Benjamin Bradley (inventor)

Benjamin Bradley was born a slave in Maryland, around 1830, but became an engineer and inventor.
Although it was against the law to teach a slave how to read or write because they would demand rights. Bradley learned literacy from his Master's children. Bradley was also good at mathematics, and showed a natural talent for making things. As a teenager, Bradley was put to work at an office where he built a working steam engine from pieces of scrap metal. Others were so impressed with Bradley's mechanical skills that he was given a job as an assistant in the science department at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland where he set up and helped conduct experiments. Professors at the Naval Academy were impressed with Bradley, saying he was smart, a quick learner, and did not make mistakes. Bradley was paid in full for his work, but the money he had made went to his Master, who allowed Bradley to keep five dollars a month for himself.
Bradley had not forgotten his work with steam engines. He saved the money he earned, and sold his original model engine to a student at the Academy. Bradley then used his savings to develop and build an engine large enough to run the first steam-powered warship. Because he was a slave, Bradley was not allowed to get a patent for the engine he developed. He was, however, able to sell the engine and keep the money, which he used to buy his freedom. He lived the rest of his life as a free man.
Benjamin Bradley's name appears in few books, perhaps because he was not able to get a patent for his work. Just as there was disagreement over the issue of slavery, there was also disagreement over whether a slave should be allowed to hold a patent. Some people said anyone who came up with an original idea should be allowed to patent it. It should not matter whether that person was free or a slave. Others said that, because he, a slave, was his or her master's property, anything that a slave produced, including ideas, belonged to the master. In 1857, however, a slave owner named Oscar Stewart applied for a patent on something one of his slaves had invented. Stewart argued that he owned all the results of his slave's labor, whether that work had been manual. Despite the laws, the Patent Office agreed. The patent was granted, giving Stewart credit for the invention. The slave who actually came up with the idea (a cotton-processing device) is mentioned in the patent only as "Ned." Because of the decision in the Stewart case, the patent law was changed to say that a slave could not hold a patent. When the Confederate States broke away from the United States in 1861, the Confederate government surprised many people by once again allowing slaves to hold patents. After the Civil War, however, the patent law was changed again, specifying that all people throughout the United States had the right to patent their own inventions. Benjamin Bradley's cause of death was unknown.

By David Grossman, special for USA TODAY
U.S. airlines collected more than $7.8 billion in ancillary fees in 2009, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and that number is up more than 40% over the previous year. Ancillary fees now comprise 6.5% of all airline revenue. With such compelling numbers, it is certain those pesky ancillary fees are here to stay and will go higher still as airlines concoct new ways to extract additional funds from travelers.
While travelers detest paying those fees, corporate travel managers have an additional complaint. In most cases those who manage the travel bookings and budgets for their companies are unable to identify and track those ancillary fees to determine the full, true cost of an airline ticket.
The need to track and monitor airline ancillary fees was a major discussion topic among more than 700 corporate travel managers and travel suppliers attending the recent Global Education Conference of the Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE).
So many fees, so many ways to pay
Airline ancillary fees take many forms. Many airlines now charge for in-flight meals, checked luggage, upgrades to first/business class or exit rows and itinerary changes. Travelers may also pay to use an airport lounge, purchase a pillow, a blanket, a headset or in-flight Wi-Fi access. Some airlines are even charging fees for seat selection, credit card purchases and extra miles.
At a well-attended keynote session at the ACTE conference, representatives from American Express, Continental Airlines and the travel manager from WellPoint, Inc., squared off to discuss unbundled airfares and those controversial ancillary fees.
One problem is that airline ancillary fees are often paid at multiple points of sale. A traveler might purchase an upgrade at the time of booking or online check-in, pay for checked luggage at the airport ticket counter, buy a day pass at the airline lounge, purchase Wi-Fi access, a drink and a meal in-flight and incur an itinerary change fee when business plans are altered en route.
According to Prashanth Kuchibhotla of American Express Business Travel, a panelist at the ACTE ancillary fees session, only 30% of airline ancillary fees are incurred at the time of ticketing. This point of sale issue will be compounded as an ever increasing number of travelers transact with airlines using mobile phones. Two years from now half of all airline ancillary fees will be purchased by business travelers through a mobile device, projects Jim Davidson, President & CEO of Farelogix, who moderated the ACTE panel.
Bringing these separate transactions under one umbrella and associating them with the correct traveler and the original ticket purchase is a challenge most airlines cannot meet yet. This means corporate travel managers must rely on traveler submitted expenses to calculate the true cost of travel.
Using a corporate credit card for all travel purchases can help identify ancillary expenses, but the card statements often lack enough detail to determine what was purchased and which fees are associated with each ticket. The lack of transparency also makes it more difficult to select flights based on total price since many of these charges are not visible at the time of booking and each airline assesses different fees at different price points.
Even if ancillary charges are posted to a corporate credit card or travelers submit these charges in an expense report, the corporation often cannot determine if the purchase is a legitimate, reimbursable expense. While fees for checking luggage, purchasing a meal in-flight or using on-board Wi-Fi access might be permissible expenses for most corporations, purchasing upgrades, alcoholic beverages or in-flight movies may not be acceptable charges and the corporate travel manager often can't readily tell the difference for each expense.
Travel policies vary from corporation to corporation, but even within the same company, reimbursable expenses may differ by job title, length of trip or destination. In addition, airlines often waive fees for checked luggage or other services for those travelers with elite status in that airline's mileage program. Waiving fees for some passengers only compounds expense tracking and travel policy compliance monitoring for corporate travel managers.
How much does that ticket really cost?
Corporate travel managers also need to determine their company's entire airline ticket spend to negotiating better airfares with preferred airlines. It is therefore not in the best interest of airlines to provide transparency for aggregating ancillary fees. Many corporate travel managers have expressed interest in "pre-purchasing" ancillary airline services to better control their travel budgets or to negotiate some or all of those fees away completely.
Corporations often seek to include hotel amenities, like free breakfast or Wi-Fi access or rental car upgrades as part of their negotiated rates and many corporate travel managers want the airlines to bundle some or all ancillary fees into their corporate airfare contracts.
Solving the problem of identifying and tracking ancillary fees will require a combined, coordinated, collaborative industry effort. Some airlines have created their own products for tracking ancillary fees, but this is of limited value to most large corporations that cannot depend on a single airline for all of their travel requirements.
The International Air Transport Association has created a set of standards for handling ancillary fees, but it will take several years for airlines and the computer systems used by most travel agents to adopt these standards.
Meanwhile, the National Business Travel Association (NBTA) is organizing a global task force focused on the management of airline ancillary fees. The task force will develop "best practices" to solve the issues created by ancillary fees. Task force members include airlines, credit card companies, expense reporting system vendors, technology providers, travel agencies and corporate travel managers.
Each participant in the air travel purchase and auditing process will have to modify their systems to adopt the IATA or NBTA standards and best practices. Until then, corporate airline customers will have to rely on their travelers and often sketchy credit card data to attempt to monitor and track their spend on airline ancillary fees.

Monsanto Develops Hardier Strain Of Corn That Yields 4 Times Normal Litigation | The Onion
Dawn Casey-Rowe stashed this in Natural Eating
Stashed in: Intellectual Property, Awesome, That's not food., Food Industry
Agricultural biotech giant Monsanto unveiled its latest strain of genetically modified corn Wednesday, claiming that the new, hardier seed yields 400 percent more litigation against small independent farms than the company's previous GMO products. "We are excited to introduce our newest variety of corn, which is capable of producing up to 1,000 patent infringement cases per growing season," said Monsanto spokesman Richard Gringell, explaining that this proprietary strain of the large cereal grain had been carefully engineered to withstand even the harshest countersuits. "Moreover, our new variety can cross-pollinate with nearby farmers' crops three times faster, generating new targets for legal action much more efficiently than before. In fact, just one acre of our new corn is able to bankrupt as many family farmers as 10 acres of our previous formula. It's a huge leap forward for our company." Gringell added that the particularly robust and litigious variety of corn only requires three lawyers to prosecute, saving on average $1,500 per hour the company can then allocate toward developing new pesticides whose resulting birth defects can't be traced.
Part of me thinks the world would be better off if someone (The government? The mob? Angry consumers?) wiped Monsanto off the planet.
It seems like one of the corporations the world would miss least if ever it were to cease to exist.
Here's my moral issue: I planted nonGMO stuff and it died. But then, when I replaced it with garden store plants, huge, success... I want to research the types of improvements that really help plants vs. the ones that make Frankenplants, like Roundup-enabled genes...
So, it's The Onion...some of the nation's best satire. I think I'm supposed to cry, though...
The best satire often makes you cry instead of laugh because of how truths it is.
True. I feel that way when I write a lot... Like, I can't find the line between laughing and crying. That's when I know it's good.

text: 18. Dallas Cowboys (9-7) Top five needs: FS, OT, CB, NT, OG The pick: +Donte Whitner, S, Ohio State The Cowboys would love to trade down to get a better value for an offensive tackle such as Auburn's Marcus McNeill. Drafting Holmes is also a possibility if he's available here, but coach Bill Parcells doesn't like to draft wide receivers in the first round and the team already has a load of money locked up in that position with the recent acquisition of Terrell Owens. So, if the Cowboys are stuck with this pick, Whitner makes the most sense. The team needs an intelligent, speedy free safety to complement SS Roy Williams and Whitner is the ideal match. He emerged as a true playmaker during his junior season at Ohio State and his 40-yard dash time of 4.38 seconds helped catapult him into first-round consideration.

View for cataract patients gets clearer
July 19, 2007
The view for patients undergoing cataract surgery at New Hanover Regional Medical Center is getting a whole lot clearer thanks to a new generation of artificial lens implants. "These lenses go above and beyond simply clearing a person's vision," said Byron Stratas, MD, a Wilmington ophthalmologist. "In many instances they can dramatically reduce, or completely eliminate, a person's dependence on prescription eyeglasses." In existence for more than five decades, the intraocular lense, or IOL, is used to replace the eye's clouded crystalline lens during cataract surgery.Until a few years ago, all intraocular lenses were monofocal, meaning they provided good vision at one set distance, usually far away. But for objects up close or near-vision activities like reading or knitting, cataract patients still had to wear eyeglasses, which for some meant the burden of extremely thick lenses. "That's all changed now," Dr. Stratas said. "New technology has allowed a lot more customization of lenses, so we can very dramatically and safely improve a cataract patient's vision over a variety of distances, be it near, far or in between … and most patients become eyeglass-free." Known by brand names such as ReSTOR, ReZoom and Crystalens, these new multifocal lenses made of plastic or acrylic are designed with several different optic zones allowing a person to see close up and at distances without glasses. Specialized IOLs like the Crystalens even work in conjunction with the eyes' muscles to achieve "accomodation," or the eye's natural ability to change focus from distant objects to objects closer. Still another intraocular lens type, the Toric IOL, corrects for astigmatism, a condition where vision is blurred because of an irregularly shaped cornea. "Multifocal lenses have revolutionized cataract lens replacement surgery," said Alan Brown, MD, a Wilmington eye surgeon. "They make a big, big improvement in a patient's lifestyle and happiness, allowing them in most cases freedom from glasses." Insertion of a multifocal lens begins with removal under local anesthesia of the cataract through a very tiny incision on the side of the cornea, the clear, dome-shaped surface covering the front of the eye. Once the clouded lens has been removed, the multifocal lens is inserted through the same incision, where without stitches it remains a permanent part of the eye. In most instances, surgery time for the outpatient procedure lasts between five and 10 minutes. "It's quite a gift," said cataract patient Mary Vlahos. "I know a lot of people who had lens replacement surgery for cataracts and still needed glasses after it." Vlahos, who wore glasses for 54 years, said the difference in her vision before and after receiving multifocal lens implants at NHRMC under Dr. Stratas was dramatic, a difference that today leaves her eyeglass-free. "It's amazing to me how they corrected my vision so rapidly," she said. "No pain - nothing. I came out seeing. My vision was 20/400 before surgery. The next day it was 20/30. Within a week, it was 20/15." "The feedback from patients receiving the new lenses is that their vision is greatly improved," said Deborah Sholar, RN, NHRMC's Ambulatroy Surgery Unit coordinator. "They're just amazed and so excited." "As people age, they depend more and more on their eyes for enjoyment," Dr. Brown said. "Cataract surgery with premium lenses is a life-changing investment that makes most patients feel younger and more free. I feel privileged to be a part of this advancement in eye care." With only minor post-operative restictions, patients generally make a fast, painless recovery, Sholar said. "Most patients' vision is clear the following day, and most patients are resuming normal activities," she said. "Because of these new lenses, people are seeing life in a whole new way."
For a referral to an ophthalmologist who performs lens replacement surgery, call VitaLine at 815.5188.

Rowan: Though It May Cost Me My LifeMature
Rowan wakes up and he sees himself lying on a mattress that is placed on the ground in a rather large hut. He sits up, feeling good, and stands up. He looks around and walks out of the hut, still feeling a bit weak in his walking.
As he looks, he sees some sort of meat roasting over a spit. Realizing his hunger, he walks over and tears off a leg, devouring it viciously. Many people around here stare at him, anxious for something. Then, a woman comes and sits next to him.
"Hello." He greets, trying to be kind. "Who are you?"
"I'm Kate; do you know where you are?"
"Yeah, I'm in the Night Hawks base, and quite relieved to be here too. I'd die if I had to stay in the forest or even if someone had sent me back to the town. I've done too many good things." He smiles at her, proud of his achievements.
"What did you do?"
"Well, I looked around the city and I was disgusted by what I saw. And so I sought to change it. I killed two guards for trying to rape a woman who was out after curfew. I freed the sheriff's homemade brothel made by women from the town. Then, I freed everyone in the prisons who were there because of you guys. I put them in a carriage, intending to drive them to the town down the road where I had already made plans with the villagers there to take these fellows in. But, Corin came in before I could get them out. So the prisoners left as I fought Corin. But, a dagger is nowhere near as good as sword for fighting. I knew he was going to win, especially when he slashed my arm. So I ran away, he chased me with his horse, I prayed, and miraculously, someone shot him in the shoulder. I'm glad you allowed me to join. We need to take back the city for God and take it away from those people in the government who are so corrupt."
"Wow, you did good."
"Only recently, before that... let's just say I wasn't a very good person."
"Okay. Well, I guess you can stay here. And when you're well you can help us with raids."
He nods knowingly, "Alright."
Kate leaves him as he continues eating his breakfast. Then he sees him. Leonard. His face was older and beard more wild, but I could not forget those eyes. Leonard. The color drains from Rowan's face as he looks intently at him. Then, a memory flashes before his eyes.
"Ah! Die you worms!" Rowan yells, thrusting his sword through the peasants who dared revolt against him. "You shall pay for the death of my wife!"
Their screams for mercy fall on deaf ears. He has no mercy. Not since they took away the only thing he cared about in this world.
"No, Marshal Rowan Kerr, stop please!" A woman yells, younger than most, she could only have been sixteen or seventeen. Uncaring and in a terrifying rage he runs her through with his blade, killing her.
After his murder of a hundred innocents, he writes a letter to the King of England telling him of a rebellion, which had claimed the life of his wife, and Rowan tells him of his drastic measures to cleanse it from the streets.
Later that day he wanders through the streets, trotting on his horse when he sees a man weeping over the young girl he had slain. The guards hadn't cleaned up the mess yet.
The man, after seeing Rowan yells out. "Do you know my name Marshal!"
"Then know it and remember always. I am Leonard Dominos and for the life of my little sister, Catherine, I will put a stake through your heart like the vampire you are. Go to Hell!"
"How dare you speak to me with such impudence, peasant!" Rowan says, dropping from his horse and drawing his sword. "It would be a wise idea to run, before you join her in the grave!"
With hatred burning in his eyes Leonard ran.
A lone tear falls down Rowan's face as he folds his hands in a silent prayer. He stands up and feels his heart beat like the running of a rabbit as he strolls toward him. Leonard sees him, the same hatred burning in his eyes as Rowan buckles onto his knees and then bows before him.
"Call me Griever."
"Griever, my life does belong to you. You have the right to take it as you please. However, that I may ask you one thing. To stay your blade until the deliverance of this town is finished. Then, willingly will I bow my head before you one last time and you may take what is so rightfully yours for something I took that wasn't mine so long ago."
"Your request, I grant it. Though I give you mercy you never showed me."
He breathes a deep sigh of relief. "Thank you."
He stands up and turns away from Griever as he goes back to the spit where he was eating.

I'm the new guy... be nice
So I'm strongly considering the idea of living aboard. As it is right now I live in a 450 sq ft log cabin with no cable and no internet (I'm posting from work) and thats too much space for me. I grew up on the water and like small living quarters so I figure it would be a good fit. I would like to know what I'm getting into... Any advice would be great. To be more to the point, I am most concerned about cost of living and maintenance. I thinking between 30'-35'.
Welcome aboard! And living abaord is great... just think of your back yard!!
You might find 150sq.ft. a wee bit tight if you're thinking 30-35 ft. Just remember if you don't like the current backyard. With a boat you can always obtain a new one by just moving........i2f
Ya, my buddy has a 30' and i liked the size. I do have a four year old son and I'm wondering what kind of stress that would put on him. I live in the northwest and our winters are rainy and unpleasant.
Where are you planning on doing this. Living aboard would be easier in some parts of the country over others. Finding a marina that allows live aboards can be a problem in some areas too. There are blogs out there of folks currently livingaboard and you can learn quite a bit from their experiences.
In the PNW, a poorly insulated boat is going to cause you condensation problems in the winter time. The previous owner of our boat lived on board down at Shilshoal for 13 years. It has insulated hulls and a good heat source that improved the quality of life considerably.
The child will be fine if you can work out a system where he can burn off energy, and not keep him cooped up. Might bring in a whole new structure to your relationship. You won't be the first to raise a child in small quarters. BEST WISHES in working things out in your favor......i2f
Ya, I have been reading some studies about children raised on boats with some impressive results for sure. One of my other concerns is the maintenance of the vessel. I have read so many different points of view that my head is spinning. I understand that certain boats can be less resilient the forces of nature, but it would be nice to have a ballpark idea of the boats needs. Is there anything to steer clear of for a new boater? Also any suggestions of a boat which might suit my needs?
Especially what use you intend for the boat.....i2f

Tree Huggers Ball
The summertime (when the weather is high you can stretch right up and touch the sky) is closer in the eastern OC foothills. And when the weather is fine, you got women on your mind (or men), so make a dinner date that comes with folk music, bluegrass, Woody Guthrie sing-alongs and a bitchin Grateful Dead cover bandnot to mention proceeds going to wildlands preservation (which will impress the pants off your special him or her). Canyon Land Conservation Fund works year-round to preserve the last of the wilderness within OCs Cleveland National Forest, so check out this hip eco-outfit and arrange a romantic summer evening at the Fifth Annual Tree Huggers Ball, hosted by groovy canyon folk who are stewards of this land. Theyll serve dinner under the stars and the oak canopy, complete with dancing and, yes, exhibitors of eco-friendly products to make everybody smart and energy-efficient. Your date will dig your inner John Muir.

Science is more than just a class you had to take in high school; it's also what the people who taught those classes do in their free time. Enrich yourself with this Groupon.
Choose from Four Options
- $5 for one-day admission for two adults (up to an $11.50 value)

Four permanent exhibitions document Nova Scotia's natural history, covering everything from the history of the Mi'kmaq and Acadians to the area's geology and marine life. Alongside these exhibits, the Museum of Natural History is hosting Illegal Killer Trade through January 13. Poachers and polluters make tremendous amounts of money exploiting endangered species and their habitats, and this exhibit forces visitors to consider the power of their purchasing decisions. After passing through a "customs checkpoint," guests behold a cornucopia of food products, clothing and accessories, and souvenirs—including some that have been confiscated by Canada's actual border patrol. After learning about the environmental repercussions of these items, they must choose a memento, but choose wisely; the customs officers search each exiting guest with an endangered-species detector.
Museum of Natural History
Surprisingly spry for a 90-year-old, Gus the gopher tortoise greets Museum of Natural History visitors while strolling around the premises and snacking on clover and dandelions. As the museum's mascot for more than six decades, Gus has amassed a substantial following, and he keeps his 1,500+ Facebook friends abreast of the latest goings-on at his home's seven permanent galleries. Unearthed tools, arrowheads, and Tupperware of the Mi'kmaq and Acadian peoples await in the archaeology exhibit, and the pre-contact culture, religion, and language of Nova Scotia come to life in the ethnology hall. Life-sized models of feathered bipeds and four-legged furballs lurk in the mammals-and-birds gallery. Live snakes, frogs, salamanders, and honeybees call Netukulimk home, embodying a Mi'kmaq conception of the relationship between the human and natural worlds.

angelus adeo suus.
Hmm…I thought, peering out of the window. I predict another pointless, boring day. Like yesterday. And the day before. And the day before that, and the day before that…
I sighed and leaned my forehead against the cool glass. It appears that you, Minuet Winters, have an extremely monotonous life.
At this (oft-repeated) thought, I lifted my head and stared around my room. I sat in the seat of a wide, tall window that allowed in the golden evening light. Dust motes floated and shimmered in the sunlight as I examined my surroundings.
Not much had changed since I came to Bellview Psychiatric Hospital at the age of twelve. The walls were the same white, paneled halfway down with a dark, mahogany-looking wood. The ceiling was high and sloped upwards towards the door, disappearing into muted shadows. The floor was the same sleek, warm wood as the wall paneling. Even the furniture was unchanged: a simple, quilt-covered bed, a bedside table, and a wooden wardrobe for my clothes.
No need to go overboard in a mental hospital.
I shifted on the windowseat cushion and sighed again. A cloud of golden dust motes swirled away from my breath. Dust, I thought. This place is full of nothing but dust and sorrow and old memories. How long had it been? Five years…five years of nothing. Nothing but psychoanalysts and private tutors, other sad, quiet mental patients and the occasional sane, friendly person—who, of course, left as soon as I began to be comfortable with them. Nothing but grey and gold and dust and long, empty hallways.
And the angels, of course.
It's really the angels' fault that I was at Bellview. I saw the first one when I was seven. I was in our apartment kitchen, struggling to pour myself a glass of water with my childish, inept hands. I remember sticking out my tongue in concentration. Mother and Father were in the living room, watching the telly.
I stood on tiptoe to reach the counter better. My balance wavered, I wobbled slightly, and the empty glass slipped from my hand, falling towards the tile floor…
A hand snapped out and caught it before it had fallen more than a foot. I looked up. A very tall man stood before me, holding the glass and radiating a reassuring light. His wings were large, violet, and very soft-looking. I smiled and, reaching out a hand, brushed one's feathers lightly. It felt like silk and the doves my aunt kept, when I picked them up and they nestled in my hands, warm and smooth and alive.
He crouched down to my level and I dropped my hand back to my side. His eyes were very serious. "You are Minuet," he said, and his voice sounded like rain tap-tapping on my window and people whispering in the church pews.
I nodded. "Yes." My fingers strayed to his wing again. "Are you an angel?"
His eyes were very sad and the color of Sunday Mass communion wine. "I was."
"Was?" I repeated childishly, frowning.
"I made a mistake." His Christ-blood eyes pleaded. "I want to take it back. You can help me. Make them listen." His beautiful voice was hushed and urgent. I felt like something was horribly wrong with him for some reason. Was he sick? …He was too sad. I'd never seen someone so sad.
"Tell them I take it back. Tell them I'm sorry."
"Tell who?" I asked, brow furrowed in confusion.
"The Council of Angels. They will listen to you. You are Minuet." He kept repeating that. Why would they listen to me? Why was I so special?
"Mister Angel…I don't think…do angels listen to people...?" I trailed off. His eyes were drilling into me, burgundy splotches of drying blood. I shrugged. Fine. Maybe angels do listen to little girls. Mother and Father always said, 'anything can happen'.
"Mister Council Angels?" I called out experimentally. "Angels? Are you there?"
There was a silence. The angel stared at me and I knew he wasn't breathing. Abstractly, in that distracted way children have, I wondered if angels even have to breathe.
Then a warm chorus of voices burst into bloom in my head. It sounded like summer rain and wind in trees and my mother's heartbeat when she held me.
We are here.
I let out a breath of relief and awe combined. "Mister Angel says he's sorry." The angel's eyes were locked onto mine. He nodded.
"Tell them they were right. I made a mistake," he said, looking wretched.
"He says you were right," I relayed. "He made a mistake."
The voices were silent.
"He really means it," I added, frowning. "I can tell."
The silvery chorus rang out in my head again. He made a grave error, child.
"Everyone makes mistakes," I replied, somewhat petulantly. "If they're sorry, you forgive them." I thought a moment. "Sometimes you forgive them even if they're not sorry."
There was a long silence and then I felt, rather than heard, a unanimous sigh. A wise child. You are right, despite all initial misgivings. We will allow him to return.
I smiled dazzlingly at the angel, who had been watching me intently the whole time. "You can go back now, Mister Angel."
His eyes, large and beautiful, filled with relief—and thine cup shall always be full—and he breathed out a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Minuet Winters." He lifted a hand and brushed my forehead with two fingers. It felt like standing in sunlight. "I am in your debt forever and always. This shall not be forgotten."
I nodded uncertainly. My head was beginning to hurt from all this strange, formal language. "You're welcome…?"
He smiled and it was like the sun's reflection on the moon, bright and mesmerizing, but not painful to gaze at. "No matter where you go, child, I will watch you. Never fear the night. It only means that morning will break that much brighter."
Then he was gone, and the glass was in my hands. I set it on the counter, no longer thirsty, and walked into the living room. My mother looked up and smiled at me. "Hello, love. Were you talking just then in the kitchen?"
"I was talking to an angel, Mummy. He needed my help."
She smiled again, tolerantly, and patted my arm. "That's lovely, Minuet. An angel. Lovely." She turned to my father. "Edward, doesn't Minuet have such a beautiful imagination? Angels. Fancy that."
"Mm-hmm," my father agreed absently, intent on his newest song idea. He scribbled down a few musical notes. "Angels…you don't say…"
I shut my mouth tightly and left the room, furious. Grown-ups. It was real! I saw him, I heard their shining voices in my ears. I wasn't making it up, and I definitely wasn't imagining it. Adults are just so stubborn. They hate to admit that they're wrong about anything.
No…not much has changed, I thought, and stared at the sparkling dust in the shafts of evening light. I'm still either crazy or able to converse with angels. No big deal. I'm just a seventeen-year-old girl stuck in a psychiatric hospital. The thing is…
I'm not insane or hallucinatory. I know I'm not. I should have run screaming from the kitchen when I first saw the angel, should have pretended it never happened. But I didn't. I helped him, and now I have to follow up on my actions. It didn't even occur to my seven-year-old mind that it might not be real. I just accepted it. I just believed.
And look where it got me.

The hypocrisy, unfairness, injustice, and corruption in the United States Judicial System in Chicago, Illinois dominate over a Parent's unconditional love for his Child. There is a lot of medical literature that Father absence and a legal system that keeps Fathers from playing any meaningful role in their children's lives has caused America's social ills to spin out of control such as school shootings, drug abuse, promiscuity, as well as emotional and behavioral disorders. Scholastic and cognitive development are also affected by Father absence. The court system should be mandating visitation not abating it or imposing obstacles to it. Whoever tells the most outrageous lies and has the most money wins in our U.S. Judicial System. The longer lawyers can drag out a case, the more money they can make. It is job security for attorneys. Courts impose unreasonable demands and then put arrest warrants on Fathers. Some Fathers turn their backs on their kids because the court system is such a hassle, a never ending stressor, and expensive. When will the court system realize that it itself is causing the emotional and financial problems and the only solution is to reunite the Parent/Child Relationship. Dr. Robert Elsbury has been a practicing physician since 1997 and has been practicing in Montana, as a General Practitioner, since November of 1998. Dr. Elsbury accepted Jesus Christ in 1985 through Campus Crusade for Christ. He then studied in France at the Universite de Savoie in Chambery. He studied Chemistry at the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle Campus, before Medical School at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences in Kansas City, Missouri.

"Proffesional and careing from the word go ."
About: Luton & Dunstable Hospital Luton & Dunstable Hospital Luton LU4 0DZ
Posted by veronica bigmore
What I liked
I have never had to go into hospital before and had no idea what to expect.
From meeting the people in Pre-Operative Health dept,(which was a great help as they explained what was wrong with me and how i would be treated also going through the operation procedure so i knew what to expect)
To meeting the anaesthetist who made me feel i would be in safe hands.
And finally the nurses on the ward who were exceptional in careing for me.
The consultant must get a mention as he diagnosed my condition and was absolutely charming explaining everything to me at that time.
So a Big Thank You
What could be improved
Anything else?
I will never worry about being admitted ever again
Response from Luton & Dunstable Hospital 4 years ago
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are pleased your experience was a positive one.

I don't think you fuckin' get it. It tore me to pieces to walk away from you. To tell you to hate me because it'd be easier than accepting the fact that I'm capable of being loved. No, worthy of being loved. After a lifetime of never being enough to people I sold my soul to, I didn't know what it was like for someone to really love me. Not lust, not dying to get inside me, not own me from the inside out. But love. Actually love me. Like, let me find each shard of your beaten, battered, broken heart and clean up the messes they left behind love. Like, let me show the difference between making love and being fucked love. Like, my soul has known yours since we were still dust motes on a star love.
But you didn't know the words for love, and sometimes you were a little too rough,love, and I think you forgot how broken I really was because I picked up all your pieces and dropped my own because seeing you happy was more important than my own sanity. It took all I had to tell you I couldn't absorb anymore of you without dying, and I still can't let go. We're "friends" now and sometimes I let you hold me because your arms still feel like home even though they're a thousand miles away and they condemned me to hell last July. But, but I don't talk about that. We don't talk about that. In fact, we don't talk about much anymore because I'm too numb for conversation, or my emotions are too glossed over and gaudy and embellished with my try hard, don't-let-them-see-you're-hurting smiles.
And I still don't think you get it yet: just because I'm busy forgetting doesn't mean my self-inflicted wounds aren't still stinging.

By Jim Corbett, USA TODAY
With the NFL's 2010 season kicking off, USA TODAY considers 10 story lines and their accompanying 2010 pressure points that could determine who captures the Lombardi Trophy on Feb. 6 at Cowboys Stadium:
1. Can the New Orleans Saints repeat?
Pressure point: Only one of the last 11 champions, the 2004 New England Patriots, repeated.
NFL Matchup senior producer Greg Cosell says the reigning Super Bowl champion Saints have two core ingredients common to every repeat champion: a cutting-edge coach whose attacking philosophy is executed by a Hall of Fame-caliber quarterback.
Cosell likens Saints coach Sean Payton and Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees to late San Francisco 49ers coach Bill Walsh and Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana, who won three Super Bowl titles together during Walsh's 49ers coaching tenure from 1979 to 1988.
"Obviously, they haven't done it as long, but Sean Payton and Drew Brees are the classic case of a coach and quarterback who work together extremely well, just like a Bill Walsh and a Joe Montana," Cosell says. "This offense has more personnel packages, shifts, motions, movement than any in the league.
"Neither Brees nor Joe Montana would be viewed as prototypical quarterbacks. Neither has a cannon (arm), neither is big and physically strong. Yet, their shared strengths are being incredibly accurate and quick in their decision-making."
2. Is Air Flacco primed to fly high in Baltimore?
Pressure point: An injury-depleted secondary.
General manager Ozzie Newsome's trade with the Arizona Cardinals for three-time Pro Bowl receiver Anquan Boldin and his drafting of third- and fourth-round tight ends Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta gave QB Joe Flacco the weapons needed to reach his goal of 4,000 passing yards. With deep threat DontéStallworth out with a broken foot for the season's first half, Newsome signed former Cincinnati Bengals and Seattle Seahawks slot receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
Already with three playoff wins in his first two seasons, Flacco is complemented by the play-action running of Ray Rice, Willis McGahee and fullback Le'Ron McClain.
There are also veteran wideout Derrick Mason and tight end Todd Heap.
"The expectations for Joe Flacco should be special," NFL Network analyst Joe Theismann says. "I like Baltimore in the AFC. They improved their receiver position. They will probably get (safety) Ed Reed back, which will help. Corner is a little bit of a question mark. But they bring so much pressure, they'll be able to compensate."
3. Are Mike McCarthy's Green Bay Packers good enough to raise the Lombardi Trophy?
Pressure point: Can their defense stop top-gun quarterbacks?
CBS analyst Phil Simms compares the Aaron Rodgers-triggered Packers to the AFC Super Bowl model.
"They're copying the Indianapolis Colts," Simms says. "In other words, they're just putting it on their quarterback and letting Aaron Rodgers get it done."
In 6-5, 247-pound Jermichael Finley, Rodgers has a wideout in a tight end's body who draws double coverage and opens up Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, James Jones and Jordy Nelson.
"Jermichael is a special player," McCarthy says. "The NFL is going to see a complete tight end this season.
"We line him up at every position now as a receiver. He's done a great job as an in-line blocker."
Rodgers thrived when McCarthy gave him the freedom to call plays during Green Bay's 7-1 second-half run last season.
"Aaron's decision-making has always been one of the strengths of his game," McCarthy says. "It's really us playing to our strengths."
The 51-45 wild-card elimination against the Cardinals left a bitter taste.
"In hindsight, that loss could be one that's really helped us grow as a football team," McCarthy says. "Clearly it was a missed opportunity.
"And we feel we have the opportunity now to be in the upper echelon."
The concern is a defense that lost to top-tier signal-callers, including since-retired Kurt Warner in the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger and Minnesota Vikings' QB Brett Favre, who beat them twice.
4. Can the Houston Texans or Tennessee Titans vault past the Colts in the AFC South?
Pressure point: Four-time league MVP Peyton Manning.
Indianapolis is a league-best 65-15 since 2005, with one Super Bowl win and a Super Bowl loss to the Saints last season.
The Colts have won the AFC South six of eight times since the division's 2002 inception. Jeff Fisher's Titans won in 2002 and 2008.
Manning has led the Colts to 12 or more wins seven consecutive seasons.
"Peyton Manning and the Colts are going to win 11 ballgames, maybe more this season," Theismann says. "Against the Colts, you can't put a game plan in and say, 'We can score 21 points and win.' Your minimum to beat them is 28 points.
"That's pressure."
The Texans have fortified their 30th-ranked run game.
Is it enough to jolt coach Gary Kubiak's team out of a 1-15 slump against the Colts, whom the Texans host in their Sept. 12 opener?
In addition to 2,006-yard running back Chris Johnson, the Titans have their best supporting cast around improving fifth-year quarterback Vince Young, who has worked hard to be a more consistent passer and exploit defenses stacked against Johnson.
5. Can Jerry Jones' Cowboys become the first team to win a home Super Bowl?
Pressure point: A leaky offensive line.
Jones built $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium with exactly this scenario in mind.
"We're going to have the Super Bowl this year, and I'd like to be in it," Jones said in training camp.
The Cowboys say they are more focused after a 34-3 divisional-round elimination by the Vikings.
An injury-marred and aging offensive line must do a better job protecting quarterback Tony Romo, who threw a career-low nine interceptions last season.
"Tony Romo ascended to elite level at the end of last year," ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer says. "He's so good in that offense when it's set up for play-action and getting chunk yardage. And now with (first-round receiver) Dez Bryant able to stretch the field more, the Cowboys are the team to beat."
6. Can Favre, who turns 41 on Oct. 10, lead the Vikings to a Super Bowl title?
Pressure point: Favre's surgically repaired left ankle.
Sidney Rice will miss at least the first six games after he was placed on the physically unable to perform list after arthroscopic hip surgery. With a team-best 83 catches for 1,312 yards, Rice had much to do with Favre's 68.4% completion percentage.
Rice's absence makes it harder for Favre to match his magical 33-touchdown, seven-interception production last season.
Favre's question-mark ankle figures to be targeted in the opening Sept. 9 rematch of the Vikings-Saints NFC Championship Game.
"Gregg Williams is going to try to put it on Brett, because they put the hits on Brett in that championship game," CBS analyst Solomon Wilcots says.
7. Tom Brady and the New England Patriots have new reason to abhor their AFC archrivals — the Hard Knocks-hyped New York Jets.
Pressure point: A young unproven defense.
Brady acknowledged his team's chip on the shoulder when he told Boston radio about the HBO Jets.
"Honestly, I haven't turned the show on. I hate the Jets. So I refuse to support that show."
The Patriots get to make their on-field rebuttal in Week 2.
"Tom Brady's been very vocal that he doesn't like the Jets," Theismann says. "I felt that way when we played the Dallas Cowboys. If you create an us-against-the-world mentality for your ballclub, you have a chance."
Brady, Randy Moss, Wes Welker and Julian Edelman and rookie tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez pose a potent passing attack that might have to outscore opponents. Question is: Can a shaky defense get off the field after losing defensive end Ty Warren, veteran cornerback Leigh Bodden and safety Brandon McGowan, who started 11 games in 2009, to season-ending injuries?
8. Of the big names in new places, Terrell Owens in Cincinnati, Julius Peppers in Chicago and Brandon Marshall in Miami, who has the biggest impact?
Pressure point: Can Owens avoid the finger-pointing that ended his tenures with the Eagles and Cowboys?
The addition of T.O. gives quarterback Carson Palmer the threat opposite Chad Ochocinco that was missing when the Jets took away the Bengals' limited pass game in a wild-card loss.
Owens, rookie tight end Jermaine Gresham and slot receiver Jordan Shipley give Palmer the firepower to score with any team.
"With Owens and Ochocinco, there's not a defensive coordinator who hasn't been burned by either one," ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Jon Gruden says. "Carson Palmer is an outstanding quarterback. If he stays healthy, the Bengals have a chance to win that division."
Bears coach Lovie Smith has big plans for Peppers, the $91.5 million free agent acquisition with 81 career sacks since 2002.
"He's about as complete of a defensive end as you'll see," Smith told sports reporters. "(He's a) 300-pound man (actually, 6-7, 287) with DB-type speed, who plays with leverage. … We have a lot of things in store as far as what we plan to do with him this year."
Former Denver Broncos two-time Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall gives Miami Dolphins quarterback Chad Henne a target with more than 100 catches for 1,000 yards in each of the last three seasons.
Nicknamed "Baby T.O." as a game-changing force, it seems the original T.O. is more likely to have a bigger impact with veteran Palmer throwing to him compared with third-year passer Henne throwing to Marshall.
The AFC North is likely to come down to this burning question:
Who will have more of an impact this season? The Ravens' Boldin or the Bengals' Owens?
9. Can the play-calling Shanahans —Redskins head coach Mike and son Kyle — produce a playoff return with a motivated Donovan McNabb?
Pressure point: A pedestrian receiving corps.
The 4-12 Redskins of last season failed to score more than 17 points until their ninth game.
First-year coach Mike Shanahan won two Super Bowls in Denver, and his rising-star son helped sharpen league-leading, 4,770-yard passer Matt Schaub with Houston last season.
"Mike Shanahan's Denver teams were noted for running the football. Then, you have Kyle, who had the No. 1 pass offense yardage-wise," Theismann says. "The thing Kyle will do for Donovan is make him a bit more disciplined in his footwork.
"I've always felt Donovan's too talented not to be better than a 60% (59%) career passer."
Expect Mike Shanahan to help jump-start the offense with bootleg passes.
"I'm not so sure there's a better designer of offense early in games, to get explosive plays that get his team ahead, than Mike Shanahan," ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski says.
McNabb's Oct. 3 return to the City of Brotherly Love will be must-see TV.
10. Will the San Diego Chargers win the AFC West a fifth consecutive season?
Pressure points: Holdout left tackle Marcus McNeill and wideout Vincent Jackson.
A pass-heavy offense figures to be more balanced, given the speed and power of running back Ryan Mathews, the 12th overall selection chosen to replace LaDainian Tomlinson.
Two-time Pro Bowl quarterback Philip Rivers has targets in tight end Antonio Gates and wideouts Malcom Floyd, Legedu Naanee and newly acquired former Cowboys slot receiver Patrick Crayton.
"I do have some concerns with Vincent Jackson holding out," Jaworski says, "and problems at left tackle for Philip Rivers.
"But Mathews can have (rookie of the year) impact. Norv Turner wants to hit you in the mouth first, then throw the ball down the field."
With the Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs in rebuilding mode and the early-season schedule seemingly full of inviting opponents, a fifth consecutive AFC West crown for the Chargers might appear to be a foregone conclusion.
But San Diego, recently known for its late regular-season flourishes, hasn't forged a fast start since its 14-2 campaign in 2006. And with the Oakland Raiders boasting a promising draft class and newfound stability under center with the offseason acquisition of quarterback Jason Campbell, the Silver and Black could be a viable division threat for the first time in nearly a decade.
Losers of at least 11 games every season since 2003, the Raiders will host the Chargers in Week 5. That game could provide an early barometer of the AFC West forecast.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
How long were you out for? It has been said that even professionals can not exercise for 2 weeks and not lose any fitness.
The infection may be gone, but you may also still be carrying some fluid on your lungs which will decrease the function of your lungs. This may take some time to clear, but running should actually help that. There isn't really any way of telling how long it will take.
First of all you have not lost all your fitness
If you are an asthmatic, do you have a peak flow meter? Do you measure your peak flow regularly? If you have not got one then go to your Pharmacy and ask for one, it should not be too difficult to get one.
Basically test your peak flow now and then again in a few days and see what happens. Obviously it should improve! Try taking a cough remedy with an expectorant in it (chesty cough remedy). You could also try using something like a 'PowerBreathe' (Google it!) to get your chest working again.
Do not forget that this problem is at least partly in your head, setbacks in training always mess with your head. The 'how long' question is going to be difficult, I am assuming that as you were prescribed Prednisolone you had a full on chest infection, so it is a "who knows" answer!
So whilst it is worth remembering that there are plenty more races out there, I do not think it is game over for Edinburgh. Let us know how you get on
Hi, I 've had asthma since a kid aged 5 and have been running only 3 years at this level.
I have bought a peak flow and it measures at 700 but I'm sure Ive had it maxed out previously.
From any medical perspective, would it be worth having say 5 days of complet rest with today being day 1 then trying to sharpen up with some speed sessions and a couple long runs in the 11 days before the run?
The GP just gave me 5 days of predniselone at 40mg and i was on 1500mg of amoxycillin per day. All that is over now but my chest just feels tight.
Just massively concerned that I will have lost the ability to run the desired time and if that's the case then 6 months of training is down the bog!
What's the point worrying about it? You can't change it now.
If your muscles in your chest are tired then it may help, but then the running may help the to find their previous elasticity. It is really hard to tell what is going on from description alone.
In person there are all sorts of tests and checks that could be done. You could see your Dr again or you could just see how you go.
This close to the day though, there isn't much you can do to change things so why worry?

. I have raced quite a bit recently and as a result have come down with a chest infection.
"6 months of training is down the bog!"
I feel your pain, I really do but you are not the first to have their preparation ruined.
But, the Edinburgh half is not the only race this year... a sense of perspective needed.
A peak flow of 700 is impressive! I have just done mine; 600...
Are you sure you are not hyperventilating?
Ian richie...
Almost snap. I've ran Milton Keynes marathon Monday. That was 5 days after I stopped my antibiotics, and 7 days after i finished the steroids.
Normal every day activities I was fine, gentle running as well was fine. when I ran hard i was still after 8-10km struggling as i could feel my lungs filling with crap so had to stop and clear them out.
So the marathon first half perfect went to plan. Around 14m stopped to clear lungs out and what shattered, just had no energy left after coughing up the crap. I struggled around but 22M slower than I wanted, some of that had to be down to the chest, but if youve got 18 days, i'd say skip training you've done loads, rest as much as possible, and you should be back to normal physically just without much running.
I have plenty of experience of chest infections and asthma. My asthma constantly affects my training and chest infections frequently stop it all together for weeks at a time, so I've missed many races too. But also competed in races after being off for several weeks and surprised myself with a good result, my theory being that my legs are fresh and well rested. Got a first in class a couple weeks ago after 6 weeks off (8 weeks on steroids and 3 different antibiotics to shift the infection).
The white and/or clear stuff you're coughing up is a product of inflamed airways and that along with the tightness are signs of your asthma. You may need to increase preventer medication for a while so best see your doctor or asthma nurse. 700 is a good peak flow for most people, but for you it might be 80% of your best, which is not good for running your best times. Unfortunately there's no fixed timescale as to when your lung function will be back to 100%. For me it varies depending on how bad the infection was, how long it takes to clear, how bad the asthma was etc.
Sideburn suggested a cough remedy, but do be careful to avoid anything with a cough suppressant in it though. Coughing is an asthma symptom, so if that's suppressed then it's difficult to know when to take relievers/treat asthma and we also need to cough to move the mucus produced by irritated airways. If we don't cough this stuff out it makes us more prone to further infection. I've found the best way of loosening it up is to drink lots.
Hope you're racing fit very soon.
I suggested a cough remedy with an -expectorant- which is the opposite of a suppressant. +1 for drink lots.
Other medication like Codeine can be a great cough suppressant, a pharmacist is a great source of information on medication and their wanted and unwanted effects.
All is well, 7 days rest and I did 10mins 20 at a 2 mile relay on wednesday and felt great. Half marathon a week sunday! Cheers for the advice people!
it takes 3 weeks following a chest infection for an asthmatics lungs to return to normal. Its all to do with the hyper-responsivness and hyper secreation that is exacerbated in the asthma patient.
Any strenuous exercise done now will exacerbate that so I would suggest (if you were my patient) to double up on your steriod inhaler for 1 week after finishing prednisilone and to use your salbutamol 20 minutes pre exercise. Also increase your vit c and oily fish intake ( both will help with the inflammation).
Better to trust in your training and still be in with a fighting chance come rest day.
Thanks for that, I appreciate the medical opinion for future reference.
My GP wasn't that clued up and just said 'Stop running.'
Dave the ex spartan! If you had read between the lines you would see that too much racing causes a decrease in the immune system from being overtrained and tired, cheers for the smart a**e reply tho ;-(
Anyway, I managed a 1hr 16 half marathon yesterday and am pleased with that!
Congratulations; nice to hear it went well

Pfizer, Protalix Beef Up Gaucher Disease Partnership
Protalix will continue to manage, administer, and sponsor current, ongoing adult and pediatric extension studies of clinical trials relating to its Gaucher disease drug Elelyso™ (taliglucerase alfa) while development partner Pfizer agreed to oversee new clinical trials, as both companies continue pursuing approvals beyond the U.S. and Israel.
In return, under the companies' clinical development, Protalix will be eligible to receive from Pfizer a milestone payment of $8.3 million tied to achieving undisclosed near-term clinical development milestones.
Elelyso is an enzyme replacement therapy approved in May for injection in the U.S. in adults with a confirmed diagnosis of type 1 Gaucher disease. Israel's Ministry of Health approved Elelyso in September.
Protalix in a statement hailed the agreement as one that "helps maintain the continuity of the ongoing clinical trials for Gaucher patients and physicians and reinforces the companies' mutual commitment to the Gaucher community."
The two companies partnered to develop and commercialize Elelyso in 2009, with Israeli-owned Protalix holding development and commercialization rights in Israel and Pfizer, the rest of the world.
In Europe, however, the European Commission on November 1 rejected the marketing authorization application for Elelyso. The EC sided with the European Medicines Agency's advisory Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, which noted that despite a positive risk-benefit assessment of the drug, it could not recommend ending Shire's 10-year orphan market exclusivity, starting with the EC's approval in August 2010 of another drug, velaglucerase alfa, indicated for the same disease. Pfizer sought to upend Shire's orphan market exclusivity but was denied.

How to get a good record, and make people mad!
Well, this is how you get a good record, and make people mad :D
It's easy.
Online; Go to the round's option.
Then change rounds to '1'(might be changed to 2)
Then, Use a wrestler of some type.
(I use rampage)
All through that round just keep slamming him, and get shots here and there.
[Repeat if necessary]
You should win the round, and winning the match by decision.
What if they reversal guillotine you? Everytime I play someone with a real good record, last time he was 94-6, they have so much lag in the game you can't time when to grapple and stuff but it doesn't seem to affect them. That must be another unfun way to do it for some people.
Butttt, With the patch you shouldn't be getting that much lag.
I have another method..
Just be good at the game and theres no need to cheat :)
Not only is it cheap, but it will only work against other crappy players. Any player worth his salt will reverse all or most of your slams.
certainly wont beat me with those tactics i tell you what
I played a match where a guy clenched me and threw short punches to my dome so fast that I literally couldn't do anything about it. Then afterward he messaged me asking "how's the jaw feeling" to which I replied "I should ask your mom the same question"
I hate cheap players. Pulling a cheap move every once in a while is one thing, but padding your record just to brag about your record makes you a controller warrior piece of shit.
That's right. I went there.

Average Rating: 5/5 stars (13 reviews)
100% would recommend it to a friend.
This Item is no longer available at Scrapbook.com.Write a Review
I just received this paper in my order today. It is a very thick sturdy paper. The brown color is darker than what it looks like online. I really like the dark, dark brown with the other vibrate colors. I was having a very difficult time finding enough different papers for my grandson's photos. This one is perfect for a playground set that I am currently doing right now. This is the perfect "Boy" paper. I also love double sided paper. Sometimes I actually surprise myself with which side I end up using. I will be ordering another sheet of this.
this collection of papers is great. the colors are vibrant and fun. great for cards, lo's, exploding boxes. the price is a little higher than your average piece of paper (average of around 65 cents) but it's nice and thick and you technically get 2 pieces of paper since it's double sided. plus you need less embelishments since there is a lot going on in the paper already. i urge everyone to look at this line and try a piece out on your next layout...you won't be disapointed! :)
First of all...I love Fancy Pants Designs! They Rock! This paper is So cute In Real Life! It so versatile and you can use one piece for so many uses! I cut around the circle/star design and go 4 usable pieces, plus the scrap are awesome embellishments! I would recommend this paper/paper line to anyone!
I couldn't wait to receive this paper and us it for a layout! I love the dark brown with the bright colors in the front. It is such a fun, happy paper! The paper itself is very sturdy. I would suggest this paper to anyone who has some fun layouts in mind!
Used in this layout: Having a Ball!
I don't know what side is better the one with the really colorful vector circles and stars or the simplistic orange and yellow polka dots on the back. I had to buy twice as many because I wanted to use both sides!
Used in this layout: My Special Day
I ordered several Fancy Pants' papers and am thrilled with the designs, colors and substance of the paper itself. I plan to use this particular pattern for autumn layouts.
I love this piece of paper! i think the design on it is very interesting and has a retro feel which i like alot. I used it on one of my son's scrapbook layouts.
I love this paper. Can do say enough good things about this. Love the colors, and its doesnt take very much effort to design a great page. Get it.
Used in this layout: Water Boy
I used this paper for a layout with pictures from my daughter's first "rock" concert. The paper worked perfectly for the layout.
I love this entire collection. Perfect colors--really nice paper.
what an iteresting and neat looking piece of scrapbook paper!!
I bought this because of the unique color combo.
Beautiful boy paper!!!I've used fom my mini album for girl!!!I like circles,stars and the funny colors.

Series: Advances in Global Change Research Volume: 1
Global climate change - rapid, substantial and human-induced - may have radical consequences for life on earth. The problem is a complex one, however, demanding a multi-disciplinary approach. A simple cost-benefit analysis cannot capture the essentials, nor can the issue be reduced to an emissions reduction game, as the Kyoto process tries to do. This text considers an integrative approach, which reveals that global climate change needs to be considered as a spider in a web, a triggering factor for a range of other, related problems - land use changes, water supply and demand, food supply, energy supply, human health, and air pollution. But an approach like this, which takes account of all items of knowledge, known and uncertain, does not produce clear-cut, final and popular answers. It does provide useful insights, however, which will allow comprehensive and effective long-term climate strategies to be put into effect.
