Dental Care at Palmyra Animal Hospital
Overview of Dental Health
We have all been well educated from the time we were children about dental health. Twice daily brushing and semiannual cleanings are normal for all of us. If we become lax we develop tartar accumulation, gingivitis, periodontal disease or cavities.
What about our pets? The reality is that our dogs and cats need dental care too. By the time most dogs and cats reach the age of two years dental plaque (that stuff we try to brush off our teeth every day) has begun to mineralize and adhere to their teeth as tartar. At the same time plaque and tartar are building up under the gum line. This plaque contains millions (literally) of bacteria, which if left in place, will infect the gums causing gingivitis. Unchecked infection under the gumline will cause an incurable disease called periodontitis. Periodontal disease is a painful, progressive loss of infected bone, which with dedicated professional care can be controlled but never cured. The good news is that periodontal disease is almost always preventable if regular dental care is started early enough in life.
Home Dental Care
It is estimated that 60% of all dogs and cats will have early dental disease by the time they are two years of age and 85% are affected by three years of age. Unless treated early, gingivitis and periodontal disease will progress to the point of tooth loss, and a lot of pain along the way. Periodontal disease is virtually 100% preventable if regular dental cleanings are done by a veterinarian and owners care for their pet's teeth at home with the same commitment as for their own teeth. Young dogs and cats can often be trained to accept tooth brushing at home if done early and properly. If we force our animals (i.e. call in several neighbors to sit on the dog while we scrub the teeth) we will be unsuccessful. On the other hand slow, progressive training usually results in cooperation. Start for a couple of weeks with allowing your pet to lick a little pet toothpaste (which come in a variety of tasty flavors) from your finger. Don't use human toothpaste; its fluoride can cause toxicity if swallowed daily. After your pet is used to the taste, start wiping a little toothpaste on a tooth or two for a few days, and then progressively more teeth. When a pet is accepting the finger "brushing" you can then advance to a soft finger brush, and rub all outer surfaces of the teeth daily. When a dog is accepting the finger brush then, and only then, can you start using a dog toothbrush or a child's soft toothbrush. Slow, happy training is the key to success. Daily brushing of the teeth reduces plaque formation, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. This saves your pet from pain and disease development and decreases the costs of future dental care.
Anesthesia / Monitoring
Dental procedures such as teeth cleaning, sealants, fillings, and extractions are done exactly the same way for dogs and cats as for humans. The only big difference is that animals must be anesthetized to achieve their needed cooperation. When a dog or cat comes to the hospital a brief exam is done and a sedative is administered. Once sleepy enough, an endotracheal tube is placed in the airway to allow the administration of gas anesthesia and to protect the lungs from aspiration (inhaling of dental tartar and fluid from the dental cleaning — this doesn't happen in awake animals/people who can swallow normally). An intravenous catheter is placed for fluid administration, which helps to support normal blood pressure. Anesthetic monitoring is critically important, every animal is monitored continuously and great care is taken to ensure anesthetic safety and to minimize anesthetic side effects.
Dental Cleanings
A dental cleaning is done for our pets exactly the same way it is done for us. The only exception is that our animal friends must be placed under general anesthesia. No awake dog or cat would let us do a thorough cleaning. First the dental tartar, also known as calculus, is removed from the tooth surface. This is done by a combination of hand scaling and the use of an ultrasonic scaler, used to literally vibrate tartar off of the teeth. Next, plaque and tartar must be removed from beneath the gum tissue. After all the teeth are cleaned the enamel surface is polished and smoothed with a prophy-paste that helps to slow down future plaque build up.
Removing the plaque is really the important part of the cleaning since plaque and tartar contain millions of bacteria. If not removed from under the gum line, bacteria will cause infection of the gums or gingivitis that can progress to periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is a painful condition that ultimately leads to tooth loss. Regular, thorough cleanings are a big part of preventing gingivitis and periodontal disease.
Dental Radiographs (X-rays)
Veterinary hospitals providing advanced dental care now have dental x-ray machines. If a problem is discovered on a post-cleaning examination of the mouth, dental x-rays are necessary to help diagnose signs of tooth and bone disease and determine the necessary treatment.
Tooth Repair
The most common form of tooth repair in human dentistry is filling cavities. Carious decay, producing cavities, is uncommon in dogs and almost nonexistent in cats. When found in dogs, cavities are treated with fillings just as for people. The filling material is most commonly a composite resin, but occasionally amalgam is used.
Odontoclastic resorptive lesions in cat teeth look like cavities. Despite extensive research the cause for these deep painful holes remains unknown. The only effective treatment is extraction. Unfortunately this is a common concern in cats and rarely is only one tooth affected.
Fractured teeth in dogs are a relatively common problem. The most common cause of broken teeth is chewing on something too hard. Rocks and real bones are simply too hard for dog's teeth. Fractured teeth may be treated by restoration, bonded sealants, or by endodontic therapy, depending on the type of injury. If part of a tooth breaks off it might be able to be rebuilt, or restored, back to its normal shape and appearance. Restorations are done using a composite resin, which is supplied in a soft, moldable form. After rebuilding a tooth the composite bonds to the tooth and becomes nearly as hard as a normal tooth by exposure to an ultrabright light, called a curing light. Small fractures of the tooth enamel that expose the tooth structure beneath the enamel (called dentin) require either restoration or bonded dental sealant application. Dental sealants help protect the dentin from bacterial invasion.
A tooth that is damaged beyond repair, or has inadequate bone support because of periodontal disease, should be extracted. It is better to have no tooth (or teeth) than to have a chronically painful tooth (or teeth). Depending on the tooth involved and its overall health, it may be extracted by elevation or surgical extraction. Elevation is where a small single rooted or very loose tooth is progressively loosened by a dental instrument and removed. Surgical extraction is involved when tooth roots are large, numerous, or long; the extraction of human wisdom teeth, for example, is usually a surgical procedure.
Pain Management
Dental cleanings are very easy and painless, however, procedures for treating periodontal disease can be unpleasant. Pain control for potentially painful procedures, like extractions, is achieved by prevention rather than treatment. Nerve blocks (local anesthetic injections) are routinely employed to prevent the pain from ever happening. Local anesthetic solutions can be placed in the tooth socket (splash blocks) to minimize discomfort. Injectable medications like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and even morphine are commonly used. If it is anticipated that an animal may have some discomfort at home various analgesic medications can be prescribed.

Can banks do more to help Greece?
It's another messy morning in the turbulent new history of the eurozone.
At 4.42am, the Greek finance minister issued the following intriguing statement:
"Greece's position within the euro area is a historic conquest of the country that cannot be put in doubt. This acquis by the Greek people cannot depend on a referendum.
The country must feel safe and stable and that is the first requirement in order for it to be truly safe and stable. Greek banks are totally secure, as an integral part of the European banking system. This was apparent last night from the discussion in Cannes."
That looks like a warning to Greek people that any savings they have not yet withdrawn from Greek banks (and a lot of money has already been taken out of the Greek banking system) would be put at risk by a vote against the eurozone bailout package: a no vote would be seen as a vote to leave the eurozone, as Angela Merkel has (helpfully?) pointed out, and the Greek government would not be able to guarantee the viability of Greek banks in those momentous circumstances.
Mr Venizelos may be trying to explain to his compatriots why they should think carefully before rejecting the recently agreed combination of financial support from the eurozone and budget-squeeze. But he may also be giving them a reason to withdraw whatever money they have left in local banks, which could turn a fragile banking system into something worse.
All that said, those who think the eurozone could have done more to reduce the crippling burden of debt on Greece may feel that the big French bank BNP Paribas has reinforced that view. Because BNP Paribas has today written down the value of its loans to the Greek government - its holdings of Greek government bonds - by 60%, a full 10 percentage points more than the reduction in repayments by Greece agreed last week by the banks as a collective.
Or to put it another way, BNP Paribas - one of the biggest lenders to Greece and to other highly indebted eurozone countries - appears to have corroborated the view of the German government that banks could afford to take 60% writeoffs.
The point is that BNP Paribas looks in better shape than many investors have feared. And, most germanely, it has generated a profit in spite of incurring a €2.1bn loss from this 60% write down of the value of its holdings of Greek government bonds.
It is the colossal debt weighing on the Greek government that makes it so hard for the Greek economy to recover. So BNP Paribas' admission that it can afford a bigger write-off, only days after the apocalyptic warnings from the banks' negotiating body, the IIF, about the potential harm of asking the banks to do more than 50%, may be incendiary.
Update 09:20: By the way, the Greek finance ministry may have mistranslated one part of Mr Venizelos's statement.
The official statement that "Greece's position within the euro area is a historic conquest of the country" would probably be better rendered as "Greece's position within the euro area is a historic victory by the country".
That said, some disgruntled Greeks would probably agree with the idea that their country has been conquered.
Update 14:50: In response to my post, BNP Paribas tells me that the bank's decision to write down its Greek government loans by 60% is consistent with last week's non-binding agreement by banks to be repaid only half what they're owed.
An BNP official said: "The 60% is basically the 50% agreed last week plus a buffer for technical accounting purposes."
Which is intriguing.
Also BNP's chief executive, Badouin Prot, said today that if the deal to write down bank debts by 50% were to collapse, the banks would then have no incentive to renegotiate a consensual debt reduction and a default would follow.

Well, well, excuse me now, I have to go back to obsolution.

For those that live here, the Portland area provides quite a few very talented sports teams. Soccer fans can watch the Timbers while football fans can argue whether the Ducks or Beavers are the better team. Basketball fans can join the greatest fan base in the NBA and cheer on the Portland Trail Blazers.
Once you have your team, you inevitably make friends to either cheer alongside or to argue with about your favorite teams. Sometimes going to an event with your friends can get complicated. You either cramp uncomfortably into one car, or face the hassle of meeting at the stadium. Then you have to decide who will be the designated driver. Neither of those translate to comfortably to enjoying or arguing about the game. A rising trend to solve this problem and so many more is renting a Portland Party Bus.
Party buses are a great way to comfortably enjoy your ride to and from the event. They provide a comfortable place for those sometimes heated sports discussions, while letting you indulge in a few alcoholic beverages on the bus, if you so desire. Party buses even have reasonable rental prices, especially if split by a group. You can even use the party bus to have a tailgate party if you decide to arrive early to the game. If you want the best in Portland Party Bus Rentals try JMI Limousine.

Deal allows Tesla to sell cars in Ohio - Yahoo Finance
NJ next?
Limited to 3 stores? Not a great deal.
Especially, when you are in the 4th market in Ohio, such as Dayton. Now my service center will remain 80 miles away. I guess it could be worse. Sponsor of bill says they could revisit decision in the future. I guess a compromise is better than nothing.
It doesn't say anything about restricting number of service centers, so even with the mass market Model E, they could just deliver them by building more service centers. 3 is not great but better than nothing at least.
That's a great thought. I guess I'll be happy with the compromise for now.
Ohio Tesla stores are in Cincinnati and Columbus with a new one coming to Cleveland. That's rather wide coverage in the state. I can't imagine restrictions to service centers, since there are many repair shops outside the dealerships of established manufacturers. I suspect that Elon has it figured that when this issue comes up again in a few years, the Tesla business model will be so well established in Ohio that an unlimited number of stores will be allowed.
Slowly but surely, Tesla wins the war.
I don't think Tesla planned more than 3 stores within the next 5-10 years.
I don't think Tesla planned stores in Dayton, Akron, Toledo or Youngstown.
No limit on service centers.
So this does not really change anything.
Plus, a store in southern Michigan can easily cover the Toledo region. We have our toehold now, we can always work to make it better in the future. Us pro gun people went through a similar thing in ohio trying to get concealed carry to be legalized. We started with aan overly restrictive CCW law, just to get something on the books, and then, over the years, have worked to make it better. Ohio now has one of the best CCW laws in the country. It just takes time and effort, they key is not to ask for so much as first that the other side is unwilling to work with you at all. This deal gives Tesla a foothold, and in 5 years, when they are ready for more than 3 stores in Ohio, we will lots of data points of happy customers to make our point with, and adding more dealers will be a smaller challenge than it is now. I view this compromise as a major win for Tesla.
I wouldn't hold my breath on a MI store coming any time soon. About a year and a quarter ago, I talked with a Tesla rep who was originally from MI, and he seemed to indicate that MI was the last state Tesla would try to enter due to how restrictive the dealership laws were. That said, he had also indicated that TX would be the second-to-last state for the same reason, and then Tesla opened galleries a couple of months later, so consider the source.
Interesting development. I do think that this is a tactic on the dealers' part to try to forestal a wholesale destruction of their cozy legal umbrella. They may have realized that the more this gains traction in the media and public opinion, the more they are vulnerable to losing the whole enchilada.

Home Treatment For Drug Abuse and Addiction – Welcome
"New site…new solution to a global problem"
Home treatment for drug abuse and addiction promises to be a maverick yet highly informative online meeting place for anyone interested in straight forward, fresh ideas about how to recover from any instance of street drug addiction or prescription drug abuse or misuse.
The focus is on understanding drug abuse, learning what can be done about it and being open to embracing an unorthodox but effective technique to overcome drug addiction and regain control of your life.
What I have to share is based upon years of personal abuse of street and prescription drugs, observation of clients in-clinic and monitoring important drug-related issues in print, online and in radio and television media. My firm belief is that a personalized, natural drug recovery protocol pursued in the privacy of your home is the best solution to the global fight against drug abuse.
A drug abuse rehab program may not provide the answers you are looking for
I know from my tainted teens and early adult years a regimented environment where someone other than me was responsible for leading the charge of my drug abuse recovery effort was unrealistic, self-demeaning and bound to fail. Until a drug abuser understands the hidden psychological and emotional driving forces behind his or her habit there will be no happy ending to the recovery effort.
Might I add the drug addict or drug abuser must first settle these matters within his or her mind and heart before attempting to engage the external assistance of an impersonal drug abuse recovery program or any other drug counseling party. The problem with habitual drug abuse began in the abuser's mind and, frankly, it must end there.
Drug interventionists should avoid taking over control of the recovery effort
Drug interventionists, often brought into the picture by concerned loved ones, can be helpful, but only when they are cheering the addict on from the sidelines instead of pinch hitting for the abuser. This is one game that must be won in the abuser's mind without being constantly scolded, demeaned or disrespected by well-meaning family members, friends or drug counselors.
Well, stay tuned and drop in often to see what we're doing here at drugaddictioncentral.com.
I encourage you to leave a comment about anything relevant to what we're dealing with here – particularly anything that has to do with home treatment for drug abuse. If appropriate and in good taste, it will be posted for up to 30 days.
Be healthy, happy and drug-free or in control of your prescription drug use.

Liquid highlighters / illuminzers have become a recent obsession of mine and now I kind of want at least one from every brand. I've also been getting some illuminating bases as well to give myself even more glow.
I pretty much want to look like a Twilight vampire but not as emo.
Swatched L to R -
Becca Cosmetics Backlight Priming Filter
Benefit Cosmetics High Beam
Becca Cosmetics Liquid Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal
MAC Cosmetics Strobe Cream
Burberry Fresh Glow Luminous Base
Etude House Dreaming Swan Shine Volumer in Twinkling Tutu
Benefit Cosmetics Girl Meets Pearl (review here)
Life's Entropy Galaxy Glow Illuminator in Solar Flare (review here)
For illuminating bases, my favorite out of the ones I have is probably the Becca Cosmetics Backlight Priming Filter. It gives me just enough glow and helps prolong my foundation. I felt like the Burberry one did nothing to my face and I didn't have strong feelings about the MAC Strobe Cream. I did like that it gave my dry face some more moisture though.
For liquid highlighters, all of them are my favorite! I can't choose since they're all great, but just have different undertones.
The Life's Entropy Galaxy Glow Illuminator is the most pigmented and so I'm scared to use that one when I'm in a rush, but it's gorgeous. It also works well as a liquid highlighting blush if I layer it on.
I also like to mix the Becca Cosmetics Liquid Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal in foundations since the undertone matches my actual skin undertone more.
For more subtle highlighting but still with some color, I love the Benefit Cosmetics Girl Meets Pearl. I really can't get enough of this product since it's so easy to throw on to add a little something to my look.
The Etude House Dreaming Swan Shine Volumer in Twinkling Tutu is actually limited edition, but it's still available for a little bit longer! It's more on the glitter side and so I only use this on my eyes. It works great as a base for matte shadows and in the inner corner or lower lashline to draw more attention to the eyes.
Let me know what your favorite illuminators / liquid highlighters are! I want to try one of the NARS ones next, but there's also some MAC ones I might get first.

A lifelong member of St. James Lutheran Church in Howard Lake, Donald was baptized Jan. 8, 1928, by the Rev. C.G. Seltz; and confirmed in his faith April 6, 1941, by the Rev. E.N. Seltz.
Donald was married to Carolyn Shepperd Jan. 27, 1962, at St. James Lutheran Church by the Rev. G.C. Michael. Their marriage was blessed with three children.
They made their home and livelihood on the Dangers family farm, south of Howard Lake in Victor Township, milking dairy cows and farming the land until retiring.
Farm organizations were important to Bud, having served as an FFA leader, 4-H leader, president of the Farm Bureau, and as a member of the Mid-AM Creamery board.
He was also an active member of St. James Lutheran Church, serving on the Board of Elementary Education, and as an elder.
Donald was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Emma Dangers; two infant sisters; and four brothers, Leo Dangers, Fritz Dangers, Leonard Dangers, and Vernon Dangers.
He is survived by his wife, Carolyn Dangers; two daughters, Christine (Jim) Yukel and Cathy (Cory) Jones; a son, Michael (Sara) Dangers; grandchildren Samantha Cuhel (fiancé Jared Pierce), Jonathan Yukel, Andrew Jones (fiancée Sarah Sanderson), Jack Jones, Emma Dangers, Jacob Dangers, Cole Dangers and Libby Dangers; one great-grandchild, Gabriel Pierce; a sister, Marion Hewitt; sister-in-law Evelyn Dangers; nieces; nephews; and many other relatives and friends.
A celebration of his life service took place Wednesday, Aug. 7 at 11 a.m. at St. James Lutheran Church in Howard Lake with the Rev. Michael Nirva officiating. Andrew Jones led the congregation in responsively reading the Twenty-third Psalm. Nancy Butterfass served as organist with special music by Emma Dangers playing the harp. Interment was at the St. James Cemetery on Dutch Lake.
Pallbearers were Dennis Klammer, Brett Schlief, John Hewitt, Joel Hewitt, Craig Brose, and Keith Brose.
Arrangements were with the Swanson-Peterson Funeral Home of Howard Lake.

Remembering Landmark 80s Dance Programme The New Dance Show
Two decades after it went off the air, YouTube clips and artists like Black Milk are celebrating the legacy of Detroit's once-influential TV show and its impact on dance music and the city that gave the world techno.
"Detroit's New Dance Show," a new track from hip-hop MC and producer Black Milk, dusts off one of the lesser known institutions at the foundation of Detroit's electronic music canon: The New Dance Show, a legendary local TV program that ran from the late 80s into the early 90s in Detroit, and pays tribute to the show's infamously dope soundtrack with synth-heavy, four-on-the-floor beats.
The New Dance Show, aired from 1988-1995 on Detroit's WGPR-TV 62, the first black-owned and operated television station in the country. The show featured local kids in the flyest clothes and hairstyles of the time breaking it down to a mix of Detroit techno, ghettotech, Chicago house and music from overseas artists like Kraftwerk and A Guy Called Gerald. It brought emerging underground music into the living rooms of households all over lower Michigan. The new sound of Detroit was introduced to a massive city-wide and suburban audience outside of the clubs and late night warehouse parties as now-classics like "Clear" by Cybotron, "Big Fun" by Inner City and "NO UFOS" by Model 500 were spun by the show's resident DJs as dancers like The Count, LaWanda and Miss Energy showed off their impressive skills. The highlight of each episode were the dance lines, where everyone got the chance to flaunt their signature moves and unique personas:
"We were the people who would introduce certain artists - along with The Electrifying Mojo and some other radio jocks - and we could make it happen for them," explains RJ Watkins, The New Dance Show's creator, producer and host. "If The Dance Show got on it- we could introduce it to the world. We helped a lot of groups go national just by playing their tracks on our show."
Often lazily described as Detroit's version of Soul Train, The New Dance Show was unique not just in its music selection but because of Watkins' talent for editing. His background in dance studies and ear for music allowed him to cut shots to match the beats, giving the show a live energy and flow unlike any other, including its equally legendary predecessor, The Scene.
Watkins, who now dedicates his energy to his current role as President and CEO of Detroit's TV33 WHPR and 88.1 FM, began his career in television by hosting and producing his own show, Late Night With RJ Watkins. He cites Johnny Carson as an early inspiration and remains passionate about the power that television has to bring people together. Not for nothing, everyone in Detroit knew and loved his catchphrase from the show: "Keep it movin', keep it groovin'."
"If we still had a show like that on, we could curb some of the grave stuff that's happening in Detroit right now," he says. "We gave people a reason to be home for an hour, we locked the city down. Sit down, shut up, laugh—whether you love hate it, like it, you're gonna be home at 6 o'clock and you're gonna watch. It gave everyone something to talk about. We had characters, like in any family, that everyone knew and loved. You had your neighborhood sister down the street, you had your neighbourhood gay guy, your neighbourhood dyke, your neighbourhood fat girl, small girl, your neighbourhood hustler, your neighbourhood pimp. We had all walks of life on that show."
In a culturally divisive time, The New Dance Show acted like the Pied Piper, luring suburban kids into the city and city kids out into the clubs, ultimately helping to nurture an underground dance music scene where gender, ethnicity, socioeconomics, race and sexual orientation were, inexplicably, practically a non-issue.
Now, almost two decades after the show went off the air, Black Milk's "Detroit's New Dance Show" is reconnecting his audience to that legacy. It may be a stylistic departure for the artist whose hometown roots usually come through in the soulful, Motown sounds that he's prone to sampling, but it's not a total left field move. Black has already established himself as a creative force in the hip-hop industry, known for his ever-broadening repertoire of diverse production styles and collaborators like J. Dilla, Jack White and Black Thought of The Roots. According to Black, it was really only a matter of time before he dipped his toe into the techno pool,
"Cats like Juan Atkins brought this sound to Detroit and the world in the early to mid 80s," he explains. "Hip-hop was still pretty new then, too. It was just a natural progression for people that were into hip-hop to also be into electronic music, if you lived in Detroit. Musically, it's different but the vibe and the feel and the artists that were making techno had a certain ghetto-ness and attitude that meshed well with hip-hop. The attitude and approach wasn't that different."
He concedes that isn't necessarily going to cater to his typical fanbase, but that wasn't the point. "It's a Detroit thing, man," he says. "When I released that song, I expected only a select few people to get it. I didn't expect it to appeal to everyone."
Black Milk isn't the first artist to tip his hat to The New Dance Show. In 2009, techno producer Osborne used clips from the show for the video accompanying his track "The Count" and producer/singer Mayer Hawthorne did the same with 2011's "A Long Time". In discussing early influences, you'd be hard pressed to find a Detroit-bred techno DJ or producer who doesn't make mention of the show.
"They know—Juan Atkins and the other techno artists—how important The New Dance Show was because they would give us a track and we would put that in the mix and the kids would go crazy," Watkins recalls. "Even though we don't get the credit for it, the people inside the industry know the secret; they down for us."
Thanks to YouTube, The New Dance Show maintains a cult following to this day. Reruns are still broadcast in the Detroit area on Watkins' station, but fans outside of the D looking for more than online clips may be out of luck, at least for the time being. Watkins isn't chomping at the bit to release his masters,
"We don't know how to control that entity yet because once you put it on DVD, it's just gone. Anyone can duplicate it," he admits. "I haven't authorised any of the YouTube stuff but I don't mind because they're keeping the show alive and I appreciate it."
Any discussion about The New Dance Show would be grossly incomplete without pouring a sip out for the equally infamous commercials that aired during the show for Watts Club Mozambique, an all-male strip club:
Black Milk's LP, If There's A Hell Below is slated to drop on October 28. He is also at work on a techno-inspired project, due later this year on Warp Records.

The works i exhibited at World Bar last week, as part of the Feast Your Eyes show.
The opening was lots of fun - the guys cooked up a tonne of couscous and burgers and i think my brother ate most of them! haha.
Just makes me think how grand it would be to illustrate a cookbook one day.
4 comments:
yum! they all look delicious..!ReplyDelete
Banana and bacon?! aha, regardless of the weird combination, I love this. And you should definitely illustrate a cookbook if you can, imagine how many things your brother's get to sample.xxxReplyDelete
In first photo I like how red colour gives such a strong contrast.ReplyDelete
In second photo I like the way how tiny pieces of watermelons are fallen (like rain drops does).
Third photo - I just like it all.
About last photo? I like that banana and banana slices look so real and delicious.
If you want and if you have time, then take a look of my illustartions and art works- http://lorettalorena.blogspot.com/

artwork from my new collection creative artistery.
I felt I wanted to go on in my artistical expressions. My needs to express myself in art and words ,its very important to me. I started young with real oilpainting at my grandfathers studio. For the moment I use more acrylic paint than oils. Working a lot with peace,calm,happy themes in my art And a new era for me. I often use my paintings and drawings toghether with real flowers,leafes , as mixed media collage,doing my style of popart/fantasyart. And I work with diffrent materials,I feel for. Like the feeling of rough texture,smooth leafes. And the flowers diffrent stucture,shapes and petals. Pepita selles art and movies http://youtu.be/dLhrEPrf72s

Okay, it may sound like a biiig mechanism but basically it is how an alphabet is printed on the rolled sheet when the key of the very same alphabet is pressed on the qwerty keyboard. We did this in a group of three.

We present preliminary results from our HST/WFPC2 imaging survey of luminous red AGNs discovered within the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). These objects represent a large population of previously unidentified AGNs in the local universe. They are hosted by a wide variety of morphological types, from classical spiral and elliptical galaxies to disturbed objects reminiscent of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies. A few show probable companion galaxies. We consider the relationship between host galaxy morphology and properties of the AGN including optical spectral type and polarization. We also compare the 2MASS host galaxies to those of optically-selected AGNs within a similar redshift range.
Support for this work was provided by NASA through grant number GO-09057.01 from the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy Incorporated, under NASA contract NAS5-26555. 2MASS is a joint project of the University of Massachusetts and the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center/California Institute of Technology, funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Science Foundation.

From the cold reaches of Spitsbergen to the tropical warmth of Kuala Lumpur, Dr. Dickerson has traveled the globe to understand how air chemistry affects us all.
What is the area of your research?
Our group studies air quality and the atmospheric chemistry of this planet. We do research on local scale for the Maryland Dept of Environment and on a global scale supported generally by NOAA, NSF, and NASA. We're part of the AURA science team, learning how to use satellites to measure trace gases in the atmosphere. I've been spending most of my time lately writing a new proposal to build an instrument that would be in geostationary orbit that would measure the important climate forcing gases: CO, CO2, and methane. It'd be nice if we get it, but the odds are about the same as winning the lottery!
How did you get into air chemistry, growing up I imagine it's not something people normally see on a regular basis?
I always liked science. I was studying chemistry as an undergraduate, and heard a seminar by Hal Johnston where he was talking about the chemistry of the atmosphere, and I thought that was pretty exciting so I thought, well maybe this environmental chemistry stuff could be really fun. And then when I went to graduate school at Michigan my adviser (Don Stedman) had an interesting project to work on that involved the chemistry of the atmosphere. I could have just as easily done the chemistry of the oceans, or fresh water. It was an exciting time, though, because the crew of atmospheric chemists there included some of the best people in the world; Ralph Cicerone was on my committee and he's now the president of the National Academy of Sciences.
I finished up PhD work at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, which is a nice place to live. Tony Delany taught me how to build instruments that would fly on airplanes and NCAR had an Electra that we used to do island hopping all the way to Kuala Lumpur. It would take us a week to get to Malaysia in that old airplane!
Where else have you worked?
I did a short postdoc at NCAR, then followed the boss over to Europe to do a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute in Mainz and continued doing work with the measurement of reactive nitrogen from the ground and from airplanes. The experience of living in Europe for a few years is something I'd recommend for every new PhD. Once we went to the Pic du Midi in the Pyrenees in France to make measurements; they feed you very well there! Interesting priorities. There were no shower facilities, but they had 25 french scientists and 4 french chefs. I was there a week and I think I put on 10 kg! After that I came here. I've looked at other places but it's been a privilege to work with excellent faculty and graduate students and I'm very fond of Maryland and it's been good to me.
What do you think you could have done with your life if had turned out you didn't like chemistry?
I like all sorts of science. I tried to study geology for a while, which is fun because geologists like to go out into the field. If I had to spend the rest of my life staring at a computer screen I think I'd go crazy. I think physics was the science of the 20th century, and computer science is of course the powerful new tool now and the combination has been enormously useful. The the 21st century will probably be the century of the life sciences. So I guess if I could hit the rewind button I would have learned more biology as I think that's where the field is going. Of course, the biology you learn 30 years ago has no resemblance to the biology of today.
What was it like testifying before congress?
The EPA is required every five years to re-evaluate the national ambient air quality standards to make sure they are protective of human health. In the last integrated science assessment they concluded that the current standard for ozone should be strengthened. This annoyed a certain number of senators, and they demanded a hearing about whether it was possible to achieve ozone standards between 60 and 70 ppb. So I got to testify before congress and talk about that issue. I got called boring by a republican senator from Texas, though I've been called boring by better men than him, so I didn't take it too seriously. It was an interesting experience, maybe some good will come of it: it's absolutely true that the current standards are not strict enough to protect human health.
Personal Life
How many kids do you have?
Two, a boy and a girl. My daughter, Sarah, is off doing an internship in Johannesburg trying to save the world through international development, then wants to come back and do grad school somewhere. My son, Nathan, is in college in Minnesota at St. Olaf, studying to be a Norwegian I think (actually he's pre-med).
What do you like to do in your free time when you're not on these fantastic voyages across the world?
If it's a good year I'll enter road races, in the geezer category: 5 and 10 k races and a little bike riding. I do some woodworking – building furniture, I think my wife wants a new shoe rack. I like travel and I still have some friends in Germany that we like to go visit. I think that now that my kids are gone I could actually do hobbies a little bit! As Ross pointed out in my impromptu birthday celebration, I'm also an assistant scoutmaster.
Back in the day, I used to do some long bike touring where you take your bike for several days and go camping, as well as rock climbing. In college I wrestled and did Judo for a while. With my weight class I completed at 140 lbs, and i'm pretty sure I'll never see 140 lbs again! I did football in high school. The university of Chicago's football team was so bad, they found out I did football in high school and they kept trying to talk me into playing safety.
What kind of music do you like?
Well, I went to college on the southside of Chicago, and there was a lot of really good blues at the time, so I learned to really enjoy funky, electrified, Chicago blues. It's one of my favorites. I also like folk and classical music. I have no musical talent, I can't play anything other than the radio, but my wife and kids have some skills there.
What was your first concert?
If I could set the clock back and relive my life: in 1969 when I was 15 or 16, I would have run away from home for a week and gone to Woodstock. I would have stolen my father's camera and hitchhiked to Woodstock, but I was much too timid at 15 to try any such thing. It would have gotten me into serious trouble… but it would have been worth it.
Where's the craziest place you've been?
Perhaps Spitsbergen. You get there by going to the northernmost tip of Norway and then going another thousand miles north. Before we went, I looked it up and Spitsbergen had two indigenous species trees, a dwarf birch and pygmy pine, the larger of the two reaches a maximum height of 2.5 inches. You couldn't leave the village without a gun or else you'd get eaten by polar bears. It wasn't at the time a tourist attraction, so getting meals was difficult. We would get breakfast with the flight crew, but there was no way to eat lunch since there were no open restaurants or grocery stores. We had to tell the flight crew ahead of time to bring back dinner, and we would get a lot of caribou, reindeer, herring, potatoes, which tasted just fine when you didn't have lunch.
What atmospheric chemical do you think most resembles your personality?
alpha-pinene. It smells nice and probably doesn't kill anyone. The blue haze of the Blue Ridge mountains, before coal, used to be due to alpha-pinene.

Top Tips on weather, equipment hire and coming prepared more
China's Shanshan Feng retained her Buick Championship title with a playoff victory over South Korean Na Yeon Choi after an exciting final round duel at Shanghai Qizhong Garden Golf Club.
Sharing the lead for the last three rounds, both Choi and Feng carded 67s in testing conditions for a matching 72-hole total of 14-under-par.
Choi led for most of the round until she bogeyed the 18th in regulation play and then again in the play-off.
"I didn't expect it!" said Feng, who made a birdie putt of around 10 feet at the first extra hole.
"Today, from the beginning, Na Yeon was ahead and I was behind, but I never gave up. When we had two holes left I thought, 'I'm just going to try my best and see what happens,' and I think I had luck on my side. I'm really happy to finish with a birdie on the last hole and I'm really proud that I was able to defend my title."
It meant that Feng, the 2015 LET Order of Merit winner, collected her fourth Chinese title, worth 72,966.71 Euro, which was her sixth LET title and 15th victory as a professional.

Maplebrook Elementary will closed until May 18 as a child has been diagnosed with a probable case of H1N1. Thankfully, the child is recovering and doing well. As is customary, the Center for Disease Control has directed that the probable case be treated as if it is a confirmed diagnosis. At the CDC's direction, the school will close for 14 calendar days. Teachers will be asked to report back to work on May 11 th.
This is what is on the Humble Website. I got a call from a teacher friend at the school, and an email from my support group. A sibling of a student does in fact have the swine flu. All the siblings have symptoms, but do not have their results back.
I'm a bit numb from this as it all seemed so surreal hearing about it, now I'm so close to it. I don't know who the student is, but I'm sure he/she has been in my class.
Please pray for us, I'm very scared.

DCU, Americans, Tyler, Santana
*Ben Olsen, Jaime Moreno, Clyde Simms and Marc Burch did not travel with D.C. United for Tuesday night's Champions League match at Toluca. Presumably, they are being rested ahead of the MLS finale Saturday at Kansas City. (None appears on the injury list.) Andrew Jacobson (hamstring) also stayed home. So who plays in defensive midfield?
The DCU roster:
Goalkeepers: Steve Cronin, Milos Kocic.
Defenders: Dejan Jakovic, Julius James, Avery John, Lawson Vaughn, David Habarugira.
Midfielders: Christian Gomez, Rodney Wallace, Fred, Devon McTavish, Devon McTavish, Tiyi Shipalane, Danny Szetela, John DiRaimondo.
Forwards: Luciano Emilio, Thabiso Khumalo, Chris Pontius.
Got a question for Olsen? Just ask him.
*Read Brian Straus's Q&A with USA and Columbus midfielder Robbie Rogers.
*Americans abroad:
MF Clint Dempsey 90 in Fulham's 2-0 victory over Hull City
F Jozy Altidore 21 for Hull City
F Eddie Johnson not in 18 for Fulham
F Mike Grella in 18, didn't play in Leeds' 2-1 win over Norwich
MF Benny Feilhaber 90 in Aarhus's 1-0 loss at Sonderjylland
MF Jeremiah White in 18, didn't play for Aarhus
*Legendary British announcer Martin Tyler will handle play by play for ESPN's coverage of the World Cup in the States.
*Less than eight months until the World Cup, and South Africa needs a coach. Brazilian Joel Santana was fired today.

Something like this wouldn't surprise me, though it wouldn't necessarily be my first choice:
Cronin; Vaughn, James, Jakovic, John; Pontius, McTavish, Wallace, Fred; Gomez; Emilio
Then again, seeing the South Africans on the roster, Tommy might be clever enough to use their speed and put both Shipilane and Khumalo in...

Thanks, ESPN, for giving me no reason to fly 18 hrs to see the World Cup when I can listen to Martin Tyler and watch the games in HD.
Would getting Andy Grey also be asking too much?
Posted by: IamAM | October 19, 2009 5:32 PM | Report abuse
My pick would be Szetela. For as bad as some people said we played against Columbus I actually like the look of our midfield. For once we had players in there that could match our opponents physical play. DC actually looked fast and covered some ground.
I think Szetela will have a good game tomorrow. Unfortunately, I can't see us getting a result away in Mexico, which is a shame because I would like us to go through.

Yeah. That ref will be working a lower division match this weekend. One of the few times I've watched PTI and Wilbon says that the match should be replayed from the moment before the goal. Don't work that way Mike.

@DCwhoDat, I believe Julius James is actually not cup tied as he was transferred to United before Houston entered directly into the group stage. His services weren't available in the Open Cup final because of his action for Houston in that tournament. That was the funny little hiccup last month ey?
I'm also surprised someone didn't jump down my throat for not checking the DCU site for the television coverage tomorrow night.
FSC and Telefutura will be showing the match... Which means my cheapskate arse(enjoy your FSC Kev29!) will probably be watching for free at home.
Sorry to ask such a stupid question.
It should be $2 pint night at Bailey's though if anyone is interested....

I'd like to see Szetela try the d-mid spot, but it might go to Wallace. He's had spot duty there before.

Hull City had 7 shots, but none on goal. Hard to score if you depend on own goals.

I could see Soehn going that way too, but maybe sending them out as a 4231 (attacking trio of Pontius-Gomez-Fred).
It's a tough lineup to choose due to the altitude. Obviously we're going to be defending a lot, which means we need to have active forwards who can press and disrupt Toluca's buildups. That would mean withholding Emilio until the later stages.
On the other hand, from watching US-based teams in Mexico, I'm thinking we'll have 55 minutes of being able to play before everyone runs out of gas. We have to take a lead into those late stages (I highly doubt our ability to shut Toluca out once our lungs go, but holding them to just one goal is not out of the realm of possibility). Like him or lump him, Emilio is our most likely scorer, and you have to figure we won't get many chances.
James didn't appear for Houston in this year's tournament. They didn't have to play in the qualifying round, and he came to us in time to play in our opening group game.
Back to the DC lineup, there are some things I'm pretty sure of. Khumalo showed against Columbus that he's not much of a defender beyond doing the running involved. Mentally, it's just not part of his game. Thus, I'd avoid starting him on the wing at Toluca, who will ruthlessly seek out players who are unsure of their defensive positioning. I would say we should start him (since his high energy style will probably be disruptive to their defenders), but if you start him there's no room for Gomez. Gomez is a big-game player, and has always had a knack for scoring our big goals internationally (Catolica, Firpo, etc). We will almost certainly have to make our set piece play count, so you've got to find a place for him.
At this point, I lean towards a team with Pontius and Wallace on the flanks and Gomez underneath Emilio. We need players who are at least competent defensively on the wings, and it helps that both Pontius and Wallace can pinch into the middle. We'll need to keep this game narrow, so that's a help. What I have in my head right now would look like this:
-------------------- Emilio
------------------- Gomez
Wallace - Szetela - McTavish - Pontius
John ---- James ---- Jakovic ---- Vaughn
------------------- Cronin
All tactical stuff aside, our odds are pretty long. They're at home, at altitude, their players are fitter than ours (if the first leg is any indication, their players may have double the lung capacity), and they're better technically. Other than size, we're at a disadvantage in every category. Realistically, I'd say we have around a 10% chance of getting the needed result. If you told me that we'd lose but our important starters will be healthy and aren't suffering from low morale due to being thrashed, I'd take it.

Hull City had 7 shots, but none on goal. Hard to score if you depend on own goals.

Szetela definitely should take Jacobson's spot. And I would start the first McTavish but keep the second one on the bench as a possible sub.
Just as long as the sub isn't before the half, which will make McTavish angry and not play at his best.

Not a bad lineup, Chest.
Here's what I expect, though:
------------- Emilio --- Pontius
Wallace -- Szetela -- McTavish -- Fred
John ------ James -------- Jakovic
------------------- Cronin

Good reminder. I have wielded the axe after last week's poor showing. Vamos Handsome Boys!
I really hope you're wrong there, but at this point Soehn is becoming hard to predict. Hopefully the switch for Columbus (abandoned at halftime) was just a relapse.
You could be dead on, though, which would be asking for trouble. A 3412 would be extremely draining to our wide players, and Toluca played a textbook example of how to break that formation in the game at RFK. It's also something they face regularly in Mexico (one of the only leagues where more than one oddball team relies on it). I don't expect a different formation to have substantially better odds, but by playing 4 in the back and clogging midfield we give ourselves a chance to slow things down, turn it scrappy, and maybe we pull this off. At the very least, keeping a slower pace will mean less tired players for Saturday in KC.

Goff you have McTavish listed twice. Did they clone him? Also I do believe that James is ineligible b/c he played with Houston.
Posted by: no_recess | October 20, 2009 8:09 AM | Report abuse
I agree with TheAMT's lineup 100%.
I don't see Szetela cracking the starting lineup for Soehn in this one. Therefore we're more likely to see Wallace at CDM than on the wing. I like Chest's idea of Gomez to step up and deliver in this big match, as he's done in the past, but also look for the return of the Emilio/Fred Brazilian flare!

Jozy looked OK in his cameo appearance - and nearly created a goal for himself. He needs to play and Brown needs to go - that team is completely useless at the moment.

I'm not a big fan of ESPN hiring foreign commentators to cover the World Cup. There are enough decent Americans available (No, not you, Max Bretos).
Not trying to be anti-immigrant but American commentators from ESPN know more than enough about the global game to cover a World Cup effectively. ESPN's soccer coverage is again going a bit too far in its adoration of the English game.
Posted by: Joel_M_Lane | October 20, 2009 10:28 AM | Report abuse
I disagree, Joel. Martin Tyler is just better - his training and experience prepare him to call a soccer match properly. I don't go crazy, like some soccer fans, at American announcers (who are almost entirely trained in other sports) when they enthusiastically volunteer for soccer assignments. But Tyler is one of the best in the world (regardless of his nationality). There will be plenty of slots for American broadcasters and I have no problem with JP Dellacamra keeping the US matches - then have Tyler do some of the huge non-US games (if that's what ESPN decides).
And ESPN is not going over the top to adore English soccer, they've responded to what soccer fans in this country have asked them. This is a business decision - just like buying rights to the Premier League and picking Manchester United all the time when they had the Champs League. They see a market and they are serving it.

we won't probably won't reach agreement but I feel ESPN's soccer coverage is far too Anglophilic. Don't want the World Cup to look like ESPN's Champions League coverage where the English teams hog the limelight.
England will have a good team in South Africa and the EPL is an excellent league but the coverage shouldn't be just about how much business they can drum up for Man U's (or any other EPL team) future broadcasts.

I watched Fulham-Hull yesterday. What a wretched affair. Even the commentators gave up following the game - midway through the second half they were talking about players in the stands, other managers present at the Cottage, older Fulham players, anything but having to deal with what was in front of them.
Those two teams have the payroll of the entire MLS but the display in the field wasn't worth USL2 wages. How awful. Jozy saw the ball exactly twice and managed to generate the only threat to the hosts' goal. Simply terrible.
Posted by: ASFiorentina | October 20, 2009 10:59 AM | Report abuse
I hear you, Joel. But it's not about promoting or creating business, it's reacting to business that's already there. I think we've seen a trend in the last decade where soccer fans (and even some traditional or "big event" fans) want the game to be presented in its traditional form. A lot of time that's represented by the English. I think in time, with soccer gaining mainstream audiences in America, we'll have commentators that can manage to call the sport in a style that fans want. To me, sports fans crave authenticity, however that's perceived.
I think Tyler actually sums up this idea nicely himself...
"I think I've been acquired for what I am and not what I might become," Tyler said. "The thing that I'd liken it to is what we have in reverse over here. We wouldn't put U.K.-based commentary on the NBA or NFL. The description of an American sport comes from American voices and I think maybe those who have made the decision about me would like to get, if you like, a more global feel to what is a global game. Of course the words are only incidental to the pictures in television. But you can help by pushing the odd phrase in the right direction."

I recall there not being a lot of high expectations in preseason DCUMD. Nice starts from Pontius and Wallace along with Benny Olsen coming back and showing some leadership seemed to have people thinking a little differently in the first 3 months of the season. Things really didn't start getting bad until August.
I was kidding around anyway, I don't know what you'd call this year. At least we won the Open Cup last year, and we didn't even have to suffer through the embarrassment of a ridiculously, egotistical marketing campaign.

How Much is ADT Pulse?
In 2010, ADT announced the launch of their new interactive smart home solution for homeowners looking for more than a traditional home security system could provide. In addition to delivering anytime, anywhere access to their system through web or app, ADT Pulse® allows homeowners to receive email and text alerts as well as stream video or view clips from their video cameras. In addition, the system provides home automation capabilities, including light and small appliance control as well as thermostat controls. Many consumers interested in this advanced system ask one simple question: How much does ADT Pulse cost? In this post, our experts look to answer that question.
How much is ADT Pulse Premier Package?
The highest tier equipment package available from ADT, the cost of the Premier package reflects that with a starting point of $999 for equipment, installation and activation. The equipment package is fairly robust and includes the following components:
- Safewatch Pro 3000 Control Panel
- ADT Pulse Gateway (iHub)
- GE touch-screen
- Door/Window sensors (3)
- Wireless video cameras (2)
- Smoke detector (1)
- Smart Thermostat (1)
- In-Wall Lighting Control (1)
- Plug-In Appliance Module (1)
Upgrades and additional equipment are available for additional fees.
Keep in mind that this price is for the highest tier equipment package offered by ADT. There are several other systems configurations offered by ADT that are significantly less costly and still provide most – if not all – of the features and functionality most homeowners need. In addition, ADT does offer several different promotions that even further lower the cost.
At the time of this writing, ADT offers new customers free installation of ADT Pulse Video with an included wireless security camera or ADT Pulse with a free Nest Learning Thermostat included. If you are interested in ADT for your home security and automation, we recommend you contact them to see what promotions are available to help reduce the cost of their most advanced system.
What is the upfront cost for ADT Pulse?
So what will you actually have to pay upfront to get this system installed in your home? That depends on what you want your security system to be able to do, what equipment package you select and if you add-on additional components. Since there's no charge for their standard equipment packages, you'll be responsible for paying for the "installation fee" which usually starts at $199. (That's assuming ADT isn't running any qualifying promotions.)
In addition to the installation fee, you'll pay the first month of your monitoring service.
How much does ADT Pulse cost to install?
Standard installation starts at $199 but as we mentioned above, there may be promotions running that reduce the standard installation fee to $99 or waive it entirely. It's worth checking out their latest offer to see what you can save. The cost may be significantly higher for the Premier package (we were quoted $299) or if you decide to upgrade or add-on additional equipment.
ADT Pulse monthly cost
The ADT pulse monthly cost will depend on the equipment package you select. ADT's rates for monitoring for ADT Pulse starts at $52.99/month, which is for their basic service level. Of course, even their basic service has an abundance of features worth noting: wireless security monitoring, CellGuard® and mobile access and text/email alerts. (Plus, your system is capable of providing monitoring and detection for fire & smoke, carbon monoxide, water leaks and extreme temperatures. If you want to include home automation and video monitoring capabilities, the monthly rate increases to $58.99. With the premier service level, your system will also be able to remote lock/unlock doors, control lighting and thermostat controls and provide remote secure video streaming.

Bright Eyes* £17.45 (15ml) - Angela Langford (link)
I'm a bit of a funny un when it comes to trying out new products for the blog - I have to completely finish up using a similiar product before giving my undivided attention to another one. I know the saying goes that good things comes to those who wait and honestly I'm onto a winner with this little tub of Bright Eyes.
I've previously reviewed a facial scrub from the Angela Langford range (here) and I was impressed with that - however this eye cream exceeds all expectations. What I love about the AL range is that all the ingrediants which she puts into her products are 100% natural, there is no artificial ingredients. Basically this product is only going to do good things to your eye area. Another major bonus of the range is that all products can be used on any skin type.
The tub itself is made out of aluminum which I've noticed keeps the cream really cool and makes it more refreshing once applied around the eye area. A word of warning once you open the seal there is an overpowering scent which the only way I can describe it as is "natural" - you will know what I mean once you smell it. However this goes pretty much straightaway and the scent doesn't transfer onto your skin.
I've been using this daily for the last 2 months and I have to say I have seen a slight improvement around my eyes - my skin doesn't seem as dehydrated as normal and I'm rarely suffering from black circles (nights out don't count shhh). Even though some may seem the price is pricey at £17.45 I do believe you get what you pay for and I've got half a tub left as you only really need a pea sized amount, so when you look at it like that its good value for money and if it does the trick you can't put a price on that.

Dub Echoes - A Documentary
A new documentary about dub music is set to be released … sometime soon evidently. Dub Echoes features a ridiculous amount of interviews with the pioneers of Jamaican dub like Lee Perry, Sly & Robbie and others, and also contemporary artists whose work is drawn from the genre, like Adam Freeland and Basement Jaxx.
The trailer has been uploaded to YouTube, and there's a MySpace page if you're into that sort of thing. The film looks very promising indeed. (Although a release date would be nice.)

All About Jazz Review of Gigi's "Gold and Wax"
All About Jazz has written an article on the growing popularity of African-inspired pop music in the northern hemisphere. Of specific interest is Gigi's recent record Gold & Wax, produced by her husband Bill Laswell. They cite Laswell as an influence on the whole scene, and give the record an overall positive review:
There's no way to know where each of Gigi's eighteen named collaborators actually perform. But in some sense that's a totally irrelevant question, since the overall sound is quite consistent and the individual voices comprise a nearly orchestral whole.
They do question whether Gigi is starting to pigeon-hole herself with a somewhat similar discography (they actually use the term "Laswellized"), but I feel the question pales in comparison to the sheer quality of music the couple releases.

Bill Laswell will be appearing on PBS's Soundstage program July 13th. From their website, it appears as though a nice cast of characters will be present: Tabla Beat Science, Pharoah Sanders and Material, Buckethead and Praxis and ending "with an all-star performance, funked up by Bootsy Collins." Check local listings for stations carrying the program.
Despite a petition and fan support, it seems there are no plans to release the broadcast on DVD. This is a shame because PBS are only airing 56 minutes of the 180 minute performance.

Hmm, interesting question. Perhaps for this option the end-tags shouldn't be removed if the start tags are also optional. In this case the start and end tags are jointly optional, but not separately.

The Nasher Museum of Art will sponsor a gallery talk by Will Willimon, professor of Christian ministry at Duke Divinity School, on "Inflamed by Faith: Carlo Dolci and the Everyday Sacred" as part of the museum's exhibition on paintings and drawings by Carlo Dolci (1616-1687). Willimon also served as a bishop in the United Methodist Church and as dean of Duke Chapel for 20 years.
The talk is in conjunction with the exhibition, The Medici's Painter: Carlo Dolci and 17th-Century Florence. A favorite of the Medici court, Dolci was a celebrated and popular artist in his day, but his personal and original interpretation of sacred subjects fell out of favor in the 19th century. His main desire and spiritual mission was to paint intimate depictions of divine subjects that would inflame the faith of those who viewed them.
The talk is free with a ticket to "The Medici's Painter."

CENTREFOLD: How Hayek Got Inflation By The Balls
by Ronald Kitching
The great Nobel Prize winning economist/social scientist F. A. Hayek made a month long lecture tour of Australia in October 1976. There is a bit of an inside story to this tour which so far few know about. Hayek was invited to Australia for a lecture tour by economist Mark Tier. However, Hayek, at that time, had to decline, but as circumstances changed and as he did not know anybody else in Australia, he wrote a note to Sydney Economist/Barrister Roger Randerson, whom he once tutored at The London School of Economics, saying that he could squeeze in a month before going on previously scheduled visits to New Zealand and Japan.
Roger and I were good mates so he rang me with the good news. I then suggested to Roger that he immediately write back to Hayek and ask what his fee would be. I can still quote the answer. Hayek replied saying: Read the rest of this entry
