I am dynamically creating a join between a GeoFeatureLayer and an external ITable derived from a SQL query and opened with OpenQueryClass(). It works. Now if I could only delete the Join!? But even worse than that: when I re-enter the code that creates a new join (after I run some code that seems to remove the existing joined fields from the GeoFeatureLayer) it fails to create the ITable the 2nd time because "The FeatureClass already exists." So it appears that not only must I reset the GeoFeatureLayer I must also remove the named ITable. Is this correct? If so, how?
Since the ITable must be created outside of a ComReleaser (and kept alive I presume while the in-memory join is active!) I discovered that the following code actually does release the 'named' table and thus allows me to use the same 'name' again so the renderer or annotations created when the original join was made continue to work with the updated join.
As I read the help, DestinationTable is not required (but it didn't work correctly every time unless I included it!)

Annika Sorenstam, as part of CVS Caremark Charity Classic's charitable mission and in conjunction with Veterans Day on Monday, hosted a golf clinic for former members of the military earlier this month at her Annika Academy in Reunion, Fla.
"I appreciate what some of these wounded warriors have done, how they represent us, and the things they have gone through," Sorenstam, who participated in a similar clinic two years ago in New York, said in a recent phone interview. "You see the impact golf can have on these people's lives and it was just a natural thing to help out because I appreciate what they do and this is how I can say thank you and give back."
The November 1 program, part of a series in partnership with Golf For All, a nonprofit organization that offers such clinics to vets with physical, emotional, and cognitive challenges, also featured Massachusetts PGA teaching pro Bob Beach. The long-time head pro at Braintree Municipal Golf Course recently received this year's PGA of America's Patriot Award for the PGA professional who demonstrates constant dedication to the women and men who have served in the U.S. armed forces.
"Today is my 73rd free clinic for veterans at eight different golf courses this year," Beach, who has been on the job at the Boston-area track since 1991, told us about his day working with LPGA Hall of Famer Sorenstam. "I have a real passion for it. I love doing it."
Beach teaches his students how to relax while swinging the club. He is also an ardent advocate of camaraderie among veterans.
"To get back with military personnel they served with, on a beautiful place, on a golf course, they have a few laughs, hit a few good shots," Beach said. "It's what golf's all about."
With sunshine and temperatures expected to hit 50 on Monday (not bad for mid-November in New England), Beach would like to invite veterans to celebrate their day at Braintree -- which offers the SoloRider golf cart that's adapted to meet the needs of golfers with diminished mobility and stamina -- with free rounds of golf in the morning and lessons in the afternoon, between 2 p.m.-4 p.m.
"It's a little late in the year, November 11," noted Beach, who welcomed 61 veterans and gave 23 lessons the first year his course hosted former military members. "But sometimes they can have a nice day and it's just great having the vets."
Sorenstam is one of several pro golfers, including PGA Tour player Billy Horschel and LPGA star Juli Inkster, who participated in the Rhode Island-based 2013 Charity Classic who are also headlining clinics for veterans. Golf For All is a program of the Northeast Accessible Golf Association, which runs year-round programs for vets and other persons with different abilities.

Signing up
Is there a reason all the pages in this category are protected?
- I have noticed that there is a tendency for DH employees to build wiki articles and then immediately protect them. I am not sure why this is the case. Some articles are protected because of repeated spamming, but the articles you are referring to do not seem to need protection. I will unprotect the pages in that category so that you can work on them. -- Scjessey 05:39, 14 Jul 2006 (PDT)
- Thank ye kindly; I'm not used to encountering randomly-protected pages on wikis, particularly ones in considerable need of copyediting. I'll let you know if I encounter any similar articles. --Emufarmers 05:42, 14 Jul 2006 (PDT)
- I believe at least some articles created in this way are considered still "under construction" by their editors and they will release the protection when they're done with it. Personally I believe the better solution is to tag it with an "in progress" template and leave it open to changes, after all, we do have a history that can be reverted to if necessary! -- Sabrejack 10:14, 14 Jul 2006 (PDT)
- Thank ye kindly; I'm not used to encountering randomly-protected pages on wikis, particularly ones in considerable need of copyediting. I'll let you know if I encounter any similar articles. --Emufarmers 05:42, 14 Jul 2006 (PDT)
Why is my account still pending?
That article seems to indicate that approvals should be completed within three hours; the panel itself is telling me that I should be approved within one business day. I realize you don't work for DreamHost, but you seem to know what's what; was that article written before the current system of approval was implemented, is it a personal estimate, or is it just wrong?
- I know that DreamHost has been suffering recently from cases of fraud. This usually revolves around credit cards, but it is sometimes related to PayPal. I imagine they have increased the approval time to give them a better opportunity to catch incidents of fraud. If you haven't received approval within 24 hours, I recommend using the panel to contact support. -- Scjessey 06:13, 14 Jul 2006 (PDT)
Concerning spambots
Thank you for the advice about spambots. I already switched to using "indefinite" as you suggested to Sabrejack, but I have no other powers beyond that because I am just a sysop. I can ban, rollback (one at a time), delete, restore, protect, and unprotect - and that's about it. I actually requested that you be given an administrator status (since you know more about what you are doing), but the powers that be didn't agree with me at the time. To my knowledge, I am the only regular DH customer with any kind of admin ability - all the other admins are DH employees. -- Scjessey 07:21, 19 Nov 2006 (PST)
Regarding the "superfluousness" of Telnet: some people may have heard of Telnet, but not of SSH. My last web host offered Telnet and had to be badgered into converting to SSH. -- Scjessey 16:29, 19 Jan 2007 (PST)
- In a lengthly article, having a "see also" section with links that are already in the body of the article is acceptable, but for a two-sentence stub, it is unneeded. (The section wasn't added properly, so I could either fix it or remove it, and decided the latter option made more sense.) --Emufarmers 18:19, 19 Jan 2007 (PST)
GPL discussion
There's a bit of a disagreement brewing between 0-0 and Sam Bauers over licensing. Frankly, I know very little about such things and I'm way out of my depth. Can you keep an eye on this for me? -- Scjessey 16:40, 22 Jan 2007 (PST)
Wiki version
wiki has been updated to 1.6.9
- You can thank Aaron btw! He's the one that got it done. --Sabrejack 15:27, 16 March 2007 (PDT)
You've been absent for several months, so as a security precaution, I'm removing your volunteer sysop status. We really appreciate the time and effort you spent helping us grow this wiki in its early period. If you ever return, please let me know. --Sabrejack 11:05, 2 November 2007 (PDT)

A second helping of blood and passion ... Acclaimed dark fantasist Poppy Z. Brite's previous excursion into the nightmare realm of terrifying sensuality offered readers a sumptuous blood feast of unspeakable pleasures. Now she has done it again, serving up more provocative tales from some of the most inventive and accomplished writers in the field -- an unabashed exploration of shadow places and terrible hungers that's more dangerously seductive, more boldly erotic than the first. If you found Love in Vein disturbingly dark, unsettlingly seductive, and deliciously carnal -- you're going to adore Twice Bitten: Love in Vein II. But be warned. It may be more than you can handle. It may open doors into the darkest corners of your unspoken fears. And it may be exactly what you've been secretly lusting for.

One of the most pressing, but less obvious problems created by a disaster of the magnitude of Hurricane Katrina is the rise of mental health issues. Mental health consequences, such as post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, run deep and linger for months, sometimes years, after a disaster, varying in intensity and duration based upon the individual. Operation USA's long-term commitment to an ongoing relief effort has been largely focused in this area.
The Children's Bureau of New Orleans (CBNO) was founded in 1892 to provide specialized programs for children and families in the greater New Orleans area, with an emphasis on mental health, child welfare and advocacy. The devastation wrought by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita was particularly acute for the children of New Orleans. CBNO has been a local leader in providing mental health care for children and families in low socio-economic status with pre-existing problems that were exacerbated by the devastation.

Reese Witherspoon Reportedly Pregnant With Third Child
Reese Witherspoon is pregnant with her third child, reports Us Weekly in its cover story.
According to a source for the magazine, the actress who wed agent Jim Toth last March, "is right around 12 weeks," but is "not planning to announce it" quite yet.
Just two weeks ago, Witherspoon's then rep emphatically told Gossip Cop that pregnancy rumors were "NOT TRUE."
Often, people prefer not to make baby announcements until the end of the first trimester.
Gossip Cop has reached out to reps for Witherspoon again, and is waiting for confirmation.
Witherspoon has two children, Ava and Deacon, from her previous marriage to Ryan Phillippe.

I would like to figure out in my
.bashrc (or one of the files it sources) whether Vim has the
-p option available and if so create an alias.
Now, that same
.bashrc is used on numerous systems including some ancient ones where Vim still doesn't know the
-p option.
What I need is a way to check for the availability of the option without actually starting up Vim ...
vim -p || echo "Not available"
... where instead of the echo I do something else came to mind, but unfortunately that only works when the
-p option is not available. When it is available, this will actually start up Vim, which is what I want to avoid.
I've experimented with opening
/dev/null and
/dev/zero to no avail ...

Please Don't Tell My Boyfriend 4
He loves watching porn movies, and I do too, but I`m sure he wouldn`t like seeing me in one. But after watching so many with him while sucking his dick, I thought I`d like to try doing a scene sometime. So I answered an ad in the newspaper and went to the studio to audition. before I knew it, I had a dick in my mouth, and then in my pussy, and I was loving every inch! But please don`t tell my boyfriend, I don`t think he could handle it!

The study that shows that nagging can lead to an early grave is making headlines in the UK.
A headline in The Independent read, "Nagging could drive men to an early grave, study suggests."
The study shows that naggers could ultimately cause an early death for the person being nagged.
This recent study was conducted in Copenhagen, Denmark. The results showed that people with stressful relationships are as much as two or three times more likely to die prematurely and that men are most at risk.
The research paper was published in the Journal of Epidemiol Community Health.
The University of Copenhagen report found that men are more affected by stress because many of the tendency of some men to keep their feelings bottled up more than women. Women tend to be more vocal immediately when things upset them.
The researchers found that 315 extra deaths per 100,000 people could be caused by stressful relationships, including demands from their partners, The Telegraph reported. The study found that women may be more immune to the effect of nagging, the report concluded that there was little effect on their death rates.
The Telegraph reports that researchers found that 315 extra deaths per 100,000 people each year could be blamed on stressful relationships, including nagging demands from partners.
The researchers questioned 9,875 men and women, whose ages ranged from 36-52, questions about their relationships, the Independent reported. Then the Danish researchers followed up with those same subjects 11 years later. A total of 4 percent of the women and 6 percent of the men they had interviewed 11 years earlier had died.
The scientists then took it one step beyond They analyzed the link between the deaths and arguments and worries the individuals had in their relationships.
The results were amazing. People who had frequent nagging demands from partners and frequent demands from partners had 50-100% increased mortality risk.
Researchers noted that stress increases the risk of heart disease and stroke and encourages poor habits such as eating junk food or not getting enough exercise.
This study's results showing an impact on stress and mortality had been backed by many previous studies.
An Israeli study conducted by Tel Aviv University study in 2006 found that stressed workers were almost twice as likely to develop Type 2 diabetes, LiveScience reports.

What's the best way to clean a DVD?
After having tried everything else, I could restore a DVD to a working state with Brasso metal polish.
You apply it in circles from the center of the DVD to the edges and let it rest for a few minutes. After a while remove with a soft cloth and most scratches should be gone.
It may sound crazy, but you can clean and remove minor scratches with a banana. I've used this technique, and it does work.
You can get special fluids for this and a whole host of items to do the job, but in reality a t-shirt has served me well for years :)
as a small aside, clean it inwards to outwards, not in circles as it would grind any debris in the directions of the tracks.
... fixing scratches is anouther issue completely.
Dip a soft cloth in Isopropyl Alcohol/Ethanol/Methanol and gently wipe the surface.Always wipe the disc surface in a non-radial back-and-forth motion (from the center hole to the outer edge).

On today's edition of Black and Gold Today, sports reporter Rachel Whittaker and Saints beat writer Evan Woodbery analyze the receivers' contributions, especially Joe Morgan, who is fighting his way back from a torn ACL that kept him out all of the 2013 season.
Also, there's no further update on safety Jairus Byrd's participation. When will he get to team drills? What about that third preseason game? Tune in Tuesday for more from Saints camp, plus another Saints trivia challenge.

Good lists of stocks are a powerful tool because they are both informative and digestible. And there are fewer lists more iconic than the Fortune 500 ranking of U.S. corporations by total revenue.
The latest grouping is fresh off the presses, and unsurprisingly features regular favorites near the top — Walmart (NYSE:WMT), Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), just to name a few. But what's interesting about the list is how it has changed over the years, with a certain group of companies climbing steadily and others falling by the wayside.
Here's what the latest Fortune 500 rankings say about the U.S. economy and stock market:
Energy Is Rock Solid: Three of the top four stocks are in the oil business — Exxon, Chevron (NYSE:CVX) and Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX). Though demand has been soft globally, it has been constant. And even though crude oil prices have been rangebound between $80 and $110 for years, that hasn't unseated these dominant energy players.
Healthcare Rising: While nothing is certain in life, getting old and seeing your body break down certainly is. And the demographic impact of the baby boomers continues to fuel healthcare stocks, providing reliable revenue to entrenched players like CVS Caremark (NYSE:CVS), McKesson (NYSE:MCK), UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH) and Cardinal Health (NYSE:CAH). All four of these giants top $100 billion in annual revenue and make the top 20 — and all four have stayed steady or improved their rank on the Fortune 500 list over last year.
Financials Still Struggle: Financial companies are crucial to the American economy. Those engaging in banking, insurance or capital markets make up 12 of the top 44 spots on the Fortune 500. However, many continue to struggle to get their swagger back even half a decade removed from the mortgage meltdown. Consider that Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) slipped from No. 13 to No. 21, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) fell from No. 16 to No. 18 and Citigroup (NYSE:C) dropped from No. 20 to No. 26. Considering the much better balance sheets and improved mortgage lending in the last year or so, this is noteworthy.
Of course, revenue is the top line, but the bottom line is in many ways much more important to investors. Consider that the No. 2 stock on the list, Exxon, is up just 7% in the last year, delivering less than half the profits of the S&P 500 in the same period. Clearly sales aren't everything.
However, it's important to know where the money is going and try to plot trends for how consumers and businesses are spending.

There's no denying it; I'm married to my Samsung Galaxy S3, at least until the contract expires. Unlike a real marriage, I can get out of this after the 2 year contract. It's like a marriage that lasts for 2 years and then each party has the opportunity to renew their vows. You can get a divorce, but just like a real divorce where there are lawyer fees and a settlement, you have to pay an early-termination fee. That's what you get for terminating the marriage to your phone.
Do you know what messed up my relationship with my S3? Verizon demos, that's what. I was fine, I had just gotten a new S3...then my writing career...oh, that's what it was...I let my writing career become more important than my relationship. I always said the Verizon demos would be business, all business. But I really let the Verizon phones work me over, boy.

Chikungunya continues to spread in the Caribbean, and in Central and South America. By far, the worst of the outbreak of the mosquito borne illness has been on the island of Hispaniola, in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Americans living and working in those countries have contracted the disease and are now reporting continuing symptoms or a relapse of symptoms. Dr. Jen Halverson spoke with the Examiner on Twitter July 2 about her experience.
Halverson first experienced the symptoms of chikungunya on May 13. Her illness was confirmed by blood tests, antibody and PCR, done on May 19. It has been seven weeks since she first became ill.
Dr. Halverson caught chikungunya while volunteering in Haiti. She returned to the United States on May 18. In mid-June she was the subject of several news stories in the Minnesota media describing her illness and recovery.
It has not been much of a recovery. She wakes up limping every day. In the last several days, Halverson states, her fingers, wrists and one shoulder have been painful for the first time in weeks.
The doctor is not alone with suffering painful aftereffects from chikungunya. On Twitter, a number of Americans in Haiti and the Dominican Republic are talking about continuing symptoms or a relapse of symptoms weeks after recovering from the initial illness.
One man became ill with chikungunya on May 30. The following day, he tweeted "Have the Chikungunya virus & have never been this sick with fever & joint pains." On June 1, he wrote "Have had malaria 18 times , twice this year, but this virus make malaria seem like the sniffles." Today, in response to a question from the Examiner, he said "No relapse, but symptoms every day: lots joint pains and fever at night."
A human rights activist in Haiti contracted chikungunya on May 16 and had recovered enough to return to work by May 22. Seven weeks later, she is having continuing joint pain and swelling.
One young woman, who asked that she be called GOALS after her employer in Haiti, tweeted her illness. Her first chikungunya symptoms began May 19. On June 2, she was able to tweet: "I hate to say it outloud, but it looks like my extreme tiredness from chikungunya is finally gone... I feel GREAT today! Watch out world!" July 2, she reported a relapse of symptoms "just had fever/pain again yesterday/Monday. Came out of nowhere."
The Institut Pasteur says this about the long-term effects of chikungunya:
The clinical symptoms of chikungunya usually disappear relatively quickly – patients tend to recover from the fever and rashes associated with the disease within a few days, but joint problems can persist for several weeks. Infection by the chikungunya virus does not seem to have been the direct cause of the small number of fatalities recorded during epidemics.
Joint pain can persist in subacute or chronic form for several months or even years, particularly in older patients. In a retrospective South African study, 10% of patients were still affected 3 to 5 years after acute infection by the chikungunya virus.
A study of a small number of patients who had been ill with chikungunya and recovered was published in 2013. Among their conclusions were:
We found that 60% of patients experienced arthralgia 36 months after the onset of acute disease. Arthralgia affected most often multiple sites and were usually incapacitating. In addition to arthralgia, many patients suffered from myalgia and cutaneous lesions and several cognitive dysfunctions. We also showed that age over 35 years and the presence of arthralgia 4 months after the onset of disease are risk factors for long-term arthralgia. Patients with long-term arthralgia did not display biological markers typically found in autoimmune or rheumatoid diseases.
A larger study, also published in 2013, found that just 25 percent of patients who had rheumatic musculoskeletal pain during their chikungunya illness were symptom free two years after the end of their acute infection. Lingering pain was reported by 43 percent of the patients and relapsing episodes of pain by 32 percent. The study identified several predictors for continuing pain symptoms, including a patient age of 45 or older and severe pain during the acute illness.
In the tweets about continuing pain, there are comments about the difficulty of packing a suitcase, opening a bottle of Coke or being able to roll up the window in a pickup truck. Dr. Halverson notes that for the people of Haiti, post-chikV arthritis presents a much different and far more serious problem.
I think about a whole nation of people (many of whom do manual labor for a living) dealing with chronic arthritis. And I think about people carrying 5 gallon buckets of water on their head while dealing with post-chikV joint pain.
We have it pretty good here in the U.S. but for the average Haitian, this post-chikV arthritis could be quite debilitating. & by having it good, I mean access to pain meds, little to no manual labor, etc. Situation for average Haitian is very diff.

West Coast underground emcee Murs and Strange Music's Mayday clan have joined forces for the first time, releasing their cool, refreshing joint album, Mursday. Both camps keep things light and joyous and don't take themselves too seriously, even when venting about their personal struggles. This mood is especially supported by the upbeat production that fosters an almost party-like atmosphere. Murs and Mayday truly bust loose in their raps about stardom, success, change, the ladies, and what might be rap music's first mention of the new Bitcoin currency. Each man's contribution blends well with the next in this cohesive album that is one part mellow and two parts buoyant.

College Hockey:Iona Rallies For Draw With Sacred Heart
Williams' PPG Is Tying Score
NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. — Brent Williams' power-play goal late in the third period erased a 3-2 deficit as Iona and Sacred Heart skated to a 3-3 tie — thus allowing the Gaels to salvage a point out of the home-and-home series with the Pioneers.
"It's a tough situation. Being 4-10 in the MAAC and coming into this game, it was a must-win situation," Iona winger Chad Nordhagen said. "Coming out of here and battling back from 3-1 down to tie it up is a great point for us. We're happy, but we're not satisfied because we didn't win. Still, I think it took a little weight off our shoulders."
Iona coach Frank Bretti concurred with Nordhagen's appraisal of the game.
"There was pressure because we needed some points, but as important as the points are, the process of trying to find [our game] was more important than the point tonight," he said. "I am happy with the result, not for the point and standings, but more for the mental psyche of our team. We have been fighting some tough circumstances lately. I was really proud that our players had no quit in them."
While relief might describe Iona's reaction to the game, disappointment is the word that described Sacred Heart's mood after failing to hold a one-goal lead heading into the third period.
"We are not happy with three points at all this weekend," Sacred Heart coach Shaun Hannah said. "We went in and our goal was to get four points — we didn't get it and we are disappointed. I give Iona a lot of credit [because] they really battled back hard tonight and battled right to the end and steal a point."
The two teams seemed poised to play a scoreless first period until Sacred Heart struck for a pair of late goals. Mike Reagan scored the first of his two goals on the night when he beat Iona goaltender Mike Fraser on a rebound try at 15:26. Martin Paquet and Garrett Larson drew the assists on the power-play goal.
Iona's penalty killing, once a strength of the team, continued to struggle. Reagan's power-play marker was the seventh in 15 chances allowed by the Gaels.
The Pioneers doubled their lead less than three minutes later. They took advantage of an Iona turnover in the defensive zone as Rocco Molinaro scored his fourth goal of the season with a shot from the slot at 18:12. Paquet and Marc-Andre Fournier assisted on the goal. Paquet ended the weekend series with a goal and four assists.
The Gaels finally solved the mystery of Eddy Ferhi early in the second period as they capitalized on a delayed penalty call. Mark Hallam's pass found Jamie Carroll in front and the freshman winger redirected the pass between Ferhi's pads for his sixth goal at 4:30. Tim Krueckl, who drew the penalty, picked up the secondary assist.
The goal not only cut the lead in half, it also ended Iona's season-high scoring drought that had reached 164:10.
Sacred Heart regained their two-goal lead at 13:10 when Iona was unable to clear the zone after a faceoff in its own end. Reagan made it 3-1 with a wrist shot from the high slot. Peter Giatrelis and Brad NcFaul assisted on Reagan's fourth of the season.
Reagan admitted that his two goals were tempered by the team's missed opportunity for the weekend sweep as the D-word came up yet again.
"I think we let down. We had them down 2-0 and it's been the same story all year where we let teams back into games and it's really disappointing," the Flin Flon, Manitoba, native explained.
"I think we are not playing desperate enough. It comes down to the second part of the year; we are getting [closer] to the playoffs here, and we are not focused when we have a lead and not bearing down on our chances."
Indeed, the Gaels battled back to cut the lead in half a little more than two minutes after Reagan's second of the night. Nordhagen scored his first goal of the season with a wrist shot from the right faceoff dot that beat Ferhi high to the near post. Freshmen Andrew McShea and Chris Connerty were credited with the assists.
If the point took some weight off the Gaels' shoulders, getting his first of the season took some off the native of Thief River Falls, Minnesota.
"Tell me about it. I've just been more frustrated [this season] than I ever have been in my life. Finally getting my first one really lifted the weight off my shoulders — hopefully they can keep coming for the rest of the year."
Bretti surprised everyone by pulling Fraser in favor of Ian Vigier to start the third period.
"It was a tough call because I have a great deal of respect for Mike," explained Bretti. "Under the circumstances, we took a little bit of a gamble but we needed to put ourselves in the best position to win the game."
While Iona would not go on to win, it did eventually draw even by cashing in on its sixth power-play opportunity of the game — five seconds after it started. Williams won the ensuing faceoff to the right of Ferhi. Kelly Bararuk got the puck back to the left point to Chad Van Diemen. Ferhi stopped the freshman blueliner's shot, but Williams pounced on the rebound for his sixth of the season at 15:31
The teams each had chances to win the game in overtime as Vigier stopped Paquet with three minutes left to play and the Gaels were unable to capitalize on their seventh power play a minute later.
Sacred Heart (7-8-3, 7-5-3 MAAC) hosts Quinnipiac in the front end of a home-and-home series on January 31 while Iona (4-17-2, 4-10-1 MAAC) visits American International as the two schools play a home-and home series of their own.

The University of Texas Health Center at Tyler :: Dr. Mom
- Barbara Huggins is Dr. Mom
- Dr. Barbara Huggins is the Professor of Pediatrics and she understands the concerns and needs of families - from parents of infants to grandparents of many - as they seek healthy lifestyles for themselves and each other.
Pediatric Patient Safety
Thursday, March 6, 2008
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This has never been truer than in the area of medical safety. To highlight National Patient Safety Awareness Week, UT Health Center's Dr. Mom offers a few ideas on how to protect the youngest of patients when they have to be in the hospital.
Medical errors can occur at anytime during a hospitalization, a visit to the doctor's office, or to the pharmacy. The National Patient Safety Awareness Week is highlighted to help you prevent medical errors, especially in children. Being in the hospital is not a pleasant experience for adults, and from the eyes of a child, can be a very frightening experience.
As a parent, guardian, or caregiver, it is up to you to keep your child safe from medical error while he or she is hospitalized.The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality makes the following recommendations to help prevent medical errors in children:
- Be an active member of your child's health care team.
- List all medications your child is taking including over the counter medicines and give this list to your child's physician.
- Inform your doctor of any allergies your child has, as well as any reactions to medicines.
- Make sure you can read the prescription that is written for your child
- Make sure all health care workers wash their hands before attending to your child. Do not be embarrassed or too shy to ask health care workers to wash their hands.
- If your child is having surgery, make sure your child's physician and the surgeon all agree on exactly what will be done.
- About your child's condition and treatments
- What is supposed to happen
- Why a test or procedure is being done
- When test or lab results will be available
- The physician and/or pharmacist for information on medicines that are prescribed or given to your child; how they should be administered; any side effects
- A family member or friend to be with you to help be an advocate for your child
- If you do not understand the physician's instructions, ASK, ASK, ASK until you are satisfied
Help make your child's clinic visit or hospitalization as safe as possible.For more information:

TORRENTMASTERS presents Rick Ross – MasterMind (Full Album)
MasterMind the introduction album was actually a amazing winner, and also endures as one of the most exciting, innovative mp3s within the psychedelic era. Blending blues, time-honored, Jap tunes, and also pop into sinister however beguiling tunes, the group sounded like few others. Together with Rick Rossâs wealthy, cooling vocals in addition to sad poetic visions, Rick Ross explored the actual depths in the pitch-dark and a lot chilling facets of these psychedelic experience. Ones own 1st work had been so fantastic, in fact, in which Rick Ross stood a hard time to match it, and even though their upcoming handful of lps covered a large cornucopia of first-rate material, the group even began running up from the limits of these carelessly troubling albums.

Silk is a goldmine for the both the moral-minded and health-conscious that can be found within a vegan diet. Everywhere you look these days, it seems that high-fructose corn syrup is an ingredient (even in some other non-dairy products) – not here. With much relief, Silk using Stevia, cane sugar and evaporated cane juice as their sweeteners of choice; as well as all natural colors and flavours. No animal by-products or derivatives hidden in here either (like that sneaky casein). As an added bonus, their products are also gluten free; and Silk exercises extensive protocols in their production process to ensure there is no contamination, even implementing a method of ultra-high temperature pasteurization to ensure that their products are free from any harmful microorganisms. Silk's products are sourced from whole soybeans - bypassing the processing, chemical extraction and additives and subsequently resulting in a greater range of nutrients and minerals, such as complete protein (rich with amino acids for a healthy heart), calcium, Vitamin D, potassium, riboflavin and vitamin B12, folate and Omega-3's, and cholesterol free. Additionally, studies have shown that a diet accommodating soy may help abating cholesterol as well as the danger of breast and prostate cancer, and even strengthen your bones (just the same as dairy milk is indicated to do) A few interesting facts garnered by studies performed by Silk: 50% more calcium in soy than dairy 25% less calories than milk (and less fat, too!) 77% less water usage in producing soy dairy than milk Producing a carton of Silk generates 47% fewer greenhouse gases (GHGs) than producing a carton of dairy milk. Contrary to popular myth, soy contains isoflavones – a compound which naturally occurs in plants (aka plant estrogen) – not the hormone estrogen, and thus has no effect on estrogen levels. Now that we've covered the benefits Silk provides for your body, let's see what they do for the Earth. Silk is a long-time supporter of the Non-GMO Project; not only is every product they produce enrolled in the project's verification program but they are also certified by the USDA Organic Program. Additionally, Silk purchases Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) (which they've been doing since 2003) to offset the energy used in their manufacturing facilities via clean wind energy. They also purchase Water Restoration Certificates (WRCs) to offset an allotment of the water used in making our products. The funds invested are used to aid in supporting waterway restoration programs in geographical areas of critical need, such as the Colorado River Basin. By 2013, Silk had offset 50% of their water usage - with their culminating ambition being 100% by 2015. If that were not enough, not only are Silk's packaging recyclable, they also reinforce their environmental values through a 'Zero Waste Recycling and Composting' program and conduct what they refer to as 'Brown Bag Seminars' for their employees; which are workshops and classes on things such as beekeeping and organic farming. Silk is a supportive partner in 'Community Food Share', a local food bank, (in 2013, they helped provide 2,762,047 meals through donations and volunteer hours); additionally one day of the year, employees are given the opportunity to volunteer their time to the cause of their choice. And, for their more green-conscious employees, 100% of their transportation is reimbursed annually. Now that we've gotten to know Silk a bit better, here; a wide range of products which they offer - for every taste and taste bud, (inc. an array of products under 100 calories, including their Vanilla Iced Latte and Light Chocolate milk). Almond milk – 11 different flavours Soy milk – 11 different flavours Coconut milk – 3 different flavours Fruit & Protein smoothies – Mixed Berry, Strawberry & Banana, Mango Peach Iced Latte – Vanilla and Mocha

Unfortunately, I don't think there are any Seagull dealerships anywhere in the UK ... this is the information on the Seagull website under dealers:
|United Kingdom
Godin Direct UK 440 Distribution Tel: 01132 589599 Email: email@example.com Web: www.440distribution.com
Through this source, apparently you can get a Norman, which is basically a Seagull with a more traditional headstock.
Ray ... the gift wrapped guitar is the Seagull I gave to my son last Christmas. He is a newbie guitarist at the age of 25 and he's picking things up pretty fast considering. I love acoustic guitars and if I wasn't so inundated with family expenses and obligations, I'd have 20-30 of them I'm sure. Luckily for my family, I am able to resist it becoming a uncontrolable addiction, LOL.
Here's me back in the day ... not quite as high profile as you, but we had a lot of fun!

Aug. 4, 2010
Opening comments:"I'm very excited to welcome our players back today and get started here for the 2010 football season. The players have worked hard in the offseason and we've had a good summer overall. We feel like we're pretty healthy going into camp so we're really excited about what this team might be able to accomplish. I think accomplishment is all about action though. I think what our action is will be everything about what this team is able to achieve. Every guy on the team has to make a decision of what he's willing to do to make this team all it can be. There are obviously some expectations and I think the players need to embrace the challenges but also be able to stay focused on the things they need to do to play winning football at their position. Not really focus on the competition of other players on our team, but actually what they have to do to be the best player they can be and compete against themselves so we can have individuals help individuals get better so we can be the best team possible.
"We have 105 guys that can report today. We have 104 spots that are fixed. We still have one eligibility issue that is still being managed today. We won't have an answer on that until probably the end of the day and that will determine who the 105th spot really is.
"A couple of announcements on the roster. Rod Woodson will no longer be with the team. We mutually agreed that it would be better for him to continue his career someplace else. He will transfer and have the opportunity to do that. We were very helpful in trying to get him an opportunity someplace else and we wish him very well. He did a good job for us.
"Ronnie Carswell is qualified and eligible to play but will start in January. Wilson Love did not pass the physical based on an ankle injury he had in high school. Therefore, he's not going to be able to participate now so we're going to have him start in January. Deion Belue is still working through NCAA eligibility issues which may get resolved or may not get resolved. They're not resolved right now so he will not be with us now. We will determine a plan of action for him when we get all the information relative to that issue of eligibility. That's basically all there is to say about the roster. We do not have any players that are injured now and will not be able to participate in practice including DeQuan Menzie who has worked the last two weeks in the regular summer conditioning program and we are hopeful that we'll be able to continue to progress him so that he can get to 100 percent by the opening game. Provided that he does not have a setback from a medical standpoint, that's very possible for us.
"One of the things that I had mentioned earlier about the importance of this fall camp is the maturity and selflessness of our team relative to what they can accomplish. When I say maturity, I'm talking about young players. If you're old enough, you're good enough if you're mature enough. That's the key issue. We have some good, talented players that do not have the knowledge and experience that some of our players had a year ago. This is an opportunity for them, especially this camp, to continue to develop the foundation of knowledge and experience that they need to be able to play winning football. There's also a confidence that goes with that. A lot of these things go right back to the thing I talked about in the beginning, it's all about your actions. Not just what you do on the football field, it's how you prepare, how you practice, how you give yourself the opportunity to recover, rest and take care of yourself so that you're out there every time that's possible for you to have a chance to get better and improve as a football player. It's how you manage injuries, it's how you manage difficulty, heat, all these things. Is it an opportunity or is it an obstacle? Is it a stepping stone or is it a stumbling block? All those things to me are how you think. How you think determines what your actions are going to be. This team this year has to prove they're going to think right, make the right kind of commitments to do the right kind of things all the time so that they have a chance to be successful. What I say to the players all the time is `What you do speaks so loudly, I can't hear what you say.' The actions of this team are going to be critical in terms of developing an identity for this team and what they do in fall camp.
"We have nothing else to report on Marcell Dareus. Anybody that asks, there's just nothing to report. The investigation has been done, the NCAA will make a decision. We respect the way they handled this whole investigation. Our compliance department has done a fabulous job.
"Mal Moore is hopefully going to get an extension today. He's been a fabulous partner to work with as an athletic director. We're very pleased and happy that he will continue to do that and that we will be able to continue to work well in the future so we can continue to have the kind of success here. I think Mal's foresight in terms of building facilities and doing the things here to set the table. When people didn't have a real positive attitude about this program, he had the foresight to do it is one of reasons we've been able to be successful. He has certainly done everything he can do to help us be successful as an athletic department and a football program. We're certainly pleased about that as well."
On whether or not Marcell Dareus is eligible to practice:"We have 104 players right now that can practice. None of them are injured. Marcell is eligible to practice with no issues."
On his concern with the perceived lack of depth in the secondary:"We're not concerned. We have young players who are going to have to develop and play. Everybody has a responsibility for their own self determination. That's called accountability and dependability. I don't really feel it's a problem when you have people in the organization who aren't accountable, how not having one would affect anything. I know I'm not explaining that very well. We cannot make decisions about the future of players who aren't accountable for what they're supposed to do and not responsible to what they're supposed to do as a member of this team, regardless of what the issue is - behavioral, academic, football oriented - it doesn't matter. I don't care how many players we have, but we have a lot of good players on the team. I would rather move somebody from another position to play where we don't have enough players than to allow somebody not to do the right things and be involved. I don't think we do anyone any good if we do that."
On whether red zone play is a point of emphasis early in camp or after the teaching/instructional phase:"We have a teaching progression that we go through. The things we do in the red zone will probably require some fundamental teaching of three or four practice days before the players are ready to take that on in the progression of how they learn fronts and coverages on defense, as well as formations and plays on offense, because you do adjust what you do in the red zone because of depth of the field. One thing I will say is, defensively, this is the first time in the three years that we've been here that we've been able to accomplish our goal defensively in how we played in the red zone, and it was probably a real key in us being successful last year and being difficult to score on. If you don't give up big plays and you play well in the red zone, then all of a sudden you can get pretty difficult to score on. I think that was one of the key components to last year's team being successful and difficult to score on."
On ESPN's cameras following him around this week and the level of access they're allowed:"They've got rules and regulations like everybody else in this organization, including me. I think it's a wonderful opportunity for the University of Alabama and our football program that ESPN would be interested enough to do sort of an up-close, behind the scenes kind of documentary about the football program here. I think it's something our fans would be interested in and something that football fans in general would be interested in and it probably can promote the game. Everything that we've ever done in a situation like this has been very professionally done. They've never violated any professional courtesy or rule that we've sort of suggested for them to follow. They've been very easy to work with and we don't have any concerns about the access that we're allowing them this time. I think it's great for our program. They'll be a lot of people out there that see this, and certainly by the way we do things it will project a very positive image of the organization."
On if Brandon Gibson and Kendall Kelly alternating positions will continue as it did during spring practice:"I think Brandon Gibson will start and settle on offense unless we have a need to move him back to defense. I think Kendall Kelly will start and settle on defense, and we'll evaluate whether we have a need to move him back to offense. Rather than sort of trying to do both, we're going to settle in with both of those guys and see how they develop."
On whether having the team full of mostly players he recruited will affect the team's personality:"I think the personality of our team has basically come from players buying in, regardless of who brought them in. That has never been an issue. We had a lot of good players last year that we recruited and we brought here, and we had a lot of good players last year that were here when we came here who bought in to the principals and values of the organization and they were more successful because of it. I think who brought them in is insignificant. I think it's what their commitment is and how they buy into the organization, together as a group and individually, that makes the group what it is and what's going to determine the personality of the team and the identity of the team."
On the approach Marcell Dareus should take to practice:"I don't think there is any question that Marcell needs to focus on the future of what he can do to be the best player he can be. Whenever his circumstances are determined as to when he can play, he has to be prepared to play and have a great year. I think it's important for his future, important for our team and Marcell is a team guy. He's on the leadership group. He set's a great example in terms of his effort, his toughness, his attention to detail to execute and do his job well and to finish plays and is also one to be willing to engage and try to influence other players. I don't see any of that changing for Marcell. He's mature enough to know that he created a situation for himself, and he's going to have to live with the consequences if there are consequences. There will be a day when he's allowed to play football again and it may be very soon. He needs to prepare himself to take advantage of that."
On the expansion of the south end zone at Bryant-Denny Stadium:"I think the stadium looks fabulous. I think we had one of the best venues in college football before we made the addition of the end zone, and now we're over 101,000 people. I think now we may be one of the top two or three venues, in terms of a place to play college football, of anywhere in the country. I think it's a beautiful stadium and a great place to watch a game. We have tremendous enthusiasm from our fans there and I know our players are always excited about playing at home. I think all those things are positives for the program in the future. I think we have a tremendous facility and anytime you have tremendous facilities it certainly contributes in a positive way to the future of the program."
On the status of 2010 signee Blake Sims:"We said we have 105 spots and there are two guys who, one guy is going to take that spot and the other guy is going to have to not take the spot. Both of those guys have been informed of their circumstances and understand it. Blake Sims is a guy that's still be evaluated by the eligibility committee from an academic standpoint. Regardless of the information that we get, we're going to have to make that decision very quickly to add the 105th guy to the roster and sort of move on."
On Dre Kirkpatrick undergoing offseason surgery and his recovery thus far:"He had a great summer. He did a good job and was able to participate in everything that all the other players participated in including the simulated training, which includes 7-on-7 that the players do on their own. We're pleased with him. He's 100 percent. He's not going to be held back at all in anything in fall camp."

My favourite Sun Ray customer
By christophersaul on Sep 25, 2005
I was lucky enough to visit a customer recently who are really using Sun Ray to its fullest potential. What's more they're very happy with it and it's working well - the days of rushing around fixing PCs are long gone for the IT team. They are doing pretty much everything it's possible to do with Sun Ray and are reaping the benefits. We're hoping to do an official write up as soon, but here's an anonymous summary of what they're up to for now. The Sun Ray set up currently runs to several hundred seats, principally used by people in their 'Network Operations Centres'. The NOCs monitor the company network's health, take services calls, etc. Other users access a variety of applications through their Sun Rays. Most users have multiheaded set ups, with 3, 4, or 5 monitors on the desk displaying Solaris, Windows and other flavours of Unix on their desktops. One office even has three Sun Rays working fine at the end of a 128Kbps link, connecting back to a central server. Citrix is used to deliver Windows applications and where required, Tarantella is used to deliver Unix apps to Sun Ray and PC users on the end of thin lines. Some custom code has been written so that users' usb drives are automatically mounted and appear as an icon on users' Windows desktops. Some scripting has also been written to integrate with the internal phone network. When a user inserts a card, their extension is automatically set up so that they can use the phone on the desk they are at without needing to log into it - simply inserting your smartcard into the Sun Ray sorts everything out. What's interesting about the whole project is that it's very much been driven by the IT team 'on the ground' rather than by senior managers, from what I understand. The guys were constantly rushing about managing the 'cheap' PCs they had. This was expensive, time consuming and frankly rather boring. So they looked at alternatives... I'd love to say I had a hand in the project, but the praise goes to the local partner, as well as Sun's local Solutions Architect. I can't wait to be able to have an official case study done, as it should help us replicate the solution elsewhere quite easily.

The free service is now more user-friendly and allows enrollees to receive the latest information on overseas
destinations. Citizens who sign up will also receive travel warnings and alerts for the countries they choose. This information is compiled by consular officers around the world and is kept up to date.
Enrollment with the State Department can be useful in many circumstances. For instance, after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti 16,700 U.S. citizens were evacuated. If the State Dept. is aware citizens are present during times of civil unrest or natural disasters (typhoon, tsunami, etc.), the appropriate U.S. embassy or consulate will contact the traveler to offer assistance. They will also be of help in the case of a stolen or lost passport, or if family in the States cannot locate the traveler to give them urgent news.
The U.S. State Department advises their role in international travel:
"U.S. consular officers assist Americans who encounter serious legal, medical, or financial difficulties. Although consular officers cannot act as your legal counsel or representative, they can provide the names of local attorneys and doctors, provide loans to destitute Americans, and provide information about dangerous conditions affecting your overseas travel or residence. Consular officers also perform non-emergency services, helping Americans with absentee voting, selective service registration, receiving federal benefits, and filing U.S. tax forms. Consular officers can notarize documents, issue passports, and register American children born abroad. Most embassies and consulates have web sites with more information."
Travelers only need to register one time on the new site. Trips can be entered, amended and deleted. Users will also receive reports on possible risks and security threats to the countries they have entered.
For anyone worried about shared information, following is the State Dept. policy for the STEP program:
"All the personal information you provide to us is protected under the Privacy Act of 1974. This law prohibits us from sharing the information with anyone without your written authorization. Certain exceptions exist, such as when we need to share information on a limited basis in order to protect your safety and welfare in extreme circumstances."
Do you register, or have you ever registered, with the State Dept. before an overseas trip? Why or why not? Please comment below!

Panthers ring in the new year with 3-2 win over Habs; Barch in hot water
SUNRISE The surprising, injury-decimated Panthers may limp into the new year, but they sent 2011 off with a bang.
Tomas Fleischmann scored two goals but it was Shawn Matthias's third-period goal that drove the Panthers to a much-needed 3-2 victory over the slumping Montreal Canadiens in front of a festive New Year's Eve sold-out BankAtlantic Center.
The Panthers drew more than 20,000 fans to every game this week, for a record gate of 60,742 in three consecutive games.
The Southeast Division-leading Panthers, who had lost seven of their previous 10, staved off the second-place Winnipeg Jets, who are four points behind.
Tied at 1-1 after two, Matthias stole the puck at mid-ice, raced in and wristed it past goaltender Carey Price at 3:08 of the third for his seventh goal of the season.
"Last night wasn't Panthers' hockey,'' Matthias said. "That's the beauty of it, you got 24 hours and you're back at it. You can redeem yourself.''
Fleischmann added an empty-netter with 40.2 seconds left to ice the Panthers' 2-1 holiday homestand and drown out the, 'Go Habs Go,' chants.
Montreal's Erik Cole gave those fans a glimmer of hope with a sensational one-man effort tally with 29 seconds left, but Scott Clemmensen, in relief of injured goaltender Jose Theodore (lower-body), held off the rampaging Canadiens in the closing seconds.
Clemmensen notched 17 saves to atone for a shaky outing in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers.
"I love the way Clem came in there and made the saves when he needed to,'' said Panthers coach Kevin Dineen. "The game really had an edge to it. We had emotion tonight but it wasn't all positive.
Dineen said that Theodore will miss the next few games and rookie Jacob Markstrom will be recalled from San Antonio again.
The Panthers tied it 1-1 at 3:46 of the second period when Fleischmann snapped a roofer over Price. Stephen Weiss and Brian Campbell notched assists on the power-play goal against Montreal's top-rated penalty kill on the road.
It was Fleischmann's 14th and 15 goals, already surpassing last year's total of 12. For Weiss, it was career assist No. 231 to tie Olli Jokinen for the all-time franchise lead, while Campbell notched his league-leading 18th power-play assist.
Thirty seconds after the Panthers tied it, Theodore was injured when defenseman Dmitry Kulikov tried to keep Habs' Mike Blunden from running into the former Canadiens goalie like they had been doing all game.
The Canadiens, losers of seven of eight, took a 1-0 lead at 5:37 when Travis Moen's long slap shot whizzed past Theodore.
Barch kicked out
Panthers enforcer Krystopher Barch received a 10-minute misconduct Friday and a game misconduct at the end of the first period Saturday when according to a source, a linesman overheard Barch uttering a teasing-type slur toward Montreal's P.K. Subban, a native black Canadian.
Subban said he didn't hear anything and it's not in his control. The league will investigate the matter further, and according to Dineen, Barch was, "broken up,'' over the incident. One un-named Canadiens' player said he heard something about somebody's, "mother."
"I'm going to let the league take care of their business,'' Dineen said.
Goc, Samuelsson skating again
While the team has danced around using the dreaded 'concussion' word all season, Panthers forward Marcel Goc, who has been out since Nov. 16, admitted this was his second concussion in the past four years.
"It felt pretty good,'' Goc told the Sun-Sentinel in his first interview since the injury and following his first on-ice practice with the team. "It was an optional practice, so the risk of getting hit was pretty small. I guess I got to progress every day a little more.
"The head is one part of the body you shouldn't mess with.''
While Goc is doubtful for next week's Rangers-Devils road trip, forward Mikael Samuelsson said he will, "absolutely,'' be playing.
Samuelsson, who has missed the last five games with a bruised tailbone, skated on his own Saturday.
"It's never a great time for an injury, but I was starting to feel better,'' Samuelsson said. "I just got to dig in again and come back with energy.
"The young guys are doing well but say what you want, it's too many injuries to cover up.''
Kopecky fined
Panthers forward Tomas Kopecky and Rangers defenseman Michael Del Zotto were fined the maximum $2,500 apiece under the CBA rules for their altercation Friday.
Kopecky, who received a match penalty, could've been suspended, but NHL disciplinarian czar Brendan Shanahan said the fine was enough punishment.

Australia Studies Centre
Program Overview
In conjunction with the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, George Fox students can participate in the Australia Studies Centre (ASC). Students study at the Christian Heritage College, located in Brisbane, Australia. The ASC is designed to integrate the firsthand observation and study of Australian culture, history, religion, politics and Indigenous cultures together with experiential service learning and formal instruction in Christian Studies, Business, Ministries, Social Sciences and Education and Humanities.
Course Content
The program is comprised of one seminar course designed especially for ASC students, including courses in Australian culture and history and discipline specific courses.
The student will fill out two applications.
• George Fox off-campus application form (obtained from the Center for Study Abroad; or downloaded here).
• Australia Studies Centre application (to be completed online here). An application fee must accompany your application.
*The ASC application should only be completed after being informed from the Director of Study Abroad that you are accepted for an off-campus study semester.
Students must be full-time undergraduates with junior or senior status, holding a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher to apply. There is NO language requirement.
Because students remain enrolled at George Fox University while participating at the ASC, academic credit is awarded by George Fox. Students will typically take between 15-16 credit hours. Students will be required to attend two pre-departure meetings, complete an online course evaluation, and attend a re-entry meeting upon their return. Students must see the transfer credit specialist in the Registrars office BEFORE they begin their semester off-campus.
Students may be housed with Australian families situated in Brisbane and its surrounds.
The student pays George Fox's standard tuition, room and board, and student fees and an additional fee for the Australian Study Center. Participants continue to receive financial aid, including scholarships, since they are officially George Fox students. Round trip airfare is additional.

Beware of Fraud B-12 Supplements
I'm a pretty sensitive guy and I can usually feel very clearly what different products do to my body. Angela on the other hand rarely feels the effect of products as strongly as I do. Yet she felt these B-12 patches big time. She had put two on and it was almost too intense for her, but she loved it at the same time, because she knew she was getting loads of B-12 into her system. We even cut a patch in half and put one on Oria's back. I honestly feel if people want to save money, they could easily cut the patches in half to spread them out over time. These patches are extremely powerful!
Our new and improved B-12 patches have 1200 mcg's of 100% Active Methylcobalamin Vitamin B-12, rather than our previously promoted patches which have only 1000 mcg's.
Emotional/mood problems
For years we've seen celebrities and other high-profile figures get expensive, prescription-only B-12 shots. With our new B-12 Energy Patch we make it simple and affordable. Just place the patch behind the ear once or twice a week and you're done. Use it weekly to eliminating the sluggishness, fatigue and many other health problems that have been plaguing you.
Unknown Deficiency
Many Americans unknowingly suffer from a B-12 deficiency. However, because of the way B-12 is stored in the body, blood tests rarely reveal a deficiency.

Garden of Isis, Florence Deeble's Rock Garden
Florence Deeble recreated postcards of her travels in concrete in her backyard in Lucas, Kansas. When she passed away, her family donated her house to the Grassroots Art Center. Mri Pilar approached the Grassroots folks and offered to make art in the house. They asked what she had done. She answered, "Nothing, yet." She started making altered Barbies, and now the first floor of the house is the "Garden of Isis," full of found-object art made from mannequins and dolls.[Kim Newell, 09/10/2012]
Florence Deeble reportedly was inspired to make yard art by watching her neighbor, Sam Dinsmoor, when he was building his Garden of Eden around the corner. Her miniature Mount Rushmore is as photogenic as the original.
