On the side of all my unpredictable, unstable, and inconsistent creative work that I do, I work part-time in retail, selling luxury goods. I am the newest addition to our sales team. Out of everyone there, I probably make the most mistakes.
For a lot of my co-workers, their job is their life. For them, there are no other options. Many of them carry out their job in a very aggressive manner. I, on the other hand, am so relaxed as I work and it really is apparent. I work there because I enjoy it. If this part-time job does not work out, I know I can just move onto another one that I enjoy.
Few weeks ago, our store had our annual holiday party. Everyone was in a good mood and looking beautiful in their fancy clothes. But as the night progressed and more alcohol was being consumed, some of my co-workers loosened up a bit too much. One of them felt it was the opportune time to say to me, "Daniel, you are a real fuck up to the team!… You just don't care enough… If you even dare to tell our manager about this conversation, I'm gonna kill you…"
Of course it hurt to hear all of this, especially when I have only had good intentions for others at my workplace. I felt misunderstood. My emotional sensitivity also intensified the hurt that I was feeling.
The old-me would have resorted to the use of my psychological strategies to escape my present difficult emotions. Having learned from my past the ineffectiveness of this response, I did something drastically different. I allowed myself to just feel the pain without judging whether the feeling was "good" or "bad," whether my co-worker's behaviour was "good" or "bad," or whether my co-worker was a "good" or "bad" person. I resisted my impulse to investigate why such words were spoken and what had to be done to "fix" the problem. I lived in the present moment, even though that moment was not so pleasant. I also meditated on positive truths about who I am as a person. By doing all of this, I was able to keep myself calm and allow my difficult emotions to fully make its way in and out of my system while centering my identity. After giving myself all the time that I needed to grieve over the experience, I forgave her. In no time, I was feeling much better.
Then came the time to think about what to do next. The old-me would have immediately, without hesitation, confronted my co-worker. I have so much confidence in my communication skills and my mind's ability to rapidly organize the thoughts and ideas in my head that there are not too many types of people, social situations, or sensitive topics that I feel threatened by when words must be used. In the past, I would tactfully expose the crimes of my wrongdoers and draw out their emotions of guilt to get them to stop doing the things that bother me. This practice worked out for me very nicely for many years.
For the first time, however, I realized that this kind of confrontation was actually my mechanism of control. Underneath it all, I simply feared getting hurt again. Rather than going back to my old ways, I took a chance and resisted this form of control. I kept my heart and mind open to be inspired with a better course of action. In prayer, I asked my God that I believe in, "I am pretty sure my way will achieve the outcome that I want, but is there something else You would rather have me do instead?"
Shortly after, I had a "vision" of my co-worker's life growing up (religious or not, "psychic"-like experiences are not so abnormal in the lives of a lot of highly sensitive people). I saw (with my spiritual eyes, of course) her growing up, making mistakes, and people being very hard on her. I saw a whole string of hurtful words being spoken onto her and crushing her. I saw her desperately trying to build her self-worth through perfectionism. Her lack of grace on others when they made mistakes stemmed from the lack of grace she received growing up. I sensed the many areas of brokenness within her and just knew what she needed to hear for emotional healing to take place.
On my next day at work, I wrote her a Christmas card that included a Starbucks gift card. I wrote something along these lines (the original was much longer, of course – I just don't remember all the things that I wrote, word for word):
"I didn't know the extent of all the frustration and damage you experienced as a result of all my mistakes. I'm sorry. I did not mean to make you feel that I did not care. The truth is, I do care about you and appreciate you as a person very much. You are an amazing, delightful, beautiful woman with a good heart… [specific examples…] I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. ~ Daniel"
After reading my card, she came to me, thanked me, and gave me a big hug.
I am not sharing all of this to boast to the rest of the world "Hey, look at me, I'm such a saint!" No. I share all of this to inspire others to try it out when people behave in nasty, hurtful ways.
One of the questions I get asked very frequently from my blog readers is, "Hey, I'm pretty sure my husband/wife has OCPD and it's driving me insane. How should I break the news to him/her?" This entire blogpost is my answer: I do not think that it is so necessary to "break the news" to anyone. Rather than pointing out people's faults, weaknesses, and crimes, I think it is much better to love one another and see people's attacks as clues to their inner brokenness.

SALT LAKE CITY — An environmental activist is asking a federal appeals court to overturn his two-year prison sentence for disrupting an auction of drilling parcels on public lands near Utah's national parks.
Defense lawyers argue that Tim DeChristopher was wrongly convicted at a federal trial in Salt Lake City last summer. They say DeChristopher lacked criminal intent and was acting in civil disobedience to disrupt an auction of wilderness lands he believed was illegal. The judge refused to allow the former college student to offer that testimony.
Arguments are set for Thursday before the 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Denver.
DeChristopher acted in bad faith and his conviction should stand, prosecutors said in papers filed with the appeals court in January.
He signed a bid form acknowledging liability for any failure to pay, and when his bidding raised suspicions, he told an agent for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management that he had no money but was trying to drive up prices for oilmen, the government asserts.
"DeChristopher never provided any evidence that the auction itself was invalid in any way," the U.S. Attorney's Office in Salt Lake City argued in in a 52-page brief. He ended up winning 14 drilling parcels for nearly $1.8 million.
His lawyers say he was singled out for prosecution because of his honesty, and that the government never took action against bidders at other auctions who failed to pay or bounced checks for their parcels.
He is nearly halfway through his sentence at a remote federal prison in northern California and won't be released for Thursday's hearing, said Pat Shea, one of his lawyers and director of the Bureau of Land Management for two years during the Clinton administration.
DeChristopher told his lawyer recently that he will be transferred May 19 to a federal prison in Littleton, Colo., a request he made at sentencing to be closer to his parents and a sister. The government isn't explaining why it reversed course, Shea said.
"The Lord and the Bureau of Prisons work in mysterious ways," he said.
DeChristopher is considered a folk hero in the environmental community for sabotaging the auction and accepting the consequences. He says he plans to continue a life of social activism after prison as a minister. Shea and other supporters are encouraging the economics major to study for a graduate exam and apply for Harvard Divinity School in 2013.
His lawyers argue DeChristopher stepped inside the auction with no specific plan to disrupt the bidding after being offered a bidder's paddle by an auction official.
The defense team cited U.S. District Court Judge Dee Benson's statements at sentencing to assert DeChristopher was wrongly prosecuted for political reasons.
Benson said, "If this hadn't been a continuing trail of statements by Mr. DeChristopher about his advocacy, as he calls it civil disobedience, and that he will continue to fight, and 'I am prepared to go to prison,' then others are going to have to be prepared to go with me, that causes me to feel under the sentencing laws before me that a term of imprisonment is required."
The two-year sentence was a year longer that the defense team expected, Shea said.

TWR has been engaged in the ministry of spreading the message of Christ for over three decades. Nevertheless, the percentage of believers in this diverse land remains paltry which makes the task ahead of us herculean. What can we do to improve our methods of disseminating God's Word? How can we reach all sections of the society, youth in particular?
More than 50% of our country's burgeoning population is below the age of 25, they comprise a vital category that we cannot afford to put on the back-burner. Youth being an essential member of the body of Christ, need to participate; or else the body will suffer. Given that it is easier for youth to find other endeavors to pursue apart from the Church; and with Christian parents seeming more than willing to help, the matter needs urgent address. And for Youth Ministry to be effective, youth should actively participate in it.
Significantly, the world has changed so much and there is no going back. We need to think ahead and change with the times and stay in step with the youth of today to understand and relate to them so that we can cater to their needs. Today, young adults are not satisfied with what they have; they are bored with monotony; they seek new ideas, creative options and challenges every day. They think and act differently and to stay on par with them, we need to think of 'out of the box' ideas; fresh and novel ways of working; as well as renew our enthusiasm and commitment to the ministry. We need to think of ways by which we not only attract youth but also provide compelling answers to their many questions to influence and involve them more effectively.
For youth to play a key role in ministry, the church should lay increased focus on youth groups which while providing a spiritual environment for growth should serve as a training ground for service in ministry. It should be a place where they make godly friendships. Many a time, the Church is reluctant to encourage and involve the youth as they feel that such a group cannot be adequately handled by them. The Church is unable to provide them with answers to their never ending questions and doubts and this in-turn gives them a reason to go after philosophies and religions and end up in Godless conclusions.
For us at TWR-I, whether it is by using new forms of media or changing the format of presenting God's Word and revealing how it is relevant to the present, it may require of us to make drastic changes to reach out to the youth of today and keep up with them in this fast paced, ever changing world.
As we renew our commitment to make disciples of all people, we seek God's guidance and wisdom from above.

Moran (1885-1945) was born at Darlington Sydney was the second son of Irish-born baker, Michael Moran and his Australian-born wife Annie nee Quain. He attended Darlington Public School, St Aloysius' College Surry Hills and briefly, St Joseph's College Hunters Hill before moving on to attend the University of Sydney.[3] He played Rugby for a Rose Bay club and the university before representing New South Wales against Queensland in 1906.[4] The following year Moran was resident medical officer at the Royal Newcastle Hospital. In 1908, he captained the first Wallabies tour of Britain from which that first Rugby Olympic team had been selected.[5] It has been said that Moran helped to shape future Rugby captains.
Plagued by injury, Moran played in an unsuccessful Test against Wales and at the completion of the series, took his F.R.C.S. in Edinburgh and worked in hospitals in London and Dublin. Returning to Sydney, Moran practised at Balmain and later in Macquarie Street. He married Eva Mann at St Mary's Cathedral in April 1914 before returning to Britain in 1915 to join the Royal Army Medical Corps.
Eva was one of several children born to James E Mann and wife Flora nee Farrall. The Mann family arrived in Springwood c1891 and initially leased a property at Faulconbridge. It is evident that the family followed the Catholic faith because in 1892 Mrs Mann, a church member, very kindly placed her carriage at the disposal of the Roman Catholic Church so that dignitaries could tour the district. The family reappear in June 1894 when Silva Plana became their home for the winter. However they left the area in August of the same year to take up residence at their new estate at Mt Wilson. The Mann family subsequently owned both Denarque and Yengo. Silva Plana reserve at Mount Wilson was so named in fond memory of the Springwood residence and donated by Esmey Mann, Eva's sister.[6]
Moran, already a captain in the Australian Medical Corps, served as a lieutenant at number 23 Stationary Hospital, Indian Expeditionary Force in Mesopotamia before returning to Sydney in 1916 then worked as an honorary surgeon at St Vincent's Hospital.[7] G.P. Walsh, in The Australian Dictionary of Biography, stated that Moran had a notable surgical career specialising in cancer research and the use of 'gamma irradiation through the medium of metallic radium.'[8] Leading the field in the new technique, Moran travelled widely, published journal articles on the subject and studied and lectured in most parts of the world.[9] For example, in 1927 he spent almost a year at the cancer research centre in Paris. Moran used this accumulated knowledge at the Royal Price Alfred, Lewisham and Royal North Shore and Prince Henry Hospitals when he was honorary consultant and honorary radium therapist in the 1930s. Highly respected in his field, Moran was a fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine London, the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and St John's College at the University of Sydney.[10]
In 1924 Moran purchased lots 4, 5, 6, and 7 from the Springwood Brick and Tile Company. The property, although now reduced in size, formed the corner section along Hawkesbury Road and what then was known as Charles Street (now Silva Road). The property was originally part of John Frazer's Silva Plana Estate, which was subdivided c1920–2. During that same year, Dr Moran set about building the cottage 'Santa Chiara,' which has been located there ever since. [11]
It is thought that Moran's fascination with all things Italian is likely to have influenced the naming of his cottage in Springwood as Santa Chiara was an ancient citadel located in Naples.[12] He spoke Italian, French and German and was a life member and president of the Dante Alighieri Art and Literary Society Sydney and deputy president of the Modern Language Association.[13] Founded in Rome in 1889 by Nobel Prize winning poet Giosuè Carducci, the Dante Alighieri Society today still promotes the appreciation and understanding of Italian language and culture worldwide. The Sydney Society is one of 450 operating internationally, and encompasses one of the most prestigious Italian language schools in the country.[14] Moran was also responsible for initiating Italian studies at the University of Sydney.
In 1931 he was awarded the Paul Poselli Medal for Italian literature. Moran wrote several medical books, but his autobiography, Viewless Winds: Being the Reflections and Digressions of an Australian Surgeon, written in 1939, is regarded as his finest work. Other works include Letters from Rome: An Australian's View of the Italio-Abyssinian Question (1936), Viewless Winds (London 1939), Beyond the Hill Lies China (Sydney 1945), My Fashion (London 1946). Walsh suggested that Moran's books display considerable literary talent.[15]
Although his politics are unknown, in 1932 Moran interviewed Signor Mussolini. Moran, somewhat impressed by the leader, was to alter that opinion later. Moran received the honour of Knight Commander of the Order of the Crown of Italy and the Chevalier of St Maurice and St Lazarus.
Moran retired from medical practise in 1935 and a rift in his marriage may have caused him to revisit Italy. Santa Chiara was let and in 1936 a caretaker was put in charge by the Perpetual Trustee Company who administered the property while Moran was overseas. Later he went to England to lobby political leaders in an attempt to mend the breakdown of Anglo-Italian relations but without success. Although Moran offered his services to the Italian government at the outbreak of the war in Abyssinia, for the greater part of the Second World War, he was President of the military boards at Colchester military hospital. He earned the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Royal Australian Military Corps.
Fortunately Moran reconciled with his wife before he died at Cambridge, England in 1945. He never returned to his mountain home. Ironically, the cause was a malignant melanoma. Wife Eva and son Professor Patrick Moran survived, and the family remained owners of the property in Springwood until at least 1946. At that time Miss Ada F. Moran of Coogee retained lots 4 and 5.

Changing My Mind on Treatment as Prevention
April 12, 2013
This article first appeared on PositiveLite.com, Canada's Online HIV Magazine.
One hundred and eighty degree turns happen in a variety of ways. Sometimes we seize the steering wheel of our lives and in one fell swoop travel along an opposite path. Other times, we take the turn slowly, one degree at a time, gradually realizing the path we are on leads nowhere and we need to go off in radically new directions. That's been the case with my realizing that most of my once fervently held objections to treatment as prevention, in 2013, make much less sense than they once did.
Why? In the last decade, our knowledge of disease progression has changed as has how much we know about the impact of antiretroviral treatment (ART) on our ability to transmit the virus. But treatments have changed too, and so has my own willingness to look at both sides of the argument, to weigh them against each other and to make informed choices which recognize, above all, a shifting environment.
As well, the realist in me tells me that when it comes to HIV prevention, the status quo isn't working. I respect those who work in the prevention community. But, to be blunt, those who continue to play with the same old tricks -- plugging condom use when we know the limits to their efficacy in real life situations, trying to effect behavioral change with the odd stray missile thrown at the social determinants of health -- are playing in the wrong sandbox. Let's not fool ourselves. None of these things will stop the epidemic. We need new tools.
Enter my new friend, treatment as prevention.
Accepting it as a valid, in fact necessary, tool hasn't been a slam dunk. My early introduction to it left me decidedly unimpressed. At the Canadian AIDS Society (CAS) eight years ago I echoed the concerns of the Quebec caucus who first brought the issue of treatment as prevention to the floor, concerned at the notion of people being put on treatment without informed consent and with no demonstrable benefit to their health. If memory serves me I moved a motion that was approved at a CAS annual general meeting condemning treatment as prevention -- and in fact was instrumental in drafting a highly critical position paper when I was subsequently elected to the CAS board.
Fast forward a few years. I was still a treatment as prevention doubter in January 2012 when, through my work for PositiveLite.com, I nervously picked up the phone to talk with Dr. Julio Montaner, the distinguished former head of the International AIDS Society, now heading the British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS. Montaner is of course a leading expert on, and advocate for, treatment as prevention. His arguments, though, have not persuaded all in the HIV/AIDS movement, notably many people living with HIV/AIDS.
Going in to that long conversation with Montaner, which you can read in two parts here and here, I had real reservations as to whether treatment as prevention was ethical or even good for people living with HIV, yet alone effective. I'll get to how I've processed those issues since, but let me first say a few words about Montaner.
As I said in my interview, he's a passionate man. One to one, he speaks with excitement born of frustration. But the thing that impressed me most was how so much of our conversation was rooted in his obvious burning sense of justice, of civil rights, of the conviction he has of what is the right thing to do. Far from down treading on patients' rights, for instance, he was vocal and insistent about the need for informed consent and hugely concerned about disparities in access to treatment and care.
He's also very persuasive, both in his manner and in his arguments. More of that later.
In any event, I wanted to look at the commonly used arguments against treatment as prevention, ones which I once upheld, and share why there has been a shift in my appraisal of them since those early days at CAS. Beginning with ...
1. Let's not start treatment earlier than we absolutely have to ...
There is an oft expressed concern, or was, that HIV treatments are toxic. If this is true, why expose the body to HIV meds longer than necessary? Montaner makes the point that while not perfect, treatments have improved considerably. More important, he suggests most everybody will need to start treatment sooner or later; delaying a few years until the immune system is showing signs of collapse results in a only a few year's respite from meds out of what will almost certainly be many decades of treatment. Blunt words, but I found that argument quite persuasive.
2. There is no demonstrable benefit to the patient to starting treatment early.
There was always the belief, now the certainty since HPTN052 (CATIE dubbed it "the trial that changed everything"), that antiretrovirals could have a marked impact in reducing one's ability to transmit the virus. Experts now believe that benefit can, in the right circumstances, be as effective as condom use. That's powerful. But whether there are any other benefits has been a thorny subject. The evidence now seems to firmly suggest there are. The negative impact of inflammation for instance, even when CD4 counts are holding strong, has been well documented. As CATIE's James Wilton said to me in a recent interview:
The bottom line? Others may, but I'm not prepared to ignore the evidence that, simply put, starting treatment early really is better for us.
3. But what about side effects if I have to start treatment now?
When I started advocating against treatment as prevention at CAS, going on treatment was full of problems for many. It's way less problematic now. In fact many who've started on one-pill-a-day treatments such as Atripla, a particularly well-tolerated medication, will answer "what side effects?" But the fact is, if you are going to experience them (and I hope you won't), that's not likely to change whether you start treatment now or later.
4. But what about long-term side effects? Those treatments may look safe now, but side effects can often emerge over the longer term. Why encounter that prospect earlier than you might need to?
This is a variation on 1. above and for many years, I felt it to be a very persuasive argument. After all, I suffer from both lipodystrophy and peripheral neuropathy, the latter very badly, consequences of talking medications whose latent side effects came as a surprise to all. So yes, I know side effects can happen downstream. But this argument is not so much an argument against treatment as prevention as treatment in general. So while I don't discount this argument entirely, I've learned to put my faith in the fact that modern-day meds are better than those that have caused myself and others grief in the past. And, you know, sometimes, as throughout the history of HIV treatment, we just have to take a chance, recognizing that few things in life are certain.
5. People are going to be given treatment against their will because someone decides it's best for them.
First of all, suggesting treatment be offered for a condition not long after diagnosis is hardly exclusive to HIV -- think cancer -- and there are always dangers inherent in this process. Informed consent is the issue as is the opportunity for coercion. It's tricky to ensure informed consent happens always, but certainly not insurmountable -- and that's where we can and must do the work. CATIE's James Wilton says:

WASHINGTON (Circa) – Actor R. Lee Ermey has passed away at the age of 74 after battling pneumonia. His manager Bill Rogin made the announcement on the actor's Facebook and Twitter pages.
It is with deep sadness that I regret to inform you all that R. Lee Ermey ("The Gunny") passed away this morning from complications of pneumonia. He will be greatly missed by all of us. It is a terrible loss that nobody was prepared for. He has meant so much to so many people. And, it is extremely difficult to truly quantify all of the great things this man has selflessly done for, and on behalf of, our many men and women in uniform. He has also contributed many iconic and indelible characters on film that will live on forever. Gunnery Sergeant Hartman of Full Metal Jacket fame was a hard and principled man. The real R. Lee Ermey was a family man, and a kind and gentle soul. He was generous to everyone around him. And, he especially cared deeply for others in need.
There is a quote made famous in Full Metal Jacket. It's actually the Riflemen's Creed. "This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine."
There are many Gunny's, but this one was OURS. And, we will honor his memory with hope and kindness. Please support your men and women in uniform. That's what he wanted most of all.
Semper Fi, Gunny. Godspeed.
The Kansas native was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for his memorable performance in "Full Metal Jacket," immortalizing lines like "What is your major malfunction?" He also voiced the little green army man Sarge in the "Toy Story" films and played a helicopter pilot in "Apocalypse Now," among many other roles.
Rogin says that while his characters were often hard and principled, the real Ermey was a family man and a kind and gentle soul who supported the men and women who serve.
Ermey, who was well known for his acting roles as characters in the U.S. military, served in the United States Marine Corps for 11 years. The actor rose to Staff Sargeant and was given honorary rank by the Marine Corps as Gunnery Sergeant, according to IMDb.
"The Gunny" served in Vietnam and Japan, committing to 14 months during the Vietnam War. Most recently, he was a voice actor in the videogame "Disney Magic Kingdown" in 2016 as well as "The Simpsons" in 2015. IMDb says he has over 120 credits as an actor of some capacity.
The Hollywood Reporter says Ermey took acting classes in order to learn his craft. After taking the courses, he starred as a pilot in the 1979 movie "Apocalypse Now" before landing the 1987 well-known movie "Full Metal Jacket." He was originally brought on to advise the eventual actor on the movie but was given the role himself because of his performance.
"I'd say fifty percent of Lee's dialogue, specifically the insult stuff, came from Lee. You see, in the course of hiring the marine recruits, we interviewed hundreds of guys," director Stanley Kubrick said in a 1987 interview with Rolling Stone. "We lined them all up and did an improvisation of the first meeting with the drill instructor. They didn't know what he was going to say, and we could see how they reacted. Lee came up with, I don't know, 150 pages of insults."

One of the nice things about unit tests is that they help to develop higher quality code. A precondition for an efficient test first programming approach is good integration of the test framework into the development environment.
I am showing here how to integrate our test framework with Eclipse. If you don't use Eclipse then please feel free to add similar configurations for other CASE tools.
I have the following development environment:
- Eclipse Galileo with PDT 2.0
- PHPUnit 3.4
If you have not yet installed your PHPUnit test environment, then do so first. See our Unit Tests documentation for a step-by-step explanation.
Build Environment
First make sure that your project has the correct include and build path. Right click on your project in the navigator and select "Properties". Then navigate to the "PHP Include Path" preference page. Click on the "Libraries" tab, then click "Add Library...":
Click on the "Next" button:
Click on the "Config" button:
In the preferences window click on the "New..." button:
Enter the library name "PEAR" and add it to the environment.
After returning to the preferences page click the "Add external folder..." button:
Find your PEAR folder (usually you find it in your PHP directory):
NB: On Debian derivatives you probably have to add the php folder (e.g. /usr/share/php) rather than the PEAR folder as most PEAR packages (including PHPUnit) are directly installed into /usr/share/php.
Return to the preferences page and click "Ok":
Finish the addition of the library
Once you returned to the project properties, please make sure that you've your project source in the include path:
Then switch to the build path configuration and make sure your project appears there as well:
Congratulations! You've successfully configured your build path.
Configure PHPUnit as Run/Debug Configuration
NB: This documentation has been updated for Eclipse Helios. If you have an older Eclipse version then your screens may look different.
We'll configure PHPUnit as a "Run/Debug Configuration" for quick and easy test execution from within Eclipse.
First select "Run Configurations..." from the "Run" menu:
Go to the "PHP Script" tab and enter your configuration similar to the one shown in the following screenshots. Make sure you've got the correct paths for your environment:
You may have to configure a PHP executable:
Returning to the "Run Configurations" Wizard you can now configure the "PHP Script Arguments" arguments as so:
Once you've done that, go to the "Environment" tab and add an environment variable as shown below:
Replace the variable value to "env1".
Click "Apply" and "Close" and that's it.
You will need to setup two run configurations to be able to run all tests. The second one can be duplicated from the first one and you should only change the environment tab variable value from "env1" to "env2".
Configure XDebug Debugger to work with PHPUnit
If you have XDebug installed then you can also use the debugger with your tests. This comes in handy if you discover an error in your class while testing. I usually use the debugger more while unit testing than in an integrated environment. If you do good unit testing, integration bugs will appear a lot less frequently than before anyway.
The steps described above for adding a "Run Configuration" automatically also added a corresponding "Debug Configuration". If everything is set up correctly then you'll immediately be able to use XDebug to step through your tests.
Once you've accomplished the configuration steps on this page you may want to return to the Unit Tests page to write and execute your first test.

About Pacira
About EXPAREL®
EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) is currently indicated for single-dose infiltration into the surgical site to produce postsurgical analgesia. The product combines bupivacaine with DepoFoam®, a proven product delivery technology that delivers medication over a desired time period. EXPAREL represents the first and only multivesicular liposome local anesthetic that can be utilized in the peri- or postsurgical setting. By utilizing the DepoFoam platform, a single dose of EXPAREL delivers bupivacaine over time, providing significant reductions in cumulative pain score with up to a 45 percent decrease in opioid consumption; the clinical benefit of the opioid reduction was not demonstrated. Additional information is available at www.EXPAREL.com.
Important Safety Information
EXPAREL is contraindicated in obstetrical paracervical block anesthesia. EXPAREL has not been studied for use in patients younger than 18 years of age. Non-bupivacaine-based local anesthetics, including lidocaine, may cause an immediate release of bupivacaine from EXPAREL if administered together locally. The administration of EXPAREL may follow the administration of lidocaine after a delay of 20 minutes or more. Other formulations of bupivacaine should not be administered within 96 hours following administration of EXPAREL. Monitoring of cardiovascular and neurological status, as well as vital signs should be performed during and after injection of EXPAREL as with other local anesthetic products. Because amide-type local anesthetics, such as bupivacaine, are metabolized by the liver, EXPAREL should be used cautiously in patients with hepatic disease. Patients with severe hepatic disease, because of their inability to metabolize local anesthetics normally, are at a greater risk of developing toxic plasma concentrations. In clinical trials, the most common adverse reactions (incidence greater-than or equal to 10%) following EXPAREL administration were nausea, constipation, and vomiting.

Our FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page details the most popular comments and questions from our customers, you can view the page in full here, or view a summary of the most asked ones below.
Are Your Tables Real Marble?
By real marble we assume you mean 'Natural Marble'.
At Thomas Brown Furnishings our marble furniture products are made from 'Engineered Marble' which is a composite material that replicates all of the beauty and cosmetic benefits of natural marble, but retains all of the key strengths required for furniture in home environments.
Natural marble can be prone to cracking and colour fading, our engineered marble products use the latest composite materials and resins to reproduce the weight, look and feel of natural marble, whilst avoiding any of the disadvantages of natural marble.
In the same way that the majority of stone, granite and marble kitchen worktops are now made from engineered composites, our range of engineered marble products is designed for practical everyday living, resisting cracking, fading and everyday living.
Do You Install The Dining Sets?
Yes all of our dining sets and dining tables come with free 'White Glove Delivery' meaning that we install, assemble and remove all of the packing giving you a clean 'Showroom Style' finish.
Do You Have a Brochure?
We are currently in the process of producing a brochure. However all of our products are featured online and if you require a 'Close Up' image, just contact us online to request the image of your choice from our design studio.
Do You Deliver At Weekends?
No, unless by special arrangement, we do not deliver at weekends.
Engineered Marble – How It's Made
At Thomas Brown Furnishings we leave nothing to chance with our Engineered Marble Products, ensuring that they are more durable than any other alternative marble furniture manufacturer, whilst at the same time keeping all the appeal and beauty of a natural marble finish.
Here's a quick run through of how our Engineered Marble Furniture Products are made.
1. Pattern & Pigmentation Layer
Using pattern and pigmentation technologies created for the Kitchen worktop industry, we use the latest polymers and resins to create natural marble colours and patterns that are indistinguishable from the real thing.
2. Crack Resistant Core
Our crack resistant core ensures that your marble furniture is resistant to cracking and high impacts. Unlikely you may think? But our experience has shown that alternative manufacturers who do not employ a crack resistant core and cast the table top in one single piece often experience critical failures within the table top.
These can be caused by invisible and internal cracks that develop within the marble top due to impacts received during transportation and installation. Often these cracks can only be detected under X-Ray scanning, and then only reveal themselves when the table is outside of it's warranty. Our crack resistant core ensures that this problem doesn't happen, leaving you to enjoy your marble furniture product, hassle free for many years to come.
3. Rigid Fixing System
Many alternative marble furniture product manufacturers do not directly fix the marble top to the base, instead they rely on the fact that the weight of the top will hold it securely in place. At Thomas Brown Furnishings, our marble table tops are fixed directly to the base via a fixing plate and by four secure rigid fixings (Which can undone by the customer). This means that the top is securely fixed to the base.
This prohibits any slight movement between the table top and the base, thus preventing the development of cracks and stops "tip over" which can sometimes happen with alternative tables. "Tip over" can occur when a person stands on one end of the table (For instance to change a light bulb) and a sea-saw effect happens, tipping the table top from it's base, causing personal injury and product damage.
4. Durable Weight Saving Base
Our attention to detail even applies to our base designs, with weight saving being a major priority. Our best selling Tenore and Mocha marble collections have a classic "V" shaped base design to ensure maximum style for minimum weight.
Weight is an important consideration with regards to the selection of your marble furniture. Although all of our marble dining tables and sets are fully installed by our expert delivery team, there may be a point in the future at which you wish to change your room layout or indeed move house.
At Thomas Brown Furnishings we take this issue seriously, that's why we reduce our product weights by effective and practical design techniques, meaning that your table can be moved in the future in a two person operation, simple and easy!

Fully Built & Hand Crafted Furniture
All furniture products from Thomas Brown Furnishings come fully built.
This means that our products are not flat-pack, and come fully assembled. Ensuring quality and durability at all times. In certain cases some furniture product such as tables will be supplied with legs removed (For safe transportation) and wardrobes are often supplied in modular sections in order that they can be safely located within the room of your choice.
Our dining set ranges are provided on a 'White Glove' delivery service, meaning that we assemble and build the set within the room of your choice, and remove and dispose of all packaging.
When comparing furniture prices online it's worth noting how other furniture products are supplied, flat-pack or self build furniture can often be time consuming to construct, and faults can develop in the assembly process.
Often it's cheaper to buy, but are you really saving in the long run?
In our opinion flat-pack furniture is a false economy, that's why all Thomas Brown products are fully built, quality pieces, and our online research shows that in 96% of cases we are cheaper than any other supplier (Because you are buying from the manufacturer direct).

Best Ranking Performance Quarter-finals - China Open 1999, UK Championship 2009
Money list earnings 2012/13 + 2013/14: £50,220
Highest Tournament Break 141 - World Championship 1998
Lines gathered enough wins during the 2013/14 season to keep his place on the main tour, finishing 61st in the world rankings.
He reached the last 16 of the Wuxi Classic, winning three matches before losing to Matthew Stevens, and the same stage of the Shanghai Masters, recording four victories before being knocked out by Xiao Guodong.
Lines had previously stated that his biggest remaining ambition was to play on the main tour at the same time as his son Oliver, and his wish was granted as Lines jnr booked his place on the circuit for 2014/15. They are the first father and son duo on the tour since Geoff and Neal Foulds.
Lines enjoyed a phenomenal run at the 2009 UK Championship, matching the best performance of his career by reaching the quarter-finals.
He had to win three matches just to get to the venue, beating Xiao Guodong, Ian McCulloch and Nigel Bond. Lines then hammered Marco Fu 9-3 in Telford before scoring the best win of his career with a 9-8 victory over twice World Champion Mark Williams.
"I'm delighted, over the moon," said Lines. "I've been playing here like I do in the qualifiers. I was nervous at the start today but once I had a frame on the board I settled down. I've struggled over the years against the lower ranked players, but when you play the top boys you have nothing to lose."
That was the end of his run, however, as he lost 9-5 to Stephen Maguire.
Lines' career was turned around by coach Steve Prest, who rescued him from the secondary circuit and helped him finish second in the 2007/08 Pontin's International Open Series rankings. Sadly, Prest died in 2009.
"It's devastating," said Lines. "We turned pro at the same time and we'd been mates for 23 years. I can't put into words how much of a loss it is. He started coaching me when I was on the PIOS a couple of years ago. I was contemplating giving up snooker but he turned my game around and I got back on to the pro Tour."
Lines reached his first ranking quarter-final at the 1999 China Open in Shanghai. He beat John Higgins 5-1 in the first round proper and Peter Ebdon 5-4 in round two before going out to Brian Morgan.
Lines reached the Crucible stage of the World Championship for the first time in 1998, losing 10-3 to John Parrott in the first round.

Am I an activist? People keep asking me this question. And so I ask, what is an activist?
It seems to me that an activist has two lives; an internal life full of self inquiry, study of the world and reformation of process; and an external life in which the internal life is given to action, to form and purpose.
I have a very active internal life. It comes naturally to me; my upbringing cultivated a natural curiosity resident in my very core. It lead me to choose philosophy and biology in college, two fields where questioning reigns supreme. I am not naturally a shy person, but it is fair to say that I am more comfortable in an observer's role. I enjoy watching the world (internal and external) unfold around me. I enjoy the paradoxes, the interconnection, the self-similarity in nature, myself and my fellow beings. And I am quite observant.
I am not, however, a natural shit stirrer. Maybe that's because I was raised by two of them and I have observed what happens to shit stirrers—they often get left holding the shitty end of the stick. So, I prefer the role of bridge builder, diplomat, mediator, moving behind the scenes and then watching the play unfold.
Can one be both a behind the scenes person and an activist? At first blush I would say no. An activist has to be willing to be outspoken, to fly in the face of the oppressor, to rage against the machine, to create big waves loudly in order to organizes and motivate, to be a shit stirrer. And I am not that person. But, in sitting with this question I have really tried to look at the essential nature of activists. There are two essential elements to every activist I have ever known, or read about. First, an acceptance of change as consistent and seen as an opportunity, something to be embraced not repelled. Two, a deep, undying love for humanity. Other than that, there are as many ways to be an activist as there are being on this marble.
So, am I can activist? Yes. Hell yes! And do you know what? So are you. For you would not be reading this if you did not think change was possible, likely, even necessary, and if you didn't care deeply about your fellow beings. So what are you waiting for? Permission? Give it to yourself. Go do something, make something happen. How? What? When? Those are really6 great questions and a great place to start your self-inquiry. Me? I am doing this: www.summainstitute.org and if you are ever in Portland, Oregon, come sit with me and we can swap shitty stick stories and celebrate our unique activist expressions!

George Zimmerman Wants to Fight Kanye West in a Celebrity Boxing Match
Trayvon Martin's killer George Zimmerman recently announced that he's ready to fight anyone in a celebrity boxing match. And the opponent he would like to duke it out with is none other than Kanye West.
Although Game has agreed to beat the f--- out of him and DMX would like to urinate on him, Zimmerman's promoters are hoping that Yeezy and Zimmerman would face off in the ring.
According to TMZ, the Florida native wants to fight the 'Yeezus' rapper because he attacked an 18-year-old kid.
Celebrity boxing promoter Damon Feldman said that if West agrees to fight Zimmerman they would move the boxing match to Los Angeles. All proceeds from the event will go to a charity and not into Zimmerman's pockets.
Whomever Zimmerman does fight, the fight is scheduled to take place on March 1.
Would you pay to see George Zimmerman fight Kanye West? Tell us in the comments below.

3 killed in Illinois medical helicopter crash
ROCKFORD, Ill. – Authorities say a medical helicopter has crashed in northern Illinois, killing all three people on board.
The Federal Aviation Administration reports the helicopter crashed Monday night while traveling from Rockford, near the Wisconsin border, to a hospital about 60 miles south in Mendota.
The helicopter was registered to Rockford Memorial Hospital. Hospital spokeswoman Laura Maher says no patients were on board when the helicopter crashed into a field in Rochelle, about midway between the two cities.
Maher didn't have additional information about the flight crew on board, but says crews generally consist of two nurses and a pilot.
The FAA says the helicopter was destroyed and all three people on board were killed.
Maher says emergency responders are on the scene.
Rockford is about 80 miles northwest of Chicago.

I really loved this book because it talked about magic and I like magic. My favorite part of the book is when Mrs.Quint opens a book and wishes the people were there and it works!!!!!!!!!!!!! My Favorite character is Arthur because he is involved in studies and does not have time to talk. This book is part of a series. They are similar because they all talk about magic and spells. The difference is that the characters are different.
I highly recommend this book to kids in 4th and 5th grade and to those who like fantasy and books about magic.

Bentley University has forged strong partnerships with the City of Waltham, other communities and nonprofit organizations. Programs and outreach benefit local residents, service programs such as City Year, and members of the Bentley community:
City Year
Bentley University and City Year joined forces in 2008 to launch the "give a year" program, a first of its kind partnership encouraging students to give a year of full-time service through City Year and receive scholarship support to Bentley and subsequent internship opportunities. The program is offered through the Bentley Service-Learning Center. The Bentley University/City Year model is now followed by 29 colleges and universities across the nation.
Service-Learning Projects
By volunteering for community service students fine-tune their skills in a real-world setting, while organizations gain valuable — and free — assistance on projects such as teaching and information technology systems.
Arts and Lectures
The Bentley calendar is packed with events and activities, most of which are free and open to the public. Offerings include the Bowles Performing Arts Series, concerts by the Bentley Gospel Choir, exhibits in the university art gallery, stage productions by the student drama group, and lectures on bioethics, privacy in the workplace, and other emerging issues in business.
Ghana Project
In 2006, Bentley first partnered with Ghana's Mmofra Trom Center, a school for disadvantaged and orphaned children, to help the center achieve financial sustainability. Among the Ghana Project's initiatives is the bead project, through which Bentley students sell beaded bracelets made by the children in the United States. Since then, Bentley's partnership has expanded to 15 other NGOs in the area.
Waltham Partnerships
Academic Scholarships
Students who graduate from Waltham High School are eligible for Bentley scholarship funds set aside for city residents. These include full-tuition scholarships and two $10,000 scholarships awarded annually. In addition, Waltham children and teenagers who take part in Bentley-sponsored youth programs, such as the annual Leadership Institute, may receive financial assistance and fee waivers from the university.
Athletics and Recreation
Waltham and surrounding communities are among the biggest boosters of Bentley athletics. The university competes at the Division II level in 22 men's and women's sports, and in Division I ice hockey. Check the athletics calendar for a list of upcoming home games.
The cumulative Spring 2011 GPA for all 500 student athletes was a 3.20. Forty percent of our student athletes were named to the Bentley President's or Dean's List. Nine student athletes received a 4.0 GPA for the spring semester. Bentley had the most student athletes, 328, named to the Northeast-10 Conference Spring 2011 Commissioner's Honor Roll. Bentley also led the way in terms of total percentage; 65 percent of our student athletes were recognized.
Waltham residents may purchase a membership to use the pool only. The outdoor tennis courts and track may be used by Waltham residents if they are not in use by the Bentley community.
Employment Opportunities
Waltham residents comprise about 15 percent of the university's full-time work force. Administrative and academic departments across the university offer challenging positions — with the added advantage of a very reasonable commute! Open positions are posted online.

Post subject: the dragons stories, comments, and thoughts Ehh Its a LOG
well im creating this for those who read my stories and want to tell me they hate, love, get hot under the collar about my stuff
i write my stories for mental exersize as well as enjoyment of writing.
just so you know, i think my stories out in my head then write them into the PC i do have 15-18 200 page spiral wound notebooks filled with hand writen stories that i need to put into computer media so they can not be lost as easely as my paper can infact many years ago i lent one to someone to read and they got fired ...a story lost forever *sigh*.
anyhow ive writen stories about transformation, magic, sci fi, time travel, fantasy and my ideas (thought train) tend to get wierd at times but i do try to be logical about things i have writen about sex and thus many of my stories are adult in nature if not for that then for the violence at times i have writen my stories with sad endings and heroic ones but on average i try to end the story in a normal way
my first online story was the dragons day the best so far is the father drake
i hope to have many many more

whelp i will tell ya going to an amusement park is one of the things people do for many reasons
me personaly i wanted to look for treasures
but im hopeless at the carny games i was so wanting one of the 6 foot tall purple dragons!! even a foot n half spyro would have been great but i suck and i know it so i drooled over a nice hat but not at 15 bucks for it
i finaly settled on a dragon necklace of quite good quality
i was seriously pissed at the fact that the laughing dragon pizza company which is avertized and touted in the adds and all over the park.. has been closed for years acording to one park employe shes been there for 4 years and has never seen it open! why in the hell do they leave it on the adds and signs if its closed and falling apart??
well i took a picture of the front sign cute laughing dragon with a huge pizza in its arms a big bite out of it
i went to the park with kyrin alex and kris (alexmon i take care of as a dragon nanny btw) got to ride xtreeme....this is not a ride
this is a slice of some designers mental instability!!!!
dragon has to qoute the fight instructor from armagedon
"im gona twist ya im gona flip ya im gona spin ya till you scream and then do it all over again"
this dragon has the feeling that if he were to have been sucked into a tornado and then flinged into a blender on frape' i wouldent have been so tossed around
i have found that the diabeites damage to legs has made it so even now 3 days later im still hurting and stiff and it made me quite unsteady
once i would have laughed at the rides but i couldent ride more my lesson on xtreeme showed me that i did enjoy the water rides for the pure cooling effect but the drops scared the *censored* out of me
i do not know this body it is not the one i had *sighs*

okay finaly my skills came into play for once
kyrins and kris bathroom (mine as well) has been needing work for some time
paint and old silicone peeling away from the top of the shower enclosure
it was horribly dark and moldy in there and over the entire bathroom (no venting)
well i got a couple tubes of cauk (sp?) and went to work fixing the drywall edge at the top of the stall and sealling it from further water problems
found an old can of paint in the garage and it was full...neat thing is it was the original color! so i started working on painting the shower found one of those indoor/outdoor light ropes and it is coiled around the roof of the shower thus now its much brighter
now of course when ya start fixing things like this something else says hey you have to fix me too before that...
had to fix the plug on top of the lamp where i pluged the light rope in
the towel bars were falling off the wall and kris horse shoe robe and towel hooks were as well so i pluged the holes and put in better anchors
fixed the vanity as a part of the cabnet face was broken off and tossed into the back (note to self paint rail now that glue is dry)
the metal shelves were looking pretty bad, rust and over all shabbyness so i sand blasted what needed it and repainted them
over all the room looks far better now the floor is still bad under the toylet (the loo to some) and right infront of the shower kris answer is to just lay 1 inch plywood over it all beveling the entry area into a ramp and then lay linolium i dont agree if were gona do floor replacement should take it down to beams and fix it so the floor dont die again
course this house IS held up by the termites one sneeze and it'll come down LOL

*Chuckle* one question, Cyberhorn, are the termites holding hands to keep the place together or are there just so many of them that the place is held up/together?

well dragon now has a very part time job , working with kyrin the vet who employs her decided as i help out so much around there with her and fixing things that he and his building manager (who does very well at playing solitare...errrr ...yeah)
anyhow doc says to kyrin tell the dragon to make a time card sunday he's going to get payed for his help
dragon needs to make out a list of stuff for stripping and refinishing the floors in the hospital which havent had it done in ohhhh 25+ years...yay scraping
the rest isnt so bad the stripping is actualy easy its the scraping years of wax grime dirt blood hair ect ect out if the edges and corners and this dragon worries about the tiles...in some places they arent exactly attached firmly
(dragon can see using the floor buffer with scotch brite pad(tm) whirring along scrubbing the tiles nice and clean listening to music and WHANG! off flies a tile into the wall)
sigh..... then have to go back in and repaint the base boards as the stripper and the pad will take the old paint clean off but thats expected doc has already planned for it
dragon also made a half door from an old window frame out in the barn. sanded with a plywood panel in the opening it will look great painted and keep the alex mon in his room as he is now sleeping on a real bed not a crib anymore *infact dragon is waiting for the paint to dry on the outside side of it then can turn over and paint the inside part which is a light mint green in alexs room and tan outside *

well the floor project went very well indeed the only hitch came witht he bathroom floor the tiles damaged by the xray film developer dident clean up much if any at all
*shrugs* doc loved the rest we did the front entry which had massive color improvement and looks incredible (4 coats of floor finish but it shines ) more to be done next sunday
dragon today was messing around on the neo pets site figured would see if it was any time consuming fun or just mindless drivil
it was a little of both i adopted a female scorchio (liked her colors) you figure they would encourage adoption instead of making a new one which they reward with 50 pointsin the adoption you lose points and still havent recived my activation code for my account which i cant get any NM (neomoney) so i can play with her in any of the games and such it says there are jobs? what the neo pet works while im offline? anyhow the day ended with me tired of seeing the your acccount is not active so you can play but cant earn any points and ect ect
then started writing on my new story its been stacking up in the brains buffer now for a few days , got some serious wrinkles worked out with the lead race in the story and their needs for a simbionic (sp?) relationship and how they lost that part of their world while i was driving back and forth tween town and the house (25 min drive or twisty curvy canyon roads)
so if anyone hears this dragon died while driving ..umm he was mostlikly talking out story while driving LOL
anyhow the stories tital is "a passing of time"
the race is the drava a legindary race that protected and helped 44 worlds around their home system but then disapeared from the galactic stage theyre loss ends up in many of those worlds being destroyed and by the time humans come along 3k yrs later only 3 races still exist but in decline others are extinct
man being the currious type and hearing the leginds decide to go find the drava for many reasons one of them is the fact other races dont much like humans out in their space and man needs technology they cant buy
no transformation in this story but it is diferent my werewolves of antarctica is also being worked on but the new is fuller inthe brains buffer so it takes precident
thank you btw for reading my log
cateagle did and i sent him a private thankyou note but never got anything back...ehh this dragon figures must been the bone sticking out of teeth *spits it out onto pile of others*

first and formost my cincerest apologies to cateagle
and on to the project that i got into yesterday for the doc's (kyrins boss) wife who also works at the hospital
well she asked kyrin if id come over to paint some of her patio beams well shes german so her english isnt the greatest so we went over and looked over the job
i was stunned this wasent a single day job this was a job for a pro contractor (to the tune of 13 to 14 hundred dollars)well she was non plused saying it was okay she didnt want it done in a day she kept saying something about getting up there with brushes to do the work which i told her that would happen but this was more a spray job due to the angles and texturing of the wood she also wanted some trim moulding replaced which is easy
she agreed and said they had one of those wagner power sprayers *yay*
well the wood is dirty from all the farming in the area and on the northern sides it actualy had moss growing in shady areas
we told doc who said to use the power washer which was my idea to rent if they didnt have one as (note this please) ANY PROFESSIONAL WOULD DO TO MAKE SURE THE PAINT WOULD ADHEAR AND LAST
well we went got supplies with doc giving us a blank check went back and fired up the washer lose old paint went flying and dirt came off in clumps with moss and actual grass in some spots
we cleaned all the parts she wants painted then washed and swept up the mess from the cleaning fully satisfied that we were doing the best we could as a favor to help her save some money i dont even know how much she (who is actualy quite generous) is paying for this
ha so we thought, we told her and she had a cow saying we absolutely damaged the solar panels which were on top of the structures it was why she dident want us to use that and we were soposed to dust and clean with brushes like profesionals would do...
im sorry, first im not a profesional licenced and bonded contractor but a decent proficent handyman who knows what pro's would do
but now im sorely tempted to tell her where to go as the solar panels have aluminum bottoms & sides copper cores and tubing there is no way a power washer i could stick my hand in the blast could damage them i didnt even aim at them just the wood of the structures they are on
job is becoming not worth the $ due to the issues its causing

If the solar panels produce electric power, there might be a problem, connections and continuity need to be checked. If the just heat water, there's no way this engineer can see that a power washer can hurt them.

Given what the panels do and given that they
have to survive severe rains, this engineer cannot honestly see where there could be a problem. Now, just to carry precaution to an extreme degree, you might check all of the plumbing connections to the panels, just to be absolutely certain. I can't see how a problem could develop, but there's always some outre thing that happens.
