Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI).
Clap; The drip
Gonorrhea is caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Any type of sex can spread gonorrhea. You can get it through contact with the mouth, vagina, penis, or anus.
The bacteria grow in warm, moist areas of the body. This can include the tube that carries urine out of the body (urethra). In women, the bacteria may be found in the reproductive tract (which includes the fallopian tubes, uterus, and cervix). The bacteria can also grow in the eyes.
Health care providers are required by law to tell the State Board of Health about all cases of gonorrhea. The goal of this law is make sure the patient gets proper follow-up care. Sexual partners also need to be found and tested.
You are more likely to develop this infection if:
Symptoms of gonorrhea usually appear 2 - 5 days after infection. However, it may take up to a month for symptoms to appear in men.
Some people do not have symptoms. They may not know that they have caught the infection, so do not seek treatment. This increases the risk of complications and the chances of passing the infection on to another person.
Symptoms in men include:
Symptoms in women can be very mild. They can be mistaken for another type of infection. They include:
If the infection spreads to the bloodstream, symptoms include:
Gonorrhea can be quickly detected by looked at a sample of discharge or tissue under the microscope. This is called a gram stain. This method is fast, but it is not the most certain.
Cultures (cells that grow in a lab dish) provide proof of gonorrhea.
DNA tests are useful for screening. The ligase chain reaction (LCR) testis one of the tests. DNA tests are quicker than cultures. These tests can be performed on urine samples, which are easier to collect than samples from the genital area.
If you have gonorrhea, you should ask to be tested for other sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. If you are a woman age 21 or older, you should be sure you have had a recent Pap smear.
A number of different antibiotics may be used for treating this type of infection.
About half of the women with gonorrhea are also infected with chlamydia. Chlamydia is treated at the same time as a gonorrhea infection.
You will need a follow-up visit 7 days after if your symptoms included joint pain, skin rash, or more severe pelvic or belly pain is present. Tests will be done to make sure the infection is gone.
Sexual partners must be tested and treated to prevent passing the infection back and forth. You and your partner must finish all of the antibiotics. Use condoms until you both have finished taking your antibiotics.
All sexual contacts of the person with gonorrhea should be contacted and tested. This helps prevent further spread of the infection.
A gonorrhea infection that has not spread can almost always be cured with antibiotics. Gonorrhea that has spread is a more serious infection. Most of the time, it gets better with treatment.
Complications in women may include:
Complications in men may include:
Call your health care provider right away if you have symptoms of gonorrhea. Most state-sponsored clinics will diagnose and treat STIs without charge.
Avoiding sexual contact is the only sure way to prevent gonorrhea. If you and your partner do not have sex with any other persons, this can greatly reduce your chance also.
Safe sex means taking steps before and during sex that can prevent you from getting an infection, or from giving one to your partner.
Ash your healthcare provider if you should receive the hepatitis B vaccine-link and the HPV vaccine-link.

November 6, 2013...GT Advanced Technologies announced that it has entered into a multi-year supply agreement with Apple Inc. to provide sapphire material. The sapphire material will specifically not go into LEDs. It will go into screens and lenses of Apple products. GT will own and operate ASF® furnaces and related equipment to produce the material at an Apple facility in Arizona in which GT expects to employ over 700 people. Apple will provide GT with a prepayment of approximately $578 million. GT will reimburse Apple for the prepayment over five years, starting in 2015. Although the agreement does not guarantee purchase volumes, it does require GT to maintain a minimum production capacity. GT will be subject to certain exclusivity terms during the agreement. GT expects this agreement to add to revenues starting in 2014.
GT has accelerated the development of its next generation, large capacity ASF furnaces to deliver low cost, high volume manufacturing of sapphire material for its non-LED initiative with Apple. Despite this new agreement being specifically not for LEDs, it is expected to enable the expansion of GT's LED, industrial and specialty sapphire businesses by positioning GT and its equipment customers as the industry's lowest cost sapphire producers.
Tom Gutierrez, GT's president and CEO commented, "By leveraging the new materials operation and our enhanced R&D efforts, we will be well positioned to drive the growth of other sapphire opportunities, including the expansion of our LED and industrial sapphire businesses in partnership with our ASF customers."
November 4, 2013...Honda Motor Co., Ltd. of Tokyo announced plans to discontinue the operations of Honda Soltec Co., Ltd., Honda's wholly-owned photovoltaic subsidiary, in spring 2014. Honda reportedly plans to withdraw from the production and sales of photovoltaic products. Honda said that despite its efforts to improve performance and reduce the cost of producing CIGS solar cells, the company does not have good prospects to reach its original business goals.
Honda Soltec plans to discontinue operations and dissolve the company in spring 2014. In the Japan market, Honda Soltec will take new orders until mid-February 2014, and after sales service for Honda photovoltaic systems sold by that date will be continued through Honda Kaihatsu Co., Ltd., an affiliated company of Honda.
Honda said it would continue its electricity generation and sales business and continue the research and development of the Honda Smart Home System to foster recycling-oriented energy management based on home energy generation and consumption.
November 4, 2013...Investment company, Starboard Value LP and its affiliates, an owner of 8% of TriQuint Semiconductor and one of the its largest shareholders wrote a letter to shareholders. In the letter, Starboard outlined how the price of TriQuint Stock is being dragged down by the company's underperforming mobile power amplifier business. Starboard suggested that the performance of the Power Amplifier business needs to improve or the business should be sold.
Starboard asserted that that significant utilization problems have plagued the Mobile PA business, and missed design cycles contributed to large losses and reduced consolidated gross margins. Starboard noted, "In fact, over the last five years the Company underperformed its closest peers by more than 93%."
Starboard was however very positive about TriQuint's growing Networks & Defense and Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) Filter businesses that combined produce about half of the Companys revenue. Starboard said, "We believe that these two businesses alone are worth far more than where the Company currently trades."
According to the letter, TriQuints Network & Defense business, which produces GaAs products for optical networks, cellular base stations and military airborne radar, is underutilized by the market. However, Starboard praised the growth of TriQuints BAW Filter business based in Richardson, Texas, and outlined its growth potential with their increasing use in the LTE market and in higher frequency bands in which SAW filter performance will not suffice.
TriQuint welcomed the input saying that the company regularly reviews business strategy including the sale of underutilized equipment, share buybacks, as well as the withdrawal from unattractive businesses over time.
November 4, 2013...First Solar, Inc. announced an agreement to sell the 250-megawatt (MW)AC Silver State South Solar Project to a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources. The deal is expected to close early in 2014, subject to certain conditions. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Silver State South is located on approximately 3,000 acres of public land in Clark County, Nevada, adjacent to the 50MWAC Silver State North project, which was developed and built by First Solar and commissioned in 2012.
First Solar says it will continue to develop and permit Silver State South, and provide Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services for the project. Construction on the project is expected to begin in early 2014 after final regulatory and permitting approvals are received. Completion of the project is expected in late 2016. Silver State South will utilize First Solar's thin film solar modules installed on the company's single-axis tracker mounting system. All the power from Silver State South will be sold to Southern California Edison under a long-term power purchase agreement.
First Solar says that at its peak, the project will create up to 300 full-time construction jobs. "Together, NextEra and First Solar are playing a key role in creating more jobs in Nevada and delivering clean, affordable solar energy," Tim Rebhorn, First Solar's senior vice president of business development for the Americas stated.
In October, NextEra Energy Resources named First Solar the EPC contractor for its 250MWAC McCoy Solar Energy Project in Riverside County, California.
November 4, 2013...Cree of Durham, North Carolina USA, announced that Shinry Technologies employed Crees 1200-V C2M family of SiC MOSFETs in its new, high-efficiency, hybrid-electric and electric-vehicle (HEV/EV) power converters to achieve 96-percent efficiency. According to Shinry Technologies, Crees C2M SiC MOSFETS also enabled a 25-percent reduction in product size and reduced peak-power losses by over 60 percent compared to traditional silicon versions.
Dr. Wu Ren Hua, CEO of Shinry Technologies stated, The new C2M family of SiC MOSFETs from Cree allows our new HEV/EV power converters for passenger cars and buses to deliver industry-leading efficiency of 96 percent in a compact size that is 25 percent smaller than current platforms not using Cree C2M SiC MOSFETs.
Based in Shenzhen, China, Shinry Technologies Co., Ltd. specializes in creating HEV/EV DC-DC converter, on-board-charger and rapid-charger solutions. The company leverages Crees second-generation SiC MOSFETs in its latest 3 to 10-kW DC-DC converters for electric buses, Shinry achieved considerable efficiency improvement and significantly reduced size and weight. Cree says that its C2M family of SiC MOSFETs, which was launched in March, have achieved more than three times the power density of typical silicon technology in standard power supply designs. The MOSFETs have reportedly been employed in solar inverters, industrial power supplies, battery chargers, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems and several other applications.
October 28, 2013...The Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research (Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung Baden-Württemberg, ZSW of Stuttgart, Germany has has achieved 20.8 percent efficient CIGS thin-film solar cells. The researchers note that for the first time, CIGS efficiency records have exceeded the efficiency of market-dominating multi-crystalline silicon solar cells. The 0.5 square centimeter record solar cell was made from copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) with a laboratory coating system using a simultaneous evaporation process.
"Our new record shows that CIGS thin-film technology still has untapped technological and economic potential," said a delighted Prof. Dr. Michael Powalla, board member and head of the photovoltaics division at ZSW. He added, "It may take a little time for the higher efficiency to be reflected in production, but 16 to 18% in commercial modules is possible over the next few years."
The new record CIGS cell surpasses ZSW's own previous CIGS record of 20.3% on glass. More importantly, the researcher point out that this beats the record of 20.4% for multi-crystalline silicon cells. The results were officially confirmed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE (Freiburg, Germany). ZSW's success is the result of intensive research activities that have been supported by the German Federal Environment Ministry and the state of Baden-Württemberg for many years.
October 28, 2013...First Solar reports that it has successfully completed and handed over a 13 megawatt (MWDC) CdTe thin-film photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The facility, the companys first Middle East utility-scale project is the largest operating solar PV plant in the region. The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) selected First Solar to provide engineering, procurement and construction services, as well as its advanced thin-film modules.
First Solar successfully connected the plant to the emirates electricity grid just 195 days after breaking ground in March 2013. The plant is powered by 152,880 First Solar FS Series 3 Black PV modules that cover 59 acres or 59 acres or 238,764 square meters. It will generate approximately 24 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per year. The plant is designed to operate for over 25 years.
This plant represents an important step in the implementation of the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030 to diversify Dubais energy mix, as envisioned by the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, said His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Vice Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy.
The plant is the first phase of the landmark Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, named after His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The Park is expected to eventually cover 40 square kilometers and produce 1,000MW of clean energy for the national grid using both PV and solar thermal technology.
October 28, 2013...IQE plc of Cardiff, UK, has signed an initial three-year supply contract with Philips Technologie GmbH ("Philips") for epi-wafers used for the manufacturing of vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) devices. VCSELs are semiconductor laser chips which can be produced in mass scale for a wide variety of applications, including: optical data communication, industrial sensing, illumination, gesture recognition, and heating applications. Philips reportedly plans to scale up its activities to meet the increasing demand for solid state lasers. The contract, which supplies the majority of IQE's epi-wafers to Philips, is renewable after the initial three year term, and also includes a joint development agreement.
Dr Joseph Pankert, General Manager of Philips Photonics, said, "VCSELs are expected to show rapid growth in the coming years. This growth is driven by a variety of applications and Philips is committed to address the growing demand. Teaming up with IQE is an essential element of our growth strategy and enables us to meet the required volume and quality levels."
Dr Drew Nelson, CEO of IQE plc, commented, "Many of the applications that are enabled by IQE's VCSEL wafers are at an inflection point where growth is expected to significantly ramp up over the coming months and years. IQE is able to offer many attractive USP's, including a comprehensive product range, scale of operation, multiple manufacturing locations, and long experience in LD epi-wafer manufacturing"
October 28, 2013...Riber of Bezons, France, announced the launch of its new 3" molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) research system, the Compact 21DZ. The new system was announced at the 2013 North American Molecular Beam Epitaxy Conference (NAMBE). Riber says that the Compact 21 DZ is first system of this size to integrate 12 geometrically equivalent cell-source ports. The company says it is designed to meet the needs of users looking to minimize their fixed costs. The new system is especially designed for fundamental research on new compound semiconductors for the microelectronics or optoelectronics industry, particularly for structures based on III-V, II-VI, GaN materials, graphene, oxides, etc. Riber says that it is particularly recommended for the development of emerging technologies, such as UV LEDs or high-performance solar cells.

PRO-CHOICE. Potential trigger warning,
For those who do not follow the pro-choice movement, the events of last week proved to be a bit of a shocker. And, rightly so. For those of us who do follow the pro-choice movement, Savita's story is not such an anomaly. The biggest, most distinguishing factor about this tragedy is that this happened in Ireland, in a 'developed country', our neighbours, incredibly close to home. As one of my closest friends (who is Irish) said to me in an email earlier this week 'I'm in shock and utter rage about what's happened in Ireland. This is my country, it's the first world and this happens?'
Abortion is a subject which warrants a dialogue and engagement not avoidance. Abortion is a social issue and abortion is a feminist issue. Acknowledgment, understanding, and awareness of abortion is vital if we are to break down the negative labeling associated with it. When it comes to personal experiences of abortion, why is it that women only disclose this information to their nearest and dearest and most trusted? Why is it that, in 2012, women do not feel confident enough to stand up and admit to being a woman who has had an abortion? My answer to this would be because of an unwarranted, widespread, and insidious judgment powered by silence, by shaming, by avoidance, and ignorance. Contrary to what the heavy regulations and controversy surrounding abortion suggest, it is a not scarcely performed medical procedure: in 2009, 21% of UK conceptions ended in abortion, yet women still feel the need to be silent about their experiences for fear of being judged or tarnished with a label which is not, and should never be, applicable to them. There are so many myths and negative connotations surrounding abortion that, for many women, speaking out about it is a daunting and frightening prospect.
So, here's a bit of myth busting:
1. Abortion is faced by married women, by single women, by mothers with children, by women in long-term relationships. Statistics show that approximately one in three women in the UK will have an abortion in her lifetime. ONE IN THREE.
2. Abortions occur at all reproduction life stages: 9% of abortions are for girls under 18; 41% ages 18-24; 36% ages 25-34; and 14% age 35+.
4. Abortion is very safe in Britain. It is one of the most commonly performed gynaecological procedures.
4. Internationally, each year, 20 million abortions take place in unsafe, unhygienic, and downright grotty conditions. Because of this an estimated 80,000 women die.
(stats taken from www.dh.gov.uk and www.statistics.gov.uk)
Why is this still a taboo subject? Why is this still something which society teaches us to be ashamed of or be made guilty for doing? Why is this still an issue which is subject to restrictive, and down right shaming, legislation which makes women jumps through hoops, stand on their heads, and do a tap-dance?
At present, British abortion legislation is based on the Abortion Act (1967) and the Section 37 of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act (1990). In Britain, abortion is not legally available at the request of the woman. The ultimate decision resides with not one but two GPs. This gets even more scary when you take into account that 10% of British GPs consider themselves to be actively anti- abortion and have or would refuse to grant a woman an abortion because of this. The situation for our sisters in Northern Ireland is positively medieval: British abortion laws are not applicable in Northern Ireland, therefore women do not have access to safe legal abortion.
So, what are the repercussions of this? What does this really mean? In Britain, it means that women are side-lined and marginalized. It means women have little choice and no voice. It means that women are subjects not citizens. Furthermore, for women in Northern Ireland, it means trauma and emotional distress brought about by having to surreptitiously seek an illegal abortion. It means serious complications and health repercussions caused by back street abortion methods. It means death. How can we expect abortion to break free from social stigma if the people who seek it are treated as though they are criminals, offered up to and bound by the decisions of others.
Where is the autonomy in this? As far as I can see, there is none. It is a humiliating and paternalistic attitude, perpetuated by a government who so cleverly appointed an anti-abortion health minister (a man, no less!) who wants to reduce the upper limit to 12 weeks. A bizarre move given that only 8% of abortions are carried out over the 12 week period anyway. Who exactly is being protected here? Not the women facing abortion, that's for sure. These attitudes need to stop.
Abortion is not a dirty word.
Abortion is not a crime.
Abortion is not something to be ashamed of.
Abortion should not be an 'issue' which is pushed under the proverbial carpet and only discussed/ acknowledged at time of crisis (i.e. now)
Abortion is a real and tangible factor of everyday life.
Abortion. Don't be afraid to say it.
One in three women in the UK will have an abortion in her lifetime. One in three. Look around you….

New. Kan. appeals judge to take seat in January
Published on -9/11/2013, 1:03 PM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- Budget constraints and the need to remodel office space will keep newly confirmed Kansas Court of Appeals Judge Caleb Stegall from taking his seat until January.
Chief Judge Thomas Malone announced Wednesday that Stegall will be sworn in Jan. 3. Stegall is Gov. Sam Brownback's chief counsel.
Stegall is filling a new, 14th seat on the Court of Appeals. When lawmakers finished their regular, annual session in June, and they and court officials didn't anticipate the new judge's confirmation by the Senate until January.
The Legislature had a special session earlier this month to rewrite a criminal sentencing law, and senators took up Stegall's nomination then.
Spokesman Ron Keefover said the judicial branch also must remodel several small, vacant offices into a judge's suite.

PDX Waterproof Glove
If you were to make the riding season in Portland into a pie chart it would look something like a pizza with one small slice missing. The small slice is the time when it's not raining. The rest of the year is well, pretty much wet. Like the rest of our PDX™ line, the PDX waterproof gloves were made for the rain. Our biggest challenge was to make them waterproof without compromising dexterity and feel. Embossed neoprene flex panels in critical areas provide plenty of flex and pre-curved palm and fingers ensure great feel from your controls. The waterproof textile chassis with over-the-cuff gauntlets keep the moisture out. Protection comes by the way of abrasion-resistant palms and heavy duty construction.
$44.00 Suggested Retail USD
- Waterproof textile chassis
- Abrasion resistant palm
- Embossed neoprene flex panels in critical areas
- Pre-curved palm and finger design
- Hook and loop closure system
- Over the cuff gauntlet
- Elastic at the cuff

Yesterday, we made our way to Florida to talk with Boys and Girls Clubbers in Miami.
...Our View | DUI, Underage Drinking & Binge Drinking News & Opinions
National rates of obesity have tripled in the past three decades to the point where one in three kids in the country are overweight.
...It's very real and very intense. Don't make the mistake of downplaying the object of your child's affection
It's almost Valentine's Day, a time when young hearts turn to love.
Thirteen-year-old Jeannine couldn't wait to tell her friend the big news.
"Omigod, Cameron looked at me in science class. Should I put the mystery Valentine on his desk like we talked about?"
"I don't know, Jeannine. Are you sure he looked at you, and it wasn't Tessa he was looking at?"
"I don't know. I don't know. What should I do?"
Ryan's mom was talking to her friend about her 17-year-old son.
"He showed me this necklace he bought for Elena that he's going to give to her for Valentine's Day, and it was like $400. I mean, that's a couple months worth of what he earns working at his part-time job. I think he's way too serious about her."
"Well, they have been going out for almost a year."
"Thirteen months, seventeen days, actually. That's what he said this morning."
Teenage love is very real. Not just sex, but love. It could be the seemingly mindless crush of a 13-year-old girl on a boy in her science class, or the far more mature love relationship of a high school senior for his long-time girlfriend.
Carolyn Hanig experienced one of the worst things that a mother can imagine.
...Dear Dr. Wolf,
My 14-year-old son "caught" my husband smoking outside. My husband quit smoking four years ago but has apparently started again without telling any of us. My son is very angry and has lost significant respect for his dad. I have tried to explain to my husband the loss of trust, but he feels our son should be able to move on. I honestly don't know if I need more help dealing with my husband or my son. I just need to find something to help our son deal with the mistrust he is experiencing now.
Caught in Between
Dear Caught in Between,
Parents of teenagers automatically have a terrible problem: They are human beings. Which means they, like all other human beings, have flaws.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Is there any value to adding products called "glyconutrients" to the routine of a patient undergoing chemotherapy for advanced prostate cancer? Or is this another example of "quackery" via the Internet?
Katrina Claghorn, MS, RD, Registered Dietitian at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Glyconutrients are dietary supplements that are promoted as essential for health and for improving immunity. They are formulations of monosaccharides, or simple sugars. While the body utilizes these sugars for energy and they are essential for many biologic functions, there is insufficient research to support claims that they will benefit cancer patients. Suggestion by manufacturers that these sugars are limited in our food supply is not proven or supported by any evidence. In addition, our bodies produce these simple sugars from the foods we eat, thus supplementing with these extra sugars is unlikely to provide benefit.
There is an emerging area of science known as glycobiology that focuses on the impact of carbohydrates on health. Promoters of glyconutrients have taken some of the emerging science and oversimplified it to support their claims of heath benefits derived from their products. Another factor to consider is that these products are primarily sold through multi-level sales structures.
Oct 15, 2012 - Patient navigation -- a service that helps patients navigate the health care system, including setting up appointments, dealing with health insurance, and coping with fears about cancer -- leads to quicker breast cancer diagnosis, especially for women requiring biopsy, according to a study published in the October issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, caused by osteoarthritis, disc degeneration, thickening of the ligaments, injury, and other causes. Genetics also play a role in the development of spinal stenosis.
Symptoms include back, neck, and leg pain, including numbness in the posterior, thighs or calves, and difficulty maintaining balance while walking. Although painful, the symptoms of spinal stenosis can be alleviated with postural supports and pressure-relief products.
Postural support and pressure relief are key in assisting those with spinal stenosis. Combinations of wedges, seat supports, and other tools for alignment may help in relieving pressure.

I'm again sharing some of my favorite inspiration photos, which I've saved from different sources.
I've always loved an entryway that has room for a big round table. This image also appealed to me because I think the sidelights and transom around the door are beautiful, and that floral arrangement on the table is spectacular, not to mention the bell jar light and those two large blue and white pieces under the table.
This room, in a vacation home, just looks like fun. Those built-in bunk beds would thrill my grandchildren. Love the chairs with slip-covers, which I assume can be removed for washing – perfect in a get-away that should be fun and relaxing for everyone.
I saved this picture, because I love the way the table cover is made, and this just looks like a lovely place to have a cup of tea and chat with a friend.
I could do some serious relaxing in this bathtub. I love the claw-foot tub and the tub fixtures. Did you notice the pretty wainscoting ~ such a nice way to dress up the bathroom. The wainscoting, combined with the rustic floor and rusty chair, give the room interesting contrasts. (If I ever decided to get out of this tub, I'd want a little rug for my feet, and I'd like to see a larger mirror or print on the wall.) How peaceful this is.
I think it is the colors and the symmetry that appeal to me in this bedroom. Blue and white is a favorite color combination of mine. Some of the elements I like: those framed prints on the wall; the subtle blue and white striped rug, and the white bedding with touches of blue (although I think it would be prettier if the folded blanket at the foot of the bed was a lighter shade of blue). I love the desk, with a view out the pretty window, framed by blue print curtains and plates (although I'd probably use a few more plates on those walls. I'm envisioning two rows of 3 or 4 plates on each side of the window. You know me, more is always better!)
Now this is the way to cook outdoors! Look at that spectacular oven and grill, all of those cabinets for storage, and a built in sink! There's a fireplace to keep you warm during the cooler months and comfortable furnishings for lounging. Did you notice the chandelier? I like that it's pretty, but not obtrusive. I'm not sure I'd want to have to keep this space clean, but I do love dreaming about it.
I know I'm not alone when I say that I love everything at Patina Farm, but when I saw this gorgeous secretary, I think my heart stopped for a minute. Those colors; that gorgeous bonnet top; the shape of those glass doors; that clock ~ okay, you get the idea, I love everything about it!
Who was I BI (Before Internet)? (No, I'm not talking about that I had a smaller bottom, since I sit on it so much more than I did BI.) I'm just wondering how I managed without all of this amazing beauty right at my fingertips. I hope you enjoyed seeing a little of what inspired me this week. laurie

These drums are typical of what you would find at an open-air market in Ghana, are likely the type of drum-souvenir most tourists take home with them after a holiday in Ghana, and is similar to most drums exported from Ghana. The size is standard for an adult drummer, about 12-13" head X about 24" tall. This particular model features a natural finish, four deep carved masks on the base, dry shaved goat skin head, and bright kente cloth around the belly. For comparitive information, please use our Djembe Selector Table. Exact size and style will vary from photos above, but will be similar. Kente cloth around belly may or may not be present.

It's here and within grasp, the wettest year on record. Never, and I mean never, have I ever seen it rain so freaking much, so consistently, and in such a manner.
The ground is so saturated that just as soon as an even a light rain begins it immediately starts to run off. It's insane. The water table is as high as I've ever seen it anywhere and at any time. Just incredible amounts of water running in every creek, stream, and river in the entire valley area.
Must be something to those little white planes after all.
About due for a blizzard......................Truly unreal these days.

Laser surgery uses laser light to remove diseased tissues or treat bleeding blood vessels. Laser surgery may also be used to remove wrinkles, sunspots, tattoos, or birthmarks.
A laser is a light beam that can be focused on a very small area. The laser heats cells in the area being treated until they "burst."
There are several types of lasers. Each laser has specific uses. The color of the light beam used is directly related to the type of surgery being performed and the color of the tissue being treated. Types of lasers include the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, the YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) laser, alexandrite, KTP, and the pulsed dye laser.
Surgery using a laser
Laser surgery can be used to:
Possible risks of laser surgery include:
Some laser surgery is done when you are asleep and pain free (general anesthesia ). Talk to your health care provider about risks of laser surgery
The success of laser surgery depends on the condition being treated. Talk to your health care provider about what you can expect.
You may need to keep the skin moisturized and away from sun after treatment.
Recovery time depends on the surgery and your overall health. Your health care provider let you know before surgery the recovery time you should need.

Entendez, entendez! Lisez-en tout! (Translated: Extra! Extra! Read all about it!) Local museum receives rare volumes of 'La Justice,' Sanford's historic French newspaper
Saturday, September 7, 2013
SPRINGVALE — Three years ago, local historian Harland Eastman was delighted when the Sanford-Springvale Historical Museum received four bound volumes of "La Justice," the French newspaper published in Sanford during the first half of the 20th century. The volumes covered issues from 1935 and from the years 1939 through 1941.
Eastman and Claire Auger flipped through old copies of "La Justice" during a recent morning at the museum. Auger, in particular, studied the front page of the issue of "La Justice" published on Thursday, May 21, 1942 — Jeudi, 21 Mai 1942. There, above the fold, with a bold headline and a few photographs, are details of the funeral at St. Ignatius Church for her uncle and aunt, Lionel and Fabiola LaFrance. Days before, the LaFrances had gone fishing late in the evening with their friend, Raphael LeClerc, at Bunganut Lake in Alfred. Lionel stood up inside their boat, it capsized, and the LaFrances and LeClerc tumbled into the water. LeClerc clung to the boat and survived. Tragically, the LaFrances, did not.
Sanford-Springvale had lost a generous and respected couple that had donated much of their time and talent to the community, "La Justice" reported about its own longtime editor and his wife. The LaFrances were involved with numerous local organizations and also operated the LaFrance funeral home on Winter Street. Barrieau succeeded LaFrance as editor in June of 1942. "La Justice" was a member of the French Language Newspaper Association, which published papers in many areas. The broadsheet cost a nickel at the store, with subscriptions going for 85 cents for six months or $1.50 for a year. Circulation numbers are not known all these years later; however, Auger and her son, Paul, a local history teacher, were able to randomly sample 16 districts in town from the 1940 census and determine that 46 percent of Sanford's citizens were Franco-American, so the bet is that readership was high.
The newspaper had a mix of local, national and global stories on its front page. Stories about World War II, for example, could dominate above the fold, but a local blurb about a grieving widow could appear on the bottom of the page. Inside the paper, the news and features continued, and you could find little items about birthdays and anniversaries and who was away on vacation and other small-town social tidbits.
Barrieau's donation of these volumes of "La Justice" is an enormous and unexpected gift for the local historical museum and the residents and Franco-American descendants of Sanford. According to Eastman, before Barrieau emerged with those first four volumes, there were no known copies of the newspaper in existence. Earlier editions, however, are on microfiche at Folger Library up at the University of Maine in Orono, and Eastman hopes to make the trip up there some day to research the paper's pre-1929 existence. |

The Art of War(craft): Must-have PvP talents for hunters in 4.0.1
We don't have much time before Cataclysm hits, so let's get down to business. We've talked about some optimal talents for death knights and druids for PvP, so now we turn our attention to hunters. Hunters have always had a tough time in arenas, not necessarily because the class was broken but because the format simply wasn't conducive to the hunter playstyle. It got so bad, in fact, that Blizzard designed an arena -- the Ring of Valor -- specifically to benefit hunters. On the other hand, hunters have always lorded it over in the open expanse of the battlegrounds.
The good news is that battlegrounds will be cool again. Well, they've always been cool in my book, but soon they'll be rewarding cool gear, too. That means hunters will once again feel like PvP gods (without needing the help of an enhancement shaman). There's one big change to hunters in Patch 4.0.1 and that's the change in resource from mana to focus. The difference with the way focus behaves is that rather than a resource well that pays for spells and abilities (mana), hunters have abilities that generate focus in combat such as Steady Shot and Cobra Shot, and then a whole load of focus dumps. In a way it's like death knight runic power or warrior rage without the decay. This means you'll always want to have nearly full focus but never gain focus that will simply slough off because you're over your maximum. It's a careful balance of gaining and spending, although focus regenerates at a steady rate.

quote:I too wonder what would happen if WM were to hire a black principal or HC but I don't think I have to worry about that happening anytime soon. Heads would roll.
quote:You neville clowns will never pass up a chance to take a cheap shot at WM. Not one WM fan in this thread said one negative thing about neville. Then like the typical clowns you folks are, you start bashing WM.
quote:Haters gonna hate. Deal with it clown, neville has been second fiddle to WM for well over 15 years and will continue to be for many decades to come. Its the new norm. Get used to it.
quote:Because Neville isn't going to hire a black principal or head football coach any time in the near future and not because Vidrine and McCarty are relatively young.
quote: I might be at the Neville game tomorrow night. You'd be amazed at what I know about Neville.
quote:Translation: Rocket, you're right. If Rankins had a habit of getting crossways with influential white Neville supporters,etc., he'd had been gone a long time ago. But he doesn't, so people like him. BTW, I know Roosevelt Rankins. I know where lives(not far from Lamy), know what truck he used to drives or used to drive, know where his business is and know all about "get down tigers".
quote:Kinda like Alabama hiring Mike Shula over Sly Croom.
quote:Take away John Curtis and what team from the south wins championships on a regular basis
quote:You wish
quote:The old money is alot of what has kept Neville from going the way Wossman went....and the fact that it has always had a white principal and white head football coach. Will be a big uproar is the demographics of those two positions change.
quote:Again, there is not now, and never has been an agenda to hire a black head football coach among your uncle and those Neville faithful.
quote:Can the Neville-WM pissing contest go somewhere else? This thread is about North vs South. Anyway, another reason why the South is better even though the numbers on the north and the south are relatively even, the North has less competition between schools over getting an athlete. Take a kid from Orleans parish for example and he may have scholarship offers from Rummel, HC, Jes, BM, Newman, St. Martins, etc., and free tuition at any magnet school, any charter school, and his home public high school. The talent is so spread out.
