ABSTRACT: Impaired ventilation on cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is seen in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, evaluation of the differences of abnormal gas exchange in COPD according to GOLD severity criteria is limited. A retrospective review was performed on all COPD patients referred for CPET at our center between 1998 and 2010. There were 548 patients compared according to GOLD severity. GOLD groups were significantly different from each other in regards to pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide ( [Formula: see text] ) with progressively higher [Formula: see text] with increasing GOLD severity. Ratio of minute ventilation to carbon dioxide production ( [Formula: see text] ) and exercise capacity as measured by and [Formula: see text] % and work rate in watts% was inversely proportional to GOLD severity. Breathing reserve, minute ventilation, and tidal volume at peak exercise were significantly decreased with increasing disease severity between GOLD groups. We concluded that gas exchange is distinctive among different GOLD severity groups; specifically, GOLD 3 and 4 have a significantly higher [Formula: see text] and a significantly lower [Formula: see text] than GOLD 2.Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology 01/2013; · 1.97 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although β blockade (BB) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) does not show signs of worsening pulmonary function or respiratory symptoms, the effects on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) remain unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether BB affects exercise capacity, gas exchange, and hemodynamic responses in patients with COPD. Twenty-four COPD subjects on BB were matched to 24 COPD subjects without BB according to age, gender, body mass index, and severity of COPD. All subjects underwent resting pulmonary function and symptom-limited CPET. Comparing COPD patients with and without BB revealed that percent peak oxygen consumption and VE/VCO2 nadir were not significantly different (45 ± 16 vs. 51 ± 23 %, p = 0.30, and 35.1 ± 8.5 vs. 36.2 ± 11.6 %, p = 0.69). Systolic blood pressure and heart rate at peak exercise were significantly decreased in COPD patients with BB (168 ± 16 vs. 185 ± 20 mmHg, and 109 ± 16 vs. 122 ± 14 bpm, respectively, p < 0.05). Exercise capacity and gas exchange remain unaffected in patients with COPD in the presence of BB, although heart rate and blood pressure are lower. These findings imply that BB does not adversely affect functional capacity in patients with COPD.Beiträge zur Klinik der Tuberkulose 07/2013; · 2.17 Impact Factor -
Article: ASTHMA AND EXERCISE IN THE ELDERLY
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Participation in regular physical activity, with the goal of enhancing functional ability and fitness, is associated with measurable health-enhancing and psychologic benefits. Various types of exercise are now actively prescribed by the medical community for the prevention and treatment of a number of diseases.66 Obstructive pulmonary disease, including both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, is a significant cause of functional disability in older adults that is often characterized clinically by progressive breathlessness and increasing physical limitations. Whether exercise training improves aerobic capacity in elderly COPD patients and, in some cases, those with reactive airway disease, still remains unclear.100 Earlier studies failed to demonstrate this effect, but more recent investigations 40 and 51 using higher levels of intensity or longer duration of training appear to improve functional capacity in older patients with moderate obstructive lung disease (Table 1). In this article we examine how asthma, or reactive airflow obstruction, alters physical capacity and human performance in the elderly, and the role of exercise training in the management of reactive airways disease among older patients.Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America 11/1997; 17(4):607-626. · 2.22 Impact Factor

Additional Location Information
Anemon Villas are located in the district of Kissamos on the west part of Crete and the area is probably the most famous part of the Chania Prefecture. The beaches of Falassarna and Elafonisi, the lagoon of Balos and the peninsula of Gramvousa with the homonymous island are only some of the treasures of the area.
Kissamos is not just a part of Crete, is an entire destination with secrets and surprises, ready to be explored!
Staying at Anemon villas, you are only 4 km away of the capital of the district. Kissamos (Kastelli) is a modern seaside town, offering everything visitors might need but its beauty lays in the fact that although it has embraced tourism, has not been spoilt by it. The town is standing on the site of ancient Kissamos, a flourishing, independent city with its own coinage and extensive trading links, which was the harbor of ancient Polirinia. Kissamos was also known as Kastelli and got its name from the Venetian Fort that used to surround the town. Today, the ruins of the fort, still stand in some places as reminders of its great past.
An afternoon walk in the picturesque fishing port of the town is offering a beautiful view of the bay of Kissamos and little further, on the larger commercial port, daily pleasure cruises are available to the stunning island of Gramvousa and Balos lagoon.
Anemon villas are located in Nopigia, a tiny seaside village. The location is perfect, as the most famous beaches of the island are less than 20 minutes drive away but also the beach of the village, only minutes walk away is ideal for relaxing. There is not much to say about the beaches in Kissamos. They speak for themselves, as they are some of the most famous in the world. The beaches of Falassarna, the lagoon of Balos and the island Gramvousa lie just a few kilometers away from the villas and if you care to drive for about 1 hour you can get to places like Elafonisi and Kedrodasos. However, in the west and north coastlines of the area, hundreds of small, less known beaches, are ready to be explored and the beach of Nopigeia is just 400 m away.
During your visit you will have the chance to notice that the countless beaches are not the only beauty of Kissamos. The combination of the green hills with the wild landscape constitutes one of the reasons that this part of the island is so famous. The north part of Kissamos, where Anemon Villas are placed, is full of olive groves and vineyards and you can arrange a tour guide to some of the local wineries as Pneumatikakis Winery (in a walking distance from the villas) or even visit an organic olive grove (10-15 min away from Anemon Villas) and learn about oil production.
Finally, the area of Kissamos has a long and rich history, which lives in the ruins of the ancient cities. Ancient Falasarna and Polirinia are reminding us the greatness of Kissamos in antiquity. The ruins of Polirinia found in today's village Polirinia, just few kilometers away from Anemon Villas and they testify the fact that Polirinia was the most important city of western Crete after Cydonia.

Over a year ago C. Boyden Gray established the Committee for Justice "to offset the influence of People For the American Way" (Washington Post, July 23, 2002) and to lobby on behalf of President George W. Bush's judicial nominations. A year later, after having witnessed several of Mr. Gray's antics, watched his two televisions ads attacking People For the American Way and seen media coverage of the Committee for Justice's fundraisers sponsored by members of the Bush family and allied corporate interests, two conclusions can be drawn...
Mr. Gray and the Committee for Justice have repeatedly stated that the filibusters of Miguel Estrada and Priscilla Owen are unprecedented and unconstitutional. These assertions are patently wrong. In fact, Boyden Gray himself, on John McLaughlin's One on One program in 2001, stated "it was appropriate" for senators to mount a filibuster against an appellate judicial nominee, and that senators were "entitled to do it under the rules of the Senate."
At the blockbuster end of the Supreme Court's 2002-2003 Term, several close decisions helped distinguish the term as a monumental one for civil rights and civil liberties. According to a new analysis by People For the American Way Foundation of the Court's key decisions in these areas, several rulings demonstrated how the Court's divisions could spell disaster for these and other individual rights and protections if another right-wing justice or two joins the Court's ranks.
The Supreme Court's 2002-2003 Term underlined the importance of future nominations to the Court. The justices remain narrowly divided on a number of key issues concerning civil and constitutional rights, and came within one or two votes of adopting extreme positions advanced by Justices Thomas and Scalia in several important cases.

Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact
The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact's wealth of power, its skinny, waterproof body and decent screen make it a good option to consider if you're after a portable tablet. Although its screen resolution doesn't put it over its competitors, its ability to play games from your PS4 -- although not perfect yet -- gives it a unique selling point.
Amazon Fire HDX 8.9 ( 32GB, Wi-Fi/4G, Verizon)
Impressive Amazon features and an outstanding display make the the Fire HDX 8.9 one of the best and most affordable media consumption tablets.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S ( 8.4-inch, 32gb, bronze)
With its slim design, fantastic screen, and oodles of power, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is a superb smaller tablet, and a worthy competitor to the ever-popular iPad Mini.
Sony Xperia Tablet Z2 ( 32GB, black)
While the battery is a concern, the Xperia Z2 Tablet is still a good-looking slate that's loaded with more than enough power for anything you're likely to throw at it. It's a good choice if you're looking for a more affordable iPad alternative with 4G LTE -- particularly if you've ever lost a gadget through water damage.
Samsung Galaxy Note Pro ( 32GB, Wi-Fi, black)
Not quite a workstation replacement, the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro is an expensive behemoth of a tablet with a vast amount of features that will benefit only the most serious of tablet users.
Asus Transformer Pad TF701T
Despite its bulky design, the Asus Transformer Pad TF701T is one of the best 10-inch Android tablet values available, but it's worth your time to also look closely at its competition.
Dell Venue 8 Pro
The Dell Venue 8 Pro comes close to being a great pocket-size mini-PC, but a misplaced button and missing accessories feel like unnecessary errors.
Nokia Lumia 2520 ( black)
Unless you want a Windows RT tablet with cellular connection, skip the Lumia 2520 and get the Surface 2 instead.
Apple iPad Mini 2 ( silver, 16GB, Sprint)
The new iPad Mini somehow shrinks down the iPad Air into an even more compact package, sacrificing nearly nothing. It's more expensive than before, but it's also the perfect smaller tablet.
Microsoft Surface 2
The Microsoft Surface 2 is great for getting work done, but those looking for extensive app support (beyond Office) will find top Apple, Android, and Amazon tablets to be better options.

#626762 Need To Find A Dentist
Posted by ravenwoodglass on 26 July 2010 - 03:34 PM
If you are fearful of dentists there are also sedation dentists who if you need a lot of work can give you oral sedation. Mine now can't legally do that but he was fine with my getting something from my doctor to self sedate when I had to have 5 teeth pulled in one sitting. Going into the dentist after years of not going was one of the best things I ever did for myself. Sometimes we don't realize how much pain we are in until its gone. Good for you for getting yourself in there. Just ask questions first and you will be fine. Dentists see lots of folks that haven't been in years, they won't chastise you for it.

#626423 Reaction To Wheat Protein In My Hairspray?
Posted by ravenwoodglass on 25 July 2010 - 06:36 AM
I may have spoke too soon. I just heard that vitamin E may be wheat derived. Is that true?
Yes it is, it can also be soy derived which is also an issue for me. If the tocepheral is D-tocepheral it is not derived from either soy or wheat. That's what I look for in supplements and topicals.
Garneir makes some good safe products, I use them for skin and hair care but do read the labels.
Suave and Dove supposedly are good at labeling for gluten ingredients also. If you like organics you might want to look into Giovanni, I haven't used them in a while so can't say for sure they are okay. Shikai is another brand I often use.

#626420 I Need Some Help With This One Y'all
Posted by ravenwoodglass on 25 July 2010 - 06:29 AM
I take alprazolam and when I first started this fight back into the world my doctor told me to take half a one with me (in the script bottle of course) and when the attack would start to put it under my tongue. It would then go very quickly into the bloodstream and directly to the brain. Please ask your doctor if the valium would work the same way before you try it and be aware it will taste awful.
Also have you made sure the valium your taking is gluten free? Here one dentist kept giving me the generic form, or tryed to anyway, and it wasn't gluten-free. Only the name brand was but it was very expensive. That's why my shrink uses the alprazolam for me, in that case the name brand, Xanax is not gluten free but the generic is. If you have gluten issues the Valium may help with the symptoms when you take it but if it is a form that is not gluten free it will keep the process going.

#626230 Label Says Wheat But No Reaction?
Posted by ravenwoodglass on 24 July 2010 - 03:22 AM
I am a firm believer that Celiac can go into remission and then appear when you let you guard down. So please choose carefully.
This is found in some young people and doctors call it the 'Honeymoon Effect' and it is why they used to think kids would outgrow celiac. However, and the however is a biggie, they now know that celiac can not be 'outgrown'. The symptoms may lessen but damage is still being done. GI symptoms may seem to resolve but the autoimmune attack will continue sometimes working on different organs like the brain and liver. IMHO playing with not being gluten free after a firm diagnosis is playing with fire. Eventually you will get burned and when you do it may be in a way you can't go back from, like lymphoma.

#626224 Wait, What? Can A Doctor Suggest Celiac Base On This?
Posted by ravenwoodglass on 24 July 2010 - 02:54 AM
The three tests you have posted are within the reference ranges. That means the results are normal. Where is the elevated tTG IgG that your doctor is referring to? That would be a sign of autoimmunity.
That was posted in this thread

#626034 Wait, What? Can A Doctor Suggest Celiac Base On This?
Posted by ravenwoodglass on 23 July 2010 - 11:03 AM
Immuoglobulin A 381 (81-463)*** Reposting due to error in first posting - I didn't understand results***
Hi, I went gluten free five years ago after two decades of gastro issues, chronic infections, etc. I had a biospy done after going gluten-free and the results were negative. I've also had enterolab run my genes and those showed gluten sensitivity genes but not Celiac, so I've adhered to my gluten-free diet knowing I can't eat it whether or not I have Celiac Disease.
My doctor doesn't usually push tests on me but the other day he said he wanted to run a Celiac Panel. This is after five years of gluten-free (although I know it sneaks it's way it here and there by accident only). Anways, I argued that it was a waste of time but he pushed for them anyways. Yesterday he emailed me with this:
"The results do suggest Celiac. The TTG IGA would be elevated if you eating foods that stimulate the immune system, but would be negative with a gluten free diet. The tTG IgG indicates that your body has been stimulated in the past. So, since you are on a gluten free diet, we expect the IgA to be negative."
Here are the actual results:
TTG Antibody, IGA <3 (Reference range negative <5)
Endomysial Antibody (IGA) - negative
Immuoglobulin A 381 (81-463)
Can he really diagnose based on my Immuoglobulin A results? Can't they be elevated for other reasons? I'm so confused because the results are still in range. Any explanation could really help.
To reiterate I will continue a gluten-free diet, I don't care whether I actually have Celiac. However, I would like to understand this test better.
This is your total IGA. That is in normal ranges which means if your original tests at diagnosis showed an elevated IGA in the celiac tests then yes that would be diagnostic. That the numbers have gone down to normal levels would show that you are doing well on the diet.

It sounds like your best option is to just continue the diet at least until you are out of school and able to find work and live in an area where you can find a new and more knowledgable doctor.
I wish I could give you some more helpful advice but to be tested you need to redamage your body, not an option that is a good one when you are actively pursuing a degree.
Do you have Thai Kitchen noodles available there? With those and some gluten free broth and some veggies at least you would have a healthy alternative to the Ramen noodles.
Ask some questions here about how us folks with limited funds manage food wise. You should find lots of replies with good and workable ideas for you.

#624053 Am I Gluten Or Diary Intolerant?
Posted by ravenwoodglass on 14 July 2010 - 01:38 PM
That said you don't need a doctors permission to be gluten free and it may well help your problems disappear. If you want to do a trial of the diet you have to be strict. It would be a good idea to read as much as you can here and when you go gluten free you should also give up dairy for at least a couple months. After you have been feeling good for a while then you can challenge dairy starting with hard cheeses like cheddar and yogurt. It is also a good idea, as the other poster stated to go easy on soy at first. Start out with whole foods and leave the specialty gluten free stuff alone at first.

#622005 Post Diagnosis
Posted by ravenwoodglass on 06 July 2010 - 10:09 AM
Thank you! I've got the multi sorted out. I've been taking Nature's Plus Source of Life (iron free version) for the last 3 years. I'm not going out on a limb when I say this is the very best multi out there. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it. And gluten free! I haven't even had a cold in well over two years. Any recommendations on a good fish oil suppliment?
Just a quick note, do make sure that the one you take doesn't contain barley grass or wheat grass. Those are considered gluten free but many of us react to them. Especially if your new to the diet it is best to avoid those in juices or supplements.

Whether you are a professional roofer or a DIY enthusiast building a garden shed, here are a few simple steps to reduce call backs and ensure a quality roof that will last for years.
The roofing industry continues to see rooftops used as platforms for roof-mounted photovoltaic (PV) systems and this is especially true in residential construction
Managing attic moisture will pay off over the life of the home.
The analytics tell us that readers found these stories of green building achievement to be the most compelling for the year.
I'm seeing more and more staples used to fasten roof sheathing and it is causing problems. Not because staples don't work but because the wrong size staple is being used or the staple spacing in incorrect.
For OSHA, fall prevention is a major priority because of the over 40 deaths and many more injuries that occur annually. Public safety is also a concern when construction job sites border busy roads.
Green or vegetative roofs add a touch of nature to a building and reduce the environmental impact on the surrounding area.
Most homeowners buy attic fans in the summer. That's when they're most concerned about venting hot air before it can build up and overheat their homes. But here's a fact many people don't know: attic fans are just as important, if not more so, in the winter.
If you live north of that intangible line where the winter months change from chilly to extremely cold you know what ice buildup on roofs is all about. Ice dams are formed by a couple of common elements in cold climates: snow and heat loss.
For many homeowners, winter warming costs are the biggest utility expense. When a home is functioning optimally, you can drastically reduce your winter heating costs and mitigate the damaging effects of ice and snow.
The focus of the residential and commercial building industry once again turns toward Las Vegas for the 2015 International Builders Show.
Keep an eye out for gray taking the spotlight as the color of choice in 2015 as homeowners remodel and upgrade their homes.
With solar energy becoming more mainstream in many parts of the U.S., roofing contractors who add photovoltaic (PV) installation to their services can greatly expand in their markets.
New research findings conclude that certain metal roof systems can last at least 60 years, meaning they do not require replacement during a building's service life.
Many homeowners think ice dams are a fact of life in a cold climate, but that's not the case.
A metal roof in a classic style is part of a new green home project in Glastonbury, Connecticut.
For the look of traditional shingles with the durability of metal roofing, aluminum metal roofing is gaining in popularity among homeowners and builders.
For homes in hurricane-prone regions, roofing trim is often a weak spot. The Galvalock soffit/fascia panel withstood test winds up to 217 mph.
In hot months, attic ventilation is important for two reasons: 1) it keeps your attic cool by eliminating heat buildup and 2) it prolongs the life of your roof by preventing early failure of roof materials.

I hate them with a fucking passion. Here's the problem with the daily philosophy. Presuming I had the free time to do them as "extra" sorta content and not required (which is in and of itself total bullshit) I would rather log off and take a nap. Or nail my balls to a cross. Or drink paint. Or watch paint dry. I cannot list for you the amount of other crap I would rather do than dailies in world of warcraft. They've always been "something to do", dailies have been around since tbc and yet they haven't been something to do because NONE OF YOU DID THEM BEFORE AND YOU CONSTANTLY COMPLAINED ABOUT BEING BORED. You want the list of dailies available to you in cataclysm? ALl of them going back to the tbc ones? I'm sure like 90% of you haven't touched a daily.
I like the fact that you only need to do about 1-2 weeks of dailies to get valor pieces from most factions. The variety makes it so that you barely ever do the same quests more than 2x.

Out of the 8 years I've played the game... I have maybe 1k dailies complete =D
Hide yo' kids, hide yo' wife, 'cuz they bringin' dailies all up in here!
Mist of Dailies is the reason I finally quit. I'm not a huge fan of questing, and basically making an entire expansion that revolves around doing the same quests every single day is just...mind-numbingly stupid to me.
If they'd done it like, I dunno, the opening of the AQ gates, where your questing actually had an impact on the game world, THAT would have been cool. But as it stands, daily quests just support the whole 'army of one' mentality, and that doesn't appeal to me.
I like dailies well enough, but not enough to, you know, keep doing them after hitting exalted. Which is why I'm really looking forward to the new Isle of Thunder hub.
I don't mind them, and was doing everyday when I farmed rep, but after that I just don't have enough reason to continue. Lesser charms were cool for a time, but when you raid every week soon you won't need that extra chance for drop (it was actually so small chance that I didn't bother really fast).
I would be glad if they came up with yet another reason to do them tbh, I don't need gold, charms are ok for first few weeks of progression. I can't think of anything on top of my head, but I would like something.
Dailies are fine.
The number, however is not. What is it, 12-15 dailies for Golden Lotus each day? Way too much. And gating all of the valor gear behind them is not ok. Some is just fine. All, is not.
i don't hate doing them on my main but on my alts i don't want to do them it is already a pain in the ass to level currently that adding all the dailies piss me off.
How about we let the parenting of kids to... their parents? No, seriously, World of Warcraft is a videogame. Gaming it's supposed to be a fun activity (if you have that fun through challenges, social interactions, etc is completely up to you). Not some kind of "School of Hard Knocks about the Real World".
I don't exactly hate them, it's just that whenever I did them, I was constantly aware of the fact that I could be doing literally anything else, in-game or otherwise, and have a more exciting, fulfilling experience.
Okay, Skip Bayless. Tell us more about how you love dailies.
I never liked dailies until this expansion. I find the MoP dailies fun instead of just like work.
I enjoy them.
Perfect example of why "community" forums are poisonous to the health of a development team. These developers are wasting hundreds of hours trying to stem the tide of incessant bitchery that would never, ever abate so long as these entitled, unfortunate human beings don't get their way.
Kinda think they are ok.. I haven't lost any sleep over them, certainly haven't done them all.. I wish some of the chains were a bit shorter, They work as a vehicle to keep the story rolling in my opinion. You do them, get bored, do something else, get bored, do dailies again.. I think the people who hate dailies are the play every hour every day, MUST DO ALL CONTENT OR I AM NOT A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE people who think they will become magically better at the game because they have every single VP epic...
I don't hate them but I also don't like them. I stopped doing them completely soon as I got all my reps up.

If I get $1000, I release a 9500 word novella about cannibalism, kung fu, and poor choices on New Years' Eve to everyone, for free.
About this project
Several months ago, Ghostwoods Press released my novel, SWITCHFLIPPED, as an eBook. People like it -- here's a few lines from unsolicited reviews on Amazon.com.
"The first chapter is mysterious, sexy, and funny all at the same time"
"[I]t's to Stolze's credit that we feel some sympathy with virtually every character."
"Greg Stolze creates an interesting world that compels you to read more. I love the concept of the world and there is defiantly room for a great sequel to this book."
Despite disappointing sales*, I wasn't ready to be done with the setting, and one day I woke up with an idea for a short follow-up that just wouldn't let me go. So I wrote it, and now I'm offering it to you. If you all (collectively) give me $1000, I'll release that novella sequel for free, for everyone. (If you've supported my stories before, you know that they're available online. If you haven't, click that link and poke around at the stuff generous patrons before you have funded.)
This is clearly risky: As it stands, "7 and 7" is only going to appeal to people who bought a book that... well... hasn't sold brilliantly. So I'll level with you. I'm hoping this is a chance to remedy that. If you direct your attention to the sidebar, you'll see a list of fine premiums available for pledging at assorted levels, including... copies of SWITCHFLIPPED!
If you haven't bought it yet, this is the best deal you're going to see for some time.
If you're already a reader, I hope you're in the mood for more.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

I'll throw in some other stuff too. But if someone wants to take me up on this tier, I'll write a 2500 word short story JUST FOR YOU about any single character from SWITCHFLIPPED. Legally, it'll be a work-for-hire, so after I hand it off to you you can hoard it away privately, give it to all and sundry on the Internet, or even turn it into a movie without paying me a cent. Up to you, high roller.

Waring ® Belgian Waffle Maker is rated out of 5 by 38.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JG1983 from Crispy goodness! After trying multiple recipes with my old belgian waffle maker, I decided that maybe it wasn't the recipe or my cooking skills that needed altering. I purchased the Waring waffle maker and have made waffles every weekend since the purchase. Waffles are perfect every time, crisp on the outside while light and fluffy on the inside.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Stephanie from Waffle makers I purchased a belgian waffle maker prior to Christmas. The one that had was on it last legs after 20 plus years of work. The new one larger than the one shown is fantastic. My children worried that I would not be able to make our Christmas breakfast of Belgian waffles. I love my new one, it is faster and the waffles actually come out thicker the my previous one. I have used this almost weekly this winter and it has been wonderful. This waffle maker is a real asset to ones kitchen.

We use Aunt Jemima pancake/waffle mix from a box and you just add water and veggie oil. I heard from a friend that you can also put room temperature tater tots in it and make awesome hashbrowns.

Analysis: Tone
Take a story's temperature by studying its tone. Is it hopeful? Cynical? Snarky? Playful?
Middlemarch is, as we learn from the subtitle, a "Study of Provincial Life." Sounds scientific, doesn't it? And science calls for objectivity. It's important for the narrator to look at the characters and events she's describing as though they're samples under a microscope. Most of the time, she maintains a level of scientific detachment. Sometimes, though, she breaks out of that tone and becomes more sympathetic, like when she says, "For my part I am very sorry for him" (3.29.3). This sympathy for Casaubon is quite a switch from earlier, when the narrator describes the "strong [microscopic] lens applied to Mrs Cadwallader's matchmaking" (1.6.71).

Towering Mystery Fossil Was a 'Shroom With a View |
Anne Minard for National Geographic News |
April 25, 2007 |
At a time when the tallest trees stood just a few feet high, giant "mushrooms" towered over the landscape. That's the finding being reported by new a paper appearing in the May issue of the journal Geology. The study adds to the quest to solve a long-standing scientific puzzle: the true nature of a fossil that was the world's largest organism from about 420 million to 370 million years ago. (Related news: "Giant Fossil Rain Forest Discovered in Illinois" [April 24, 2007].) Called Prototaxites, the mystery life-form was first reported in 1859 based on samples found in Canada. The ancient organism boasted trunks up to 24 feet (8 meters) high and as wide as three feet (one meter). Prototaxites was widespread—its fossils are found all over the globe. Lead study author Kevin Boyce, of the University of Chicago, said the unidentified monstrosity was a staple in textbooks while he was still in school. "It's fun because it's kind of a classic specimen that people have worried about for a long time," Boyce said. "It's been an outstanding question for 150 years." Chemical Clues Since the fossil's discovery, researchers have speculated that Prototaxites was a type of algae or lichen or even a primitive pine tree. The idea that the fossil could have been a giant fungus first emerged in 1919. Francis Hueber, a co-author of the new study with the Smithsonian Institution, revived the fungus idea in 2001. Hueber was among the researchers who, as early as the 1970s, were studying chemical signatures called isotopes in the organism. In plants like today's trees and flowers, which get energy from the sun and carbon from the air, two particular carbon isotopes should be in balance. In plants and animals that eat other life-forms, the isotope ratio should vary widely. That fact turned out to be an important clue: The fossil's combination of isotopes revealed the funguslike habit of feeding on decaying organic matter. In addition, co-authors at the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C., found that Prototaxites fossils contain isotopes from primitive plants of the age as well as certain soil organisms. Occasional stalks probably sprouted from a vast underground network of hyphae—the fungal equivalent of roots—noted the University of Chicago's Boyce. The fungus probably grew slowly to attain such large sizes, he added. It was likely aided by a relatively slow turnover of plant types. In today's world, ecosystems can change quickly, with grasslands giving way to forests in the space of a few years. Size Matters Patricia Gensel is a professor of paleobotany at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who was not involved in the new study. She said the new paper proposes a workable solution to one of science's big hangups about Prototaxites being a fungus: Its reproductive parts seem too big by modern fungus standards. "If the 'logs' of Prototaxites represent a fruiting body [the fungal reproductive organ], it is huge—bigger than any modern individual fruiting body," she said. The other plants that coexisted with the massive fungus were at most 6.5 feet (2 meters) tall, meaning their remains wouldn't have provided enough nourishment to support fungi with large fruiting bodies. "It is felt by some that they alone do not provide a sufficient source of carbon for it," Gensel said. The study shows that the huge fungus had another source of food: soil microbes called crusts. "Sucking up carbon from microbial crusts would [make large fruiting bodies] possible." Free Email News Updates Sign up for our Inside National Geographic newsletter.

Ah! This one shows the films. It was unusual to put as much detail on the canopy as we did for Born On The Fourth Of July, but I remember we made a big deal of getting a special preview show of that film. That's actually a canopy I didn't do.
If I remember rightly, back in the 60's the lower part which is the cinema entrance in this picture, housed the Fiesta coffee bar which was the Mods meeting place. The Rockers met not far from here in Contie;s at the bottom of Gabriels hill.
Not much to tell really. They mostly rode lambretta's, the 200 GT's and SX's were the popular models and a few Vespa's which would be parked in the inshot on the left of this picture. They mainly wore ex US army parkas with fur trimmed hoods. The rockers would also park here and as I recall it was all amicable, I don't remember there being any trouble, like the fights that used to erupt in Margate on bank holidays.
