Is there a way to preorder a signed copy and have it sent to Stockholm, Sweden? Do you know of any place who could help me with that? Don't think one get signed ones at Amazon. Had already planned to get it for mom when you mentioned it here now.
My mom is an advanced lady with style. Not that her age has anything to do with it. She has always had advanced style :) To give her your book would be perfect.
Thanks so much for a lovely blog! And the whole idea itself - a tribute to all the loveley and strong ladies who carry themselves so beautifully through life.

Kamui is a powerful dōjutsu which originates from the Mangekyō Sharingan of Obito Uchiha. A unique and specialised form of space–time ninjutsu, it that allows the user to achieve two very distinct, yet closely associated feats – teleportation and "intangibility".
Kamui allows the user to transfer anything to another dimension. Once a target is sent to this dimension is unable to escape.[3] This technique is also able to make the user "intangible" by transporting portions of his body to the same pocket dimension.[4] Obito was able to use this technique the moment he awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan,[5] while Kakashi, who awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan at the same moment as Obito, didn't have access to it until sometime after Sasuke's defection and made first use of it in the series during Naruto and his first encounter with Deidara.
Kakashi Hatake likens the characteristics of the technique to those of Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique, but notes that it seems to be much more versatile since it requires neither seal nor a summoning tattoo to be performed.[6] The side of the eye using the technique determines the specific property of it.
Each eye uses Kamui to teleport to the other dimension, though how this is done depends on the eye. By creating a swirling, distortion centered focused on the eye, the user is able to open a void into the other dimension. This technique's effect acts as an attractive force, both visibly drawing the target inwards and distorting their form until they disappear. After absorbing targets through this process, Obito or Kakashi is able to eject them at any time of their choosing, with varying degrees of force. In doing so, Obito is able to attack using weapons of gigantic proportions and/or quantities with relative ease and at a moment's notice, giving opponents little opportunity to react accordingly.[7]
Another unique trait of Kamui is that it allows the user to teleport himself to any location they desire, during which time their chakra becomes untraceable.[6] By his own admission, Obito is capable of finding anyone and teleport to their location regardless of where they are.[8] When Obito uses Kamui to teleport himself, whatever he is touching will be warped with him, a trait that saved Konan's life when she attempted to blow herself up with Obito, when she covered herself with exploding tags. Obito teleported to safety, but as he was touching Konan at the time, saved her as well. Despite not always being present, Obito can keep his targets under genjutsu while they are confined inside this pocket dimension and thus, keep them incapacitated for extended durations.[9]
Left Eye
The left eye's primary use of Kamui is based on line of sight and as such does not require physical contact to warp a target into the other dimension. By focusing a barrier space and concentrating on that target, Kamui will distort space and the target will be drawn into other dimension. When Kakashi first used this technique, it required great concentration and was difficult to aim, dragging in only Deidara's arm when he aimed for his head. By The Invasion of Pain, Kakashi was able to use Kamui to stop a speeding nail from penetrating his head, and later during the Fourth Shinobi World War could warp Gyūki, the Eight-Tails quickly and warp it and himself back to the real world.[10]
Right Eye
The unique trait of this eye is the ability of intangibility. Obito renders his body intangible which allows him to phase through attacks and solid objects. By seamlessly warping parts of his body to the other dimension, Obito can dodge most attacks, and by overlapping his entire body into large objects, such as the ground, he can not only conceal himself from view, but erase all traces of his chakra. Obito often exploits this characteristic to ambush his opponents from below.[11] Though he is unable to establish any physical contact while being intangible, Obito can still use chakra chains.[12] He also seemingly possesses the capability to extend this intangibility to whatever he's touching at the moment of activation,[13] as long as he is able to maintain some form of contact with at least a part of the desired item or person.[14]
Since this technique is shared by two different users of the same pair of eyes, both parties can use their own technique to counter the effectiveness of the other, thus making it useless to use against one another directly.[15] Obito can extend this negation to targets outside of his own body, as he negated Kakashi's attempt to decapitate the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's head.[16] Similarly, Kakashi was able to escape Obito's attempt to trap him in the other dimension.[17]
Left Eye
The Mangekyō Sharingan is a dōjutsu that, with continuous usage, burdens the user with the loss of their eyesight. Since this is the source of Kamui, using it in rapid succession puts Kakashi's body at risk as well. As his Sharingan was transplanted, usage of this technique poses an even greater risk to Kakashi. Similar to Amaterasu, repeated use of the technique puts a great deal of strain on the user, causing his left eye to bleed if overused.[18]
Kakashi is able to use this technique up to at least three times in a given day, even when starting at full strength. At first Kakashi's aim and control over the size of the barrier was imperfect. Over time his aim and control improved, as he was able to accurately warp away small and fast moving objects, such as a nail.[19] Kakashi is even able to consecutively warp away two fast-moving arrows.[20] He also became able to use this technique several more times in a single day.
Right Eye
In Obito's case, the primary weakness of this technique is that both aspects cannot be used concurrently, as he must become and remain tangible in order to transport himself or others, providing a small opportunity in which he is unable to pass through objects and thus, is vulnerable to injury. This deficiency means that he must also materialise when ejecting stored items as well, presenting the same vulnerability.[21] According to Konan, Obito can only maintain his intangibility for approximately five consecutive minutes at a time, after which he is presumably rendered completely solid for a duration. She also reveals that the time it takes him to absorb something is proportional to its mass, and that it takes longer to absorb himself than another person or object.[22]
Additionally, due to the nature of Obito's intangibility, the sections of his body residing in the other dimension can still interact normally with other objects that are also contained within this dimension, meaning they can be damaged by such items. As this technique originates from Obito Uchiha's Sharingan, of which both Kakashi and Obito possess one of, the two share the same dimension when teleporting objects, a characteristic that Kakashi exploited to injure Obito on multiple occasions during the Fourth Shinobi World War.[23]
Unlike Kakashi or any Mangekyō Sharingan users, Obito's extensively continuous usage of the Kamui technique does not seem to tire him at the very least, nor even cause his eyesight to deteriorate.
Kamui is the word for a divine being in Ainu mythology, although it is almost never written with kanji in modern times. In a more general Japanese context, Kamui refers to the might and majesty of the gods, particularly the Shintō Kami.
- The Third Databook seems to hint that other Mangekyō Sharingan users can access the technique through sheer training of the eye, though this is unconfirmed.[1]

Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Early Ventilator-associated Pneumonia in Neurological Patients (NAVPRO)

- How to Read a Study Record
This study seeks to assess whether coma patients really benefit from the use of antibiotics as a prophylactic for reducing the incidence of early ventilator-associated pneumonia in this population group. For this we consider the use of ampicillin sulbactam antibiotic which has a low ability to induce resistance, efficacy and safety observed during the time that has been used, even in patients with neurosurgical pathology, and to be broadly available in our environment.
Our hypothesis is that neurological patients in coma state, requiring mechanical ventilation, the application of antibiotic prophylaxis compared with placebo reduces the incidence of early ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Ventilator Associated Pneumonia
Drug: Sultamicillin
Drug: Physiologic Sodium Chloride Solution as placebo
Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Prevention
|Official Title:
|Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Early Ventilator-associated Pneumonia in Neurological Patients: A Randomized Trial
- Impact of prophylaxis with ampicillin sulbactam versus placebo on the incidence of early ventilator-associated pneumonia [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To determine the impact of prophylaxis with ampicillin sulbactam versus placebo on the incidence of early ventilator-associated pneumonia in patients with altered level of consciousness with a score on the Glasgow Coma Scale less than or equal to 8 and requiring mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours
- Effect of antibiotic prophylaxis versus placebo on the incidence of other infections [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Compare the effect of antibiotic prophylaxis versus placebo on the incidence of later ventilator-associated pneumonia, as well as in other non-pulmonary infections (catheter sepsis, bacteremia, meningitis, urinary tract infection).
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Assigned Interventions
|Experimental: Sultamicillin, Antibiotic Prophylaxis
Drug: Sultamicillin
Ampoules per 1.5 grams, three grams intravenously every 6 hours for 4 doses diluted in physiologic Sodium Chloride Solution

|Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Drug: Physiologic Sodium Chloride Solution as placebo
Physiologic Sodium Chloride Solution in the same presentation, appearance and amount of sultamicillin dilution every 6 hours for 4 doses.

Detailed Description:
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most common nosocomial infections occur in intensive care units, with frequencies ranging between 15% and 45%, which determine an attributable mortality of 25% to 27%
Patients with compromised state of consciousness brought to mechanical ventilation, have a much higher reported incidence that patients without neurological involvement, reaches between 44 and 70%.
These data have led to plan the implementation of strategies to reduce the incidence of early pneumonia in this population group, to thereby favorably influence the high rates of mortality, morbidity and costs that arise.
Then we design this study to assess whether these patients really benefit from the use of antibiotics as a prophylactic, considering also the high impact that this would have given the high incidence of early ventilator-associated pneumonia in this population group.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- All patients admitted to intensive care units,with score in the Glasgow Coma scale less than nine.
- Requiring mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours
- Includes all patients with structural or metabolic coma
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant women
- History of allergic reactions to ampicillin sulbactam
- Patients admitted as potential organ donors
- Patients with an indication of antibiotic therapy, or who have received more than 2 doses of any antibiotic previously.
- Hospital stay for more than 48 hours before intubation.

Enabling/Disabling Line Numbers in Vim
This will display line numbers along the left side of a window:
:set number
:set nu
This will turn off the line number display:
:set nonumber
:set nonu
:set nu!
Creating a Mapping to Toggle Line Numbers
You can also define a mapping to toggle the option, for example:
:nmap <C-N><C-N> :set invnumber<CR>
By pressing Ctrl-N twice in normal mode, Vim toggles between showing and hiding line numbers.
Enabling Line Numbers on Startup
To enable line numbers on startup, simply add the following to your .vimrc
set number
set nu
Adding Line Numbers Only to Certain Files
Create a filetype plugin for each filetype where you'd like to have numbering enabled (see :help ftplugin-overrule) and add the following line to it:
setl number
Changing Gutter Column Width
If you have Vim version 7 or greater, you can change the width of the "gutter" column used for numbering:
:set numberwidth=3
You can use the number column for the text of wrapped lines:
:set cpoptions+=n
Finally, you can change the color used for the line numbers. For example:
:highlight LineNr term=bold cterm=NONE ctermfg=DarkGrey ctermbg=NONE gui=NONE guifg=DarkGrey guibg=NONE
Relative line numbers
For some commands, it is easier to know how many lines a give bit of text is, relative to the current cursor position. For example, moving with
j and
k with a count like
5j; or deleting 8 lines with
8dd can be easier if you have an at-a-glance view of distance from the cursor line instead of distance from the top of the file as with
set number.
To display line numbers relative to the line with the cursor, use:
:set relativenumber
'relativenumber' is not a complete replacement for 'number'; rather, these two options interact so that you can show only relative numbers (
number off and
relativenumber on), only absolute line numbers (
relativenumber off and
number on), or show the absolute number on the cursor line and relative numbers everywhere else (both
relativenumber and
number on).
- :help 'number'
- :help 'numberwidth' (Vim 7 and greater only)
- :help 'relativenumber' (Vim 7.3 and greater only)
- :help :highlight

Stilettos At 88
I met Elaine at an art fair in Fort Lauderdale this weekend, and she told me that at 88, her job is to have fun. Elaine's friends told me that she was wearing her "walking heels" and that she usually wears 6 or 7 inch stilettos. My mom and I are heading back to New York tomorrow where we will team up and photo hunt together. Hope everyone is having a great start to 2011.

How nice to see someone wearing stilettos at an advanced age. There is hope! I'm keeping all mine- well into old age. :)
Elaine has on the most gorgeous shades of turquoise. Love seeing that! Makes me miss those frequent trips to FL.
Safe travels!

Drupal Development Jump Start
Are you a web developer who is new to Drupal? Or maybe you've built some Drupal sites, but you haven't known how to approach the code? The sheer size of Drupal can be very intimidating - and there is no manual. So discovering best practices and how to approach the many requirements of modern websites can take many years of experience.
This webinar will slice right through all levels of a typical requirement on a Drupal website, answering the following questions:
- How do I go about searching for solutions to a problem?
- How do I install modules? Where would I look to configure them?
- When do I need to write code and where do I start?
Your team of three very experienced Drupal trainers and consultants will walk you through building a simple editorial workflow by:
- Researching existing modules and solutions
- Configuring commonly used modules to provide a first cut
- Diving in to the code to customize the experience.

This oversize red, white, and blue cobbler is designed to feed a Fourth of July party crowd. Crystallized ginger adds a little zing to a standard cobbler topping. Although this is a classic summer cobbler, it can be made successfully out of season with frozen berries (no need to thaw). The recipe is easily cut in half; bake it in a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate for forty to forty-five minutes. Crystallized ginger is fresh ginger that has been dried and preserved in sugar. Good-quality crystallized ginger should not be fibrous, and it should be moist and tasty enough to eat out of the bag.
In a large bowl, toss together the blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, granulated sugar, salt, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Transfer to a 10 by 14-inch rectangular, ceramic baking dish.
Set the oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and crystallized ginger.
Working quickly so as not to warm the butter, work the butter into the flour mixture with your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add 6 Tbs. of the buttermilk and fold with a rubber scraper or your hands until the buttermilk has been absorbed and there are no dry patches. Add the remaining 2 Tbs. of buttermilk as necessary (you won't use all of it; reserve what's left for brushing the dough). The dough should be dry enough to hold a shape when you cut it out.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. With lightly floured hands, pat the dough to about 3/4 inch thick. Cut out twelve stars with a 3-3/8-inch (measuring point to point) star cookie cutter and place them in a single layer on top of the fruit. Brush the stars with the reserved buttermilk, and sprinkle each with 1/4 tsp. of sanding sugar. Bake, rotating the baking sheet two-thirds of the way through the baking time, until the biscuit topping is lightly browned and cooked through, 60 to 65 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

text: Of French origin, this type of casserole was originally intended for cooking and serving dishes made from local game and fowl. Its elaborate handle identified the delectable meat within; in this case, duck. Today, the oval baking dish performs well for all sorts of casseroles as well as baked vegetables and side dishes. You can also use it for a pâté or terrine. The high-fired porcelain travels beautifully from oven to table and is also safe in the freezer and dishwasher. 1 1/4-qt. cap., 8 1/2" x 6 1/2" x 7" high. Made in France.

This pourer has an enhanced fliptop seal, which closes the spout to protect open bottles from impurities in the air. When pouring, the bottle tilts the top open to let a smooth stream of liquor fill the glass.
