This time I tried something completly new to me.
On my blog you can already download clothes for YA and Adult females, but these are for babies.
Normally a baby has one outfit and the same one for every new born. (You can have default replacements but still all babies wear the same outfit.)
With this every baby can have a different outfit and you can change it as much as you like.
I chose Star Trek Voyager cause for the last couple of months I watched that series again and I really love the idea of babies wearing that uniform too.
I hope all you Star Trek fans like it.
This is actually a recolor of the mesh made by Fakepeeps7.
So you need that mesh to make this work: http://bit.ly/OWYsFw
Mod object
You'll need Chris Hatch's mod (http://bit.ly/1dobWoV) to use these clothes (otherwise, they won't show up and your baby will just wear a diaper if you don't have any other defaults installed). All outfits are unisex. The Pets EP or higher is required to use the mod.
How to USE Chris Hatch's Plan Baby Mod:
0. Purchase the Buy Baby Outfit teddy bear. There is to my knowledge no other way to buy baby clothes. Yet? Maybe 'yet.'
1. Have your parent Sim either hold their baby or put their baby on the floor. I haven't checked this with every possible combination of relatives, but an unrelated adult CANNOT get new clothes for a baby. Didn't think to check with teenagers. Somebody try it and report back?
2. With your parent Sim selected, click on the teddy bear and select "Buy Outfit For..." which should lead you to the names of all infants ant toddlers in the household. Click on a toddler's name.
3. A standard clothing-purchase window will pop up. DO NOT CLICK ANY AGE ICONS. Click on one of the gender icons instead. That's the only way to get to the baby clothes. Select and purchase baby clothes as you would normal clothes; they only cost $25 each so stock up. Hit the check-mark to buy clothes.
4. When the clothing purchase window closes, a plan outfit window will appear. So... plan your outfit.
5. If you forgot to plan your outfit, panicked and hit Close, or just want to change your baby's casual clothing for the season, buy one of the Maxis changing tables and have a parent Sim Plan Outfit For their baby as they would for a toddler.

Prions are relatively small proteins that display dramatically alternate conformations for similar primary structures. Abnormal conformations appear to cause fatal neurological diseases in a wide variety of mammals. Researchers are discovering the mechanisms behind these conformational changes, including differences that may lead to species barriers (or lack thereof) among exposed animals. How do these conformations differ? How do small sequence differences affect susceptibility to conformationa

"The Baby Was Made 'Delegate No. 800'": Frances Willard Meets Elizabeth Rodgers in the 1880s
The commitment of the Knights of Labor to equality for women was more than rhetorical, as seen in the career of Elizabeth Rodgers, the Master Workman, or head, of the organization's giant Chicago District No. 24. This 1889 portrait of Rodgers, offered by leading national anti-liquor activist Frances Willard, underscored the desire on the part of many Knights, both men and women, to connect the struggle for labor reform with a broader vision that included vehement opposition to liquor.

Does the transparent thread hold up to many washings and dryings? I'm using it in a lap quilt & I know my daughter will be washing it quite often. Should I go back & use regular all purpose thread?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Does the transparent thread hold up to many washings and dryings? I'm using it in a lap quilt & I know my daughter will be washing it quite often. Should I go back & use regular all purpose thread?
I am not a fan of it. I find it cuts cotton fibers and weakens the fabric over time. I don't like it for kids stuff because it tends to be scratchy.Originally Posted by Becky Crafts
What brand did you use? I have used YLI nylon monofilament and it held up well.
I don't think the monofilament holds up to a lot of washings... there are others that would do better for that kind of laundering. JMHO
YLI monofilament is what Harriet Hargrave recommended for years. Don't have any of her latest editions, but I assume she still recommends it. HH was the first quilter to really put machine quilting on the map.....
Thank you all for your knowledgeable advice and for sharing the reasons you feel this way about monofilament. That helps me a lot!
not all invisible threads are created equal; nylon melts, monofilament can be pokey and seem like you sew with fish line; some is move pliable than others. best way to tell if it's going to hold up to use? when i was doing my sons quilt i had 3 different invisible threads, i made 3 sandwiches and stitched all over each one with a different thread...then i ironed the crap out of them, then i washed them in the washer, and dryer...took them out and checked them over...
then bought some nice verigated thread and quilted the quilt.
long story short....try out the threads before you commit to a whole quilt.
Thank you! Good info. I guess I'll go back to regular thread. This one is very fine and doesn't seem to be pokey, but my daughter has OCD and you could eat off her floors even with all her kids and dog, so I know it will be washed repeatedly.Originally Posted by ckcowl

What happened in 2017!
2017 was a busy but happy year for Hugo. Here's a bit about what happened!
The year didn't start out terribly well as Hugo had quite a bit of illness early in the year. As soon as school started he had a few long stints in hospital with very bad respiratory issues - a couple of these very serious stints in intensive care. We originally put this down to aspiration or illness but it kept happening with no apparent other reason and so we then started to think about what else might be triggering these periods of respiratory distress. After much thought one possibility we came up with was that he was very allergic to mould. He had been attending physio at a local clinic situated in an old house. It was known that this house had mould in it in places and the physio did suggest this as a possibility for what might be causing his respiratory issues. This seemed like a plausible possibility and so we stopped taking him there (he now does physio at home) and once we did this he didn't have any other (serious!) illnesses during the year. Since those early stints in hospital last year he's been really quite well overall and (touch wood!) hasn't been in hospital at all!
Hugo otherwise has had a very happy and productive year. He's starting to make some real progress with communication and in the past few months he has learned to 'high five' with people as a way of saying hello, which is fun. You have to be very patient waiting for the little hand to come up and meet yours, but he does eventually do it. He's very pleased with himself when he gets praise for that and continues to always be very impressed with himself for doing clever things.
His standing and walking are making progress, albeit slowly. He got a new walker during 2017 (see the photo above) which helps to support him better through the torso and he enjoys spending time on this walker more than the last once, which he found very tiring and didn't quite have the right level of support for him. He's making a little bit of progress on being able to propel himself on the walker on his own, but hasn't quite got the hang of that yet. If motivated enough he can work out how to get from place to place though - even if moving backwards! He did this in order to find some of his books on a table not long ago - making his way over to the little table just so he could swing his arm out and knock all the books on the floor. Go Hugo! :)
School has continued to be really enjoyable for Hugo. He is very popular with his classmates and his best friend Maddison has been with him from kindy now, and is in his class again for 2018, which is lovely. They have a very special bond and Maddison rarely leaves his side at school. For the 2017 Christmas concert Hugo dressed up as a koala for the class performance, which was super cute - you can see a picture of that in the gallery above.
2017 was our first year of NDIS funding. While we did end up getting a pretty good package of funding for Hugo's therapies, equipment and care support the interactions throughout the year with the NDIA were unbelievably frustrating and upsetting. I won't go too much in to all of that here, but it really was a difficult part of the year. However, in the end we have managed to get funding for some new car seats (one for our car and one for Bertie and Bunny) plus some other equipment that he desperately needed. But a great part of the year was that with the funding for a care/support worker for Hugo we were able to find Thomas who became a great support to the family and a great friend for Hugo. Thomas is a medial student who came to work with Hugo during the summer holidays while he was on a break from Uni. He did some great things with Hugo and even bought him a little basketball set - as you can see in the photos. Thomas has now returned to uni but we are lucky that his sister, Rosie, has joined us to help look after him after school on 2 or sometimes 3 days a week, which is a great support for Bunny and Bertie. So there have been some big bonuses about having the NDIS funding introduced, despite the frustrations that it has also caused.
Hugo turned 7 in 2017 which we can't quite believe! He's now incredibly tall and is such a friendly and sociable boy. He continues to really enjoy the company of others and loves to be the centre of attention at parties and gatherings. Like his brothers he's a high achiever in his own way and is always incredibly proud of himself when he masters something new or when he does something clever. There's lots of examples of this in the gallery photos from the past year.
Overall it's been a pretty positive year for Hugo with not too much ill health, lots of happiness and enjoyment and some progress with his communication and physical achievements. He's recently started school for 2018 and has a wonderful teacher who is creating some fantastic experiences for him. He often comes home with a button recorded by his teacher with an update of the day and he loves to press the button and "tell" us all about what he's been up to. This is a great initiative given that he obviously can't tell us about his day himself.
We are looking forward to a fantastic year ahead and can't wait to report on his new achievements next time!

Steven Soderbergh is back and ready to have fun again. Well, that's not totally accurate because the workaholic filmmaker, whose retirement lasted about 5 seconds, clearly was having fun directing two seasons of The Knick, shooting and editing Magic Mike XXL, and more. More accurately, he's ready for us to have fun again, at the movies, with the heist genre, and in a different way than with his Ocean's Eleven trilogy. It's no surprise Soderbergh returned in the genre he's perhaps most comfortable, but what is surprising is that the film was Logan Lucky, which is like Ocean's Eleven if it were southern deep fried.
Penned by the mysterious, possibly fictional Rebecca Blunt, Logan Lucky is sorta like one of the Coen Brothers' numbskull movies, only these characters have so much heart, soul, and realness to them they don't deserve such a label. That's really the fascinating thing about Logan Lucky; even with its cast of goofy, colorful hillbillies (the working title was Hillbilly Heist), this isn't a film that should be looked down on as simply a lark. Sure, you're meant to laugh at the silly antics of these wannabe criminal masterminds, but their driving motivation will hit closer to home than any reason Danny Ocean ever gave.
It all begins with the characters, which Soderbergh clearly has an affection for. The Logan family is cursed with generations of bad luck, and darnit somebody's got to do something about it. Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum) is a West Virginia construction worker with a bad leg and an ex-wife (Katie Holmes) who is looking to take their daughter away to Virginia. He's so hard up for cash he drives down to North Carolina for work at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, only to get laid off because of his limp, and concerns about "liability". His brother Clyde (Adam Driver) can't stop talking about the family curse, maybe because he lost an arm fighting in Afghanistan. Scratch that...he lost an arm coming home from Afghanistan, which only makes it worse. Not that Clyde seems to care. He's comfortable with it, serves up drinks just fine without it, and even has his brother for backup when a-hole customers (like Seth MacFarlane as a arrogant race car magnate) make fun of his injury. Clyde may be cool with life as it is, but Jimmy's had enough.
These people may not be sophisticated, but they know what they know. And Jimmy knows the Charlotte Motor Speedway, which is why it's the place he decides to rob. And he knows people, too; who have particular sets of skills even if they don't all wear Armani suits. In fact, none of them do. And they spend their time bobbing for pig's feet and stuff. There's Joe Bang (Daniel Craig), a bomb expert currently serving time. Joe has a pair of brothers, Fish and Sam (Brian Gleeson and Jack Quaid), who are technically the technical experts even though they seem to not know anything about technology. The "Trixie" of the group is Jimmy and Clyde's sister Mellie (Riley Keough), who has enough speed and street smarts for the whole lot of 'em.
One of the amazing things about Soderbergh is that he came out of the gate with a directorial style that oozed confidence, but Logan Lucky is on another level still. This isn't a film that bounces from wacky setpiece to wacky setpiece; like most of Soderbergh's movies it moves at a certain relaxed, breezy pace. Yet he doesn't feel the need to fill those quieter spaces with useless fluff. Everything we get from him, the script, and the stars is a gem. And, I don't know what's going on this summer, but this is the third recent movie to do a killer job with a John Denver song. I'm not going to give it away, but if your heart doesn't melt then somebody ought to check your pulse.
Of course the plan goes bellyup, mistakes are made, new tactics cooked up on the fly, but as usual the best part of any heist is in how it comes together. It's there that we learn to appreciate these would-be criminals as more than just a bunch of country bumpkins. Soderbergh doesn't pity them, he doesn't shove them in a coal mine somewhere sand say "Look how pathetic these people are." He gives them all their chance to shine and paints them as modern day heroes for striking out against a system that only rewards those who already have it all. It's a familiar idea, sure, seen to a more violent degree in last year's Hell or High Water, but we rarely see it depicted with characters like these.
At this point we just know Tatum is going to do great work, but with Soderbergh he always gets to show an innocence missing from his other roles. It's very similar to the smarter-than-it-looks performance he gave in Magic Mike. He has probably the least flashy performance of them all, and his southern drawl is sorta suspect (almost everyone's is, though), but Tatum repeatedly has the best drawn out of him by Soderbergh. Driver gets all of the best reaction shots and deadpan gags, while Keough, another Magic Mike vet, is a lit firecracker the whole way through. But the guy having the most fun of all is Craig,with his hair dyed an obnoxious shade of blonde and begging to be frosted, we've never seen him play this far-out before. It's just weird and ridiculous and terrific to see Craig having such a good time. He's a professional and always does a solid job but he rarely seems to be enjoying himself, even in his Bond movies. I could do with seeing Craig in more roles like this. But not too many.
Some will write off Logan Lucky as one of Soderbergh's most frivolous efforts, but that would be a mistake. Not everything works; a final act addition of two dogged FBI agents (Hilary Swank and Macon Blair) slows things down to an unnecessary degree and feels out of place, and there are a bunch of supporting turns (Sebastian Stan, Katherine Waterston) that don't get enough time, but these are minor blips when so much is thoroughly enjoyable. Who knows? Maybe Soderbergh will see fit to launch a brand new heist trilogy? We should be so lucky.

Kilo-class submarines with relaxing water volume from 3,000 to 3,950 tons, operating at a depth of 240 m average and maximum diving depth of 300 m and have a range of 6000-7500 nm, while operating independently 45-day and 52-person crew, according to figures from the local media.
'Submarine Base'
Cam Ranh Bay Vietnam is being developed for the submarine base.
Late last year, the Russian news agency reported that Vietnam and Russia signed an intergovernmental agreement simplified procedures for Russian warships in the port of Cam Ranh.
Itar-Tass leading firms from the Russian Defense Ministry said the agreement was signed today in the coastal city of Sochi 25/11 during the visit of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Nguyen Phu Trong to Russia.
Defense sources said Russia under an agreement signed Monday 25/11, the Russian ships in the port of Cam Ranh just prior notice to the management port without additional procedures else.
According to this source, Vietnam is the second country after Syria agreed as on Russia.
Earlier this year, the Russian Defense Ministry said the Air Force in 2014 it began using Cam Ranh airport in Vietnam for the long-range missions.
The information posted on the ministry's website said Tuesday 4/1 last year, Russia for the first time used the airport in Khanh Hoa province in central Vietnam to landing transport aircraft Il-78 tankers used for capital not to fight Tu-95MS bombers.
Type fighters carrying this variant missiles used to patrol the sea, still according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

Due to a temporary gap in our supply of organic cotton sateen, we made it unavailable on the site starting late Friday afternoon. We expect this to remain the case for about a week or so, but it could be longer depending on how long the new shipment is held in customs. The outage will not have any impact on orders that have already been placed.
As many of you know, we've had to do this before. We are very sorry! We will continue to work with our suppliers to try to prevent gaps in supply. We are grateful for your patience.

Canadian Wine Regions
Canada isn't the first place most people think of when they imagine a sunny vineyard, bursting with ripe grapes, ready to be made into delicious wine.
However, this often cold, Northern country has a robust stable of wine regions just waiting to be discovered.
If you are aware of Canada's reputation for a high-quality dessert wine style known as 'Ice Wine', you will be excited to know that this country is also capable of producing plenty more fantastic wine styles.
Canada's wine regions mostly occur in it's Southern regions, and we will break them up by Province.
Let's get started.
Niagara-on-the-Lake is known as the birthplace of the modern Ontario wine industry, it is also known as "the prettiest town in Canada".
This region is a sub-appellation of the greater Niagara Peninsula and lies directly across Lake Ontario from the city of Toronto.
This large body of water helps moderate the colder temperatures that can be common here and the constant temperature at night in Autumn creates some of the most stable conditions in the world for producing the 'Ice Wine' style, for which Niagara-on-the-Lake has become famous.
The 26 currently operating vineyards of Niagara-on-the-Lake have been champions of sustainable winemaking since the first plantings here and this approach has lead to the consistent production of high quality wines.
Niagara Escarpment & Twenty Mile Bench:
The Niagara Escarpment is a large ridge carved by ancient glaciers that is responsible for the world-famous Niagara Falls.
The Escarpment is a 335 m (575 ft) high ridge that winds for 725 km (550 mi) from New York State through the Niagara Penninsula and into southern Ontario.
The Escarpment allows vineyards to benefit from Lake Ontario's off-shore breezes by reflecting them back to the lake, maintaining a constant and active airflow. This air circulation discourages cold air from settling in low lying areas and maximizes the moderating effect of the warm waters of the lake in the winter.
The Twenty Mile Bench is a high-quality segment within the Niagara Escarpment itself. In places the land rises gently in large terraces, or benches, but there is a varied and complex topography, with many changing slopes. Glacial activity has provided deep clay with a high proportion of limestone and shale.
Both of these areas hide many boutique wineries that are known for their laid-back, relaxed attitudes and are very proud to produce 100% Ontario wines with no imported must.
Prince Edward County:
Heading East along the Northern shore of Lake Ontario will lead you right to Canada's fastest growing wine region: Prince Edward County.
With over nearly 40 wineries already established and more being founded every year, this area of rich agricultural history is becoming a force to be reckoned with.
Prince Edward County has an unusual position, being so close to the Northern lake shore, as while the lake's moderating effect keeps the temperature nominal and shields the fruit from early Autumn frosts, it can do little to protect these vines against the harsh Canadian Winter where temperatures can dip below -24 degrees Celsius.
To defend against such a fierce cold (which can actually kill the buds within their protective winter scaling), the vintners of this wine region perform a process that is known as "hilling up".
To "hill up" the vines, is to bury the vines beneath mounds of earth in order to insulate them enough to survive the tough Winter.
In Spring these vines must then be removed delicately from the soil by hand as to avoid any damage.
This wine region is experimenting with a combination of hybrids (such as Baco Noir) and classical Vinifera varieties like Merlot and Riesling.
Lake Erie North Shore & Pelee Island:
The Lake Erie North Shore & Pelee Island Appellation is Canada's most southerly wine growing region, lying on the same latitude as the winemaking centres of the Mediterranean Coastline in Europe.
Situated just 30 minutes to the South-East of Detriot and 4 hours South-West of Toronto, this region is surrounded by water on three sides (Detriot River, Lake St Clair and Lake Erie) which creates a unique maritime climate in a continental region.
Lake Erie North Shore & Pelee Island was also the site of many of Canada's early forays into winemaking, with Canada's first commercial winery, Vin Villa Estates, being founded in 1866 on Pelee Island by a trio of gentleman farmers from Kentucky; D.J.Williams, Thomas Williams and Thaddeus Smith.
High Summer heat (moderated to a certain degree by cooling lake-side breezes) coupled with Ontario's longest growing season, help this lake-side region produce some of the most full-bodied wines, that Ontario is capable of including, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
British Columbia:
Okanagan Valley:
The Okanagan Valley Wine Region lies roughly 400km East of Vancouver and now contains more than 82% of the vineyards in British Columbia.
The valley itself stretches North to South more than 250km, with (160km of this being suitable for grape-growing) affording the region a large array of sub regions and soil types.
Okanagan Valley currently has over 8,000 acres of vineyards, with most clinging to the shoreline of the various lakes and rivers that link the valley together, though further vineyard planting are now climbing the hillsides along the valley walls.
The wine region was first founded in the 1850's by missionaries, however this attempt at wine production was wiped out by Canadian Prohibition in the early 20th Century.
Revived in 1931 by Calona Winery, who kept the industry alive by making fruit wines and wines made from hybrid varieties, the area came into it's own after 1975 when Vitis Vinifera varieties found their way back to the valley.
Nowadays, the Okanagan Valley produces almost every style of wine imaginable, from still whites, sparkling wines, and fortified wines, to robust. full bodied reds and of course dessert styles, with the most notable being some of the finest examples of ice wine Canada has to offer.
Notable Vitis Vinifera varieties planted include: Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Gewürztraminer. More recent plantings have shown an affinity for warm climate wines which include Sangiovese, Syrah, Zinfandel, Tempranillo and Malbec amongst others.
This capability to ripen so many different varieties is unrivalled within Canada and causes this region to now be the envy of many wine regions worldwide as well.
Vancouver Island:
The stunning Vancouver Island is located just across the Straight of Georgia from Vancouver itself, and between the years of 1983 and 1990 was home to a provincial government-funded grape growing trial - The Duncan Project - which assessed about 100 different varieties and identified Pinot Gris, Auxerrois and Ortega as varieties that would to well in this challenging seaside environment.
The first winery, Zannata Winery, opened in 1992, following this initiative, after which a wave of vineyard plantings swiftly followed.
Vancouver Island now has an impressive 430 acres planted up and down the Eastern coast of the island, with Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris being the most planted varieties at this time.
Gulf Islands:
Located in the Strait of Georgia that separates Vancouver Island for mainland British Columbia, these five islands have grown to be small isolated hubs for vineyards to thrive.
Connected by a network of small, locally-operated ferries, the 10 wineries currently operating across these islands are now a part of British Columbia's newest designated viticultural area.
These islands mainly focus on Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and the hybrid varieties, Ortega and Maréchal Foch.
Fraser Valley:
The Fraser Valley lies less than 100km east of down town Vancouver, making it a very accessible area for weekend-trippers from the big smoke.
This area's first winery opened up in 1991 and since then this agricultural heartland has expanded to 30 vineyards and 15 wineries.
So far, this still only amounts to a tiny 63 acres of grapevines planted, but as it's popularity grows, this is sure to increase.
As with many wine regions in Canada, Fraser Valley vineyards are still relying heavily on hybrid varietes, with Swiss winemaker, Valentine Blattner's red and white hybrids being the most planted varieties, followed by the much more classical Pinot Noir (which could be a great success as Pinot Noir has done very well in other cool climate wine regions).
Similkameen Valley:
It's not surprising you haven't heard of the Similkameen Valley before.
It's a mere 20-30 minute drive to the West of some of the Okanagan Valley's most loved wineries, and so is often overlooked in favour of the more well-known producers.
This wine region clings to the fertile alluvial flats close to the Similkameen River, and is backed by harsh, near desert-like environments along the valley walls.
Growing quickly as an agricultural hub, this area already has over 600 acres of vineyards and many fruit orchards, both of which benefit from it's hot, dry climate as well as it's famous winds that whip through the valley keeping out pests and disease.
Similkameen vineyards often sold their fruit to Okanagan wineries in the early days and as such their wonderful grapes saw very little of the spotlight, nowadays these vineyards are looking to keep the awards for themselves and are banding together to build wineries of their own.
Incredibly complex soils are found in this wine region, ranging from soils deposited by retreating glaciers, flood/melt-waters to wind-blown soils and alluvial fans, all supported by coarse rocky material broken down from the surrounding mountains.
This myriad of soil types can support many varieties of grapes and this region is known for it's aromatic whites and complex, full bodied reds.
Nova Scotia:
Nova Scotia's grape growing history goes back to the 1600's when the area was one of the first areas to cultivate grapes in North America.
To the extreme East of mainland Canada, Nova Scotia's vineyards are moderated by the cold Atlantic Ocean.
After 25 years of renewed interest in wine, Nova Scotia now has 550 acres under vine and over 70 growers spread across 7 regions.
These regions are Annapolis Valley, Gaspereau Valley, Avon Valley, LaHave River Valley, Bear River and Marble Mountain, Malagash Peninsula and finally Cape Breton.
Nova Scotia's growing wine regions has grown to be known for crisp, aromatic white wines with bright acidity, perfect for the seafood the Atlantic Coast produces so well.
This was further confirmed by the first appellation for Nova Scotia: "Tidal Bay".
The producer list is not set in stone as annual blind tastings keep this appellation only for wines that reflect the style of Nova Scotia.
Wines can be a combination of the approved grape varieties, but must demonstrate the distinctive taste profile that reflects the classic Nova Scotian style: lively fresh green fruit, dynamic acidity and characteristic minerality. Tidal Bay wines must also be relatively low in alcohol and no more than 11%.
Currently the appellation only has 10 vineyards producing 'Tidal Bay' wine.
Growing wine in the cold Eastern province of Quebec does make some sense.
This very cold area of Canada is steeped in French influence and culture, so naturally wine and cheese would be required in large amounts in this region.
Quebec wineries are mostly located in the St. Lawrence river valley in the South of the province. It is a small wine region however, consisting of only about 30 wineries, many of which are scattered to the East of Montreal in the Eastern Townships, though a handful of vineyards are found as far North as the outskirts of Quebec City.
All the varieties grown in Quebec need to be resistant against the harsh cold and need to ripen early as the to avoid the onset of the four months of Winter that will freeze the land deep enough that many European varieties cannot survive.
Most commonly grown in Quebec are the hybrid varieties Marechal Foch, Frontenac, Vidal and Seyval Blanc.
Now our journey is over!
As you have surely now realized, Canada is surprisingly varied when it comes to it's wine regions, and though it is still a young wine producing country, all signs point to a very successful future.
Although some wine regions are still relying on inferior quality, cold-resistant hybrid species of grapes, many are now turning to cold climate, hardy Vinifera varieties.
Although provincial liquor laws make it difficult to find many of Canada's finest wines outside of the country, hopefully continued support of the local wine industry will lead to a bottle of Canadian wine finding it's way to a store near you soon.

Watching the launch is fun, but watching the boosters come back down and land, that is the best part of the show imho.
Is this the one where they'll let the first stage burn up and not land ?
Landed on barge. Appeared flawless.
Smoke and Mirrors.
Obviously done in the same studio they did the moon landings...
(is it necessary to add the /s?)
Very little smoke comes from a LOX/RP1 engine ... mirrors are, however, sometimes used to protect launchpad cameras.
I'm happy about the satellites but what I really want to see are the LANDINGS.
I watch almost every new launch now.
Thanks! The Crew Dragon test has to wait until the shutdown is over.

Tax Tip 2 days until April 16! April 14, 2001 Should I file at the last minute if I owe the IRS? If you have your return ready, it is a good idea to file sooner rather than later. You'll avoid excess traffic, either on the Web or at the post office. Also, if the IRS rejects the return for any reason, you may have time to correct and refile it by the due date. If you file electronically, you can wait and mail your tax payment on April 16, 200l, or request a direct debit from your account to take place on that date. Even if you do not have money to pay your tax liability, file your return on time. The penalties are less if you file without making a payment than if you don't file at all. And, you can file Form 9465 to request an installment payment agreement.

Some friends and I wanted to have dinner together. It's been a rough couple weeks. A car wreck, an earthquake, a pretty bad cut, a hurricane. Someone make it stop.
We were going to go out for dinner, but see, I'm sort of a home body. And I'm a little cash flow-less these days. So I said hey, why don't you come over for dinner instead. Going out for dinner — what I think of first is paying a LOT for a glass of wine. I mean, with a glass of wine and the tip, you're pretty much at $12 (at least) without even ordering food.
So they brought wine and we cooked. Yes, we. I was a little sneaky and made them help when they got here. It's always nice when you can get someone else to peel the roasted red peppers for you. Ahh, now I see the appeal of the sous chef. As we were cooking, we decided we needed gin and tonics. So we went out for gin, Rose's lime juice and tonic. (The Rose's is really the key, I think.)
Kim's a vegetarian, so I had to factor that in while I was planning. But hey, I love vegetables, so no trouble there. A while back, I'd made the Onion Pan Bread from Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything," thinking I'd get a focaccia-like bread that I could use for roasted-veggie sandwiches. It didn't turn out the way I thought it would. And thank God because it ended up being so much better! I love it when that happens. I'd been looking for an excuse to make that again. When I made it the first time, it was kind of an open-faced sandwich. A wedge of bread, some pesto, roasted veggies and then lacy swiss cheese melted over it. Mmm. This time, it was more a pizza, but with a softer crust. Almost the consistency of cake, but savory instead of sweet.
But wait. Let's back up a little. First off, I made some roasted artichokes with olive oil, garlic and lemon.
I got the idea from Pinch My Salt and her photos and instructions are so great, I won't try to recreate them. So go here if you'd like to know how to do it. It was pretty simple and I'd never done it. Actually, I'd never even eaten artichokes before.
I would definitely eat this again.
I'd maybe make some kind of dipping sauce next time, but it wasn't essential. They were delicious on their own, as evidenced by the aftermath.
The remaining parts are very interesting to me. My first artichoke? A success, I think.
Now for the main course. This is kind of a multi-stepped process, but it's not hard. First off, you prep the veggies you want to roast.
Preheat the oven to 450. Split the red peppers and remove the seeds, stems and membranes.
Put them sliced-side down on a jelly roll pan and flatten them with the heel of your hand. Then brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Scatter some unpeeled garlic cloves on the pan too.
Get another pan for the mushrooms and red onion.
Just look at these shrooms. Aren't they gorgeous?
Cut those up and some red onion. I don't know what I was doing when I was cutting the onion. Since I was roasting it, usually I would have cut them into wedges so they'd be bigger.
Put them on a pan and drizzle some olive oil over everything and give it a good toss with your hands. Try to keep the mushrooms in one layer. I put some salt and pepper on the onion, but not the mushrooms because I don't want to draw the water out of them.
When your pans of veggies are ready, put them into the oven. The mushrooms and onions will take about 20 minutes. The peppers and garlic need about 40. When the mushrooms are done, remove them from the oven. After cooling a few minutes, toss them into a bowl. When the peppers are done, take them out of the oven, put them on a plate and cover with plastic wrap so the skins will steam a little. That'll make it easier to remove the skins.
Chop them up and add them to the bowl with the rest of the veggies. I should have taken photos of that, but I was a little distracted by the girl talk. Also, when the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze them into the bowl with the other veggies.
Start the pan bread. Reduce the oven to 350. Melt butter in a large ovenproof skillet.
Slice two vidalia onions. The recipe says large and I've seen really really large vidalias. Mine came in a bag and they weren't huge. More regular-sized onions.
Add them to the pan with the melted butter and caramelize them.
Add some brown sugar to the onions, stir. Then make the batter for the bread. Then pour the batter over the onions and bake for 35 minutes.
When it comes out of the oven, you need to flip the bread. Remember the handles of the skillet are HOT. Put a plate over the skillet and turn it over, then slide the bread back into the pan so the onions are on top.
Spread some pesto over the bread. Start adding the veggies.
If you're like my friend Lauren, who worked for a pizza shop, you'll have exceptional distribution skills. Just look how even the pesto is! And the veggies!
And the cheese!
Then pop it into the oven for about 10 minutes till the cheese is melted.
Then cut into wedges and serve.
This shot is from the first time I made this. I wanted you to see the bread.
Roasted Vegetables
- 2 red peppers
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- Garlic cloves, unpeeled (as many as you want)
- Olive oil
- Salt, pepper to taste
Heat oven to 450. Cut the red peppers in half and remove the seeds and white membranes. Put the red peppers cut side down on a jelly roll pan and squash them flat with the heel of your hand. Brush with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the unpeeled cloves of garlic to the pan.
On another pan, put the mushrooms and onions. Drizzle with oil and mix with your hands. Sprinkle the onion with salt and pepper. I don't salt the mushrooms because I don't want to draw out all the water. I don't know if that's right or wrong. It's just what I do.
Put both pans in the oven, the red peppers on the bottom and the onions and mushrooms on the upper rack. Check the onions and mushrooms after about 20 minutes. If they're done, remove them. Continue roasting the peppers and garlic for another 20 minutes, or until the peppers are collapsed and the skins are blackened. Remove from oven and put the red peppers on a plate. Cover with plastic wrap, which will make it easier to remove the skins. Let them rest while preparing the rest of the veggies.
Put the mushrooms and the onions into a mixing bowl. Squeeze the garlic into the bowl. Add a little salt and pepper. Stir.
Remove the plastic from the peppers and peel off the skins. Cut into chunks and put them into the bowl. Mix it all up, cover and set aside. Make the Onion Pan Bread.
Onion Pan Bread
Adapted from Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything"
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 large onions, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup neutral oil like grapeseed or corn
Preheat oven to 350. Put 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes.
Use the remaining butter to coat the edges of the pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the onions and stir to combine.
In a a mixing bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. In another bowl, beat together the egg, milk and neutral oil, add to the dry ingredients and stir together quickly.
Spread the batter over the onions and bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges.
To assemble the dish:
- 1/2 cup pesto
- 1/3 pound of lacy swiss cheese
After flipping the bread in the pan to have the onions on the top, spread the pesto. Distribute the veggies evenly, then top evenly with cheese. Return the skillet to the oven for 10 to 15 minutes until cheese is melted. Remove from oven, cut into wedges and serve.

10 Media Trends for 2015: Voice
Views 23/02/2015
The spoken word is becoming a more prevalent trend as people use more voice search, use speech to control objects, and expect voice as part of messaging platforms.
The rise of interest in voice has been driven by increased reliability of voice recognition, and communication apps, such as WhatsApp, taking the logical next step from text to voice platforms. Even speech-based podcasts are back in fashion, with true-crime narrative, Serial, receiving over 1M downloads per week! The growth in voice services go hand-in-hand with tech manufacturers pushing voice control as a better user experience as wearables and smart devices in the home become more prevalent. Expect to see the big players, such as Facebook, Twitter and Google, integrating voice technology more seamlessly into their platforms in 2015.
Status in Australia.
To promote the release of the film 'Her'in Australia, a voice-activated mobile execution allowed users to interact with their smartphone through speech.
16% of mobile internet users in Australia are active Whatsapp users (Q4, 2014). Source: Statista,
2014 Holden's in-car MyLink technology, allows drivers to use voice-activated technology to access and control smartphone apps through the dashboard while driving.
Implications for brands.
1. Consider whether your products or services can/should include voice technology. Could it improve a user's experience with you?
2. Connected TV's, gaming systems and smart watches all look to voice control - think of how you could utilise voice activation in your AV content.
3. Consideration should be given to the ease of pronouncing a brand name a brand name or call out to make the experience natural. Thik of how you currently use imple search terms and apply similiar learnings.

Simply put, it doesn't get ANY better than Fr. Z's commentary.
So enjoy, take heed, and accept while KNEELING! Don't be afraid to humble yourself before the Presence of Christ, Himself! Even though the folks in line may snicker or chide you, remember Who it is that you kneel before, Who it is that you accept! Also know that you are not alone in your humble act of adoration - all the angels and saints are kneeling with you.
Amen! Amen! Amen!
I really hope I'm able to take my own advice on this one. I have a feeling my pastor may think I'm way off my rocker this time, though...

By Nailah Ellis Timberlake//Manager of Communications, Multicultural & Foundation | Wednesday, February 17, 2016
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Legendary swim coaches Tommy Jackson (Atlanta, Ga.), Gary Peterson (Detroit, Mich.) and renowned instructor Lee Pitts (Ft. Myers, Fla.) were honored for their contributions to the sport during the 30th Annual Black History Invitational Swim Meet (BHISM) at the Takoma Aquatic Center in Washington, D.C.
"DPR is proud to host this historic event and honor three coaches that have supported us for all 30 years," said Tyrell T. Lashley, Director of Aquatics. "This year's theme is 'Make A Splash, Be Legendary' and through their lifelong commitment to Aquatics, they've exemplified this in every way."
Co-founded in 1987 by the D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) and the United Black Fund, Inc. (UBF) in honor of Black History Month, the BHISM is a highly competitive swim meet that hosts over 1,100 minority swimmers from 25 teams over the three-day event. Swimmers travel from all over the country and from as far as St. Lucia."The Black History Invitational Swim Meet brings swimmers from diverse backgrounds together to celebrate Black History Month and highlights the contributions of African-Americans to the sport of swimming," said Manuel Banks III, USA Swimming's Diversity & Inclusion Membership Specialist.
Since 1989, notable African-Americans in the field of swimming have been acknowledged at the Honoree's Dinner, including coach Jim Ellis, Olympians Cullen Jones and Maritza Correia McClendon, All-American Byron Davis and 10-time American record holder, Sabir Muhammad.
This year's honorees join the esteemed group with over 100 years of combined service to the sport.
In 1989, Jackson became Head Coach of the City of Atlanta Dolphins Swim Team. Under his tutelage he developed state, regional and internationally ranked swimmers and helped hundreds secure collegiate swimming scholarships.
Peterson retired in 2011 as the Aquatic Coordinator and Manager for the Detroit Parks and Recreation Department after 38 years building a youth swimming program in the city. Has been a mentor for the USA Swimming Diversity Mentoring Program that targets active coaches in urban areas who are interested in raising their level of expertise and skill.
"It's a great honor to be part of such a legendary swim meet with such great coaches and great swimmers," said Peterson. "I've participated in the meet for the last 29 years and I'm humbled by the recognition."
A world-renowned swim instructor, Pitts is the Founder of the Lee Pitts Swim School, where he has taught thousands to swim and provides free swim lessons to disadvantaged children. Growing up as a youth swimmer in Birmingham, Alabama, Pitts also produced the first swim instruction video with African-American instructors and swimmers.
"I'm overwhelmed!" exclaimed Pitts. "This is a really big deal and I'm humbled and honored by the recognition."
Hosted by the DC Wave Swim Team (DCPR), this year's meet had the largest number of swimmers in the event's history. The meet provides minority youth with the opportunity to meet prominent coaches and a chance to compete at high level. For more information, visit: http://dpr.dc.gov/

Life is short, and we all will die in the end. Sometimes we need reminding of these simple but powerful facts. The vanitas is a genre most associated with religious subject matter. It is included in religious images in order to tell the viewer that since life is short, they have to accept Christ before death, and also to say that there is more to life than just this fragile earthly one. Vanitas can be depicted as something as ephemeral as flowers or rotting fruit, and more often, the skull is used. In our time, art has seen a rise again in this theme, with artists such as Damien Hirst with his famous diamond encrusted skull For the Love of God, and his animals in formaldehyde.
The exhibition The Summer Issue, explores this theme and thus the theme of the human condition; to be aware of death, that in the knowledge of one's own eventual fatality life should be spend with great care and purpose. The five artists in this exhibit use the vanitas as the theme for their artwork, using unconventional and contemporary imagery.
The first piece that catches your eye upon entering the gallery is Fumitaka Kudo's Il Presente è Passato, Il Passato è Presente (Present is Past. Past is Present, 2011) a pair of billowing white sails hanging down from the ceiling. On these white canvas sheets are sketchy images drawn with black ink. The images, although separated on two sheets, are meant to be continuous. These images, he says, represent the past and the future. They are a strange blend between the mechanical and the natural; there are organic images that resemble water and others that remind one of man-made structures, and a nuclear holocaust. Gusts of wind, which at the same time look like feathers, engulf the structures. The wind and water seem to move, as the fabric moves in reality.
A fluttering butterfly, ripples in a pool of water, fleeting moments are caught in Stefania
Balestri's diptych Spirale 1 and 2 (2010), displayed on the wall next to Kudo's work – which are connected through their subtle sketchy aesthetic and a feeling of movement. "A butterfly is fragile" explains Balestri "One is aware of this small, fragile, and ephemeral life". The butterfly is the fragility of life itself, while the water underneath is the passing of time; the same ripple will never occur again. This moment, however, is captured by the artist, holding on to a piece of life and nature that we know in reality will not last.
Other works in this exhibit span through different mediums such as photography, drawing, and sculpture.
Jewish Cemetery (2010) is a photographic diptych by Christiana Caro. Her work usually deals with the exchange between nature and humans; the way nature shapes people in specific places, and the way people work with the effects of nature. Her images are simple and direct. Caro describes this work as "a ruined relic, an ode to death, and a reflection on inevitability". This graveyard, in Slovakia, is located in an area which was owned by multiple countries; the people of the area were subject to nationality changes based on these shifting borders. This diptych is a stark documentation of a place that seems as if it should have a specific identity – given that it's use is to mark the site of deaths in a certain area, however, it is negated in that the identity of the land and peoples who inhabit the land is now unclear.
Venere (Venus, 2010-2011) is a series mirrors rubbed onto black paper with silver pencil. The artist rubbed so hard that the pencil markings actually become reflective "like a real mirror", says Raffaele di Vaia. The mirrors are, of course, a symbol of vanity; in the glass you can see the image of yourself. But this image is not one that will last. For this reason it is rightfully named Venus. Raffaele di Vaia also exhibits a video, where the title and name of the protagonist Faustine (2010), resonates without any doubts of Faust, the master of temptation and conseguent damnation for vanity.
Valerio Ricci, who has just returned from an artist in residency in Korea, has made two petrol canisters which have been made into "precious objects" by gilding and chaining them together (Untitled, 2010). Ricci explains that there are certain steps to the vanitas, and that preciousness can be one of the first steps. "After this you find the empty condition [of man]" says Ricci.
The photographs from his residency in Korea (not on exhibit here) relate to the vanitas in another way. In this series of photographs he painted the bottom section of found objects with black dye. It is as if some black liquid flooded the area and left its mark on the objects. This black can be seen as Memento Mori.

Special rehearsal of FJK Dance's new creation
Visual art and contemporary dance intersect in a multimedia performance installation. A two-part dance installation incorporating an exhibit space with 28 original art pieces followed by a performance on stage by the FJK Dance Company.
About UnTold:
UnTold aims is to shed light on the hidden beauty of Middle Eastern culture at a time when stereotypes govern our perceptions.
The installation includes the Mu'allaqat, a group of seven long poems considered the best work of the pre-Islamic era. The name means "The Suspended Odes" or "The Hanging Poems" and according to tradition, these poems were hung on or in the Ka'ba at Meca. Mr. Khoury has designed a multi-dimensional experience with original calligraphy incorporating words and lines written in Arabic. that evolve from two and three dimensions in the art pieces and sculpture to a fourth dimensional plane on stage with music and dance. The concept of these designs is inspired by the human body movement in dance where momentum and weight lead the body to organic curves, following the form of Arabic writing and letters. Dancers bodies and movements use these curves and the traditional rhythm in expressing each line and phrase of the poetry. On stage will be geometric designs of Islamic art built on combinations of repeated squares and circles, many overlapped and interlaced producing a wide variety of tessellations. The arabesque, a form of artistic decoration, is expressed through dancer movements.
Ancient Middle Eastern aesthetics are reimagined for the present through a new form of fusion dance layering classical and contemporary ballroom and ballet movements with sculptures and graphic designs. The goal of UnTold is to shed light on the hidden beauty of the Middle Eastern culture at a time of negative cultural stereotypes and perceptions. Inspired by Arabic poetry (Arabic .ash-shi'ru al-'Arabīyyu ), the earliest form of Arabic literature, Al Mu'alaqat (Arabic: المعلقات, [al-muʕallaqaːt) (a set of seven poems) become 28 paintings, sculptures and sets for the theatre. Arabic written words dance and dancers interact with these words, their bodies and movements reflecting the rhythm and flow of the poetry to music composed by Hossam Ramzy.

The phrase "A picture is worth a Thousand" Words" is a visual artists motto. An image that tells a story without having to speak a word is an extremely powerful tool. Some possibilities are photographs, drawings or paintings. But a more un-common example is the shadow box.
Creating a visual story involving 2 and 3 dimensional objects, hand crafted elements, original keepsakes and multiple materials allow the artist to create a one of a kind piece from a one of a kind point of view. Take the time to hunt down the coolest, most interesting materials. Choose what inspires you considering color and texture.
If you are looking for a project to work on with your child, the shadow box not only allows an opportunity to experiment with new materials, but when complete, becomes something to display for years to come.
Last year at this time, I took on the awesome project of making a shadow box for a dear friend who won an Oscar. Now, if that's not an event to build a shadow box around, then I'm not sure what is.
My friend's name is Brenda Chapman. Brenda is an incredibly intelligent and creative woman who won the Oscar for directing the animated feature, "Brave." As I'm sure many of you with kids have seen this movie dozens and dozens of times over, like at my nieces' house, you have to agree it is powerful, passionate and gorgeous! Brenda recently gave 2 TedX talks that every woman should see. So take some time to check them out. This was her latest in Berkeley.
I decided to take the moment that Brenda won her Oscar, in her custom designed blue gown…
…And infused it with the esthetic of the main character, Merida, with hair flowing, standing on the hills of Scotland.
I used a nice variety of materials including paper, burlap, ribbon, thread, linen, paint, branches and foils. Starting from the back, I created a landscape for the entire piece.
Several layers of different colored linen were cut and mod-podged in place. The threads you can see are frayed on the edges, which add to the wooded look of the landscape. Don't be afraid of imperfection. Sometimes it becomes a gift.
When picking details of the story you want to tell, be sure to keep your mind open to the possibilities in every detail. My "dress," was made of layered, wired ribbon keeping it effectively in place at every curve.
My face was done simply with a set of perfect pretty lips delicately sewn by hand in red thread.
The hair was a graphic shape cut from a gold metallic piece of paper, topped with thin curly branched that I sprayed gold and glued in place.
The corset was sewn in one piece of royal blue glitter paper.
And for the Oscar, no need to be literal and cut out some pre-printed picture of an Oscar. A minimal graphic version is all anyone above the age of 5 would need to recognize its identity.
Then each completed element was added to the environment, one at a time.
As a final congratulatory wish, my sentiment was printed in reverse on a printer and taped on the front. Then with a gold paint pen, I simple traced the letters from inside the front window.
I could barely wait to give it to her. And when I did, I don't think she ever expected anything like it. So no, maybe it will never top being handed an Oscar. But it succeeded in telling her that I was right there with her in spirit when I watched her do it.
Celebrate special moments. Document them. Revisit them. Be creative…and remember to think outside The Shadowbox.

A U.S. embassy official says "egalitarian" Israel set an example for the US by its positive response to "social justice" protests.
American Embassy Economic Officer Dewitt Conklin recently told a panel discussion at the University of Haifa that both the protests and the quick government response were impressive. He added the Occupy Wall Street and similar protests in the United States were of a different nature.
"When I examined the claims of the economic protesters in Israel that prices were too high for households to bear, I saw that there was solid statistical evidence in support of this claim," he told the panel. "The response of the Israeli government to last summer's economic protests was striking. It quickly engaged with the issues raised by the protests and set up committees which provided detailed recommendations on how to address causes of high prices."
The government recently implemented free pre-school education for children from the age of three and lowered custom duties on hundreds of products purchased through the Internet.
Conklin said the demonstrations caused him to think if similar demonstrations would occur in the United States. When they did, they were different, according to the embassy official.
The American protests were focused around the theme of "the 99 percent versus the 1 percent," reflecting concerns about rising income inequality in the U.S. economy.
The economist said there is truth behind the charges. "In recent years, households in the top 1 percent income bracket have earned as much as the bottom 60 percent, and held as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent," he explained.
Unlike the situation in Israel, Conklin maintained that Americans' problem go beyond high prices.
"The main issue in the Israeli protests was the problem of the high cost of living relative to income, while in the U.S. the issue was a broader structural issue of a substantial decrease in middle income jobs," according to Conklin.
Concerning the Israeli government's response, he said, "I think the willingness of the government to act quickly to try to re-balance the economic equation comes, in part, from the egalitarian roots present at the creation of the State of Israel."

Seasons Hotel is located in Aundh, Pune.
It is a regular visited place for the people of Aundh and Baner and surrounding areas by both corporates and regular families looking for a good experience in dining with options like Flavours and The Cellar. A visit is in order if you haven't been yet.
We recently paid a visit to Flavours where they are having the corn festival due to monsoons.
The place has a great ambiance and a positive vibe to it and they keep doing lots of different food festivals throughout the year.
The previous event was street food which we missed but we did not want to miss the monsoon festival this time.
The star of the festival was corn and you tend to enjoy it more in the monsoon weather and Flavours captured the true essence of monsoon in this one.
Flavours has this unique concept where they offer a great deal of offers everyday.
The buffet priced at Rs 699 is a reasonable one compared to the dishes been offered in it. Delicious starters, soups, main dishes are in abundance for every taste.
Overall for us it was a great choice and the evening was a well spent one.

Important: Hot Melt Adhesives do have limitations! Being a thermoplastic product hot melt adhesives soften with heat and return to a solid state by the loss of heat. With this in mind, standard hot melt adhesives are not recommend for applications subjected to heat or direct sunlight. However we do offer grades with high heat resistance. Water and hot melt adhesives are a bad combination – standard hot melt adhesives are not waterproof and should be avoided for external applications. We strongly recommend that you thoroughly test the product and satisfy yourselves that the product is suitable for your application. This product suggested uses are a generalised suggestion and other factors may play a role in achieving the required bond, e.g. heat resistance, chemical resistance, gap filling, surface area to glue, open time or a degree of glue flexibility may be required etc.

text: OBJECTIVE - C-peptide replacement in animals results in amelioration of diabetes-induced functional and structural abnormalities in peripheral nerves. The present study was undertaken to examine whether C-peptide administration to patients with type 1 diabetes and peripheral neuropathy improves sensory nerve function. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - This was an exploratory, double-blinded, randomized, and placebo-controlled study with three study groups that was carried out at five centers in Sweden. C-peptide was given as a replacement dose (1.5 mg/day, divided into four subcutaneous doses) or a dose three times higher (4.5 mg/day) during 6 months. Neurological examination and neurophysiological measurements were performed before and after 6 months of treatment with C-peptide or placebo. RESULTS - The age of the 139 patients who completed the protocol was 44.2 ± 0.6 (mean ± SE) years and their duration of diabetes was 30.6 ± 0.8 years. Clinical neurological impairment (NIA) (score >7 points) of the lower extremities was present in 86% of the patients at baseline. Sensory nerve conduction velocity (SCV) was 2.6 ± 0.08 SD below body height-corrected normal values at baseline and improved similarly within the two C-peptide groups (P < 0.007). The number of patients responding with a SCV peak potential improvement >1.0 m/s was greater in C-peptide-treated patients than in those receiving placebo (P < 0.03). In the least severely affected patients (SCV < 2.5 SD below normal at baseline, n = 70) SCV improved by 1.0 m/s (P < 0.014 vs. placebo). NIA score and vibration perception both improved within the C-peptide-treated groups (P < 0.011 and P < 0.002). A1C levels (7.6 ± 0.1% at baseline) decreased slightly but similarly in C-peptide- and placebo-treated patients during the study. CONCLUSIONS - C-peptide treatment for 6 months improves sensory nerve function in early-stage type 1 diabetic neuropathy. © 2007 by the American Diabetes Association.
