With Deepest Sympathy to Karen and Family and Rusty, Cindy, Doug and Allen, With the loss of Richard. He was a Good man. David Harrison.
Today we pay our respect to my favorite brother in law, Rich. Over the last 40 years of being a guest in Karen & Rich's home of many times. He was the kind southern gentlemen, I never heard him raise his voice. He let us girls shop & do our thing. Most recently, 2 months ago I spent 2 weeks with them, Rich coming in after his fishing trip that he dearly loved, with a smile and a bag of fish, we barbecued, it was good. Was either going off to play poker with the boys or to have lunch. Next he was out on the dance floor dancing with all the girls at Karens 60th B'Day party even tho his legs were so swollen. I brought Rich his all time favorite alaskan king crab legs. I fixed him five pds and said i'mm not inviting anyone else to eat, as I want you to have it all & he did, didn't feel too good the next day, so glad he got them one last time. He took a car load of us women to the airport for a girls get away, when I got out of the car I said, "Thank you Rich , you are the best". So glad I got to make more memories with him.Rest in Peace Rich, you truly were the best.Sister In Law Dee
Sorry to hear about Richard. He will be missed by all. He was a good basketball teammate and friend. Sorry to hear about Richard. He will be missed by all. He was a good basketball teammate and friend. My thoughts and prayers for his wonderful family.

Barry holds City talks
Aston Villa have confirmed that midfielder Gareth Barry is holding discussions with Premier League rivals Manchester City. The England international's future has been the subject of widespread speculation since a move to Liverpool collapsed last summer. The Reds were unwilling to meet Villa's £18million valuation of Barry, who is keen to play UEFA Champions League football, but money-rich City could be prepared to offer the desired fee. City will not be playing in Europe next season, but they have aspirations to become a top-four Premier League club following the arrival of Sheikh Mansour in 2008. Barry's current contract with Villa expires at the end of next season and boss Martin O'Neill has previously stated that deal will be allowed to expire if the player does not commit.

Having started a VFX course here at Escape Studios, I'm keeping a diary to share with you how the course is going so far. And here's an update on week eight.
Week 8
Day 36:
Linear workflow & 3 point lighting. We learnt lots today and very worthwhile too. Gamma correcting all 8bit colour textures. All I learnt today was completely new to me. In fact I had never heard of anything I was learning and didnt realise it was a problem present in my last project, which I can go back to and correct now for better overall results. Project work was going at a steady pace and it was exciting to look around at everyone elses projects in full flow.
Day 37:
Ill. Panic stations! I caught a bug and I'm scared of missing out. Nothing I can do but go to the doctor and try to recover asap.
Day 38:
Ill, still. Really nervous about missing out so I called in to arrange a extra tutorial with the studio assistant when I get back. He kindly agreed to bring me back up to speed and I am so very grateful for him going the extra mile to help me catch up.
Day 39:
Back to health, almost. Jumped in half way through a lighting tutorial using a shader which i never knew existed in Maya. I had to load some script to unlock a hidden shader, all very exciting. It's so straight forward and the most complete shader in Maya that I've seen so far. Was a pleasant surprise. Project work went well and I booked a steadycam and camera to shoot my backplate for project 2.
Day 40:
Project work today. I went out and bought a torch or two to test run an idea I was given for my project. It turned out with great results and I'm excited about learning how to achieve what I saw Mark showing me with Nuke. The project has got me really excited and I'm going to add extra detail to my objects this weekend and hope for the best when shooting the backplate on Monday. Fingers crossed.

This is a great dupe for OPI San-tan-tonio just a tad yellower but perfect if you have olive/golden undertones (I am a super fair olive tone). Dries so quick and is that perfect caramel nude beige - I would describe it as 'Nubuck' if I was the name developer of this product.

Natural beauty is one of the nail polishes that is apart of Maybellines fall 2011 collection. I didn't realize until I got the polish home that it is a 98% dupe for OPI's San-Tan Tonio from their spring 2011 Texas collection. I say 98% because some nail affacianadoes will find something different but for all intents and purposes their dupes.
Natural beauty is midtone tan cream. The formula is passable. Not really much to say it's great transition color from summer to fall or from winter to spring. If you have many tan creams then this might not appeal to you but I can never have enough of this color family.

NFL Schedule Makers Screwed The Eagles Something Serious

Week15: Dec 13, 8pm Bengals
Week16: Dec 23, 1pm RedSkins
Week17: Dec 30, 1pm @Giants
BTB – The Eagles will face FOUR teams this season that are coming off their BYE week:
The Steelers have their BYE on Week 4. They face the Eagles Week 5.
The Lions have their BYE on Week 5. They face the Eagles Week 6.
The Falcons have their BYE on Week 7. They face the Eagles Week 8.
The Redskins have their BYE on Week 10. They face the Eagles Week 11.
And if all of that wasn't bad enough, the Giants have a Thursday night game Week 3, and then face the Eagles Week 4, which will give the Giants 3 extra days of rest/preparation. Then, later in the season, the Eagles face the Cowboys the week after Thanksgiving. As we all know, the Cowboys play on Thanksgiving every year, which gives them 3 extra days of rest for their next opponent. But guess what? The Eagles happen to play on MONDAY during Thanksgiving week, which gives the Cowboys FOUR extra days of rest/prep.
Nice work, NFL. I see what you're doing here. The Good Guys finally have a little bit of time to work together and build that all-important team chemistry, and here you come along to give the rest of the league a fighting chance. Can't have Michael Vick and company running ruckshot over everyone else — it wouldn't be fair. So what do you do? Give 6 of the opponents the humungusbig advantage of extra preparation time.
Whatever. Can't even sweat that at this point. The focus must be on the draft. The Recliner GM did a great piece yesterday about "The very simple reason the Eagles can't reach the next level". Any guesses as to what that is?
"The Eagles are completely incapable of drafting, and developing, young defensive players."
The blog goes through in much detail to make the case that the Eagles have completely failed at drafting quality defensive players. Which brings me to another interesting thing I wanted to share: Mel Kiper's Big Board in May 2011.
Who are some of these guys? The thing is, nobody knows what the fuck they're talking about and who will be a quality NFL player. It's all a crapshoot. Some teams are obviously better at assessing talent than others, but no team has the ability to look at a college player and guarantee their success. It can't be done. Which is why I laugh when teams like the Redskins trade 3 first round picks for a single guy. Because mathematically/scientifically they're fucking themselves into even more years of mediocrity. And how hilarious is that?
Let's just hope Andy and Howie can get lucky on D this year.
PS – Infuriating side note: Jerome McDougle was drafted one spot ahead of Troy Polamalu.

One point I think you might have missed:
Concrete sealers will also protect concrete from deicer materials, which can increase the freeze-thaw cycle of water inside of concrete. As that water expands and contracts, it will break the concrete surface down. Additionally, the deicers will remain in the concrete as the water evaporates, crystallizing underneath the surface and creating pressure that will make the surface chip and split.
Sealing these concrete surfaces will protect them from that kind of damage, leading to longer-lasting, more attractive concrete. I recommend Concrete Treat for these kinds of applications. You can order it online.

Episode Information
In honor of its reissue on Jealous Butcher Records, we're traveling through M. Ward's 2003 album Transfiguration of Vincent.
Even five years after its debut, this LP hasn't lost any punch. And its
mesh of sound savvy folk pop tunes, will make it just as reissuable
after five more years.
We've also got some energetic afrobeat and jazz funk from Michigan's NOMO. Ghost Rock
is the band's fourth LP and they continue their ongoing blend of
electric instruments into the genre. The group is exploring new ideas
with each album, and Ghost Rock is undoubtedly their most sonically adventurous to date.

As tattoos grow in popularity, so does removal process (Video)
Aug. 17, 2013 at 3:17 a.m.
Updated Aug. 18, 2013 at 3:18 a.m.
Questions to ask before going in for tattoo removal treatments:
Which tattoo removal procedure is right for me, and what are the options?
What is the estimated cost?
How long is one appointment?
How many treatments will I need?
How far apart are the treatments?
What are the common side effects or complications associated with the procedure?
How can I prepare for the treatment/procedure?
Does tattoo removal hurt?
What are my pain management and anesthesia options?
How long is the recovery time associated with my procedure?
Do you have before-and-after patient images to help to prepare me for what to expect?
Will someone walk me through the process before going in for treatment?
What are the risks?
What should I expect after the procedure is performed (includes side effects, activity restrictions, expected recovery period and so on)?
Source: American Society of Dermatological Surgery website
Black tattoos are the easiest to remove by laser because black soaks up the most light.
The worse a reaction is following a laser removal procedure, the better. Blistering, for instance, means the ink is breaking up.
Older tattoos are typically easier to remove than new ones.
Thirty-eight percent of Millennials (ages 18-29) have at least one tattoo, while 32 percent of those in Generation X (ages 30-45) have one. Fifteen percent of Baby Boomers (ages 46-64) have one, but only 6 percent of Silents (those 65 and up) do.
source: Dr. Sean Hamilton, Dr. Nhi Le and the Pew Research Center study "Millennials: A Portrait of Generation Next"
With bright pink stress balls clutched in hand and tanning goggles protecting her eyes, Paige Stringo set off for the second round of a treatment to reverse a youthful indiscretion.
The registered nurse was 21 when she had a smiling Mickey Mouse inked above her right ankle. Now, at 42, she wants it off.
"I'm a mom and an RN - a professional," she said. "Some people judge you - they really do - when they see you have a tattoo."
Stringo is part of a growing population of people who opted for body art in the past but later had a change of heart, said Dr. Sean Hamilton with the Victoria Vein & Surgery Clinic, where Stringo's procedures are underway.
Hamilton noted a 2012 study released by The British Association of Dermatologists, which analyzed 580 polling responses from people with tattoos. Of those, about one-third reported regretting the tattoo.
"I've read that, in the U.S., about 50 percent of people will have tattoo regret," he said. "And we've got about 50 million Americans with tattoos."
Hamilton's clinic at 1701 E. Red River St. began offering laser tattoo removal in October, said Brittney Payne, a medical assistant and laser technician with the clinic. Since the start, she said she estimates she's performed nearly 100 procedures.
Names are the most common removals left up to herself and "the Cadillac," the clinic's machine, she said.
Treatments start at $150 each, but the price increases with the size of the tattoo. A 4-inch tattoo costs $200 per treatment and so on, Payne said, noting packages are available.
Removal has always been available, Hamilton said, whether through excision, abrasion techniques, cryogenics or even salt solutions. Laser treatment became the standard within the past 10 to 15 years, however.
The staff at Victoria Vein & Surgery evaluates the tattoo based on the Kirby-Desai Scale, which factors in skin type, colors, location and other points to determine how many treatments it will take.
In most cases, Payne said, it takes five to seven sessions to completely remove the art. Still, some patients simply want the tattoo lightened so they can cover it up with a new tattoo.
When it comes time to begin the removal, the clinic uses a pulse wave laser that oscillates quickly, Hamilton explained.
Wavelengths fractionate the tattoo dyes in the dermis and epidermis while a "cryo machine" cools the skin, helping to numb the area and aiding in comfort.
Blacks and blues are easiest to remove, Payne said, while yellows and greens are among the more difficult colors to get out.
Victoria's Fountain of Youth Medical Spa has offered laser treatments for things such as hair removal and vein treatments since it opened seven years ago and expanded its services with time, said Dr. Nhi Le, with the spa. After the business purchased its RevLite machine two years ago, tattoo removal also joined the list.
Le said she, too, has seen the number of tattoo removals increase and attributed it to several factors.
Many people regret having exes' names or likenesses permanently on their bodies, for instance, while others sport low-quality, amateur tattoos. For still others, it's employment issues - their companies require them to cover their artwork for instance - that brings them through her doors.
Regardless, she said she feels good knowing she's doing something to help.
"People will feel better on the inside if they look good on the outside," she said.
Dr. Alexander Berlin, president of Arlington's DFW Skin Surgery Center PLLC, said he has been removing tattoos for about seven years.
He encouraged those considering laser treatments to do their homework when going in for consultations.
Make sure the clinic you're considering offers the right type of laser, as different tattoo colors require different wavelengths, he advised. If possible, obtain the actual ink composition from the business that gave you the tattoo, since some contain unusual mixtures that make removal more difficult.
Different skin types react differently to removal attempts, he said, and under some circumstances, colors can shift because of laser light.
"While we're getting better at it, we're still not perfect at tattoo removal. And it's a long and costly process," he said. "It's still a lot easier and cheaper not to get one in the first place."
And Stringo agreed it isn't easy.
After her first round about eight weeks ago, the entire tattoo blistered, with fragments of the ink visible inside. And while she attempted to take the second round without the numbing Lidocaine, she couldn't take the pain.
Stringo likened the laser's pulses to the way it might feel to receive multiple bee stings and said she welcomed the numbing shots.
Still, there is an upside.
She purchased the package of seven treatments, for instance, but saw such strong results after the first round that the process might go more quickly.
Really, she said, a little pain is worth it to rid herself of the artwork that has made her self-conscious all these years.
"It hurt putting it on, and it's gonna hurt taking it off," she said with a shrug. "That's just how it is."

Alice Adams (writer)
This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2008) |
Alice Adams (August 14, 1926 – May 27, 1999)[1] was an American novelist, short story writer, and university professor.
Alice Adams was born in Fredericksburg, Virginia, grew up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and attended Radcliffe College, graduating in 1946. She married Mark Linenthal, with whom she lived in Paris for one year, followed by a move to Palo Alto where he attended Stanford University. Their only child, artist Peter Linenthal, was born in 1951. During the early 1950s, a psychiatrist told her she should stay married but stop writing;[2] she ignored that advice and finally sold her short story, Winter Rain, to Charm magazine. Soon after that her marriage broke up, and she spent many years as a single mother, working as a secretary. Her first novel was, Careless Love (1966); in 1969 she began publishing stories in The New Yorker and received growing recognition. Her domestic partner from 1965-1987 was interior designer Robert McNie; she enjoyed close friendships with authors Max Steele, Ella Leffland, and Diane Johnson, and editors Frances Kiernan, William Abrahams, and Victoria Wilson. She wrote eleven novels, including the bestseller Superior Women, but is best known and most admired for her short stories, collected in Beautiful Girl (1979), To See You Again (1982), Return Trips (1985), After You've Gone (1989), and The Last Lovely City (1999), as well a in the posthumous selection called The Stories of Alice Adams (2002).
Adams's place in late-twentieth-century American literature has been earned, writes Christine C. Ferguson, "not only by the skill and deftness of her prose, but also by her challenge to hackneyed dismissal of love's redemptive possibilities. She presents a world where the potential for smart and independent women to have their cake and eat it, too, to enjoy professional and romantic success, stubbornly persists even if not often realized. No romanticist, Adams never flinches from describing all the vagaries and disappointments that afflict sexual and platonic relationships, but neither does she ever permit these descriptions to produce a sense of crushing pessimism."[3] She received numerous awards, including the O. Henry Lifetime Achievement Award and Best American Short Stories Award.[1]
She was a visiting writer at Stanford University, the University of California, Davis, and the University of California at Berkeley.[4]
Adams sometimes followed a pattern she called ABDCE in outlining a short story, which she described to her friend Anne Lamott. "The letters stand for Action, Background, Development, Climax, and Ending. You begin with action that is compelling enough to draw [the reader] in, make us want to know more. Background is where you ... see and know who these people are, how they've come to be together, what was going on before the opening of the story. Then you develop these people, so that we learn what they care most about. The plot – the drama, the actions, the tension – will grow out of that. You move them along until everything comes together in the climax, after which things are different for the main characters, different in some real way. And then there is the ending: what is our sense of who these people are now, what are they left with, what happened, and what did it mean?"[5]
Adams died at home in San Francisco, California, in 1999. She is survived by her son, artist Peter Linenthal. [1]

Two halves and two overtimes were not enough to settle the Horizon League quarterfinals on Tuesday afternoon, and after eight rounds of penalty kicks Butler defeated Valparaiso 5-4 in the shootout at Eastgate Field after the two sides played to a 2-2 draw through 110 minutes.
Kristen Manski (Saint Charles, Ill./North H.S.) saved Butler's first kick in the shootout while Valpo made its first three tries. Tied at three after the Bulldogs' fourth attempt, Butler's Julie Burton made a stop of the Crusaders' fourth attempt. Both keepers saved the fifth attempts and the shootout went to sudden death.
Round six saw Butler's Caroline Kowal and Valpo's Amanda Ulin (Solon, Iowa/Solon H.S.) trade makes before round seven saw Manski make a save while the Crusaders missed wide left. Rachael Melendez converted what would be the match-winner in round eight while Valpo's attempt to tie hit the goal post.
"Penalty kicks are always a difficult way to decide a match," head coach John Marovich said afterwards. "I respect each and every kid that steps up and takes one. They took the full responsibility to put their team on their shoulders. It's a hard way to end the season because the battled so hard all season long."
Valpo struck first just under 18 minutes into the match. Abby Kenyon (Canton, Ohio/Jackson H.S.) flipped the throw-in deep into the goal mouth and Luisa Desario (Bartlett, Ill./Bartlett H.S.) got her head on the ball and beat Burton to make it 1-0 Crusaders.
Just 1:32 later, the Crusaders added to their advantage. Casey Pedersen (Northville, Mich./Mercy H.S.) collected a loose ball about 40 yards from goal and fired a blast into the back of the net.
Brooke Henderson (Westlake, Ohio/Westlake H.S.) nearly made it 3-0 Crusaders two minutes later, hitting the post with a shot.
Butler, the tournament's sixth seed, cut the Valpo lead to 2-1 at the 28:16 mark as Rachel Scott knocked home a rebound in the box from a Katie Griswold shot.
Olivia Colosimo tied the match at two just 5:28 before halftime converting a free kick from the top of the 18-yard box.
"We battled really hard to score two early goals, unfortunately we gave a couple away late in the half," Marovich added.
The Bulldogs outshot Valpo 14-8 in the opening stanza, with both Manski and Burton making three saves.
Valpo, the three seed in the tournament, outshot Butler 6-3 in the second half, forcing Burton to make four more saves to force overtime.
In the first extra session, Kesley Draper (Perrysburg, Ohio/Perrysburg H.S.) hit the crossbar with just over two minutes remaining and Laura Romberg's (Vernon Hills, Ill./Vernon Hills H.S.) rebound attempt went just high.
Neither team had a quality chance in the second overtime, and the match went to penalty kicks.
Butler outshot Valpo 20-17 for the match with Burton making seven saves while Manski had four stops.
We wanted to give the campus a Horizon League Tournament win today," Marovich concluded. "Everyone was so supportive and we wanted to thank everyone that took time out on a Tuesday afternoon to come out and watch us. Unfortunately it didn't happen."
With the match officially going in the record books as a tie, Valpo finishes the year with three straight draws and an 8-6-5 record.
Butler (8-9-2) advances to the semifinals on Friday evening to face top-seeded Milwaukee in Milwaukee, Wis.
Match Notes: This was Valpo's third penalty kick shootout all-time, defeating Oakland 4-2 in the Mid-Continent Conference semifinals in 1999 while falling to Youngstown State 5-4 in the first round in 2008 … Butler holds a 6-3-1 all-time series advantage between the two schools … Tracy Roos (Centennial, Colo./Cherry Creek H.S.) concluded her career starting all 77 matches of her career, ranking fourth on the all-time charts … she finished sixth all-time on the career matches played list as well … Desario's goal was the 14th of her career, tying her for sixth on the all-time list with teammate Rachel Hoaglin (Lakeville, Minn./Academy of Holy Angels H.S.) and Sarah Jewell (2006-2009) … Desario also has 35 career points now, tied with Lindsay Holley (2001-2004) for seventh all-time … Pedersen's goal was the eighth of her Valpo career and she graduates with 21 career points … Manski finished the season with a 0.92 goals against average, third on the single season charts … Valpo has tied seven straight overtime matches dating back to 2010.

In this fight for reclaiming our Country...

My family disowned me for speaking the truth
I knew most of my fellow slaves would attack me when faced with the reality of our situation but I never thought in a million years I would be ousted by my parents and sisters for promoting truth and reason. I never expect to speak to them ever again and I'm okay with it.
I've got the support of my wife and daughter which is all that really matters to me anymore.
Hopefully families in the future will again be one of the most important parts of all our lives but many of us have had to choose the message of freedom and liberty over propagandized family members who remain willfully ignorant.

I've been told you can't pick your family...
But you can. If your blood family has disowned you, then by all means find someone out there who you can befriend as a family. We all need family and to deny this is to do so at our own peril.
There old men in your very town who would love nothing more than to befriend your family.
I know that family's can have tremendous disagreements but time usually will settle those types of problems.

At 50 I don't need a mom and dad or siblings anymore but
believe me...I've got a lot of friends that are as close or closer to me than my family ever was. When I lost my home in 2009 my wife and I were offered a roof over our head with 4 different households. We stayed in a garage apartment of one of my friends for 6 months free of charge. Our circle of friends are vital to us. We get unconditional support from them based on 20+ years of helping each other out and establishing genuine mutual respect.
My family ALWAYS required conditions for me to be accepted. I played along for many years but somewhere around age 45 I decided that if they didn't like me for who I was...so be it.
One of my sisters is a Lockheed Martian millionaire. She is over the top religious but her and her husband see no problem repeatedly bombing the $hit out of brown people. They have a HUGE home in Maryland and tried really hard to get my wife and I to move in with them when we lost our home but the offer came with a legal pad list of rules that we had to abide by if we decided to take them up on it.
For instance...I would be required to stop smoking and I would have to attend some church group that was for "non-believers".
They were stunned (and still are it seems) that we esentially chose to be homeless rather than move in to their mansion under their rules.
We now have a tiny little place of our own and we have never been happier, less stressed, and felt more free! And I can smoke in my home. :-)
I very rarely drink and I only occasionally use drugs recreationally...but both my sisters and my Mom all take psychotropic meds, sleeping pills, and eat for entertainment. But you see...those are okay because ole saw bones doles them out. lol.

CURRENT CONDITIONSThe state of the climate during 2011 began as strong La Niña. The La Niña waned over the course of the first few months of 2011, and conditions evolved to ENSO-neutral by the summer. The weather patterns across Micronesia during the first half of 2011 were generally those expected for La Niña; for example, very strong and persistent easterly surface winds and a westward displacement of tropical cyclone activity. In response to the strong easterly low-level wind anomalies, the sea level across Micronesia remained higher than normal during all of 2011. During the summer, while the climate system had evolved to ENSO-neutral, the monsoon advanced into parts of Micronesia. For several weeks, spread across July, August and September, Guam and the CNMI experienced light-to-moderate southwesterly wind accompanied by occasional heavy monsoonal rain showers and some impressive lightning displays in monsoon convection. Several tropical disturbances evolved into tropical depressions shortly after passing Guam and the CNMI, and contributed directly to heavy rain events in those islands and also in Yap State and in the Republic of Palau. In October of 2011, the climate system once again shifted back toward La Niña, ending the monsoon early and effectively halting late season (Oct, Nov, Dec) tropical cyclone activity in the basin and especially in the region. The year's final tropical cyclone, TC 27W (Washi), passed over Palau in mid-December as a tropical depression, and later passed over the central Philippines as a tropical storm, with deadly flooding there. No significant damage was reported from Palau. La Niña strengthened through November and December 2011, and a weak-to-moderate La Niña continues at the time of this writing. The start of the 2011-2012 rainy season in American Samoa was generally tranquil and a bit drier than average. Since the passage of Cyclone Wilma in January 2011, no tropical cyclones have affected American Samoa through January 2012. The State of Hawaii overall in 2011 received a sufficient amount of rain with some exceptions. There seemed to be a line drawn over Maui where to the east (Big Island) received below-normal rainfall, while to the west (Oahu, Kauai, Molokai, and Lanai) collected above-normal rainfall during the first 6 months of 2011. Specifically in the month of May an upper level low abided over top of most of the islands, which cause several thunderstorms. This tripled the normal amounts of rainfall in Lihue (on Kauai) and Honolulu (on Oahu) for the month. The rainfall continued into June, causing the Punaluu Stream rain gauge (on the windward side of Oahu) to report an amazing 8.53 inches in three hours with a total of 10.13 inches in 24 hours on the 5th. The normal rainfall amount for June on Oahu is only 0.18 inches. However, in September and October as the climate shifted back into La Niña status, all islands saw well below-normal rainfall and warmer-than normal temperatures. These conditions negatively impacted any strides made to eradicate drought on the islands (especially on the Big Island and Maui) at the beginning of the year. It should be noted that drought that has been present in some capacity since June 2008 in the State. More rainfall is needed to promote a full recovery from this drought. Although, persistent trade winds in November and December helped bring abundant amounts of rainfall for the eastern areas on most of the Hawaiian Islands, the leeward sides received very little rain. This led to the end of the year rainfall totals (depicted on page 9) of the Big Island and Maui near-normal rainfall totals, 90% and 83% respectively. Kauai and Oahu had well above-normal annual rainfall totals with 153% and 172% for the year of 2011 (see Figure 1). The following comments from the 05 January 2012 ENSO DIAGNOSTIC DISCUSSION were posted on the U.S. Climate Prediction Center web site: "ENSO Alert System Status: La Niña Advisory. Synopsis: La Niña is expected to continue well into the Northern spring 2012." "During December 2011, below-average sea surface temperatures (SST) associated with La Niña continued across the eastern and central equatorial Pacific Ocean. The weekly SST index in the Niño-3.4 region remained near –1.0°C throughout the month, indicating a weak to moderate La Niña. The oceanic heat content (average temperature in the upper 300m of the ocean) anomalies strengthened across the eastern Pacific, reflecting a large area of below-average temperatures in the subsurface. In the atmosphere, anomalous low-level easterly and upper-level westerly winds strengthened over the central and west-central Pacific. Convection remained suppressed in the western and central Pacific and enhanced over northern Australia and parts of Indonesia and the Philippine Islands. Consistent with these conditions, the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) also strengthened. This evolution is consistent with past events, in which the atmospheric components of La Niña become strongest and most well-defined during the Northern Hemisphere winter. Collectively, the ongoing oceanic and atmospheric patterns reflect the continuation of a weak to moderate La Niña." |

If you could instantly know how to play a musical instrument, which one would you pick?
I'll take any instrument, but since I have to choose one, I'd say the piano. I haven't managed to retain anything from years of piano lessons as a child. I think it was mostly my negative attitude, and I do regret that.
How long is your hair?
Right now, my hair is about shoulder-length. I usually like to keep it at least this long, usually longer. When I was young, my mother always cut our hair short and whenever I got the chance to make a wish (i.e. tossing a coin into a fountain), I would always wish for long hair.

United States Attorney Jenny A. Durkan
Western District of Washington
Nurse Stole Morphine, Diluted Vials with Water, and Replaced Them to Conceal Scheme
JOLENE LARSEN, 38, a Licenced Practical Nurse (LPN) at a Snohomish, Washington nursing home, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Seattle to a year in prison and 3 years of supervised release for tampering with consumer products. In her plea agreement dated November 11, 2010, LARSEN admitted that between November 2009, and May 2010, she removed morphine sulphate from prescription vials and replaced it with tap water. LARSEN then consumed the morphine. At sentencing, U.S. District Judge James L. Robart noted that LARSEN stole drugs from hospice patients with limited time left. The medications were to alleviate their pain, to make their final days as pain-free as possible. The judge said LARSEN had a duty to help these patients and instead her actions could have increased their pain.
According to the plea agreement, LARSEN had worked at Merry Haven Care Center in Snohomish, Washington, for 14 years. Merry Haven is a nursing home and provides nursing services for long-term residents, rehabilitation services for individuals recovering from illnesses or surgery, and hospice for end-of-life patients. LARSEN was a supervisor at the facility, overseeing a unit of patients and a group of nurses. LARSEN was one of a limited number of people with access to a secure lock box for narcotic medications. One of her other responsibilities was the disposal of certain medications after patients no longer needed them. LARSEN was to fill out paperwork recording that medications had been properly destroyed.
On multiple occasions, LARSEN removed morphine sulfate from vials prescribed for patients and replaced the morphine with tap water. The morphine is removed from the vial with a syringe, but is taken orally. In at least one instance, the diluted morphine was administered to a patient. The patient's pain was not treated until additional pain medication was provided. In another instance, an alert nurse noticed that the color of the morphine sulphate was lighter than it should be, so she used a different vial for the patient. Additionally, LARSEN admitted she took morphine from the medications that were to be destroyed and consumed it.
In their request for a prison sentence, prosecutors detailed the risks LARSEN's actions posed to vulnerable patients. " First and foremost, patients who receive diluted liquid morphine sulfate will continue to experience pain. Secondly, if a doctor, unaware that the previously administered morphine was diluted, were then to increase the patient's dosage, the patient could then be administered too large a dosage of undiluted morphine. The patient could then suffer a lower level of consciousness, or, in severe cases, stop breathing," prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memo.
The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Food and Drug Administration Office of Criminal Investigations (FDA-OCI), and the Snohomish Police Department.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Karyn Johnson.

Vets' prescription charges are back under the spotlight
Free prescriptions are now a thing of the past, following the reintroduction of charges. Jack Davies reports on how the industry has changed and what the future holds.
Farmers were warned last November that unless they made use of free prescriptions for animal medicines, they could be lost following a Competition Commission review.
From November 1, vets will once again be able to charge for prescriptions, ending a three-year moratorium that hoped to revolutionise the profession.
Under the scheme, farmers could ask for free prescriptions from their vet before ordering medicines online or from a supplier of their choice.
"Farm animal practice has changed a lot since the regulations came in," says Rob Drysdale of Westpoint Farmvets in West Sussex, which also runs the internet store farmacy.co.uk.
"When the Government went back to consultation on the issue, we wanted free prescriptions to carry on. I am not against charging for prescriptions – a vet ought to charge for their time and they ought to be paid for what they are doing.
"But a lot of people are unaware these have now finished and a lot of farmers were just coming round to the idea of using them."
Most vets have welcomed the decision to remove free prescriptions, claiming they should be paid like any other profession for the services they provide.
Society of Practising Veterinary Surgeons (SPVS) president Richard Hillman says: "Free prescriptions were in place for three years to regulate the market and give the internet guys a chance to get their act together and get themselves established – they have now done that, so reintroducing charges is the right way to go.
"I would hope all veterinary practices will charge for prescriptions. People should be able to charge for the work they do, and there is work involved in preparing and checking a prescription.
"It is a legal document and we take the responsibility of that very seriously. As a result we should get recompense."
While some have set charges in excess of £30, others have decided to stick to the status quo and maintain the free service.
Mr Hillman says: "We have canvassed our members to find out how much time is involved in writing and checking a prescription.
"Practices know what they charge for their time for small animal consultation fees, for example, and they can use that to determine the price of the prescription depending on the time it is taking them to write and check the prescription."
Some practices, however, have set a standard charge as well as a supplementary charge for each additional item on the prescription.
"The industry is in a hole on this at the moment," says Jim Brodie, owner of Portland veterinary practice and internet pharmacy vet2go.co.uk.
"I can understand practices getting uptight about not having to charge for prescriptions.
"They have tried to get round it with extra charges such as medicine decision fees and hopefully they will go away now they are charging for prescriptions.
"We are waiting to see how this will pan out, but we have decided not to increase our own charges."
'Unfair' charges
Graham Mason, who runs farmacy.co.uk, says: "We are seeing an average charge of around £25 per prescription and in some cases we have seen vets charging an extra £12 an item.
"That is not fair at all – a prescription of five items would then cost more than £70 – it takes 10-15 minutes to fill out a prescription so that's an incredible fee."
Both the BVA and SPVS have urged members to be cautious, aware that excessive charges will not only cause concern among farmers, but could result in another investigation into pricing.
"It is up to individual practices to decide if they charge on a per item basis or not – it is going to drive up the price but that is the right thing to do," says Mr Hillman.
"In effect, practices have been taking a hit on profitability or cross-subsidising the price of free prescriptions over the last three years.
"I really think for people on the farm animal side, the prescription charge as a total cost of the medicines is going to be relatively small.
"On small animals it might be quite different, but when you are ordering medicines for 100 dairy cows, for example, it won't be that much. Veterinary practices are under enormous pressure, as is any other business at the moment, and we have to cover our costs."
But Mr Mason says he previously worked for an animal health company and struggled with the number of complaints from farmers about the cost of medicines.
"They weren't complaining about the manufacturers' costs, but the costs vets put on it," he says. "So vets shouldn't get silly with over-charging because we don't want to lose trust.
"Unfortunately, the way the profession has charged in the past means they have lost a lot of trust and that's why a lot of farmers want more and more medicines to go through the trade route.
"We don't want those calls to get louder because vets are setting charges too high."
Internet pharmacies believe there will still be a viable market online following the reintroduction of prescription charges.
These services have seen continued growth over the last three years by offering cheaper medicines and acting as a reference point for prices.
"They could look at our price, and then approach their vet and ask them to match it or write out a free prescription," says Mr Brodie. "Obviously now they will have to pay for that prescription.
"In fact it has done some good for other practices because it has encouraged farmers to discuss price with their vet.
"At the end of the day, if the farmer's vet can't match it, then it is up to them whether they go online or pay the higher price."
While the service has grown, some farmers are afraid of affecting the relationship with their vet.
"When we set up the website the idea was to get cost-effective medicines to farmers," says Mr Mason.
"When free prescriptions were introduced, we thought it was unfair for the vets to get nothing for the time of writing out a prescription."
"So we passed back five per cent of our gross margin to the vets who prescribed the drug.
"Now vets can charge for prescriptions again, we will give that five per cent back to the farmer who had to pay that charge."
While the new rules will provide a considerable challenge to the online pharmacies, Mr Mason believes prescription charges could, in fact, persuade more farmers to turn to the internet.
He says: "I think farmers in some situations were uneasy about asking for a free prescription because they had a good working relationship with their vet and they didn't want them to lose out financially.
"Now they can see that the vet is getting paid for writing the prescription, they are much happier shopping around for their medicines, be it going online or to another pharmacy, so there is a positive spin on this and an opportunity for us to grow."
For many vets, prescription charges are nothing more than recompense for the service they provide to clients and the wider farming industry.
"Farmers need to look at the total package they get from their vet practice," says Mr Hillman. "Having good veterinary care is part of the quality value-added produce that farmers in this country produce.
"Standards of veterinary care in this country are phenomenal and that feeds into the food chain into the quality food consumers have and the disease status of the nation's livestock industry.
"But we have got to be paid for that and I would have thought that a prescription charge was a relatively small price to pay for what vets in this country offer."
Competition Commission investigation
Free prescriptions were introduced in 2005 after the Competition Commission found evidence of a complex monopoly on the sale of prescription-only medicines (POMs).The subsequent legislation gave farmers the chance to ask their vet to provide the prescription free of charge, and then purchase the medicines at a pharmacy of their choice.
The rules were put in place for three years and following a review, the Competition Commission and the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) – formerly the DTI – have reintroduced charging.
Vets can now charge farmers for prescribing medicines, but there is no guidance, leaving vet practices to set their own fees.
