With All Your Heart
Eric Ortlund | Mar 5, 2012
In Joel ch. 2, the prophet calls God's people to return to their Lord with all their heart, tearing their hearts and not their clothes. That implies that you can return to the Lord without doing it with all your heart. And I'm not thinking here of conscious hypocrisy, somebody going through the motions of church, all the while counting the mintues until they can get back to their favorite sins without any thought of repentance. It's possible for us, at some conscious level, to turn to the Lord, but without all our hearts.
I think few would disagree that there are hidden depths in all of us. But what's a little more uncomfortable is the idea that these depths are not only hidden from us, but also not under our control: regions both unexplored and unconquerable. Returning to the Lord with
our heart is maybe not as simple as just being really consciously intense about it.
When theological questions come up in classes, students often refer to "free will." If often seems to me that it's the thing students say when they can't think of anything else, as if free will solves every mystery, when, in my opinion, it solves none. The problem is that most of my students leave undefined what "free" means, or what kind of "freedom" a Christian might want (remember Romans 6: as His Holiness Bob Dylan once said, Everybody gonna serve somebody). It also seems to assume that one's will is a unified, self-consistent, and relatively transparent thing. I agree that I have a will (I am not a puppet), but I find my will internally divided, and not always readily available for conscious inspection. I tend to want things I know won't make me happy, and I tend to want contradictory things. And knowing they're contradictory doesn't make the wanting go away.
I'm not saying this to drive us to despair; and strange as it may sound, I don't think having a divided, unfree will relieves me of moral responsibility. I narrate these reflections to complicate what it means to return to the Lord. It seems to me that doing so involves not summoning my whole self to stand at attention before myself so that I can then present myself to the Lord. It's rather being quiet, knowing that I am an unsolvable knot, but also knowing Jesus knows me and is not overwhelmed by my knottiness. It means being quiet, looking outward, and starting to pray, even if the words seem kind of fake at first. And instead of us summoning ourselves, we find ourselves summoned as we pray, as the Spirit shines his light on those different unconquered regions, and ministers to us. And by the time we say "Amen," we find we've changed in ways we could never work for ourselves.

i bought mighty aphrodite. but i've never been able to get much colour off the raspberry shade because it's not as soft as the main peachy part. maybe i just need to go back and rub off a coating or something as you had described for (i think) the EDs...
there are some really good ones in there! but the onslaught of the LE's can be a bit preoccupying!
Well, with Lustre Drops, a little goes a loooooong way - if you're near a MAC or MAC counter, you can test the perm ones to get an idea of the formula. I figure that little bottle should last way more than a year, unless you slather the stuff all over your body I'd like a bottle of 'em, myself, i like that rose gold color.
As far as RiRi Boy and Heaux, i still want to see some swatches - i still have 5 more pages to read, so maybe some are lurking in there.
But from photos and hints, it sounds like they're basically Up the Amp (RRB) and Rebel (H) in retro-matte formula. Since i'm not a big matte lipstick fiend, my excitement is winding down. I guess i'll just go to MAC and get Up the Amp - it's about time i had it. I'll skip Rebel because i have so many dark plum and berry lipsticks, and it doesn't seem extremely different. And if RRB and Hx are darker than the regular colors they're based on, well, I can darken them with some black lip liner or a little OCC lip tar.
as a purple lover i'm surprised you don't already have that one!
i was thinking the same...i already have rebel and uta...but from that pic posted of the riri dancer, boy looks a little lighter/less grey than uta. i don't know how accurate the colours are....

No trash can
Asked on Nov 17, 2013 - 10:38 UTC
Have you thought about implementing a trash can so that instead of things being deleted when you choose to delete, it just moves things to the trash can instead?
I believe this is a very good feature, people are people and we will always make mistakes ...
I have seen enough requests on "how to delete accidentally deleted items" that I think this would be worthwile ...
Bar that, thanks for a very good application!

Easter week in Sorrento
We will be arriving in Sorrento on Holy Saturday (the day before Easter) and will be staying until the Thursday of that week, planning on using Sorrento as our base for trips to Herculaneum, Paestum, Vietri sul Mare, Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. My question: what will be best seen on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday (both holidays)? I am thinking perhaps Positano and Amalfi on Easter and Herculaneum on Monday, as they are both "touristy"locations and most likely to have shops and restaurants open..what would you suggest?

Great Fit
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
First off the Mammut quality is in this jacket, very well made and fits well. The jacket is not as heavy as I hoped however under a shell it keeps the wind at bay. I wore it on a bluebird outing at about -5C and was warm, the hood really is snug fitting for when the breeze kicks up. I just had a merino wool base layer underneath and did not feel cold or clammy at any point. Overall I'm impressed with this jacket and will no doubt be wearing it a lot in the future. The hood really does fit snugly and does not impair vision when you turn your head. Will be great for climbing!

Fernie Snowboarding Video0
As promised, here is the finished video of my snowboarding trip to Fernie in February. This will be the first video that I have made using Final Cut and I was pretty happy with how it turned out. This will also the first time that I've attempted using more complicated effects than fading in and out. I think they came out not too badly and look forward to playing around with them more in the future.

Snowboarding in Fernie, BC1
Today I returned from a snowboarding trip to Fernie, BC through Red River College. We rode in the mountains for 3 days while staying at the Stanford Inn. There was an overnight snow the night before our last day so we did get to enjoy some powder before we left.
Snowboarding in the mountains is nothing like the hills around Manitoba and was an awesome experience. Sadly the downside to the mountains is getting there. We took over a 15 hour bus trip across the prairies for this trip, and there is NOTHING on the prairies. Many of us on the trip decided that a flight would be worth the extra cash next time around.
We stayed in a 18 person chalet, which every night had at least 50 people in it during peak party times. Surprisingly, there were no damage charges or any extra fines despite a few damaged items (coffee pot, vents, doors, etc).
Through the trip we did do some filming so there should be a video out within the next few weeks, but I may kick out some smaller clips to YouTube before then.

|Author: William Allan
|Painting, Oil on canvas, 43x63 cm
|Origin: Britain, 1814
The Scotsman William Allan spent nine years in Russia, where he sought to capture new and interesting themes. He lived for a time in St Petersburg and travelled around the Ukraine, the Crimea, the Caucasus and the Caspian steppes. Allan returned to his native Edinburgh in 1814 with a large collection of everyday objects, clothing and weapons, which he used in creating paintings with scenes from the life of peoples who were little known outside the Russian Empire.
Bashkirs is remarkable for the ethnographical precision with which the characters are depicted, a precision which drew the attention of Grand Duke Nikolai Pavlovich , who was in Edinburgh in 1816 and visited Allan's studio. He purchased three paintings from the artist for the Anichkov Palace, his residence in St Petersburg. The original title of this work was Bashkirs Conducting Convicts to Siberia, which would seem to be a typical reflection of the kind of scenes Allan would have been witness to during his travels.

« Mice, Humans, and Cancer |
| My Shopping List »
Posted by Derek
There are plenty of links around the blog world to the Edge.org "Dangerous Ideas" symposium, and much of it makes for good reading. But there are some clinkers. I was going to take some time to disassemble this one from biologist Paul Ewald, but that effort has already been made for me.
Put briefly, Ewald is a believer in the more extravagant reaches of the "New Germ Theory", the idea that many more diseases than we now think are actually caused by infectious agents. But he also seems to believe that even if vaccines were possible for things like cardiovacular disease that no drug company would develop them. Y'know, so we could keep selling our regular drugs instead of curing diseases. But it never seems to occur to people who advance ideas like this that such a vaccine would make an overwhelming amount of money, and that we'd be very interested in it indeed. Think about how much people are willing to pay for, say, medication to lower their cholesterol or keep their blood pressure down. Think how much people pay yearly for insulin or for asthma medication - whole companies are founded on these kinds of franchises, even with fierce competition between drugs.
Now imagine how much people would pay to never have to do that again. Quite a bit, I'd guess, since you no longer have the disease and no longer have to take any drugs for it. And here's the real kicker: the company that comes up with this wonder cure would scoop up the revenue from the entire therapeutic area, because there would be nothing that could compete. No, I think that we'd be quite intrigued.
Now, I have to say that such treatments probably aren't going to turn out to be possible in most cases. I like a lot of the New Germ Theory stuff, but I'm not sure if it can be pushed this far - although I'd love to be proven wrong about that. But the best way to make sure that they don't happen is to remove that gigantic incentive. Any company that makes a serious try at something like this will be taking a very large, very expensive risk, and if they know that there's a patent seizure waiting at the end of it they may decide that the money is better spent elsewhere. It would get done, eventually, but the fastest way - if there is a way at all - is to let profit-minded companies scramble for it.

I pity the company that invents a truly effective broad-spectrum vaccine for cancer. It would take less than 24 hours for Ted Kennedy to be pounding his lectern, accusing them of "withholding" treatment from the poor (by their evil, greedy corporate scheme of charging money for the product).
The more effective the drug is, the more tempting it becomes as a target for nationalization. Of course we'll never call it that. No, we'll just do mass "reimportation" from some country that was allowed to make the stuff off patent due to a UN resolution in the name of social justice for the oppressed.
Sorry, this whole topic really flips my bits.
I utterly despise politicians who bash drug companies. You guys make miracles. If we don't also let you make money, the miracles will cease.

The corporate conspiracy argument is pretty frustrating when it comes at you at, say, a dinner party. The counterarguments that I've tried are 1) the incentives for being first to market with a vaccine (or cure) would be tremendous; and 2) supplanting existing therapy isn't an issue if you don't market an existing therapy of your own. I suspect Protherics doesn't have any ACE inhibitors, for an example. Unfortunately, I haven't made much headway with the people I've talked to about this..
4. Petros on January 6, 2006 8:42 AM writes...
This raises an interesting point and I suspect pharma is in a lose/lose position on this, someone will have a go regardless.
I'm just waiting for the mud to start flying around when the critics spot Celgene's pricing policy for its newly approved lenalidomide. The reported price for this simple synthetic is higher than that of many recombinant products.

6. Demosthenes by day on January 6, 2006 10:32 AM writes...
This version of the conspiracy argument that goes "Corporations don't want to see better versions of fill in the blank" has always been a curious argument, to me. I agree with Derek that in this very capatalistic society that the money to be made in any of these advances far, far outweighs any secret hidden motive to not develop something.
Just as advised in any good conspiracy theory to "follow the money". The same idea applies here in that any company is going to "follow the money" to try and make much, much more

There may be more diseases traceable to germs than we know. Time will tell. As for companies trying to avoid vaccinating people against such conditions, this is nonsense. MRK is launching a vaccine for ovarian cancer soon that works by immunizing against Human Pappilloma virus, the primary cause of OC (thus the pap smear). Predictably, the kooky Right is against it because HPV can be transmitted by sex and we all know, they think sex is bad. Of course, HPV can also be transmitted by toilet seats.....

To be clear, Tom, even the Kooky Right (as opposed to the everyday right) doesn't think sex is bad.
They think having sex outside of marriage is bad.
(The everyday right thinks, as near as I can tell, that having lots of sex, especially unprotected, with random people is foolish and probably bad. But then nearly everyone over 25 or so that isn't on the Kooky Left (or just plain Kooky) thinks that...)

Just to be clear, Sigivald,
The Kooky Right thinks it's better for young women to die horrible deaths than to have sex outside of marriage. And there is no connection between being lefty and having random, unprotected sex, despite what the aforementioned K.R. may think.

Thanks for distinguishing the "new germ theory" component from the "pharma conspiracy".
While the "new germ theory" has the merit of falsifiability by experiment in any particular case, the "pharma conspiracy" is just another generation of those unfalsifiable beliefs known as urban legends.
When I was a kid, the popular manifestation was the "200 mile per gallon carbeurator", or the Pogue carbeurator which big auto manufacturers or big oil companies had purchased, purloined, or otherwise spirited away to oppress the public.
Before that it was the "100 year light bulb".
For a thorough examination of this species of urban legend, see

I don't buy Ewald's theory, but not because of any fancy macroeconomics. Just look at the biology.
Vaccines require booster shots. Even if there are no patents and the profit margin is only 1%, it's a steady guaranteed 1%, year after year, forever, on a gross billions of dollars a year. In other words, retail sales heaven.
Moreover, you cannot just go dosing the entire population to the gills with hundreds of the most active innoculants you can find. That would give an appalling rate of autoimmune disease. Each innoculant in each booster shot will need to be customized for the recipient, based on their current blood antibody levels (and maybe even skin antibody levels). That will require automation of fluorescence microarray scanners on a massive scale, requiring a huge new industry to support it, as well as automated innoculant mixers.

Y'know, it's too bad that Ewald has to say all this extra stuff that gives the whole "infectious causes of chronic disease" research area--which happens to be a big interest of mine--a bad name. He did the same thing with the evolution of virulence, taking it too far and making grand sweeping proclamations that can't really be backed up. Makes people think he's a crank, and therefore the ideas he supports are similarly wacko.

Gay marriage vote passed by Commons but divides Conservatives
Posted: February 06, 2013|
David Cameron got his way as gay marriage legislation cleared its first hurdle in the Commons last night – but saw his party split down the middle.
After the Prime Minister made a last-ditch appeal for support, the House backed the proposals by a big margin of 400 to 175.
However, with Labour and Liberal Democrats strongly in favour, it was clear that scores of Tories had taken advantage of the free vote to register their opposition. The Labour Whips office suggested that 139 Tories had voted against the Bill, with 132 in favour. Dozens more did not vote.
The result followed more than six hours of stormy debate on the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill. Culture Secretary Maria Miller said it would make Britain "a fairer place to live", and insisted religious organisations which did not want to conduct gay marriages had protection. But Tory MPs lined up to condemn the measures – including the chairman of the backbench 1922 Committee Graham Brady, who said he had "serious misgivings" over assurances on religious freedom.
Former defence minister Sir Gerald Howarth said that the Government had no mandate for such a "massive social and cultural change", which was not mentioned in the Conservative manifesto for the 2010 election.
Speaking in Downing Street less than two hours before the crunch vote, Mr Cameron accepted that there were "strong views on both sides of the argument".
But he said: "I am a strong believer in marriage. It helps people commit to each other and I think it is right that gay people should be able to get married too. This is, yes, about equality. But it is also about making our society stronger.
"I know there are strong views on both sides of the argument – I accept that. But I think this is an important step forward for our country."
Mr Cameron did not attend the debate, but Downing Street had indicated that he would be voting.
Labour leader Ed Miliband said: ''This is a proud day and an important step forward in the fight for equality in Britain. The overwhelming majority of Labour MPs supported this change to make sure marriage reflects the value we place on long-term, loving relationships whoever you love.
"Equal marriage builds on Labour's successes in government which include the repeal of Section 28, equalising the age of consent, the introduction of civil partnerships and changes to the rules governing adoption."
Before the vote, Salisbury's Tory MP John Glen questioned the politics of the move: "By a factor of a least 30 to one my constituents have expressed their opposition to this. Those that are indifferent or in favour of the change are unlikely to change their vote over it. But the level of disappointment of a much larger minority, as witnessed by the 635,000 who have signed the coalition for marriage petition, is keenly felt and will, in my view, be a highly motivated electoral minority in future elections."
Former minister Edward Leigh said the plans were an affront to many traditional Conservatives.
"We should be in the business of protecting cherished institutions and our cultural heritage otherwise what, I ask, is a Conservative Party for?
"Indeed, we are alienating people who have voted for us for all their lives, leaving them with no one to vote for."
Tory former defence minister Sir Gerald Howarth said the legislation was a "massive change" which "deeply affects the core fabric of our society through the challenge it poses to the whole institution of marriage".
Conservative Sir Roger Gale (North Thanet) said: "It is not possible to redefine marriage. Marriage is the union between a man and a woman, has been historically, remains so. It is Alice in Wonderland territory, Orwellian almost, for any government of any political persuasion to seek to come along and try to re-write the lexicon. It will not do."
Sir Roger stressed he did not subscribe to the notion, but said he recognised the merit in the argument. But Conservative former justice minister Nick Herbert, who is gay, said: "I know that the signal we send today about whether the law fully recognises the place of gay people in our society will really matter."

Yesterday Ellis told Virtual Festivals that he's in negotiations to bring another massive act to Balado - a personal favourite of his, who he claims, "will be worth the ticket price itself!"

Looking for some star-studded post-Grammy action, a slew of celebrities flocked to the Chateau Marmont last night (February 8) for the Warner Music Group Annual Grammy Celebration.
It's one of the most-anticipated movies of the year and "Furious 7" has just released a high-intensity trailer for all to enjoy.
She's a fan of lavish trips, and Kim Kardashian decided to jet set off to another luxurious vacation to round out the week.
Earlier today, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" babe landed in Dubai to spend some quality time with her gal pals, which includes "Fast & Furious" hottie Michelle Rodriguez.
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art was the place to be on Saturday night (November 1) as the 2014 LACMA Art+Film Gala honored Barbara Kruger and Quentin Tarantino.
Stepping out for a swanky evening, Gwyneth Paltrow hosted the amfAR LA Inspiration Gala Honoring Tom Ford in Hollywood last night (October 29).
Following their romantic getaway in Italy earlier this summer, the sizzle between Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez seemed to subside.
However, the "Hairspray" hunk and the "Fast & Furious" female got together on a yacht last night (July 31) in Ibiza, Spain, and it looks like things are going well for them.
Enjoying a new phase in her life, Michelle Rodriguez debuted her newly chopped coif on Instagram Tuesday (July 22).
The "Fast & Furious" actress revealed her bangs in the darling selfie and wrote, "Finally got my hair did. New Look New Life New Vibe washed yesterday right out of my hair looking forward baby."
Making the most of their time in the 'boot,' Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez returned to Sardinia, Italy after a boating excursion on Thursday (July 3).
The "Neighbors" hunk and the "Fast and Furious" lady flew into the local airport via a private jet and were accompanied by their host, Italian businessman Gianluca Vacchi and his girlfriend.

The economic slowdown hit Wisconsin in July as the state lost 12,500 private sector jobs on a seasonally-adjusted basis, according to the state Department of Workforce Development.
The state gained 4,300 government jobs during the month, so the state had a net job loss of 8,200 during the month, on a seasonally adjusted basis.
Most of the government jobs (4,100) were added at the local level. The federal government added 300 jobs in the state and the state cut 100 government jobs.
The July job losses cancel out most of the 12,900 private sector job gain and 9,500 net job gain that the state posted in June on a seasonally adjusted basis.
The news is a blow to Gov. Scott Walker's goal of helping the private sector in the state create 250,000 jobs during his first term in office. The state has now added 28,700 private sector jobs since Walker was sworn in at the beginning of this year. At that pace of about 4,100 private sector jobs per month the state will add only 196,800 private sector jobs by the end of Walker's term. The state needs to add an average of 5,208 private sector jobs each month to reach Walker's goal.
Department of Workforce Development Secretary Scott Baumbach said the slowdown of the national economy was the biggest reason for the state's job decline in July.
"Wisconsin is not immune to the national economic slowdown this summer, and we are seeing the effects of the national economy in our July numbers," Baumbach said. "The wild market fluctuations during the debt ceiling negotiations, the European debt crisis and other factors contributed to a great deal of uncertainty, which may very well have affected Wisconsin's job numbers given our state's ties to the national economy."
The U.S. economy added 117,000 jobs in July and the national unemployment rate fell slightly to 9.1 percent from 9.2 percent in June, the U.S. Labor Department reported earlier this month.
Wisconsin's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 7.8 percent in July, up from 7.6 percent in June, the Department of Workforce Development said.

Capsule Wardrobe Day #3
A booter is when you step into a puddle and the water level is higher than the top of your shoe or boot, which fills with water.
Today, I'm going to the library, going to a lecture series, vacuuming for our last PCO treatment and brainstorming for our wedding registry. You'll note I'm alternating things I don't want to do, and things I do want to do! I'm having difficulty making myself go to the library, since my morning consisted of bleaching some curtains (somehow the black curtains and the white curtains had a sexy time in the washing machine without my knowledge) and cleaning, neither of which was particularly fun (ok, I did have fun stirring the curtains in my bathtub with a giant plastic spoon).
The outfit introduces my last of my 10 pieces: the pink cardigan and the black riding boots. So all together we have
1. brown winter boots
2. oxford heels
3. black riding boots
4. striped shirt
5. graphic tee
6. skinny jeans
7. silk top
8. white eyelet jacket
9. striped skirt
10. pink cardigan
I'm lacking in the accessories department - so far just
1. Studded belt
2. Chinese Laundry belt
3. black scarf
I think even with another scarf for Friday's outfit, I'll probably only have 4... I can't find most of my accessories!!

Totally had no clue what a booter is.ReplyDelete
You look so pretty in pink! I love that silky top, too.
That's not a booter, that's a soaker. At least that's what we've always called it in the nation's capital. :)ReplyDelete
Cute silky top! I had never heard the term 'booter' - but it sounds really unpleasant!ReplyDelete
I like all the pink in this - great colour for you. These looks are all so different - I bet most people would never guess you're doing a capsule.ReplyDelete
Strangely, considering how much rain the West coast gets, I've never heard of either "soaker" or "booter."
Ah! I nearly knew! I love the colour of that pink top with the gorgeous colour of jeans!ReplyDelete
Great look today - simple but elegant.ReplyDelete
love the cardie and belt combo - wish i had a cardie and a belt in my items now!ReplyDelete
I love this outfit! The pink is a great color on you, and the belt looks fab. You look so put together and chic.ReplyDelete
Okay, catching up on posts! And I had to comment on this one since I had no idea what a booter was at all! I'm glad I didn't guess... I was wildly off. Your outfit is super cute though!! :)ReplyDelete

Music Video: King Krule "A Lizard State"Music // Wednesday, January 08, 2014
One of the Juxtapoz offices favorite album of 2013 was King Krule's brilliant 6 Feet Beneath the Moon from XL Recordings. Not only does the 19-year old singer/songwriter have one of the most unexpected voices in contemporary music, but his songs are like mini cinematic escapes, a unique brand of storytelling. Director Jamie-James Medina takes this quality to heart and transforms Krule's jazzy "A Lizard State" into a Hitchcock showcase.
Exclusive: King Krule @ ALIFE NYCMusic // Monday, September 30, 2013
The Juxtapoz office is pretty certain that King Krule and his new LP, 6 Feet Beneath the Moon, is one of the best of 2013. Our roaming photo editor, Brock Fetch, the author of our almost monthly Brock Life column in the magazine, was lucky enough to document the British musicians set in the backyard of ALIFE's Lower East Side location, and today we have a video of King Krule performing "Rock Bottom."
Music Video: King Krule "Easy Easy"Music // Tuesday, August 13, 2013
It kind of blows our minds that someone this young, such as the 18-year old UK-based musician King Krule, can be so confident and this good. We have known about King Krule for a bit now, but his new video for "Easy Easy" which shows two young British lads going around looking up to no good, even getting involved in some tags and what not, is one of the best songs we have heard all year, and just an interesting video treatment to enjoy this morning. Directed by Focus Creeps.

"Through June of this year, the cholesterol-lowering drug rosuvastatin (Crestor, AstraZeneca) was the most prescribed branded drug in the United States, and the arthritis drug adalimumab (Humira, Abbott Laboratories) was the best-sel"...
Neostigmine has been associated with bradycardia. Atropine sulfate or glycopyrrolate should be administered prior to BLOXIVERZ to lessen the risk of bradycardia [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Serious Adverse Reactions In Patients With Certain Coexisting Conditions
BLOXIVERZ should be used with caution in patients with coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmias, recent acute coronary syndrome or myasthenia gravis. Because of the known pharmacology of neostigmine methylsulfate as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, cardiovascular effects such as bradycardia, hypotension or dysrhythmia would be anticipated. In patients with certain cardiovascular conditions such as coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmias or recent acute coronary syndrome, the risk of blood pressure and heart rate complications may be increased. Risk of these complications may also be increased in patients with myasthenia gravis. Standard antagonism with anticholinergics (e.g., atropine) is generally successful to mitigate the risk of cardiovascular complications.
Because of the possibility of hypersensitivity, atropine and medications to treat anaphylaxis should be readily available.
Neuromuscular Dysfunction
Large doses of BLOXIVERZ administered when neuromuscular blockade is minimal can produce neuromuscular dysfunction. The dose of BLOXIVERZ should be reduced if recovery from neuromuscular blockade is nearly complete.
Cholinergic Crisis
It is important to differentiate between myasthenic crisis and cholinergic crisis caused by overdosage of BLOXIVERZ. Both conditions result in extreme muscle weakness but require radically different treatment. [see OVERDOSAGE]
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility
Long-term animal studies have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of neostigmine.
Neostigmine methylsulfate was not mutagenic or clastogenic when evaluated in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test), an in vitro Chinese hamster ovary cell chromosomal aberration assay, or an in vivo mouse bone marrow micronucleus assay.
Impairment of Fertility
Studies on the effect of neostigmine methylsulfate on fertility have not been performed.
Use In Specific Populations
Teratogenic Effects
Pregnancy Category C
It is not known whether neostigmine methylsulfate can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. BLOXIVERZ should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with neostigmine methylsulfate.
Labor And Delivery
The effect of BLOXIVERZ on the mother and fetus with regard to labor, delivery, the need for forceps delivery or other intervention or resuscitation of the newborn, is not known.
Cholinesterase inhibitor drugs may induce premature labor when given intravenously to pregnant women near term.
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether neostigmine methylsulfate is excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when BLOXIVERZ is administered to a nursing woman.
Pediatric Use
BLOXIVERZ is approved for the reversal of the effects of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents after surgery in pediatric patients of all ages.
Recovery of neuromuscular activity occurs more rapidly with smaller doses of cholinesterase inhibitors in infants and children than in adults. However, infants and small children may be at greater risk of complications from incomplete reversal of neuromuscular blockade due to decreased respiratory reserve. The risks associated with incomplete reversal outweigh any risk from giving higher doses of BLOXIVERZ (up to 0.07 mg/kg or up to a total of 5 mg, whichever is lower).
The dose of BLOXIVERZ required to reverse neuromuscular blockade in children varies between 0.03 mg - 0.07 mg/kg, the same dose range shown to be effective in adults, and should be selected using the same criteria as used for adult patients. [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]
Since the blood pressure in pediatric patients, particularly infants and neonates, is sensitive to changes in heart rate, the effects of an anticholinergic agent (e.g., atropine) should be observed prior to administration of neostigmine to lessen the probability of bradycardia and hypotension.
Geriatric Use
Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, BLOXIVERZ should be used with caution and monitored for a longer period in elderly patients. The duration of action of neostigmine methylsulfate is prolonged in the elderly; however, elderly patients also experience slower spontaneous recovery from neuromuscular blocking agents. Therefore, dosage adjustments are not generally needed in geriatric patients; however, they should be monitored for longer periods than younger adults to assure additional doses of BLOXIVERZ are not required. The duration of monitoring should be predicated on the anticipated duration of action for the NMBA used on the patient. [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Renal Impairment
Elimination half-life of neostigmine methylsulfate was prolonged in anephric patients compared to normal subjects.
Although no adjustments to BLOXIVERZ dosing appear to be warranted in patients with impaired renal function, they should be closely monitored to assure the effects of the neuromuscular blocking agent, particularly one cleared by the kidneys, do not persist beyond those of BLOXIVERZ. In this regard, the interval for re-dosing the neuromuscular blocking agent during the surgical procedure may be useful in determining whether, and to what extent, post-operative monitoring needs to be extended.
Hepatic Impairment
The pharmacokinetics of neostigmine methylsulfate in patients with hepatic impairment have not been studied. Neostigmine methylsulfate is metabolized by microsomal enzymes in the liver. No adjustments to the dosing of BLOXIVERZ appear to be warranted in patients with hepatic insufficiency. However, patients should be carefully monitored if hepatically cleared neuromuscular blocking agents were used during their surgical procedure as their duration of action may be prolonged by hepatic insufficiency whereas BLOXIVERZ, which undergoes renal elimination, will not likely be affected. This could result in the effects of the neuromuscular blocking agent outlasting those of BLOXIVERZ. This same situation may arise if the neuromuscular blocking agent has active metabolites. In this regard, the interval for re-dosing the neuromuscular blocking agent during the surgical procedure may be useful in determining whether, and to what extent, post-operative monitoring needs to be extended.

A cold blast is forecast to hit the North Coast tonight, bringing below-freezing overnight temperatures through the weekend.
The sharp dip is expected to fill shelters and could threaten outdoor plants.
"Overall, this may be some of the coldest weather we've had this winter," senior AccuWeather meteorologist Bob Smerbeck said Wednesday. "Anyone with susceptible plants better have a game plan beginning Thursday night."
Daytime highs are expected to be in the upper 40s with cloudy skies and rain possible Saturday night, Smerbeck said.
The chilly conditions will continue through the beginning of next week, he said.
It's not the first cold snap this winter. Temperatures in Sonoma County dropped to 26 degrees Dec. 19. But Smerbeck said it will be the longest period of freezing weather so far.
In Santa Rosa, temperatures will drop to 29 degrees overnight tonight, 32 on Friday and Saturday and 30 on Sunday.
Ukiah and the Napa Valley will have slightly lower temperatures.
It's all part of a cold front coming down from western Canada and sweeping across the country.
Smerbeck said the normal high this time of the year in Santa Rosa is 58 and the normal low is 39.

When people talk about thank you cards, I have always thought that most wedding and shower gifts that I have given were followed by a thank you card. Then I realized that this is not true. I just realized that in the past 3 years I have attended 9 weddings/showers and only received a thank you card for TWO of them. Of those, it is only one person who sent a thank you card for both her shower and her wedding. This is quite astonishing to me. I know that people are saying that thank you cards and RSVPs seem to be dwindling, but I never even realized that it had dwindled so much in my own life!! Are other people experiencing this? I couldn't even ask "did you get my gift?" because in each case I either saw them open it or I know that my check was deposited.
A family friend is getting married in a very small ceremony. I didn't make the cut (nor should I have given the size of their guest list). In any case, I want to send something to acknowledge the wedding. Since there will be no registry, I'm at a loss. What do I buy, how much do I spend, when do I send the gift?
Jerry, the answer to your question is unfortunately unspecific – you buy them whatever you want at whatever price point seems right to you. Since this is a token of your affection, it can really be anything. If you know the family friend is into certain things, you can certainly aim for something that suits their interests or their taste. If you want to buy them an object, it's best to include a gift receipt just in case it doesn't fit in with their lives (or they already have one). Lastly, I think it makes sense to send it to the home of the family friend – whichever member of the bridal party (bride or groom) that you know.
I know its tradition for the Groomsmen to buy individual wedding gifts as well as a group gift. Is this the same for bridesmaids? Should the ladies as a group purchase a present for the bride and groom in addition to their own personal gift for the couple?
Question: my husbands brothers wife, a mutual friend of ours, my husbands sister and her daughter who is 21 are all going to the beach this weekend, I, however, was not invited. I have been in this family for 12 years now but we have been married almost one year. This is not the first time it has happened and it really bothers me that I am excluded, But I do consider myself to be a fairly sensitive person. So, I am here for an unbiased opinion. Should I be upset about not getting invited? I have a feeling that my husbands brothers wife does not like me very much, (I dont know why) and this just further confirms my assumptions. Thanks-Nat!

Integyrs Pty Ltd was a company I started.
It is now going into receivership. Why? As small minded people from the Australian Tax office see that it has no value.
The IP is to do with Risk, algorithmic analysis, crypto and more. I helped design the world's first on-line casino and more, but hey, they fail to understand.
So, as the IP is worth nothing, I will give them nothing.
Dave K and a few people I know from Playboy Gaming are setting up a trust. We move this overseas and we will make it work.
Bitcoin has value. It is not a hobby.
It sells for $5,000 now. Let us see just how much they cry when it is valued in 2020.

ALONE with the PAST
The Life and Photographic Art of
by Ernest R. Lawrence
Preface by Joe D. Horse Capture
"In 1907 I locked up my studio, ordered plenty of photographic material . . . and started my
long deffered [sic] campaign in portraying
the North American Indian." --ROLAND REED
Dimensions: 12" x 9", 244 pages
385 photographs, appendices,
bibliography, notes, index
ROYAL W. (ROLAND) REED, JR. (1864-1934) was one of a small number of professional photographers now known as "Pictorialists" who set out to document Native Americans, the "vanishing" race. Employing new artistic techniques and often posing their subjects, the Pictorialists re-created the "noble savage" as they imagined them to have been in the past, not as they presently found them.
Reed lived with and photographed the Ojibwe in Minnesota; the Blackfeet, Piegan, Flathead, Cheyenne, and Blood in northern Montana and southern Canada; and the Navajo and Hopi in Arizona. He had begun work on the publication of his collection with the title Reed's Photographic Art Studies of the North American Indian at the time of his accidental death. This unfinished work is the genesis for ALONE WITH THE PAST, which realizes Roland Reed's dream.
Roland Reed has been far too long in the shadow of other "Shadow Catchers." His photographs are true masterpieces of the photographic art that tell a story much larger and broader then just what is depicted.
--Paula Richardson Fleming, Smithsonian Institution
Mr. Lawrence's exhaustive search for primary documents and historic photography [has become] Reed's biography. . . . [ALONE with the PAST] comes as close to a catalogue raisonne as will be for Roland Reed.
--Sandra Starr, Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian
Although there has been much criticism of the staging of Native models, I find this argument irrelevant. Instead, I view the photographs as a rare opportunity for Native people to see a part of their culture that has passed.
--Joe Horse Capture, Associate Curator of Native American Art at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts
Library Journal
Retired businessman and amateur historian Lawrence compiles the work of pictorialist photographer Roland Reed (1864-1934)--much of it never previously seen by the public, and pairs it with the artist's own words. Lawrence uses Reed's correspondence, text from photo exhibitions, and handwritten notes to reveal the artist's motivations for photographing Native American subjects and to explain the staged quality of the photographs--and the occasionally drastic measures he took to construct the scenes. Pictorialism prioritized the evocation of emotion over realism in Reed's photography, and his comments provide insight into his artistic process and the influence of the pictorialist movement on his work. Lawrence supplies the biographical details of Reed's life, artfully punctuated by Reed's photographs of the Ojibwa, Blackfeet, Cheyenne, Flathead, Navajo, and Hopi. VERDICT An arresting look at an early 20th-century artist's portrayals of Native American life as it was in the 19th century and earlier and his manipulation of the increasingly settled landscape to produce romanticized images of Native Americans. Aficionados of Reed's contemporaries Edward Curtis and Richard Throssel and readers of Native American history will find the work of particular interest. --Rachael Dreyer, American Heritage Ctr., Laramie, WY

Google Finds Position Bidding Counter-Productive Too
Hal Varian, Google's chief economist posted some interesting findings about the relationship between position and conversion rates. Namely, that there isn't much of a relationship.
We reached that conclusion in 2003, and co-authored a stats paper on the subject in 2005.
It is funny to see the position bidding mavens jumping up and down crying foul, because this undermines the whole premise of their system. But the numbers don't lie.
It is terrifically difficult to do this research and it requires a mountain of data to reach the right conclusion. It's funny that Hal only mentions QS as a complicating factor. The much larger factor is that if the advertiser's bidding system functions properly, it bids down poor performing KW and bids up great performing KW, making the top of the page look artificially better, if you're not careful with your study.
Our research suggests it's not just conversion rates that remain constant but AOV as well, indicating that the people who click on ads behave largely the same way regardless of where the ad was on the page.
Our research also suggests that the slightly worse performing positions Hal mentions are at the top of the page and the slightly better are at the bottom of the page. We reason that some fraction of folks click the first link or two by reflex without reading the copy and are therefore more likely to be disappointed once they get there. The folks clicking on the bottom links have either picked those ads for a reason — they recognize and like the company, or liked the copy — or they've already visited the sites from higher ranked ads and didn't find what they want, so the competition has already fallen away.
In any case:
- It's pretty obvious why Google doesn't want to go on record saying position 1 converts less well than other positions — a race to the bottom would hurt them; and
- Trying to avoid position 1 really is silly. The traffic value differential is very small, much smaller than the error bars around the calculation of value for a given ad, hence immaterial to performance.
Let the value of traffic drive your bids, not the position. Position bidding both wastes money AND misses opportunities.

Maybe "mime" is not the correct term for what you were doing, but it was all I could think of. You were bringing people "out of themselves" on the stretching floor of center camp by creating silent, physical interaction using balls and other props. Your daughter (?) was also doing this. You were both very expressive and talented at this art.
I was the tall brownish/blonde, blue eyed man you interacted with right before you left center camp through the exit by the poetry reading stage. You said goodbye to a few people so I'm hoping one of them will see this. I was eager to hear the voice of and meet the person behind the charade, but you left so abruptly I did not get the chance. If you, or anyone who knows you, gets this message, please respond. I am just curious to know more about two unique and interesting people.

At the July meeting, the Lyme Town Board agreed to retain Jim Millington as the zoning and codes enforcement officer.
Many considerations came into play in making this decision, many in which most citizens may not have considered. As always, there are two sides to every story and sometimes more to consider than what appears.
I do not refute the opinions of the Watertown Daily Times editorial staff. Their synopsis is correct and their thinking understandable.
Nor do I deny the obvious improprieties that Mr. Millington has performed regarding the situation with his home. Although not the zoning officer at the time, there is no doubt the time elapsed should have been sufficient to complete the necessary paperwork.
Obviously, this should not have been neglected by him or any other inspectors who should have been involved. There is no doubt this reflects poorly on all involved.
I have addressed these concerns with him, and he understands that it is imperative that he treat every town resident fairly, equally and respectfully and he is to administer the town zoning and code laws with consistency. Mr. Millington understands he is on a short leash. He has been directed to get his paperwork in order for his house. It is my understanding that he will be working with zoning officers from the state and another municipality to achieve compliance.
What many people may not understand, and what the Town Board had to consider, is that there seems to be a different set of rules municipalities must follow if they wish to discipline or terminate an appointed employee. In some cases, civil service laws require a much stricter guideline than private regulations.
In making our decision, the town options were limited. Termination would have been difficult. To make that decision in the middle of the building season did not seem to be a prudent time. And if changes were to be made, the budget was not prepared to handle the additional expenditures that would have been requested by a replacement. Additionally, the concerns regarding the permitting process during the building of the home also came into question.
People sometimes forget that as Town Board members or appointed officials, we have to consider the best interest of everyone in the town. We must make sure we do not react inappropriately to a situation but rather proactively. It has been said that reality is blurred by perception, and perception is not always as it seems.
In 2012, the town received a little more than 210 permit requests for special uses, variances, building inspections, demolitions and seasonal mobile residency permits. In the five and a half years I have been supervisor, I can recall eight instances of complaints regarding the zoning officer.
If more people than that are complaining, they have not called or written. I have been told by the head of the State Zoning Enforcement Office that if someone does not complain about the zoning officer, he is not doing his job to protect the town.
I would assume the number of permit applications the past five years would be similar to the number of 2012. Eight complaints out of hundreds of applications does not seem quite so bad.
I believe Mr. Millington is doing the best he can with a very difficult job. There were complaints about the town zoning officers before he took the job, and Im sure there will be complaints about zoning officers who may come after him.
The Town Board has agreed to support Mr. Millington as the town of Lyme zoning and codes enforcement officer. It has been said that we learn from our mistakes. We expect he has learned a great deal from this experience. We trust in him and his knowledge of zoning and codes enforcement. We ask our residents to trust in him also.
