LAST CHANCE Through Dec. 9 at Theatre Three in the Quadrangle, 2800 Routh St., Dallas. $35-$40. 214-871-3300. theatre3dallas.com. For mature audiences.
Theatre Three is presenting Dallas' first locally produced professional version of Avenue Q in its basement. On the whole, director Michael Serrecchia sticks close to the original production's general outlines, down to specific vocal inflections, but there are enough cleverly original moments to keep things fresh. The show is that rare commodity, a musical for the just-out-of-college generation. It parodies Sesame Street with its TV segments teaching math and vocabulary lessons and its mixture of human characters and large puppets, including monsters. Don't be misled, however: The language and sexual frankness make this adults-only fare. This intimate show works much better in Theatre Too, T3's tiny basement space, than it did at Fort Worth's Bass Hall and Dallas' Winspear Opera House, where the national tours played.
LAST CHANCE Presented by Kitchen Dog Theater through Dec. 8 at the McKinney Avenue Contemporary, 3120 McKinney Ave., Dallas. $15-$30. 214-953-1055. kitchendogtheater.org.
Karen Parrish's performance as Maureen Folan in Kitchen Dog Theater's Beauty Queen of Leenane begins arrestingly enough. Toward the end of the first act, however, it turns incandescent. The central character in Martin McDonagh's career-making 1996 play is a 40-year-old Irishwoman who looks after a nagging, hypochondriac mother (Nancy Sherrard). When she hears that Pato Dooley (Scott Latham), an old flame who has long been working in England, is in town briefly for a family party, she runs out and buys a frivolous new dress. It's in the scene between Maureen and Pato after the party that something starts to bubble inside. Wave after wave of contradictory emotions emanate from the actress as the play rolls forcefully to its intermission.
Through Dec. 30 at Jubilee Theatre, 506 Main St., Fort Worth. $15-$25. 817-338-4411. jubileetheatre.org.
No doubt the history of black cowboys in the American West would make a good story for the stage. Black Spurs isn't it. Jubilee Theatre commissioned this musical by Houston playwright Celeste Bedford Walker and composer Ron Hasley. There's no real plot to command our interest. Black cowboys sign up for a cattle drive north from Fort Worth, shortly before the railroads would make such overland transportation of beef on the hoof obsolete. The young hero, Sam Peter (Winston Daniels), encounters only the mildest of obstacles. Director Tre Garrett has mostly cast the show with actors who are too young or inexperienced, so the script's weaknesses glare all the brighter.
Presented by the Dallas Theater Center through Dec. 23 at the Kalita Humphreys Theater, 3636 Turtle Creek Blvd. (entrance on Blackburn Street), Dallas. $15-$85, subject to change. 214-880-0202. dallastheatercenter.org.
The Dallas Theater Center's Christmas Carol does what any good Christmas carol is supposed to do: It assails you with tidings of comfort and joy. Dallas favorite Chamblee Ferguson as Scrooge is mean enough to play this meanest of old men, but he's funny at the same time. Steven Michael Walters stuffs down his natural exuberance to make Bob Cratchit a beaten but eminently decent man. Director- choreographer Joel Ferrell has cast most of the other roles with ideal precision. This version of the Charles Dickens story takes every emotion — terror, sorrow, hope and joy — and amps it up to the max.
Through Dec. 15 at Theatre Three in the Quadrangle, 2800 Routh St., Dallas. $10-$50. 214-871-3300. theatre3dallas.com.
If you love the tunes of George Gershwin, you'll go crazy for Crazy for You. A New York rich kid named Bobby Child wants to enter show business, but instead is sent out West to collect a banking debt. The one girl in the Nevada town, Polly Baker, inherited talent from her actress mother. Theatre Three has found nifty young performers for these leading roles. Sam Beasley has that Fred Astaire lanky elegance, fast feet and a stage smile that blends some masculine aggression into its high wattage. Emily Lockhart projects Ethel Merman's sass and a breezy Western manner, if not Merman's trumpetlike high notes.
Presented by the Lexus Broadway Series through Dec. 16 at the Winspear Opera House, 2403 Flora St., Dallas. $30-$150. 214-880-0202. attpac.org.
America's taste in music has caught up with Jekyll & Hyde — for better or for worse. It's more obvious than everhow much Frank Wildhorn owes The Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables, but some may be surprised at how well the composer's melodic gifts hold up after 15 years. In the new touring version at the Lexus Broadway Series, American Idol finalist Constantine Maroulis and R&B singer Deborah Cox bring a more contemporary singing style to the material. The show often veers dangerously toward schlock, but this production is executed with a weird but persuasive virtuosity.
Presented by WaterTower Theatre through Dec. 16 at Addison Conference and Theatre Centre, 15650 Addison Road, Addison. $30-$40. 972-450-6232. watertowertheatre.org.
Redoing a classic movie as a simulated live radio broadcast may not sound like the greatest idea. Yet It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play is surprisingly satisfying holiday fare. That's largely because WaterTower Theatre does it so well. Five outstanding actors keep the stage version just close enough to the soundtrack of Frank Capra's 1946 film to satisfy the most nostalgic audience members, and just fresh enough to preclude boredom. Matthew Laurence-Moore handles the James Stewart role perfectly. His timbre and inflections vividly recall the ones on the original soundtrack, but you never feel Laurence-Moore is doing an imitation or impersonation.
LAST CHANCE Through Dec. 9 at Stage West, 821 W. Vickery Blvd., Fort Worth. $28-$32. 817-784-9378. stagewest.org.
Maybe what She Loves Me has needed all along is an intimate space the size of Stage West's. Die-hard Broadway- musical buffs have always had a soft spot for this 1963 show with book by Joe Masteroff (Cabaret) and songs by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on the Roof). Adapted from the same play that suggested the plot for the Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan movie You've Got Mail, the stage musical keeps to the original pre-World War II Hungarian setting. Bock's tunes evoke the waltzes, gypsy melodies and tangos of the era. Director Jim Covault's cast sings well enough, though not with a high degree of finish. Still, the performers all act so charmingly and convincingly that She Loves Me both touches and entertains.

An influx of money will help an Ozone Park school engineer some higher learning.
The High School for Construction Trades, Engineering and Architecture, at 94-06 104th St., is one of 10 academies of engineering across the country set to receive a combined $50,000 in funding from the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering.
The Ozone Park school was selected based on its commitment to enhancing learning opportunities for minority students on track to pursue higher education in science, technology, engineering and math careers.
"The High School for Construction Trades, Engineering and Architecture has enjoyed a long-standing partnership with the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering since we first opened our doors seven years ago," said Assistant Principal Steven Wynn. "During this time, NACME has generously supported our school's mission through grants, scholarships, student internships, business and university partnerships, and through their vast network of professional resources. We are extremely grateful for their ongoing support in providing educational resources to minority high school students interested in pursuing careers in math, science, technology and engineering" — known as STEM education.
Wynn said the school's faculty is still determining the best way to use the funds, which will amount to a windfall of $5,000. NACME officials said the funding will provide equipment and other classroom materials for high school students and their teachers that will help them participate in hands-on learning.
Along with the spending cash, the school also received NACME's Pre-Engineering Scholarship applications in the amount of $2,500. This will give students a range of resources available through NACME.
"The students in academics of engineering like Construction Trades Engineering and Architecture School are going to be tomorrow's engineers, so we need to provide them with every possible opportunity to succeed," said Dr. Irving Pressley McPhail, NACME president and CEO.
The grant is made possible through a $150,000 contribution to NACME made by AT&T to promote high-tech skills among minority students.
"There is an increasing demand among employers for workers with high-tech skills and AT&T is committed to helping to foster these skills in students such as those attending Construction Trades Engineering and Architecture School," said Marissa Shorenstein, president of AT&T New York. "By supporting STEM education programs, we can ensure that as many students as possible have access to the skills they need to succeed in college and in the global economy."
In addition to the Ozone Park school, nine other engineering institutes in Texas, Wisconsin, California, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, Missouri, Louisiana and North Carolina each received $5,000 in funding.
"AT&T's support for the 10 high schools in the Academy of Engineering model is an excellent example of the strength of this commitment and makes a compelling case for the efficacy of private-public partnerships in advancing STEM education," McPhail said.

This camera was last used in 2008 and has been stored in a bedroom cupboard ever since. I've just noticed that there is still a full roll of IR film inside. i can leave it in or shoot it myself. I shoot mostly medium and large format, so my 35 mm cameras must all go onto the auction block as I'm not a collector, but use all of my cameras. I'm asking for $150, plus shipping.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has purchased 13 acres of prime downtown Salt Lake City real estate from The Sinclair Companies, formerly known as Sinclair Oil Corp., the hotel and oil corporation owned by Utah billionaire Earl Holding.
The property is located on two city blocks between 400 South and 500 South and between West Temple and the Matheson Courthouse.
The LDS Church confirmed the sale Thursday afternoon.
The sales price was not disclosed by either party nor on the special warranty deed filed with the Salt Lake County Recorder's Office.
"The land was purchased as a long-term investment with no immediate plans for development," said LDS Church spokesman Scott Trotter.
Trotter said Property Reserve Inc. — a development arm of the LDS Church currently building the City Creek Center, a $3 billion office, retail and residential development in the space formerly occupied by the ZCMI Center and Crossroads Mall — obtained the property.
The deed to the property was signed Dec. 14, according to property records.
"It's the block north of Little America, the entire 10-acre block," Sinclair spokesman Clint Ensign said. "I believe that's Block 40. And then it is 3 acres directly east of Block 40. It's the block where the state courthouse is."
The property had been a surface parking lot.
"There's a number of different tenants downtown who we have that parked with us," Ensign said.
Over the past decade, numerous prospective buyers had approached Sinclair about buying the parking lot.
Sinclair never sold, but last June, Holding offered the property to Salt Lake County for no cost if the county would consider building a new convention center there instead of partnering in a hotel project near the Salt Palace.
But the idea never got off the ground, Salt Lake County Councilman Joe Hatch said, because the Salt Palace has been functioning as a convention center for years.
"There was never really any thought of blowing up our convention center and building one down there," Hatch said. "I think we kind of viewed it as an interesting argument."
Holding offered the property as the county was discussing building a new hotel near the Salt Palace to accommodate tourists. An advisory committee had been assembled to address the issue and Sinclair representatives are participating on the committee, said Jim Braden, spokesman for Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon.
"We were told awhile back it's being sold," Braden said.
According to deed paperwork at the recorder's office, Property Reserve is nonprofit, and there is no loan associated with the property purchase.176 comments on this story
With the deed, Property Reserve had to agree to some conditions, including not selling the land without first offering to sell it back to Sinclair. The company's right of first refusal is good for 25 years, unless Sinclair sells both the Little America and Grand America hotels before then.
Property Reserve can lease or transfer all or a portion of the property without triggering Sinclair's right of first refusal to an "affiliated entity," which the deed defines as a corporation with at least 80 percent of outstanding stock owned by Sinclair, Property Reserve or another LDS Church entity.

Special Coverage
New York Int'l Auto Show
Expect the Hyundai Equus to start in the mid-$50,000 range when it goes on sale in the U.S. later this year, Hyundai Motor America says, noting the price is tens of thousands of dollars below other fullsize luxury sedans.
The Equus, a nameplate sold by Hyundai Motor Co. Ltd. for years in its home market of South Korea, makes its official North American debut today at the 2010 New York auto show.
The new flagship sedan will be the most expensive, well-appointed Hyundai ever sold in the U.S. and will go toe-to-toe with pricier fullsize luxury sedans such as the Lexus LS and BMW 7-Series.
Hyundai says the Equus meets or exceeds certain performance specs of the LS 460, as well as the Mercedes-Benz S550.
For instance, the 378-hp Equus with regular unleaded gasoline is 2 hp away from the LS 460's 380-hp rating using premium fuel. The 385-hp Equus using premium gas exceeds the S550's 382 hp.
The Equus' estimated fuel economy of 19 mpg (12.4 L/100 km), overall, matches the LS and bests the S550's 18 mpg (13.1 L/100 km).
The most notable advantage for the Equus is Hyundai's tradition of value pricing, with the car beginning between $50,000 and $60,000, compared with starting prices of $65,000 for the '10 LS and $91,000 for the S550.
The Equus, riding on Hyundai's rear-wheel-drive platform that underpins the Genesis sedan, is dimensionally similar to both the LS and S550, although the latter is 2.5 ins. (6.4 cm) longer and boasts 42.3 ins. (107 cm) of rear legroom, compared with the Equus' 38.9 ins. (99 cm).
Hyundai bills the Equus as a good choice for the "busy executive" in the U.S., although it stops short of promoting the car as a chauffeur-driven vehicle, as it does in Korea.
The Equus will offer many technologies, including a lane-departure warning system, adaptive cruise control and an air-suspension system. A forward-view camera to aid maneuvering around blind corners is optional, integrated into the Equus' grille.
A driver-information system inside the car contains a navigation system, iPod jack, Bluetooth, satellite radio and HD Radio. A Lexicon audio system has 17 speakers making 608 watts of sound.
The Equus is powered by Hyundai's Tau 4.6L V-8 engine, 2-time winner of a Ward's 10 Best Engines award, and mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission from ZF Friedrichshafen AG.
The Tau, also in the Genesis sedan, makes 333 lb.-ft. (451 Nm) of torque in the Equus using premium gasoline, or 324 lb.-ft. (439 Nm) with regular.
Hyundai pegs the Equus' 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time under 6.4 seconds.
The car's 5-link front- and rear-suspension geometry improves steering-wheel control, the auto maker says, and is maximized via continuous damping control.
Chrome 19-in. alloy wheels are standard on the '11 Equus, and tires boast staggered widths to improve road grip, Hyundai says.
Inside, the Equus has the hallmarks of a large luxury sedan, including leather upholstery, real wood trim and a "French-stitched" instrument panel. An Alcantara suede-like headliner is used.
All seat bottoms and backs are heated and cooled, and the driver's seat has an optional massage feature. Power reclining seats with footrests are optional for the two rear seats.
Safety features include nine airbags, electronic stability control and electronic active head restraints.
Hyundai describes the Equus' exterior as "handsome and pleasing to the eye," calling the taillights bold, shoulders strong and the overall look one of "precision."
Notable are light-emitting diode rear turn-signal indicators and white LED position lamps, part of an adaptive front-lighting system.
The Equus goes on sale in the U.S. in late summer. As Ward's first reported, Hyundai plans to sell the car through select dealers who subscribe to a showroom-within-a-showroom plan that sections off the Equus and Genesis from the rest of Hyundai's lineup.

The warrior lays her weary head,
With heavy heart she cannot bear,
Burning tears stream down her face,
As whispered memories touch the ear.
Her armour tarnished by remorse,
Her battle-cry a wimpered row,
Her wounds, of which bleed solitude,
Will never know forgiveness now.
The song began two score ago,
When two came knocking at her door,
In need of refuge from the world,
Of that, and love, and little more.
Forced to fight for every smile,
Her only solace found in song,
She longed for love to rescue her,
And plant her where she could belong.
Jealous tongues are seldom kind,
Self-seeking hearts know nought of love,
The caged canary only sings,
When coaxed to praise from up above.
For the steely spine that now I own,
Forever shall I grateful be,
A gift from her, and from her own.
Courage mounted inwardly.
I'll not forget how I have loved thee,
And youthful memories I will prize,
Til on the shore of His forgiveness,
Whereto now, we both shall rise.

in love with you forever
sorrow can heal wounds
through sickness and health
I grew that day…
I knew that day…
I had high hopes of a well spent future with him. Dreams of us sailing into the sunset and sharing sweet kisses underneath the constellations. They were our constellations. But that day…
-I just knew.
Working so hard was indeed a burden he bore and giving of himself was tiring him out even more than usual. Catching his breath was not easy. I saw it in his eyes that night. The same look he gave me when his sister had passed last year. A trip to the doctor confirmed it. Sarcoidosis. What? I have never heard of this disease before. An auto-immune inflammatory disease that affects multiple organs of the body. His immune system had been overreacting and his organs are slowly shutting down. His skin had been tightening and his joints had been sore.
There he was…staring out the window thinking about all the things he would miss as a daddy. There I was…staring at him thinking about all the things I would miss about…nothing but…him. My first love. My high school sweetheart. Twenty years is never long enough to spread our wings as committed lovers. "Our little girl is only ten", I thought. How are we to explain this to her when she cannot see the damage physically? No surgeries to fix this, and no treatments to prevent it from getting worse. The love of my life was going to slowly die right before my eyes.
Months had flown and we had many days of struggle and tears, although we did create many exceptional memories to add to our photo book. It took some time to accept this but I think I tried the best I could. Many good days had passed but one chilly Saturday afternoon in October we held hands gathered around my dear Nicholas. He gave his last kiss to his Ella on her upper right cheek. I saw him take his last breath and he was gone…
-I just knew.
Years had passed, seasons had changed, and our little girl was going to be married in fifteen minutes. Oh, how she missed her daddy walking her down the aisle. She chose me to walk her down the aisle instead and of course, I was honored. The music started playing and our families stood up and Ella looked at me with a twinkled tear in her eye and said, "mom, daddy's here, I can feel him giving me a kiss on my upper right cheek." She had a beautiful beauty mark on her upper right cheek and her daddy used to kiss it every night before bed and whisper, "daddy loves you..." We looked at each other and we both knew…
-we just knew.
love of my life gone
married with daddy's blessing

Strobe lights loud music
silver glitter balls
reflective tiny stars
dot the dance floor hall.
She was grinding and pumping
body toned tight and fast
she was the centre of attention
her choice her last dance.
She expertly glided
up and down the polished pole
her red satin outfit
simply amplified the show.
As she flawlessly moved
to the chants of the men
drawing into herself
shone a dazzling grin.
Becoming one with the pole
giving it her very all
this was her last song
head high standing tall.
As she smiled and waved
searching deep within her core
for this one final bow
were loud whistles and roars.
She quickly grabbed her outfit
running to the door backstage
in the comfort of her robe
kissed a picture daughter Paige.
I did this for you
my sweet baby girl
for college bound you are
with the money I have earned.
The men cheered loudly
she reached her last goal
turning from the mirror
freely flew her soul.

Dedicated to my Dad Jerry W. Niday 3/20/1952 - 6/18/2013
I am who I am because of him
He's the reason for my son's name
He gave me my courage & my strength
To stand tall even when standing wasn't easy
Stand for the ones who can't
To think and fend for myself
I'm my Daddy made over
Taught me to fight back
To never back down
How to pick myself back up
When I've been knocked down
Fight for what I believe
I'm my Daddy made over
He gave me my stubbornness
Gave me my pride
Gave me my temper
Taught me not to take crap
To speak my mind no matter who
Work for what I want
I'm my Daddy made over
How to keep my emotions in check
How to handle large amounts of pain
When in trouble he always had my back
He knew how my mind worked better than anyone
I got it from him
I'm my Daddy made over
Even though he's gone
I'll stand and continue on
I may stumble I may fall
May even get hurt along the way
But I'll pick myself back up
I'll dust myself off and stand tall
I'm honored and proud to say
I'm my Daddy made over

We lost more than just a Dad that day
We lost half of how we came to be
We lost we four girls first love
We lost our Best Friend
We lost more than just a Dad that day
Our Mom lost her Soul Mate, Her other half
Our children lost their Papaw
We lost our family's foundation
We lost the glue that held us together
We lost more than just a Dad that day
We lost the Strongest man we ever knew
We lost the man we looked up too
We lost we four girls Teacher of many things
We lost more than just a Dad that day
We four girls lost our Hero
We lost some of our Light
We lost part of our Heart
We lost part of our Soul
We lost more than just a Dad that day
We lost some of our Courage
We lost some of our Strength
We lost some of our will to fight back
We lost some of our will to carry on
We four girls lost more than a Dad
We lost more than just a Dad that day
sometimes i talk to myself,
my mind is racing,
i dont know what to do...
so hard to explain.
depression isn't a stage
or a faze some kids go through
it shatters you...
i saw it all.
she cried silent in her bed,
blood stains covered her favorite jeans,
her every shirt,
long sleeve ofcourse...
she suffered through it all with few people to call friend
and more to call enemy
even more to say where quite dissappointed....
her first name in school,
not started by a bully
or a mean rival,
but by her sister,
and it echoed through her soul,
repeating in her mind... over and over again,
like the ripples of still water
when a pebble is dropped
flash frozen in time
over and over again...
It was the first name they gave her,
millions where created over the years,
some unique
some repeating again, just as the first had..
gothic they called her,
emo, fat, ugly....worse things.
but in her mind, things where worse.
everything was repeating,
over and over again,
finally she believed it.
she asked for help, from everyone
tried to explain to parents she wasnt well,
got called a psycho for asking to see a theripist,
not from a teacher,
not from a class mate,
but from her own father, who wouldn't, couldn't,
believe there could possibly be a thing wrong....
finally, crying, she confessed her bloody secret to a teacher.
rather then giving her time,
she is sent back to class crying her eyes out, as if she wherent going through enough...
she is sent to the principals office a few minutes later, after breaking down in class...
the princlipal says she needs help,
sends her and her dad for a risk evaluation,
her dads crying as she shows him her cuts...
they walk into a hospital room,
it smells of chemicals and hand sanitizer,
the lady at the desk gives her a smile.
then she goes into a room with a lady,
her cheeks are sunken in and shes wearing way too much makeup,
the girl is gaging on her perfume,
and she looks really intimidating....
her dark brown hair looks dead and flat
even though its a bit wavy,
and she wears somewhat of a mocking frown.
asks her all these questions,
is mommy beating her?
is daddy raping her?
is she doing drugs?
not alot
is anyone beating her?
did anyone molest her?
oxcarbezapine, trazadone, citalipran, clinazapam, colonipan,
valium, lithium, more.......
and thats what they gave her,
some numbed the pain
some brought it out
tearing through her organs,
she became an addict by the time she was fourteen....
over dose after over dose
some for pleasure
some for pain,
gashes on her legs getting deeper,
this time she didnt tell a soul,
not even those she had come to call friends....
wakeup she screamed in her head over and over again
as she dropped weight like it was nothing....
you cant controll it she argued as things became worse.
at age fourteen she attempted suicide,
she didnt quite succeed.
the medication took away her aappitite....
she liked it
she hated her body
hated herself
felt out of controll
found a new way to cope
as she shoved tooth brush after toothbrush down her throat
to keep her body from nuitrients...
as she whent weeks and weeks spitting food into napkins and making excuses
I ate at my friends house....
spoken as a whisper
heard like a sentance
echoing in her mind over and over again,
along with that word, all the words,
ugy, anoying, stupid, fake, worthless, nothing...
one bite she would say
rocking back and forth
craving nothing but food
her body racked with hunger pain
one bite and there she was again
over and over and over again
back to a toothbrush
this time she sees blood
she saw her ribs
she saw her bones,
it wasnt good enough,
she almost died, again....
choking on this deep dissappointment in herself,
gaging on everything they where pushing down her throat,
their words, and their insults, their criticism.... their drugs
all shoved down her throat like candy
and just as she was was trained to do she swallowed despite the bad taste
or the hurt
or the fact that at the rate she was going she would be dead soon...
and you know why?
because daddy yelled
and couldnt accept what was happening
not because he wanted to hurt her
but because it hurt him,
and she let him believe,
because she could take the hurt if it meant he didnt have too.
because mommy didnt want to sit in her room all day
smoking weed
doing nothing,
practically having us raise ourselves,
she didnt mean to take anger, or frustration or hurt out on her daughter
she suffered everyday in her solitary confinement,
and from a young age she accepted her bedroom was the cage
her mother had created for herself.
because sister didnt want to effect her the way she did
she was just frustrated
fed up with the way things where
scared, she needed someone to take her cruelty
and to help heal her pain...
because people in school
who where so cruel
had to have learned from somewhere
and she wasnt going to play into their games,
and they knew she was an easy target
because she would never attack someone so weak
and she accepted her suffering was a sacrafice
to help all these people....
to help her dad,
her mom,
her sister,
every person who was beaten abused or hurt
and felt so weak at home they wanted to feel strong in the one safe place they had.
because depite the fact she had died inside,
and almost passed away on the out,
it was a saccrafice she was willing to make
so that no one else would have to feel that kind of pain,
and they all inflicted it and broke her down'untill there was nothing left but a shell
of somthing that could have been
and never had the chance
and why?
because she would take it and wouldnt strike back,
because sometimes "just taking it"
isnt so much about the weakness not to do anything
but about the strangth not to hurt others the way they hurt you...

She showed me the clouds
and how to walk on the ninth one. A dreamer.
In the absoluteness of her mind, no barriers
exist within existence
as if her battles have
been won. I think she craves to fly,
past those clouds---another possibility
to make possible, a challenge
to challenge. Or dream about.
She probably thinks that when I complain
I cannot see the clouds,
the way she did when things got rough
in life. Of course, I beg to differ.
She dreams. I live. I don't
keep my eyes on clouds all day
as if there is nothing else to see
to make me understand the world better.
I suppose I'll rest one day, exhausted
by the what-ifs and whys, while Mama smiles
and points upward.

On the edge
of the evacuation zone
Miyuki holds her daughter
tip-toeing in pink sneakers
her small hands fragile
blossoms opening
to the man with the beeping wand
They were outside in the karesansui
washing and raking
rocks, when the school
heaved, convulsed
then pressed into silence
voices rising inside
So now they wait with strangers
in ordered lines of sorrow
for bread and drinking water
as an adolescent, eyes downcast
sees the small pink laces and
offers up his only ration
of precious onigiri
Hooded and white masked they walk
three days and bed-less nights toward
Ishinomaki by the ocean
to family, friends, and home forever
The landscape jumbles unfamiliar
with plastic wreckage
and automobiles
detritus flooded in a field
where Japonica once grew
while moon-suited men
and women gather
albums for the living
And after sunset Miyuki moves
her little girl away
from a white-taped blue-bagged
lifeless form
toward the humming black-robed Monk, his
prayers for light
and workers burned
exposed to radiation ten
thousand times too high
And in the shadows one old man kneels
beside a fetid pool and scoops
rice to carry back to neighbours
moved to higher ground, un-opens
one last bottled spirit
bows his head and offers
Miyuki and her first and only
everything he has
At last they reach the shelter's glow
beneath the starless robe of night
not used to wearing
shoes indoors
Miyuki helps her daughter fold
sheets of painful news into
an origami box to hold
her last and only pair
And in the morning as they face
the stretch of road for home
to unknown love and losses there
they turn and gaze toward the east
awaiting still
spring's warming breeze
to rise with brilliant red once more
new light of wondrous dawn
'karesansui' is a Japanese rock garden or 'dry landscape'. Rocks are often washed.
'onigiri' is the emergency rice being distributed to survivors in Japan.
'Japonica' is a type of (short-grained) Japanese rice.

There once was a day I would watch every airplane.
Praying you was on it to come take me away.
As a child I wanted you around until the day, you actually came.
The day you came is the day my life forever changed.
I remember as if it was yesterday when you physically violated me.
Mental visions as early as the age of eight, but old enough to vociferate.
Visualizing mental pictures in my mind while I am awake very aware of the improper abuse I take.
Your body on me feels something like an autopsy of a dead body.
While you lay on top of me as you press aggressively on me.
Against my will your force kept me still.
I am trying to understand if you recognize who I am.
I try to say no hoping you can comprehend; I am weakling as you apprehend.
Mentally and physically I became involuntarily your property.
A main character in a horror story, and you were my predatory.
I asked "God why?" as I bare to stare into his eyes.
This is not thee love I seek; all I wanted was my father to love me, but not like this injustice of violation of my rights.
This love is not real; not the love I wished to feel.
As he tries to stick his tongue into my mouth too young to know what this is all about.
I grip my lips painfully tight as he tries to slip his tongue inside.
I close them tighter with all my might, as he whispers, "let me love you right"
I beg him to leave as he pried my legs open with his knees my insides scream "somebody please help me!"
As he whispers how much he loves me I'm praying for God to just kill me.
I rather be dead then a man's punching bag.
As I lay there my body was dead, and I laid my soul to rest.
I looked around the room and seen the Old Spice on the desk the same fragrance he wore around his neck.
The sun began to rise as he began to close my thighs.
In that moment in time I had made up my mind any man that ever say they love me was just telling lies.
I learned the hard way that love does not kill your inside; love does not take your pride.
A fatherless child I shall forever reside.
Every day that passes that little eight-year-old girl dies slowly inside.
Asking Jesus," Why permit this?" and he slowly whispers…as I gently whimpers, "faith is the light that guide you through the darkness, my words reflecting as a lamp unto my feet."
"Walk unto my path I'm here to carry the weak, come into me you are weary and overburdened. I will carry the pain you have obtained."
"I am your father and you are my child you are never fatherless because I'm always around."

Lift your gaze upwards daughter of the sun,
Feel its enveloping warmth upon your ivory skin,
Allow the melting star shine to wash over thee,
And be at one with the mornings dawning.
Enlightenment's sister arise, inhale the evergreen
Fragrances of nature in all its raw wonderment, for you live
Within the circle of life, and are among the spiritual
Kindred known as humanity.
Oh gentle spirit hush, listening to the splendor of
Loving, remember the touch of the golden moments,
And cherish them within your silvery locks of age.
Precious is this treasure box, held deeply within our
Fragile human hearts, tender angel of light you are
The delicate rose frozen in a timeless repose,
Leaving petals of friendship in your shadow footprints
Behind thee.
Softly thy tears of the spring rain of sorrow falls upon
The roof tops of pain, emotions thunderstorms of summer
Rush against your shield of endurance, yet you will prevail,
For with every challenge of the seasons makes us stronger,
Even in our age of winter.
Life's waltz plays in tune with the ticking of time, spread forth
Your gown of beauty, let thy shifts blow wild and freely,
Enjoy the rheum's spell cast, for we are the spiritual kindred
Of the heavenly transcended, unique, individual, a muse unto
The angels of God's kingdom beyond these our earthly bonds.
Come the day that thee shall sway in the cradle of the universe
Once more, I'll morn for thee, and yet celebrate thy testament of
Your life always.
Alone we enter unto a cold world, nurtured by the guiding hands
Of our loved ones, a child grows bundled in love and warmth,
Strong a lady now stands holding others hands within hers,
Yielding all that makes her human unto the generations of loving.
Lift your gaze upwards daughter of the sun,
Feel its enveloping warmth upon your ivory skin,
Allow the melting star shine to wash over thee,
And be at one with the mornings dawning.

The most tender I have ever known
The world of never you created
Best example of love a lesson learnt
Mama cry no more
Stranger no more am I to this world
Mama I have learnt its tricks
The hills are lower now, the tunnels are brighter
Mama cry no more
Mama let me dry your tears
I will pop the toaster, crunch the flakes
Spread the marmalade, bubble your bath tub
Mama cry no more
The jet is ready, your ticket at hand
The line will dress you up with the queen's taste
The fruits of your labour, its time you had the taste
Mama cry no more.

John Weaver 2000 (Emily has cerebral palsy)
Her room is not the sort of room you'd quite expect to find
For a little girl whose love of life is clear
No toys or games or bats or balls, or fun things of that kind
No bicycle or skateboard will appear
But the little piece of crumpled silver paper
It's very cheerful and bright with pictures everywhere
A pump to feed her through the night and a big adapted chair
Though pretty dolls sit on the shelf and teddies on her bed
She cannot play with them herself so she holds them tight instead
And the little piece of crumpled silver paper
It was Christmas day some years ago with excitement in the air
When we opened her presents and then found
That she couldn't play with them and it didn't seem quite fair
That she would always be so cruelly bound
To a life without the toys that all children adore
And then we heard a new sound that meant so much more
A crackle from the little piece of crumpled silver paper
The expensive gifts didn't matter to this special little girl
Her joy came from quite another caper
As the parcels and the packaging slowly started to unfurl
All she wanted was the silver wrapping paper
You see, she could grasp it tight to make a funny noise instead
And so it fast became a dear friend
And she holds it close beside her even when she goes to bed
And the lesson to be learned is, in the end…
Happiness is not always found in gifts so big and costly
And often simple things can bring the joy you need
Contentment is a state of mind and the choice is yours mostly
To be content with what you've got and with every little deed
Or, to always be in want and never satisfied
And so for me the real belief will never taper
That the truth of life is clear and very closely tied
To the little piece of crumpled silver paper.

Enter a storybook tale
Where I can be
The heroine you hail
Lucid dreams of soft reflection
A touch heated with lust and desired protection
A breathe a gasp as we succeed
Join the fairytale with me
Valiant night within dark eyes
the right movement and I make them shine
like moonlight on the steamy hot spring
care to follow for a little dip with me
Trailing like the water at my fingertips
Grasp me around my hips
As close as the breeze on my skin
Whisper lies as I let you in
Lips mumbling up my thighs
bare heart exposed to the sky
fire burning in my veins
Am I a mistress of this lust or simply a slave
Trembling with desire
Take me till we've lost count of the hours
enter this storybook tale
Where I can be the heroine you hail

I never did the
''He loves me not....
He loves me'' game
with flowers.
I already knew nobody loved me
so why should I listen
to a stupid flower?
I did make wishes
on dandelions
after the bloom died
and it was tiny spikes of fluff
waiting to blow away
till next year.
I hated wasting my time
but I couldn't resist.
I figured
''If there's even a small hope
that this will work....
I've got to try! ''
I would find a spot
where nobody could see me
and I'd whisper
my one wish
the same wish
every time.
Thousands of dandelions
blown away
by my pleading breath.
I never told a soul
my wishes.
Until now.
I wished to be happy
one day...
with a husband
who loves me
and kids who love me.
I wished so hard...
I never thought
those dandelions
were listening.

Extraordinary, I am
Craving for unusual thoughts
Endless exploration without boundary
Understanding the gift I shouldn't fought
Invisible drawings in my mind
Playing with the words in my head
My passion
The food of my soul
I feel so lucky
The random thoughts
A lifetime companion
A self esteem builder
A goal planner
Be my forever life saver
I write more
I talk less
I want to please
I chose to bore
What tickles me the most
Is to know what I'm for
Thinking is my love
When my mind goes empty
That's when I hate
My day dreaming lust
Organizing things in my mind
Playing roles of simulation
Where images of art is my vision
And words of attitude is my heart

My eyes are my voice,
I was not born like this by choice,
My eyes enjoy all they see,
And on most days I am quite happy.
My eyes are my voice,
I was not born like this by choice,
My voice, although not quite loud,
Can always melt hearts in a crowd.
My eyes are my voice,
I was not born like this by choice,
Please don't judge me because I am unable,
I don't deserve that kind of label.
My eyes are my voice,
I was not born like this by choice,
My mom says it's part of Gods plans,
I believe her, we're His biggest fans!
Are your eyes your voice?
Were you born like that by choice?
Is your voice quiet or is it loud?
And can it be heard, or felt, in a crowd?
My eyes are my voice,
I was not born like this by choice,
Some people think I am broken,
But others say, no, just soft-spoken.
My eyes are my voice,
I was not born like this by choice,
My smiles and giggles are not misplaced,
They are there on my pretty face!
My eyes are my voice,
I was not born like this by choice,
I have feelings like all the rest,
I am me at my worst, and my very best.
My eyes are my voice,
I was not born like this by choice,
Researchers are searching at a steady pace,
Rett Syndrome cure is their race!
My eyes are my voice,
I was not born like this by choice,
Look into my voice, it's plain to see,
A cure is needed for my Rett sisters and me!

When I was very young,
Dad and I would fly my kite.
So one day I finally asked him,
"how does God make wind and light?"
"Only God can answer that."
He told me with a smile.
"So ask him when you get there!"
I nodded, then played a while.
When we first turned sixteen,
my best friend got a brand new car.
We had plans for Friday night,
but Wednesday, she didn't get far.
I cried when I hung up the phone,
"Daddy! Why my best friend?"
He came and sat down on my bed,
as we talked about the end.
"Only God can answer that."
He told me with a smile.
"So ask him when you get there."
Then I laid and cried a while.
Further down the road,
I stood dressed up in white.
The night that I'd been waiting for,
I'd found my Mr. Right!
I asked, "Daddy why am I so blessed?
I seem to have it all!
When some just have no luck,
they don't have much at all."
"Only God can answer that."
He told me with a smile.
"So ask him when you get there."
Then he walked me down the aisle.
Then thirty years flew by.
Two jobs, Dad's cancer, and my baby.
and Daddy's time grew shorter,
and every day became a maybe.
Then sadly the Dr. said "its time to say goodbye "
and by his bed I stood.
I just couldn't believe it,
that he'd be gone for good.
"Daddy why do you have to go?"
I asked him as I sobbed.
I knew it was his time,
but still, my heart felt robbed.
"I'll ask him when I get there..."
he told me with a smile.
"If I even care! I'll meet Jesus in a while!
I know you think that this will hurt you,
but these days are grains of sand,
and heaven is the Ocean!
We'll be together once again."

My Parents Did Their Best To Raise Me
As a child, my parents did their best to raise me.
Teaching me about God, because they loved me!
They taught me God's ways,.
This was their intention.
They read the Bible,
with an undivided attention.
Each day I awoke. I was glad mom
and dad where there.
Especially when we gathered
around the table in prayer.
The many times we spent together I haven't forgot.
I'm so thankful for the Christian values taught.
The values helped shape me into
what I am today.
And have helped keep me on "the narrow way."
I believe many of these values
are being discarded.
Even before many families are being started.
A respect for God's word seems
to be a thing of the past.
It's no wonder many relationships don't last.
God's principles must be our daily ambition.
His love must be our rock and a TRUE foundation!
We must seek his purpose
and divine way of living.
It's HIS example that must be our way of giving!
Giving to others kindness and love
that binds us as one.
Through the witness we have in Christ… His son!
May God bless our hearts and
homes in one accord.
As we give our attention
to Jesus Christ our Lord!

I visited a garage sale. And had a
surprised look on my face.
I noticed that some things
were "out of place."
To my right... Was a shelf filled with books..
And Christian ones too.
To my left... Was a sign that read;
"I have adult movies for you."
I wondered and thought with
some kind of amazement.
"Does this person read these books.
And watch this "entertainment?"
This is common in many Christian homes...
Often... People cross God's
"boundaries" and "safety zones."
Anyone can go to church.
Pray, sing and "shed a tear."
Not realizing that sin's temptation
is drawing ever so near.
Do you seek God's holiness and the
power of Jesus' name?
But each night... Before bedtime...
Things aren't quite the same...
Have you opened up your heart
and mind... And live life unfulfilled?
Is this the way you ought to live?
Is this what God has willed?
He desires to live inside of you.
And help you to discover.
With any stronghold in life. He'll help you to recover!
Are things in life "out of place?"
And need to be put back together?
Allow God's word to guide you!
His promises are forever!
Everything will be where it should be...
With Jesus In control!
Only he can defeat the enemy that
seeks to destroy your soul!

The man with the plastic bug in his head
monopolized my dreams last night
in the place that the horsefly of my dignity
finally surrender to the impresario without a fight.
Seven days and 7 hours transplanted in my memorabilia
reminding the rustiness of the purple child
flatterers danced beneath the clouds of melancholy
and morality spreader the master plan inside my mind.
The disinheritance of my immortality the final day
discouraged my desire to see the forbidden love
restored my will to escape
manipulated the deep of the uncertainty above.
Released from the plastic bug in my head
try to cover my yellow child in the purple sky
seven days and seven hours before he dies.

Mind wandering through misty woods.
You don't understand your purpose.
I knew you too little,
Please do not shed your salty emotions,
Not out of anger, not out of sadness.
You now lose your way so easily,
You sink, you burst, you burn inwardly.
You weep from frustrations,
From the guilt of an honest smile,
From pains, that you forget for a moment,
That come swiftly back to haunt you of your loss.
I understand, dear friend.
You once had a light and the woods seek to snuff it out.
Do not fear, dear friend,
Friend follow me, as I once did you.
Friend, now you see?
Yes, you see,
The little wisps in the fog that guide us home."

You came into my life twenty four years ago
Capturing my heart, Oh how I love you so
Your big brown eyes looking into mine
A precious gift from God, Heaven divine
Family and friends gathered in love
To welcome an angel from above
Your dad and I ecstatic to meet our little girl
A blessing forever to change our world
It is amazing how so much pain endured
Births a love so deep, so precious and pure
A love beyond meaning, none to compare
A love to protect at all cost, if harm should ever dare
After hours of anticipation, I heard a cry
The sweetest sound I know, my blessing had arrived
As they laid you in my arms, my heart skipped a beat
A moment in time, a moment to cherish, so bittersweet
The first night alone, just you and me
I held you for hours, rocking you so gently
That night is visited many times in my mind
For the first time I can remember, my life was defined
My call to be a mother created by God's precious hands
A moment in time to be still, a moment to stand
How you have influenced my life, in so may ways
Giving my life meaning, I was changed on that day
The years have flown by, time refused to stand still
Grown into adulthood, your dreams to fulfill.
Now you stand before, no longer my little girl
But an extraordinary woman, a heart so pure
I will always follow you throughout your life
On my knees in prayer, guiding you from strife
Standing on the sidelines, I promise to always be
Your number one fan, until eternity calls for me
When I am gone I pray you will remember
Just as the snow falls in late December
A blanket of white to cover the ground
Innocent and pure, you was my love profound
May God forever bless and guide my little girl
At the wheel of life may He always be at the stern
May your life be filled with great joy and much love
Someday to experience, as I, His blessing from above
When that day comes, life will bring new meaning
The love between mother and child, exceeds all thinking
Mountains you will move, forever to shield and protect
A love God entrusted in you, a love so perfect
Being my first, I made many mistakes
My love for you, I will never forsake
Not a day goes by, time can erase
When I held you in my arms, my heart you embraced
I thank God, unto me you was born
So much you have taught me, so much I have learned
I love you to the moon and back, you will always be
That perfect love, forever to change me

Tonight as my baby girl started to pray
She said God it's 8 O'Clock,
And God We need to talk.
She said daddy help me pray,
And daddy bow your head,
As we knelt beside her bed.
she said God can you hear me?
Mommy always said you'd hear me,
If I would learn to pray,
And that you would show me the way.
Well God I don't understand.
Why you took my mommy away.
Daddy always says i'll understand,
When I grow up some day.
She said God, you need your son.
Well I need my mommy to,
And I know that my daddy,
Would be happier with mommy.
Cause daddy talks to her,
And mommy's not even there.
God can you please,
Give my mommy wings,
So she can come to see us.
She always kept our house clean,
And God I know,
She keeps your house clean to.
And God I miss mommy's big hugs,
Daddy says your son gives hugs to.
So I know if my mommy had wings,
She could hug me and daddy.
Well God I want to thank you,
For being there to listen,
And God think about what I said.
And tell mommy that I love her,
And God I love you to.
Oh just one more thing God,
Help my daddy stop crying.
Thank you God, Amen,
Then she turned to me and said,
Goodnight daddy, I love you.
I was still on my knees,
Beside my little girls bed,
With tears running from my eyes.
I gave my baby a goodnight kiss,
And said sweet dreams baby girl.
Then I went to my room,
And kissed my wife's picture,
And with tears in my eyes,
I knelt down to pray,
I said God, We need to talk.

Baby girl...I need you to know, that daddy will never leave again.
I've loved you since you were an embryo, and I'm hoping we can now be friends.
Baby girl...I want you to feel comfortable with me, and talk to me about things.
Things don't always fall into place so perfectly, but you're the melody playing on my
Baby girl...People are not perfect, even daddies make mistakes;
But my love for you is 100% correct, and being without you has caused so much
Baby girl...I'm so dang proud to be your father, and I want to be a figure you look up to.
Jasmine if I didn't care, this poem I wouldn't bother, and I'll gladly lay down my life for
Baby girl...I'll be behind you through it all, and you can always rely on me.
If you stumble, I'll catch you before you fall, and I'll try to be the best daddy!
Baby girl...Please smile for me and just know that although I secretly wanted a boy;
You're all I could ask for in a family, and you princess, are my pride and joy!!
Dedicated to my oldest daughter, "Jasmine Ann Anderson"

All I can do is wonder.
I'll never really know.
OI'll never get to hug her,
and she'll never see me grow.
When I wake up tommorrow,
this nightmare won't be gone.
I'll never have what I took for granted,
a chance to know my Mom.
I know I shouldn't cry,
because that won't bring her back.
It doesn't make up for the emptiness
or the love that I lack.
I'm almost grown up now.
I did it all by myself.
But I can't help but wish
I could be like everyone else.
I'm excluded from some "special bond"
and memories to be shared.
When all I ever asked for
was to have someone who cared.
The tearstains on my pillow
outnumber memories.
The only way I know her
is to see her in my dreams.
Daddy said she loved me,
but God called her home.
I don't know why he took her,
the only Mom I'd ever known.
I guess he has a hidden plan,
a reason I can't see.
I'm waiting for it to come together
and work out okay for me.
I hope I'll understand some day
just what God has in mind.
So no matter how much I miss my mother
I'll follow God's plan and be alright.

I can see you up ahead of me
I am following
in your footsteps
no matter how fast I walk
I cannot catch up
your footsteps are bigger than mine

then return to your journey
thank you for your footsteps

they will always be here

As a regular walker on west beach, I have been amazed at the work(damage!) being done by the Environment Agency, for what?
The recent storms have reshaped and graded the beach beautifully and there appears to be no need for these absurd and expensive works currently being undertaken.
Mother nature shows yet again she commands supreme.
Let's stop this ridiculous expenditure and divert these funds to help the folk in Somerset and Thames Valley areas, where the Environment Agency needs to apply its budget more effectively.
While writing, why are the works (£14.5m!) going on at the east harbour wall?
To prevent flooding, we are told. Well, having just had the worst storms and tidal surges for half a century and no major flooding in Littlehampton, yet again we must ask 'why'?
The Environment Agency, county and district councils, and its officials, need to have a rapid re-think on all these 'folly' schemes.
Spend money where it is needed, not where it looks good!
Stop wasting taxpayers' money on vanity schemes.

Medical Editor: John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
Omontys (peginesatide) is an erythropoietin indicated for the treatment of anemia due to chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adult patients on dialysis. The brand name Omontys has been discontinued. Side effects of Omontys (peginesatide) include:
- diarrhea
- nausea
- vomiting
- back pain
- cough
- muscle spasms
- headache
- pain in your arms or legs
- joint pain, or
- cold symptoms (stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat)
As an initial treatment, Omontys should be dosed once monthly as 0.04 mg/kg body weight. Omontys is a new erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) that aids in the formation of red blood cells. It works by stimulating the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, usually measured as hemoglobin levels, to reduce the need for transfusions in patients with CKD. Omontys may interact with other drugs. Tell your doctor all medications and supplements you use. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Omontys should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. It is not known whether peginesatide is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted into human milk, caution should be exercised when Omontys is administered to a nursing woman.
Our Omontys Side Effects Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information on the potential side effects when taking this medication.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Contact your doctor if you feel weak, lightheaded, or short of breath, or if your skin looks pale. These may be signs that your body has stopped responding to this medication.
Peginesatide can increase your risk of life-threatening heart or circulation problems, including heart attack or stroke. This risk will increase the longer you use peginesatide. Seek emergency medical help if you have symptoms of heart or circulation problems, such as:
- chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling;
- sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body;
- sudden severe headache, confusion, problems with vision, speech, or balance;
- chest pain, sudden cough, wheezing, rapid breathing, coughing up blood;
- pain, swelling, warmth, or redness in one or both legs;
- numbness, tingling, cold feeling, or pale appearance in your arms or legs;
- feeling short of breath, even with mild exertion;
- swelling, rapid weight gain;
- feeling light-headed, fainting; or
- if your hemodialysis vein access stops working.
Call your doctor at once if you have any other serious side effect such as:
- easy bruising, unusual bleeding (nose, mouth, vagina, or rectum), purple or red pinpoint spots under your skin;
- feeling light-headed, fainting;
- pale skin, feeling short of breath, rapid heart rate, trouble concentrating;
- high potassium (slow heart rate, weak pulse, muscle weakness, tingly feeling);
- fever;
- seizure (convulsions); or
- dangerously high blood pressure (severe headache, blurred vision, buzzing in your ears, anxiety, confusion, chest pain, shortness of breath, uneven heartbeats, seizure).
Less serious side effects may include:
- nausea, vomiting, diarrhea;
- cough;
- headache;
- back pain, muscle spasm, pain in your arms or legs;
- joint pain; or
- cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the entire detailed patient monograph for Omontys (Peginesatide)
The following serious adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling:
- Increased Mortality, Myocardial Infarction, Stroke, and Thromboembolism [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- Hypertension [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- Serious allergic reactions [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of OMONTYS cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of other drugs and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Adverse reactions were determined based on pooled data from two active controlled studies of 1066 dialysis patients treated with OMONTYS and 542 treated with epoetin, including 938 exposed for at least 6 months and 825 exposed for greater than one year to OMONTYS. The population for OMONTYS was 20 to 93 years of age, 58.5% male, and the percentages of Caucasian, Black (including African Americans), and Asian patients were 57.9%, 37.4%, and 3.1%, respectively. The median weight adjusted dose of OMONTYS was 0.07 mg/kg and 113 U/week/kg of epoetin.
Table 3 summarizes the most frequent adverse reactions ( ≥ 10%) in dialysis patients treated with OMONTYS.
Table 3 : Adverse Reactions Occurring in ≥ 10%
of Dialysis Patients treated with OMONTYS
|Adverse Reactions
|Dialysis Patients Treated with OMONTYS
|Dialysis Patients Treated with Epoetin
|Gastrointestinal Disorders
|Respiratory, Thoracic and Mediastinal Disorders
|Injury, Poisoning and Procedural Complications
|Arteriovenous Fistula Site Complication
|Procedural Hypotension
|Nervous System Disorders
|Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders
|Muscle Spasms
|Pain in Extremity
|Back Pain
|Vascular Disorders
|General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions
|Metabolism and Nutrition Disorders
|Infections and Infestations
|Upper Respiratory Tract Infection
Seizures have occurred in patients participating in OMONTYS clinical studies. During the first several months following initiation of OMONTYS, blood pressure and the presence of premonitory neurologic symptoms should be monitored closely.
Advise patients to contact their healthcare practitioner for new-onset seizures, premonitory symptoms, or change in seizure frequency.
Allergic and infusion-related reactions have been reported in patients treated with OMONTYS.
Postmarketing Experience
Because postmarketing reporting of adverse reactions is voluntary and from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Serious allergic reactions have been reported during postmarketing use of OMONTYS [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Of the 2357 patients tested during clinical trials, 29 (1.2%) had detectable levels of peginesatide-specific binding antibodies. There was a higher incidence of peginesatide-specific binding antibodies in patients dosed subcutaneously (1.9%) as compared to those dosed intravenously (0.7%). Peginesatide neutralizing antibodies were detected in vitro using a cell-based functional assay in 21 of these patients (0.9%). In approximately half of all antibody-positive patients, the presence of antibodies was associated with declining hemoglobin levels, the requirement for increased doses of OMONTYS to maintain hemoglobin levels, and/or transfusion for anemia of CKD. No cases of pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) developed in patients receiving OMONTYS during clinical trials.

The impact of trade in services on factor incomes : results from a global simulation Model
Indian gross domestic product per capita increased rapidly between 2001 and 2006 in a climate of increasing services trade, with the export-oriented services sector responsible for rising shares of growth in gross domestic product. Due to its contribution to aggregate economic growth, there is a great need for empirical examination of the distributional consequences of this growth, especially in light of the challenges in obtaining theoretical solutions that can be generalized. This paper fills this gap in the literature by using a global simulation model to examine how sensitive factor incomes across different industries may have been to the historical changes in India's services exports and imports, and provides insight on the distribution of the national income growth attributable to the expansion of the services industry. Rent on capital in the service sector and wages of all workers would have increased as a result of greater services trade in this period, while income from capital specific to agriculture and manufacturing would have declined. The factors involved with the urban-based services sector may thus benefit from the services trade growth, while the total factor income involved in rural agriculture may decline.

About Me

Curriculum Vitae
Expert Witnessing
For my Students
I have been posting increasingly infrequently, which is not a reflection of a diminished sense of solidarity, nor of having too little time; while that is now more the case than ever, it has always been true. Rather, harassment and discrimination have taken their toll, and I have focused all my energies on trying to ensure that my amazing students don't suffer as a result of my own Taylorist depression. I have been on both sides of this coin many times before, and know intellectually it will pass, though that is little help in the moment. I still hope to transform my lull back into something revolutionary—depression being one of the most bourgeois and anti-revolutionary ways in which certain classes of people are taught to embody and thus isolate the violence of capitalism and patriarchy in this society.
One thing has become clear from the hundreds of emails I received from women who were inspired by my most recent Counterpunch article to share with me their own stories. The hostility I have experienced in relation to the inevitable intersection of my productive and reproductive labors is a hostility that is experienced and individualized by huge numbers of (mostly) women in the United States, for whom in many cases it is career destroying. And it must be kept in mind that only women who identified with my own story—as a white woman of certain privilege—emailed me. How much worse is it for women who daily experience the conjugated oppressions of racism, classism and sexism (And why is my spellcheck telling me classism isn't a word)? All this to say, I believe there is a revolution trapped under the surface of the normalized workplace sexism that we call "professionalism," and I very much want to help free it. I also want to go back to posting about everything that is going on in Honduras. There's so much to do. It just feels overwhelming.

Can I Reinstall Windows On My Computer Without the Bloatware?
Dear Lifehacker,
I recently got a new laptop that came with
Bad Bloatware
Dear Bad,
The short answer is yes-the product key that came with your computer will, in most cases, work with a vanilla installation of Windows. But first, we should mention that there is a simpler solution.
Bloatware is always kind of a pain, but before you start running for the nuclear option, you might want to try uninstalling that bloatware yourself from the Add/Remove Programs menu. If you find bloatware that isn't listed in that menu,
Revo Uninstaller
That said, sometimes you still need to do a clean install for one reason or another. In that case, yes, it should be possible on most PCs. Here's the general process (though note that your mileage may vary, every PC may have its own little quirks).
Step One: Find Your License Key
If your computer came with Windows pre-installed, you have a legit Windows license that you'll need to reinstall. First, check the bottom of your laptop or the back of your computer tower. There should be a sticker that has your Windows version and license key listed. Write both of those down before continuing.
If you can't find a sticker, try running a utility like
Magical Jelly Bean KeyFinder
Lastly, many Windows 8 PCs come with the product key embedded in the BIOS. We haven't tried to reinstall Windows on one of these PCs, but a quick search reveals that they should automatically apply your product key when you reinstall with an ISO. Your mileage may vary, of course, and you may want to do a cursory search on your particular model to see if this works before you continue.
Note: if there is any bloatware you want to keep-like a DVD playing program, or something of that nature-now would be a good time to open it up and see if you can find a product key in the "About" menu. Magical Jelly Bean KeyFinder may also be able to find other product keys for you.
Step Tw Grab a Windows Disc
If your laptop came with a recovery disc or partition, don't use it-it probably comes bundled with all the bloatware you're trying to avoid (and
Windows 8's Refresh has the same issue
). You'll need a vanilla installation disc, which is easy to get. You can either borrow one from a friend or
download an ISO file straight from Digital River
, Microsoft's official source for distributing installation discs. From there you can
burn it to a DVD
Note that this isn't piracy-you still need a valid license key to use these ISO files. That means when you get your disc, make sure it's for the same version of Windows as your license key. If your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, you'll need a Windows 7 Home Premium disc, and so on.
If you borrow a disc from a friend that doesn't match-or if you need an ISO for Windows 7 Starter or Basic-download
the Ei.cfg Removal Utility
Step Three: Reinstall Windows
Now that you've got your Windows disc (or USB drive) ready, it's time to install Windows! You're probably familiar with this process, but just in case you aren't: insert your disc or drive and
boot from it
It's all pretty self-explanatory, except the partition screen. You may see a few different partitions on your disk, including one labeled "Recovery." This is the recovery partition that lets you restore Windows as it was when you bought your computer, bloatware and all. I usually delete the recovery partition and install Windows from scratch, but if you want to keep this recovery partition just in case-and have the hard drive space to spare-you can just highlight the "Windows" partition, click the Format button, and install Windows there.
Run through the rest of the installation process according to the wizard and you should be all set. When you're prompted to activate Windows, type in your product key. Make sure you type in the correct key -those stickers are small and poorly printed, so its very easy to get the numbers and letters wrong the first time.
If it doesn't work and you're sure it's the right key, tell it you'll wait to activate until later. You may have to click "Activate Over the Phone" and use Microsoft's automated system, which only takes a few minutes.
Step Four: Install Your Drivers
Once Windows is ready to go, your last task is to install the necessary drivers for your computer. Head to your computer manufacturer's web site (e.g. Dell, Asus, or HP) and go to their Support section. You should be able to find your model of laptop or desktop, and find a list of available drivers.
You'll almost certainly need drivers for the chipset, LAN, Wi-Fi, graphics, and audio. If you have a laptop, you may also need touchpad drivers for specific features, Bluetooth drivers, USB 3.0, or anything else that your computer may require. This varies from model to model, so be sure to check through the entire list and download whatever you think you might need.
Once you've installed all your drivers, you may also want to head to Windows Update and download the necessary updates. You may have to restart and check for updates again a number of times to get them all.
After that, you're all set to start using your computer! Check out

It has been over three years since I had cable television, and frankly, I've never been happier. Joining in with the current five million Americans who no longer watch traditional television, I've realized that all the shows I love can be found online. While living this lifestyle—and saving some cash—I discovered amazing shows on YouTube and constantly began subscribing to channels.
This intrigued me as several actors I knew were creating their own web series. Though many of them did it as a creative way to show off their acting range, many believed in their character and storyline and hoped it increased in popularity.
Here are some of the best ways to generate buzz for your web series.
1. Trend Watching. Because of the quick turnaround for YouTube video uploads, you're going to be able to benefit from trending topics and keywords. Whether your show is a political drama or a slapstick comedy, you can find a current topic and spin it to fit your show's model. Keep in mind that you're going to want material that is sharable, short, and typically safe for the work environment.
2. Music Licensing. If your video contains music, it's easy to choose from the factory produced songs on the radio, but it's not the best idea. Aside from possible copyright infringement, it works in your favor to contact an independent YouTube singer and have them allow you to use their track for your show. The reason being that it's a win-win situation. You'll win through the artist promoting your video, and they'll win by gaining a new audience for their music. Look at the artist's YouTube views, subscribers, social media, and general responses from their fans before using their music. You want to capitalize on as much publicity as you can get.
3. Contests. Depending on its execution, an online contest can generate a number of views. Whether your contest includes a free iPad, concert tickets, or even a cameo on your show, it energizes your audience.
4. SEO-friendly Synopsis. Want people to find your show? Better make sure search engines pick it up. ("SEO" stands for search-engine optimized.) A good video description is vital in conquering those search results. Use strong tags and verbiage. Think about all the sentences someone can search for that would bring up your video.
5. Collaborate. Find other actors on YouTube that have similar shows and use annotations to drive traffic to each other's YouTube channels. Annotations are those little boxes that appear during videos, usually links to subscribe to their channel or check out the newest video.
