Extremity angiography is a test used to see the arteries in the hands, arms, feet, or legs. It is also called peripheral angiography.
Angiography uses x-rays and a special dye to see inside the arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
Angiography of the extremity; Peripheral angiography; Lower extremity angiogram; Peripheral angiogram;
This test is done in a hospital. You will lie on an x-ray table. You may ask for some medicine to make you sleep and relaxed (sedative) if you are anxious about the test.
The health care provider will shave and clean an area, usually in the groin.
Certain treatments can be done during this procedure. These treatments include:
The health care team will check your pulse (heart rate), blood pressure, and breathing during the procedure.
The catheter is removed when the test is done. Pressure is placed on the area for 10 - 15 minutes to stop any bleeding. A bandage is then put on the wound.
The arm or leg where the needle was placed should be kept straight for 6 hours after the procedure. You should avoid strenuous activity, such as heavy lifting, for 24 - 48 hours.
You should not eat or drink anything for 6 - 8 hours before the test.
You may be told to stop taking certain medications such as aspirin or other blood thinners for a short while before the test. Never stop taking any medicines unless told to do so by your health care provider.
Make sure your health care provider knows about all the medicines you take, including those bought without a prescription. This includes herbs and supplements.
Tell your health care provider if you:
The x-ray table is hard and cold. You may want to ask for a blanket or pillow. You may feel some stinging when the numbing medicine is injected. You may also feel some pressure as the catheter is moved.
The dye can cause a feeling of warmth and flushing. This is normal and usually goes away in a few seconds.
You may have tenderness and bruising at the site of the catheter insertion after the test. Seek immediate medical help if you have:
Your doctor may order this test if you have symptoms of a narrowed or blocked blood vessel in the arms, hands, legs, or feet.
The test may also be done to diagnose:
The x-ray shows normal structures for the age of the patient.
An abnormal result is common due to narrowing and hardening of the arteries in the arms or legs due to plaque build-up (hardening of the arteries) in the artery walls.
The x-ray may show a blockage in the vessels caused by:
Abnormal results may also be due to:
Complications may include:
There is low-level radiation exposure. However, most experts feel that the risk of most x-rays is smaller than other risks we take every day. Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of the x-ray.

After local dog dies out in the cold, PETA shares tips to keep pets safe in winter
From PETA:
Following reports that a dog froze to death after being left outside on a sub-freezing night, PETA offers the following tips to safeguard animals during winter weather.
Every year, PETA receives thousands of complaints about people who leave dogs outside in the cold. Although they are equipped with fur coats, dogs and other animals can still suffer from frostbite and exposure, and they can become dehydrated when water sources freeze. Cold weather spells extra hardship for "backyard dogs," who often go without adequate food, water, shelter, or veterinary care—it can also pose challenges for wildlife.

Box: 3 Fold: 32 Correspondence: Fraser, Hugh
@ 12/6/74: "Thank you so much for your letter. I shall certainly get to the Memorial Service for David..."
@ 2/20/75: "I think your memo for the guidance of David Jones' heirs and successors is admirable and I congratulate you on it. How very typical of the dear man to die intestate, but I think really your proposals are better than anything he would have been able to devise because of his great humility."
Box: 3 Fold: 33 Correspondence: Hagreen, Philip
@ ALS 2/7/82 - "Dear Harman - I can't address you as tho I were a stranger for we were both close friends of David's. I write to you because - when Rene was gathering matter for a big life of David, which came to nothing, I was able to tell him about how David suddenly became a master. I was sharing a workshop with him on Ditchling Common & now I am the sole survivor from Eric's enterprise. I must have written about twenty letters to Rene. I learn from Rosalind [Hague] that they may still exist & may be in yr care. Is this so?..."
@ ALS 2/14/82 - "Dear Harman - Great thanks for yr letter - I am glad to know that my letters, and other stuff about David, are suitably lodged."
Box: 3 Fold: 34 Correspondence: Hills, Paul
@ This letter concerns Hills' work on a catalog of DJ's artwork, possibly published later as "David Jones" (London: The Tate Gallery, 1981). See annotation by Samuel Rees in "David Jones: Man and Poet" by John Matthias, p.527.
@ Excerpt of the letter:
@ "I first met David in 1968 and visited him regularly until three weeks before he died. He seemed particularly pleased that I was trying to track down and catalogue his paintings and I well remember the interest in his eye when I was able to show him photographs of paintings that he had not seen for decades..."
Box: 3 Fold: 35 Correspondence: Hodgkin, Edward ("Teddy") Box: 3 Fold: 36 Correspondence: Honeyman, Stanley (a)
@ Stanley Honeyman implemented the so-called "David Jones Fund," an annuity fund of bequests and contributions from friends of DJ. In "Dai Greatcoat..." Rene Hague describes Honeyman's role (pp.201-202): "David moved in April 1964 to a large room...at the Monksdene Hotel, in the flat suburban part of Harrow. There he remained until his slight stroke and fall in 1970, after which he spent his last four years in the Calvary Nursing Home of the Blue Sisters, on Sudbury Hill, Harrow. It was at this time that his need of money became pressing....In 1964 Helen Sutherland died and left David 6,000 pounds. At this point Stanley Honeyman stepped in, arranging for the raising of more money and for the purchase of an annuity."
@ Concerning the annuity fund for DJ, see also correspondence from Douglas Cleverdon, Folder 3:20.
Box: 3 Fold: 37 Correspondence: Honeyman, Stanley (b)
@ TL copy to Ben Jones from Honeyman 9/13/73, seems to sum up the situation: "Harman Grisewood and I are still spending an enormous amount of time trying to resolve the question of David Jones' will. We have quite frankly come to the conclusion that dear old David will never, repeat never, settle down to drawing up a detailed will and testament in the usual way because of the temperamental and psychological difficulties of which we are all aware."
Box: 3 Fold: 38 Correspondence: Honeyman, Stanley (c)
@ Honeyman's letter to Hyne of 11/27/74 sets the tone for all correspondence regarding this matter: "[HG] and I will try and commit to paper in the form of a memorandum our joint assessment of David's attitudes, instincts and intentions regarding his possessions and this will be sent to you all as soon as possible. It will take a little time because we shall want to be as accurate and dispassionate as possible, and this is not easily achieved with a man who did not fall into any of the normal human categories."
@ Includes 4 copies entitled, "Memorandum re Possible Disposition of the Estate of David Jones." Also, includes 4pp. entitled, "Memorandum - David Jones," outlining recommendations for the disposition of specific categories of items, e.g., DJ's books and paintings.
Box: 3 Fold: 39 Correspondence: Honeyman, Stanley (d)
@ A letter to note is the xerox copy of a TLS from Honeyman to W.A. Twiston-Davies, president of the National Museum of Wales, expressing his disappointment, at the discovery by Nicolete Gray who visited the museum while doing research for a book on DJ's paintings, that "not a single David Jones picture is on view." Honeyman concluded the letter as follows, "I have one consolation. On David's instruction, Ben Jones, Harman Grisewood and I produced a draft will providing for him to leave all his visual works to your Museum which in the event remained unsigned and David died intestate. At the time we were all disappointed at your loss but quite clearly divine powers intervened to put these possessions into more caring hands. I intended to follow David's wishes by leaving my personal modest collection and the considerable amount of archival material in my possession to you but they will now go elsewhere."

@ "Though modern in its reliance on mediating signs, David Jones' quest for meaning led him toward a Christian orthodoxy that approximates what Ananda K. Coomaraswamy, Eric Gill's most immediate intellectual master, called the philosophia perennis. The result was an apparent tension between epistemology and ontology at the center of his thinking about man-the-maker. He could propose that the thought we discover through our inductive making must be incarnational in mode and transcendental in final reference. No skeptic or agnostic would accept that yoking of the empirical to the theological. Nor would Gill or Coomaraswamy have put the matter in that way: though seekers themselves, they preferred the clarity of axioms and deductive consequences..."

Keywords: Atlantis, Plato, Socrates, Solon, history, geography
Atlantis is the theme of modern science fiction, hotels, cartoons, and much, much more. Questions about Atlantis come into Answers in Genesis more than you might think. Let's take a fresh look at it from a biblical perspective.
The island of Atlantis was first mentioned and recorded by Plato in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias.1 Plato mentions that this rather large island was later destroyed by a great earthquake. The time frame for this written account is said to be about 350–400 years before Christ.2
According to Plato, Atlantis was named for Atlas, who was supposedly the oldest twin of Poseidon, the son of Cronus in Greek mythology.3 Furthermore, Poseidon was the owner of the island and named it for his son. Other place names also reflect Atlas, such as the Atlantic Ocean and the Atlas Mountains extending from Morocco to Algeria.
According to Plato's account (of Socrates' account of Solon's account that he received from the Egyptians), the Athenians (people of the city of Athens and perhaps others in Greece) went to war with those inhabiting the island of Atlantis. The Atlantians had conquered parts of modern day Italy and North Africa and were threatening Greece and Egypt. According to the account, many of the Athenians may have died while fighting the Atlantians not long before the island's destruction.
Pre-Flood or Post-Flood Possibilities
When it comes down to it, either Atlantis was a real place or it wasn't. If it wasn't, then the discussion is more-or-less finished. And considering that this story was passed down several times before Plato recorded it, we can assume that it has some inaccuracies.
Regardless, let's assume for a moment that it was a real place and use a biblical framework to place it. Big-picture biblical explanations could be:
- Atlantis was destroyed by the Flood, and we should not expect to find remnants of it.
- Atlantis was destroyed after the Flood, and its remnants may still exist.
So, could Atlantis have been a pre-Flood continent? If so, there would be little evidence left due to such a worldwide cataclysm. However, the Critias account by Plato reads:
. . . which had elapsed since the war which was said to have taken place between those who dwelt outside the Pillars of Heracles and all who dwelt within them; this war I am going to describe. Of the combatants on the one side, the city of Athens was reported to have been the leader and to have fought out the war; the combatants on the other side were commanded by the kings of Atlantis, which, as was saying, was an island greater in extent than Libya and Asia, and when afterwards sunk by an earthquake, became an impassable barrier of mud to voyagers sailing from hence to any part of the ocean.
Also in Plato's account of Atlantis, he refers to the Atlantic Ocean as well as these "pillars of Hercules," which is likely the Strait of Gibraltar between modern-day Spain and Morocco. Plato said that Atlantis was as large as "Libya" and "Asia" (Asia was originally seen as a part of modern day Turkey).4 Keep in mind that this is not what we think of today as Libya and Asia, but the way the Greeks viewed them about 500 BC. Take note that these are post-Flood features and names.
Plato also gives the dimensions of the main island of Atlantis in a measurement called "stadia," which are about 600 feet each. The dimensions were 2000 by 3000 stadia. It was an oblong-shaped island. Translating this into modern measurement, it would have been about 227 miles by 340 miles, giving an estimated 77,000 square-mile area. This is about the size of the state of Nebraska. Plato's measurement makes Atlantis much smaller than a continent.
Since the modern continent scheme was changed significantly from the Flood and Plato was referring to post-Flood places, it is very unlikely that this Atlantis was pre-Flood. Plato's book Critias gives details of the island and much more (such as the ancient Egyptians originating the account), implying that if it existed, it was likely post-Flood. Egypt was formed by Mizraim, Noah's grandson, and is still known as Mizraim in the Hebrew language. So, for Egypt to be aware of it requires Noah's grandson Mizraim to have existed to begin Egypt. If so, descriptions given by Plato appear to place it outside of the Mediterranean in the Atlantic Ocean.
In the past, people have proposed likely places for Atlantis, such as the Americas or parts of it, remnants of the island of Thera (in the Mediterranean—which should be ruled out by Plato's statements), or the Azores in the Atlantic, but there has never been a consensus by researchers that any of these were indeed Atlantis.
Before or after the Tower of Babel?
Plato also informs us that Atlantis was inhabited by Poseidon and his family (including Atlas). Before people begin thinking "Are you taking Greek mythology seriously?" take note that Poseidon was son of Cronus, which is a variant of Cethimas/Kittim (Cronus/Kronos, Κρόνος).5 Biblically, Kittim is the son of Javan, the son of Japheth, the son of Noah. With this mind, Atlas was likely Noah's great, great, great grandson.
So, when Plato speaks of Poseidon inheriting land from the dispersion of people around the earth, this makes sense. Kittim, Poseidon's father, was mentioned in the Tower of Babel account. With the Tower of Babel dispersion happening just over hundred years after the Flood according to Ussher, then the earliest Atlantis could have been inhabited was soon after that time.6
When Might Have Atlantis Been Destroyed?
According to Plato, Poseidon's control of Atlantis had already been given to Atlas, after whose death several kings had ruled by the time the disaster struck the island. If Poseidon was the great, great grandson of Noah (the same as Eber, who is the father of the Hebrews, and in a different lineage), then it is reasonable to assume that his life expectancy would be near the same as Eber and Atlas may have been near the same as Eber's son Peleg. The ages of the post-Flood patriarchs dropped off after Noah.7
Patriarch | Age |
Noah | 950 |
Shem | 600 |
Arphaxad | 438 |
Shelah | 433 |
Eber | 464 |
Peleg | 239 |
Eber, who was born 66 years after the Flood, would have died 530 years after the Flood. Had Poseidon lived about this long as well, then this would have been about 1818 BC (according to Ussher who put the Flood at 2348 BC).8 This would have been about the time Abraham died as well.
Peleg died sooner, and assuming that Atlas was his contemporary, he too should have died much sooner than Poseidon, as should the next few in line. Using these assumptions, about 1818 BC would have been the earliest that Atlantis could have been destroyed. To give you some context, Moses and the Exodus from Egypt would have occurred in 1491 BC or about 850 years after the Flood (using Ussher's numbers).
So, it makes sense that there would be some time before the destruction of Atlantis. Plato records:
Now Atlas had a numerous and honorable family, and they retained the kingdom, the eldest son handing it on to his eldest for many generations . . . .
Remembering the limitations of Plato's account, this suggests several generations of rule well after Poseidon's son Atlas. Plato even records that their law had been passed down by Poseidon. So, it appears Poseidon had probably died by the time of the destruction of the island. So, let's use the earliest estimated date for Poseidon's death at 1818 BC.
The latest Atlantis could have been destroyed would have to be prior to Socrates, who died around 400 BC. But the account came through an aged Solon, who got it from the Egyptians and their accounts of the past. So, the latest date would surely be a few hundred years prior to Socrates' death. To be generous, let's set 600 BC as the latest date. So, we have a range of 1818 BC to about 600 BC.
What Happened to Atlantis—If It Did Exist?
First, it could have been completely destroyed by earthquake, volcano, or other disaster.9 Or perhaps the remnants of Atlantis that Plato wrote of have been destroyed since the time of his writing. Plato records that it was associated with a great earthquake—perhaps it was even felt in Greece.
According to Plato's account in Timaeus, the ocean where Atlantis used to be was nearly impassable by boat due to the mud and debris from the island. However, in 2,000-3,000 years such sediment could have traveled and settled out in other areas due to ocean currents, tides, storms, and so on. So, that may not be a good sign to look for today. Perhaps groups of islands may be the place to look in the Atlantic Ocean extending from the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea. But this is just speculation; we may never know where it was, if it did exist.
Could the destruction of Atlantis have been caused by a sudden rise in sea level? Creationists have often pointed out there was a post-Flood Ice Age that was triggered by the Flood. In brief, conditions following the Flood would have yielded warm oceans and cool summers due to massive volcanic activity associated with the Flood, plate movements during the Flood, and mountain building at the end stages (and soon after the Flood). With fine ash hovering in the upper atmosphere and being replenished with each volcano, this reflects sunlight back to space, hence cooling the globe. Warmer oceans due to plate movements and heated rock under the oceans increased evaporation, which caused more rainfall or, in winter months, more snowfall. With cooler summers not melting the snow, it accumulates into ice—many layers of ice quickly form. Therefore, the world would have rapid growth of glaciers and ice caps.10
From a big picture, an Ice Age takes water out of the ocean and deposits it on land. This means the ocean levels would have been reduced. Both Christians and non-Christians agree that an Ice Age would reduce ocean levels significantly—to a point where land bridges open up—which is likely how many people and animals could have migrated to most continents.
But at the end of the peak of the Ice Age, water levels in the ocean began to rise as glaciers and ice caps melted. Creationists have pointed out that the peak of the Ice Age would have been in the neighborhood of about 500 years after the Flood. For example, creationist researcher Mike Oard has estimated that there was extensive melting for the next two hundred years. If Atlantis' destruction were 700 or 800 years after the Flood, it may have had something to do with the rising ocean levels. Keep in mind that an island being overtaken by rising sea levels appears identical to an island sinking!
Where Might Atlantis Have Been?
The Americas can easily be ruled out due to size, but also because Timaeus refers to a continent set beyond it. This continent is likely the Americas. Most obviously, the Americas still exist and have not sunk into the sea. In addition, the Island of Thera is within the Mediterranean Sea; so, this would be ruled out.
Perhaps the most famous report of Atlantis came from Athanasius Kircher from Subterraneus in 1669. He drew a map and placed Atlantis between Africa/Europe and the Americas. Take note that North is facing the bottom in his map:
The size of Kircher's Atlantis is much larger than Plato's description, but it is in the Atlantic Ocean. In fact, Kircher's version of Atlantis appears as large, if not larger, than Greenland. So, this may not have been as accurate as it could have been. However, the island is where the Azores now sit. And of the logical places Atlantis could have been, the remnants spoken of by Plato could be the Azores or perhaps the Canary Islands or the Madeira Islands. Plato states:
The consequence is, that in comparison of what then was, there are remaining only the bones of the wasted body, as they may be called, as in the case of small islands, all the richer and softer parts of the soil having fallen away, and the mere skeleton of the land being left.
This is, of course, assuming the mountaintops still remain to this day as islands. The Azores sit above the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where many creationists believe some of springs of the great deep burst forth (Genesis 7:11). This area was likely wrought with earthquake and volcanic activity. But would this area be an obvious impasse of mud and debris for several years for those sailing out of the Mediterranean Sea? Since it seemed rather well known that mud and debris caused a near impasse for ships, this may not be where Atlantis was. It doesn't seem as logical, since fewer ships were traveling that far into the Atlantic as opposed to the other two locations.
Madeira Island and the Canary Islands are aloft volcanoes as well, and these areas may be more apt to cause a problem with ships trying to pass if demolished so near the Straight of Gibraltar. A few potential areas are shown on the map below for the island of Atlantis.
We may never know where Atlantis existed. If it did exist, it was most likely a post-Flood island somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, not far from the Strait of Gibraltar.
Atlantis, if the accounts were reasonably accurate, would have been destroyed, leaving only much smaller islands still sitting above the Atlantic Ocean's surface. The most logical remnants would seem to be the Canary or Madeira Islands as well as other underwater islands in their vicinity that may have further been destroyed 3000 years ago or so.

- Though much has been written about Atlantis from various sources since Plato, I will focus most of this paper on the original sources; this is to keep from going into the many "bunny trails" that one could get into. Back
- A side note of history is that Socrates taught Plato, Plato taught Aristotle, Aristotle taught Alexander the Great who later conquered most of the known world at the time. This is why Greek was the popular language of the time of the New Testament, which is written in Greek. This may give you an idea of the time frame that Plato wrote. Back
- Chronos has often been identified as the biblical Kittim/Cethimus (other variants are Cyprus, Cethim, Cethima, or Citius). This leads to the possibility of these people being real, but the embellished mythology relating to them was likely the handiwork of subsequent descendants. Back
- Plato's Timaeus says: "Many great and wonderful deeds are recorded of your state in our histories. But one of them exceeds all the rest in greatness and valour. For these histories tell of a mighty power which unprovoked made an expedition against the whole of Europe and Asia, and to which your city put an end. This power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean, for in those days the Atlantic was navigable; and there was an island situated in front of the straits which are by you called the Pillars of Heracles; the island was larger than Libya and Asia put together, and was the way to other islands, and from these you might pass to the whole of the opposite continent which surrounded the true ocean; for this sea which is within the Straits of Heracles is only a harbour, having a narrow entrance, but that other is a real sea, and the surrounding land may be most truly called a boundless continent. Now in this island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire which had rule over the whole island and several others, and over parts of the continent, and, furthermore, the men of Atlantis had subjected the parts of Libya within the columns of Heracles as far as Egypt, and of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia. This vast power, gathered into one, endeavoured to subdue at a blow our country and yours and the whole of the region within the straits; and then, Solon, your country shone forth, in the excellence of her virtue and strength, among all mankind. She was pre-eminent in courage and military skill, and was the leader of the Hellenes. And when the rest fell off from her, being compelled to stand alone, after having undergone the very extremity of danger, she defeated and triumphed over the invaders, and preserved from slavery those who were not yet subjugated, and generously liberated all the rest of us who dwell within the pillars. But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea. For which reason the sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable, because there is a shoal of mud in the way; and this was caused by the subsidence of the island." Much of Critias is a description of the island and its inner politics. Back
- It makes sense that many early ancestors on the earth after the Flood were raised up to "godlike" status because they outlived great, great grandsons. For example, Noah outlived great, great, great grandson Peleg. Back

- If an island the size of Nebraska did burst with volcanic explosions that were able to destroy it and cause it to sink, one would think it surely left some marks. One can't help but notice that one of the plagues on Egypt was a thick darkness for three days during the time of Moses. This is the sort of thing that ash would do downwind if an island that size blew up. Interestingly, down wind runs over Egypt today—perhaps God utilized a miracle of timing and directed the ash to cover the Egyptians with darkness and not the Israelites (Exodus 10:22–23). If Atlantis were just in the Atlantic Ocean from the Mediterranean Sea, was this the time when it was destroyed? We simply do not know, but it is within the timeframe of when it could have blown up. Though again this would merely be speculation. Back

I have done the first step by sealing the drywall using Cloverdale Paints Latex Hi Hide Drywall Sealer for drywall or masonry. Now I need to lightly sand before starting the top coats.
After sanding do I need to tack cloth the walls or just blow them off using compressed air?
Do I sand between the 2nd and 3rd (last) coat?
Once you have done the final sanding on drywall, I don't understand why any furthere sanding is necessary. Did the instructions on your primer say to sand? You do not need to sand between topcoats. And why do you need two coats of topcoat? Most good wall paints will cover properly in one coat if you do it correctly.
As far as dust, any time you do sand, you must remove the dust before painting. Blowing with compressed air just spreads it around.

16 Red Dresses For Valentine's Day
L'amour. Love. Amor. حُب. Rakkaus. Amore. любовь.
As it is often said, love is the universal language, the language that transcends all boundaries.
And here all of this time I thought it was fashion that transcends all boundaries.
Thankfully, on Valentine's Day, we can combine the two and really start speaking in tongues.
Of course, I know that Valentine's Day often brings stress to some - what to wear, how to wear it, and so on. As a grown woman, I find my worries and concerns are only slightly different than they have been since I was a teenager - and by that I mean thoughts like "does this make my butt look big?" or "I think this strapless dress makes me look like an NFL linebacker, what do you think?"
Naturally, these are questions that my fiancé handles with considerable aplomb, as he has become an old pro at the art of reassurance. Of course, I know that he has no feasible option except to look at me with loving eyes and declare that even in a burlap sack, I would be the sexiest woman in the room. Which he does, of course, without fail.
Down girls, he's taken.
While it's a nice thought, none of us are going to be caught dead in a burlap sack, so it's off to the stores we go, combing through racks of dresses looking for the perfect red dress for our date night. The thing I have come to realize with considerable clarity is that not every dress is cut for every woman, and so the one red dress on the rack is not going to look good on us all, even if we are a perfect size 6.
So, with that, I bring you sixteen different red dresses that you can consider for your hot Valentine's Day date that will have you looking like the sexy vixen that you are. Prepare to turn heads!
Strapless dresses are still something that I am personally unsure of (see NFL Linebacker, above) but it's a look that I think is incredibly sexy and flattering on most women. Bare your shoulders and watch him shiver in delight. In fact, you might be disappointed at how quickly the date itself ends - your dress may be on the floor before you know it.
While I may not be in love with strapless, I am pretty comfortable rockin' the one-shoulder look - and you should too. Not only is it incredibly stylish, but this style looks great on almost any woman. Between the cut and the bold red color, you will feel like the most powerful woman in the room. I'm drooling over the second one - if I could find it fast enough I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Maybe you're not a fan of your arms, or it's just too darn cold in your neck of the woods to even dream about a strapless or sleeveless dress. Don't worry, there are still lots of very sexy options for you. Check out these hot dresses with sleeves - the one all the way to the left with the flowy sleeves and belt is by far my fave.
Naturally, the best way to play up (or create) a tiny waistline is to choose a dress with a belt. If you aren't comfortable with a more tightly fitting dress on the bottom, then choose one like the second and third ones shown here with a flowy skirt but fitted top and belted waist. You will feel very 50's chic and womanly, which is always a plus on the most romantic night of the year!
Which dress is your favorite? Will you be wearing red this Valentine's Day?

How do you know if an idea is worth pursuing?
This is a general question, but I will give a specific example.
Not to long ago, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and put an idea for an app, (a game based on doodling), out into the world. I put my idea on a brand new crowdfunding site specifically designed to help raise funds for the development of applications.
I got a good start, but as the time ran down I realized I was coming up short. Unfortunately, my idea was not chosen for development.
The fact that my app didn't make it could have been a combination of things, my network was not big enough, the crowdfunding platform was to new, I may have not leveraged social media effectively enough, or the idea was just simply not good enough.
So my question is, how do I know if I should try to pursue this idea? How does one know when it is a good idea to pursue any idea? Many fail several times before they succeed, but how do they know it is worth trying again?
I look forward to hearing the comunities thoughts on this.

Dr. Parker indicated no relevant conflicts of interest.
Cavazzana-Calvo M, Payen E, Negre O, et al. Transfusion independence and HMGA2 activation after gene therapy of human β-thalassaemia. Nature. 2010;467:318-322.
There is no trouble generating enthusiasm for treatment of β-thalassemia using gene therapy. The molecular basis of the disease is understood in great detail as is the structure and function of the normal gene, and β-hemoglobinopathies are the most prevalent inherited diseases, affecting millions worldwide. But a number of daunting technical obstacles, including the requirement for massive hemoglobin production in a lineage-specific manner and the lack of selective advantage for corrected hematopoietic stems cells, have restrained progress in the field. Now a multi-national group of investigators, led by Philippe Leboulch, has reported the first successful gene therapy for the disease in an 18-year-old male patient with transfusion-dependent βE/β0-thalassemia (the most common form of severe thalassemia in South East Asia). The patient's CD34+ bone marrow cells were transduced ex vivo with a lentiviral vector construct that incorporated the β-globin locus control region and the β-globin gene (Figure). After conditioning with busulfan, he was transplanted with the gene-modified cells, and hematopoietic reconstitution was uneventful. After 33 months, he remains transfusion-independent with hemoglobin concentrations in the range of 9-10 g/dL. But the success of the procedure came with a twist as characterization of the chromosomal integration site of the vector indicated that most of the therapeutic benefit resulted from expansion of a stem/progenitor cell clone in which the integrated vector caused ectopic expression of the architectural transcription factor HMGA2 (Figure). While both granulocytes/monocytes and erythroblasts were HMGA2 integration-site positive (HMGA2 IS+), HMGA2 expression was observed only in erythroblasts, demonstrating that the HMGA2 IS+ cells were descendants of a primitive hematopoietic cell, but only the erythroid progeny expressed the chimeric gene. This latter finding is consistent with the erythroid-specific nature of the lentiviral vector construct (Figure).
This paper is important as proof-of-principle that a disease of β-globin can be treated successfully with gene therapy, thereby providing an approach to management of both β-thalassemias and sickle cell disease. It also provides unanticipated insight into how the lack of a selective advantage for transduced cells can be overcome. In this case, the growth advantage derives from integration of the vector into the HMGA2 locus resulting in erythroid-specific expression of a chimeric protein that putatively preserves the functional activity of HMGA2 (Figure). Nature has experimented with HMGA2 in a number of interesting settings. Ectopic expression of HMGA2 as a consequence of chromosomal translocation underlies a variety of benign mesenchymal tumors, and aberrant expression due to gene rearrangement was reported to account for clonal expansion of hematopoiesis in two patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria,1 one of whom has been followed for 17 years without evidence of leukemic transformation. These observations support the concept of benign clonal hematopoiesis and suggest that ectopic expression of genes that provide a growth/survival advantage may be exploited for therapeutic purposes without risk of malignant transformation. It will thus be of great interest to identify the gene targets of HMGA2 and to determine mechanisms by which HMGA2 can be activated without gene disruption. As the saga unfolds, expect Mother Nature to keep things lively with a few more tantalizing twists, just the way we like it.

A statue of Martin Luther, the Protestant leader.
oday, speakers of English take for granted many phrases from the King James Bible -- from "let there be light" to the word "scapegoat" -- that were the work of an intrepid 16th-century translator who met not with acclaim but with years of exile, and eventually lost his life.
But this translator, William Tyndale -- who was burned at the stake on October 6, 1536 -- was no lone renegade. Rather, he was a pivotal transitional figure, his work a step toward bringing direct experience of the Bible to a reading public.
The film BATTLE FOR THE BIBLE explores the lives and lasting influence of three major figures in the translation and propagation of the English Bible: the 14th-century theologian, politician, and reformer John Wycliffe; Tyndale; and Thomas Cranmer, the Archbishop of Canterbury under Henry VIII and advisor to the king through the period that saw the split with Rome and the creation of the Anglican Church.
The translation of the Bible into the vulgar -- the language of everyday people -- was a key element in the series of reforms within the Catholic Church that eventually resulted in what we know as the Protestant Reformation.
In the 14th century, the Roman Catholic Church was Western Europe's undisputed religious authority; and its central rituals -- the Mass and Communion -- the only legitimate pathway to salvation. The pope and the clergy held enormous power, and secular authorities looked to the Church for legitimation. Key to the Church's power was the fact that its rituals were conducted in Latin, a language inaccessible to the uneducated faithful. The public was completely dependent on the priesthood for access to salvation -- only through mysterious rituals conducted in an unfamiliar tongue could they conduct their spiritual lives.
John Wycliffe, born around 1320, was a prominent theologian at Oxford University and a leading ecclesiastical politician in the dark period of English history following the decimation of Europe's population by the Black Plague. He became convinced through his own scholarship that Scripture itself, rather than the Mass, should be seen as the source of Christian authority.
Wycliffe's notion that the Bible should be translated into the common tongue for the edification of all believers was a radical innovation, and one that spawned a movement. Working outside of the Church, translators eventually produced perhaps hundreds of so-called "Wycliffe Bibles," translated and hand-copied from the Latin. It is not clear that Wycliffe himself produced any translations into English, so they are more properly known as "Wycliffite" Bibles.
With or without Wycliffe's active involvement, the English Bible became part of an underground movement that became known as Lollardy and continued to spread after Wycliffe's death in 1384. It worried Church authorities enough that by 1407 the English translation was denounced as unauthorized, and translating or using translated Bibles was defined as heresy -- a crime for which the punishment was death by burning. In 1415 Wycliffe himself was denounced, posthumously, as a heretic. His body was exhumed and burned in 1428. Wycliffite Bibles, even after the ban, were produced in great numbers, and the 250 or so that now remain are the largest surviving body of medieval English texts. But the time was not yet right for the Bible to exist publicly in the common tongue.
William Tyndale translated the Bible while in exile.
Over the next century, however, life in England and in Europe would change radically. As the Renaissance got under way on the Continent, scholars began to rediscover Hebrew and Greek, the original languages of Scripture, and their work would spark a new series of translations even as the propagation of the printing press made possible the mass-production of books.
Perhaps the most influential publication of the early 16th century was the Dutch theologian Desiderius Erasmus's 1515 edition of the Greek New Testament, which included a new Latin translation. The translation -- which was printed and circulated widely among educated Christians across Europe -- made possible Martin Luther's 1522 publication of a new translation into German, which became perhaps the key text in the Reformation.
In England, William Tyndale, who was Luther's contemporary, set about creating an authoritative English translation of the Bible from the original texts. Tyndale worked in a harsher political environment than Luther faced on the Continent (the German authorities did not censure the reformers, while Tyndale clashed with and was reprimanded by English Catholic leaders) and eventually left England for Europe, most likely Germany, in 1524 in order to continue his work.
The version of the Bible that Tyndale completed in exile became one of the most influential works of literature in the English language, full of phrases that entered the popular lexicon and defined what we know as the voice of the scriptures. His translation was at once a major work of creative poetry and a radical reinterpretation of the sacred texts, challenging by interpretation the authority of the Catholic hierarchy, redefining "priests" as "elders" and the "Church" as a "congregation."
In 1526 Tyndale published his New Testament in a portable edition. First published in Cologne and Worms, and eventually smuggled into England in large numbers from Antwerp (where Tyndale found refuge during the late 1520s), it became a best-seller, popularized by itinerant preachers who recited Tyndale's words despite the fact that they risked burning at the stake.
Puritans who were not satisfied with the Anglican Church left England and settled in the American colonies, bringing with them the King James version of the Bible.
In 1535, the authorities finally caught up with Tyndale; he was imprisoned for more than a year in Brussels before being burned at the stake (given his popularity, he was mercifully strangled before the flames were lit). His words had taken root in England, but it would take a political upheaval to bring the Bible to the English people.
Ironically enough, that transformation came even as Tyndale languished in prison. In 1534, Henry VIII, without male heirs and unable to obtain a divorce from the pope so as to marry again, finally resorted to the bold step of assuming control of the English Church. Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury at the time, became the architect of the new church doctrine - and, heavily influenced by Luther, he envisioned a very different English Church, which would include some of the ideas pioneered by the German Reformation.
For Cranmer, distribution of an English Bible was key to establishing a reformist church in his country. He issued an English Bible, printed in Antwerp -- though known popularly as the "Matthew Bible," it combined Tyndale's New Testament with elements of an Old Testament translation done by Myles Coverdale -- and followed that with an official English Bible and, under Edward VI's reign, an English liturgy, the Book of Common Prayer.
The birth of the English church was not easy. A period of religious conflict ensued, and the church that began to emerge, though it included English-language texts, preserved the hierarchy of the Catholic Church -- it remained an episcopal church, administered by bishops.
In fact, Catholics came back to power under Edward's sister Mary, and in 1556, Cranmer, like Tyndale before him, was burned at the stake. But as England swung between Catholicism and Anglicanism, the idea of a Bible in the common tongue had taken hold. It flourished in multiple versions. The Geneva Bible (the choice of the growing Puritan movement, which sought a return to a purist, poor church modeled after that of the time of Christ), the Doway Catholic English Bible, and the official Anglican Bishop's Bible fought for the minds and spirits of English citizens.
King James of Scotland, who came to power in 1603, called the Hampton Court Conference in order to work out a compromise with English Puritans and to unite the feuding religious factions. The outcome was the commissioning of a new authorized version of the Bible (published in 1611) that would satisfy all parties; the version became known as the King James Bible. Much of the language used hearkens back to Tyndale's translation. This new Bible made Tyndale's words central to Protestantism in the English-speaking world thereafter.
Those Puritans who were not satisfied with the compromise (they accepted the new translation, but could not accept the structure of the Anglican Church) left England, settling in the American colonies but bringing with them the King James version of the Bible. Its language -- and with it the words and ideas of Wycliffe, Tyndale, Cranmer, and the other pioneering translators of Scripture -- would be woven into the fabric of the new nation.

Just a short note that as already announced last week the second part of the post on how to control Dynamic Sampling activity has been published on AllThingsOracle.com.
You can read there about the (not so much known) DYNAMIC_SAMPLING_EST_CDN hint, the new Dynamic Sampling auto adjustment feature introduced in release 11.2 and other interesting details.
This is just a short note that the next part of my Dynamic Sampling series has been posted on AllThingsOracle.com
This time I highlight how to configure Dynamic Sampling - the first part focusing on the available session/statement levels. The next part will be posted soon and explains some other important concepts regarding Dynamic Sampling behaviour.
Unfortunately these topics are not covered very well by the official documentation. In fact the best coverage used to be in the documentation of the initial release that included Dynamic Sampling (9iR2). You can find the link to that old documentation version in the article over there.
This is just a short notice that the second part of the introduction to Dynamic Sampling has been posted on AllThingsOracle.com.

Based on Paul Torday's book, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is the story of a rather overweight middle aged man who finds a new lease of life in Yemen. Scot Ewan McGregor was, therefore, an odd choice for the lead. However, with a little help from a rather frigid Morningside accent (Edinburgh), McGregor manages to give his character, Fred just the right amount of uptightness to carry off the role.
Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is a tough sell, nevertheless, but don't let the title put you off. The theme of the film is of making possible the impossible, and apart from the Salmon, this is also a love story between a fish mad civil servant, a dashing soldier and a rather attractive PR lady (Emily Blunt).
With superb performances all round, especially from Egyptian actor, Amr Waked, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is well worth watching.

The average wOBA for a CF in 2012 was .323.
The Cubs had 5 players with over twenty starts at CF last year. 5! For some reason, I didn't include Joe Mather or Reed Johnson in this (who cares, really), and added Marlon Byrd because why not. He was terrible, and also on some sort of performance enhancing drug. One has to think what type of performance it was enhancing, because Byrdo was straight terrible last year. He's out of baseball, most likely. The starter at CF this year (and he logged the most starts on the Cubs at CF last year too; he was there most likely starter in both center AND right) is likely David DeJesus. He doesn't pass the eye test, defensively, but his "defensive metrics" point to an average-ish effort in any part of the outfield. He'll be a slightly-above average offering in center if he can hack it there, and should turn a nice profit at the trade deadline when the Cubs sell him off. I like DeJesus a lot, and he walked over 10% of the time last year, the first of his career. Tony Campana was seriously not good at baseball. He can't field even with his 80 speed, he has less power than you (and I mean you, dear reader) do on your beer league softball team, and he has poor plate discipline. That said, he has value as a pinch-runner on a team with a really good 4th OF. That isn't the Diamondbacks, but w/e. We got live humans for him, so I'm happy. I would have accepted dead humans, honestly. Brett Jackson has a retooled swing. Unless it cuts his strikeouts in half, I'm not terribly interested. That being said, there's still a place on the Cubs for a high-walk, high-strikeout, moderate-power CF that is a plus defensively. That's what Jackson could be without too much dreaming. If he could get his K's to just Adam Dunn levels (he's 7% away!), his line goes from .171/.303/.342 to like .200/.330/.370. On second thought, maybe he's got to get them lower than that….
No one. Seriously. The way it worked out, Jackson got to the majors, Campana got sent to Arizona, and Dave Sappelt was profiled in LF. Jim Adduci is gone, and Jeff Frazier played 1 game at CF for the ICubs last year. This is the first and last time you'll ever hear the collection a syllables coalesce as "Jeff Frazier" for the rest of your life.
Jae-Hoon Ha is interesting, in a sense. He was thought of as a toolsy "developmental" prospect who never really developed…until last year. In 200 more PA than any other year, his walk rate went from 4.5% (his previous high, comically) to 9.5%. His ISO stayed the same, and his BABIP was relatively normal, but the result was a .273/.352/.385 line in AA at 21. Putting that into perspective, he's younger than Szczur is, but last year he performed well at a level Szczur barely reached (and struggled at). For good measure, he also walked at a higher rate than Szczur at AA. That's slightly disingenous considering Matt's track record and SSS at AA (158 PA), but if Szczur is a legit prospect (and I don't think he is) than Ha is at that level or better. Speaking of, Matt Szczur, the shine has rubbed off quite a bit. It's hard to get jazzed about a guy who is prospect-old at each level he gets to (and who doesn't completely dominate those leagues). He's got 10 pounds to grow into, and maybe that'll give him some power, but he needs to move up the ladder pretty fast if he wants to be thought of highly. Rubi Silva is a baseball player.
Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate.
Also, there are no prospects at A+ because they either moved to AA or are Elieser Bonne (so, no.)
Taiwan Easterling was one of the oldest players on his team last year, but he still couldn't hack league-average. He's still young to the system (college senior; he was actually drafted in the 6th round in 2007), but his frame isn't projectable and he's been nothing but overwhelmed so far. His time is short.
Darien "Trey" Martin angered me when I couldn't find him in fangraphs. He's been a nice little player so far. He did OK last year (crushed rookie league, was ok-ish at A-), though plate discipline is already a minor concern. Martin has a nice frame and can grow into some power (and out of center, possibly) and will still be 20 this year. He'd start at A if it wasn't for Albert Almora, who did everything he was supposed to last year. At 145 PA, I'm not going crazy for anything just yet, but he did very well in his first taste of professionals. Sure, his walk rate was incredibly bad. However, look at his K rate too; he wasn't overmatched, he was just too good for the league. He made contact with everything he swung at, and that contact was for the most part loud. Almora is plenty far away but could climb the ladder quickly until he reaches a level that he has to work at.
I am a happy camper so I guess I'm doing something right. Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you; but, if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.
Albert Almora was here.
There's definitely some talent here. The Cubs have one potential superstar in Almora, and 3 people or so with a shot at contributing in the majors (Jackson, Ha, Szczur). Let's hope Jackson can take over for DeJesus after he's traded, because CF are pretty damn expensive.
Projected Rosters:
MLB: DeJesus
AAA: Jackson/Ha
AA: Szczur/Silva
A+: Easterling
A: Almora
A-: Martin
