Meet Harriette! She is a 301 and has a bit of a story. I taught 2 brothers and a sister last summer to sew. We made string blocks and pillowcases. Not sure that the boys will sew again this summer, but they had fun. The little sister will be back with her mom. I also may be teaching some homeschool kids, so I had been looking for a 301 to add to my 2 FW. They are great sturdy machines for kids. I had seen some off and on on Craigslist, but there was always something that held me back: no case, no attachments at all, no foot or power cord, not in great shape...you get the picture. A week and a half before Christmas, I saw one on Craigslist. Seemed to fit my requirements, so I e-mailed. Then I got ANTSY, so I called. I told the man I would not stand him up, but could he hold it till the next Friday. Our DD was flying into a regional airport WAAAAAAY on the other side of town. I could not see making two long trips in less than a week. Not only did I not want to waste my time, but hey! Gas is not cheap either! He said he had been stood up before and he did not know me, so he would not promise to hold it. I was disappointed, but he promised to call me if it sold and if it was still available on that Thursday, he would hold it till Friday. Fair enough.
As I usually do, when I see something I want on Craigslist, I have to watch it ALL DAY! A couple hours pass, and I search again for a Singer 301. This one does not pop up. :::Sniff::: She was someone ELSE's treasure. DRAT. another hour passes and I notice I have missed a call. Area code for that city WAAAAAY across town. DOUBLE DRAT.
He is calling me to tell me it sold. I listen anyway and here is what I hear.... "Hi Beth, this is N-. You may not remember me, I used to blog at R- S-. I don't blog any more, but I still read YOUR blog. Guess who's husband is selling the 301? MINE! HE does not know you , but I DO. We will be happy to hold the 301 till Friday."!
Introducing Harriette. She is named after my mom's mom. Both my grands were avid seamstresses, so I got a double dose! Harriette and I sewed togther on the NYD one day mystery over at Planet Patchwork. She is a dream to sew on! Here is her picture:

NeXpose vulnerability scanner review
I was preparing to turn in after a successful night, when I realized that I should probably share it with you all.I have been wanting to use a vulnerability scanner at home to see my vulnerabilities, and get some experience doing it. I have been looking at Nessus, but I didnt feel ready to go for it, and I worried with some modules requiring payment. While looking into Metasploit Unleased in an attempt to understand tools I was using in my studies, I found a scanner called NeXpose from Rapid7, the owners of the popular Metasploit Framework. So I am writing a quick review based on my experience.
NeXpose is vulnerability management software from Rapid7. The community edition is a free single user license program. One of the first things I noticed is that it claimed to be a full vulnerability management program, unlike the Secunia PSI program I use, which only scans for out of date/EOL/vulnerable software.
In any case, I looked into the program after a short registration process, I was emailed the activation code and the email included links to the download, and the software manual. I downloaded and began reading the manual while downloading the software, and found it easy to understand, and the walkthough was fairly comprehensive. I defiantly appreciated that, although it was not really necessary for most of the installation.
Installation was a breeze, no configuration changes necessary during install although according to documentation, security software will interfere with its use, so they appear to want you to disable WF, and any other applications that could interfere, AV was mentioned, I assume because of the exploit databases. Obviously this will require forward planning, insure your hosts are behind a boundary firewall, if you require internet connectivity (which you will at least for the program update)
The one issues I encountered that was not noted in the manual was issues that ended up being caused by Internet Explorer's enhanced security configuration (The software is supported on Windows Server 2k and 2k3 and Linux OS' only)
There was one additional issue after I completed my first scan, where the program stayed at the scanning page, but the console said the scan was done, I simply closed and reopened the browser, and it was GTG.
Scanning time was fairly quick, I would say under 5 minutes for one host, but I wasnt counting, It may have been closer to 3. I was able to monitor the action via the program's console, in which the program would attempt to access services, attempt exploits. I am pleased to announce that it only found 1 vulnerability, which it gave me an easy to follow recommendation for remediation. I can say there is little else as pleasing as seeing those words scroll by: NOT VULNERABLE, LOGIN ATTEMPT FAILED, ect... I'll be glad to answer any questions you guys may have, and thanks for letting me share.

With the mentioning that his own Bankai will destroy everything, including HIMSELF, if the battle drags on for much longer, I have this awful suspicion that Yamamoto won't be killed by Juha at all. Since his Bankai is so overpowered, and with no seemingly way for Bach to kill him (without a Kubo asspull), Yamamoto might just get killed by his own Bankai. Of course, that would require Bach to somehow hold him and his zombies off for a while, and he's already done a stellar job with that

First of all, that title! It was written so vintage Kubo like it was hard to read at first. LIKE A RAGING FIRE!!
Yamamoto's bankai is making this fight more interesting IMO, since he admits himself (and we heard last chapter) that Soul Society could be destroyed...so now it's Quincies motives versus Yamamoto's extreme power.
YES, Bach brings out his arrows! Finally they remember Quincy techniques! And that holy spell thing--I really like the idea of Quincies being holy warriors/warriors of god, it competes perfectly with Shinigami, who are just beings that maintain the balance of souls and don't actually bring judgment on beings.
I was secret hoping Bach would pull and Uryu and trollface 'lol, this isn't a barrier, every Quincy weapon is an arrow' and launch the attack at Yama before he breached.
And damn, so there is a 'south' to his attacks, was hoping they'd just keep the 'Sun' theme and only make it 'east' and 'west'...oh well. Fires that turn the dead into part of your flames? Reminds me of Flame of Recca, pretty badass. So we'll get to see North hopefully and wonder if we'll even get a G Gundam Master Asia and get to see a CENTER!

hole shit, this chapter was amazing...DAT final page!
from the get-go bleach was a battle between angels (quincies) and demons (shinigami) so seeing yama raising an army of the dead doesn't fall in the ass-pulled kubo power-ups since he's a shinigami and all.
But saying that Yamamoto is the most OP and his bankai is the most op is a bit erroneous as his bankai comes with a high price as pretty-boy quincy pointed out more or less.
So from this we can assume his bankai uses his own reiatsu as fuel to ignite the flames so when the fuel runs out so will yamamoto.
Sure his bankai is awesome and has awesome tricks but ultimately it can't compare to Zangetsu's getsuga phase.
Let's not forget that Yamamoto is a shinigami and nothing more. He couldn't of stopped Aizen even if he used his bankai because Aizen went and became something 'more' than a shinigami during the fake karakura town arc.
And since a battle between shinigami is a battle between reiatsu, Aizen would of came out as top-dog because his reiatsu couldn't even be felt by the other's, including Ichigo's dad so that should tell us how much of a monster Aizen really was.
So as he was then, he could of destroyed Yamamoto with ease since he was backed up by something that not even his sword could of erased from existence, the Hogyoku.
And the only guy who was more of a monster than him was Ichigo after he came back from his hyperbolic time chamber training....his reiatsu was soooooo overwhelming that there wasn't a single person in bleachverse that could detect his reiatsu.
As Ichigo was then, not only could he withstand Yama's awesome blaze of glory and smack Yama around senseless but he could of oneshoted him with Mugetsu.
Aizen only survived that attack thanks to the Hogyoku evolving him way past the existence of a shinigami otherwise he would of been atomized.
So you wanna talk about the most op bankai, think zangetsu as mugetsu is and still remains the most powerful attack in bleachverse to this day.
Also the reason as to why Bach isn't attacking is because his blut is set of defense and as we know quincies can't use their blut to attack and defend at the same time.
His only chance, is to stall until yama's bankai burns away all the fuel and he seems to be doing a pretty good job as yama just keeps kicking it up a notch cause of his rage. I assume "North" will be yama's undoing.

^ Mugetsu and the DBZ-fication of Aizen in that arc was the worst thing that happened in Bleach , IMO. Plus, it was a one time thing. And Aizen needed Hogyoku to become that powerful. Also, Ichigo has hollow powers which were required, for him to get that powerful.
And let's not forget that he's the lead character of the series. So, it's a given that he will be have the most powerful weapon/ability.

Hey hey, looks like we got a South after all Though he didn't really need to use it just yet. His first two abilities were kicking ass already.
Of course the old man is OP. But we've known that forever. It would honestly be disappointing if his bankai was any less than what it is.
Although, I am curious what those zombies will actually do.

A Three-Wheeled Beast
With the open-air freedom of a motorcycle, the three-wheeled Can-Am touring trikes offer a comfortable riding experience.
If riding on four wheels is getting boring but going to just two seems a bit daunting, the new Can-Am Spyder RT may offer the perfect compromise. While the Spyder, sometimes affectionately referred to as a trike, offers the open-air freedom of a motorcycle, it is definitely a different animal. Don't expect to lean into corners and flirt with a wheely on takeoff. Do expect a comfortable wind-in-your-face experience and lots of curious street stares as you negotiate city streets or the interstate.
There are three versions of Can-Am's touring trike: the basic Spyder RT, the mid-level Spyder RT-S or the total bells and whistles Spyder RT Limited. The RT base model comes with a 5-speed manual transmission plus reverse, an absolute necessity for maneuvering the Spyder ($23,399 base price) into tight spots. The RT-S offers the option of a semi-automatic transmission plus an AM-FM audio system with iPod capability, heated passenger handgrips and more. The Limited piles even more extras including a built-in GPS.
All Spyder's are powered by a 998cc V-twin engine which pushes the 929 pounds of machinery down the road with little effort. There's also power steering and ABS brakes on all three wheels. There is no separate handbrake and no need to put your feet on the pavement when stopped. The passenger seat is nearly as comfortable as a lounge chair and there's tons of storage—in the front hatch and the side and back storage boxes.
Be prepared for assorted sneers from some of the more die-hard motorcyclists. However, the Spyder is a fun and easy ride that promises to introduce the open road to a whole new audience.

Introduction to the Report
The State ESEA1 Title I Participation Summary Report for 2002-03 summarizes the participation data for the Title I, Part A (Title I), Grants to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) program. This program financially assists eligible school districts and schools in providing opportunities for at-risk children to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to meet challenging state content and achievement standards. The Part A program can serve children from preschool to high school and provides supplemental services to many special populations, including children with disabilities, students with limited English proficiency (LEP), and migrant children. This program also provides services to eligible children in nonpublic schools and in local institutions serving neglected or delinquent students and offers other support services, such as family literacy services.
This report provides Title I participation data for 2002-03, the first year the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) was implemented. The report also presents comparisons with 2001-02 and previous years that were covered by prior laws, including the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994 (IASA). Topics include districts, schools and students served, the range of instructional and support services provided, Title I staffing patterns, and schools' progress toward meeting performance standards, as reported by states on Parts I and II of the Consolidated State Performance Reports (CSPR). The tables shown in this report reflect data submitted by the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and Puerto Rico. State-by-state tables follow the text. This report supplements the information provided in the 2002-03 NCLB Annual Report transmitted to Congress in 2005.
The quality and timeliness of the state-submitted data continue to be an issue. Part I of the CSPR was due from the states to the U.S. Department of Education (Department) in December 2003, and Part II was due June 2004; however, not all states met these deadlines. As of February 2006, three states (Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wyoming) and the Bureau of Indian Affairs had not yet submitted 2002-03 Title I participation figures from Part II and as a result, the state-level tables at the end of this report show blank cells for these states. In addition, the state reports, once submitted, were often incomplete or included apparent errors and inconsistencies that required repeated follow-up calls to states. The problem of incomplete data is greatest when there are changes to the data collection instrument from one year to the next. There are, however, some instances in which states are unable to provide some of the required information even though the data collection instrument has not changed from the previous year. The Department continues to work with states to improve both the quality and timeliness of their submissions. Further, the Department's Education Data Exchange Network (EDEN) and its EDFacts reporting system is intended to improve data quality and reporting in future years.
As part of the verification process, states could and did revise information submitted for 2002-03 as well as information submitted for earlier years. As a result of these revisions, some of the information shown in this report for years prior to 2002-03 differs from previously published figures. Additionally, a number of tables from previous reports are not in the 2002-03 report because of changes in the CSPR for 2002-03. Specifically, tables showing the number of Title I schools by poverty level, LEAs identified for improvement, schools meeting state criteria for adequate yearly progress (AYP), LEAs providing family literacy services, and extended time instructional programs were eliminated.
The 2002-03 achievement results will be reported separately in State Education Indicators with a Focus on Title I 2002-03. Refer to the Department's Web site at http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/opepd/ppss/reports.html#title.
1. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Improving America's Schools Act, Pub. L. No. 103 382, 108 Stat. 3518, et. seq. (1994). This act was further amended by the No Child Left Behind Act, Pub. L. No. 107 110, 20 U.S.C. § 6301 (2002) (enacted Jan. 8, 2002).

Drought Seen Prompting Pause in U.S. Farmland Price Gains
Farming's inherent risk, forgotten during years of booming incomes that pushed farmland values to records, may damp enthusiasm for investing even as government subsidies buoy U.S. cropland returns, analysts and farmers say.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture today probably will say that farmland values reached an all-time high this year as crop and livestock prices surged and export demand stayed near a record. Still, the drought gripping the U.S. Corn Belt may lower farmer appetite to buy up land and make some investors shy away from an investment that may be less attractive in the short term, said Brent Gloy, an agricultural economist at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.
"From an economics impact, one year shouldn't have a big impact," Gloy said in a telephone interview. "From a psychological impact, people won't be as aggressive buying land in places that didn't have a crop."
Farm income will reach $91.7 billion this year, second only to last year, according to a USDA forecast made before the drought. Corn traded in Chicago surged 57 percent through yesterday since June 15, as the drought spread into the Midwest, while soybeans gained 23 percent. Cattle futures climbed 7.2 percent since mid-June. The USDA's next estimate of farm profit for 2012 will be at the end of this month.
'Macroeconomic Worries'
"Dramatic" gains in farmland prices in 2012 and "looming macroeconomic worries" will slow increases next year, Rabobank International said in a report last week. Values may may rise by 10 percent or less in the first half of next year, said Sterling Liddell, a vice president of Rabobank's food and agribusiness research based in St. Louis. Gains in some ares exceeded 30 percent during the 12 months through June, according to the report.
In Illinois and Indiana, two of the hardest-hit drought states, farmland prices rose about 50 percent from 2006 to 2011, according to USDA data. Such gains may be difficult to sustain as farmers, seeing seared fields, decide to invest more conservatively, said David Carr, who grows corn and soybeans near Macon, Illinois.
Small farmers, many of whom rent their land, faced with a year of loss, may not be able to compete with larger growers and investors in bidding for attractive parcels, he said. Still, crop insurance, which in some cases will cover 85 percent of a farmer's expected revenue this year, should keep many growers afloat, allowing sellers to argue that even in a drought, farmland is a stable investment, Carr said.
Prices, Yields
"Something like this, you would think it would slow prices down. But maybe it won't," he said. "Good commodity prices and yields have been driving farmland, and if we can get back to that, we should be OK."
Pastureland used for cattle-ranching may fare worse than cropland because of the lack of insurance support, said Jim Farrell, president and chief executive officer of Farmers National Co., based in Omaha, Nebraska.
In parts of Texas and other areas where the dry conditions have persisted for more than a year, "the drought could have a weakening effect on some of those values," Farrell, whose company manages more than 5,000 farms across the Midwest and Plains, said in an interview. Still, investors looking for longer-term investments may take advantage of any pause in price gains to snap up properties, he said.
"Some land, when you see it come up for sale, you may never see it again," Farrell said. "It's a different dynamic" from housing or other real-estate markets.
Interest rates that have made long-term investments in productive land attractive, along with high crop prices, will remain the key determinants of what farmland is worth, said Keith Collins, a former chief economist for the USDA.

Cop Loses Job After Lie Detector Test
A former Snohomish Police sergeant is suing Snohomish County for effectively ending his career in law enforcement over a disputed lie detector test.
The suit was filed in federal court last week.
Donald Loen worked in law enforcement for seventeen years, including time with Washington State Patrol and two terms with Snohomish Police.
When the city ended its police force in 2011 and contracted with Snohomish County, its officers had the ability become deputies, provided they pass a background test.
The test includes a polygraph.
According to the lawsuit, Loen was asked whether he had sold drugs in his past and "recalled an occasion as a teenager some 23 years ago when he had thought he may have been paid for a nominal amount of marijuana."
Still, according to Loen, he was told by the woman administering the polygraph that he was "within the acceptable range" of the computer.
"She told me congratulations, you've passed the background examination. Welcome to the Sheriff's Office," Loen said.
Days later, Loen was told by Snohomish County he did not get the job because, "we felt you were being deceptive" according to Loen.
Loen appealed to the county Civil Service Commission and lost.
He tried to join the force in Kittias County and in Ellensburg, but despite testing highly, was turned down when Snohomish County informed them he had "failed" the polygraph.
Loen doubts he will ever be a police officer again, he is training to become a truck driver.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Being an 83 van and 5 lugs you have the standard ½-ton rated axle, but GM gave you the spring packs out of a ¾-ton truck to up the GVW rating of your van.
Depending on the year of the 1-ton work van, you might be able to swap everything over to your 1983 van. GM has a very interchangeable amount of parts
I intend on doing pretty much the same thing with my 1988 Suburban, I intend on hauling a car trailer among other things, and feel that the 235/75/15 tires I am using aren't up to the task, they barely cut it for what I am asking of them now.
I have several axles/ parts truck suspension pieces/ and part numbers of things needed to make the swap work for what I want. I am swapping a 14-bolt 1-ton truck axle, and ¾-ton truck front suspension parts for mine. I cross referenced catalogs I have for suspension pieces and other things that needed considered and found that some of the things I have on the Suburban now can be used with the swapped parts without concern.
I will be moving up to an all season tread 235/85/16 tire with a 10-ply rating from the existing 6-ply I have now.
The 1 ton axles are the full floaters..the 5 stud style are not won't fit..Have to change the entire housing..
Now if you wish you may be able to change all the 3/4 ton axle and suspension pieces out of the 1 ton into the 3/4 and then have a 1 ton van..that is front and rear..all of it..
Differential Swap/axle concerns
I own a 1983 Chevy van with a std rear end(3:08 gears) and I tow a 31ft airstream, travel trailer, with it. I was going to buy a retired 1 ton work van for a couple hundred dollars and swap the rear end and out of it. Being that it is a 1 ton van it has eight bolt hubs / axles if you will, my van is a 3/4 ton and has 5 bolt hubs / axles. Can I take the axles out of my Van, 1983 3/4 ton 5 lug..GM 10 Bolt with 8.5 ring gear...and insert them into the larger rear end that has 3:73 gears in it. I know it has that ratio because of the option sheet but I don't know if it is a Dana Rear end or what. I wanted to get some tech advice before I pay the two hundred for the van and haul it home for disassembly.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a windowless den that I plan to convert into my sewing space?
i have three young sons, my home is over ran by baby gear, transformers and Legos! I need a space that it mine!
why not make your own windows. You could overlook the ocean or the mountains or basically anywhere. Al so, get really good lighting for your room.
This is my space now.
I noticed you have a ledge above your sofa -- how about installing open shelves, first on the shelf and then up the wall all the way to the top? It would be a great place to put fabrics, books, plants, etc. You could also put some inexpensive glass against the wall first to reflect light behind everything you'll have on the shelves if you wanted. I'd go with 'hopetoquilts' great idea for the wall across from your sewing machine. If you found a large window that has multi panes (glass separated by dividers like your door has) then you could put pictures of whatever behind the glass -- whether beach, woods, countryside, flowers, animals, etc....just things YOU love. Then I'd take it one step further and install a cornice board on the top and hang a drapery on each side (with a topper along the top of the window), which of course you could make from your favorite fabrics (or hang a couple of quilts as drapes on each side). You could do a lot with the room for storage, and still make it totally yours for your quilting. A track light system on the ceiling would be wonderful (you could wire it from the existing light source and have lots more light) where you point the lights where you want. Point 1-2 lights on the 'window', on the shelving and of course, down, so you have lots of light for your sewing area. Love the green on the walls and the wood flooring looks super!
You appear to have adequate lighting but I would put more to get rid of the shadows. Do you like the color of the paint? If not what is your favorite color? I know why paint but in order to make this your space you might have to choose another color. What about a cutting table with storage? Make sure it is the right height to avoid fatique. As suggested, fake window or posters would help. Wall hangings and mementos in your favorite colors. Does the sofa and exercise equipment have to be stored in this room? This is your woman cave make it your own. I am retired now but I remember when I had young children I despertly needed space to call my own. Ask yourself what you want to make this space yours.
No window means you can store your fabric without worrying about fading. No window means more space for a big design wall and floor to ceiling shelving units. I would move the sofa to the short wall where you currently have your sewing chair. This would give you the L shaped section of the room to make your own. A nice shelving unit with doors will store your fabric and supplies. Make sure you get one with handles that you can put a cupboard lock though to keep the kiddos out of your tools and stuff. The top of the unit can hold quilt batts on top of it. More of the foam mats mounted into the wall alcove would make a design wall that you could pin into. Use the double stick command strips or sticky Velcro strips if you don't want it to be permanent.
Love, love, LOVE the paint color! Very bright and happy! I like DebbE's idea of putting shelves above the ledge by your sofa. Another idea (but it means sacrificing wall/storage space) is to get a really big mirror to lean on the ledge to make the space feel even more open. It's a great space, have fun making it yours!
Like onetomatoplant I would suggest a large mirror to reflect light
NL quilter, I had the same problem in a bathroom. What I did was buy a mirror the size of a small window. After I hung it I hung up curtains around my new "window". Gives the room more light and even my DH says it looks really nice.
Make an attic windows quilt! That way you can create your own view. I like the idea of using mirrors too, as discussed above. While I like the windows in my room, I think music is even more important - I can concentrate on sewing better with soft music in the room - who has time to look out the windows?

Get Jennifer Lawrence's Hunger Games Premiere Hair!
In case you weren't following our live-tweets, last night was the much-anticipated premiere of The Hunger Games, and Seventeen covergirl Jennifer Lawrence's pretty hair blew us away! The low bun looks incredibly intricate, but Dove Celebrity Stylist Mark Townsend shared how he created the look so you can try it yourself — just in time for prom!
First, apply a large dollop of Dove Style+Care Nourising Curls Whipped Cream Mousse to damp hair and blow dry with a large round brush to create volume. Next, spray 3-inch sections of hair with a heat protectant spray and wrap it around a 1-inch curling iron. Then, use Sally Hershberger Genius Spray Wax all over to give your hair a second-day texture. Take two jeweled headbands (Mark used Jennifer Behr crystal bands) and braid them into your hair, then pin the braid into a bun. To create extra hold, spray your bobby pins with a dry shampoo, like Dove Refresh+Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo, before putting them into your style. Finish off the look with an extra hold hairspray to keep your 'do in place while you dance the night away!
Would you try this up-do for your next special event? Tweet us a photo if you do!

I guess I just need a shoulder to cry on. I lost one hive going into winter and see I've lost another. A third hive doesn't look very strong-- so I'm down to one strong hive. I like to keep 5!!
One question- I've stacked the hive boxes and supers, with some capped honey, using the (forgot the name) crystals. In spring do I need to do anything with that honey before giving it to a hive?

This spring the Big Lake Public Library provided a new "Young Miss Tea" program for girls 10 to 15. Eight girls attended. They learned about skin care and gave themselves facials and received manicure sets and polish and gave themselves manicures. They also enjoyed tea and lunch. The library also recently held their annual Princess Tea which was attended by 20 local princesses. The group made princess diaries, crowns and Cinderella slippers before sitting down to tea and lunch.

Chemistry is A + B → C + D, substances and their transformations. Change, symbolized by the arrow in the equation, was always of real value to people, whether it was in the protochemistries of food preparation, gunpowder, dyes or metallurgy. The hold was psychological as well as economic; it was fascinating, frightening, thrilling—all of these—to see color changes, healing and explosions. As chemistry became a molecular science, the magic of transformation did not abate. And the value of adding value to the natural by human transformation never left us, it only changed scale; aside from airplanes and computers, the chemical industry is pretty much the major positive contributor to the U.S. trade balance.
But all along it has been too easy to focus on the before and after, on the reactants and products, on the noun and not the verb. Nor did much change as we learned of the molecules within macroscopic matter—to capture change itself, to visualize it and harness its special features was never easy. The blinking of an eye is glacially slow compared with what happens in the first few of dozens of reactions in photosynthesis, or in the controlled explosions in your car engine.
There is a change in chemistry today, for the arrow is now well on its way to being understood. (See "Reaction Dynamics in Organic Chemistry," March–April 1997.) We have femtosecond spectroscopies that allow us to freeze the arrow's motion in neo-Zeno ways, as in the remarkable work of Ahmed Zewail of Caltech. The pictures we obtain of molecular motion, albeit indirect, are truly as startling, and as decisive of argument, as the photographs that Eadweard Muybridge obtained of galloping horses in the late 19th century (a point made to me by my Stanford colleague John Brauman).
And, in the true test of understanding, we can bend the arrow, direct the reaction elsewhere. Why should we wish to do so? Because we desire that which is not easily given unto us. Or we may profit from this capability. But mainly we wish to gain confidence in our understanding of how transformation takes place by affecting the transformation, by ringing the changes on change itself. In the first installment of Marginalia on the new kinetic art, I tell here two contemporary stories of reaction dynamics.
Methane, CH4, "wants" to fall apart or dissociate on a nickel surface to produce CH3 and H strongly bound (chemisorbed) to that surface—the process is thermodynamically downhill. But bleed a little CH4 into the vacuum above a clean nickel surface and nothing happens. Oh, the methane settles down on the surface (physisorption) but refuses to decompose. We say there is a barrier to dissociative chemisorption. Breaking up is hard to do; that we know. But breaking up methane is crucial; if one wants to make complex molecules from abundant natural gas, one better begin by disrupting at least one C–H bond in ever-so-stable methane.
The nature and size of that barrier was studied independently by three groups (Gert Ehrlich at the University of Illinois, Robert J. Madix at Stanford and Sylvia T. Ceyer at MIT). They seeded CH4 in a helium beam in a way such that the speed of the CH4 could be controlled. When that beam of CH4 molecules impinged on the surface, nothing happened until the kinetic energy of the methane exceeded a threshold value (about 60 kilojoules per mole), at which point the CH4 fell apart, generating the products CH3 and H, both of which were chemisorbed on the surface.
Sylvia Ceyer and her coworkers then went on to do a beautifully simple experiment. They laid down a layer of gently physisorbed (and thus essentially unperturbed) methane on that surface. Then they trained a beam of argon atoms (the hammer!) of controlled energy on the unsuspecting quiescent methane. When the argon atoms provided somewhat more collisional oomph than the moving methane molecules had in the absence of the noble gas, chemistry took place.
Though mysteries remain aplenty in the falling apart of molecules at surfaces, the beautiful story I just told was pretty classical. Sometimes the dynamics of chemical reactions have truly nonclassical features, ones that derive from the quantum nature of molecules. For molecules are truly betwixt and between—part classical objects, sculpted in their multifarious richness as macroscopic structures are, part quantum objects with the seemingly arcane consequences of the quantum world.
A remarkable report recently appeared from Richard Zare's Stanford University group that exemplifies quantum mysteries, even as it has a partially classical explanation. Diatomic molecules can be induced to fall apart by either heat or light. The Stanford group looked at a simple diatomic, ICl (the mixed partner to familiar diatomic chlorine, Cl2, and iodine, I2) and its photodissociation by a beam of linearly polarized green light. Off come Cl and I atom fragments; the Cl atom is the one they studied.
The electron in the Cl atom has two kinds of angular momentum—one is its intrinsic spin, the other the angular momentum of its orbital motion. The two kinds of Cl atoms in which (as the Cl sails away) the odd electron is rotating clockwise or counterclockwise (thus with "topspin" or "backspin" with respect to the direction of motion) can be experimentally distinguished.
The remarkable outcome of the quantum nature of the bond-breaking process is that this "handedness" (helicity) of the electronic angular momentum oscillates between backspin and topspin, depending on the wavelength (thus energy) of the dissociating light! The explanation comes only from the wavelike properties of the material molecule, more precisely from the interference of wave-like descriptions of the mixture of different electronic states accessed by the absorption of that light.
Actually, a classical model gets us part of the way to understanding what transpires. The absorption of light starts the electron cloud in the ICl molecule oscillating. Normally, such oscillations have the same symmetry as the molecule; that is, the oscillation occurs either along the bond or at right angles to the bond. In the particular case that Zare's group studies, the excitation of the electron cloud is to a mixed state in which the electron cloud oscillates both along the bond axis and at right angles to it because of quantum-interference effects. The resulting electron motion is a circulation (the helicity) whose sense of rotation depends on how the two different motions are combined. The fragments carry away in the topspin or backspin the memory of that interference.
Both of the studies described above depend on supersonic molecular beams expanding into a vacuum—in Ceyer's case a beam of neon, argon or krypton seeded in helium, in Zare's case a pulsed beam source of ICl molecules. The velocities of the molecules emerging from these beams can be controlled by heating the expansion nozzle over a wide temperature range. The beams are "skimmed" downstream by sharp-edged openings and collimated by slits, obstructions and otherwise-shaped orifices. The language of handling tenuous gases is one of machined metals—walking down the lanes of exhibitor's wares at a meeting of the American Vacuum Society is a fantastic experience (in the advertisers' wares, I once found a poem). The language is one of intended control. The outcome, if everything is just right (days of alignment and pumping to get it there), is a molecular beam exquisitely well defined in its dimensions and in the speed of the molecules coursing down their appointed paths.
The light is that of lasers, in the service of transforming change itself. Chemists have always been interested in mechanism, the answer to the simple question "How? How does it happen?" The response comes out of looking closer at the arrow in A + B → C + D, finding the many sequential arrows hidden in the gross transformation. The newer work, both femtosecond spectroscopy (to be discussed in a future Marginalia) and the two studies mentioned here, consistently uses lasers. They deliver precise dollops of energy, to disrupt or characterize bonds and motions in a molecule. In the laser's bright light, we are seeing signposts, I think, to a new dynamics.

About the Book
With the death of Senator Edward Kennedy, a significant chapter in American history will come to a close. The Kennedy legacy is enormous and vital, and the American fascination with the family on a personal and political level has long endured. Images of Camelot, the Kennedy family on the beach in Hyannisport, Bobby Kennedy campaigning for the presidency with his ever-present dog Freckles and the sad passing of his funeral train that drew thousands, Teddy Kennedy′s place on Capitol Hill as a champion of health care and family patriarch with its joys (giving Caroline away on her wedding day) and sorrows (bearing the metal coffin with the remains of John F. Kennedy, Jr. back to Woods Hole after his fatal 1999 plane crash)--these pictures are embedded in the American psyche. Americans can identify with the Kennedy family on a personal level: while their losses and sorrows have been enormous, their achievements have been enormous, their verve, intense and heartfelt.
This book celebrates that legacy. Inspiring and uplifting, and organized thematically by subjects such as truth, determination, discipline, listening to your inner voice, and other relevant topics. It captures the wit, wisdom, and distinct personality of each of these dynamic leaders. It is at once an homage to the Kennedys and a book of inspirational guidance.
The content includes first-person quotations, excerpts from letters, interviews, and speeches by each man. It also includes anecdotes and observations on the three brothers by other family members, such as Joseph Sr. and Rose. Three eight-page inserts reveal images of the brothers--alone and together--from their youth to their final days.
The book is structured as a must-have memento: beautifully designed, it makes a great gift, particularly with its selection of carefully chosen pictures. With its diverse editorial content, it will appeal to those with an interest in history and politics as well as to those with a more pop-culture interest in the Kennedy aura. With its compelling stories, passionate views on life and overcoming difficulty, it captures the essence of each man′s personality, and provides solace and inspiration for the reader, which will appeal to the self-help audience.

text: New to this and all forums. I have a '05 Silverado SB 4X4 2500 HD Duramax with the Allison tranny. Love the truck. The wife and I tow a 2012 37ft Crossroads Rushmore 5th wheel. Just completed a 10,000 mile 21/2 month mid west trip. Broke my passenger mirror when I backed into my small new garage. The swivel broke off off the backing plate. Repaired that with epoxy only to have one of the adjuster posts brake off on instalation. Hopefully the dealer has them in stock.

Mainzeal liquidators were asked about the possibility of fraud at a creditors' meeting in Auckland today.
But the liquidators batted away questions, saying they were still at an early stage of investigations into the failure of what was New Zealand's third largest construction company.
Brian Mayo-Smith and Andrew Bethell of BDO Auckland answered most of the questions from more than 150 creditors who met at Ellerslie to talk about the collapse.
Creditors met today at 2.30pm and were dispersing just before 4pm, with the BDO liquidators promising to post a full list of the newly formed creditors' committee on its web site tomorrow morning.
One creditor wanted to know if the Serious Fraud Office was involved.
"We have not been contacted by the SFO, nor have we contacted them. Its far too early to say if there are any matters that require their attention," Mayo-Smith told the meeting.
About 200 Mainzeal workers were made redundant and hundreds of contractors were locked out from building sites following the collapse of the company in February.

Ward receives CGMC Legislator of Distinction Award
Rep. John Ward, DFL-Baxter, was recognized by the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities (CGMC) July 25 during the coalition's three-day summer conference in Bemidji for his positive impact on economic development policy.
Ward is serving his fourth term in the Minnesota House. The Legislator of Distinction Award is given to legislators who played key roles in advancing CGMC's policy during the preceding session.
Ward served as the House author of CGMC's legislation to provide more job training options for Greater Minnesota businesses. The proposal used escrowed tax dollars from the employees receiving the training to help pay for the training.
"Rep. Ward understood that this job training proposal could mean a lot more jobs in the manufacturing-heavy Brainerd lakes area he represents, so was an enthusiastic advocate," said Bruce Ahlgren, president of the CGMC and mayor of Cloquet. "His energy and flexibility were key to securing a hearing in the House Tax Committee. Though the bill was not ultimately passed into law this past session, Rep. Ward laid a strong foundation for progress in 2014."

text: If Agnes and Alissa both skated cleanly at Nationals or with comparable mistakes I think the judges would go with Agnes for sure at this point, and Alissa is just as inconsistent and likely to bomb relatively speaking as Agnes considering her age, injuries, history. There are also reports Alissa might not be able to get her spins back to the same level as before due to her back problems. If that is the case she is toast, as she just becomes a slow and cautious skater, with smallish and weak jumps (even landed), nice spirals, mediocre jump content, inconsistency, and no recent success to give her brownie points by.

Autism is the most common condition in a group of developmental disorders known as the autism spectrum disorders (asds). Autism is characterized by impaired social interaction, problems with verbal and nonverbal communication, and unusual, repetitive, or severely limited activities
Autistic children have difficulties with social interaction, problems with verbal and nonverbal communication, and repetitive behaviors and narrow obsessive interests.
Children with autism may fail to respond to their name and often avoid eye contact with other people. They have difficulty interpreting what others are thinking or feeling because they can't understand social cues, such as tone of voice or facial expressions, and don't watch other people's faces for clues about appropriate behavior. They often lack empathy and engage in repetitive movements such as rocking and twirling, they also tend to start speaking later than other children and may refer to themselves by name instead of "i" or "me." children with autism don't know how to play interactively with other children. Some speak in a sing-song voice about a narrow range of favorite topics, with little regard for the interests of the person to whom they are speaking. Many children with autism have a reduced sensitivity to pain, but are abnormally sensitive to sound, touch, or other sensory stimulation. These unusual reactions may contribute to behavioral symptoms.
Daily headache, Dr. told migraine and cavarnoma in brain. I am taking migranil but if I take it pain not appear for 2-3 hrs but again it spread through out the head. What I should to get rid of it?
A migraine is considered to be one of the worst headache of all. It causes excruciating pain along with a range of other symptoms. Notably, a migraine pain is very different in nature compared to general headache. A migraine pain is mostly felt on any one side of the brain. Since a migraine is difficult to diagnose, here is a list of 5 signs that will help you to understand, if your headache qualifies as a migraine:
- Vision splotches: It is very common among migraine patients to experience blind spots and a sudden flash of light. While this might appear to be a little unusual, it is pretty normal for migraine patients. The visual cortex of the brain is responsible for incidences like these. They often pace up and slow down to cause such unnatural feelings. For cases like this, the nerve gets activated by the optical lobe and crashes immediately resulting in such sensations. These visible auras are felt by both the eyes.
- A spinning sensation: A migraine patient often gets a swirling sensation. This requires them to immediately lie down. This is accompanied with nausea and throwing up. Certain migraine-induced changes caused in the brain causes hearing imbalance which is very similar to vertigo. These auras often serve as the onset of a migraine and can last for over one hour before the actual migraine cycle starts. If a person is suffering from these symptoms, it is a clear indication that he is suffering from a migraine.
- Light sensitivity: Migraine patients often becomes oversensitive to sound and light. This is perhaps the reason why most migraine sufferers like to spend more time in dark and solicitude. Studies have shown that sudden exposure to light activates the optic nerve fiber which in turn activates the pain receptors in the brain. A study conducted by the Nature Neuroscience journal conducted in the year 2010 showed that even blind person (with a migraine) suffers from a sudden glow of light.
- Touch sensitivity: Sensory auras often cause sharp pain from tiniest of touches. This is a condition known as the allodynia. This is a condition by which the spine and the brain get super excited by the inflamed blood vessels. This condition should be reported to a doctor since the most common medicine of a migraine does not work well if a patient is suffering from allodynia.
- Funny Face: Aura of the tongue, face and lips are known as cheiro-oral. There is a type of aura that makes even speaking and eating difficult. At time sufferers feel that they are suffering from serious diseases such as brain tumor. If this condition prevails, it makes sense to consult your doctor at the earliest and start medication.
Epilepsy is an abnormal medical condition due to abnormal electrical discharge from the brain, which could be due to genetic defects, brain injury,brain infection,brain tumor etc.
Recent study shows, patients with awareness, knowledge and attitude towards the disease had better health related quality of life.
- Do take your medicines at the prescribed times.
- Do make it known to your family members, friends and people who work with you that you are seizure-prone. Tell them what should be done in case you get an attack in their presence. This is nothing to be ashamed of as epilepsy is a medical condition just like high blood pressure. If your child has epilepsy, do inform the teacher and the school authorities about it.
- Do tell your child's teacher what to do if your child has a seizure.
- Do keep an accurate record of your seizures and their frequency. Preferably, maintain a seizure diary.
- Do ask your doctor about medicines for other conditions before taking them.
- Do follow a balanced diet.
- Do exercise regularly but avoid over-exertion.
- Do have good lighting in the room where you watch TV. TV picture flashes can trigger seizures. Good lighting can prevent such attacks.
- Do tell someone if you are going for a swim; swim only if your seizures are under control. Moreover, whenever possible, go swimming with a friend.
- Do talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of using contraceptive pills (medicines used by women to avoid unwanted pregnancy) along with your epilepsy medicines.
- Do wear protective headgear when cycling.
- Do tell your doctor about any ill effects that you experience.
- Do get a good night's sleep daily.
- Do make sure you have enough medicine so that you don't run short, even when you are travelling.
- Do check-in with your doctor regularly.
- Don't stop your treatment unless your doctor tells you to.
- Don't consume caffeine or alcohol excessively.
- Don't take other medicines without checking with your doctor.
- Don't lock the bathroom/toilet door, if possible.
- Don't smoke.
- Don't give others your medicines and don't take anyone else's medicines.
Myths and facts about epilepsy
Is epilepsy a very rare disorder?
No. Epilepsy is not a very rare disorder. Epilepsy affects 50 million people worldwide. In India, epilepsy has been identified as a public health problem.
Epilepsy is a mental illness?
It is not a mental illness but disorder of the brain.
Are people with epilepsy violent or crazy?
No. The belief that people with epilepsy are violent is an unfortunate image that is both wrong and destructive. People with epilepsy have no greater tendency toward severe irritability and aggressive behaviours than other people. However, once the attack is over, they return to normalcy and usually display normal behaviour in between attacks.
Are children with epilepsy dull?
Except for children who are born with obvious mental handicaps, children with epilepsy have normal intelligence and should be encouraged by parents and teachers to attend school and complete their education.
Is epilepsy a curse or wrath of God?
No. Epilepsy has nothing to do with curses, possession or other supernatural processes, such as punishment for past sins.
Does epilepsy spread through touching or coughing?
No, epilepsy does not spread through touching or coughing.
Does the use of an onion, metal, etc., help in terminating an ongoing epileptic attack?
No. Some people think that an epileptic attack can be terminated by making the person smell onions or dirty shoes, or by placing a metal key in the person's hand. These are irrational beliefs.
Are epilepsy medications ineffective?
No. Epilepsy medicines are very essential for the control of epileptic attacks and should not be neglected.
Is marriage a cure for epilepsy?
No. Marriage is an important aspect of life but not a cure for epilepsy.
Epilepsy is hereditary hence unfit to get married?
Epilepsy is not a hereditary disorder, and the tendency of epilepsy being passed is only about 3 %, therefore no bar for marriage.
Women suffering from epilepsy cannot have children?
Epilepsy or anti-epileptic drugs cannot affect fertility, even during pregnancy, women can take their medicines under their doctor's supervision.
Is life of a person with epilepsy miserable?
No. Life of a person with epilepsy can be very manageable and very similar to life of people without epilepsy provided you have a positive approach towards life.
Is epilepsy a hindrance in leading a happy and successful life?
No. People with epilepsy can live a happy and successful life. With the advent of newer medicines, availability of medical care and increased awareness of the condition, it has become possible for a person with epilepsy to lead a good life. There are many famous poets, writers and sportsmen with epilepsy who have excelled in their respective fields.
Special Precautions in Children with Epilepsy
Computerized and Lights:
Up to 5% of children with epilepsy have photosensitive epilepsy. Computers and TVs with a flat screen do not flicker and, so, are less likely to trigger seizures than screens that flicker. However, flashing lights/ flickering screen can act as trigger in photosensitive epilepsy patients.
Exams and Tests:
For Children who are likely to have seizures in stressful situations or at certain times of the day, this may affect how they perform in exams or tests. Tiredness, memory or concentration problems may also affect exams or tests. Tiredness, memory or concentration problems may also affect exams.
Physical Activities and Lessons:
Safety is important for all children, especially during physical activities and lessons, such as when studying science. Epilepsy does not need to stop a child from doing an activity as long as he or she is safe.
During Swimming:
This must be allowed only in the presence of trusted lifeguards. It is essential that the swimming coach and the lifeguards fully understand a child's epilepsy so they can quickly see if the child is having a seizure in the water.
Dementia is a general classification of a brain disease that causes a long haul and frequently steady abatement in the capacity to think and recall that is sufficiently incredible to influence a man's everyday functioning. Other normal manifestations incorporate passionate issues, issues with dialect, and a lessening in motivation. An individual's awareness is not influenced. The most common example of dementia is the Alzheimer's disease.
Physiotherapy for Dementia:
A patient with dementia can benefit from physiotherapy regardless of the possibility that the patient can't perceive their own family. Physiotherapy, notwithstanding, can be of good advantage to the individual who has dementia and also their family and parental figures at different stages. The principle explanation behind this is that recovery administrations can help the dementia patient to be as utilitarian as would be prudent for whatever length of time that is conceivable. Here are 5 ways physiotherapy benefits an Alzheimer's patient:
- Physiotherapy can keep up the Alzheimer's patient's freedom and mobility as much as one could expect reasonably. A physiotherapist can outline a home activity program and work intimately with relatives to administer to the Alzheimer's patient.
- Physiotherapists, as independent experts, embrace much detailed, separately custom-made appraisals of the disorders, action confinements and restrictions imposed upon individuals with dementia.
- The caretakers of individuals with dementia regularly show weakness when contrasted with their same aged companions. Physiotherapy helps with diminishing the weight of consideration by instructing caregivers to provide encouragement and upliftment to individuals with dementia.
- Patients with dementia are always at a risk of falling down and hurting themselves. Poor balance accounts for the danger of falls. This can be worked upon and improved by physiotherapy driven exercises. Exercise can have a huge and positive effect on behavioral and mental indications of dementia, enhancing psychological capacity and mindset, which can decrease the doses of strong medicines. Special exercise routines are assigned to the patients which help improve their body balance while walking.
- Physiotherapy has crucial influence in advancing and keeping up portability of individuals with dementia. It assumes a basic part in the end of life consideration by overseeing situations, seating and complicated muscle contracture. Individuals with dementia regularly experience issues in communicating pain. Pain influences cognizance, inspiration and reaction to any intervention. Physiotherapists are specialists in recognizing and treating pain in dementia patients and give training to care home staff and caregivers of the patients.
Physiotherapy is very important for dementia patients. Regular physiotherapy sessions are beneficial for patients for improvement in condition. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a physiotherapist.
Epilepsy is a disease that affects the brain's nerve cells and triggers the release of abnormal electrical signals. This can cause temporary malfunctioning of the other brain cells and result in sudden loss of consciousness. Epilepsy can affect both children and adults.
Epilepsy can be treated in a number of ways. One of the most preferred forms of treatment is homeopathy. Homeopathy addresses both the physical symptoms of the disease and the underlying factors triggering it. Another big advantage of homeopathic treatment is that it has negligible side effects.
A few homeopathic remedies that can be used to treat epilepsy are:
- Cicuta: Cicuta is very effective when used to treat cases of epilepsy where convulsions are marked by violent, body distortions. This can include the horrific backward bending of the spine. These convulsions also make the person's face turn blue and trigger a locked jaw. This can also be used to effectively treat epilepsy cases triggered by head injuries and worms.
- Artemisia Vulgaris: This is used to often treat cases of Petit Mal Epilepsy which are characterized by staring into space, leaning forwards or backwards and stopping a sentence abruptly. It also addresses fear that triggers epileptic attacks.
- Stramonium: Convulsions triggered by exposure to bright lights or shiny objects can be treated with this homeopathic remedy. In such cases, the patient may not lose consciousness but experiences jerks in the muscles of the upper body.
- Cuprum Met: This homeopathic remedy is used to treat seizures that are preceded by experiencing an aura in the knees. Other symptoms that characterize this sort of an epileptic attack are spasms that begin in the fingers and toes and gradually spread to the rest of the body and jerking of muscles. This can also be used to treat convulsions that accompany menstruation and follow the delivery of a baby.
- Bufo Rana: Not all epileptic attacks occur you are awake. Attacks that occur in your sleep can be treated with bufo rana. Such epileptic attacks are accompanied by experiencing an aura in the genital regions. This is especially helpful for women who experience seizures during menstruation.
- Hyoscyamus: Some epileptic fits are followed by a deep sleep. This type of epileptic attacks can be treated with Hyoscyamus. Other symptoms addresses by this homeopathic medicine are fidgeting with bed clothes, fidgeting with fingers and muscular twitching.
These homeopathic remedies can be taken on their own or in combination with other medicines. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a homeopath.
Please help me out. I had seizure 3.8 years ago and after it my treatment get started as CTSCAN was normal but there were focal bilateral temporal spikes noticed in EEG. I have completed the treatment of three years without any further seizure and till 3 years I was on same dosage of medication, on completion of treatment EEG was again performed and as per doctor there was bit improvement but still like Right focal temporal spikes noticed, Since I was seizure free so doctor asked to stop medication by decreasing the dosage gradually. In mid March I have stopped medication and I am seizure free till date. Since there is no guarantee in medical science but still I have few questions coz I am bit depressed and worried. 1.This seizure indicates I am suffering from epilepsy or it is possible that a person had one seizure only in life time and get cured after treatment? 2. precautions I have to take so seizure will not trigger again or any home remedies/supplements which I take to cure this?
What is the symptoms of migraine? Mostly I suffer from headache n d pain is also in ear n mouth area. So is the symptoms of migraine? What should I do?
Hey doctor my hands are shivering when doing something seriously what is the reason for that and suggest how can I change that.
Sir I have a problem whenever I do a little work or even doing nothing my hands remain shivering I am only 25 years old.
A migraine is a headache that causes a distinct pulsating pain, usually in one side of the head. It is different from normal headaches in the sense that the pain is much more intense and it may be accompanied by nausea or vomiting as well. Some patients have also complained about light sensitivity while others have also complained about pain in all areas of the head.
Some of the factors that separate a migraine from a normal headache are as follows:
While a headache may last at best a day, migraines may last longer, sometimes even up to 3 days.
- Feelings of nausea or actual vomiting
- Sensitivity to light
- Extreme sensitivity to changes in sound
Causes behind migraine
Some of the common and known causes, which may trigger migraines in people are:
- Hormonal changes in the body that may have adverse effects
- Dehydration is also known to trigger migraines
- Patients with hypoglycemia may also face migraines if the blood sugar level drops within their body
- 4 Change in air pressure due to change in altitude may also cause migraines to appear
- Lack of sleep
- Stress
- Lifestyle issues such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
Homeopathic Approach
The role of Homeopathy is to break the recurrence of the headaches and cure them completely.
For which we need to understand what allopathic pain killers do and what constitutional Homeopathic treatment do
With Constitutional Homeopathic Treatment the frequency, intensity and duration of migraine attacks goes down and the things which generally are able to precipitate migraine , if are not able to, then only it can be claimed to be cured.
The role of pain killers and antacids are basically to tide over the acute phase or provide comfort for the time being.
That is why the coming together of Allopathy, to control acute attack and Homeopathy, to cure it completely, will prove to be a new form of synthesis which will be a boon for the society.
What are the symptoms of dengue or which medicine to take for migraine. Which medicine take for paralysis.

Hi Doctor, My father is 62 years old, he was suffered left paralysis after stoke on 14th april 2017. He has BP problem also. Now his body has moment but his hands and feet got swell. Is this normal to swell feet and hands after physiotherapy,
Insomnia is the condition of acute sleeplessness, and it takes a heavy toll on your mood, your energy levels, and your ability to concentrate and work during the day. Some of the most common symptoms of the condition are:
- You find it difficult to fall asleep even if you are tired
- Once you wake up in the middle of the night, you cannot get back to sleep
- You cannot work or concentrate on anything during the day
- You stay mostly fatigued, or irritated throughout the day
- You have to depend on pills or alcohol to fall asleep.
- You wake up very early in the morning, no matter how late you sleep
What could be the causes for insomnia?
Insomnia might last just a few days if it is induced by some temporary cause, like stress at your workplace, or any other personal issue you can be facing. However, when the cause is a long rooted one, insomnia might persist for a long time. There can be a mix of many causes for that to happen:
- Psychological stress or other emotional discomforts - Common psychological problems like anxiety, depression, chronic work stress, grief, and also bipolar disorder can be the causes for insomnia.
- Illness or other medical problems - There can be many medical causes or other illnesses at the root of insomnia like allergies, acute asthma, hyperthyroidism, Parkinson's disease, kidney related diseases and cancer as well.
- Medications - There can be many drugs, which might be prescribed by your doctor, but still be responsible for insomnia. These include antidepressants, corticosteroids like thyroid hormone medicines, few blood pressure medications, certain contraceptives and stimulants for ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
- Sleep Disorders - Insomnia, though in itself is a sleep disorder, can also be the symptoms for other sleep disorders like sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and other disorders related to jet lag or if you are working on a late night shift.
In addition to these causes, some daily lifestyle habits might act as triggers to insomnia, which include:
- Consumption of large amounts of caffeine on a regular basis
- Developing irregular sleep schedules
- Taking your smartphone to bed and ending up spending a lot of time with it in the night
- Eating late in the evening
Alzheimer's Disease is a neurological problem that is characterised by a cognitive decline and memory loss. It is a type of neurodegenerative dementia. The symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease include not being able to absorb and retain new information, lack of reasoning and judging, not being able to take on complex tasks, impaired visuospatial abilities, problems in reading, writing and speech, among many others. If a person has at least two of these symptoms in a debilitating manner, then the diagnosis can be made in favour of Alzheimer's Disease. The main causes of Alzheimer's are shrinkage of the brain size and death of the brain cells. The immune system is also said to trigger this neurodegenerative disease.
Let us find out what medical science has found so far:
- Connections: Many a times, in Alzheimer's disease, the memory and behaviour of the person changes because the brain is unable to make proper neural connections which can lead to memory loss of how a person behaved and the elements that formed the basis of the patient's cognition. Apparently, the immune system behaves in the same way within the brain and blocks the connection. This happens because there is constant communication between the brain and immune system along neurological lines, which is where the disease first emanates.
- Inflammation: The brain is prone to inflammation or swelling that is not the normal kind. This inflammation happens as a result of the activation of the infection fighting neurotransmitters and the chemical changes that happen in the brain when an infection strikes. The inflammation usually happens in the plaques or clumps which the brain tries to protect. These clumps are made up of a protein called Amyloid. The immune system is responsible for creating this inflammation in the brain of the patient.
- Pattern Recognition Receptors: Many of these receptors work in different manners and cooperate with each other to create a response in the brain. These PRRs can be found in the brain plaques, and they develop the signs of danger which further fuels the inflammation in the brain as a matter of protection.
- Activation of Cells Linked with the Immune System: When the PRRs begin to respond, it basically activates the immune system and the cells of the same. This is the basic reaction that causes the changes in brain which then leads to the attachment of the protein to the tissue that is diseased, in which case Alzheimer's Disease starts. The inflammation that we had spoken about earlier basically happens in the nervous tissue.
It is important to recognise and act on the initial signs of Alzheimer's Disease before it progresses beyond one's control. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Neurosurgeon.

Our teams were the Rhythm Section (cellist and guitarist David Bentley, multi-instrumentalist and recordist Elio DeLuca, bassist Nicholas Ward, and drummer Matthew Glover — erstwhile of Lights) versus (name not our choice) the Divas (myself, horn player Brian Rutledge and big HTH cheese Ryan Walsh). No wagers were made; the usual competitive machismo that energizes bowling (or ping-pong) seemed quelled by an aura of unity. When Walsh slipped and fell on his ass on his first ball, it came off like a leader yelling, "Charge!"
"It took me a long time to convince myself that everything I was doing wasn't totally embarrassing," he tells me on the phone a week later. When he started out writing songs, he'd record little albums, burn them to CD, bang out some artwork, and suffer acute humiliation on reviewing the results. It's like seeing a low total at the end of a string: often you don't feel those gutter balls until you look at the score sheet. It's a strong proverbial bowler who keeps on proverbially bowling.
It's hard to imagine these hesitant first attempts, if only because Hallelujah the Hills are (and have been from their beginnings three years ago) one of Boston's most confident-sounding bands. That they've always rolled deep on stage (all those people!) doesn't hurt, but it's their sound that stands out. Pitchforkian shorthand might produce some horrible "Elephant 6 imprisoned in Pollard's basement" fiasco, and it wouldn't be all wrong, but comparisons to other acts shortchange the point. Walsh's voice as a singer and a writer is distinctive. His singing can slip from tremulous neighs to chummy narration; his writing tethers together dozens of disparate rock traditions, new and old, to create a kind of über-Americana propelled by the energy of its own abundance. And as a lyricist, he's as skilled a craftsman of catchy quips as he is a trusty guide into abstraction.
Throughout our string, I tug Walsh for answers about the songs off Colonial Drones — their second album for California's Misra Records, to be released Saturday at Great Scott. Although the tracks all bear the same explosive sonic spirit (they were done over the course of six months at DeLuca's all-analog Soul Shop studio), the agreeable ease of these songs belies their many poetic complexities.
Walsh's lyric landscape on Drones is littered with unlabeled tapes, unmarked boxes, empty picture frames, unreadable schematics, and blank passports — information and emotion seem less vital than their residues. Meanwhile, entire histories overlap. Someone is "washing dishes during the civil war" in "Variations on the Grand National Championships" and "serious American composers drift into the room" with each refrain of "Blank Passports." As with the music, there's a striking (often jarring) lyric multiplicity at work in Walsh's songs — familiarity in strangeness, idiom in abstraction.

text: Is there a difference between black and honey locust trees? My boss has several locust trees in his yard without thorns that he says root very easily, however he isn't sure if it is honey or black locust. Is there a difference when it comes to bees? He says the blooms are very fragrant and abundant. Any ideas? Thanks.
