The base audio was a live performance of "Tin Pan Alley" by Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble from the Blues at Sunrise album All images created by Breezy Kiefair. cameos in the art by; Steve Elliott of Toke Signals, Sonia Guerrero, and Pebbles Trippet all set to a breezy audio altered version of Stevie Ray Vaughan's "tin Pan alley" dedicated to the low income cannabis patient on the occasion of the first recreational cannabis commercial shops opening in Colorado. I will let each individual interpret the art themselves.
Dedicated to the low income cannabis patient left toking through tin pan Alley.
"Tin Pan Alley (aka Roughest Place in Town)" is track #23 on the album Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan. It was written by Bob Geddins.
Tin Pan Alley (aka Roughest Place in Town)
Went down to Tin Pan Alley
See what was goin' on
Things was too hot down there
Couldn't stay very long
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the peoples down there
Lord, they are livin' for their whisky, wine and gin
She get up in the mornin'
Before the break a day
Before she can wash her face and hand
You know she really did go away
Hey, hey, hey, you tell
What kinda place can this here Alley be?
Well now, every women I get here
Every women I get to know
This Alley takes her away from me
I heard a pistol shoot
Yeah, and it was a .44
Somebody killed a crap shooter
'Cause he didn't shake, rattle and roll
Hey, hey, hey, hey
What kinda place can a Alley be?
All those people down there
Lord, they are livin' for their whisky, wine and gin
I heard a woman scream
Yeah, and I peeked through the door
Some cat was workin' on Annie with a
Lord, Lord with a two by four
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Alley's the roughest place, I've ever been
All the people down there
Lord, they are killin' for their whisky, wine and gin
I saw a cop standing there
With hand on his gun
Said this is a raid boy now
Run, run, nobody run
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Alley's the roughest place, I've ever been
Yeah, they took me away from Alley
Lord, they took me right back to the pen

Hinds' Feet on High Places is an allegorical novel by English author Hannah Hurnard. Hinds' Feet was written in 1955 and has become a very successful work of Christian fiction, seeing new editions published as recently as July, 2005.
Plot introduction[edit]
It is the story of a young woman named Much Afraid, and her journey away from her Fearing family and into the High Places of the Shepherd, guided by her two companions Sorrow and Suffering. It is an allegory of a Christian devotional life from salvation through maturity. It aims to show how a Christian is transformed from unbeliever to immature believer to mature believer, who walks daily with God as easily on the High Places of Joy in the spirit as in the daily life of mundane and often humiliating tasks that may cause Christians to lose perspective.
The book takes its title from Habakkuk 3:19, "The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places."
The story begins in the Valley of Humiliation with Much Afraid, being beset by the unwanted advances of her cousin, Craven Fear, who wishes to marry her. The Family of Fearings seems to have some strong similarities to the Addams Family. Much Afraid is ugly from all outward appearances, walking on club feet, sporting gnarled, deformed hands, and speaking from a crooked mouth that seems to have been made so by a stroke or the like.
The Good Shepherd is tender and gentle with Much Afraid, especially in the beginning. However, His many sudden departures may strike the reader as bizarre, given the human penchant to expect kindly souls to never do everything that may be interpreted as rude or as hurtful in any way. Yet, though the Shepherd leaves in a moment, He returns the same way at the first furtive cry of the forlorn little protagonist. "Come, Shepherd, for I am much afraid!"
When Much Afraid intimates that she would love to be able to dance upon the high places as do the surefooted deer, the Shepherd commends her for this desire. In order to accomplish this, he offers to "plant the seed of love" into her heart. At first sight of the long, black hawthorne-looking seed, she shrieks in fear. Soon, she relents, and after the initial intense pain, she senses that something is indeed different in her, though she still looks the same, for now.
Just when the reader thinks that Much Afraid is about to reach the High Places, the path turns downward towards a seemingly endless desert. There is incident with an extremely high cliff that must be ascended by a steep, slippery and very narrow zig-zagging track, with the help of her two companions, Sorrow and Suffering. Then days are spent in a forest that is shrouded in a thick cloud of fog. During this time Much Afraid is sequestered with her two friends in a log cabin. The climax is an unexpected twist that comes as Much Afraid despairs of ever reaching the High Places.
Allusions/references to other works[edit|edit source]
The book bears some stylistic similarities to John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress. The name of the protagonist, Much-Afraid, also appears first in Bunyan's work.

3.5 Grams Grunk $40
Discount $7
total with tax $57.45
Chem Dawg Caviar the member price listed for this top shelf med was $12 per gram. The Member price per 1/8 oz of flowers was listed as $35. Since it was my first time in, I was offered member pricing which I clearly did not get as evidenced by the receipt. I'll give the Chem Dawg Caviar a 10 of 10 medicinal leaves. It was everything I expected from a top shelf medication. The Grunk I will give a rating of 6 of 10 leaves, it was adequate, but nothing special. There was a nice feel to this dispensary, with autographed photos of all sorts of famous people hanging on the walls of both the waiting room and bud-room. I was of course flattered when I mentioned Kiefair.com and one of the bud-tends knew of my work. Had there not been a discrepancy of member prices they promised and actual prices paid on the receipt I might have been happy to sign this dispensary as my caregiver. They are located within the town where I live, and the convenience factor is a strong draw. The medication was adequate, but it's my feeling if they will fudge a price the first time I am in the door, then maybe they should just be a dispensary I frequent for a bit of hold over medicine on occasion.

The Environment inside Green Tree Medicinals Was open, spacious and inviting. The bud-room was large, open, and well staffed. The budtends were friendly and knowledgeable. I was able to pass on a tip to them about a product that will likely help their patients. The joints were low cost, and also low potency. One can't really complain when the joints are nearly a gram in weight and only $3.50 each. The Kandy Kush was a very nice medication that I will rate at 9 of 10 medicinal leaves. I may have been happy to sign this dispensary as my caregiver but for the distance needed to be traveled each time I needed some medication.

A Post Before heading into the Louisville stores:
i'm thinking of grabbing some patron paid for pain meds from a dispensary in Louisville, Colorado… what say you… shall it be Alter Meds or Compassionate Pain Management ? I am still looking for a new caregiver and I have 18 plants that someone can grow for me.
In the end, i decided to try both…. I knew I was going to be making the caregiver decision very soon. i also plan to write a review of the 4 dispensaries i tested as I made my decision…. also gonna try to get caught up on some older reviews too….

1 Gram Mountain Gold $14
price with tax $15.18
I'm going to give the Mountain Gold strain from Altermeds a 10 of 10 medicinal leaves. The waiting room and bud-room of Altermeds was professional, spacious and inviting. The male bud-tends were friendly and knowledgeable. I was not impressed with the variety of their selection, although perhaps I was just in on a day when they were waiting on new arrivals. All the meds I looked at appeared to be of high quality and medicine I would have been happy to bring home. I may have signed this dispensary as my caregiver but for it's proximity to the dispensary that I did end up signing as my caregiver. I am sure I will be back into Altermeds sometime soon if I want a little change in my medication. They are within one block of my new caregiver, so I am sure just based on me being in the area those boys will be seeing me again.

Altermeds gave me a sample bag of "Gaia"s Garden Canna Fish Candies" Now as you can imagine, I expected something more like Sweedish Fish candy. These were hard candies with a decent flavor except the food coloring was evident in the flavor of the candy. I would agree that they are about 10mg of active cannabinoid compounds per fish. I'm glad these were a sample because the chemical taste of the food coloring would have made me angry if I had paid for the product. Over all, I give it a 4 of 10 medical leaves. The medication is there (low potency for a person like me), the quality of flavor I bet is awesome in a candy with no food coloring or dye. This is a product containing corn syrup, so if you are someone who avoids those kinds of things, avoid this prdouct. This product says it is made with phoenix tears… i wonder if someone has spoken to them about using that "trademarked" name on their packaging.

Medicine Socks Thanks for the review. I like the idea of medicinal edibles, but the way my bod responds to such "treats" I have to be careful to go easy on the things I get reactions to. So, sigh, I avoid corn syrup based candies with dyes in them, but every time someone comes up with a medical edible like that, that I wouldn't eat unless I wanted to feel worse, I think about how to make something similar with all good for you ingredients. I may not be able to taste the chemicals I'm sensitive to per se, but I sure do experience their effects.Friday at 7:22am · Unlike · 1

The waiting room and bud-rooms at CPM are inviting. There are individual bud rooms with chairs for patient comfort. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.

I will give the Chocolate Chunk an 8 of 10 medicinal leaves, the Sensi Star is a perennial favorite of mine no matter the grower, and I will give it a 9 of 10 medicinal leaves. The Purple Kush has a very nice flavor and gets a 9 of 10 medicinal leaves as well. I was also given samples of a medicinal salve and some pills from The Growing Kitchen. On another visit on 4/4/13 I also picked up some of their Bubble Hash Concentrates. I will give their Mazar bubble hash a 10 of 10 medicinal Leaves and I will also award 10 of 10 medicinal leaves to their Sour Diesel Bubble Hash.

Impressions of the Dixie Line of Products:
Dixie Elixirs overall 6 of 10 Medical Leaves
The Dixie Elixirs are pleasantly tasting and on par in potency with products such as Keef Cola that I have tried before. I must say that another soda brand I reviewed at the same time, Marqhaha (Orange Crush Creamsicle flavor) packed more medicine on the label and more medicinal effects than any of the flavors of Dixie Elixirs that I tried (Old Fashioned Sarsaparilla, Sparkling Blueberry, and Sparkling Mandarin). I would also like to add that there is a slight aftertaste that is artificial that isn't extreme but is a little unpleasant to me. The initial flavor of each drink was very nice and married well with the hash flavor. Overall impression of the soda? It likely is very marketable to the recreational community that does not expect so much potency from a product. I think there are many who will want to drink this and be seen drinking this, but it just does not have enough medicine in it for a patient like me. 6 of 10 medical leaves. serving size 12 fluid ounces, calories 160, Carbohydrate (from sugar) 40g
Old Fashioned Sarsaparilla (my favorite of the flavors)
Dixie Elixirs Old-Fashioned Sarsaparilla. So far it is the tastiest of all the colas I have been trying. The flavor marries well with the hash and it is really pleasant to drink. Still something artificial in the aftertaste (and listed on the label.).
Ingredients: Carbonated filtered water, sugar, citric acid, natural and artificial flavor, caramel color, THC oil 100mg
Sparkling Blueberry
The blueberry soda is pleasant. Still got that artificial aftertaste I'm not digging from this company….But again the taste is relatively pleasant. Hash can be tasted and marries fairly well with the blueberry flavor.
Ingredients: Carbonated filtered water, sugar, citric acid, natural and artificial flavor, red 40, blue 1, THC oil 100mg
Sparkling Mandarin
Most aftertaste of the group.
Ingredients: Carbonated filtered water, sugar, citric acid, natural and artificial flavor, glycerol ester of wood rosin, yellow 6, red 40, THC oil 100mg
Dixie Scripts overall 6 of 10 medicinal leaves
These capsules are likely a godsend for someone who has a low tolerance level. For someone who takes a lot of cannabis in a lot of forms, they just seem to lack potency. I found myself reaching for my phoenix tears hash oil to fill the pain gap.

this is what the dixie elixirs website says about the drink:
While the sarsaparilla root has been used by healers for ages to treat joint pain and inflammation it is better known today as the key ingredient in a great tasting soda. Dixie Elixirs™ Old-Fashioned Sarsaparilla delivers your medicine in a comforting old-timey soda.

Train Wreck GENETICS 10 of 10 medical leaves
For me, I always notice the neurological pain relief effects more than anything with this strain. So much so that in my early education about this strain, I always thought it was an indica. There is a rare offshoot of this strain called PaneWreck (Afghani Kush x Trainwreck) that is even more effective for me, but it can be very difficult to find. This sample of Train Wreck was just as it should be. It was full of crystals
Stimulant and creative at first, intense and very stoned after a few minutes, very long-lasting.
Medicinally effective in pain therapy.

Luca Brasi From The Clinic on Colfax (anticipation)
10 of 10 medical leaves
Wish i could share some of this with fellow reviewer from the Toke of the Town Website Steve Elliott!!!
this strain tastes amazing! very spicy and nearly tongue numbing in a good way. feeling effects of combined high cbd and thc levels…
10 of 10 Medicinal Leaves Awarded.
Luca Brasi — 8.44 percent CBD, 10.93 percent THC
The Clinic hasn't had the cut of Bubba Kush that took home the CBD award at the High Times Medical Cannabis Cup last April on its shelves for some time — but this Luca Brasi is the next best thing. A cross of that award-winning, 12.35 percent CBD Bubba Kush cut and Corleone OG Kush, back-crossed with the Bubba Kush, brought this powerhouse of a CBD cut to the table. Coming in at 8.44 percent CBD and 10.93 THC, this is one of the most equally balanced and overall potent cuts around town. A very strong, rubbery kush scent cut with an underlying organic-soil earthiness left my hands smelling like I'd been digging in the garden all day. The taste matched the smell perfectly, making it a pleasant puff as well as potent medication. Much more uplifting and buzzy due to the higher THC content, the strain was good for numbing the pain without knocking me down for the count. Actually, the herb had me feeling uplifted and active even after a big bowl, without any tension or anxiety, thanks to the decent THC levels. It was also good at calming nerve pain in my stomach and easing cramping after a less-than-quality street-taco session. Clinic staffers promise that the award-winning Bubba Kush will be back, but in the meantime, this is a perfectly suitable alternative. ref: http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2011/10/medical_marijuana_cbd_tops_strains.php?page=3
Indica, AAA, 41-50, Body High, Cerebral, Strong, Long, Luca Brasi (Indica)
Check out this fun strain from The Clinic on Colfax.
Submitted By: anticipation (Member and Editor)
Camera Used: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290
Name: Luca Brasi
Genetics: Pre-98 Bubba Kush (CBD Pheno) X Corleone OG Kush
From: The Clinic on Colfax (Dispensary – Denver)
Grade: A+
Type: Indica
Price: $45/8th
Looks: Gorgeous chunky nugs that are frosted from end to end. Darker green calyx's and distinctly ochre hairs give these nugs a great indica look.
Smell: I smelled kalamata olives, old pizza, and the classic kush scent in these nugs. The jar I kept them in didn't stand a chance when it came to smell reduction, and I stunk up everything with these buds in my pocket.
Taste: Like kush, and you know that taste means a thick buzz is quick to follow. These hits gave me cotton mouth unlike anything I've ever smoked before though, so be forewarned and prepare your beverages accordingly.
Buzz Type: Super stoned and dumbing down effects. Not much to do but sit and enjoy the body high after a few bowls of this.
Buzz Length: Long. 2 hours.
Overall: Great pick up from the Clinic, a different kind of smoke and a really unprecedented smell in bud. I was told this strain is known for its high CBD content. It's an acquired taste, but once you get hooked you're a fan for life. Recommended for medical patients who need intense pain relief and enjoy heavy body highs. –anticipation
What's with the name? Luca Brasi is a fictional character in Mario Puzo's novel, The Godfather. –DankDiva

SAGE: Sativa Afghani Genetic Equilibrium
10 of 10 Medicinal Leaves awarded
SAGE is another one of my favorite strains…. While it is a hybrid and often I find the effects of hybrids to be a bit muddled, this strain has a strong pain relieving indica side and a strongly uplifting sativa side. another 10 of 10 leaves awarded.
dispensary where purchased:
medible company:
SAGE stands for Sativa Afghani Genetic Equilibrium, but also describes the aroma of this interesting hybrid. SAGE's mother is a native Californian called Big Sur Holy, a sativa with a long finishing time but strong mold and bug resistance. She is combined here with a chunky Afghani indica selected for its extreme characteristics – hardiness, tight internodal structure, and fast finishing time – and grown from seed for cross breeding.
The vigorous growth, elegant leaves, straight growth pattern, and hefty weight of the Afghani balance with the pleasant, mentally aler and thoughtful sativa high, which continues to be satisfying with repeated use. A fulfilling equilibrium of the paternal lines, this plant deals well with challenging conditions, and will usually be the last plant standing in a stressed garden. SAGE holds her color and resist mite infestation.The SAGE flavor is "old-school", reminiscent of the days when Columbian and Thai stick were still primo. The aroma is like the wild sage native to the sativa mama's California homeland. This fresh smell is also a factor for the stealth grower – the odor doesn't really give away its source. Even without charcoal filters, trained noses may not recognize the scent as weed.SAGE responds well to topping and is also amenable to the bend technique because the branches hold the rubbery quality of the Afghani papa. This plant likes to grow large, so it works great in beds as a larger plant but is too wily for a sea of green method. Hash made from this variety won first place ion the 1999 Cannabis Cup and scientific analysis by an unaffiliated testing facility reported that SAGE's THC content is over 20 percent, ranking in the top 3 varieties tested.

Familial Mediterranean Fever ~ a Rare genetic disease
I do not look like I have a single drop of Mediterranean blood in me, so why do i care about this rare genetic disorder? Because the color of skin is only skin deep. Because despite the pale appearance of my exterior, I have the genetic ancestor from that part of the world who handed me this recessive trait. Because I have this disease and have to live with it…
I care because I need to repost the links as many times as possible in hopes that those related to me by blood will heed my warning and look for signs of the disorder in the kids…. I have made no secret of the fact that I am far estranged from my biological family, so I turn to electronic means to spread the word.
There is no cure, but the treatment does help….. There is no cure, but knowledge that there is indeed something wrong and that I am not a hypochondriac is soothing to the mind…. There is no cure, but it sure as hell does explain a lot about both myself and my blood relatives… BOTH my parents had to have the recessive gene in order for me to have this disorder. Both my parent's sets of siblings may also be carriers of these recessive traits…. ALL of my blood siblings (half or full blooded) are POTENTIAL carriers of the defect…. Therefore, ALL of my blood nieces and nephews are potential victims of the disease as well as their children. It is my hope that those in my family will stumble upon this post and then value the family's future generations enough to spread this information to where it may be of use (i emailed it directly to those whose email addresses I possess in my bloodline)

What is familial Mediterranean fever?
Familial Mediterranean fever is an inherited condition characterized by recurrent episodes of painful inflammation in the abdomen, chest, or joints. These episodes are often accompanied by fever and sometimes a rash. The first episode usually occurs in childhood or the teenage years, but in some cases, the initial attack occurs much later in life. Typically, episodes last 12 to 72 hours and can vary in severity. The length of time between attacks is also variable. Without treatment to help prevent attacks and complications, a buildup of certain protein deposits (amyloidosis) in the body's organs and tissues may occur, which can lead to kidney failure.
How common is familial Mediterranean fever?
Familial Mediterranean fever primarily affects populations originating in the Mediterranean region, particularly people of Armenian, Arabic, Turkish, and Jewish ancestry. The disorder affects from 1 in 250 people to 1 in 1,000 people in these populations. It is less common in other populations.
What genes are related to familial Mediterranean fever?
Mutations in the MEFV gene cause familial Mediterranean fever. The MEFV gene provides instructions for making a protein called pyrin (also known as marenostrin), which is found in white blood cells. This protein is involved in the immune system, helping to regulate the process of inflammation. Inflammation occurs when the immune system sends signaling molecules and white blood cells to a site of injury or disease to fight microbial invaders and facilitate tissue repair. When this has been accomplished, the body stops the inflammatory response to prevent damage to its own cells and tissues.
Mutations in the MEFV gene reduce the activity of the pyrin protein, which disrupts control of the inflammation process. An inappropriate or prolonged inflammatory response can result, usually accompanied by fever and pain in the abdomen, chest, or joints.
Normal variations in the SAA1 gene may modify the course of familial Mediterranean fever. Some evidence suggests that a particular version of the SAA1 gene (called the alpha variant) may increase the risk of amyloidosis among people with familial Mediterranean fever.
Read more about the MEFV and SAA1 genes.
How do people inherit familial Mediterranean fever?
Familial Mediterranean fever is almost always inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means both copies of the gene in each cell have mutations. The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of the mutated gene, but they typically do not show signs and symptoms of the condition.
In rare cases, this condition appears to be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, in which one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder and affected individuals often inherit the mutation from one affected parent. However, there are other possible explanations of this apparent pattern. A gene mutation that occurs frequently in a population may result in a disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance appearing in multiple generations in a family, a pattern that mimics autosomal dominant inheritance. If one parent has familial Mediterranean fever (with two mutations in the MEFV gene) and the other parent is an unaffected carrier (with one mutation in the MEFV gene), it may appear as if the affected child inherited the disorder only from the affected parent. This appearance of autosomal dominant inheritance when the pattern is actually autosomal recessive is called pseudodominance.

Familial Mediterranean fever
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a hereditary inflammatory disorder[1]:149. FMF is an autoinflammatory disease caused by mutations in MEFV, a gene which encodes a 781–amino acid protein denoted pyrin.[2]
The disorder has been given various names including familial paroxysmal polyserositis, periodic peritonitis, recurrent polyserositis, benign paroxysmal peritonitis, periodic disease or periodic fever, Reimann periodic disease or Reimann's syndrome, Siegal-Cattan-Mamou disease, and Wolff periodic disease.[3][4][5] Note that "periodic fever" can also refer to any of thePeriodic fever syndromes.
FMF affects groups of people originating from around the Mediterranean Sea (hence its name). It is prominently present in the Armenian people, Sephardi Jews (and, to a much lesser extent, Ashkenazi Jews), Cypriots, Turks and Arabs.[6]
[edit]Signs and symptoms
There are seven types of attacks. Ninety percent of all patients have their first attacks before they are 18 years old. All develop over 2–4 hours and last anywhere from 6 hours to 4 days. Most attacks involve fever.[6]
- Abdominal attacks, featuring abdominal pain, affect the whole abdomen with all signs of peritonitis (inflammation of abdominal lining), and acute abdominal pain likeappendicitis. They occur in 95% of all patients and may lead to unnecessary laparotomy. Incomplete attacks, with local tenderness and normal blood tests, have been reported.
- Joint attacks mainly occur in large joints, especially in the legs. Usually, only one joint is affected. Seventy-five percent of all FMF patients experience joint attacks.
- Chest attacks include pleuritis (inflammation of the pleura) and pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium). Pleuritis occurs in 40% of patients, and makes it difficult to breathe or lie flat, but pericarditis is rare.
- Scrotal attacks due to inflammation of the tunica vaginalis occurs in up to 5% and may be mistaken for acute scrotum (i.e. testicular torsion).
- Myalgia (rare in isolation)
- Erysipeloid (a skin reaction on the legs, rare in isolation)
- Fever without any of the other symptoms listed above (25%)
AA-amyloidosis with renal failure is a complication and may develop without overt crises. AA amyloid protein is produced in very large quantities during attacks, and at a low rate between them, and accumulates mainly in the kidney, as well as the heart, spleen, gastrointestinal tract and thyroid.[6]
There appears to be an increase in the risk for developing particular vasculitis-related diseases (e.g. Henoch-Schönlein purpura), spondylarthropathy, prolonged arthritis of certain joints and protracted myalgia.[6]
The diagnosis is clinically made on the basis of the history of typical attacks, especially in patients from the ethnic groups in which FMF is more highly prevalent. An acute phase response is present during attacks, with high C-reactive protein levels, an elevated white blood cell count and other markers of inflammation. In patients with a long history of attacks, monitoring the renal function is of importance in predicting chronic renal failure.[6]
A genetic test is also available to detect mutations in the MEFV gene. Sequencing of exons 2, 3, 5, and 10 of this gene detects an estimated 97% of all known mutations.[6]
A specific and highly sensitive test for FMF is the "Metaraminol Provocative Test (MPT)," whereby a single 10 mg infusion of Metaraminol is administered to the patient. A positive diagnosis is made if the patient presents with a typical, albeit milder, FMF attack within 48 hours. As MPT is more sensitive than specific, it does not identify all cases of FMF. Although a positive MPT can be very useful.[7][8]
Virtually all cases are due to a mutation in the MEFV gene on the sixteenth chromosome, which codes for a protein called pyrin or marenostrin. Various mutations of this gene lead to FMF, although some mutations cause a more severe picture than others. Mutations occur mainly in exons 2, 3, 5 and 10.[6]
The function of pyrin has not been completely elucidated, but it appears to be a suppressor of the activation of caspase 1, the enzyme that stimulates production of interleukin 1β, a cytokine central to the process of inflammation. In other words an ineffective pyrin doesn't inhibit inflammation normally, resulting in inflammatory episodes of membranes at differing sites. It is not conclusively known what exactly sets off the attacks, and why overproduction of IL-1 would lead to particular symptoms in particular organs (e.g. joints or the peritoneal cavity).[6]
The MEFV gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 16 (16p13). The disorder inherits in an autosomal recessive fashion. Therefore, two asymptomatic carrier parents have a 25% chance of a child with the disorder, a 50% chance of a child who is an asymptomatic carrier and a 25% chance of a child who does not carry the disorder. FMF patients who have children with a carrier or another FMF patient have a 50% and 100% chance, respectively, of having a child with FMF.[9][10]
There is one known case of an affected patient with only one parent who is a carrier. This is caused by a unique mutation on thesixteenth chromosome.
Attacks are self-limiting, and require analgesia and NSAIDs (such as diclofenac).[6]
Colchicine, a drug otherwise mainly used in gout, decreases attack frequency in FMF patients. The exact way in which colchicine suppresses attacks is unclear. While this agent is not without side effects (such as abdominal pain and muscle pains), it may markedly improve quality of life in patients. The dosage is typically 1–2 mg a day. Development of amyloidosis is delayed with colchicine treatment. Interferon is being studied as a therapeutic modality.[6] Some advise discontinuation of colchicine before and during pregnancy, but the data are inconsistent, and others feel it is safe to take colchicine during pregnancy.[11]
Approximately 5-10% of FMF cases are resistant to colchicine therapy alone. In these cases, adding anakinra to the daily colchicine regimen has been successful.[12]
A New York allergist, Dr Sheppard Siegal, first described the attacks of peritonitis in 1945; he termed this "benign paroxysmal peritonitis", as the disease course was essentially benign.[13] Dr Hobart Reimann, working in the American University in Beirut, described a more complete picture which he termed "periodic disease".[14][15]
In 1972, colchicine was discovered to prevent attacks.[16]
The link to the MEFV gene was discovered in 1997 by two different groups, each working independently – the French FMF Consortium,[9] and the International FMF Consortium.[10]

HiJoy's High Altitude Hopes and Head's Ups
a previous post by Breezy about the Hameed family:
Help a homeless family stay together!
|As Breezy told you, my family and I have been homeless and struggling for a long time. Keep in mind that this is the first time I have spoken/written publicly on this phase of my life (for the purpose of multiple people to see) In Los Angeles, we were always borderline and that was when I had a JOB. The bottom fell out of the economy when I was working at the hotel we also lived at, which was a hell-hole, let me tell you. Of the 2 1/2 years I worked there, 2 of them were without any formal management at all, except for my Office Manager and myself. WE came up with the means to pay for office equipment/supplies as no one else would. WE worked to keep the guards doing their jobs and WE dealt with the police every time something would come up- the fights that ended up in arrest and/or bloodshed, the deaths that occurred there (2). We monitored the grounds and reported to the police. When they came is was *ME* that they came to, no matter the hour, to run the cameras. Even after I was replaced as the Resident Manager, I was still the unofficial one, especially after he was arrested and jailed. Probably six months before the end came, we started having multiple managements trying to take over and "redeem" the hotel.The owner ("original") went to jail for being a slum lord and was legally bound from maintaining a property. Therefore, several other potentials popped up. Finally we ended up with one but they rarely came and were unresponsive for the most part. Eventually, they used the bad economy to give me a choice lose my job or take a "temporary" cut in pay, down to $9/hour (from $10) and PT (from FT). Hmmm… child to raise, family to feed…pretty obvious what I was going to have to do. On January 27, 2011, they came and called me into the office. They fired me on the spot, and informed me that the hotel was closing. I'm not saying that it was unexpected the proverbial writing was on the wall and our Office Manager got fired before I did. I knew my days were numbered but without a contingency plan B, our options were as limited as our time. Technically, we HAD a plan B, but it wasn't doable without money. We had been considering Chico for some time, a fellow toker having invited us, that we met through MySpace. When the offer of $5,000 came through, we had no choice but to take it in spite of the fact that according to the law, given our occupancy time, we were entitled to at least $18,500 or something like that. Unfortunately, the law has loopholes that protect the rich and connected at the expense of the poor and this was one such time. We didn't have the money to afford a lawyer that would enforce the law, nor did we have the time, with raising a baby and all. The lawyer who was representing other people who lived at the hotel (most of whom had criminal records) wouldn't contact me back through repeated requests for representation. In March 2011, we packed up our stuff, bought a cheap car with the money that we'd gotten to "relocate" and after 2 days in another hotel getting ready, we drove the 8 hours up to Paradise which is a town by Chico. We met our friend the next day. We stayed with him until we had to leave. We knew there was a shelter in Chico which accepted families and we were hell-bound to stay together, no matter what. They were also Prop 215friendly which was very beneficial for us. The day we left our friend's house, we ended up going to a motel room because I had the worst mouth ache I'd ever had. I've had issues with my teeth for decades, but whatever that was, it kept me in bed for 3 or 4 days. One blow of air to my face had me screaming. We found a cheaper motel and stayed there as long as possible. Through this whole time, I was attempting to get a job. We had a laptop and Internet connection in each motel we were in and I spent hours searching for work and going on job interviews. On April 20, we sat on a bench at the end of the street from the Torres Shelter (www.chicoshelter.org). We obtained a room of our own and for the next year, excluding Christmas and Thankgiving and periodic illness, we left every day at 6:30 am and went home at 4:30 pm. Every day, Raphael took Ishy there and taught him to read and write. What he did was done under duress (our situation) and he did it whether he was sick, whether it was raining or not. Every day I went to One Stop (www.butteonestop.org) and looked for work. When the opportunity came for me to go to school, I jumped on it and started getting up at 5 am to catch the bus to Oroville (the other town that makes up the Butte County sandwich, so to speak). I worked obsessively with my case worker at One Stop, emailing her every time something changed in my life, every time I finished a course that got me closer to my initial goal of the Office Manager Certificate. I began the course in Sept of 2011. Of all the courses I took, nothing took more out of me than the mandatory Accounting class. I worked on it, got tutoring for it when I could, but those concepts, and the cold hard work that has to go into it eluded me like one of America's top ten.The shelter refused to provide me with adequate space/time to do my work. I complained to everyone who'd listen my caseworkers knew, the head of the shelter knew, my teacher at school knew no one could/would help me. In spite of all the setbacks and lack of help, with encouragement from Raphael, I pressed on. I've never been a quitter and although the thought came to me a thousand times a day, I thought about the fact that One Stop had footed this bill and that I owed them. On April 20, 2012, we went to Oroville and took my final, final. I had run out of time and had to tweak what my Certificate was going to be. Given the classes I had finished and the "lateness of the hour", (ironically) I was going to have to settle for the Accounting Clerk instead of the Office Manager Certificate. I failed to get that Certificate by ONE class Publisher (which, also ironically, I've known and used for years lol). Now I have this certificate and I'm glad I finished at least something but I'd rather poke my eyes out with a dull pencil than do accounting.

Chester Greenwood - Earmuffs
By Mary Bellis
Chester Greenwood was born in Farmington, Maine in 1858. A grammar school dropout, he invented earmuffs at the age of 15 (1873). While testing a new pair of ice skates, he grew frustrated at trying to protect his ears from the bitter cold. After wrapping his head in a scarf, which was too bulky and itchy, he made two ear-shaped loops from wire and asked his grandmother to sew fur on them. He patented an improved model with a steel band which held them in place and with Greenwood's Champion Ear Protectors, he established Greenwood's Ear Protector Factory. He made a fortune supplying Ear Protectors to U.S. soldiers during World War I. He went on to patent more many other inventions. In 1977, Maine's legislature declared December 21 "Chester Greenwood Day" to honor a native son and his contribution to cold weather protection.
Farmington Maine is now the Earmuff Capital of the World. There is a parade that celebrates Chester's birthday the first Saturday in December, with local police cruisers in the parade decorated as giant earmuffs.

The History of Adhesives and Glue
Glue Bottle
Adhesives and Glue - What Sticks?
Archeologists excavating burial sites from 4000 BC have discovered clay pots repaired with glue made from tree sap. We know that the ancient Greeks developed adhesives for use in carpentry, and created recipes for glue that included the following items as ingredients: egg whites, blood, bones, milk, cheese, vegetables and grains. Tar and beeswax were used by the Romans for glue.
Around 1750, the first glue or adhesive patent was issued in Britain. The glue was made from fish. Patents were then rapidly issued for adhesives using natural rubber, animal bones, fish, starch, milk protein or casein.
Superglue - Synthetic Glue
Superglue or Krazy Glue is a substance called cyanoacrylate that was discovered by Dr. Harry Coover while working for Kodak Research Laboratories to develop an optically clear plastic for gunsights in 1942. Coover rejected cyanoacrylate because it was too sticky.
In 1951, cyanoacrylate was rediscovered by Coover and Dr Fred Joyner. Coover was now supervising research at the Eastman Company in Tennessee. Coover and Joyner were researching a heat-resistant acrylate polymer for jet canopies when Joyner spread a film of ethyl cyanoacrylate between refractometer prisms and discovered that the prisms were glued together.
Coover finally realized that cyanoacrylate was a useful product and in 1958 the Eastman compound #910 was marketed and later packaged as superglue.
Hot Glue - Thermoplastic Glue
Hot glue or hot melt adhesives are thermoplastics that are applied hot (often using glue guns) and then harden as they cool. Hot glue and glue guns are commonly used for arts and crafts because of the wide range of materials that hot glue can stick together.
Procter & Gamble chemical and packaging engineer, Paul Cope invented thermoplastic glue around 1940 as an improvement to water-based adhesives that were failing in humid climates.

Veterans Come First Program
In order to assist veterans in their transition from military service to civilian employment, the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) has implemented the Veterans Come First Program. This program offers priority services to veteran applicants and assists veterans by leveraging their transferable military experience and training in order to meet all or part of the Bureau's licensing qualifications. BSIS licenses covered by this program include:
- Security Guards and Proprietary Private Security Officers
- Private Patrol Operators and Private Patrol Operator Qualified Managers
- Private Investigators
- Alarm Company Qualified Managers and Employees
- Repossessor Qualified Managers and Employees
- Locksmith Operators and Employees
- Training Facilities and Firearm/Baton Instructors
The BSIS Veterans Come First Program provides the following support for veteran applicants:
- Provides veteran applicants with direct line telephone numbers and email contact information.
- Provides veteran applicants whose applications require special attention with a BSIS staff person to support them through the licensing process.
- Provides veteran applicants priority in the licensure process.
Security Guard License:
- Complete the eight (8) hour "Power to Arrest" training and pass the examination. This must be completed before applying.
- Complete and submit the online security guard application at Security Guard On-line Licensing Pilot Program - Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. The online application is sent electronically to the Bureau.
- Using the BSIS Security Guard Live Scan form (www.bsis.ca.gov/forms_pubs/livescan/guard.pdf), submit copies of your fingerprints electronically using Live Scan.
- After submitting your application, you must send a confirmation email to BSIS with your name, address, social security number, and date you applied to firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Once BSIS receives your online application, a criminal history background check is conducted.
- A BSIS representative will send you an email notifying you of your application's approval. The email will include a link where you can download proof of licensure so you can immediately begin to apply for jobs.
- Additional details on how to apply for a guard card are available at www.bsis.ca.gov/forms_pubs/guard_fact.shtml
All Other BSIS issued licenses: Email email@example.com and include a list of the licenses you are interested in applying for. A BSIS representative will reply with information on the specific process for that license.
The Bureau will review your DD214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) and the education and training transcript provided by your branch of the military. To request a military transcript:
- Air Force: Request a Community College of the Air Force transcript
- Army: Request an AARTS transcript
- Coast Guard: Request a Coast Guard Institute transcript
- Marine Corps: Request a SMART transcript
- Navy: Request a SMART transcript
If a military transcript is unavailable, just provide BSIS with your DD214. Please note that the Bureau may need to request additional confirmation of your training and experience.
The Bureau will review your Live Scan results and your civilian and military experience and education. If it is determined that your conviction history meets the necessary standards and your stated experience and education covers 100% of the experience requirements, you will be approved to take the appropriate licensing test, if required.
If your experience and training only meets a portion of the requirements for licensure, the Bureau will contact you directly and provide you with a path on how to fulfill the missing pieces. If it is determined that your Live Scan results do not meet the necessary standards you will be notified by the Bureau on how to engage your rights to an appeal.
Here is a summary of how you can use your transferable military experience and training to qualify for licensure:
- Security Guard and Private Security Officer: After completion of the mandatory 8 hours of training (4 hours of Power to Arrest and 4 hours of Weapons of Mass Destruction), and completion of the Live Scan process, you will be eligible for licensure as a Security Guard or Private Security Officer.
- Private Patrol Operator and Private Patrol Operator Qualified Manager: Military veterans who have at least 1 year of experience (2,000 hours) working as a guard, watchperson, sentry, MP, or equivalent, are eligible to take the licensing Private Patrol Operator and/or Private patrol Operator Qualified Manager test(s).
- Alarm Company Employee: Military veterans are qualified to be licensed as an Alarm Company Employee after successful completion of the Live Scan criminal background check process.
- Locksmith Operator and Locksmith Employee: Military veterans are qualified to be licensed as a Locksmith operator or Employee after successful completion of the Livescan Criminal background check process.
- Private Investigator: Military veterans can use their military police officer experience conducting investigations towards the hours required to become a licensed Private Investigator.
- Baton Instructor: Licensure requires an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice, or the equivalent, and a baton instructor certificate issued by a federal, state or local agency, or one year of verifiable baton teaching experience, or its equivalent. Experience in baton training in a military setting can be used to help satisfy this requirement.
- Firearm Instructor: Licensure requires an Associates Degree in the Administration of Justice, or one year of teaching and training experience and possession of a police or security firearms instructor training certificate issued by the National Rifle Association, or a firearms instructor training certificate issued by a federal, state or local agency. Experience in firearms training in a military setting can be used to help satisfy this requirement.
- Repossession Agency Employee: Military veterans are qualified to be licensed as a repossession agency employee after successful completion of the Live Scan criminal background check process.
You can receive reimbursement from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for many of the licensing and certification tests the State of California administers. The following certification and licensing tests administered by the Bureau have been approved for VA reimbursement:
- Private Patrol Operator, Qualified Manager
- Alarm Company Operator, Qualified Manager
- Private Investigator, Qualified Manager
- Repossession Agency, Qualified Manager
Currently, the VA will only pay for the costs of the tests and not other fees connected with obtaining a license or certification. For more information on reimbursement, please see the Federal Department of Veteran Affairs website at: http://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill/.

Li, X. and Skomski, R. and Sellmyer, D. (2010) Structure and magnetism of Co:CoO core-shell nanoclusters. Journal of Nanoparticle Research, 12 (3). pp. 789-794.

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron diffraction (ED) are used to investigate the nanostructures of two ensembles of Co:CoO core–shell particles. TEM images show that particles of size about 12 nm are almost fully oxidized, while particles with size about 18 nm have a core–shell structure where a Co core is surrounded by a shell of CoO. ED simulation confirms that the larger particles have an fcc-structured Co core and a rock-salt CoO shell structure, while the smaller particles mostly have the rock-salt CoO structure. The core–shell structure is responsible for the unusual magnetic properties of the Co:CoO nanoclusters, especially the occurrence of inverted hysteresis loops (proteresis), but previous research has been indirect, largely based on magnetic measurements and on a cross-comparison with granular materials. Our measurements show that the structures have ferromagnetic fcc Co cores of varying sizes down to 1 nm which are surrounded by antiferromagnetic rock-salt CoO shells. The core radii obtained from the TEM pictures are used to estimate the exchange interactions responsible for proteresis and to pinpoint the core-size window in which proteresis occurs.

I knew that months before I made this one. It is still one of the best threads in recent history. It's also a nice way to make up for all the stuff I missed like my one year and whatnot.
And so it ends. As fast as I appear my dark skin fades back into the shadows of an internetless crappy home where I'll suffer unspeakable mental torture until my next return in which I'll have built up my fury again where I will deal my devestating punishment apon those who deserve it. God this sucks....
oh god. it's so sad mario that you couldn't come up with somthing better. if you don't like me and my lighthearted comments then take your emo nigger ass and cry about it.
Mario's back. Should I go into hiding?
Im not even going to begin. Doesn't warrant a burn imo. '¬_¬
Mario will find his prey sooner or later
When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
police that whelp, cl
Believe me sasuke, I know from experience. Don't try it with Mario.
ok fine, but for the record, he can fuck off for all i care because his lame flames only make me laugh.
i'll stop here, but don't try anything with me again.
mario is as harmless as a butterfly.
I didn't mean it like that. his flames are awesome, I'm just saying he's as elegant and sweet as a butterfly.
Sasuke, the words Mario and lame flames cannot be put together in one sentence, unless used the correct way. exmpl:
This is acceptable, hence it is put in a good and correct way.Mario can win against anyone with lame flames.
Woops, you've just made a mistake.Mario can fuck off for all i care because his lame flames only make me laugh.
I SAY FROM NOW ON I AM YOUR TUTOR AND I WILL SHAPEN YOU UP LIKE GOD & CL AND LIKE FM & NANAKI. Come with me sasuke, we will train. (kinda weird since in the anime kakashi is sasuke's sensei.)

Maureen BurdockSanta Fe, NM
Born in Germany in 1970, I emigrated with my mother to the United States at age seven. During my childhood I frequently visited the art museums of Chicago, absorbing the work of artists who had the intention and power to change perspectives and social conditioning.
Since then, my work has consistently addressed social issues. I have shown my paintings, drawings, artist's books, and installations at the Anti War Museum in Berlin, Germany; TAPP Gallery in Sydney, Australia; MECENAS Gallery in Juarez; Mexico, and Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, among others. Past projects include The Womb is a Bunker: Exploration of Cellular Memory, The Politics of Purification, and Collateral Damage. These works dealt with the ways in which war affects civilians, especially women and children. My current work, a series of graphic novellas, is titled The F Word Project: Five Feminist Fables for the Twenty-first Century. This project incorporates engaging stories, social messages, strong female superheroines, humor, and contemporary artworks. I began this project in 2006, in response to the femicides in Juárez, Mexico.

Meet our newest Blogger & Transition to Spring with Summerbird's New Arrivals.
by Michelle Jones
Hi Scoopers, I am new to the Scoop Charlotte clan so let me take a minute to introduce myself before diving into the new spring arrivals at Summerbird. My name is Michelle and I write a local fashion-focused lifestyle blog at www.pinqueblog.com. I spend my days helping design the beautiful city we live in and my style is very much influenced by the fact that I spend 40+ hours working in a professional office. In my spare time, you will likely find me either shopping local stores or running the sidewalks of the Queen City, and then tweeting all about it. I've come to Scoop Charlotte to let you ladies know what's new in store and how to style for every occasion!
When asked to shop and style some of the spring arrivals at Summerbird, I did a little happy dance and then ran right over to the East Boulevard shop to see what they had in store. Who wouldn't jump at the chance to play dress up in designer duds like DVF, Opening Ceremony and Prada? Speaking of Prada, one of the first things that caught my eye was a gorgeous graphic print tweed skirt by the designer.
This skirt is perfect for transitioning from the cold winter weather to warmer spring days. Try it with a sweater and tights then shed some layers when the weather warms up. Which, for the sake of spring fashion, let's hope is sooner than later.
A shift dress, like this one by Suzi Chin for Maggy Boutique, is great for going from work to happy hour. Throw on a blazer or cardigan for the office, then lose the layering for after hours events with your girlfriends.
Need to run a few errands on the weekend? Ditch those yoga pants (no worries, I am guilty too) and try a pair of white denim with this T-Bags tunic (new with tags!) from Summerbird. A comfortable pair of flats or wedges wraps up a cute and casual weekend look.
Headed out dancing with friends on a Friday night? No problem, this cutout dress from Leifsdottir has you covered.
Date night gets a dose of style with an of-the-moment Emerald dress by Robert Rodriguez. Add a contrasting pink or red heel and you have a look perfect for Valentine's Day dates and beyond.
If you aren't already jumping in your car to head over to Summerbird, take it from me and grab those keys and go! Be sure to also check out the Summerbird Facebook page to see more new arrivals. Trust me when I say these styles won't stay on the racks long.
Stay fashionable!

The flight departed Airlake Airport, Minneapolis, Minnesota en route to Rock County Airport, Janesville, Wisconsin. According to Radar Data, the images showed activity in the area of the accident site. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The pilot did not possess an airplane instrument rating. At 1928 central daylight time, a person, who stated that his aircraft was N9350N received a visual flight rule weather briefing The briefer reported that a Northeast Southwest orientated cold front was moving through the area, ahead of which was a huge area of thunderstorms and rain showers which started around Rochester and extended to the Steven's Point area. The caller reported, during his weather briefing, that he was looking at the radar of convective activity on a screen in front of him. There were no radio communications with the accident aircraft and Flight Watch or Minneapolis Center. The wreckage was found over a 1,350 foot by 1,030 foot area. Both wings, vertical stabilizer and left half of the stabilator were not located with the aircraft's fuselage and exhibited deformation at their separation points.

Calgary, AB. June 7, 2010 - Churches from
across the Greater Vancouver Area partnered with the Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association of Canada (BGEAC) to clean up Surrey last
weekend. About 375 young people worked with the Surrey parks and
engineering departments to improve parks around the area and talk
up Rock the River Tour West, an August youth festival in
The Community Action Projects (CAP) aimed to show Christian
concern for Vancouver residents and their neighborhoods, and help
young people understand the value of service work. In addition to
improving public spaces, they served many single-parent families,
elderly, and disabled people who are unable to clean up their
yards, fix fences, or paint. Youth also worked at the Surrey Urban
Mission Centre, to beautify the area and do minor repairs.
"The kids found it inspiring to do something not just for
themselves, but for others," said Jay Anderson, organizer of CAP
for the BGEAC. "Their excitement was contagious and we heard some
fantastic things from the youth about how good it felt to serve
their community. Also, the residents truly appreciated the work
they did and thanked us for coming out."
These projects were a lead-up to Rock the River Tour West, a
youth festival where thousands of people will rock with popular
bands and hear messages of Christian hope from Franklin Graham, son
of famed evangelist Billy Graham. Further Community Action Projects
are planned for the last week in June.
Rock the River Tour West is making several stops in Western
Canada: August 7 at the Millennium Park in Cloverdale; August 21 at
Canada Olympic Park in Calgary; and August 28 at Telus Field in
For more information about Rock the River, please visit rocktherivertour.com.
