You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'Pamela Colman Smith' category.
From the Nelson Evening Mail (New Zealand) for 4 May 1907, in a column called "Weekly Whispers" we find this rare account of Pamela Colman Smith (thanks to LoRee):
"Miss Pamela Colman Smith, who made such a success in London a year or two ago as a storyteller, is now enchanting America with her quaint art. She recently entertained Mark Twain, and he was so delighted that he laughed like a child the whole time. In the weird dialect of the Jamaican negroes—a sort of cockney English with Spanish colouring, a rhythmic rising inflection at the end of each sentence, and barbaric words and idioms sprinkled through it that must have come directly from the voodoo worshippers of the African jungle—she tells fairy folk-tales of "de long ago before time, when Queen Victoria didn't yet rule over we."
"This is her story of "De Six Poach Eggs," which tickled the author of "The Jumping Frog."
"'A man stop at a cookshop fe someting to eat, an' dey bring him six poach eggs an' he eat dem, an' he say him don't got any money to pay fe dem; but would come back an' pay when he find him fortune. So after twelve years him stop an' pay six-pence fe de eggs he had eat twelve years before. But de keeper of de cookshop say it was not enough, dat if de man had not eaten de eggs dey would have grown up to chickens, an' de chickens would grow up to hens, an' de hens would lay more eggs, an' dey would grow to chickens, an' dat de six eggs would be worth more dan sixty pounds, not six pennies! De man say he would not pay any more dan six-pence. An' de cookshop-keeper say he mus'! An' so he take de man to de judge, an' de judge didn't know what to say. While he was t'inkin' a little boy came in de courthouse. An' him hab a bag under him arm, an de judge say, 'What you got?' An' de boy say, 'Parch peas, sah.' 'What you goin' to do wid it? An' de boy say, 'Plant it, sah.' An' de judge say, 'But parch peas won't grow.' An' de boy say, 'An' poach eggs won't hatch!' De man didn't have to pay. De boy got him reward, though, an' was rich before him go away with Death. Dis story prove that 'No catchee, no habie.'" Miss Smith was born in London of American parents, and was brought up as a young girl in Kingston, Jamaica."

We have tarot author and deck creator Corinne Kenner to thank for the first book edition of an illustrated story by Pamela Corinne Colman Smith called Susan and the Mermaid. It appeared in the Christmas 1912 edition of a U.S. fashion magazine, The Delineator, published by Butterick Publishing company (of sewing pattern fame) and has been redesigned as a children's book. Corrine describes it as "the rediscovered tale of a magic ring, an underwater kingdom, and a wise old woman who knew how to make her granddaughter's dreams come true." It also contains one of the most lovely biographies of Smith that I've read. If you are a PCS fan, this small book is a "must have." There's more information at Shuffle: Corrine Kenner's Tarot Blog. Order your copy here.
Here's Corinne's video preview. Enjoy.
Here's a newly discovered photo of Pamela Colman Smith with her signature from 1903, published in The Lamp (vol. 26), in which her publication "The Green Sheaf" is reviewed. (Thanks to Cerulean). Click on photo to see it larger.
Kim Arnold arranged an outing for the UK Tarot Conference to Smallhythe Place, the country home of Ellen Terry, where Pamela Colman Smith visited often. When Kim and I went there last December we thought the surrounding landscape looked very much like that found in several of the Minor Arcana cards. Kim, who lives only about about an hour away, commented that the trees were unusual and totally unlike those found near her home, so we came up with the theory that Pixie had retreated to Smallhythe when she had to complete "a big job for very little cash" in very little time, and that she used some of the local views in her cards. Here's a detail from one of her drawings left at Smallhythe.
Kim asked the archivists if they could find all the Pamela Colman Smith works that were in storage and have them on display for the tarot group. It turned out that there were several pictures that had had not been documented previously. Kim has thoughtfully arranged these for everyone to see on this youtube video.
You can find a list of the documented PCS material kept at Smallhythe here. Katharine Cockin sent word that you can find more references to PCS at the Ellen Terry and Edith Craig Database (just search on her name).
See more pictures and commentary from this outing at the Students of Tarot website.
My main list of Pamela Colman Smith resources is located here.
Come to the UK Tarot Conference in London, October 2010.
I'm so excited. My Pamela Colman Smith Commemorative Tarot Set has arrived from U.S. Games. The book of Pixie's art is delightful—full of colorful images and showing a full range of her work, including a couple of pieces from late in her life. Waite's Pictorial Key to the Tarot (included) is the same-old book in a new cover but with no pictures (huh?). The postcards are great to have—a very nice bonus. Read the rest of this entry »
Exciting News! U.S. Games has announced a new tarot deck set celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Rider-Waite Deck, and honoring the artistry of Pamela Colman Smith. Read my review here.
The deluxe set will include the Smith-Waite Centennial Tarot Deck (reproduced from the original 1909 deck – hey, it's about time, thank you very much!) and two books:
- The Artwork and Times of Pamela Colman Smith, by Stuart R. Kaplan, with over one hundred examples of her non-tarot art.
- The Pictorial Key to the Tarot by Arthur Edward Waite, in a new format.
The set also includes two prints of Pamela Colman Smith, one photo and one self-portrait, both 5" X 7" suitable for framing; six color postcards of artwork by Pamela Colman Smith; and Spread Sheet Guide. Everything is attractively packaged in a deluxe keepsake case. Price: $35.00
I believe it is expected for May 2009 unless there are delays. See the U.S. Games promotional information here.
Pamela Colman Smith (Pixie to her friends) has her own MySpace page, complete with reproductions of drawings she did to music—while that music plays in the background. You can see it and become her friend here.
(Thanks to Malcolm Muckle who told me about this page.)
A reproduction of a poster by Pamela Colman Smith is available at ebaystores:
POLISH RELIEF FUND POSTER VIRGIN OF CZESTOCHOWA 1008 or here.
Pixie's initials can be seen in the lower left corner and the similarity to several of her cards is apparent.
The poster is from 1915. Pixie was a friend of the Honorary Secretary of this Fund, Miss Laurence Alma Tadema (daughter of the artist).
The reproduction is 10.5″ x 16.5″ and printed on 100 lb. glossy stock—suitable for framing.
Thanks to Holly Voley for telling me about this at BATS.
Pamela Colman Smith never became well-known as an artist and, without the Tarot deck she illustrated, she may have fallen into total obscurity. Stuart Kaplan, president of U.S. Games, Inc. says he could have made her a millionaire.
The only comment from Pixie Smith about the creation of the tarot deck was in a letter to her mentor Alfred Stieglitz (click on the letter to see a larger version).
You can see much of the artwork of Pamela Colman Smith at these sites (thanks especially to Roppo and Holly Voley for their efforts to make Pixie's work available to the rest of us):

Video by the Japanese collector of the works of Pamela Colman Smith, Roppo (see links above):
Correction to video: I don't know of any evidence that suggests that PCS was adopted by her parents. However, she did become the foster daughter of the great actress, Ellen Terry.
See my post on Pixie's instructions for reading the cards here. Let me know if I've missed anything and I'll add it to the above list.
Pamela Colman Smith (also known as Pixie), artist of the Rider-Waite (Smith) Tarot deck, wrote nothing about the deck she created except in a letter to her mentor, Alfred Stieglitz, "I just finished a big job for very little cash!" She did tell us, however, in an article called "Should the Art Student Think?," what must have been her own approach to reading the cards. This is the core of my own reading style.
"Note the dress, the type of face; see if you can trace the character in the face; note the pose. . . . First watch the simple forms of joy, of fear, of sorrow; look at the position taken by the whole body. . . . After you have found how to tell a simple story, put in more details. . . . Learn from everything, see everything, and above all feel everything! . . . Find eyes within, look for the door into the unknown country."*
Essentially, she's suggesting the following steps:
- Describe the card literally.
- Describe what seem to be the emotions, style and attitudes of the people on the card.
- Physically embody the card—act it out.
- Make up a story about what's happening and turn it into a first person account (so you are feeling everything yourself).
- In your mind's eye, step over the border of the card (through the door).
- Enter into that world, seeing beyond the borders to things you never knew were there.
In my opinion, this is the best way to discover what these cards mean for you in any situation.

The byway traverses an area of diverse beauty from the deepest canyon east of the Mississippi to the highest point in Alabama. It goes from Lookout Mountain in the north to the highest peak in Alabama at Cheaha Mountain. Along the route are Little River Canyon, Weiss Lake, Cornwall Furnace, the Chief Ladiga Trail, the Talladega Scenic Byway, and Cheaha State Park.
The Appalachian Highlands Scenic Byway
Barbour County Governors' Trail
Visit the Barbour County Governors Trail, home to a concentration of Alabama leadership. Over the years, the county has produced six governors, including presidential candidate George C. Wallace. Rich with heritage, the county boasts grassroots leaders who have served Alabama and its people. Further, the history-laden area is framed by a beautiful, natural backdrop that offers fishing, boating, and picnicking.
The Black Belt Nature and Heritage Trail
Sometimes slow and subtle, at other times fast-paced and bold, change on the landscape has been a constant in Alabama's Black Belt region. The themes and storylines of the byway illustrate the significance of the continuous interrelationship between people and the land in shaping the unique history and culture of the region.
Black Warrior River Scenic Byway
This urban route circles approximately 12 miles along the Black Warrior River. Three bridges along the route offer breathtaking views of the river and its riverbanks. The route spotlights the boundless natural scenic beauty of the Black Warrior River and exhibits historic ruins, structures and markers including the site of the Alabama State Capitol from 1826 until 1847. Bicycle and pedestrian trails, parks, picnic facilities, fishing piers, boat landings, historic markers, and restaurants as well as sites for new development align the route.
Leeds Stagecoach Route
Alabama's Stagecoach Route Through Leeds began as an Indian trail traversing a vast watershed. As a trail, it served as a staging ground for three emerging Alabama cultures. Early Christian Cherokees along with European circuit riders used it to plant Methodist churches. The Christian Indian culture arrived from North Carolina before 1812. Andrew Jackson's scouts (1812-13) widened the trail as they sought roadways for supply wagons. When Europeans, largely veterans of the Creek Indian War, entered the valley in Leeds (1820), the widened trail became a stagecoach route that lay in its original bed when the first black settlers arrived in the late 1880's.
Lookout Mountain Parkway
Northeast Alabama's Lookout Mountain Parkway Scenic Byway, named by Reader's Digest as one of America's Scenic Drives, serves as a gateway to your imagination. Envision a land where real people bring the past alive, with historic town squares, pioneer villages, confederate ironworks, antique shops and Native American folklore and artifacts. Imagine a land of real […]
Tensaw Parkway
While fishermen may find their way onto the delta at the myriad boat launches, visitors wishing to spend a day on the water exploring the vast delta ecosystem can take advantage of the two hour river tour onboard the Delta Explorer which is scheduled through and disembarks from Blakeley State Park. Beyond the natural beauty associated with the Tensaw Parkway, visitors can transport themselves back in time to a period in which Baldwin County was a synthesis of Native American and European cultures; a time when Baldwin County was emblematic of raw, untamed splendor.

This follow-up to the hugely popular Tetris didn't do as well commercially, but it does offer a lot of neat twists to the falling block concepts: two-player mode, special items such as bombs that can clear away many blocks at once, and much improved graphics. Anyone who loves Tetris will love this game, except perhaps for a handful of purists :)

Obama to Nominate Lew as Treasury Secretary
President Barack Obama has decided to nominate Jacob Lew, a central figure in the Clinton and Obama White Houses, to be the next Treasury secretary, elevating the White House chief of staff into the administration's most important economic post, a Democratic official familiar with the matter said.
Oops, wrong Lew – not of the Rockwell persuasion. I guess the Fed and the Fiscal Cliff will stick around for a while after all.

Bella Italia! Italy has Europe's richest, craziest culture. After all, this nation is the cradle of European civilization — established by the Roman Empire and carried on by the Roman Catholic Church. As you explore Italy, you'll stand face-to-face with some of the world's most iconic images from this 2,000-year history: the Colosseum of Ancient Rome, the medieval Leaning Tower of Pisa, Michelangelo's David and Botticelli's Venus, the playful Baroque exuberance of the Trevi Fountain...and the elegant decay that surrounds the canals of Venice. Beyond these famous sights, though, Italy offers Europe's richest culture. Traditions still live within a country that is vibrant and fully modern. Go with an eye open to both the Italy of the past and of the present.
At a Glance
▲▲▲ Venice Romantic island city, powerful in medieval times; famous for St. Mark's Basilica, the Grand Canal, and singing gondoliers.
▲▲▲ The Cinque Terre Five idyllic Riviera hamlets along a rugged coastline (and part of a national park), connected by scenic hiking trails and dotted with beaches.
▲▲▲ Florence The cradle of the Renaissance, with the world-class Uffizi Gallery, Brunelleschi's dome-topped Duomo, Michelangelo's David, and Italy's best gelato.
▲▲▲ Siena Florence's smaller and (some say) more appealing rival, with its grand Il Campo square and striking striped cathedral.
▲▲▲ Rome Italy's capital, the Eternal City, studded with Roman remnants (Forum, Colosseum, Pantheon), romantic floodlit-fountain squares, and the Vatican — home to one of Italy's top museums and the Sistine Chapel.
▲▲ Milan Powerhouse city of commerce and fashion, with the prestigious La Scala opera house, Leonardo's The Last Supper, and three airports.
▲▲ Heart of Tuscany Picturesque, wine-soaked villages of Italy's heartland, including mellow Montepulciano, Renaissance Pienza, and Brunello-fueled Montalcino.
▲▲ Assisi St. Francis' hometown, perched on a hillside, with a divinely Giotto-decorated basilica.
▲▲ Orvieto and Civita More hill-town adventures, featuring Orvieto's classic views and ornate cathedral plus the adorable pocket-sized village of Civita di Bagnoregio.
▲▲ Naples Gritty, in-love-with-life port city featuring vibrant street life and a top archaeological museum.
▲ Near Venice Several interesting towns: Padua (with Giotto's gloriously frescoed Scrovegni Chapel), Verona (Roman amphitheater plus Romeo and Juliet sights), and Ravenna (top Byzantine mosaics).
▲ The Dolomites Italy's rugged rooftop with a Germanic flair, featuring Bolzano (home of Ötzi the Iceman), Castelrotto (charming village), and Alpe di Siusi (alpine meadows laced with lifts and hiking trails).
▲ The Lakes Two relaxing lakes, each with low-key resort towns and a mountainous backdrop: Lake Como, with quaint Varenna and upscale Bellagio; and Lake Maggiore, with straightforward Stresa, manicured islands, and elegant villas.
▲ Pisa and Lucca Two classic towns: Pisa, with its famous Leaning Tower and surrounding Field of Miracles, and Lucca, with a charming walled old center.
▲ Volterra and San Gimignano Two hill towns in north Tuscany: vibrant, refreshing Volterra and multi-towered, touristy San Gimignano.
▲ Pompeii and Nearby Famous ruins of the ancient towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum, stopped in their tracks by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
▲ Sorrento and Capri The seaside resort port of Sorrento, and a short cruise away, the jet-set island getaway of Capri, with its Blue Grotto.
▲ Amalfi Coast and Paestum String of seafront villages — including hilly Positano and workaday Amalfi — tied together by a scenic mountainous coastal road, plus nearby Paestum, with its well-preserved ancient Greek temples.
Riviera Towns near the Cinque Terre More Italian Riviera fun, including the beach towns of Levanto, Sestri Levante, the larger Santa Margherita Ligure, and trendier Portofino nearby, and to the south, resorty Portovenere and workaday La Spezia (transportation hub).

New Music: Skylar Grey – 'Invisible'
She's penned hits for megastars such as Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Diddy, but Skylar Grey still feels "Invisible" on the first single from her KIDinaKORNER/Interscope debut Invinsible, coming this fall. Produced by Alex Da Kid and co-written by Skylar and Matchbox 20's Rob Thomas, the dark midtempo is for anyone who's ever felt overlooked with lyrics like, "Even when I'm walking on a wire/ Even when I set myself on fire/ Why do I always feel invisible?"
"['Invisible'] is where I started out when I moved up to the woods and I was trying to find out who I was in the world because I felt very lost," the 25-year-old singer-songwriter tells Ryan Seacrest. "Then I came out of that whole experience with this new found strength and I made me feel invincible, the whole theme of the album tells that story."
We see you, Skylar.

Menopace® Nutrient Therapy
Russell S. Kirby, PhD, MS, FACE
Department of Maternal and Child Health
School of Public Health
University of Alabama at Birmingham
Birmingham, Alabama
Considerable controversy surrounds the use of hormone replacement therapy [HRT] for treatment of peri-menopausal symptoms. Recent publications from three large, prospective randomized studies call the safety of HRT into question, and leave patients searching for answers.
Nutrient therapy may provide symptomatic relief without increasing risk of chronic disease. In this study, results of a series of uncontrolled prospective studies of peri-menopausal symptom relief using Menopace® nutrient therapy were combined to provide a broad perspective on the safety and effectiveness of this alternative treatment modality.
Data from seven studies with a total of 766 subjects were analyzed. Subjects with specific menopausal symptoms reported improvement after three months of daily use of the therapy, ranging from 87.8% of subjects with hot flashes to 67.5% of subjects with poor concentration reporting
Overall improvement in menopausal symptoms was reported in 93.2% of all subjects. These results provide consistent evidence of the effectiveness of comprehensive, nutritionally balanced nutrient therapy for treatment of menopausal symptoms. While most evidence-based practitioners focus primarily on research results from randomized, controlled clinical trials, other forms of research evidence can also guide clinicians for safe and effective treatment options for their patients. Int J Fertil 51[3]:125-129, 2006.
KEY WORDS: menopause, nutrient therapy, evidence-based practice, and uncontrolled prospective studies
AS LIFE EXPECTANCY INCREASES and the population grows throughout the world, more women not only are reaching the age of menopause and living well beyond it, but are also demanding a higher quality of life during these later life stages. Whereas menopause is not a disease per se in any sense of the word, it does represent a natural biological process in the human female [1], which is often associated with a range of unpleasant physiological occurrences. In the past, most women put up with the vicissitudes of menopausal changes, believing that there was little that they could do to alleviate them.
With the advent of prototype hormonal replacement therapy in the 1960s, however, many women were initially offered estrogen, and later, combinations of estrogen and progesterone, to alleviate the numerous annoying symptoms of this stage of life. Alone or combined, these two hormonal agents became known to medical professionals and the lay public as hormone replacement therapy [HRT].
Recently, HRT has been called into question, most notably through the initial publication and subsequent interpretations of the American Women's Health Initiative study [WHI], the Heart and Estrogen/ Progestin Replacement Study (HERS/ HERS II), and the British Million Women Study [2,3,4].
The immediateness of the response of clinicians and gynecological professional societies to published results from these studies was not unexpected. This, coupled with a worldwide medical coverage that was little less than sensationalistic, resulted in a dramatic decline in the use of hormonal therapies for women during and after menopause.
With time for reflection, the appropriateness of this 'rejection response' has been called into serious question, not only in the United States, but in the United Kingdom as well [5,6,7]. As this debate continues and secondary analyses and counter analyses of these studies continue to appear, many women are bewildered by this conflict and appropriately ask their health care providers what non-hormonal alternatives might be available to provide relief from the symptoms of menopause. This basic question has resulted in an enormous outpouring of interest in the literature, much of which is related to the discipline of alternative medicine, an area of medicine now so vast that is cannot be addressed in this review.
Having said this, among the currently available alternatives to HRT, there is growing international interest in the potential of using nutrient therapy for treatment of the menopause and it symptomatology [8,9].
Indeed, a large number of manufacturers have developed and marketed nutritional or herbal products for relief and control of menopausal symptoms, but few studies exist that describe the safety and efficacy of these products [10].
This report describes the tolerability, safety, and efficacy of Menopace®, a vitamin and nutrient supplement marketed for peri- and postmenopausal women.
Menopace® (Vitabiotics Ltd.,London UK.) contains a balanced palatte of 22 nutrients selected based on their published properties to maintain women's health during menopause.
These nutrients include vitamin B complex, zinc, magnesium, vitamins A, C, D, and E, manganese, chromium, and selenium. For this analysis, study designs and results for all available observational studies of Menoapce®, in uncontrolled as well as randomized studies, were analyzed to determine which might be included in summary analyses.
Specifically, the dosage and recommended frequency of use, the length of follow-up, and the pre- and post-usage symptomatology questionnaires were reviewed for similarities in study design across the studies.
All of these studies are unpublished, and reports provided by their authors to Vitabiotics Ltd. were made available for the purpose of this analysis.
Several placebo-controlled trials were reviewed, including two in India and one in Russia. In none of these studies do the research reports document that study subjects were randomized to treatment groups. Moreover, differences in comparison groups, length of follow-up, and other study design issues made it imprudent to include these trials in the summary analyses.
A total of six out of 7 seven uncontrolled observational studies with a combined 766 subjects were amenable to summary analysis. These studies were:
All studies examined the efficacy of Menopace® in peri- and post-menopausal women, selected as random samples from contacts made by respondents to an appeal for clinical trial volunteers by the health editors of leading magazines or newspapers, with the exception of the Krishna and Virkud studies, which used the same methods but obtained subjects from large outpatient gynecology practices.
Following recruitment, university survey research centers or well-known obstetrician/gynecologists conducted or monitored the investigations. Participants were asked to complete an initial questionnaire and were then provided with a one month supply of Menopace®.
At the month's end, respondents returned the questionnaire, and received the next month's supply by mail. Of the seven studies, one followed participants for two months and the other six completed three months of follow-up.
Seven observational studies were conducted from 1992 through 1995, in the United Kingdom and India. Although the study patients ranged in age from 24 to 67, the majority of participants were in their 40s or older. Mean ages were reported for six of the seven studies, and ranged from 44 to 53.
Some attrition occurred in all the studies. A careful statistical analysis of the characteristics of dropouts and those who continued could not be performed with the available data, though some of the studies themselves attempted to do this.
Women who did not continue for the full three months appeared to have had less favorable response from Menopace® in terms of their menopausal symptoms.
For the women completing the three month follow-up, symptomatic improvement is shown in Table I, and overall symptom improvement results are presented in Table II. These data suggest that the vast majority of women participating in these observational studies experienced substantial improvement in their menopausal symptoms using Menopace® daily for three months.
Improvement in specific symptoms varied, however. The Daily Mirror study sample contributed the poorest outcomes of any of the studies for each of the specific symptoms reported in Table I. Overall improvement was better in the three observational studies from the United Kingdom than in the four Indian observational studies. Very few side effects were reported in any of the studies, and none of these was significant.
Additional observational studies of the efficacy of Menopace® were also conducted. An uncontrolled clinical trial conducted by Prof. V. I.
Krasnopolsky at the Moscow Regional Obstetrics and Gynecology Research and Development Institute [Russia] compared menopausal symptoms in peri-menopausal women treated with Menopace® (N = 30) and HRT (N = 28) with six months of follow-up. Because these results were reported using different clinical outcomes, this study was not included in the summary analysis. However, by six months, the proportion with severe climacteric manifestations in the Menopace® arm of the study had declined from 50% at baseline to 10%, similar to that observed among those women receiving HRT.
In another study, 120 women with mean age of 50.7 years were followed for three months in gynecology clinics in five Lithuanian cities in 1999 (V. Riauba, Entapharma). Although the results were presented in a manner difficult to include in the summary analysis, almost all patients had at least some overall symptom improvement with three months of daily Menopace®, and results for individual symptoms were in the mid-range of those from the combined analysis.
A third study from India compared 60 peri-menopausal women, 30 of whom received placebo and 30 Menopace®, and found greater improvements in menopausal symptomatology among women in the Menopace® group; unfortunately, this publication did not provide sufficient study design information to determine if the study was a scientifically randomized, controlled clinical trial. Other trials were conducted in Russia, Denmark, and India (Dr. R. Arora, Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi) during the early 1990s; however, here also the study designs and methods of analysis were not similar to the majority of trials cited in this report. Despite this, these results were similar to those reported above.

Diabetes is the Leading Cause of Renal Failure in New Zealand
Diabetes-induced nephropathy is now the leading cause of end-stage renal failure in New Zealand, according to the Department of Medicine at Auckland Hospital in New Zealand.
The researchers wanted to look at the distinction between established nephropathy in type I and type 2 diabetes. To this end, they selected 17 type I patients, who were predominantly European, and 29 type 2 patients, all of whom were Polynesian.
They found that kidney function fell much more rapidly in the group with type 2 diabetes, though glycemic control was worse in the Type I group, according to the results of the study which were published in the Aug. 1994 Australia/New Zealand Journal of Medicine.
The results could be read in two ways. Either people with type 2 diabetes progress more quickly to renal failure, or people of Polynesian origin are more prone to renal failure. Either explanation would explain the apparent excess of Polynesians with type 2 diabetes on renal replacement programs in New Zealand.Click Here To View Or Post Comments

Sheamus Panel in Room #202
Height: 6 6
Weight: 272 pounds
From: Dublin, Ireland
Signature Moves: High Cross, Brogue Kick, Irish Curse
Career Highlights: World Heavyweight Champion, WWE Champion, United States Champion
Sheamus journey to the WWE began many years ago. Born in Dublin, Ireland, Sheamus grew up in the inner-city and often found himself defending his smaller friends from bullies. He excelled at Gaelic football, soccer and rugby and took to weight lifting with his father, who would bring him to amateur bodybuilding competitions. He became interested in sports entertainment at an early age, watching future WWE Superstar William Regal perform on the popular
World of Sport
television program and also watching the imported WWE programming.
Sheamus began competing in sports entertainment in 2005, facing the best that Ireland and the UK had to offer while also traveling to Italy and Portugal to gain a broader experience. At times he would perform two days in a row, then sleep in the airport while waiting for his flight home so he could get back to work in the IT department of a major firm in Ireland.
Sheamus set a goal to bring a true taste of Irish heritage to WWE. Rather than the stereotypical images of leprechauns, Irish history and folklore is full of tales of fierce warriors who were feared by their opponents. Sheamus sees himself as a modern incarnation of these powerful fighters. In fact, his spiked red mane is reminiscent of the Celtic warriors of old, who were believed to have used tree sap to give their hair a frightening appearance.
One of the biggest characteristics that sets Sheamus apart from other WWE Superstars is his self described Irish Tan. While most WWE Superstars are tan, Sheamus has embraced his pale Irish skin as his calling card. He is constantly wearing long sleeve shirts during the day to protect himself from the harmful rays of the sun. It took Mattel some extra time to make a Sheamus action figure, because they had to make a special shade of white in order to make his action figure authentic.
All of Sheamus hard work has led to success in WWE. Sheamus is a two time WWE Champion and the first ever Irish born WWE Champion as well as a World Heavyweight Champion.
Sheamus continues to give back to the community through various outlets within the WWE such as the Be a STAR Alliance - speaking to youngsters about the importance of reading, staying in school and avoiding the dangers of bullying.
He is one of the hardest working WWE Superstars making television and radio appearances all across the world to promote WWE live events. The Celtic Warrior has appeared on
The Tonight Show, Conan and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
. He has also graced the cover of
Muscle and Fitness Magazine
You can catch Sheamus every week on Syfys Friday Night SmackDown at 8/7c.

Intra-articular Hyaluronan Injections for Osteoarthritis
Currently, there is no curative therapy for osteoarthritis, and thus the overall goals of management are to reduce pain and prevent disability. In 1995, the
Intra-articular hyaluronic acid is "indicated for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative nonpharmacologic therapy, and to simple analgesics, e.g., acetaminophen." The product inserts indicate that the Synvisc® and Euflexxa® products should be injected intra-articularly into the knee joint once per week for a total of three injections over a three-week period. In contrast, 5 weekly injections are recommended for the Hyalgan® and Supartz® products, and 3-4 weekly injections are recommended for OrthoVisc®. The FDA approved removal of a precaution statement from the package inserts for sodium hyaluronate (MW 500-730 kDa) and hylan G-F 20 that stated that the safety and efficacy of repeat courses have not been established. In February 2009, the FDA approved the use of single-dose hylan G-F 20 (Synvisc-OneTM ) for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee. In 2011, the FDA approved the use of the single-dose cross-linked hyaluronate Gel-One® (also known as Gel-200) for the treatment of OA of the knee.
The FDA has not approved intrarticular hyaluronan for joints other than the knee.
POLICYIntra-articular hyaluronan injections may be considered medically necessary for treatment of painful osteoarthritis of the knee in patients who have insufficient pain relief from conservative nonpharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics.
Repeated courses of intra-articular hyaluronan injections may be considered medically necessary under the following conditions:
The use of intra-articular hyaluronan injections into joints other than the knee is considered investigational.
POLICY EXCEPTIONSFederal Employee Program (FEP) may dictate that all FDA-approved devices, drugs or biologics may not be considered investigational and thus these devices may be assessed only on the basis of their medical necessity.
Investigative service is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized by certifying boards and/or approving or licensing agencies or published peer review criteria as standard, effective medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and as such therefore is not considered medically necessary.
The coverage guidelines outlined in the Medical Policy Manual should not be used in lieu of the Member's specific benefit plan language.

HELP! How can I keep the mold and mildew from growing inside my houseboat during winter storage?
It's stored outside and covered with a tap over a wood frame. We leave some windows cracked for ventilation and I clean and dry everything very well, but in the spring there's still mold.
Tips? Ideas? I'll try just about anything! Thanks Karen.
Reply - Answer
Well Karen, sorry to hear about your mold and mildew problem in your houseboat. I know of a few fellow boaters who have had this problem. Don't worry, we will find a solution together.
As to Tips and Ideas, you can try the following to help rid or prevent mold & mildew in the future. I think there is two paths that can be taken.
The first path is how to "prevent mold and mildew", and the other path is "how to get rid of mold and mildew" once it is occurring. While I am not a chemical engineer, here are some tips and ideas that I use, and heard from other boaters that help.
1) Be sure that there is adequate ventilation throughout the houseboat. Keep all cupboard and closet doors open to allow proper ventilation.
2) Use a commercial mold & mildew chemical remover to wash the areas that are affected. I don't think that soap & water will kill the bacteria.
3) I have used those commercially available "humidity removers" that come in small plastic containers, and placed them all over. They are used when storing boats, RV's, and campers etc... to reduce the humidity during storage. (you can find them at RV centers or boat stores)

Beyond excited to finally share this awesome collaboration I've been keepin' a secret from you! I know, I felt bad doing so, but it was totally worth the wait! A couple of months ago, Revolve Clothing asked me to be a part of a 5×5 project they were going to launch where they paired 5 cool brands with 5 bloggers to design a bomber jacket exclusively for Revolve. Of course I jumped at the opportunity; I was flattered to be asked but even more so to be working with my close, amazing friend Anine Bing on designing this bomber together! That was definitely the icing on the cake!
Since Anine and I have very similar personalities and style, working together was a piece of cake. We both knew we wanted a jacket that was versatile and timeless so we thought about color and fabrics and how that was going to affect that. The color was just as important as we wanted to make sure it would take you from day to night! This jacket definitely represents both Anine and I; effortless, versatile with an edge!
Hope you guys enjoy this collaboration between the three us (Anine and myself for Revolve); it was definitely an amazing experience getting to design a piece with a close friend- a friend I admire- to be sold exclusively on a site like Revolve, which I'm a huge fan of. Thank you all for the support!
Check out my jacket HERE plus a little interview!
Ps- We have an Instagram giveaway happening to win our jacket! Head over to @REVOLVEclothing on instagram for more details on how to enter the giveaway! #REVOLVE5x5
Special thank you to Revolve Clothing for including me in this awesome 5×5 collaboration! And a sweet and warm thank you to my Anine for being such a great friend and inspiration! I love you and us for working on this together!
Everyone has an addiction, everyone. I have a couple of things that I'm completely addicted to: sweets (ice cream, macaroons, cupcakes, pastries) and handbags. Handbags are definitely my go-to items that I always splurge on. Something about having a beautiful bag that you can have for years to come is so rewarding to me!
My collection has grown immensely over the last couple of years…but I don't remember ever buying/having a red structured handbag like this pretty little Beau one by Kate Spade. I love it's spacious inside to help fit all of my junk: makeup bag, tablet, agenda, camera, keys, wallet, snacks, and even a pair of converse etc! The structured style definitely helps give my looks a sleek touch while keeping things pretty and feminine with the big bow in the front! So cute!
I paired the bag with neutrals that always complement red, army green and tan. Adding a pop of leopard tied the whole look in… plus the sneakers totally make the look feel more sporty-chic! So me!

Berthoud Cuts Ribbon on Street Project
By Shari Phiel
Berthoud Recorder
It may not come as soon as business owners in the downtown would have liked, but Town staff officially reopened Mountain Avenue after months of construction renewing hopes that business along the main thoroughfare will once again pick up.
A group of about 40 to 50 people gathered at the northwest intersection of Mountain Avenue on Friday, Dec. 19 for the 2 p.m. ribbon cutting ceremony sponsored by the Town of Berthoud.
Leading off the opening remarks was Berthoud Mayor Tom Patterson who thanked business owners and residents for the patience during the project. "You put up with way more than you had to," Patterson said.
The mayor also thanked all of the contractors and subcontractors who worked on the project, along with several local and state organizations and finally all of the Town staff members involved with the project.
Town Administrator Jim White also noted that although there were some delays along the way, the wait was certainly worth it. Begun on June 23, the project originally was scheduled for completion around Thanksgiving although White had hoped for an earlier completion in October. Changes in the project scope and unexpected delays changed that outlook. "We're happy to get it paved and striped and ready to go for Christmas," White added.
When workers began removing the existing sewer, water and irrigation lines from deep below Mountain Avenue earlier this summer, they encountered several delays to address problems with hundred-year-old pipes and unmapped cables, pipes and lines. Water main breaks, rusty water and unplanned water outages soon became more frequent, frustrating business owners along Mountain Avenue trying to remain open.
Many business owners saw significant decreases, some as much as 50 percent or even higher, during the construction phase. Road closures were not only inconvenient for residents, but without readily available and easily accessed parking, many customers found it easier to shop in Loveland or Longmont.
Although not completely finished, much of the pain of the last six months should be at an end for now. Workers are still finishing up some remaining concrete work for the new sidewalks and curbs. Crews are also installing the remaining new streetlights which should be finished within the next week.
Patterson completed the ceremony by taking a two-foot big pair of scissors and cutting the ribbon strung across Mountain Avenue, completing one phase and anticipating another one on the road to downtown Berthoud.

Mayor Tom Patterson (center) is joined by Town staff members, construction managers, and others at the ceremony.

It seemed like such a good idea ...
Success is more and more difficult to come by for many companies. And mapping out new strategies to accomplish their goals has some businesses reassessing their more innovative procedures. One such initiatives now being rescinded at both Yahoo! and Best Buy involves allowing employees to work from home or telecommute. While the practice isn't completely gone, employees might need to get prior approval to do so.
Why make the change? Both companies' leaders decided that when situations necessitated all hands on deck everyone needed to be on the premises so all the brightest minds would be together and able to work in collaboration to foster the best solutions.
Is it any surprise that multiple minds work better than one? While brainstorming can occur via texting, email or social media, it certainly isn't the same nor is it as fast or as effective, as working side-by-side with someone or a group. Technology might be great for keeping people in touch and communicating some concepts, but it doesn't work well for the give-and-take dialogue that can be more valuable than the all-thumbs communication occurring with technology.
Some say bad management was the problem, rather than telecommuting, because such off-site work is a privilege requiring discipline and oversight. The matter of fairness comes up too, because to those employees without the work-from-home privileges, it just looks like paid playtime for certain employees.
Working from home presents its own number of distractions, but most good managers know you can't expect what you don't inspect. It is difficult to inspect what activities are happening by telecommuters unless the position has a lot metrics and results that show an employee's productivity and consequently their accountability.
Supervisors ultimately need to balance the interests of the company and employees because telecommuting can provide an important quality of life benefit for attracting and retaining employees.

Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes
Took me ages to finish this one !
I really don't know why I keep drawing him, I just love to ! It's weird because I'm not usually the "fan girl" type, I've never been drawing that much on one subject, and I'm not even actually obsessed with Sherlock series or anything but... God, this face !
It's just perfect to draw ! Very particular, with these incredible cheekbones and eyes and lips and hair... not exactly a "pretty" face, yet an extraordinary one.
I never get bored drawing Benedict.
(And as always, sorry for the poor quality of the image, I hate it... I still have no better option than to take a picture with my phone, I'll really have to buy a camera someday ^^)
Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it ! He is indeed truly fascinating ! There's nothing on his face that is ordinary. And his name goes really well with his appearance haha
Btw thank you sooo much for the Watch !

Alisa Fleming ~ If you asked for a top ten list of what the holidays mean to me, the number one, two, and three entries would be COOKIES! And in all-caps like that, too. A love for all things doughy and chewy is something that I've never outgrown, but my tolerance for tons of sugar has definitely diminished. So I was very excited to discover these pecan cookies from the cookbook Super Healthy Cookies by Hallie Klecker. The caramel-y coconut sugar, warm maple syrup, and of course, those pecans, make them perfect for the holiday season!
Speaking of maple syrup, Hallie always uses Grade B (even going so far as to note it in her recipes), and so do I. I had just never thought to mention it! Grade B maple syrup has a more full-bodied flavor compared to Grade A, so most bakers use Grade B almost exclusively.
Super Healthy Cookies uses a sweetness rating of 1, 2, or 3 spoons, three being the sweetest. The pecan cookies below received a 2-spoon rating – they are just sweet enough, but not Tollhouse sugary by any means. I think on my next batch, I'll have to incorporate some spices because, why not?
These pecan cookies are naturally grain-free, but if you need to make them egg-free and vegan, too, I suggest trying 2 tablespoons of dairy-free pumpkin butter or apple butter in place of the egg yolk. That just sounds amazing, doesn't it? Egg yolks emulsify and add richness, but it's the whites that provide binding. This recipe has enough "glue" from the rich load of nuts and the sticky maple syrup, but the egg yolk offers a buttery flavor. If you want sweeter cookie, I think you could even use 2 tablespoons of additional maple syrup in place of the egg yolk.
I'm all about cookies too! It's been a little ridiculous lately, actually. But I don't feel too guilty since they are all super healthy cookies
Totally with you on the holiday cookie excitement!! It's probably the biggest holiday tradition my family has But I also have lost taste for suuuper sweet and buttery cookies and I try to impress my family with healthier options each year…. so perhaps I will give these a try. I might as well buy that cookbook too – sounds perfect for me!
[…] you "try before you buy" types, Hallie shared her Nutty Almond Pecan Cookies Recipe with us. And here is a visual sampling of a few more of the recipes within Super Healthy […]
Healthy cookies are my kind of cookies!

Head Coach Norv Turner
On some previously injured players returning to practice today:
"We had a good session today. We adjusted our schedule a little bit so we could get some guys on the practice field that if we had a full speed (practice) and did everything we would normally do on a Wednesday, they would not participate. I thought we got a lot of good things done mentally. Defensively we played 91 snaps on Sunday. Offensively we had close to 70. There are a couple things we have to do to get our guys back physically and certainly mentally."
On what recently re-signed wide receiver Michael Spurlock can do for the team:
"He is familiar with what we do. He was here for a long time in terms of training camp and the start of the season. We've got a lot of guys beat up so he can come in and help us."
On the general mood in the locker room:
"I thought it was good today. I thought it was very businesslike. Mentally, we got the things done that we needed to get done. Tomorrow we will get out and have a normal Thursday practice and pick up the tempo to get our energy back."
On increasing wide receiver
"He is doing more on the side. We are getting to a point where you have to look at it and say, 'well what is the upside if he is able to come back and go? When does he actually get to where he can run routes? We are ways away from him having to make that decision.'"
On what the team will do at the strong safety position:
On the Chargers matching up better against the Bengals than Ravens:
"Every team provides different things. This team has great speed offensively on the outside that is a real challenge. We will have to do a good job of containing their big-play ability. They are first or second in the league in sacks. They are just behind Denver and they are very physical and fast in the defensive front. Those two issues, we'll have to manage. They will present a real challenge. It is a different matchup than Baltimore."
On linebacker
"Bront has been a special teams guy. He played the second half of the year and played at a high level in the kicking game. He has the ability to play a number of linebacker positions, where obviously we are getting very, very thin."
On linebacker
"He is going to get an opportunity. He took reps today and he will be in the mix with those guys."
On Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton:
"I think he is outstanding. He does not look like a young player. He has great confidence. He really has some guys that he can get the ball to and they do a great job of separating and getting open. They have done a great job of utilizing their personnel. They have one of the premiere receivers in the league and they do a good job of isolating him and getting him the ball."

Chuck Todd: 'The Tea Party Gets a Big Benefit' From Fox News' Promotion
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
On NBC's Meet The Press today, host David Gregory played a clip of FreedomWorks chairman Dick Armey claiming that the Tea Party movement is "the broad center of American politics." "I don't know if they're in the center," replied NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd. "When we did our own polling on this it's clear that the Tea Party gets a big benefit because there's one news organization that gives them a huge bump all the time," said Todd. "I mean their favorable rating among Fox viewers is through the roof and the rest of the country sort of doesn't know a lot about these folks." Watch it:
Indeed, as ThinkProgress has pointed out, Fox News has repeatedly rallied their viewers to support the Tea Parties. Before the April 15, 2009 Tea Parties, Fox dedicated 23 separate segments to the tea parties between April 6 and April 13 and ran at least 73 in-show and commercial promotions for the parties. After the 9/12 rally in Washington, Fox took out a full-page newspaper ad attacking its competitors for not covering the Tea Party like they did.

The fish on your plate may have been caught by a high-tech trawler, trapped by a lone fisher, farmed along with tons of others, or even stolen by pirates. It may have been captured in the South Atlantic, landed in Europe, and processed in China. Globalisation, North-South relations, changing attitudes and lifestyles, and the way we manage natural resources all influence fisheries.
This book uses the expertise of the OECD to assess these issues, and describes the challenges facing those who work in the industry. Apart from the fishers themselves and their families, it also draws on the points of view of NGOs, government specialists, scientists and independent experts.
This book includes StatLinks, URLs under graphs and tables linking to Excel® spreadsheets showing the underlying data
