HIRAM C. POLK Jr, M.D.
Operative wound infection is examined through classifications based on estimation of frequency, severity, and sources of infection. These classifications help in identifying preventive and corrective measures. All surgeons are concerned with postoperative infection because it can convert a superior technical result into a disaster. The analysis of postoperative infection is complicated by the complex and constantly changing relations among host, challenging microbe, and the existing antimicrobial measures. The effect of physical, pharmacologic, and biological variables is estimated with emphasis on measures that promise further control of infection in the surgical patient. Proposals are offered for further efforts in controlling this hazard.

Exploring Spiritual Teachings
A Personal Tao also offers a collection of spiritual teachings to help people explore a modern Shamanic Life. Experiencing the movement of spirit is something that goes beyond physical words. The materials on this site are just a starting point for people on their spiritual journey.
While modern culture has many preconceived notions of what a Shaman might look like, it turns out shamanic teachings are much more varied than what people think. Spiritual teachings are not out of place in this modern world. The exact opposite is true; shamanic teachings offer tools to help a person find a healthier lifestyle and perspectives that balance the sensibilities of modern life.
Many different "maps" and paths exist in spiritual teachings. Julie and Casey help shamanic students access and then begin exploring the spiritual aspects of life. We first teach a person a larger overview of Shamanism. Then based on a person's nature, help each person focus down a path that matches their soul.
At One River we teach shamanism, Taoism, divination, personal healing, spiritual travel, soul healing, ancestor healing, and other pathways of spiritual practice.
Spiritual activities appear magical to many, since in perspective, how we see spirit varies so much from person to person. No one can deny the larger mysterious universe that goes beyond our day to day stories of life. This larger reality around our physical base essence is what is known as "Spirit." It's the desire to move with the connection to spirit and explore the spiritual worlds that calls to us in shamanic practice. Shamanic practice is an art of lifestyle that connects a person's heart back to nature and the roots of our history. Shamanism is the art of helping each person connect to and expand their life with spiritual exploration.
Don't limit a Shamanic experience to a single practice. Open your heart to the exploration of a larger universe.

Group fitness training is a fantastic way to sweat off those pounds, and it helps you stay on track with eating goals. Our group fitness classes offer opportunities to get some time with a personal trainer and to ensure you complete exercises correctly.
Enormous group classes at the gym can be pretty intimidating, but the personal training sessions also have enormous price tags. Here at Vardy HPC we offer small group fitness classes led by a personal trainer. You get the personalized attention you need at a lower cost.
Small group fitness classes have about 4 to 6 people, the perfect amount for a positive, competitive-free atmosphere. We want participants to enjoy the classes and be surrounded by other people working just as hard to achieve their personal health goals.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I got a little behind on the Happy Day Project.
I wrote my letters.
I addressed them.
Then I went to the desk to get stamps.
And there were none. What?
So I texted Mr. Dunbar, "Ummm, stamps?"
His response, "Bogie thought they were stickers."
Aye, Bogie. Outside of the box, ask for forgiveness rather than permission, Bogie.
Okay, back to letters…
Growing up I loved to write letters. Writing and receiving letters was a favorite pastime. There was no email. No texting. Only snail mail. And the run to the mailbox. The anticipation was always the same. The joy was always great, reading and re-reading the mail. Handwritten thoughts. Genuine thoughts.
Today, for my letters, I didn't write any sagas in my letters, just short and sweet notes that will hopefully brighten some days.
So anyhow, I went and got stamps and the letters are going out today.
I picked up stamps at the market and they gave me these.
Holiday stamps. Wowzers.
Don't you love to get mail? Non-bill mail?

We work with diverse communities to open up archives in new, creative ways.
Our collaborations with community partners help us to support people to access archives and brings us audiences that are often new to archives.
We work across different sectors with creative practitioners, artists, group leaders, academics and historians to develop workshops, programmes and archive learning resources.
Examples of our work
In response, they created artworks and a play as part of a partnership project between The National Archives, the V&A's learning department and the Wren Academy. The project was sponsored by the Friends of The National Archives.
Panjab 1947: a heart divided We worked with four Panjabi elders to consider the impact of the partition of British India on their lives.
Ugandan Asians Amazing ceramics formed the background to a trip down memory lane for Ugandan Asians, reflecting on their stories of expulsion and re-settlement, forty years on.
Prisoner 4099 Could you be inspired by a child criminal imprisoned in Victorian times? A group of young people were and created this resource with us, bringing a bit of drama to the sad life of 12 year old William Towers.
There Be Monsters: Westminster-based Workshop and Company worked with us to explore our maps collection with a very creative outcome. Read the report below.
There Be Monsters report (PDF, 1.52Mb)
We actively seek out new approaches to community engagement with archives and work both on site and in community settings. Click on the image on the right to see some examples of our activities.
Our most recent project is Caribbean through a lens; community partners from Leeds to London worked with us over 18 months creating powerful exhibitions, reminiscence workshops and inspirational events inspired by colonial photographs of the Caribbean. See an educational resource created by community partner, New Art Exchange or read our latest blog.
If you would like to get involved with our outreach programme, or have ideas for using the collections with groups, we would like to hear from you. Email firstname.lastname@example.com
Our services include:
- group visits to view the collections on site or in community settings
- support for developing ideas for community engagement using archive collections
- hosting workshops or public talks with speakers on diverse histories

|About FuMPFest
General Information
FuMPFest is a small, fan-run convention for fans of comedy-music. We attract a dedicated fanbase of comedy fans, generally people who do or have listened to the Dr. Demento Show, are fans of Weird Al Yankovic, The FuMP, etc. They also tend to be nerdy, fans of science fiction and fantasy, and intelligent. The event attracts about 100-150 attendees annually.
So what about dealers?
We have decided that it doesn't make sense to have a separate dealers room for this particular convention. Having said that, if you offer a specific product or service that you think would perform well at our event we will offer you a table set up in the back of the main performance room near our own merchandise table.
This table will come with 2 full-access badges to the convention.
1 table: $125
Additional tables: $75 each
Additional badges: $25 each
Additional badges can be purchased for $25 each if you need more than 2 people for your table. And if you need more than 1 table additional tables are just $75 each.
You are solely responsible for staffing and securing your table at all times throughout the weekend. While we will do everything we can to accommodate you, we can not guarantee that our volunteers will be available to help you out.

Remole is a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon from the Toscana IGT wine appelation. Produced from fruit found throughout the Frescobaldi estates and other Tuscan areas, this red wine is meant to be enjoyed young.
Tasting Notes
A rich, luminous ruby of appealing depth announces an equally complex nose, Remole reveals multi-faceted aromas of red and dark fruit and lifted by spicier impressions of black pepper and liquorice. The entry is velvety and warm, and the components on the palate are well balanced, with a tasty vein of acidity. Aromatic fruit returns to grace a lengthy finish.
Learn more at www.frescobaldi.it
Food Pairing Suggestions
A classic example of a wine for all dishes, on all occasions. Enjoy it for example with charcuterie that is not too spicy, or with full-flavoured pasta dishes such as all?amatriciana.

Merry Christmas!!!
In keeping with our "challenging" past few weeks, my poor son actually had terrible asthma and even threw up 15 minutes before this picture. He looks pretty good all things considered, right?
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The Beijing city government has ordered an immediate restart to coal-fueled generators to ease the shortage of liquefied natural gas in northern China.
In a notice released on Thursday but only widely publicized on Saturday, the capital's City Management Commission confirmed that the National Development and Reform Commission, the top economic planner, had ordered a restart of coal-fueled generators to reduce LNG consumption, Caixin magazine reported.
Three major power plants in Beijing confirmed that they had received the notice, Caixin reported.
To cut concentrations of PM2.5-hazardous fine particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 microns or less-28 cities including Beijing, Tianjin and cities in Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong and Henan provinces were to use electricity or gas for heating this winter, instead of coal, which is considered the main cause of the lingering winter smog.

However, as the heating season began, some people in these areas found their homes and schools freezing, mainly due to LNG shortages.
The Ministry of Environmental Protection has told authorities to "ensure a warm winter" for the public rather than delay heating supplies in some northern areas due to natural gas shortages or unfinished projects.
Areas that have not yet completed conversion projects to replace coal with gas or electric heating can use coal or any other available measures, the ministry said in a circular released on Thursday.
The China Huaneng power plant in eastern Beijing had restarted one of its coal-fueled generators as of Friday night, with another ready for restart at any time.
Another two plants could also go into service if necessary, the source said.
In 2013, the capital began a gradual process to replace coal-fueled generators with equipment powered by natural gas. The city achieved its coal-free target in March this year.
The old generators at the Huaneng plant were held in reserve in case they were needed.
According to the commission's website, one of the coal-fired generators was used over the summer to cope with a spike in electricity usage for air conditioners during a heat wave.

Temperamental and prone to violent outbursts, magma dragons are regarded by most other dragons as dangerously insane—an assumption that, more often than not, proves correct. One can rarely predict a magma dragon's state of mind until it either attacks or attempts to engage in conversation. For their part, magma dragons can justify all of their actions—they just rarely feel the need to do so.

The Enron Corporation's collapse a month ago was overshadowed by the noise of collapsing Taliban. But this week's announcement that a criminal inquiry will be held into its failure, and the political consequences for the White House, have swept the war out of the headlines.
Further details of the dealings between Enron and the Bush administration emerged last night. Its president, Lawrence Whalley, spoke to a senior treasury official up to eight times, apparently pleading with him to use the administration's political influence with the banks to help get extended credit, it was revealed.
At the centre of President Bush's intensifying problem with Enron is a whiff of conflicting interests. A year ago businesses queued up to help fund President Bush's inaugural parties, to secure their influence with the new regime. For decency's sake donations were limited to $100,000. But Enron surpassed itself: it gave the full $100,000 and its chairman, Kenneth Lay, did the same as an individual.
These figures, and the hundreds of thousands Enron, Mr Lay and other executives had given to Mr Bush's past campaigns in Texas, pale into insignificance compared with the billions lost in the company's fall and the millions lost by pensioners whose money was tied up in Enron shares.
But they illustrate the status Enron had as what the Washington Post called "the nation's largest power broker". It was a pun: power as energy was its business; political power a sideline.
"I do have a good personal relationship with the new president," Mr Lay said at the time. "That's not to say it in any grand way. I've just known him a long time, just like I've known his parents for a long time."
Enron was so deeply embedded in Texas life that the entire US attorney's office in Houston has had to excuse itself from the case because so many of its 100 lawyers have connections with the company or its employees.
Ken Lay was a very big player in the economy and politics of Texas. By yesterday, as the Houston Chronicle headline put it, he was "Ken Who?"
Every administration has its scandals. And when one headed by two former oil executives - the president and Vice-President Cheney - promises policies for which the oil industry has been begging, it is not difficult to predict where they may lie.
What no outsider could have seen last Januuary was the sudden downfall of a company that claimed twice the revenue of Boeing, Texaco or Hewlett-Packard.
The economic scandal is not even a matter of debate. Enron's treatment of its staff, the cupidity of its executives, the shredding of documents: this is a trail that will lead either to the penitentiary or to changes in the law, or both.
And today the familiar phrases of political scandal are being heard round Washington: "influence-peddling", "smoking gun", "what did the president know and when did he know it?"
Possibly this president's acknowledged difficulty in focusing on multiple issues may help him: everyone knows he was rather distracted in the autumn. And so far there is no smoking gun.
Whether the two cabinet members Mr Lay phoned before the collapse told the president or not, the company was not rescued.

Life may be ubiquitous in the universe, forms and structures may crop up independently in very similar forms, but at the moment it seems as if human life is unique on our planet. The Cambridge Palaeobiologist Professor Simon Conway Morris made a name for himself by studying the Burgess shale, which is one of the earliest records of soft-bodied animal forms. From this work, he developed an interest in convergent evolution – the idea that independent evolutionary processes hit on the similar solutions again and again. Now that convergence has blossomed into a field of its own, Simon has turned his attention to human and animal intelligence. At this year's Faraday Institute summer course he described some of his findings so far, which I will summarise here in my own words. Continue reading
Learning From the Past: Intelligence, creativity and risk in evolutionary processes
What is intelligence? The ability to process information or respond to signals? The use of language, music or mathematics? One measure of whether something is intelligent is if it can use past experience to direct future behaviour in a helpful direction. This is something I often attempt, with varying levels of success! In recent years, a number of researchers have been asking whether evolutionary processes can also do this. Continue reading
The Intelligence of Plants
Networks of plants can achieve surprising things. For example, one study has shown that the trees in a forest are interconnected through the fungi that grow around their roots. A radioactive chemical injected into one tree soon appears Continue reading

Let's play Fatansy Marathon 101.
Take Makau's 2:03:38, Mutai's 2:03:02, wanjiru's Beijing run or Mutai's run today and put them on the same course on the same day and the weird thing to think about is that one of them has to finish 4th.
I think the NYM doesn't finish in the same place that it starts. Which raises the questions, what is the elevation difference between the start and the finish, how far apart are they, and what was the wind speed today.

I have always loved to dream. Daydream, that is. I have been referred to as an idealist, non-confrontational, peacemaker and a feeder. 🙂 I am sure at one time or another I was the exact opposite of all of those things! What I strive to be is not always what I see at the end of the day when I am looking down into my evening cup of coffee. But I strive.
One of my dreams is to one day open a corner cafe that has brick walls, a stone fireplace, dim lighting, music, wood floors, fresh roasted coffee and some mean desserts! But for now..I have a virtual cafe. Welcome……
I grew up in Wisconsin, have lived in about 4 other states, and most recently our family moved back to my husband's hometown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa! We are loving being back here, but I will have to say that I get asked about my southern accent a few times each week. Guessing that would be refelctive of our past 5 years in Alabama. So, I am a chamelion too. 🙂
For the past 3 years, I have been a full-time stay at home mom! I have 3 beautiful toddler girls, Dakota, Addison and Charlie Grace. Yes, I am tired alot, but loving every minute!
Everett and I will be celebrating 22 years of marriage this September! Time really does fly. We all experience different things in life, so I will be posting about the hills, valleys, bridges, trainwrecks and mountaintops of my life. 🙂 I love the man that God chose for me…..
I love the simple things in life. God, family, friends, laughter, music, writing, and coffee. 🙂
Thanks for taking the time to read my ponderings. I hope that you will be encouraged, that your life load will feel a little lighter, that you will be inspired to make a change in your piece of the world to make it a better place.
For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

I've been wearing scarves since the 10th grade. They're my go-to accessory whenever I want to add a dash of color to a blouse, suit, or even a t-shirt.
I've collected a lot of modern and vintage scarves over the years. Almost all of them have come from thrift stores and estate sales. One of my favorites is this scarf by Charles Jourdan of Paris. I paid only $15 for it at an estate sale. I also bought the black and red scarf pictured below for $15 at the same sale. The estate sale conductor wanted $150 for each because she knew the owner had paid a lot of money for them. But the scarves weren't selling that day, so I waited until the conductor brought the price down to $15.
Kennedy Onassis who always looked so stylish in their headscarves, especially when they paired them with dark sunglasses.
Most of the time, however, I'll wear a scarf around my neck in place of a necklace. At other times, I'll throw one over my shoulder or use one as a belt.
I've seen other people get really creative with scarves. Some people tie them on their purses. Others use them to make bracelets, skirts, and shirts.
What's great about scarves is that you can buy so many for so little money when you shop at thrift stores and estate sales. I've seen secondhand scarves selling for fifty cents to $2 each at estate sales. At thrift stores, the asking price can range from about 60 cents to less than $5.
And a lot of the secondhand scarves are so beautiful. Take a look at this one that I bought for just 59 cents. The design reminds me of a Picasso painting.
Here are some of my favorite ways to wear scarves. How do you wear your scarves?

FOOTWEAR FAQs
Gait Analysis is purely analysis of how you stand, walk and run. Usually performed using video capture software.
Other running shops use basic video capture software to look at your feet and try and determine what type of shoe you need - i.e. neutral, guidance or stability.
However, feet and ankles are only part of the story because the knees, hips, back all influence how the lower body moves. That's why at Profeet our team of technicians have relevant qualifications and why we look at the whole of the lower body and in far more detail.
We also use High Definition cameras enabling us to capture more detail, and professional gait treadmills allowing you to run more naturally.
80% of our clients come to us with some sort of pre-existing injury or pain. We can help to prevent this from occurring/reoccurring. Common injuries that we can help with are:
We also work with active individuals who want to take steps to reduce the risk of these injuries occurring in the first place. Custom insoles play a large part in injury prevention.
Simply, custom insoles improve performance, increase comfort and reduce injury! Custom insoles and orthotics have been widely used to treat foot, ankle and lower leg problems and injuries for years. Increasingly, custom insoles have become standard equipment for elite athletes including; runners, football, rugby, tennis, hockey players, cyclists and more as a way to improve performance, increase comfort and reduce injury
Although manufacturers now make shoes for different types of walking/running gait, foot width etc. the shoes are still mass produced. A custom insole customises the fit and performance of the footwear to the individual user.
Likewise, as manufacturers know that insoles are a regular upgrade they spend as little as possible on the insoles that are provided in the shoes as standard.
No, our custom insoles are built to work with the shoes and both insole and shoe perform different roles to support the foot and body as you walk, run and move.
Performance and premium running shoes should last approximately 350-500 miles (550-800 kms) depending on your weight and style of running.
The EVA foam midsole which provides the cushioning and control in running shoes is a more important indicator of wear than the rubber sole or fabric upper and it can be hard to tell how worn this is.
We would therefore recommend more frequent runners change shoes every six months and occasional runners every year. Don't forget that walking and using shoes in the gym will also wear the EVA and reduce cushioning and decrease the life of the shoe.
Manufacturers make their footwear based on different sizing systems (UK, USA, French and Mondo point) and may use different conversions from onc size to another.
Then they may apply the chosen scale to the shoes last, the internal space and either an average or maximum foot length for manufacturing.
In order to help you choose the right size we use a Brannock measuring device and a check the feel of the shoe in the toe and around the foot, as well as relying strongly on your feedback. Remember sock thickness will also affect the size you wear and the fit of the shoe.
Cheap running shoes and sports footwear will offer less support when new and will only last about half the distance/time, due to the inferior materials used.
Old stock shoes will also last a shorter distance/time as the EVA midsole has a natural aging process, even without use.
Profeet custom insoles should last about three pairs of shoes or approximately 1,500 miles but this depends on your sport, weight, technique etc.
Everybody wears out their insoles differently, so we recommend a six monthly check up and new insoles at a maximum of two years.
Insoles used for sports other than running, i.e. tennis, will normally wear faster due to additional lateral loading and wear to the surface materials, although we can add reinforced material to help.
Insoles and footbeds are the same thing and a basic foam insole is found in nearly all sports footwear as a way to finish the shoe and provide a soft surface to stand on.
Profeet custom insoles are moulded to your feet, fitted and adjusted while you wait. They directly replace the standard insole or three-quarter length insoles can be made for shoes without insoles.
Orthotics are generally rigid devices designed to control a foot that suffers major patho-mechanical dysfunction. They are generally made by a podiatrist who typically takes a non-weight-bearing mould of the feet in a 'neutral' foot position. The casts are then sent off to a laboratory where the orthotic is made and where they will need to be returned for adjustments.
Profeet custom insoles are generally far cheaper than traditional rigid orthotics but more expensive than the non-custom and more basic custom insoles available through general sports stores.

Happy Halloween
3 comments:
Thanks Jennifer, Happy Halloween to you guys too! It's fun to be celebrating our babies' first Halloweens!ReplyDelete
I am embarrassed that I've bought three different costumes for Lillian over the last couple of months! One she wouldn't fit in today anyway (an adorable Sweet Pea costume - I blogged about it a while ago; another is a Strawberry bunting...adorable but she couldn't go in her carseat in that; and a flower fairy. I think that's what she'll be. Pictures coming later today or tomorrow! :) What will Chloe be? Are you and Mike dressing up?
Rachel, the flower fairy costume sounds so cute! I cant wait to see pictures of Lillian in it. Are you and Josh dressing up? The three of us arnt dressing up this year. I'm really regretting not getting a costume for Chloe, it would have been nice to have pictures of her in her first Halloween costume. Oh well, I will have to think of something else instead!ReplyDelete
Josh and I didn't really dress up. It's funny, in hindsight I see I didn't really NEED the costume for Lillian...poor baby just wanted to stay home anyway! But you're right, it's fun to have pictures!ReplyDelete

During WWII it was common for Japanese soldiers to carry photo albums. Such an album was found on New Guinea in 1942/43 by a cousin's husband of Alice's mother. April, 2010 NPR had an interview of a lady who had such an album and was looking for a relative of the man who had the album when he was in the army during WWII. I wrote to the blog and was answered by a Japanese grad student at Denver University. In a couple of weeks he located a daughter of one of the soldiers whose picture was in the album. I sent the album to her. I have not heard back from her.
