Injection easier than IV in treating deadly epileptic seizures
Injection easier than IV in treating deadly epileptic seizures
BALTIMORE ---- Megan Ephage lives in fear of another big epileptic seizure.
The 22-year-old Glen Burnie, Md., woman had her first seizure when she was 13. Even though medications largely keep her epilepsy under control, the prospect of seizures means she can't drive, which makes it difficult getting to classes at Anne Arundel Community College.
She dreams of becoming a lawyer, but keeping a job is a challenge. She said her last employer in a retail store feared her disorder.
New research on the best way to administer drugs that stop seizures could prove life-changing, as well as life-saving, for Ephage and others.
Paramedics know what drugs stop these damaging and potentially fatal seizures, but they have had trouble getting them into the veins of their convulsing patients. Now paramedics and doctors in Maryland and across the country have helped show that the drugs can be easily delivered into the thigh muscle using an injector similar to the EpiPen carried by those with serious allergic reactions.
"This validates the safety and effectiveness of the shot," said Dr. Tricia Ting, an assistant professor of neurology at the University of Maryland Medical Center, one of 17 academic centers pursuing the best method of stopping "status epilepticus," or prolonged seizures that cause 55,000 deaths a year.
That is what the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health aimed to discover when it initiated the study in 2009.
The situation, officials say, was pressing: More than 1 percent of the U.S. population has epilepsy, or more than 3 million people, and while most of their seizures do not last longer than a minute and do not require medical attention, prolonged seizures lasting more than 5 minutes can cause brain damage and death.
About 275,000 people have such prolonged seizures annually, and up to 20 percent die when the seizures aren't stopped, researchers say.
Authorities have assumed that drugs given through veins rather than muscles are absorbed more quickly. But in this study, led by University of Michigan researchers and published Feb. 16 in the New England Journal of Medicine, intramuscular injections worked better than the intravenous ones. Seizures had stopped in more people by the time they arrived at the hospital.
Eventually, the researchers say, they expect patients and their families to be able to carry an injector pen and administer the drug themselves.
Having a pen in her pocket might just give everyone some peace of mind, Ephage said.
"I'd like to carry it around or have someone carry it for me," she said. "A serious seizure wouldn't be as serious because everyone would know it could be stopped. ... Now, everyone is scared something will happen. I think it's unfair."
The epilepsy pen injects midazolam, the drug already used by Maryland paramedics, though they typically administer it intravenously. Other emergency personnel around the nation use another drug, called lorazepam. It can only be given intravenously, it requires refrigeration, and ambulances in the state and elsewhere are not yet equipped with such equipment.

Category 6 - Historic PreservationAward of Merit
Booth's Mill Bridge Over Antietam Creek
Washington County, Maryland
The Booth's Mill Bridge renovation project restored this deteriorating, 163-year-old, three-span, stone arch bridge to its previous stature as a useful transportation structure. An inverted concrete "T" wall, with tension rods supporting each external stone wall and the arches, was built internally to fortify the bridge. In order to eliminate future drainage problems, lightweight concrete was used on the project instead of the typical earth fill. Pressure injection, used to stabilize the structure's walls, and general repainting, also helped restore this historic bridge over Antietam Creek.

New state law allows municipalities to exhange funds on projects
By James D. Wolf Jr. Post-Tribune correspondent May 8, 2013 9:24PM
VALPARAISO — The city may be one of the first municipalities to take advantage of a new state law that allows an exchange of federal money for state money on projects.
House Bill 1067 could allow Valparaiso — or any municipality — to exchange money and perhaps have lesser or different restrictions on projects, including time.
However, that's still not certain because the Indiana Department of Transportation hasn't written rules for the new law, said Mike Jabo of engineering firm DLZ.
The project that Valparaiso may exchange federal funds for state at 75 cents or more per dollar is improvements of Silhavy Road between LaPorte and Evans avenues.
Jabo spoke about the law, which passed April 18 and was signed by Gov. Mike Pence on May 2, at Wednesday's Valparaiso Redevelopment Commission meeting.
Jabo said he's talked to other states like Kansas, Oregon and Nebraska that have similar laws and found that "time is one of the biggest money savers."
For the Silhavy project, the city must have things in place for work in 2015, City Engineer Tim Burkman said.
That gives Valparaiso about 18 months to plan it, and it took two years to plan the Silhavy and Vale Park Road roundabout.
"Eighteen months is a very tight window," he said.
The city applied for federal money for the project in 2008 but transferred it to a Burlington Beach Road project.
City officials transferred $3.2 million back to the Silhavy project, and if the city doesn't use it by deadline, the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission may defund the project or put it on hold for years, Burkman said.
The project could make Silhavy three lanes or just make improvements at its intersections, as well as adding curbs and gutters.
Making the switch between the federal funds NIRPC controls and federal funds that go to INDOT could mean fewer restrictions.
The city could use existing easements to put in improvements on residents' properties instead of having to negotiate for and buy the right of way from residents, saving time and money.
Both Jabo and Burkman said that until INDOT creates rules for the switches, nothing is certain.
The mayor and City Council must approve any funding switches.
Jabo plans to talk about the new law at NIRPC on Tuesday.

CCPD: Father aiding daughter in robbery arrested
CORPUS CHRISTI - A 39-year-old man was arrested after pushing his way out of a store with his daughter, who had stolen items under her clothes Saturday night, Corpus Christi police said.
Police were called to the 4100 block of Ayers at 7:49 p.m. where an employee of the store said she noticed the man and his daughter in the store. The clerk observed the daughter concealing items in her sweater and try to walk out of the store. The clerk stopped the girl and was in the process of having her return the items, when her father grabbed the girl by the arm and stiff-armed his way past the clerk.
Police tracked the man to his residence and arrested him.
Mario Linares is in Nueces County Jail on a $25,000 bond for robbery.

- 3Jun 28 by lrobinson5Quote from Christy1019It was rhetorical in this case. To be fair he COULD be having pain from a number of things, neuropathy, phantom pains from his amputated legs etc.I wasn't sure if that was a rhetorical question or not, but if it wasn't, diabetic neuropathy is pretty painful. If it was rhetorical then I get what you mean, not every diabetic has neuropathy, nor do they all need to eat every 2hrs like I've heard them claim lol.
If he IS having that much pain, 10/10 pain 24/7 despite high doses of narcotics Q2 hours, it is still hard for me to deal with it considering he has bullied every single doctor, nurse, and supervisor at my hospital to accommodate slowly killing himself. There is no such thing as a 3,000 calorie ADA diet, but guess who got it ordered for them?

- 2Sep 18 by maelstrom143To the patient who fired me for trying to do a skin assessment "Thank you so very much!!!"
I did go around with a huge grin for the rest of the shift (although I felt bad for my colleague who got her).
- 6Sep 18 by ICURN3020Quote from DosmoRNI wish we could do this sometimes. But doing so would probably just cause one more "Nurses eat their young", "My coworkers are mean" or "Bullying" thread on AN written by some know it all who just doesn't get it.I have an idea...Why not assign "Ms critical -thinker new nurse" to the patient who wanted the Philipina nurse to "sit" on him. Or maybe, let her respond to the patient who, among a stream of other requests, wants her to hold his penis while he voids.Would it be too cruel to assign her, in additionl, to the patient whose grown child demands his mother gets ibuprophen every 2 hours around the clock. The one who says (shouts) "I don't care if it makes her stomach hurt, my mother needs to be PAIN FREE, don't you understand that??!. Let her apply a little "critical thinking" to the guy who calls 911 because he's drunk.
Maybe it will help her understand that nobody is going to require her to cite "studies" regarding anything nor quote any experts...just do the job of a nurse. You may have to "bite your tongue" when she tells you about it.
- 2Oct 5 by aqua_clementineThis happened today.
A (obviously single-and-looking son of a patient) had been overly friendly and Mr. Funnyman all day. His dad, (my patient) had an NG tube, NPO, peritonitis... As I'm leaving the room, Mr. Funnyman says loudly: "He would love for you to get him a steak done medium rare." I laugh, then (why didn't I just bite my tongue) quipped back, "Well, unfortunately I'm not the cook...or the waitress."
Can't believe I actually said that, but I also think that guy had it coming to him. He was rather obnoxious.
Sometimes, I get frustrated with the endless chatter. I have so much work to do that even as 12.5 hr shift isn't long enough somedays. It's hard always being over the top nice to people.

PAGES: May brings us some delights for the heart, eyes and brain. First, we can't wait to be challenged on how gay we really are with Joel Derfner's 'Swish: My Quest to Become The Gayest Person Ever' (May 13). When Joel was a little six year-old at summer camp and denied his due right to explore needlework and flower arranging classes, he made becoming the gayest person on Earth his personal mission: gay like aerobics instructor, go-go boy and musical theater professional gay. Send your friends a gay haiku, courtesy of Joel, here. For our more cerebral reads we turn to Arsenal Pulp Press for 'Peter Flinsch: The Body In Question' (May 1) for the amazing biography and works of a German Nazi who was jailed for kissing a boy but survived to become one of the bravest queer artists in history. Check out a gallery of his work here. And Terry Goldie delivers 'QueerSexLife,' (May 1) an autobiographical exploration of every queer theory in the book.

Net loan charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2010 were $10.6 million, or 0.81% of average loans for the quarter. Our provision for loan losses was $15.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2010, and $9.0 million in the prior year fourth quarter. "We remain focused on improving loan quality and reducing our level of non-performing assets," continued Ms. Bouvette. "We believe our active write-down of OREO to reflect declining values during the year, and the charge-offs made at year-end 2010 have better aligned our loan portfolio values with the current economic conditions in our markets."

Scott Malchus revisits the soundtrack to that seminal film celebrating America's two favorite past times: Sex and baseball.

In this week's special Best Original Song edition of Soundtrack Saturday, Kelly revisits the nominees from the 55th Academy Awards.
Here's some tunes you might know of…
Marc Cohn and the slurricane in the same story? Wow.
Tonight's date song tips the hat to a Tom Moulton remix of little known soul singer Patti Jo. Ms. Jo's "Make Me Believe in You" was also covered by Curtis Mayfield a year after its release date in 1973.
Carly Simon's song from Working Girl was the first Oscar-winning song in a decade not to be a smash hit, and also it was by the iconic Carly Simon. What gives?
The incarcerated mayor of Bootleg City was deeply disappointed to hear that HarperCollins has canceled the publication of Billy Joel's memoir, The Book of Joel, but a 1976 bootleg of the Piano Man in New York City has helped ease his pain.

Jammed roads, disrupted rail journeys and packed airports are expected to signal the start of the Christmas getaway, according to travel experts.
Some four million Brits are expected to fly out of the UK between December and January 3rd, according to travel association Abta, and is slightly higher than the number going away for Christmas last year. Heathrow is handling 16,700 departures this Friday, with nearly 700,000 passengers leaving from the west London airport between December 19 and Christmas Day.
And they are not the only airport expecting a high passenger load - Gatwick airport would be handling 800,000 departures and Stansted 430,000 between December 19 and January 3. In addition around 380,000 will leave from Manchester and 160,000 from Birmingham over the same period. Those that remain in the UK can expect heavy traffic and delayed rail services, experts warned.
Tonight the Sun's Military Awards will be broadcast on ITV, presented by Amanda Holden and Phillip Schofield, the awards pay tribute to the outstanding courage and sacrifice of Britain's armed forces at the annual ceremony, with senior members of the royal family in attendance.

Luke Cameron has spent a year doing good deeds every day after a close family friend died of cancer.
This morning he went to get the paper from a petrol station and left £10 in a pump for someone, he's given away a £25 winning lottery ticket, and paid for the haircut of the man in front of him at the barbers!
Seeing as we have world-renowned present wrapper Arona Khan in the studio, we thought we'd put our own wrapping skills to the test.
So who is Good Morning Britain's star wrapper? We think it's safe to say that it's not our Kate!
If your annual Christmas wrapping session leaves you covered in screwed up balls of sellotape and torn paper, help is at hand. A new video showcasing an incredibly fast and simple technique has gone viral - revealing how to wrap a present in just 12 seconds.
So what is the best way to wrap a present? We've enlisted the help of expert wrapper Arona Khan to show us!

hi guys.
talk to me. let's pretend we are sitting and sharing a cup of coffee. or a pretty cappuccino.
i have a sinus situation going on so my head has been throbbing (ouch) despite the steady stream of pain meds i've been taking. not so fun.
any posts you want me to write about? mom life, art action, deaf stuff, recipes, fill-in-the-blank?
also, the election is coming up. oh and look! my very own husband shared a snippet of why he is voting for prop 47. (spoiler alert- i am too. feel free to ask me questions about it in the comments section.)
are you registered to vote yet? do it by october 20th, my friends!

my glamorous sexy life
i've had a few conversations with friends lately about the depictions of life that can come through the filter of facebook, instagram, blogging, etc.
i sort of
that anyone who knows me also realizes that i am a hot mess, and that the pretty pictures or magical moments that i post are also balanced out with the reality of the less documented life: loneliness, temper tantrums, a messy house, failed expectations, parenting dilemmas, marital discord, disagreements with friends, family drama, not-so-photogenic dinners, sucky days in which everything that can go wrong does, feeling like a less than stellar friend, daughter, sister, wife, mom....and the list goes on.
but maybe i've been assuming that the life any of us portray through social media is understood to be just a portion of one's experience. that all of us have moments of feel left out, or sad, or a disaster, or less successful than others. and that those pictures in our feeds, or the status updates are a snippet- often of the highlights.
lest you think i have it all together, here are a few moments from my life that may or may not be in my instagram or facebook feed: there are currently a ton of dishes in my sink, massive piles of clean and dirty clothes that i have no hopes of getting to today, a disastrous children's bedroom, and a bathroom that needs to be cleaned.
last night i was so tired that even though our house looked like kansas after a tornado i went straight to bed.
i have no idea what i am doing in my studio right now, and whether everything i am painting is terrible or just about to be great. really hard to not compare myself to other artist friends successes.
i spent my studio time last week working on new card concepts and ended up with not much of anything good, despite a deadline yesterday. that is super stressful since my entire income is based on royalties.
i am trying to work with monrovia on reading and subtraction and they are such a struggle for her, so homework time is less than awesome.
i know working out is good for me and makes me happy when i am done, but i just can't figure out how to fit it in to a daily practice unless i wake up earlier but i am so tired in the morning.
i am really frustrated with the state of my waistline but see earlier comment on working out.
my six year old is keeping me on my toes and by that i mean throwing daily tantrums and then needing a ton of attention and love.
matt and i are going out of town next week and we haven't even had an evening to sit down and plan any of it.
don't get me wrong, there is
so much goodness
in my life. i am incredibly thankful. i have an amazing network of people around me, wonderful children to snuggle, a home i treasure, a city i love, family and friends that make my world, and on and on....i am
complaining. just saying that i think all of us have glorious, beautiful, photo worthy moments. and all of us have terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad stuff too.
here's to more goodness! and listening to each other so we know each other's best moments and each other's less than perfect ones too.

this little love muffin, yes, this very one pictured above, asked me the following today:
"mom, can i have a chocolate chip sandwich for lunch?"
which proves two things:
1. i am raising very smart children.
2. although they obviously never listen to me because that request is just crazy talk.
meanwhile, i read
this blog post today about qualities that teachers appreciate in parents.
some good stuff, my fellow raisers of children. and let me tell you, since my own mother is a teacher who works insane hours every day not only teaching but grading and then responding to parents who need constant attention and feedback? she could use a few of these kinds of parents in her life. and i'm guessing so could all of the teachers in our school system.
now get off your phone or computer and go make yourself a chocolate chip sandwich.

it's monday, monday
first up! today i was the guest blogger for my friend brett's blog. he is doing a series on living with disability, and so i wrote about having a deaf daughter. i'd love for you to read it! you can find it
if that leaves you wanting even more, you can check out this post written about monrovia and our journey last month on
deaf and hard of hearing's blog
meanwhile, it's monday! i have a big deadline today, so i'll keep this short and sweet since you've obviously already either gone over or are about to read my other blog post...(insert winky emoticon here) i am trying to get back into the regular-blogging swing, even though slow and not-so-steady has been my pace the last few months.
last night had dinner to celebrate the life of a dear friend of mine who i've known since i was still in those years before i could legally vote or drink or rent a car. yep, it's been a long time! here is to friends with history, and to growing older and wiser, even though right about now all i can see in that picture is my patch of grays. (just kidding- i do see that, but i also see the beauty of over half a lifetime of friendship.) grateful for her friendship, and for the many seasons of life we've gone through together. the magical ones, the downright terrible ones, and the in-between ones too. i do not take the gift of friendship lightly, and i treasure the friends who have shaped my world for the better. happy birthday, amy! much, much love to you today and always.
next up? knocking out some freelance.
here's to a beautiful monday. let me know what you think of the
guest post i did
, and feel free to follow up with any questions in the comments below.

for my friend
i've been thinking about my friend melissa all month.
after a six year battle with cancer she passed away on september 7th.
i'd written in passing about her on this blog,
but always kept hoping she could pull through.
i went to grad school with melissa's husband ned, who is an amazing painter. we became friends after grad school, as we held these rotating dinners with other friends we knew through art school. here we are celebrating melissa's birthday last year. it felt a little miraculous and wonderful to be celebrating another year of her life.
i want you to know that she was a gifted and beautiful person.
that she loved beautiful things, and travel, and good meals, and laughing with friends, and making art, and writing, and pursuing justice, and succulents, and flea markets, and cooking, and speaking french, and her husband, and her cats, and being an aunt, and her family, and celebrity trash, and all sorts of vintage treasure.
she was incredibly smart, and funny, and witty, and self-deprecating, and kind, and sarcastic, and patient with my children and adventurous.
i liked going on walks with her or sitting in her backyard in the sun talking.
i know you did not know her. i know that i only knew her for a portion of her life, and that what i knew about her is only a small part of who she was. but i want to honor her, and who she was, by telling you the part of her story that intersected with my life.
the last night i hung out with melissa was the week she died. matt and i went over to hang with her and ned. the boys played backgammon and i sat with melissa and watched mindless reality tv and hung out with her as she wandered the house. at one point there was a ridiculous reality tv show that came on. i think it was called dating naked, and the contestants meet each other completely naked and then decide through a series of faux dates if they want to keep dating or not.really? i don't think you can get more superficial. it was a profound juxtaposition - the most shallow and insipid version of relationships and what i was experiencing in their living room: ned gently taking care of melissa, rubbing her back, getting her what she needed, and the two of them loving each other through everything. our culture's idea of physical beauty and spectacle on the screen was in stark contrast to the true beauty of two people who love each other through sickness and health.
today, if you see something beautiful or laugh out loud or taste delicious food, you can think of my friend, and how she would have loved it. thank you for reading about my friend.
i will miss you melissa, and i'm grateful for all you brought the world while you were living in it.

the very best days of the week
the very best days of the week...
are the friday, saturday + sunday ones!
last weekend was full of wonderful:
first up, a visit from matt's parents to mark his dad's birthday
which gave matt and i time to go out on not one but TWO dates!
we headed into san francisco on friday night to a spot where matt has been wanting to go,
tosca cafe
in north beach.
it was a beautiful evening, just perfect to walk through the streets of san francisco. lovely light, balmy bay area weather but without the city's fog, and lots of people out an about. we stumbled into a great art supply store on our walk from parking to the restaurant, so i stocked up on some painting supplies! (my kryptonite: paint. paper. pens. pencils. ok, any art supplies.) that's my kind of date- one that includes buying new oil paint.
we got there early enough that it wasn't very sceney yet- but the time the sun set and the waves of young and moneyed city crowd came in we were finishing up our dinner that we ate at the bar. tips if you ever go: the food was pretty heavy so keep that in mind. my favorite was one of the most simple things we had- a cheese prosciutto panini that we ate as a starter. it was delicious! we got an oder of meatballs but no joke, matt's meatballs (
from the a16 cookbook
) are exceptional, and far better than these. in the future i might just go for drinks and a starter. but who can complain about sharing pretty good food with one's favorite person?
saturday morning we headed to monrovia's school's bike day, which i think is one of the most fun family events they do every year. kids can get their bike fixed for free, decorate or bling their bike out with craft supplies, ride an obstacle course, learn how to ride a bike, borrow a bike and helmet for free, make smoothies by riding a bike with a blender attached, race to see who could go the slowest without losing balance and do follow the leader with bikes. super fun community building time!
next monrovia went off to celebrate her papa's birthday by accompanying him and her aunt chrissy to a cal bears game (his alma mater and very close to his heart team!) i'm sure you'll be surprised to know that she was slightly obsessed with the route of the cotton candy man. my girls never miss an opportunity to get snacks!
at one point when she was actually watching the game, papa says she was mad at the ref's call.
meanwhile, ruby went to the discovery museum with her grandma, so matt and i went on date #2!
first we went to the new show at the oakland museum, fertile ground. it was kind of a look at my artistic lineage, as some of the artistic communities portrayed were students or professors at uc davis and san francisco art institute, my undergraduate and graduate schools.
then off to one of my favorite restaurants in the hopes we could slip in and find a spot at the bar. happily we got a table! and of course as usual the food was insanely good.
, will you go to the dance with me? xoxo, me
holy burrata and tomato situation. so so good.
matt's family celebrated my dad-in-law's birthday saturday night with food and pinata action over at my sister-in-law's, but i had a date with deaf moms on the books already, so over the bridge i went to meet up with old friends. how amazing the sky was as i crossed the bridge!
i always love catching up with other moms who have kids with hearing loss. they are my extended tribe, and we get where we've been and the struggles and triumphs we have now. for the record, i ate a massive meal at lunch so i didn't need to eat a single thing, and yet a massive and filled with creatures-of-the-sea (which i don't love) and other assorted chinese delicacies was spinning by me on the lazy susan all night long.
sunday morning i rocked the flock by singing with my mom playing piano (did you know i did that sometimes? why yes, it's true.) then it was baby shower time! my dear friend kendra hosted a pretty shower for our friends peter and connie, who are expecting a baby boy at the beginning of november! you really can't go wrong with feting new babies, friends, itty bitty cute baby things, bubbly, treats, good food (mashed potatoes and flank steak? yes please), and pretty decorations! (plus kendra is an amazing hostess, so her parties are always fun.)
i made a four layer yellow ombre cake with cream cheese frosting and lemon curd between the layers and the cutest root beer float cupcakes in a jar! (peter loves root beer floats so they were in honor of him.)
peter is famous for knowing celebrity trash (see what i did there?), so i also made up a celebrity baby match game which isn't cute, but was fun! how many can you get right?
such a fun weekend full of celebrations big and small, so now that i'm back in the routine of a regular ole week it makes me happy that somehow tomorrow is friday again!
oh, also? i am trying to blog more often here and over at my website. for glimpses into my studio, my paintings or current freelance projects or a dash of creativity, hop over to my other blog! for now the working title is:
Art is Doing
happy almost friday to you!

and we're back
it's fall.
i sort of dropped the blog ball, no?
since i was last here
school has started for m
and for ruby
to be honest i am in a bit of a funk this week. i am finally back in my studio and so much is on my mind: the loss of a friend earlier this month, which is still very heavy on my heart, what i am up to professionally as an artist and illustrator and where to focus my energy, the roller coaster of emotions that is parenting (i am not kidding you, monrovia is pushing my buttons in so many ways. 6 1/2 is killing me!!!), some rough relational stuff that i can't shake, my (seemingly) lifelong battle with staying healthy and strong despite pretty strong genetic predispositions to being overweight (um, and not helpful that THREE females in the last month have asked if i am pregnant. really people? do i really look pregnant?!) and last but not least the looming fact that i am turning 40 in a few months.
i recognize that no one really reads blogs anymore, or writes on them much either, but headed back here today to start writing again. and now off to work out some of my angst in the form of studio time.
say hello if you've swung by?

Bedazzled sunnies & a link about yours truly!
It's been a busy month- really full; my brother just got married last weekend so here's a sneak peek at those festivities!
Meanwhile, our family and our journey with monrovia got profiled on this hearing loss blog:
Just in case you want to check it out!

why it matters
this month i've been driving our girls down to redwood city for summer camp at the oral deaf school where m went from when she was 7 months old until she headed to mainstream preschool at 4.
it's a schlep of course, but so worth it. worth it for her to connect with her friends with hearing loss, worth it for ruby to be around lots of kids who are like her sister, worth it for m to see littler kiddos with hearing loss who are learning to listen and speak.
i love little moments we've had this month:
morning music every morning
which takes me back to when m was tiny, barely talking, and would come to music
the play after camp is over. the kids play for at least an hour, and i love this free time for them to be with each other and build, create, problem solve, resolve conflict, laugh, and be crazy silly.
the safety and comfort that comes with being with kids that m has known since she was a baby, and ruby since she was born. it fills my heart. i wish our kids lived closer, but they also have each other as a home base, and that is a gift.
why it matters? as in why i don't mind the drive, and the time, and the expense:
monrovia has loved getting to see adults with implants, since two of the parents have implants this summer. and she always loves being around other people with hearing loss. she asked me one day this month why there couldn't be more kids at her school with implants like her. i want her to stay connected to her friends who also navigate the hearing world, but are also a little "different" from their typical hearing peers, like her.
this week on the drive down ruby asked, "why does monrovia need to wear implants?" i was a little taken aback- after all, every single day in the morning we say, "monrovia can't hear you; she doesn't have her implants on yet." and m talks about being deaf all the time. but i realized ruby needed me to connect the dots more for her, so i explained the hearing test that newborn babies take, and how monrovia didn't pass hers, and how we found out that she was deaf and that meant she can't hear anything. at the end of explaining it all, i asked her if she ever wished she had implants too. she said, "yes, and mine would be yellow with sunflowers."
it matters because monrovia is deaf, and always will be. it matters because matt and i am not, and yet i want to give her soft places to land, as many opportunities for connection with other kids who have hearing loss too, and as many times as possible for ruby to understand the world monrovia lives in.
um, plus? i've gotten three hours to myself every monday, wednesday, and friday, and i won't lie: it's been awesome.

oh, backyard, i love you.
i keep meaning to post pictures of the progress of our backyard, because it's changed so much since we first moved in to our home.
it used to look like this! and, wow! monrovia used to look like that too. teeny, tiny and two. this is when i was super-really-about-to-pop-pregnant with ruby and we had just moved in to our house.
now that same part of the yard looks like this:
and even though we have a ways to go, it is my favorite to be out there because we play and host and hang and make space for those who don't have their own and eat and drink and make merry and make bubbles and swing and hang from the monkey bars and garden and harvest and...it is good.
maybe i'll do a backyard tour sometime, but this is a glimpse of just the last week out there for now! it's a busy spot:
lots and lots of play
working on an interactive art piece for our neighborhood block party
sky watching above our orange tree
hosting a meal for youth from oakland leadership center
and just because tutus were involved and so that makes it cuter,
we made tutus and ate ice cream sundaes at a preschool ballerina party!
plus just sitting of course, because we all need to rest!
here's to rest, and places to just be, and home that feels like a landing place.

Question & Answers
I'm at level 25 with NO quests in 5-8 levels! HELP!
I am level 25 and I've had no new quests in over a half dozen levels! The only quests that are there require real cash to purchase gems, needing over $40.00 worth. The game driven quests have stopped coming. I have the golden hind. I have reached some points without getting anything, like reaching the second girl encased in glass to just name one. Mainly I cannot reach any new islands, they are all in clouds. I have two that say to complete a quest but no directions on how to complete them. One island says unlock pirate cove and the other says unlock the hidden city but no details on objective. I have bought things and spent about $100, I've been playing about a month, daily, and? Will they stop here and force the ~$50 in gem purchases to continue? I won't be forced. Have I wasted a month? Please advise. Thank you!
Answer from: LevelHeaded
Hey Genesis, i've run into the second girl under glass too, but i still have a couple of quests to follow (at level 31). i finally broke down and got some rubies to build that mansion for that guy, which gave access to the island close to the start with the statue (with the emerald). That gives way to the the quest Cats and Cakes which apparently opens up the another piece of the board. Have you done that one yet? (I'm probably going to) I think they basically force you at this point to use rubies to get further into the game, or else be very very patient and slowly build houses and merchants ... maybe something will come up.
Ignore the previous user's comment about cheating, many are at the same level or higher after 2 months of play.
Answer from: Observer
Wow, blastmaster, is that the attitude in this game, that if someone gets ahead in the game then they must be cheating? I've been idle enough to keep tapping for coins almost nonstop, and apparently just doing that alone causes me to level because I've leveled while only tapping for coins, with no finished quests during that time. Maybe the game is set up for leveling through frequency of tapping. So if Genesis made it to level 25, why does it have to mean that he cheated? Bah humbug. You guys....
It is clear that this game depends on people getting impatient and spending real dollars, but even when they do, they get blown off as cheaters? Come on. I don't think I'd recommend this game to others if that is the attitude.
Answer from: Liljake
Ok i just started playin a while ago Im level 20 and am not running into trouble but the game cant legally force u to buy coins or gems to continue, if u r patient u wont have to spend anything because if u had to it would be illegal
Answer from: Lillie377
I'm on level 28 and haven't cheated! I too have reached special things in the trees without receiving anything for them and my map is stuck on the golden hind which I have etc. Think there is a bug and once fixed we'll all whizz along!!
Answer from: Ht2Ret
I am almost to level 30 and my only real complaint is the "cost" of expansion. It seems to be more and more. It will cost more than the three ships and 23 merchants to keep getting land. I saved the old lady's kid then other issues popped up. Played withe the mermaid a few times and she is tighter than a casino's slot machine in this economy. It's not cheating to buy rubies or coins but they have decent prices if you buy, could use a sale every now and than like in modern war or kingdom age
Answer from: Kahuna
I am at level 40. Only seem to go up when you harvest wood. Have not gotten any new lands to open up in over a month. I won't spend any rubies unless more achievements start coming up that can be accomplished and open new islands. Will keep trying just a couple of more days. I did get a new 2 day quest which requires fighting 4 pirates but am down to 12 hours left and haven't had any pirates around. This seems to be a poorly managed game and I would never recommend it to someone.
Answer from: Jahyra
At level 50 which appears to be the ceiling for levels. Now have my third challenge on a time limit....each time I fail because the pirates immediately dry up. I am ignoring requests to rate the game as I hate to give poor feedback. Potential for a good game but sadly appears more and more to be an excuse to drive the player to continuously spend. I don't have 200 rubies and can't get them this side of Christmas. No hidden areas opened up for the last month. Getting boring.
Answer from: Jewules
I have found that the game levels up when you chop trees from expanding land. I also have a button on the bottom left of the screen (above the map button) that always has pirates in it so I dont have to wait for them to appear. I have no problem expanding for land but I only expand when I new space to place a house or merchant and I continually buy these as log as I have money. I have also found that Tempe price of the land goes down if you wait. Three hours ago land costed me 14 thousand to expand and when I clicked to expand now it only coated 7 thousand. I am at level 31 and I find that I get a ruby every time I level up. Te best deal for the mermaids seemed to be the right column. I you click on the mermaid and the right column is more than six rubies try clicking on the mermaid again or try a different mermaid until the cost is six rubies. This option gives you a better Jane t getting rubies and often you get coins too. Hope this helps!!
Answer from: Beffattack
Jewules ,did you make a mistake on the price of your land on level 31 .I,am at level 31 and the price of my land is now 34000000!
Answer from: stallone
The game is good but the owners are leaches, there is no reason to play this game unless you like being frustrsted about having to pay to advance, remove the game

By all accounts, Filippo Brunelleschi, goldsmith and clockmaker, was an unkempt, cantankerous, and suspicious man-even by the generous standards according to which artists were judged in fifteenth-century Florence. He also designed and erected a dome over the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore-a feat of architectural daring that we continue to marvel at today-thus securing himself a place among the most formidable geniuses of the Renaissance. At first denounced as a madman, Brunelleschi literally reinvented the field of architecture amid plagues, wars, and political feuds to raise seventy million pounds of metal, wood, and marble hundreds of feet in the air. Ross King's captivating narrative brings to life the personalities and intrigue surrounding the twenty-eight-year-long construction of the dome, opening a window onto Florentine life during one of history's most fascinating eras.
Both dome and architect offer King plenty of rich material. The story of the dome goes back to 1296, when work began on the cathedral, but it was only in 1420, when Brunelleschi won a competition over his bitter rival Lorenzo Ghiberti to design the daunting cupola, that work began in earnest. King weaves an engrossing tale from the political intrigue, personal jealousies, dramatic setbacks, and sheer inventive brilliance that led to the paranoid Filippo, "who was so proud of his inventions and so fearful of plagiarism," finally seeing his dome completed only months before his death. King argues that it was Brunelleschi's improvised brilliance in solving the problem of suspending the enormous cupola in bricks and mortar (painstakingly detailed with precise illustrations) that led him to "succeed in performing an engineering feat whose structural daring was without parallel." He tells a compelling, informed story, ranging from discussions of the construction of the bricks, mortar, and marble that made up the dome, to its subsequent use as a scientific instrument by the Florentine astronomer Paolo Toscanelli. --Jerry Brotton, Amazon.co.uk

Boy, 15, faces charges of terrorizing, interfering in school operation
A 15-year-old boy was jailed Thursday after admitting to making a YouTube video that portrayed some students as being shot.
Authorities with the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office said a parent informed them of the video that showed H.L. Bourgeois High School students as shooting victims.
Investigators contacted the parents of the boy who they said made the video, and he was questioned. Officials said he admitted to making the video because he said he was being bullied. He said he did not intend to hurt anyone.
The boy was arrested on charges of terrorizing and interfering in the operation of a school.
The boy was taken to the Terrebonne Parish Juvenile Justice Center and jailed.
Officials said the investigation is continuing, but they believe it's an isolated incident.

We go through a lot of ashtrays at our oyster bar and these are inexpensive enough to almost be disposable. They are heavy enough to stay in place without being too heavy.

I looked several places to find a basic ashtray for out patio. Though plastic would have been preferred, they looked cheap. The next best thing was this one. As always, Webstaurant was there for me on price!

(Updates with mining and quarrying costs in third paragraph.)
Sept. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Ghana's producer-price inflation rate increased for the second consecutive month to 17.2 percent in August, as mining and quarrying costs rose.
Inflation accelerated from a revised 13.9 percent in July, Grace Bediako, a statistician at the Ghana Statistical Service told reporters in the capital, Accra, today.
Mining and quarrying costs, which account for 14 percent of the overall index, rose 47 percent from 34 percent the month before, Bediako said. Ghana is Africa's biggest gold producer after South Africa. Diamond, manganese, and bauxite are also mined in the West African nation.
Manufacturing costs, which make up 70 percent of the index, increased 16 percent in August compared with a revised 14 percent the month earlier, while utility costs were unchanged at 0.3 percent, Bediako said.
