A young man comes into the emergency department every few weeks with mysterious air bubbles under his skin. An otherwise healthy adult male cannot shake the hiccups. A woman becomes partially paralyzed every time she gets pregnant. These are some of the curious cases that are presented in True Medical Detective Stories by Clifton K. Meador (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2012; 102 pp). Here are some representative quotes and claims from the book:
- "[Of psychogenic epidemics] One expert in the field states, 'The challenge is to convey the scientific reality without being seen as blaming or demeaning the victims.' Even though the nature of the illnesses may be solved, we do not have enough information about the correct way to manage mass psychogenic epidemics at the present time. Even after careful detective work, they remain as mysteries of the mind." (p31)
- "No one knows what instructions Dr. Kampmeier gave him, but Sam was never admitted again. No one ever knew what led Dr. Kampmeier to know Sam needed to make a confession. I wonder how many medical mysteries would be solved by full confessions." (p45)
- "The medical mystery with self-inflicted disease is not what these people to do harm themselves, but why. That mystery has not yet been solved." (p51)
- "The true detective interviews family members, seeking their observations. He inquires about pets, travels, work habits, personal beliefs, and so on. What in the life of the patient is causing the illness? Above all, the medical detective must listen carefully to the patient repeatedly. He does this until the patient becomes his or her own detective, making observations and correlations about the circumstances and surroundings of life." (p81)
True Medical Detective Stories is an enjoyable glimpse at some of the stranger cases that Dr. Clifton K. Meador he has encountered (personally or through colleagues) in his over fifty years of teaching and practicing medicine. Following in the tradition of medical writer Berton Roueche, Meador presents real-life stories from medical and epidemiological cases and explains how those apparent mysteries were solved. He closes each case with a few philosophical thoughts on what the experience can tell us about patients, medicine, disease, or man—the rational, and sometimes irrational—animal.
The cases and the book are so short (3-4 pages each, 102 pages in total) that it would be easy to spoil the best surprises. Suffice it to say that Meador explains, for instance, how extracting the details of a young man's sex life led to solving the man's case of subcutaneous air pockets and high fever. And how looking at a patient's eardrum cured that patient's uncontrollable hiccups. And how a lesson in geology explained one woman's recurring paralysis during pregnancy.
The author is succinct with clinical details, and he doesn't oversell the lessons learned. True Medical Detective Stories is a good, fast-paced pleasure read. It is not a deep exploration of medicine's mysteries and it won't become a genre classic, but it is a fun set of recollections that is worth the read.

Mugshots and the Stories Behind the Faces.
These images are of mugshots from the John Edward Lawler Papers. Presented here are 12 individuals out of a total of 33 mugshot cards in the collection. The images are listed as "Crime Survey Photographs of Criminals" in the collection. Each black and white photograph is about 3 x 5 inches.On the reverse of each mugshot card is typed information about the person, including their name and known crimes. Lawler acquired a large amount of FBI files while head of the Richmond FBI Field Office to use for training purposes and these mugshot cards are part of those materials. Information presented below about these individuals was taken from the reverse of each card, from other FBI files in the Lawler Papers, and newspaper accounts. Click on each image for a larger view. Raymond E. O'Connor Raymond E. Conner [as he was referred to in newspaper accounts, the name differs from his mugshot] was arrested in 1936 for the hold-up of Richmond's Lakeview Dairy. Charges were placed against Conner after he had been arrested in Baltimore with his bride of twenty-four hours, Bertha Cecil, sixteen, of 1408 East Main Street. Cecil was charged with aiding and abetting her husband in the hold-up after police discovered she had waited in a taxicab while Conner robbed the dairy. Edward W. Thorpe Conner was additionally charged with burglarizing three Broad Street stores with his accomplice, Edward W. Thorpe. Conner and Thorpe's burglaries yielded loot worth about $1,500 from the A. Reeves Company, 319 West Broad Street; the Baker Shoe Company, 419 East Broad Street, and the Rosebud shop, 307 East Broad Street ---------------------------------------- Ethan B. Adams Ethan B. Adams: This man held up a small loan office on Grace Street. He was spotted by a clerk while dancing at the Wigwam, a roadhouse on Washington Highway. Was sentenced to 25 years for similar offense in Kansas City, Mo. ---------------------------------------- Travis W. Mabry - "Houdini of the Bastille" Pictured here in 1945, Travis W. Mabry had gained a reputation in the 1920s as the "Houdini of the Bastille" for repeatedly escaping Richmond jails and the State Penitentiary. When plotting an escape, Mabry would typically wait for an event to be held within the prison, usually a religious service, and then take advantage of the commotion to saw through the bars of his cell and abscond. Mabry's tools had been smuggled in but authorities were unable to identify their source with certainty. ---------------------------------------- John Allen John Allen alias Grey Head alias Grey Mule : Jewel burglar — Dealer in narcotics. ---------------------------------------- Austin Lee Joyce - Richmond's "Polite Bandit" Richmond's "polite bandit," Austin Lee Joyce, thirty-one, of 2129 Park Ave. was convicted in 1936 on three charges of highway robbery and given twenty-four years in the State Penitentiary. Joyce, referred to as both "Raffles" and "the polite bandit," attained the latter title when his victims reported to the police that they had been robbed at gunpoint by a well-spoken man who apologized profusely for his rudeness. Operating primarily within the vicinity of Richmond's Fan District, Joyce targeted motorists for his stick ups. He would brandish a pistol (which turned out to be a toy), enter the vehicle, and have the motorist drive for a while before taking both their money and car. ---------------------------------------- Hazel Mahahn alias Mrs. Gordon Magann Crime not described. ---------------------------------------- Raymond L. Cauthon alias Carl L. Von Barkoff This individual is described as a jewel thief and had operated in Norfolk, Virginia where he was sentenced to a long term in the Virginia Penitentiary. After he was paroled, he operated in Chesterfield and Henrico Counties just outside the City of Richmond lines stealing jewelry. ---------------------------------------- Robert Holt alias Curly Holt Dope fiend and peddler—Safe man. ---------------------------------------- Thad W. Faison alias Doc Faison The back of this mugshot of Faison describes him as a man who at one time was a medical student. He operated a service station in the east end of the city and was a known fence for all kinds of stolen goods. He directed several boxcar robberies during the 1930s. ---------------------------------------- Morris Caudle Safeman, suspected of fingering several jobs in the Richmond area. ---------------------------------------- Fred Jackett While no crime is indicated on the back of his mug shot card, he received a physical description as follows: "Tattoo: Upper left arm two hearts and arrow with 'Dad' and 'Mom,' also name 'Ruth.' Scar 1" corner left eye." ---------------------------------------- The Boyd Gang In a 1945 Crime Survey by the local F.B.I., Lawler identified the Boyd Gang as "the most dangerous gang of criminals operating in the Richmond area at the present time." Under the leadership of Mark Hanna Boyd, the notorious gang engaged extensively in the hijacking of liquor shipments, subsequent bootlegging, black market dealings and gambling. Maintaining ties to similar organizations along the east coast, the Boyd Gang was able to conduct illegal activities within the City of Richmond due to connections with corrupt officers within the Richmond Police Department. According to Lawler's assessment, the gang included, among others, a Notary Public, a police officer, the Complaint Clerk of the Richmond Police Department, and a criminal attorney. Mark Hanna Boyd According to the files of the F.B.I., Boyd 's criminal record began in 1929 when he was received by the U.S. Penitentiary in Atlanta, Georgia to serve five years following conviction as a narcotics dealer. The picture shown here dates to his intake at that penitentiary at the age of thirty-seven. In 1934, Boyd was received at the Virginia State Penitentiary to serve twelve years for highway robbery. It was likely during this period of incarceration that the Boyd Gang formed. Lawler's 1945 Crime Report on Richmond warned, "Boyd is known to carry firearms and he is believed to be a dangerous individual." Fay Olon Green Fay Green , an "old time burglar and safe cracker," according to Lawler's files, had been a member of the Boyd Gang and was convicted, along with Mark Boyd, for hijacking a cigarette truck. Although he later left the gang and claimed to have gone straight, Green was distrusted by the Richmond Police Department due to his criminal record and notoriety as "one of the best burglars and safe crackers in the Richmond area." George W. Messer Pictured here in 1930 at the age of twenty-two, George W. Messer was a member of the Boyd Gang who sold "hot" merchandise in a shop disguised as a haberdashery (men's clothing store). It is most likely that Messer first encountered Boyd when the two were inmates at the Virginia State Penitentiary. Messer had been incarcerated in 1930 for first degree murder and sentenced to forty-five years. According to Lawler's research, Penitentiary records indicated that Messer's father had been killed, but it was not clear whether the father was the victim of a murder or not. Messer was conditionally pardoned on January 10, 1938. |

After a long and tiresome day, a good book often helps you tune in with yourself all over again. So what's on our reading list? LBBD's Neha Kirpal handpicked some new titles for you to curl up with and enjoy. The books are a mix of heavy and light reads …Figure out what kind of mood you're in and take your pick!
1. 'WONDERSTRUCK' | by Brian Selznick
About the Book |
A boy named Ben longs for the father he has never known. A girl named Rose dreams of a mysterious actress whose life she chronicles in a scrapbook. When Ben discovers a puzzling clue in his mother's room, and Rose reads an enticing headline in the newspaper, both children set out alone on desperate quests to find what they are missing.
Ben's story, set in 1977, is told entirely with words, while Rose's story, set fifty years earlier, is told entirely with pictures. The two stories weave back and forth before ultimately coming together. Rich, complex, affecting, and beautiful–with over 460 pages of original artwork–'Wonderstruck' is a stunning achievement from a uniquely gifted artist and visionary.
Reviews |
"Playing with the form he created in his trailblazing debut novel, 'The Invention of Hugo Cabret,' Brian Selznick once again sails into uncharted territory and takes readers on an awe-inspiring journey." Goodreads
"Everything about this book begs you to love it. The printing and design are gorgeous, the paper of the highest quality, and the heft of the book, a Selznick trademark, would shame a Russian novel…It is a visual tour de force, part stop frame animation, part picture book. This technique is at the heart of the book, and the book has heart." The Guardian
Memorable quote |
"Maybe, thought Ben, we are all cabinets of wonders."
2. 'PLEASE LOOK AFTER MOM' | By Kyung-Sook Shin
About the Book |
Winner of the Man Asian Literary prize, 2011, 'Please Look After Mom' is the story of a missing mother and her family, told from the shifting points of view of each of the family members. The novel tracks down the mother's life of self-sacrifice, which coincided with Korea's dramatic shift from a pre-modern to post-modern society, and in the course has restored a place for motherhood in the Korean psyche.
Reviews |
"The book is about the selfish family of Park So-nyo, a woman who got lost in the crowd at a train station in Seoul and has not reappeared. Shocked into decency, her husband, two sons, and two daughters find themselves replaying all the button-pushing, tear-jerking moments that illustrated this woman's love and devotion." NY Times
"It certainly taps the universal tendency to take one's mother for granted, as the children of the missing woman decide to distribute a recent photograph, then discover that none of them possesses one. There are sightings of a disoriented figure in blue plastic sandals eating out of restaurant dustbins, yet she slips out of the narrative as obliquely as she absents herself from family portraits." The Guardian
Memorable quote |
"When people started to hold ancestral rites in time-share vacation homes, they worried whether the spirits would be able to find them, but now people just say, 'Ancestors, I'll be back' and go to the airport."
3. 'POWDER ROOM' | by Shefalee Vasudev
A book that manages to spill it all about the inside workings of the glittery and murky fashion world, complete with interviews of well-known designers, students, and fashionistas. As its tagline aptly describes it, 'Powder Room' speaks the 'untold story of Indian fashion.' There's dope on everything in this book – from models to darzis, Bollywood to journalists.
A fascinating perspective provided by the author who is the founding editor of Marie Claire in India and currently an editor at The Indian Express, 'Powder Room' is brilliantly researched in its subject. A light and contemporary read for anyone remotely interested in fashion – or not.
Reviews |
"There are bridezillas who huff and demand their Sabyasachi's; designers both young and old who fall prey to the industry's unforgiving cycle; Fashion Week scrimmages; and old-school artisans loath to take their craft into the new consumer century." Mumbai Boss
"Vasudev takes you through every 'waft, wrap, and cleavage' of the fashion industry. From obvious accounts of small-town girls/aspiring models sipping the gullible cocktail of drugs, sex, and partying to the often unheard tales of muddiness that makes a fashion journalist, her stories introduce you to fashion, without any subtext." Hindustan Times
Memorable quote |
"Ludhiana is Delhi on steroids."
4. 'JUST MARRIED, PLEASE EXCUSE' | by Yashodhara Lal
About the Book |
Yashodhara, a quick-tempered gal from the big city, is hitched to Vijay, a laidback desi boy from a small town– in one word, trouble! The young couple must learn to adjust to married life and to each other– whether it is Yashodhara's 'tamper tantrums' or Vijay's foot-in-mouth syndrome – with a little help from their idiosyncratic staff Zarreena and Vinod, their nutty friend Vivi and, of course, their respective families.
A fresh and honest take on marriage and parenthood, this is a story of self-discovery that will have you laughing out loud, and sympathizing wholeheartedly with its quirky and likeable cast of characters.
Reviews |
"A hip girl from the city meets a small town guy living in the city, love happens leading to marriage, all is hunky dory till baby arrives, but then all is well that ends well." The Book Lover's Review blog
"The book is a reality check on the married life of the urban couples who stay alone far away from the comfort zone of the families. As one reads, you will find yourself laughing over smallest of the matters which are detailed out in the book." Ginger Chai
Memorable quote |
"It was clear that despite our mutual attraction, we had too many differences – he referred to himself as a 'simple man' and was easy-going, good-humoured, and even-tempered. He also was a small-town boy, had been brought up as part of a conservative family in Jaipur and had a distinctly desi flavour. I, on the other hand, was a 'modern' Delhi girl who had always had a bit of a hot temper and clearly favoured Alanis over Amitabh."
5. 'SCENES FROM EARLY LIFE' | by Philip Hensher
About the Book |
Heshner's semi-fictional account of his husband's Bengali childhood is a fascinating hybrid of novel and memoir. The book traces the childhood of Saadi, a young scion of the Bangladeshi haute bourgeoisie, who 'speaks in the voice of the author's husband, Zaved Mahmood.' In setting down the events of his own young life, Sav, who steps back from his child self into adulthood occasionally, also bears witness to the birth of a nation: the final creation of a 'national home' for the Bengalis.
Reviews |
"Saadi begins with memories of his grandfather's sprawling home in Dacca {modern Dhaka}. Born into an upper-middle class Bengali family in 1970, at a time when post-Partition Bengal is buckling under Pakistani sovereignty, Saadi's voice gives us vignettes of early life – his favorite aunt, his pet chicken Piklu's antics, his childhood games. These read like nostalgia-drenched snapshots accompanying – and resembling – the grainy black and white photographs occasionally printed alongside the text." The Independent
"Politics is a constant backdrop, not least on account of Zaved's grandfather's friendship with Sheikh Mujib, the country's first president…Hensher perfectly captures both Zaved's tone and the rhythms of the wider society. This is his most purely pleasurable novel to date." The Daily Mail
Memorable quote |
"At that time, there were children you weren't supposed to play with. You knew why. Their parents had been informers during the war. And it hadn't been long since you could have got into trouble for singing a song. My grandfather hid all his Bengali poetry in the cellar."

Starview to be Expanded
November 7th, 2008 | by Clay Gump | Published in Enclave at 8700 - Formerly Starview Plaza | 2 Comments
The DIAMONDBACK is reporting that the City Council approved plans to expand the Starview project to add another story. This will increase the project by 105 beds. Groundbreaking should be within 30 days. The change was requested when the builders determined the structure could support another story. The maximum height was supposed to be 5. Then the district council approved six. Now they are planning a seventh? Who is building this thing Donald Trump?

Great location. Can walk to a lot of shows.
Posted Oct 23, 2013Pros: Great location.
Cons: Bedding was an issue and maybe queen pillows for queen beds.
The only thing that we can say negative about the room was the bedding. It seemed like the duvet cover was too hot and just a sheet was too cold. Maybe a blanket on the bed would help the temperature control. Thought we would have a problem with pets at the inn (as we don't have any and they are allowed ) but I can say we did not hear them or smell them. Great place to stay. Walking distance is good to go see Soul of Motown, Smoky Mountain Opry, Titanic and walk to the Apple Barn. Will stay there again

Very nice hotel and staff.
Posted Sep 15, 2013Pros: Location...staff...cleanliness.
Hotel was located on northern edge of Pigeon Forge, which made it quiet and away from the hustle and bustle around the center, if you are looking for something like that after a long day. The staff was friendly and very accommodating, not just the front desk, but the ladies that host the breakfast buffet. For someone who enjoys having coffee any time of the day, the coffee is always refresh, plus there is hot chocolate and assorted teas too, day and night. The room was very clean and comfy, and there was plenty of towels and wash cloths, sheets were clean as well. Room had plenty of outlets and usb ports. The lobby area was large and very inviting, with plenty of places to sit and enjoy meeting other people who are staying there. This is also the place you will be enjoying your breakfast and in the late afternoon they offer lemonade and fresh baked cookies, plus they have a popcorn kart with fresh popped popcorn. Next time my wife and I are back in Pigeon Forge, there is NO doubt that we will be staying there again. Would and have recommend this place to friends and family. Great job to folks there making our stay a great one. 8 )

easy access, close to most sights
Posted Sep 10, 2013 on Hotels.comI had no complaints with motel or staff. Clean room. friendly in every way. But it was pet friendly which is ok . I unfortunately was near a room with two dogs barking almost constantly. Called front desk, told them the problem and they must have taken care of situation. I think those two dogs should have been left at home.

Great hotel for the price. Good location, roomy, well maintained, clean, and good breakfast. Free internet access was great but the speed was not. Unless it improves, don't count on extensive use of the internet for info or transacting. Also the mattress was much too soft for those of us who sleep on their stomachs. Otherwise its a great stay. I'd stay again and recommend to others.

Posted Aug 22, 2013 on Hotels.comThe only thing that could have been better is if both elevators had been working. Even with one, it was not much different than when there are two operational. Close to everything, but set back away from the noise. Nice pool for the kids, good breakfast, friendly staff, a very pleasant stay.

How about a happy post for a change?
Garden & Guns, a lively and well-written web site that specializes in Southern culture, has a great feature story on the English folk-rock group Mumford & Sons. I've featured this group in one of our Southern Music Break posts, and thoroughly enjoyed the Garden & Guns article. It's a great introduction to this unique and talented group.
Here's the takeaway quote, from band member Winston Marshall:
"The South is a lot like Ireland. I have no family, no connections at all. But within a week you meet everyone's relatives. That never happens in England. Some of my best friends are here [in England], and I've never met their families."
4 thoughts on "England's Mumford & Sons channel Dixie roots"
Savrola Post reminds me of Reagan's claiming Born in the USA as a campaign anthem.
Too bad Southern Nationalism has no musicial outreach, but to have musical outreach, you have to have a culture.
C Bowen (Hawthorne) Harrison;
Up New England way, Mumford is a SWPL band. Our local musical act, Dropkick Murphies, are brilliant working class populism/antiwar, and they had to open for Mumford in the local scene.
Mumford sounds like John Mayer or something like that to me.
The points about Celtic music and particularly Southern Celtic Music are spot on. Southern music developed the "morbid killing tune" that was retransmitted back to Ireland (e.g. "Long Black Veil") and gave them the "melancholy" sound that most people associate with…Irish folk music.
C Bowen (Hawthorne) Harrison;
Where do Southrons place a Dave Mathews? I don't dislike Dave Matthew's music, but it does little for me. I have had this discussion elsewhere, but there is very little cross over between the Alt Country crowd (e.g. Son Volt/Uncle Tuepelo, Drive By Truckers crowd) and the Jam Band crowd. A fan of Phish is more likely to like Dave Matthews and never heard of an Alt Country tune.
Just to get the point clear, Southern folk was a version of Celtic music. My point was that this version, when sent back to Ireland became what we call "Irish music"–fiddle and guitar, with dark lyrics–very similar to the Anglo-Celt's–Yeats, Lewis… (specifically, Anglos who settled in Irelands during the Cromwell period) creating a mythical Ireland in poetry and literature.
To throw some examples out there, I am not sure there is any joy in Southern Celtic folk–its all tragedy, but with some sense of honor or heroism. Neil Young's "Powderfinger" written for Skynard (or Down by the River), Hendrix "Hey, Joe", The Band's "The Night They Put Old Dixie Down", and Steve Earle's "Copperhead Road" all fit the Southern Celtic lyrical tradition, without being Irish music in sound. (Earle being the only one who was at least from Virginia.)
Hence, Mumford–though I should check their whole catalog before ignoring because the sound is there–or a Dave Mathews come up lacking.

Celiac Awareness Month at Swiss Pastry Shop in Fort Worth
May 6, 2012
My heart goes out to all of you who struggle with Gluten Sensitivity or Celiac's Disease. I tried a Gluten free diet for a month and, as a baker, I can tell you it was very difficult. I know choices are limited in the realm of desserts, pizza, bread and other delicious things we grew up eating. I can tell you that our biggest selling cake for 40 years now, The Black Forest Macaron Cake, is made without any gluten containing ingredients, no flour, oats, or wheat by-products. Of course, we are a regular bakery so there are flour particles floating in the air. I sure wish I had a Black Forest dedicated facility so I could label it Gluten Free, but I do have several gluten sensitive friends who swear by the cake and have no problems with it. God bless you gus and girls struggling with gluten and I just wanted you all to know that we in the baking industry sympathize with your struggle and are working on recipes and techniques in dessert making that can satisfy your need for dessert that do not taste like cardboard.
Black Forest Cake was Gluten Free before it was cool.
April 29, 2012
In the mid sixties, almost 50 years ago, my dad was hired on as the Pastry Chef at Ridglea Country Club. He had a dream and cake recipe. It was for a crunchy Almond Meringue cake called Black Forest Cake, no relation to the chocolate cake with cherries doused in kirsch. Dad opened a Bakery in 1972 with the help of a reluctant landlord, Loften Witcher, on the sleepy little busininess road of West Vickery Blvd. No one thought it would work, but because of some persistence, hard work and his Black Forest Cake, the Swiss Pastry Shop grew slowly but surely into succesful bakery/cafe it is today. I thinks it's funny that in this day and age when people are avoiding gluten and suffering through those health food store alternatives to real dessert, right under their noses is one of Ft Worth's favorite cakes without a speck of wheat flour in it. To all you Celiacs and Gluten Avoiders out there-have I got a Dessert for you.

My four year old loves his remote crane.
By Lora the designer mom

Comments about Toys R Us 1001325 Fast Lane Mega Crane Set:
My son loves the crane because he can stand or sit below the arm of the crane and watch it move and rotate. The height of the crane makes it more impressive for my son, however it is easy to run into it and it can fall. You need to make sure you have enough room in your home for the crane to stay art up otherwise you need to take apart the crane ever time to store away. My son is four and can work the remote very easy. He also lives the dump truck that comes with it too. He mostly pushes the truck in the dirt. Over all we are very please with the crane set.

Officials said the containment date of the Corral Complex fires, originally estimated for Wednesday, was pushed back a week to Sept. 18 due to the rugged terrain on the southern edge of the flames.
As of 6 p.m. on Wednesday, the burn area was holding steady at 12,295 acres, and containment remained at 79 percent. Some hot spots still exist within the contained area, but pose no threat to the line, fire officials said.
Crews have continued mop up along the primary fire line, and after last week's decision to change to a direct attack, those who have been stationed on the lines for the passed several days have returned to the fire camp.
Today command will transfer to the local U.S. Forest Service. In the past month, the complex has been managed by three incident management teams that have been working in unified command with the Hoopa Valley Tribe.
Reports from crews in the area indicate that the wildlife within the Trinity Wilderness continues to thrive. Firefighters in the area have observed several bears, deer, mountain lions, as well as quail and grouse. According to reports from wildlife biologists, the slow-moving nature of the fire may benefit these species.
The Butler Fire had spread to 28,064 acres and was 66 percent contained at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
According to fire officials, the fire has made an upslope run to the ridge line on the north side of China Creek drainage, but crews stopped it from crossing the line using water drops. Around 30 acres of brush and timber were consumed.
In other areas fire behavior was mainly smoldering and creeping in isolated pockets of fuel within existing containment lines.
Continued burning and short uphill runs were expected in China and Granite Creek drainages. No fire movement outside of control lines is anticipated. Crews will continue suppression repair with excavators on Hotelling Ridge in the Butler Fire and Yellow Jacket Ridge in the Salmon River Complex.
At around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, a fire started for unknown reasons near Somes Bar, off-duty CalFire Public Information Officer Dvid Janssen said. Janssen said around 8 p.m. that CalFire was assisting the forest service with an approximately 150-acre blaze. He said CalFire had sent crews, engines and dozers to aid with the attack, but because the fire is being handled by the forest service he was unable to provide any further information. Calls to the forest service were not returned by the Times-Standard deadline.

Irvine Home And Attic Insulation
Residents in Irvine, California who are looking for home-and-attic insulation will face a number of decisions, including selecting the type of material to be used and the way in which it will be installed. Some of the older houses in the Irvine area may have vermiculite insulation in place already. If this is the case, the owners must first have a qualified asbestos abatement contractor determine whether their vermiculite insulation contain asbestos, and remove it if it does.
Home-and-Attic Insulation Methods and Materials for Irvine Properties
To renovate existing houses, residents can hire a contractor to install home-and-attic insulation. Professional contractors can use sprayed insulation, which expands to fill the cavity in which it is installed. Sprayed installation tends to be more costly, however. Cellulose insulation is a more cost efficient solution, blown in either internally or externally depending on the home.
An alternative to cellulose is fiberglass, which can also be blown in. While installing fiberglass batts in open areas appears to be simple enough for owners to take such action in their own Irvine houses, professional installation is considered a wise choice for reasons other than convenience.
Current EPA guidelines for Energy Star rating require that the batts be installed with all six sides free of voids or gaps and with no compression. In attics, installing batts can be as straightforward as cutting the batts to fit the cavities in which they are placed. However, gaps, voids or compression can reduce the efficiency of the batt by as much as 80%.
Fiberglass or cellulose can be installed in a similar fashion throughout the rest of the house to increase thermal efficiency and reduce sound flow.
At Progressive Insulation & Windows, Irvine contractors and residents will find fiberglass insulation products from Johns Manville, Owens Corning and Certainteed available in the company's warehouse. These products are manufactured without use of harmful chemicals, resulting in improved air quality in the house in which they are installed. Other green products include Cocoon from Green Fiber.

Conflict Management
via Third Parties
Post-Conflict Affiliation of the Aggressor
Marjolijn Das
Reconciliation (i.e., affiliation between opponents shortly after an aggressive conflict) has been extensively studied in primates for nearly two decades (de Waal, Chapter 2). The phenomenon of postconflict third-party affiliation (i.e., affiliation between opponents and other group members) has received far less attention. Although de Waal & van Roosmalen described "consolation" (i.e., postconflict affiliation between targets of aggression and third parties) in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in 1979, it was not until the 1990s that research explicitly focused on post-conflict third-party affiliation. Most of these studies did not investigate the function of post-conflict third-party affiliation but merely demonstrated its occurrence or absence. In this chapter, I discuss post-conflict third-party affiliation involving the aggressor (see Watts et al., Chapter 14, for a discussion on postconflict third-party affiliation involving targets of aggression). The chapter focuses primarily on macaques because most studies of this affiliative behavior have been conducted on these species (Table 13.1). This is a relatively new field of study, and we are still in the phase of formulating working hypotheses for the function of this behavior. The chapter presents an overview of different types of post-conflict third-party affiliation and discusses hypotheses regarding their function with the intention to stimulate thinking and generate directions for future research. Throughout the chapter, the term conflict is used in the meaning of aggressive conflict.

Kitten and rabbit dumped in boxes at the side of the road
We are appealing for information after a kitten was found in one box and a rabbit in another, stacked on top of each other, at the side of a Darlington road.
The animals were found in a lay-by on the A66 in Sadberge on Friday 8 February by a member of the public who then called us.
RSPCA Inspector Emma Stainthorpe said:
I opened the first box to find a small black and white female rabbit. She was thin but otherwise in good bodily condition. The second box contained a female Tortoishell coloured kitten, aged around eight weeks old. She was thin and inundated with fleas and ear mites and very distressed.
Whoever dumped these animals had a rabbit and a kitten just a few days ago, we're urging anyone who knows who that person is to get in touch.
The animals were both taken to a local veterinary practice to be checked over and are now in our care.
The boxes were found at around 2.40pm. Both of the boxes, which were white, had the words 'Britannia International' printed on them. One also had the word 'Kitchen' hand-written on it. They were sealed with white tape.
She added:
It wasn't obvious what was in these boxes. They were sealed shut and the animals couldn't have escaped. It was cold and raining and they had no food, water or bedding. It's extremely lucky they were found when they were or they would have died there, plain and simple.
Anyone with any information should call the RSPCA cruelty line on 0300 1234 999 and ask to leave a message for Inspector Stainthorpe.

The Prevention Institute's Web site offers a downloadable paper describing how health disparities can be reduced through system-based prevention strategies that address the underlying factors influencing health.
This report, which may be downloaded from the Minnesota Department of Health's Web site, is a multi-disciplinary, inter-sector Call to Action produced by the Social Conditions and Health Action Team of the Minnesota Health Improvement Partnership (MHIP).
This brief summary of the Institute of Medicine Unequal Treatment report describes how racial and ethnic disparities may emerge and summarizes relevant findings and recommendations to help health care managers and professionals provide high quality care for all patients.
In 1988, the Institute of Medicine published its landmark report, "The Future of Public Health." The report defined public health as what society does collectively to assure the conditions for people to be healthy and presented strong evidence to indicate that the public health system — the organizational mechanism for achieving the best population health — was in disarray.
In the March 2006 issue of Minnesota Journal, published by the Citizens League, author Jan Malcolm discusses the implications of health spending on individual medical care versus spending on social determinants of health in communities.

Pasta does not always have to be paired with cheese sauce or tomato sauce. Our desi masala and spices work great !
Though I love pasta, sometimes I am bored of eating cheesy pasta or pasta marinara. That is when my mom's macaroni comes handy! At home, back in those days we never had variety of cheeses or pasta sauces available in the market. So my mom would add her desi spin to the dish, be it pasta or pizza!
Macaroni tossed with stir-fried veggies along with medley of masala and spices gives this dish a desi flavor. My special spin on this is cumin with soy sauce! Surprising haaan? Yes! I never thought these two ingredients blend so perfectly on heat to give a smokey masala flavor. I cannot stress enough on this combination; they just take the dish to the next level. With this macaroni, your taste buds will experience a completely new flavor for pasta

The months passed by in a whirlwind for Twilight. Instead of spending every morning in lessons with other students discussing the finer points of conjuration spells she found herself reporting to the barracks of the royal guard by sunrise. The Captain hadn't been kidding when he'd told her that the training would be draining; The royal guard were expected to be in peak shape and Twilight was no exception.
"Faster, Twilight, you're falling behind!"
"You call that a push up? Do twenty more, and do them RIGHT this time!"
"I don't care WHAT time it is, Sparkle, nopony is leaving this room until everypony has completed a chin up, and that includes you!"
It frustrated her to no end and reduced her to tears more than a few times. She came to the brink of quitting a half dozen times in the first two weeks alone, but the Captain was always there with a few words of encouragement and reassurance. If he ever got too mean for her, he reminded her with a wink and a smile, she could always just turn him into some sort of topiary. Twilight also decided against asking her brother to speak to Reinolds about going easy on her. She valued the Captain's respect too much.
Twilight found the intellectual portion of the training far less taxing. She'd always picked up new material more quickly than most, but she took to this field like a seapony to water. Blocking and channeling the flows of magical energy were her special talent, after all, and more than once reading about a new technique just gave her a name to attach to something she'd already been doing strictly by instinct. Still, there was lots to cover. Twilight learned how to create and maintain up to three different wards at a time, each one tailored against the different magical properties of attacks an opponent might try to strike her with, as well as how to recognize the elemental properties of wards and strikes constructed by others. She refined her grasp of telekinesis to a degree of precision and flexibility she hadn't known was possible. She discovered that most problems could be overcome with enough fire, lightning, or some combination of the two.
Despite the extra work piled on top of her usual lessons from the Princess, Twilight still managed to occasionally get back to Ponyville to see her friends. They were always happy to see her, of course, and Rainbow Dash especially seemed impressed by the training regimen she was undergoing. "almost as tough as my Wonderbolts training!" she'd finally conceded. The pegasus was eager to swap training tips and had plenty of horror stories of her own. Twilight was happy to have somepony to commiserate with, and found she'd developed a newfound respect for the friend who she'd always considered to be a bit on the lazy side before she experienced firsthoof how draining a marathon workout session could be.
Her other friends were happy to help her with her training as well. Even the Captain's workouts didn't compare to helping Applejack haul barrels of cider around the farm. And while the captain didn't understand exactly why "playing tag with Pinkie Pie" was so much more effective than his own obstacle courses (Twilight had long ago given up trying to explain anything having to do with Pinkie Pie), he couldn't argue with what it was doing for her reaction time and agility.
Even Rarity had seemed eager to help when Twilight had come to visit her boutique.
"You know Twilight, I took some self-defense training myself back in my school days," said Rarity.
"Oh yes, every young gentlemare needs to know the proper way to fend off plebeian ruffians that might accost her. Here, let me show you." Rarity walked over to her sewing table and picked up a pair of scissors. "Now, imagine I'm some terrible ruffian of a pony, and I'm going to take these scissors and I'll... I'll... ooh! Yes! I'm going to trim your mane!"
"Well, I guess it has gotten a bit shaggy lately..."
"What? No, dear, that's not what I mean. I'm not actually going to cut your mane, you're just supposed to pretend that I am," said Rarity
"Oh, do you like it longer like this? I was worried that my schedule was so full that I'd kind of let it go a bit, but you think it still looks OK?" asked Twilight. Rarity gave her mane an appraising look, the scissors momentarily forgotten, and bit her lip.
"...That's not important right now! The point is that I'm an attacker! I'm going to trim your mane! In a manner that's not at all fashionable!"
"Oh! I think I've got it now. Well, the first thing I would do is immediately put up a quick ward against conic blasts, then I would try to use the terrain to get into a flanking position..."
"No, no, no Twilight, that's all wrong," said Rarity. "You have to SAY something first! The very first thing they taught us was that a sharp tongue cuts far deeper than a sharp horn!"
Twilight was unfamiliar with any studies from the New Equestrian Journal of Medicine that indicated a correlation between tongue sharpness and magical aptitude. She was also beginning to suspect that Rarity's self-defense training had not been quite as thorough as Rarity believed.
"OK, let's try this again from the top. I'm the attacker and I'm coming at you with a weapon, and I say something like 'Grr, you call yourself a unicorn? You fight like a farm pony! Grr!'" Rarity waved the scissors around in what was probably supposed to be a threatening manner.
Twilight weighed her possible retorts. She had skipped the chapter on trash talk in her copy of 'Dirty Tricks and Unsportsmanlike Conduct: A Combat Pragmatist's Guide' but she would obviously have to make sure to read it later in case it showed up on some future exam. Finally she settled on a response.
"How appropriate, you fight like a mule!"
Rarity's eyes widened with shock and the scissors fell to the ground.
"How could you? You... You think I fight like an ugly old mule? Why I've never been so offended in all my life!"
Twilight's efforts to explain that there were actually several schools of martial arts that were derived from mule culture fell on deaf ears. Rarity threw her out of the boutique to stew for the remainder of the afternoon.
Twilight's first few sparring matches against other unicorns went poorly. They usually did for newbies, Reinolds was quick to point out after an especially painful loss. It wasn't that she didn't have the raw power the other trainees did, but she wasn't quick enough on her hooves. In the library she was free to sit back and spend a few minutes considering, for example, whether the extra power a hexagonal deflection charm offered outweighed the improved efficiency of a Ponderer's All-Purpose Pentagram when it came to avoiding an energy blast composed of 70-80% frost affinity. Stopping to do so when another unicorn was actively trying to hit her with one was borderline suicidal. Reinolds was quick to remind her that while in theory there was no difference between theory and practice, in practice there was.
Twilight was if nothing else a quick learner. She picked up the techniques and fighting styles of the other fighters she watched, and never made the same mistake twice. It wasn't very long until she'd learned enough to start fighting opponents with years more experience than her to a draw. Not long after that, a lucky shot blew her opponent out of the ring and halfway across the gym. Twilight had claimed her first win by knockout.
From that moment forward, there was no stopping her.

Mom took me out to chase my ball this morning. I love that. It's our morning ritual and means she's getting me ready for work. Then we were in the car for awhile. When we stopped, we went into a bank where Mom stood at the window for a very long time. I "post"ed behind her like I'm supposed to. Lots of people came through the line while I was sitting there. Some people are so rude. They just stare at me. Sheesh. I wanna say whhaaaa? yay!!! You went out with the Zeusies.. this is so exciting (L) Did you take photos?

The New Zealand Sikh Society was founded on 3 October 1964, with Balwant Singh Nagra elected as the first president. A year later, Karam Singh Basi, on the behalf of the Country Section, presented the the Sikh Society with a copy of Guru Granth Sahib.
It was crucial that a Gurudwara be built in New Zealand, if the sikh faith in New Zealand was to be securely established. Five acres of land near Te Rapa, Hamilton was purchased by the Society, but the District Council opposed building application.
Finally in September 1976, Kuldeep Singh Thandi, Harbans Singh Randhawa, Joala Singh Belling, Phuman Singh Ark and Bachitter Kaur laid a foundation stone. A year later, the Gurudwara was opened on 19 May 1977. This impressive structure, with its gleming minaret, sited on flat green pastures in the Waikato, evoked much curiosity from travellers along the main State Highway 1 in the 1970's.
Of much more revelance to local Punjabis was that it provided a custom-built space not only for religious but also for community activities. The links between Te Rapa Gurudwara and other New Zealand Indians was highlighted when it was opened by Gulabbahi Moral, president of NZICA.

Here's the one good pic so far. I've had to do some bits and bobs to finish it off but over-all I'm pretty happy with this!
Tag Archives: headdress
Akasha, Queen of the Damned headdress
Little by little I've been working on a headdress for a customer who is attending a Hallowe'en party as Akasha Queen of the Damned. If you're unsure of what I'm talking about then you can see some stills from the film here and the headdress I'm doing a version of is the one with pendants and coins on it.
It's been one of those projects that has required a lot of looking at pics from the film, has required a few coats of thinking about, and it's underway and should be finished by the end of the week.
As usual, early on in the process it looked pretty ….bleak…. then I found some pendants that totally rock and even though they're not actual Turkoman pendants (as they would have used up the whole of the customer's budget before I was even started) they're doing a damn fine job of looking cool.
And because I'm rubbish at documenting what I'm working on as I do it there are no pics yet, but you can be absolutely sure that once it's done the pictures will be here.
September Sneak Peek
So it's been a long time coming but here are pics of some new items made since the school holidays ended. The new term of school means earlier nights for the children and more motivation for me to get going with new ideas.
Autumn colours are always a big favourite of mine anyway, and are so fitting at this time of year.
And last of all for tonight another headdress, this time one with lots of extra bling and ornamentation taken from my extensive stash
I'll be adding them to the Etsy store momentarily so you'll further pics and better description there.
Tonight I started work on a purple headdress that will have many many peacock feathers once it's done, but tonights job was to get some extra embellishments sewn onto a medallion. I'll keep you posted!
Sneak Peek
Sneak Peek
Crystal Headdresses
Today I am mostly playing with old crystals from chandelier drapes.
I am making some very pretty headdresses, simple but absolutely gorgeous.
I'll keep ya posted!
Headdress Drama
Yesterday produced a flurry of Etsy activity that was….interesting.
The upshot is that this piece sold to someone going to The Secret Garden festival in the UK. What was even better about it was that the customer was on Etsy looking for inspiration for something she was making and decided to buy my headdress instead. Yay!
So first of all I get an email asking how quickly I can get it sent to her as she's in the UK and she assumed I was in the US. Nope, I'm here in good old Blighty. I can send it today (yesterday IRL). Ok, customer doesn't have a Paypal account…… That's ok, I can send an invoice and she can send via Paypal without setting up an account. DOH! There are to-ings and fro-ings that I won't go into but eventually the sale is made, the price is paid and I get it in the post at 3pm guaranteed to get to her the next day (today).
As would be expected her last email to me was to check that the item was as good as it looked – I assured her that it would be better than it looked in the photo as photos are not my strong suit……
The feedback was worth all the online fretting – "She just arrived and she's GORGEOUS, thank you so much!!"
Ah, I love a happy customer…….
Sneak Peek…..
So the photos are rubbish and were taken earlier without proper staging – I just wanted to get a few pics of this one up as I am soooo pleased with it. It does need a little adjusting, unless you have a smallish head (not freakishly small, just not massive) but the adjustments are going to be easily done.
After various members of Covert Bling tried it on for me tonight I can assure you that if you have long hair this looks sumptuous and I shall make sure to do something that is equally as sumptuous for those with shorter hair.
And, I think I may have found a model for my head-wear instead of Dolly Head…. Sam? You know who you are!
My Mucha-esque inspired Pearl and Chain Headdress:
I love this and want to make more more more, and have textile versions planned too…..
The work of Alphonse Mucha inspires me always and although to some it may be hokey and quite possibly pop because of his popularity (no pun intended), I don't care. The beautiful, sumptuous, flowing and sensual nature of his work is just irresistible. Who doesn't want to look like a goddess? Really?
In my bedroom I have a signed Bob Masse print of one of Mucha's Autumn pictures and each time I look at it I wonder why I don't have more Mucha prints framed in my home. I'm just an Art Nouveau freak at heart. When I look at the peas growing in my garden I love the way the pea shoot tendrils snake and curve around one another….I love the way that Mucha romanticises women and their forms and so it cannot help but escape into my work.
I'm happy because this piece has been made with a mixture of contemporary and vintage pieces, and this exact item cannot be reproduced. So there will be only one….. I'm happy because it has been weighted to it perfectly on your head without the need for clips and grips (unless you're going to do some radical moves) and I think that as a Bridal Wear piece, this is just awesome….
Once I get good photos it'll go up on Etsy. I'll keep you posted. xx

In a world of all machines, questioning your purpose is a recipe for being captured, reprogrammed and having all the essence that made you "you" erased. For the ones in charge of this world obedience is the rule of law, but for those who believe there is more are fighting to find the truth and the Gods.
The above is the premise of Archeologists of Shadows from Septagon Studios. With part two out now aptly named Archeologists of Shadows Vol. 2: Once A Nightmare that shows the lengths the two alter-egos Alix and Baltimo have to go through to find the Gods and stop the endless cycle that is destroying their world.
Way back in January I had the chance to read and review the first part of the graphic novel. Writer Lara Fuentes and artist Patricio Clarey are bringing the second chapter in the saga of Alix and Baltimo, the alter egos, as they search the Oniric World for the Gods of old.
One of the best things I love about the Archeologists of Shadows graphic novels is the artwork. Clarey has imbued every page just looks amazing as they go from close-ups on the characters to grand, scenic shots.
One of my favorite pages was one with an alter-ego on a rock outcropping as this huge tsunami wave is coming at Alix. The birds are flying above and there's no clear way she is going to make it out of there. Scenes like that just impel the story to move and create this intensity as they fight to overcome their nightmares and find the gods. All of the amazing artwork just blows you away with how vivid and colorful each page is.
Speaking of the story, I loved the tone of the second volume over the first one. The first volume laid the groundwork about the religion of the land and how oppressive it was; either you fall in line or get reeducated to fall in line. Fuentes uses the second volume as a look into the minds and souls of who Alix and Baltimo are.
Their journey must be completed if the Archeologists and the Resistance have any chance of saving the world they know. That journey is answered a bit more in the second volume, as this one cracks the shell some and things begin to clear up. Fuentes even throws in an ending that left me with some questions on how things are going to go down next.
Archeologists of Shadows Vol. 2: Once A Nightmare is an all-around amazing comic that combines such a great story, characters and beautiful artwork into an enjoyable read. It keeps you wondering and questioning what is real and what is false. I am looking forward to the next part to see if Alix and Baltimo manage to find the Gods and save their world. A great read and I highly suggest it.

Saham is located between the coast and the Hajar Mountains and the wilayat has plenty of fresh running water and spectacular mountain scenery. It is perhaps most famous for the area known as Seih al Taybat, which is where His Majesty, Sultan Qaboos holds one of his royal camps whilst on his annual inspection of the regions.
The camps provide an opportunity for the residents of the region to discuss their concerns for their towns and villages with the Sultan and listen to his advice and directives. Saham is also famous for camel and horse racing, which are popular holiday and weekend sports.
The active ingredient of Epimedium is icariin, which actually has many properties quite similar to those of the pharmaceutical products Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra.
