Another contact sheet points up the deliberateness of her editorial agenda. Child with toy hand grenade in Central Park NYC 1962 is another of her most famous images. While most of the other frames on the sheet show a typically jaunty 7-year-old voguing for the camera lady, the familiar corner shot, appearing to seethe with all the repressed anxiety of the Cuban Missile Crisis era and beyond, underscores Arbus' instinct to excavate theatrical and mythic significance out of seemingly arbitrary encounters. The subjects Arbus chose to photograph, and the photographs she chose to print, are in some sense fragments of a prescribed story, illustrations of a dark but essentially utopian narrative, testified to by the voluminous rationalizations the artist left behind in her letters, diaries, notebooks and essays. It's as if Arbus' imagination and intellect were so busy and anxious to contain everything that she was never able to transcend them in order to experience the photography of engagement she seemed to yearn for so desperately. It's an underlying note of frustration that permeates her photographs and writing, lending coherence to her oeuvre but stopping short of fixing the world.
Arbus, Fire Eater at a Carnival, Palisades Park, N.J. 1956 (LACMA)Fans of Arbus' work will have their conception of her range expanded and fleshed out, and I can only imagine the impact on a first-time viewer. "Revelatory" wouldn't be inappropriate. The photos alone are enough to knock socks off, and the ephemera — installed in dim, museological splendor — is nearly overwhelming.
Revelations" is an exhibition of great historical import, and everybody knows it. Every art venue in Los Angeles seems to be jostling to associate itself with the big show. No less than 40 exhibitions of photography are set to compete with or expand upon the Arbus "Revelations," including shows by Henry Horenstein at Paul Kopeikin, Annie Leibovitz at the Pacific Design Center, Robert Mapplethorpe curated by Catherine Opie at Marc Selwyn, Helmut Newton at Gagosian Gallery, Peter Beard at Fahey/Klein, Patrick McMullan at Earl McGrath Gallery, Paul Graham at Karyn Lovegrove, Keith Boadwee at Peres Projects, Hirsch Perlman at Blum & Poe, Jack Butler, Eileen Cowin and Grant Mudford at USC Fisher Gallery, Beat Streuli at LACE, Glen E. Friedman at Sixspace, and so on. And that's just the galleries! Santa Monica Auctions has scheduled a special photo-themed sale this Saturday, Feb. 28, at 6 p.m. The Getty already has a show up of recent acquisitions by Eugène Atget, Brett Weston, William Garnett and Milton Rogovin, and on March 16 will open "Photographers of Genius at the Getty," culling 38 photographers from its voluminous archives (including Arbus, August Sander and Weegee) in celebration of the photo collection's 20th anniversary. The Long Beach Museum of Art is hosting a traveling Smithsonian exhibit entitled Women of Our Time featuring photographic portraits of notable women from the 20th century, ranging from Helen Keller to Janis Joplin and including such renowned photographers as Richard Avedon and Irving Penn.
Arbus, Two Girls in Matching Bathing Suits, Coney Island, N.Y. 1967 (MOCA)But the two most intriguing Arbus spinoff shows are the most directly related and the most antithetical, respectively. "Street Credibility" at MOCA's Geffen Contemporary is a complex thematic extrapolation of Arbus, her influences and her contemporaries guest-curated by Mike Kelley, while the Hammer's "The Last Picture Show: Artists Using Photography, 1960–1982" covers a divergent stream of photographic practice, one largely concerned with photography as a tool to document ephemeral actions or conceptual gestures. As its rather imperious subtitle suggests, many of the artists included disdained the preoccupations of Arbus and other photographers using photography — namely, formal concerns of composition and timing, and a theatrical and journalistic engagement with the world.
This practice of defining art by what it is not isn't as dry as it might sound, although about a third of the artists in "The Last Picture Show" definitely should have laid off the always inauspicious coupling of the Phenomenology 101 reading list and the bong. The rest of the show breaks about evenly between the funny (Fischli & Weiss' LOL 1979 "Sausage Series") and the can't-make-boring-ugly-art-even-by-trying (Bernd and Hilla Becher's deadpan industrial architectural grids, or Sarah Charlesworth's April 21, 1978 comparing allocation of newspaper space to the kidnapping of Italian politician Aldo Moro). There's some great art here, too: an original copy of the fake newspaper published by Yves Klein which first disseminated his signature Leap Into the Void performance/photograph of 1960, Ed Ruscha's Every Building on Sunset Stripand Various Small Fires books, and Giovanni Anselmo's Entering the Work, which stood out in MOCA's "Zero to Infinity: Arte Povera 1962–1972" just 17 months ago. Nonetheless, the curatorial premise of "The Last Picture Show," which originated at the Walker Center in Minneapolis, is vague and unconvincing. There's plenty to look at and think about, but the suggestion that such work was part of a Zeitgeist that culminated in the ho-hum '80s appropriations of Richard Prince, Sherrie Levine and Barbara Kruger is insulting to both artists and audience.
Theo Ehret, Unknown Wresterrs, 1970 (MOCA)Mike Kelley's "Street Credibility" at MOCA is more precisely curated. The show arranges more than 200 photos by Arbus, Larry Clark, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander and other like-minded "post-documentary" photographers (including "apartment" wrestling photographer Theo Ehret, subject of Kelley and Cameron Jamie's ridiculously monumental Taschen book Exquisite Mayhem) into a series of overlapping thematic sequences. In falling short of transcending Otherness in the world, Arbus left behind a daunting catalog of sociopolitical observations dealing largely with power relationships between her subjects, and between her subjects and herself. This complex network of imbalances can be traced through the locked, shifting, veiled or averted gazes of the people in her pictures, and Kelley uses these visual signals to map out 17 distinct motifs in Arbus' work and the work of her forebears, contemporaries and successors.

John Harrigan: Volunteer rescuers, inside and out, and a pass on the Northern Pass
Hearings on the Northern Pass proposal drew jam-packed crowds in Concord, Plymouth, Whitefield and Colebrook.
Evidently people all over the state, especially down bellow the notches, are waking up to the dire implications of this project, and the fact that New Hampshire does not need the power (we export around 75 percent as much electricity as we use), we don't want the power line, and we won't get the power, which will mainly benefit the Hartford-New York City markets. We are nothing but a doormat.
How to bury the power line? The utilities pushing Northern Pass have claimed all along that it would be too expensive to bury it, even as similar major projects in Maine and New York are doing just that.
None of the speakers said anything about Northern Pass claims of its hydro energy being "clean and green," so I'll say it (again) here.
Let's see, basic high school biology 101. Trees sequester carbon and give off oxygen. Hydro-Quebec has flooded hundreds of thousands of acres in the far north, drowning billions of standing trees and other vegetation, which are now decomposing and emitting carbon, not to mention mercury.
- - - - - -
A recent Union Leader editorial rightly commended trained rescuers and citizen volunteers who are always at the ready to spring forth when an incredibly taxing mountain rescue is needed, often under the most severe conditions. The editorial mentioned several stellar examples of this professional-citizen symbiotic relationship, to me the epitome of the New Hampshire way.
People seated nearby immediately rushed to her aid, while emergency and medical personnel, many of whom were in the crowd, helped stabilize her for transport to Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital.
The crowd, the speakers and the U.S. Department of Energy officials at the head table gave the woman a standing ovation - meant equally for those who rushed to help - as EMT personnel wheeled her out to the ambulance.

The artnet Magazine was the first online art publication. It was run by Walter Robinson from 1996 to 2012.
All articles published until June 2012 will remain available here to our visitors.
Art has not progresed as far as one might think. In the age of the culture industry, where the flux of capital has given us a proliferation of juvenile art objects, the exhibition by Urs Fischer in Berlin stands as an example of the immobility -- some will call it continuity -- that prevails in the contemporary art world.

-- more debt let's talk more debt.
The threat of the fiscal clip his looming investors are piling into Muni bonds where it's right now our tax exempt.
In even though they become really popular our next guest says there's still value to be found joining -- -- -- senior editor at parents.
You know -- Jack though they are very popular so the prices have gone up.
Yields have -- Down.
Yeah as you know sometimes on Wall Street everyone has the same good -- -- at the same time and it's no longer a good idea exactly.
Everyone thinks that they're gonna get in on tax free bonds now next year tax rates of job and they'll be suddenly more demand for these bonds the problem is.
That's already priced in right to be very careful Gordon of the tax free bond market now so.
-- our -- I wrote my column if you're getting in late at this stage he can't just -- is scattered approach have to pick and choose where the remaining.
But -- we get into your column let's talk about though this this notion that you we might see a tax increase or tax changes to the Muni bond world.
Right now interest tax bring that might not end up that way women funnels and -- fiscal -- A lot of variables they're there could be something different that happens -- Muni bond interest.
Her for viewers -- -- -- these are bonds issued by states local governments and the deal is.
-- the interest that they pay is tax free for investors not supposed to lower the borrowing rate for these states and municipalities right.
Now something could change however if that's something that changes if if the deal is broken but existing bonds get grandfathered and -- those bonds suddenly become more valuable in the eyes of investors -- some people are buying bonds thinking hey if that happens next year.
And the existing Muni market his grandfather -- along these bonds and everyone else wants in the prices of most shoot up.
Continue got -- -- like you know little analysis there why not at that point just go by Ford debt it's junk but it's giving you 7% there.
Even with after tax I'm still coming out more in my pocket and I am -- you -- it's only -- and -- one point some percent.
Yeah and the and the numbers on this potential tax tax change -- really make you scratch your head right do we tax them in order to raise.
More revenue but then if that makes it more expensive for municipalities to borrow.
Then where is that extra money that they need coming from all that coming from the taxpayers -- he basically pulled out of one pocket put it into and out.
Actually becomes very -- good conversation we have -- -- your tips.
And we'll put them up but some of the things that I thought were really interesting is that you sit -- by all home state bonds.
You get tax treatment beneficial tax -- when you buy home state that.
Seen by -- state and you get the federal tax break right let's say you're in New York -- -- -- in New York bond he had the federal and the state tax break in New York.
The only thing -- you wanna be -- diversify from state to state because you wanna be careful about.
You know if if your state falls in the financial trouble now just how much you wanna put your home state depends on the finances and your home state right and how high the tax rates are -- and how deep the Muni market is to -- what.
You know in New York I think you put.
Up to 70% of your portfolio home state -- some of those states now Connecticut Rhode Island.
Did not not court -- help my economy.
Forty to 50% and start shopping and other states really quickly is that to run what I find these bonds that these are hard to come by these days.
If if you -- I'd like a a big discount firm like a Schwab or Fidelity you can call up and -- -- -- you have to know what you want.
Most people and -- that situation this is not a market where you wanna go to Lana for not experienced.
Yet to find an experienced municipal bond broker to go through that finish precedent -- bond -- that they don't play with -- taxes on it.
-- their industry -- out thank you very much for being here.

"In the heyday of sailing ships, all war ships and many freighters carried iron cannons. Those cannons fired round iron cannon balls. It was necessary to keep a good supply near the cannon. However, how to prevent them from rolling about the deck? The best storage method devised was a square-based pyramid with one ball on top, resting on four resting on nine, which rested on sixteen. Thus, a supply of 30 cannon balls could be stacked in a small area right next to the cannon. There was only one problem...how to prevent the bottom layer from sliding or rolling from under the others. The solution was a metal plate called a "Monkey" with 16 round indentations. However, if this plate were made of iron, the iron balls would quickly rust to it. The solution to the rusting problem was to make "Brass Monkeys." Few landlubbers realize that brass contracts much more and much faster than iron when chilled. Consequently, when the temperature dropped too far, the brass indentations would shrink so much that the iron cannonballs would come right off the monkey. Thus, it was quite literally, "Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey."" - Albert Jack, "Red Herrings & White Elephants The Origins of the Phrases We Use Every Day" (New York: Harper Collins Publishers, 2004), page 12. Start up the southeast corner of the buttress climbing great edges and patina past 2 bolts onto a stance. From this stance balance your way up the main face of the wall keeping your cool before clipping bolt 4. After bolt 4 the business hits as you step out right, and find a good crack that takes wires and cams. Be sure to take in the wonderful position in the canyon when you reach the anchors! A good warm up or cool down if you're in the area. This route climbs the mottled face 100ft east of "Castaway". The crux seems to be at 3/4rd's height just past the last bolt.
100ft east of "Castaway". Directly after the 3rd class used to gain the ledges east of The Sail.
4 bolts protect the face while wires and a rack to 1.5" supplement the rest. Rappel the route.
I always thought a brass monkey was a beer with a splash of orange juice. Edit www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=brass%20monkey
Alas! I really wanted to believe it. Snopes on Brass Monkeys "Somebody's fanciful imagination is at work cooking up spurious etymologies again. In short, this origin for the phrase 'cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey' is nonsense because..."
haha touche Perin! Better luck next time for the naming game I guess! Regardless the route is a fun romp up surprisingly good stone. It was drilled on lead with bolts 1,3,4 drilled from free stances and bolt 2 from a hook. Trying to keep the ground up tradition alive in little cottonwood. Have fun!

Tasty Tuesdays- Take 1
posted by engagedandrunning on Primary Menu
Veggie Burger Salad w/ Strawberries
So I headed back to my faithful veggie burger on a salad! This time I even added a pickle on the side… ahh the good life! So this salad had everything on it… lettuce (which I need to eat A LOT of us because I bought a massive things from Sam's Club), olives, fat free shredded mozzarella cheese, Morning Star Veggie Burger, and a hardboiled egg. It didn't seem right to put salad dressing on a burger that day so I actually topped it off with a teaspoon of Breakstone Fat Free Sour Cream! DELICIOUS! Seriously, the best fat free sour cream I have ever had.
Then I ate my masterpiece. I didn't finish the entire thing but needed something sweet afterward… so I ate a few big and delicious strawberries!
Chicken Sausage and saladI had a soccer game this past Sunday that my parents attended! It is so nice to have my parents there to support me just like they did when I was a tiny little thing. They placed themselves perfectly in the spectator section so my dad was able to offer up helpful words of advice while I was on the field. I remember getting frustrated by this in high school but I found it VERY helpful! It is amazing what other people can see on the field from a different view point.After the game we headed back to our house for dinner! Tim and I cooked up some chicken sausage from Sam's Club (which we are OBSESSED with) and had peppers and onions on the side. The boys made sandwiches and the girls had them "naked". My mom had brought over a tasty salad that we enjoyed with the sausage and I made some guacamole as an appetizer. That disappeared too quickly and I didn't even get to snap a picture but you can just take my word for it that it was delicious!Chicken sausage makes for a great family meal!
100% Steel Oats for Breakfast
So clearly we had a very successful trip to Sam's club based on my other meals! While we were there I also spotted these 100% steel oats (less than 200 calories) breakfast treat in the frozen section. A girl at work has been eating these for a few weeks and I eye it up every time I see her coming out of the kitchen so I bought them to give them a try. They are "Good Food Made Simple" and they have all natural ingredients. They come in a box of 8 individual wrapped servings on the oats and all you go in unwrap and pop in the microwave for 3 minutes.
Now I will say that they are not as sweet as the tasty instant oatmeal that comes in all sorts of flavors now but they are good and very filling. Any time I can find a breakfast that will keep me full is a win for me. Plus, it's an easy thing to travel to work with which is more than an added bonus.
What I love most is that the box of 8 comes in 2 different flavors. 4 with honey and 4 with berries… which is perfect for me because sometimes I am feeling a sweet honey flavor and other times I just want come fruit. I may even put some extra fruit in it next time I have it!
Egg Salad
Tim loves egg salad! We don't eat it often but anytime I start to hard-boil an egg I hear a little voice from the living room saying… "are you making egg salad with that" usually it wasn't my plan but it is delicious and it makes him happy so we almost always do!
While Tim loves to EAT egg salad I should mention here he is not a huge fan of making it… he claims that I make it better which I guess I do make it with love because I know how much he likes to eat it and I don't mind at all!
So this time around we made the egg salad with this mayo that the lady at the Asian market recommended. She recommended it for potato salad but Tim said go for it and I'm glad we did… just delicious! I have no idea what brand of mayo or anything because it just came in an unlabeled bottle with a red cap. If I find out exactly what it is- I will let you know!
So in our egg salad we put about 5 hard-boiled eggs, mayo, a little blast of regular mustard (we use Frischs yellow mustard), a small amount of vinegar and a little bit of sugar! Let it sit and get cold overnight and it makes a heck of a lunch! One time I did make this was Greek yogurt instead of mayo and I think I may have used a little bit of that delicious Breakstone Sour Cream but this new mayo was a nice treat!
A Special Drink
I should mention here that I don't really have any drinking habits… well I mean besides my love obsession with red wine. I don't drink coffee on a daily basis, I'm not a big tea fan, and I try not to drink pop/soda if I can help it… but every now and then I do like a taste (especially Fresca)! But when I travel to Miami for work I always get spoiled with a delicious espresso beverage… oh the joys of working on an espresso business.
Now I can't go crazy and do a serious straight up espresso. I get it with milk and well a little bit ok I lied.. A LOT of sugar. In Spanish they are called a "cortadito" and this lovely woman makes the most delicious ones! She knows I can't really speak a lick of They are some serious business and can keep you up all night long but oooo I love them. I have no idea how she makes them so delicious but if I wanna give it a try google it and see what happens!
And I managed to sneak in a 3 mile run yesterday before I headed to the airport! I did 2 miles outside and 1 mile on the treadmill (in the opposite order haha). It was great to meet my mom and see her before I headed out of the cold and into the sunshine!!

Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value Fuel Economy (city/hwy) Quick Facts
There are no 2002 Mercury Sable reviews. However, the following might be helpful: User ReviewsThe community thinks...
by JW from VA on 04/29/2004.
Trim: 2002 Mercury Sable GS, Owned 2 years.
Plenty of interior room, huge trunk, very safe. It has some
I bought a used 2002 in 2002. It had about 22,000 miles on it. It is the most unreliable car I've ever purchased. Multiple electrical problems. I replaced the windshield wiper motor 3 times in the first 2 months. I don't even remember how many relays have had to be replaced. I've had to have it towed to the mechanic b/c it wouldn't start. The passenger side of the axle had to be replaced. The interior door panels are coming apart etc, etc, etc... This car was undrivable for at least 6 of the past 12 months. I guess that's one way to keep the miles low. In town mileage is horrible (approx. 10-15 mpg).
Overall review:
It's working fine at the moment so I hope we are through the kinks, but I don't think I'd buy another one after this experience. It's left a bad taste in my mouth. I can't wait to be able to trade it in, but that won't be for awhile considering it's trade in value is only about $4900 and I owe more than twice that price on it. All I have to say is thank the Lord for good mechanics and extended warranties (even if they don't cover everything). I don't know if you should buy one or not. The other reviews look OK. I guess I just got a lemon.

The Farmer's Son FVP172
The classic dirty joke about the "Farmer's Son" gets made even graphic in this sexy tale of a city boy going head-to-head with a seductive country boy. It features one of the most anticipated scenes of the year where legendary topman Jason Adonis bottoms for the first time in his career. When his car breaks down on a deserted country road, Erik Rhodes knocks on the door of a stranger, seeking shelter, having no idea the sexual escapades in store for him. Logan Steele allows him to stay under one condition: Stay away from his son, Jessie Zane… or else.
Starring Falcon Exclusive Erik Rhodes. Also starring Jason Adonis, Jessie Zane, Logan Steele, Steve Boston, Blu Kennedy, Jamie Donovan, Zackary Pierce and Patrick Fisher.
Scene 1
Jessie and his three friends Zackary Pierce, Steve Boston and Patrick Fisher, take a dip in the pool out back -- without their bathing suits. Jessie begs Erik to join them, but he wisely refuses. Jessie goes after him, leaving Zackary, Steve and Patrick to their own devices and in no time the three quickly begin having sex, culminating in an impressive double-penetration and generous cumshots all around.
Scene 2
Erik Rhodes gets some bad news about his car from the mechanic, Jason Adonis. Seems he's going to have to order some parts and it will take a few days at least. Jason makes it up to Erik by letting him fuck his tight hole. After rimming his ass properly, Jason lowers himself on Erik's huge uncut cock. They two muscle studs go at it on the back of Erik's truck under the sweltering sun in a historic scene that's too hot to be missed.
Scene 3
Meanwhile, Logan Steele is out hunting when he finds two delicious pieces of game in the woods: Young Blu Kennedy and Jamie Donovan. It's daddy meets boy times two as the gruff tattooed daddy fucks Blu's and Jamie's nubile young bodies.
Scene 4
Jessie Zane is doing some hunting himself: He's still focused on defying his father and seducing his house guest, Erik Rhodes. So he hatches a plan that if he succeeds will get his ass filled with Erik Rhode's massive cock … but could get them both in deep trouble with Logan Steele.

This RP is set in a universe that, for most of its existence, has been nearly identical to ours. It is set in the city of Austin, Texas, though we may move locations later depending on story events. We will begin just a few hours before a massive and mysterious event that will forever change the Earth. To most people, this event will be little more than a bright flash of light with few real effects beyond causing some traffic accidents. However, for a very small number of individuals, it will grant them abilities that could only be described as supernatural. The abilities this event grants varies from individual to individual, based on their psyche and desired, though to the outside observer, the event would appear to behave without rhyme or reason. Immediately after the event, those who are open with their abilities will be almost immediately captured by various governments both for study, and to keep these supernatural effects silent, as they want to prevent mass panic. Using the media to cover up the existence of these people, they will manage to keep the general population unaware of the event's supernatural effects. They will then continue to fervently hunt down anyone with these powers, all while being careful to keep it quiet.
You may choose any type of (non-overpowered) ability, as long as it is not utterly ridiculous. Acceptable abilities could still potentially be rather powerful, but for the first part of the story, the real conflict will be with figuring out how to use the abilities and how to remain hidden from the larger powers that would hunt them. I would ask that your character(s) not have perfect control over their abilities in the very beginning. The spirit of the story (in the beginning) is to show how our characters deal with the dramatic impact these abilities would have on every aspect of their lives, and the danger they would bring. To that end, it would be more effective if your character has friends, family, or so on that could be used against them, or would be otherwise affected by this change. It is not required that you make a character like this, just recommended. You may also wish to introduce a weakness into the abilities your character was granted, especially if they are on the higher end of the scale in terms of power.
Character Sheet:
Abilities: (Give a description of the advantages of your abilities, as well as any disadvantages)
Skills: (List any other skills your character has not related to their powers):
Rules: Pretty standard RP rules. No being OP, disrespectful to others, etc... Have fun, and make sure to give any suggestions for how to make it better.
Accepted Characters:
Name: Samantha Wolfe
Age: 17
Height: 5' 5"
Gender: Female
Advantages- The event transformed Sam into a werewolf. She gains much improved strength, speed, and heightened senses. She is immune to disease and can heal injuries drastically faster and more thoroughly than a normal person, to the point that only very high caliber bullets to the right places or other types of very severe injuries could kill her. In her human form, she retains some of her additional strength, speed, and senses, but nowhere near as much as in her werewolf form.
Disadvantages- Sam has a deadly weakness to silver. It stunts her natural healing and produces a burning sensation on contact. She also has a high potential for losing control. If sufficiently provoked, she could easily slip into an unwanted transformation or lose control of her actions to her basic instincts. A full moon will also force her to transform and increases her likelihood of losing control, though it does not necessarily force her instincts to take over.
Skills: One notable thing about Sam is her high IQ, as she has sailed through school with near-perfect scores all of her life, with little effort. Aside from academics, she has taken interest in computers and programming, and has a good deal of technical knowledge.
Appearance: Sam is a Caucasian female below whose appearance could best be described as average. She has medium length black hair and green eyes. (After becoming a werewolf, she gains significant muscle mass in her human form)
Werewolf Appearance:
Background: Sam was born in Georgia, only moving to Austin when she was 15 after her father gained a job opportunity there. For the most part, her life has been hardly exceptional. Her parents both work, earning enough money to put the family firmly in the middle class. She has two siblings, an older sister and a younger brother. Her brother has a tendency to annoy her, but otherwise she gets along well with her family. Her life is fairly mundane, but Sam is content with it. She is not very social and has only a few friends in school, especially since she has only lived in the state for two years. She is currently a senior in high school who plans to go straight into college to pursue a career in technology.
Name: Jack Roman
Age: 26
Height: 5' 11"
Gender: Male
Abilities: "Bioelectric Binary Communication" (I.e. "speaking" with electronic devices) Using the excess electric output naturally released by all human beings (The Aura) almost like a giant universal remote. Able to turns lights on/off, make streetlights green, have cellphones call or do other things (smartphones) etc.
Weakness- This ability is directly linked to his mental state of mind. If he is tired or overworked, it may not function. Getting suprised or scared, panicked, excited may cause "accidental" communication. This is also possible when in a dream state since after effects of a nightmare often resulted in blown lightbulbs, fried microwaves, and sometimes the occasional blackout of a city block. Consistent use and more complex devices (exe computers, smartphones, cars) require more concentration and result in more ability needed.
Skills: Jack was a huge gamer in highschool and only got more into gaming in college. His hand eye cordination, quick reflexes and quick thinking are what helps him make up for his lack of strength. He won't be winning any foot races either, but he is okay at sneaking around if needed. Whatever he learned, he learned from the various games he's played most of his life.
Name: Richard Green
Age: 21
Height: 5'9''
Gender: Male
Abilities: Shape shifting
Advantages- He is able to change the shape of his right arm (to begin with I'm hoping to work on his ability as we go) to mimic something blade or a hardened shield. His ability makes his body very agile meaning he can move quite quickly and preform acrobatic movements.
Disadvantages- He dose not always control what he shifts into and it takes a lot of mental power to stop from shifting so he is often weaker staying in his normal form.
Skills: (List any other skills your character has not related to their powers): Free running, Some hand to hand and fairly intelligent.
Background: Growing up he had a lot of social issues as well as identity issues this made it hard for him to interact with others. His mother died of an over dose when he was young and his farther, Who was also an addict, Abandoned him at the age of 13. floating in and out of care he never real found his place in the world. He raised himself for the most part moving out of care at 16 and doing what he needed to survive alone. The past few years have been quite good to him and he has been able to hold down a job and an apartment but he still doesn't quite know who he is and his purpose in life.
Name: Jace Taylor
Age: 20
Height: 5'4"
Gender: Male
Abilities:Mind sculpting: Anything that he can imagine, he can bring into the world.
Pros: He can bring anything that he can think of into the world.
Cons: They aren't physical, and can only go as far as three meters away from him. Making it real takes a lot of concentration and general knowledge of what he tries to make.
Skills: Strategic, creative, and artistic.
Appearance: Jace is a skinny guy with short brown hair and brown eyes. He has a large purple splotch of a birthmark that goes from his temple to his chin.
Background: Jace was an angry kid when he was in school. The kids used to tease him about his birth mark, and he got into fights with those kids as a result. When a kid got hurt badly in a fight, a teacher decided to give Jace something that he could direct his anger at: art. Jace soon stopped getting angry at the kids and became friends with them instead. After He graduated, he moved out on his own to become an artist.
Name: Dante Mavick
Age: 21
Height: 5' 11''
Gender: Male
Appearance: Dante has medium length messy brown hair that comes down a little less then half way over his forehead, half over his ear and a only a little longer in the back. He has a fit build for he prefers to stay as active as he can going for daily jogs in the morning. Also practicing his free running regularly, this has left him with a toned body shape. Before the event Dante had dark blue eyes but after as a side affect he has dark red eyes with flecks of gold scattered around the iris of his eye.
Dragon form appearance:
Its essentially that picture but its just not that buff and much more dragon like, When in this form Dante stands at 6'8''. IE: the head has a snout or other wise just a much more dragon like head, he has scales instead of what ever you would call that. The hand has five fingers that have sharp nails making them effective claws but also still effective hands. And as was stated just not as...meaty I guess.
Abilities: Dante was a normal human being before the flash, but afterwards he was introduced to a new form atop his human form, his dragon form. In his dragon form he stands at around 6'8'', he has hard red scales that register small caliber rounds ineffective, they can resist a few rounds from most standard issue rifles but too much and they will pierce his scales. Also while in this form he has increased strength, he can fly and control over flames, he is able to conjure flames at will, while also able to manipulate fires. While in his human form he maintains this abilities with fire and his bodies natural temperature has been increased along with his tolerance to heat, this is even more so in his other form. Dante also enjoys a boosted immune system making him immune to many diseases.
Draw backs: This form introduced a want to control everyone, a want to conquer and dominate every living thing, a want to wreak havoc and a thirst for blood. He is constantly trying to keep in control of himself and this new form. His dragon form is very hard to conceal and his magic is uncontrollable, if he does not control his emotions his magic will begin to conjure and even worse he could take on his other form and lose control. Also his other form has changed the natural coloration of his eyes to a red with flecks of gold which he also has trouble hiding.
Skills: Dante is a skilled fighter due to the past and present fights he has gotten into, the majority were not started by him. He has taken up free running as a hobby finding much enjoyment in it, from this he has become rather agile. Dante is also a good shot from going to the shooting range with his father. Dante is also resourceful, he found that he had a knack for jury rigging things going with the saying, "Doesn't matter how I got it to work all that matters is I got it to work.".
Background: Dante was born into an average middle class family. His father and mother were average american citizens, he grew up in Lakeside, Montana where his father worked for a small investment firm. Dante's younger brother Jason, was born when Dante was 4, his brother easily got on Dante's nerves nearly all the time he was annoyed with his brother. As the years passed when Dante was 14 his fathers business had elected to move to greener pastures in Austin, Texas. Dante's father and mother decided to, rather then work to find a new job in Lakeside to move with the Firm to Austin, much to the displeasure of the teenage Dante but to the delight of his younger brother. When the family arrived in Austin they moved into a small suburban home and life went on. Dante found some difficulty making friends feeling out of place in this new school and town. Within a few years he began to grow used to the new town and school.
When Dante was 13 and the economy began to crash his father firm was hit hard. Struggling to stay afloat. The next year was a hard one his mother began to work full time, leaving Dante and his younger brother home alone the majority of the time. Up until this point he and his brother did not get along. But at this point Dante was forced to mature, he finally began to get along with his brother and as they both got older Dante took his younger brother under his wing. When Dante finished his 8th grade year his fathers firm finally went under. Their family hit a rough few months, as their dad searched for a job and his family only stayed a float by the money their mother made. In this time Dante's parents got into heated arguments that would keep Dante and his little brother up till nearly dawn. Finally after several months of the reoccurring themes Dante's father enlisted for the military. Within a few months he was gone and the families economic issues had mostly been settled. When Dante was old enough he got himself a job and began to save as much money as he possibly so he could go to college. Dante had his group of close friend and they were who he hung out with the majority of the time, but his younger brother on the other hand had a much harder time. Dante's brother was trouble maker not just with teachers but other students, he had created a habit for getting into fights and angering other kids and when he would get into a fight Dante would always be there to help. With his older brother protecting him Dante's brother grew cocky and arrogant. Along with his college fund that his parent had saved up and still were saving for him and the money he was making his future in college was going to be easy sailing. But all that changed when a man in uniform arrived at their door.
The man was a good friend that was serving with Dante's father and he brought the news that their father had been killed in the line of duty. This devastated the family, from that point on it was choppy waters for the family. As Dante's mother began working a full time and a part time job which caused her to have no time for her kids, this did not bother the nearly adult Dante but for his younger brother it was much more difficult. Dante's mother never touched Dante's college fund but she could no longer continue to save money for him all of her money went to keeping the family afloat, but with the money he was saving up and the money his parents had saved up his tuition, books and a fraction of his housing would be payed for, the rest was up to him. As the years passed Dante finally graduated at the age of 18, he was not a straight A or an AP student but he had a passion for history, writing and science even if his grades did not always reflect it. His mother was so proud of him but his brother was angry he did not want to see him go and be left alone. They got into a bad fight the night before Dante left and they never made up for it. As Dante left for his college his brother went down hill, he started getting involved with the wrong kids and when Dante was a sophomore in college and Jason a Sophomore in high school Dante was working hard in school and work to make enough money and to get good grades, Jason on the other hand was flunking classes trying different drugs and just being a over all bad kid, not having any one there to watch him he just did as he pleased. Now Dante is a junior in college and other then fights he has gotten in to here and there he is a over all good kid, but his brother in the exact opposite.
Name: Brianna Foster
Age: 18
Height: 1.42m / ~5'6"
Gender: Female
Brianna has the ability to, when she so desires, create a sort of field around her body that can cover her completely a few centimetres from her skin to cover her clothing. This field absorbs incoming EM radiation and re-emits it exactly in the continuing direction of the waves. In other words, she is able to turn invisible. However, when she moves around, there is a slight refraction of light that can reveal a discernible outline of her if someone looked carefully enough. Also, the field does not hide radiation that emanates from her body in the first place, so she still turns up on thermal cameras and the like, and if she held something like a torch or a glow stick within the field, the light would still be visible to others. In order for Brianna to see, the field rifts around her eyes, but the resulting black dots floating in the air where her pupils are, when observed from Brianna's front, are about as easy to spot as the outline that appears when she moves.
In addition, Brianna can grip onto any surface with her exposed skin and hold her weight on those surfaces for an extended period of time. This includes, but is not limited to, walls and ceilings of any texture and material, so long as they are solid enough to hold her weight. Brianna can also form a solid grip on movable objects via skin contact.
These abilities can be toggled by Brianna voluntarily.
Bri has always had a creative mind, which manifests in photography and film, as well as drawing. She often exercises short film-making as a hobby -nothing too artsy, mostly comedic stuff with the occasional bout of special effects-. This means that she not only has an eye for aesthetics, but she knows how to operate a camera closer to a professional level than most people her age, as well as use film-making and animation programs on a computer with a degree of skill.
Bri also has a problem solving mind. Her lateral thinking skills means that she can see resourceful solutions to some problems where they may not be obvious to others.
Brianna is a slim, tall, athletically built Caucasian without the Hollywood curves of her older sister and mother, but with the self-esteem to not be fussed. She wears her straightened, armpit length blond hair back in a ponytail with strands escaping down the each side of her head behind her ears. Her dark green eyes don't get much attention due to the squint she often has, but the rest of her face isn't unattractive, save for a couple of well-placed blemishes on her cheeks that get mostly hidden with makeup anyway.
Bri's casualwear is mostly to please herself more than standing out in the latest fashion. Dark jeans, converses and a white blouse are commonplace, sometimes she substitutes them with other outfits as the event requires.
Brianna was born and raised in Austin. Aside from the occasional holiday, she and her family of parents, a younger and older sister had never lived elsewhere in her lifetime. You could say that her family life was fairly functional; her father was a board member to a large corporation, and her mother was a stay-at-home wife for a while, but started to run a small tea shop downtown once Brianna's younger sister turned 14 and they could all be trusted alone. The tea shop was more of a flight of fantasy from a more nanu-nanu corner of Brianna's mother's mind, but thankfully running a business caused Brianna's mother to become a little more down to earth, even if it made meagre profits. Needless to say, they were well-to-do, but Brianna's father was a workaholic who wasn't a fan of indulgence, so Brianna and her siblings had to save up for whatever they wanted on an average chore allowance like any other kids. Brianna's sisters (aged 15 and 20 at present) were of course devil-spawn in her eyes, but then again it wasn't so much of a surprising thought coming from a middle child.
Growing up in Austin was a bit rocky in elementary school for Brianna. She wasn't the most popular of children and had trouble making friends. By the time she reached secondary school, however, she had developed a lot socially, and was able to pick up a few friends without the impressions she had made in elementary school. One of these friends, later down the track, was Samantha Wolfe. Both being problem solving individuals, they helped each other out in the same grade with their work and they came to be solid friends.
Throughout high school, Brianna has always exhibited a preference to take things a lot less seriously than they should be taken. If Brianna ever had to take a subject in school that she did not enjoy, she would always either fail, or scrape by with a low grade. As the subject became more specialised later on in school, Brianna has started to excel. Currently, Bri is achieving better than adequate grades, and occasionally making short films as a hobby. Her older sister has moved out of house to go to college on the west coast and her younger sister is finally moving on from being a Belieber. Though Bri is struggling to form a mature relationship with her mother as age is making necessary, life is fairly steady.
Name: James Hunt
Age: 15
Height: 6' 4"
Gender: Male
Abilities: None, normal human.
Skills: Quite adept in computer sciences, particularly software.
Appearance: Red headed, thin, always wearing some sort of hoodie and carrying around a backpack.
Background: Trouble with bullying at school because of his intellect and his strong respect for the female gender. He spends most of his time outside of school in nearby secluded parts of the Westwood area.
Name: Cathrine Anders
Age: 18
Height: 5'10
Gender: Female
Abilities: Ability to summon any living thing except full fledged humans. It could be anything from a dog to a burning humanoid figure. The main problem with this is that due to Catherine being a sociopath all of her summoned things have a extreme emotion attached to it. ( Basiclly she could summon a bunch of snakes that were totally content with just kinda slithering around to attacking anything alive. Or alternatviely A humanoid formation of rocks that only wants to hit things or hug children). She can do this an unlimited number of times without her nightmares increasing. So if she does it once she will keep doing it.
Disadvantage: Whenever she does it for the next week she has horrifying nightmares. So much so to the point that she will go a week without sleeping regardless of the physical repercussions. It also gives her a incredable high of adrenaline whenever she does it. She is very conflicted with her ability in not always knowing what to do with it.
Skills: The ability to not feel empathy. Is a excellent shot with a rifle or handgun. Can recite you your rites and is generally good legal council.
Appearance: ( get rid of the forehead wrinkles and there you go.)
Background: Lost her mother when she was 6 do to her brain not getting enough oxygen to her brain. It took Catherine three days to remember her fathers phone number, who was away on business at the time. Her father then sold his company in order to be home for his daughter. They comfortably rode out on the money and her father taught her many things ranging from firearms training to law and even science. Did well in school although no honor roll student. She recently graduated and moved to Austin, Texas so she could attend university. She and her father talk frequently and he lives in Dallas.
Name: Mark Blackstone
Age: 15
Height: 5'6"
Gender: Male
Abilities: Mark can alter his molecular density at will, both increasing and decreasing it. Once fully developed, his power will allow him to phase through solid objects, and on the other end of the scale, make himself dense enough that he is practically immovable. Even before he gets to that point, making one of his limbs or his torso less dense can still be enough to soften the impact of a blow, and increasing the density of his fist would make his punch hurt a lot more than normal. Decreased density allows him to jump higher and farther, while increased density causes him to fall faster, which could be combined in all sorts of interesting ways, since it also makes him more resilient to the impact.
However, electricity negates the effect, causing his molecules to realign and revert to their normal density, which can be problematic if he, say, sticks his hand into a computer. If he were to fall out of phase before fully passing through an object or person, his molecules would fuse with that object and he'd be stuck.
Skills: Mark is an excellent writer, and has written several front page pieces for the school newspaper, and a skilled diver and swimmer. He is a red belt in Aikido, a martial art focusing on redirecting an attacker's force with throws and joint locks without injuring the attacker. Mark also has some medical knowledge and is CPR and first aid certified, at his father's insistence.
Background: Mark comes from a well-off family, but that doesn't mean his life's been easy. His father, a trauma surgeon, is rarely home, and when he is, he's distant and stern. His brother enrolled in the Army ROTC, and was deployed to Iraq, where he turned up MIA about three months before his first tour was due to end. His mother... Didn't handle this well. Depression set in, and she began to waste away, eventually becoming suicidal. Since Mark's father was working, Mark had to make the 911 call the day he came home to find his mother unconscious on the floor in the kitchen with an empty bottle of painkillers next to her. Miraculously, the hospital saved her life, but she wasn't the same. They placed her under observation in the psychiatric ward, and Mark hasn't been to visit her very often in the two years since the suicide attempt, because she has broken with reality so completely that she hallucinates that Mark's brother is still alive and visits her frequently and Mark finds himself unable to confront this or maintain his composure around her. However, he is able to confide in his sister, Eve, who he sees as the only person he can trust. He has a few friends, mostly acquaintances from the newspaper or dive team, but he keeps most of them at arm's length, not wanting to allow them to see exactly how screwed up his life is.

The former South African president and anti-apartheid died at age 95 on December 5, 2013.
Wise words from a leader who devoted his life to battling injustice.
Misty Franklin started thinking about dying early in 2013, during the cold, short days of January. The pain was worse than it had ever been. The idea of dying came to her as a relief, and she immediately started to make plans.
Flags were lowered to half-staff across South Africa and people in black townships, in upscale mostly white suburbs and in the country's vast rural grasslands commemorated Nelson Mandela with song, tears and prayers on Friday while pledging to adhere to the values of unity and democracy that he embodied.

Notes: Due to the thick coco fibers grommet holes are not available on these mats, but the heavy weight and nibbed backing keep them in place.
Get a *FREE* Ice Scraper with every order through 12/31/2013 or while supplies last!
Sorry due to a high volume of sales we cannot guarantee Christmas delivery Request a Sample Swatch
How are Coco Mats made? : To make Coco Mats, workers first separate the husks from the harvested coconut fruit. The fully ripe husks are soaked in lagoons of fresh water, while the green, not-yet ripe husks are soaked in salt water for a period of three to six months. During this time, microbes decompose the husk's pulp, allowing it to be separated into coir fibers.
Next, workers remove the husks and, using large wooden mallets to hackle (or comb) them in preparation for the weaving process. After transferring the coir to a spinning wheel, it's then spun into yarn, dyed, and hand-woven into mats.
Because they're made with hand-woven coir fibers and topped with a specialty nibbed rubber backing, these woven, natural floor mats are some of the most durable floor mats around.

Posted Oct 10, 2012
ByAlexander George "Alex" Karras (July 15, 1935 – October 10, 2012), nicknamed "The Mad Duck", was an American football player, professional wrestler, and actor has died. In his later years, Karras suffered several serious health problems, including dementia. heart disease, and cancer.
He played football with the Detroit Lions in the National Football League from 1958–1962 and 1964–1970. As an actor, Karras is noted for his role as the thuggish Mongo in the 1974 comedy film Blazing Saddles, and for starring in the ABC sitcom Webster (1983–87) alongside his wife Susan Clark, as the title character's adoptive father.
Alex Karras was drafted in the first round of the NFL draft by the Detroit Lions in 1958. He quickly became one of the dominant defensive tackles in the NFL, playing for 12 seasons (1958-1962, 1964-1970) with the same team, but missing the 1963 season for gambling activities. From 1960 to 1966, except for 1963, he played next to Roger Brown, a formidable pair of defensive tackles, until the latter was traded to the Los Angeles Rams.

EDMONTON - The sky is about to turn into an undulating heavenly mosaic of colours over the next few months — and Edmonton is one of the best places in the country to see it.
Stoked by sun spots and solar storms, the Northern Lights are reaching the peak of their decade-long cycle and will be especially active from now through spring.
While visible just about anywhere in Canada, the best displays are experienced in more northern locales on clear, crisp, dark nights.
"Although they occur somewhat randomly, the fall is a very good time," said Ian Mann, a University of Alberta professor and holder of a recent Canada Research Chair in Space Physics. "When these things explode, they start from a narrow east-west direction and then go completely insane.
"It is quite otherworldly when you see it."
Statistically speaking, the best time to view them is just before midnight, Mann says. Data collected by Environment Canada shows they are visible on an average of 90 nights per year in Edmonton with September one of the best months, with 187 possible hours of availability.
Comparatively speaking, they can be observed in Ottawa on an average of 35 nights per year, and in Toronto only 18 nights per year.
"It is one of the rewards for living in a more northerly climate," says David Phillips, a climatologist with Environment Canada.
At their brightest, the Northern Lights are visible even with the light pollution in Edmonton.
Early Tuesday morning, Matthew Melnyk, a local airline pilot, was enthralled to see them over a lake south of the city.
"I waited for it to happen and it did," says Melnyk, who is also an astronomy buff and photographer. "It blows your mind that you can actually see them from your own backyard. It is one of the most amazing things you could ever see."
A phenomenon that is more easily visible as one gets nearer to the Earth's magnetic poles, the Northern Lights are universally popular. Aurora Watch, a website created by researchers at the University of Alberta, has had more than one million visitors since 2009.
About 20,000 people subscribe to an email list to receive alerts when the best viewing opportunities are forecast.
"There is a huge interest in this, but I think Canadians in general have a soft spot for the Northern Lights," Mann says. "There is something almost Canadian about them.
"When it comes to seeing them, we have a geographical advantage."

I get to -- Stenberg and how this is playing out is so Staples co-founder former CEO.
-- -- Mitt Romney but do you think.
Did Mitt Romney delivered what he had to deliver up to read these polls -- He had to at least slow what appeared to be the -- air coming out of the balloon what he said.
Gosh if this -- have been a fight that think they were thrown in the towel before 10 o'clock mid school word punch after punch.
The fact is President Obama is terrific on his feet when nobody is challenging -- the facts.
And when he tried again and again this a Mitt Romney's they cut taxes for the wealthy.
By five trillion dollars in the -- -- at a time and time again mid put in his place.
And he had this you know it's.
-- here -- -- and I English and here's what I need your help on that point.
It's like he said she -- he said he said thing right it's not fights here -- does it is too it's not factory it is to not to not to another words.
If you're -- -- and and and and I -- an -- folks -- financially your business savvy is a guy like you for example.
They might just not noted that holes where it right so who wins in dad.
Kind of.
-- you know I get -- mid.
I thought admit that it terrific job.
That he issues in keeping -- simple.
-- -- governor Palin's point about specifics.
If you tried again to all kinds of detail.
You confuse people I think frankly as several times tonight that governor of bomb President Obama stumbling over his words.
Got confused himself and I think trying to get all kinds indeed chaotic that it -- it's that simple.
To the point eight and -- point that they really are two very different visions for America.
One is government controlled.
With deficits doubling.
By administration and god knows what they'd be in a second Obama administration.
-- they -- fed at the end of the day when they no matter what the liberal media friends.
All of them do these polls of independent voters.
And I suspect independent voters have a much stronger more favorable opinion Mitt Romney tomorrow morning they did at dinnertime tonight.
We surprised that private capital.
Of which you have certain Staples where there was a beneficiary.
Of Bain Capital want to the point.
Did not.
Become the big -- that many thought it would tonight.
Well again I think this is of you know -- learned a great job scripting this.
It tried to keep people on message.
I don't think -- -- a lot of my time Blair but I thought ID.
President Obama you know asked about that education was talking about Libya and or -- and and taxes and welfare and it all in one sentence from time to time so.
But I think it is good jobs he could keep -- my message I think those great thing about mid.
He did not -- President Obama -- -- -- -- lies -- by generally he called them on his lies.
Against I think if you look at the polls.
In the yield video the issue is wrong amidst behind I think this behind.
Those people.
Think he has views and positions.
That he simply doesn't have and they think that.
Because President Obama and his tens of millions of average the million dollars of advertising have said that he -- things when in fact he doesn't.
All right.

Scituate residents say wind turbine is too loud
SCITUATE, Mass. (WHDH) -- Scituate residents say a noisy wind turbine is keeping them awake at night, and they aren't happy about it.
"We never anticipated it making so much noise," said Linda Alvarez, Scituate resident. "I hear the sound of a turbine, more like a jet engine going overhead."
Linda Alvarez and her husband say the noise can sometimes be overwhelming --especially when trying to sleep.
"You can still hear the noise inside your home with the windows closed," Linda Alvarez said.
The two say they've already gone before the Board of Health just this week to air out their concerns. They say they're not alone in taking up issue with the turbine.
"It's not just sound, it's also this flickering when the sun is low, it's like a strobe in people's living rooms," said Alex Alvarez, a Scituate resident.
"My personal view is this is a great project and I'm glad it's moving forward," said Rick Murray, town selectman.
Town selectman Rick Murray lives in the same neighborhood -- but he doesn't share the same concerns.
"We've had overwhelming support from the town including many in this exact neighborhood," Murray said.
The turbine just went up in March; the final stage in a six-year program.
"It's saving the town a lot of money and this money is hard to come by these days," Murray said.
Murray says every issue raised will be closely looked at.
"We are not dismissing these complaints or taking them lightly at all," said Murray.
"I'm not against wind energy. Many of us are not against wind energy. We are against placing industrial-sized turbines in residential neighborhoods," Linda Alvarez said.
Murray says there is no timetable on when a decision will be made.

4.1 Introduction
This unit examines the role that Scots played in contributing to the developments in healthcare during the nineteenth century. The radical transformation of medicine in Europe included the admission of women as doctors and the increased numbers of specialised institutions such as asylums. Such developments were also influenced by wider social, economic, political and cultural backgrounds – these are also examined.
Introduction This unit explores a number of issues relating to mental health practice. It starts by helping you define and understand the difference between mental health and mental illness. It also explores the discrimination that can arise when people experience some form of mental distress. You will look at how professionals working within the community can counter some of the effects of discrimination and stigma and contribute to the well-being of the wider community, as well as those who use their se
1.1 Introduction
Although society's attitude toward mental illness has improved, discrimination and misconceptions surrounding those affected are still prevalent. This unit explores a number of issues relating to mental health practice, including the difference between mental health and mental illness, and the discrimination that can arise when people experience some form of mental distress.
In our everyday lives we use we use language to develop ideas and to communicate them to other people. In this unit we examine ways in which language is adapted to express mathematical ideas.
Childcare, education, working conditions, healthcare, crime … these issues are hotly debated in today's society. They are also issues that Robert Owen, seen by some as a visionary and by others as a knave and a charlatan, sought to address in the early 1800s. This unit uses a series of essays written by Owen to explore the ideas of this important and controversial figure.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the approach to medicine was vastly different from today. Health is now recognised, at least in most European countries, as a universal right, but what was it like in the past? How did social and political boundaries affect access to treatment, and what were the treatments of the day? This unit examines how Scottish healthcare institutions were influenced by these underlying social, economic, political and cultural contexts.

(K207) Introduction Introduction The case studies in this unit introduce various typologies of heritage and the methods used to study them. The case studies help to draw attention to the fact that the heritage traditions in England, Scotland and Wales are not the same and are enshrined in slightly different legislation. Every study of heritage requires an understanding of the legal context and the traditions and history governing the object of heritage. This material is from our archive and is an adapted extract from < Introduction Introduction Introduction
The facts and figures on poverty often don't provide a meaningful picture of the situation. This unit demonstrates the true impact of poverty on the people and places in Scotland through a series of essays that combine the statistics with stories of people who work in the field and those who live in poverty.
We know that culture guides the way people behave in society as a whole. But culture also plays a key role in organisations, which have their own unique set of values, beliefs and ways of doing business. This unit explores the concepts of national and organisational culture and the factors that influence both.
If you've ever been involved in campaigning for change, you probably know that getting the desired result is much harder than it seems. Moreover, the decision to campaign on a particular issue can expose tensions and cracks within an organisation itself. This unit explores effective approaches to campaigning.
You may have met complex numbers before, but not had experience in manipulating them. This unit gives an accessible introduction to complex numbers, which are very important in science and technology, as well as mathematics. The unit includes definitions, concepts and techniques which will be very helpful and interesting to a wide variety of people with a reasonable background in algebra and trigonometry.

Colposcopy and Cervical Biopsy
How It Feels
You may feel some discomfort when the vaginal speculum is inserted. You may feel a pinch and have some cramping if a biopsy sample is taken.
In rare cases, a cervical biopsy can cause an infection or bleeding. Bleeding can usually be stopped by using a special liquid or swab on the area.
After the test
If you have a biopsy, you may feel some soreness in your vagina for a day or two. Some vaginal bleeding or discharge is normal for up to a week after a biopsy. The discharge may be dark-colored if Monsel's solution was used. You can use a sanitary pad for the bleeding. Do not douche, have sex, or use tampons for one week, to allow time for your cervix to heal. Do not exercise for one day after your colposcopy.
Follow any instructions your doctor gave you. Call your doctor if you have:
- Heavy vaginal bleeding (more than a normal menstrual period).
- A fever.
- Belly pain.
- Bad-smelling vaginal discharge.
Colposcopy is a way for your doctor to use a special magnifying device to look at your vulva, vagina, and cervix.
Your doctor will talk to you about what he or she sees at the time of the colposcopy. Lab results from a biopsy may take several days or more.
Normal: |
The vinegar or iodine does not show any areas of abnormal tissue. The vagina and cervix look normal. |
A biopsy sample does not show any abnormal cells. |
Abnormal: |
The vinegar or iodine shows areas of abnormal tissue. Sores or other problems, such as genital warts or an infection, are found in or around the vagina or cervix. |
A biopsy sample shows abnormal cells. This may mean cervical cancer is present or likely to develop. |
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the colposcopy or why the results may not be helpful include:
- If you have sexual intercourse 24 hours before the colposcopy.
- The use of douches, tampons, or vaginal creams or medicines 24 hours before the colposcopy.
- If you are having a menstrual period at the time of the colposcopy.
- If a vaginal or cervical infection is present.
- If you have gone through menopause. Hormonal changes may make it difficult to see the cervical canal clearly.
What To Think About
- Colposcopy is not usually used as a screening test for women at high risk for cervical cancer. A Pap test is done for that purpose. But a colposcopy gives you and your doctor more information if you have an abnormal result from a Pap test.
- Sometimes only abnormal cervical biopsy results are reported back to the woman. Tell your doctor if you want to be informed of normal biopsy results.
- If a colposcopy and cervical biopsy are normal, it is not likely that you have cell changes that can lead to cervical cancer.
- Another biopsy may be needed if a Pap test, colposcopy, and cervical biopsy show different results. In some cases, a larger biopsy area, called a cone biopsy, is removed. Special tools, such as laser or a heated loop, can be used to remove a cone-shaped wedge of normal and abnormal tissue from the cervix. A cone biopsy may treat the problem because all of the abnormal tissue is removed. Your doctor will give you more instructions if a cone biopsy is needed.
- Women with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have a higher chance of developing cervical cancer. A colposcopy is recommended for all women with HIV and an abnormal Pap test.
