I have probably bought 15 pairs of shoes from the Shoe Bank. If you guys start using them more, I might not get what I want from them... Well, use away. They have some amazing deals throughout the year.
Also, mine look nothing like Cold Irons. I have my 744s sno-sealed (at the price, I decided they were my foul weather boots!), so they are dark like an espresso shell, rather than the original cigar/mohagoney color. Gorgeous, not shiny, but gorgeous and completely water-tight.

All the best!
744s were a limited run of 1000 firsts, and some seconds. The seconds were, for some time, sold through AE, but wolverine made them pull the entire stock because they were so greatly undercutting the price (I got 744s and 721s for $350 each ) and the stores who had collab'd on it were pissed (Leffot et. al). I got mine in my standard Wolverine size (9D, when I wear 9.5EEE in the 5-last for AE). The length was perfect, it's a bit snug sideways. Wolverine's CXL stretches a bit more, but I find that the unlined shell molds to my foot enough that my foot is very comfortably snug in them.

I read that you should go TTS on the 744. I'm a 8.5D TTS and wear a 8D on the AE 5 last. I have a slight issue with the 5 last because I have a higher instep. The shoe width is perfect I just get a bit larger gap at the laces. Where should I start with the 744?
I got my Saphir products in the mail from http://ashineandco.com today and WOW...that stuff is for real!
I put Renovateur them on my Strands and they look awesome. I haven't worked up the guys to,use the Renomat on my Shells.
....and not to get all David Copeland with A Shine & Co but hey have been nothing but awesome to me
And to Mr. Copeland... I love your Nordstrom posts and your posts in general. I have just mentioned who I bought my Saphir from a few times on here that's all :-)
Renomat on shells? Isn't that a bit harsh? If you're really going to do this, please post a before and after picture. I'd like to see what it does. Personally, I'd just be patient and proceed with the Mac method.
New Cordovan WebGems are online. Brown Cordovan Patriot, Brown Cordovan Park Avenue, Brown Cordovan Strand and Brown Cordovan Jefferson. I have a shell brown Patriot, shell black Park Avenue and shell brown Strand, and a calf Jefferson, not shell. I do love my Walnut calf Jeffersons.... It is self evident I must have the Jefferson in Cordovan. Just ordered!
What do people think of the heel detail? Too light for this shade of brown?
While we're at this subject. I'm an 11.5 3E in AE 5 and 1 lasts and I own a pair of Wolverine 1ks in 11 3E. Would 11.5D work in the 744s?
It doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I like having some variety and something different than the chili edge dressing or regular brown. If it comes and it is light, it will be easy to darken up.
Good point. It's an easier DIY task to make it darker than lighter.

Im an ex pest control technician. I still have a pest license for the state of VA. If you have termites, you have a much bigger problem than you think. There is nothing you can possibly buy legally that will fix your termite problem. And its very likely you wont even get rid of them all. You will think you got them all when you really dont and you wont know till a corner of your hime falls in. Every year, termite damage is the number 6 most expensive insurance claim by americans, and is number 3 on the most frequently claimed insurance claim. I had to know thise facts because i would try and have our customers boost their contract to include a termite inspection and warranty. You could. Get a warranty atter your work is done if you go with Greenstar pest control in manassas, va. They will come out to you! They will get rid of your termites and give you a warranty on any damage done after their work. Dont use a home chemical or device because it may temporarily slow the termites down but it wont kill them and it definitely wont get rid of them.
I dont work for greenstar pest control anymore but i know they know their stuff! Best in virginia! If they ask, jj sent ya!
[–]fraggedears 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Thanks! We've had issues with termites twice so far and this is the third outbreak and it has been 10+ years since we had the last outbreak. We do have quarterly outdoor termite inspection with 24 under ground SENTRICON® installed around our perimeter and yearly indoor inspection. We're not sure if its their fault not catching it or it was a sudden outbreak (last outdoor inspection was approx November, April for indoors).
One thing that concerns us is that the last two outbreaks has been mainly confined to outdoor areas (garage and patio doors), this one is located inside at the heart of the house.
Thanks for your feedback and experience, especially from a pest tech!
[–]jjmoffitt 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
TO be honest... it should cost you around $1300-1600 to get it done right and it is a lot but you can get the warranty at greenstar so it never happens again.

Earrings and Accessories Dress Up Any Outfit
Earrings are one of the easiest ways to add sparkle and sophistication to an outfit. At Kmart, you'll find a beautiful selection of earrings for both special occasions and everyday wear, along with other jewelry to help you look your best.
Pendants and necklaces are natural accompaniments to earrings and come in many styles to complement everything from casual clothing to elegant evening wear. Simple chains of silver and gold may be worn as-is or adorned with beads, gems and charms to create one-of-a-kind personalized jewelry pieces. Sterling silver pendants etched with words are beautiful accents to daily outfits and make nice gifts for the special people in your life. Other designs are more extravagant and may include gold, diamonds, gemstones or a combination of the three. Hearts are a popular design choice, but many other beautiful styles exist to help you achieve the look you want.
Small yet elegant, rings give both men and women a way to dress up clothing by adding something special. The traditional beauty of diamond and gemstone rings has kept them in style over the years, and new styles are appearing all the time. From simple gold bands with one or two stones to elaborate sparkling creations encrusted with diamonds, there is a ring for every occasion. Some feature delicate shapes such as hearts or butterflies, making them especially attractive when worn with other coordinating jewelry pieces. Men rings tend to be thicker and heavier with a single prominent stone or no stone at all. These simple designs are perfect for wearing with suits as they add an eye-catching accent without overwhelming the outfit.
Watches combine utility and style for a look that can be playful, practical or elegant. Digital watches with big displays and built-in extras are useful for people on the go or those who are involved in sports. Simple gold and silver watches let you keep track of time in style. More elaborate models may feature streamlined displays that use lines instead of numbers or bands that include attractive accents designed to make them look more like bracelets. The variety of models available makes it easy to choose the right watch to match your clothes.
Sometimes all it takes are a few accessories to make an otherwise plain outfit look amazing. Make Kmart your one-stop shop for earrings, rings, necklaces and more to give your wardrobe the boost you've been looking for.

Fallout: New Vegas
Question from Howler412
Why does the game crash as soon as i start the game?
I just bought the game, no mods installed and the ultimate addition with all DLC. I start up the game, and it works fine but as soon as i click "new game" or whatever, it closes to desktop saying FalloutNV has stopped working. I have tried setting the performance to lowest, highest and all the others. Can anybody help me solve this?

Spring cleaning on tap for Lakemore
Lakemore is springing back after a long winter and village officials could use residents' patience during improvement work and their assistance tidying up.
At the April 7 Council meeting, Mayor Rick Justice announced work soon will begin on a new waterline in the village's "Mohican area." He said Lakemore secured a $90,000 grant last year to replace an old, 2-inch line running from Pawnee Boulevard to Oneida Avenue. Justice said residents could expect to see the installation of the new line this spring. He said the project will be appreciated by the residents who are experiencing significant ground water issues and it will improve the water volume flowing from the fire hydrants in that area.
"This project just will make things safer in the village," Justice said.
He said the village also is focused on securing grants this spring for future upgrades to Sanitarium Road. He explained engineering work is ongoing to aid the village in applying for appropriate grants for an improvement project.
"Once we have the design ready for the project, we can try to secure funding for it," the mayor said.
Also during the meeting, Council President Laura Cochran wanted residents to know nuisance abatement issues will continue to be addressed this spring, with $2,700 available to demolish more blighted properties in the next few weeks.
Justice added Lakemore will receive further funding through Summit County's landbank program this year to address additional abandoned properties seen as local "eye sores."
In other news:
- It also was announced that April 21-25 would serve as Cleanup Week in the village. Residents are encouraged to clean out their basements, attics, sheds and garages and place unwanted items at the curb for trash pickup, said Councilman Chad Lance. According to village officials, pickup won't include hazardous materials or electronics. Residents can, however, visit the village website, www.lakemoreohio.org, to learn how to dispose of these items and where to take documents for shredding, Lance said. The site also instructs residents on how to sign up to have old tires picked up for appropriate disposal at a cost of $2 per tire, he added.
- Councilwoman Anne Snyder additionally discussed the village's annual Cleanup Day, scheduled for April 26. She said participants should report to Upper Waterworks Park on Sanitarium Road at 9 a.m. Gloves and trash bags will be distributed to residents willing to help beautify the village for a few hours. Snyder said hot dogs will be served to all those who volunteer.
- Councilman Josh Timko said the Department of Public Services will continue to address potholes. He added the department already has taken care of a few of the village's potholes causing problems to motorists.
- Cochran said the annual Memorial Day Parade will follow a new route due to the ongoing construction work at Springfield High School. She said the parade will commence at Lakemore Plaza, travel along Canton Road, down Springfield Lake Boulevard, through the heart of the village — along Main Street — and end at the former Edwin Shaw property.
- In addition, Cochran said boat dock rentals still are available for the 2014 boating season. Rentals are on a first-come, first-served basis, she said. Applications can be printed from the village website and dropped off at the Municipal Building, 1400 Main St., she added.
- Council heard the first reading of an ordinance authorizing Summit County Fiscal Officer Kristen Scalise to certify to the village the amount of a five-year, 2.5-mill renewal levy for the Lakemore Fire Department. The levy would be placed on the Nov. 4 General Election ballot, according to the proposed legislation. Village officials said more information on the issue soon would be forthcoming.
- Council accepted the resignation of Tommy Gibbs Jr. from the Lakemore Fire Department and hired three new department employees — Jeff Kuykendal, Alexander Daniels and Anthony Falcone — for a one-year probationary period.
- The annual Easter Egg Hunt is scheduled for April 19 at noon at Upper Waterworks Park, with the Easter Bunny to be present. Those in attendance are asked to park in Lower Waterworks Park, Lance said. Refreshments will be available to benefit the Lakemore United Methodist Church's Summer Fun Program, said Councilman Richard Cole.
The next regular Council meeting will take place April 21 at 7 p.m. at the Municipal Building, 1400 Main St.

Palo Alto author Meg Waite Clayton to speak at the Palo Alto City Library
Original post made by jessicathelibrarian, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Apr 1, 2009
The novel, The Wednesday Sisters, is set right here in Palo Alto in the late 1960s. Palo Alto booklovers will enjoy the evening with the author of this moving story about five women who meet in Eleanor Park, discover their common bond through books and writing, and embark on journeys of self-discovery through their friendship at a time of historic changes in the United States. Author Meg Waite Clayton conducted much of her research for this book at our very own Palo Alto City Library using the Palo Alto Historical Association archives.

I TRIED to like this book, having lived in Palo Alto for many years, but I absolutely hated it! Kept reading hoping that it would get better but unfortunately, it didn't.

Just saw him at MSG and was one of the best shows I've ever seen.
Post your thoughts on the tour and your feels about it.
Questions to keep the thread alive 1. Do you think Kanye is "emotionally broken"? I noticed that his performances of his pre-808s songs weren't as passionate and soulful as they were when I saw him on the Glow in the Dark tour. 2. Do you think Kanye should do some dubstep? His remixes of his songs are out of fucking control. I'd love to hear him to a dubstep song or two.
my thoughts are fuck you because ik i wont be able to live with myself missing this show sunday night.
did u see tribe by any chance?
No that's tonight I saw k. dot Well I didn't actually see him The show started at 8 so I got there at 9 cause you know how concerts are. it turns out I completely missed Kendrick's set

i dont think hes emotionally broken..maybe from all the pressure and attention on him..but i think his passion is just so strong for what he does that he cant get it all out. geniuses are like that..they just have so many thoughts they cant express them all
idk if he could pull off dubstep. ppl like danny brown can pull it off cuz they have that crazy strong voice..kanye has a strong voice but over dubstep idk how it would be
No, just producing dubstep; straight instrumental.
oh i think he would rip the genre a whole new asshole tbh like he does everything
Also, Kanye is the most energetic musician that can't dance that's still alive.
Man, I did not want that show to end.
will he tour at central europe ?
He needs to stop canceling the Vancouver show.
My total experience here!
That night was legendary my friend.
Also, he performed Good Life, Stronger, Can't Tell Me Nothin' Through the Wire, Flashing Lights and many other pre 808's songs with some of the most impassioned delivery of the night here. At least here anyway.

Botulinum neurotoxins: from paralysis to recovery of functional neuromuscular transmission.
Meunier FA, Schiavo G, MolgóJ
J Physiol Paris. 2002;96(1-2):105.
The neuromuscular junction is one of the most accessible mammalian synapses which offers a useful model to study long-term synaptic modifications occurring throughout life. It is also the natural target of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) causing a selective blockade of the regulated exocytosis of acetylcholine thereby triggering a profound albeit transitory muscular paralysis. The scope of this review is to describe the principal steps implicated in botulinum toxin intoxication from the early events leading to a paralysis to the cellular response implementing an impressive synaptic remodelling culminating in the functional recovery of neuromuscular transmission. BoNT/A treatment promotes extensive sprouting emanating from intoxicated motor nerve terminals and the distal portion of motor axons. The current view is that sprouts have the ability to form functional synapses as they display a number of key proteins required for exocytosis: SNAP-25, VAMP/synaptobrevin, syntaxin-I, synaptotagmin-II, synaptophysin, and voltage-activated Na+, Ca2+ and Ca2+-activated K+ channels. Exo-endocytosis was demonstrated (using the styryl dye FM1-43) to occur only in the sprouts in vivo, at the time of functional recovery emphasising the direct role of nerve terminal outgrowth in implementing the restoration of functional neurotransmitter release (at a time when nerve stimulation again elicited muscle contraction). Interestingly, sprouts are only transitory since a second distinct phase of the rehabilitation process occurs with a return of synaptic activity to the original nerve terminals. This is accompanied by the elimination of the dispensable sprouts. The growth or elimination of these nerve processes appears to be strongly correlated with the level of synaptic activity at the parent terminal. The BoNT/A-induced extension and later removal of "functional" sprouts indicate their fundamental importance in the rehabilitation of paralysed endplates, a finding with ramifications for the vital process of nerve regeneration.

hi everyone, i am switching to a new computer ( yay finally !!) and havent been able to be on much. want to make a suggestion ive had for a long time and just not remember it: there is a program called " f.lux" its a small free program you can download here https://justgetflux.com/ it is easy to install and run on windows and i think macs.
this program automatically changes the color of the light coming out of your monitor from blue to more red on the color spectrum. this wont make much sense probly but it mimics natural day/night cycles.
usually our monitor light is bright blue, like light in the day.. .this suppresses melatonin and can mess with our sleep as well as being hard on the eyes ( i cant even use a normal screen anymore i dont know how i ever did) normally at night natural light dims as the sun goes down but our monitors continue producing this bright blue light which as i said can interfere with sleep cycles, as well as just being really tough on the eyes.
you can set this program to whatever brightness works for you,and it automatically dims in the evening at sundown and then brightens in the morning according to the directions you set. you can set it really really low if you want to.. and its reeeeally saved my eyes when im using the computer especialy at night. i really recommend it for those of us with sensitive eyes (which is like most of all of us ) or those of us who use computers a lot ( probably most or all of us ) if i use a normal screen at this point i feel like my eyes are melting from the brightness !! its also good for your brain since blue light can suppress melatonin production in the brain. this is different from just dimming your monitor, it changes where the light is on the color spectrum.
seriously check it out you can find it here i really recommend it ive run it for a good year now and wouldnt be without it. just a little thing to help us with our symptoms of sensitive eyes. https://justgetflux.com/
I am suffering very badly with my swollen stomach and unable to have a bowel movement. I've been looking into colonic irrigation and wondered if any had had tried these and was it helpful.or did it make matters worse?
I am typing this as I hold the heating pad on my chest and pray that this will pass! Went to the GI on Friday for a check up who told me that this cannot be related to Botox. He gave me Rantidine for the heart burn (Xantac), Xanax for severe panic attacks (because I told him about the rapid heart rate), and a low dose of another drug that is used for a hypersensitive esophagus to calm my nerves…all 3 are anticholinergic drugs, which I found out after researching on this site and online. I have had severe stomach issues all day, and the pressure in my chest is unbearable. Had my normal physical today with my GP and an EKG, which was normal. That doc recommended the Xantac twice a day for the next two weeks to see what happens. I don't even tell these docs things anymore because does it really make a difference?? I did take a Xantac tonight just to try it….not sure it is doing a thing. The heat seems to help. Any other tips? Also, taking Vit D as I am low (per blood work with the GYN last month at my yearly physical there)–not sure it's setting right with me. Anyone have issues with Vit D? Thanks for the help!
This shaking is not going away. It is really nearly as bad as it was whenever it was that it started. It's like an electrical wire running current through every part of my body; some parts switch on and some switch off depending on my position. When I am sitting I shake through my legs, shoulders, and arms, sometimes all the way down to my toes. Nothing I have tried makes the slightest difference, except that when I wake up in the morning it's quiet at least for a couple hours. This is how it's been from December onward. There are fasciculations, too. All over my body, including my trunk and back.
I can not stand it. It is either brain or nerve damage and there is no promise that it will ever get better.

The life history of a botulinum toxin molecule.
Simpson L1.
Author information
There is an emerging literature describing the absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination of botulinum toxin. This work reveals that the toxin can be absorbed by both the oral and inhalation routes. The primary mechanism for absorption is binding and transport across epithelial cells. Toxin that enters the body undergoes a distribution phase, which is quite short, and an elimination phase, which is comparatively long. During the distribution phase, botulinum toxin migrates to the peri-neuronal microcompartment in the vicinity of vulnerable cells, such as cholinergic nerve endings. Only these cells have the ability to selectively accumulate the molecule. When the toxin moves from the cell membrane to the cell interior, it undergoes programmed death. This is coincident with release of the catalytically active light chain that paralyzes transmission. Intraneuronal metabolism of light chain is via the ubiquitination-proteasome pathway. Systemic metabolism and elimination is assumed to be via the liver. The analysis of absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination of the toxin helps to create a life history of the molecule in the body. This has many benefits, including: a) clarifying the mechanisms that underlie the disease botulism, b) providing insights for development of medical countermeasures against the toxin, and c) helping to explain the meaning of a lethal dose of toxin. It is likely that work intended to enhance understanding of the fate of botulinum toxin in the body will intensify. These efforts will include new and powerful analytic tools, such as single molecule-single cell analyses in vitro and real time, 3-dimensional pharmacokinetic studies in vivo.

So starting this month, I have very little pain, almost none. But the tremors in my back, neck and bottom lip are almost unbearable. I can't forget for a single second what has happened to me and no matter how hard I try not to I find myself drifting to the internet to read about *anything* that could stop it or help it.
I'll think — if I could just…not be shaking all the time..it would be okay. I could forget this. And then I'll start reading about stuff other people have that have the symptom of "internal tremor". Maybe I have Lou Gehrig's disease. Maybe I am infested with helminths. I've had to absolutely stop myself from buying more crap off the internet that I'm sure have nothing to do with what is really wrong.
No pain is a blessing. None. My eyes are working much much better at 5 months, almost perfect though still floaters. My stomach is wrecked; it goes from being A OK to severely troubling ( do I have tremors because of a stomach problem? Google "Tremors and Left Lower Quadrant Cramp.). But I can have a conversation with strangers in a public setting and look them in the eye. I am not "myself" but I can see them.
I gave up on swim therapy because of the bright red rash I have that will not go away. I worry it's the pool water; I would hate to blow up the way I did a couple weeks ago into redness and swelling on the extremities. This probably means my kidney function isn't good but I've lost faith that bothering to go to see any doctor is going to have any value at all. I have large lymph nodes all over, especially in my armpits. Six months ago I would have thought oh no, breast cancer! Now I think, oh, God…that stuff is in my lymphatic system.
But! The left side is coming back! I think this is why the tremor — the left side is not *all* the way back and my entire hip and psoas process has been pushed out of position. It's weird, there are couple muscles in there that I can't define that don't stop me from walking but it feels *wrong*, unbalanced. That muscle I think is why my back shakes.
My neck and shoulder girdle shake too, and sometimes it's just all over my body. I hate it. It scares me, terrifies me. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not there and I cant figure out if that means I am "better or "worse". I'll try to shift positions to find the weak muscle, so I know which one to work on. I feel like the shaking in a way is progress because it means that there is less paralysis; but then I'll remember I was shaking in the beginning both ways, a tremor like this one and then a kind of scary weave, back and forth; vertigo. I wonder if that is coming back. I have pins and needles — like little raindrops — all up and down my arms that scare the hell out of me. I have no idea what it means. On the Lyme Board they say it is a sure sign of helminths. Does it mean the rest of it is coming back?
My hand dexterity is bad both left and right, now, sometimes my fingers shake over the keyboard. Is that better or worse? Sometimes they work fine, I work fine.
How poisoned am I. Will I be okay next month, next year, will this be over, how will I live. I can't even be the "me" that was "me" for anyone else anymore.
I have been really disinterested in engaging the outside world lately. I blew off an appointment with the ENT his receptionist said he would charge me for anyway. I haven't taken my trash out or done my laundry in a week and a half.
I've been trying to get *some* exercise but to be honest sometimes I'll read what's written here and get discouraged. Nothing that happens now really means progress. It's just activity until the toxin is finished ruining my life, at whatever endpoint it desires. In a way, there is nothing to *do*. Most of the strategies I've tried have been either minimally effective or traumatic. Every day there is a new symptom and I'll spend my evenings mentally gauging how bad is bad enough for the Emergency Room.
None of this is going to kill us, you know. It's just suffering.
I am really scared this morning, I am so confused!!! I was trying to read through some posts I've read before on this so forgive me if it's already been asked, I'm just in so much pain this morning I can't concentrate! Today I am at 12 weeks post for my 200 units in my pelvis and 10 weeks for my second round of 50 units! I have more units than anyone I've seen! I was actually starting to feel a little better week before last having only about 3 bad days a week, when I found out I had a bladder infection! Great I said I was terrified to take antibiotics, they gave me macrobid for 7 days, it was really weird I actually stopped having my bad neuropathy in my legs and just joint pain! Wow I thought I'm getting better, I could do more and started to feel normal a bit! Then 3 days after stopping the antibiotics the burning and tingling and numbness was coming back slowly! Last night I had all my family over for my daughters birthday tried to do all I could for her birthday dinner, could feel I was getting worse, when I laid down to sleep, bam, the pain in my hips and legs were on fire, it felt worse than the beginning pain! The night before last I took a sleeping pill but read last night about acetycholine and did not take it last night! My question long drawn out as it is, is this normal? Will I get better again, what happened? I know I'm early in the game, but is there hope it will get better? I am so miserable and don't know to what to expect! Thanks for any help!
I have now started to have terrible pain in my stomach actually feels like electric shocks going threw it,and my stomach is so swollen and hard and now I'm extremely constipated. I'm to scared to take any laxatives,can anyone give me any advise on what I can do for this please.
I'm pretty new to this illness, but I've got an idea. Does anybody want to go over to Reddit and do an AMA about this? We could all go as a group, whoever wanted to. This problem needs some attention and I would love to get it in front of a couple million people.
One reason doctors aren't concerned about botox injections is because the amounts used are "tiny." But if they are so tiny, when they go systemic why have they made me so sick for so long? I understand the ideas that botulinum is the most toxic substance known to man and that it is potentially a chemical weapon. However *people with botulism* are said to make a full recovery sometimes within several weeks.
What I'm beginning to believe is that since Botox is a "polished medical product" and botulism is a naturally occurring bacterium, that we actually are getting a WHOLE LOT MORE BOTULISM THAN PEOPLE THINK. In the lab, someone can say, well we gave mice this much polished medical product and it took this much to kill them — but in life, when a person gets botulism and they eat a bacterium, you have no idea how much neurotoxin it is releasing. Maybe not so much, maybe not a lot at all. You could have more botulism in you than anyone who goes to the hospital sick from eating home canned pickles.
it's been five months and I have not made anything close to a full recovery, in fact overall I think I'm a little bit worse. Some overt symptoms are gone but now I'm just sick, fatigued, dizzy, shaking, a little stupefied — every single day. Still haven't regained full use of anything on the left side of my body, rashy face and swelling. My stomach is still wrecked, bladder isn't really working right either.
According to the literature, the recovery you make at one full year is the best you will probably ever do. But that's for botulism. It might work the same way, and it might not.

(i just edited this to disable that link from showing a huge (disturbing) preview picture. thats why i put spaces in the link)
hey i just watched an interesting (if a little gross for surgery scenes) movie.. if anyone wants to waste an hour its kind of interesting. its not about botox its about other forms of plastic surgery but it talks a bit about the advertising and how it can give a misleading sense of safety… social pressure to have these kind of procedures.. and more interestingly it talks about several examples of people who had this kind of experience and then later went on to actually change laws to make practices safer. it kind of made me wonder if we were going to change any laws, what would they be?
it was interesting.
out of curiosity i went back to that website the "coalition for injectables safety" of which my dr (past president of ASAPS) is now a member… when you click the link for information on dysport, it takes you right to the 'safety information' at the dysport site.. (rather than, as you would expect, a commercial about how great dysport is) this is the link it takes you to: http://www.dysportusa.com/
very interestingly, it starts right out saying it can cause botulism.
it actually uses that word, and says it straight out.
i find that pretty interesting.. i wonder if this is some kind of new development or what. it definitely wasnt as easy to access that kind of information a couple of years ago.
i mean theres so still no result if you actually -do- any of the stuff is tells you to do, like tell your dr if you have any of those symptoms.. but, at least it starts right out, saying dysport can cause symptoms of botulism. i dont know maybe things -are- changing but they still seem to be changing pretty slow…
this is the first paragraph under "the most important thing you should know about dysport":
"Spread of Toxin Effects: In some cases, the effects of Dysport and all botulinum toxin products may affect areas of the body away from the injection site. These effects can cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. Symptoms of botulism can happen within hours, or days to weeks after injection and may include swallowing and breathing problems, loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, or loss of bladder control. Swallowing and breathing problems can be life threatening and there have been reports of death.
The toxic effects have been reported at doses similar to those used to treat muscle spasms in the neck. Lower doses, in both approved and unapproved uses, have also caused toxic effects."
i dont really remember them beign quite so clear about this previously. do you guys think anythign is changing here? also i was wondering.. if there is anyone in the 'public eye' that we coudl put pressure on to improve these kinds of practices, i was wondering if it could be this group, the coalition for injectables safety.
im not saying i think they would actually listen to us.. but i wonder if there would be any value in trying to put pressure on them or communicate with that group in some way.
edit #2: in contrast to dysport, the botox safety information, (here – http://www.botoxcosmetic.com/ ) does -not- use the word botulism… and they still claim there has not be 'any confirmed case' of spread of toxin. (double speak for, noone will confirm all these cases) interesting.
I want to just put this up here because it was one of my symptoms. *Never* in my life have I had the mumps, I was vaccinated and as far as I know I was not exposed by a family member. I did not meet anybody who had or told me they had had the mumps. However somewhere deep in the literature there is a case report that links botulism to parotitis. I saw someone else who mentioned it here.
I somehow though *had* the mumps ( for 24 hours) six weeks after my injection. That was when my real symptoms started.
Just want to put it out there. I'm wondering if Moderator can add a tag just in case someone else runs across this site in the future with the same experience.
Hi Cameron, sent you a couple of private messages. Thx.
I am testing a new theory starting today.
I started a course of doxycycline a couple days ago and had a terrible reaction to it; I nearly didn't even know I was having a reaction because I was so spaced out and depressed. One of the main symptoms was *shaking* and fasciculations which were scaring me terribly.
So I started poking around the internet and ended up realizing the the symptoms of botox poisoning are probably in theory a lot like the autoimmune disorder myasthenia gravis. Myasthenia Gravis is a condition where the body does not have enough acetylcholine receptors because they are being attacked by the immune system. Too much botox systemically causes a blockade of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction.
One of the things they say about botox is that it can unmask a subclinical case of myasthenia gravis. It could be that some people who breeze by here are experiencing exactly that — not all, but you never know. It's said that if your acetylcholine receptors are 30 percent below normal ( baseline 66 percent of acetylcholine receptors active) you will have symptoms; you will be exhibiting the condition of myasthenia gravis. But even if not, let's say you're at 90 percent — it could be pretty uncomfortable.
Doxycycline is one of the antibiotics that people with myasthenia gravis can't take. I stopped the doxycycline, felt a little better and by the end of the day the shaking was mostly gone. I had other symptoms, but not that, which is good because fasciculations are *upsetting*.
The issue with patients who have myasthenia gravis, and certain drugs, is that the drugs are ANTICHOLINERGIC; meaning they block acetylcholine, which makes these people get worse. Since we ourselves now do not have as much active acetylcholine, it might be that being a botox poisoning victim and having myasthenia gravis might result in the same intolerances.
Some bad ones – *antihistamines* — most of them, the worst one being Benedryl. FLEXERIL, which I was on. H2 blockers like cimetadine and ranitadine, are anticholinergic. Actually there are a ton of things MG people can't take because it will bring about a MYASTHENIC CRISIS which usually involves a ventilator.
So what I'm going to try for the next little while is to STOP ALL ANTICHOLINERGICS. It's actually kind of hard to figure out which ones these are because you have to read the really really fine print to figure it out. Good thing there are lots of handy lists online about this:
Looking at this list I have had a fair number of these things since this all started. Some made me immensely sick — immediate allergic reaction, stomach problems, eye stuff. And the shaking, which drives me crazy.
One thing that makes me think this might be a good theory is that I generally have a lot of the symptoms of anticholinergic poisoning — red face, shaking, fasciculations, reactivity in general. So I'm just going to avoid all anticholinergics to the best of my ability and see how it goes.
Food for thought :).
Does anybody else here wake up with a red face? I haven't had a problem with flushing in probably 20 years, but now I'm always red. I wake up with this way, and if I don't have it in the morning it comes on as a bright hot streak down my cheeks sometime during the day. I'm wondering if this is related to the hair dye but also maybe botox.
I know I asked this once before sort of but it is SO noticeable.
Does anyone have a mark on the body that looks like a snake bite scar. I had this strange marking that appeared in the early stages of the sickness. The mark was located on the upper left side of the torso. It started to fade after 18 months. It never started out as a sore or a hive. It didn't itch or cause discomfort. It was a strange, very evident mark. My husband called it my Botox bite (even though I got Dysport :). My doctor was quite perplexed by it. The reason I ask is that my friend (an African refugee who endured so much trauma in her life) had a stroke and was subsequently given Botox in her arm a few days later to help relax the arm. She described feeling sick in the days after with flu like symptoms that didn't dissipate. She suspected it was the Botox and blames it for impeding her recovery. I was stunned to find on her arm near her shoulder the exact same distinctive mark. It is identical to the one I had. She said it appeared a few days after the Botox. Side note: My mark and her mark were not at the injection site.
Can anyone report if they have this mark?
I'm taking lots of vitamins. Magnesium.fish oil.b12. D 3. B6. Milk thistle. Tumeric.vitamin c.
Some people say that once they stopped all the vitamins it made them feel better. Has this happened to anyone else?

Pyridostigmine for reversal of severe sequelae from botulinum toxin injection.
Young DL1, Halstead LA2.
Author information
Botulinum toxin is used to treat a wide range of dystonias in the head and neck. Occasionally, patients receiving laryngeal botulinum toxin experience severe dysphagia, dyspnea, or even distant and autonomic symptoms. Rarely, these patients may require hospitalization with possible intubation and placement of nasogastric tubes. Botulinum antitoxin is not readily available and ineffective once symptoms have progressed, so patients must wait until the toxin wears off over weeks to months. Pyridostigmine prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, thus making more neurotransmitter available for the muscles.
A retrospective case study of patients receiving botulinum toxin for dystonia in the head and neck from 1998 to 2012 who experienced adverse effects that were successfully treated with pyridostigmine.
Twenty cases were selected and reviewed to demonstrate how pyridostigmine was used to modulate severe dysphagia, breathiness, dyspnea, and some distant/autonomic symptoms.
Pyridostigmine was well tolerated and resulted in significant symptom improvement. Only one significant adverse effect, bradycardia, occurred in a patient with severe cardiac disease.
Given the safety and efficacy of this medication, pyridostigmine should be considered to modulate severe sequelae of botulinum toxin in select patients when conservative management is deemed insufficient. Also, physicians should be aware that patient complaints of symptoms at distant sites and temporally delayed from the injection may be a result of the botulinum toxin and relieved with pyridostigmine.

Appendix XIII: Government opponents in 1555
Available from Boydell and Brewer
Government opponents in 1555
Guildford mus. Loseley 1331/2
A list of some 106 opponents of a bill survives among the papers of William More II of Loseley in Surrey, More himself being one of those named. According to a note at the end of the list 'All these in Queen Mary's time were in the Parliament first holden against the general repeal of all treasons etc. whereby the Statute of the Supremacy was repealed'. This note is almost certainly in a lighter ink and a different hand from the list itself: neither the note nor the list is in the hand of More. An addition made at some time after the original compilation of the list would account for the inaccuracies over the Parliament and the measure concerned. Less than half of the men listed were Members of Mary's first Parliament, but the names on the list correlate with those of the Members of the Queen's fourth Parliament, for which nearly all the returns survive. Some of the names are not known from the returns or from any other source: thus the list is in itself evidence of Membership for the Parliament of 1555. During this Parliament two bills introduced by the government caused controversy: the bill for first fruits and tenths passed the Commons only after a division of 193 to 126 votes on 3 Dec. but that to penalize exiles was rejected on a division forced by (Sir) Anthony Kingston and others three days later. Although it is tempting to identify the list of opponents with the Members who aligned themselves with Kingston on the 6th rather than with the 'noes' of the 3rd, the evidence is too slim, and also too confused, to warrant certainty in the matter.

Topic: Shrubs
Title: Identification of shrub from Kuala Lumpur
Answered by: Barbara Medford
I am seeing too much of shrubs used for landscaping that looks like dill, its stems are pretty woody and its leaves looks and smells like dill, are they the same? Can I consume this shrub that looks like dill? Please help me to understand.ANSWER:
We are sorry, but the expertise of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center (and Mr. Smarty Plants) is limited to the growth, propagation and protection of plants native not only to North America but to the areas in which those plants grow natively. Anethum graveolens, dill, while it has been introduced in areas around the world, is native to Southeastern Asia. As for the identity of a dill-like shrub in Malaysia, that is WAY out of our field. We will say, however, that we would personally eat nothing about which we knew nothing, whatever it looks and smells like. Here are pictures of dill from Google; perhaps you can compare them to the shrubs you see; we would still ask someone, perhaps from a university or in a public garden, what that shrub is and then investigate it for edibility and possible poisonous parts.

Business & EconomyQ&A: Understanding the Marikana strikes What wider implications will ongoing strikes after the "Marikana massacre" have for South African politics? 09 Sep 2012 12:04 GMT | Business & Economy, Ghana, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe Workers continue to strike in Marikana, demanding a 300 per cent wage hike [Reuters]Johannesburg, South Africa - The town of Marikana in the North West province of South Africa made international headlines on August 16, when police opened fired and killed 34 miners engaged in a protracted strike action outside the Lonmin platinum mine.The killing sparked international outrage and a national commission of enquiry was set up to investigate what has become known as the "Marikana massacre". Meanwhile the strike itself has continued unabated, as workers have remained resolute on their demands for a 300 per cent wage hike that experts say the industry will not be able to afford. But the protracted strike has revealed severe tears within the labour movement. The violent rivalry between National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) has raised hard questions over the labour movement's ability to represent workers adequately during a time of rising worker insecurity, unemployment and economic strife.With NUM traditionally seen as the vanguard of the well being of miners, developments in Marikana suggest that biggest union in South Africa might be in a midst of a crisis that signal a shift in industrial relations in the country. Al Jazeera's Azad Essa speaks to Crispen Chinguno, a researcher of Industrial and Economic Sociology at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg about the multiple layers of the strike action that could have wider implications for South African politics. Azad Essa: Miners have been striking for the past four weeks over poor pay and living conditions. But what are the wider issues at play here?Crispen Chinguno: The hostel type accommodation [developed under aparthed] has been phased out since 1994 and now the majority of miners live in informal settlements, in shacks or mkhukus as they refer to them here. In these settlements there are no roads, electricity, water or proper sanitation ... there are virtually no services. The workers in the mines have become too fragmented when compared to the era before 1994. Crispen Chinguno There are those who directly work for the mines and some of these live in better conditions but most are in squalid conditions. But their proportion is fast diminishing as employers prefer subcontractors. The proportion of workers in the mining industry hired by subcontractors is growing. Some of them earn as low as R1800 a month ($220). These are the miners who are hardest hit. Mining companies are increasingly using subcontractors, as they attempt to reduce the number of permanent staff and reduce costs and many miners are now hired as temporary or casual labour, including the rock drillers. At some mines, there can be as many as 40 subcontractors and labour brokers employing miners on behalf of the company. Take the case of the Impala platinum mine for example, at least 42 per cent are working through sub contractors. This has affected the unions ability to organise and as a result it has become difficult to build worker collective solidarity. Thus violence becomes the tool to forge worker collective solidarity.AE: There are many questions over the 300 per cent salary hike demanded by workers especially during a time where mining industry has slowed due to the global recession. Is this fair criticism? CC: This is not surprising. Journalists are not taking much time and care to understand the connection between the communities where these mine workers live and their workplace. What happens at the workplace and the community are inextricably connected. The miners live precarious lives both at home and work. Most informal settlements are illegal and they know they can be moved out at any time. Their conditions are so bad such that they can hardly send their kids to school. They can hardly feed their families. It is imperative that we connect the two worlds, then understanding their demands for a 300 per cent wage hike will suddenly not appear as 'unreasonable' or 'outrageous' as has been reported. Miners are challenging a system that is based on exploitation and inequality that persisted for the 150 years history of the mining industry in South Africa; an unequal and absurd model of sharing surplus. If they win in this struggle it may extricate them from the trap of poverty and inequality. Workers know that the mines are making huge profits. AE: But why now? What has happened for miners to have become so resolute about their demands?CC: I think they have now realised NUM - which helped fight against apartheid in the workplace and in society - is no longer on their side. They feel the union has been co-opted and compromised. As a result, they have lost confidence in it. They see the union as captured by management. This is a common problem with trade unions. As they grow bigger they go through what Lister calls goal displacement, in other words, they move closer towards articulation of the interests of management and at the same time drift away from the interests of their membership.AE: What role is the rival union, the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU), playing in this dispute?CC: It is a union that has existed since 1998 - and for all these years - it has tried to make a breakthrough towards organising workers in the mining industry and was facing formidable challenges. They made a breakthrough at Lonmin Karee in 2011 and then at Impala where they now represent thousands and NUM has almost been dislodged. This situation [in Marikana] was an opportunity for them to make a breakthrough in an industry and in an environment where it is difficult for new unions to make an impact in the workplace because of a collective bargaining agreement and labour relations regime that protect hegemonic trade unions. To get full recognition, unions need to have a membership of at least 50 per cent. This closes room for small trade unions and avoids trade union competition .This is designed to promote big trade unions. So AMCU seized this opportunity and you cannot blame them.AE: Is it significant that AMCU has able to make a breakthrough in the mining sector? CC: If you want to understand the socio, economic and political order of South Africa, you have to understand the mining industry. What this tells us now is that we might be experiencing a shift in the labour relations regime in the country. We may be moving away from the hegemonic trade union regime, to a new era where there can be more than one big union in an industry - representing black workers on the shop floor. This is a direct challenge to COSATU's principle of 'one union one industry' - and this is why we have had this violence in Marikana. Of course you have these small former white unions still existing. They are a legacy of the past and now usually represent the more skilled workforce. They do not appeal to the shop floor black working class. To have a big union not affiliated to COSATU and appealing to ordinary black shop floor workers especially in mining sector is something new. AE: The big question then is if these developments pave the way toward a break from labour and the governing African National Congress (ANC)? People know that that the government grossly miss handled this case and it has opened the way for political opportunists and [President] Zuma opponents to capitalise on it. CC: In way it is the big question that many trade unions in Africa have faced. How should the trade union relate to the ruling political movement? Should it forge an alliance or be independent? In the African context, this is a question that has been asked in Ghana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and many others. It often pops up now and then. Some argue that the South African model of alliance is best way to influence the political system. However, others argue that the union lose independence and become less critical. And I have been asking workers in my research if they would still vote for the ANC - and most of them say they will continue to do so. They remain overwhelmingly ANC supporters. As is it stands it seems many are, not connecting the shop floor issues with the national politics. This however, may change in future and may be the beginning marking the erosion of ANC hegemony in South African politics. This is not to say that the events of Marikana won't influence what happens at the ANC policy conference in December. People know that that the government grossly miss handled this case and it has opened the way for political opportunists and [President] Zuma opponents to capitalise on it.AE: Finally, how do you see this labour dispute being resolved? CC: The parties are still bargaining through other means. I mean through non conventional means. It is a question of power at play here, that is, between the workers and their employers. The way this event unfolded has somehow strengthened workers. It has emboldened them. They have gained sympathy. It has consolidated their solidarity and militancy. It has created martyrs. This situation cannot be resolved by signing peace accords. The peace accord signed by Lonmin, NUM, Solidarity and UASA is not going to make any change to this impasse. It's an accord that has the wrong people on the table.This situation can only be resolved by a compromise by the workers and the employers. But in this equation the employer has to concede more. The employer need to understand that the problem is a challenge to the industrial relations system and cannot be resolved by the current regulations.Source: Al Jazeera

We launched leggings! Step into a world of individuality.
My brother was and still is a great inspiration when it comes to music. Three years older than me, Chuck was in a band by the time he was a young teenager. In my 5th grade year, his band was playing about a block away from where we lived in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. I'll never forget sneaking out of the house and sitting on the lawn across the street listening to him playing guitar as he sang, "House of the Rising Sun." I loved every minute of it, although I would never tell him that, well, at least not during that stage of life, but he sure knows it now. I remember when we both started listening to Guess Who. It was in 1968 or 1969.
Several years ago, I saw Guess Who live in Folsom, California. The entire time, I thought of Chuck and how he would have loved to be there. The guards gave me entrance into the gate to photograph closeups, which was awesome!
So, this one is for you dear Chuck, with many thanks for your incredible musical talent. Chuck plays keyboards, drums, guitar, harmonica, bongos – heck you name it! The gift of music that he gave to me started when I was only about 7 years old or younger! Chuck taught me that music not only comes straight from the heart, but that it also sinks deeply with great depth and emotion into both the heart and soul as well! My Big Bro' is one heck of a fisherguy and he still paddles in my first kayak that I gave to him almost 10 years ago. Here is one of Chuck's musical fishing videos.
If you would like to hear more of Chuck's music, here is his web site: Fishnmusicn
Furthermore, he does have a RB site, check it out at: drumsandkeys
My life is like a well read book that's never ending, at least for this moment in time. As I continually add new chapters to my book, I find that my photography plays a big part in it. This is most especially true as my great love and fascination with Mother Naure never wanes. It's my hope that you, too, will share my joy as the pages in my book of life continue to flip forward! My Very Best, Polly Peacock

Nice tribute to Chuck and his video is awesome!! That is some BIG fish!!
cheers, Rosie xoxo
Thanks so much as always Rosie!! Chuck is a very talented musician! LOL – My first concert was Johnny Winters and Black Sabbath, probably in 1969!! Actually, because none of the young kids knew who Guess Who was, they went off to the bars and we had lots of room and it was very easy to get up front and center!!! I'm so glad that you like Chuck's video – his music is incredible and yes, he almost always has some BIG FISH!! ha ha ha!!! Thanks again dear Rosie!! xoxoxo!! :))))
– Polly Peacock

– Polly Peacock
Thanks for your nice comments Pol. I enjoyed your pic of the Guess Who and yes, I would have loved to have been there. Keep up the great work and lots of love always…
Big Bro

– Polly Peacock
Cool shot!
You must have had great tickets!
There were no tickets – just a general admission. So many young kids were there, but they didn't have a clue who Guess Who was, so they went to the bars and the rest of us old hippies sang and danced all night!! LOL!! You could easily get right up to the stage – it was totally amazing Estes and an awesome concert!! Thanks so much as always!! :))))
– Polly Peacock
I still like to play along to the Guess Who on my electronic drums, great music and I see the original drummer still playing in your picture. Brings back good memories and nostalgic times. How about a little "House of the Rising Sun"? Like the Guess Who its all good music, getting harder to find these days, guess I'm getting to be an old fart!
They are ALL original band members Chaz!! Yup, love House of the Rising Sun – whenever I listen to it or sing it, I lovingly think of you!!! Hey doncha worry, I'm old farting right behind ya big bro!! xoxoxoxoxo!! :))))

Damaged wires have resulted in some Marlborough grape growers choosing to prune by hand, rather than use machines to strip them.
With the pruning season well under way, contractors said they had noticed more growers were asking for their vines to be hand-stripped.
Grapeworx Marlborough owner Mack Pouwhare said he had definitely had more clients wanting their vines hand-stripped. "What a lot of growers think is that their wires are getting damaged, but I haven't seen any myself."
Pouwhare has three machine strippers, also known as climbers.
"It's most cost-effective to do it by machine than hand because you cover more ground. If you go back to hand-stripping everything, which will never happen - I would need three times the number of staff. Hand-stripping is very slow."
But it was the growers' choice, he said.
Alapa Viticultural Services owner Alan Wilkinson said his teams were hand-stripping more because some blocks had not been set up for a klima.
He trialled a new-generation klima during the weekend that was supposed to be gentler on vines, he said.
"It will save thousands of man hours. We just won't have enough people in the region to hand-strip everything."
Some growers were going back to hand-stripping because the machines could stretch the wires, he said.
"The poor wrappers have to wait for someone to then come and fix them."
Delegats vineyard manager Mark Noble said the company was "parking up" its machine strippers.
Originally Delegats hand-stripped its vines, then began machine-stripping.
But the company had decided to go back to hand-stripping, Noble said.
"The rationale behind it is the quality of work . . . we were starting to compromise the pruners' focus more on the mechanics rather than the quality of the cane selections," he said.
Delegats wanted to ensure "quality of workmanship".
"Financially it's costing us a few cents more . . . but we view it as a long-term thing."
Wither Hills viticultural manager Rex Butt was machine-stripping most vines but hand-stripping a few older vines.
"There are also some short rows that the machine can't travel down. We are machine-stripping as many as we normally do, if not more."
He did not see a big difference between the two approaches. For Wither Hills, it was about the expense and convenience.

'Orphan Black' Reacts to Tatiana Maslany Emmy Snub
The star of BBC America's clone drama failed to make the cut on Thursday morning.
Orphan Black and its star Tatiana Maslany were shut out of the Emmys early on Thursday—and BBC America's clone conspiracy thriller made sure to address it with some cheeky tweets.
FULL COVERAGE The List of Emmy Nominees
Maslany, who plays nearly a dozen characters on Orphan Black, was considered a threat to sneak into the outstanding drama actress category, which will see Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife), Kerry Washington (Scandal), Robin Wright (House of Cards), Lizzy Caplan (Masters of Sex), Claire Danes (Homeland) and Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey) vying for the prize. The Hollywood Reporter's awards analyst Scott Feinberg slotted Maslany—who was trending on Twitter worldwide following the nominations announcement—as the sixth nomination in his final Emmy nomination forecast.

A first-time nomination for Maslany wasn't outside the realm of possibility, as she scored her first Golden Globe nomination earlier this year and recently won her second Critics Choice TV Award.
PHOTOS Emmy Awards: The Nominees
The Clone Club will have something to celebrate: On Wednesday, BBC America officially renewed the series for a third 10-episode season, with co-creators Graeme Manson and John Fawcett already in the midst of planning the new arc.
"A lot of the things that we put in motion at the end of season two are obviously big story components going forward and new pieces to the puzzle," Fawcett told THR in June. "We believe in giving the audience answers, but we have our mysteries and we want to earn the answers. This is kind of a new aspect to the larger puzzle that is Orphan Black."
Maslany isn't alone in her Emmy snub this year. Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss, The Blacklist's James Spader and Golden Globe-winner Andy Samberg (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) are among those who failed to make the cut.
