Los Angeles Times - The work of artist Daniel Martin Diaz "is broodingly personal" with "a compelling, esoteric edge."
Drawing from old masters, Jan van Eyck, Pieter Bruegal, and Hieronymus Bosch, both in subject matter and in the ancient egg tempera and resin oil painting style, Diaz's depictions have a sincerity that exposes a seemingly endless devotion to reveal a higher meaning through painstaking craftsmanship. His use of a limited pallet on distressed wood, handmade wooden frames, and expressive use of Latin text allows Diaz's images to thrust us into another time and place, as though resurrecting relics from the past. Beneath the stained-glass-look and tortured faces lies a depth and richness of an otherworldly spiritual dimension. In this latest series of paintings, drawings and prints, Diaz delves into the supernatural realm and summons adaptations of end time prophecies and phenomenal consciousness.
Diaz's artwork has been exhibited in over 60 solo and group exhibitions in 17 states, and 12
countries, including three international touring exhibitions, DMD has been published in numerous
magazine and book publications, and has been acquired for the permanent collections of 12
art museums worldwide.

I continue to be amazed and inspired by many artists both past and present, who have been successful in capturing the complexities of the human spirit. We run from those things that we cannot explain. These are the things that we must attempt to explain through art. All the beauty and tragedy that is life. The world between imagination and completion is an infinite one. It is a solitary journey, yet the many paths are full of wanderers who are also searching and eager to share their findings.
Sacred Machine is a museum for the creations of world-renowned artist Daniel Martin Diaz, and wife, Paula Catherine Valencia. www.sacredmachine.com

"Do u hear the people sing," a banner at the protest in Hong Kong right now comes from the title of a song in Les Misérables, that hugely successful Broadway musical set during French Revolution.
This past June, Thailand's Junta warned protesters: "[T]hey are monitoring a new form of silent resistance to the coup — a three-fingered salute borrowed from "The Hunger Games" — and will arrest those in large groups who ignore warnings to lower their arms."
And of course, the Guy Fawkes mask from Alan Moore's comic book V for Vendetta, later adapted into a Hollywood movie, was adopted by various Occupy protestors.
Related, the Pink Bloque (2001-2005) was a Chicago-based radical feminist dance troupe challenging the white supremacist capitalist patriarchal empire one street dance party at a time.
The group used matching pink outfits, choreographed dance routines, and humor as tactics to draw attention. For instance, performing Janet Jackson's Nasty in front of Chicago Police Department, and Outkast's Hey Ya! at a pro-coice rally, and in the face of anti-abortion protestors.]]>
I found this not to be the case. Having just put my daughter through Kindergarten, her first engagements with teachers and classroom discipline were hardly invisible. In fact, navigating power and order was a hallmark of the year. As such, it was interesting to draw out other lessons from the experiences of these little people engaged with a bureaucracy for the very first time. So here are other things to know I learned from Kindergarten:
Added to my growing list of design manifestos.]]>
"Art can change the world, but seldom in the way it intends, and seldom the art that people think would have that effect.
I keep thinking of the Guy Fawkes mask Dave Gibbons drew. In discussions of what art is radical, mainstream comics are seldom brought up. And yet… I also think of an interview I read with Greenwald where he said that what convinced him of Snowden's sincerity about bringing forward his revelations was when Snowden told him he was inspired by video games and comic books.
There is radical, explicit art, but there's also art that worms into the culture and decades or centuries later bursts forward in unimagined effects."
For the families of the striking fire fighters, Christmas 1977 was going to be a difficult one. With little or no money coming in, celebrations, presents, and even food were on ration. But something quite wonderful happened on that Christmas Day in Merrie England, when four of the country's allegedly most reviled people brought happiness and festive gifts to the firefighters and their families.]]>
This was Christmas Day 1977, when The Sex Pistols played a benefit gig for the families of striking fire fighters at the Ivanhoe's club, Huddersfield, in the north of England.…

ABB's First US-Based Fast Charger For Electric Vehicles Ready For "Plug Ins" In New Berlin, Wisconsin
NEW BERLIN, Wis., Sept. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The first ABB (NYSE: ABB) DC fast charger for electric vehicles in the United States is now installed and operational in New Berlin, Wisconsin. ABB employs approximately 500 people in Wisconsin, where production for the chargers began in early September.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120919/CL77387 )
Called the Terra 51 direct current (DC) fast charger, the unit reduces EV charging times from eight hours to as little as 15 to 30 minutes for CHAdeMO-compatible battery electric vehicles.Underway "We plan to make this charging station accessible to the general public, so that owners of electric vehicles have local access to quick charging of their cars," said Cal Lankton, Director of EV Charging Infrastructure. The Terra 51 earned UL certification several weeks ago, which now puts the unit on the fast track for production and installation across the US, he said. Manufacture of the fast chargers is in ramp-up mode now at ABB's New Berlin Campus, with the first stateside units slated for installation in September. "Building out the infrastructure of fast chargers is in the early stages in North America," said Lankton, "but we now are underway." Vehicle owners will be able to use RFID cards, swipe them through the card reader on the Terra 51 and begin charging. Such fast-charging technology is designed to support electrical vehicles on a commercial basis, so that they can be used for distance travel or for quick "top-offs" during normal use, according to ABB. Additionally, ABB's chargers can be connected to any charging network or community via the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP), the widely adopted international open networking standard for charging equipment. Builds Interest in Purchase of Electric Vehicles Stefan Friedli, General Manager Power Electronics & MV Drives for ABB in the US, noted that a number of employees have been following closely the progress of the installation of the charger, and several have said it has helped them decide to purchase electric vehicles. "This station is just the first step in what we hope is an area-wide charging infrastructure network," stated Friedli. "Our goal is to help provide the residents of the greater Milwaukee area with a rich network of EV chargers, in order to enhance the user experience and drive adoption." ABB ( www.abb.com) is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 145,000 people. The company's North American operations, headquartered in Cary, North Carolina, employ over 27,000 people in multiple manufacturing, service and other major facilities. SOURCE ABB

Mon, May 03, 2010
Too much for one day, here are more of David's observations from
the Fly-In and Air Show in Lakeland last month.
Did you notice the beautiful Jet Exec in Choppertown? "Blue
Thunder" has an awesome paint job, plenty of power, extreme
maneuverability, and it's the envy of any bird flying. Absolutely
first class. Problem was, nobody knew who owned it, or where he
was. Even the Rotorway people didn't seem to know who owned it.
Hmmm. Strange. Oh well, if it's not owned by anybody, maybe I
should just take it home with me. Actually, checking the FAA
records, it is owned by Matthew Haasen. Great build, Matt.
I've been down to Choppertown in years past where every now and
then someone might fly. Not this year! If you went down there, you
probably couldn't miss the gyroplanes flying. You
could hardly keep them out of the air. They were constantly flying
close patterns and making numerous touch-n-go landings. Funny thing
about gyroplane pilots, they can't seem to wait to get in the air.
Then they beat the air to death mercilessly, and talk it to death
when they land. Yah got to love them. They're pure aviators. The
Dominator, Butterfly and Sport Copter were the culprits.
Did you notice the big X on the main taxiway? It is a lighted
closure marking used for closing runways to any aircraft
operations. They were using this runway for static displays, so
there is a marker at each end. It means stop, don't land, don't
take-off, don't use! Notice the Pircairn Autogiro to the left of
On Friday, you may have missed the fact that one of the Thunderbird solo jets disappeared in
the middle of their show. I watched it climb to altitude and head
out. Their show stopped for a few minutes and then resumed.
Probably a safety divert. The show finished with five planes
instead of six. Glad to see that safety is foremost. That's what
makes them so professional.
You might have missed seeing the tactical operator positions
onboard the big Customs P-3 aircraft (the one with the big radome
on it). But if you're in the air or on the water, they won't miss
you! See that scope? They have several of them on board. The plane
is used for aircraft intercept and maritime patrol. They can track
thousands of targets, and control multiple simultaneous intercepts
with each sweep of the radar, which covers over six million cubic
miles. If you're smuggling, they'll make friends with you real
quick. If you're struggling, they can coordinate air/sea rescue for
you. Everything moving in the air, or on the water within that
area, is under their scrutiny. The Customs & Border Patrol
division of Homeland Security operates it. We're thankful for the
work they do protecting our borders from terrorists and drugs.
They're a great group of people.
If you didn't look quick, you might have missed Julie Clark
flying her airplane full bore out of her trailer (just
kidding). Hey Zoom, Julie said hello. Classy lady. Great stick.
You may have missed the difference between the nose art on the
A-10's that were parked on the warbird flight line. One has a shark
on the nose and the other two have warthogs on their nose.
Why the
difference? The shark nosed A-10 is from Moody AFB,
and it belongs to the 23rd Fighter Group. The 23rd FG has a rich
and illustrious history. The Group traces its roots back to the
23rd Pursuit Group (Interceptor), constituted at Langley Field, VA,
17 December 1941, just 10 days after the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor. Today, the 23rd FG carries on the tradition of the first
and foremost Flying Tiger, Lt. Gen. Claire Lee Chennault. As such,
they are now the only Air Force unit authorized to display the
shark on their nose. I wouldn't want to tangle with either shark or
warthog. That 30MM Gatling gun in the nose shoots 3900 rounds a
You may have missed the cockpit of this grand old lady. It
belongs to a DC-3, operated by the FAA for flight inspections. Born in
1945, N34 has been in government service her entire life. At age
65, she's still serving the public and keeping us safe. She
is one of only two moveable items on the National Register of
Historic Places. The other is San Francisco's famed cable cars.
You may have missed the cargo aircraft heritage flight. A
reciprocating engine Army Caribou flying in formation with an Air
Force C-17 Globemaster III. What a sight! I'm only guessing, but I
suspect the formation speed was around 150 knots, which is nearly
the cruise speed of the Caribou. 115 knots is the C-17's approach
speed, so 150 knots would have worked for both of them. There's at
least 22 years of history between the two designs.
You may have missed the hands-on engine display at the Lockwood
Aviation Supply booth. Each Rotax engine being
displayed was on a 360 swivel. You could rotate it, look at
it, touch it, and closely examine any component of the engine. And
they were right on the front counter where you could easily get at
them. Now if I could just slide that engine under my coat. Oops.
Sorry. A very impressive display, and an excellent sales technique.
Good job, Lockwood Aviation.
Meanwhile, from the ANN staff, we'll add one of our own. You
might have missed this unusual-looking homebuilt amphibian, looking
perfectly at home near a Florida swamp. The sign on the airplane
said it is the Sunshine Clipper Amphibian Biplane ... a
one-of-a-kind, ameteur-built, novelty-hull amphibian. She'll cruise
at 58 mph on her C-85 engine, and yes that is a plastic lawn chair
for a pilots' seat. (Tom Patton, News Editor)

BabyComfyNose Features Breathing Easy For Babies On "The Balancing Act" On Lifetime TV
Press Release
Published: August 13, 2012
Add Comment!
The BabyComfyNose aspirator can be used on newborn babies until your child learns to blow their own nose.
The BabyComfyNose aspirator can be used on newborn babies until your child learns to blow their own nose.
(Pompano Beach, FL - August, 2012) BabyComfyNose is being featured on the popular women's empowerment show "The Balancing Act" on Lifetime Television. Peter Champe, President, appears on an episode of "The Balancing Act" airing on Tuesday, August 14th at 7 a.m. (ET/PT) on Lifetime TV.
BabyComfyNose is a human suction type nasal aspirator used to remove mucus from children's noses. It is 7-10 times stronger than a bulb or battery-powered aspirator (depending upon user's suction strength). Removing mucus from children's noses helps to prevent secondary infections such as earaches and sinusitis according to pediatricians.
The design of the BabyComfyNose prevents the liquid and mucus from being sucked up the tube and into the user's mouth, ensuring that the bacteria won't be spread to someone else.

text: German clinic denies Schumacher rehab reports 5 June, 2014 A German rehabilitation clinic has denied that one of its current patients is Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher. The former Ferrari and Mercedes driver's manager Sabine Kehm said in April that, after Schumacher began showing signs of waking from his long coma, the "plan" was to relocate him from the hospital in Grenoble, France. "Our plan and our desire would be that from the moment in which Michael can go into a rehab clinic, this media coverage will stop," Kehm told ARD television. Radio 7 claimed on Wednesday that Schumacher, who turned 45 after his near-fatal skiing fall, is now recovering at the Kliniken-Schmieder neurological rehab hospital in Allensbach, Germany. But the German news agency DPA said that a spokesman for the clinic specifically denied the Radio 7 report. DPA added that Schumacher is still at the hospital in Grenoble, where he has been since he struck his head on rocks at the Meribel ski resort in late December last year.

2014 has already been a major year for Kelly Rowland, who tied the knot and reunited with her Destiny's Child sisters on Michelle Williams's "Say Yes."
Now Kelly is saying yes to another life change: motherhood!
She seemingly confirmed the rumors on Tuesday night, sharing a photo of a pair of baby shoes next to adult-sized Air Jordans with a caption reading, "I'll be stuntin like my daddy....."
Perez Hilton reports that the newlywed attended the "Think Like a Man Too" premiere – with Michelle, no less – sporting an uncharacteristically reserved ensemble.
Kelly wore a black Dolce blazer and slacks with a blouse that, while not hiding much at the top, was rather loose-fitting in the stomach region.
As previously reported, "Say Yes," featuring Beyonce along with Kelly and Michelle, was released earlier this month. Kelly released her last solo album, "Talk A Good Game," last June.

Russell Wilson became the first quarterback out of ten to throw 30 passes against Chicago without having any picked off. Â He ran away with the most DYAR last week. Â He has five straight multi-touchdown games and only two turnovers in that stretch.
Golden Tate broke four tackles. He now has eleven on the season, a strong number for a wide receiver.
Peyton Manning leads the league in games with a QBR over 90. He has seven, including Thursday night's effort.
Atlanta gained 122 of their 126 rushing yards against New Orleans between the tackles.
Colin Kaepernick did not lead many scoring drives but he had an adjusted accuracy rate of 85.7%. He did not attempt any passes 20+ yards downfield. San Francisco faces Miami next, and the Dolphins allow the second highest QBR on play outside the pocket.
Chad Henne had a 114.6 rating when throwing to Cecil Shorts. The Mount Union product scored for the fourth consecutive game.
Arizona quarterbacks have completed just 48.7% of passes aimed at Larry Fitzgerald. Going out on a limb here, but that is not Larry's fault.
Chris Givens caught eleven passes on thirteen targets, beating six different defensive backs. He is a great sleeper for Week 14.
All three of Jake Locker's interceptions were on deflected passes.
In 2011 Ray Rice caused a missed tackle on 5.4% of his rushing attempts. This year he increased the rate to 8.1%.
Reggie Wayne increased his yards per route run from 1.66 to 2.11 with Andrew Luck at quarterback instead of 2011's flotsam and jetsam.
DeSean Jackson is not making fantasy players happy but he is playing better this year. He slashed his drops from nine to one so far while being more elusive.
Mike Williams' deep route rate by year: 37.5%, 22.6%, 37.6%. Going downfield more often clearly agrees with him.
Rob Gronkowski was crushing all other tight ends in receiving productivity. He led with 2.42 yards per route run. The also injured Fred Davis is second with 1.96. The difference between second and tenth is only 0.20 yards.
Jimmy Graham's drop rate has increased significantly, from 5.8% to 14.5%.
Frank Gore (37) is behind only Adrian Peterson on runs of 10+ yards. Bryce Brown has sixteen in roughly 37.5% of Gore's carries.
Mario Manningham saw three red zone targets.

December 22 2014 Latest news:
By ALEX HURRELL, Reporter
Wednesday, June 6, 2012
A planning application has been lodged for two 24.8m wind turbines on north Norfolk farmland.
Applicant John McLeod wants to site the 11kw Gaia turbines east of East Ruston, near Stalham, on land at his Old Manor Farm, on Long Common Road.
In a letter to villagers, Mr McLeod says the turbines would power the farm and farmhouse and would be far enough away from other properties to avoid disturbance.
The application, to North Norfolk District Council, had prompted 22 responses by June 6, all in favour of the scheme, with 20 of the 22 supporters living in East Ruston.
But villager William Ward said he knew of at least 15 other residents, including himself and partner Karen Turner, who would be objecting strongly to the plan.
"These particular turbines have an eye-jarring look - there are no aesthetically-pleasing lines about them. They are horrendously ugly - as if a bloke in a boiler suit had put them together in his garage," said Mr Ward, who estimated that his Back Road cottage, which currently overlooks fields and distant Happisburgh Church, would be about 400m from the nearest turbine. The two-bladed structures would be mounted on tapering, cross-latticed supports.
He also disputes Mr McLeod's claim that the turbines would not create a noise nuisance for neighbouring homes: "That's ridiculous. You can hear the sea four miles away - you can hear a pin drop round here," Mr Ward added.
He also fears that, if the application is approved, it would open the floodgates and other turbine applications for the area would follow.
"You are starting a precedent," said Mr Ward. "It he gets permission for these two, there is no reason why he couldn't fill up his land with them."
Mr Ward said he was not against renewable energy schemes but believed onshore wind turbines would not generate enough electricity to be truly sustainable. They were "vastly subsidised" and their manufacture and erection involved substantial energy use.
"They are an opportunity for people to make money out of everybody else," he said. "I am already paying for renewable energy through my electricity bill. Unfortunately it's people like myself and my neighbours who have to bear the consequences of these applications."
● Toby Mermagen, of Manor Farm, Alby, has submitted a single turbine application for an Alby Farming Company site between Aldborough and Erpingham.
The pale-white wind turbine, a 50kW Endurance E-3120 model, would measure 34.2m to blade tip. The proposed site is on land south of Town Green.

Weavers way. And the best place to put them is where it is windy!! Offshore, the only place for these things. No noise concerns, plenty wind (at least compared with a field in rural Norfolk) and best of all......no otherwise happy communities being divided by (usually) wrong opinions. AND they won't be in your, mine or Mr T's back yard either!
Friday, June 8, 2012
Whenever there is an application to develop an alternative energy source, be it wind or solar, there will be "fors and against" people will quote facts, well, some facts and some fiction, and if we never tried anything we would never develop anything, at some point we have all said "let's give it a go and see if it works" but people seem reluctant to accept progress, or at least the development of attempts at progress. As stated by Weaversway "the majority do not want them too near their homes", so what he is saying wraps it all up very nicely, We would like to see better energy sources developed but "Not In My Back Yard". Now that rings a bell.........
Friday, June 8, 2012
This article paragraph 3 states - "The application, to North Norfolk District Council, had prompted 22 responses by June 6, all in favour of the scheme, with 20 of the 22 supporters living in East Ruston." How convenient that practically all the local supporters for this commercial project are the wealthy land owner applicant's local family, influential village-set friends, colleagues and tenants. The Parish Council has already objected and many concerned local people from around the village will be submitting some very valid objections.

Best way to save money and energy is to turn things off when they are not being used including energy saving lamps etc. That's the biggest problem.
Wednesday, June 6, 2012
BV, acording to the government, the cost of electricity to the consimer will rise by over 30% as a result of the renewable energy programme. Most informed people believe that this is a significant underestimate but we will be stuck with it anyway. It will place millions of people into fuel poverty. Higher energy costs in UK will also cost jobs as industry becomes un competitive, a concern that is already being expressed by industry. All as a result of the myth of CO2 causing global warming, something that is not happening.
Thursday, June 7, 2012
It seems to me there is a lot of misunderstanding (and possible jealousy) here. I wonder if William Ward and Karen Turner have stood underneath one of these turbines themselves? The UK planning laws are extremely stringent, especially so when it comes to wind turbines and especially to the noise they make. The acceptable noise level at a neighbouring property is 35 dba which is quieter than a library! I suggest that no matter what turbine it was William and Karen would complain (unless they would like to suggest one that looks ok to them!). Re. Mr. McLeod filling up his whole land with them - have they any idea how impossible that would be, even if he had the money to do so, with planning laws as they are in the UK? Finally if Mr. Ward can hear the sea from 4 miles away I suggest therein lye's the problem. He has the best hearing in the world and I suggest he refrains from activities that create any noise. I suggest that if Mr. McLeod is going for 2 x 11kW turbines he has already considered his neighbours by not going for a single larger turbine which would be more economical for him. NB. I have no affiliation or association whatever with this wind turbine project or with Mr. McLeod.
Wednesday, June 6, 2012
Arthur B and Sayitasitis, just to make a point and prove your "statistics" wrong, I live very close to this proposed development, have no connection with the developer, do not even know those concerned and wouldn't even recognise them, however I fully support this proposal and would happily have one in my garden. Why are people so against these developments? We all admit they are not a full solution, but surely, every little helps, why not support it and see how it goes as opposed to just shunning it, if it is a flop what has it cost you? Nothing. And please don't keep harping on about subsidies etc.
Thursday, June 7, 2012
There is quite a bit of support for these turbines from the village and this should be taken into consideration. NIMBYs always seem to make a lot more noise than these units will ever make. They just need something to complain about.
Wednesday, June 6, 2012
Mr. T, with all due respect, you are doing what others do, saying a reasonable demand not to have huge turbines near homes is somehow the next best thing to being a Luddite. I reiterate. After proper eonomic considerations, windfarms andor power stations may have a place. They should be sited in areas away from homes and BRING the energy to the people, not the other way around. What is reactionary about that?.
Friday, June 8, 2012
Yes, Ian, I agree. It's what I've politely being trying to say.
Friday, June 8, 2012
Arthur B That caught my eye too, I thought "how nice it must be to have your family, and friends, all 22 of them, living so close, indeed nearly all in East Ruston" and all voting for your wee turbines! A little different to real statistics then, the unwanted and unpopular N Walsham planning application, just now stands at 918 against, 86.9% of the responses to their application at NNDC, a slightly different ratio, I think you will agree!
Thursday, June 7, 2012
David Ranbotham. Are you really suggesting that rising energy prices are due to renewable energy insentives? If so, I rest my case. Also - have you any idea of the evidence regarding the damage fossil fuels have done to the environment in one way or another or have you buried your head in the sand?
Wednesday, June 6, 2012
The dash for cash and politics, not saving the planet, are the driving forces behind wind energy. Are you disillusioned by rising electricity prices, over dependence on the "green" dream [especially uneconomical and inefficient wind farms] and the destruction of our countryside then please object to the Government by GOOGLING "E-PETITION 22958″ and following the link.
Wednesday, June 6, 2012
Where ever there are new or proposed developments there will be objections, and sometimes very sound ones. Remember all the fuss over Bacton terminal, Sizewell, just to mention those close to us. I fully agree with your comments about building wind farms offshore, Sheringham Shoals is an ideal example, a large commercial industry. The proposals for East Ruston are to power a farm, not the whole village for goodnes sake, they would be out of the way and no problem to anyone. There would potentially be two, modern day windmills in the middle of a huge field. I would willingly have one in my garden but I doubt if my neighbours would approve, even though it wouldn't be in their back yard!
Saturday, June 9, 2012
Lets see if he still wants to build them after the subsidies are removed. Why should i pay for him to have cheap power?
Wednesday, June 6, 2012
Mr T We will most definitely continue to "harp on" about subsidies. Why should I pay your neighbour to generate electricity and be paid for it by MY utility bill at a far higher rate than I pay for my conventionally generated electricity. If your neighbour decided to erect whatever turbines he wanted at HIS expense and then, simply used his own home-made electrical power to power his home etc, then no-one would either care or complain. As to your strange views on statistics, 89.6% against compared with, it seems 100% for is iffy....at best! I expect your response will manage to fit in the NIMBY word!
Thursday, June 7, 2012

Wednesday, June 6, 2012
Presumably relying on the National Grid when it's not windy and financing them with the subsidies that the rest of us pay on our utility bills. How so very green!
Wednesday, June 6, 2012
There would be much more light than heat, or energy than cost, if we weren't left with the bad taste that turbines have become a cash cow for landowners
Thursday, June 7, 2012
"why not support it and see how it goes" says Mr. T. Not sure a suck it and see, policy is very scientific or something we should go on paying huge subsidies to landowner for, hoping it will all work out. As said before turbines may have a place, but the majority do not want them too near their homes. Simply suggestion, I would contend

The capital abstraction abaft the appliance of Mehndi on the Indian brides calmly and/or anxiety is to accomplish her feel like a princess!
A Bit about Mehndi
Mehndi was frequently acclimated as a anatomy of adornment mainly for brides. Over the years however, the appliance of Mehndi or chestnut has become accepted with anybody and is activated on occasions added than weddings like on Diwali and Eid.

The appliance of this admixture helps to accompany out a stronger color, if so desired.
There are abounding altered styles of mehndi, depending on the arena from which they appear from. The a lot of accepted types are Arabic, Pakistani, African and Indian, the designs of which are calmly apparent from the other.
Arabic Mehndi contains beneath data and intricacy, while the blush is actual dark. In fact, accouterment and leaves with admirable flowers are the brand of Arabic Mehndi.
Pakistani Mehndi on the added hand, is the a lot of abundant and intricate of the lot. It appropriately goes after adage that the appliance of this blazon of Mehndi is time consuming.
Indian Mehndi can be articular because of the attendance of either a big dot or amount fatigued on the centermost of the approach or on the aback of the hand. Further, ones feel tips are consistently absolutely black if applying Indian Mehndi.
African Mehndi although rarely alleged for Mehndi appliance is aswell actual pretty. One can differentiate this affectionate of Mehndi from the blow due to the attendance of intricate geometric abstracts and dots.
The appliance of Mehndi is associated with a acceptable amount of things. One such angle goes that the darker the blush of the brides Mehndi, the added her husband-to-be will adulation her. An absorbing aspect of Mehndi appliance is the assimilation of both the helpmate and grooms names in the Mehndi design. Until the benedict has begin both the names, it is said that their marriage night will not commence. Lastly, a custom followed in affiliation to the appliance of Mehndi states that a helpmate should never footfall out of the abode until the Mehndi commemoration has appear to an end.
An Indian marriage as a lot of apperceive already takes abode over a acceptable amount of canicule and comprises of abounding pre-wedding functions. The Mehndi anniversary is one of them.

Since 2003, Jenny Kaiser has been serving the patients of SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center. She has been an SSM nurse since 2004, serving in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) as a nurse, charge nurse, and member of the ECMO Team.
Because of her experience in the neonatal setting, caring for babies that require a higher level of care and working with families, she says, "I was especially drawn to the innovation of the St. Louis Fetal Care Institute and the services it offers mother's-to-be faced with a high-risk pregnancy."
In 2011, she made the move from a SSM Network Education Consultant, providing specialized NICU/ Special Care Nursery nursing education to all six of the SSM St. Louis Region hospitals, to the St. Louis Fetal Care Institute where she regularly meets with clinic patients as a liaison between the specialists at Cardinal Glennon and the patients prenatal care provider.
"As a member of the St. Louis Fetal Care Institute Team, I have an opportunity to connect with our families and enhance their prenatal experience. I am fortunate and often times humbled by their strength when dealing with healthcare issues they had not anticipated. During my career in the St. Louis Fetal Care Institute, I have been fascinated by the collaboration and efficiency of our multi-disciplinary team. To work alongside such brilliant and compassionate physicians is also truly rewarding," she says.
"Knowing I have been able to make your situation a bit better, even on difficult days, when the circumstances are far from perfect, is what this job is all about," explains Jenny.
Jenny received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville School of Nursing, and recently received her certification in Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing from the National Certification Corporation. Jenny is an avid traveler, enjoys outdoor activities such as running and cycling, especially with her husband, Matthew and daughter, Natalie. She also enjoys photography and sewing.

Baby's Best Blankies
Blankies, lovies, night-nights, security blankets, woobies, dee-dees….most kids end up hanging on dearly to one of their baby blankets. My own favorite "blankie" was a white thermal blanket with a thick satin white edge. I loved the corners to death. My mom always tells me a story about how we went to visit my grandparents in another town, and we forgot it at their house. I couldn't sleep until it arrived via FedEx the next day. I guess you could say that I was slightly attached. I finally gave it up at a late age, after being bribed with a Cabbage Patch Kid.
Barefoot Dreams ~ Barefoot Buddies ~ Nordstrom
For my first child's baby shower, my brother and his wife sent the sweetest monogrammed pale blue blankie with a little puppy attached, made by Barefoot Dreams. This blankie even made it into my son's newborn hospital photo. He ended up loving it (I promise, I gave him other options) and we ended up with 3 of them that were rotated for washing. When he started talking, he lovingly named it "night-night". We have no idea where that came from, but it was sweet, nonetheless. His night-nights are now saved in his memory box and I pull them out once in awhile to show him. Even though he's 4 1/2, they always bring a sweet smile to his face.
Before my daughter was born, I decided that she had to have the Barefoot Dreams blankie, too. In pink, of course, with the little bunny instead of the puppy. I'm a little particular and when I get ideas in my head, I usually see them through. So, without fail, her sweet little pink blankie made it into her newborn photo. She also fell in love with her little blankies, and they quickly became known as night-nights, as well. She still cuddles and sleeps with her night-night every night.
I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorite blankets that I've purchased in the past for baby showers {top collage}, including cozy ones made by Little Giraffe, Petunia Pickle Bottom, My Blankee & Swaddle Designs. I also did a little searching today on Etsy, and found adorable ones made by My Wooby & Me, Mod Baby, and Rags & Ribbons {collage below}.

My son Nicholas is addicted to his Angel Dear blankets. He calls them "bays" (not sure where it came from) but he takes them everywhere and no other blanket will do. and trust me, we've tried to substitute when we've forgotten them at home. They come in all sorts of animals and are made with the softest cashmere.. we love them!

Both of my girls have favorite Blankies and both are blankies that nanna made for them
My oldest is 7 yrs old and her Blankie is ready for the rag bag but she will not give it up for nothing!!! Nanna has made her several new blankies trying to get her to put away her old one but there is no way this is going to happen. She will put it away for a day or 2 but as soon as she is feeling ill or a little bit down out comes binkie to cuddle with.
My youngest it 2 and nanna was wise enough to make 2 identical blankies for her so that we can rotate them and hopefully keep them healthier a little longer. Her "mine" as she calls her blankie goes everywhere she goes. We never have any trouble getting her to sleep while on holidays as long as her "mine" is with her.

My son loved his "little giraffe" brand blankie. too cute! My little Caitlyn has a special blankie and lovie that I made for her while I was "nesting"…I am planning to do her first birthday in pink and brown giraffe theme to match the blankie :)

I am so glad to hear that you are able to wash the barefoot dreams blankets! I received the bunny one just like your daughter's when our second daughter arrive 8 weeks ago…the tag says you can't wash the animal part, but that you can wash the blanket…when I wrote them to ask how I was supposed to keep it clean they said to only spot clean it–I haven't given it to her yet for that reason, but since you have had success with washing, I guess I will go ahead and introduce it! any specific advice you can offer on the cleaning? i don't want to ruin it–it is so precious!

I was curious about washing the blankets too. I was thinking if you wash it on the delicate cycle that it might be okay. I really want to get one of these for my sister's baby, due in July. She also has a 4 year old, and I got her a blanket similar to barefoot dreams one from Wal-mart, but it did not hold up too well.

My daughter, who just turned 15, has a handmade blanket that was given to her when she was born. It is so cute ~~ paper dolls fabric with her name appliqued across the bottom! It is practically falling apart…I've repaired it several times, but it continues to lose it's battle with the washer! The batting is showing in several areas, too! Since I handmake baby items, including personalized blankets, through my own etsy shop, I have offered to make her a new one, but she just won't part with her blanket! Oh well…..

Victoria – Your son & his "bays" are adorable!
Kim – So cute…."mine!"
Colleen – Your blankies are so cute and cuddly…I love the giraffe print!
Ashley/Sonya – The puppies/bunnies on the Barefoot Buddies, do eventually fall off. I washed the entire blankie/stuffed animal constantly. Of course, it loses it's original softness after months of washing, but the kids still love them! :) I think they say to air dry it (same with the Little Giraffe ones), to keep them soft…but I always throw them in the dryer and they seem just fine!
Karen – That was so me…..wouldn't let go, even though it was falling apart! :)
Thanks for your comments, ladies!
When I was expecting my son, I was given a Barefoot Dreams blanket as well. Little cream colored lovey with a brown bear. For those who have never touched a Barefoot Dreams blanket fresh from its gift box, it is heavenly. Ethan developed a love affair with the blanket and I panicked that one day that sucker might get lost. Yes, I bought a replacement just in case. Bear Number One became quite tattered and Bear Two was following suite. I bought Bear Number Three. You would think I could have, should have, would have put one or two away but my baby had different plans. Ethan, who once called his bear "Bear-Bear" soon started taking the trio to bed and renamed them "The Guys".
A little over five years now, he is not so dependent on The Guys, but beams when he snuggles in with one after any absence.

My now four year old daughter received a Little Giraffe blanket from my former boss's mom and dad right after she was born. It's the one with the chenille on one side and the satin on the other, with the satin trim. I was afraid to give it to her for awhile because it was so soft and I was afraid if she spit up on it and I had to wash it, the softness would go away too quick. But once I did finally let her have it, it quickly became a favorite. She turned four in December and to this day, it is still her favorite blanket and a must have for couch lounging and bedtime. She calls it "Cold Blankie" because of the satin side, and when she is using it to cover, the satin side MUST be the side that touches her. She also has "Bear Blankie" which is a formerly white, now kind of gray, little blanket with a bear head and arms. She's had that ever since she was born and it is also one of the items she must take with her and have at bedtime. She has been so attached, that for her second birthday I baked a cake and made her bear blankie out of fondant to put on top (and it was pretty cute, if I do say so myself). The third is "Yellow Blankie" which is actually more of a cream, and is the Classic Pooh blanket my brother and s-i-l got her when she was born.
As for my son, who is now 10 months old, he also received a Little Giraffe blanket (this time from my former boss instead of his parents), however, I haven't really let him use it yet :) He sleeps with his Puppy blanket, that his sister picked out and is like her Bear Blankie. So far he isn't attached like she is!

An old friend just sent me a Little Giraffe blanket as a gift, it is about the softest thing ever and I can't wait to use it!
Pingback: My Blankee | Project Nursery()
I gave my baby niece (she's 7 now) a pink Little Giraffe Blanket for Christmas when she was a couple months old. (I actually got hit by a yellow cab that was backing down Post Street in the middle of the crazy 4 days before Christmas, shopping insanity while trying to pick it up before the store closed LOL. I HAD to have that blanket from Gumps!). Anyway, so when my nephew was born, I had to get him a blue one. He hasn't touched the blue one because he took his sisters haha. Her's (now his) is so worn out after 7 years of washing. It's falling apart, but he loves it. It's his blankee, never mind that it was his Sissy's and he has a blue one haha. I just love it.
I give them at all the baby showers now.

oPatientPlus articles are written by UK doctors and are based on research evidence, UK and European Guidelines. They are designed for health professionals to use, so you may find the language more technical than the condition leaflets.
Synonyms: acute laryngotracheitis, acute laryngotracheobronchitis
Some consider that the term croup should not be used to describe illness affecting the bronchi, as there is a higher likelihood of secondary bacterial infection in such cases.
Croup tends to be relatively mild and self-limiting, but can cause distressing symptoms such as a barking cough and stridor that may prompt parents to bring their child to their GP or local emergency department. Severe cases may compromise the upper airway and so the condition of the child needs to be assessed carefully and other causes of upper airway obstruction (such as inhaled foreign body and epiglottitis) must be considered and excluded.
- Viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) causes nasopharyngeal inflammation that may spread to the larynx and trachea, causing subglottal inflammation, oedema and compromise of the airway at its narrowest portion.
- The movement of the vocal cords is impaired leading to the characteristic cough. Occasionally, fibrinous exudation with pseudomembrane formation may occur, causing further airway compromise.
- It is thought that some children who suffer recurrent bouts of spasmodic croup have a primarily allergic rather than infective aetiology for subglottal oedema.[1]

Causative organisms
- Parainfluenza virus types I, II, III and IV (thought to be responsible for about 80% of cases - type I causing 50-70% of severe cases).[1]
- Respiratory syncytial virus.
- Adenoviruses.
- Rhinoviruses.
- Enteroviruses.
- Measles.
- Metapneumovirus.
- Influenza A and B (type A is associated with severe disease).
- Mycoplasma pneumoniae (rare cause).
- Croup most often affects children aged 6 months to 3 years, with a peak incidence during the second year of life. However, children as young as 3 months of age, or adolescents and, very rarely, adults can be affected.[2]
- The annual incidence is variable depending on the cyclical prevalence of viral infection (particularly parainfluenza virus) in children.
- The incidence is about 60 per 1,000 child years in those aged between one and two years.[3]
Risk factors
- Male:female preponderance is about 1.5-2:1.[1]
- Most common in those aged 6 months to 3 years.
- Rare in those older than 6 years of age, but can affect some children up to the early teenage years.
- Most prevalent in autumn and spring.
- Croup normally starts with nonspecific symptoms of viral URTI, such as runny nose, sore throat, fever and cough.
- This progresses over the course of a couple of days to include the characteristic barking cough and hoarseness. These symptoms tend to be worse at night.
- There is a high degree of variability in clinical findings. There may be a mild-to-moderate fever. Check vital signs (including temperature, pulse and blood pressure).
- A barking cough and hoarse cry are nearly always present.
- Stridor (harsh, low-pitched noise heard during inspiration) may be heard at rest or only when the child is agitated or active.
- Chest sounds are usually normal but can be decreased in volume where there is severe airflow limitation.
- Respiratory distress with marked tachypnoea and intercostal recession may be noted. A child who appears to be deteriorating but whose stridor appears to be improving and intercostal recession disappears has worsening airways obstruction and is at high risk of complete airway occlusion.[2]
- Drowsiness, lethargy, cyanosis despite increasing respiratory distress should be considered as red flags for impending respiratory failure.
- The illness tends to last for about 3-7 days but can persist for up to two weeks.
Differential diagnosis
- Epiglottitis.
- Inhaled foreign body.
- Inhaled noxious substance.
- Acute anaphylaxis.
- Bacterial tracheitis.
- Diphtheria.
- Laryngomalacia or another congenital cause of upper airway stenosis (eg aortic arch abnormality causing external airway compression).
- Peritonsillar abscess (quinsy).
- Retropharyngeal abscess.
- Angioneurotic oedema.
- Laryngeal mucosal lesions such as laryngeal web, papillomata and haemangioma.
- Vocal cord paralysis.
Assessment of severity
There are many clinical scoring systems for croup. The most commonly cited is the Westley clinical scoring system which classifies cases into mild, moderate or severe.[1]
It appears to be useful as a research tool to assess the efficacy of interventions, but there is little proof of its clinical usefulness.[1] The classification of symptoms it uses can be subjective and open to inter- and intra-observer variation.
An overall assessment of the patient's condition, taking into account the red flags listed above, SaO2 readings and the degree of respiratory distress, may be an equivalent and simpler guide to deciding what therapy is required.
The modified Westley clinical scoring system for croup
- Inspiratory stridor:
- Not present - 0 points.
- When agitated/active - 1 point.
- At rest - 2 points.
- Intercostal recession:
- Mild - 1 point.
- Moderate - 2 points.
- Severe - 3 points.
- Air entry:
- Normal - 0 points.
- Mildly decreased - 1 point.
- Severely decreased - 2 points.
- Cyanosis:
- None - 0 points.
- With agitation/activity - 4 points.
- At rest - 5 points.
- Level of consciousness:
- Normal - 0 points.
- Altered - 5 points.
Possible score 0-17: <4 = mild croup, 4-6 = moderate croup, >6 =severe croup.
Hospital admission[2]
Most children will have mild croup, which can be managed at home. Immediate admission to hospital is required for:
- Moderate or severe croup, or impending respiratory failure.
- Any suspicion of epiglottitis, bacterial tracheitis, peritonsillar abscess, retropharyngeal abscess, or laryngeal diphtheria.
- Any suspicion of inhaled foreign body, angioneurotic oedema, hypocalcaemic tetany, or ingestion of corrosives.
Consider admission to hospital if any of the following are present:
- History of severe obstruction, previous severe croup, or known structural upper airways abnormalities (eg laryngomalacia, tracheomalacia, vascular ring, Down's syndrome).
- Age less than 6 months.
- Immunocompromised.
- Inadequate fluid intake.
- Poor response to initial treatment.
- Uncertain diagnosis.
- Significant parental anxiety, late evening or night-time presentation, the child's home is a long way from the hospital, or the parents have no transport.
The diagnosis is usually made on clinical grounds but the following investigations may be indicated:
- A low SaO2 on pulse oximetry (<95%) indicates significant respiratory impairment.
- FBC may reveal a viral pattern differential white cell count, but is rather nonspecific.
- Viral titres are used on occasion to decide whether patients should be treated in isolation, or to indicate a need for antiviral therapy in the case of influenza A.
- X-rays:
- Plain CXR can exclude other causes such as inhaled foreign body, epiglottitis, bacterial tracheitis or retropharyngeal abscess.
- Postero-anterior CXR, including the neck area, may reveal the 'steeple sign', which is the presence of a steeple-shaped narrowing of the darker area caused by air in the upper trachea, revealing the subglottal narrowing of the airway. Follow the link to the next reference for an image of this sign.[1]
- Lateral neck radiographs may also be employed to demonstrate a distended hypopharynx during inspiration.[4]
- These X-ray findings are not very specific or sensitive, with a significant false-positive rate, and up to 50% of croup sufferers do not have these findings.
- Direct or indirect laryngoscopy is not usually required but may be employed where the course of the illness is atypical or there is reason to suspect a congenital or other alternative cause for upper airway obstruction.
- Do not give antibiotics unless there are sound clinical reasons to suspect secondary bacterial infection.
- Keep the child as calm and as comfortable as possible. Allow the child to remain in a parent's arms and avoid any unnecessary painful interventions. Persistent crying increases oxygen demands and respiratory muscle fatigue and worsens the obstruction.[1]
- Use paracetamol or ibuprofen to control fever.
- Ensure an adequate fluid intake.
- Do not advise humidified air (eg steam inhalation).[2] A systematic review of its efficacy in secondary-care emergency settings has not shown any evidence of benefit.[3]
- Inpatient care includes oxygen therapy if required to maintain SaO2 above 93%.
Systematic reviews of the use of systemic dexamethasone and nebulised budesonide have shown that they are effective in easing symptoms within a few hours.[5] Treated patients have fewer re-attendances or hospital admissions, and those who are admitted require shorter inpatient stays.[6]
- Mild croup is largely self-limiting, but treatment with a single dose of a corticosteroid (eg dexamethasone 150 micrograms/kg) by mouth may be of benefit.[7]
- More severe croup (or mild croup that might cause complications) requires hospital admission. A single dose of a corticosteroid (eg dexamethasone 150 micrograms/kg or prednisolone 1-2 mg/kg by mouth) should be administered before transfer to hospital.[7]
- In hospital, dexamethasone 150 micrograms/kg (by mouth or by injection) or budesonide 2 mg (by nebuliser) will often reduce symptoms. The dose may need to be repeated after 12 hours if necessary.[7]
Epinephrine (adrenaline)[1]
- Nebulised epinephrine (adrenaline) is usually reserved for patients in moderate-to-severe distress.
- Nebulised epinephrine (adrenaline) solution 1 in 1,000 (1 mg/mL) should be given with close clinical monitoring in a dose of 400 micrograms/kg (maximum 5 mg) repeated after 30 minutes if necessary.[7]
- The effects of nebulised epinephrine (adrenaline) last 2-3 hours and the child needs to be monitored carefully for any recurrence of the obstruction.[7]
- Bacterial superinfection may result in pneumonia or bacterial tracheitis. The most frequent organism is Staphylococcus aureus, followed by group A streptococcus, Moraxella catarrhalis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and anaerobes.
- Pulmonary oedema, pneumothorax, lymphadenitis and otitis media have also been reported.
- Inability to maintain adequate fluid intake may lead to dehydration.
- Complications are generally rare and case series show that <5% of children require hospitalisation and <2% of those admitted need intubation and ventilatory support.[1]
- Rarely, secondary bacterial infection can lead to pneumonia or tracheitis. Pulmonary oedema and pneumothorax are seen extremely rarely as sequelae.
- Mortality rates in intubated children are around 0.5%.[1]
