The simple explanation for these seizures and reluctant to rebound glucose levels would be that my dad accidentally gave my grandfather 38 Humulin instead of 38 Lantis. This would explain the stubborn glucose levels as the humulin at that dose would surely nosedive the glucose levels for as long as it was working through his system, something like six hours, which is about the time his glucose levels stopped nosediving.
If anything about my posts isn't clear or if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks!View Thread
A couple days ago he had a seizure that seemed to be related to low blood sugar level because a tablespoon of maple syrup stopped the seizure almost immediately and shortly after eating a few tablespoons of maple syrup he tested
33 at 1am. More syrup administered and he tested
58 at 1:30am. More syrup and applesauce administered a reading of 53 at 1:45am. More of the same fed to him and he tested
81 at 1:58am. Cottage cheese and applesauce with a little syrup were now given to him for a test of
101 at 2:13am. Bread with cheese and jam were next administered: 119 at 2:30am. I don't believe anymore food was given him the rest of the night and he had the following tests:
2:30am 119
2:47am 127
3:07am 187
4:40am 209
8:04am 135
As you can see continually feeding him maple syrup, applesauce, cottage cheese, bread and cheese did not skyrocket his blood sugar levels as one might expect. It took awhile before his blood sugar levels stayed up on their own without anymore sugar/food. Normally a tablespoon of maple syrup might be expected to raise my grandfather's blood glucose level by 50 or more. Instead, during the wee hours of Feb 12 it took all that sugar and food to raise it to safe levels.
Last night (technically this morning) Feb. 15, my grandfather had another seizure at 12:20am. I noticed the seizure a little earlier this time and got him maple syrup before the seizure had gotten bad, but he went into a full blown seizure anyway. 5 minutes or so later the seizures stopped as I kept giving him many tablespoons of maple syrup. When I tested him at about 12:30am he had a reading of 48 blood glucose level. Here is a breakdown of the food given and the blood glucose tests:
Note, the food descriptions are what he ate before the test. So leading up to the 12:28am test he ate many tablespoons of maple syrup and apple sauce and some nuts.
12:28am, 48: many tablespoons of maple syrup and apple sauce and some nuts.
12:41am, 47,
12:53am, 63, nuts, syrup, applesauce
1:06am, 83, cottage cheese, honey, apple sauce, syrup
1:21am, 163, nuts, cottage cheese, honey, apple sauce, syrup
2:23am, 122, slice of ezekiel bread with mayo and slices of cheddar cheese and the last couple bites of the cottage cheese, honey, apple sauce with syrup.
3:22am, 138,
4:22am, 106, a cookie and a some nuts
6:07am 191, another good sized bowl of apple sauce, syrup, cottage cheese and another cookie and probably some nuts, too.
As you can see, his blood sugar was even more reluctant to stay up this night than the first night. Even though he had all that sugar and food his blood sugar was still dropping when I backed off between 2:23am and 3:22am. Between 3:22am and 4:22am I gave him a cookie and some nuts and yet his blood sugar still dropped from 138 to 106 during that hour. Whatever was nosediving his blood sugar levels only finally quit at around 5 or 6 am, when it finally jumped to 191 as it normally would with this sort of sugary intake.
Can exercise or some other factor explain this nosedive in blood sugar level? My father is adamant that he did not accidentally swap the Lantis with the Humulin, which fits scenario perfectlyView Thread

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'female genital mutilation' tag.
Dan Savage reports:
A pediatric urologist at Cornell—Dix Poppas—has been operating on little girls with what he judges to be oversized clitorises, cutting away important clitoral tissues, and then stitching the glans to what remains of the shaft.
At annual visits after the surgery, while a parent watches, Poppas touches the daughter's surgically shortened clitoris with a cotton-tip applicator and/or with a "vibratory device," and the girl is asked to report to Poppas how strongly she feels him touching her clitoris. Using the vibrator, he also touches her on her inner thigh, her labia minora, and the introitus of her vagina, asking her to report, on a scale of 0 (no sensation) to 5 (maximum), how strongly she feels the touch…. Poppas has indicated in this article and elsewhere that ideally he seeks to conduct annual exams with these girls….
I believe all genital mutilation/cutting/circumcision/surgery performed on children is wrong. This is for two related reasons. The first is consent- a child or infant cannot understand the reasons for and consequences of genital surgery. Any surgery that is not medically necessary, and genital surgery is rarely medically necessary, should not be performed without the individual's consent. Unless a major bodily function is impeded by the formation of the genitals, the surgery is cosmetic. The second is that this surgery may have long-lasting and deep-rooted effects for the infant or child, and so cannot in good conscience be performed without the individuals consent.
Some people are born with genitals that may seem "too big" or "too small" by the parents' standards or in the opinion of the family's physician. This is natural variation. There are plenty of genetic situations that can cause a person's genitals to appear different than what we consider "the norm". When a person's genitals don't neatly fall into what we expect a "woman's" or a "man's" to look like, that person is intersex. There is no way to tell by looking at an intersex baby's genitals whether that baby will grow up to identify as a woman, man, both or neither. There is also no way to tell from genitals whether a person will grow up to be L, G, B, T or Q. The Intersex Society of North America estimates that about 1% of the population is born with "bodies [that] differ from standard male or female".
That means that reshaping a baby's genitals to fit a preconceived notion of what a girl or a boy "should" look like is not only likely to harm sexual/sensual function in adulthood, but also may result in the parents and physician guessing wrong and reshaping the child's genitals into the "wrong" sex. Our sex and gender identification is not formed only by outside society… see As Nature Made Him.
In the article above, Dan Savage is correct in identifying clitoris-reduction surgery on infants as based on sexism and homophobia. Since we do not know whether all children described as having a large clitoris will identify as girls/women in adulthood, I cannot say that this is specifically "female" genital mutilation, but more broadly genital mutilation.
All non-medically-necessary genital surgery is cosmetic. And do we have any good reason to perform cosmetic, permanent surgery on a non-consenting child's genitals? My stance is "no". Some circumcision of boys and girls is done by religious dictate: because a holy text mandates it, or because it purportedly helps ensure virginity, etc. Other circumcision is done to fit the child into a cultural idea of what a "woman" or a "man" should look like. It is prescriptive… we see a baby as nature made hir, and we decide god or nature made a mistake that a human must correct.
But why must it be "corrected"? What is there to correct, exactly, when no major bodily function is impeded? Parents and doctors who perpetuate cosmetic genital surgery are allowing their own fears and limitations regarding sex, gender, and sexuality to play out physically upon the body of their child, a child whose very existence makes them fear for the rectitude of their dearly held social categories. Is it right to make a child suffer for life so that the parent and doctor can avoid hard questions and self-examination?
Some will always, inevitably say, "well it is too hard on the child to be raised intersex/with ambiguous genitals/ambiguous gender". Why is it hard? Because society is sexist and homophobic, believes viscerally in a culturally-moderated gender binary, and people can be narrow-minded about these issues. Is the potential meanness of others, the potential bias against diversity, enough to perform cosmetic surgery? Why is it so hard for the parents to follow their child's lead, to leave paths open and allow their child to pick one? I suspect that the parents are more worried about themselves, the potential explaining they may have to do, than about the highly touted danger of allowing the child to make hir own decision.
The situation that Dan Savage describes above only takes this human rights violation farther. Farther than even your average person is comfortable with, I think. To draw out the process of forcing a young body into a man-made sex mold for years, with close and constant medical intervention, is cruel and unusual torture. Parents who allow this are gravely remiss in watching out for their children's best interests. They are also probably deeply misinformed by the "experts" into whose hands they have fallen. And the doctors—and doctor Dix Poppas particularly—are committing deep ethical breeches that I believe are egregious enough to be human rights violations.
Discuss infant genital surgery in comments, if you will. Slurs and insults not tolerated.
Women seeking asylum in the US due to horrible and socially condoned gender-based violence in their country of origin are usually denied. The US Homeland Security Department defines a person eligible for asylum as "a person who is unable or unwilling to return to his or her country of nationality because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion."
I have always wondered why sex/gender isn't a category here. Doesn't gender-based violence occur around the world? Doesn't it occur at times in certain locations, such as systematic rape in the Sudan, or systematic female genital mutilation in Guinea, or systematic kidnapping of little girls for the sex trade in northern India, or systematic selling of women as though they were possessions? Are these human rights abuses not predicated on the person's membership to the female sex? Why is it acceptable grounds for asylum to have been enslaved because you were an ethnic minority, but not because you were female? Why is it acceptable grounds for asylum when your genitals were mutilated because you were a political dissident, but not if yours where mutilated because you were born female?
Well I'll tell you right now, it certainly mustn't be because American society deprioritizes and silences violence against women, and has a general history of ignoring or exacerbating women's problems on the global stage. Definitely Not Misogyny. Oh No. The Horror.
So it must be for some legitimate reason, right? Like when the US denied asylum to Guinean women who had been genitally mutilated in their country of origin, and who had daughters whom they wished to save from that special form of gender-based torture. Those women were definitely terrorists.
Well, President Obama is slightly rethinking this approach.
The Obama administration has opened the way for foreign women who are victims of severe domestic beatings and sexual abuse to receive asylum in the United States. The action reverses a Bush administration stance in a protracted and passionate legal battle over the possibilities for battered women to become refugees.
This was sparked by the case of one Mexican woman, identified only as L.R., whose case is rather extreme: "According to court documents filed in San Francisco, the man repeatedly raped her at gunpoint, held her captive, stole from her and at one point tried to burn her alive when he learned she was pregnant."
And the Mexican authorities demonstrated their complete lack of interest in protecting her human rights:
Local police dismissed her reports of violence as "a private matter," the court documents said, and a judge she turned to for help tried to seduce her.
"In Mexico, men believe they have a right to abuse their women because they are like a possession," she said. With three children born from her involuntary sex with the man, who never married her, she fled to California in 2004.
So yay, that's good we're reconsidering our harsh stance right? But women who suffer for their gender outside of domestic relationships, or who have or are threatened with FGM are still not protected. If I understand all this correctly. And I may not, what with me doing my thinking with my irrational Woman-Brain ™. And besides, it's not even certain that we will accept L.R.'s petition.
I still can't figure out why admitting that women suffer persecution based on their identity as women (a suspect gender), just as Bantu in Somalia suffer for their identity as Bantu (a suspect ethnic minority) – to name a random example among thousands – is so hard for the US government. What's the controversy here? Is it because they are afraid of a deluge of abused women applying for asylum? Is it because our government is somehow dimly aware we haven't cleaned our own house yet?
I'm glad the Obama Admin is opening the door a crack. But I could use some more time ruminating on the deeper implications of American refusal to acknowledge gender as a suspect class, i.e. "any classification of groups meeting a series of criteria suggesting they are likely the subject of discrimination." More on that here.
Your thoughts?
Recently, the US Board of Immigration Appeals denied asylum to three women who had been victims of FGM (female genital mutilation) in their home country of Guinea because they had no well-founded fear of further persecution, since your vulva can only be cut off once.
To be clear, in Guinea, 95% of women are subjected to FGM.
The women claim that the high prevalence of FGM in Guinea indicates a culture of serious oppression against women. They further claim that they have well-founded fears that their daughters would also have their vulvas cut off if they were to return.
"There's no question female genital mutilation is a horrendous act," said Department of Justice lawyer Michael Heyse.
Jessica Sherman, a Justice Department lawyer, said there was no evidence in the cases of the three women that the same individuals who harmed them would do so again.
At the hearing, the judges seemed particularly upset at a conclusion by the government that it was fair to return the women to Guinea because they could not suffer further persecution since mutilation had already occurred.
"Supply me any case in which a well-founded fear of persecution was not sustained because the same leg couldn't be amputated or the same organ removed," demanded Judge Rosemary Pooler.
Pa-DOW government lawyers! "Justice Department" indeed. That's a blow to their old "Vulvas Can Only Be Cut off Once, So Go Back to Your Totally Non-Persecuting Country Wench!" song-and-dance. And I say "old" because the government has always denied victims of FGM asylum, in the absence of any other additional fears of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. However, as these judges suspect, when it's non-female-specific body parts that get cut off based on your membership in a particular social group, US Immigration seems to think fear of persecution is indeed well-founded and meets their criteria.
It looks like some awesome judges are about to do away with the "Vulva Exception". Which, in the defense of the Board of Immigration Appeals, I'm sure was based on totally non-misogynist, completely and coolly rational US policy, and probably had to do with terrorists and national security, and was therefore well-justified. I'd like to see that memo: CIA Warns DHS of National Security Risk Posed by Vulva-less, Mutilated Asylum Seekers.
Stay classy, Board of Immigration Appeals.

Dick Ebersol has had a long run as NBC's executive super-villain. He nearly killed "Saturday Night Live," spent way too much on the last Olympics, and was on Team Leno. Team Leno! Anyway, he's reportedly been ousted by the new NBC council elders at Kabletown Comcast, despite his status as a "legend," aka "a TV executive some regular people have heard of."
Ebersol is apparently pretty hated for his various crimes against humanity, so don't expect to see any tearful goodbyes from the media any time soon. For instance, Deadline's report of the news ends with "Hey Dick, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out." In keeping with this tradition, I'd like to contribute a bon mot of my own: Dick Ebersol? More like DICK Ebersol. That's right, I went there.

Dr. Gilles Cote's Ratings
I have been waiting for well over 2 years for a consult with a pulmonologist in Gatineau. Dr Cote seems to be the *only* one. According to his staff at the Hull hospital, he glanced at the consult requestS and told his staff that I was not a priority case. His staff told me that there is no hope for an appointment, despite worsening symptoms (chronic cough, chest pain, diminished lung function, spots on both lungs) and a yearly request from the family medicine clinic. The best my family doctor can do is send me for a scan every 6 months to see the progression of the spots, including a new one. Shame on Dr Cote and the system that waits before it's more than critical before access to specialist care can be granted. His staff recently told me to go to the emergency dept, which I did. There, I was told "to wait my turn" for a consult. I will be paying out-of-pocket for a visit with an Ontario specialist after the next scan - I can't afford to gamble with my life the way Dr Cote does.

By CLAUDETTE LANGLEYSun Advocate reporter
Helper dog owners may want to steer clear of walking their pups on the parkway in the very near future.
The city council voted unanimously to prohibit canines on the area down by the river at their March 6 meeting. The issue of dogs on the parkway came to light at the Feb. 21 meeting when representatives from the town's new beautification committee expressed concern that any work done on the area would ultimately be destroyed by the furry visitors.
"It's just not fair to the committee to allow dogs on the parkway," Councilman Larry Ganser said. "There are so many other places in town to walk dogs."
Dog dropping appeared to be the main concern of the committee members and the council.
"We have a real problem with dog doo doo," Helper Mayor Mike Dalpiaz said. "Everybody was going to clean it up but they aren't."
Public Works Supervisor Orlando Ochoa added that the parkway wasn't the only area beset with the pups' piles.
"I've seen dogs go right on the sidewalk and the owners not stop to clean it up," he said. "And we have signs all over the city cemetery and residents ignore them."
A dog owner in the audience asked if the city couldn't provide bags for cleanup.
"We discussed that in the past," Dalpiaz said. "But people decided that it was easier to bring their own."
As it turned out the councilmembers had a previous law to back up their decision, an ordinance existed for many years prohibiting dogs on the parkway.
"When we had that ordinance it was very effective," Ochoa said.
Dalpiaz added that the original ordinance came about because of dogs that were actually on the leash walking up and biting people. He said that they were also killing the trees and flowers when they went to the bathroom.
"It was however a very controversial ordinance and five or six years ago it was rescinded," he said.
Councilman P.J. Jensen then moved to reinstate the ordinance,but Helper Attorney Gene Strait had some questions on the motion.
"This is the only park where we allow dogs, do we actually have an ordinance?" Strait asked.
Assured there was a law, he said that he would re-draft the ordinance and bring it back to the March 20 meeting for a vote.
In other business the council turned a critical eye to the proposal for this year's Heritage Days.
Jensen brought the tentative schedule for the week-long Wild West extravaganza to be conducted at the beginning of June. In the hopper is a dinner, silent auction, a model railroad show, a mining demonstration, a Butch Cassidy look-a-like contest and unusual race.
"We are planning a bordello bed race with teams of five people each," he said. "We already have six entries."
One of the key aspects of the event appeared to be recognition in the international magazine True West, in which Helper had once received a number one rating, but recently slipped to 14.
"Basically last year the committee wanted to find ways to improve on our event so that we can get back into the top 10," said Jensen.
However, the town's rating in the magazine seemed to trouble the council.
"You spent $12,000 on advertising in True West magazine," Dalpiaz said. "What did we do, buy the first place rating?"
The mayor added that he had been to the event for the past couple of years and wasn't impressed by the turn out.
"The ones I have been to, I just don't see a lot of people," he said. "Are we getting the bang for our buck?"
Jensen acknowledged that there had been problems in the past and that was why the committee decided to expand the scope of the event this year.
"Even with a ranking of 14 we are still listed in an international magazine," he said. "It's helping the status of our town getting our name out in the world."
The cash return was not the only concern, despite the number of events already scheduled, council members took into account a large amount of down time during each day and said that it would be hard to keep people interested enough to stay.
Ganser suggested that maybe a dance, a barbecue and a picnic be added to the festivities.
He and Councilman John Jones hit upon the idea of setting up booths where vendors could sell a variety of items to people attending the celebration.
"People like to come and buy things like T-shirts and homemade knives," the men commented.
With several loose ends to tie up, the council recommended that Jensen bring back a tighter plan to the council at a later date.
The Helper City Council meets again March 20 at 6 p.m. at the auditorium. For more information on meetings and getting on the agenda call Recorder Jona Skeri at 472-5391.

X FACTOR smackdown –KHLOE KARDASHIAN & MARIO LOPEZ despise each other with the fury of a thousand suns!
T HE prospective new hosts of "The X Factor" – reality TV Khloe Kardashian and "Extra" host Mario Lopez – are already at each other's throats!
"The show hasn't even started taping yet and the knives are out!" a network insider told The ENQUIRER.
"Mario thinks Khloe is an airhead, and she thinks he's a musclebound stuffed shirt.
"They're already vying for the spotlight, and the real competition is going to be which one will be the bigger pain in the butt for 'X Factor' brass when production starts."
Each one is set to get a fat $1 million paycheck, but hammering out their deals has been a nightmare, said the source.
"They both demanded exactly the same amount of air time, a completely even distribution of promotional commitments, the same dressing room trailers and the same down-to-the-penny wardrobe, hair and makeup budgets," said the source.
"Mario even tried to get approval of Khloe's wardrobe because he's terrified her cleavage is going to detract from his muscles!"
On the surface, Khloe is the most laid-back, no-nonsense of the Kardashian sisters, "but she's hoping this gig could lead to a job on a show like 'The View' or even her own series," the source said.
"Meanwhile, Mario is all about business. Plus, he always has to be the bigger star, so it infuriates him to have an equal role with someone as popular as Khloe.
"Mario and Khloe each feel they'll be the new name draw for 'X Factor' fans – and for the producers, the headaches have just begun."

CATTY COMMENTS: FIV-positive cats no longer considered unadoptable
PALM CITY - The diagnosis of the presence of the FIV or FeLV virus in a cat used to be a death sentence. Popular thinking was that the cat posed a high risk to other cats and it was often euthanized. Fortunately, that way of thinking has changed. In fact, cats which have tested positive for FIV can often safely share a home with cats that don't harbor the virus.
Here are some facts to consider regarding FIV-positive cats:
* Transmission of the FIV virus occurs most often through deep bite wounds. If the cat is not aggressive and gets along well with other cats in the household, the likelihood of transmission of the virus is minimal.
* FIV is given the nickname "feline AIDS" but this term can be misleading. The virus cannot be transmitted to humans or non-feline pets.
* FIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. The cat's immune system is compromised and therefore the likelihood of the cat becoming ill from another disease is increased by the presence of the virus. However, these cats can often live happy, healthy lives for years.
The FeLV virus is different. Known as "feline leukemia," FeLV is more easily transmitted between cats than FIV. Veterinarians recommend that these cats live in households in which there are no other cats or in which all of them are FeLV-positive. FeLV cats have shorter life spans, but lead relatively "healthy" lives until their immune systems begin to break down.
Many shelters do not accept cats that are either FeLV or FIV-positive. However, Hobe Sound Animal Protection League has a special area in which these cats reside, romping and sunning themselves just like ordinary cats everywhere.
Currently, HSAPL has some very special FIV and FeLV-positive cats that need homes. Reggie, for example, is a FIV-positive, long-haired, gray cat that is very affectionate and enjoys being brushed. He loves to drink from the faucet and hurries over whenever the water is turned on.
Lovey is FeLV-positive. She is a short-haired calico. At meal time Lovey waits quietly in the background for her turn, allowing others to go before her. Well-mannered and sweet, she loves to curl up in a friendly lap.
The decision to adopt a "special-needs" cat is a personal one, but those who opt do so give the gift of unconditional love to cats that are in special need of kindness.

Archived data will be locked starting with the 2014 ARO and onward.
CoA publishes annual summary data on doctoral, internship and postdoctoral residency programs. Data for 2012 will soon be available on the APA accreditation website. 2013 ARO summary tables will be posted in 2014.

Hey there! I'm closing this place down and the migration of data to a new, improved website has started already, so keep in mind that anything you post from now is gonna be wiped! Will be back shortly with news. Cheers //LONDON
Havent even had the ability to play cassettes for about 10 years haha!
Light come
We're back against the wall
Time won
We're held in chainz at dawn
Oh god I feel terrible I completely forgot about this!! London has wiped my brian haha
I was thinkin about it, as i have no internet connection yet in my new flat, so i couldnt follow the forum and all we may posticipate the date if no one is not ready yet (Me first, not good) or..?
I totally forgot about this too. (I can't even remember what I did yesterday, I have a bad memory.)
But I'm still in, if we move the date. I just need about a few days to make the CD
Hah, I was trying to read through this topic but since it was moved here from somewhere else, I'm not sure if I get it right. Can someone explain me briefly what it is about? Making a mixtape of... what? Random favourite songs? And sending it to someone who's in too?
Its about making a mix of 12 songs (isnt that what we ended up with?). I guess you can say random favourite songs xD And then we're supposed to send the CD to someone. No one is gonna know who sent the cd, and you dont get to know who youre sending to before youre done with the cd.
i would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey.
Alright, sounds like fun. Count me in if it is still possible!
it is! lets set a new date then?
I'm able to make it in one week but don't know about the others...
Plus there's one more thing - how are we going to settle who sends to who? Is someone going to pick names, mix them and then just send people name of their... beneficiary? Hah.
My tracklist is made, I just have to buy a CD, and design a nice cover. I guess I can have it all ready by the end of this week
Hey guys, wake uuuuup! My CD is complete too, what about setting the date and deciding how we're gonna make the "chain"? Is there anybody who is not interested in joining the "game" but would be willing to write down all the names and then tell each person to whom is he/she sending the CD? I could probably do that myself but it would be just half of fun to know the origin of the record I'm getting, hah Or does anyone have a better idea? Hit me up

"Endocrine disrupting compounds are major pollutants in the Potomac watershed, and we need to exercise the utmost caution when introducing these compounds into our rivers, streams and, ultimately, our drinking water," said Dr. John Peterson "Pete" Myers, chief scientist for Environmental Health Sciences of Charlottesville, Va.
"Water treatment facilities are not yet required to screen for endocrine disrupting contaminants, so they end up in our tap water," Myers said. "We aren't sure exactly what level of exposure causes harmful effects to human health, but if the intersex fish phenomenon is any indication, there's a critical need for regulatory agencies and decision makers to start addressing this issue."
Endocrine disrupting compounds are chemicals that affect growth, metabolism and reproduction in organisms such as humans and fish. They are found in pesticides, veterinary products, pharmaceuticals, personal care products and biosolids. These contaminants have become so widespread in the environment that they have even been detected in the urine of infants.
The State of the Nation's River report explains that land uses are providing a critical pathway for such chemicals to enter our water supply. Endocrine disrupting compounds are most prevalent in rivers and streams in industrialized, agricultural, and/or urbanized areas, with particularly high concentrations near sewage treatment plants or other sources of wastewater.

I went out of my way to get a copy of this RG on paper. 2 libraries in Virginia Beach did not have the issue of WSJ that it was in. Plus I rode a bike thru the first snowstorm of season. Finally found one in Norfolk, and I'm on my way. And I knew going in how hard it would be by looking at some of the question. Row C1: I thot this was GOTTFRIEDLEIBNIZ, than GEORGESCANTOR. Thinking that Bloom was going to be BANNER, I asked myself what Mathematician's name starts with REN-. Row H1: I was spelling this name RIHANNON. Maybe it has to do with Rihanna. And also she is a character in the Welsh epic The Mabinogion. Row G2. Thot this was SCHOOLBUS initially. Then BLACKBOX. Then I arrived at _ _ _FILTER because I thought Medium Bloom "Stolen inventory from" was LIFTED. Medium Bloom "Tennis champ Nadal" was one I luckily guessed on but I do worse in Sports than anything subject with the exception of rap music and Internet terminology. Row E2: Thot this was some breed of dog. Row J2: thot this was an earthbound vehicle. Somewhat surprised at what it turned out to be. Finally, Row F2: Last thing I had to enter in. Thot this was a musical group. Had a good laugh with it. & Probably the hardest of the RGs. Did this in about 2 hours and not hoping to get far with it. No mistakes and no use of references or any assistance from anybody. Those trips were worth it.
The story of a Welch witch ... helped that I was a Fleetwood Mac fan ...
Enjoy the Rows Garden puzzles very much.
Either I'm out of practice or this was harder than most. I never heard of the beverage either, but I never get the food ones. Poor sense of smell. I had trouble with the biscotti clue and the dessert in a boat for the same reason. I just never eat those things. I had no idea those vehicles went that fast. I kept trying to fit the word stallion but it just wouldn't work.
This was one of the hardest ones yet. It took hubby and me 3-4 hours total, but we finally got it. We had the answer for the bloom that ended up being 'to-do' long before we made the connection. That answer didn't seem to fit any of the clues. Very enjoyable.
Hillbilly girl - When you look at some drawings of the constellation Orion, you see that the 3 stars in a row depict the belt around Orion's waist. This comes from Greek mythology, not the Bible.
