1 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.
10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
20 And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
22 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
23 And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
24 And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.
25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
1 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
2 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
3 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4 If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.
5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
8 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
9 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
11 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
13 And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
14 But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
15 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
18 And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
19 If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
20 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
21 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.
22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26 And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
27 And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
28 If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
29 But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.
30 If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
31 Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.
32 If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
33 And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;
34 The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
35 And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide.
36 Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.
1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
23 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
54 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.
55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
59 And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.
60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.
64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,
67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.

Tom, i noticed another issue with 4.34k. When i press F9 to start spindle it does not start? Seems to be executing my init file instead for some reason? Any ideas?
Hi mmurray70,
Thanks for posting back. Sorry about that, We should have included a link. Version 4.34k introduced a bug with the screen editor when buttons invoke actions so we are reluctant to advertise it for general use. There is a patch if it effects you:
Tom, i noticed another issue with 4.34k. When i press F9 to start spindle it does not start? Seems to be executing my init file instead for some reason? Any ideas?
Hi mmurray70,
I suspect the Hot Key for your Init User button is probably configured as F9 (Keycode 120). Our bad for configuring that as a default example. Change User Button Hotkey to -1 or some other Hotkey to restore F9 for the Spindle On. See:
Tool Setup Screen User Buttons
Hi Tom,
I just checked and hotkey is already set to -1. Any other ideas?.
Hi mmurray70,
Strange. I tested here and with the Init Hotkey set to 120 I had the problem and changing to -1 no longer did. Please post a screen shot of your Tool Setup Screens so we can check and try to duplicate. Are you using a custom screen script?
Got it working now. Not sure why -1 wouldnt work, but i changed init user button to the code for F8, i think it might have been 119. And now f9 works properly to start spindle. So even though it was showing -1 for init hotkey it was still using F9 for some reason. Oh well at least its working now. Thanks again
Tom, looks like theres still an issue here with the hotkeys. Seems like its not actually loading the values I have entered for the hotkeys for some reason.
When i first load kmotioncnc, F9 still runs init instead of starting my spindle. And i have the insert key configured to set tool length offset, this doesnt work either. Just does nothing when i push insert. If I simply hit Tool setup, go to user buttons and hit ok, without even changing anything, it all works perfectly.
If i exit kmotioncnc and open again same thing, F9 runs init and my tool length "insert" key does nothing until i go to user button page and hit OK. I am using a custom screen, not sure if this could be related. Strange nobody else has ran into this.
Hi mmurray70,
I suspect the Screen Script is the issue. The User Button Hot Keys in the Screen Script, and the Hot Keys in the Tool Setup, are probably are in conflict. So when KMotionCNC starts up and loads the Screen Script they are set as in the Screen Script. When Tool Setup closes they change to what's currently set in Tool Setup. Something we hadn't properly considered which is confusing. I see Hide/Show of the User Buttons has a similar issue. We'll work on coming up with a better solution. We're open for ideas. For now please try setting the Screen Script to match what you desire.
That was the problem. I didnt realize the hotkeys were also specified by screen editor. Yeah seems like you might want to set all this info under tool setup and just have the screen editor change the position/appearance of the buttons only.
Its all working good for now with the numbers from tool setup and custom screen matching up.
Heres a link to video on my google drive. Let me know if this doesnt work. Also attached a pic of the part after finishing this operation. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1icX...ew?usp=sharing
Hi mmurray70,
Beautiful. Do you mind if we put that on our YouTube Channel?
But you forgot to do the rigid tapping.
Yeah sure if you want. Try and save it somehow as I may end up deleting it from google drive someday. Im wishing now that I had fixed up the program and moved tools closer together to make it look more impressive. The orientation failed once in that video too lol. Thats due to old VFD though, not the control.
No rigid tapping sorry. Those are NPT ports and I get a nicer finish thread milling then I do with a tap. The thread milling is at 2:30. This part would probably have been fine with a tap thought since its only aluminum. I use the rigid tapping all the time for normal threads, working great.

Our Mission: Grow a network of habitat for songbirds and pollinators in gardens across the Rocky Mountains and beyond, save water for our streams and rivers, and restore our joy in nature every day.
DBG@Chatfield: Outstanding Public Garden
While we finish evaluating the applications for the 2014 Habitat Hero Awards, we wanted to share a look at this year's outstanding public garden: Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield.
The Vision
Lauren Springer Ogden, co-designer with her husband Scott Ogden of the acre-plus native plant gardens at Chatfield explained the project. In 2011, after the new Chatfield Visitor's Center was constructed by the main entry and visitor parking lot, plantsman Panayoti Kelaidis, DBG's Director of Outreach, persuaded the DBG's CEO, Brian Vogt, to hire the Ogdens to design entry gardens that would showcase plants of the Great Plains and Mountain West.
Lauren writes,
As designers, we were excited by the public nature of the project and the extraordinarily beautiful site. ... It is immensely rich, where foothills meet prairie in gently folding hills that offer many compass aspects and microclimates for diverse plants and animals to thrive. Also a natural creek runs through the property, providing year-round water.... There is some disturbed grassland, and many riparian trees and shrubs.
Of course, there were challenges: money, finding plants not usually available in the trade, and then the actual effort of planting the hundreds of plants, plus ongoing weeding and maintenance. As Lauren puts it,
The process was a collaboration of people taking lemons and making lemonade. Chatfield's director Larry Vickerman, who is a plantsman and expert on the Great Plains flora, whole-heartedly supported the entire project and got quite dirty himself. I spent a couple of months in 2011 creating lists of plants... and sent my list of several hundred desired taxa to Mike Bone, propagator at Denver Botanic Gardens. He took the project on with great energy and care and hunted down rare seed and found and grew more than three-quarters of the species we requested....
Plant Placement and Planting
After the seedlings were grown, Scott and Lauren spent two months in late spring and early summer of 2012 placing every single plant on the site in a naturalistic design:
Our designs are informed by how plants spread and intermingle over time in natural plant communities. We wanted that stable, eternal look fast, so we created repeated matrices and clumps of the same species that fan out and disperse over space. People think it looks so random that it is undesigned, ... but [naturalistic planting] is actually the hardesttype of garden design to accomplish with visual and cultural success.
"Plant it and they will come"
It is amazing how full the gardens are after only two years, and how lively they are with birds and insect noise and motion. And the colors and textures change dramatically every few weeks. ... [The gardens at Chatfield] are living proof that native plants and plant diversity bring creatures. We hope they motivate a lot of emulation so that more such lively and life-affirming prairie and meadow gardens pop up along the Front Range. It has been one of the most gratifying design projects of my career.
If You Go
DBG@Chatfield is located at 8500 W. Deer Creek Canyon Road, Littleton, CO, just off route C-470. It is open 9-5 daily except major holidays. If you don't belong to Denver Botanic Gardens, admission fee is $5 per car.

I haven't actually used this conditioner without the matching shampoo, so I can't be sure how good its own effect is, but in combination, the products work REALLY well. Unfortunately, the shampoo is ridiculously drying and makes my skin feel scratchy and tight. I don't know what I'm going to do about this, because even though I've only been using the products for a few days so far, my hair has never looked better than this. Expensive, but the effect speaks for itself.

Wow, this is a nice conditioner! I am a shampoo and conditioner junkie. I probably need an intervention. I bought this from folica.com, along with the Lemon Sage shampoo. I have to say that I love them both. I have very fine hair, but a lot of it. I wash my hair daily, so I need products that aren't heavy and won't weigh my hair down. I do not color my hair and only use my Solia flat iron after my hair air dries. I don't ever deep condition and I want products that work consistently without the need to do any extra treatments, which this does. I haven't used it long enough to really see any major thickening results, but my hair has been so easy to style and a co-worker commented on how good my hair looked after I had been using this for a couple days. My only complaint is that the bottle isn't the easiest to squeeze product out of. It is made of a more rigid plastic so the bottle gets little dents in it when you squeeze out product. The conditioner is definitely a lot harder to get out of the bottle than the shampoo. That said, I will definitely keep this in my conditioner rotation. If you wash your hair daily and don't need heavy moisturizing, definitely give this product and the matching shampoo a try!

I just received word from Goodreads that I am now counted as an official author. Which is thrilling. Run, don't walk, over and mark Braving the Brontes, (Carly Keene: Literary Detective #1) as "to-read"! I'll wait while you do that. Excellent work.
But setting up a Goodreads page, and a Facebook page (CarlyKeeneBook) for the series, and a twitter account, and a Gobblydigook account (okay, I made that one up), takes time. A useful social media presence requires the exact opposite kind of attention and focus that writing does. (So do children, but I've already talked about that, and I'm sure I will again).
For me, my best writing is done in periods of quiet without outside distractions (thus the number of posts here ranting about my children and their disinterest in my writing schedule). It takes concentration whether that means four hours of writing in one go or a long walk thinking through a plot problem followed by half an hour to get it nailed down on paper. Social media is the opposite of contemplative, creative time for me. Again, I don't pretend to speak for everyone, but I am definitely not alone on this one. Kristin Cashore put it very well in this post. I don't have the problem she has of too many fans, but the sentiment is one with which I identify strongly.
On the other hand, I want people to read my book. I'm really proud of it. I think it's great. I'm already getting ready to write the next one. And if I refuse to be on social media, how will people know about Carly Keene? They won't. So right now, while I'm still an unknown author, the best thing I can do is try to balance the two types of attention needed: the intense, dead-to-anything-else focus for writing and the fractured, frequent attention to various social media platforms to promote the book. Carly Keene is good enough that she deserves all the attention I can drum up for her, and if you want to help, mark it as "to-read" on Goodreads and then once you read it write reviews on Goodreads and Amazon.
Luckily B and I have gotten back into running now that we have a double jogging stroller, and for me exercise helps mediate how stressful I find social media.

I soak up all you give me
Words and sweat and love
I am the sponge that never dries
The multipersonal man
I am he and she and them
I am a mirror, reflecting
Alice was my friend
There is no core engraved with me
I am a pool of water
Look and see a face appear
Do you recognise the eyes?
Do you think these depths are yours?
Sometimes a mirror lies.

But so far it's mainly been flowers and leaves and basically learning that my dollar store watercolors don't work super well, haha. Here are my pages from the past couple weeks.

Bolante out, Alabang boys in
Manila, Philippines –
The Bolante/fertilizer scam investigation have taken a backseat as the "Alabang boys" (or Alabang adults as others would politically put it) drug issue has grabbed the limelight. It is the most celebrated news at the moment as it involves three men from affluent families namely Richard Brodett, Richard Tecson, and Jorge Joseph who were allegedly caught in a buy-bust operation by agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA).
The case became very controversial as several issues emerged during the course of the investigation. First is the alleged bribery attempt to PDEA agents and/or state prosecutors. Second is the parents' wrath against the alleged physical abuse inflicted on their son/s. Third is the excessive enthusiasm of defense counsel Felisberto Verano to draft the release order to be signed by Justice Seceretary even using official DOJ letterhead and coursing it through the office of Ateneo law classmate and fraternity brother Justice Undersecretary Ricardo Blancaflor. Fourth is the seeming friction between government agencies PDEA and DOJ. These are just some of the reasons that make this issue very interesting.
The Lower House is already conducting its probe of the issue. With the 2010 elections just around the corner, much of our beloved congressmen would definitely want a share of the media mileage. Thus, expect to gain a myriad of information from various groups involved but don't be too optimistic that heads will roll anytime soon. As they say, it's simply in aid of grandstanding err legislation and not of prosecution.

Flying on Instruments
When I was in high school, I had the great good fortune to learn how to fly. Late in my training, after soloing and practicing seemingly endless touch-and-go landings, I received some elementary instrument instruction. While only qualified to fly using Visual Flight Rules–three miles visibility and a 1000 foot cloud ceiling–the FAA curriculum required that I be able to perform level flight and elementary maneuvers using basic flight instruments.
It makes sense. After all, there's always a chance that you can get caught in unexpected weather–instrument conditions. And one of the first rules that was drilled into me again and again and again was to always trust the instruments. Our senses can deceive us. After being buffeted by turbulence without external cues, our bodies often think up is down. So my instructor taught me that when my intuition told me that the instruments were wrong, trust the instruments, not my intuition.
The reaction to Friday's employment report reminds me of this lesson. Initially the equity market sold off and the bond market rallied—the normal reaction to a truly dismal set of numbers. But they quickly reversed themselves, apparently concluding that the numbers were an aberration, that in fact the economy isn't slowing, and that an acceleration in economic growth is just around the corner.
But doubting the numbers is like questioning your instruments. Yes, instruments can fail and employment reports can give false signals. But it's far more likely that the pilot's or the analyst's intuition is getting in the way.
"Men willingly believe what they wish," goes the old saying. In investing, as in flying, it's dangerous to trust your feelings over the facts.

Dutch Woman Charged with Stalking After 65,000 Calls
(ROTTERDAM, Netherlands) -- Sixty-five thousand calls plus one year equals one stalking charge. That's the equation facing a 42-year-old Dutch woman who allegedly called a man 65,000 times in the past year.
The woman finally had her call answered this week, not by the man she says was her ex-boyfriend but by Dutch prosecutors who charged her with stalking.
Police arrested the unidentified, suspected stalker Monday, seizing several cell phones and computers from her home in Rotterdam.
The arrest came after the 62-year-old recipient of the persistent calls filed a police complaint earlier this month. He denies having any relationship with the woman.
A look at the statistical breakdown of the woman's phone-calling habits sheds light on the multiple cellphones seized in the raid of her home.
To reach 65,000 calls, the woman had to have called 178 times a day. That's nearly eight calls an hour, 24 hours a day, seven days a week or one phone call every eight minutes, without ever stopping.
Proving, perhaps, that the bestselling U.S. book and movie, He's Just Not That Into You, was never translated into Dutch, the woman told court officials her call volume was normal.
Nonetheless, her alleged ex can now safely put his phone back on the hook.
The court ordered the woman to have no contact with the man again.

In the latest copy of Lewisham Life W.I.S. noticed an interesting article about shops having a makeover in New Cross as part of the 'New Deal For Communities (NDC) initiative.
22 shops around New Cross were restored in total including cleaning brickwork, structural work, restoring original features and replacing shop fronts and signs.
Seems like it pays off as the owner of the new Hardware Centre at 117 New Cross Road said "the appearance of the building is much improved and trade as picked up by 35-40%".
Further proof that improving the way your business looks is a sound investment in your business?

Under the banner of the Fire Dragon, the armies of the Orks are constantly on the march, forever seeking new cities to raze, new nations to conquer, and new people to sacrifice or enslave.
To the orkish warrior's mind, excessive planning is a coward's resort, while fancy tactical chicanery is a sure sign of effeminacy. Instead, orks rely on a combination of unrelenting aggressiveness, death-defying bravery, and the natural-born bully's instinctive eye for weakness.
While their behavior might seem erratic and irrational to outsiders, the orks themselves see every battle, every sacrifice, and every torched village as steps on the road to the Big Burning, an ork-administered apocalypse in which Agon is scorched clean and made ready for the reign of the Fire Dragon.
Racial SkillsEdit
|Orkish Toughness
|40 Vitality

Starting AttributesEdit
- 25 Strength
- 20 Vitality
- 20 Dexterity
- 15 Quickness
- 15 Intelligence
- 15 Wisdom
Starting TownsEdit
Much of the orkish homeland, Morak, is covered by fetid and insect-haunted swamps in which the traveler sinks ankle-deep in sticky, ubiquitous mud. Rain falls very frequently in Morak, and a combination of clouds and swamp-mist ensures that sunlight rarely-- if ever-- disturbs the murky ambience.
The northern third of Morak is dominated by a number of active volcanoes and the lava streams which issue from them. The land between these volcanoes is jagged, rocky, and as barren as the southern swamps are fecund.
The orkish realm lies in the central eastern part of Agon's main continent. A state of unending war exists between the orks and both of their closest neighbors - the humans of Mercia to the south, and the dwarves of Dvergheim to the northwest. To the northeast of Morak lies the jungle continent of Yssam, which is the domain and playground of a celestial dragon, while the neutral city state of Silvertown lies to the southeast. To the west, the Pall of Oncylus slowly spreads across Agon's heartland.
Enemies: The SadayelEdit
In the darkest, remotest parts of Morak's swamps stand the villages of the Sadayel, a race of resourceful and semi-civilized lizardmen. Though otherwise peaceful, the sadayel nourish a marrow-deep hatred for the orks, who have been their (largely victorious) rivals in an age-long struggle for the meager resources of the swamp.
Sadayel villages occupy interconnected wooden platforms which rise on stilts from the swamp's mud. They tend to settle in wooded swampland or mangrove forests, building their houses among the trees and in harmony with nature. Sadayel settlements are found throughout Morak's swampy regions.
Slight and short-statured, the sadayel may be mediocre hand-to-hand fighters, but they are excellent archers and competent spellcasters. They sometimes bring groups of flying snakes with them into combat, and frequently ally with akathar bird-men.
Flaming SkullEdit
Lava rivers cut through and encircle the orkish capital of Flaming Skull, which lies in the shadow of an eponymous and very active volcano. Minor eruptions of Flaming Skull are frequent, and the rain of ashes has recently grown so thick and steady that the sun is pleasantly (to orkish eyes) veiled by a black, noxious cloud.
The orks welcome the increased volcanic activity, regarding it as a sign that the Fire Dragon is about to wake from her slumber. When the nearby port village of Flayed Elf was completely destroyed in a recent eruption, unperturbed orkish authorities dispatched slave teams to construct a new port right next to the ruins of the old one.
In the center of Flaming Skull rises the Great Stairs, a huge pyramidal structure which contains the Fire Dragon's lair. Every day, dozens or even hundreds of victims are thrown into the ever-burning interior of the Great Stairs, where they are swiftly consumed by the draconic deity's flames. The Fire Dragon currently rests and slumbers, but according to orkish clerics, the hour of her re-emergence draws nigh.
Close to Flaming Skull lie three starting villages, which is where orkish adventurers embark on their careers. New Flayed Elf is a large port community, watched over by a lighthouse and a coastal keep. Metal Heart lies on an island surrounded by deep swamp, while Chopping Necks stands on a series of interconnected pillars which rise from a lava lake.
Culture and ReligionEdit
Orks see themselves as purely a warrior race, and all manual labor in Morak is performed by slaves. The vast majority of these unfortunates are goblins, but a sizable majority belong to a clan of svartdvergir who were enslaved after migrating south from Dvergheim.
The orks worship the Fire Dragon, a chaos deity of awesome power, who quite recently unified the warring orkish tribes under her rule. Currently resting inside the Great Stairs in Flaming Skull, the Fire Dragon rules through Grand Messenger Arxanthos, a red dragon who receives dream-decrees from the slumbering goddess (or just claims to do so), and who commands a sinister priesthood called the Dragonbound. When the Fire Dragon is fully recuperated, she will emerge to take control over a united orkish army, and together they will unleash the Big Burning upon the world. In the meantime, the orks - who can hardly wait - do their best to prepare the ground for this rampage to end all rampages.
Since the Fire Dragon requires a steady stream of sentient sacrifice, orkish armies regularly raid for fresh victims. All resulting captives are hauled back to Flaming Skull, where they are dragged up the Great Stairs and thrown into a fiery pit which leads to the Fire Dragon's lair in the structure's interior.
The traditional leader of the orkish nation is the Big Head of Flaming Skull, a sort of high king whose power over the tribes has waxed and waned through history. The current Big Head is Uzrok Deathfist, a traditionalist who resents the power of the priesthood, and who suspects that Arxanthos is faking the dream-messages from the Fire Dragon, which frequently involve bringing treasure and food to Arxanthos's lair in Emberhall.
Movers and ShakersEdit
Big Head Uzrok commands one of the most active armies on Agon, and the Iron Orks are an elite group within that army, its members selected for strength, ferocity and cunning (in that order.) Utterly loyal to Uzrok, the Iron Orks answer to the Big Head directly, and some speculate that building their strength is the gambit in a scheme to wrest power from the Dragonbound.
The Defenders of the Swamp are an orkish order of knights who have dedicated their lives to keeping the swamps of Morak clean of unwanted elements. Since Morak has no shortage of monsters or enemies, the Defenders are kept very busy indeed, and their membership tends to attract orks that are even more fond of violence than most.
The Dragonbound are an extremely powerful group of fundamentalists, who have dedicated their lives to the Fire Dragon, and who show their loyalty by cutting off their lips and covering their bodies in self-inflicted scars. The Dragonbound are not averse to working behind the back of Big Head Uzrok, who they see as a mere pawn (and an insolent one, at that) in the Fire Dragon's game.
The Erodach are powerful humanoid creatures who are masters of the element of fire. They are haughty and arrogant, and are famous both for searing intelligence and cold cruelty. The origin of the Erodach is unknown (they are not natives of Agon) and their motives are veiled in shadow. They claim to be staunch allies of the Fire Dragon and the orks of Morak, but many assume that they have come to Morak for good reasons that they choose to keep hidden.
The Guild of Thugs is a highly organized - by orkish standards - outlaw band, who seek to reduce Morak to a state of anarchy, so that they can enjoy free rein. The Guild undermines the rule of the Big Head whenever they can, and they despise the Dragonbound priesthood.
The orks throw all their weak or sickly children into the swamp. As a result of this process of evolution through orkish selection, the inhabitants of Morak are physically stronger than most other races on Agon. Orks also have a natural aptitude for melee combat and for other skills that involve brute force.
The orkish mount is an enormous, vile-tempered beast called the Death Pig. This monstrosity sweats constantly and profusely, covering its black, hairless hide in a glistening layer of oily liquid. In combat, the Death Pig kicks with powerful hooves and slashes with large, curved tusks which protrude from the sides of their mouths. Orkish smiths strengthen these natural weapons with a thin coat of leenspar, which is then decorated with black orkish runes. The eyes of the Death Pig are tiny red sparks of malevolence which almost disappear in the thick folds of their leathery foreheads.
Orks see most other races as little more than sources of income, sadistic fun and sacrificial victims. The only other race that the orks can comfortably form clans with are the mahirim, who they respect for their bravery, cunning and skill in battle.

The start of the show seemed promising as we were greeted by Real American and our WrestleMania XXX host, Hulk Hogan. Decent promo from the Hulkster and all, but even by his standards there seemed to be an excess of "BROTHERS!" Minor complaint however as it's great to see Hogan back in WWE. They are meant to go together and it's good to have him home no matter my feelings about his WCW Hollywood Hogan run.
Now I've practically been crusading against a lot of the nitpicking analysis I see from the IWC. Well I've already fallen into one with the Hogan/Brother deal, but I actually have another. Did anyone else think it odd that they essentially used the same exact finish in the Cesaro/Big E and the Reigns/Wyatt matches? I mean the two finishes could not have been more similar. Anyhow, both were entertaining matches although some shoddy camera work hurt Reigns/Wyatt. I really hated that they missed a good look at Reigns' swanky dropkick on the apron move. The highlight of the match and of the night for me was Seth Rollins' awesome run-in. The camera angle helped in that regard as well. It was like BOOM...SETH ROLLINS!
It looks like we have some sort of endgame for Daniel Bryan vs The Authority. I'm not as hot and heavy on Bryan as most are, but I think a match with Triple H will be a nice consolation prize if you're not going to get him involved with the belt. I am not sure, however, how much longer you can have Bryan be oppressed by The Authority before that really loses steam.
The most interesting thing last night for me was the continued massaging of Batista. The crowds still (irrationally in my mind) dump on the guy. On Twitter (@S_ATL_Wrestling) last night I wondered aloud if they should just try to do a double-turn with Big Dave and Orton. Orton chuckling at Batista was pretty funny because he looked legitimately tickled when he pointed out to him how much the fans hated him. I don't see a way out other than just giving the WWE Universe a full-on heel Batista at this point because he says all the right things and the crowds still despise him. The upcoming angle on Smackdown will be interesting, but a touch less so because they can sweeten the crowd response, etc. to help give us their desired outcome.
Last but certainly not least was the Taker/Lesnar main event segment. Again I don't get as fired up about Taker's yearly reappearance as some. To me The Streak is cheapened to a degree simply because Taker shows up for basically one month a year at this point. Lesnar is one heck of an interesting opponent however and that segment last night was heated and that's a good thing. One thing that legitimately slayed me last night was this Tweet from WWE Creative Humor (@WWECreative_ish):
The fans in Green Bay have gone nuts for The Undertaker & Hulk Hogan because in Wisconsin it's still 1991 #RAWTonight
— WWE Creative Humor (@WWECreative_ish) February 25, 2014
That's funny right there.
It wasn't a bad show by any stretch, but for me it was a victim of my high expectations. The Road to WrestleMania is certainly heating up and that is always exciting however.

Work in Progress September 2014
Recently I've been feeling that work on the flat has stagnated.
Firstly this is patently untrue. Lots of work has gone on in the flat, it's just mostly it's not been me doing it. I now have doors, and the electrics are finished, and I've even managed to fix a couple of odd holes and make some shelves (with E) and install a washing machine myself (with some help again).
Things have happened, but without the force of momentum of the first half of the year. This is because, well, life. Laundry and cooking and washing up, and then private clients and this blog and a summer of fabulous holidays and hen dos and visiting friends with new babies.
I love the WiP series (and you tell me you do too) because it's great to stop and take stock of how far I've come with this project (although you might enjoy it for the snoop more than anything!). Looking back over a month shows how far the flat has come and encourages me to not be so down on myself! That's true in life as much as it is for a project like this.
And I can't complain about lack of movement anymore: this weekend the kitchen install starts! Which means we spent last weekend building IKEA flatpack and that the living room is currently covered in units waiting to go into position. I'm so excited to see it go in! Although I'm more excited to soon not be washing up in the bathroom!
WiP October is going to be a big one!

Saying that programs mandated but not funded by Sacramento and Washington have worsened the county's budget woes, San Diego County Supervisor George Bailey threatened Wednesday to refuse to implement new state and federal programs here if money is not provided for their operation.
In a State of the County address delivered one day after he became the Board of Supervisors' 65th chairman, Bailey, expanding upon a theme that he has stressed throughout his first four-year term, warned that unfunded state and federal programs have caused the county to lose control of its own budget.
Of the county's current $1.2-billion budget, 93%, or $1.1 billion, is devoted to programs required by state or federal laws, ranging from welfare and social services to jails and indigent defense, Bailey said in his 30-minute address. Only 7% of the county's budget, or about $84 million, is discretionary.
Most Angry at Legislature
Although he included Washington in his remarks, Bailey directed most of his verbal wrath at the state Legislature, which, he noted, ordered California counties to implement 2,800 programs from 1975-1984 but completely funded fewer than 100 of those actions.

WASHINGTON -- The commonly prescribed anti-diabetes drug metformin appears to improve the ability of bicalutamide (Casodex), an androgen ablation drug, to slow proliferation in hormone-resistant prostate cancer cell lines, researchers reported here.
"Combining metformin with bicalutamide significantly reduces prostate cancer cell colony formation rates more effectively than either drug in monotherapy," said Vasundara Venkateswaran, PhD, assistant professor of surgery at the University of Toronto.
In her poster presentation at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research here, Venkateswaran also suggested that "this combination regimen may potentially improve prostate cancer specific survival through a direct anti-proliferation mechanism."
The researchers assessed the effect of bicalutamide and/or metformin on cell proliferation rates in sensitive and hormone-resistant prostate cancer cell lines, exposing the cell lines to micromolar concentrations of bicalutamide or millimolar concentrations of metformin resulted in significant dose-dependent reductions in cellular proliferation.
For example, the combination reduced colony formation rates by about 50% (P<0.0001) compared with monotherapy arms in androgen-resistant PC3 cells. Combined treatment with bicalutamide and metformin caused about a 90% reduction in cell proliferation.
"These preliminary results are being further evaluated to determine whether this positive interaction is additive or synergistic," Venkateswaran told MedPage Today. "We are also assessing the combination regimen in vivo using a murine xenograft model and are performing mechanistic studies to determine how bicalutamide and metformin interact."
She said further studies will also determine if therapeutic levels of the drugs will have similar effects on cell lines and in vivo models of prostate cancer.
Venkateswaran said research has shown that prostate cancers can be driven by insulin and often insulin growth factor receptors are overexpressed in prostate cancer patients -- especially in men who may be overweight or express the so-called metabolic syndrome.
"The incidence of prostate cancer varies dramatically by geographic location, with developed countries exhibiting significantly higher levels of disease," she noted. "Some attribute this to the 'Westernized lifestyle' of high energy diets coupled with lack of physical activity and consequent obesity. Rising obesity levels have been mirrored by increased diagnoses of non-insulin dependent diabetes."
While the evidence for a causal association between obesity and prostate cancer is mixed, clear evidence exists that obese prostate cancer sufferers have higher levels of prostate cancer-specific mortality, she said.
In addition, previous research has found that metformin has anti-neoplastic effects in vitro and in vivo, and clinical studies have suggested that patients on the drug are diagnosed with cancer less frequently and have lower prostate cancer-specific mortality.
She suggested that metformin use, in addition to impacting prostate cancer growth, "may improve overall survival rates by reducing the cardiovascular morbidity and mortality that accompanies hormone-induced metabolic syndrome."
No corporate funding for the research was reported. Venkateswaran had no disclosures.

Black Jeans: Old Navy (exact, very similar)
I always feel like I look very masculine when I layer a button down and a sweater. I know that most of y'all do, too. The important thing is that we try the outfit out anyway. We should try it and see because we will never know until we try.
Another way to feel less masculine is to wear girly colors, pieces, and patterns like the polka dots in this button down. I also like to add some sparkly, feminine jewelry. I wore this outfit with gold and light pink jewelry, but forgot to wear it when I took these photos. I would wear a stack of girly bracelets like this, rings like this, feminine earrings like this, and a watch like this. I also like the idea of blush or rose gold jewelry.
I actually used this pin for inspiration even before I did the PMT Style Challenge: Wear an Outfit You Pinned. I love using Pinterest for outfit inspiration. How about you?

YEREVAN, August 11. /ARKA/. Inflation rate is expected to continue rising in Armenia in the second half of 2017 in absence of inside and outside shocks, economists at the Eurasian Development Bank say in their quarterly macroeconomic report.
They say that the deflation influence of domestic demand will gradually be weakening as economic activity will be recovering, and this will allow inflation to come close to the lower board line of the projected brackets in 2017 and will remain on the projected level in the medium term.
The authors of the report say that the impact of the conservative fiscal policy that curbs price rise will remain in 2017, but in the medium term, likely positive impact of fiscal consolidation on confidence in the policy and inflow of investments into Armenia's economy will lead to neutralization of the deflation effect.
Armenia has ended the year 2016 with 1.4% inflation. Deflation in the country has been recorded throughout seven months of 2016, and only in September process rose 0.1%.
According to statistical reports, inflation in Armenia was recorded at 0.5% in Jan-June 2017, compared with the same period a year before.
In June 2017, compared with June 2016, it stood at 1.1%.
In the government budget for 2017, inflation is projected at 4% (±1.5%) and GDP growth at 3.2%. M.V.-0----

Saturday, and life seemed to be returning to normal in Brisbane. We were on the "Road to Recovery". One of the signs of this was that the West End Markets were back on. They had been completely covered with water when the Brisbane Flood happened. Somehow they had managed to clean up and get everything functioning for the markets a week later. So off I went. The fresh produce was so inspiring and my favourite Gympie Goats Cheese was there. I bought so much I had to make two trips to the car. And just so you don't think I live on chocolate and cake I have included some photos of the produce I bought.
The bread and Gympie Goats Cheese was eaten so quickly by a group of 17 year old girls that dropped by, that I didn't get a chance to photograph it.
Well after all this healthy produce I just had to go back to baking and I have always loved Peanut Butter Brownies. The combination of sticky peanut butter and chocolate is just wicked and I figure if you are going to indulge you might as well go all the way. They worked out quite well, however next time I will put some flour in them. These have almond meal instead.
500 grams semisweet chocolate, chopped (or chips) Best you can afford.
250 grams of butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
5 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cups of almond meal1/3 cup of plain gluten free flour (or not)1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons dark unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup peanut butter
In a large bowl, melt the chocolate, butter and and mix together until smooth. Whisk in the sugar until completely combined.
Add 3 of the eggs and whisk until combined, then add the remaining 2, plus the vanilla. Whisk until all the ingredients are just mixed – don't overbeat.
Sprinkle the flour, almond meal, and salt on top of the chocolate mixture. Mix together well
Pour the batter into a greased and lined metal or glass pan.
Microwave the peanut butter about 30 seconds, until smooth and slightly runny.
Dollop tablespoons of peanut butter over the batter, and use a knife or spatula to swirl.
Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes. Do not overbake!
Place in the fridge overnight to make firm and then cut into squares.

Pharmacokinetic Interaction between Zidovudine and Trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole in HIV-1 Infected Children
1Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada
2Department of Pediatrics, Infectious Diseases Division, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Copyright © 2000 Hindawi Publishing Corporation. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of the antimicrobial agent trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) on the pharmacokinetic properties of the antiretroviral drug zidovudine (ZDV).
DESIGN: This single dose, open label, crossover study involved the oral administration of ZDV (150 mg/m2) alone and in combination with oral TMP/SMX (2.5 mg/kg) on two separate occasions. Serial blood samples (0 to 8 h) were collected, and concentrations of ZDV and its glucuronide metabolite were quantified using a radioimmunoassay. ZDV pharmacokinetics were determined by noncompartmental analysis.
PATIENTS AND SETTING: Six HIV-1 infected children aged four months to five years were recruited from the HIV clinic at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario. Only three patients completed both study phases and were included in the pharmacokinetic analysis.
MAIN RESULTS: With TMP/SMX therapy, no statistically significant changes were observed in ZDV pharmacokinetic parameters. However, there was a trend towards increased ZDV half-life and area under the concentration versus time curve, as well as decreased apparent oral clearance. Similarly, a trend towards an increased half-life of the ZDV-glucuronide metabolite was also observed.
CONCLUSION: The changes in ZDV pharmacokinetics in the presence of TMP/SMX did not reach statistical significance, most likely due to the limited number of patients involved. Despite the limited data, a possible interaction between ZDV and TMP/SMX in young HIV-1 infected children should be considered, and patients may require close clinical monitoring.

A pie you can toast — but please, don't drink and drive
What do Jaw-Jacker (Arcadia Ales), Belgian Pumpkin Porter (Bastone Brewery), Lil's Grumpkin Pumpkin Ale (Dragonmead), La Parcells (Jolly Pumpkin), Ichabod (New Holland Brewing), North Cass Community Garden Pumpkin Ale (Motor City Brewing), Funkin Punkin (Short's Brewing), The Candy Snatcher Pumpkin Ale (Waldorff Brewpub) and Screamin' Pumpkin Spice Ale (Michigan Brewing Company) have in common?
They are all autumnal seasonal beers made with real pumpkin and a dash of autumn spice — typically the combination of spices associated with a freshly-baked pumpkin pie.
Think of it as pumpkin pie in a 12-ounce bottle — cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice paired with hops and malty flavors, bring out the flavors and aromas reminiscent of the fall season.
Overall, Michigan ranks number six nationwide in the number of breweries, microbreweries and brewpubs found across the state.

Speaking of pie — you be the judge
Several groups, organizations and pie lovers have laid claim over the years to having baked the world's largest pumpkin pie, but most Web sites now agree the folks at New Bremen, Ohio, are the undisputed mammoth pumpkin pie baking champions.
This year, on Sept. 25, the folks at the New Bremen Pumpkinfest created a 3,699-pound pumpkin pie. Ingredients included 1,212 pounds of pumpkin, 119 gallons of evaporated milk, 2,796 eggs, 7 pounds of salt, 17.5 pounds of spices and 525 pound of sugar.
The finished product was 20 feet in diameter and broke the previous record, set by who else? The good folks from New Bremen, whose personal best prior to last month's monster pie was a paltry 2,020 pounds of pure pumpkin bliss.
Bring on the Cool Whip — preferably the 55 gallon drum-sized barrels of the creamy nondairy topping.

Gourd award
New Richmond, Wis., resident Chris Stevens has one heck of a pumpkin on his hands.
The 32-year-old contractor is the proud farmer of a 1,810-pound pumpkin, weighed Oct. 9 at the Stillwater Harvest Festival. His super squash bested the official world-record holder by 85 pounds, grown last year in Ohio by Christy Harp.
His secret, Stevens told ABC station WISN, is a precise mixture of sun, rain, manure, fish emulsion and seaweed. We here at Nuggets of Knowledge were startled to find out those are some of the same ingredients found in our morning bowl of bran flakes, which explains our recent weight gain.
So what do you do with a giant pumpkin? Make it into a boat, of course. Goffstown, N.H., hosts an annual Pumpkin Regatta, where 1,000-pound pumpkins are hollowed out, decorated and paddled by participants. Pumpkins generally make unstable boats and are difficult to maneuver. Luckily, most pumpkin captains don watermelon life preservers beforehand.

Ready, aim, fire!
Pumpkin chucking is a tradition among physics students at Gaylord High School. Last year, students in Theresa Collins' physics class and Mike Rinke's conceptual physics class split into teams and designed, built and tested an array of machines whose single task is to throw pumpkins as far as possible.
Trebuchets, catapults and air cannons do the trick, lobbing bowling ball-size pumpkins more than 100 yards downrange at the GHS soccer practice fields.
This year will be no different. Eric Poynter, who took over teaching physics this year, plans to let the pumpkins fly around the end of October or first week of November. He will accept donations of pumpkin ammunition and is looking for bowling ball-size gourds in the 2- to 3-pound range. He can be reached at the school.
The students' trebuchets and catapults are modeled after medieval siege machines and their throwing arms can tower 10 feet or more. Last year's pneumatic cannon used compressed air to fire pumpkins — and, in one instance, a stuffed Snoopy head — downrange.

Move over 'A Charlie Brown Christmas'
It's October; the season of ghosts and goblins, trick or treating and somewhere, on some channel "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" will be coming to a television near you.
First broadcast on Oct. 27, 1966, on CBS, the Peanuts gang celebrates Halloween while Lucy's younger brother, Linus Van Pelt, hunkers down in the most sincere pumpkin patch imaginable in hopes of catching a glimpse of the Great Pumpkin.
Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanut's gang take a bit of a backseat in this animated adventure, giving way to Linus who charms Charlie's sister, Sally Brown, into joining him in awaiting the arrival of the Great Pumpkin.
This was the third prime time animated television special based on the comic strip "Peanuts" by Charles M. Schulz.
The climax, or anti-climax, comes when Linus mistakes Snoopy's shadow, dressed up in his World War I flying ace persona, for the Great Pumpkin rising from the pumpkin patch and promptly faints.
Sally, understandably upset about missing out on "tricks-or-treats" to hang with Linus, threatens to sue the Great Pumpkin believer and exits, stage left, with the rest of the Peanut's gang.
