I am interested in how political parties and voters adapt to new situations, in particular how parties and voters have responded to devolution in the UK and beyond. I have conducted research on party organisational changes in Spain and Britain, investigating and codifying the relationship between the central level of statewide parties and their 'regional' branches. In the context of devolution, I am increasingly interested in the issue of citizens' response to devolution and citizens' understanding of devolution, and what they mean for democratic accountability.
In addition, I have recently developed an interest in 'unusual' voting situations such as external voting (expatriate vote in national elections) and the vote of non-national EU citizens in the local, devolved and European elections (EU citizens voting in a country other than their own).
Finally, I remain interested in French politics. I have become country co-ordinator (France) for the Political Party Database Working Group, a research network that studies and gathers comparative quantitative data on the organisation of political parties across 19 countries.
I am the co-convenor of the ECPR Standing Group on Federalism and Regionalism and book review editor for Regional and Federal Studies. I am also on the editorial board of the journal Fédéralisme et Régionalisme.

Episode 5: Fedora-Flipper Correlations (BLADE Show)
Tonight we get very loose discussing what we saw (on the internet) at BLADE, and interrogate Brian about his experience there.
Wingding of the Week: BLADE organizers as a staff, label, and as a mothafuckin crew for perpetrating yet another fraud by giving Lionsteel overall knife of the year and the manufacturing quality award.

Topic Page: Abdomen
1 the region of the body of a vertebrate that contains the viscera other than the heart and lungs. In mammals it is separated from the thorax by the diaphragm
2 the front or surface of this region; belly. Related adjective: coeliac
3 (in arthropods) the posterior part of the body behind the thorax, consisting of up to ten similar segments
[C16: from Latin; origin obscure]
› abdominal (æbˈdɒmɪnəl) adj
› abˈdominally adv
In vertebrates, the part of the body below the thorax, containing the digestive organs; in insects and other arthropods, it is the hind part of the body. In mammals, the abdomen is separated from the thorax by the diaphragm, a sheet of muscular tissue; in arthropods, commonly by a narrow constriction. In mammals, the female reproductive organs are in the abdomen. In insects and spiders, it is characterized by the absence of limbs.
In humans, the abdomen is enclosed by the lower ribs and the muscles of the belly, and supported by the pelvis. The whole abdominal cavity is lined by a membrane called the peritoneum.
The abdomen is tightly packed with a number of organs that are involved in the nutrition of the body. These are kept in their relative positions by the muscles of the abdominal wall and the bands of the visceral peritoneum. If there is a gap in the muscles of the abdominal wall, part of the contents of the abdomen may protrude, giving rise to a hernia, or rupture. The stomach is situated in the upper part of the abdomen, with the liver in front and the kidneys, pancreas, and spleen behind. From the stomach the intestines, with a total length of about 10 m/33 ft, lead to the anus. The organs occupying the pelvic cavity, the lower part of the abdomen, are the intestines, rectum, and bladder in the male and the intestines, rectum, bladder, uterus, and ovaries in the female.

I use the latest version of Fence on Windows 7 with two screens.
Randomly, the shortcuts that I put in my Fence disappears. Restoring a snapshot does not solve the problem.
I uninstall Fence completely and reinstall later but that does not solve the problem.
Do you have a solution to solve this problem?
Thank you
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need more information. When you said shortcuts disappears. You mean it move to desktop or totally disappears? Do it reappeared on the desktop if you disable Fences?
Stardock Community Assistant.
Shortcuts disappear completely. It is not moved on the desktop.
Shortcuts do not reappear when Fence is disabled.
Okay, this shortcuts is pointing to files/applications in your Hard drive or on a network drive? Can you try the purge and reinstall steps to see if it helps : https://forums.stardock.com/486084/fences-support-faq#reinstalling
Make sure you re-download the installer from your account. Reinstall that version and reboot. Retest and report back.

Fences can sometimes have trouble with network shortcuts on the desktop when the destination is no longer available (you are not on that network any longer).
A work-around for you if you have networked shortcuts on your desktop. Please refer to the video and instructions below:
Step 1: Create a folder on your local PC; in Documents is as good as any
Step 2: Create a Fences folder portal to that local folder you just created (not to a network location). It, at this time, is empty.
Step 3: Go to the network location and create shortcuts to the data \ app you want.
Step 4: Move the shortcuts to the folder on the local PC... or.. directly into the portal (same destination).
The difference here is that the network shortcuts are not on the desktop but are on the local PC.

Michael Kors celebrates American classics for S/S 20

Feb 15, 2009
By Steve Weiss
New York…Shipley & Halmos
Trovata vets, Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos, returned for a very different collection than their previous "casual preppy" incarnations. Inspired by Ayn Rand and "linear objectivism," sharp angles popped up everywhere, from the runway to the prints on the woven shirts and knits. Even the overall cut of the clothes was as sharp as skyscrapers. The cardigans had a double placket, hiding all mention of buttons. Turtlenecks were layered under almost all knits. Besides the architectural greys, a very light pink and an electric green looked bold against the darker layers underneath. Although not as charming as their previous collections, both Shipley and Halmos seem to be on the same mission of self-discovery as the men they dress.

What this means is that it's no surprise that Lavalife is as popular as it is – it's been perfecting it's act for a long time.
The end result is a dating site that strikes you right away as refreshingly different.

The advantage of the separate communities concept is that your matches in each one are kept separate too, so it's easy to keep track of who's a match for what. Not only are the different types of relationship divided into separate communities, you can actually be a "different person" in each one.
For instance, you can be "Goody Two-Shoes" in Dating and "Hot-Lips Helen" in Intimate Encounters, if you like.Looking beyond this – we test run sites to write our reviews – Lavalife really different, following its own lead lots of ways that add up to a clever, original and stylish dating site.As I mentioned above, Lavalife lets members meet for different types of relationships, like many dating sites.Each profile has a "backstage" – a page where you can post up additional photos, video clips and so on.No one can view these pages unless you issue them a "backstage pass," so you're free to post more or less whatever you like here. For basic searches, you'll find convenient one-click search options (for instance, "local, within 5 years of my age").You can name and save these searches to run another time.

"If I Am the Books, Then You Are the Words"
Opening Reception
Saturday, April 7, 10 a.m. - noon
Miami-Dade Main Branch Library
If I Am the Book, Then You Are the Words is a series of posters created by O, Miami to be exhibited at Miami‑Dade Public Library System locations. Each poster features a short poetic excerpt written by a third or fourth grade student as part of O, Miami's Sunroom Education Program. The posters were designed by Noah Levy.
The program places professional poets‑in‑residence at four Miami‑Dade County Public Schools: Orchard Villa Elementary, Poinciana Park Elementary, Holmes Elementary and Emerson Elementary. The Sunroom teaches poetry as a means of self‑expression and uses public art projects to extend the reach of the students' work.
About O, Miami
O, Miami celebrates Miami through the lens of its people and its poetry. With principal support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, O, Miami's goal is for every single person in Greater Miami to encounter a poem. For more information and to see Sunroom students in action, visit omiami.org or follow O, Miami on Instagram and Twitter, using the handle @omiamifestival.

We were SO pleased when we heard that Team Cosatto had chosen to fundraise for us through this challenge! As a small charity all fundraising like this is greatly appreciated and really does make a significant difference to the number of people we can work with.
A cycling challenge could not have been more appropriate to match the aims of our charity. Wheels for Wellbeing's mission is to ensure that everyone; regardless of ability, age or additional needs can access opportunities to experience the many benefits of cycling.
The amazing amount raised by Cosatto will help us to fund our ongoing drop in cycling sessions, where people with disabilities access cycling through our own fleet of adapted and non-traditional cycles. We are sure that the Cosatto Team also benefited from their cycling...once they recovered from the exertions of covering such a long distance!
Huge thanks from all of us at Wheels for Wellbeing; to all that took part in the challenge, all that donated and of course to Cosatto Ltd for matching all donations.
Happy Cycling!

BBC Homepage: Clock
Good news! The clock has returned to the BBC Homepage.
When we launched the Beta Homepage we received feedback from a number of you who missed the clock, so we've turned it into a module allowing you to position the clock where you want it on the page (or shrink it or remove it altogether). It continues as before to show your computer's local time and date.
As part of moving the clock to its own module, it now makes use of upcoming HTML standards. Flash is no longer a necessity as the module uses HTML5 Canvas to draw and animate the clock face. This means users of newer browsers (and iPhones) will see the clock ticking on the page even if they don't have Flash. Of course, if you're using an older browser the Flash version will continue to load as usual.
If you're interested in how our Canvas code works, here's a snippet showing how to draw the clock face:
drawDisplay: function(pos){ this.context.clearRect(0,0,49,49); // clear canvas this.context.save(); // save state before translation this.context.translate(24.5, 24.5); // move 0,0 to center this.context.strokeStyle = "#fff"; for (var i = 0; i<12 ; i++){ // draw numerals var lineWidth = 1.2+(i*0.1), rotation = 30*(i+1), startX1 = -0.5 - lineWidth/2, startX2 = 0.5 + lineWidth/2, startY = -26, endY = -18; this.drawLine(lineWidth, rotation, startX1, startY, startX1, endY); this.drawLine(lineWidth, rotation, startX2, startY, startX2, endY); } this.drawCircle(2, 0, 0, 5, 0, Math.PI*2, true); // draw centre circle this.drawLine(3, pos.hrsPos, 0, -6, 0, -17); // draw hour hand this.drawLine(2, pos.minPos, 0, -6, 0, -24); //draw minute hand this.drawLine(1, pos.secPos, 0, -6, 0, -26); //draw second hand this.drawLine(1, pos.secPos, 0, 5, 0, 10); this.context.restore(); // go back to the state before translation this.drawnPos = pos; }
The display is then redrawn every second to move the hands to the current time using Glow Animations.
The clock has come a long way since it first appeared in our idents and continues to live on in new technologies.

I might be imagining it, but does the second hand in the Flash version not bounce (which the Canvas/JS version seems not to)? Planned future enhancement? :)

Congrats on the updated (surely not new) design. As for the clock, as it's not default how many will use it? 10 percent? I guess that would still be a large number.

Love the clock. Quick look throught the code and I can't decide whether it uses an internal 'clock' or not. An external clock would be very helpful and many PC clocks are well out of sync with the real world.
Is there a similar place for comment on regional variations? If so, please let me know.

The BBC is a trusted source for many - I would have thought this extends to telling the correct time. Working in IT I often see computer clocks set wrongly. I would have thought the BBC clock - the one that appears on the homepage - tells the correct time, not whatever is wrongly set on the user's computer. Perhaps at least an option to choose between "Use Internet time server" and "Use this computer's time".

Feature story about ILCW Member Page Lambert (USA)
By Colleen O'ConnorThe Denver Post
Posted: 09/03/2015
Author Page Lambert spends some time with her Arabian horse Farside in a community pasture near her Mount Vernon home in Golden. (Cyrus McCrimmon, The Denver Post)
Page Lambert's first raft trip through the Grand Canyon changed her life. Even the danger didn't stop her. At the Lava Falls Rapid, considered the biggest and most scary, her raft shot into the air, and she plunged deep into the murky water. She surfaced, gasping for air, but the waves dragged her back down.
Still, she persevered, and that night, "elated and grateful," she bonded with the crew over margaritas and steak.
"It was my first outdoor adventure that paired my love of writing with my love of the outdoors in a physical way," she said on a recent afternoon, sitting on the deck of her home in Golden. "That experience was so powerful to me."
It inspired her to create river trips for women, which she's been doing for 18 years. This year, her six-day journey that starts Sept. 21 will travel down the Green River of Utah's Majestic Canyons.
She schedules these trips toward the end of the rafting season because they're not about "maximum whitewater, life and death, a thrill every minute," she said. "They're about letting the river replenish you."
Since ancient times, women have gathered at rivers, bathing children and washing clothes and filling cooking pots. "It's where we cleansed and purified ourselves," she said. "Where we went to tell ourstories and share our dreams, to create a vision for the future."
The theme for this trip is reaching the crossroads of life — professionally, personally or artistically. Because such transitions can be like navigating through fog on a river at night, she believes wisdom is best gained by relying on the senses.
"When there's nothing but nature around you, all of those senses are heightened," she said. "You're suddenly keenly aware of the smell of dampness on the air or the shift when the winds begin to blow — you see it in the grasses."
Being rooted in the present moment, she said, is essential for good writing and artful living.
Women and wilderness
She's become expert at making course corrections in her own life.
As a young adult, she was working for a financial planning firm in Cherry Creek when everything suddenly changed.
"I met a cowboy and fell in love," she said.
They married, and moved to a tiny town in the Black Hills of Wyoming, where she started a new life as a young wife and mother and began writing stories.

The Tommies' lack of depth showed again Friday evening as they dropped their 10th straight regular season game, losing 4-3 to the University of Prince Edward Island in a shootout.
The demise of the Tommies came on the powerplay. They went 0-7 on the man advantage and couldn't muster up many goal scoring opportunities on four separate five-on-three advantages.
"Every team I've coached before has had a first and a second unit, but our team is kind of thin right now. So if we have a first unit and a second unit we're just going to get in a bad situation right after a powerplay," Tommies head coach Troy Ryan said.
It showed on the ice. A revolving door of powerplay personnel couldn't get much to the net and put pressure on UPEI goalie Jhase Sniderman, who made 36 saves on the night.
"We just don't have the depth to load up any one powerplay and if we do load it up, who are we really loading it up with?" Ryan said.
The game started brightly for the Tommies who took the lead within four minutes thanks to Yuri Chermetiev's first goal of the season in which he banged the puck in from close range with Randy Cameron and Mike Reich picking up assists.
Chermetiev soon added his second goal of the season at the 8:39 mark. Cameron added his second assist of the game with a brilliant stretch pass that put Chermetiev in one-on-one with Sniderman who was beaten blocker side top shelf by Chermetiev to put the Tommies up 2-0. Christian Morin also got his third assist of the season on the goal.
Chermetiev, who now has five points in 17 games this season, has not been the player Ryan hoped he would be this year, but was pleased with his performance Friday.
"A couple of weeks ago…it was in front of everybody, I called him out pretty bad…and I think Yuri's responded and at least he's competing," says Ryan. "I saw him chip a couple of pucks and take some hits and Yuri never use to do those sorts of things. He's actually competing and with his skill he'll actually manage to score some goals."
UPEI cut the lead to one when Matt Carter scored glove-side on Tommies goalie Charles Lavigne. Lavigne got a lot of glove on the shot, but it fluttered past him into the goal as the Tommies took a 2-1 lead into the first intermission.
STU started the second period strongly with Jonathan Bonneau restoring the Tommies' two goal lead only 37 seconds into the period, slotting the puck five-hole on Sniderman from the left face-off circle. Sebastien Bernier and Steve Sanza collected helpers on the goal.
UPEI would cut it back to one with two minutes left in the period as Reggie Traccitto scored on a three-on-one opportunity. Lavigne stopped the first shot, but Traccitto pounced on the rebound. Lavigne picked up a minor penalty on the goal for tripping, but the powerplay amounted to nothing.
The Tommies had multiple chances in the third period to win the game, but their powerplay failed them.
They went 0-3, including a couple of five-on-three chances and had nine shots, but couldn't find a way past Sniderman and it would ultimately cost them.
Jared Gomes tied the game for UPEI with 1:54 left in the game with a nifty wrist shot from the slot, beating Lavigne who had preserved the Tommies lead throughout. The Tommies went back to the powerplay right after, but again, couldn't generate any goal scoring opportunities as the third period concluded.
The Tommies' had a chance to win the game in overtime on the powerplay as Randy Cameron stared down an open goal, but couldn't get a good enough shot off as Sniderman came back across the crease to make the save.
The game would ultimately need a shootout and after Felix-Antoine Poulin, Chermetiev and Cameron all missed for the Tommies, Chris Desousa scored the shootout's only goal to give UPEI the extra point.
Ryan seems to know exactly why the Tommies unit isn't clicking.
"The old stats are 80 per cent of powerplay goals are scored on rebounds from point shots, but we don't shoot the puck and we don't go to the net, so we're not going to score," Ryan said.
Update: An earlier version of this story was duplicated at the bottom. It has been corrected.

Some people think it weird that I use the word munchkins to refer to my little brother and his sidekicks. Well, I think that's what they are, mischievous munchkins. Last night one my family brought one of Hudson's friends over to the house because we needed to watch him till church because his mother was at work. The boys were having a great time together. We had supper and then it was time to leave so my dad told the boys to meet us in the van because we were all going to ride together to church, so the boys did what they were supposed to and got in the van. Meanwhile, Nina and Selena needed to leave early for church and Titus hopped in with them in one of the cars. Since my parents and I didn't see who got in the car we just assumed that everybody else was with them and so we took the other car to conserve gas and left for church.
As you guessed the two boys/munchkins were still in the car, they were probably playing around so they didn't even notice everyone left. My parents noticed though that both Johnny and Hudson weren't in the King's Kid's group that was singing that night, which was odd. =) My dad went back to go find them and obviously none of the teachers had saw him…. My dad quickly drove back home and found them 🙂 Thankfully Hudson remembered the garage code so they were able to get back into the house. I think they had a good time even though they got left behind 🙂
So my blessing for this blog is for the little munchkins and that they were safe. =)
Enjoy your Day!

The New Zealand Defence Force today responded to claims made in the Stuff documentary series, The Valley, in relation to the Baghak contact in 2012, and related matters.
Chief of Defence Force, Lieutenant General (LTGEN) Tim Keating, says with regard to the NZSAS long-range reconnaissance patrol in 2004, he will respond publicly when all the information has been gathered: "This event took place 13 years ago, and we are taking time to gather all the facts, after which we will publicly respond."
LTGEN Keating says a response to the claims regarding the Baghak contact was required after seeing what the documentary had contended. This response is attached.
The New Zealand Defence Force notes that Stuff Circuit staff have confirmed that they do not believe the New Zealand Defence Force is covering anything up about Baghak.

We report a patient with erythematous firm papules and nodules over palms. Histological examination, which identified epidermis showed marked hyperkeratosis and dermis with perivascular lympho-histiocytic infiltrate which also extended in between the collagen bundles with occasional multinucleated giant cells and mucin deposition. This established the diagnosis of Granuloma Annulare (GA). This is an unusual presentation because of the late onset, uncommon localization, and absence of classical lesions of GA elsewhere.
Key words: Granuloma Annulare; the interstitial pattern of GA; hydroxychloroquine
Granuloma Annulare (GA) has been described in several morphologic forms i.e. annular disseminated, subcutaneous, papular and perforating. Although GA is primarily a disease of children and young adults, it has been reported in virtually all age groups. Females are affected twice as often as males, and familial occurrence is rare. No associated systemic sequel are present, and laboratory evaluation is usually normal. Disseminated GA is considered a distinct entity from the localised form because of the possible association with diabetes, a later age of onset, and rare spontaneous resolution. Therapy is usually disappointing. Various forms of therapies that have been reported to have a variable response are topical and intralesional steroids, dapsone, retinoids, niacinamide, chloroquine, colchicine, cryotherapy, electrodessication and X-ray therapy [1]. Though GA is a common disorder in dermatologic daily practice, its localization only over palms is uncommon and is infrequently reported in the literature. In most cases it is associated with classical lesions of GA elsewhere, when the diagnosis is relatively easy [2]. In case of isolated lesions a high degree of clinical suspicion of GA is required and histopathology is of vital importance in making the diagnosis. We recently studied an adult patient with lesions of GA at atypical site, absence of classical lesions of GA elsewhere and diagnosis made only on histopathological examination.
Case Report
A 65 years married male patient known stable hypertensive presented with multiple, erythematous, mildly tender, firm papules and nodules on palms of two months duration (Fig. 1). Patient did not have similar lesions or hypoaesthetic patches or any other skin lesion elsewhere. There was no history of drug intake, fever, joint pains, mucosal or genital lesions, sore throat or cough. General and systemic examination of the patient was normal. Various clinical possibilities considered were erythema multiforme, erythema elevatum diutinum, drug reactions, vasculitis / urticarial vasculitis, secondary syphilis, erythromelalgia, sarcoidosis etc. Routine investigations, VDRL, RA factor and investigations for diabetes, connective tissue disorders and thyroid disorders were all normal. A punch biopsy of one of the papules over left palm showed epidermis with marked hyperkeratosis. The dermis had hypercellularity and inflammation likened to Busy Dermis, perivascular lympho-histiocytic infiltrate with occasional multinucleated giant cells. This lympho-histiocytic infiltrate was extending in between the collagen bundles which appeared to be separated from each other. Special stain for mucin in the form of alcian blue stain at pH 2.5 showed bluish mucin separating pink collagen bundles in dermis (Fig. 2, 3). There was no frank necrobiosis or vasculitis in the dermis. These histologic findings made the final diagnosis of Interstitial Granuloma Annulare. The patient was treated with hydroxychloroquine sulphate 400mg/day as the lesions were painful. At the end of 1 month remarkable clinical improvement was observed (Fig. 4) and the patient did not experience any adverse drug reactions. He is being followed till today.

Papular form of GA has been reported to be familial. None of the family members of our patient was similarly affected. Although the occurrence of GA on the dorsum of the hands is frequent, involvement of the palms appears to be rare. Only a few cases have been previously reported, most often as painful acral papules [2]. Two pediatric cases of the subcutaneous variant of GA also exist [3]. Of the cases of GA on the palms that we reviewed, one case involved a woman with dermatomyositis who developed a solitary lesion of GA on the palm [4]. Brey et al presented 4 patients with acute onset acral papules of GA, 2 of whom had lesions involving the palm. Two of their 4 patients developed concomitant arthralgias and were evaluated extensively for rheumatologic disease, but were found not to meet criteria for any [5]. Painful lesions of GA on the palm and soles were also noted in three of thirteen patients with GA and lymphoma evaluated in a retrospective study by Barksdale et al, leading the authors to conclude that atypical presentations, such as involvement on the palms and soles, may be associated with an underlying hematopoietic malignancy [6]. Whereas GA has not been consistently linked to systemic disease [7], conditions such as interstitial granulomatous dermatitis with arthritis, palisaded neutrophilic and granulomatous dermatitis, rheumatoid papules, and Churg-Strauss granulomas, which all can clinically and histologically overlap with GA, belong to a spectrum of granulomatous diseases thought to be an immune-mediated reaction to a number of underlying conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, collagen vascular disease, Wegener granulomatosis, and malignancy. Our patient had no identifiable associated immune-mediated condition at the time of diagnosis or subsequent follow-up. Our patient had slightly tender papules and nodules on palms in contrast to asymptomatic nature of GA elsewhere. Granulomatous drug reactions have been associated with a number of medications, including calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants. These generally manifest with erythematous to violaceous GA-like plaques that characteristically involve the inner aspects of the arms, medial thighs, and intertriginous areas [8] and occur months to years after drug onset [9]. The histologic pattern of interstitial granulomatous drug eruption shares some similarities with that of granuloma annulare. However, interstitial granulomatous drug eruption can be differentiated by the absence of any significant necrobiosis, the presence of vacuolar interface changes, and the variable lymphoid atypia, not seen in granuloma annulare [10]. Our patient was not taking any drugs that had been implicated in granulomatous drug eruptions. In addition clinically & histopathology does not support a diagnosis of interstitial granulomatous drug reaction our patient. Although GA is regarded as the prototype of a palisading granulomatous dermatoses, the interstitial and mixed patterns predominate [11]. Our patient also had the interstitial pattern of GA. Abundant dermal mucin is a hallmark of GA. Unique histopathological picture clinched the diagnosis of GA in our patient. GA on palms poses a clinical diagnostic challenge because similar clinical features are shared by many a differential diagnoses. Histopathology is of vital importance for correct diagnosis and treatment. GA should be considered in differential diagnosis of papular lesions on palms. Our patient was unique as regards unusual age of onset, involvement of unusual site like palms, not being associated with classical lesions of GA elsewhere, skin biopsy findings making the diagnosis of interstitial GA and remarkable initial response to hydroxychloroquin sulphate 400mg daily after 1month (Figure 1 and 4 shows pre treatment & post treatment photograph). Localized granuloma annulare is self-limited and asymptomatic, treatment usually is not necessary. Systemic therapy is required for disseminated GA. Many other treatments proposed are topical, intralesional and systemic corticosteroids, chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine sulphate, potassium iodide, niacinamide, chlorpropamide, cyclosporine, chlorambucil, etretinate etc.
This is an unusual presentation of Granuloma annulare on palms because of the late onset, uncommon localization, and absence of classical lesions of GA elsewhere and was uniquely treated with Hydroxychloroquine which led to remission. On review of literatures on few cases of GA on palms were noted whereas few case of disseminated GA treated with Hydroxychloroquine as been published. Whenever we come across patient presenting with erythematous papules and nodules over the palm, the diagnosis of granuloma annulare should be rule out with considering all differential diagnosis. erythema multiforme, erythema elevatum diutinum, drug reactions, vasculitis / urticarial vasculitis, secondary syphilis, erythromelalgia, sarcoidosis.

Boston restauranteur Barbara Lynch Gruppo has left a twinkle in my eye. During a brief stay in Boston, I had the pleasure of dining at B&G Oyster and No. 9 Park, two of her eight restaurants in the Red Sox nation. B&G Oyster proved to be the perfect landscape for an afternoon lunch on a chilly winter day in the South End. We shared oysters, a snap pea salad, brussels sprouts and moules frites accompanied by wine. The restaurant is a modern take on the classic New England oyster bar. In the summer, their patio is apparently all the rage. That evening, we braved the cold and went to Beacon Hill and ate at No. 9 Park. Tucked away in a historic townhouse, the restaurant is an elegant jewel box that has rightfully earned acclaim for their outstanding wine collection and French and Italian inspired cuisine. Dare I say, the cheese platter alone outdid some I've swooned over in San Francisco, and lamb accompanied by a decadent gorgonzola fondue was impressive. Both experiences proved to be memorable and I'm looking forward to returning.

COLLEGE SIGNING DAY: Area athletes make their college choices
Signing college: St. Mary's University, San Antonio, NCAA Division II
High School: Midland High
Sport: Women's soccer
VonHolle on why she chose St. Mary's: "St. Mary's is my school and I can't wait to be there next year. I like everything, honestly. When I first went, I love San Antonio and I was super pumped to go. And then I got to the campus and it was beautiful. That made me more excited. Then I met all the other girls and the recruits, and the coach was awesome. I like everything about it."
MHS head girls soccer coach Cooper Barham on VonHolle: "I'm super proud of her. Overall, she's just a great kid, great player. They call them student-athletes for a reason. They're students first and athletes second. It's pretty amazing to watch somebody take full responsibility both as a student and as an athlete. It's always awesome to see a player that we coach to take it to the next level."
Notes: VonHolle is a four-year starter for the Lady Bulldogs and is a returning all-district player. … This season, the starting forward has gotten off to a great start, scoring more than 20 goals. She said the key to that has been to keep fighting and never to get discouraged on the field. ... The starting forward also said that she also considered Lubbock Christian University early on. … Kylie's older brother, Alex, plays soccer at NCAA Division II University of Colorado Colorado Springs.
-Oscar LeRoy
Signing college: Cisco College, NJCAA
High School: Midland High
Sport: Football
Position: Defensive line
Height/weight: 6-foot-4, 250 pounds
Ryan on why he chose Cisco: "I visited the school and it's a nice compact school. It's a great community. I love the coaches and the environment there. It was great. I loved it."
MHS head coach Tim Anuszkiewicz on Ryan: "Seth is a big, good looking kid. For his size, he's a really good athlete for that size. Seth's potential is untapped. He went to several different high schools in California and then moves to Texas his senior year. I am sure for him, it's really hard for him to get plugged in somewhere and have consistency. I think for Seth, the JUCO route is a really strong choice for him. I think it buys him more time. He's going to develop, he's going to get good coaching."
Notes: Ryan said he also had conversations with the University of Wyoming football program. … Ryan plans to major in electrical engineering. … Ryan transferred from La Verne Damien High in the Inland Empire area of California to play his senior year at Midland High. "It was a big change," Ryan said. "I am used to a lot of busy freeways and a lot of trees everywhere. When I come here, it's dirt and just one-lane highways." … Ryan played defensive tackle for the 2017 Bulldogs that earned a playoff spot with a 3-3 mark in District 2-6A.
-- Christopher Hadorn
Signing college: West Texas A&M, Canyon, NCAA Division II
High School: Midland Christian
Sport: Football
Position: Linebacker
Height/weight: 6-foot-2, 205 pounds
Threadgill on why he chose West Texas A&M: "I went up there and I just liked it. I like the coaches, I like what they're trying to do. I like how they are restarting (with second-year coach Hunter Hughes)."
MCS head coach Greg McClendon on Threadgill: "I know there's a bunch of guys that missed out on one heck of a football player and (West Texas A&M) is going to be blessed to have him. He's not a culture continuer, he's a culture maker. He's a culture builder. You're not going to go in and give a half effort around that kid. He's going to hold you accountable and he's going to demand your best. To me, that's a coach's dream. I think Coach Hughes is getting more than he's paying for."
Notes: Threadgill considered walking on at Texas Tech and Houston. He said he also had offers from Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa, and Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie. Threadgill said the recruiting process was difficult. "I didn't like not being in control, not knowing anything or what was going on," Threadgill said. "Just kind of waiting was stressful." … McClendon played at West Texas A&M in 1988-89. "There's not a lot to do get in trouble," McClendon said. "If you go to West Texas A&M, you're going there to go to school, you're going there to play football and that's what your focus needs to be on." … Threadgill had 452 tackles between 2015-17 for MCS. … Threadgill was the TAPPS Division II, District 1 Co-Defensive MVP in 2016 and 2017 and he earned the Reporter-Telegram's Defensive Player of the Year honor in 2016.

High School: Andrews
Sport: Football
Height/weight: 6-foot-1, 200 pounds
Buck on why he chose WBU: "I went on a visit and loved it up there. Before then, I was stressing about if I was going to get an opportunity to play in college and the schools I was looking at, I don't know if any of them felt right. But Wayland Baptist felt like home."
Notes: Buck was a first team All-District 2-4A Division I running back and a second team all-district linebacker for the Mustangs, who went 9-3 and made it to area round of the playoffs. … He is expected to play middle linebacker at WBU. … Buck said he also looked at Howard Payne, Southern Nazarene, UTPB and Sul Ross. … Buck said it's a dream come true to play college football and added that playing close to home wasn't as big of a factor. "I'm just excited to go play college football," Buck said.
-Oscar LeRoy
Signing college: Hardin-Simmons University, NCAA Division III
High School: Forsan
Sport: Football
Height/weight: 6-foot-1, 180 pounds
Hergert on why he chose Hardin-Simmons: "I was trying to decide between Hardin-Simmons and Howard Payne and the atmosphere at Hardin-Simmons was great and it's a much more distinguished program. They have strong academics as well and the coaching staff was great."
Forsan coach Jason Phillips on Hergert signing with HSU: I'm real proud of him. He's put in years of work and dedication to our program and it has paid off. He's one of those kids you have to run out of the weight room and track. He's also a great student and great all around kid."
Notes: Hergert is a three-year varsity starter, who excelled at both quarterback and safety this past season for the Buffaloes. He completed 54 percent of his passes for 2,106 yards, 25 TDs and 10 interceptions at quarterback and finished with 61 total tackles, three interceptions and three tackles for loss. … Hergert said he is considering studying criminal investigation or business. … He added that sighing was a dream come true for him.

-Oscar LeRoy
School: Midland Classical
Sport: Girls golf
Signing school: East Texas Baptist University, Marshall, NCAA Division III
Crow on why she picked ETBU: "It is a great academic institution, but it is also a Christian education and that is a big deal to me."
MCA golf coach Jeff Carter on Crow: "She's a consistent ball striker and she can drive it well over 200 yards. She packs a punch in her drive, she's good off the box and good with short irons. She's got some social energy to her and she wants to make sure everyone is included. (ETBU) is a good school for her."
Notes: Crow has been a standout performer on the Lady Knights' girls golf team in each of the last three years. She won the TAPPS 1-3A district title as a freshman and last season as a junior.

"I'm the mom of the group," Crow said. "Even if I have to miss a round, I love being there and making sure everybody has what they need. It's the family aspect of it (that is important to her)." … Crow said she also had offers and interest from Mary Hardin-Baylor, Berry College in Rome, Georgia, and McMurry University in Abilene. … She plans to pursue a master's degree in psychology.

Let's talk about robbing a bank
Imagine a team of thieves who are set to rob a bank. They've hired a driver to pick them up at an appointed time. The exact time that they'll walk out of the bank.
They then enter the bank and have set their stopwatch. They have 180 seconds to get everything they can and walk back out – in order to beat the cops to the bank. And in 180 seconds (three minutes), their driver will drive up and pick them up.
In a situation like that, if you're one of the bank robbers, you want to make sure that everything goes according to plan, right?
But what if I told you that the driver's watch worked differently than other watches? What if I told you that his second hand moved only when he was on his cell phone? Or only when he moved his arm? Or only when he smoked a cigar?
Not a very reliable watch, right? And if that's not reliable, could you count on him to come get you at the right time?
I didn't think so.
Let's talk about WP-Cron
We'll get back to our bank robbers in a just a second. But first let's cover what Cron is.
It's actually the name of a command from the old Unix days where you could schedule a future event to happen at a specific time. That's pretty handy, right? Imagine you wrote some logic but you only wanted it to happen at midnight. Then you'd put that code in a spot and only call it every night at midnight, using Cron.
So you can then imagine that WP-Cron is like that. And it is. Except where it's different.
WP-Cron is Cron for WordPress. And here's the thing – every server that runs WordPress is different. So that means that implementing a low-level set of commands that will work on any and every environment is pretty darn tough.
So WP-Cron doesn't work that way. It's not based on the server, or the server's clock.
Instead, there's a check every time a person calls one of your pages or posts. Every time WordPress goes to work, it checks to see if there are any jobs that need to leverage WP-Cron.
But that's a bit precarious, as you might imagine. Especially for sites that don't get hit very often.
In other worlds, WP-Cron works fine for sites that get a decent amount of attention, but not necessarily as great for those sites with little to no traffic.
In this way, WP-Cron is like having a driver with a watch whose time is dependent on something other than the normal second passing. Instead, it's tied to a variable (like arm movement). In your case, the variable is a request (as in a call to a post or page).
So is WP-Cron great for large sites?
Since I told you it wasn't great for small sites, you're likely thinking that it's awesome for large sites because they're always getting traffic. And that would mean that processes would get called any and all the time.
That is true. But that is also its potential issue on highly trafficked sites. Because every request can spawn a process that goes to work and takes up server resources. Imagine spinning up several (a lot) of server processes all concurrently. That might easily bring your server down if you don't have adequate resources.
So in the end, I don't like WP-Cron for small sites. And I don't like it very much for large sites.
I prefer a regular cron job. Something that's scheduled using a normal clock.
Here's what I use instead of WP-Cron
A few years ago we decided to make some nightly routines in our real estate solutions that use WordPress. And that's when we decided to move from WP-Cron to something else. Our something else is called SetCronJob – and it's an online service.
The service works regardless of what kind of server I'm hosting with, which is helpful for us. It also is really easy to schedule and control. And lastly, it's inexpensive (and free for some folks).
We've been using an externalized cron service now for 30 months and have absolutely loved the simplicity and consistency of the service.
Because, if you're going to rob a bank, or do anything even more important, you want the guy who's helping you to have a watch that works – all the time, every time.
And that means I need an external cron service like SetCronJob. Check it out!

I think paper should be banned because we are using so much paper and so many trees are being cut down and due to the loss of habitat, Many animals are endangered and forced to come in our cities or farms for food and they kill dogs and other house pets because the forests were cut down and the cities and people come in place of the animals and their habitats.
But in practice its not. Others have already brought up the points about using tree farms for paper, So I am going to look at it from a different perspective. If in the near future paper was banned we would not be able to communicate long distances if the networks in the country went down.
This would be even worse in war as another country would simply need to sabotage radio towers and stations and our flow of information to and from allies would cease. Not to mention this entire idea would require a lot of government funding, Which will come from, You know, TAXES.
Plastic is too harmful and should be limited in use. Paper on the other hand is biodegradable and renewable. Sustainable tree and forest regrowth is what people need to do. But companies are too cheap and shortsighted and just chop down any trees they can get their grubby hands on.
Rain forests would be saved if companies actually tried to replace or grow new trees. Take the giant redwood. After a couple of years they grow massively.
Paper can be used to replace other substances even batteries if people knew that they could plant more trees than they cut down. But nooo! They lack commen sense
As paper is a thing in our main life with out papper where will
we write.
And by what all the documents will be writen on. And in school
Wher will we write. You ca also say that there will be use of
mobile but due to the network waves it may cause harm to the
living world to the trees humans and etc. Therefor I conclused that
if we will band papers also then there will be more harm to trees.
And as much as i know the harvestors who cut trees for paper they
plantmore trees than they cut off.

Long time no talk! We have been battling what feels like the plague throughout the Rynearson household the past week so I've been feeling pretty drained. I'd like to say I'm finally feeling better, but she's still hangin' on. ugh. BUT! It's a new week and there's too much shopping and wrapping and planning to be done to be sick in bed all day. So onward and upward we go!
Remember how I said we'd be in the freezing temps from Halloween 'till April? Well, this year we have had unseasonably warmer weather.. and this mama 'aint complaining. I guess el nino is what is keeping the mild weather around and supposed to last through January. Don't get me wrong, we've had snow and been below freezing, but this is nothing in comparison to most Indiana winters. Which got me thinking about warm weather and the beach.. so for fun, I've rounded up some things that would be useful for mama & baby to take to the beach.. Maybe you're headed to see the ocean for the first time soon!? Even if you're not, it's fun to imagine the wind in your hair and salt on your lips (from the margs of course!)
I think vacation is a great time to bust out the more "trendy" sunglasses..for fun! Plus, squinting gives you wrinkles.. wear some cheap mama shades + baby shades to protect your eyes! This 50 states book would be great if you're going on a road trip to see the beach or even just to have around for learning the states. A beach radio that you plug your phone into? Genius! Plus it'll keep your phone safe from the sand and water. I don't know what is exactly the smartest thing for Rhett to wear to the beach, but I'll probably try a swim diaper underneath a pair trunks + hat.. it seems like a good idea!? I'd get this swimsuit for myself; it's got a fun pattern and is a one piece to mask the "extra" I have from the baby without feeling like I'm a nun. A drink spike for said marg. Baby powder to easily get the sand off baby's feet when it's time to go in, a fan to keep everyone cool if there isn't a breeze, & beach pails for the inevitable sand castle papa will help build. This beach bag is made of canvas and looks big enough to hold all these little items with extra space.. & I like the print. I've heard that turkish towels are the best beach towels to spread out for everyone to sit together and last but not least, both mama & baby need their own donut float + crab float for relaxing back up at the pool.
We have our first family beach vacation scheduled for Memorial Day weekend next year.. right after Rhett's first birthday. So I'll definitely be coming back in a few months to order some of these goodies! You can never be too prepared for things like this. Luckily, we are going to the beach that Danny's grandma lives at so we won't feel too isolated.. Danny grew up going to visit her, so it's very exciting for him to take his own baby for the first time!

I spent today behind the counter of The Nook.
"What is that?" you say.
Well - The Nook is an excellent little art and craft co-operative in the leafy town of Leura in the beautiful Blue Mountains, west of Sydney.
And this is some of what I saw there today -
You can find The Nook Leura at 133A Leura Mall (upstairs), Leura.

Hey everyone, If your question is how does aperture work you are in the right place. Because this post is my depth of field explanation. I will tell you about the most talked about topic in photography, Aperture. It is one part of the exposure triangle, the other two being shutter-speed and Iso. All photographers around the world love to play with it because it either adds depth to the Photo by blurring it or gets almost everything in focus. I will try to explain everything I know about it as simple as possible. So let's get started.
How does Aperture Work:
To make it simple the aperture is a hole inside your lens that lets light through it to the sensor. I think the easiest way to understand it is when you compare it to your eyes since every lens in today's cameras is build like one just not as good. 🙂 Light light shines into your cornea, on your camera, it would be the front part of your lens that gathers all the light then passes to into the iris of your eye. On your camera, it would be the aperture. You probably have noticed that when people walk into a dark room the iris inside your eyes becomes really big and gets smaller when people look into something bright. That is because the iris regulates the amount of light that gets through to the retina (on your camera that would be the sensor). It is the exact same way on a camera lens.
When you open the aperture you will have more light and a brighter picture. When you close it you will have less light shining onto your sensor and so a darker picture. You can always try to compensate that with iso and shutter speed.
How to Use Aperture:
If you go into the Av (aperture priority) or M (manual) mode on your camera your aperture will be displayed in with an F in front like f7.1. To understand how to use aperture you must know, that the larger the number the smaller the actual aperture. Which means f3.5 is wide and f22 is almost completely closed.
Quick Tips:
- Wide aperture= a lot of light on the sensor (bright picture)
- Small aperture= only a little bit of light on the sensor (dark picture).
- Big number f22= almost closed aperture.
- Small number f1.8= wide open aperture.
- Wide aperture= shallow depth of field.
- Almost closed aperture= wide depth of field.
What is Depth of Field:
Every time you change your aperture you also change the depth of field. The depth of field describes the area of an image that is sharp. For example, a shallow depth of field means the point you focused on is sharp but the fore and background are blurry. A wide depth of field means that almost everything is in focus. When I started taking pictures I only used a small aperture because I wanted as much as possible sharp. 🙂 But later I realized that having only a certain point in the picture sharp creates way more depth to the image. So, what I want to say experiment a little around to know what you like. 🙂
How to Use Depth of Field:
A wide aperture (f1.8) creates a shallow depth of field. An almost closed aperture creates a wide depth of field.
How to Find out the Maximum Aperture of your Lens:
When you look at the top of your lens (in my case the 18-55mm kit lens from canon), you will find a something like 1:3.5-5.6 This describes the maximal aperture of the lens in f stops first zoomed out (f3.5) and then fully zoomed in (f5.6).
Alright, this is it from me for my depth of field explanation. I hope you had fun reading it and learned what you wanted to learn 🙂 If you have any questions or opinions let me know in the comments. 🙂
Cheers Aaron.

Creative Work, Creative Play
Henson Family Exhibit Now Open in Connecticut
By Holly Myer and Karen Falk
Hometowns are part of our collective history. The years we live in a unique home will build our personal stories and hold precious pieces of our lives. Isn't it incredible how an item from years ago can bring back wonderful memories from the time your family spent in a certain neighborhood?
Imagine opening a time capsule and seeing the drawings, photos, and artifacts from a family's life over several years to see what influenced them and helped create their future. The Greenwich, Connecticut, Historical Society has done just that by creating an exhibit giving us a glimpse into one era for a creative brood that once lived there: the Henson family.
Jim and Jane Henson made Greenwich their family's home from 1964 to 1971. This was an intensely formative and inventive period for them, both at work and while raising their children on Round Hill Road. Through paintings, objects, puppets, photographs, and film, this exhibition examines the overlap of the Hensons' family life with their contributions as artists, performers, and parents to the early years of Sesame Street and local education center The Mead School.
The Jim Henson Company Archives department and Cheryl Henson collaborated with the Greenwich Historical Society on the exhibit, which is on display now, until October 8, 2017. It includes artwork, from Jim's early designs for now-iconic Sesame Street characters to Jane's paintings and sculptures. Images shown capture moments of the Henson children at play, the Hensons' colorful home environment, and early puppet performances, all which reflect the family's high value for imagination. Other highlights include a dollhouse built by Jim for daughter Cheryl Henson, modeled on their Greenwich home, and "Kermit #2," the second version of Jim's signature character, built in 1963 (lent by daughter Heather Henson). Home movies, Jim's Sesame Street counting films, and other rare footage, along with photos and historical documents are on display as well.
If you are in the area, we hope you can go see it! Information about the Greenwich Historical Society location and visiting hours is available at http://www.greenwichhistory.org/visit.

- 1896 – Bachelor of Philosophy, Brown University.
- 1897 – Master of Arts, Brown University.
- 1901 – Graduated from Harvard Medical School.
- 1902 – Appointed 'House Pupil' at Massachusetts General Hospital. Awarded Dalton Scholarship to investigate 'Osteitis deformans and allied affections'.
- 1903 – Started work at Boston City Hospital as Physician to Outpatients.
- 1905 – Founding member of the Interurban Clinical Club
- 1918 – set up a special ward for the treatment of patients during the influenza pandemic at Boston City Hospital.
- 1921 – Part of the first organised group practice in Boston.
- 1923 – Clinical Professor of Medicine, Harvard.
- 1934 – President of the Harvard Medical School Alumni Association.
- 1935 – Resigned from clinical duties to become Professor of Hygiene and Director of Health and Athletics at Williams College.
- 1942 – Retired and subsequently cared for his wife who suffered a severe stroke.
- Died 6 March 1971 aged 96
