Conium Maculatum- The Essential FeaturesIndex1. Conium Maculatum- The Essential Features
CONIUM MACULATUMPoison Hemlock.N.O. Umbelliferae. Tincture of fresh plant in flower. THE ESSENTIAL FEATURESThe idea of paralysis in Conium is not so much the one we know from Socrates' death by the 'noggin of hemlock'; real paralysis comes only as an end result, and this may take a very long time, twenty years, thirty years, or more. Conium suffers with a gradually progressing weakness and paresis, and gradual is the key word here.The idea is much more that of sclerosis, of becoming hard, especially the glands, which become swollen and indurated. A gradually progressing weakness with the formation of indurations during the decline, is the picture of Conium pathology. Mental Paralysis and IndurationThis process develops on all three levels. On the mental level, we observe a gradual decline of the intellectual capacities.The patient becomes more and more dull; he has more and more difficulty in comprehension. Thinking is slowed down, memory becomes weak, and the patient becomes forgetful. His five senses lose their acuity, and his reserves slowly ebb away. A frequent and characteristic symptom is an inability to sustain mental effort over any length of time. All these symptoms can also be found in other remedies; but the characteristic here is the snail's pace of the progress. It happens so gradually that the patient is not aware of the process himself. After some years he may go back in his memory and say, 'What is happening to me?' But it takes him years to see the declining process. Nor is this decline observed by the people around him, especially those who are in contact with him every day. The process develops too slowly and undramatically. Even when he finally feels that something serious and deeply disturbing is going on, he will often say nothing to anybody, because no one else seems to have noticed anything. Finally a kind of stupefaction takes over, and now he feels that this state is definitely leading him into a serious condition of degeneration, of imbecility and premature senility. Conium produces as it were areas of sclerosis, of callus in the brain. It seems to be a remedy that is very set in its thinking, to the extent that it becomes superstitious. Conium is the main remedy in superstition or 'superstitious thoughts'. It is like an induration in a certain area of the brain. The patients tend to have compulsive thoughts and to execute compulsive actions, but only in a separate arena of their mental lives. The remainder of the brain is working beautifully, and they are otherwise normal people, performing their tasks, holding their jobs, and fulfilling all their social functions, but in this separate mental arena they have some fixed ideas which they cannot get rid of. Those superstitious obsessions may be more or less harmless in themselves. They might think, 'If I don't touch the corner when I go around it, something bad is going to happen to me'. Or, 'I mustn't step on the cracks between the slabs of the pavement, and if I do, I will suffer some misfortune'. These ideas may make life intolerable for the people around them. I remember a case in which the wife related that her husband would not take off his trousers to go to bed until everything was absolutely quiet outside. If he could hear a car, he was unable to take off his trousers. So he waited until he couldn't hear the car any more, and then he started pulling off his trousers. But soon the noise of another car came, and he couldn't continue taking off his trousers: he had to wait for absolute quiet. This man was a manager in a bank, he had a responsible position, and he was normal in every other way, but he could not be talked out of this obsession. Of course, there was more to it that. He admitted that his memory had begun to fail, and that his concentration was not the same as it had been. He could not read as much as he used to, because he was slower to comprehend. All of these functions came back after the remedy, Conium 10M in a single dose, and the compulsive action has disappeared. Conium's fixed ideas often (but not always) centre around needing absolute quiet, as in the case above, and problems with strangers. This is especially true regarding toilets. They often cannot urinate or pass stool if there are people near the bathroom. And they can get terrible constipation because of that, especially when they are travelling, because there are nearly always people around. It is beautiful to see how such behaviour is taken away by the correct remedy. Emotional Paralysis and IndurationOn the emotional level, we again witness this gradual paralysis with induration. The emotions are gradually weakened and paralyzed until it is impossible to bring them to the surface, to 'move' them. The final state is a condition of complete indifference and apathy, when they find no interest in anything. And when they have gone so far, they are no more able to show emotion when it is needed or appropriate to the surroundings.If they get a present, they cannot be happy, and they are also unable to cry when they would like to; their feelings may still be there but they are petrified and indurated, they cannot be moved. Then they become gloomy and unhappy; they do not want company and they feel unable to communicate with anybody. But this indifference doesn't develop quickly, and again it takes a long time until the pathology has gone this far. Before that state of indifference, there is a stage where patients are worried because they feel that something is happening with their mental condition. They are worried about their health, they wonder what is happening in their mind, how all this will end. They become anxious, and in this state they do not want to be alone. In Conium the aversion to company is not a very strong feature. How can we speak of induration presented on the emotional level? It manifests as a kind of insensitivity. Conium people are not sweet persons, they are hard, 'down to earth', materialistic and practical people. As the doctor you will see that they are demanding. They will be loyal to you as long as they feel you can help them and as you are not hurting them. But if there is a stage where, in their opinion, you are not helping them enough, they will immediately let you know, demanding their 'rights'. Conium people are materialists in a different fashion to Platina. They don't have the extreme egotism and haughtiness of Platina, they don't think that they are 'big'. Rather, Conium's attachment is to the material world around him, his property, his habits, his family. Conium says: 'This is mine. This table is mine. This is my house'. Once any of this is taken away from him, there is a definite morbid, pathological reaction, and this is often accompanied by an induration on the physical level, a tumour which is usually malignant. These symptoms after a 'material loss' can occur very suddenly, even immediately, at quite another speed compared to the slow and gradual paralysis of the remedy. If, for instance, the patient's house burns down and many valuable things are lost, he can develop symptoms very quickly, especially hard tumours, even cancer, and in such a case Conium will often be indicated. Suppression of SexualityThe biggest material loss for Conium is the deprivation of regular sexual activity. The moment they lose regular sex with their partner, problems start. The body may function well as long as there is a regular release on the sexual level, a release of the hormones at regular intervals with a specific partner.This is what they need to feel in balance, otherwise the balance is lost. Therefore you will often see Conium indicated in women who have lost or separated from their partner and do not have a new love affair. Female Conium patients depend on the regular sexual activity they are used to, and if the husband dies, the woman does not easily start a new affair. Because of this failure to release the hormones, problems will arise, which can go from vertigo, which is usually the first to appear, to trembling and weakness. It can go as far as developing severe problems, even cancer, and especially cancer of the breast or of the uterus. Cancer of cervix uteri is also often seen. The idea is that a hard tumour develops, mostly of the glands, but it can be anywhere. Conium is the main remedy for the gland that is affected greatly by sexual activity in man: the prostate. If a suppression of sexual urge in a Conium man is present, the first gland that is affected is the prostate, it can swell and even cause prostate cancer. Moreover, Conium is an important remedy in indurated and malignant swelling of the testes. Also we may see hypochondria in unmarried men with very strict principles of sexual morality: 'Hypochondriacal complaints, especially in unmarried people who are strictly abstinent in sexual matters'. Here the comparison with Platina is again very interesting. Conium people have a strong sexual urge, as do Platina, but the difference is that Conium are not oversexed, they are more on the practical side. They don't think of sex day and night, like Platina, rather they look upon sex as something they just need from time to time to release their hormones; they are people without illusions, matter of fact in their approach to sex. You have to understand the mentality: they feel that the good things which we can enjoy in life are given to us, it is our right to enjoy them. They do not tend to have bad feelings, feelings of guilt or doubt, neither do they tend to hypersexual behaviour. We can say, they know exactly what they want: sex and the release of orgasm is what they need to keep their organism functioning, that is the idea, and they take it as a fact or, as it were, their right. But if this outlet stops suddenly, once this 'right' is taken away from them, then there is a kind of dizziness, which they constantly complain about, they say that their head is never clear. They start trembling, shaking all over and a feeling of paralytic weakness eventually takes them over. The dizziness can become really severe, and Meniere's Syndrome may develop. Things seem to be turning around them. The worst situation is when they lie in bed and want to turn to the other side; this movement aggravates them terribly. (This should be differentiated from the similar symptom in Silicea, where the vertigo in bed only arises from turning to the left.) On sudden motion, for example on turning the head to look behind them, everything seems to turn around them. They complain about the head problem, it is nearly indescribable for them: they do not say vertigo, instead they use words like a buzzing inside the head, a noise, a dizziness, or similar terms. In a recent case from Argentina (quoted in Klassische Homoopathie 5/93), a 57-year-old man got 'vertigo, worse when turning around in bed, with a feeling as though the brain had gone to sleep'. This came on after his wife had (in his words), 'condemned him to celibacy'. In other cases, patients start to tremble and feel as if paralyzed all over; even mentally paralyzed, unable to perform any duties, with problems in concentrating; unable to stand mental effort for any length of time. Conium are also fixed on their sexual patterns, not at all flexible. They are not oversexed, and they do not tend to promiscuity or extramarital relationships. On the contrary, when they make a decision to keep with one partner, they will stay together until the partner dies. Typical symptoms will be: complaints of swollen glands, the head is not clear and there are headaches, even very severe headaches, or headaches together with vertigo. The patient starts trembling and feels weak. With this picture you might prescribe Gelsemium, Cocculus or Carbo vegetabilis. But once you have the information about the loss of a partner and the abrupt end to sexual activity, then there is only one remedy that will help and this is Conium. Of course, such a history also happens to other people who do not need a remedy, but where other organisms can manage this interruption and can balance themselves, it will be Conium who, almost invariably, will develop pathological symptoms. Further Mental SymptomsSome proving symptoms to show how the Conium pathology affects the intellect:'Dullness; difficulty in understanding what he is reading, with confusion of the head'. 'Dullness, like stupefaction; difficulty in understanding what he is reading'. 'Want of memory'. 'Forgetfulness and weakness in head'. 'Unable to correctly express oneself by talking, with difficulty of recollecting things'. 'Inability to sustain any mental effort'. There are often states of difficulty in concentration and absence of mind, even insensibility and confusion, especially after awaking from a midday nap. There are many emotional symptoms where anxiety, gloomy thoughts, fears and peevishness dominate. They correspond to the state where the patient begins to feel his decline (see above), but they can also appear in other situations. For instance: 'Deeply absorbed in thought, he meditates anxiously about present and future, searching for solitude'. 'Hysterical anxiety'. 'Ill humour and gloom'. 'Constant ill humour and peevishness'. 'Peevish mood; does not know what to do; time passes too slowly'. From a proving by Robinson: 'She feels peevish, vexed, and easily put out about trifles'. Where these symptoms dominate there may be a rather contradictory attitude toward human company, as is manifested in this proving symptom: 'Shuns people and their approach, and at the same time dread to be alone'. In the context of the menses, there are also states of sensitivity, tearfulness and restlessness. 'Before the menses, aching in all limbs, with tearful mood, restlessness and anxious worry about trifles'. Or: 'She is easily moved by trifles, moved to tears'. In the Chronic Diseases, we even find a veritable weeping fit which later transforms into vertigo and weakness: 'Paroxysm: alone at home, she feels an inclination to weep; after yielding to it, the weeping changes to a loud sobbing; afterwards flickering before the eyes and indistinct vision, so that she had to hold on to something when walking; afterwards weariness in all limbs and a dull headache'. A number of mental symptoms corresponds with the stage of indifference, apathy, emotional paralysis and petrefaction: 'Very ill-humoured, every afternoon, from 3 pm to 6 pm, as though a great guilt weighed upon him, with paralysed feeling in all the limbs, indifference, and taking no interest in anything'. 'Morose mood; everything about him makes an unpleasant impression upon him'. 'Disinclination for work'. 'No pleasant feelings whatsoever'. Conium has successfully been used in depressive states, and it is easy to see that the depressive element prevails in the remedy. There is on record a cured case of a woman who fell into a 'very unhappy mood' every 14 days. She had no desire to dress, to eat anything, to talk or to see her children. The periodic recurrence of this unhappy state may be a hint that Conium could also be indicated in cyclic manic-depressive states. And though the depressive symptoms preponderate, we still see proving symptoms like this: 'He is averse to being near people, and to the talk of those passing him; is inclined to seize hold of and abuse them'. A cured case, fragments of which are very often quoted in literature, shows that Conium can be useful when there is an alternation of marked manic and depressive stages: 'A 16-year-old boy... became mentally ill... It was peculiar that he was alternately in a depressed mood for 10 days and then again in an excited mood for 10 days. He is silent for 10 days, sad and worried, picks his fingers, lies in bed most of the time, does not like to answer questions, with more frequent urination during the night. Confused feeling in head, often sits as if he were in a dream. Eats and drinks but has a stool only every third day; weak memory. Timid, cannot be persuaded to any work. Sleep very restless. Then very excited for 10 days, vehement, domineering, quarrelsome, tends to scold. Likes to wear his best clothes, makes useless purchases and then cares very little for them, wastes or ruins them; does not want to work, prefers to play; picks quarrels, does not tolerate contradiction. Continuously picks his nose which bleeds easily'. Conditions of WeaknessAs mentioned above, the Conium weakness increases very gradually, year after year, finally amounting to complete paralysis, and this process may take many years. Conium is an important remedy in chronic recreational drug users; not for the acute consequences of high doses of cocaine, for instance, but for people who are more careful with drugs.They take small doses of drugs, they enjoy them little by little for many years, and very gradually they keep going into a state of loss of power on all levels, mental, emotional, and physical, so slowly that it is hard to perceive. After many years, the mind is totally paralysed, they cannot think any more, imagination is exhausted, all energy is lost. In chronic drug users who do not take large or strong doses of narcotics, Conium will be indicated if there is such a gradual loss of power. I include alcohol as a recreational drug here; Conium is in any case sensitive to alcohol and is easily affected by it. Hahnemann writes: 'The least quantity of spirituous drink intoxicates him'. Headaches are aggravated from alcohol, and the characteristic process of weakening and decline may be sped up by alcohol. But we have to know that underneath there is a predisposition; alcohol and drugs may catalyze and intensify the process, but they are not the deepest reason for the pathology. On the physical plane, the weakness of Conium especially manifests in the urinary and genital systems. In spite of the intensity of the sexual desire, the sexual powers are weak, and there is often impotence. Men tend to have ejaculatio praecox, and women may also get orgasms without even touching their partner. To quote Hahnemann's own delicate phrase: Emission even while frolicking with a woman'. I once treated a female patient who used to flirt with priests. She liked to make them excited, and she would have a complete orgasm while she was flirting with them, without ever touching them. This symptom made me think of Conium. You may wonder why I call this a state of weakness. But in fact this is how I understand it: the sexual organs are weakened, almost paralyzed, and they are unable to hold back the release of the orgasm. A little stimulation, then orgasm happens, and that is it. A keynote for Conium is interrupted urination. People in a Conium state will be urinating and the urination suddenly stops, in the middle of the flow. They wait a moment, and it starts again, stops again and so on, three, four or five times, before the urinary tract is empty. 'The discharge of urine suddenly stops during urination and only continues after a while'. Such a symptom may point to a weakness of the bladder in expelling the urine, but sometimes also to a stenosis of the urethra or to the swelling of the prostate. If the urethra is narrowed because of an enlargement of the prostate gland, Conium may be indicated as well. If the urethral stricture is caused by inflammation and cicatrization, you should also think of Thuja and Medorrhinum when other symptoms agree. An interesting modality: complaints of the extremities which respond to Conium are relieved by letting the affected limb hang down. This modality is indeed a strange, rare, and peculiar symptom that should call Conium to mind. As Kent puts it: 'Conium differs from a great many medicines. It is common for pains and aches to be relieved by putting the foot up on a chair; by putting them up in bed. But the patient with rheumatism, with ulceration and the other strange sufferings of the legs, will lie down and permits his legs to hang over the bed up as far as the knee'. An ulcer on the foot that is painful even when lying in bed, is ameliorated by hanging the legs down from the knee. We may comprehend this peculiar symptom by knowing the pathology of the remedy, especially from the case of Socrates, who observed that its actions started by paralyzing first the lower extremities. It is therefore possible that Conium restricts the blood flow in the lower extremities, causing problems thereafter. The Conium VertigoVertigo is one of the most prominent features of the remedy. It may occur on rising from bed or from a seat, or on walking, on going downstairs, when lying, etc. But the most characteristic modality is vertigo on turning in bed. Also on moving the eyes or the head, especially in sideways motion. In this kind of vertigo Conium is the main remedy together with Belladonna, especially when the vertigo occurs when turning around in bed. Clarke mentions a case of lumbago with the symptom 'cannot turn over in bed without being dizzy' that was cured with Conium.You may also compare Cocculus, because the Conium vertigo frequently has to do with an accommodation weakness of the eyes, as in Cocculus. Nash reports a case where a patient seemed to have all the symptoms of locomotor ataxia. The striking symptom was that he could not, when walking, turn the head or the eyes the least bit sideways without staggering or falling. When he went out with his wife, he always walked in front of her or behind her, but never by her side! This strange behaviour made Nash think of Conium.
Some more proving symptoms and cured symptoms relating to the Conium vertigo: GeneralitiesGlandular induration as a result of contusion. Conium has acted very well even in mammary cancer which developed after a blow against the breast, in cancer of the lip after long-time pressure by a tobacco pipe, etc.Lassitude and weakness, even amounting to fainting. A striking symptom is a tremulous weakness after every stool that ceases in the open air. 'Sudden relaxation (a kind of paralytic weakness) while walking' has also been cured by Conium. But usually the weakness will develop very slowly and deeply, as discussed above. 'So weak that she has to lie down; sick and weary in the morning in bed, with ill-humour, sleepiness and pains in the stomach'.
The paralytic states of Conium usually begin below and proceed upwards (as in Socrates' death); this direction of development may also manifest in other Conium symptoms. They are particularly sensitive to complaints from walking in the open air where exertion and cold may combine: 'Great liability to catch a cold, even in a room, after a walk in the open air, during which he had perspired'. 'Walking in the open air makes her weary, and the air affects her'. Extreme exhaustion, sudden relaxation, ill humour and other complaints appear after walking in the open air. Warmth will usually ameliorate, particularly warmth of the sun. 'Chilly with trembling in all limbs, and therefore she has to remain constantly in the warmth of the sun'. Bright light, however, will often disturb the patient very much, and excessive photophobia is a striking symptom of Conium.
Two strange symptoms that can be understood as keynotes: Head
'Violent headache with vertigo, from which she suffered for three or four days; she was sad and silent, just sitting there the whole time'. Sick headaches with vertigo and an inability to urinate. There are also headaches with unsatisfactory and too small stools. Eyes
The most important symptom is a weakness of the eye muscles, and particularly of the accommodation of the eyes, sometimes amounting to paralysis. The remedy may be indicated in presbyopia, as Hahnemann already presumed in the Materia Medica Pura. 'Far-sightedness; could distinctly see rather distant objects'. Ears
In Meniere's disease it is the first remedy to be thought of. Nose
Tendency to bore or pick in the nose, which bleeds easily. Face Eruptions in face, itching; pustular or vesicular; gnawing ulcers in face. Blisters at the upper lip, at the margin of the red portion, painful. Indurated tumours on cheeks and especially on lips, also as a consequence of pressure or contusion (tobacco pipe). Malignant tumours of the lips. Hardening and enlargement of the submandibular glands. Tearing stinging face-ache, directly before the ear; or a drawing pain from the jaw to the ear, or else painful tension near the ear. Facial pains that mostly occur at night. Mouth
Drawing toothache, extending through the temples, aggravated by eating cold things, but not by cold drinking. Throat
Bitter taste in throat. Respiration, Chest and Cough
Irritation to cough in the larynx, especially in this form: dry spot in the larynx, where there is a crawling, and almost constant irritation to dry cough. There may also be itching, tingling or scraping in throat, provoking dry cough. Heart Palpitation of the heart after stool, with intermission of heart beats. Violent palpitation: after drinking , when rising from bed. Stomach
With many Conium complaints, there is loss of appetite. But Conium has marked desires: for salt and salty food; for sour food; for coffee. Milk does not agree. Bread tastes bad and 'does not go down'. Abdomen
Distension of abdomen, the belly is often hard and tense, with flatulence. 'Hardness and severe bloating of abdomen, in the evening after eating, the umbilicus protrudes which makes her sleep restless'. Swelling of the mesenteric lymph nodes. Rectum and Stool
Conium has some very characteristic and unusual symptoms in this region. The symptom 'Discharge of cold flatus' seems to be unique in the materia medica. Clarke reports that in a case of severe diarrhoea where the stools felt cold Conium was successfully given. Urinary Organs
The best-known symptom in this region has been quoted above: Male Genitalia
The ill effects of sudden loss of a sexual partner in both sexes are discussed extensively above. Female Genitalia
In this region, Conium has particularly caused and cured indurations and hard tumours with stinging, shooting pains. It has been frequently used in mammary and uterine cancer, and in induration and enlargement of the ovaries as well. Some proving symptoms: 'Hardness of the right breast, with painfulness to touch and nightly stitches with it'. 'Stitches, as with needles, in the left mammary gland'. Conium proved especially useful, in hard tumours after a blow or beating against the mamma. Neck and Back
Conium is an important remedy in indurated swelling of cervical lymph nodes. Extremities
Weakness, powerlessness, prostration, lame feelings and paralysis of the extremities are symptoms of Conium. Sleep
Insomnia and late falling asleep, only after midnight. Fever
Great internal and external heat, with great nervousness. Burning heat through the whole body. Sensation of internal and external heat after sleep. A fever symptom from the Chronic Diseases; 'Sensation of heat in whole body, also increased warmth of skin which can be felt externally, with dry and sticky lips, without thirst, even with aversion to drinks, and with an insipid saliva in the mouth; noise and shining objects affect him, as well as any motion; he wants to sit lonesome with closed eyes'. Chilliness, shivering and coldness, especially early in the morning and in the afternoon; at 5 am; from 3 to 5 pm. Skin
Itching of the skin, especially of the backs of the fingers. 'Itching stitches, as from fleas, one directly after the other, here and there on the body, but always single stitches, never two at the same time'. An example by Hartlaub: 'Sudden herpetic eruption on forearm, beginning as a small spot and gradually spreading over arm; skin became porous, very red and raw, with furrows and depressions. Sore, broken places formed here and there in the skin, viscid lymph or blood oozing from them, lymph drying and forming white crusts under which the exudation still continues; intense itching in affected parts, with irresistible desire to scratch, particularly in evening; surrounding lymphatics swollen and involved...'

The Chicago Cubs' no longer, Scott Fledman now belongs to Baltimore as the first significant acquisition of the dealing season. Feldman started 15 games this season in his first year with the Cubs and amassed a 7-6 record with a 3.46 earned-run average. The Orioles hope he can help fix their pitching woes.
With Major League Baseball's trade deadline less than a month away, the Baltimore Orioles made the dealing season's first significant acquisition Tuesday when they acquired pitcher Scott Feldman from the Chicago Cubs. The deal sent pitchers Pedro Strop and Jake Arrieta to the Cubs in exchange for Feldman and catcher Steve Clevenger. Chicago also received Baltimore's international signing bonus slots Nos. 3 and 4, which will help the struggling franchise pick up foreign talent. Feldman started 15 games this season in his first year with the Cubs and amassed a 7-6 record with a 3.46 earned-run average. Before his time in the Chicago, Feldman spent eight years with the Texas Rangers and won 17 games in 2009, good for fourth in the American League. The righty was scheduled to pitch on Tuesday night in Oakland. The Orioles are 2½ games back of Boston in the American League East and in line for a wild card berth but have the second-worst team ERA in the baseball (4.43). They recently designated starting pitcher Freddy Garcia for assignment and called up Kevin Gausman, who started games earlier in the year and has since been used as a long reliever. Feldman, 30, will make $6 million in 2013 and be eligible for free agency after the season. "Our intent was to stabilize our rotation ... and we think this deal will do that," general manager Dan Duquette told the Baltimore Sun. "We had to weigh it against other factors." Strop had a letdown season in Baltimore after a breakout performance in 2012. The reliever's 7.25 ERA was worst on the Orioles of any pitcher with over 10 appearances. Arrieta had a 7.23 ERA in five starts for Baltimore, his last a 4 2/3-inning debacle in which he surrendered five runs and 10 hits to the Tigers. Clevenger, who went to high school in Baltimore, appeared in just eight games for the Cubs this year and recorded just one hit despite putting up gaudy numbers in Triple-A ball. Feldman was a valuable member of Texas Rangers playoff teams in 2010 and 2011, and his near-flawless performance in three outings of the 2011 AL Championship Series was a key to the Rangers' six-game triumph over the Detroit Tigers. Arrieta, 27, emerged as a top prospect soon after the Orioles drafted him in the fifth round in 2007. But he struggled to maintain a spot in their rotation and instead will try to regain his prospect status with the rebuilding Cubs. "Sometimes a change is (needed)," Duquette told the Sun. "This will be a fresh start for Jake, and I wish him a lot of luck." © 2013 USA TODAY. All rights reserved.

Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under Things to see, Linda Medley | 17 Sep 2013 2:32 PM |
Great news for Linda Medley fans: after taking a break, she's back to the drawing board sketching out storyboards for Castle Waiting Volume 3! Publishing details are still to be determined so we don't know quite yet in what format it will be available to readers, but we sure are excited! In the meantime, to limber up, she's dug up an unfinished project from 2003 to work on: a spin-off of Castle Waiting aimed at younger readers called "Twelve Witches," which you can see as a work in progress on our Tumblr blog. Hopefully we'll be seeing more of that in the near future!

Recent Stoneham Reviews
The way life shoud be
To say that we enjoyed our week in Stoneham would be an understatement. We were greeted by a card welcoming us and a bag of dog treats for our boys, which we so appreciated. The house was fresh and clean and well stocked with eveything we could ever want or need. We enjoyed hours at the lake soaking up the sun and swiming out to the swim float. Our evenings were spent by the fire pit, playing games, or trying different brews at Ebenezers pub. The location of the house is fantastic...the best of every thing. Privacy and seclusion, but close enough to shops, restaurants, and day trips. We even road to the top of Mt Washington one day. You can't do better than this rental for your vacation!
Mad Moose
This place was FANTASTIC. It had everything that you could ask for. The place was great, the yard was enormus, and the scenery was breathtaking. I would recommend it to everybody who asked me about it. I am renting it again next year, and in the future. For the money, you couldn't ask for more.

Kershaw looks to turn tide against Padres
LA lefty has struggled when facing San Diego this year
Clayton Kershaw has been as dominant as any pitcher in baseball this season. He leads the National League with a 1.84 ERA, he's given up just 73 hits in 107 1/3 innings, and he's lasted seven frames in nine of his past 10 starts.
So how in the world is the Dodgers ace only 5-4?
Well, for one, he's hardly getting any offensive support at all, as the Dodgers have scored seven times in his four losses this year. The left-hander has allowed one earned run or fewer nine times, but his teammates have managed just 24 runs in those games, and he has received four no-decisions.
Another reason for Kershaw's middling winning percentage? The San Diego Padres.
The Friars have faced Kershaw twice this season -- both at Dodger Stadium -- and they've beaten him twice. In those starts, Kershaw couldn't get past the past the sixth inning, and he surrendered seven hits both times. In total, the Padres plated eight runs against the lefty, although only five were earned.
The NL West's other southpaw starter named Clayton gets the ball for the Padres. Clayton Richard is fresh off his best start of the year in which he allowed just one run in eight innings against the D-backs.
After a brutal first few months that saw Richard's ERA hover around eight, the Padres are hopeful his ability to keep the ball down on Sunday foreshadows better things to come.
"Clayton threw extremely well," Padres manager Bud Black said. "I thought he had good command of the fastball down in the zone, which is something he hasn't always had this season. He had good action with all of his pitches, which is what we expect of him every time out."
He'll have to contend with Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, who has fared extremely well against his former team. Thursday marked just the second time in 19 games that Gonzalez was held hitless against the Padres. He is batting .388 with two homers and 17 RBIs lifetime against San Diego, where he spent five seasons from 2006-10.
The Padres are part of an NL West logjam that has the top four teams separated by just three games. They sit in third place, 2 1/2 behind Arizona, while the cellar-dwelling Dodgers are 8 1/2 back.
Dodgers: Kemp on the mend
• Injured outfielder Matt Kemp is feeling better, but he still needs to run the bases before he can begin his rehab assignment for a hamstring injury.
Manager Don Mattingly said he's hopeful Kemp could begin his Minors stint early next week. The two-time All-Star hasn't played since May.
• Los Angeles recalled Elian Herrera from Triple-A Albuquerque and sent down reliever Chris Withrow. Herrera flied out in one pinch-hit at-bat Thursday.
Padres: Quentin unlikely to hit DL
• Carlos Quentin hasn't played since injuring his left shoulder on Friday, but the Padres are hopeful their left fielder isn't headed for a disabled list stint.
"Carlos is doing better, he's feeling better," Black said. "He's getting closer to hitting in the cage."
Quentin is batting .371 with two home runs in his last 10 games.
Worth noting
• Padres third baseman Chase Headley is hitting just .190 lifetime against Kershaw with nine strikeouts in 42 at-bats.
• Since Mattingly took over as Dodgers manager in 2011, Los Angeles has gone 14-8 at Petco Park.
• Gonzalez and shortstop Hanley Ramirez have 12 lifetime at-bats apiece against Richard. Ramirez has nine hits and Gonzalez has eight.

Greenpeace research has linked this commodity to rainforest destruction, slave labor and the invasion of indigenous land. The steel is eventually bought by major car companies including Ford, GM, BMW and Mercedes.05/21/2012

Alma's Only Bar welcomes "industrial metal" band Elete tonight, though band founder, songwriter and vocalist Roman Only hates to put a label on the sound. Here's what Only had to say:
Heh, that's my least favorite question to answer. I don't like to pigeonhole what we do into one category because people can get the wrong idea. We usually get described as industrial metal. Think Powerman, Rammstein, or Gravity Kills. We do some really heavy stuff; we do some middle-of-the-tracks rock-type stuff; we break it down occasionally and bring in pianos, strings, more organic and moving styles; we even have a song that has rap in it.
It's a combination of the work of a lot of other musicians and our obligation as humans to inspire change in the world. A lot of people of our species forget that we are of the same mold, the same roots in the universe - and so they live their lives selfishly and without consideration. We know that music can be used as a vehicle to mobilize a message of brotherhood, looking out for fellow men and women and working toward common goals instead of stepping on each other's backs to reach a personal goal. We want our message to be powerful, and that's why you see us wear masks and look how we do onstage, why we use concepts like "Change your world" and "There is no I in Elete"; we want to inspire people to make our home and ourselves better. We want to take part in fulfilling the human potential.
We go for a high-energy performance. Our appearance is dramatic; the lyrics are compelling and clear; our sound is tweaky and locked in. Because we take advantage of electronics, some interesting things happen to your ears when you catch the on and off beats between instruments and sequences - or if you're less of an audiophile and just like to rock, each song offers a message and a comfortable and rhythmic arrangement. I think a first-time listener can get into our songs as well as any seasoned fan because our material is so accessible; it's easy if you want it to be, or you can focus in on those little details that make it more complex.
Our guitarist, The Reverend (Gabriel Williams), wants to give a shout out to Alma; he used to live there and is excited about visiting. Also, if you'd like to hear some Elete, order a hard copy of our single, or even download the single for free; just go to www.eletemusic.com. ... Other than that we're just very excited to be part of the festivities and can't wait to hang out and get to know some new people in our home state.

Happy Holidays!
While some of you are experiencing a magical White Christmas, we are enjoying a decidedly tropical one. And although I'm sure I would love to be walking in a winter wonderland, all furry collars and earmuffs, I am quite content with these sunny skies, strappy tops, and a particular pair of bronze-y Brazilian flip-flops that made their way to my Christmas loot.
In keeping with the season (climate-wise), here in my corner of the world, I decided to forgo tradition and nix the pine tree this year. Instead, I bought a fabulous palm at our local market, draped it with these cool weaved-twine-ball lights I found in Bangkok, and decorated it with shells I found on an island in Bicol that we visited last month. It looks like a Christmas tree from some shipwrecked island and I love it. I scattered shells and Christmas balls around the house and used halved coconut husks for candle holders.
Most of my free time saw me stirring a big pot of bubbling Spiced Apple Chutney -- my Christmas gift this year. Though the flat smelled of it for days, it was well worth it to be able to hand over something homemade this year. And the hours it took to peel kilos of apples and coax them into chutney made for a lot of reflection time.
Though this season had its share of tough times, it was also all the more special for it. Moments with family seemed more precious, rituals more meaningful, and old squabbles put aside.
Now to make up for the absence of a white Christmas, we will be off to the beach to celebrate the New Year. I'll be back in January of a shiny new 2008 to open the next round of Hay Hay it's Donna Day! Until then, from my tropical islands to your home, wherever you hail, I hope you are having a memorable and meaningful holiday season full of love and hope!

I love improvised, personalized Christmas trees, and yours looks so YOU! :-) Years ago, I made a "tree" out of purple twine, cable wire, twist-ties, and my telephone table. It was so cool that I was loath to take it down, so it made it to the next Christmas!
I'm sure it'll be a fun White (Sand) New Year's Eve in Boracay -- nearly all my friends will be there, too, so the island will be hopping! See you when you get back! :-) - 1:52 PM

Hi Katrina! Thank you! I SO know what you mean...I don't want to take mine down either because it always makes me smile when I see it in the morning :) I'm thinking of saving it for a few New Year's parties still...what do you think? ;) The good part though is that even when I eventually take down the decor, I now have a plant to add life to our place :)
Hi Julius! Thank you so much! Your blog is awesome...I am always in awe at your delectable creations :)

Hi Joey,
beautiful Christmas decorations. I was back in Slovakia for Christmas and finally got a chance to try the jalapeno raisin pickle me and my dad made in summer. Aaaah, was it wonderful. Sweet and sour and spicy, really great. we decided to pickle a lot more next year. How did yours turn out ? - 3:58 AM

Deb,Do you have the link to Bert's emergency dough recipe?Thanks.Peter
Very good looking pies right there Deb. Did you use VT pepperoni ma'am?
thanks Bertthanks Bobyes, VT pepperoni, this batch seems a little greasier than previous. It fatted out, the sticks have a film of orange grease. Still better than other brands though
The last sticks I had kept for a good long time.Ha! I like your "fatted out" terminology. My GF thinks I'm nuts when I wash off the fat from say, a Nathans dog that got away from me a 'lil. I've never gotten sick or anything and they taste fine...but is it safe to do that Deb?Thanks!

by Marshall Chase Welcome aboard the Sony ES flagship Sony's top-of-the-lineSTR-DA5800ES receiver boasts nine channels of robust amplification and cutting-edge digital processing for captivating surround sound and crisp lifelike images with all your favorite movies, TV shows, and video games. You also get convenient connections that you won't find on most other receivers — including a built-in 4-port Ethernet switch and HDMI outputs for you main room plus a second zone. But you can also make this clever receiver the centerpiece of a home automation system. A receiver that can double as a home automation center At heart, the Sony STR-DA5800ES is all about entertainment, with the amplification and digital processing you need for crisp home theater images and gripping surround sound. It boasts convenient connections that you won't find on most receivers — like a built-in 4-port Ethernet switch and HDMI outputs for you main room plus a second zone. But you can also make this clever receiver the centerpiece of a home automation system. Sony's Easy Automation helps you get right to the fun The STR-DA5800ES comes with four fully customizable "scenes" that let you carry out an array of tasks with a single button push. Hit "Movie" to turn on your TV, start your Blu-ray player, and set volume and soundfield settings as desired. The receiver includes infrared blasters to control your additional components. Add Control4®-compatible lighting dimmers, and you can even make the 'DA5800ES dim the lights when your movie starts. Sony's one-room Easy Automation is built-in, so the receiver is ready out of the box for a simplified home theater experience. Plus, you can use additional Control4® accessories (not included) to run a full-fledged multi-room automation system throughout your home. (See more info on Control4 home automation and lighting.) Sound foundations Good sound always starts with clean, stable power. The STR-DA5800ES supplies its 9-channel amplifier with a beefy power transformer. Large block capacitors provide plenty of instantaneous current when dynamic peaks in your music or movies demand it. Convenient Internet entertainment hub A built-in Ethernet hub lets you connect the 'DA5800ES to your broadband network and provides three Ethernet ports for your other Internet-ready devices. But easy connections are just the beginning. Access a virtually limitless variety of music from online music services like Pandora® Internet radio or Slacker®. This receiver even comes with Netflix® streaming onboard, so you can instantly enjoy your favorite movies and shows. (Registration or subscription may be required.) Sony also offers a free, downloadable ES Remote app for your iPhone or Android™ smartphone so you can use it as a convenient Wi-Fi remote. Full control is in the palm of your hand with a remote that won't get lost in the sofa cushions. Requires connection to a wireless home network. Three HDMI outputs give you setup flexibility The '5800ES sports three HDMI outputs, two for your main viewing room and a third for a second room. In your main room, you can use the A and B outputs to connect a TV and a projector, or you could connect two TVs for watching the big game on both screens simultaneously. The third HDMI output lets you select an independent input source and send it to your secondary viewing room. Cable clutter out — sublime picture quality in HDMI switching lets you connect up to nine high-definition video components. With both audio and video signals going via HDMI, you'll have convenient single-cable connections to your compatible high-def components, and just one cable running to your TV. Plus, sophisticated video processing helps you get a better picture with older video sources like a VCR or non-HD cable box: just hook them up to the receiver with analog cables, and it sends a cleaner-looking digital signal to your TV via HDMI. Easy system setup and control Sony knows that most rooms present acoustic hurdles that can make setting up your system in the traditional way a time-consuming hassle. That's why they've included their auto speaker calibration, which takes away the pain, making setup quick, simple, and accurate. Just plug in the included microphone, place it in your favorite seat, and the 'DA5800ES automatically adjusts the volume and delay settings for each speaker. The result is precise, well-balanced home theater sound, custom-tailored for your specific room and speakers. And with Sony's intuitive on-screen menu, selecting sources and preferences is just a convenient click away. Learn about the ins and outs of HDMI connections at the Crutchfield Learning Center.

Completely Fine Written By ChrisS, Louisville KY on Saturday, March 22, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have this receiver hooked up to a Sony panel and a PS4 which I use for blurays and netflix. The receiver is driving Definitive Mythos STs and matched deftech center and rears. Here's the good news: The rig sounds great for both music and movies. Good job Sony and Definitive. (I speculate that the Mythos STs with their powered subs do not load the receiver very hard. Your mileage may vary.) The receiver and included microphone also did a great job with calibration. It was simple to use made the sound seamless. Here's the bad news: I selected this receiver from among the competition precisely because the other two devices are Sony products. My hope was that the devices would interoperate well and I would be able to use one remote. Not so much. Sometimes turning on the TV will bring on the receiver. It never turns on the PS4. And sometimes just the TV comes on. Sometimes the TV controls the receiver volume, sometimes not. Most annoying: the PS4/receiver combination consistently decides to play in 2.0 sound when starting a bluray. The work around is to power cycle the receiver and then it selects the proper encoding. I don't think I'm going to return it because it does sound good. But I am considering it because of the 2.0 problem with the PS4.
Good job Sony Written By Ted, Odessa, Tx on Thursday, November 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sound is very dynamic and easy to adjust. I have a sony tv which integrated nicely. The power can be felt in action movies and the reciever never gets hot. Picture is also very nice. The unit is heavy. Looking through the vent holes, you can see the quality of the unit. Its a big step up from sony's regular line. Pros: Great sound, awesome picture, all the connectivity that you will ever need, easy GUI, plenty of power, build quality Cons: None yet

Ailing Bucs turn to Locke as Tigers come to town
Verlander opens four-game series for Detroit
The Pirates have weathered the storm so far while Andrew McCutchen and Neil Walker have been injured, going 3-3 since McCutchen fractured his rib last Sunday.
However, the Bucs are going to be put to the test over the next three weeks. The Pirates' next 22 games come against teams with records north of the .500 mark, a stretch that starts Monday when the Tigers visit PNC Park for an Interleague tilt.
While the team waits and hopes McCutchen's rib and Walker's back will get better soon, the Pirates are looking to remain in the thick of playoff races in the National League Central and NL Wild Card.
"This playoff run is going to be about survival of the fittest," Pittsburgh general manager Neal Huntington said Sunday. "Every team has faced injury adversity, and we're in the middle of it right now. It's going to be the team that battles through it the best who ends up standing at the end."
The Pirates will start this tough stretch of schedule with left-hander Jeff Locke on the mound, who was stronger as he went along in his last start.
Against the Marlins on Wednesday, Locke gave up three runs to the first 10 batters he faced. But no batter reached second base against Locke afterward as he sat down 16 of the last 17 he faced, including the final 13.
"I guess when damage is done, it's better that it's done quick," Locke said. "I just tried to get in a groove and stay in a groove for as long as I can."
With the teams playing two games in Pittsburgh and a pair in Detroit over the next four days, the Pirates will dodge one Cy Young Award winner in David Price, but they do get Justin Verlander on Monday.
Verlander has dominated the NL throughout his career. He has a 25-2 interleague record, a 14-game winning streak, which dates back to 2010, including four wins against the NL this season.
Verlander has silenced the Pirates, in particular. Including a 13-strikeout performance last season, the righty is 4-0 with a 1.97 ERA and 0.81 WHIP against the Bucs in his career.
Tigers: Trip marks last time without DH
The Tigers face their final two games this regular season without a designated hitter in their short stay in Pittsburgh this week.
Though manager Brad Ausmus has used Victor Martinez to catch in some games in NL parks, he said Sunday he doesn't plan on doing that this time.
"Because of the side injury he had before the break, we were going to have him catch some bullpens in Arizona [two weeks ago] but I didn't want to risk it," Ausmus said. "So at this point, we won't catch Victor, but there's a good possibility that [Miguel Cabrera] will play third."
Cabrera at third base, his everyday position in 2012 and '13, would free up first base for Martinez, where he's appeared 18 times this season.
Pirates: Cole gives up just one hit in third rehab start
Gerrit Cole carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning and surrendered just one hit in six scoreless innings for Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.
It was a much better showing for the right-hander than a Tuesday start in which he gave up five runs on 10 hits in 4 1/3 innings. The Pirates called Cole's last start a "gear down" game and noted he had a checklist he worked through. It was different for Cole on Sunday.
"The process for Gerrit today is a little bit more competitive today as far as attacking hitters, versus being refined, being in control, working on pitch sequences," Huntington said Sunday before Cole's sharp outing.
Cole is working back from a strained right lat, which has sidelined him since July 4. This is his second stint on the disabled list this season, as he missed nearly all of June with right shoulder fatigue.
Worth noting
• Verlander has never tallied five Interleague wins in a single season. He can accomplish the feat Monday with a win against the Pirates.
• The Pirates scored five runs in their three-game series against the Padres -- all of which came in the first inning. The Bucs haven't scored a run in an inning other than the first since scoring two runs in the eighth on Thursday against the Marlins.

Four vie for three PDH board seats, no contested races for PUSD
Linda SatchwellStaff Writer8/10/2010The Plumas District Hospital Measure B election Aug. 31 looms large, overshadowing the November elections in many ways. But there are some key races that warrant a closer look.
The main one is the race for PDH's board, at press time the only contested election. Three hospital board seats are open. Bill Elliott, John Kimmel and Fred Thon currently hold those. Elliott is not running but Kimmel and Thon are.
Two new candidates have thrown their hats in the ring, Kathy Price and Bill Wickman. Wickman has been vocal in supporting the hospital building project and serves on the hospital's Measure A oversight committee and the Foundation board.
He said Bill Elliott encouraged him to run, and he's been preparing for this for a couple of years, choosing to shift his focus from the school district to the hospital.
Price has been a nurse practitioner in Quincy since she moved here in 1975. She recently retired. Previously, she served 12 years on the school board.
She said she's "looking forward to the challenge" of being on the board whether Measure B passes or not.
She said she plans to vote No on Measure B, but understands the motivation of the people who put it on the ballot. "I wish the board had been more receptive to what the people wanted a long time ago," she added.
Because Elliott, an incumbent, has declined to run, the filing period for the PDH board remains open an additional five days, until 5 p.m. today, Aug. 11.
In the Plumas Unified School Board election, incumbent Sue Wickman withdrew her candidacy at 4:45 p.m. Friday, Aug. 6, the final filing day. This opens her District 3 (Quincy) seat for an additional five days.
At this time, Robert Tuerck has filed to run for the open District 3 seat. He has a law practice in Quincy with his wife.
"Through our practice," he said, "we have a fair amount of involvement with the county. We are interested in participating in the future and growth of the county. We're a young couple. If we decide to raise a family here, we want to make sure the school system is fully supported. I'm running to make sure that happens."
The other PUSD board members up for election are Sonja Anderson, District 5, Chester; Brad Baker, District 2, East Quincy; and Jonathan Kusel, District 4, Greenville. Kusel previously was appointed to his seat. Barring a write-in campaign, these three will resume their seats, since they are running unopposed.
Indian Valley Health Care, Seneca Health Care, Feather River College and Sierra Plumas Joint Unified School District had board seats up for election and only incumbents filed, so they will resume their seats as well, if there is no write-in effort.
If candidates have filed personal statements, they won't be available to the public until the end of the extended filing period, today.

We absolutely love the design of this fan. Our only complaint, is the directions. The installation manual was worse than one you'd get from Ikea to put furniture together. There are skipped steps, bunched together steps, and the illustrations are almost useless. It made for very slow going when it came to installing it. But once we got it up, we couldn't be happier. It's dead quiet, and can really move some air. It really helps bring the living room together.
I've had this fan up for about a year now and its just fantastic. Its quiet, even when on super high speed. Looks great on and off. The light is super bright with a dimmer. We needed a larger fan for our room, so this one looks modern and fits into our somewhat traditional style. It comes with a remote control with a holder you attach to the wall. I do remember 2 things that stand out about installing it. It was a little bit of a challenge to put it together. I've put many together and this one was a bit harder than most. The other thing is there are so many wires because of the remote control that you need to fit under the cover of the ceiling mount. It took several tries and some arguing with my husband to get it to fit. Luckily were still married after that one! We laughed about it afterwards and stated that we are never taking it down...lol. It will take 2 people to get it on. Like I said, beautiful fan and makes a statement in the room.
Put two of these in a large great room. They are great, no noise or vibration, do just as well as my expensive fanimation fans. Highly recommend. Fun look.
I love this ceiling fan - it is very stylish as well as very well made. It is not like any typical ceiling fan - and is sophisticated in its mechanics and movement. I could not find anything similar in stores unless I were to pay a lot more.
This fan was just what I expected. It worked perfectly in my family room!!
This is the best looking and operating ceiling fan I've every seen. Its even nicer in person and operates so smoothly with remote and phase in light.
