27 Mom Tattoos
These inked-up mamas, readers tell us the personal stories behind their skin art.
- Parenting.com
"The buffalo skull came first ('94), in honor of my Indian relatives. Then, when I moved home from Japan, I got the kanji ('97). It means "older sister." (My best friends and I all have the same ink in the same spot.) I got the hibiscus for my husband after we got married ('05). Not only does his family live in the Caribbean, but it's our goal to live there someday, too."
-Jessica, mom of Alanna, 2

"I am a 31 year old mother of two beautiful boys ages 5 and 3. I have always LOVED tattoos since I was in Junior high school. As soon as I turned 18, I went out to the first tattoo shop that had time for me, and got a tribal armband that was popular at that time.
Well, years passed, and I started learning more and more about great tattoos! And as I looked at my armband, I started to hate it more and more! So, when I finally was able to save up some money to cover up that 'eye sore' of a tattoo I wanted to cover it up with something full of color! Also, I wanted something that I would LOVE to look at for years to come! So my sleeve is of Plumerias (which is my cultures favorite flower to wear in their hair or behind their ear, and I just think this flower is so simple yet beautiful) floating in the ocean. The ocean represents the fact that I love the water, and that the ocean surrounds the islands Samoa and New Zealand where I come from.
I always love to see other Inked Mommas!"

"This is a picture of both of my tattoos—the star is the first tattoo I got, kind of plain, but the wings are my favorite. The initials are my sons'—IMHT, Ian Mark Hampton Tilson, and HAT, Hayden Alexander Tilson."
-Danielle, North Carolina, Parenting.com reader
- Heather, GA
"I'd like to say the stars have meaning, but I got them because I like what stars represent. They are always associated with something great or amazing, whether it be the cosmos, the American Flag, or just a good job for going pee-pee in the potty."
-Heather, Georgia, Parenting.com reader
"The flowers are my girls, Sasha and Vivian. I got it when they were toddlers. Two peonies, my favorite flowers, twins, but different, growing up on the same vine."
-Stephanie, mom of Sasha and Vivian
"I have a number of tattoos, but this is the one that people ask about the most. Adults invariably speculate about its meaning, or ask 'Is that some kind of a fish-cat-panther-mermaid?' Kids, however, always say, without batting an eye, 'Hey, it's a catfish.' I didn't actually have an idea about what it is when I got it (I was 18), but I'm going to go with catfish."
-Taylor, Digital Content Manager for PopSci.com
"I used to work next to an open field by a resevoir, and the day that I learned I was pregnant I got out of my car and saw a swarm of something just a few feet from the ground. It was the most amazing sight! As I got closer and found that it was what seemed to be millions of baby dragon flies. Now, whenever I see one, I think of that day and how simply incredible it was to see, and I feel new life the way that I did."
-Vanessa, California, Parenting.com reader
Dawn, mom of new baby boy Vittorio Michael
"This is the only tattoo I have, and I am so proud of it. As you can see, it is not like most, having no black ink in it whatsoever. People actually think it is a wash off since the colors are so fun and vibrant. It means 'with peace, comes love and harmony amongst all creatures.'"
-De'Serae, Virginia, Parenting.com reader
"This tattoo is my son's actual handprint with his name."
-Heather, Georgia, Parenting.com reader
"I wanted something big on the back of my neck, and wanted to show that I'm Christian so I went with this. The artist drew it up for me and viola!"
-Caryn, Tennessee, Parenting.com reader
"My tattoo says 'happily ever after.' I got this for my son, because first off, I'm a huge fan of Disney and happy endings, and well, Landin is my prince charming, hence the crown!"
-Lindsay, Parenting.com reader
"My tattoo was done just 3 years ago when I turned 18, although I had planned it for a year. It is of three forget-me-not flowers. They are in honor of three friends of mine that passed away in high school: Grant Ringenberg, Jerel Hudson and Michael Roach. The blossoming bud is a symbol of their new eternal lives and the ribbon holds all of them together.
My next tattoo will be on my ribs and they will be of my son's footprints, the size they were at birth, with some other details behind them. I haven't quite finished the design yet. I'll be sure to send in pictures of that one as well!"
-Erika, North Carolina, Parenting.com reader
"I absolutly love being a inked-up mom. I have 27 tattoos so far, and I'm the mother of two teenage daughters and an almost 1-year-old son. I love seeing other moms with ink."
-Jenn, New Jersey, Parenting.com reader
"My tattoo is a Carnation with both of my daughter's names above and below it. Why a carnation? Because January was the month that they were born, and the carnation is the flower for that month. My oldest daughter, Desiree, 2 1/2 was born on January 24, and my youngest, Shyann, 7 months, was born on January 8. I got the tattoo with just Desiree's name when she was 1 month old, and since added Shyann's name just a couple months ago!"
-Debbie, California, Parenting.com reader
"I got the tattoo in Las Vegas for my 21st birthday. The large blue star is a symbol for my grandmother who passed away when I was 14. We were very close so I wanted to honor her. The smaller pink star is for my daughter, Haley. I plan on getting two more stars, a red one for my husband and a smaller star for our second child."
-Rachel, Missouri, Parenting.com reader

"This tattoo says 'Omnia Causa Fiunt,' which means everything happens for a reason in Latin. I came up with the idea after going through some family issues, and I pulled through it with my head held high."
-Jamie, Pennsylvania, Parenting.com reader
-Cara, Parenting.com reader
"This tattoo means a lot to me—probably my favorite out of the four that I have. The two little feet are for my sons ages 4 and 2, and the star is a nautical star for my Daddy, who was in the Navy and a Vietnam vet. He passed away the day before I found out I was pregnant with my youngest son. And to add to that, my youngest son was born on my Daddy's birthday!"
-Lee Ann, Mississippi, Parenting.com reader
"Here is a photo of one of four of my tattoos. This particular one is on my ankle and is a wrap-around. It has my oldest sons initials, VVV, through the rose vine. He is my first born of 5 children. I have many more tats to get as well! I love tattoos."
-Katrina, Florida, Parenting.com reader
"This is of my oldest daughters initials—Lyndsie Nikole. She got to pick out the color of the star because it is her favorite. I'm going to get my others daughters initials on my other hip, too. I figure that if I've got the stretch marks for them, I might as well show it off!"
-Kailene, Parenting.com reader
"This is my third tattoo, but also my most meaningful. The stencil that was used for this tattoo is a duplicate copy of my first baby's footprint from the delivery room. She is 17 months old now. Not only has she left footprints on my heart, now she's got one on my foot as well!"
-Parenting.com reader
"This is on my lower back and it represents the two miscarriages I had, and the spiritual travel of the souls to our Lord in Heaven."
-RaeAnn, Parenting.com reader
"This is one of my tattoos—and my most important one at that. It's my daughters initials: NR, Nayeli Rose."
-Sarah, California, Parenting.com reader
-Lindsay, Pennsylvania, Parenting.com reader and mom of Jack, 3, and Kate, 7 months

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lipscomb cross country head coach Bill Taylor released the 2012 cross country schedule, Wednesday. Each squad has nine potential meets lined up for the fall.
The upcoming schedule has been adjusted from years past. For the first time since 2008, Lipscomb will open the season outside the state of Tennessee at the FGCU Invite, Aug. 31. This meet will take place on Florida Gulf Coast's Buckingham Property, the site of the 2012 Atlantic Sun Championships.
"Since we've never run there before, I feel we need to see what the course is like," Taylor said. "I want to have our athletes run in hot conditions that will be similar to what we will face at the ASUN Championships."
Lipscomb returns to Nashville for two consecutive meets at Percy Warner Park: the Belmont Opener (Sept. 7) and the Vanderbilt Invite (Sept. 15).
"Belmont and Vanderbilt are traditional local meets on our home course," Taylor said. "We are probably going to sit many of our top runners this year for one or both of these meets, which is unfortunate in that it's local and on the same course we train on a lot, but we have bigger goals for the season."
The women's team will go to Toledo's InterRegional BubbleBuster, a four-kilometer race at Ottawa Park, on Sept. 20 while the men's team takes a week off.
"The women's team was invited to the Toledo BubbleBuster this year," Taylor said. "It's a great meet with top Division I competition from many of the different regions in the U.S. This is the first opportunity for our women to earn at-large points for national championship qualifying. It's an honor to be invited to such a terrific meet and we are excited to go face tough competition."
Both teams will be back in action at the Louisville Classic, Sept. 29, at Tom Sawyer State Park. A staple of Taylor's schedule over the past few years, Louisville was the site of Isaiah Greer's 10th-place eight-kilometer run last season that led the men's squad to a team victory and a then career-best 17:51.24s five-kilometer run by Tessa Hoefle.
"We always go to the Louisville Classic," Taylor said. "We have traditionally done very well there. If it's dry it is a fast course. If it's wet, it's not, but with the National Championships there this year, we get two opportunities to race there.
"Because it is the National Championship course, the fields will be loaded with fast ranked-teams, which also means these two races provide us with another great opportunity to earn at-large points for nationals."
The women will get a weekend off following Louisville, while the men are scheduled for the Florida State Invite (Oct. 5) at Apalachee Regional Park.
"It's the first time we've ever gone down there," Taylor said. "In addition to great competition and a new location, Florida State will host the NCAA I South Region Championships this year, so we will get a chance to preview the course."
The Bisons and Lady Bisons return to Louisville and Tom Sawyer Park Oct. 13 for the Louisville Pre-Nationals.
The Lady Bisons will defend their 2011 A-Sun Championship and the men's team will go for its first-ever title when they return to FGCU and the Buckingham Property on Oct. 27 for the A-Sun Championships.
Just over a month after their first trip to Tallahassee, the Bisons and Lady Bisons will return for the NCAA Division I South Regional Championship, Nov. 9.
"At the South Region Championships our women hope to put themselves in the mix to go to Nationals this year," Taylor said. "We have a lot of work to do and we must make some significant progress to do it; however we are not far off. The men will look for their best ever Regional finish and want to show that they will be in the mix for nationals very soon."
If all goes well at the South Region, the Bisons and Lady Bisons will return to Louisville on Nov. 17 for the NCAA National Championships.
"We would love to get a team to the National Championships this year," Taylor said. "It's a tall order and would be a historic accomplishment. We love the Louisville course and are very familiar with it. Our goals are to get there. We will certainly do everything we can this year to try to see that happen."

CHICAGO, Ill. – Despite over 200 years of combined history among the academic powers, Allegheny and Chicago met on the gridiron for the first time on Saturday at legendary Stagg Field. Unfortunately for the Gator faithful, the Maroons rode an outstanding defensive effort en route to a 10-0 victory.
Saturday's loss marked the first time Allegheny had been shutout since a 3-0 overtime loss to Westminster early in the 2003 season. The Gators' defense played well, especially during the early part of the action where Chicago's average drive start was its own 40-yard line. However, the offense sputtered against an outstanding effort by Chicago's defensive front.
Allegheny, which finished the day with a 182 yards of offense, averaged just 1.4 yards per rush while closing with 39 net yards on the ground. The Gators were just 3-of-13 on third down, and were unable to capitalize on seven first downs off of penalties.
The Maroons manufactured the only touchdown of the day after taking advantage of their best starting field position of the afternoon. A defense that couldn't get a rest through much of the opening frame put Chicago in a fourth-and-12 from the Gators' 29-yard line. Throwing into coverage, Vincent Cortina split the defense while Sam Coleman hauled in a tremendous catch for what was ultimately the game-winning score. Following the point-after, the Maroons moved ahead, 7-0, with three minutes left in the first quarter.
A solid performance by the Blue and Gold defense kept Chicago at bay until a 36-yard field goal by Jeff Sauer with six minutes left in regulation extended the deficit to a pair of possessions. Allegheny, which had its two best drives of the day thwarted on downs, saw its final hopes fade after fumbling in its final series.
Brad Burkley, John Douglas, Bill Devlin and Rick Howser tied for the team lead with eight tackles a piece. Douglas had a sack and two more tackles for loss in extending his team-high for the season to 11 stops behind the line of scrimmage. Colin Hartford also played well, making three tackles while getting credit for two pass break-ups.
Senior Mike Person finished 24-of-33 for 136 yards, but was intercepted just prior to halftime. Derrick Emigh totaled seven catches for 42 yards, while Andrew Niklaus had six catches for 45 yards.
Chicago's defense fueled the non-conference victory after allowing Allegheny into the red zone just once during the tilt. The Gators, who were converting on fourth down at an 80% clip entering the game, was 0-for-3 in fourth down situations. The Maroons also prevented any big plays, as a 12-yard completion served as Allegheny's longest play of the day.

So far 2011 may go down as one of the most busy development years in recent Chestnut Hill memory.
I don't go back around here too long, but I've covered my share of development and zoning brouhahas: The Germantown Avenue Bridge and the Super Fresh (now Pathmark) "Wall" along Mermaid Lane are two favorites.
This year is just about halfway over and, so far, we've seen four major projects occupy the pages of the Local. There was the Fresenius Dialysis Center and Green Woods Charter School. The Chestnut Hill College expansion at SugarLoaf has come to a critical point in which the college has received the zoning it wants, but its near neighbors are promising to sue. Last week, the public finally got a full-color view of Bowman Properties' vision for a grocery store, retail and residential complex for the former Magarity Ford site at 8200 Germantown Ave.
Each proposal inevitably pits two distinct ideas against each other: the peace and quiet of a residential community vs. the development that promises a mix of shiny new buildings, more foot traffic and better business for the Avenue. For neighbors, these projects bear directly on quality of life. For businesses, they are an essential question of the Avenues retail viability.
The Fresh Market proposal hits this intersection with particular force. The plan calls for an attractive, modern development smack in the middle of the Avenue, arguably in a place that could really use it. It also will transform the immediate residential neighborhood, shading residents of West Hartwell lane with five stories of new construction and reversing traffic in front of their homes from west to east.
A lot of those neighbors, though definitely not all, are obviously worried that the Bowman development is too large and will bring too much traffic to the block. Some have pointed out that a new grocery store will needlessly compete with all of the other food purveyors on the Hill, from Top of the Hill Market and the Cheese Shop to Weavers Way and the Farmers Market.
I've only talked to a few key business owners in the area, and all are adamantly supportive. All say the development will be a big boon to bringing people to Chestnut Hill. I wouldn't call their support for Bowman's proposal desperate, but it's certainly at a scale for which business people here are hungry. They acknowledge that the market will compete with established businesses here, but even two business people with stake in those well-established businesses say they are OK with that.
The outcome of Bowman's proposal and whether or not that proposal is endorsed by the Chestnut Hill Community Association poses a tough question: Is a development this size good for Chestnut Hill or not? It's a tough call to make. And I, for one, am glad I don't have to make that call because I'm not sure it's possible without a crystal ball.
I think it's right for Chestnut Hillers to be worried about preserving the scale of this neighborhood, one that has helped it earn broad recognition as one of Philadelphia's best neighborhoods and destinations.
On the other hand, Germantown Avenue's commercial vitality is a key to the neighborhood's well being that can't be ignored. As much as neighbors would like things to remain the same, to keep the Avenue vital, Hill residents, particularly those close to the Avenue, need to accept an approporiate level of development.
I think everyone agrees that development on the Avenue is important, but finding that "appropriate level" is a real challenge.

For Ugandans, by Ugandans
Daniel Morgan ('10) found solutions that come from within a community are the key to sustainable change
By Martha Bell Graham
It takes something more fundamental than enthusiasm, money, time — or even commitment — to permanently change the world. Daniel Morgan ('10) knows this well. After multiple trips to Uganda, Morgan has learned that one critical aptitude supersedes all others in the pursuit of lasting, sustained change.
That aptitude is the determination to understand native people, their needs and their desires. It is the ability to value and nurture their willingness and ability to create their own futures. But most importantly, it is acquiring the understanding that for Uganda to be changed it must be done by Ugandans.
"What they truly need is self-respect and self-empowerment," Morgan says. "I've learned that when an expatriate 'comes in with a solution,' it almost always stifles the 'can-do' attitude within the community. The solution should come from within the community, that way, when the expatriate leaves — even if he helped spur that solution on — the people have the excitement and empowerment to change their own situations in the future."
When Morgan first traveled to Gulu, Uganda, in the summer of 2008 as part of a church mission trip, he headed there with the typically abundant enthusiasm many students have to change the world. Uganda, landlocked in East Africa, is a poor country torn by decades of civil war, but — as Morgan learned — the people of Uganda are rich with compassion, generosity and talent.
As a designer Morgan also saw the beauty and creativity of the world Ugandans inhabit: the sheer beauty and ingenuity of the thatched structures they build, the enthusiasm they exhibit for creation and their willingness to work hard.
As an observer coming from the abundance of the "can-do" American culture, he watched the Ugandan people make bricks, a hard, long and labor intensive process. He wondered: Could the brick making process be improved?
"Perhaps I should have wondered," he says now, "'would improving the brick process really improve the status quo?'"
After returning to JMU the following fall, and calling on his own creativity as a sculpture major, the young art major from Lynchburg designed a mixer that he believed would help the Ugandan people perform this important task faster and easier. His idea gained significant traction when he engaged the support of Ferguson Industrial Plastics. Eventually, the company produced a large, shiny and expensive mixer, which Morgan and their engineers had designed.
A better way to help
Here, however, is where the story diverges. As Morgan grew to know the Ugandan people, he grasped a better way to help. He quickly realized that the shiny, American-made $5,000 mixer was a failure.
So the next year Morgan made another mixer while he was in Uganda — this one fashioned out of materials scavenged around the local market. "It might not be as efficient, or work as quickly, but the $150 version was more successful in Uganda because it's easy to understand how it works, it's easy to fix when it breaks, and it's not intimidating to use."
"This version was a collaboration with Ugandan minds, which is why it turned out better, I am sure," he says. "It fit better into the Ugandan culture."
Sustainable design — the kind that lasts — must originate from the culture, Morgan learned. Designers can create a product that is faster, smoother, more efficient, but Morgan says, "If it isn't culturally acceptable, then it won't get used, no matter how efficient it is. For a design to truly arise from within a culture, it doesn't mean the designer is living in the culture, it means the designer is of the culture. A Ugandan design from a Ugandan.
Co-designing the future
If a product uses "local materials and methods, then we can get the product made in-country, which fuels the local economy," Morgan says — another plus. "And when using local materials the product will most likely be more culturally sensitive by nature."
Creating inventions whose genesis is in the local society rather than in a wealthy, developed nation, is not always easy and is not accomplished without taking the time to learn, appreciate and value the native culture.
"Assuming one day I became a good enough designer that I could come up with culturally sensitive products that help areas of life here, should I make it my life's ambition to do so?" Morgan says. "I used to think so. But to achieve true, sustained development, we need to be creating more than good designs. We need to create good designers — people who have been raised in this culture and who know intimately the cultural norms and constraints that they are designing within. These young creatives will then take the reins from expatriate designers and start innovating solutions to their own problems."
It is through these experiences that Morgan learned the critical importance of "co-designing." "It doesn't matter how long I stay here, the locals will always know the culture better than I and therefore be in a far better place to be solving problems."
Morgan believes that the creativity needed for change is already in Uganda. He interned last summer in Kampala, and returned in the fall, to work with Dr. Moses Musaazi, who was educated at Imperial College of London and returned to teach engineering at Makerere University in Kampala. Musaazi founded Technology for Tomorrow, a company creating sustainable solutions to environmental and economic problems in East Africa. Here Morgan saw firsthand the value of co-design and of generating and encouraging the creative spirit of indigenous peoples.
During his seven-week stint, he worked on alternatives to cement in brick making, on the design of ultra-low cost skylights and on banana fiber as a roofing material. He also worked on that second mixer. "This was a really fun project because I got to create this Frankenstein-machine made from old car parts, an old 55-gallon drum and various scrap metal."
Empower change
While the potential for change exists, there are still hurdles to overcome. Morgan cites Thomas Edison's famous statistics: 10,000 failures for one success. Even in the United States, the speculative nature of design is often shunned as impractical, or worse as too expensive. In Kampala and in developing nations the perceived and real expense of creativity is a luxury that might seem frivolous in a country where poverty is endemic.
Morgan says for development efforts to truly work they must be sensitive to local culture.
"The problem is compounded in the developing world because people are so worried about making a decent living that they don't think it's responsible to develop those creative skills." But that's a false notion because creativity drives innovation, which will eventually lead to development.
"I think the best way to help achieve change is to cultivate the changes already budding from within, or by empowering local students to create change they deem important."
Morgan cites an example: "Even the second mixer, though it is more 'appropriate' than its predecessor in every way, is still not an example of ethical aid. Though it was a co-design, because I was driving the project, it was not 'owned' by the nationals. This is the root of the problem with so much aid today. Yes, the device might make construction easier, but it does not make anyone less poor. It doesn't make them realize their potential and strive for a new future they own."
Change that is truly sustainable, Daniel learned, is by Ugandans for Ugandans. A future they own.

I just started watching this series and we're only on the second episode. Worth the watch.
Well up there with Monk or House, what have you.
It's on Scifi and the next ep is in two weeks. They'll probably have rerun in between for those just tuning in.
Based upon the novels by Tim Butcher(I think that's it).
I'm not excellent on descriptions but it's about the only Wizard working in the greater Chicago area. Yes, an actual wizard with magic powers and all. Don't sell it short just by that, the series manages a feel that doesn't look cheesey or obnoxious.
Unfortunately it's another detective show, which are kind of getting old. Even then I'm hooked. My parents, two of my friends are as well.
The first episode details Dresden's past as a little boy while also going over him meeting a boy quite like himself at a young age terrified that monsters are going to kill hs mother and him.

Wine is a popular gift during the Yuletide and New Year's holidays. With a marvellous range of flavours and aromas, the appropriate wines can enhance the foods consumed at this time of year and add festive cheer to celebrations.
But as with every gift you give, use your best judgment. "There's not much point in giving wine to people who don't have an appreciation of it," says John Schreiner, Vancouver-based author of eight books on wine including The Wines of Canada (Mitchell Beazley, 2005) and The Wineries of British Columbia (third edition, Whitecap Books, 2009).
"When you do give wine," he adds, "know something about the recipient's tastes and interests. Does he or she like red or white, Pinot Noir or Chardonnay? If she enjoyed a recent trip to Italy, an Italian red may be a good choice."
There are two types of wine gifts you'll give over the holidays: the bottle of wine you'll present to your host or hostess at a dinner or house party, and the gift of wine you'll wrap up as a formal gift.
"I'd spend about $25 on a bottle of wine I'd take to a party, and about $40 on more formal gifts," Mr. Schreiner says. "But I'd steer away from extremely popular wines. Chances are the person will already have it. Show a little imagination."
Randie Kushnier, Winnipeg-based president and chairman of the Opimian Society, a Canadian wine-buying co-operative, notes that most Canadian wine sellers, both independently run wine stores and provincial liquor control boards, are well aware of current consumer interest in wine and are training their staff to help shoppers.
If there's a good local winery in your area, Mr. Schreiner says a gift from one of them may be a winner. "Here in British Columbia, so much pride is taken in quality local wines that a good B.C. wine is the socially acceptable gift."
He tends to give red wines at this time of year "when the cuisine is often more flattered by reds." Looking beyond local? He suggests the big Sicilian reds and recommends Dr. Cosimo Taurino winery's Salice Salentino Riserva, which he calls "a low-risk choice: a reliable, rich, full-bodied red with soft tannins and available across Canada."
He also suggests looking at Primitivos, Italy's version of California's Zinfandels but with the structure of Old World wines.
For white wine fans, he suggests a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand's Wither Hills winery.
"Other than France and possibly Chile, New Zealand is the best place for Sauvignon Blancs. Wither Hills' version has a vivid personality, the aromas jump right out of the glass. It has a fairly high acidity making it refreshingly tangy on the palate." It might be too vivid for some palates, he adds, and a Pinot Grigio from Italy or by Canada's Inniskillin will deliver most of that pleasure without being quite so theatrical.
Sparkling wine is always a hit during the holidays. "If you can afford a real French Champagne, it will start around $50," Mr. Schreiner says.
"If you don't want to spend that kind of money, look at Spanish sparkling wines." He suggests Freixenet and Segura Viudas.
For extra-special occasions, Kushnier suggests Sir Winston Churchill Cuvee from France's Pol Roger winery. "It's the most spectacular champagne I've ever tasted with a toasty, nutty flavour. Around $250."

Here we are, at the snow-capped summit of NaBloPoMountain. Exhilirating, isn't it? Can you feel the giddy? I feel the giddy. Although it might just be the thin air up here. And all that pure oxygen.
Yes, I changed the metaphor from a marathon to a mountain climb. But it's appropriate, don't you think?
- For one, we all climbed Everest because it was there, and now it's time to strip off the crampons, tip your sherpa, and savor the view.
- For two, climbing Everest isn't even that big a deal anymore. In the mere 53 years since Hillary first reached its peak, Everest has become so crowded with climbers and litter and frozen poo balls that it is now considered the "world's highest junkyard." Awesome, mankind! A majestic peak, millions of years in the making, and in no time flat we turn it into a toilet.
- For three, this blopathon has been transformative, and I have an entirely new approach to and appreciation for what leaps from my fingertips each night.
So much has happened this month. So many changes ahead, so many new mountains to climb. So much more wireless to poach, now that our new neighbor has finally gotten her act in gear. (W00t!) And so many new readers, who sent my daily traffic up by about a third. Thank you all for enduring this with me. And special thanks to Eden, the mother of this precious brainchild.
So what happens now? Do we all heave a collective sigh and power down for the weekend? What if no one blogged tomorrow? Would our computer screens buckle inward from the content vacuum? Would hundreds of thousands of lurkers suddenly have nothing to do but ... be productive?
It's a monstrous thought.

Robert Classic French Film Festival
Friday, March 2, 2018 to Sunday, March 25, 2018
The 10th Annual Robert Classic French Film Festival — co-presented by Cinema St. Louis and the Webster University Film Series — celebrates St. Louis' Gallic heritage and France's cinematic legacy. The featured films span the decades from the 1920s through the 1990s, offering a revealing overview of French cinema.
Jumper Blue Real Esprit Esprit Real Jumper This year's fest kicks off with a screening of Bertrand Tavernier's acclaimed documentary "My Journey Through French Cinema," the director's personal reflections on key films and filmmakers. Several of the works he highlights — such as Jacques Becker's "Casque d'or" and Jean-Pierre Melville's "Le Samouraï" — are screened at this year's fest.
The fest annually includes significant restorations, and this year features New Wave master Jacques Rivette's visually sumptuous "La belle noiseuse." The fest also provides one of the few opportunities available in St. Louis to see films projected the old-school, time-honored way, with Jean Renoir's "Boudu Saved from Drowning" and Julien Duvivier's "Pépé le moko" screening from 35mm prints. Even more traditional, we also offer silent films with live music: St. Louis' own Rats & People Motion Picture Orchestra will accompany two short features by Germaine Dulac, playing original scores created especially for the screening.
The schedule is rounded out by such celebrated and essential films as Robert Bresson's "Pickpocket," Jean-Luc Godard's "Alphaville," and Leos Carax's "Lovers on the Bridge."
Every program features introductions and discussions by film or French scholars and critics. The discussions will place the works in the contexts of both film and French history and provide close analyses.
All films are in French with English subtitles.

I'm lucky enough to have access to three shops, two in New York, one in Pennsylvania. The shop in PA is a small shed in the Poconos where I do a lot of my bigger pieces. Another shop is at the Gowanus Studio Space (gowanusstudio.org), a fantastic place in Brooklyn that is packed with inspiring designers and artists. And the newest workspace is at the NYU Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP - itp.nyu.edu/itp/), I get to use laser cutters and CNC routers there. Like I said, I'm very lucky.
MacGyver. I know he is not technically a designer, or even real for that matter. But the MacGyver character got me making and designing at a very young age. I still carry a Swiss Army knife around with me just in case I need to build some sort of contraption or dismantle a bomb.
The Eames Lounge Chair, it's a classic for a reason. It is not only beautiful but incredibly comfortable. Just about any Eames design can be considered a favorite, but ever since I've sat in one of these babies, I've been hooked.

Protecting Your Valuable Electronics from Power Surges
I was working with a client recently who was replacing the item shown above — what her computer used to be plugged into — with a decent surge protector. But even her new surge protector may not be providing the protection she thinks she's getting — something I just learned thanks to David Douthitt, who got me reading Power, Surge Protection, PCs, and You by Jeff Atwood.
That article made me want to learn more, so I went on to read what This Old House and How Stuff Works had to say. Now I'm beginning to understand this subject, and I'm looking at what changes I may want to make to my own home, and suggest to clients.
I've always had my computer and my stereo equipment on a surge protector — and it's a good thing, because I've had one go dead after it protected my computer. (Another lesson: Have a spare surge protector on hand, so if one goes out, you can replace it and keep using your equipment, even if the stores are closed.) I added a surge protector to a lamp that proved to be especially susceptible to surges, after paying for repairs a couple times. And when I stayed with friends in Paris, I bought a surge protector to use while charging my iPhone and iPad.
But here are some things I either never thought about, or forgot.
1. It's not just the computer and the home theater you might want to protect.
As This Old House explains, lots of expensive electronics that you might not think about can be hurt by power spikes or surges: that Sub-Zero refrigerator, for example.
Photo from Lowe's.
2. Surges can be caused by things inside our homes.
This Old House explains that surges can be caused by "cycling on and off of laser printers, electric dryers, air conditioners, refrigerators, and other energy-sucking devices in the home."
How Stuff Works elaborates, noting that while people worry about lightning, "A more common cause of power surges is the operation of high-power electrical devices, such as elevators, air conditioners and refrigerators. These high-powered pieces of equipment require a lot of energy to switch on and turn off components like compressors and motors. This switching creates sudden, brief demands for power, which upset the steady voltage flow in the electrical system. While these surges are nowhere near the intensity of a lightning surge, they can be severe enough to damage components, immediately or gradually."
3. Not all surge damage is immediately obvious.
See that part about gradually in the prior item?
Here's what This Old House says: "The damage inflicted by these minor power fluctuations can be instantaneous — but may not show up for some time. 'You might not even notice it,' says Andy Ligor, a consultant with A.M.I. Systems Inc., a firm that installs both residential and commercial surge-protection systems. 'Then a year or so later your microwave stops working.'"
And Surgeassure, another company providing surge protection, says: "Surges are caused most often from utility disturbances and internally generated surges. It is common for homeowners to lose equipment due to surge damage and not even realize it. Many 'mysterious' computer problems such as contaminated or irretrievable files are actually due to electrical surges. Also, breakdowns and replacements of electronic equipment due to what you think of as 'normal' wear and tear may actually be due to internally or externally caused surges."
It's not just surge protection vendors who say this, either. Here's Jeff Atwood, quoting Dan's Data: "Spikes are the real nasties. A spike is a brief increase in the supply voltage — less than 2.5 seconds, often a lot less. For a fraction of a second, a spike can easily subject your equipment to several hundred volts. If this doesn't blow something up outright, it can progressively damage power supply and other components. So, after a few (or a few hundred) more spikes and surges, your PC dies, for no obvious reason. You may lose a power supply or modem; you may lose your motherboard; you may even lose your hard drive and everything on it."

4. Phone and cable lines matter, too.
As This Old House says: "A surge will follow any wire into a house — phone and cable lines included — and threaten fax and answering machines, televisions, satellite systems, computers, and modems."
And How Stuff Works elaborates: "Even if you connect surge protectors to all of your outlets, your equipment might be exposed to damaging surges from other sources. Telephone and cable lines can also conduct high voltage — for full protection, you should also guard against surges from your telephone or cable lines. ... If your computer is connected to the phone lines via a modem, you should get a surge protector that has a phone-line input jack. If you have a coaxial cable line hooked up to expensive equipment, consider a cable surge protector. Surges on these lines can do just as much damage as surges over power lines."
5. The best protection comes from using a whole-house system plus those individual protectors we're used to using.
I'd forgotten about whole-house systems until I was chatting with website developer Kevin Henney yesterday, who mentioned them to me. And then I remembered that I'd heard about them before from the folks at Positive Electric, who seem to use the Surgeassure products. That picture above is the company's illustration of a breaker panel surge protector.
As This Old House says: "Guarding against surges requires a two-pronged approach: a whole-house suppressor to tame the big, dangerous power spikes and an individual circuit (or 'plug-in') surge suppressor for vulnerable appliances and electronic devices. ... By themselves, whole-house suppressors can't stop surges completely; up to 15 percent of excess voltage may leak by. That's where 'plug-in' surge protectors come in."
6. It pays to invest in good surge protectors.
I'll let you read This Old House yourself to get the ratings to look for. But here's something it's easy to overlook, as explained by State Farm: "Select a point-of-use surge protector that has an indicating light and/or audible alarm to show when it needs a replacement."
Note that the indicator light mentioned is not the same as a simple "power on" light; the surge protector might still power on and serve as a basic power strip even if the surge protection components have burned out. The Tripp Lite ISOBAR Ultra series are what Atwood recommends.
You can also get a UPS — an uninterruptible power supply; some of these include surge protection. How Stuff Works suggests that a basic UPS, just by itself, is probably not the way to go: "An ordinary UPS WILL give you a high level of protection, but you should still use a surge protector. A UPS will stop most surges from reaching your computer, but it will probably suffer severe damage itself. It's a good idea to use a basic surge protector, if just to save your UPS."
Update: Note that some say plugging a UPS into a surge protector is a bad idea.

Perfect timing for me on this post -- thanks! I just learned way more than I even knew to ask about from you.
BTW, how's Puppy?

You're very welcome, Claire!
Puppy has been doing very well the past couple days - eating like normal. Yay! And he seems to have a bit more energy, too.
He still get scared of the other cats sometimes, and goes and hides on the floor of my bedroom, between the blankets and the side of the bed - a perfect kitty hideout. But all three cats were cuddled up in bed with me last night.
I think he might like to go outside - he's normally a largely-outside cat, and it's nice and sunny today - but I'm not allowing that until I check with the vet tomorrow. He'll have his 2-week post-surgery visit then, and he'll get his second round of chemo. (And maybe he's finding he LIKES being inside where it's warm!)

Dappy has been found guilty of affray in connection with a brawl at a petrol station.
The 25-year-old N-Dubz rapper was also convicted by a jury at Guildford Crown Court in Surrey of a charge of assault by beating which involved him spitting at a man.
The singer was cleared of two charges of common assault in which he was accused of spitting at but missing two 19-year-old women.
The week-long trial heard that Dappy, charged under his real name of Costadinos Contostavlos, had been out on February 27 last year celebrating the release of his single Rockstar featuring Queen guitarist Brian May.
After spending the night in the VIP area of the Casino nightclub in Guildford, the group were travelling back in three cars to the recording studios in Godalming where Dappy was recording his debut solo album when they stopped at a Shell garage.
Brian Stork, prosecuting, claimed that Dappy approached Grace Cochran and Serena Burton, both 19, who were sitting on the kerb outside the station shop and tried to persuade them to get into the car with him to continue the party at the studios.
The court was told that when they refused these advances and began to ridicule him, Dappy allegedly became angry and called them sluts. He was then accused of spitting at them but missing – the two counts of common assault faced by the singer.
Mr Stork said a man called David Jenkins who had been talking to the two women then stepped in to protect them, but was spat at by Dappy. This spitting, which hit Mr Jenkins, makes up the charge of assault by beating. The court heard that Mr Jenkins put the rapper in a headlock, leading to several other people joining in the fight.
The jury also found Kieran Vassell, 25, guilty of affray and Kalonji Stewart, 32, not guilty of affray. A fourth man, Alfred Miller, 28, has pleaded guilty to affray and his case was adjourned for sentence at the end of the trial.
Judge Neil Stewart adjourned the case for pre-sentence reports to be prepared on Dappy and Vassell. Sentencing was set to be carried out on February 15 and the pair were released on unconditional bail until then.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - The MIT softball team were eliminated from the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) tournament on Saturday afternoon with its loss to Wheaton College with a score of 4-1. Sophomore Kelly Wang (La Canada, Calif.) scored the lone run in the seventh inning.
The Engineers wrapped up their season with a record of 19-14, the most wins they have ever had since the 1984 season. The Lyons are now 25-15 and will continue tournament play tomorrow.
Wheaton scored its first run of the day at the bottom of the first inning when Emma Hart scored off a single by Jenna Rocha. At the top of the second inning, senior Leah Alpert (Needham, Mass.) singled and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by sophomore Ellie Fodor (Trenton, Mich.), but the inning ended before Alpert could get much further. With two more Wheaton runs at the bottom of the third and another in the fourth, the Engineers were trailing 4-0.
At the top of the seventh inning, Wang was hit by the pitch and advanced to second on a wild pitch. She advanced to third on a single by Van Belleghem and made it home off a single by freshman Alexandra Marshall (Glen Head, N.Y.). Van Belleghem made it to third and Marshall was at second before the game ended.
Marshall went 1-for-2 with one RBI, while Wang went 0-for-1 with one run. Fodor was at the mound for the first 0.1 inning, allowing three hits and giving up one run, while striking out one batter. Marshall came in as relief and pitched the remaining 5.2 innings, allowing two hits and three runs, while striking out ten batters.

Stanczyk has been exploring Newspapers.com. I am a bit disappointed at its overall effectiveness, which I attribute to poor OCR capabilities and a difficult user interface that provides a disappointing user experience (UX).
However, it is not without its redeeming qualities. For example Newspaper.com has a Clipping capability which produces a PDF document that you can share in social network web sites or even make public in Newspapers.com to attract others doing similar research. So today's blog article is about that clipping capability.

The above is from Stanczyk's twitter post and you need to follow the link to see the PDF clipping on Newspapers.com.
Please do me a favor and click the link and let me know whether you see the clipping and can download it. Please email me back your results. Thanks!
Stanczyk, thanks Buz Kuzan for working with me to get the "Clippings" to be accessible. The links should work no matter who you are. Check out the "Comments on this article" for a couple more clippings!

Sick, but so worldly.
May 22, 2008
I've been out of commission for the past few days with the stomach flu (gross), but, in between naps, I've been able to take in a few episodes of the BBC's Planet Earth, a multi-part series chronicling all kinds of natural phenomena. My dear husband picked up the whole set at the library, and not a moment too soon, sick-speaking.
For those who haven't seen PE, it's not only a feat of natural history photography, it's also a great encouragement for those of us who strive to live Small: loads of the plants and animals featured — from coral reefs to krill, Arctic polar bears to snow leopards — are being depleted at alarming rates, and many, it is speculated, by human-caused climate change.
So, I suppose if I want the baby who lives next door to see timberwolves outside of an extinct species chart, I'd better keep downing my footprint.
Photo above: From the "Ice Worlds" episode of Planet Earth. Those are Emperor penguins getting ready to wait out the triple-freezing Antarctic winter. They are incubating their eggs in special "pouches" just above their feet and just below their blubber-line. Cool. Literally.

General update on stock and updates 1/15
Hey everyone...
First of all we would just like to thank everyone for their tremendous patience. It has been a very busy month and for reasons that I'm sure you are aware of, we have been overwhelmed with all manner of communication including emails and phone calls. We are very sorry if we are unable to answer your call or email in a timely fashion but we are working diligently to answer as many as possible.
SHIPPING - If you have ordered with us at any time in the last month, please understand that the most common turnaround time for orders at the moment is between 1-2 weeks. Rest assured we are slowly but surely catching up and the turnaround times will vary as we get back to our regular processing cycles.
If you ordered a firearm, please note that your processing cycle cannot begin until we receive a copy of your dealer's FFL license. In order to avoid delays relating to acquiring the license, please contact your dealer upon purchase and have them FAX or email their license to our office. It is also very important that you note your dealer's information in the "Ship to" section of the checkout process so that we can associate your order with an FFL licensed destination. We can call your dealer on your behalf, but because of the excessive volume of calls this will cause a considerable delay in processing your order. Any handguns or lower receivers ordered are being processed within a week. Rifles are experiencing delays because of a shortage of available packaging... these should start shipping by the end of the week to early next week.
ETAs and Backorders - There are none. The industry has gathered in Las Vegas this week for SHOT Show and consequently many manufacturers are closing offices while they are away. This is normal for this time of year. Further, because of the excessive order volumes nationwide, there is no way to tell when we will be receiving any inventory for sale. If you would like to be notified of stock when it arrives, please sign up for stock notification on the individual webpage for the product(s) of interest. We will do our best to make timely updates to the inventory and as accurately as possible.
Unfortunately we are unable to accept any backorders at this time. If you have an active backorder, your order will be processed as items come in. However, if you should cancel an order, you cannot get back on the backorder list. I recommend that you leave your order active as a backorder until you are certain you can acquire the parts elsewhere.
Gun Bans and Possible Legislation - We get this question all day every day. Please understand, any forthcoming legislation will be preceded with a preparatory period prior to any new laws going into effect. Due to the depth of required administrative structuring needed for enforcement of the proposed laws, it is likely that the preparatory period will be considerable before any ban can be possible. In other words, if a ban is declared today it will not go into effect tomorrow.
If you need information regarding possible legislation, please consult common sources as we are trying to devote as much of our customer service resources to dealing with order processing and order issues.
Again, we are very grateful for the tremendous patience all of you are showing. You can help us immensely by limiting your communications with us to those relevant to currently active orders only for the time being and only those which have not already been addressed in this message or in previous communications. We are confident that things will soon be closer to normal and we can continue business as usual. We are thankful and proud to serve such great customers and hope that you continue to have faith in us. Safe and happy shooting everyone!

The annual Deep South Fruit and Vegetable Conference and Trade Show will be Dec. 6-7 in Mobile, Ala. About 500 people are expected to attend this multi-state meeting, including growers from Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas and Mississippi.
The conference is hosted by the states' vegetable grower associations, including the Louisiana Vegetable Growers Association.
"Each state used to have its own conference, and about four years ago a multistate meeting was organized," said Carl Motsenbocker, LSU AgCenter horticulture professor. "The conference grows each year."
Motsenbocker is part of the panel discussion of "Mentors in Support of Farmers," which will be featured in the conference's all-day session, "The Future of Farming — New Growers and Small Acreage Farmers."
Other all-day sessions at the conference include topics on agrotourism, blueberry production, organic production and fruit and vegetable production. Agrotourism is the use of farms as attractions for school groups and others, such as the popular corn mazes. It is a growing trend in the area, Motsenbocker said.
Half-day sessions include labor issues, citrus production, cut flower production and high tunnel production.
A commercial trade show is also part of the conference and features farm supply vendors. The meeting will end with a "Taste of the South" reception.
The conference features speakers from universities, as well as farmers from each state. Jimmy Boudreaux, Alan Vaughn, Jeff Kuehny and Donald Ferrin — also from the LSU AgCenter will present sessions at the conference.
The pre-registration form and program can be found on the Deep South Fruit and Vegetable Conference's Web site, www.deepsouthfruitveg.com.
For additional information, contact Motsenbocker at (225) 578-22158 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bob Estrin Photography
Exhibited April, 2008
Arizona photographers win acclaim for their Sonoran desert landscapes, others
for intricate macro-photography of cactus blossoms and lynx spiders, revealing
the world in minute detail. Acclaimed Gilbert photographer Bob Estrin captures
the beauty of nature, but also manages to find the artistic side of empty
homes, decrepit mining-town structures and forgotten debris. His signature
style was on exhibit during April, 2008, in the Visitor Center Gallery here
at Boyce Thompson Arboretum.
"Travel and photography are two of my great passions in life. Photography is the medium of choice for my creative expression, allowing me to document my own experiences. I've been a photographer for more than three decades and find I'm still excited about the power and magic of photography, and its ability to capture my own unique, selective perception of a given moment... preserving that moment in a form that I can share with the viewer." See more of his work at http://www.bobestrin.com
"I grew up in a Northwest suburb of Chicago and became fascinated with photography at an early age, buying my first 35mm camera in 1971 for a high school photography class. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in professional photography from Southern Illinois University, and in 1999 when I moved to Arizona I found the beauty of the Southwest all around me - fueling my passion for photography."
is my goal as artist and photographer to encourage closer examination of ordinary
things by presenting them in unusual context. My subjects vary widely, but
I find myself repeatedly drawn to landscapes and objects from the past such
as ghost towns, abandoned buildings and old cars -- as well as the influence
of man on these subjects."
"A fine photograph is not only the creation of the original camera exposure, but also the result of significant technical and aesthetic consideration while making the final print. My goal is not simply to record a literal moment in time, but also to capture the emotion or experience of that moment."
Higher resolution image of these images are available via http://www.bobestrin.com or by calling 480-926-4281. Read a more in-depth interview with the artist
Bob Estrin Photography Workshops Were April 13 and April 27
Got five questions you wish you could pose to a professional photographer?
Gilbert artist Bob Estrin had a solo exhibition in the visitor center gallery
at Boyce Thompson Arboretum during April, 2008, and he offered two separate
lectures on April 13 and again April 27. designed to help improve participants'
photography. A two-hour "Q-and-A with the Artist" was April 13:
a freewheeling afternoon in the lecture room where Estrin will answer photography
questions emailed in advance by a dozen participants... and also show slides
of his work and talk about photography from both film and digital cameras;
post-processing, printing, and other topics -- a customized lecture entirely
structured around what participants want to know, and supported by the artists'
own photos chosen for relevant explanations.
The April 27 class was an "in-the-field" workshop on landscape photography, exploring how digital photography is changing the way people take pictures, and explaining how to exploit features unique to digital cameras to enhance your photography. Bob Estrin is an award-winning artist whose works have been exhibited at the Arizona Museum for Youth, Chandler's Vision Gallery, Gilbert Municipal Court Building and Gammage Auditorium.
Boyce Thompson Arboretum is located at Highway 60 milepost #223, just three miles west of the town of Superior - a drive of about one hour east of Phoenix or two hours from Tucson (take Oracle Road North to Highway 79 past Florence to Highway 60, then East for another 12 miles).

Reviewed by Danielle M. (age 10)
This book is about Nancy and her friends. My favorite part is when Nancy and her friends tell about their report. The manager of the ice cream shop gives them ice cream. I feel good about this book because they eat ice cream almost everyday and some times I eat ice cream. Also, how I feel is bad because a little boy put salt in one of Nancy's friend's ice cream. Something that relates to my life is my family and friends go eat ice cream once in a while.
I recommend this book because Nancy Drew and her friends do a report on ice cream. People who like ice cream would like this book. The age on this book should be eight years or older.

So it's been a while. How about we start there? March has been crazy busy in all kinds of good ways, few of which have had much to do with knitting … let's recap:
I finished physical therapy, defended my dissertation proposal (!!), and then, as if by divine design, spring break appeared; I did nothing but watch Law & Order and knit until: friends! Three very special ladies descended upon Nashville — and my apartment — for a seriously good time. (They are now all bona-fide PhD professional ladies, so … I've kept the discretion to a maximum.)
First, there was hot chicken at the hot chicken shack:
Oh yeah, I finished my cardigan (Shalom in EcoWool) — just in time to add pickle buttons.
The next night there were fancy drinks downtown …
… followed by some honky tonking on Broadway.
It was one of the best night's out ever: we bought cowboy boots from someone named "Brad Butter" (it was embroidered on his shirt), put on our best clubwear, and danced till the honky tonks closed.
After that, we pretty much decided to concentrate on eating as many fried/ butter-positive foods as possible. Luckily, Nashville is that kind of town.
There was pickle tempura …
… and, the next morning, delicious biscuits to go with country ham, plenty of bacon, hashbrown casserole, and other assorted side-dish staples for breakfast (at 3 in the afternoon).
Finally, I met my Waterloo: the sidecar.
The ingredients might look innocent, but don't be fooled. We toasted, we lounged, we watched It's Complicated, I gave away almost all of my handknit socks to very deserving recipients … And then it was time for everyone to get back to their real lives.
It was a wonderful, tiring, just-right long weekend. Such reunions are made possible, and so much sweeter, by distance … but how I do miss easy proximity and that casual by-chance glass of wine on someone's couch in the evening. And how lucky I am to have had a weekend of nothing but laughter and fun and friendship.
[thanks to M. and B. for all the fabulous photos]

Arguments against laetrile as a therapy cite concerns about possible cyanide toxicity as well as studies that show it is not effective as a cancer treatment. Studies, however, cannot be completely objective, especially on a subject as complex as cancer, which is influenced by so many factors. The proponents of laetrile claim that cyanide is a natural molecule found in food and is not toxic in normal doses; laetrile treatment itself is not known to have any side effects in usual dosages. But, obviously, considering Western medicine's use of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, side effects are not the main concern when treating a life-threatening disease. The proof in any treatment is, ultimately, whether it works.
Amygdalin is not digested in the stomach by hydrochloric acid, but passes into the small intestine where it is acted on by enzymes that split it into various compounds, which are then absorbed.
Sources: Laetrile is found primarily in apricot kernels and comprises about 2–3 percent of the kernel. It is also available in the kernels of other fruits, such as plums, cherries, peaches, nectarines, and apples. The fruit kernels or seeds generally have other nutrients as well—some protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and various minerals. B17 is not found with other B vitamins in yeasts. Many plants do, however, contain some B17, with the sprouting seeds, especially mung bean sprouts, containing the highest amount.
Functions: The specific theoretical function of laetrile is its effect on cancer cells. Normal cells have an enzyme, rhodanase, that inactivates the cyanide molecule of the laetrile compound. Cancer cells do not possess this enzyme. In fact, they have an enzyme, beta-glucosidase, that releases the cyanide, which then poisons the cancer cells.
Uses: The main use for laetrile is in the treatment of cancer, particularly to reduce tumor size and further spread, and to alleviate the sometimes severe pains of the cancerous process. As I stated, more well-designed research needs to be done to determine whether this compound in its natural form is effective. Other uses reported for laetrile have been in the treatment of high blood pressure and rheumatism.
Deficiency and toxicity: There are no known problems caused by not consuming this "vitamin," other than, theoretically, a deficiency could increase the likelihood of developing cancer. There are, however, concerns over toxicity, due to the cyanide within the vitamin or possibly from other metabolic effects. Usually, treatment amounts are limited to 1 gram to reduce potential side effects, which initially are most likely gastrointestinal in nature. Toxicity of this molecule must be researched further.
Requirements:This nutrient is not required as far as we know; in fact, it is against the law in the United States. When used, laetrile is administered at 250–1,000 mg. (1 gram) daily. Higher amounts—up to 3 grams per day—have been used, but divided into several smaller dosages, each usually limited to 1 gram. If the source is whole apricot kernels, the quantity is usually about 10–20 kernels per day; 1–2 cups of fresh mung bean sprouts may provide an equivalent amount. If apricot kernels are blended or pulverized, it is suggested that they be consumed immediately

Two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing have been singled out in surveillance videos of the scene, sources told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday.
U.S. counter-terrorism and law enforcement officials told The Times that the suspects in the Boston bombings were seen in a department store video that caught images of a man leaving a backpack near the finish line.
A second federal official said he has been briefed that authorities believe a second video or photo showed "two men with two backpacks."
STORY: No arrests yet in Boston Marathon bombings
A counter-terrorism official said the suspects were picked out because they were carrying black backpacks, as well as because of their demeanor and how they reacted to the bomb blasts. That official said authorities do not yet know the identities of those in the videos.
