About Super Sugar Snap Pea: Though no one really knows when peas were first cultivated, historians can be certain that people grew them for food by the Bronze Age. Legend has it that fresh peas first became popular when a French gardener introduced them to the court of Louis XIV. Because they could be dried and stored for long periods of time, people in colonial times also valued this vegetable. Horticulturalists and gardeners alike have continued cultivating peas of all varieties and sizes. Super Sugar Snap has been called the sweetest sugar snap ever grown.
Super Sugar Snap Pea Germination: Because peas thrive in cool weather and do not transplant well, they should be planted outside 4-6 weeks before the last frost or when the average soil temperature reaches at least 40 degrees F. If planting later, remember that most peas won't tolerate weather above 75 degrees F. If planting peas in your soil for the first time, keep in mind that a powder inoculant of beneficial bacteria should coat the seeds. Plant the peas 2" apart and 2" deep in light soil and full sun; plant in double rows 6-8" apart to allow for a trellis. For an early spring crop, plant in the same manner in the fall. Peas do not do well when planted near onions or garlic.
Growing Super Sugar Snap Pea Seeds: As the vines begin growing, a trellis will support their climbing habit; any kind of support 5-6' tall should be sufficient. Before they bloom, pea plants need to be kept moist but not wet; after blooming, slightly increase the watering. Remove weeds carefully to avoid disturbing the plants; mulch may be helpful to conserve moisture and control weeds.
Harvesting Super Sugar Snap Pea: Snap peas taste best when harvested as soon as both the pod and the peas are filled out; test their ripeness by breaking them in two. If they snap cleanly, they are ready to harvest. Super Sugar Snap peas give an extremely heavy yield and freeze well.
Saving Super Sugar Snap Pea Seeds: To save seed from garden peas, let the pods mature fully on the vine; they will turn brown, and the peas should rattle inside when they have dried completely. Pick them individually, or pull the entire plant and hang it upside down in a warm, dry location to finish drying. Shell the peas after 1-2 weeks of drying. Store the seed in a cool, dry place for up to three years.
Detailed Super Sugar Snap Pea Info: Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon. Annual. 65 days. 135 seeds per oz. 48-72" height. 2-4" spacing. Produces 4-5" edible pods.

Three minutes of fame at Sundance
The week Wellington's David White turned 30, his three-minute short documentary made its debut at the Sundance Film Festival.
Not a bad way to mark the passing of time, at all.
It's just after 1.20pm when I meet up with White at the Marriott in Park City, Utah, which doubles as HQ for the Sundance Film Festival. The weather for the past week has been perfect: barely above freezing, but clear and crisp enough to get you sunburnt.
This is a source of joy for White (pictured here standing to the right of Morgan Spurlock and three in from Daryl Hannah). He tells me snow terrifies him. He relays a story that his friend told him about last year's Sundance, when a blizzard hit about 11pm, reducing visibility to about a foot in front of your face. A theatre full of strangers emerged from a screening after midnight and needed to get to a nearby bus stop. To do so they had to each place their arms on the shoulders of the person in front of them and walk gingerly out into the night.
"That's just my worst nightmare," White says.
We've jammed a little time in to talk. White is flying out the next day, en route to London to start at the National Film and Television School in London. In his particular concentration they accept only 15 students at a time. It is the middle Wednesday of Sundance and White starts school in London on the coming Monday.
White began as an actor before moving behind the camera. His most known work to date was as a producer on the Shihad documentary Beautiful Machine, which made its debut in New Zealand cinemas last May. Three months later White was screening his short documentary I Kill at the Melbourne International Film Festival, when a representative of Morgan Spurlock's Focus Forward Films approached him and his collaborator Paul Wedel to produce a three-minute documentary to appear at the Sundance Film Festival.
Focus Forward runs a short documentary competition, simultaneously to commissioning filmmakers from around the world to produce stories about innovators who are changing the world. They then present these short films in clusters at international film festivals. "It's just a ridiculous honour," White says of being chosen. All they had to do was get Focus Forward to approve their idea and the funding was supplied to them to make it.
What Spurlock is doing to make documentaries more accessible to the average movie-watcher is inspiring, White says. All of the short Focus Forward documentaries are available online as soon as they have premiered; they have had 11 million views on YouTube and been shared more than 18 million times.
White and Wedel came upon a doozy of a story for their Sundance debut, the Cleanest Pig (go watch!). The movie centres on Auckland scientist Bob Elliott, who came up with the idea 54 years ago that you could solve type A diabetes by replacing human cells in the pancreas with pig cells. It's a long and unpredictable story, filled with heartache, joy and a surprise turn from Tim Shadbolt as an unlikely saviour of the project.
Shadbolt's part in the movie, White says, played to hearty chuckles in the audience. Some things in life are just universal.
We spend a while shooting the breeze about being at Sundance. A huge facet of the festival is simply business, with film distributors looking to buy the hottest independent movies. White says that he was talking to a film producer who said that after he debuts a film at Sundance he turns his phone off for an hour. The executives in the audience all retire to a bar afterward and try to gauge the others' interest in the movie, looking to read through each other's poker face, with the isolation and the altitude heightening the mania, slowly driving the price up.
White's short film made its debut at the same time as Alex Gibney, proclaimed by Esquire to be the most important documentarian in the world, was in Park City with his new Wikileaks film, We Steal Secrets. Gibney told White that he loved his movie and he relays that detail to me with enthusiasm. He also had dinner with Darryl Hannah while he was here. Which is pretty cool.
Sundance is a peculiar and broad beast. It runs for 11 days. White is here off his own bat largely, with some assistance from the New Zealand Film Commission and the United States embassy in Wellington.
"It's important to be here. Otherwise the film goes out with no one to represent it," White says.
He can't really put in words if being at Sundance is different from what he expected. The only certainty, he says, is that your body absorbs alcohol at a different rate at altitude. Every festival White goes to, he says, he makes a link and then works on keeping the connections up over time. You never know where the benefit will show up long term.
Our coffee cups are empty. We both have to go. Whiteis going skiing. You could throw a rock from the main streets in Park City and hit a ski field. "It may cost a fortune, but I figure while I'm here, why not?"
My own stay in Utah ends tomorrow. I've been here a while. Too long, maybe.
I would've seen 30 movies in 12 days by the time this goes live. That's enough, right?

Kristen Stewart's affair with famed film director Rupert Sanders has reportedly cost him a staggering amount.
The famed Snow White and the Huntsman director finalized his divorce from Liberty Ross exactly two years after his high-profile cheating scandal was made public. Now, he's definitely paying the price.
According to TMZ, Sanders' steamy affair hit him for more than he may have bargained for. It's probably safe to safe the British model got the better end of the deal.
The publication obtained court documentation in regards to the hefty settlement, and the details are quite interesting. The 31-page document, which was filed in LA Superior Court, cites the grounds for divorce as 'irreconcilable differences.'
The information reportedly stated the Vogue model was given ownership of the $1.2 million Hollywood Hills home where she and Sanders resided. She was also awarded two additional homes they owned in London's Waterloo and Ladbroke Grove.
But, that's not all! The 35-year-old model-actress will receive $25,000 a month in spousal support for the next four years and an additional $14,000 a month in child support for their two children, Skyla and Tennyson. The two will also share joint custody of the children.
She'll also receive 15 percent of his future film earnings, with the exception of Snow White and the Huntsman. Then, of course, there's the big financial split. All of their bank and savings accounts will be split down the middle.
Sanders' pension plan and credit card reward points are even included in their split. The publication reports Sanders was left with their Malibu beach home and a 1970 VW van. Ross filed for divorce from Sanders back in January of 2013 after 11 years of marriage. During an interview with Vanity Fair in December of 2013, she opened up about the emotionally draining experience.
"I have no words to describe what we went through," she reflected. "But I think, for me, something always has to completely die for there to be a rebirth. And, for me, I feel like I'm going through a rebirth."
Kristen Stewart has also been dropped from the sequel for Snow White and the Huntsman.

PLYMOUTH, N.H. —The Plymouth State University Alumni Association recognized outstanding members who exemplify the best in professional achievement, service to the institution and alumni association, and service to the community Saturday evening in the Smith Recital Hall, Silver Center for the Arts on the PSU campus Saturday, May 31.
This year's honorees are:
Graduating Senior Award of Excellence: Jessica Morrell '08
Jessica has been very committed to engaging alumni and students at Plymouth. Through her fellowship, she was able to bring educators and students together for academic purposes. She assisted in awarding scholarships and grants while also being involved with the organizing and coordination of Alumni Weekend during 2006 and 2007. She continues to show her commitment by volunteering to present at a professional conference for alumni professionals in Boston.
"With all of the work I was doing for the alumni association I never stopped to think that I might be having an impact on the alumni," Morrell said.
Outstanding Graduate Alumni Award: Phil Desmond '01G
Whether he's building a successful business, raising money for a charity or playing drums in a band, Phil Desmond loves to be challenged. Desmond, who earned an MBA from PSU's College of Graduate Studies in 2001, says the challenges presented to him at Plymouth have not only honed his business acumen, but helped him in every facet of his life. Desmond is the owner of Brown Furniture in Lebanon, N.H.
"As a small business owner I thought that I could use some strengthening and develop tools that would help me be successful in the game of business," Desmond said of his decision to pursue an MBA degree at PSU. "Since graduating my business has grown tremendously."
Faculty/Staff Award of Excellence: Kenneth Kochien '87G
When Ken Kochien came to Plymouth State College to earn his MBA, he got more than an education—he got a new career.
A graduate of the Berklee College of Music, Kochien was fresh from four years of teaching music at Lisbon (NH) Regional High School when he enrolled in the MBA program at Plymouth State in 1983. When he wasn't in class, he worked in the Academic Computing Department as a work study student. For Kochien, the job provided an education in a burgeoning new field, information technology. "This was 1983, when IT was in its infancy," he says. "There was no network, no Internet, and we used tapes for backing up our files."
"I had the good fortune of working with a number of competent, dedicated staff while I was at Plymouth State," Kochien said.
Recent Alumni Award of Excellence: Jessica Orf Dutille '03, '04G
Jessica Orf Dutille '03 '04G earned the 2008 Recent Alumni Award of Excellence because of her commitment to improving the lives of the region's young people.
Dutille is adjunct faculty at PSU and also directs the Pemi Youth Center in Plymouth. In 2006, she and fellow PSU alumna Laura Brousseau co-founded the Faith, Hope, and Love Foundation to help children benefit from the same love and support they enjoyed while growing up. Public service and volunteer work have been a key part of Dutille's life since her time as a PSU student. Over the years, she has lent her energy to Habitat for Humanity, the Ronald McDonald House, Communities for Alcohol and Drug-Free Youth, and others.
"When I was a junior in high school in Lebanon, N.H. my parents bribed me to visit Plymouth State with a trip to Canoby Lake Park," Dutille said. "But from the moment I stepped on the campus, I knew I was home."
Alumni Achievement Award: Helenjane Doyle Hanson '53
Helenjane Doyle Hanson enjoyed her first semester at Plymouth Teachers College so much she was almost asked to leave. For the outgoing and athletically-inclined 18-year-old, college life presented newfound freedom and endless opportunities to socialize with friends and shoot hoops in the gym.
Hanson found a balance among her studies, sports, and social life, and was even named to the Dean's List her senior year. In 1953, she earned her bachelor's degree in education and embarked on a long and rewarding career teaching third grade, first in Virginia, then Maryland, and finally back in her home state of New Hampshire.
"Plymouth gave me an education, it gave me a profession," Hanson said. "One that I would love for many years."
Distinguished Alumni Service Award: R. Scott Biederman '75 and Patti-Jeanne Ryan Biederman '76
A quarter of a century ago, when Scott '75 and Patti Biederman '76 were still students at Plymouth State College, neither imagined that their future lives would involve a move of a few hundred yards, from campus to Main Street, or a seven-days-a-week career as owners of a deli and market. Now their business, Biederman's Deli & Pub, along with its sister enterprise The Chase Street Market, is a Plymouth institution that alumni always make certain to visit whenever they return to the campus.
Throughout their business lives Scott and Patti have been packing traveling box lunches and dinners for athletes in every sport, often traveling with the teams and getting to know the players.
Student and town groups turn to the Biedermans for help, advice and donations for special events, and recently the pair spearheaded a PSU fundraising effort to upgrade soccer facilities at the University. In the photo above, Scott '75 and Patti '76 Biederman received the Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award. Daughter Kerri and son-in-law Nate Dutile presented the award.
"Giving back to Plymouth State is of great importance to us," Patti Biederman said. "It helps us to grow as people."
<i<Ut Prosim Award (Service): Sean Ryan '89 and Lela Edgar '96
Sean Ryan received the 2008 Ut Prosim Award for the unwavering dedication to community service that comes so naturally to him. Ryan hopes to pass on his value for public service to his two sons, ages six and 10.
"Community service and leadership are two things I strive for," Ryan said. "And for me it started at Plymouth State."
Lela Edgar, a Hollywood-based actress and filmmaker, has been awarded the 2008 Ut Prosim award for her volunteer work in raising awareness and assistance for AIDS orphans in Africa. Edgar, who has a degree in psychology, began volunteering while a PSC student, working for the Women's Service and Gender Resource Center and also assisting with a Stop the Violence conference.
She created the non-profit charity "Make a Change" several years ago after visiting Africa and witnessing, first-hand, the dire circumstances of children whose families have been decimated by the AIDS virus. Her goal is to raise enough money to create a self-supporting village that safely houses AIDS orphans and their care givers.
"While in college I learned that each of us can make a difference," Edgar said. "I appreciate the great beginnings I received at Plymouth State."

EACH of the directors brings a different skill set to the boardroom and I passionately believe promoting the role that the club can play in the community is a key element.
Hereford United is a fantastic medium for community groups to do some of the things they want to do.
It can be just about asset sharing, something as simple as a group of disabled men who were looking for somewhere they could meet and have something to eat and drink.
When the players finish training their parking spaces become available, right next to Addisons, which is absolutely perfect for them.
We also have a stroke group who just want a room to practise speech recovery.
This is easy for us as a club but important for them and recognises their simple needs.
We have partnered ACT, a social training agency, to stage a Dignity Day at the Starlite Rooms tomorrow (Friday) which we are linking with the Respect campaign in football.
It's a chance to remind people that they have a role to play in respecting the dignity of everyone in the community, not just our able-bodied friends and relatives but everyone in society.
Is there anything more important at an individual level?
The morning session, featuring speakers of the calibre of Clive Richards and Simon Weston, will focus on dignity for people with dementia, carers and disablilities and how employers can make an important difference.
Later, our club captain Luke Graham will look at respect and dignity in sport, something the FA are very keen to promote. This is just one of the types of event which we want to stage to broaden our activities and community responsibilities.
During the summer, we are to stage a concert with the National Youth Orchestra and hope to tie that in with something involving the 1,000-member choir which sang at last summer's Jubilee Day event on the King George's Playing Fields.
It's all about helping the profile of Hereford, in general, and the football club, in particular, as a place where we can do different things.
We want to work together with the family of football in Herefordshire.
There are things that we can do together with clubs like Westfields and Pegasus and we now have a much closer relationship with these clubs and the Herefordshire Football Association, all key players in the county.
Those of you who know me will remember that my sporting background as a player was in rugby and cricket but I do have an FA coaching badge!
I gained that working as a PE teacher in the 80s; most of my working life was spent working with young people and I'm trying to use the understanding that I gained within the football club.
Young players, such as Harry Pell when he signed for us, are often a long way from home and can be lonely, home-sick and have a lot of time to spend on their own.
It turned out that Harry was lodging just around the corner from me and my family so I told him that he should drop in at any time if he wanted some company.
We've built a good rapport and Harry is a smashing lad - but it's all part of being within the wider community and making people feel they are important in what we are trying to achieve.
Harry will tell you the people of Herefordshire have had a huge impact on him personally. He has loved his time here. If we are to attract players, they need to know there is a good culture of respect in Herefordshire and as individuals they will be welcomed.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/11/2012 (1737 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
PHILADELPHIA -- The news wasn't surprising to Nick Foles.
Or anybody else, for that matter.
After all, the Eagles rookie quarterback had practised with the first team all week, and the starter at his position, Michael Vick, hadn't even touched the field since he left it with a concussion six days ago.
So, when Philadelphia coach Andy Reid on Friday officially ruled Vick out of Sunday's game vs. Washington, and named Foles the starter, there weren't many out there shocked by the expected proclamation. Certainly not the third-round pick from Arizona who has been preparing for his first NFL start his whole life.
Cussing ref docked pay
NEW YORK -- Referee Tony Corrente has been fined one game check by the NFL for uttering some obscenities with his microphone on during a Nov. 4 game in Indianapolis between the Colts and Miami Dolphins.
The fine was issued Friday by NFL officiating director Carl Johnson.
A referee of Corrente's experience -- 18 seasons -- earns approximately $9,000 a game.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Corrente inadvertently left his microphone open during a conference with members of the officiating crew. During that conference, Corrente used obscenities that were heard by the crowd and the CBS television audience.
League hands out fines
NEW YORK -- Jacksonville defensive tackle Terrance Knighton, Kansas City linebacker Tamba Hali and New England LB Brandon Spikes were fined $25,000 each by the NFL on Friday for hits in recent games.
Knighton was fined for making helmet-to-helmet contact with Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who was defenceless at the time.
Hali was docked for striking Steelers QB Byron Leftwich with his helmet.
Spikes got a roughing-the-passer penalty on Buffalo QB Ryan Fitzpatrick that drew the fine. He hit Fitzpatrick with his helmet. The players later jawed at each other and after the Patriots' win, Fitzpatrick called Spikes "a punk."

While corporate hotels across the UAE saw average occupancies drop by around 30 per cent during the Ramadan period, most leisure hotels also experienced slight occupancy drops, according to hoteliers and market experts, with Ramadan falling in the midst of summer this year.
"The market for a lot of the corporate hotels has dropped and that's pretty normal because people generally gravitate to their residence and a lot of food and beverage outlets are closed. Over the Ramadan period I would probably say that it drops by 20 to 30 per cent," says Peter Goddard, Managing Director of TRI Hospitality Consulting. He added that he is, however, optimistic about the time after the Eid holidays. "We think it's going to be very strong," he said.
Kempinski, meanwhile, saw booking pace for the month of Ramadan at "11 per cent", according to Avsar Koc, Regional Sales Director for Kempinski - Middle East & Africa. "That's better than the previous year on average across our properties in UAE," he pointed out.
The hotel's properties across the UAE are "performing as expected", says Koc, "and in some cases better than we have projected". He was, however, quick to admit that Ramadan, once again overlapping with hot summer months, has affected the hotel's business travel segment. [2] "Holidaymakers continue to choose UAE as their preferred destination as we have seen a steady amount of leisure business," he said.
Rotana Hotels registered a 10 per cent drop in occupancies this Ramadan period, according to Adrian Deegan, Area Director of Sales, Rotana. "From May 15 until the beginning of Ramadan, the hotels were running at a pretty good occupancy - they were in the 70s on average. Rates have dropped about 10 per cent since the start of Ramadan. But we were expecting that was not a surprise," he said, adding that within 10 days [from Eid] the hotels would be "back into the high season again".
Hilton, meanwhile, saw a "healthy pick-up across the region" during this year's Ramadan, versus last year, says Haitham Mattar, Hilton's VP Sales - Middle East, Africa, East Europe & Russia. "This is particularly in Dubai [3] and Ras Al Khaimah with guests coming mainly from US, Germany and UK," he said.
Asked if the increase was owing to traffic getting directed to UAE due to regional issues in other Gulf countries, Mattar told Gulf News: "The growth in performance is not directly related to conflict areas, as we are experiencing some recovery in our Egypt resorts and some gradual uplift in Cairo, particularly from GCC countries into Cairo."
Kempinski, on the other hand, saw regional issues impacting occupancies in some way. "Regional issues might have a slight impact on our occupancies during the month of Ramadan, but the UAE remains a strong destination year-round," as Koc pointed out, adding that Kempinski's two luxury properties in Egypt saw healthy business pick up in the first six months of this year.
At the Millennium Hotel Abu Dhabi, the occupancies are not necessarily experiencing strong performance, says Ruprecht Schmitz, the hotel's General Manager. "The tourists influx is suppressed," he said, adding that the pick up starts after Eid.
And then there are some hotels that found occupancy drop to be similar to last year's Ramadan period. Grand Millennium Al Wadha's manager, Marwan Mseikeh, said that the hotel's drop in occupancy rates is in the same range as last year's. "It's always between 20 to 25 per cent. This year it has been 25 to 28 per cent," he pointed out.
Interestingly, some hotels also experienced lower numbers due to Ramadan coinciding with the London Olympics this year. As Habib Khan, General Manager of Arabian Courtyard Hotel & Spa, says: "The occupancy this year was a bit less as compared to last year. Due to the Olympics, our main feeder market - UK, had less production."
In contrast, Danat Hotels & Resorts managed Tilal Liwa Hotel, has seen over 80 per cent occupancy during the Ramadan period, as claims Ayman Ashor, the hotel's General Manager. "It's mainly from the corporate business (long and short term) and groups business," he said.
So while most hotels have experienced no significant boost in occupancies during Ramadan, they are all pinning their hopes on Eid to make up for the lost business.

HCR is one of those devilishy difficult games you can spend hours, Indeed, it's as difficult that you can get stuck as soon as stage two unless you figure out why there isn't a clock nor a time bonus. This doesn't mean it's difficult to learn, because it only displays a brake and a gas buttons on screen, and it's all about a jeep running up hills without overturning. In your path you can collect coins to buy upgrades to your engine, tires and other parts. If you achieve to save tens of thousands of coins you will be able to purchase new and even less manoeuvrable vehicles.
It's a hell of a game, and given how many similar games are already out there, this can be the best game for hardcore players, advanced yogis or people with no blood running through their veins, because this game is what we'd really call a challenge. Yes, technically this game shows a more than acceptable performance regarding physics, but has a tweaked gameplay unheard of.
On the other hand, graphics are childish and soundtrack is unnerving, leaving this game recommendable only for those of unsound mind willing to dare and check how the simplest game can become the most nerve racking experience.
All this, free, ad-supported. By the way, it's not that difficult, at least you get to the Moon (and that's a tip)

COUNCIL officers will knock on doors in an effort to catch licence-dodging land-lords.
Enforcement bosses say about 1,860 landlords face fines of up to £20,000 each for not applying for a house of multiple occupation (HMO) licence.
Since January 2011 more than 3,000 landlords in Oxford have either applied for a licence or been given one, with nearly 900 licence applications currently pending.
Council health development service manager Ian Wright, pictured, said the authority planned to come down hard on rogue landlords from next month.
He said: "There are around 2,000 properties out there which still require licences.
"In some cases this will be because they don't know, for example if they are living somewhere like Dubai and have a family member in Manchester keeping an eye on their property for them, they might not have heard about HMO licences. "But we think there's quite a lot of people who know about it, but are effectively avoiding it and waiting for us to find them."
Mr Wright said the council had worked with residents' groups over the course of the year to identify homes which were operating as shared houses without a licence, but said the council has been taking an increasingly proactive approach.
This includes meeting with letting agents and with community groups to let people know about the scheme and a new publicity campaign will begin in the New Year.
He said: "There is no real excuse for not knowing about these regulations."
City council deputy leader Ed Turner said: "Landlords have had until now to come forward and licence their HMOs but regrettably some haven't.
"This scheme has been extremely widely advertised and the fact that so many properties have been licenced shows that.If you are a landlord with a HMO it is still not too late to get in touch."
For landlords caught flouting the law, the consequences are severe.
The council can impose a "finders fee" to pay for officers' time spent trying to track properties down.
And they can face a fine of up to £20,000 for being unlicenced, and further fines if their property is in an inadequate condition.
The scheme was unpopular with some landlords, because the licences cost from £362 per property.
National Landlords' Association policy officer Gavin Dick said landlords had opposed blanket HMO licensing on the grounds that councils already had powers to fight problems such as anti-social behaviour, poor waste management and run-down properties.
He said: "There is already a lot of legislation in place which helps councils deal with these problems, which are often there as a result of councils' failure to carry out adequate enforcement."
He added that it was likely a proportion of landlords were unaware of the law, but admitted some were breaking it on purpose.
HMO figures since Jan 2011
- Estimated number of HMOs in Oxford: 5,000
- Number of licences issued: 2,250
- Number of licences currently pending: 884
- Estimated number of licences outstanding: 1,866
- Maximum fine for failure to licence: £20,000
- Number of landlords fined: 15
- Total fines: £28,703
- Number of landlords cautioned: 16

Sorry about the photo but these look so much better in real life.
Who doesn't need an elephant on top of their pencil or pen?
These little guys are so quick to knit and that makes them perfect for stalls or fetes. I have made an elephant, frog, rabbit, dog, teddy bear, koala and pig but with different coloured bodies and ear shapes you can make any animal you want.
They are knitted on 2 needles with 8 ply (DK) yarn so even a beginner can make them. They are about 6cm (2 1/2") high. Due to the size I do not recommend these for children under 3 years of age.
I do not allow the copying of my patterns of any type but I do allow the selling of the finished goods

Microsoft has renamed it's Vancouver studio "Black Tusk Studios" who are now tasked with creating the next big Microsoft first party exclusive.
According to Black Tusk, they'll be creating the "next big entertainment franchise" or as it was put "the next Halo."
Black Tusk currently employs fifty-five people and is looking to hire more. The employee's they do have are all AAA game veterans. Former EA employee, Mike Crump is now also part of the team and he tells the Vancouver Sun, "We're not working on an existing franchise, we're looking to build the next Halo here in Vancouver, for example, which is really exciting. We are building something from the ground up."
There aren't any details as to whether this game will be current-gen but it's most likely for Microsoft's next generation Xbox that *doesn't exist*.

Pretty Woman Turns 20: A Look Back in Photos!
It's hard to believe that it's been 20 years since Pretty Woman came out, but it was this week in 1990 that the iconic film first arrived in theaters. Lots has happened for stars Julia Roberts and Richard Gere as well as director Gary Marshall in the past two decades. Julia and Richard's chemistry in the film was electric, and the role of prostitute with a heart of gold won her a Golden Globe and even an Oscar nomination. Pretty Woman has often been imitated, but never matched — let's take a look back at the legacy!

Radical cystectomy with ileal conduit cost:
{the cost covers all destination medical & logistics costs}
International Destinations: India, Jordan, Mexico, South Korea, Turkey
Radical cystectomy is one of the most efficient and effective ways of controlling invasive cancers of the bladder. In the United States of America, bladder cancer is one of the five most common cancers (with others being lung, prostate, breast and colon). As per available evidence, about 60,000 new cases of bladder cancer were detected in 2006, in the United States of America, and bladder cancer contributed to 12,000 deaths in the same year. A radical cystectomy procedure involves the surgical resection of the entire urinary bladder and the surrounding lymph nodes. In a male patient even the prostate is removed. After the removal of the bladder an Ileal Conduit (IC) is required to allow urinary diversion and excretion of liquid waste out of the body. Radical Cystectomy with Ileal Conduit is a standard procedure used for carcinomas affecting the urinary bladder. This procedure is available in Jordan, Turkey, India, South Korea and Mexico, at considerably lower costs. The approximate cost of the procedure is
Indications for Radical Cystectomy with ileal conduit:
It is a major surgical procedure and hence the medical condition of the patient needs to be assessed prior to undertaking the surgery,
- The surgery is recommended for most of the forms of bladder cancers ranging from flat in situ cell carcinoma to T4, a carcinoma invading the prostrate
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder
- Sarcoma of the bladder (i.e. cancers affecting the connective tissue namely muscles, cartilage, bone, etc)
Survival rate after Radical Cystectomy:
The survival rates after the radical cystectomy procedure depend upon the spread of the tumor and the stage at which the surgery is conducted. Clinical studies indicate that the 5 year survival rate after radical cystectomy is about 58%. However patients with lymph node metastasis had the worst prognosis with five year survival rate of mere 30%. Unfortunately clinical evidence suggests that complementary radiotherapy or chemotherapy doesn't alter the survival rate.
Preoperative Considerations for Radical Cystectomy with ileal conduit:
- After a thorough physical examination the patient is subjected to a battery of tests to assess the location, spread and expanse of the tumor. These tests include CT scan or an MRI of the pelvic and abdominal region.
- Once the status of the patient is confirmed, the patient's medical status is assessed though a detailed medical history and several investigations aimed at reviewing the patient's heart condition, lung function, liver function and basic blood count.
- The patient is counseled about the procedure and whether the procedure will require removal of other pelvic organs like prostate (in males), ovaries and fallopian tubes (in females).
- All blood thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, etc are stopped at least one week prior to the surgery
- The patient is started on a low residue diet three days prior to the procedure, to reduce the volume and frequency of stools and increase the intestinal transit time.
- Low molecular weight heparin is injected intravenously a day prior to the surgery. At this time the patient is allowed only liquid diet. Laxatives or enema is given on the day prior to the surgery to clear the bowels
- The patient is given antibiotic cover on the day preceding the scheduled date of the surgery to protect him against any infections that may develop as a consequence of the surgery
Radical Cystectomy with ileal conduit: The procedure
- The operation is conducted under general anesthesia with muscle relaxants given intravenously. The procedure is a complex surgery and may take up to 3 to 4 hours
- A transverse midline incision is made below the umbilicus from where the retro peritoneal space is assessed and the bladder is dissected. The surrounding lymph nodes along with other surrounding organs are dissected as required.
- A small part of the ileum is cut and connected to the ureters (i.e. the tubes that flow urine from the kidney to the bladder) at one end. The other end of the dissected ileum is connected to the surface of the abdomen through a small opening called the 'stoma'.
- After the procedure, urine flows from the kidneys down through the ureters into the ileal conduit and comes out through the stoma. The patient is made to wear a urostomy bag, which is a waterproof bag, which collects the urine.
Complications and post operative care of radical cystectomy with ileal conduit:
- Some degree of heamaturia (i.e. blood in urine) is expected, due to the nature of the procedure.
- Some cases may present with leakage of urine through the newly formed route. Surgical correction of such errors is inevitable
- The patient will be hospitalized for 5 to 7 days after the procedure. The patient is kept on Intravenous pain medications to alleviate pain. The diet immediately after the surgery will comprise mainly of fluids which will be progressively replaced by solids once the bowels recover.
- Other long term complications include recurrent urinary tract infections, ureteric strictures, stomal strictures, acidosis with bilateral hydronephrosis and renal ston
Radical Cystectomy with Ileal conduit in India
India has several renowned urologists and oncosurgeons, with expertise in management of cancers of the urinary bladder and the region surrounding it. The country is home to the largest English speaking population in the world, which considerably helps the stay and health care services for medical tourists.
Radical Cystectomy with Ileal conduit in Mexico:
Mexico has its borders with the United States of America, which significantly reduces the strain of travel for medical tourists seeking medical care outside their home country. The medical and surgical care in the country is also considerably cheaper than that in the United States.
Radical Cystectomy with Ileal conduit in Turkey:
For Americans looking for good quality of medical and surgical care, at lower prices, Turkey is the best destination. Turkey has already registered substantial growth over the past few years, with medical tourists from across the world visiting this location in the Mediterranean to seek medical care.
Radical Cystectomy with Ileal conduit in Jordan:
Jordan, like most medical tourism destinations provides the advantage of cost, whilst maintaining international standards for quality care. The country is focusing on improving its physical infrastructure to make the country more acceptable by medical tourists, especially from the United States.
Radical Cystectomy with Ileal conduit in South Korea:
South Korean hospitals are abreast with the latest advances in medical science technology and are apt to cater to oncology care. The country has a directed focus on oncology (both surgical and medical cases) and provides comprehensive services to medical tourists.

South Louisiana's hot weather and afternoon rains have brought a bounty of locally grown produce to farmers markets. They are bursting with fresh fruit, such as peaches, watermelon, cantaloupe and blueberries, and plenty of tomatoes, peppers and other vegetables.
Several varieties of eggplant from small oblong ones to round and pear-shaped ones are also available at the markets now. While commonly used as a vegetable, eggplant — a member of the nightshade family — is actually a fruit. It can range in color from white to a glossy, very dark purple. Select firm ones heavy for their size and use shortly after purchase.
Eggplant, used extensively in Greek, Turkish and Italian cooking, has long been popular in Mediterranean countries and in southern Asia.
Since its flesh discolors quickly, cut an eggplant just before using. It can be baked, broiled, fried, grilled, used in stews or stuffed.

Intimate and informal performances are part of the Simple Measures program
Published 10:00 pm, Thursday, February 2, 2006
A fresh idea infuses several new, small, classical music organizations this year. Instead of large formal venues with audiences sitting far from the stage, why not play informally but with top-quality performers in small venues in neighborhoods, where people can drop in from down the street, in casual dress, and with no parking problems?
One such group, giving its second series of concerts in four neighborhoods starting tonight, is Simple Measures. Founder cellist Rajan Krishnaswami had wanted for years to "bring back the whole idea of parlor concerts, to bring chamber music up close as it was intended to be, so the audience can hear us breathe."
Latest videos
In the 19th century, concerts didn't necessarily feature whole symphonies end to end. Movements would be interspersed with other offerings. Simple Measures is his attempt, he says, "to draw from history yet with a contemporary twist."
The format is to give concerts around a theme with a small group of chamber musicians. For this series, it's "Colors of the Wind," which explores how winds introduce different aural colors to a group of strings. Departing from 20th-century practice, the players perform single movements that illustrate the idea, and then have a general discussion with the audience about it. After intermission, the group plays a complete work, in this series Beethoven's Septet for winds and strings, while the single movements are from widely differing composers: Francaix, Prokofiev, Damase, Brahms and Mozart.
"The idea is to see how discussion of the first half of the concert elucidates the second half. We act and talk in a participatory way and encourage the audience to ask questions and make comments," he says. "People have more idea of how to listen and it brings alive the second half. Everybody loves the intimacy." After the first series last fall, he says, "five people came up to me and said it was the best concert they'd ever been to."
Krishnaswami is always looking for new places to play, but he has certain essential criteria. One is good acoustics -- such as the hallway of a school in Maple Leaf. Another is room for 100 people plus musicians and no fixed seating, so chairs can be arranged in a circle around the performers. The Mount Baker and Edmonds community centers turned out to be excellent. "We'll definitely go back," he says. A favorite venue has turned out to be the Q Cafe in Interbay. "A cool space."
It's a large effort to plan and bring to successful fruition a new musical organization, let alone make it financially viable. Krishnaswami has begun with great care, working with advisers on every detail from name to ticket price to staff. "I wanted top musicians, so that meant lots of fund-raising," he says. "For tickets, we looked at what others charge. We wanted a price high enough to say this is quality, but low enough that people would come." A former cello student with valuable business skills volunteered to be administrator.
Next year, Krishnaswami wants to expand farther afield, maybe to Federal Way, Bainbridge Island and the Eastside. This April, the series has the theme "With a Song," and two former members of Seattle Opera's Young Artists Program will join the instrumentalists.
"You don't have to know classical music in order to enjoy this," says Krishnaswami. "We've had quite a few young people, teens and middle schoolers. It's a very kid-friendly show."

Two men, one in his twenties and the other nearer forty, are sitting in a van while waiting for the right moment to kidnap a young, rich woman.
Before "The Disappearance of Alice Creed" opens in limited U.S. theaters on August 6, a new clip has been outed for sneak peek. The snippet, which makes its way out via IGN, sees two men waiting in a van before they put on their masks to kidnap a young woman.
Two ex-cons, Danny and Vic, want to make easy money by kidnapping Alice Creed, a daughter of a rich businessman, and asking a ransom for the young woman. Terrified and immobile at first, it soon becomes clear that Alice isn't about to let her captors use her as capital without a fight.
As determined to escape as Vic and Danny are to succeed, Alice enters into a battle of wills that strains the already fractious relationship between the two men. As the deadline for the exchange draws nearer, all three are brought close to the breaking point, with Vic and Danny's foolproof plan descending into a desperate struggle for survival.
Gemma Arterton takes the female lead role with Martin Compston playing the younger and nervier kidnapper Danny, and Eddie Marsan portraying the more experienced Vic. J Blakeson serves as a helmer in addition to writing the script for this R-rated thriller.

Biospecimen Retention: Samples Without DNA
The relationship between cytomegalovirus infection and recurrence of hepatitis C in liver transplant recipients remains controversial. Although some studies (Teixeira et al., 2000; Singh et al., 2005)have not found an association between recurrence of hepatitis C and CMV infection, studies such as Rosen et al. show that 50% of patients with CMV infection suffered cirrhosis durig follow-up period, while between not-infected patients the rate was 11%. To clarify this question, a non-interventional study will be carried out in order to assess if CMV replication is a risk factor for graft dysfunction in liver transplant recipients.

Los Angeles, Feb 10 (IANS) Actress Christina Applegate has opted out of her TV show "Up All Night" and says she will miss its cast and crew.
"It's been a great experience working on 'Up All Night', but the show has taken a different creative direction, and I decided it was best for me to move on to other endeavours," the actress says in a statement, reports usmagazine.com.
"Working with (producer) Lorne Michaels has been a dream come true, and I am grateful he brought me into his TV family. I will miss the cast, producers, and crew, and wish them the best always," she added.
"Up All Night" is a NBC sitcom, which featured Applegate and Will Arnett as a hip married couple whose lives are turned upside-down when they unexpectedly have a kid. It was inspired by the real-life experiences of series creator Emily Spivey, who also quit the show in early January, prior to the sitcom's planned revamp.

Annoyed neighbors of Smithfield Foods-owned hog farms in North Carolina filed complaints over the smell of hog waste sweeping through the area and, earlier this month, threatened a lawsuit against the company.
Complainants accused Smithfield of polluting a nearby creek with the waste from its farms. The resulting smell, they claimed, disturbed their quality of life.
The company said it would investigate these allegations in order to mediate with the neighbors. However, Smithfield recently declared that it would stop seeking mediation and now plans to fight the complaints in court.
A spokesperson for Murphy-Brown farms told WRAL News, "We view this as a money grab. This is an attack on good, honest, law-abiding farmers."
Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler is cheering for Smithfield, as the company represents the prosperous North Carolina pork industry.
"Hog farmers help feed our state, nation and world while operating under heavy regulation," Troxler wrote in a statement. "It's a shame these hardworking families will likely be sued for pursuing their livelihood within the requirements of the law. I certainly hope the farm families and this important economic sector won't be damaged."

Marguerite Garden, who smuggled documents in her books and helped Allied servicemen evade capture, was full of emotion when told she will receive the prestigious Legion d'Honneur at a ceremony in Edinburgh.
She said: "It will be very moving for me.
"When I found out, all my friends who have died passed in front of me and the events of 50 to 60 years ago came back to me.
"I nearly burst into tears."
Marguerite Garden
The 77-year-old, who now lives in Lanark, in Scotland, will be presented with the Legion d'Honneur -already bestowed upon her father - later this year.
From the age of 14 she assisted in the fight against the Nazis in her native France.
She organised escape routes for hundreds of people who faced arrest.
Mrs Garden checked the coastline for mines, helped to ensure Allied maps were accurate and passed messages between her home in Brittany and Paris.
She had to work alone when her father was forced to flee the Gestapo.
'Never arrested'
Mrs Garden said she could never tell her classmates what she was up to.
She said: "The most difficult thing was to be completely silent.
"I could not let them know what I was doing. It was a matter of life or death. But there was no reason to suspect me.
"I was a young girl travelling to school and I was never arrested."
Mrs Garden moved to Scotland after she married her late husband James in 1948 and they had seven children.
She was recommended for the award by French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin.

Former Australian captain Nathan Sharpe says there is "disillusionment" within the Wallabies after James O'Connor's alleged drunken airport incident.
The 116-Test veteran, who retired at the end of last year and played alongside O'Connor at the Force and in the Wallabies, said the 23-year-old had let down the team at a difficult period.
"He knew where he stood in the team and I think he let everyone down in the team because at the end of the day they expected a lot more of him and he's created controversy," Sharpe told Fox Sports' Rugby HQ on Thursday night.
Fellow panellist and former Test fullback Greg Martin said it was important that O'Connor not be pre-judged over the incident before a full examination of the facts could be made.
"He was on his way on holiday, he wasn't dressed in Australian [team] gear," Martin said. "There's going to be two sides to the story, too."
O'Connor is meeting with Australian Rugby Union [ARU] integrity officer Phil Thomson on Friday, along with his agent and Rugby Union Players' Association boss Greg Harris.
He was barred from boarding his Air Asia flight to Bali a few hours after the Wallabies 14-13 Test win over Argentina, with the airline and the Australian Federal Police citing intoxication as the reason.
It is understood a heated argument broke out over seating arrangements before the airline decided to not allow him to board.
The 44-Test winger, who made his Wallabies debut as a 19-year-old in 2009, recently spoke about wanting to be known for his football and not a series of controversial incidents that involved nights out or missing team meetings and functions.
Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie said when he took over two months ago that he and O'Connor had talked about expectations on and off the field and were on the same page.
"At the end of the day, he made it very clear and [Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie] made it very clear as well, 'no more'. It's going to be very interesting to see what happens," Sharpe said.
"You can't be off duty, the last time [before the second British and Irish Lions Test] was 4am in the morning in his own personal time. What's the difference? There's a Test in two weeks' time, there was a Test just the night before. I don't think it's going to wash."
Sharpe said it was up to the team to set their own standards internally so it was made clear to players what was and was not acceptable.
"Regardless of what comes out of the ARU, it has to be treated by the players in the team in combination with Ewen McKenzie and team management," he said.
"At the end of the day they're the ones that have to play with him and I think, for myself, I can't see how the team thinks James O'Connor has the team in his best interests. So they're the ones that need to deal with this.
"If they are fed up with it, they need to let him know that they're fed up with it and not going to tolerate any more of it."
The Wallabies have notched one victory from four Tests under McKenzie, and two from seven Tests this year.
They play the next eight matches away from home and face South Africa in Cape Town in little more than a weeks' time.
Sharpe said the incident came at a terrible time for a team trying to build a respectable set of results.
"I think definitely there's disillusionment within the team, because aside from the fact they're in a hard period where the boys are trying their guts out, they're trying to get the wins on the board that everyone wants from them, it's causing distractions outside of what they're doing anyway," he said.
"It adds to the furnace and the pressure that really the team doesn't need right now."
The Wallabies have also struggled to build a strong team culture, with McKenzie and fullback Israel Folau both speaking publicly about the importance of being close off the field to their performance on it.
Sharpe said incidents such as this most recent controversy involving one of the team's strongest performers, could jeopardise those efforts.
"In any team sport you can't get to a point where one player is indispensable. And certainly that needs to be the case," he said.
"Sure, a one-off incident, everyone makes mistakes and has made mistakes, but he has had a lot of chances and at what point do you jeopardise the culture of the team moving forward, which is the most important thing in team sport."

The message was to the point at two Memorial Day services hosted Saturday by the Anoka County Veterans Council – "never forget, ever honor."
The services were almost identical at the two locations, Morningside Memorial Gardens in Coon Rapids followed by the Veterans Memorial at Bunker Hills Regional Park.
A procession of veterans organizations in Anoka County and Boy Scout troops started each service followed by raising the colors; POW and MIA Angel service; veterans organizations and children placing wreaths and flowers, respectively; Betty Orton singing "Light a Candle for Peace" and "Sleep Soldier Boy;" Harold Reiner playing "I'll Be Seeing You" on the trumpet; Diane Bohlman, Anoka County Veterans Council chaplain, reading "In Flanders' Field;" a rifle salute by all squads; and Bob Pellow, Metro Marines, playing taps.
At the Morningside Memorial Gardens, there was also a reading by Gary Exley, Anoka County Veterans Council chairperson and Blaine VFW commander, of the names of those veterans buried in the cemetery's Field of Honor, while the bell at the cemetery tolled.
In addition, during the procession from 117th Avenue to Morningside Memorial Garden, a stop was made at the University Avenue bridge over Sand Creek where a wreath was tossed in the creek and a rifle squad fired off rounds to honor those lost a sea.
Anoka County Attorney Tony Palumbo was the guest speaker. In his introduction, Exley credited Palumbo with establishing a veterans court program to give veterans a second opportunity to get their lives back together if they commit misdemeanors, giving them lighter sentences.
In his presentation at both services, Palumbo gave a brief history of how the Memorial Day tradition came about and then presented his thoughts on the meaning of Veterans Day in today's world.
Its roots can be traced back to the Civil War, and Decoration Day became an annual remembrance in 1868 on May 30, then following World War I it was expanded to honor those who had fallen in all America's wars, according to Palumbo.
In 1967, Decoration Day became Memorial Day and in 1971, federal legislation changed the day to the last Monday in May, rather than May 30, Palumbo said.
At the same time, people were asked to stop for a moment of silence at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day to remember those who have died in service to their nation, he said.
Too often, the importance of Memorial Day is lost and it has become just another national holiday, a day off from work and store sales, Palumbo said.
"It is important to remember this day in respect of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice," he said. "It can and should be no less."
They are heroes whose actions in the past "have given us the ability to plan our future," Palumbo said.
Anoka County veterans organizations taking part in the services and sponsoring the picnic that followed the Bunker Hills Regional Park event included the nine VFW posts and auxiliaries, seven American Legion posts and auxiliaries, Military Order of the Cooties and 40&8, Military Order of the Purple Heart, Vietnam Veterans of America, Disabled American Veterans, Desert Storm veterans and veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Calm Down, Justin Bieber Is The Perfect Robin
Over the weekend, Justin Bieber posted a selfie to Instagram showing him holding what looks like the script to Batman Vs. Superman with the caption "#robin??" which naturally made the Internet go horse-fucking bananas because this whole thing's a compost heap of porn and comic books when it comes right down to it. (That's how you lure in the cats for the photo takin'.) Fortunately for those people the whole thing turned out to be a Funny or Die prop except I was actually on board with this because the movie's supposed to be inspired by The Dark Knight Returns, and you know who the Robin was in The Dark Knight Returns? Carrie Kelley. A girl:
They even have the same hair! But apparently that only counts for Lex Luthor which is sexist as fuck. I said it.

Ehrlichiae are transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected tick. The lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum) is the primary vector of both E. chaffeensis and E. ewingii in Arkansas. Typical symptoms include: fever, headache, fatigue, and muscle aches. Usually, these symptoms occur within 1-2 weeks following a tick bite. Ehrlichiosis is diagnosed based on symptoms, clinical presentation, and later confirmed with specialized laboratory tests. The first line treatment for adults and children of all ages is doxycycline. Ehrlichiosis and other tickborne diseases can be prevented.
Ehrlichiosis was first recognized as a disease in the United States in the late 1980's, but did not become a reportable disease until 1999. The Arkansas Department of Health conducts surveillance and investigates cases of Ehrlichiosis reported in Arkansas.
In the United States, the term "ehrlichiosis" may be broadly applied to several different infections. Ehrlichia chaffeensis and Ehrlichia ewingii are transmitted by the lonestar tick in the southeastern and south-central United States. The symptoms caused by infection with these Ehrlichia species usually develop 1-2 weeks after being bitten by an infected tick. The tick bite is usually painless, and about half of the people who develop ehrlichiosis may not even remember being bitten by a tick.
The following is a list of symptoms commonly seen with this disease; however, it is important to note that the combination of symptoms varies greatly from person to person.
Ehrlichiosis is a serious illness that can be fatal if not treated correctly, even in previously healthy people. Severe clinical presentations may include difficulty breathing, or bleeding disorders. The estimated case fatality rate (i.e. the proportion of persons who die as a result of their infection) is 1.8%. Patients who are treated early may recover quickly on outpatient medication, while those who experience a more severe course may require intravenous antibiotics, prolonged hospitalization or intensive care.
Skin rash is not considered a common feature of ehrlichiosis, and should not be used to rule in or rule out an infection. E. chaffeensis infection can cause a rash in up to 60% of children, but is reported in fewer than 30% of adults. Rash is not commonly reported in patients infected with E. ewingii. The rash associated with E. chaffeensis infection may range from maculopapular to petechial in nature, and is usually not pruritic (itchy). The rash usually spares the face, but in some cases may spread to the palms and soles. A type of rash called erythroderma may develop in some patients. Erythroderma is a type of rash that resembles sunburn and consists of widespread reddening of the skin that may peel after several days. Some patients may develop a rash that resembles the rash of Rocky Mountain spotted fever making these two diseases difficult to differentiate on the basis of clinical signs alone.
The severity of ehrlichiosis may depend in part on the immune status of the patient. Persons with compromised immunity caused by immunosuppressive therapies (e.g., corticosteroids, cancer chemotherapy, or long-term immunosuppressive therapy following organ transplant), HIV infection, or splenectomy appear to develop more severe disease, and may also have higher case-fatality rates (i.e. the proportion of patients that die from infection.)
Because Ehrlichia organisms infect the white blood cells and circulate in the blood stream, these pathogens may pose a risk to be transmitted through blood transfusions. E. chaffeensis has been shown to survive for more than a week in refrigerated blood. Several instances of suspected E. chaffeensis transmission through solid organ transplant have been investigated, although to date no cases have been confirmed that can be attributed to this route of transmission. Patients who develop ehrlichiosis within a month of receiving a blood transfusion or solid organ transplant should be reported to state health officials for prompt investigation. Use of leukoreduced blood products may theoretically decrease the risk of transfusion-associated transmission of these pathogens. However, the filtration process does not remove all leukocytes or bacteria not associated with leukocytes from leukoreduced blood; therefore, this process may not eliminate the risk completely.
There are several aspects of ehrlichiosis that make it challenging for healthcare providers to diagnose and treat. The symptoms vary from patient to patient and can be difficult to distinguish from other diseases. Treatment is more likely to be effective if started early in the course of disease. Diagnostic tests based on the detection of antibodies will frequently be negative in the first 7-10 days of illness. For this reason, healthcare providers must use their judgment to treat patients based on clinical suspicion alone. Healthcare providers may find important information in the patient's history and physical examination that may aid clinical suspicion. Information such as recent tick bites, exposure to areas where ticks are likely to be found, or history of recent travel to areas where ehrlichiosis is endemic can be helpful in making the diagnosis.
The healthcare provider should also look at routine blood tests, such as a complete blood cell count or a chemistry panel. Clues such as a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia), low white blood cell count (leukopenia), or elevated liver enzyme levels are helpful predictors of ehrlichiosis, but may not be present in all patients depending on the course of the disease. After a suspect diagnosis is made on clinical suspicion and treatment has begun, specialized laboratory testing should be used to confirm the diagnosis of ehrlichiosis.
The Arkansas Department of Health utilizes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) case definition for Ehrlichiosis. Current case definitions for all tickborne diseases can be found on the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) website.
Doxycycline is the first line treatment for adults and children of all ages and should be initiated immediately whenever ehrlichiosis is suspected. The clinical presentation for ehrlichiosis can resemble other tickborne diseases, such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and anaplasmosis. Similar to ehrlichiosis, these infections respond well to treatment with doxycycline. Healthcare providers should order diagnostic tests for additional agents if the clinical history and geographic association warrant.
Use of antibiotics other than doxycycline and other tetracyclines is associated with a higher risk of fatal outcome for some rickettsial infections.
Recommended Dosage
Doxycycline is the first line treatment for adults and children of all ages:
Avoiding being bit by a tick is the best prevention for Ehrlichiosis. Antibiotic treatment following a tick bite is not recommended as a means to prevent Ehrlichiosis. There is no evidence this practice is effective, and this may simply delay onset of disease. For more in-depth information about prevention of tickborne disease, please visit our Prevention of Mosquito and Tickborne Disease section. Additional information on tickborne disease can be found at CDC's Division of Vector-Borne Diseases (DVBD) webpage.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was hit by a driver who fled the scene before the police got there, and I didn't get a good look at the driver or car. Is it possible to file a personal injury claim in a situation like this?
If you don't know who hit you, it is impossible to file a suit against him. However, if you have uninsured motorist coverage, you may have a claim against your insurance company for your injury and damage. UM coverage is mandatory in North Carolina, unless you specifically opted out of it. Check your policy and make a claim with your insurance company or agent.
Although a response is provided to the specific question, there may be other facts and law relevant to the issue. The questioner should not base any decision on the answer and specifically understands and agrees that no client-lawyer relationship has been established between Bradley A. Coxe or Hodges & Coxe PC and the inquirer.Ask a similar question
Mr. Coxe provided excellent advice above. I would add that, even if you do not have uninsured motorist coverage on your policy, I would not give up. Depending on your facts, you may be insured under other policies. For example, if you reside with any blood relatives who have uninsured motorist coverage on their auto policy, you may be able to recover under those policies. This is just one example. If you were injured in this collision, I would certainly recommend that you contact an experienced injury attorney for a consultation.

People seem to have a blast playing Mario Kart. I've heard friends talk about playing for hours at a time and about how they wished they could play it in real life. Well, Waterloo Labs has made it possible.
The group of engineers at Waterloo Labs figure out how to put together everyday technologies for replicable innovations. Basically, they dream up crazy and cool projects and share the hows and whys with the world. In a recent episode, they explored re-creating Nintendo's Mario Kart game on a real track.
They came up with a go-kart system where players can race around the track and gather items as they go. The items they grab can change the behavior of the go-karts. Here's the overview of the system:
The go-karts behave normally until an item is detected. RFID tags embedded into each item transmit signals to the readers located on each kart. The compact RIO (cRIO) processes these signals and outputs the signals to control the corresponding pneumatic valves and servo motors that control the movement of the go kart. Steering is controlled with two pneumatic cylinders and the brake with one cylinder. The governor, or speed limiter, is controlled with two servo motors.
You know what that breaks down to? Going around a track on go-karts collecting stars and dodging obstacles like chain chomps. Yes, it looks as awesome as it sounds.
Watch the video after the break to see how it works.
You can download the entire project at Waterloo Labs.
