional and physical – though they tried their
best to cover them up. A closer look at the stoic janitor, I
could perceive all wasn't well. It seemed the same with another,
and then another. Initially they were reluctant to tell us about
their lives but slowly with time, they began to thaw and open up.
I was more than eager to hear their story.
Most of these women are between the ages of 28 to 40. Apart from working at our school, they are compelled to work as housemaids. These women are challenged by a variety of issues on a daily basis. These span from shortage of food, poor health, taxing budgets to alcoholic husbands and abusive loan sharks. I realized that there was a similar trend in all of their cases. All of them appear to be caught in a vicious cycle. What these women earn, their unemployed husbands drown in alcohol. These drunkards end up getting into violent quarrels with other men. Also, after they return home they beat up their wives brutally, for no particular reason. Regardless of the topic in question, there is always a quarrel and physical abuse that leads to injuries, sometimes very severe. The women are forced to endure these injuries without medical care due to the fear of spiraling bills.
The scars they bore were visible, starkly contrasting with their skin. One of them had a stitch beneath her lower lip where she was backhanded while the other had a cut finger where her husband had forced her hand into a running machine. It wasn't surprising that some of them had tried ending their lives. Ms.V. (36) told me how her drunken husband came home every night and physically and verbally abused her to such an extent that she tried committing suicide not once, but thrice!
I thought her case might be the worst. But boy, was I wrong! There was another lady who had an unemployed alcoholic for a husband who came home every night and beat her. P. (28) told me how her husband once, had forcefully hit her on the face which led to a bleeding injury. As she was wiping the blood away, he lifted her by the neck and rammed her head into the wall and also broke her hand. This didn't end here. She further continued to say that this drove her to try hanging herself. I was just staring at her open-mouthed trying to process the inhumanness of the whole situation. These are just a few of the several cases where these hard working women are treated with contempt. All these women face so much evil while we who have the capacity to help, sit back and do nothing about it.
Apart from all the physical pain, they have to bear the financial burden of the whole family. When I asked them about additional revenue (if any), they told me that they take innumerable loans from loan sharks and invariably end up being unable to pay back the money. And these loan sharks verbally abuse them to no end.

We are a society driven by aesthetics, and despite the economy, cosmetic surgery is becoming more and more prevalent, especially among women. The patients we see in the emergency department usually are not the cases that went well. We tend to see a skewed sample of plastic surgery complications - the worst of the worst, so to speak.
We are a society driven by aesthetics, and despite the economy, cosmetic surgery is becoming more and more prevalent, especially among women. The patients we see in the emergency department usually are not the cases that went well. We tend to see a skewed sample of plastic surgery complications � the worst of the worst, so to speak.
From the sublime to the intriguing, I have seen enough cases gone awry to keep me from ever considering any procedure.They include: � A breast-implant patient who fell while running down a hill and ruptured her right silicone implant. � A woman who died after a liposuction procedure. A globule of fat inadvertently got into her circulation system and lodged in her lung. � A woman who wanted me to alter her medical record to disguise the fact that she crossed the border to Canada to have gastric-bypass surgery to drop from a size 10 to a size 4. She had complications with a subsequent bowel obstruction and wanted her insurance to cover her hospitalization. I declined.
These are not necessarily the outcomes of poor surgery. They are uncommon, yet realistic, complications of aesthetic surgery.
The most-interesting case I have seen was that of a woman who came into the emergency department complaining of having difficulty swallowing.She told me that, for two or three days, swallowing liquids or solids caused her to choke, gag and sputter. She also had noted some blurred vision, particularly when she looked far to the left, right or up.
The patient told me up front that she had undergone her first Botox treatment the day before her symptoms started and was convinced the procedure was the root of her problems.During her physical exam, I saw that the nerves that controlled her ability to swallow appeared intact, but weakened. She was able to look to the left and right, but could not hold her gaze in either direction.She also couldn�t seem to keep her eyes open. She said she wasn�t tired, but that her muscles felt fatigued.Her symptoms and the findings of the exam pointed to occulo-bulbar palsy, a significant localized weakness in the cranial nerves.
The tests we ran on her showed nothing of note besides some mild dehydration. There was no evidence of a stroke, no electrolyte or blood chemistry abnormalities and no evidence of infection.It was looking more and more like the patient was correct about the Botox.
Botox is an injectable facial pharmaceutical that paralyzes the small muscles around wrinkles to minimize their appearance. These neurotoxins are some of the most-toxic naturally occurring substances.Regardless, botulinum toxin is considered a safe therapy. Adverse effects are typically minor, with localized skin irritation being the most common.Although it�s a rare complication, the same paralytic capacity of the toxin can migrate beyond the area of cosmetic repair and affect other muscles, especially if the patient has a previously undiagnosed neuromuscular disease.
Americans spend $11?billion on cosmetic surgery procedures annually. Of that, almost $3 billion is spent on minimally invasive procedures, including facial fillers and Botox.Although aesthetic surgery and office procedures are becoming more prevalent among men, 92 percent of all procedures in 2010 were completed on women.The Botox patient ended up making a full recovery, but not before she was given the sad news that she was in the early stages of myesthenia gravis, an autoimmune disease in which circulating antibodies attack neurotransmitters.It causes profound nerve weakness and makes swallowing, chewing and talking difficult.The Botox therapy had exacerbated her condition, allowing us to see the signs of the disease before nature would have shown them to us. Sadly, her facial wrinkles turned out to be the least of her concerns.

Murray taking tips from Lewis ahead of Australian Open
Andy Murray believes tennis is only 30 per cent physical and the rest psychological as he steps up his preparations for the Australian Open.
That has not stopped the US Open champion, who has twice reached the final in Melbourne, from adding another three pounds of muscle after doubling his weights sessions over the off-season.
The Scot, who met former world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis in December, believes there is little difference between the top players in terms of ability, but the crucial distinction is how they perform under pressure.
"I watched Lennox a lot when I was growing up, so it was cool to meet him," Murray told the Daily Telegraph. "I spoke to him for maybe 45 minutes, although I had to break off to go training in the middle.
"He is a legend and heavyweight boxing is the pinnacle of sport really, especially when he was fighting. So to get to pick his brains about certain things was nice.
"I asked a lot of questions about current boxers and how you train. He was saying boxing is 70 per cent mental, 30 per cent physical in the actual talent you need, and I think that applies to a lot of sports.
"The difference in how guys hit a ball is not that huge, but it's about how you deal with the pressure moments and who can hold their nerve. When you get towards the end of sets, some guys make more mistakes than others."
Rather than rest on his laurels after landing his first major in New York last September, the success has left Murray determined to add to his grand slam tally.
"It's taken a long time to get there and to win those sorts of events," Murray said. "I know the feeling when you do win them now, and it's worth all of the work that you put in.
"In the past, there were loads and loads of questions. I wasn't physically strong enough. I wasn't mentally strong enough. I didn't listen to my coaches. I was spoilt. Whatever it was, none of that really bothers me anymore. I'm just looking for ways to keep improving."

Many attendees usually honor a loved one who has died from cancer or currently battles the disease, Daniel Richards, event organizer and seventh-grade life science teacher at Davidson, said.
He his wife, Jennifer, had a scare when their son, Caleb, 6, was diagnosed with child kidney cancer at 4 months old.
"It just turned our worlds upside down," Richards said. "I just couldn't understand how a healthy little boy could be sick all of the sudden."
The couple took their son to a Pensacola specialist who removed Caleb's cancerous left kidney and administered 13 chemotherapy treatments.
More than 400 participants are expected Saturday; 350 people participated last year, organizers said.
Putting the event together usually costs $2,000, but since sponsors are covering the cost, all registration proceeds directly will benefit the society.
"With the help of the sponsors (namely the Crestview Publix and Main Street Medical Center), we are looking at the potential of writing a check of $7,000 to the American Cancer Society," Richards said.
He hopes that one day there will be no need to raise money, he said.
"Ultimately, I would want to not even have the race, or (we could) race for something else," Richards said. "I would love for there to be a cure for cancer and not need a cancer society."
"I know one day it's coming, but until then we have to keep fighting back."
Two fundraisers benefiting American Cancer Society Relay for Life teams are as follows:
�Davidson Dash Run for a Cure 5k, 10k and fun run events begin at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at Davidson Middle School. Register at http://bit.ly/10JXUSk.

text: Has Victoria Beckham finally arrived as a designer? Certainly sounds like it! The star visited The View on Friday, just in time to relive the glory of her Fashion Week. "It's been a real whirlwind. I'm in my fifth season and just showed my fifth collection during Fashion Week and it was a huge success, I mean the reviews were great," she said. "To be on the cover of WWD is such a big deal." And it's not all glitz and glamour, as Posh explained her working process. "It was me in my studio, with a meter and a half of parachute silk, draping it on myself and tying it in a knot and saying 'Ok what do I think?'…It really is a dream come true." In addition to her models, who Victoria insists be healthy and not too young, stars such as Demi Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow and Drew Barrymore support Victoria's sophisticated, sexy designs. But, Michelle Obama has yet to join the fan club. "I actually dressed Sarah Jessica Parker for an event at the White House so I'm getting there, I'm in the door!" she joked. And the reason that so many women are responding to her designs? "I want to celebrate a woman's curves, though you're right, I don't have that many myself," she says. "I love a woman's body and I want to make women look and feel fantastic." For more, visit abc.go.com –Jessie Goldberg

I have been a customer of Gallery Collection for at least 10 years. Their ordering process is seamless and effortless. The last time I ordered, I omitted my return address from the envelope, as we will be moving very shortly and I did not want to confuse my customers.

I have lost count as to how many years we have ordered from Gallery Collections. We are repeat business because of the quality of product, product options, quick delivery and consistent good service."
Great quality! Our logo in gold foil really popped and looked very elegant. A great impression for our best clients!"
This was my first time ordering for my company. We have placed several orders in the past; however, this was the first time that I was placing the orders so I was very nervous about being accurate. I was extremely satisfied with the friendliness of the customer service department. I had several small questions and the customer service agent answered each one as though each question was very important. Thank you for a great experience!"
Last year, I made a mistake. It was my fault. The cards were not like my boss wanted. She did not like the signature that I picked out. The Gallery Collection took them back with NO issues at all. In fact, they did it with a smile. I was so pleased I vowed to never go anyplace else."
At the Gallery Collection we have been in the business of serving customers for over 75 years! We have earned our reputation as a premium source of personalized greeting cards through our dedication to the art of card making and unparalleled customer service.

Sapphire PI-AM2RS780G Review
As we have seen lately, AMD has been releasing "Platforms" geared towards different types of users in the market. We have already seen the "Spider Platform" - a system comprised of one of AMD's quad-core Phenom processors, a 38xx series video card, and the 790FX chipset motherboard - which is aimed at the enthusiast and gaming market. So, what is Team Green planning for the mainstream market, you ask? Well, the CPU giant has been hard at work developing the "Cartwheel Platform", which is meant for more casual computer users - those who game a little bit, but primarily use their PC's for e-mail, Web surfing, and Office-type applications. The 780G motherboard-based Cartwheel can take advantage of a wide range of AMD's desktop CPU's - from single to quad-core - and is rounded out by the motherboard's integrated graphics processor (IGP), offering consumers a highly customizable system that can provide a very nice price to performance ratio.
Today, we'll have a look at the Sapphire PI-AM2RS780G mainboard, which is one of the latest motherboards based on the 780G chipset. AMD's 780G chipset is comprised of the 780G Northbridge and the newer SB700 Southbridge, and supports Socket AM2 and AM2+ processors - from a budget single-core Sempron all the way to a high performance quad-core Phenom. One of the more interesting features of the 780G chipset is that the IGP can be supplemented by adding a discrete 2400 or 3400 series graphics card, allowing the system to run in Hybrid CrossFire mode, which greatly boosts video performance. This is a great option for those who'd like a little extra kick but don't want to break the bank to get it.
Closer Look:
Sapphire has packaged the PI-AM2RS780G in a green and black colored box, which is a change from previous Sapphire mainboard packaging, and might be a signal that this RoHS-compliant board was designed with eco-friendliness in mind. The front of the box notes some of the mainboard's key specifications and features, while the rear provides a more in-depth explanation of those features.
Opening the box gives us a good glimpse of its contents; included with the Sapphire PI-AM2RS780G mainboard are one IDE cable, one SATA cable, the backplate, the manual, and a driver CD.
Now that we have everything out of the packaging, let's take a closer look at the hardware.

The issue: Greater Canton Amateur Sports Hall of Fame
In the eyes of the world, the Pro Football Hall of Fame makes Canton unique, and certainly Stark Countians think so, too.
But Rep writer Gary Brown's Friday installment of his "Postcard" feature series was a good reminder that excellence in amateur sports makes Canton unique, too.
How many towns of any size can boost a facility comparable to the Greater Canton Amateur Sports Hall of Fame that celebrates so many accomplishments of their native sons and daughters?
And now that the offices of the Canton Joint Recreation District are located in the same building at 1414 Market Ave. N as the Hall of Fame, it has been possible to make the facility accessible to visitors every weekday instead of just a couple of days a week.
"It's given us a rebirth," according to R.J. Van Almen, president of the hall's board of trustees.
You might think that the only visitors would be local folks with ancestors who excelled at bowling or softball or tennis or other sports — and certainly the hall will see more than the usual number of these people during the holidays. But even people with no local connections find their way to the hall, because they love sports in all of its forms or because they're looking for an unusual local attraction.
All of this adds up to the Greater Canton Amateur Sports Hall of Fame shedding what many of us see as a bittersweet distinction: best-kept local secret.

Action hero or pipsqueak?
In September 2010, LaBeouf starred as Jacob Moore in Oliver Stone's "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps." In the film, Michael Douglas returns as greedy exec Gordon Gekko, who, after a stretch behind bars, tries to reconnect with his daughter (Carey Mulligan) and becomes friendly with her fiance, played by LaBeouf. The film was a contemporary follow-up to the 1987 classic and solidly performed at the box office in its opening weeks, despite poor reviews. "Director Stone has said that La Beouf reminds him of a young Tom Cruise, but it is unlikely anyone else will see the resemblance," wrote Times film critic Kenneth Turan. "Though the film is at pains to paint his character as one tough hombre, complete with motorcycle-riding chops, Jake comes off more like a striving pipsqueak than a presence to be respected."

Q. How many Invitation sets should I order?
A. You should order 1 invitation per couple and or household. Sending invitations to someone you know that can't attend your invitation will make them feel included and part of the celebration. We suggest that you order an additional 25 on all items now to avoid costly re-orders. It is less expensive to buy extras now. Reorders are considered "new orders" and are priced as a new 25 piece order. This will allow for additional guests if necessary. You may also want to order extra envelopes in case of errors or returned invitations.
Q. How long does it take for an order to ship?
A. Orders generally ship within 2-3 Business days once your order is received and processed.
****Note orders with special work, such as artwork, Hebrew typesetting, layering, custom addressing, hand-lined envelopes and assembly will require additional time.
Q. How long does it take to get my proof?
A. Once your order is received and processed, you can expect to receive your proof in 2-3 business days. Reproofs requests before 3:00 EST will be sent by the end of the next business day. Your order will ship 2 days from proof approval.
****Note orders with special work, such as artwork, Hebrew typesetting, layering, custom addressing, hand-lined envelopes and assembly will require additional time.
Q. Why use a Save the Date card?
A. Give family and friends advance notice of your wedding plans so they can start planning to attend. If you are having out of town guests, they can make travel and accommodation arrangements.
Many Brides also include a wedding website they have created. This way, guests can view details of the journey to your wedding. How you met, proposal details, view photos etc. The wedding website can also be updated with additional details for your ceremony and reception. You can also include where you are registered for your Bridal Shower and wedding gifts.
Q. What is a Response set?
A. This is a card and envelope set that is preprinted with your address. Included in with your invitation and is mailed back to you and is an easy way to keep track of guests attending. Guests can choose menu options and even list dietary restraints. Be sure to include a stamp on the response envelope.
Q. What are Double Envelopes vs. Single Envelopes?
A. Traditionally, 2 envelopes are used on invitations; the inner envelope protects the invitation and ensures a nice way to keep the invitation clean once received. They are often available with lining colors to enhance the colors with your invitation. Single envelopes are more contemporary and are often available with a lining color to enhance your invitations. Each invitation will tell you if they have double or single envelopes – Unfortunately you are unable to choose between the single and double envelopes.
Q. Sample requests
A. You can order up to 3 samples so you can see, feel and touch your invitation to be sure it exactly what you are expecting.

These medicines contain the nicotinic acid form of niacin.
Immediate-release form
|Generic Name
Sustained-release form
|Generic Name
Extended-release form
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Nicotinic acid reduces the production of triglycerides and VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein, which is converted to LDL in the blood). This leads to decreased LDL ("bad") cholesterol, increased HDL ("good") cholesterol, and lowered triglycerides. Nicotinic acid raises HDL cholesterol more than other lipid-lowering medicines.
Nicotinic acid is especially useful in people who have low HDL levels and high triglyceride levels, because it raises HDL and lowers triglycerides. Niacin may not be appropriate for some people who have:
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
These side effects are more severe when higher doses are used.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Facial flushing and itching gradually diminish over time for most people. Starting with a low dose and gradually increasing the dose may reduce the flushing and itching. If you need to relieve flushing, talk with your doctor to find a method that works for you.
Talk to your doctor before you start taking over-the-counter (non-prescription) niacin. If you choose to take it, ask your doctor to help you know which medicine to buy and how much to take.
Nicotinic acid is a B vitamin that is available without a prescription as a vitamin supplement (niacin). The nicotinic acid form of niacin lowers cholesterol, but other forms of niacin do not. These other forms that do not lower cholesterol include nicotinamide and inositol nicotinate (also called no-flush niacin).
Ask your doctor how much niacin you should take. You want to take a dose that will work. But you do not want to take more niacin than you need. Larger doses of niacin can be dangerous, because they can damage your liver.
Be active and eat a cholesterol-lowering diet in addition to taking this medicine. Ask your doctor for advice on a diet that can help lower cholesterol. An example is the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet. For more information, see:
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or trying to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
If you take niacin as a prescription or over-the-counter medicine, your doctor will likely have you get regular blood tests to check for liver problems.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.
