Runes are an ancient method of divination that still remain popular and useful today. Many people find them intriguing, because of their unique history and specific means of divination. Unlike fortune telling, runes are used to delve into a person's subconscious, and explore their true desires. They can be a wonderful aid in meditational practice, gaining self-awareness, or just getting some more perspective on various situations in your life.
To people unfamiliar with divination tools, it may seem like some kind of spooky magic trick, witchcraft or even something demonic. None of those descriptions are accurate, and actually, runes encourage a person to explore their own mind and gain self-introspection.
Initially part of an ancient Germanic alphabet, Runes have existed for hundreds of years. Versions of runes have been found in many different cultures all across the world, with stones created in a multitude of alphabets and designs.
Simply put, runes are an old relic that has survived the test of time and are still proven useful today. The stones are a simple oracle which one can use to stimulate the thinking process. When the stones are cast, they aren't always entirely specific, meaning it is up to you to consider what they are telling you and how it relates to what you were asking. This often opens that pathway for critical thinking, solving problems and reducing stress.

If there's anyone we'll miss in the White House more than Barack Obama and his family, it's Luther—the man with the hardest job in Washington: Translating the infamously unflappable president's stoicism into hurricane-force righteous anger.
Fortunately, comedians Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele have blessed us with Luther's presence one last time, resurrecting their Key & Peele mainstay for a final appearance during last night's episode of The Daily Show, where he screamed, hopped, and raged against the impending Trump presidency.
Luther, you didn't just speak for the President. You spoke for all of us. We'll miss you.
You can watch Luther's full appearance, as well as Key's sit-down with Daily Show host Trevor Noah, here.

India's Turtles Are Dying, But We Can Help Save Them
It's World Turtle Day on 23 May, and this perhaps is an apt occasion to reflect on the violence, intended and unintended, that is being done to these gentle creatures. Turtles have existed since the beginning of the age of dinosaurs; sadly, they are now in grave danger. We cannot afford to ignore the continuing disappearance of these fascinating reptiles.

The University of California Board of Regents, in a daylong retreat on Sept. 12, looked at dozens of proposals for addressing the University's growing budget deficit, from academic strategies to changes in employee health and welfare benefits.
The retreat, called by board chair Sherry Lansing, was intended to give regents a deeper understanding of the hard choices they may be called on to make in November after voters decide the fate of Proposition 30.
The initiative, endorsed by the Regents, would raise new state revenue through temporary increases in the state sales tax and the personal income tax on those who earn $250,000 or more per year. It is sponsored by Gov. Jerry Brown and is part of the 2012-2013 budget approved by state lawmakers.
If it fails, UC's state revenue will fall by $375 million, a cut that comes on top of years of declining state revenue.
In the last four years, UC's state appropriation has fallen by $900 million — the equivalent of 27 percent — even as mandatory costs and student enrollment have grown. Costs for health benefits and other required items are projected to continue to rise; absent an infusion in new revenue, UC's budget deficit could reach $2.9 billion in five years.
Gathering Ideas
Among the proposals on the table were ideas from administrators, faculty and student leaders from all 10 campuses.
UC President Mark G. Yudof opened the meeting by urging board members to focus on decisions that would preserve UC's excellence in teaching, research and public service.
"For too long decisions about UC's quality have been passive — and the outcome has been a quiet but steady erosion of our academic quality at almost every level," Yudof said.
"At every meeting, people stand up in outrage over tuition, pensions and other similar concerns," he said. "But there is no outrage over the threats to UC's academic quality. And when these meetings are over, our chancellors, administrators, employees and faculty must return to their campuses, and do what needs to be done to absorb allocated reductions. They are simply left to contend with the budget realities on the ground."
Lansing told the audience that the retreat was intended to be exploratory in nature. Some of the ideas were controversial, she said, and might never be acted upon.
"No ideas are off the table. That includes enrollment, tuition and financial aid," Lansing said. "You will likely hear different points of view on how best to address our fiscal uncertainties. While we may have different approaches, I know that we all share the same desire to do what is best for UC, its students and the people of California."
The marathon session included ideas as diverse as raising parking fees to complex proposals to allow differential tuition, based on campus or major.
One area where UC is already working hard to contain costs is employee health benefits. Ideas being analyzed include moving to a self-insurance model, which could lower overall costs without a reduction in benefits, said Nathan Brostrom, executive vice president for business operations.
Support for Efficiencies
One of the few suggestions that seemed to garner virtually unanimous support was the plan — already underway as part of "Working Smarter", UC's administrative efficiencies effort — to implement shared, systemwide purchasing agreements.
UC already is racking up savings big and small by leveraging the purchasing power of all 10 campuses, said UC Chief Financial Officer Peter Taylor. Insurance construction costs have fallen by $17 million, for example. There is much more that UC can do, he said, but departments at some locations have been resistant to the change.
UC potentially could save $100 million or more a year by leveraging campus purchasing power, according to estimates.
Several Regents wondered aloud whether they should pass a policy mandating compliance.
"If we as Regents don't put the policy in place, I don't think we're going to get that," said Regent William De La Peña.
Debate Over Non-Resident Admissions
There was much less agreement over the suggestion that UC raise the cap on out-of-state and international undergraduate students. It currently is set at 10 percent, although enrollment actually is below that level, at 8 percent.
One idea is to raise the cap to 15 percent to 20 percent, which still would be well below the average at most of the nation's other elite research universities. At the University of Michigan, for example, non-resident undergrads comprise 35 percent.
Brostrom told the board that for every 1,000 non-resident students admitted to UC, the University garners about $23 million that can go into the academic mission.
"That tuition revenue helps maintain quality, access and affordability," Brostrom said.
Regent Eddie Island said he was vehemently opposed to any increase in non-resident students, regardless.
"We are taking a California resource and selling it to the highest bidder," Island said.
Student Regent Jonathan Stein said he also would urge caution.
"Out-of-state students are considerably less diverse" than UC's in-state students, Stein said. "If we go down this path, we will become less diverse."
Other Regents thought the proposal sounded like a relatively benign way to boost the bottom line and preserve access for Californians.
Regent Norm Pattiz noted that UC has continued to grow enrollment of California students, even as state support has declined.
"The University of California is the finest public university in the world. It's already an international university. And we're doing an exemplary job of keeping California students," Pattiz said. "If we need to broaden our scope to keep the university viable, then we need to do it."

How to Recognize the Signs of Addiction
The first step in knowing if you or a loved one may be suffering from a drug or alcohol problem, is understanding the signs of addiction. If you have questions and want to speak with someone who has been there, call the counselors at the substance addiction helpline. Since they have been through the perils of addiction and the process of treatment, they can walk you through, step by step on what to expect.
Recreational drug or alcohol use may never result in harmful or negative consequences. But for many, lives and families are ripped apart due to addiction. Since everyone is different, and many addictions have unique reasons for falling into the patterns of drug or alcohol abuse, their course of treatment needs to be specific to them as well. Locating the right detox and rehab facility is certainly something you can get assistance with when you contact the substance addiction helpline.
Why Does One Person Become Addicted and Another May Not?
There are several different factors that could contribute to a person becoming addicted to drugs or alcohol. Some of the risk factors for addiction include:
• Family History
• Early abuse of drugs or alcohol
• An underlying mental disorder, depression or anxiety
• Childhood traumas of abuse or neglect
When one or more of these factors are in play, it is even more important that the addict not only gets help and is put into a detox program, but that they also get a full course of treatment. Treating not only the physical addiction, but the reasons behind will be crucial to staying sober for the rest of their lives.
When Is Intervention Necessary?
If you have a loved one that is exhibiting the signs of addiction, call the specialists at the substance addiction helpline and they can give you the information on how best to handle your particular situation. Whether you need the guidance of a certified interventionist, or just a sympathetic ear, they will be able to help.
There is no need to wait. Pick up the phone today and call the substance addiction helpline at 1-855-522-9994 to get yourself into treatment, have your questions answered, or just want to know how the mind of an addict may work.

I think this makes at least three in one week now.
Is anyone from LinkShare looking at this to see if there are others?
November 14th, 2005, 10:19 AM #3
Yes, we're working on it with the merchants. For both Mercantila and Fujitsu it appears we're passing everything correctly so we're working with the merchant to look at the redirect on their side. Target is a completely separate issue - out of stock products in the feed - which they are working to resolve.

Eastern Pequots elect new chairman
North Stonington - Eastern Pequot tribal members Saturday elected Dennis Jenkins chairman of the tribal council.
Jenkins, 62, had been serving as acting chairman since Brian Geer resigned in June over the alleged misuse of more than $60,000 in tribal funds. State police subsequently charged Geer with first-degree larceny.
Jenkins said he garnered half of the more than 120 votes cast in balloting at the tribe's "longhouse" offices. He outpolled two other candidates, Katherine Sebastian Dring and Lynn Powers, he said.
Sheri Jones, unopposed for corresponding secretary, also was elected.
While asserting that federal recognition remains the tribe's top priority, Jenkins, a retired state trooper, said he plans to immediately pursue changes in the tribe's election laws.
"My first order of business is looking at our election ordinances and constitution as far as determining who's eligible to run for offices," he said. "I promised the membership that that would be done."
The treasurer's office remains vacant after tribal members nominated for it were deemed ineligible, Jenkins said.
He said he would control access to "the little bit of money we have left" until a treasurer is elected.
Jenkins said he also would seek to reduce the size of the council, which has 14 seats, one of which is unfilled. He said he prefers a return to a nine- or seven-member council.
The tribe officially refers to itself as the Historic Eastern Pequots, the name the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs used in a 2002 decision in which it approved the combined federal-recognition applications of the Eastern Pequots and the Paucatuck Eastern Pequots. The BIA ruled that the tribes, which shared a reservation on Lantern Hill, were actually factions of a single "historical" tribe.
In 2005, the Interior Board of Indian Affairs vacated the BIA's ruling, and the Department of the Interior later rescinded the tribe's recognition.
Now, Jenkins noted, the BIA is considering changing the standards for recognition. Tribes recognized by the federal government are eligible to apply for certain grants and can request that land be taken into trust for economic development, including casinos.
"Our goal is to get our recognition back. That's our No. 1 priority," Jenkins said. "We need it for our tribal members, for their health, housing, education."
He said he does not believe the tribe should pursue a casino if it gains recognition.
"My personal opinion is that we don't need another casino (in the region)," Jenkins said. "I don't think the climate is right for it now in Connecticut, especially with Massachusetts coming on line. There are so many other economic development opportunities out there."
Jenkins, who serves as second vice president of the Norwich branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, described himself as "a straight shooter." He said he sought to stabilize the tribe in the wake of his predecessor's alleged embezzlement.
Jenkins said he reported Geer's apparent misuse of funds to state police after Geer's sister, Brenda Geer, brought it to his attention. Jenkins was tribal vice chairman at the time.
"I have to give her credit," he said. "For her to give a statement against her own brother took a lot of courage."
Brenda Geer is now vice chairwoman.

4 Tricks for Healthy, Delicious Banana Bread (Page 4)
3. Add Healthy Fruit and Nuts
In addition to upping the amount of bananas in my bread (see my first tip), I also like to mix in different kinds of fruit and nuts, which add texture, flavor and health benefits. When it comes to fruit, I love the taste of tart, plump blueberries. I will add as much as 1 1/2 cups of blueberries to my banana bread, folding them in after combining the wet and dry ingredients. As for nuts, 1/2 cup of toasted, roughly chopped walnuts folded into the batter before baking adds nutty flavor and something to crunch on, along with good omega-3 fats, which can help lower "bad" LDL cholesterol. A similar amount of chopped almonds delivers healthy monounsaturated fats.

Bloemfontein - Nine people including three children, were
killed when a school bus collided with a truck on the N3 outside Harrismith in
the Free State on Monday, police said.
Captain Harry Nagel said six adults and three children were
killed and 48 others were injured - 10 of them critically.
He said the bus from Spruitview in Gauteng was travelling
to Durban in KwaZulu-Natal when it collided with a truck and a bakkie at about 00:45.
The bus was transporting teachers and school children.
Both drivers of the truck and bakkie were among the
The injured have been taken to the hospital in Harrismith
and Qwaqwa.
Not another bloodshed, Lord have mercy on us!!!!!
It has become a daily occurrence on our roads, when is the road carnage is going to stop or be reduced. Has to be driving negligence. We are having to many deaths by road accidents recently.
I don't want to point any fingers here, but this situation will persist as long as drivers (taxi drivers, bus etc. – for public transport) do not have advanced driving lessons. I know most of our citizens are compelled to use public transport, for the lack of any alternative, so I would really suggest government, instead of decreasing max speed limits would rather increase the skill of these drivers, yet again don't wanna blame anybody, but how many fatal accidents involved public transport these past two months? Why is that?
It's sad sending your kids to school, just for them never to return! So why is this not seen in a serious light?
It has always been on our roads! it's just more reported now!
Does maximum speed/Drinking have anything to do with this?
It is a good time for the minister to start gathering facts.
If you look at the timing of the accident, someone probably fell asleep at the wheel.
How do you collide on the N3? It's a freeway
not the section between Harrismith and Van Reenen. the main freeway only starts at the bottom of Van Reenens pass after the Tugela toll road.
The lanes are wide enough along the N3, whether its a free way or not. One of the drivers surely fell asleep, judging by the fact that the accident took place at 00:45. I hope the driver responsible is thrown in a dark cold cell for the rest of his life.
There are some hills with bends on the Jhb side of H'smith, and Van Reenen is a bit further south. Brake problems or fatigue (00h45) could have led to this. JV is right. Driver training is important, and also mandatory and ENFORCABLE roadworthy laws for PSVs.
and do not forget about that 'intersection " at Shell ultra city at the top of the hill - Jhb side of Harry's. A lot of accidents happen there due to the entrance / exit.
Can't this people drive?
When is enough, enough? I presume the bus was travelling at 100km/h, and the truck at 80km/h. Come, minister, please explain how your planned campaign to reduce speed limits will work. If you dare to or have the guts to do so of course. Rather review the licenced? (in)competence of the drivers on the roads today, especially trucks and bus drivers. As for News24, please explain how a bakkie was also involved.
A sad indictment on all of us and our political leaders, who always talk, but never do anything. Ndebele should resign.
This is where the government must start. The public transport is in shambles, and the taxi owners is only out to make money. They are not regulated, so they do as they please.
This cannot surely carry on like this...what is happening...! very sad!
"Both drivers of the truck and bakkie were among the injured." Huh! Where did the bakkie fit in!
Drivers these days leaves a lot to be desired - impatient - arrogant - down right rude and bloody stupid!
Condolences and RIP.
It's not the matter of advanced training, it seems like we are being tested for reasons we can not understand, we should stop blaming others instead we should drive cautiously, most of the drivers out there are negligent in their driving, they lack to understand that roads are for everyone, we must be tolerant of each other, if you persist driving on when you realise another car is overtaking you, why persist, rather let it pass, that does not take more time compared to the life you would have lost if you just persisted, taxis, buses aren't the only one's who make accidents, mostly are from small vehicles, hmmmmmm......
Government wants to reduce speed limit and they have their officials sitting behind cameras all day trying to meet their targets. Noteworthy is that we suddenly have these horrific accidents every other day now killing so many people at a time and almost without fail every such accident involves a taxi or a bus. Surely it takes little to understand that the problem lies with the conditions of these vehicles and the qualifications and attitude of drivers entrusted to provide a service to the public. Everybody knows how the Taxis drive but nothing is done about it as they are far to powerful an organisation that now even owns an airline. Fix these problems and you fix the killing on the roads.
Here we go again. A bus and a taxi causing this carnage !
Joy agreet this is so so sad. Well who knows maybe these people bought their licences but even if that did not happen , South Africans are far too hasty, impatient and have no regard to the next person. Bottom line is THEY DO NOT OBEY TRAFFIC LIGHTS, NOR REDUCE SPEED IN WET WEATHER, NOR DO THEY HEED TO THE WARNINGS ABOUT SHARP BENDS AHEAD ETC.
It is past now for Government to step in and take harse decisions
What is a bus transporting teachers and school children doing on the road 00:45????????Beter trip planning may stop silly accidents like this!
Honestly... I am so tired of reading about school buses and school children. Do warning bells NOT sound when drivers get into their cars and embark on any journey? Do they take for granted that they can drive? Why are fewer and fewer people practicing caution? People are dying. Children are dying! Let me see ONE of you texting whilst driving... I'll be the woman with her upper body outside of the window, screaming very at you! We know better. Surely we can do better, people?
Oh, Again!
Roflol.....Dont talk crap you fool......
While drivers have some control over driving recklessly, while impaired and while distracted there is little they can do about the state of the road.
Nobody has to exceed the speed limit, you have a choice not to drive while drunk or tired and it is possible to refrain from eating or using your mobile phone while behind the wheel. But, slipping on black ice or a fuel spillage, losing control and causing a car accident are, more often than not, beyond the driver's control.
Tragic. Far too many of these accidents are happening countrywide lately. I live in Maritzburg & we had that taxi accident on Friday when 14 people were killed & sad to say, but an accident like that was inevitable in this city. Today, a few days after the accident, I was in the traffic with my husband, and we were cut off a couple of times by the same taxi driver, not using his indicator, driving recklessly (in an empty taxi) - and when we get cross with him, he thinks he done NOTHING wrong. They won't learn, even after a fellow driver in their city kills 14 passengers. They have no concience. Something drastic needs to be done about them. Most taxi drivers on SA roads have a sub mentality - I have now finally realised that. Is it even possible for them to be educated/trained re safe/legal driving habits?? I'm too cynical now to believe that. I honestly have my doubts. According to Carte Blanche there are about THIRTY fatal car accidents on our roads EVERY DAY and what our powers that be doing about it????? Bloody fiddling & sitting on their gravy train fat asses while Rome burns - they have blood on their hands.
what i dont understand is why were school children transported at night? this shudnt hav happened... the organisers of the trip shud take some responsibility in this...
no one is safe on these roads - they should think about constructing seperate highways for larger vehicles

Question: All the specialists in the world, all wrong Diagnosis

Forum Members,
I am at a loss. My wife, we will use no names, or other info so you can help here. Statistics:
30 years old, polish decent, family history of mental illness (depression, alcoholism, paranoid with delusions schizophrenia)
Narcolepsy (2 years diagnosis)
Off meds for 3 months due to Overdose(Xyrem) and hospitalization (respiratory failure/cardiac failure) to due overdose.
No stimulants
Head trauma when 9 years old (hematoma) from car accident
recent MRI minor discrepancies (neurologist claims "ok" results)
Over the past year these symptoms have been progressively getting worse. These are symptoms when she is awake during the day
(1) Anxious, Paranoia,despair, can not focus, no appetite, chronic pain in upper body (no arthritis)
(2) thinks she is with people when she is alone
(3) facial expressions indicate there indicate extreme mood swings (crying to laughing) the crying goes from audible to laughing softly then back to crying. Then it stops as quick as it started
(4) no recollection of things she does during a (emotional attack)
(5) When going to sleep, traumatic experiences are re-lived. This is before she is into REM sleep.
(6) she feels people follow her all the time
(7) fixated on how everyone is a liar, and no good
(8) very bad and delayed startle reflex
(9) former drug use 10 years clean (cocaine)
(10) repetitive actions (taking showers, washing hands, unrolling toilet paper roll) no remembrance of previous action within minutes of doing it
(11) Acidic breathe when in emotional state
(12) extremely thirsty all the time, and when drinking is done in large quantities and rapidily
(13) Left eye will fixate while the right is dilated (during emotional attack)
(14) drinks at least 4 drinks a night (rum) when she has had a "bad" day, which is getting way to often
These are some of the things she does on a daily basis, I have videos of the events that we have shown to Doctors, Therapists, and Trauma Specialists that are in great detail.
When she overdosed and was able to go home, the doctors sent her for a eval. (3 day) When she was there she exhibited, according to the doctors, a "inability to cope". I have also found this to be true.
We have been to everyone in the New England area, including Boston. Everyone has a different opinion of the situation. It is hard to get a good feel on the seriousness of her "condition", she hides it well in public. But it has been getting worse even out. The videos offer great in-site but the doctors refer back to the Narcolepsy that is causing it. It seems to be easier to blame it on something else than digging into the symptoms.
She has been sleeping, ok, for the sleep she does get. She is on average getting 8 hours but according to the latest sleep lab she is getting 3 hours of REM, without drugs.
To Me, I feel she exhibits many signs of schizophrenia. I have looked at the "symptoms" many times and the all seem to fit with her. With the data I have provided, can a "assesment" be made, so at the next appointment we have I can "offer" a suggestion.
Things are getting worse, and when I had to preform CPR on her before the bus showed up, well that hits home. I cant stand seeing here like she is, and I need help to help her. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hello sealpup80,
How frustrated you must be when you get no answers despite the severity of symptoms your wife is having. I can understand that the doctors think there may be an organic issue following head trauma in childhood, but that is only a relatively small part of what appears to be happening. I suggest that in addition to the videos you are using, start documenting daily what her status is throughout the day. There may be a pattern. Next, it's important that you find a psychiatrist who will work with you until some resolution is found. Do not hesitate to ask questions before proceeding with appointments and treatment; a superior psychiatrist would be willing to work with you throughout the diagnostic period, as well as afterward. Even if your wife has been tested in the past, a full battery of testing performed by a licensed psychologist is warranted. The complexity of her symptoms may or may not be due to a single diagnosis; it's more likely that she has a psychiatric condition superimposed on a personality syndrome, with paranoid and/or other features. Schizophrenia is certainly a possibility, but is not clearly the likely diagnosis. Obviously, her overall condition is not helped by her self-medicating with alcohol, but I believe that is caused by her level of distress. The psychiatrist may even hospitalize her on a psychiatric unit for an evaluation and treatment period. I understand that this advice may also be frustrating, since you have tried so many things already; however, the key is in finding the psychiatrist who is interested in helping your wife stabilize and maintain stabiliation. Review the psychiatrists in your area and start calling with those questions.
Good luck to you and to your wife.

Blathnaid Ni Chofaigh: 'I was so physically incapacitated my husband had to bathe me'
RTE star Blathnaid Ni Chofaigh has opened up about grieving when her father died in 2009.
The presenter's father, who had diabetes, passed away following a stroke in 2009 while Blathnaid was in the house.
The flame-haired host revealed she was so heartbroken following her father's death that her husband Ciaran had to care for her.
"I was angry at him for letting himself die because that's how I saw it," she said.
"But that was terrible and just me being selfish."
The 45-year-old said that her husband Ciaran kept her going following her dad's death, as well as when she underwent several operations last year and had half her colon removed.
"I'm so in awe of his calmness, especially when awful things have happened to us over the years," she said.
"Things like when I was sick and pretending to be well and when my dad died. I was so physically incapacitated that Ciaran had to bathe me.
"Ciaran would wash me and feed me and check in during the day and look after the kids," she told the RTE Guide.

The Circus Collages of C.T. McClusky
Chicago, IL 60622
Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art is proud to present The Circus Collages of C.T. McClusky from January 11 - May 25. The opening reception will take place on Friday, January 11 from 5-8pm and is free and open to the public.
We know very little of C.T. McClusky's biography except that he worked as a circus clown and spent the winter seasons of 1940-1960 at a boarding house in Oakland, California. Working with found materials, McClusky completed 53 collages on shirt cardboard incorporating foil, string, photographic illustrations and cuttings from animal cracker boxes. His evocative images are sentimental reflections on his time in the circus and depicts daily circus life creating windows onto a world peopled by bally broads, musicians, trapeze artists, and lion tamers.
The work was discovered in a tattered black suitcase by John Turner -- then curator at the Museum of Craft and Folk art in San Francisco -- at the Alameda Penny Market Swap Meet in California 1975. The Circus Collages of C.T. McClusky, featuring 24 collages and the suitcase they were found in, will be the first solo exhibition of McClusky's work in Chicago.

Child Custody Victory
To Whom it May Concern: I have been represented in Spousal, Child Support and Custody issues by Jeffrey Hoffer for the past year. Having dealt with many family law attorneys over the past 25 years in my accounting practice, I would, without qualification, recommend him. His ability to clearly and succinctly state a client's position in court filings is a major advantage in an overburdened court system where judges often review case paperwork as litigants approach the bench. In my case, he assisted me in re-gaining previously agreed upon custody of my 4 year old son that was being withheld by my ex-wife, as well as setting fair support. The results at all times exceeded my expectations and his expertise has prompted my ex-wife to agree to virtually all of my requests in settling permanent custody matters. I would be happy to speak to anyone interested in Mr. Hoffer's services and would reiterate my strong recommendation. E.P.M. – Malibu, California.

Microhemodynamics Laboratory
Arteriolar Flow in Microcirculation
RBC Partitioning at Bifurcation Simulation
Microhemodynamics Laboratory
"Hemodynamics" is defined as "the physical aspect of the cardiovascular system" or "cardiovascular biophysics" by McDonald in 1968. In recent decades, hemodynamics has become a multidisciplinary study, which includes blood rheology, cell mechanics and physiology, on the suspension of blood.
The observation of motion and interaction of multiple red blood cells, forming aggregates and developing a cell-free layer, is an important part of understanding the hemodynamic responses to either physiological or pathological conditions. Particularly, the peripheral region of circulatory system, which consists of arterioles, venules and capillaries, can be characterized by its microsize of diameter and microfluidic environment.
The microvasculature provides large area that allows exchanging materials and vital substances with tissue. Accordingly, even small change in blood properties or flow condition becomes important considerations that are directly related to functional responses of the microcirculatory system.

Alfred Rawley
My father, the late Jim Rawley, moved to Laindon with his parents Margaret and Alfred Rawley, together with his four sisters in 1919. His father, Alfred, was a Solicitor's Clerk to his brother-in-law Walter Coleman; he later started a small estate agent's business situated at the top end of Laindon High Road and to my own recollection he a had a very small office in the late 60s at the approach opposite the Railway Station, you had to cross the ditch over some wooden boards to get to it.
The family eventually moved to "Nickleby", St Nicholas Lane - a wooden bungalow they had built but very small inside. It was eventually pulled down due to the Basildon Development Corporation's compulsory purchase. They lived - (that is my grandparents) for a while in "The Grove", Langdon Hills, which my father owned.

In his younger days he played football for the Laindon Hotel ? Chris Collins and Sid Clifford also being players.
He served for a while in the Royal Artillery as a Signaller during the War.
He trained to be a carpenter with and by a Mr Patrick. There was another local builder that he knew who was a Mr Cass who apparently built a lot of the bungalows on St Nicholas Lane the same person who built my grandparent's bungalow.
Workers in Pound Lane Workshop
Dad eventually became a builder, married and had four children and lived in Pound Lane, Laindon in a bungalow built by him, until 1969, when the family moved to Bicknacre in a house that was the last one he built. He was killed in an accident in 1973.
When my father was building and living in Laindon, he built quite a few houses in the surrounding areas as well as Laindon and Langdon Hills. Stock, Horndon on the Hill, Galleywood, Stanford-le-Hope and Ramsden Heath. My sister, Cora Shorter, still lives in one of the properties he built.
In 1961 my brother Colin came out of the RAF and together with my father they started the Plant Hire Company which this year is celebrating its 50th year of business. They used the builder's yard for a while until a purpose built office block and yard was built at Durham Road in 1968.
In 2003 they moved to Harvey Road, Basildon now running a completely different plant hire company from it's beginning, now specialising in site accommodation and toilets only. No scaffolding or mechanical plant. Colin runs this with his son Howard so the Rawley name in business is still about.
Article by Tom King (Echo - Business Essex June 7, 2011)
Stepping up - Colin, left, and Howard Rawley
ECHO Tuesday June 7 2011
ROAD crews working on the M25 road-widening scheme between Thurrock and Brentwood can bask in the comforts of home. That is thanks to a Basildon company that celebrates its 50th anniversary this month.
Rawley Plant, of Burnt Mills, manufactures, hires and sells products at the Ideal Home end of the site unit market. The whiff of easy living has gone down well with construction and civil engineering companies such as John Laing, Balfour Beatty, Skanska and Birse, all of whom have hired Rawley Plant's products. Rawley units are also being used on the Olympic Games site.
The Rawley story began in 1951 with the company's first contract. It was for the hire of a single ladder and scaffold board to a home decorator in Laindon. The transaction was worth just 30 shillings (£1.50). Today, Rawley has an annual turnover measured in millions. The man who made that first sale, Colin Rawley, still runs the company as chairman. Now, though, he is supported by four generations of the family. "I remember that first sale very well," says Mr Rawley, "because it was the start of a memorable working journey. It was 1961 and my father Jim, who was a house builder, had seen the potential."
Rawley Plant's products grew through tool hire to contractors' large plant, scaffolding, site accommodation and toilet rental. Then came a change in company strategy. Leaving an overcrowded plant hire sector in 2003, the company opted to specialise in site accommodation and toilet hire. Mr Rawley says: "This sector has grown with the help of two trends - enhanced health and safety regulations in construction and the British love of outdoor events."
Hi Janet, I was astonished and delighted to find your article about Alfred Rawley and his descendants on the website while trying to track down some family history. My grandfather was Robert Rawley who was the third child in that generation of Rawleys (Walter, Kate, Robert, Jack and Alfred). I have an old photo of the family from the early 1900s and would like to be able to identify everybody in the photo, which includes Walter Coleman plus his and Kate's first two children. I would like to share the photo with you if you could contact me by e-mail. I now live in Vancouver, Canada. Thank you!
Pauline Collyer (nee Rawley)
Editor: Pauline, unfortunately we do not have Janet's email address to pass on to you. Hopefully she will make contact upon reading your comment.
Hi Janet I remember your sister Cora. We went to the youth centre at Laindon High Road School. We walked along A127 to Pound Lane many times. She was a lovely girl but did not like her name Cora, so I knew her as Ann. Memories from the 50s.
Best Wishes Len Miller.
In the 3rd photo down, 'workers in Pound Lane workshop' my sister Janet is mistaken. The man on the left is Bill Lance, a plumber and heating engineer who lived in Langdon Hills and carried all plumbing, heating and gutter work for my father's house-building business.
Editor: Thanks Colin I have rectified it, if you find other omissions, errors or you wish to add more please let me know.
Hi Janet; My parents rented number 1 Denbigh Road from Mr Rawley. I was born there in February 1943 and moved out about 11 years or so later. In the 1950s it was sometimes my job to go and pay the rent - I did this errand as quickly as possible because I was scared stiff! I was very young and the walk over those boards to the office seemed way up in the sky (a ditch?). Also Mr Alfred Rawley frightened the wits out of me but I had no valid reason for that. I can still walk through that house and gardens in my mind. I loved the old steam trains thundering by, hearing the toots and waves from the engine drivers. I believe Rawley Plant is built near or on my old house site. Its good to read your history, thanks.

Know Where To Search for GIS Jobs
The key to finding GIS jobs is knowing where to search.
But us, multi-talented, tech-saavy GIS practitioners can go beyond other graduates because of our skill-sets
Don't believe me?
We'll show you how to get GIS jobs in some 'outside the box' searches.
Aggregate GIS Jobs On Your Mobile Phone
GIS jobs should be rolling in like clockwork on your mobile when you use job aggregators like Indeed.com and SimplyHired.com. Depending on your location, new GIS jobs should be popping up one after the other.
Government job sites like USAJobs have massive listing of federal jobs. While Monster.com helps you with cover letter writing and other job search basics.
Or if you just want to get some volunteer experience, there's Idealist.org and GISCorps.
And here are some of the GIS jobs that aggregators don't catch. This means less will know about these jobs, and better chances for your career gateway.
- GIS Jobs Esri
- GIS Jobs Clearinghouse
- GIS Jobs US
- American Association of Geography Career Information
What is Your GIS Job Search Term?
You could simply type in 'GIS' and pray that something sticks. But if you've just graduated with a GIS degree or diploma, your school prepared you for everything.
GIS is diverse. It's not a one-trick pony like some of the other fields. Take this to your advantage.
Here are some of the less-searched skills that GIS practitioners often forget. If necessary, boost your education slightly and go from novice to expert.
Aggregate these additional terms and you instantly have a leg-up on the competition:
Think Outside the Box
Don't get discouraged if you're out of luck on GIS jobs. Because GIS is such a new and emerging field, some companies don't know where or how to use it.
Here are some of the outside-the-box GIS jobs where GIS has room to grow:
Field Work: Heavy construction, forestry, environment, archaeology and mining are industries begging for GIS. Setting up GPS, invasive species/endangered species surveys, site excavation, connecting production data with the operation and site analysis – you get a mix of desk work and site visits.
Surveying: Not really too outside-the-box. Surveyors go to construction to update legal boundary lines. No two days are the same for surveyors. Precise locations are taken for site exploration, land subdivision and civil engineering projects.
High Level Research: As part of a masters or PHD program, get funded for high level research. Write a research grant for a GIS-related hypothesis. Your university could point you in the right direction. Test your hypothesis and publish a paper.
Drone Pilot: When Amazon conceptualized their mail-delivery drone, the GIS industry eyes lit up. Drones gather valuable Earth information in fields such as agriculture, search & rescue and the environment. Even realtors use drones to advertise open houses.
Military Operations: The military is one of the biggest users of remote sensing and location intelligence. Ever since the Corona spy satellite, there's been a growing demand for reconnaissance in our globalized world. But overseas deployment may not be in the cards for your life chapter.
Now, It's Your Turn
If you've graduated and you're left in the dark without an opportunity, it's time to start thinking a bit outside the box.
It's not over yet to think GIS is a bad career choice.
Not even close.
Think a bit outside the box, and you will be rewarded.

Discussion in 'Staff Announcements' started by Jeffin, Aug 30, 2013.
If you are experiencing websites downtimes or outages, please reply here. Thanks.
I have experienced a few over the last couple of days or so. I did not think to take note of the times though.
What I have experienced is the site seems to just go to sleep...become unresponsive. Is that what you mean? I thought it might have been FireFox at first, but Hey it isn't Windoze type S/W. I tried switching to Opera and found the same problem, I also interspersed my browsing with other American based sites and also some Ozzie sites and found that they were responding well, so intermediate node/relay issues seem not to be a factor. On one occasion I left the site then came back on line and all seemed OK...that could have been coincidental or it might have been in some way...I don't know, maybe a cookie issue.
Hi @calvin, that is what I meant. The site goes unresponsive for a few seconds / minutes and then it wakes up. I have found the cause of the issue and I have started working on it now. Thanks for letting me know.
The cause of the down-times have been dealt with. If you still experience lags, please reply here. Thanks.
Also some security updates done and advertisements removed.
It went sleepy byes at 7:07pm my local time again. probably for about 1 minute
Ooh really. I've managed to repair some issues. I don't know what else is now causing it. Gotta keep investigating. Thank you for letting me @calvin.
Well they are not entirely fixed Jeff. 9:20 am Saturday Morning I could not even log on. I could log on to two other US sites no problems. I then tried Opera and still could not log on here. I wish you were getting reports from some others. But it is not a BIG problem anyway.
Twice I couldn't post a reply, I left the thread and when I came back a few minutes later the first time there were three identical posts, the second time there were two identical, the second time was the thread New Birth, not Religion post # 85.
I sent a report at that time, I hope this helps.

Easily the Bears' biggest roster unknown as the teams gets ready to start training camp is the left tackle position. J'Marcus Webb and Chris Williams have split reps (limited so far) right down the middle this offseason and will continue to do so in camp until someone emerges.
So, who will emerge? Between Phil Emery, Lovie Smith and Mike Tice, the formula for success has been made clear: whoever is more consistent will win the job.
"I feel like we have guys with talent," Tice said. "Unfortunately, some of it is unrealized talent in terms of not enough consistency. I'm looking for the same thing with all the guys: I'm looking for consistency. To be a hit-or-miss guy doesn't help us."
For the most part, both candidates have been hit-or-miss—at best—up until this point.
GM Phil Emery echoed Tice's sentiment again on Tuesday. "Between [Webb and Williams] we're looking for somebody who's consistent," Emery said. "That looks like a consistent starter—someone who can contribute to winning football."
But it will be difficult to tell which player will provide the Bears with that level of consistent play until the pads go on. Even then, it may be hard to determine who's pulling ahead until preseason exhibition games begin.
"Normally players tell you exactly who should start and where you stack them on the depth chart," Lovie Smith said Tuesday. "And that'll be the case this year. But yes, it comes down to how they perform in the game also."
The Bears otherwise promising offense is severely threatened by the current lack of solid play at the left tackle position. The offensive line allowed Jay Cutler to be sacked 52 times in 2010, and allowed 49 takedowns in 2011.
Bearing the brunt of that weakness these last few years has been quarterback Jay Cutler, who made it very clear this offseason that whoever wins must step up their game.
"The offensive line is definitely going to be a concern," Cutler said. "Seeing where those guys fit in and seeing what five we go with. There are some question marks there. Until we really get that resolved, get our front five settled, we've got some work to do on offense."
J'Marcus Webb started 16 games last season, many of which were difficult to watch from a positional standpoint. Webb had 15 offensive penalties in 2011, and Football Outsiders charged him for 11.5 missed blocks which either resulted in sacks or a holding flag. Pro Football Focus called him the worst LT in the League in 2011.
From the coaches' perspectives, though, Webb has all the tools. He's built to play the position, but he also needs to improve his reads and his footwork drastically.
Chris Williams on the other hand has only managed to play one full season of his four here in Chicago. But Williams was drafted to play the position. Having played at both tackle spots in Chicago, and also left guard, Williams has not had a ton of success as a former first-round draft selection.
Williams has improved over the years, however, and is getting toward the end of his rookie contract with the Bears. They need to find out once and for all this season if their former first-rounder can play or not.
Williams does seem suited to the left side of the line at least. In 2009, at the right tackle position, Williams gave up five sacks, nine hits and 27 hurries through 11 games. When the coaches moved him back to the left side, those numbers fell to two sacks, zero hits and seven hurries through five games.
Whoever shows the highest level of consistency in the coming weeks will look to be positioned on Cutler's blind side.

As a third generation Dogtown skater, Eric "Tuma" Britton has been skateboarding since he was given his first skateboard by his father at five years old. From being part of the inside circle who made skateboarding what is is today, to being one of the most influential and recognized pro skateboards in history, "Tuma" has been at the forefront of of skateboard culture for over thirty years.
In a testament to his dedication for the sport, Tuma has shifted from riding pro to coaching the next generation of pros. While the world watches as skateboarding make its Olympic debut, Tuma has been teaching his unique "Tuma Method" to get kids of all ages in the flow for the last decade.
Beyond kids, Tuma is now sharing skateboard experiences in LA as a goFlow local expert. "We'll give you a skateboard lesson and history lesson in Venice," Tuma says. "I've been here my whole life. I will introduce you to the locals so you feel like you are part of the community. You'll enjoy yourself, and if you haven't already skated you'll go away from the experience wanting more"
For someone who grew up in the punk-rock world of the Santa Monica skate scene, Tuma's compassion and experience while teaching might come as a surprise. Yet he's become a celebrated figure and mentor in the community – so much so that a school in Malibu has enlisted him to help build the country's first skate and surf program at an elementary level.
Whether you find him in the park, taking his dogs for a walk with his son, or at a sweat lodge he frequents with close friends, he truly strives to live every aspect of his life in a state of flow.
Here, we sat down with Tuma, and his seven-year-old-son Taj for some words of wisdom.
LA ONLY: Click here to book a skateboard experience Session with Tuma!
What is the first thing you do in the morning?
Tuma: The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is say a prayer. I ask to please guide me through this day, help others, and keep me focused on the positive.
Taj: I say thank you for waking me up.
What do you have for breakfast?
Tuma: I have oatmeal with butter and a lot of maple syrup or a breakfast burrito. I like turmeric, ginger, or wheatgrass shots. Sometimes I have a peanut butter smoothie or a green smoothie. It depends on my mood. But I always add always blueberries and hemp protein. My go-to place for smoothies in Venice is Whole Foods.
Taj: I usually have a pastry, like a cinnamon roll with sugar on top. Or cereal. I like whole wheat cheerios.
How did you start skateboarding?
Tuma: When I was five my dad came home on my birthday with a plastic orange skateboard from Kmart. I took it outside and started skating. I had the balance and naturally took to it. There was a driveway by my house I would go to where I would just grab the rail and do power slides. Granted I didn't know who the Z-boys were, or Dogtown. I was just a little kid.
How did it evolve for you to continue into becoming a true expert in the sport?
Tuma: When I was ten I moved to Santa Monica. That's when things really took off. I was down by the beach where everyone was surfing and skating. When I was 11 my father told me never to come down to Venice because it was crazy at the time. There was a lot of gang violence. Now that I am a father I understand where he was coming from. But at the time, as soon as my father told me not to come down to Venice, the first thing I did was come down. Being a skateboarder maybe I was a bit rebellious – or just more of an innovator. But that's when I met Jay Adams, Tony Alva, and Jim Muir who were leaders on the scene.
YWhat was it like to be on the Venice skate scene during an iconic era?
Tuma: The Zephyr Team was a team of young guys who had a shop in Santa Monica. Jeff Ho and Skip Engblom got all the kids together. All these kids had dysfunctional households but amazing talent. Their outlet was skateboarding and they thrived at it because that was a way to release their energy. Those are the guys who brought skateboarding to the public in an extreme way. Dogtown started to emerge after that near the burnt down pier and there were wild dogs everywhere. Those are the guys who brought me up here in Venice. I'm third generation, if you want to call it, Dogtown.
What do you find you get out of skateboarding you don't find anywhere else?
Tuma: What I get out of skateboarding is the freedom that skateboarding brings you. And the creativity it allows for. Every skateboarder is going to do the same trick, but there's no standard for how that trick should be done. So it's all about expression. You're going to do the trick, but how are you going to make it look stylish, that's what sets you apart. I get a lot of the sense of freedom. I don't have to be stuck in doing everything the same way. There are no rules.
How do you get in the Flow when you Skate?
Tuma: I feel like an artist when I'm on a skateboard. It's like painting. It's a flow. I feel connected to something outside. The imaginations of skateboarders is incredible. Who would look at a handrail instead and say I want to ride that thing? I think top level athletes are like superheroes. The falls are like getting hit by a car. So it takes a special individual to get back up and continue on. It's not for the weak. And to get through it and keep going, they all need to be in the flow.
What does being in the Flow feel like for you?
Tuma: Flow is a state of being. I don't even think it's a state of mind. It's more of a body feeling. When you're out there surfing or skating, it's difficult to explain. It's just that connection. Something happens where everything turns to magic. Everything turns to flow. It's easy, and you don't even realize you're doing these movements. That's what being in the flow is.
Taj: It's feeling the movements. Well, sorta just like, clean lines. Not really tick-tacking at all.
How were you taught to skate and how does that influence how you teach?
Tuma: I am a teacher, but I didn't have a teacher who taught me. I had mentors who guided me along the way. One thing skateboarding brings to my life is drive. That's something you can't teach. You have to do it every day from a young age and really love it. You have to have drive because you're going to fall, you're going to get hurt, you're going to cry, you're going to suffer – you're going to go through all of these things, yet you'll get back up and continue to try again.
How does that drive impact other aspects of life?
Tuma: What's beautiful is that can translate to any area in your life. You're not going to succeed in everything. That's what I learned through skateboarding, and I think that's what it can teach people. I didn't realize this until I was older. really taught me to persevere.
Who has inspired you the most in your life?
Tuma: Who inspires me the most right now is my son, Taj. Who's inspired me in the past, Jeff Hartles, Jay adams, Aaron Murry, the list goes on. It's hard to say who has inspired the most because it's a collective thing. These people have shaped me. It's inspiring to see success from other people despite struggles.
How do you think teaching kids how to skate changes the way they see the world?
Tuma: Teaching kids how to skate allows them to see possibilities that might not have been there before. It opens up their subconscious to many things. The creativity comes and opens up a part of their brain. It allows them to see a handrail and think oh, I can ride that. It allows them to think out of the box. It will help them achieve commitment. It's not just a sport, it's a lifestyle. It's not easy and it takes a lot of work. It's failure and success which will help them from childhood through life. Through skateboarding they can learn to take those hits and continue chasing their dreams.
What's the most rewarding part of your job?
Tuma: Helping to mold young minds in a new way is the most rewarding part. Sometimes I'll have a flash of awareness that reminds me the importance of what I'm doing. A kid will write me a note or draw me a picture of me and him, and that's incredible. And I get to skate with my son every day. It's the best.
Taj: I like always meeting other people. And skateboarding with my dad.
When did you realize you wanted to be a Skate board coach?
Tuma: I didn't seek to become a coach, it just turned out that way. 10 years ago a friend asked me to teach his son. I didn't think much of it, but it slowly started to flow into teaching once or twice a week. It's turned into a thriving business. I teach 7 days a week, and 5 or 6 kids a day. It's great!
Taj: I feel like it's important that you like what you do!
You built your own technique of coaching and started a program skateboarding. Tell us about that?
Tuma: I have a particular method, the Tuma Method. I'm great at connecting with the kids I teach. I put myself in their shoes. I get on their level. I don't stand up above them in an authoritarian way. But I also don't let them give up. I don't let them fall their first lessons because it might deter them completely.I make it fun. Sometimes there can be some fear there, and I want them to get through that and experience fun their first few times. So it's based on compassion and understanding. They're kids – they are beautiful souls.
Do you think you have to be a natural to be good? How can you tell if someone will be the next Olympic champ?
Tuma: You can look at a kid and tell how much ability he or she has based on the flow. Some kids might not get all the tricks, but they have the flow. Some kids have all the tricks but not flow. You can almost see it in their eyes. It's very difficult to become a top athlete. To be the best, you need to be fearless. You need to have the flow. Strength and core. Focus. Coordination. Flexibility. And work ethic to train. And sometimes even the best can burn out. So it's very hard to make it to the Olympics. At the beginning, though, a kid doesn't know about the Olympics. He just knows he wants to be the best.
Taj: You have to have teamwork. You have to work with other people too.
Last thing you do at night?
Tuma: Before going to bed I always say a prayer. I say thank you for my day, for my family, for my movements, and my ability to function, and mother earth. That's what I do before I go to sleep. It's saying thank you for my day.
Taj: Sometimes I guide my stuffies [stuffed animals] and hide them behind my pillow so they don't get lost in my covers. And I say thank you too.

Police are on the lookout for the driver of a van who struck a 5-year-old boy in Northern Virginia Tuesday, then fled the scene.
According to a news release, the boy's mother had parked in the 8200 block of Rainwater Circle in Manassas, Va. just before 7 p.m. When she took the boy out of the car, he noticed a relative accross the street and ran toward them.
Police say the boy was then struck by a white Ford E350 series commercial-style van with a sliding door on the passenger side, a dent on the front left bumper and a ladder rack on top.
A witness to the crash told News4 another car narrowly missed hitting the boy, but said the van looked as though it couldn't stop.
"[The driver left] immediately," the witness asid.
The boy was flown to an area hospital and is expected to be OK. News4's Erika Gonzalez spoke with the boy's father, who said his son is back at home.
If you have any information on the van, contact Prince William County Police at 1-866-411-TIPS.

The 1959 Chicago Pan American Games: The Most Hilarious International Competition Of All Time
"What? Is that like, a cooking show or something?"
~The Average American Response to the Pan American Games
As roughly two of you already knew, this year saw the 17th Pan American Games take place in Toronto. 41 nations in the Americas competed, with America leading the way with 103 gold metals and 265 total metals. Many of you might not be familiar with the Pan American games, and that is because, like most red blooded Americans, you only can muster up enthusiasm for the Olympics, which is understandable. If you're going to try to give a shit about track and field more often than once every four years, you'd better have just married a hot wife with a high school aged son from a previous marriage who you try to support in order to make him begrudgingly like and respect you (sorry, though, no matter how hard you try, he totally won't).
For most American athletes, the Pan Am games are a way to clean up and snag a lot of metals when you only have to worry about going up against 2 of the 6 continents that field athletes competitively in international competitions. And for most Cubans, the Pan Am games are a way to defect the fuck out of Cuba. However, for a relatively inconsequential (as far as the typical American sports fan is concerned) competition, the history of the Pan Am games are both deeply interesting and kind of unintentionally hilarious. And never in the 64 years that this sporting event has been held has there been more unintentional hilarity as the first ever Pan American games to be hosted in the United States.
Because, holy shit, Chicago had no idea what it was getting itself into when it tried to plan an entire international competition in less than two years, and as a result, history will always have the wonderful train wreck that is…

American Sandwich Series: Lesser-Known Regional Sandwiches of America (Midwest Edition)
How do Midwesterners ever live past 40? Are their hearts made out of Adamantium?"
~Non-Midwesterners Reading About Popular Midwestern Sandwiches
Another day, another discussion of sandwiches coming long after you've tossed up your hands and screamed, "AFFotD, listen, I get it, there are a lot of sandwiches out there, you don't have to tell us about every damn one!" Well too late reader, by the time you've read this, they've all been written, and nothing can stop us from posting them, so you're going to take your two more weeks of sandwich articles and like it!
Anyway, we're moving on to the Midwest now in our regional portion of sandwich celebration. As stated in the first article of the series, there will be no discussion of hot dogs, and we've also covered regional favorites such as the Italian Beef (though we put that picture up there because, God, how good does that look right now?). But don't worry, there will be plenty of unhealthy food items, even from Chicago despite our decision not to include literally every food they're famous for, for you to stuff down your gullet before sobbingly calling your dietitian to apologize for cheating. Westward, ho!

America's Newest Insane Bloody Marys
"Guys, you have to stop. Even I think this is starting to get out of hand."
~AFFotD Editor-In-Chief, Johnny Roosevelt
Back in 2012, we sent our staff across the country to track down the most inventive Bloody Marys in America. The reasons behind this should be readily apparent. After all, Bloody Marys are delicious, they encourage day drinking, and they help take the edge off after especially rough visits from the weekend hangover doctor. We were able to find Bloodies that ranged from the decadent and extreme (garnished with ½ a pound of lobster, or with a ¼ of a bacon cheeseburger, for example) to strange and futuristic (Bloody Mary bites?) but all in all, looking back on it, the fact that "using pepper-infused tequila instead of vodka" was enough for us to consider it "crazy" and "cutting edge" is pretty cute. Oh how naive we once we, how innocent. That's because those past few years have seen the Bloody Mary go from "happy morning drunk juice with some celery or pickles and maybe a hunk of sausage to nibble on while you drink" to "insane carnival concoction that, oh sure we guess this full meal on a stick is going to be precariously bobbing up and down in some tomato juice and booze, but honestly look we stuck a whole fucking slider on there now pay us $10."
With "absurd Bloody Marys" officially becoming the latest arms race in American excess and awesomeness, we've decided to sort through the contenders for the most insane Bloody Marys in recent history if for no other reason than to show how far we've evolved since that moment two years ago where "a gin Bloody Mary garnished with shrimp" was something we reported about with breathless excitement, as opposed to now where we see such things and offer a jaded, "well, that's a pretty tasty way to get drunk enough to make your Monday hard to get through." Because why just get day drunk when you can get day drunk while playing a complex game of Jenga with dozens of skewered food stuffs?

Regional Hot Dog Styles Of America: Part 4
"Goddamn it, I knew Chicago would win. Those bastards."
~The, like, four New Yorkers who actually were upset that the New York-style hot dog was so low on this list
When we began our trek through America's regional hot dogs, we were legitimately worried. We had just finished writing about 11,000 words talking about long bread sandwiches, and it literally tore families apart and drove half of our staff to insanity. And we were going to immediately follow that nightmare up with a systematic breakdown of hot dog styles? Did we have a death wish outside of our normal "eating and drinking so much that interventions pretty much have become a part of our weekly schedule" death wish?
As it turns out, the task wasn't quite so daunting. Most hot dog styles follow a pretty basic blueprint. Talking about the different regional kinds of, say, chili dogs requires about as much research as talking about various pizza toppings. New Jersey wanted to put chili on their hot dog. Georgia puts their chili dog in a bowl. Pennsylvania likes to name things from Pennsylvania after Texas. It's not exactly academic research, but it is hot dogs, so it's still worth our attention our affection. And these four hot dogs remaining are the ones we love the most. So let's dig in.

Regional Hot Dog Styles Of America: Part 1
"We will eat enough hot dogs that our blood type will become 'Nitrates' and then we will eat some more."
~AFFotD Official Credo
Recently, we at AFFotD painstakingly researched over 25 different long rolled sandwiches in America over the course of 11,000 words and four articles. We learned a lot during that delicious (though at times, excruciating) journey—mainly that it takes most wives and husbands about four hours of listening to a writer drunkenly talk about sub sandwiches before they take the kids and go spend a week at their parents' place. While it's all well and good to spend your time writing about submarine sandwiches and Italian beefs, when you try to list every type of sandwich in existence you end up scrapping the bottom of the internet to find anything at all that explains why "sarney" is in the dictionary as a type of sandwich, or why whiskey doesn't always chase the demons away. After we ran ourselves ragged trying to write about every sandwich, we were pleased with our results, but swore an oath that we would never again take on such a daunting, impossible task. Unfortunately, we then celebrated the publication of the series by getting really drunk again and thinking of another article suggestion, and since we were hungry, we decided to talk about every kind of regional hot dog in America.
God…goddamn it. We just will never learn.
Anyway, it's time to delve into the magical tube of nitrates that is the hot dog in all of its wondrous (and occasionally not-so-wondrous) incarnations. Hold onto your hats, America, here's another multi-part, nation-sprawling series on unhealthy foods.

The Regional Italian and Submarine Sandwiches of America: Midwest and West Coast
"We just wanted to write about sub sandwiches. That's safe, right? Delicious, universally loved sub sandwiches. Then the madness came. Then the darkness fell. Then came the Sarney."
~Found Footage From the Ruins of the Building That Once Housed AFFotD's Main Office
When we started this journey, we were happy. We were unified. We were just sitting around the writer's table, adding whiskey to our coffee (office culture dictates that you can't drink hard unmixed hard alcohol until at least eleven in the morning), laughing, loving. Living. Then, in walked Johnny Roosevelt, our Editor-in-Chief and winner of 2013's "drunkest at our Christmas party" award.
"Ladies. Gentlemen. Ghosts of the cool Presidents that would have been considered alcoholics in today's society. We haven't really talked about sandwiches much, have we?"
And hell followed.
It seemed simple enough. We would just write about all the sandwiches we could think of that are served in long rolls. Basically, variation of submarine and Italian sandwiches, a cornerstone of our culture. We started with the East Coast to cover subs and Italians, and followed it up with Pennsylvania sandwiches so we could write about hoagies and cheesesteaks. We didn't need to get into dagwood territory, because writing about various sliced bread sandwiches would easily creep into the mundane, and also fuck Dagwood Bumstead.
Then the voices came.
"Tunnels. Bombers. Torpedoes. Barb fucking Mills. Try as you might, you will not find them. They only exist in name to haunt you. Your charge is futile. Your destiny is pointless."
Anyway, here are some motherfucking sandwiches from the motherfucking Midwest and West Coast and we guarantee we'll come across another non-existent sandwich and we will lose our motherfucking minds.

The Five Best Regional Pizzas In America
"Goddamn it AFFotD, now I REALLY want pizza for dinner."
We here at AFFotD have a hard time shutting up about pizza, probably because it's delicious and incredible and if you don't like pizza you're a bad person and you should feel bad. However, in our rush to point out things like "Pizza with toppings put in the crust" or "Goddamn it Japan you're doing it wrong" we've overlooked one of the most important aspects of pizza's culinary life—its European beginnings, and America's impressive ability to adapt it for its own heart-clogging purposes. Pizza as a dish originated in Naples, Italy, much more recently than you would assume—while variations of bread baked with cheese have been around since the ancient Greeks, and Italians were eating some combination of baked bread, cheese, and tomato called "pizza" since the 17th century, the "modern" pizza likely wasn't invented until 1889, using red tomato, green basil, and white mozzarella so as to cover the pie in the three colors of the Italian flag. It's basically the same logic that America applied when inventing red, white, and blue jello shots.
Despite being such a famously "Italian" food staple, America wasn't particularly far behind the curve in the pizza department. The first American pizza establishment opened up in the Little Italy neighborhood of New York by 1905. Once pizza reached our shores, we went to work on perfecting it, and we've since gone on to develop countless regional forms of the dish, some of them barely resembling the original Italian creation. Usually that's for the best. Sometimes, not so much.
But we are a land of experimentation, and we're here to embrace that quality, so join us for the first part of a two part pizza spectacular where we show you the best and worst of America's regional pizzas, starting with the best because we know you're hungry right now and we do so love to torture you.
The Five Best Regional Pizzas In America
The History of Chicago-Style Pizza
"That's not a pizza, it's a damn casserole! I feel strangely threatened when I see different versions of a food my city's supposed to be known for!"
~New Yorkers
At its heart, pizza is just cheese, dough, and tomato sauce, topped with whatever additional ingredient you want. Inherently, pizza exists to breed creativity and adaptivity. In the hands of madmen and foreigners, this culinary freedom can be disastrous, but in the hands of true Americans, this can create an unhealthy, delicious American meal glorious enough to single-handedly keep additional-belt-hole-punchers in business. One of the most glorious examples of this, of course, is the Chicago-style pizza. Less of a pizza pie, and more of a pizza cake, Chicago's deep dish pizza gives you as much fat, grease, and cheese as you'd expect to find from a city that's primary gift to the realm of fine cooking involves hot dogs and roast beef dipped in its own juices.
So with a casual, "Get over it, yes, we get it, you guys are proud of your pizza, and you have good pizza places, but stop acting like you've done anything original to the style just because you use special tap water to make the crust" to our now-livid readers in New York, AFFotD is proud to present you with…

The Most American Restaurants of: CHICAGO
"Second city? More like fifth coronary, amiright?"
~AFFotD Food Critic, John Goodman
America loves to eat. That shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. When you live in a country that has 14,000 McDonalds, 7,500 Pizza Huts, and 6,500 Dunkin' Donuts, you know that you have a pretty large population of people who live to stuff their faces. But while fast food chains are appropriately American, getting you unhealthy food quick enough that you can fat fat fatty FAT, it is truly the local American restaurants that are able to really embrace American culinary ideals. Because sure, if Hardees wants to make a burger with twice your daily allotment of fat in it, people are going to flip their shit, but if someone has a heart attack in the midst of eating a 6,000 calorie burger, it's fucking awesome (unless that man's family is reading this, in which case we salute him for going down like a fucking boss).
That's why we here at AFFotD are starting our latest American feature—the most American restaurants of major American cities.
So when we think of cities that thrive on unhealthy food and have so little shame that we're pretty sure veganism is a considered a misdemeanor by its police force, we think of the one city that we'd like to start this segment out with.
The city of fat asses broad shoulders… Chicago, Illinois.
