Well, I did use the phrase "looking and playing as close as possible" as far as the regular R-Is are concerned and if you think they can't still get things wonky you should have a look at the lower-edge peghead outline of my R0...
Seriously, though; I, like a few others here, have mentioned before how sublime have been the Colector's Choice instruments we have been fortunate enough to play. If many more man-hours - and subsequent increased costs - are required to create that supremely high quality of instrument as consistently as the CC seem to be able to produce then it's worth it over the regular USA-line Les Paul for those with the means.
I know the audience couldn't tell one way or another but that's not the point of the CC nor of the True Historics nor even of the regular R-Is; the point is solely appreciated by the owners.
It really is as simple as that.

Sometimes we are put in trying situations for reality checks at times, it may happen that we may sometimes try to do more than we can handle perhaps to a point that we neglect the most important ppl in our lives without intending to. For every difficult situation that we encounter, there's a lesson to be learned no matter how negative it may be. Hard as it may seem, this is true. Whatever we go thru in life especially if it's very difficult, we can and will overcome it with God's love, strength and guidance and we become stronger, wiser, and humbled. Have a blessed Sunday!❤

Hey Good People, I am feeling so blessed this morning. I got a chance to go to Lakeview Day/Night yesterday. To see people I haven't seen in 20, 30 or even 35 years was a blast. For people from all over the country to come to Lakeview, New York for one day and get together and enjoy each is what life is all about. I can't even speak clearly this morning, my voice is shot for all that yelling. If you thought the day was good, the night activities on Hillman Street was even better. The Afterparty was off the meter!! If you missed it, you missed the Event of 2014 as far as I'm concerned. I just LOVE my Lakeview family!! Family, have a Beautiful and Blessed Sunday. I Love You, Boobie. Weigh-In On This.
My God shall supply all of my needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus; I don't pressure my Heavenly Father for everything I want.

"When we surrender to God, we surrender to something bigger than ourselves... When we stop trying to control events, they fall into a natural order, an order that works. We're at rest while a power much greater than our own takes over, and it does a much better job than we could have done. "God" means love, and "will" means thought. God's will, then, is loving thought. God will do His part if we do ours. Our only job in every situation is to merely let go of our resistance to love. What happens then is up to Him." Some wise, encouraging words from "A Return to Love" by Marianne Williamson. Have a BLESSED Sunday!
We hope everyone has a blessed Sunday!

We are The Power-house We always carry anointing of Holy Spirit In Us. Amen. Blessed Sunday to you my dear friends, Romans 8:9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. Above scripture is a POWERFUL message. May God bless all of you. Shalom. Evangelist Jasmine Thason.
As I faced my Maker at last judgement, I knelt before the Lord along with the other souls . Before each of us laid our lives, like the squares of a quilt. An angel sat before each of us sewing our quilt squares together into a tapestry that is our life. But as my angel took each piece of cloth off the pile, I noticed how ragged and empty each of my squares was. They were filled with giant holes. Each square was labeled with a part of my life that had been difficult, the challenges and temptations I was faced with in everyday life. I saw hardships that I endured, which were the largest holes of all. I glanced around me. Nobody else had such squares. Other than a tiny hole here and there, the other tapestries were filled with rich color and all the bright hues of worldly fortune. I gazed upon my own life and was disheartened. My angel was sewing the ragged pieces of cloth together, threadbare and empty like binding air. Finally the time came when each life was to be displayed, held up to the light, the scru ...

"The church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints." Off to church because my heart and soul needs fixing. I go to church because I know I needed God to heal me. To heal me from the wounds this cruel world caused me. Whatever wounds you are carrying right now, you can run full force to Jesus and ask for healing. He is able and He is willing... Let us all run to the cross and embrace that HEALING that He promised. Have a blessed Sunday everyone. HAPPY DAY! ☺

To study the effect of ventilation strategy on perfluorochemical (PFC) elimination profile (evaporative loss profile; EL), 6 ml/kg of perflubron were instilled into anesthetized normal rabbits. The strategy was to maintain minute ventilation (V˙e, in ml/min) in three groups:V˙e L (low-range V˙e, 208 ± 2), V˙e M (midrangeV˙e, 250 ± 9), andV˙e H (high-range V˙e, 293 ± 1) over 4 h. In three other groups, respiratory rate (RR, breaths/min) was controlled at 20, 30, or 50 with a constant V˙e and adjusted tidal volume. PFC content in the expired gas was measured, and EL was calculated. There was a significant V˙e- and time-dependent effect on EL. Initially, percent PFC saturation and loss rate decreased in the V˙e H >V˙e M >V˙e L groups, but by 3 h the lower percent PFC saturation resulted in a loss rate such thatV˙e H <V˙e M <V˙e L at 4 h. For the groups at constant V˙e, there was a significant time effect on EL but no RR effect. In conclusion, EL profile is dependent on V˙e with little effect of the RR-tidal volume combination. Thus measurement of EL andV˙e should be considered for the replacement dosing schemes during partial liquid ventilation.
- partial liquid ventilation
- minute ventilation
- elimination
- rabbit
partial liquid ventilation (PLV) with perfluorochemical (PFC) has been shown effective in treating a variety of respiratory diseases and is currently in Phase II/III clinical trials with perflubron. Numerous investigators have reported improved gas exchange, lung mechanics, and survival, as well as a reduction in the degree of lung injury and inflammatory infiltrates in animals and humans on PLV compared with gas ventilation (2, 4, 12, 20, 24, 25, 33, 38, 39, 42). A stable PFC volume in the lungs is desirable to optimize the beneficial effects of PLV (29). However, the best way to maintain the PFC liquid level in the lungs is still under investigation. Evaporation of PFC is related to a number of factors that make PFC replacement dosing unclear. Previous investigations have shown that the elimination of PFC from the lungs is associated with the air-PFC liquid interface and influenced by the PFC physical properties, the dosing volume and frequency of dosing, body position, lung volume (possibly in combination with positive end expiratory pressure), and the effect of lung injury in combination with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (16, 17, 29, 37, 41, 43). However, there is no available information on ventilation strategy and its effects on elimination of PFC during PLV.
With regard to ventilation strategy, we hypothesized that the PFC elimination profile (EL; percent PFC saturation and PFC loss rate) is dependent on minute ventilation (V˙e) and the respiratory rate (RR)-tidal volume (Vt) combination. Therefore, the present study was designed to test the effects of V˙e and RR-Vt combination on the PFC elimination from the respiratory system. In addition, a secondary endpoint of the study was to evaluate the effect of PFC elimination on pulmonary gas exchange and function.
All animals were managed according to the NIH regulationsGuide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. In addition, all procedures were approved by the Institutional Animal Care Use Committee of Temple University.
Animal Preparation
Thirty-six New Zealand White juvenile rabbits (weight 2.2 ± 0.1 kg) with normal lungs were anesthetized with an intramuscular injection of a mixture of ketamine (23 mg/kg), acepromazine (0.58 mg/kg), and xylazine (0.8 mg/kg). This particular animal model was chosen on the basis of our previous experience with the model, the suitability of the model as it applies to neonatal and pediatric medicine, and the history of this preparation for PLV studies (1,16, 17, 21, 37-41). The skin and soft tissues were anesthetized with 0.5% lidocaine HCl (4 mg/kg) and instrumented with tracheostomy placement of a 3-mm-ID endotracheal tube (Hi-Lo Jet Tube, Mallincrodkt, Saint Louis, MO). Catheters were placed in a jugular vein and carotid artery. Conventional gas ventilation with a time-cycled, pressure-limited ventilator (BP-200, Bear Medical Systems, Riverside, CA) was established to maintain physiological cardiopulmonary condition. Subsequent anesthesia was maintained with intravenous injection of the above anesthesia drug (one-tenth of initial anesthesia dose) hourly. Muscle relaxation was induced by intravenous administration of pancuronium bromide (0.1 mg/kg) and maintained with continuous infusion (0.15 mg · kg−1 · h−1) throughout the experiments. Maintenance fluid was provided by a continuous infusion of 5% dextrose at a rate of 5 mg · kg−1 · h−1. Arterial blood pressure was monitored by attaching the arterial catheter to a standard pressure transducer, connected to a neonatal monitor (Athena/Neonatal 9040, S & W Medico Teknik, Albertslund, Denmark). Electrocardiogram electrodes and a rectal temperature probe were inserted for monitoring. The animal's rectal temperature was maintained within 37–38°C.
Experimental Protocol
V˙e protocol.
Nineteen animals were randomly assigned to one of three groups to study the effect of V˙e on the PFC elimination profile. Constant V˙e was maintained in each group throughout the experiment: low-range V˙e target (V˙e L = 205–215), midrangeV˙e target (V˙e M = 245–255), and high-range V˙e target (V˙e H = 285–395 ml · kg−1 · min−1), which were determined by our pilot study to keep the arterial partial pressure of CO2 (PaCO2) in a physiological range. The V˙e was maintained constant in each group by monitoring Vt every 15–30 min using pneumotachography (PEDS-LAB, MAS, Hatfield, PA) and appropriately adjusting ventilator peak inflation pressure. In addition, several healthy rabbits ventilated without PFC were also studied, as described by Tutuncu et al. (40), to confirm cardiopulmonary stability of the animal preparation over time.
Ventilation strategy protocol.
Seventeen animals were randomly assigned to one of three additional groups to study the effect of varying RR and Vt on PFC elimination from the respiratory system. RR (breaths/min) was controlled at RR20 = 20, RR30 = 30, and RR50 = 50, and Vt was corrected by adjusting peak inflation pressure and positive end-expiratory pressure to maintain V˙e (V˙e = 275–290 ml · min−1 · kg−1) and mean airway pressure (7–8 cmH2O) in a constant range. Mean airway pressure was maintained constant in an attempt to regulate end-expiratory lung volume, which is associated with the air-PFC liquid interface.
In all study groups, other ventilation profiles were maintained constant: inspiratory time 0.3 s, positive end-expiratory pressure 5–6 cmH2O, inspired O2 fraction = 1.0. Baseline expired gas and arterial blood samples were obtained followed by sequential measurements every 60 min. Pulmonary mechanics (PEDS-LAB, MAS, Hatfield, PA) were measured every 60 min as previously described (3). Animal position (supine), airway temperature (35°C), and humidity (100%) were kept constant throughout the experiment. Perflubron (6 ml/kg; LiquiVent, Alliance Pharmaceutical, San Diego, CA) was instilled into the lungs via the side port of the endotracheal tube for 5–10 min. During instillation, the animal was repositioned to optimize PFC distribution by using four equal increments of the total dose, with Trendelenberg, reverse Trendelenberg, and left and right lateral decubitus positions.
Expired gas samples were manually collected over 30 s (using a stopcock on a side port of the endotracheal tube into a 50-ml rebreathing bag) at 15 min after PFC instillation and then every 30 min (16, 17, 21, 29, 41). In each sample of expired gas, the percent PFC saturation and expired CO2 tension (NOVA blood gas instrument) at 37°C were measured by using a modification of a previously described thermal detector device (29). The percent PFC saturation values were corrected for the CO2 content and water vapor in the expired gas samples as previously described (29).
All of the experiments were continued for 4 h. Arterial partial pressure of O2 (PaO2) was maintained >100 mmHg and pH was maintained in a physiological range. At the end of the experiments, the animals were euthanized with 15% potassium chloride.
The EL was established by determining the following parameters, based on previous studies (21, 29, 41) Equation 1 Equation 2 Equation 3
Data Analysis
One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare basic physiological data as a function of time. Two-way ANOVA and post hoc analysis with Student-Newman-Keuls correction for multiple comparisons were performed to compare EL and other parameters as a function of time and groups. One-way ANOVA and post hoc analysis with Student-Newman-Keuls correction were performed to compare the values of EL and other parameters at each time point. Significance was accepted at the P < 0.05 level.
V˙e Study
As shown in Table 1 (mean ± SE), body weight did not differ significantly across groups.V˙e was maintained constant in three significantly (P < 0.01) different ranges (V˙e H = 293 ± 1 > MHM = 250 ± 9 >V˙e L = 208 ± 2 ml · kg−1 · min−1). Figure1 shows the percent PFC saturations and the loss rate of PFC over time for each group. As shown, the relationship is significantly (P < 0.05) dependent onV˙e and time. After the initial instillation, the expired gas in all groups was saturated with approximately the same amount of PFC (50% saturation). The percent PFC saturation of expired gas declined over time for all groups; however, the expired gas remained relatively saturated with PFC for a longer time at lower levels of V˙e. Initially, the loss rate of the groups with higher V˙e was greater (V˙e H >V˙e M >V˙e L) because of theV˙e, but, by 3 h, the lower percent PFC saturation resulted in a loss rate such thatV˙e H <V˙e M <V˙e L at 4 h.
The relationship of residual PFC in the lung and the PFC loss as a percentage of initial dose over time for each group is shown in Fig.2. There were lower amounts of residual PFC in the lungs and a higher loss (percentage of initial PFC dose) in the groups with higher V˙e during the first 3 h. Table 2 (means ± SE) demonstrates how the redosing interval is dependent on the V˙e such that replacement doses are needed sooner when the V˙eis higher. For example, it takes 20 min longer for theV˙e L group to lose 20% of the initial dose compared with the V˙e H group.
Table 3 illustrates the cardiopulmonary profiles of animals in the V˙e groups. As a function of time and group, there were significant changes in PaO2 and Cdyn over time (P < 0.05). However, there are significant changes in Cdyn% as a function of time only and in PaCO2 as a function of group only (P< 0.05).
Ventilation Strategy Study
As shown in Table 1, the body weight and V˙e did not differ significantly among groups. By design, different breathing rates were set for each group, and thus Vt was adjusted to maintain a similar V˙e = 283 ± 4 SE ml · kg−1 · min−1. Figure3 demonstrates that percent PFC saturation and PFC loss rate were each significantly (P < 0.05) dependent on time, but there was no effect of RR. As shown, Fig.4 demonstrates that the PFC loss and the residual amount of PFC in the lung are each significantly (P< 0.01) correlated with time, but there was no significant difference with respect to RR.
Table 4 illustrates the cardiopulmonary profiles in the ventilation strategy study. As a function of time and group, there is a significant change in Cdyn over time (P < 0.05). However, there are significant changes in Cdyn% and PaO2 as a function of time only and in PaCO2 as a function of group only (P < 0.05).
Figure 5 illustrates the relationship between residual PFC and both PaO2 and Cdyn% in all study groups (V˙e and ventilation strategy groups). Although parametric in time, these data represent time points from 15 min to 4 h after PFC instillation. As shown in Fig. 5(top), there was a significant (P < 0.001) positive correlation between the amount of residual PFC and the PaO2 (r = 0.55). Likewise, as shown in Fig. 5 (bottom), there was a significant (P < 0.001) positive correlation between the amount of residual PFC and Cdyn% (r = 0.87). These data indicate a physiological correlation between oxygenation, lung mechanics, and residual perflubron in the lungs; thus, as residual perflubron is diminished as a result of evaporative loss, there is a deterioration in both oxygenation and lung compliance.
The data presented herein demonstrate that whenV˙e is increased during PLV, the evaporative loss of PFC is increased. This information has significant implications with respect to subsequent redosing during the clinical application of PLV. Higher evaporative loss from the lungs in subjects treated with higherV˙e indicates it is necessary to replace PFC sooner than those with lower V˙e. As noted herein, to maintain 80% of the initial dose in the lungs, theV˙e H group would require dosing 20 min more frequently than the V˙e L group. In addition, as noted in Fig. 5, there are graded physiological consequences in oxygenation and pulmonary compliance associated with evaporative loss and no replacement dosing. Furthermore, during PLV with the same V˙e, it was shown that all components of EL are dependent on time after instillation and not ventilation strategy (high RR vs. low RR). Thus ventilation strategy has little impact on PFC redosing schedule during PLV.
The physiochemical properties of PFC liquid have been studied by previous investigators (7, 18, 22, 27, 44). The vapor pressure of breathable PFC liquids ranges from 0.2–400 mmHg at a temperature of 37°C, so the rate of evaporative loss from the respiratory system is vapor pressure dependent (29). Also, PFC volatilization from the lungs is the major route of elimination from the body, because PFC is not metabolized in the body (31,43). In addition to vapor pressure, several other factors influence the elimination of PFC from the lungs, including the physicochemical properties of PFC and physiological factors of animals or humans (43).
As previously reported, it appears that maintaining the amount of PFC liquid in damaged lungs prevents time-dependent changes in gas exchange and pulmonary function during PLV (1, 6, 8, 9, 11-14,23-25, 38, 39, 42, 44). Therefore, it is valuable to have a continuous assessment of the amount of PFC in the lung to maintain the physiological effectiveness of PLV. Several radiological studies have also confirmed the evaporation and redistribution processes in animals and humans after administration of various amounts of PFC into the lungs (8, 10, 17, 34, 36, 45). On the basis of these findings, investigators focused on the design of methods for monitoring the elimination of PFC from the lungs (15, 21, 29). Using the thermal detector method, Miller et al. (17) reported that the elimination rate after multiple doses of PFC would be significantly higher than that after a single dose. Likewise, Weis et al. (41) reported that the elimination of PFC was dependent on the initial dose and the time after instillation. Preliminary data indicate that repositioning during PLV modulates PFC elimination from the lungs and that position (supine vs. prone) during PLV results in a different loss rate (5, 17, 29). To prevent PFC elimination during PLV, several ventilator circuit designs for PFC dose maintenance are currently under investigation (19,28).
In the present study, the primary focus was on V˙e and ventilation strategy and subsequent effects on perflubron elimination during 4 h of PLV. In addition, the physiological consequences associated with perflubron evaporation were correlated withV˙e and ventilation strategy. Numerous animal and clinical studies have reported the need to redose perflubron during short-term and long-term PLV; however, none of these studies was able to correlate the need for redosing with the actual evaporative loss of perflubron (9, 11-13, 23, 26, 42). The results presented herein show that, with regard to ventilator management,V˙e is a major factor that influences the elimination of perflubron from the lungs. Thus, whenever V˙e is adjusted during PLV as a result of ventilator management and clinical care, it is necessary to consider the influence of V˙echanges on perflubron elimination and to adjust the redosing schedule appropriately. As noted by Weis et al. (41), the need for redosing is potentiated by initial dose requirements; that is, lower initial doses (6 ml/kg) require more frequent dosing than larger initial doses (18 ml/kg). It is also noteworthy that in the present study it was found that, as long as V˙e was maintained constant, alterations in RR from 20 to 50 breaths/min had little effect on PFC loss profile.
The issue of an "optimum initial PFC dose" is still under investigation, although doses from 25 to 100% of FRC have been studied with varied success (6, 14, 26, 32, 42). In the present experiment, we initially administered 6 ml/kg perflubron into the lungs, ∼1/3 the normal FRC volume of a juvenile rabbit (17,41). We based this initial dose on previous studies (17,41) as well as on the low dose protocol for the current phase III, adult clinical trial for PLV (personal communication, Dr. Mark Wedel, Alliance Pharmaceutical). In addition, it has been reported that this volume of perflubron is sufficient to coat the lung because of a conformational change from a droplet to a film during inflation (35).
Partial liquid ventilation with PFC liquid has been reported to be effective in treating experimental respiratory failure (12,44). Success has been associated with the high solubility of respiratory gases in the PFC liquid that support gas exchange. Furthermore, several investigators also noticed that lung compliance could improve due to the recruitment of alveoli and reducing the surface tension in damaged lungs (23, 35, 38, 39, 41, 42). In contrast to the injured lung, numerous studies have shown that residual PFC liquid in a healthy lung does not improve pulmonary mechanics or gas exchange. In addition, it has been shown that the gas exchange response to residual PFC liquid in the lungs is inversely related to lung condition (30). Furthermore, it has been shown that during prolonged PLV (without replacement dosing), there is a deterioration of lung mechanics, gas exchange, and histology, which suggested that atelectasis does occur during return to conventional mechanical ventilation. These findings have also been shown in the short-term studies presented herein. It is noteworthy that time-dependent deterioration in oxygenation and compliance were not observed in our pilot studies of rabbits with healthy lungs without PLV. In addition, to the degree that these studies were in agreement with that of Tutuncu et al. (40), time-dependent deterioration in cardiopulmonary function can be excluded, with reason, as a possible covariant in the relationship between oxygenation and compliance with residual PFC volume.
The mechanism for alterations in gas exchange and lung mechanics can be explained as illustrated in Fig. 6. As shown, when the lungs are initially instilled with PFC (depending on the initial dose), most of the alveoli are recruited. Thus the lung is divided into three compartments: 1) gas filled with a PFC film lining (nondependent); 2) partially gas filled with a PFC film lining and partially PFC liquid filled (midlung region); and3) PFC liquid filled (dependent). As PFC liquid evaporates and the animals are still paralyzed, the alveoli with PFC are more likely to remain expanded. Nondependent and midlung regions demonstrate the highest degree of clearing, whereas the dependent regions remain relatively liquid filled (17). Thus derecruitment of alveoli secondary to PFC evaporation is probably associated with the observed deterioration in oxygenation and compliance (Fig. 5). Although the present study is not supported with histopathological evidence, previously we have shown that nonuniform PFC distribution and histopathological correlates during PLV of the respiratory distress syndrome lung (44). Therefore, to prevent unnecessary compromise in oxygenation and lung mechanics, as shown herein, accurate replacement of evaporated PFC is crucial to maintain optimum treatment with PLV, especially when the V˙e is changed.
In conclusion, for the presented juvenile animal model, it was found that the evaporative loss profile is dependent on V˙ewith little effect of the RR-Vt combination. Thus assessment of PFC evaporative loss and V˙e should be considered for the replacement dosing schemes during PLV. Finally, the present study was conducted in healthy juvenile animals. These data suggest that further studies of injured, larger, and human lungs in a clinical setting are warranted to evaluate the effect of ventilation strategy on PFC elimination.

A DOG walker was airlifted to hospital by the RAF after breaking her ankle at a remote coastal spot.
Margaret Jefferson, 58, from Dawdon, was out walking West Highland terriers Max and Ellie with her daughter-in-law Dawn Walker, 32, when she slipped on the steps of Smuggler's Path.
The spot, between Hawthorn and Dawdon, is some distance from a road and close to the beach, leaving the emergency services the only option of drafting in a Sea King helicopter from RAF Boulmer in Northumberland to transport her to Sunderland Royal.
Paramedics and members of HM Coastguard, who were called out at 1.30pm, had to walk to the spot from the car park at Nose's Point to offer her first aid.
Margaret's partner Colin Atkinson, 52, who runs Seaham Taxis, was phoned by the women as they realised they needed help, but he and others were unable to move her without help because of where she had fallen.
Colin said: "They'd taken the dogs out to Smuggler's Path and she slipped on the stones.
"I think it's her leg that's broken, and there's no way we could have carried her back. They put something around her leg and gave her some gas and air.
"The helicopter landed on the beach, then circled around and then went back, so I think they might have winched her up."

TWO of the country's most acclaimed violinists have sold their historic home in Manly for more than $1.25 million.
Composer and leader of the Australian Chamber Orchestra Richard Tognetti and his partner Satu Vanska, principal violinist with the same orchestra, sold their 1898 apartment in just three days.
The three-bedroom apartment in George St included period features such as Federation stained-glass windows, and came with a garage. It was to be auctioned on April 12.
Mr Tognetti, one of Australia's most esteemed violinists and composers, was declared a national living treasure in 1999 and awarded the Order of Australia in 2010.
Agent Georgi Bates, of Cunninghams Property, said the George St ground floor apartment had virtually sold to a database buyer by the time she held the first open house.
She said scores of others were interested as soon as it was advertised — including another violinist.
Once part of Manly's landmark 1898 mansion Leitelinna, the apartment appealed to buyers because of its size, and mix of heritage and contemporary design.
The mansion was converted in the 1950s into seven boutique apartments, with a private walkway to Fairlight St. The beach shops and ferries are a short walk away.
Ms Bates said the quick sale reflected a continued boom in the local market.
``I have sold $10 million worth of property in March alone, there is such strong demand which is outweighing supply and I don't see it changing,'' she said.
The home was bought by a North Balgowlah family.
Mr Tognetii, 49, led the Australian Chamber Orchestra for two decades, helping to raise it from a little known outfit to one of international acclaim.
He has played, composed and recorded music all over the world, and even tutored Russell Crowe for his role in Master and Commander.
The couple is now looking for something bigger but just as historic within walking distance of Manly wharf.
``My partner Satu moved here from Germany and adores Manly and I am an obsessive surfer and love running into the Pacific Ocean,'' Mr Tognetti said.

Kate Chopin was born Katherine O'Flaherty in St. Louis, Missouri, on February 8, 1851, to Eliza Faris and Thomas O'Flaherty. Although she was brought up in a wealthy and socially elite Catholic family, Chopin's childhood was marred by tragedies. Her father was killed in a train accident when Chopin was just four years old, and in the following years she also lost her older brother, great-grandmother, and half-brother. In 1870, at the age of 19, she married Oscar Chopin, the son of a wealthy cotton-growing family in Louisiana. The couple had seven children together, five boys and two girls, before Oscar died of swamp fever in 1883. The following year, Chopin packed up her family and moved back to St. Louis to be with her mother, who died just a year later. To support herself and her family, Chopin started to write. Her first novel, At Fault, was published in 1890. Her most famous work, The Awakening, inspired by a real-life New Orleans woman who committed adultery, was published in 1899. The book explores the social and psychological consequences of a woman caught in an unhappy marriage in 19th century America, is now considered a classic of the feminist movement and caused such an uproar in the community that Chopin almost entirely gave up writing. Chopin did try her hand at a few short stories, most of which were not even published. Chopin died on August 22, 1904, of a brain hemorrhage, after collapsing at the World's Fair just two days before.
In 1977, Showalter published A Literature of Their Own: British Women Novelists from Bronte to Lessing. It was one of the most influential works in feminist criticism, as it sought to establish a distinctive tradition for women writers. In later essays, Showalter helped to develop a clearly articulated feminist theory with two major branches: the special study of works by women and the study of all literature from a feminist perspective. In all of her recent writing, Showalter has sought to illuminate a "cultural model of female writing," distinguishable from male models and theories. Her role as editor bringing together key contemporary feminist criticism has been extremely influential on modern literary study.

There's lots of information out that that suggests that there are bad chemicals in this stuff. What do you think?
sort by best latest
Yes! I stopped using perfume years ago and haven't used it since. As far as all the every day lotions and such, I published a hub recently that addresses this topic.
You definitely need to be an informed consumer to protect yourself and those you care about.

Totally!! A 'normal' perfume can have up to 200 different and harmful chemicals in it for a start.
Cosmetics (waterproof mascara for example has mercury in it) and toiletries aren't much better with most containing chemicals like parabens and SLS (sodium laureth sulphate) which have links to cancers and reproductive organ damage among many other problems.
Don't be fooled by the name of the product either...check the ingredients lists to make absolutely sure. If it's not organic it will no doubt have pesticides in it which are a cocktail of harmful stuff including mercury and as we absorb roughly 40% of everything we put on our skin into our blood it's VERY important to check carefully.
One last thing...please also be aware of the affect of chemicals to those around you. Even just walking down the road something like perfume or other sprays that you might be wearing can trigger asthma attacks and other reactions for others.
Hope this has helped! :)

We've all read the ingredients label on the back of a can, box, or bag from the grocery store. But what do all those mysterious-sounding chemicals and additives actually do?
Focusing on 75 of the most common food additives and 25 ordinary food products that contain them, acclaimed photographer Dwight Eschliman and science writer Steve Ettlinger demystify the contents of processed food. Together they reveal what each additive looks like, where it comes from, and how and why it is used.
Essential for everyone who is concerned about the wholesomeness of their diet or merely curious about "polysorbate 60" or "tertiary butylhydroquinone," Ingredients is a visually and scientifically stunning journey from ketchup to Cool Whip.
You'll be surprised at what you find.
Published by Regan Arts, the hardcover book will be available in bookstores on 09/29.

Your kitchen is the place where odors, flavors, and taste mingle together with the familiar rites of cooking and the pleasure of spending time together. Modernity ahs turned the kitchen into a place rich with significance, the center of household affection and family ties.
With technology, the kitchen itself is able to breathe, to take on its own distinct personality, and at the center of the kitchen is the cooker hood, working to improve wellbeing and ameliorate the quality of the air around us. Air is the space we inhabit, the means of communication between people and things, the fundamental aspect of any discourse involving relationships: the immaterial element that makes up the very texture of domesticity.
It is empty, rather than filled, space that provides perfume, emotion, and togetherness. The cook hood, originally designed to capture cooking fumes and eliminate unpleasant odors and humidity from the living area, today bathes the cooktop with high quality illumination, offering the clearest possible view of food and cooking activity: acoustically negligible, it has become a decorative object that creates a real sense of identity.
Elica cooker hoods liberate and cleanse the air around us, embodying the true spirit of the house we live in.
Palermo provides professional grade performance, while it's 29" width and 11 1/4" depth enables it to be discreetly installed within standard 12" deep cabinetry, making it ideal for smaller kitchens or where the range hood needs to be out of sight. Palermo has a powerful 600 CFM blower to support most cooking needs. Stylish electronic controls operate a 3 speed blower and halogen lighting. Easy maintenance, higher efficiency and a cleaner kitchen are ensured by Elica's patented Baffle Slot Filters, which capture a higher percent of grease and hold larger volumes of grease than traditional baffle filters. Palermo is designed for standard ducted or recirculating installation.

It is going to be an in-your-face New Year as we take down our 2013 calendars and replace them with the 2014 calendar loaded with a series of Black Friday dates.
The current president has done the most towards accomplishing his goals that he set coming into office than any other president in American history. The only problem is that President Barry is the ultimate Manchurian Candidate.
As I have documented before, his mother, Anne Dunham, worked for Tim Geithner's father for the CIA sponsored Ford Foundation when Barry was little. Throughout his young life, little Barry was taught to hate America and the free enterprise system by the communists who raised him ranging from Frank Marshall Davis to the key members of the Weatherman Underground (e.g. Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn as well as the Valerie Jarrett family). Consequently, Barry was the right man at the right time to become the president . He is the ultimate Manchurian Candidate. Heretofore, let's just call him, President Manchurian.
Manchurian Candidate Wishes You a Happy New Year, 12/31/13by

Defensive drills often leave a good portion of the team standing around. Here's a drill ideal for improving your squad's overall defensive play, as well as keeping everybody engaged and having fun.
Purpose of the Drill
This is an excellent drill to start your defensive practice that uses every player on the team to warm up fielding and throwing. I usually start this drill with four balls allowing for four overthrows.
What to Focus On
As we are trying to field the ball correctly we are also emphasizing accurate throws.
If the fourth ball is overthrown, the entire team will take a lap around the field (jogging) and the drill will start over.
I've had great success with this drill narrowing the number of balls down to two.
How the Drill Works
Setup a player at first base with a second player as a backup. Setup a catcher at home.
All other players are at third base with one player playing third base and everyone else in line outside the foul line.
Coach is at home plate with the four balls and a bat. The drill break down this way:
- Coach hits grounder to third baseman who fields the ball
- She makes an accurate throw
- Follows her throw and becomes backup at first base
- Player playing first base after catching ball makes accurate throw home to catcher
- Then player at first base follows her throw to become catcher
- Catcher tosses ball to coach
- Catcher than goes to end of line at third base, who hits to next player in line at third base
Station to Station
After entire team completes fielding and throwing rotation have the players go through this circuit:
- Move to third base
- Move to shortstop
- Then to second base
- Then back to third base and run bunt defense, with a player at second base moving to first base for the catch
In other words on the bunt defense you now have the first base backup playing second base and first base, as well as third base are charging the bunt.
Finishing Up
To wrap things up, after the play have:
- The first base player comes home to be catcher
- Second base becomes first base
- Third baseman moves to second base and catcher gets in line at third base

Thomas and lavina johnson have another daughter Louisa Johnson. She married
George Astin. They had William Astin (my 2nd great grandfather).
The big problem with this family is the fact that I cannot find any
information on Thomas or Lavina. I cannot find where they were born, their
parents, Lavina's maiden name, or where they were buried (although we have a
pretty good idea). I would love to know more about this family! If you know
anything about them I would apprectiate it enormously!
If you have any of these surnames in your family, I would be glad to get
connected with you and share information. Thank you!

I am a new member and am hoping this group will help me out with my
genelogical research. I have been researching avidly since 2003 and have
extended my family line quite a ways, but there a still a few lines that I
have had trouble on. I will try to give you a quick run down of my family
lines and what I know of them (off of the top my head as I do not have the
information at hand at this moment).
On my father's side I have surnames of Ragsdale, Atkins, Rebman, Sickling,
Mizell, Caldwell, and others I cannot remember off the top of my head. The
Ragsdales I have traced back to Godfrey Ragsdale who came to VA somewhere
between 1620 and 1644 when the story is his whole family (except a baby boy)
were killed in the indian attack of that year. The family went from VA, to
NC (maybe), to TN/KY to IL.
The Sicklings we have traced back to George Sickling and Katheryn Bernstein
(sp?) Who came to the US in the 1850s from Germany, They ended up in
Pulaski/Johnson/Union counties IL but I have not found where they came to
the US for sure.
The Mizells we have had a little bit of problems with. At one time we
believed we had traced the family back to a Luke Mizell/Measle who came to
VA in the 1600s as an indentured servant. Yet there seems to now be a
possibility of another group of Mizells coming to NC about the same time
Lukes family moved there, so we have not figured out for sure which line we
are descended from. This family we have in VA/NC (depending on the

While my job at Motor Trend has provided many excellent experiences of all shapes and sizes — occasionally at the most random and unexpected times — I've never found myself dreaming of spending my weekends at new-tire launch events. But when Pirelli wants to demonstrate its new Cinturato P7 All Season Plus tires, and then tactically throws in access to the invitation-only Circuit of the Americas' First Lap Ceremony, you can't say "Sorry, I was planning to clean the chimney."On Sunday, October 21, 2012, the (then) still-under-construction Circuit of the Americas was broken in — physically and symbolically. None other than the legendary Mario Andretti cut the ribbon. The 1978 Formula 1 champion and American motorsport hero is also COTA's ambassador, and immediately after tossing the shears away, he lapped the road course with an old (machine) friend: the Lotus 79. F1 tech geeks will remember Andretti's championship-winning Lotus 79 as one of the ground-effect generation's best, sprung from a time when it seemed the sport's brightest thinkers were a few crumpled-napkin drawings and late nights away from rewriting the laws of aerodynamics. The Lotus 79's John Player Special black and gold scheme is also a sentimental favorite of the F1 faithful, eliciting the same deference as Scuderia Ferrari's scarlet red or the British racing green of Team Lotus.Andretti's laps in the late-1970s Lotus wasn't the only on-track action. Lotus F1 reserve driver Jerome D'Ambrosio got behind the wheel of a Renault/Lotus R30,but technical issues shut the car down after a handful of exploratory laps. Two F1 three-seat cars had been arranged to shuttle guests around the circuit but only one was operational, leading to hours of standing and waiting. A variety of sports cars also took to the track, including a Corvette Daytona Prototype, Ferrari 458 Challenge, Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, Ford Mustang Boss 302S, and a Miata among them. Fictional surgeon/real-life racer Patrick Dempsey and others gave ride-alongs to VIPs and members of the media.There was speech-giving and a leisurely parade lap during the event, too. But what impressed the motorsport lover in me wasn't the celebrity presence or the gaggle of expensive cars hanging around the pits. My F1 nerd side focused on the enormous paddock and pit area, the soaring 251-foot-tall observation tower, and the demanding 3.4-mile course with fresh tarmac. Having surveyed the 20-turn COTA in Codemasters' entertaining "F1 2012," I can't wait to see how F1 cars tackle the challenging middle sector (the same section that led to my plentiful off-track excursions in the video game).But I wasn't just standing in a racetrack in the southeast clutches of Austin, Texas. I was standing in the hot, humid hope of U.S.-based F1 fans, and the Lone Star State's second stab at hosting the world's most illustrious racing series. Second attempt? Students of F1 history will recall the open-wheel traveling circus' other Texas visit left drivers and viewers steaming.The date was July 8, 1984 — in an election year too, as chance would have it. F1's first turbo era was in full swing when the Dallas Grand Prix rolled into town some 200 miles north of the Texas capital. Like the impending 2012 U.S. Grand Prix (November 18), it was scheduled near a national holiday.The Dallas GP can be remembered for three reasons:1) Winning driver Keke Rosberg of the Williams F1 team got to wear a Stetson hat on the podium.2) It was one of the hottest F1 races ever run.3) The temporary street circuit's surface quickly deteriorated during the race weekend, and was hastily repaved on race morning before falling apart again (see reason 2) as the 67-lap contest progressed.With the air temperature above 100 degrees Fahrenheit and track temperature significantly higher, drivers, cars, and the crowd in the stands were tested. Only two cars finished the GP on the lead lap (Ferrari's Rene Arnoux trailed Rosberg, after scything his way from last on the starting grid to second), and just eight of the 26 entries were classified at race's end. The average speed on the tight Fair Park course was 80.283 mph. Considering COTA's design and how far 21st-century F1 cars have come since '84, the average speed during this year's U.S. GP will unquestionably blow Dallas' 80.283 mph out of the water.There are interesting Pirelli-related side notes from that scorching day in Dallas. The Italian tire maker was in the fourth year of its 1980s F1 comeback, and its rubber was used on fifth-place Piercarlo Ghinzani's Osella FA1F and eighth-place Manfred Winkelhock's ATS D7. Pirelli is F1's spec tire supplier for today's Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton, but it essentially supplied backmarkers in 1984. (Spirit Racing and Skoal Bandit RAM were other recipients.) There's probably a big asterisk for Toleman in the Pirelli logs. The small team used Pirellis in the first three races of 1984, but switched to Michelins for the rest of the year (Dallas was the season's ninth race). Toleman's main driver was Ayrton Senna, an F1 rookie at the time.I wasn't in Dallas in 1984. But after attending COTA's First Lap Ceremony and reading up on the old GP, there's no doubt in my mind that the new Texas race will be in substantially better shape on race day. And cooler, hopefully.As for those new Pirelli tires, early in the morning before the First Lap Ceremony, there was a product presentation and brief drive demo (not on COTA, unfortunately) for the Cinturato P7 All Season Plus. Tire upgrades include a claimed 15 percent less rolling resistance than previous-generation P7 All Seasons, contributing to a 2 to 3 percent reduction in fuel consumption, according to Pirelli. It's also easier-wearing (supposedly a remarkable 47 percent longer treadwear), thanks to its optimized mold profile/tread pattern; more environmentally friendly because it carries, comparatively, 6 percent less weight per tire; and produces less tire noise.Before I flew to Austin, I spent a few days with the Audi Allroad and BMW X1, both fitted from the factory with non-Plus Cinturato P7 All Seasons. Neither soft-roader was a part of the Pirelli program, but I'd be lying if I said I could tell any differences between the two rubber models during my short evaluation in Texas. Both tires are fairly quiet early in their lifecycles (you need a lot more miles in order to gauge the noise versus wear relationship), and have reasonable and predictable handling traits. The leap in quality from the Dallas Grand Prix to the Austin race will be noticeably massive, because there's a long-term vision and outlook for the Circuit of the Americas.The Cinturato P7 All Season Plus' incremental improvements aren't as flashy in comparison, but, in the long run, are a Texas-sized achievement in its own right.See you again soon, COTA.

Discovery may revolutionize new drug discoveries, disease research
Research from York University's Lassonde School of Engineering, has found a new set of algorithms that can help determine the 3D structure of proteins to one day find new treatments for a range of diseases including Alzheimer's, HIV and cancer. The research, published in the current edition of the journal Nature Methods, shows that these new algorithms rapidly generate 3-D structures of viruses, which could revolutionize the development of new drug therapies.
One of the lead researchers on the project, Assistant Professor Marcus Brubaker, at the Lassonde School of Engineering, says that cryo-EM, had previously been a computationally demanding task.
"Collecting data on an electron microscope might take a few hours or maybe a day or two," says Brubaker. "However, processing that data to determine the 3D structure would require weeks or even months of computation time on large, expensive computer clusters. Our work now makes this possible in a few hours on a relatively inexpensive desktop computer."
Brubaker adds, the dramatic change in processing times not only speeds up the existing process, but will also enable experts to dig even deeper into their data to discover new biology that wouldn't have been practical before.
