Splash Mountain
April 20, 2012
When I was in sixth grade or so (only a couple of years post-diagnosis), my family went to Disney World. We wanted to go on Splash Mountain, and I was super nervous but also excited. I really wanted to ride it but I was new to roller coasters and I had no idea what to expect. I kept getting part way through the line and then needing to use the bathroom and ducking out, then getting to the bathroom only to find it was a false urge. It mast have happened three times. I gave up for the day and we went back to the hotel.
I finally managed to ride Splash Mountain the next day. But it was a huge struggle, for such a little thing.
Most people's is probably like this, but my Crohn's keys in on stress so strongly. I hate that the hardest part of my life gets worse when everything else is hard. It's like, "Oh, your life is hard right now? Let's go ahead and make it even harder."
My belly hates me.
April 20, 2012
I have not been kind to myself. Not that I really could have, unless I somehow happened to get really lucky and just fall into a job and an apartment. Schoolwork I can handle. Schoolwork plus grownup stuff, all at the same time with zero experience to back me up? Not so much.
This is crunch time for me, with graduation looming in slightly more than four weeks. I have finally finished the paper from a year ago that was stressing me out so hard, just in time to have to start my apartment search. I have won all these awards for school; I'm the "outstanding classics major" of this year's graduating class, I'll be graduating Magna Cum Laude, and I am about to be inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. I keep acing all my tests, even when I don't study as much as one would hope. Basically, I win at being a student. (Year-long paper experience not withstanding.) But then throw job hunting and apartment hunting (neither of which is easy in this economy, especially not for someone who sucks at it) into the mix, and there goes my ability to function and treat myself well.
I had a second interview for a job on Monday that went really well.This was very lucky, because basically nobody else was calling me back, and those who did had already decided not to hire me, apparently. But I adored this job, and all the people I met at the company, and the fact that it came with a solid salary. Then I spent the rest of the week in a constant state of nausea because I was so nervous to hear back. I stopped eating properly, which just made it worse. Cue vicious cycle. Today I called back to check on progress, and found out I didn't get the job. Which sent me further into digestive purgatory. I managed to get in a second cup of coffee before realizing (two minutes before I was supposed to leave to view apartments) that I hadn't actually eaten any food at all. So I gulped down some yogurt before running out the door. Between apartments, we stopped at a Dunkin Donuts for (another) coffee and a donut.
And that's all I've eaten today. Three cups of coffee, a donut, and a yogurt. But my belly doesn't want me to eat anything else.
I don't know what is going to happen now but this can't continue. Something has got to give, so I can maybe focus on only one horrifyingly difficult life-changing task at a time. Then maybe I can start eating like I'm a person again and not feeling nauseous all the time.
Page Turn
January 31, 2012
Once again, I've managed to stop blogging entirely for months at a stretch (I've been on Twitter, but haven't felt equal to a full length blog post). While I'm glad to report a vast improvement as of today, last semester was probably the most stressful of my life (to put that in perspective, the previous semester saw an evacuation from Egypt and a very painful two months of seminars to "replace" the priceless abroad experience we were supposed to be having). I did the bare minimum to keep afloat in class and at work, and spent the rest of my time sleeping or watching videos on Netflix, because that was all I could manage. I kept trying to push myself to get back up on my feet, but finally realized that I was only wearing myself out. I decided to pick one and only one thing to do every day. Often, that one thing was to take a walk. During the week it was to go to class. One day, I decided to go to the library. I got out of bed and put my clothes on, but before I got my shoes on I began to feel lightheaded and had to get back in bed. So that day my one thing became "get dressed". That was the low point. In mid-December I made the very difficult decision to quit my Thesis, which cost me the "honors" part of my degree. That same week I begged a professor for some sort of extension on a research paper that was long overdue, and she gave me all the time I need. I could not have been more grateful for how supportive people were of me, when I felt I was letting them all down.
On November 11th I started Remicade. I had to get a bunch of blood tests and immunizations before I could start, but I finally got it. It helped a little, more with each dose, but it was by no means the miracle everybody said it should be. I had almost no energy, still, was getting very frequent headaches, and by December my appetite was gone (and when I did try to eat, I would get nauseous and stop). I was finally weighed in late December at a doctor's appointment, and it turned out I had lost 8 pounds since September without realizing it. That day my nurse decided to double my Remicade dose, along with prescribing Omeprazole for the nausea and increasing my Lomotil. She brought up a dietitian to go through my diet with me and figure out how to get the most out of each meal (if I could only convince myself to eat once each day, I might as well get the most out of that one meal), and what to eat that wouldn't make me feel so awful. Finally, things started to get better.
By New Year's Day, I noticed that I had turned a page. I was running to the bathroom far less frequently, I could eat a little more, and my energy levels were higher. The headaches were going away. When I came back home after the holidays (a very needed 3 week vacation at my parents' house) I felt well rested and ready to start getting back to my life. I didn't dread the idea of going to work, for the first time in months. I can do more than one thing every day.
I'm only two weeks into my final semester at NYU, but already it's going so much better than the last one. I am part time, only taking the minimum credits required to graduate, and I haven't taken up any more hours at work. This means I am only in class three days a week and working two; they seem fond of putting me on for Sunday and Monday night shifts, so my week starts Sunday afternoon and lasts through Wednesday, leaving Thursday through Saturday entirely for me. I've been spending the time working on my resume and cover letter, and working on my (mercifully extended) research paper. I'm back to sewing again (my very kind sister has waited almost six months for me to get to work on her trench coat). I'm still sleeping and watching Netflix a good deal, but it doesn't happen overnight.
I have an appointment with my doctor on Thursday, and two weeks after that is my next infusion. I hope that will help even more.
My best to all of you.
Deep Breath
September 28, 2011
Since I last posted, I've not been feeling my best. Despite everyone's best efforts to lift my spirits* etc., etc., the fact is that I seem to have stressed myself into a real live flare, and it isn't going away just because I'm starting to process this new information. It makes itself worse, because I'm too wiped out to do any of the things I need to do (never mind the things I want to do, haven't been to the gym since August), but then I have to do them anyway which just fatigues and stresses me more, so that the next day I want to get up and go to class and work even less.
*A big shout out to my roommate, my parents, my sister, my manager, and very good friend from home. Thanks so much for your support, you guys make it so much easier.
One quick solution to this is that I've cut my hours at work to only two shifts a week. Besides the obvious "more time to rest," I also get a few days in between shifts, so I don't have to deal with the stress of many days in a row where I feel like I just left when I have to come back. This is helping. I now have far fewer days where I don't get to come home from dawn until long after dusk (like normal), and this is really much nicer.
Even so it hasn't fixed everything and I'm still feeling pretty bad. Yesterday I went to my voice lesson and explained what was going on to my teacher, who really got how much this was affecting me and decided to tone down the intensity of what I'm working on. The awful thing is how offended I got when she told me she had an easier song for me, with less ornamentation, that wouldn't be as difficult to learn and sing. How dare she think I couldn't do the harder song! But she's right. I need a break. I want to sing, but it isn't helping to push myself so hard. My pride and drive to be good at simply everything are normally what push me to keep improving myself, but now they're working against me. I hate to say "I can't," but right now I can't do all the things I want to do. I can't read all the Greek and learn all the history and work out every day and teach myself to sight read right now.
So I'm going to try to be good to myself. Do what I have to to stay afloat in school and at work without sacrificing my health. I keep telling myself that once the colonoscopy is done, once I get my meds sorted out, it will all be better and I'll be able to be myself and do everything again. And I really really hope that turns out to be true.
Paradigm Shift
September 19, 2011
Now that my weekend of self pity has come to an end, it's time to get back on the blogging horse. I've been MIA since December for a number of reasons, chief among them that I was abroad in Egypt* and then traveling until the end of June. These travels are documented at One if by Camel, Two if by Carpet. One blog is really all this girl can handle. After that I'll be honest and say it was just lack of motivation.
*A word to the wise: you will get Pharaoh's revenge if you go to Egypt. This is not fun when you already have Crohn's.
When I finally got back to New York and tried to get my prescriptions transferred over here (always a hassle and a half) I found out that I had managed to go almost a year without seeing my GI and they couldn't keep prescribing me immunosuppressants without checking in and getting some bloodwork. Oops. Unfortunate side effect of traveling for six months. I've been meaning to switch to an adult GI in New York for a while now but never quite gotten around to it because the pediatrics hadn't bothered kicking me out and I could always schedule my appointments for school breaks. But I'm not back in Boston until probably Thanksgiving, so this time I had to switch.
I had an appointment for the morning of September 14th, but apparently they switched the doctor's schedule and didn't bother to tell me, so when I showed up it was "your appointment is tomorrow, Miss Flowers." What?? Really now. And to make it worse, they didn't own up to having messed up. The girl just kept explaining to me how the schedule had been changed like I was too stupid to understand, and not like they had forgotten to call and ask if I could even make the new time. It happened could make it, and it was even a more convenient time for me, but I had already worked my whole day around the old time! I finally got the girl to tell me that the secretary was supposed to have called me but must have forgotten, which is fine. Annoying, but humans make mistakes, which I am happy to be understanding about. Just don't pretend you were totally in the right.
When I finally got to see the doctor I was much happier. The reception was a disaster, but he (and his two associates I spoke to before him, I can only assume they were junior staff or something) seemed more than competent. I was really happy that they listened to my current case, said "you shouldn't be living like that" and decided to shoot for symptom free. My old doctor never seemed to see symptom free as a goal. He wanted to make it better, but he was happy to settle for just a little better. The new guy wants it to be totally better.
But with that came the realization that my case is worse than I thought. I have an average of 7 bowel movements per day, at least one of which almost always wakes me up in the middle of the night. My appetite is patchy, and I never feel like I've gotten the proper nutrition out of the food I eat. I feel tired all the time. I have flares every couple of months but even in between I never feel really good. My old doctor never seemed too concerned, and since Crohn's isn't life-threatening, I just resigned myself to having to deal with this. I thought of it as being mild, compared to people with "real diseases", and I really thought this was what well controlled Crohn's was supposed to be like. I have problems, but everybody poops. I just do it more and it sucks harder. The new doctor told me he'd consider my case moderate to severe and doesn't think it's well controlled at all. He doesn't accept that I should "just deal with this" like I've been doing.
And, higher expectations for where I can get to means more aggressive treatment, which scares me a lot. There's a lot that I didn't know (possibly because they don't talk as much about the scary stuff in pediatrics?) about other risks as the disease goes on (I'm coming up on the 12 year mark now). Fistulas, cysts, colon cancer, all that stuff. I knew I needed a colonoscopy soon, but apparently now I'll need one every 1-2 years instead of every 5. And they have to biopsy to check for early stage colon cancer.
And apparently, I've basically taken everything you can take before it becomes time to move on to Remicade or Humira. I have been so against these ever since I heard about them a few years back because that's serious business, and my Crohn's is really not that huge a deal. I don't have the kind of disease where you have to go in to the hospital just to get your routine medications (or yes, I know you can inject Remicade at home, but I don't like that either). Apparently though, I do have that kind of disease (unless bumping up my 6-MP dose is enough on its own, which the doctors don't seem super hopeful for) so now I have to start seriously considering the possibility of going on the serious business drugs.
But first is the colonoscopy, so they can see exactly what's going on, what the level of inflammation is, etc. October 11, 1pm. My dear mother is coming down to the city to make sure I'm okay afterwards (last time my legs cramped up for the whole evening, apparently a reaction to the anesthesia), and I've been forbidden by my roommate to go to class the next day.
All this has been really hard for me to hear, and consequently I spent the entire weekend, as I said, in one big pity party. I've been sewing like a madwoman to take the edge off, but it's been really rough. As soon as the doctor told me I'm not doing as well as I thought I started feeling like a sick person. Nothing has changed other than my perception of my disease, but I feel physically much worse. This must be what they mean when they talk about the placebo effect. Your body physically manifests what your brain thinks is going on. So now I feel awful. Working is a huge burden, and I'm more tired than ever. I've been trying to take some time to myself to adjust and heal, or whatever, but it's hard when I have so many things I'm supposed to be doing, including social interactions, which are just stressing me out at this point. I just wish I could take a week off and get it together.
Super long winded post today, but there was a lot to say. A couple questions before I leave you.
Has anybody taken Remicade or Humira, or know about them, who can tell me about it? Should I be worried? Are there side effects, a rough adjustment period, etc.? Does it really work as well as the doctor says it will? Should I get a second opinion before starting this?
Anybody have great ideas for "low residue" meals I can make for the week before my colonoscopy? Or good clear liquids for the day before (I know it's impossible to make a meal out of this)?
I hope all of you are doing well.
Professor Gregory House, M.D.
December 20, 2010
I'm in the middle of a flair, I think. Comes and goes. Last night and this morning were rough.
I had a dream. In my dream Dr. House was my professor. I do not think that I was in class, exactly, but I was certainly under the supervision of a T.A. at the time. This T.A. was on a power trip, I suppose, and told me I was not allowed to go to the bathroom (when does this happen in real life? Not often.). So, I ran to Dr. House and told him how his T.A. was being horribly insensitive towards my condition, and to get him to behave properly. Dr. House seemed somewhat sardonically amused by the situation and told off the T.A., at which point I went off to the bathroom, where they had curtains instead of stall doors. Then something like the apocalypse occurred, we all started running out of the bathrooms, and I woke up.
My subconscious really likes to tell people off. I would be righteously indignant a lot more often in real life if I could think of something cleverly demeaning to say on the spot to make the person understand how much worse of a human being they are than I, but realistically I usually only think of what I would have said an hour or so later.
Good and Bad
November 6, 2010
I few days ago I had a couple of pretty bad Crohn's days. But, I realized, they were only bad compared to how good it's been. For at least this semester, I've been very consistently sleeping through the night, and on the maybe 3 nights I've had to wake up to go to the bathroom, it's been once and only once. Time was I would be up several times a night, every night. I had a very predictable wake-up call 2 hours before I wanted to get up, courtesy of Crohn's, and other less predictable ones throughout the rest of the night. So when I was awoken the other night, I was highly disgruntled. But only because I wasn't used to it anymore, which I can only count as a blessing.
Also, here's something weird I've noticed: My Crohn's is much, much more active while I'm at home than while I'm at school or at work. I haven't tested it far enough to figure out if it's actually home versus out, or if it's morning (when I'm usually home) versus day (usually out) versus night (usually home). But it's very noticeable. I don't usually have to jump up in the middle of class, and I usually only leave my chair at the library once per 4 hour sitting. Sometimes I only have to use the bathroom once in a whole 7-12 hour day (not usually but sometimes). But then I get home, and it hits me over and over and over. Maybe I'm less careful about what I eat when I'm home? Maybe I have less of an incentive to hold it? Maybe I psych myself out fight-or-flight style so that the system slows down when I'm away from my own bathroom? I really couldn't say.

I've not done much feting this Carnival season.
Also it's the first year in ever that i collected on the absolute LAST day of collection!
This year as well, I am feeling seriously unorganised...so unlike my usual well-prepared self.
Let's see:
- Costume - check
- Tuesday Boots - check
- Wearing Monday - who knows?!!
- Shoes for Monday - again...who knows?!
- Bag - uhmmm nope
- sunblock and vital supplies - again...nope
- stockings - check
So, there's lots to secure tomorrow in order to get ready for the road Monday/Tuesday.
Otherwise the Carnival season has consisted of:
- ONE Fete
- HNC's Vintage Fuh So!
- Kerwin and Friends @ Zen
- Soca in B Square
- Army
- Different
- Caesar's Army AMbush
I am very happy and ultra hyped to be on the road, especially since I didn't play last year!
I'll do mini reviews of the events and the Carnival experience in subsequent posts.

De Sousa, R, C Thurier, C Len, Y Pouilloux, J Barrault and F. Jérôme. 2011. Regioselective functionalization of glycerol with a dithiocarbamate moiety: an environmentally friendly route to safer fungicides. Green Chemistry http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/c1gc15053g.
Jul 07, 2011
A new approach devised by chemists promises to clean up the dirty business of making and using fungicides. The approach relies on a naturally-available source material called glycerol instead of the traditional metal-releasing compounds used today.
Fungicides kill or inhibit growth of molds, mildew and other fungi. Their use on food crops by the agricultural industry is omnipresent and has increased fourfold during the last 50 years. In 2007, fungicides accounted for $33 billion in sales.
With the growing population and the increased strain on food resources, the use of fungicides is set to continue to increase. This new work is a big step toward reducing the environmental impacts associated with producing and using the pesticides. It also opens the door to making other chemicals with the same starting chemical – the naturally-occurring glycerol.
Fungicides are generally prepared as water-soluble salts – in chemistry, salts are a products made up of a positively and a negatively charged molecule that form the neutral salt. The salt products used for fungicide production also contain metals that contaminate soils, rivers and underground water. In addition, the breakdown products can be highly toxic.
It is thus very important to prepare safer fungicides through environmentally friendly processes.
A recent study published in the journal Green Chemistry reports a possible way to make safer, water-soluble fungicides without metal salts. The chemists describe making a specific class of fungicides – called dithiocarbamates – using a previously reported method that relies on glycerol instead of the salts. Glycerol forms part of plant oil molecules and is used as a sweetener and low fat filler in food and as a thickener in liqueur. It is also used in a variety of pharmaceutical and personal care products such as toothpaste, soap, mouthwash and cough syrup.
It turns out, the process is more efficient and potentially cheaper than current methods. The chemical pathway releases only ethanol and CO2 as waste. All sulphur and nitrogen in the reactants was included in the final material, which is a major achievement. In addition, the researchers were able to scale up their process to produce larger quantities at one time.
The success of fungicides derived from this method is being tested in field studies on sunflower, wheat and soy crops. These studies will decide the real impact that this work can make on safer fungicide production.

(928) 704-2222
2494 South Hwy 95
Directions Bullhead City, AZ 86442
The Ram 1500 is an enjoyable truck to drive and comfortable for long drives. It rides smoothly and steers well, benefitting from responsive electric steering. Performance and driving character are, of course, affected by equipment choices.
The 3.0-liter diesel is the fuel efficiency champion, with an EPA rating of 20/29 mpg City/Highway. The turbocharged diesel generates 240 horsepower, but more important, it produces 420 foot-pounds of torque, that force that propels the truck up hills while pulling a trailer. A Ram with the diesel can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 8 seconds, according to Ram, which reports tow ratings up to 9,200 pounds. It is quiet for a diesel, with just a faint clatter that is pleasing to the ear of diesel lovers. As always with diesels, it is a pricey option.
The 3.6-liter V6 engine is the standard engine and a popular choice for drivers who need a pickup bed to haul but want good fuel economy. Using Regular 87-octane gasoline, the V6 is EPA-rated at 17/25 mpg City/Highway, or 16/23 mpg with four-wheel drive. The V6 generates 305 horsepower and 269 foot-pounds of torque. It will haul a load without much effort, though it sounds a bit strained at higher rpm. The V6 is rated to tow up to 6,500 pounds but is not the best choice for owners who tow anything heavier than a bass boat. The 8-speed automatic works well with this engine.
The 5.7-liter V8 generates 395 hp and 407 foot-pounds of torque, growling enthusiastically at full throttle. Ram says it is capable of launching the truck from a standstill to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds. The V8 is the best choice for towing, offering a rating as high as 10,650 pounds in some configurations. We recommend a Ram Heavy Duty for anyone regularly pulling heavy trailers, however. It makes sense to have a healthy margin between your truck's towing capacity and the fully loaded weight of your trailer.
Four-wheel drive is available. Part-time 4WD is the standard setup, but an on-demand AWD system is available with V8s. The former is generally better for rugged terrain, the latter is generally better for snow, ice and inconsistent road conditions.
* The advertised price does not include sales tax, vehicle registration fees, other fees required by law, finance charges and any documentation charges. A negotiable administration fee, up to $115, may be added to the price of the vehicle.
* Images, prices, and options shown, including vehicle color, trim, options, pricing and other specifications are subject to availability, incentive offerings, current pricing and credit worthiness.

Geek Speak: Downton Puppy
I gave myself a bit of a break...not a break from drawing the comic, but we'll get to that, a break from having to draw that fucking tutu. The idea of a dog in a tutu who communicates with a human is still funny to me, but I am really looking forward to the day that Wuffles takes the thing off.
To the guys out there, have you ever gone to the bathroom at work and had someone you work with take the next spot and start talking to you? I hate that. It's a bit of a pet peeve, really. When I'm in the bathroom I'm there to do one thing. I'm on a mission. Get in. Get done. Get out. I'm not there to discuss a project, talk about your weekend, or chat about how fucking amazing your new car is. Every so often I'll hear a guy doing his business in a stall next to me while talking on the phone. Seriously? Whatever it is you're talking about can't wait five goddamn minutes? Pro tip: don't call me if you're using the bathroom at the same time. I will hang up on you.
I have to imagine it's similarly awkward when someone's trying to talk with you while you're in the shower .You're trying to enjoy one of life's greatest little pleasures and someone outside is trying to get you to make decisions about something. Here's a decision. I'm going to finish my shower. It will take five minutes, another five for me to be presentable again. Go outside and wait for me. Play Angry Birds, just leave me the hell alone when I'm doing something in the bathroom.
The shower rule doesn't apply to spouses. In most cases if my wife starts a conversation with me while I'm in the shower my thought process is something along the lines of, "how do I get her in here with me."
There are exceptions to everything.
Taking a Break, a Computer Break, 'Cause my Computer Broke
So I did end up taking a longer break from the strip than I would have liked. Sorry about that. I'll lay out the whole calamitous saga here.
Microsoft recently did something with Windows that is unprecedented in its history. Truly, they arrived at a new milestone. They offered a free upgrade to Windows 10 to people already running Windows 7 or Windows 8. Awesome. That's how it should be. If you already have the operating system you should be able to upgrade to the latest operating system without paying some bullshit arbitrary premium (I'm looking at you, Apple). Under most circumstances I'm a Microsoft skeptic. They've had a couple of big winners like Windows 7. It's great. It's stable. It make sense, and it doesn't get in its own way trying to do everything for you. Microsoft has also had some serious turkeys like Windows ME, Windows Vista, and Microsoft Bob (which wasn't very useful, but was kind of cute).
Windows 10 was different. It had undergone a rigorous beta period. It was built out of the mistakes of Windows 8 (what do you mean you're doing away with the "start" button?). It was taking design cues from other modern operating systems that were starting to steal its lunch money. I signed up to be one of the first in line to get the update, and installed it as soon as it was available for me.
I made a huge mistake.
Windows 10 gave me nothing but trouble after it was installed. The first sign of trouble was it wouldn't let me use my usual Microsoft account credentials. It would only accept one of my other Microsoft accounts, which I entered without thinking anything of it and without trying to force it to take the one I actually use. Clearly I had not done enough homework. OneDrive is heavily integrated into the Windows 10 experience, and using the wrong credentials meant I had to figure out a way to force Microsoft to sync OneDrive, and everything else in Windows 10 that's driven by your Microsoft Account, with the account I actually use.
That was child's play. It gets better.
The next bit of Microsoft fuckery was when I tried to open one of my files to edit the contents only to be told that I didn't have permission. To be clear. Microsoft was not letting me save a file I created because it was in read-only mode and I didn't have permission to make changes. Thus began a quest to recover my lost permissions and thereby save my computer from an abrupt end after a short but exciting trip off the top of a tall building. There was nothing, and I mean nothing, even remotely helpful on any of Microsoft's resources. I eventually found the answer on a CNET forum buried under a bunch of bloated, Cheetos-fingered assholes geek-shaming people coming to the forum for solutions.
It was a seriously arcane process of sharing it with myself and then applying permissions across the whole folder.
Now that I was able to actually open and save my files it was time to get down to work and start drawing some cartoons right? That's what I thought, too.
When I powered up Autodesk Sketchbook Pro to start the rendering work on the comic strip you see above, I discovered Microsoft had given me yet another gift-wrapped package of dogshit. The cross-hairs used to guide the brush on screen were offset by three or four pixels. You'd think that would be something you could learn to compensate for, right. Again, that's what I thought! No! You can't compensate for that shit! It's not consistent. The cross-hairs would be offset by a pixel or three going top to bottom, almost completely aligned when drawing down and to the left, and way the fuck out of whack when drawing down and to the right. You would have to constantly be adjusting for an offset of between three and up to something like eight or ten pixels. There may be some mathematical genius freak of nature who can do that on the fly. I am not a freak of nature.
So I started looking for alternatives. I found a good one in a piece of software I had tried so long ago I'd almost forgotten about it. The open source drawing and painting program, Gimp. It got me limping along and I was making some progress when I got yet another little turd flavored treat. One night, after wrestling with Gimp and making slow, but discernible progress I went to turn off my computer only to have it go "click" and then shut off.
"Huh," I thought tiredly, "that's weird." It had been a long day of pushing boulders up hills only to be nearly crushed as they overcame me and rolled downhill, forcing me to start all over again. As per my usual I probably already had a small glass of bourbon or two in me, and I was in no mood to be troubleshooting my home rig.
The next day I got home and I went to power up my computer and it turned on, but loaded a black screen with white text bearing the words of my near-undoing "disc read error." That basically means your hard drive is in great shape to get you a few bucks at the nearest recycling center, and not much else. I tried a few different things but none of them worked. The hard drive was, as they say in the biz, kaput.
To understand the true scope of what this means to me. Imagine you could turn your dreams and aspirations into a fluid; a pretty, pearlescent liquid substance that catches the light and throws the beauty of your best self in rainbows across the room.
You put that in a glass pitcher so you can put it where it will catch the best light.
Then you accidentally drop the pitcher. It breaks and you watch your dreams spread across the floor in an unrecoverable mess.
That's kind of what it felt like.
At the top of the list of things at risk with a hard drive failure on this computer are thousands and thousands of photos of my kids taken by wife, pretty much starting with the day we brought our daughter home.
Then there is every comic strip I have ever drawn, plus hundreds of other sketches and drawings. For the most part I have all of those in hard copy, so they're recoverable, even if it would be a huge undertaking.
Then many, many things either I've written or my wife has written that we would never get back.
The story has a happy ending. After a few weeks I was able to buy a new hard drive and an adapter that would allow me to connect the old, defunct hard drive to the computer by USB. I installed the new hard drive and reinstalled good old, stable, dependable Windows 7. Then the moment of truth. I hooked up the adapter to the old hard drive and connected it by USB to the computer. I heard it spin, and Windows 7, good old Windows 7, picked it up as an external drive and I was able to find and recover everything. There was still some work to do to make sure I had permission to open the files, but once I'd given ownership to the new device everything was golden.
I even downloaded a trial version of Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. It will cost twenty five dollars a year to keep it, but it got me back to being productive again.
Lesson learned. As soon as I get paid again I'm paying for backblaze.com to back up my files.
I also discovered a couple of solid, free drawing programs, Gimp (technically I rediscovered Gimp, but whatever) and Krita. Both are seriously powerful with a wealth of features, and I'll continue to play around with them.
So it hasn't all been bad.
Oh and, hey, I'm back!

Digital artist Lan Lan has been playing with the fish bones of the UCL collection to create a series of phantom creatures
Now the latest art exhibition at the museum is exploring the relationship between nature and its representations via the work of emerging artist Lan Lan, who manipulates original fish bone sculptures to create contemporary phantom creatures.
Using 21st century digital techniques the UCL Slade School of Fine Art Graduate, the artist is interested in the relationship between natural history and its contemporary interventions and has fond much to explore at the Grant.
"The journey my works have taken has been really unexpected," says Lan. "In a way it's like an accelerated evolutionary process. Placing the visuals among the museum's collections really emphasises the abstraction of the works."
Many of the artworks, which have been digitally reworked from a variety of sculpted materials including mercury, dried herbal conk mask, bugle beads and fish bone, have the appearance of the sea slugs and worms in the resident collection.
As you might imagine, the parallels between a Victorian collection of skeletons, skulls and specimens in jars and the virtual sculptures of a 21st century artist are as bounteous as the ocean that inspired them.
Subnature runs until July 19 2014. Open 1–5pm (closed Sunday). Admission free.

Orioles outfielder Nolan Reimold turned in the most successful outing of his rehab stint Wednesday as he continues his return from a hamstring injury that's sidelined him since May 11.
Reimold went 3-for-6 with one run scored and a strikeout in Double-A Bowie's 7-4 win over Richmond. Reimold entered the afternoon 2-for-27 in his assignment, which has now lasted nine games.
"I may find out that they were a swinging bunt and two duck flairs," manager Buck Showalter said. "I don't know, but I hope that's not the case."
Showalter said Reimold texted Orioles vice president of baseball operations Brady Anderson to tell him the hamstring felt better.
Second baseman Brian Roberts (hamstring) is leading off and starting at second for Triple-A Norfolk in the second game of his rehab assignment Wednesday. Roberts was 2-for-4 in his first game Tuesday, and Showalter said he "couldn't ask for a better day" from Roberts.
Showalter wouldn't put a time table on Roberts and Reimold's returns. Showalter previously said Roberts would need a minimum of three games of rehab, and Reimold was thought to need around seven games before returning.
"I don't have enough information to handicap [their returns]," Showalter said. "It could happen, but I don't expect to see both of them back this weekend. I hope I'm wrong."
** Showalter still wouldn't commit to a Friday starter Wednesday and said he needed to see how things went with the bullpen against the Indians. He did say that rookie right-hander Kevin Gausman is an option for the Orioles.
"I think we've got a pretty good idea," Showalter said.
** Left-hander Wei-Yin Chen (oblique) threw Wednesday, and Showalter said it went well. His next appearance is still slated to be a rehab assignment Saturday, probably at Double-A Bowie, where he will throw five or six innings.
"The question is what happens after that," Showalter said. "I hope that's the only question."
** Infielder Jonathan Schoop, rated as the Orioles' top position player prospect, began hitting Wednesday. He hasn't played since May 12 because of a stress fracture in his lower back.
** Right-hander Steve Johnson (oblique) threw from 90 feet Wednesday, upping his distance from 70 feet.
** Double-A Bowie outfielder Henry Urrutia and High-A Frederick left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez were named to the World team in the All-Star Futures Game to be played Sunday, July 14 at Citi Field. Urrutia is batting .366 with seven home runs and 35 RBIs. Rodriguez is 6-4 with a 2.85 ERA in 14 starts for the Keys.
Tonight's lineups:
Indians: Bourn 8, Cabrera 6, Kipnis 4, Swisher 3, Brantley 7, Giambi DH, Gomes 2, Chisenhall 5, Stubbs 9; Kazmir 1
Orioles: Markakis 9, Machado 5, Jones 8, Davis 3, Wieters 2, Hardy 6, McLouth 7, Valencia DH, Casilla 4; Hammel 1

Hallstar, a specialty chemistry company based in Chicago, has announced the acquisition of bioactive ingredient supplier Oléos.
Located in Montpellier, France, Oléos's proprietary oleo eco-extraction technology produces 100 percent natural, sustainable and clinically proven bioactive compounds for cosmetic applications including anti-aging qualities, dark spot diminishment and skin whitening.
"Oléos's unique capabilities and technology will enhance Hallstar's technology platform with patented, clinically proven natural active ingredients for beauty and personal care," said John Paro, chairman, president and CEO of Hallstar.
"As we grow our global footprint, the south of France puts us at the heart of cosmetic innovation. Further, with Oléos, we add a strong team and culture that fits the Hallstar brand."
"The south of France, with its access to plentiful natural resources and proximity to major customers, has been an ideal place to grow our business over the last seven years," said Anne Rossignol-Castera, president of Oléos. "By joining the Hallstar team, we ensure that access to these natural resources for cosmetic brands can be provided, as bioactive ingredients, on a global scale. Additionally, Hallstar's formulated solutions capabilities provide the perfect vehicle to globalize Oléos's ingredients."
Oléos's bioactives line promises to help Hallstar meet growing consumer demand for high-efficacy, all-natural products. Simultaneously meeting these demands is a challenge, but Oléos has succeeded by eco-extracting active ingredients of high purity and yield — without the use of organic solvents and other pollutants — in a way that is ecologically sustainable. Its deep expertise in lipids, vegetable oils and anti-oxidants will create new synergies with Hallstar's extensive knowledge in ester chemistry and naturally sourced ingredients.

Law professor Dershowitz sued in Prince Andrew sex abuse case
Lawyers representing a woman who has alleged Prince Andrew and Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz had sex with her when she was a minor have sued Dershowitz for defamation.
The lawyers have accused law professor Dershowitz of mounting a media assault on their reputation and character.
The lawsuit, filed in Florida state court in Broward County, seeks unspecified monetary damages from Dershowitz.
The development came a day after Dershowitz began legal proceedings to clear his name.
In a court document filed Monday, Dershowitz claimed University of Utah law professor Paul Cassell and Florida attorney Bradley Edwards created a media firestorm by making "categorically false" and" contemptible" allegations that he had engaged in sexual contact with a minor .
On Tuesday, Cassell and Edwards fired back with a defamation suit against Dershowitz, alleging he had initiated a "massive public media assault" on their reputations and characters by falsely accusing them of unethical behavior that warrants disbarment.
Both Buckingham Palace and Dershowitz have repeatedly denied the claims.
The former Harvard law professor has asked for his name to be removed from court documents which accuse him and Prince Andrew of having sexual relations with Virginia Roberts, known in court as Jane Doe #3, who was under the age of consent in the US at the time of the alleged incidents.
In media interviews, Dershowitz accused Ms Roberts' lawyers, Paul Cassell and Bradley Edwards, of "unethical" behaviour warranting disbarment.
The pair claimed their reputations had been damaged by such comments and that they were seeking damages.
In response, Dershowitz said he was "thrilled" to be sued as it would give him an opportunity to disprove the two.
A few days back, Buckingham Palace issued second statement denying the allegations that Prince Andrew had any sexual relations with the minor.

Book Description
Daryl Johnston's name and voice are known to millions of television viewers who hear his insightful commentary on NFL telecasts each week during the football season. But football fans first learned to love him years ago, when "Moose" was a crowd favorite on the Dallas Cowboys' Super Bowl championship teams of the 1990s.
A bruising fullback with an unyielding work ethic, Johnston enjoyed the respect of teammates and fans in Dallas almost from the moment he joined the club as a second-round draft pick out of Syracuse in 1989. He earned national recognition in 1993, when he became the first blocking fullback selected to represent the NFC in the annual Pro Bowl game.
Moose's blocking helped the Cowboys win three Super Bowls in four years from 1992 to 1995, and helped pave the way for Dallas running back Emmitt Smith to ascend to the top of the NFL's all-time rushing charts.
Johnston was a thinking man's football player—an athlete determined to get the most out of his abilities by outsmarting his opponent as well as outhitting him. And when he retired from football following the 1999 season, he brought that same competitive edge to his role as a television analyst, first for CBS in 2000, then for Fox Sports since 2001. In 2004, he was teamed with veteran Dick Stockton and former NFL defensive star Tony Siragusa on one of Fox's most popular announcing crews.
Daryl knows that spectators who just follow the football are missing much of the game. We can all see the quarterback hand the ball to the running back, and the linebacker make the tackle. But there are 22 guys in motion on every play. In
Watching Football,
Moose draws upon his playing experience and years of expert analysis on television to bring the entire field into focus. So the next time you tune in an NFL or college game on television, you'll know what's coming—almost before the players do!
About Johnston, Daryl
After earning the respect and admiration of his teammates for his contributions to the Dallas offense,
Daryl "Moose" Johnston
received national recognition for his play in 1993, when he became the first blocking fullback selected to the NFC Pro Bowl team. As the lead blocker for the Cowboys, he helped pave the way for Emmitt Smith to win four NFL rushing titles, and he helped Dallas win three Super Bowls in the 1990s.
Johnston played 11 seasons in Dallas before a neck injury originally suffered in 1997 led to his retirement shortly before training camp in 2000. He immediately became a star analyst in the broadcast booth, first at CBS and, since 2001, for Fox.
Daryl earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Syracuse and is a leading advocate for literacy initiatives.

OK, I will say it: Donovan McNabb is a McCharlatan.
The Philadelphia Eagles sans Terrell Owens are barely watchable and McNabb's play against the Dallas Cowboys this evening further confirmed my suspicions. While T.O. should have been more tactful in his outbursts and bellyaching, ultimately his words carried a lot of truth. McNabb was out of shape in last year's Superbowl. The Eagles care more about maintaining the facade of team unity with McNabb at the helm than winning. If this last point were not true why did coach Reid allow McNabb to re-enter tonight's game for the possession following his interception when he was clearly incapable of truly competing? Backup QB Mike McMahon would have had a better shot at winning the game for them if the coach was not concerned about hurting his star quarterback's feelings.
Terrell Owens is an @ss but he is a great receiver. One must look no farther than last year's Superbowl when T.O. came ready to play despite his doctors' orders. If T.O. ran the Philadelphia Eagles PR or personnel departments I could understand their rationale for suspending then releasing him. He doesn't. What he does do is his job — very well I might add — which is more than I can say for McNabb.
I personally enjoy T.O.'s on- and off-the-field antics and commentary as they make the game more interesting and entertaining. Who among us did not laugh hysterically when he grabbed the pom-poms to cheer his own dominance? Tell me you didn't get a chuckle when he celebrated on the Dallas Cowboys star? Who would classify the Sharpie-in-the-sock autograph moment as anything other than hilarious, unprecedented grandstanding?
I hope T.O. found time to rejoice watching his current, soon-to-be-former team struggle in the closing minutes of the final quarter courtesy of McCharlatan's errant passing.
Yes, T.O. is "a trip" but what is McNabb's excuse?

Given the nature of human nature, it's hard. I'm fed up with the Pine Grove crimewave. Today, the culprit's pic was displayed, the first step in stopping the above. They've made mistakes but that's water over the dam. The editor's a Witchey and they ALWAYS treated me right. They are Christian people and I have christian values and they're trying to catch the thief. I'm sure the pic, people around here know him, will put him away where the flies won't bite him

Last post I caught us up to date on the Playoff picture, that the Jets loss on MNF was my nightmare before Christmas, and I would love a new team as my holiday prezzy. I was also very much looking forward to the game of the year on TNF, the Raiders and Chiefs.
By the powers of the NFL + Twitter, Thursday night meant I could have my nails done, while watching the object of my desire, the Oakland Raiders on my little phone. Technology I cannot live without you.
The Chiefs D made Carr, and all his receiving weapons look like each of them were missing their abilities. I was so impressed. I'm also guilty of not looking much in Travis Kelce's way, the Chiefs chief TE, so I decided to look up his stats. Google informed me Catching Kelce was not something I was not only
yelling telling the Raiders D, but a show on E!
Want to know how much of a reality TV femme I am? Hint, it's next to none.
Football, yes. The Bachelor, no.
In the near future I'll post what I like to answer anyone who asks, what's my favorite position… tight end. They are quite nice, and need to be used more, which lucky for me, have been used in several offenses across the league this season.
It's always a little dull on Saturdays when the college football season has said bye, I'm leaving for another year.
I saved up my hopes for Saturday night , that Lamar Jackson would win the Heisman. When he did, I felt like Clark Griswold after his lights finally turn on.
This glass is to you Heisman voters, Yippee Ki Yay! No really, the glass I poured to honor the Heisman winner Saturday, really was High West's Yippee Ki Yay Whiskey.
Knock, knock…
Who's there? It's Lane. Lame? No Lane. Lame?
Yes, very lame, Lane Kiffin
(autocorrect please… don't stop providing me with endless ideas)
A torched couch by the local Volunteers, in front of his family's home in Knoxville, can't keep Lane away from his head coaching dreams. I'm shaking my head, really trying to undress what it is Lane wants…
I may need to put on a pot of bourbon to help me type through this situation…
Lane provides us an updated persona to associate with #winning.
He's had not one, not two, but three, tres, trois – coveted HC positions.
We've heard the saying, torch your past bridges to light the one in front of you. Lane has done that with perfection… straight to FAU .
It wasn't enough to be the youngest coach in the NFL coaching the Raiders, and later being called a liar by the owner Al Davis. Lane wasn't scared, so he was off to charm Tennessee in the SEC. Once that wasn't working, he chose to leave that one for a more pretty one, named USC. Surprise, surprise that didn't work out either, as he was left on the tarmac on the plane ride home, without his things, when the pretty one said, this is done.
This is not a recap of your friend's or my friend's relations-it. This is the fabulous life of Lame Kiffin. This is the kind of reality TV I enjoy dear hearts.
This is a man who after winning a game, when being asked by the media, acts as though he just arrived in America, and doesn't quite understand how to speak the english language into a camera. Simply, Borat would give a better post game interview.
Dear Lane, let's have a little heart to heart and let me make a few points:
a). we're all done with Saban
b) you have Coach O's cell number
c) you're meant to be a OC at most
d) you're not HC materiaL
e) Baton Rouge is full of many pretty southern belle's… who adore football
f) you're single now
g) you're not winning
h In Baton Rouge you would win!
The alphabet is tired , and so am I, and I didn't run out of more reasons to give…
With these points dear Lane, tell the Owls you're deeply sorry. You drunk dialed the athletic director, and oops said yes to something you really shouldn't have. Say thank you, but no thank you. Then hang up and call Coach O. Do it now.
This kitty may need a cat nap after all of that and it's only Tuesday. Never mind, let's keep the good times rolling.
Dear Washington HC Peterson you may want to call this guy. He won by two touchdowns in his Bowl Game against your next opponent. Okay it was 2009 and Bama may not have been as loaded as they are now, but my little point is, he and his staff beat the Sabonator. And if you don't have Sack Lake City on speed dial, may I suggest you do it now. We're all counting on you to disrupt the path of the Boring Bama dynasty.
Oh the Jets…they won in overtime. (silence) Now, when can I see the GM board the plane and leave everyone on the tarmac to fulfill my Christmas wish? Don't call me a grinch. This is the intervention us Jets fans need.
Sunday night gave us a glimpse into what may lie ahead for the NFC with the Giants / Cowboys matchup. Although the Cowboys lost, I've been impressed every time I watch a little Dak. He takes control, and he can't do that without solid protection. Control? Protection? I want more… I'm talking about a nice QB and a solid O-line of course.

text: Affiliation fees for sports clubs 16 January 2017 0 comments Share Sports governing bodies and similar umbrella organisations often charge an affiliation fee to individual clubs who then charge this onto their members. Although the supply of this affiliation fee by non-profit making clubs to individual members is exempt from VAT, such supplies by profit-making commercial clubs are standard rated. The existing concession provides a level playing field as it allows profit-making commercial sports clubs to treat re-charges of affiliation fees to their members as though they were disbursements, so they are not required to account for VAT on the fee charged. However, as re-charges of affiliation fees are not legally a disbursement, HMRC's concession exceeds HMRC's discretion, so will be withdrawn from 1 April 2018. Thus, from 1 April 2018, the onward charge of affiliation fees by profit-making clubs will be subject to VAT, unless the conditions for treatment as a disbursement are met under the normal rules. Supplies of affiliation fees by non-profit making sports governing bodies, similar umbrella organisations, and by non-profit making sports clubs to their members will remain exempt under the law. If you are affected by this, you will need to ensure that your VAT accounting reflects the correct position from 1 April 2018 onwards. HMRC have invited any comments on the potential impact of the withdrawal of the concession by 7 March 2017 to ensure they can be given sufficient consideration before publication of final information and impact notes. If you would like to discuss any of the above further, please contact your usual Moore Stephens contact. governing bodySportssports clubsVAT

1920's Harmony (?) Flat Top Catalog Guitar
close-up of the back
reveals that it is bookmatched fiddle-back maple, as are the sides. The
peg head shape
is what convinced me that this is a Harmony. I own one old arch top, which is clearly a Harmony Patrician in a different guise, that has this same exact head shape. I have also seen this shape used on many other Harmony manufactured house brand instruments.

FEBRUARY 10, 2015 — The Department of the Navy's $164 billion FY 2017 budget submission is lower than widely expected by defense analysts.
It is 3.5 percent less than last years spending projections and down two-and-a-half percent from the FY 2016 budget submission totals.
It's no surprise that one of the areas where savings are sought is shipbuilding, with Defense Secretary Ash Carter having already signaled his plans to cut back on the LCS program in a series of meetings with service members and members of the defense community.
The table below shows what ships are being budgeted for and the video sets out the overall Navy budget philosophy.
The whole thing, of course, is just among the opening gambits in a game that will only be decided by the Congress. Warming up for play are Congressmen with LCS shipbuilders and suppliers in their districts. And, as we reported earlier, the Amphibious Warship Industrial Base Coalition (AWIBC), which represents suppliers to the amphibious warships construction program has already written urging Congress to fund the next generation LX(R) class in FY2017 so that construction can start in FY2018, rather than FY2020, as currently planned by the Navy.

A Night Without Armor II ?
Doing what she does best: Writhing... I mean, writing. Writing.
"Honeymoon Poem" by Britney Spears
A honeymoon at last, to get away from it all
My assistant Fe gave me the call.
I remember it well, as she was smilin'
She said it was called Turtle Island.
I packed my bags light and quick,
Then grabbed my pink dress & favorite lipstick.
We hopped on a plane and took our flight
I slept really well, all through the night.
As we arrive, I turn and look out the door,
People are greeting us right at the shore.
A meal, a shower and some ice cream
Then I threw my man down, you know what I mean!
Magical nights filled with stars
Silence is golden, no running cars.
Private dinners, romantic fires
Little piece of heaven, whatever your heart desires.
Friendly "hellos" and never goodbyes
When you're having fun, oh, how time flies!
As we sit and prepare to make our part
I thank you, Turtle Island, with all my heart!
~ Britney
I would love nothing more than for this masterpiece to truly be the work of our nation's posteminent Poet Illaureate, but alas, I'm skeptical. I have my reasons:
1) Why was this poem posted on the fansite britneyspears.org and not her official site, britneyspears.com?
2) In her most recent letter to her fans where she reports briefly on returning from her honeymoon, she seems to have taken to signing her missives simply "B," not "Britney."
3) I initially learned of this poem via IMDb News, always cause for doubt.
4) There just isn't that much poetic justice in the world.
5) Come on, that poem is sad, even by Britney Spears' ridiculously low standards.
Well, maybe not.
My theory is that this is just an overzealous piece of fanfiction crafted by some twelve year-old that was somehow mistaken for an authentic Britney communique. Regardless, Britney-haters everywhere seem to have no trouble believing this to be the work of Ms. Spears-Federline. I'm not sure if it's their simple trusting natures, wishful thinking or monumentally low opinion of her intelligence, but they are ridiculing her with abandon.
For her sake, I hope it turns out this ain't nothin' but a hoax.
For ours, I hope it's for real.
Then all she'll need is some guitar accompaniment from Anson Mount, and she'll have another hit single.

Glutathione is a tripeptide formed by three amino acids known as glycine, cysteine and glutamine. Glutathione is found in every cell and is the most important antioxidant that the body produces. Liposomal glutathione absorption allows the body to properly absorb glutathione into the blood stream, and into the cells. We all require glutathione to provide healthy cells in our body. Liposomal glutathione absorbs glutathione into cells better than any other form, which provides more health benefits for the body in helping to boost the immune system.
Low levels of glutathione will provide numerous of health conditions. Glutathione can also be found in foods like green vegetables, garlic, eggs, green tea and spices like turmeric. However, if your cells aren't producing enough glutathione, then liposomal glutathione absorption liquid supplements are needed for the cells in the body. This article will describe the benefits of liposomal glutathione supplements and where to buy online.
What is Liposomal Glutathione and why use it?
Liposomal is a phosholipid, which are lipids and components of the cell membranes. Liposomal is used for absorption. Liposomal glutathione absorption can provide the body of 90% of glutathione traveling through the blood stream. Liposomal glutathione is much easier to absorb into the blood stream when glutathione is combined with liposomal. Together liposomal glutathione work its way through the cells in the body. Liposomal glutathione can travel to the nerve cells and boost the nervous system. Liposomes and glutathione together makes for a great tag team in absorbing and maximing the use of glutathione.
Glutathione doesn't absorb into the bloodstream on its own very well. The body absorbs maybe 20% of glutathione alone. So you're not really gaining the full health benefits of glutathione, if isn't able to travel through your bloodstream and into other cells in the body. So liposomal plays a key role. Liposomal glutathione together help to repair cells throughout the body and plays a key role in reducing oxidative stress. Glutathione is the most important antioxidant by far, since it is known as the key antioxidant that gives cells its power to protect the body from foreign invaders and the removal of toxins.
What can Liposomal Glutathione Absorption do for health benefits?
Since liposomal glutathione absorbs into 90% of the body, the health benefits can be tremendous. How glutathione works is by repairing damaged cells. Re-fueling them to help fight off free radical attacks in the body and allowing the liver to remove harmful toxins. Glutathione promotes DNA growth. Those who drink a lot and smoke probably have low levels of glutathione in their cells. That leaves the body open for free radical attacks that can lead to liver disease and cancer. Glutathione assists in the activity of important vitamins like vitamin E and C which help to boost the immune system.
Glutathione is known as a detoxifier and is important in liver function. The liver removes harmful toxins in the body and cells. The liver produces 7 times more glutathione than cells in other parts of the body. Glutathione removes oxidation stress from harmful substances like smoking, pollution, and harmful chemicals that we inhabit from the environment.
Glutathione can help prevent stress, cancer, heart disease, liver disease, strokes, and promote healthy nerve cells. Glutathione can reduce the chance of illness and improve cognitive function. Glutathione can help lower high blood pressure and reduce the chance of cataracts. Most studies done on laboratory rats suggest that there really isn't any shortage of what glutathione can do for health benefits. If you use liposomal glutathione liquid supplements that absorbs through body and reaches the cells, then you can improve your overall health significantly.
Glutathione can help whiten the skin and repair damage skin cells. Glutathione helps to inhibit the amount of free radicals in your skin and provide anti-aging effect on your appearance. Glutathione reduces melanin and which prevents age spots on the skin. Glutathione can also help those with diabetes, arthritis, muscle growth, depression, Alzheimer's disease, dementia and autism.
Where to buy Liposomal Glutathione
Liposomal glutathione absorption works for all ages. It's highly recommended for those with liver disease, a weaken immune system, or those dealing with other health conditions to consider using liposomal glutathione. Alcoholics specifically should consider glutathione to detox the liver. You should discuss with your doctor first before taking it to help treat any health conditions. Liposomal glutathione can be digested orally and it doesn't have any known side effects.
Liposomal glutathione is available in a liquid form. Usually about a teaspoon is required. Although read the recommended dosage, it might be different depending the amount of milligrams of glutathione found in the liquid supplement. Glutathione supplements are also available in capsules and aren't as expensive. They don't contain liposomes that allows glutathione to absorb into the body. Liposomal glutathione is expensive. For a 4 ounce bottle it costs about $60 dollars online at vitamin wagon, healthdesigns.com, and neuroforumulas.com.

Mayor Bloomberg and Gov. Paterson yesterday praised President Bush for revoking a pardon granted to crooked Brooklyn real-estate developer Isaac Toussie one day after it was granted.
"I thought it was probably the right thing to do," said Bloomberg.
"I don't know how they vet these things, but when he found out about it, I thought he did the right thing . . . I don't think this should be used to reward people who are connected or whatever."
Toussie, 36, pleaded guilty in 2003 to falsifying federal loan documents so that he could sell cut-rate homes on Long Island to low-income buyers.
Technically, the pardon is now under Justice Department review, but it seems doomed to fail since Toussie has not waited the required five years after termination of his sentence before applying.
"You wouldn't want any quid pro quo where someone got a pardon in exchange for a donation, which I think is probably not the case, but it's probably a good decision to review it," Paterson said.

Regina's downtown is turning into one big museum.
As part of the launch of Culture Days 2015, the MacKenzie Art Gallery unveiled a series of seven high-quality reproduction paintings that will be set up around the core for at least the next year.
"It really relates to our strategic initiative to bring art outside the walls of the gallery," said Anthony Kiendl, executive director and CEO of the gallery.
Two of the paintings can be found in front of city hall. Four more are scattered around Victoria Park. One painting is also located in Wascana Park behind the art gallery.
The artworks are the creation of Francois Musin, Mary E. Wrinch, Harold Town, Piet Mondrian, Allen Sapp, Roy Kiyooka, and Wanda Koop. They feature images of a windmill, a pow-wow, and a ship on rough seas.
Kiendl said they'll do their best to keep the artworks in good condition, even over the winter months.

Do you like to travel? Money does also, and considers how long it takes for a dollar to travel through your company. From the day you place an order, purchase product, pay for product, bill a receivable, and yes, collect that receivable that total cycle can be easily 200 days, if note more. That's a lot of travel, so you hopefully can see our premise here that your investment in your working capital accounts is not necessarily a great thing..
A few years ago if you had used the word sexting no one would have known what you were talking about. These days, though, the term sexting is all over the news talk shows and the internet.

In the scene at the end when Andrew Robinson says, 'Jesus wept,' that was his own addition. I don't know what it means, but it's right. And the moment when he fiddles with the corner of his eye, I said, 'Oh, well we'll need an effect for that,' and he said, 'No, I can just make that work,' and he did.
In September 2005, Björlin left Days of our Lives again and joined the cast of the UPN series Sex, Love Secrets. The show was canceled by the network, but Björlin continued to make guest appearances on television series such as Jake in Progress and Out of Practice North Face Outlet. During the summer of 2005, Björlin made guest appearances on the Fishbowl radio program 'Coming Out with Reichen,' hosted by Reichen Lehmkuhl.
Another distinct characteristic of Poms is that they give high value to their personal properties like food, toys, or beds. They do not want their properties to be shared with other dogs or pets. Despite of this high sense of ownership, Pomeranians are not quarrelsome dogs..

25 Reasons Why I Am No Longer a Christian
Ed Babinski found a website by former seminarian Craig Lee Duckett that has a lot of good stuff on it. This whole site is a work in progress. Be sure to see Duckett's online book, Descending Babel.
Here are 25 reasons why Duckett is no longer a Christian:
1) The world simply does not behave the way described in the Bible
2) The words used to define Christian Doctrine are representative of things whose existence cannot be 'proved' outside of language
3) The Fall of Adam & Eve (and resulting Doctrine of Original Sin) is incoherent and contrary when compared to scientific evidence and other doctrines
4) The concepts of Heaven and Hell are equally morally and ethically reprehensible
5) Historical Evidence shows much of the Old Testament was appropriated from earlier Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian, Canaanite, & Persian Myths
6) The Account of the Flood and Noah's Ark bears striking similarities to the Epic of Gilgamesh and other pre-dating Creation/Flood myths
7) Persian Zoroastrianism altered Jewish Doctrine during the Babylonian Captivity
8) The influence of the pseudepigraphal Book of Enoch on the mystical Good-Evil dichotomy of Christian Doctrine
9) The influence of Philo of Alexandria on the development of Christian Doctrine
10) The ancient gods and goddesses that were assimilated by the Hebrews to become Elohim EL & Yahweh YHWH
11) Myths of Dying-Resurrecting God-Men Born of Virgins that Pre-Date the Story of the God-Man Jesus
12) The Problem of Evil (Theodicy) and the Hiddenness of God
13) Natural (Empirical/Scientific) vs. Supernatural (Faith/Language-Based) Belief Systems
14) The Gospels are not 'eyewitness' accounts but anonymous third-person narratives
15) The 'Evolution' of the Christian Canon and Jesus' Godmanship
16) Saul/Paul of Tarsus and the 'Re-Creation' of the Christian Myth
17) Archaeology and Biblical claims
18) Biblical Criticism: Findings as to Who - What - When - Where - How - Why
19) The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Essenes
20) The Nag Hammadi Library, Ugaritic Texts, and Armana Tablets
21) Canonical and Extracanonical books, the Gnostics, and Church Councils
22) Examined objectively, the Bible is rife with errors, contradictions, misstatements, and inconsistencies
23) Belief, Doubt, Disbelief and Critical Thinking
24) Science and the Scientific Method
25) Creationism, Intelligent Design, and Evolution
To see these things argued for by him read this. It contains some really good books for further reading!
