Greg Maddux (6-10, 4.25) vs. Tim Redding (8-8, 4.54).
COMMENTS: Is there even a point in discussing these pitchers? Just yesterday we were talking about sweeping the Nationals. Today we're wondering if the Dodgers will be the ones getting swept. By the worst team in the Majors. Yesterday's game seemed so snake-bitten it made you wonder if things can possibly get any worse for the Dodgers. Can they? Check back this evening.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — When you've got the smallest marketing budget of the Detroit Three automakers, you have to take risks to get your TV spots noticed.
That's why Olivier Francois, Chrysler's marketing chief, gambles a lot. He's following successful ads featuring rapper Eminem and movie star Clint Eastwood with a pitch from a fictitious character — egotistical airhead television anchorman Ron Burgundy from the 2004 movie "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy."
And this time, Francois got the talent to pitch a refurbished version of the Dodge Durango SUV for free. Paramount Pictures, he said, bartered work on the commercials by Will Farrell, who plays Burgundy, in exchange for the promotion in the ads of an "Anchorman" sequel that is due out in December.
"We can't compete on the money," said Francois, a Frenchman behind the gritty 2011 Super Bowl image ad for Chrysler with Eminem in his hometown of Detroit, and the follow-up spot featuring Eastwood talking about America making a comeback.
Chrysler is by far the smallest of the Detroit car companies and has the lowest advertising budget. Last year, it spent $1.9 billion in the U.S., about 40 percent less than rival General Motors' $3.1 billion, and almost 20 percent below Ford Motor Co.'s $2.3 billion. GM was the second-largest advertiser in the nation, while Ford ranked sixth and Chrysler No. 11, according the trade publication Advertising Age, which uses figures from Kantar Media to estimate spending and rank the top 100 advertisers.
So in order for Chrysler to compete, it has be creative to multiply the impact of its ads, Francois said at an event Monday at Chrysler's headquarters held to formally unveil the ads.
Farrell, Francois said, was given a free hand to write and produce the ads. Initially he was supposed to make three to six television commercials, but ended up with 70, all featuring Farrell in a 1970s burgundy suit. Most of the ads talk about the SUV's gas mileage, power and infotainment technology. Some are funny, such as when Farrell, playing an incredulous Burgundy, talks back to the navigation system, or when he thinks "mpg" is a word instead of an abbreviation for miles per gallon.
Some of the ads even have sexual innuendo, but those aren't scheduled to make television or the Chrysler Internet sites.
Francois had never heard of Burgundy, a 1970s TV anchorman in San Diego, or the first "Anchorman" movie. But he was amazed that everyone in a brainstorming session could recite lines from the movie.
"He's probably the closest fictional character to a real character," Francois said.
The campaign, scheduled to appear on TV until the sequel "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" makes its debut around Christmas, is risky. It could alienate those who didn't see the first movie or those who didn't like it.
That's a chance that Chrysler is willing to take, to deviate from the standard auto industry ad featuring a car or truck rolling down a highway and a strange voice telling people about the product.
"If I run an ad with running footage and a couple of stats, it would just get lost," said Tim Kuniskis, CEO of the Dodge brand. "Now I can run an ad with Will Farrell and immediately everyone is going to pay attention, look, notice."

REFMAR Tidal data on http://data.shom.fr
To meet the expectations of our 850 users, we are changing the way we disseminate REFMAR tide gauge data. Whether you are a decision maker, politician, engineer, researcher or private individual, whether you work for the central government, local government, or a design or technical agency, you need to access, view and download sea level observations. With data.shom.fr, you can find water level measurements from our REFMAR partners in accordance with the INSPIRE Directive and the online open data policy managed by Etalab under the authority of the French Prime Minister.
Why disseminate REFMAR tide gauge data on data.shom.fr?
SHOM's mission is to "understand and describe the physical marine environment in its relationship with the atmosphere, the seabed and littoral zones", and "forecast changes and disseminate the corresponding information".
The marine and coastal geographic information portal data.shom.fr gives a large community of users (central government, local authorities, researchers, businesses) access to SHOM reference data on the physical marine, coastal and ocean environment. The website also allows users to search, view, and access geolocalized SHOM data.
The portal covers the following topics: bathymetry, cartography, tide, tidal currents, general hydrography and now also sea level observations. New data will progressively be aggregated to embrace all the themes covered by SHOM's mission. The portal will also be updated to provide increasingly sophisticated data use.

Hydrodynamic models
Calibration, validation and data assimilation for hydrodynamic models of tide propagation along the coast and on the continental shelf require quality tide measurements to define the boundary conditions of the models. For open boundary conditions at sea, there is the problem of obtaining sea level measurements in areas several hundred metres deep.
Applications of hydrodynamic and hydrosedimentary models
Hydrodynamic and hydrosedimentary models subject to the tides regime meet multiple needs:
- sea levels (tides, storm surges), currents and waves, applications to coastal flooding risks for hydrodynamic models;
- sediment transport (bedload and suspension) and morphodynamic transport for hydrosedimentary models or coastal hazards.
How hydrodynamic modelling works
Numerical modelling consists of solving the hydrodynamic equations directly in the tidal wave propagation zone. In theory, it is used to calculate the tide at any point in the zone.
It involves dividing the zone into elements of simple geometry, called grid cells, and applying the following principles:
- the principle of conservation, wherein the variation of water level in a grid cell results from the difference between the amount of water entering the cell and the amount of water exiting from the sides. This difference depends exclusively on the current running through the grid;
- the principle of dynamics, wherein the variation of flow velocity in a grid cell depends on external forces acting on the column of water contained in the cell. There are three types of forces:
- pressure forces due to differences in water level in the surrounding grid cells;
- Coriolis force due to the rotation of the Earth which in the northern hemisphere, tends to bend the direction of the current to the right;
- braking force similar to friction, which is exerted near the bottom and sides of the grid cells.
The variations in water levels and velocity in a grid cell depends on water levels and currents in the neighbouring grid cells. All grid cells are interdependent and the problem of the variation of water levels and currents must be resolved globally throughout the area studied.
The tide: the driving force behind hydrographic movements
Movements can only exist if there is a driving force. Here this driving force is constituted by the tide at the open boundaries of the model, which are not composed of a coastline. This forced movement propagates from cell to cell across the entire zone.
Effect of bathymetric data
The calculations are performed at regular "time step" intervals from a situation at rest. The results are usable only after a stabilization period corresponding in practice to two or three tidal cycles.
In practice, the grid cells are squares, rectangles or triangles (finite elements). The choice of the cell size is key: the smaller they are, the better the accuracy. However, the smaller the cells, the more cells there are for a given area.
Moreover, the time step is not independent of the grid cell size: too large a time step can generate numerical instability. As a result, a smaller grid size significantly increases the computation time, and cell size is therefore chosen so that computation time remains reasonable.
Another major limitation is the knowledge of depths. It is pointless to try to refine the resolution of a model if the environment is not described at an equivalent level. From this point of view, nautical charts cannot provide suitable bathymetric data for hydrodynamic modelling. because they are generated by soundings whose primary function is to identify elements affecting the safety of navigation. Information density is often sacrificed to enhance chart readability and the terrain that may pose a danger is highlighted, which can distort the objective representation of the seabed.
Validation with the hydrodynamic models developed by SHOM
Since 2009, SHOM has developed five three-dimensional models (at different spatial scales) in the English Channel and Atlantic to meet new needs. These numerical models were developed using TELEMAC-2D and TELEMAC-3D code developed by the Laboratoire d'Hydraulique et d'Environnement (EDF).
The models describe the tidal currents in a marine area with relatively fine spatial resolution (100 km at sea, a few tens of meters near the coast).
The models are validated by comparing the simulation results with water depths predicted from sea level observations.
To qualify the models, comparisons are made between:
- water levels by calculating the differences in amplitude (for high tide) between water levels predicted at different measurement points and levels extrapolated from the model at these same points;
- mean phase differences in time between theoretical phases of high tide and low tide and observed phases of high tide and low tide.
The table summarizes the results obtained for the 3D models and illustrates the advantages compared to previous 2D models.
Model | Validation point | Amplitude deviation (cm) | Standard deviation (cm) | Low tide phase difference (minutes) | High tide phase difference (minutes) |
Brest Roadstead 3D | 13 | 4.7 | 2.4 | 9(σ=6) | 3(σ=2) |
English Channel 2D (1999) | 172 | 15.3 | 12.3 | 13(σ=13) | 11(σ=10) |
English Channel 3D | 190 | 9.1 | 7.1 | 8(σ=12) | 8(σ=7) |
Seine Bay 3D | 25 | 7.6 | 7.1 | 5(σ=3) | 6(σ=4) |
Somme - Pas de Calais Bay 3D | 28 | 6.4 | 4.1 | 4(σ=3) | 8(σ=6) |
Iroise Sea 3D | 39 | 3.6 | 3.1 | | 5(σ=2) |
Advantages of of 3D hydrodynamic models compared to 2D
Improvements to numerical models and the transition from 2D to 3D results in better predictions (better accuracy of results) due to:
- better spatial resolution near the coast and at harbour accesses;
- better consideration of important processes (bathymetry, bottom friction, turbulence);
- better understanding of the areas studied (more in situ measurements);
- better representation of shear;
- improved performance of the TELEMAC code since the late 90s

Even though I have my pride – I'm a Scorpio, after all – I will admit it when I'm wrong and apologize.
After telling you that I wasn't in the mood for Mr. Benjamin Button, I changed my mind and decided to watch it – with a little push from my good friend C. I'm so glad I did - what a beautiful movie. It touched my heart like very few have. David Fincher really gets the best out of Brad Pitt, every time.
Something similar happened here. I wasn't so sure savory madeleines would work. So I kept postponing making them. And now, a year after bookmarking the recipe, I finally tried it. And it's good. I was wrong.
My only thought here is that both flavor and texture are much better when the madeleines are hot/warm. But let me know if you disagree.
Basil and parmesan madeleines
8 tablespoons (113g/1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup (140g) cake flour – I used all purpose flour
3 teaspoons finely minced fresh basil
1 teaspoon fleur de sel, plus more for sprinkling
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 eggs
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for sprinkling
Position a rack in the lower third of an oven and preheat to 190ºC/375ºF (I preferred to bake them in the higher part of the oven so they would not burn).
Brush the molds of two 12-well madeleine pans with 2 tablespoons of the butter and dust with all-purpose flour; tap out the excess.
Sift the cake flour into a bowl and gently stir in the basil, the 1 teaspoon fleur de sel and the pepper. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs on high speed until yellow and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the cream of tartar and sugar and beat until the mixture drops from the whisk in ribbons, about 3 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the flour mixture and the 1 cup cheese, then fold in the remaining 6 tablespoons butter*.
Spoon the batter into the prepared molds so the batter is even with the rims. Bake until the madeleines spring back when pressed lightly, about 12 minutes. Immediately remove them from the pan and let cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle with a pinch of fleur de sel and cheese and serve.
* the recipe doesn't call for it, but I refrigerated the batter overnight
Makes 18 madeleines – I halved the recipe and got 15 madeleines (I used a 15-well pan and each well holds 1 tablespoon batter)

Acting Out Emotions Versus Acting On Emotions
Radio Q&A: 15 July 2012, Question 3
I answered a question on acting out emotions versus acting on emotions on 15 July 2012. You can listen to or download the podcast of just this question below – or check out the whole episode of Philosophy in Action Radio.
What's the difference between acting on emotions and acting out emotions? Emotions sometimes cry out for bodily expression, such as hitting something when you're angry. Is "acting out emotions" in that way a form of emotionalism? How is it different, if at all, from acting on emotions?
My Answer, In Brief: Emotions often require some form of bodily expression, but a person should use his reason to judge what's appropriate, rather than simply indulging emotions without thought.

Why Sane Bargaining Looks Strange
President Obama's victory blew up the framework created by the 2010 elections, which forced him to play defense. Now, he finally has room to move. That's the only way to understand the ongoing budget talks.WASHINGTON — An entirely new political narrative is taking shape before our eyes, yet many here are still stuck in the old one.
President Obama's victory blew up the framework created by the 2010 elections, which forced him to play defense. Now, he finally has room to move. That's the only way to understand the ongoing budget talks.
This has several implications. First, why was anyone surprised that Obama's initial offer to the Republicans was a compendium of what he'd actually prefer? We became so accustomed to Obama's earlier habit of making pre-emptive concessions that the very idea he'd negotiate in a perfectly normal way amazed much of Washington. Rule No. 1 is that you shouldn't start bargaining by giving stuff away when the other side has not even made concrete demands.
Second, Obama made clear that he will not allow the fiscal calendar to set his priorities. Past actions by Congress established this wacky set of deadlines requiring frenzied decision-making. This does not mean the deficit is the nation's highest priority. It isn't. Speeding up economic growth is the most important thing now.
Thus did Obama's opening proposal call for measures to boost the recovery, including an infrastructure bank, a public-private partnership that ought to appeal to Republicans. And he was right to insist upon an extension of unemployment insurance and another year of the payroll tax holiday or some equivalent way to keep middle-class purchasing power up. Raising taxes on the wealthy won't damage the economy. A sudden drop in the take-home pay of the vast majority of American consumers would.
Third, House Republicans have, so far, been unwilling to assume any risk to get what they claim to want. They seem to hope a deal will be born by way of immaculate conception, with Obama taking ownership of all the hard stuff while they innocently look on.
Obama went that route in 2011 when he feared that Republicans would bring down the nation's economic house by failing to pass an increase in the debt ceiling. This time, he doesn't face that risk.
If we go past the so-called fiscal cliff deadlines and all the resulting budget cuts and tax increases come into force, the administration can minimize the damage. It can delay the implementation of new tax tables so billions of dollars are not suddenly sucked out of the economy. There is no law requiring that budget cuts be implemented upfront or spread equally across the year. Obama can publicly announce he is delaying any cuts, on the theory that Congress will eventually vitiate some of them. And he can make sure the bond markets know of his plans well in advance.
This is not pretty, and it's not ideal. But the only way to keep the next four years from becoming another long exercise in gridlock and obstruction is for Obama to hang tough now. And he has every right to.
Republicans claim they are fighting for cuts in entitlement programs, particularly Medicare. Fine. Let them put their cuts on the table. So far, all we have are words. Obama has outlined $400 billion in savings from Medicare. If this isn't enough, the GOP's negotiators should tell us why, and how to find more.
Republicans also say tax reform can raise enough money so we can avoid rate increases on the wealthy. Fine. Let them put forward a comprehensive plan so we can judge it. Their problem is that tax reform can't produce the revenue that's needed, but let's at least see what they have in mind.
Obama is criticized for making life difficult for House Speaker John Boehner who has to bring around a rather right-wing caucus. Sorry, but demanding this sort of solicitude doesn't fly anymore. Boehner rather brilliantly used the "I have to deal with this crazy uncle in the attic" gambit to extract a lot of concessions in 2011. Republicans walked away from the great deal Boehner won for them. The intervening election means they won't get a similar gift this time. Obama has to win something for his own progressive supporters who rightly feel empowered by November's results. Two can play the crazy uncle game.
So a normal negotiation looks strange only because the last two years have been so utterly abnormal, driven by tea party extremism and an irrational hostility to Obama, a fundamentally moderate man who has already shown a willingness to offer more than his share of concessions. Boehner knows this, which is why everyone (especially Wall Street) should calm down.

The City of Garland Storm Drain Inlet Marker Project utilizes volunteer groups to place markers on the storm drain inlets in the city. This project is designed to increase awareness of indiscriminate dumping into storm drains. Federal regulations require that the City of Garland reduce the number of pollutants that enter into a storm drain. This marker project is an effort to do so.
Show All Answers
Volunteers mark an area that is agreed upon by the coordinator of this project and the group. Markers, adhesive, wire brushes and orange safety vests will be issued. For safety reasons, the City's Street department will mark inlets located on roads with heavy traffic.
The majority of the general public does not realize that the storm drain system is a separate system from the wastewater system that handles household by-products. Unlike the wastewater system, storm drains carry everything that enters them to the nearest water source.
Anything put into the drain will end up in a nearby water body. Furthermore, city ordinances restrict any person from intentionally placing items into storm drains. Storm drain markers help increase this awareness, and combat this problem.
For more information on this project, call Paula Breysacher at 972-205-2191 or email Paula Breysacher. Thanks for your interest in this project!

Chocolate Soup
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...If you are looking for something out of the ordinary to intrigue your guests try a dessert soup. This one's a cross between a thick, rich hot chocolate and pudding. It's a lovely way to end a special meal or surprise the book club. The recipe comes from Cuisine At Home and it has much to recommend it, not the least of which is ease of preparation. It can be topped with an optional fruit salsa or whipped cream. The "soup" can be made well ahead of serving time, but the "salsa" should be prepared just before serving to keep it fresh and crisp. Here's the recipe.
Chocolate Soup...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
4 cups whole milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
1 bag Ghirardelli bittersweet choc chips (11 1/2 oz)
1/4 cup Kahlua or other coffee-flavored liqueur, optional
1/2 tsp salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon espresso powder, optional
.Optional Fruit Salsa
1/2 cup strawberries, diced
1/2 cup fresh pineapple, diced
1/2 cup kiwi, diced
1 teaspoon sugar
Whipped cream
1) Combine whole milk, condensed milk, choc chips, liqueur, and salt in a saucepan.
2) Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to low and cook, whisking ofter, until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth, 20-25 minutes (as the chocolate melts, it may look a little grainy but don't worry-it will smooth out, but whisk it often as it heats). Remove soup from heat.
3) Whisk vanilla and espresso powder together in a small bowl until dissolved; stir into the "soup."
4) If using salsa, toss strawberries, pineapple, kiwi and sugar together in a bowl
5) Serve soup warm and top with "salsa" and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
Cook's Note: You can make the "soup" ahead and reheat (over LOW heat) but make the "salsa " right before serving so it is fresh.

Class Central Tips
One way or another, all employees are managed. But approaches to managing employees varying from employee-to-employee, job-to-job, manager-to-manager, organization-to-organization, and country-to-country. This course provides a foundation for developing your own approach to skillfully managing employees by illustrating alternative human resource management (HRM) strategies, introducing the importance of the legal context, and thinking about what motivates employees. This will then give you the factual and conceptual basis for developing specific, critical HRM skills in subsequent courses on hiring employees, managing performance, and rewarding employees. Don't know anything about HRM? That's OK! Leave this course with a new-found understanding of the range of options available for managing employees, a grasp of what makes workers tick, and the readiness to develop your own HRM skills.

Kindergarten Teacher Fired for Letting Students Taste Her Blood
It wasn't your run-of-the-mill show and tell.
A kindergarten teacher from the Norwegian town of Sola has been fired because she let kids touch and taste her blood that she brought to school.
The woman had brought in a blood sample taken earlier in the day and poured it out onto a plate for kids.
Children, being children, asked if they could touch it, so the teacher gave them the go-ahead, according to one school official
The children asked if they could touch it and she allowed them. Then they asked 'how do we get it off?' so she put her finger in her mouth and the children followed suit.
The teacher has been tested for AIDS and hepatitis B, although results have not yet come back.
Something tells us a teacher with these kind of vampire tendencies may want to consider taking a position in night school.

Generic name: ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel (extended-cycle) [ ETH-in-ill-ess-tra-DYE-ol-and-lee-voe-nor-JESS-trel ]
Drug class: Contraceptives
What is LoSeasonique?
LoSeasonique is a combination drug that contains female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). This medication also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.
LoSeasonique is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy.
LoSeasonique may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Do not use LoSeasonique if you are pregnant or if you have recently had a baby.
You should not take LoSeasonique if you have any of the following conditions: uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease, a blood-clotting disorder, circulation problems, diabetic problems with your eyes or kidneys, unusual vaginal bleeding, liver disease or liver cancer, severe migraine headaches, if you smoke and are over 35, or if you have ever had breast or uterine cancer, jaundice caused by birth control pills, a heart attack, a stroke, or a blood clot.
Taking LoSeasonique can increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack, especially if you have certain other conditions, or if you are overweight.
Smoking can greatly increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack. You should not take this medicine if you smoke and are over 35 years old.
Missing a pill increases your risk of becoming pregnant. Carefully follow the "missed dose" instructions if you forget to take your LoSeasonique tablets.
Some drugs can make LoSeasonique less effective in preventing pregnancy, including antibiotics, hepatitis C medications, HIV/AIDS medications, seizure medications, or barbiturate sedatives. Tell your doctor about all other medications you use.
Before taking this medicine
Taking LoSeasonique can increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack. You are even more at risk if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or if you are overweight. Your risk of stroke or blood clot is highest during your first year of taking LoSeasonique. Your risk is also high when you restart this medicine after not taking it for 4 weeks or longer.
Smoking can greatly increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack. Your risk increases the older you are and the more you smoke. You should not take this medicine if you smoke and are over 35 years old.
Do not use if you are pregnant. Stop using this medicine and tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant, or if you miss two menstrual periods in a row. If you have recently had a baby, wait at least 4 weeks before taking LoSeasonique.
You should not take LoSeasonique if you have:
untreated or uncontrolled high blood pressure;
heart disease (coronary artery disease, uncontrolled heart valve disorder, history of heart attack, stroke, or blood clot);
a blood-clotting disorder or circulation problems;
problems with your eyes, kidneys or circulation caused by diabetes;
a history of hormone-related cancer such as breast or uterine cancer;
unusual vaginal bleeding that has not been checked by a doctor;
liver disease or liver cancer;
severe migraine headaches (with aura, numbness, weakness, or vision changes), especially if you are older than 35;
a history of jaundice caused by pregnancy or birth control pills; or
if you smoke and are over 35 years old.
To make sure LoSeasonique are safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had:
heart disease, high blood pressure, or if you are prone to having blood clots;
high cholesterol or triglycerides, or if you are overweight;
diabetes, underactive thyroid, gallbladder disease;
a seizure or migraine headache;
irregular menstrual cycles; or
fibrocystic breast disease, lumps, nodules, or an abnormal mammogram.
The hormones in LoSeasonique can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. This medication may also slow breast milk production. Do not use if you are breast feeding a baby.

How should I take LoSeasonique?
Take LoSeasonique exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
You will take your first pill on the first day of your period or on the first Sunday after your period begins. You may need to use back-up birth control, such as condoms or a spermicide, when you first start using this medication. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Take one pill every day, no more than 24 hours apart. When the pills run out, start a new pack the following day. You may get pregnant if you do not take one pill daily. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of pills completely.
You will not have a menstrual period every month while you are taking an extended-cycle birth control pill. Instead, your period should occur every 12 weeks.
The 91-day LoSeasonique pack contains three trays with cards that hold 84 "active" pills and seven "reminder" pills. You must use the pills in a certain order to keep you on a regular cycle. Trays 1 and 2 each hold 28 pills. Tray 3 holds 35 pills, including the 7 reminder pills. Your period should begin while you are using these reminder pills.
You may have breakthrough bleeding, especially during the first 3 months. Tell your doctor if this bleeding continues or is very heavy.
Use a back-up birth control if you are sick with severe vomiting or diarrhea.
If you need surgery or medical tests or if you will be on bed rest, you may need to stop using this medication for a short time. Any doctor or surgeon who treats you should know that you are using LoSeasonique.
While taking LoSeasonique, you will need to visit your doctor regularly.
Store LoSeasonique at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Missing a LoSeasonique pill increases your risk of becoming pregnant.
If you miss one "active" pill, take two pills on the day that you remember. Then take one pill per day for the rest of the pack.
If you miss two "active" pills in a row, take two pills per day for two days in a row. Then take one pill per day for the rest of the pack. Use back-up birth control for at least 7 days following the missed pills.
If you miss three "active" pills in a row, do not take the missed pills. Continue taking 1 pill per day on schedule according to the pill package and leave the missed pills in the package. You may have some bleeding or spotting if you miss three pills in a row. Use back-up birth control for at least the next 7 days.
If you miss any reminder pills, throw them away and keep taking one pill per day until the pack is empty. You do not need back-up birth control if you miss a reminder pill. If your period does not start while you are taking the reminder pills, call your doctor because you might be pregnant.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. Overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, and vaginal bleeding.
What to avoid
Do not smoke while taking LoSeasonique, especially if you are older than 35 years of age.
LoSeasonique will not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases--including HIV and AIDS. Using a condom is the only way to protect yourself from these diseases.
LoSeasonique side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction to LoSeasonique: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using LoSeasonique and call your doctor at once if you have:
sudden numbness or weakness (especially on one side of the body), sudden severe headache, slurred speech, problems with vision or balance;
sudden cough, wheezing, rapid breathing, coughing up blood;

What other drugs will affect LoSeasonique?
Some drugs can make LoSeasonique less effective, which may result in pregnancy.

Oxana and Pavel Rucsineanu fell in love under the drug-induced haze of powerful tuberculosis medications. It was the summer of 2008. They were both in their late 20s, and they should have been in the prime of their lives.
But instead, Oxana and Pavel had a version of TB that is resistant to most drugs. They were living in a crumbling hospital in the Moldovan city of Balti. The TB ward was a version of hell for Oxana. The air was hot and sticky. Neither of them wanted to be there.
"For how long," Oxana asks, "can you stay and swallow these pills, watching the walls and doing nothing?"
The treatment for drug-resistant TB takes a minimum of 18 months, but it can last for years. Boredom eats away at you, patients say, the same way the TB bacteria eat away at your lungs — slowly, day after day.
Oxana says the tedium on the ward drives TB patients crazy. "There are drunk problems there. People are having fights," she says. "This is again because they are not doing anything. It's terrible." The two-dozen pills she was taking made her nauseous, she says. The medicines fogged her brain and sent her "into the cosmos."
TB is on the decline globally, but drug-resistant, hard-to-treat forms of the disease continue to hold a tenacious grip, particularly in countries of the former Soviet Union, like Moldova.
Pavel says he first met Oxana when he came into her dormitory to fix a faulty telephone jack. But Oxana remembers it differently. She says they first met in the common area of the ward, where they commiserated about the terrible side effects of the TB medications.
However it first happened, Oxana says what was important was the connection the two found with each other.
"It really helps when you find someone who has your same problems, who understand all your thoughts, who understand all your fears," she says. "All the people live in fear while having TB because it's really difficult." Once on medications, people have about a 50 percent chance of surviving MDR-TB, according to the World Health Organization.
Oxana and Pavel were still in treatment when they decided to marry in 2009. Their doctors gave them permission to have a small open-air wedding in a park — despite the fact that active TB infections spread through the air.
Oxana was cured in 2010. Pavel, however, is still sick, and his doctors say his form of the disease has evolved to be incurable. Pavel has extremely drug-resistant TB, or XDR-TB, a version of the infection that has become a growing problem around the world, particularly in India, Eastern Europe and Southern Africa. Pavel's doctor, Tetru Alexandriuc, refers to XDR-TB as an "infectious cancer."
Earlier this year, Oxana gave birth to their first child, David. But Pavel remains ill, and can't live at home with his new baby.
Instead, he stays in room No. 5 on the third floor of a drab, Soviet-era TB hospital on the edge of Balti. There's one toilet on his ward that's shared by 40 men. The showers are being renovated and haven't worked for months. Pavel goes to Oxana's flat once a week to bathe.
When he visits Oxana and their baby, Pavel wears a pale blue surgical mask to try to protect them.
Oxana says she won't accept that Pavel's case is hopeless. "He is planning to get cured," she says. Then she corrects herself, "We are planning to get cured, even if there are cases where they're saying there is no use of swallowing the drugs because there is no cure."
Oxana has the slightly weary appearance of a sleep-deprived new mother. As she rocks David, she says TB has dominated her life for five years. "Sometimes we are talking to TB and trying to convince it to just leave us," she says, "because we deserve a second chance."
Even now, although Oxana has rid herself of the disease, TB keeps her husband away. She says she feels at times like a single mother. But, she adds, "We are not giving up. We have a good reason to move on." She nods toward her baby. "This is David."
Even Pavel's doctor, Alexandriuc, says the baby is a new force in Pavel's treatment. The baby has strengthened the father's will to live, the physician says, and that commitment could prolong Pavel's life.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Audie Cornish.
Tuberculosis is the second most deadly infectious disease in the world after HIV. It claims more than a million lives each year, mostly in Africa and Asia. But TB is also on the rise in Eastern Europe. A particular concern are new strains that are nearly untreatable with drugs available there.
Over the coming days and weeks, we'll be looking more closely at tuberculosis around the world. Today, NPR's Jason Beaubien has the story of one couple's struggle in the former Soviet republic of Moldova.
JASON BEAUBIEN, BYLINE: In 2008, Oxana and Pavel Rucsineanu were both in their late 20s. They should have been in the prime of their lives, but instead they were patients on the tuberculosis ward in the Moldovan city of Balti.
OXANA RUCSINEANU: We met in the hospital. And we are not the only couple that have been created there.
BEAUBIEN: It was the middle of summer. Oxana remembers that the air on the ward was hot and sticky. They both had drug-resistant TB and were taking two dozen pills a day. The pills made Oxana nauseous, fogged her brain and, in her words, would send her into the cosmos. Oxana says she and Pavel had long talks commiserating about the intense side effects of the medicine.
RUCSINEANU: It really helps when you find someone who has the same problems, who understand all your thoughts, who understand all your fears because all the people live in fear while having TB because it's really difficult.
BEAUBIEN: The treatment for drug-resistant TB lasts for 18 months, two years, sometimes even longer. For Oxana, her time on the TB ward was a version of hell.
RUCSINEANU: For how long you may stay just - and swallow these pills and watching the walls and doing nothing.
BEAUBIEN: And she says the ward at times was chaotic.
RUCSINEANU: That's why there are drunk problems there. People are having fights. Different - this is, again, because they are not doing anything. It's terrible.
BEAUBIEN: Pavel and Oxana were desperate to escape this world. So in 2009, they decided to get married. With permission from their doctors, they had a small open-air wedding in a park. Oxana finished her treatment a year later. She now lives in a grey, concrete, Soviet-era apartment block. Pavel is still sick and shares a room with four other men at the TB hospital. In December, Oxana gave birth to their first child, David.
RUCSINEANU: We just yesterday baptized him. Yeah, baptized him.
BEAUBIEN: The TB hospital in Balti where Pavel and Oxana fell in love is divided between two buildings, both of which are in need of repair. Pavel now lives in room number five on the third floor of the more modern building: a drab, boxy, Soviet-era hospital.
ANDREI: (Foreign language spoken)
BEAUBIEN: It's lunch time and Pavel's roommate Andrei offers to pick up his porridge and juice. A nurse comes in to give one of the men his daily medications, but much to her chagrin, she discovers the man has been missing for several days. A carpet is draped over the windows to block the icy gusts of wind that push through the window frames.
PAVEL RUCSINEANU: (Foreign language spoken)
RUCSINEANU: Oxana seems unfazed by the gaunt men in the room or the bacteria that may or may not be floating through the air. She translates for Pavel, who says that day after day there's nothing to do here.
RUCSINEANU: No, no. And this is my Kindle, and bibliotheca.
RUCSINEANU: This Kindle is my library. No libraries. Nothing.
BEAUBIEN: Pavel is reading a book by Russian novelist Valentin Pikul. He says the Kindle saves him from going insane with boredom. Asked what it's like to live for years on the TB ward, Pavel sighs and gives a one-word response.
RUCSINEANU: (Foreign language spoken)
RUCSINEANU: It's a tragedy to be here.
BEAUBIEN: Why? Have him explain why.
RUCSINEANU: (Foreign language spoken)
RUCSINEANU: (Foreign language spoken)
RUCSINEANU: Because you are apart from your family and you are apart from society.
BEAUBIEN: After lunch, the nurse brings Pavel his medicine. She pours 14 pills into his palm. Pavel swallows the fistful of drugs in one gulp and washes them down with a mug of water.
BEAUBIEN: At other times of the day, he'll take 12 more tablets, and on some days, he also gets two injections. Pavel picked up TB in prison in 2004 while he was serving a two-year sentence for what he only wants to refer to as his mistake. By the time he got out, his TB had already become drug-resistant.
The nurses on his floor now speak highly of him. They say he takes his treatment seriously. He's helpful on the ward, repairing electronics, offering encouragement to the other men. One nurse says she wishes all her patients were like Pavel.
DR. TETRU ALEXANDRIUC: (Foreign language spoken)
BEAUBIEN: His doctor, however, Tetru Alexandriuc, says Pavel's TB has become basically untreatable.
ALEXANDRIUC: (Through translator) Our patient Pavel, because he interrupted his treatment several times, he came to have a very serious form of tuberculosis. As one of the scientists who studied TB said, this is a kind of infectious cancer. We can say it's an incurable form of tuberculosis because we have no other medicines.
BEAUBIEN: Dr. Alexandriuc says they've stabilized Pavel, but he's still very sick. He's still infectious. And with the medicines currently available in Moldova, there's little hope of him overcoming TB. What's happened to Pavel's TB is similar to what's happened to tuberculosis around the globe.
Over time, the bacterium has shifted. It's adapted to survive. It's become resistant to one drug after another. The difference between Pavel and TB is that the bacteria keep getting stronger. The options for Pavel keep shrinking.
RUCSINEANU: Yes?
BEAUBIEN: On a weekday at noon, Oxana is home alone with their baby. David just turned 3 months old. He's round and soft and one of his ears sticks out, which Oxana finds incredibly cute. Oxana won't accept that Pavel's case is hopeless.
RUCSINEANU: He is planning to get cured. We are planning because you cannot imagine (unintelligible). We are hoping even if there are cases that where saying directly that there is no use of drinking, swallowing the drugs because there is no cure.
BEAUBIEN: Oxana has the slightly weary appearance of a sleep-deprived new mother. As she rocks her baby, she says TB has dominated her life for the last half a decade. Even now after she herself is cured of it, the disease is keeping her husband away. She says she feels at times like a single mother.
RUCSINEANU: Sometimes I do while being outside when I see couples and two babies. But we'll be OK. We are not giving up. We have a good reason to move on, and this is David.
BEAUBIEN: Even Pavel's doctor says David is a new force in Pavel's treatment. Dr. Alexandriuc says the baby has strengthened Pavel's will to live, and this could prolong his life. But prolong it for how long is unclear. Jason Beaubien, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Ah, the stage. You have bemused me for years. I've trodden your polished beams as a chorister, musician, knife-grinder, barbershop singer, inappropriately and racially insensitively cast postal worker, Achilles (or the Tortoise), a Greek messenger in Nike shoes, soloist, accompanist, graduate.
I envy Erin her future opportunities to walk across the stage. Those moments, at the focus, are powerful and beguiling. They are life, writ small and in blood. They are fantasy, writ large and in tears.
They are comedy, and tragedy.
Emily is hilarious. And whenever she tells an insanely funny joke she'll remark "That's going in the stand-up act." And because I am her soul-mate and her complement, I feel it only right that I give equal voice to my own stand-up act.
You see, I hope to someday be a Stand Up Tragedian.
Yup. Someone who does what a stand up comedian does, with the little observations and "Don'tcha just hate it" whens and "Knock Knock" jokes and such, but with a punchline that is tragic rather than comic.
Because the Sad Face of Drama ought to be equally represented at the Improv, I believe.
So, here's a little preview of my act, off the cuff. (Not for those who do not wish to weep.)
"Knock knock."
"Who's there?"
"Uvga who?"
"You've got inoperable liver cancer. I'm very sorry."
"Do you ever notice that when you go to the grocery store you can never find a parking space? But there are all of those blue-marked handicapped spaces available right at the front, closest to the door. Because some people have been in life-altering accidents that have left them incapable of living a normal life without some assistance and accommodation."
"So, I was sitting at home the other day and my roommate came in looking dissheveled. I said 'Hey, buddy. Why are you looking so dissheveled?' And he said 'Well, I was pulling into the driveway today and I ran over a box of puppies.'"
So, whaddaya think?
(Editor's Note: It's okay to laugh. The point here is that tragedy provokes similar reactions in us. We laugh almost out of self-defense. I was giggling inappropriately the entire time I was writing this.)

Turner, R.A., exh. cat., N.W. Lott and H.J. Gerrish Ltd 1982; Eric Shanes, 'New Light on the England and Wales Series', Turner Studies, vol.4, no.1, Summer 1984, pp.52–4; Eric Shanes, Turner's England 1810–38, 1990
Picturesque Views in England and Wales was the most ambitious of the engraving projects with which Turner became associated in the 1820s and 1830s. The project was the idea of the engraver Charles Heath, who had first worked with Turner in 1811 when he engraved the figures in John Pye's translation of Turner's oil of 'Pope's Villa at Twickenham' (Butlin and Joll 1984, no.72). From the 1820s, however, Heath began to devote his energies to publishing: besides England and Wales, he launched a number of popular illustrated annuals and the 'Rivers of France', for which Turner was also engaged to make designs (see T05105-T05109 and T04678-T04726).
A recently discovered letter from Charles Heath to the Yarmouth banker and patron of the arts, Dawson Turner, dated February 1825, throws much light on the genesis of the project (see Shanes 1984, pp.52–4):
I have just begun a most splendid work from Turner the Academician. he is making me 120 Drawings of England and Wales - I have just got four and they are the finest things I ever saw they cost me 30 Gins each and I have been offered 50 Gins each by two or three different Gentlemen. The Drawings, what is very unusual they will yield a Profit as much as the Plates, they will be engraved the size of the coast work of Cookes [Picturesque Views on the Southern Coast of England, see T04370-T04427], any one who has seen them says it will be the best and most lucrative speculation ever executed of that description. I mean to have them engraved by all the first Artists. Messrs Hurst & Robinson are to have half the work on condition they find all the capital necessary - so that I have half the Drawings and half the Profits at no risk - I shall send you fine Proofs of course of the whole work
It is clear from this letter that Heath's original intention was to publish 120 subjects, although in the event only ninety-six appeared, published in twenty-four parts of four prints each between 1827 and 1838. Turner's fee is stated in the letter to have been 30 guineas for each drawing, which confirms the suspicion amongst recent writers that Rawlinson had exaggerated when stating that Turner received 'sixty to seventy guineas apiece' (Rawlinson I 1908, p.xlvii). Turner apparently received thirty proofs of each print (Alaric Watts: quoted in Shanes 1979, p.10).
According to Rawlinson (I 1908, p.xlviii), the engravers received between £80 and £100 a plate. Altogether, nineteen engravers were employed on the project, some of whom already had experience of working with Turner over the previous ten to fifteen years: Edward Goodall, John Horsburgh, William Miller, William Radclyffe and Richard Wallis had all contributed plates to the Southern Coast (see under T04370-T04427); William Raymond Smith and John Charles Varrall engraved plates for the History of Richmondshire (see under T04439-T04484); and Thomas Higham (1795–1844) executed a plate of 'Wilton House' in 1825 for Hoare's History of Modern Wiltshire. The remaining eleven new recruits were: James Baylis Allen (1803–76), Robert Brandard (1803 or 1805–1862), William John Cooke (1797–1865), Samuel Fisher (early to mid nineteenth century), J. Henshall (active 1820s–40s), Thomas Jeavons (born early nineteenth century, died 1867), James H. Kernot (active 1820s–40s), James C. Redaway (active 1818–57), William Tombleson (born c.1795), Charles Westwood (died 1855) and James Tibbitts Willmore (1800–63). According to Eric Shanes, the prices of the prints varied from a guinea and a half per part for proofs on India paper to fourteen shillings per part for ordinary prints (Shanes 1979, p.11). Rawlinson stated that he had been told by the publisher Henry Graves that 'the plates were usually engraved as fast as Turner supplied the drawings, so that the date on each print always corresponds within about a year with that of the drawing' (Rawlinson I 1908, p.117). However, Shanes has argued that this may not always have been the case (Shanes 1979, p.11). Only one watercolour for the series, 'Saltash', is dated, to the year 1825, and this was not engraved until 1827 (it appeared in part III) - although since it seems to have been among the first drawings made by Turner for the series, the delay which ensued before it was engraved may have been caused by the project getting off to a slow start.
The letter from Heath to Dawson Turner also indicates that Hurst and Robinson were initially intended to be co-publishers with Heath for the series, and to put up all the capital. In January 1826, however, the country suffered a severe economic downturn, and Hurst and Robinson were bankrupted in the resulting 'crash'. The first part of England and Wales was not published until 1 March 1827 by a City firm of print-publishers, Robert Jennings & Co, who had taken over from Hurst and Robinson as co-publishers (although the financial responsibility seems still to have been shared with Heath: see Shanes 1979, p.10); Jennings also took on marketing and distribution. This was to prove but the first in a number of changes (or realignments) of publisher, with the result that Picturesque Views in England and Wales has one of the most tortuous publishing histories of any series in this period.
Jennings remained publisher until 1831, although towards the end of this period he went into partnership with William Chaplin whose name appears alongside that of Jennings on the publication line for a number of the early plates. Finding the venture a financial burden, however, early in 1831 Jennings and Chaplin sold out their share to a larger concern, the Moon, Boys and Graves Gallery of 6 Pall Mall (Shanes 1979, p.13), with Heath apparently still retaining his previous holding. In 1832 Moon, Boys and Graves had the first sixty plates (the projected first volume) bound in a single volume, with accompanying text by Hannibal Evans Lloyd (1771–1847), a philologist and translator in the Foreign Office and the author of a successful English grammar used in several German universities (Herrmann 1990, p.119). Shanes (1979, p.14) equates 'the original advertised prices' 'per vol.' listed by Rawlinson (I 1908, p.118) with the prices for the sixty prints in this 1832 first volume; these ranged from £48 for India proofs before letters on Colombier folio issued together with the etchings (or £40 without the etchings), to £24 for India proofs with letters on Imperial Quarto (or ordinary proofs of thesame for 15 guineas), to 10 guineas for Royal Quarto prints.
However, not long afterwards Sir Francis Moon found himself in financial difficulties, and split with Boys and Graves, being replaced by Hodgson. Within a few months, Hodgson and Graves quarrelled, Graves departed, and Hodgson decided to sell off his share in the project in 1835 to Longman Rees, Orme, Brown, Green and Longman (who already had a large share in Heath's other enterprises such as The Keepsake and The Rivers of France, see T05105-T05109 and T04678-T04726). It was Longmans who decided to terminate publication in 1838. That year they reissued all ninety-six plates in two volumes of forty-eight engravings each (with additional letterpress by Lloyd) and, according to Shanes, issued them at the same prices as the Moon, Boys and Graves volume which had appeared in 1832 (Shanes 1979, p.14). Heath was by now financially ruined, although he was never officially declared bankrupt (in April 1840 he sold his own set of proofs for the series at Sotheby's; these are now in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, see Herrmann 1990, p.139 and n.95). Shanes (1979, p.15) estimates that the entire project cost in the order of £14,000–18,000, figures which, if anything, are likely to be on the conservative side.
In 1839, in an attempt to recoup some of their losses, Longmans decided to sell the entire stock of prints and plates from the series, and put them up for auction at Messrs Southgate & Company in Fleet Street. Just before the sale started, Turner himself managed to purchase the stock privately at the reserve price of £3,000, much to the consternation of all the prospective purchasers. One of these was H.G. Bohn, the dealer in cheap reprints who had had his eye on the ninety-six copper plates, and to whom it is recorded that Turner triumphantly announced: 'So, sir, you were going to buy my England and Wales, to sell cheap, I suppose - make umbrella prints of them, eh? - but I have taken care of that. No more of my plates shall be worn to shadows' (Alaric Watts; quoted in A.J. Finberg, The Life of J.M.W. Turner, 2nd ed., 1961, p.374).
The engravings and plates for England and Wales were still in Turner's London house in Queen Anne Street when he died, and were disposed of as the Fifth Portion of the massive Chancery sales of 'The Valuable Engravings of the Works of the Late J.M.W. Turner, R.A.' held at Christie's in 1873 and 1874. The prints from England and Wales were sold on 27 May 1874 and 23–4 July 1874 (Herrmann 1990, p.140, mistakenly says 24 May 1874), but the plates themselves were destroyed just before the sale (Rawlinson I 1908, p.117). There were 222 lots of prints from this series alone, totalling over 52,000 engravings and including more than five hundred bound volumes; since the entire total of prints sold in the Turner sales was 76,000 (in over 1,850 lots), it is clear that the prints from England and Wales must have accounted for a considerable proportion of the £40,000 raised by the sales (see Herrmann 1990, pp.140, 248).
One of the reasons sometimes quoted for the commercial failure of the England and Wales project is the fact that copper was used (apparently on Turner's insistence) in preference to the more hard-wearing and economical steel (see Shanes 1979, p.14 and Herrmann 1990, pp.127–8), and hence that the prints were over-priced. In fact very little had been published in line on steel as early as 1824 and 1825 when the project was first conceived (except for images on a much smaller scale), so whether steel was actually considered a realistic option at this date is not know. Certainly, however, the series does seem to have suffered serious competition from a variety of similar, cheaper publications flooding the market over the same period, reproducing the work of such popular artists as Samuel Prout, Clarkson Stanfield and David Roberts (see A.J. Finberg, The Life of J.M.W. Turner, 2nd ed., 1961, p.375). Herrmann makes the perceptive point that, towards its close, England and Wales must have appeared rather old-fashioned (Herrmann 1990, p.139), whilst Rawlinson speculates that the public may have seen too many Turner prints of a topographical nature over the previous twenty years, and perhaps have wearied of the irregular appearances of his previous serial issues (Rawlinson I 1908, p.xlviii). What is fairly sure is that the series did not founder due to lack of publicity, for repeated attempts were made by the various publishers to promote the project by holding exhibitions of the watercolours (sometimes alongside the engravings) -in 1829 at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, in 1831 at the Freemasons Tavern, and in 1833 at the Gallery of Moon, Boys and Graves in Pall Mall.
Although Picturesque Views in England and Wales was not a commercial success, today the series is regarded as one of the finest and as one of the most important made from Turner's work. Andrew Wilton has described the subjects 'as modern "history pictures" in which the common man is the hero' (introduction to Shanes 1979), and certainly it is the relationship of man to the landscape which is the series' constant theme. Unlike previous engraved series, Turner himself selected the subjects, which fall into a wide range of categories covering almost every aspect of his work as a landscape painter - coastal subjects, urban and industrial views, English pastoral scenes, and views of cathedrals and abbeys. Many of the subjects were adapted from extant sketches or watercolours, although thirteen were based on new material gathered by him on a tour to the Midlands in 1830 undertaken especially for the project. In the variety and richness of its subject matter, and in the breadth and universality of its vision, Picturesque Views in England and Wales surpasses all the other series in which Turner had hitherto been involved. And the engravings are some of the most sophisticated and accomplished ever made after his designs.
The group of prints catalogued here comprises mainly etchings and first published states. The open etchings seem to have survived in fairly plentiful numbers, no doubt because they were issued to subscribers together with the 'India proofs' at little extra cost (see above). Rawlinson does not catalogue the etchings, although sometimes they appear to correspond with his engraver's proofs; nevertheless, for clarity's sake, they are given here as 'etchings'. Rawlinson catalogues the first published states as before title, publication line and printer's name, and his system has been followed here-although it seems likely that most of the so-called 'first published states' listed here correspond to the 'India proofs' with which the etchings were originally advertised as being issued. No touched proofs are included in this group, although a number of such proofs have survived for this series (there are examples in the British Museum).
Collectors mentioned in the provenance include: Henry Harper Benedict (b.1844; Lugt 2936), a manufacturer who lived in New York and collected Old Master and modern prints; G.E. Blood (d. c.1923; Lugt Suppt 265c); George Cooke, the engraver (see under T04370-T04427); the unidentified collector William Prior, who received a number of presentation proofs from various engravers who worked on England and Wales; and Charles Stokes (1785–1853; Lugt 2758 and Suppt), antiquary, geologist, lithographer and Turner's stockbroker, who formed a celebrated collection of Liber proofs and of touched proofs of the Richmondshire and England and Wales series (see Gage 1980, p.288).

I grew up with a father who had a passion for making silver jewelry! Over the years, my mom was rarely seen my father's clothes stained, with a deep strip on his palm and often dusty eyelashes. Naturally, a piece of handmade silver jewelry he created eventually made his small gift business.
He was a little silent and liked to stare at a piece of jewelry for a long time. At first, his business was the financial source of our family, and then slowly, it became our source of happiness, and we became more and more fond of polishing and creating a great little gift.
