This is a beautiful box for Raja's ashes and keepsakes.
The carving is wonderful.
The carving is wonderful.
Beautiful! Everyone, human and pup, should be so honored in life and death, as Raja has been. He was a loved family member. We are sure he knew it, and now everyone else does.
Beautiful box to honor you life Raja.
That is beautiful Lamia.
My Rusty has the same beatiful memory box.
Thank you everybody! It is a beautiful box and when the people heard how he had died, they took an interest in making the engraving beautiful. I don't come to his page that much anymore because it is just too sad.
Ecooniems are in dire straits, but I can count on this!

Grumpy, a list, IIII
You'd think by now I'd be able to forgive and move on. But, I'm just not ready. I'm not ready to extend forgiveness for sheer stupidity.
I spend a lot of time in my own head space. For right now that seems to be the safest place for me. No one yelling at me. No one judging me. No sideways glances. Nothing but peace & quiet.
I've decided that I torture my body with exercise. That way I can physically hurt as much as I hurt emotionally.
My sister thinks I've lost my marbles. I have – but, I'm just trying my best to keep them corralled in my mind.
I breath deeply a lot. A LOT!! I deep breath so much you'd think I was starting my own Lamaze studio. ::sigh::
I feel like life is punishing me for something - it's just that I have yet to figure out what for.
I want a whole day to do nothing but watch what I want to watch. High on that list? Movies. Practical Magic, The Other Boleyn Girl, Ever After, Hope Floats, Anna and the King and some more Practical Magic...
I also want a day that is fill with copious amounts of coffee, coffee flavored ice cream, toast w/ peanut butter and jelly, and probably more coffee. Oh - and maybe a fountain diet coke. Yep.
But, what gets me thru the bad day? I know that at least tomorrow is a new day. And that a new day has the potential to be a good day.

Extra plus to car plucking? I can get the little visor mirror really close of my face.
Not so good thing about car plucking? I can get the little visor mirror really close of my face.
My sister is a really fantastic writer. If I had even a tenth of her talent, I bet we could make a fortune.
I gave up ice cream for lent. Typically it doesn't bother me to give up things for lent. This year, no ice cream is KILLIN me.
Pettiness grates on my nerves.
I excel at being passive aggressive. Actually, I thrive on it.
I don't play well in the sandbox with others. You'd think that after 33 years of life I learn how to do that.
Either do something right, or don't bother to do it at all. Perhaps that is why I don't ask for help?
I am an OCD perfectionist. (yes, you should pity my husband)

Hope is a word we have lived by for the last two and a half years.
Hope that things will get better. Hope that things will get easier.
Hope that we can make ends meet each month. Hope as we scraped together quarters, nickels and dimes to make a car payment. Hope we can work out a deal with the bank. Hope that everyone could just be a little more understanding and patient with us regarding money owed.
Hope that our 3 year old daughter would understand why we can have bananas this week, but not both apples and bananas. Hope that our daughter understands that next week why we can't even have bananas – because we need bread and milk more.
Each month we held out hope. Hope that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. And, that hopefully when we got to the end of the tunnel, we would be able to bask in that light. That hopefully, we could breathe a little bit easier.
That has been our existence for the last two and a half years.
We have lived with nothing but hope of a better tomorrow for so long that we know no other way to live. And, as I write this I realize that my family is not an exception. We are one of many families feeling the crunch of the economic crisis.
I hope that that it will get better.
I believe in the possibility of a better tomorrow. Because, right now? That is all I can hope for.

I hate it when I work all day and arrive home to a house full to two cranky people that have been at odds with each other all day. I blame the full moon.
It snowed. Yesterday. 4 days before the start of May. What the fuck.
I wish life would stop handing me lemons. I am really not a fan of lemonade. Hand me me coffee beans. At least then I could make coffee.
I am tired of being poor. And, if one more person tells me that I am rich in life I just might have to club them in the head with a baseball bat.
I have been on a diet for 6 weeks now. This is in addition to giving up soda and baked goods of all kinds for lent, prior to the last 6 weeks. I have lost a total 15 pounds. Have I mentioned that I am miserable? I want to do nothing but eat - so in place of eating I drink water. Which means not only am I miserable, but I am miserable and have to pee all the time.
There has been nothing on TV lately. This is no inclusive of the almost 80 hours of television I have recorded to our DVR to watch. Its all stuff I enjoy to watch - but, yet, I sit and whine that there is nothing to watch, because, well, I am not in the mood to watch what is on.
Did I mention that I am also, in addition to the diet, am trying to quit smoking. SO, I guess that makes me a miserable person constantly seeking a bathroom to relieve my over worked bladder while wishing I had a Camel Light. Want to come hang out with me?

Grumpy, a list
My husband is a big one for "It's just a stage" "You need to remember she is only 2" "Why do you have to over react all the time" and my personal favorite "You need to relax and let her be a kid". These phrases piss me off.
My face is still a train wreck in terms of blemishes. I swear to God the zits on my face are trying to create their own subway map for Townsend. Note to reader: Townsend doesn't have a public transportation system. It's not even big enough for a stop light. Just sayin'.
The usage of the phrase 'WE'. WE this, and WE that, and WE should, and WE could - it too, irritates me. To the person using 'WE', do you have a freakin' mouse in your pocket? Because last time I checked, just because you spawned me or were married to me, didn't automatically make me the other half of 'WE'. {thank you E (you know who you are) for bringing this to my attention}
I can't do laundry. I can fold it, put it in a basket, but that is about it. I think I can fold it because it's something I can do while watching TV. The whole put it in the washer, then from the washer to the dryer, and putting it away - yeah, that eludes me. It's not that its hard to do, but, it just something for the last 32 years I have been unable to wrap my head around.
I got ID's at a gas station today. The cashier said that I didn't look like I was 18. 18? Are you kidding me? What have you been smoking lady because I want some. I may not look like I am 32 but I damn well know I look like I am at least 18.
The sky is supposed to open up and shit 8 - 12 inches of snow in my neck of the woods. I am not sure I have enough toilet paper to help wipes the asses of all those clouds. But, I will be damned if I am going to go to the grocery store today. All the white hair'd crazy ladies will be there stocking up on bread, milk, eggs and processed cheese foods. *belch*
This whole giving up soda for Lent is killing me. Its making me grumpy.

tick TOCK
It seems to have migrated there from my heart. Before I got married, I had a tick tocking heart. A heart yearning for a wedding ceremony involving the love of my life. It took my husband 5 years of togetherness to propose. But, I got that wedding ceremony. The pretty dress, the flowers, the beautiful red shoes I had always dreamed of wearing. Yep. I got it all. Even got my dad telling me dirty jokes as we walked down the isle. I laughed my way down the isle to my to my future in the same church that my parents got married in 30 some odd years ago. It was magical and magnificent all at the same time. It was all I had ever wanted.
And, then, well, that ticking clock, it migrated south. Not migrated south in terms of a northern seeking warmer weather. Oh no. I migrated to my uterus. And, it took up residence there. I was the proud owner of my very own tick tocking squatter in my womb. Great. Just what I need. Some days it was almost as if that clock was one of those alarm clocks with a radio - and that it was hosting all night raves with my fallopian tubes. That's how loud my lady parts were about getting the attention they craved.
But, I did finally manage to find the snooze button. I got pregnant shortly after the hubby and I tied the knot. For those 8 months or so we affectionately referred to her as our alien ape baby - alien for not knowing if she was a boy or girl, and ape because she gave me heart burn. Heart burn so bad that it that rivaled the flames of hell. And, at just 36 weeks of incubation she came kicking and screaming into this world. It was as if she couldn't get out fast enough.
And, that clock, it went quiet. For a LONG time. Madaline is a difficult child, a spirited child if you will. Oh...and she screamed. Like a banshee. All. The. Time.Screaming so bad that if you would think we were trying to skin her alive with a rusty spoon. It was awful. I credit the screaming with drowning out the ticking of the clock. It was almost as if it was afraid to be heard. Or perhaps because we got so much more than we bargained for with Madaline, that it was broke.
Until recently. And, it's back. With a vengeance. And, suddenly it feels as if time is passing me by. That's it has all gone by so fast. Too fast sometimes. And, I find myself trying to slow down time. That maybe, just maybe, if I can slow down time, the ticking will stop. The batteries in the clock will die. Because, honestly, we can not afford to indulge this clock. As much as we would both love too, we just can not. And, so I try to do things to run down the clock. I put off potty training, even thought I think she was ready a LONG time ago. My 2 1/2 year old baby still sleeps in a crib. I keep her nuks hidden in our junk drawer as I just can't bear the thought of throwing them away. I ache for my baby. Just a little more time with my baby.
And, yet, the more I treasure each of these moments, the more I savor them and let my heart soak them in, that louder the clock gets. The ticking. And the tocking. That is the sounds that I hear the most. Not Madaline's sweet voice or her infectious giggle. All I hear is ....tick tock, Tick TOCK, TICK TOCK. And finally I realized - each day that passes, each day that my baby gets older, the louder that tick tock becomes. At least it seems that way.
And, sadly, right now, the sound of my clock is so deafening - its all I can hear.

For those of you that have installed these things, I have a few questions. I installed my passenger side arm the other night (ran out of time to do the other side) and I had a few issues. One was that I could just barely get the cradle to drop enough to get that mile long bolt out. I started with just the forward cradle mounting bolts undone (both sides) like Adam's how-to said, but I wound up having to drop the rear cradle mount bolts too, AND I had to pry like hell with a crow bar whilst trying to work the bolt out with my free hand. It wasn't much fun, especially putting the new arm back in with only 1 hand.
I was worried about damaging things from pulling the cradle down so much, but since others have been problem free in that respect, I just reefed as much as necessary. I kept an eye on a brake line that I could see, but otherwise I didn't know of anything else to watch for.
My other issue was with the clearancing of the strut mount. I had to grind off significantly more than the 1 or 2 millimeters that Adam suggested in his how-to post, and I think the arm is still making contact with this area. Anyone else encounter this?

Normal People
I was talking to my med school roommate last night. She's a regular doctor, and she was talking about how they need more psychiatrists where she works. They're getting a new one soon, but he scratches his chin and he sounds a little twitchy. Someone said something about psychiatrists being weird. My friend said, "I know a normal psychiatrist." I asked her who, and she said "You" meaning me. I'm normal? Roy likes that people say we sound like "normal people" when they listen to our My Three Shrinks podcast. Roy actually looks like a normal person. ClinkShrink looks like a nun. I don't want to know what I look like. There are moments when I think I'm normal. When patients ask me if they're normal, I generally respond "What's normal?" Actually, I think I equate Normal with Boring. Maybe Normal people equate Normal with Sane? Most days, I'm pretty sure I'm sane, I'm positive that ClinkShrink is sane, and Roy...oh, Roy is sane and he even looks like a normal person.
So does psychiatry make people abnormal or are abnormal people attracted to psychiatry?
Let's try a few, feel free to add some of your own thoughts:
--People are often attracted to fields relevant to their own lives, so they are more likely to be interested in psychiatry if they have a mental illness or know someone with a mental illness. With the lifetime incidence of mental illness above 50%, I'm not sure this accounts for "weird." And many of my patients easily meet criteria for "Normal Person." This is the obvious response to why shrinks are weird, so it's where I started.
---One gets a little bonkers listening to people's problems all day. Maybe. I still enjoy it.
---Everyone knows shrinks are weird, so weird people join the club. I'm not sure how this explains the nun amongst us.
---Psychiatrists analyze everything and all that introspection makes you relate strangely to other people. There are probably some variants on this theme. It may account for unusual interpersonal styles, but not for chin scratching and twitchy-ness.
---Twitchy people can't hold scalpels steadily so they have to be psychiatrists. Good point.
So do 'normal people' have blogs?
And I still have to comment on ClinkShrink's last post Coming soon.

Threat From H7N9 Not Immediate – Yet
The threat from the bird flu strain isn't immediate, but medical researchers are still working furiously to develop a vaccine. About 110 people have been confirmed to be infected with H7N9, but there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission.
Pediatric disease specialist Dr. Pedra Piedras compares it to the Spanish pandemic in 1918-1919 which killed 40-to-50 million people. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns this one could be up to 20 times as virulent.
"If it acquired the genetic makeup of a human virus that can spread rapidly and maintain that virulence," he warns, "then that is a whopper of a virus."
The professor at the Baylor College of Medicine says the medical investigators have traveled to China to be close to the problem.
"(The threat) is why investigators are watching it and starting to develop vaccines," Dr. Piedras says. "You don't want (to say), you know, oops, I missed that one."

Humanitarian surgical programs are set up de novo, within days or hours in emergency or disaster settings. In such circumstances, insuring quality of care is extremely challenging. Basic structural inputs such as a safe structure, electricity, clean water, a blood bank, sterilization equipment, a post-anesthesia recovery unit, appropriate medications should be established. Currently, no specific credentials are needed for surgeons to operate in a humanitarian setting; the training of more humanitarian surgeons is desperately needed. Standard perioperative protocols for the humanitarian setting after common procedures such as Cesarean section, burn care, open fractures, and amputations and antibiotic prophylaxis, and post-operative pain management must be developed. Outcome data, especially long-term outcomes, are difficult to collect as patients often do not return for follow-up and may be difficult to trace; standard databases for post-operative infections and mortality rates should be established. Checklists have recently received significant attention as an instrument to support the improvement of surgical quality; knowing which items are most applicable to humanitarian settings remains unknown. In conclusion, the quality of surgical services in humanitarian settings must be regulated. Many other core medical activities of humanitarian organizations such as therapeutic feeding, mass vaccination, and the treatment of infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis and human immunodeficiency virus, are subject to rigorous reporting of quality indicators. There is no reason why surgery should be exempted from quality oversight. The surgical humanitarian community should pull together before the next disaster strikes.
After three successive hurricanes tore through Haiti in 2008, surgical care was destroyed in the Arbonite region, and an operating theater and hospital had to be set up in a warehouse. In January 2010, a massive earthquake struck in Port-au-Prince, injuring as estimated quarter of a million victims. In the absence of functional surgical services, emergency surgical care was provided in temporary structures, including inflatable hospitals and partially destroyed hospitals.
Such settings are typical for the provision of humanitarian surgical assistance in emergency or disaster settings. Programs are set up de novo within days or hours, and the high number of injuries can overwhelm services. Even after the initial disaster is over, surgical delivery is hindered by the limited number of trained staff members available, limited resources, and poor supply chains.
In such circumstances, ensuring the quality of humanitarian surgical delivery is challenging. Often the quality of the response is unknown, as humanitarian agencies are rarely required to report medical data. Where data are collected, it is usually limited to descriptions of interventions: patient demographics, operative indications, surgical procedures.
Measures of surgical quality have been categorized into structural, process, and outcome measures [1]. In this article, we briefly review the applicability of these measures to humanitarian settings.
Structural approaches
Structural approaches to quality measurement relate to the availability and use of certain essential material or human resources. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has established minimum criteria for structural inputs that must be in place before humanitarian surgery can be delivered. They include a safe structure, electricity, clean water, a blood bank, sterilization equipment, a postanesthesia recovery unit, anesthetics, analgesics, antibiotics, and qualified surgery and anesthesia providers [2]. Such indicators could serve as a basis for structural measures of surgical quality in humanitarian settings.
Currently, no specific credentials are needed for surgeons to operate in a humanitarian setting. Most major disasters take place in countries with few trained surgeons. Many agencies recruit surgeons from Europe and North America, but the broad range of general surgery, orthopedic, and gynecology skills needed is often beyond the scope of their training. [3]. MSF and the International Committee for the Red Cross provide additional trauma training for their surgeons. Studies in high-income countries have shown that surgical quality is directly related to surgeon experience [4, 5, 6, 7]. Needless to say, the training of more humanitarian surgeons is desperately needed.
Process variables
Process variables reflect the care provided, such as treatment protocols or specific operative techniques [1]. In the humanitarian setting, standard perioperative protocols for common procedures such as Cesarean section, burn care, open fractures, and amputations are needed. Also needed are protocols for antibiotic prophylaxis and postoperative pain management. Given the high staff turnover and changing acuity of the disaster, such protocols would help ensure the quality of care.
Outcome measures
Outcome data, especially long-term outcomes, are difficult to collect as patients often do not return for follow-up and may be difficult to trace. This is in stark contrast to what occurs in high-income countries such as the United States, where hospitals and office-based practices providing surgical care must meet Joint Commission criteria to become accredited [8]. Moreover, surgical programs in these more sophisticated settings routinely report outcome data to standard quality improvement programs such as the U.S. National Surgery Quality Improvement Program [9].
Humanitarian surgical programs do not have standardized databases. Interpretation and comparison of data collected by various agencies is difficult. MSF, using a standardized database containing nearly 20,000 procedures, reported an operative mortality rate of 0.2% [10]. How this compares to other agencies is not known as there are no other reports in the literature to date. For example, numerous agencies performed thousands of procedures during the 2010 earthquake, but mortality and infection rates were not reported [11, 12, 13, 14, 15].
Existing tools
Recent emphasis has been given to improving the quality of surgical care in low-income countries [16]. In 2007, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched the Safe Surgery Saves Lives Project aimed at "improving the safety of surgical care around the world by ensuring adherence to proven standards of care in all states." The WHO Situation Analysis to Assess Emergency and Essential Surgical Care tool [17] has been used to evaluate surgical care in Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Liberia, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Mongolia, San Tome and Principe, the Gambia [18], and Ghana [19]. For humanitarian surgery, this tool would be useful as part of a rapid needs assessment but would not alone be sufficient to measure quality.
Checklists have recently received significant attention as instruments to support the improvement of surgical quality [20, 21]. A WHO study demonstrated that implementation of a 19-item operating room checklist demonstrated significant reductions in morbidity and mortality in eight countries with varying resources [21]. Subsequently, implementation of an exhaustive 110-item checklist encompassing all areas of surgical care—including pre-operative imaging studies, surgical equipment list, and postoperative care—showed similar results [20]. How these checklists lead to improved outcomes is unclear [22]. Decreases in operative blood loss, for example, would unlikely be the direct result of team members introducing themselves. One theory is that the checklists give the surgeon more "peace of mind" regarding the system, allowing him or her to focus on the operation itself. Critics have cautioned that the checklist cannot be a "stand-alone" solution for quality assurance [23], but it can serve to "reinforce accepted safety practices and foster better communication and teamwork between clinical disciplines" [24]. Humanitarian surgery could benefit from checklists. Staff turnover is high, and often new surgeons arrive every few weeks. Language barriers exist between the local and international staff. It is difficult to enforce protocols with high staff turnover and an overworked staff.
Elements of humanitarian surgery safety checklist
Perform anesthesia pre-operative evaluation
Pulse oximetry is available and working
Procedure explained to patient and written consent signed
Confirm patient identification
Mark operative site
If significant fluid/blood loss expected, obtain appropriate intravenous access and ensure availability of fluid/blood products
The appropriate surgical instruments are available to perform procedure
Antibiotics have been given if wound is/expected to be contaminated
Postanesthesia care is available
Postoperative care protocol is established
In a mass casualty, the procedure performed, date of dressing change or re-intervention are written on the bandage
Patient and surgical data entered into a database
The quality of surgical services in humanitarian settings is rarely assessed. During emergencies, most countries are grateful for surgical care and do not have the resources to provide oversight. As an increasing number of actors are becoming involved in the delivery of humanitarian surgery, the need to establish a framework for quality surgical delivery is more pressing. The quality of surgical care may be regulated through a combination of structural, process, and output measures that could include minimum standards for safe surgery, the deployment of appropriately trained surgeons and anesthesiologists for these contexts, protocols for pre-operative evaluation, intraoperative management and postoperative care, and standardized databases to record postoperative infection and mortality rates. A simple checklist for each patient can be utilized to ensure compliance. Standardizing data collection can help to evaluate surgical delivery.
There may be resistance to such measures in that they may be considered too cumbersome to implement during emergencies or not relevant for surgeons whose focus is the number of procedures performed. How successful is an operation, though, if the patient dies because of inadequate postanesthesia monitoring? Many other core medical activities of humanitarian organizations—e.g., therapeutic feeding, mass vaccination, treatment of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and human immunodeficiency virus infection—are subject to rigorous reporting of quality indicators. There is no reason why surgery should be exempted from quality oversight. The surgical humanitarian community should pull together before the next disaster strikes.

NYC Conducts Sixth Annual Census of the Homeless
New York, NY —
The city conducted its sixth annual survey of homeless people early this morning. Nancy Downing of the organization Covenant House was among the thousands of volunteers who canvassed the city's streets, parks, and subway stations to identify and tally the number of unsheltered individuals.
"I have the opportunity once a year for a very short time to get some sense of the experience of being out on the street in the middle of the night," Downing says.
The city says the homeless counts have been declining over the past five years. Downing says logistics and safety concerns do contribute to undercounting, as volunteers aren't allowed to go into abandoned buildings or other places hidden from plain view.

Has anyone switched out their side marker turn signals?

Has anyone switched out their side marker turn signals?
Not yet, it should be easy enough, just have to take the inner fender liner out enough to get your hand in there.
Yes I replaced every bulb on the srx other than reverse and like Capt said just remove the inner fender liner and just twist and remove socket...I'm curious what color are you going with?
Probably white. I have a 2011 dark blue color (not sure of GM name) that I do not think is offered in US anymore. I am an expat living in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Almost identical vehicle except for Homelink and satelite radio is deleted.
I just changed out those bulbs again and put LEDs, all I did was turn the wheel as far as I could to side I was working on and unscrewed 3 or 4 screws where the mud flap and maybe one or two much going up the end and I also took out the push pin at top and just pulled back and i reached up and unlocked socket by turn counter clockwise and there you have it in a matter of mins...
Hey Great work and write-up.
Have you thought about putting a LED in the little cubby hole under the radio/CD so when you open it up there is a soft light in there... and also the center console. They both have 12V already there, it would be a matter of opening, drilling a small hole and putting a 12V LED there. I went to the local auto store and saw the blue ones they sell, 4 per pack for $20. They have cool housing already on them and are ready for wiring up. Have you opened the cubby hole and center console?
Nah... An LED even on all of the time would out last the car. Not worried about heat or power use.. Just wondering if anyone has taken apart the center before I try ;-)
LOL, that is funny!
Never had much luck with the sliverstars . The turnsignal 3457A replaced 3 times on my 08 SRX. Not a easy job
hi captain,
real quick question. I am in the process of changing all my interior lights on my 2010 cadillac srx to leds. the one im having problems with is the glove box light. Any recommendations on which bulb to use? i tried using the ones i used with the doors and in the back but it just stays on and wont turn off when the glove box is closed.
I just used the same 194 multidirectional led I used for all the other lights.
How do you know it stays on when the box is closed? The light shines out of the lines?
If it is staying on... I don't know what to say. Mine works correctly. I'm sorry I can't help out on this one...
Also, I did find a direct LED replacement for the backup lights.
Its called a G4 bulb. Most common in house-old applications. You have to get a skinnier bulb in order for it to fit.
I also just finished swapping out all of the interior lights and tag lights with LEDs. Since some of the previously mentioned sites were out of certain LEDs, I used a site mentioned on another board I frequent: http://www.wardenjp.com/stores/
For the vanity lights I used: 1pc 31mm Vanity 2 Power SMD LED bulb (Warm White) to keep it closer to natural light instead of the bright white/blue hue given off by xenon white LEDs.
I bought 10 194 501 T10 1W High Power LED Wedge Bulbs (White) and 6 194 501 T10 5 Power SMD LED Wedge Bulbs (Xenon White) because I didn't know how much room I was working with. I would say that you should have no problem at any locations except maybe the rear seat map lights. They are a little tight. The single LED lights don't spread the light out enough and since the lights are installed directional, it makes it look dimmer than I prefer.
I would recommend using 2pcs 194 501 T10 5 Power SMD LED Wedge Bulbs (Xenon White) throughout the interior except maybe the map lights in the back seat. They may be too long and I would go with a shorter bulb.
Everything looks great though and I'm happy with the results.

The Importance of Fertilizer Nutrient Leaching to Groundwater and Surface Waters
It is clear that the nutrient loading to the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) must be reduced. We believe residential fertilizer nutrient loading is an important source of fertilizer pollution in the lagoon, leading to widespread algal blooms. According to the SJRWMD, fertilizer pollution is the main source of nutrients to the IRL, accounting for up to 70% of the lagoon-wide influx of N and P, and homeowners routinely put down more than 10X the amount that agriculture does (MRC, 2011). One pound of fertilizer washing off a lawn can trigger the growth of 500 lbs of algae, according to the MRC (2011). Algal blooms, such as the recent brown tide bloom (2012) and the superbloom (2011), block sunlight to seagrass—the linchpin of the IRL ecosystem. When algae die, the resulting oxygen sags can trigger fish kills. If seagrasses continue to decline and suffer, the lagoon could eventually shift from a seagrass-based to an algal-based system — with disastrous ecological results.
The EPA wants N and P loading cut in half in 15 years, costing an estimated 1.4 billion in improvements. So far, TMDL nutrient loading reduction successes have been largely through expensive stormwater reduction and treatment projects by local governments, and more than 100 of these projects now exist in the IRL watershed. Other local plans for meeting new nutrient TMDL and EPA requirements could include septic tank removal, street sweeping and pet waste and fertilizer input reductions through education programs. The cheapest and easiest way to lower fertilizer pollution to the IRL may be through source control by enacting strict local government residential fertilizer pollution ordinances. The Florida legislature has required that local governments adjacent to waters impaired by pollution, such as the IRL, must pass an ordinance regulating the use of lawn fertilizers. The Florida DEP has created a model ordinance as a guideline for local governments, but this ordinance actually does very little to limit fertilizer pollution.
This study is focused on collecting data that counties could use in the IRL drainage basin, as well as other areas, to justify ordinance changes, such as the restriction or ban of quick-release fertilizer application or restriction or ban of fertilizer application in the wet season (June 1—Sept. 30). The rainy season is the worst time for fertilizer pollution, particularly with quick-release fertilizer applications. The major quick-release forms of nitrogen are ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate and urea, and these forms of nitrogen fertilizer pollution produce a rapid response in turf grass growth and color. In most soils the ammonium form is quickly converted to the nitrate form, which is completely water soluble and highly mobile in soil, and this form can readily leach downward. Although some quick-release fertilizers can wash off lawns with rain, probably more important in Florida is that quick-release forms easily leach through sandy soils into shallow groundwater, and then seep into surface water bodies. This avenue, often neglected in fertilizer pollution loading studies and discussions, is the subject of this research.
Data will be collected from residences in the IRL watershed over a 15-16 month period in order to indicate the fertilizer pollution impact on the IRL. The fertilizer pollution impact of granular slow-release vs liquid quick-release fertilizer applications, under different rainfall and water table scenarios, will be investigated at the three test sites. Data will either support or refute the need for more restrictive local government fertilizer ordinances, particularly in IRL drainage basin counties that have only adopted the DEP fertilizer pollution model ordinance. Liquid quick-release fertilizer is generally undesirable as it moves quickly through the soil into the water table and receiving water bodies. It is anticipated that the collected data will indicate the application of soluble quick-release fertilizer, in particular, represents a significant nutrient source to the IRL, and banning its use, via ordinances, may be the best course of action and would likely result in a significant water quality improvement.
Three fertilizer pollution residential research sites will be used in this study. One residence will serve as a control (no fertilization) while the other two test sites will receive precise applications of granular slow-release and liquid quick-release fertilizer, with measurement times reflecting different antecedent conditions. All three sites will be sampled four times over a 15-16 month period. Slow-release granular fertilizer will be applied at one residential test site by a rotary broadcast spreader with a deflector shield at a rate of 0.5 lbs N/1000 ft2. Quick-release soluble liquid fertilizer will be applied at the recommended rate of 0.5 lbs soluble N/1000 ft2 at another residential test site. The third residential test site will receive no fertilizer and serve as a fertilizer pollution control. This site will have no history of fertilization. Fertilizer will be applied once in the dry season (spring) and once in the wet season (summer), with sampling occurring approximately 2 and 10 days after fertilizer application.
At least five groundwater samples will be collected at each of the three residential sites using clean M.F.E. PushPoint sediment pore water sampling rods connected to a peristaultic pump, at a depth of 0.5 ft below the water table. Additional surface water grab samples will also be collected at each residential site, and groundwater samples will be collected at each residence prior to scheduled fertilizer applications (control). In addition, 10 percent of all samples will be collected in duplicate and 10 percent of the samples will be collected at two depths (0.5 and 1.5 ft, below the water table) per residential site. Nutrient samples will be analyzed for fertilizer pollution from NH4-N, NOx-N, and SRP. Rainfall (amounts and intensities), residential irrigation amounts (if any), sediment type and particle size, hydraulic gradients (horizontal and vertical) and depth to water table will be documented and used in data interpretation. The sprinkler systems may be manipulated during dry periods to test different rainfall scenarios. Near-shore nutrient concentration data will be used with seepage meter data to estimate the fertilizer pollution (nutrient loading) impact on the IRL.

The name Mercy Aigbe is not new as far as film industry is concerned in Nigeria, especially in the Yoruba sector. This Benin, Edo State-born beauty, who started with the English sector of the industry, is well-known to possess one of the well-shaped figures in the industry, yet she is a mother of two. Married to an hotelier, Mercy is one of the scandal-free Nollywood stars in the industry. Leadership Senior Correspondent Ajibade Alabi speaks with on issues ranging from her venture into the film industry and so many others.
Who is Mercy Aigbe?
Mercy Aigbe Gentle is an actress, a mother, and a movie producer. I'm from Edo State, but was born in Lagos State. I'm the second born of five children. I'm a Christian from a Christian background, and married to a Yoruba man, an hotelier.
I have two kids after my post primary education. I went to The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Oyo State, for my National Diploma before I proceeded to University of Lagos where I got a Bachelor's degree in Theater and Arts.
The beginning
I actually had my background in Theater, because I studied Theater in school. I studied Theater and Arts at the University of Lagos and graduated in 2003. I worked for a while before I joined the industry. But the film that brought me to limelight is called Ara, produced by Wemimo Paul in Ibadan.
What was the attraction to the movie industry? Or was it just a hubby?
No, it was not an attraction, it was not a hubby; it was something that I really wanted to do. It was just a thing that I really had passion for and I just wanted to do it.
As an actress, what do you look at before you accept a role?
As an actress, before I work for anybody, I first demand for the scripts. And the reason I always do that is to go through the story, because I love a story that I have a passion for, that people can easily watch and gain something from.
Then after demanding for my scripts and going through it and make sure it is a good one, I also want to know the people I am going to work with, because most of the times, if you have a good script and you don't have good people to work with, it kills the story.
And it kills the scripts too, especially the director. It is not as if I don't work with people without experience, but the person has to know what he or she is doing. I just don't want to work with just anybody.
You are not from a Yoruba speaking state, but you found yourself in Yoruba film industry, how come?
A lot of people have asked me this particular question, and I kept telling them that may be it is fate, because I never planned to be a Yoruba actress, nor to be known in Yoruba sector because I actually started with the English sector. When I joined the industry, I started with a couple of soaps.
I did one or two movies in English and that film I told you about, I mean Ara. I did Eldorado and Images by Fidelis Duker and did one with Chico Ejiro. I have forgotten the title, but I think it is an old film. Then, I did a movie with Charles Novia. I did a lot of movies in English.
It was after my appearance in Ara film that a lot of people started taking notice of me; that who is that girl, she acts very well. And that was how I fully joined the Yoruba industry. I think Ara made me known, it made me popular.
Was Ara the first Yoruba film you will feature in?
Ara was not my first Yoruba film I will appear in, it was actually the second, but it was Ara that made me to be known, that shot me into limelight. And I'm happy now in the Yoruba sector.
As a producer, how many films have you produced now?
I think as a producer, I have produced about four films. The first one I produced was Abimbola, then after that I did Afeaye, then after I did Hajia Jemila, then I did Osas Omoge Benin. And now, I'm working on Goose Girls. It is about four street and outgoing girls, it is going to be a nice film, and would teach moral values when it is released.
Talking about your third film, I mean Osas Omoge Benin, people are saying you copied the story line of Funke Akindele's Jenifa. Do you have anything to say to that?
People were actually saying that before they watched it. Just like when Jenifa came out, a lot of people were saying it was a copy of what Ronke Oshodi Oke did in Gbajumo. Osas is so different from Jenifa. There is no similarity.
When you see Osas, you will see that it is completely different from Jenifa. I don't know where that rumour started from. A lot of people have watched it in the cinema and they have now agreed it is completely different from Jenifa in terms of story line and everything.
Can you say Osas Omoge Benin is your best performance so far?
I can say it is my best. But I don't think I have done my best yet. But the only reason why I love Osas is that the character allowed me to speak Benin 'pidgin', which is synonymous to people from my place, and it also allowed me to be funny, and that actually is my first comedy movie.
What makes you unique from your other professional colleagues?
I don't know o! (General Laughter).But I think it is my stature, because a lot of people do tell me I don't look my age, even after giving birth to two kids, that I look younger than my age. You know, I'm blessed with a face that looks younger than my age. I mean a baby-face. At times, when I tell people my age, they will say whao! that I don't look it?
And how old are you?
I am in my late 30s actually. I have a lot of upcoming actresses that always come to me to tell me that, and I always get to play their friends in a film without even looking older than them. I think as an actress, I am blessed with that shape and my good looks.
Tell us the secret?
It is God.
Any regret being an actress?
No, I don't have any regrets.
What got you attracted to your man, I mean your husband?
His maturity. He is so matured, he supports whatever I do.
How does he feel whenever he sees you in movies being kissed, romanced or even caressed?
I don't think he cares, because he knows it is a make-believe thing. There was even a film that I was supposed to kiss somebody, and when he watched the film, he told me that I did not do it very well. He said it was not done professionally. The only thing I cannot do is to act nude, I can't act nude.
Even with a million dollars offer?
No, I can't do that. Our society does not allow such.
Did you have a child before you got married to your husband ?
Yes, I had a kid before I got married to my husband. I had her before I got married.

The Power of Blogs in Forming New Fields of International Study
Grant me the indulgence of a blog about blogs. I have been working recently in a field which overlaps with the area of philosophy that has come to be called "speculative realism." The exact content of speculative realism need not concern us for long. Suffice it to say that it is an area of philosophy which, coming after the anti-realism evinced by those concerned with issues like texts and discourse, is trying to move back to realism, but of a different kind from the variants that have gone before. Most importantly, it wants to speculate about the nature of a reality that exists independently of human thought and humanity more broadly, a reality that exists outside human perception. This current of thought parallels a key effort of modern geography, my alma mater; the struggle to come to terms with what is called, variously, the environment or ecology or nature, a world which clearly intersects with the "social," but can never be reduced to it.
Enough said. I am not trying to claim that everyone should be interested in the niceties of the debate that has unfolded (although, if they are, the writings of Graham Harman or Isabelle Stengers are a good place to start, as are collections like Bryant, Srnicek, and Harmans's The Speculative Turn). Rather, I want to use it as an example of a recent development in how academe communicates with itself. For one thing that I have found really interesting about the turn to speculative realism is that is has clearly been fuelled by online communities which have turned above all to blogs as an important means of swapping material, revealing first thoughts, and making revisions. I doubt that the growth of speculative realism would have been so insistent without these communities scattered all over the world, or so rapid. Why?
First, they are a key preserve of particular communities like postgraduates and early career researchers, not least because so much activity can go on below the radar, so to speak, outside the attention of the kind of disciplinary policing that journals and other institutions tend to impose.
Second, they are a means for established figures to communicate in a different and more immediate register and often to become more prominent more quickly than might otherwise be the case.
Third, they are a much easier means of importing material from other disciplines, in ways which might be frowned upon if the material was to appear in formal outlets (I think that this is one of the ways that the work of philosophical fellow travellers like Latour was able to make its way into continental philosophy).
Fourth, they allow all manner of researchers to communicate with each other, establish reading groups and the like, often concerning intellectual alleyways which might prove of the greatest importance. There is real debate.
Fifth, new material reaches an audience much more rapidly than it would through the normal means of communication.
So did these blogs have an effect? I think that they did. In the case of speculative realism, they allowed the field to agglomerate more quickly than it otherwise would and to gain momentum faster than it otherwise would have. Get enough people to feel that they are in on something and they will want to diffuse it outwards. I think that they have also produced a field which is more heterodox than might otherwise have been the case, more willing to draw on traditions which were not avowedly philosophical: they contributed to an interdisciplinary formation which has one foot in philosophy but another in all manner of intellectual communities.
In other words, this chapter in intellectual history shows how a new variant of communication can have formative effects, and in fascinating ways. As a result of it and similar episodes in other fields, I am now quite sure that archiving the Internet is a worthwhile activity for intellectual historians of the future because, when the problem is reasonably well-specified, blogs can show communities worrying away at the issues in all but real time.Return to Top

Respirators for Spray foaming
I'm thinking of spray foaming my exterior walls as a diyer but I dont know what type of respirators I will need to use in order to "keep me alive". I've checked out this one but I don't know if this one works for spray foaming though http://www.princessauto.com/pal/prod...ace-Respirator. Can I know what needs to be filtered through in the spray foaming process. Thanks
I was just looking at a few vendors last night for a small project that we are planning. With all the sites I viewed, they provided the level of masks needed for installation. You might want to email the vendor you are going to use and just ask them to be safe.

Short term quick and cheap I'd grab 3 or 4 boxes of poptarts over MREs. Yeah poptarts aren't good for you but MREs not so much either. And some canned food.
A good tough well made knife, I'm not saying a tactical $400.00 whatever's hot, but like a good ole made in the USA bowie knife and a decent machete. Oh and a little Swiss Army knife with the Victornox marking.
The poster that was saying anything to tie with, stripe, rope, fishing line, everything they said was good. Tarps, yeah.
Dollar tree, Big Lots or somewhere and get hydocortazone creme and antibiotic creme, aspirin, benadryl, band aids, tweezers, another Swiss Army Knife, alcohol pads.
Water, I'd grab a few cases of some bottled water on sale and a good kayden filter.
Batteries and some LED lights, Good batteries and medium grade LED lights for me.
Oh salt, yeah onion powder whatever you like there.
If you find out the SDHTF tomorrow or this week, just make a list and stock it at your leisure if you find a good sale cause it can break you. And all the crap has a shelf life.
As for the $320 72 hour kit, can someone explain that in a way my cheap self can understand it?

okay this will require some decoding I guess
Not really. You just have to understand ST. Basically he is saying Nibiru is real and will come close to earth , interact with it and cause these changes and much more by it's presence alone and by it's GREAT SPEED as it passes inbetween our little world and our sun.

Broncs Host Sacred Heart, Drexel This Weekend
LAWRENCEVILLE-The Rider wrestling team will host former conference rival Sacred Heart Saturday at 12 noon and Drexel University in a Colonial Athletic Association dual meet Sunday at 2pm.
Both matches in the newly refurbished Alumni Gymnasium can be seen on the BroncSportsNetwork, with live video streaming on BroncVison.
Tickets can be purchased online by clicking the "TicketLeap" link in this story or in person at the ticket window in the lobby of Alumni Gymnasium. The ticket booth will open at 11 a.m. for Saturday's match and 1 p.m. for Sunday's.
The Broncs (8-6, 2-2 CAA) are led by five Broncs who are currently ranked by the NCAA Coaches' Panel, one of the tools used as part of the selection process to determine the qualifiers for the 2013 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, and a sixth wrestler who is ranked first in the CAA.
Rider junior Ramon Santiago (Sayreville, N.J./Sayreville), sophomore Jimmy Morris (Northport, NY/St. Anthony's), senior Zac Cibula (Luxemburg, Wis./Luxemburg Casco), junior James Brundage (Ossining, N.Y./Ossining) and sophomore Donald McNeil (Plainville, Mass./Wyoming Seminary) were among the NCAA ranked wrestlers, while freshman Ryan Wolfe (New Castle, DE/Caravel Academy) is currently ranked first in the CAA at 187.
Wolfe, who was expected to red-shirt this season until Rider's starting 184 was injured, defeated the top ranked 184 in the CAA and was named the CAA Rookie of the Week January 29. Wolfe owns a 19-9 overall record, 3-1 in the CAA.
Santiago is ranked 16th in the nation by Amateur Wrestling News and enters the weekend with a record of 24-6 overall, 12-2 in duals, and is the top ranked 165 in the CAA.
Morris is currently 24th at 133 and owns a 22-10 record as the second ranked 133 in the CAA, 10-4 in duals
The second ranked 157 in the CAA, Cibula is currently 27th and owns a record of 19-7, 7-2 in duals.
McNeil is currently 29th at 197 and is 16-12 overall and ranked third in the CAA.
Brundage is currently 31st at 174 with a 15-9 record. Brundage is ranked third in the CAA in his weight class.

I just had the same issue with my 49 ford coupe.
First thing would be to make sure your getting the right voltage from off your switch. If that's good this was the fix I did to my gauge lights.
The gauge had these glass caps that are supposed to be a purple colour. Over time, I guess mixed with the temperature of the bulb the glass colour starts to get darker till its almost a black colour. Thus the dim light. The glass cap for the bulb was supposed to work like a black light that would react with the gauge's paint and help it to glow. Of course that would have been when the paint for the gauge and the glass caps were new and would have worked well.
You can take the gauge off (label and unhook everything) and if you look where the opening for the lights are there should be a purple or almost black lens there that you can take out and your lights in your 5 in 1 dash gauge should be bright again.
To take the glass out, (with the whole gauge on my work bench)I took out one of the 4 small gauges for access, where the light goes into the back of the gauge there are these little tabs for the bracket that holds the glass in place, bend the tabs to release the bracket and I used the opening where the gauge I removed was allowing me to be able to pull the bracket and lens out. Then do it over again till they are all removed. (replacing the small gauges before taking a new one out.
You may want to use a coloured bulb as the level of brightness is distracting at night.
This was what I did to fix my issue. I hope this helps

Guess the celebrities – this screencap is from the same film about roller skating and was released in 1979. Good luck. That head phone tape player setup was cool back in the day. The batteries were a pain in the ass.

Costume Information
|Cost :
|Oh god, £200 ish?
|Time Taken :
|60+ hours?
|The base robe and cape was bought I must admit (I was too busy to make up the entire thing myself!) but the stole/scarf, all the accessories, arrow clips, dog collar, rosaries, armour, armband, ear cuff/spectacle chain, gloves, extra hemming, eyelets etc. etc. was made or customised by me. Fixings are mostly Fimo, but the shoulder guard was hammered out of copper. Belts, combat boots, and replica gun were very cleverly sourced from various locations, ohohoho. The hair is my own, it's actually bum length XD but sprayed silver.
I hadn't cosplayed in seven years, so this really was such a buzz for me. I think I may just get back into again.... so long as I have the spare time to work on such finicky outfits XD
I chose Abel because I'm pretty tall for a girl, my hairstyle can be styled the same, I actually wear earcuff/spectacle chains almost all the time, and I have a pair of rounded gold rimmed glasses with the kink in middle... it would have been a crime not to!
I learnt a lot from this cosplay, as I hadn't really done anything on this scale before T_T;; It was also quite fragile, I need to strengthen it a little before I take it out to the next couple of events.
1 word
THATS TOO COOL AND DETAILED well done
Ahhh Sonia you were amazing!! It was great seeing you back in the cosplay scene, I had to double take when I saw you out of goth loli and in cosplay lol xD You were seriously amazing, the amount of detail in your costume was... wow! *__*
Wah, thank you very much you guys. *bows* Hehe, to be honest, I'm probably going to be a very slow cosplayer, I've unfortunately fallen in love with one of the hardest series to cosplay XD So I'll be sporadic at best
May I just say this socplay was simply awesome.
I've got a pic of it I can e-mail to you if you want?
Thank you so much!!! *bows* I've PMed you as well, but yeah, if anyone caught me, please email me any photos you have to firstname.lastname@example.com (that address handles large attachments better than my usual email).
OMG!!! how did i miss this costume>?!?!
this looks just amazing and i wish i was able to see it!!! TT^TT i am now sad lol
i do hope you wear this again so time in the future!
awesome job on the sculpting! you have inspired me!
OMG i thought i recognised you! :D I remember you were one of the judges at the Urbis in manchester judging the manga maniacs cosplay competition. I won 3rd place as Hikaru from ouran, and you sketched me your own style of Hikaru, i just wanted to say thank you sooooooooo much :D its now my most prized possesion on my wall. *Gives Sonia another rose ^_^* hope to see you again :D
I've just atarted watching Trinity Blood and I love it- and I love your costume too!! You look delicious! >_
It was great to see you again! (Met you at Alcon, hee~) You made such an epic Abel and the photos you guys did looked like so much fun! Love this cosplay and everything, you look epic. Hope to see you again! ^^
Ack! I saw you at the Sweatdrop stall and didn't realise it was you!!! X_X I would have told you how much a fan I am of your work T_T
That would be awesome! I'll definately make sure to look out for you in May :D
Awesome Abel costume. It was an honour to meet you fellow Abel. I see that you have decided to upgrade to the artbook. YAY! have fun with all the eyelettes. Mine are all going in as I type.
This costume = still made of epic <3
Really nice ^.^ you would make a great integra hellsing ^.^
Looks absolutely fabulous, I must admit that I want to start making more solid pieces and I've always loved TB designs! You really pull of the outfit well, and even though I only met you for a short time at Thought Bubble (I was Zelda, though not my best costume), I think a lot of your own personality and aura seems to come through in this costume. Does that sound weird? It must be the spectacles ^___^
Love the new photo. I still adore your Abel. I look forward to seeing it again. XX
Wow!! This is so amazingly done! *-*
I'm the girl who spoke to you for ages at the arts fesitval last weekend. The one in black and white ^^
You are INSPIRATIONAL!
What an amazing costume!! You look fantastic in this ! x
This costume is incredible, you look amazing!
This costume is made of awesome! You look fantastic!
The detail is amazing i am in total awe. ^-^
You make an amazing Abel! <3

It's over. No more questions about Sam Richardson's status as the starter for Iowa State, no more questions about Courtney Manningham's job security, no more speculation that the Cyclones might not win a game until November.
Iowa State silenced its critics Thursday night with a 38-21 win at Tulsa, its first win since before Thanksgiving of last season. Richardson, nearly benched two weeks ago against Iowa with a sprained right ankle, was a cool 26-for-41 with 255 yards and two touchdowns as the Cyclones reeled off 24 unanswered points.
Aaron Wimberly made his case as the go-to running back, becoming the first Cyclone to rush for 100 yards in a game since last season's opening game. Wimberly had 19 carries for 137 yards — an average of 7.2 ypc — and had a 31-yard reception.
The rest of Iowa State's offense kept humming, with a rejuvenated offensive line — Tom Farniok played a couple series in his return — paving the way for 179 yards rushing and giving Richardson time to complete passes to 10 different receivers.
Iowa State converted on eight of 18 third down attempts, far better than its season average of 38 percent.
On the other side of the ball, the Cyclones did what they could not in the Liberty Bowl against the same opponent: stop the run. Tulsa had 89 yards on the ground and running back Trey Watts was held in check, limited to 2.7 yards a carry. Senior quarterback Cody Green had a miserable outing, an errant interception capping things off. Twice he fumbled on the read-option; he also had the ball slip out of his hands on a passing attempt, ruled a fumble.
Green was benched in the third quarter and replaced by Dane Evans, who didn't fare much better, with eight completions on 18 attempts and an average pickup of 2.8 yards per attempt.

Growing up in Trenton, New Jersey, in the 1960s, Nell Merlino often accompanied her dad, Joe Merlino, a lawyer and powerful figure in state politics, to the office.
"I remember as a girl being fascinated with the equipment: the typewriters, the phones," she told me recently.
"But I also remember the deep conversations that my father had with people at work. I learned quite a lot about wielding power [from those visits] … There were a number of female state senators, and my father made me aware of them and introduced me to them.
"Whether he was conscious of it or not, he knew that it was important that I saw people who looked like me doing interesting things. I remember thinking, 'That could be me some day.' "
Years later, when Ms Magazine in the US asked Merlino to create a public relations campaign to address the severe self-confidence gap between boys and girls, she came up with Take Our Daughters to Work Day. The goal was to expose girls to different career paths and instil in them professional aspirations. The programme – which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2012 – is now known as Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work. It has grown substantially: more than 35m US youths and adults participate in the scheme each year.
While the programme has been successful, Merlino says she still worries about the self-esteem of girls as they leave adolescence. There is a wide body of research that shows that girls approach adulthood with a poor self-image, low expectations from life and much less confidence in themselves than boys.
"My concern always is about girls getting dragged back into cuteness as opposed to substance," she says. "There's an ongoing emphasis on what you look like versus who you are and what you're capable of.
"It's very hard for girls to make sense of it unless they have parents who help them understand and interpret that it's good to look nice and have nice things, but [your abilities and your confidence in those abilities] is where the value is."

One of the wonderful things about focaccia is that it is a bread that can be topped with just about anything, so you never run out of options when making it. Potatoes might not be the first thing that spring to mind when looking for something to top off a loaf of bread, but they turn this focaccia into a very savory and hearty bread. ... Read More »

Onion Focaccia
Focaccia is a great yeast bread to learn to make. It doesn't require any special shaping and it requires only a short rising time. It is also versatile. You can eat it almost straight out of the oven, while it is still crispy on the outside and hot and soft inside, but you can also bake it a day in advance and use it for ... Read More »
Rosemary and Garlic Focaccia
It's funny what inspires you to bake, sometimes. This Rosemary and Garlic Focaccia was inspired by some really, really mediocre bread that I was served at an Italian restaurant recently. It is completely unlike that bread, and it was the fact that I was wishing for some good focaccia with lots of garlicky olive oil that make me come home and bake my own. I ... Read More »
Peppers and Cheese Focaccia
Focaccia, like pizza, is a bread that has almost and unlimited number of topping possibilities. In it's most basic form, the flatbread can be topped with just olive oil, salt and herbs. If you want to move away from the very traditional type, it's easy to dress it up with any kind of vegetable or cheese, and you can even use fruit if you want ... Read More »
Pizza Bianca
It's great that more people are venturing into the exploration of homemade yeast breads these days. Yeast breads are really easy to make (if difficult to perfect) and it's fun to play with the dough. It never fails to make me smile when I see a recipe for a "no knead" or "no roll" bread. While many of these recipes turn out fantastic breads, and ... Read More »
Feta and Tomato Focaccia
A large container of fresh heirloom tomatoes and a block of feta cheese can be combined into many things, though I'd be willing to bet that more often than not, they end up in some kind of salad or pasta dish. Tomatoes, cucumber and feta is a classic combination that makes a side dish to match just about any meal. The delicious combination of feta ... Read More »
Dried Fruit Focaccia
After seeing an article in my local newspaper for Martha Stewart's Dried Fruit Focaccia, I wanted to make it. I love focaccia and one that is lightly sweetened and packed with dried fruit sounded delicious in general, as well as seeming like a good winter bread. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the recipe in my rather large pile o' newspaper clippings and, eventually, opted to abandon ... Read More »
Tomato and Sweet Onion Focaccia
I was kneading the dough for what seemed like ages. It felt grainy and rough no matter what I did. Then I remembered that there was cornmeal in this dough and was glad that there was no one in the room to see how silly I was being. This focaccia is based on this Cooking Light recipe. I started it without thinking too much about ... Read More »

Ratings for Dr. Michael S. Downey
Dr. Downey is the consummate professional and caring physician. I went to see him based upon a referral from my local orthopedic surgeon, as he stated Dr. Downey was the best and he would have his or a family member's foot surgery only By Dr. Downey. I have now recovered from reconstruction surgery on both my feet and I couldn't be happier. My expectations have been exceeded and I waited to be sure both feet were good before writing this review. Please seek out this wonderful man! You will be glad you did!
Very pleased with my bunion and hammertoe surgery.
I saw Dr. Downey after seeing several other foot and ankle specialists. He spent the requisite amount of time with me to figure out my current problem and has given me a clear treatment path. Wonderful to find such a caring, concerned, and competent physician and surgeon!
Just a wonderful doctor. He is known around the country as the best, and trains other doctors around the country to make them better surgeons. I was referred to him by my own local podiatrist, who told me that if he or anyone else in his family ever needed foot or ankle surgery, he would send them to no one else but Dr. Downey,
Helped me with my ankle pain when no one else could or would. I had dislocating peroneal tendons on the outside of my ankle. It did require surgery, but it was worth it. The pain and dislocations are gone now!
My problem started 1 year ago today. I sprained my ankle, while on vacation, then sprained it again 2 weeks later. My medical dr. Sent me to get a MRI , and I did and it showed I had a really bad sprain I saw a orthopedics dr. The day after my MRI, and was put in the "removable boot" for almost 6 months..I didn't really think about it until my ankle became worse. I went to the same orthopedic dr. And they said it was healing okay. But, it wasn't I was in tremendous pain.So, I left that group who by the way I NEVER saw a Dr. There I was always different, pa's. So NO ONE was helping me.because, I never saw the same pa.i went back to my medical dr. Who is Awesome, and HE said let's get another MRI, which showed a "A Talus Fracture. So, I saw 3 other orthopedic dr.'s But NONE of them were surgeons we found out after a few visits with EACH one...they would say try the boot again, and then I was getting really bad ankle pain, and MY Dr. Ordered another MRI which was done on February 1st of this year, and it showed "The Talus Fracture" was still there and now I had developed "Avascular Necrosis " in my ankle.the pain has been unbearable! and I have 3 kids that I need to take care of... So, this nightmare was getting worse.Then a friend mentioned to get a appointment with Dr. Downey. I was so excited and hopeful that I was finally going to a Orthopedic Dr. My visit didn't go as well as I had planned. He told me I needed to wear "the Boot " or get a "Cast put on it" for 6 weeks,I picked the cast. But, I need to call their office tomorrow.because, the cast is really,really loose. I'm just beyond frustrated now, and he said surgery wasn't a option at this point. But, my Dr . Wrote "Needs evaluation for surgery" this has gone on way to long !! So, I felt he didn't really listen to me, and I took a folder I've kept with ALL my MRI's, names of ALL dr.'s I've seen.so, I made sure to dot my eyes and cross my t's.. Just feeling extremely helpless and not sure what to do now..any suggestions would be extremely helpful. Sorry this post is so long, I just needed to tell my story just in case their was anyone out there experiencing the same thing.
I had surgery with Dr. Rankin at rothman, he destroyed my foot. I walked in and after my surgery I could not walk again. Dr Downey was the only doctor that said he could fix my foot" He fixed it 100%. I love him and his staff. The woman in the office are so nice.Thank you Dr.Downey for giving me my life back.. He's truly the Best doctor.
The best in Philadelphia! Everyone recommends him, and he is THAT good!
I was in constant pain before going to see Dr. Downey. I had 6 previous foot surgeries performed by other doctors and both my feet were a mess. Truly, before someone told me about Dr. Downey, I had given up hope of walking or exercising without pain. He spent almost a hour with me evaluating my foot, learning about my past and current problems, and looking at my x-rays and MRI. He honestly told me that surgery may or may not help, but I decided to go forward with it. The first foot turned out so well, I did the second foot. Now, I am back to running, hiking, and walking - I could not do ANY of this before Dr. Downey fixed my feet. Are the feet perfect...no...are they much better...YES! I hope my feedback will help others find this wonderful doctor! He is a godsend!
Dr. Downey is everything you would want in a physician - competent, kind, and caring. He treats you like a family member. He is a top rated surgeon, and the top foot and ankle surgeon at the University of Pennsylvania. He fixed both my feet after previous failed foot surgeries. I could not walk or wear anything but Frankenstein shoes. Now I'm running again and wearing pumps. I am in the medical profession, and I see and know a lot of doctors and surgeons. Dr. Downey is amongst the best. If you need foot or ankle surgery, go see him. You will not regret it!

text: What: Chryslers in the Canyon VWhen: Saturday, October 12th, 2013 10 AM-3:40 PMWhere: Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Mack Dick PavilionHow Much: $5 per person park entry fee, the show remains FREEWebsite: http://chryslersinthecanyon.amarilloareamopars.comFlyer:Chryslers in the Canyon V is building on the success of past events and looking to bring out even more cars and make for yet another great time!CIC is a true, grass-roots event that eliminates all the politics and bs found and most "car shows." CIC is also 100% MOPAR. In addition to giving you perhaps the best and most scenic location you could imagine for a car show, we also do this for FREE. That's right...you pay nothing to enter your car. When was the last time you attended a car show and didn't pay an entry fee? When was the last time you attended an all MOPAR show and didn't get docked $50-$75? That is just one of the ways we turn things upside down. As for awards...if you are used to having your car overlooked due to a small handful of locals that win everything, everywhere have we got a treat for you. Chryslers in the Canyon flips the bird to the establishment and presents awards based on the car, not the owner, or what the owner does. Think your ratty A-Body can't win anything? Think again! The way we set things up all cars have a chance to win and we do our best to not have repeat winners, thus opening the door for more folks to be enshrined in the Winner's Circle. You could literally show up as an unknown Moparian and walk away with the top honors.Aside from our trend of bucking convention, we also offer up several other CIC only perks. When you arrive in the canyon we video you in your Mopar coming downhill and entering the lot. We vary the location of the shooting every year to keep things unique. Similarly, upon pulling in to the lot you will be greeted by a lady with a giant camera. This is Della, our pro photographer. In addition to snapping shots of you and your Mopar as you pull in, Della will shoot pictures covering the entire event. Should you decide to cash in on your surroundings, just have Della ride shotgun to your pick of locations around the park and she will do an on-site photo shoot. Last year, we even had a few families wind up with some great family photos. Depending on when you come in and how long you stay, we will make sure you have a great time both BEFORE and AFTER CIC as well. As we learn who is coming, from where, and when we will set up lunch and dinner to accommodate you.
