It's been a depressingly impressive month for the Green Bay Packers. Injury upon injury has allowed backup after backup to keep the train rolling. Broken bones, sprained knees, frightening neurological cases have numbed the coaches, players and fans. Yet the team has won three straight because of uplifting performances from youngsters given the chance to play. How about a little good news?
Jermichael Finley is home. Moved from the Intensive Care Unit to a private room on Tuesday, he was discharged from the hospital today and will continue his recovery at home. There's still no idea how long it will take before he's able to play again. Might be sometime in 2014. Don't believe me? Just ask Sean Richardson.
An above average sized NFL safety from Vanderbilt who made the team as an undrafted free agent last year, Richardson showed great range and solid speed on special teams. That speed led to a collision at MetLife Stadium in week 11 and he didn't get up. Richardson suffered a neck sprain that ultimately led to fusion surgery between the C4 and C5 vertebrae. He missed all of the spring organized team activities and training camp practices while rehabilitating on his own or with the training staff. He was placed on the physically unable to perform list to start the season. Now six weeks into the campaign, those players on the PUP list have to either start practicing to hopefully be brought onto the active roster, get moved to the season ending injured reserve list or be placed on waivers. The three week window is now open. But Richardson was still just a spectator at practice. Until today. Sean got the news he has been waiting for, medical clearance to play the game he loves once more. I caught up with him in the locker room today.
Here's hoping both Sean and Jermichael have endured their last serious medical challenge.
Now back to the depressing medical news, the still lengthy injury report heading into Sunday night's game with the Minnesota Vikings at the Metrodome. The only change from Wednesday is linebacker Brad Jones who went from a full participant to limited with his hamstring injury. Mike McCarthy isn't alarmed, it'll take the full week to decide if Jones will return after missing a couple of games. Ruled out for this week are Clay Matthews, Jermichael Finley and James Jones. Nick Perry and Ryan Taylor did not practice while Jarrett Bush, Casey Hayward and James Starks were full participants.
The team kept the pads off, not so much because of the injuries but because McCarthy had it planned that way on his season long practice schedule. Under the collective bargaining agreement of 2011, players were able to convince the owners they can take only just a bit more than a dozen padded practices once the regular season begins. McCarthy had the guys work in pads twice during their early bye week so they won't hit again until they hit the Metrodome.
Aaron Rodgers, Datone Jones, C.J. Wilson and Randall Cobb were among the courtside viewers of the Milwaukee Bucks and the New York Knicks NBA Pre-Season game Wednesday night at the Resch Center, just a block away from Lambeau. Rodgers and Cobb were both introduced by the PA announcer and show on the video scoreboard. After a three point hit by Caron Butler, the new Bucks guard jogged back on defense and flashed the discount double check championship belt gesture toward Aaron. The Bucks were 105-95 winners.

The father of a 10-year-old Phoenix girl who authorities said died after another relative padlocked her in a footlocker pleaded guilty Wednesday to attempted child abuse in a plea deal accepted by Judge Susanna Pineda.
David Martin Deal, 53, originally faced a charge of child abuse for either causing or allowing his daughter, Ame Deal, to be thrown into a pool while she was locked inside the footlocker.
He was is accused of putting the child in the plastic box as a form of punishment.
He also pleaded guilty to a felony marijuana possession charge and was sentenced to probation, a $750 fine and 24 hours of community service.
David Deal wasn't charged in his daughter's death. Ame Deal was found dead on July 12, 2011, inside the footlocker.
He denied the child abuse allegation against him and pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The child's aunt has already pleaded guilty to abuse charges.
Two other Deal relatives are charged with first-degree murder in the child's death.
David Deal will be sentenced June 6 by Pineda.
The attempted child abuse charge carries a jail sentence of between five and 15 years and he could face lifelong probation and a $150,000.

Seattle Police on Tuesday released a dashcam video from an October 6th incident at which a man alleged he was beaten by officers.
The action comes in response to a lawsuit announced Monday by attorney James Egan on behalf of his client, Leo Etherly.
Etherly has said he was choked and beaten to near blindness after he was stopped in the Central District on suspicion of a hit and run involving a bicyclist.
Watch the video (Warning: Graphic language)
He said he was choked and hit by Officer Eric Faust after police thought Etherly had spit on them. Etherly said he did not spit but saliva came from his mouth from the choking.
No charges were brought against him and the case was dismissed.
"It was degrading" said Etherly, at a news conference Monday.
SPD played the dashcam video from the incident at a press conference Tuesday morning.
The video shows two officers attempting to arrest Etherly when a third officer became involved and put his hands around Etherly's neck and allegedly started to choke him.
The video shows the first two officers grabbing Etherly's arms and putting him spread eagle on the back of a patrol car. It was then the third officer performed what police call a "hands on neck" manuever in which the officer put his hands on Etherly's neck, mouth and nose simultaneously.
At this point, when the first two officers had Etherly restrained, the third officer removed his hands from Etherly's neck.
Police say it was then that Etherly clearly spit at the officers. Sergeant Sean Whitcomb described the incident as a "dangerous and harmful assault."
Etherly's attorney said his client was just clearing his throat after the "hands on throat" maneuver.
The video goes on to show the third officer punching Etherly in the face, after which Etherly fell behind the patrol car and it appears the officer punched Etherly a second time.
Egan had charged that SPD was deliberately suppressing the video. But SPD said it responds to dashcam video requests as they come in. "Since 2008, Mr. Egan alone has made 316 requests of the Seattle Police Department. He has 10 requests that are currently pending. His current request, like all others, will be handled in the order in which it was received," SPD said in a blog post late Monday.
Officer Faust has a good record. No record of excessive force. But after his supervisor was told about the incident a police investigation was started.
Seattle King County NAACP President James Bible said what happened October 6th is unacceptable.
"It adds insult to injury and increases the pain. What it does for the community is only perpetuates the mistrust," said Bible. "It was an action out of anger, not out of necessity. It is not the best of what our police department can be."
Bible said the NAACP plans to rally in protest of what happened to Leo Etherly and what has happened in other cases involving the SPD. The rally is scheduled for December 9th.

The Harmony test came back today. Our baby BOY has no trisomy concerns.
Oh so exciting on all the news. Congrats!
So glad everything was good on your test and BIG CONGRATULATIONS on your baby boy! !!
Yay and big congrats on the boy...
Congrats! All the cool kids have three of a kind.
Awesome ! Congrats mama! Can I ask How long did it take to get the results back?
Congratulations Dorcas on your third baby boy! The harmony results are such a relief to hear, happy for you mama
Mel (39) DH (37) Finally, a baby boy after 12 months of TTC!
April 2013 http://www.saferpills.org/
The lab tech told me 1 week, but the triage nurse told me 2. ;)
Thanks for all of your support ladies!
His name will be Gideon ... just not 100% sold on the middle name at the moment. If we're going to be traditional and honor people with it (we did that with DS1) then it will be Alan. But "Alan" is so normal for a girl named Dorcas ... though I think Gideon isn't terribly common.
My DH and I both have middle names that start with A. Mine is Ann and his is Allen, so we've continued that trend with the boys so the middle name must start with A. ;)
I love it! My sister was going to use Gideon if this baby has been a boy but they're expecting a girl.
Asimov! Gideon Asimov
Natalie [31] DH [40] 9/01, 1/06 NaturallyNatalie's Hair Accessories!
Gideon is so nice. Love it...
There are a couple of different genetic DNA tests out on the market now that allow for gender determination and genetic disorder testing via a blood sample from the mother. Harmony and MaterniT21 ... they can check for all of the trisomy disorders. The site for the Harmony test is: http://www.ariosadx.com/
Thanks for the info about the harmony test, never heard of that! Congrats on the baby boy!!
If you're 35 or older, I believe there's more insurance coverage than if you're not in the "Advanced Maternal Age" camp. My doctor said if it was going to be over $300 out of pocket they lab would call me to clear it. I never heard from anyone ... let us hope that was true!!!
Congrats and glad all healthy!!
I like Alan as middle name.

Subject: Was Bobby that Dumb or a Willing Martyr?
At the 1964 Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City when Bobby Kennedy was introduced to the crowd he received a 26 minute standing ovation. Later he is reported to have said,"they weren't cheering me, they were cheering him". (meaning deceased brother JFK).
So what's not to love about Bobby? He figthts organized crime, prosecutes old family friends when guilty of criminal activities, and ridicules sleazy witnesses during Senatorial hearings?
He sasses Hoffa and Giancanna, disses the CIA (actually if you google "Operation Mongoose" you will find out that Bobby was up to his ears in anti-Castro activity through the CIA including plots to asassinate the leader himself) and FBI head J Edgar Hoover.
Who the hell did he think he was anyway? Why he was a Kennedy to whom the nortmal rules of existence that advise and inform the wordsand actions of the rest of us do not apply. For a while he got a way with it. He got his way and survived on a smile and the Kennedy charm.
In addition to his incorruptability, he was also a brash, arrogant, abrasive and obnoxious person who was basically clueless about the realities of the world in which he lived for those who weren't born with multimillion dollar family fortunes to back them in their careers.
Bobby didn't know any more about the real world he was entering when he went to Washington than Emmit Till did about the racist state of Mississippi of the 50's where he was visiting. Such ignorance cost both Till and eventually Bobby Kennedy their lives.
Look at those campaign crowds and how unprotected
he was. Or the Ambassador hotel ballroom that was probably stuffed with twice the allowable number of people it should have had. It's as if 11/22/63 never happened--except that it did and Bobby and everyone associated with his campaign should have known better.
The great shame of it all was that Bobby was finally beginning to learn and understand about the realities of both the war in Vietnam and the struggle for civil rights by the oppressed at home in America.
His idealism, rhetoric, and ideas were far greater than big brother Jack from whose shadow he had finally emerged. He was reaching out to Dr King and others and had the potential to mend rifts that were pulling this country apart.
Instead, he collected enough animosity from the likes of LBJ, J Edgar Hoover, the CIA, the Pentagon, and organized crime that when the time came to liquidate him Bobby made it almost too easy to accomplish.
Everyone from the LAPD to the District Attorney's
office, from the FBI to the presiding judge, acted like the three stooges and nobody wondered much why this was so. Those who didn't stick to the script like the Naguchi the Coroner and that brave Latina woman who resisted the badgering of the CIA-LAPD goon trying to get her to change her story, were hounded and bullied relentlessly.
Was Bobby really that naieve and stupid or was he subconsciously desiring to be a martyr like big brother Jack? We shall never really know for sure, but the entire conduct of his career allows for either possibility.
Given the thorougness of the control exerted by the perpetrators of this crime, the anonymiity of the producers of this documentary, and its continued availability for viewing, it is also worth wondering if this production's existence is both a boast and a warning by the perps of this crime to any future politicians or other leaders about who is really in charge and what they are capable of doing.

How do you do yours? Do you do some things ahead, or all on Thursday morning, or do you assign food for everyone to bring?
For me Thanksgiving dinner used to be a real chore, and I would be so tired that I did not enjoy the meal until everyone left and I could plate up the food and zap it in the microwave. Now I am smarter and for years here is how I have done it.
One week before, I plan my table setting, get everything out, check for spots, wash if necessary, then pile it up on the dining room table. Three days before, I make my cranberry sauce, cover tightly and put in fridge. Next day, I make our dressing, and the gravy, into the fridge, well sealed. Next day the mashed potatoes and family green beans are made. Thanksgiving morning, I prep the turkey and prep the salad ingredients. Usually the table has been set by this time, glasses and plates turned upside down.
Our turkey is done on a Weber by a method called Pandora's Turkey. After prep of an 18 lb. turkey, it is put into a throw away foil pan, on a bed of ashy coals, lid is put on and it is not looked at or peeked at for three hours. Viola, it is done, browned and beautiful. During this time, the dressing warms to perfection in my crock pot. The mashed potatoes are heated slowly in the oven in a glass casserole dish. Green beans and gravy heat on the stove at the last few minutes. What ever juice is released from the turkey, gets sucked into the baster and put over the dressing and some into the gravy. Salad ingredients are put into a bowl and tossed and dressed while Gene is carving the turkey. Finally, I enjoy the meal, rested and relaxed!
I serve dinner buffet style, on warmed plates, and everyone takes their own plate to the table, even the kids.
I do it this way because our kids come up on Thursday. I ask one person to bring something for breakfast on Friday. One son brings the wine for the weekend.
Lunch on Friday is turkey sandwiches, which everyone makes their own. I also send turkey home with them for the kids lunches. We keep the rest of the leftovers for our dinner on Sunday night and a lunch or two.

Portal 2 review
When Valve released Portal in October of 2007, gamers were pleasantly surprised by its unique ability to tell an entertaining, well-written story through a puzzle game seen from the first person perspective traditionally reserved for shooters.
Portal 2 puts players back in the role of an orange-jumpsuited test subject named Chell, who awakens deep within the labs of Aperture Science many years after the events of the first game. In the first Portal, players had to navigate a series of puzzling science experiments, confront a malevolent AI named GLaDOS, and escape the facility alive. Portal 2 sends players back to the lab and stays true to the series' roots, while offering a bigger, prettier, and crazier storyline along with a new arsenal of tools.
As the action for Portal 2 kicks off, Chell meets a talkative spherical robot named Wheatley (masterfully voiced by Stephen Merchant) who seems eager to help her escape. What starts out as a fairly straightforward attempt to flee quickly becomes much more complicated. Throughout the journey's puzzles, twists, and turns, players discover more about Chell's predicament, the ethics-free legacy of Aperture Science, and the colorful denizens that helped shape it.
Due to the fact that Portal 2's story is one of its biggest draws (and rewards), I'll refrain from spoiling the proceedings further. (Suffice to say, Jonathan Coulton's closing song for the original Portal is a big hint.) More so than in other games, the dialog in Portal 2 is so consistently laugh-inducing that it actually functions to reward the player and the hysterical voice-over bits become extra incentives to soldier forward.
As in its predecessor, the puzzles in Portal 2 are incredibly well designed. Though Portal vets may find themselves slicing through the first third of the game's puzzles like a hot knife through butter, they soon become markedly more complex. A first glance into some of the later puzzle rooms can initially feel overwhelming, due to their massive size and number of interactive pieces. Trial and error are often necessary parts of discovery, and the sense of accomplishment achieved by getting through a particularly troublesome area is palpable. It's no small design feat that solving some of Portal 2's more intricate puzzles can actually make the player feel incredibly smart.
Portals aren't the only tools players will need to use to succeed. This time around, the portal gun is supplemented by special cubes that can redirect lasers, as well as re-directable light bridges and gravitational fields. Managing momentum is as fun as ever, and many of the puzzles require you to figure out a way to launch yourself across vast spaces. On top of that, three types of gel are eventually introduced. Blue gel turns any surface into a trampoline, orange gel increases movement speed, and white gel allows the player to shoot portals onto previously unaccommodating surfaces. While it's nearly impossible to describe the scores of clever ways these tools are used without spoiling their associated puzzles, you can imagine how crazy things can get when all of these elements must be made to work in concert. What I will say is that each of the new tools is a ton of fun to experiment with, and practically beg the player to do just that. Of course, the addition of these tools greatly expands the possible types of mind-bending scenarios.
Portal 2 also includes a cooperative multiplayer mode for two players. Rather than simply having friends run the single-player gauntlet together, co-op in Portal 2 is a completely separate storyline, complete with clever voice-over work. Co-op centers on two robots though, instead of human test subjects. The circular-bodied Atlas, who appears to have been based on the same type of robot as Wheatley from single-player, is joined by P-body, who looks like one of the game's turrets modified with arms and legs. Players team up to complete a series of themed chapters containing eight tests apiece - for science!
In addition to each being equipped with a portal gun, Atlas and P-body also have a series of gestures and commands that can be issued in-game. The gestures are mainly just humorous ways for the players to interact (high-fives, dancing, rock-paper-scissors), but the commands are more functional. They allow players to do things like point to a specific surface or issue a countdown clock, which is helpful when simultaneous button presses are required.
On that note, playing with voice communication enabled makes things a lot easier. Certainly, the suite of commands and text-based chat give players the tools they need to communicate without speaking, but I found that some of the games' more intricate puzzles became much easier when I could discuss the solution.
Progress in multiplayer is based on a per-player basis. Each time you begin a co-op game with someone you haven't played with before, you'll start from scratch. In one respect, this makes sense. Due to the progressive nature of the challenges, it's not unreasonable to want players to experience them chronologically. That said, this implementation almost guarantees that folks won't be playing a whole lot of co-op with random strangers, unless they simply want to play the first dozen levels over and over again. Once you've beaten a puzzle, the game lets you go back and replay it with the same partner; however, there's not much incentive to do so once the puzzle has already been solved. (I was pleased to note, however, that the PC to PS3 co-op test session I conducted with Shacknews' Steve Watts worked quite well for several levels, until the server crashed.)
Portal 2 also includes an in-game store, where players can spend real money on hats and other cosmetic enhancements for their co-op robots, including extra gestures and taunts. Though these knick-knacks only run a buck or two each, I still can't quite get my head around purchasing such stuff for a linear, puzzle-based experience. Unless Valve plans on releasing reasonably-priced co-op level packs at a regular clip (which I'd happily purchase), spending extra cash on virtual swag that only my co-op friends will see seems pretty ridiculous.
I had an absolute blast playing through both of Portal 2's campaigns, but I'm not sure that there's much reason for me to play through them again, beyond wanting to re-experience the witty script and impeccable voice-acting. A striking lack of replayability aside, Portal 2 still manages to serve up some of the best solo and cooperative experiences I've had in quite some time, thanks to its great puzzles and truly memorable characters. Provided that your notion of a game's value isn't tied too heavily to the number of hours you spend playing (or replaying) it, I'd highly recommend seeing what Aperture Science has in store for you this time. You monster.

The term 'gilding' covers a number of decorative techniques for applying fine gold leaf to solid surfaces such as wood, stone, or metal to give a thin coating of gold. A gilded object is described as 'gilt'. Where metal is gilded, it is traditionally known as ormolu, and was used for furniture mounts, mostly by the French. Parcel-gilt (partial gilt) objects are only gilded over part of their surfaces. The use of gilding dates back to Egyptian times, and has always been valued for its beauty, its highly skilled techniques and opportunity to display wealth.
Gilders cushion, tip, knife and gold leaf
Specialist tools and equipment are needed: a gilder's cushion, tip and knife. The cushion is a small padded board covered with suede, with a screen made of 4in high parchment or brown paper attached along one end of the cushion and halfway down both sides: this prevents the gold leaf being blown off, as it will do in the slightest draught. The gilder's tip is made of fine brush hair and is used for moving the gold leaf: the tip is rubbed against the face or hair to produce static, which is then used to lift the delicate leaf onto the cushion for cutting.
Below the gold are the layers of gesso and bole. Gesso is composed of fine plaster of Paris and animal glue size – traditionally made from rabbit skin. It is applied with a brush, like paint, layer after layer, until the correct thickness is achieved. The Armenian bole, the final layer, gives a richness to the gold: it resembles reddish clay - due to the presence of iron oxide - and is again mixed with size. The surface is burnished with an agate burnisher to an almost mirror finish. This is then wetted, to activate the size, and the gold leaf laid on top. When it is perfectly dry the excess leaf is brushed away and the surface burnished again to make the gold shine.

I love the paper cutout's you've created to frame your beautifully blended dog. And using the frame as what looks like a dock or pillar is awesome. Very creative LO!
Still waiting for my post with the page layout to be approved by the moderator. This is a great mini to add to my collection of your sea minis... Thanks for the comment in the gallery, Darlene.
And now that they are finally showing up... you may see I have been all over the board having a ball with the challenges.


text: Dogs come in a multitude of sizes, shapes, and breeds with very different personalities and traits. When you're looking for that forever pet, you need to decide how he/she will fit in with your lifestyle. Do you own a home with plenty of room for a dog to run and play or do you have an appartment or condo with little space to spare. Are you active with time for lots of pet exercise or do you want a dog that will cuddle with you and just be there for you? Do your homework before choosing your pet!

To Rise Again at a Decent Hour
Joshua Ferris
Paul O'Rourke is a dentist with a successful practise in Manhattan. His long workdays are punctuated by feelings of unrequited love for his ex-girlfriend, religious disagreements with his long-term hygienist, and frequent cigarette breaks. His evenings are scheduled around Red Sox games. So it goes, until someone begins to impersonate him online. What started as an outrageous violation of privacy soon becomes something more frightening – the possibility that the online "Paul" might be a better version of the man in the flesh. As Paul's quest to learn why his identity has been stolen deepens, he is forced to confront his troubled past and his uncertain future in a life disturbingly split between the real and the virtual. Longlisted for the 2014 Man Booker Prize, Ferris' novel is profound, brilliant and funny. Paul's journey to self-awareness is amusing and thought-provoking, allowing readers to go on their own existential journey.
Thief's Magic
Trudi Canavan
In the first of this new series by fan favourite Trudi Canavan, readers will find two stunning narratives set amidst a world with a refreshing take on magic and the industrial revolution. The first, Tyen, is a student of "archaeology" whose field work includes raiding tombs for treasure. During a raid he finds a magical book that claims it used to be a woman, a sorceress specialising in bookbinding. In the second narrative, Rielle had grown up learning that magic is a sin, causing her to hide the fact that she could see its after-effects. When she falls in love with the painter Izare, she is drawn into the less savoury parts of town, where the desperate had been known to turn to magic. These events catapulted both these characters out of their comfortable worlds, sending them on the run, and learning new things about their world even as each decision they make may change it.

parenting Born Reading: Bringing Up Bookworms in a Digital Age - From Picture Books to eBooks and Everything in Between
Jason Boog
Any parent who is serious about their child's development will be thinking of this – how do I teach them to read? But any parent who wants their child to not only read but continue to learn and love reading, needs to seriously consider some supplementary reading material themselves.

Acknowledging the power of e-books and other electronic media, without discounting the worth of print, Boog does well to give a full view of this endeavour that parents struggle with – how to get them to read, what to read to them and eventually lead the little ones fall in love with reading.

The List
Siobhan Vivian
Every year, eight girls are chosen. Two from each grade – four prettiest, and four ugliest. No one knew who started it, but pretty or ugly, once your name is in the list, your life would be forever changed.

Tom Riihimaki
by Bob Felt
Tom Riihimaki, age 61, died May 23, 2006 at home.
Tom founded OMS (Oriental Medical Supplies), now the oldest supplier of acupuncture needles and alternative healthcare supplies in the U.S. Tom is one of the founders of our field but was a quiet and private person who preferred rock climbing and judo to a public presence. Thus, he is virtually unknown.

Football season is well underway, and so are the injuries that come with it. Children are the ones being hurt the most.
If you think you're ready for some football, you haven't met the Bayside Raiders. Come fall, these players, ages 5 to 16, are ready to put a bruising on the opposing team.
But, several weeks ago, during a scrimmage it was George Niztasos who put his head down a little too low. The 13-year-old found himself on the receiving end of a bruising. Niztasos was banged up pretty bad. But you couldn't really see the injury because it was to his brain. Doctors told him and his dad, a coach for the raiders, that George suffered a concussion.
It turns out there are a lot of Georges out there. According to a new study by the Cincinnati Children's Hospital, traumatic brain injuries among children rose a headache-inducing 92 percent between 2002 and 2011. Hospital admissions increased 85 percent while the severity of the injuries decreased.
Doctors at the Winthrop University Hospital pediatric emergency room say they have a hunch why the numbers shot up so much and say why three is not the charm when it comes to concussions: people are more aware and therefore seek medical evaluation. If you have three concussions, you need to take a break.
It is not just football. Athletes ending up in ER with head trauma from activities like rollerblading, skateboard, skiing and sledding.

Deep Penetrating Light Therapy
FDA-approved arthritis and muscle pain reliever
Focused, hand-held relief for stiff muscles and joints and minor aches and pains. This travel-sized infrared lamp is as powerful as our larger Deep Penetrating Light but small enough to go everywhere you go for targeted, instant relief. The focused, all-natural LED red and infrared light penetrates and absorbs deep into tissue to stimulate cellular regeneration for pain relief. The Nuve Deep Penetrating Light is FDA approved to treat the pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. The treatment only takes 14 minutes a day. Includes handle, head, power cord and user guide. Made in China.
Gift wrap not available. 7½"L x 2¾"W x 1¼"H 5 oz
Benefits of RED Light Therapy Treatments
Stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen is the most common protein found in the body. Collagen is the essential protein used to repair damaged tissue and to replace old tissue. It is the substance that holds cells together and has a high degree of elasticity. By increasing collagen production less scar tissue is formed at the damaged site.
Stimulate fibroblastic activity, which aids in the repair process. Fibroblasts are present in connective tissue and are capable of forming collagen fibers.
Increase vascularity (circulation) . Circulation is increased by increasing the formation of new capillaries, which are additional blood vessels that replace damaged ones. New capillaries speed up the healing process by carrying more oxygen as well as more nutrients needed for healing and they can also carry more waste products away.
Stimulate the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) . ATP is the major carrier of energy to all cells. ATP provides the chemical energy that drives the chemical reaction of the cell. It is the body's fuel.
Increase lymphatic system activity. Edema, which is the swelling or natural splinting process of the body, has two basic components. The first is a liquid part, which can be evacuated by the blood system, and the second is comprised of the proteins, which have to be evacuated by the lymphatic system. Research has shown that the lymph vessel diameter and the flow of the lymph system can be doubled with the use of light therapy. The venous diameter and the arterial diameters can also be increased. This means that both parts of edema (liquid and protein) can be evacuated at a much faster rate to relieve swelling.
Increase RNA and DNA synthesis. This helps damaged cells to be replaced more promptly. Reduce the excitability of nervous tissue. The photons of light energy enter the body as negative ions. This calls upon the body to send positive ions like calcium among others to go to the area being treated. These ions assist in firing the nerves thereby relieving pain.
Increase phagocytes, which is the process of scavenging for and ingesting dead or degenerated cells by phagocyte cells for the purpose of clean up. This is an important part of the infection fighting process. Destruction of the infection and clean up must occur before the healing process can take place.
Induce a thermal like effect in the tissue. The light raises the temperature of the cells although there is no heat produced from the diodes themselves.

Nüve Handheld Deep Penetrating Light Therapy
Frequently Asked Questions This information has been provided by the manufacturer.
When will I feel better or see some positive results?
You may feel better or experience positive results immediately. Some individuals may have to treat themselves over days or weeks before noticing results.
I have arthritis in my hands. Will I be able to use the system?
Nu¨ve is designed with the arthritis sufferer in mind being lightweight and easy to hold.
I don't feel any difference and I'm still in pain. I'm not sure it's working.
There is such a variety of pain symptoms and causes, and everyone's pain problem is so unique, that it is difficult to estimate how long until you start feeling relief. First, are you holding it directly on the area of concern (it can be directly on the skin, but no more that ¼" off the skin)? Next, it is safe to use the system more that 14 minutes at a time and more than twice a day. Often it takes some extra treatments to loosen the muscles and ease the pain.
I only see 4 lights on – I don't think it's working.
You should see 4 red LED lights, one at the top, bottom, left and right on the head. The remaining 56 infrared lights are not visible with our bare eyes. What you are seeing means your unit is working as it was intended to work.
How often and how long should I use the Nüve Handheld?
When using the Nüve Handheld for pain applications, it is recommended to use the system for 14 minutes (per area) two times per day. The Nüve Handheld is designed to run for 25 minutes and will automatically shut off.
How do I use the Nüve Handheld?
When you receive your dpl® Nüve Handheld, you will take it out of the box insert the head onto the handle. Please be sure to line up the notches (small notch at the top of the handle) twist (turn) the head to the right to lock in place. Insert the power supply (checking to make sure that there is a green light on the power supply) and push the "on" button (located on the front of the handle). You will see the colored LEDs when the "on" button is pushed. The infrared LEDs are working but can't be seen with the human eye.
Some cell phones, digital cameras or camcorders are able to pick up the infrared LEDs when using them to view the infrared light.
For pain applications it is recommended to use the system for 14 minutes (per area) two times per day.
The Nüve handheld fan will come on after 3 minutes of use. If the system is turned off and then turned back on it will take 3 more minutes for the fan to come back on. Every time the handheld it turned off it will take 3 minutes for the fan to come back on.
Do not cover ventilation holes on the back of the system with clothing or any other articles. Covering may increase the skin's surface temperature and the system (as a safety feature) will shut off if the temperature is too warm. In the event that the system shuts off during your treatment, it is recommended that you allow the system to cool down before restarting.
How long will it be before I have results using the Nüve Handheld?
For pain applications ~ depending on the pain and application, you could possibly feel relief immediately or after a few treatments. For deeper pain symptoms, you may need several treatments before seeing/feeling results.
Does the Nüve Handheld work for everyone?
Infrared therapy is proven to work on all skin types. For pain applications most everyone will feel comfort and improvement when using the system.
Can the Nüve Handheld hurt my eyes? No studies have found any harmful effects to the eyes when using infrared therapy. However, it's recommended that the eyes be closed while using the system. Don't look directly at the lights when the system is turned on.
Why can I not see all the LEDs light up when the Nüve Handheld is turned on? The primary head that comes with the Nüve Handheld has 60 LEDs (56 880nm Infrared, 4 660nm Red LEDs). You will be able to see the 4 red LEDs when the system is turned on.... the infrared is also on and working but not visible to the human eye.
Troubleshooting tips: If you are unable to see the 4 red LEDs make certain that the notches on the head are lined up (small notch at the top of the handheld) twist (turn) the head to the right until it locks into place. Check power supply for green light.
Can the Nüve Handheld be used with other products?
Yes, the dpl® Nüve Handheld can be used alone or with the use of pain cream products. Avoid products containing heat-activated ingredients while using the Nüve Handheld. It is recommended to use such products after your Nüve Handheld treatment.
Will the Nüve Handheld hurt?
No, unlike lasers, injections or other invasive treatments the Nüve Handheld is non-thermal, non-ablative and non-invasive treatment. Clients report no discomfort or pain associated with the Nüve Handheld treatments.
I have high blood pressure – will using the Nüve Handheld hurt me?
There is no evidence that by using the Nüve Handheld will increase blood pressure. We do recommend contacting your physician if you are concerned.
Does Deep Penetrating Light Therapy have FDA Approval?
Yes, the Nüve has been cleared by the FDA for the relaxation of muscles and relief of muscle spasms; temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pains, and stiffness; temporary relief of minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis; and to temporarily increase local blood circulation.
How long will the LEDs last on my Nüve Handheld?
The LEDs are rated for about 2,500 hours – depending on usage should last for many years. LEDs are not like light bulbs with filaments but have solid state chips inside.
Will the Nüve Handheld help with other issues?
YES, the Nüve Handheld has been designed to be used for both pain and skin care applications by using a form of energy called "photons" to penetrate deep into the body easing pain and repairing tissues. The Nüve Handheld is a non-invasive, drug free therapy which can be applied to your specific and individual needs.

The 1911 T5 Pinkerton Cabinets are one of those sets that seem to elude many collectors. The cards are tough, very tough in fact. Recently, a private collector with 49 of these tobacco branded cabinets decided to part with his treasures. Included in the massive lot of items are examples of the infamous Shoeless Joe Jackson (pictured) as well as Hall of Famers like Christy Mathewson, Cy Young, Napoleon "Nap" Lajoie, and Eddie Plank. Luckily, every collector has the chance to acquire one of these hobby gems as the group has been put up for sale by Hunt Auctions in their current auction.
Produced in 1911 and designated as the T5 set in the American Card Catalog, these sepia toned photographs were mounted on cardboard stock that measures roughly 4-¾" by 7-¾". While the mounts are often grey, the cards also appear against a tan background. For that matter, you can find non-mounted examples with some frequency. In those instances, it is possible to find the cards with postcard or scorecard backings.
The cards themselves feature various baseball stars in the midst of playing their favorite game (or at least the one they were most likely best at). At the bottom of each image, you will find the player name along with the designated card number, their position, and their team at the time of issue. More on the find and the cards themselves after the jump!

Dawn Cooke: I Hate to Burst Your Bubble!
By Dawn Cooke
Lately, I have had some cynical views toward the state of tattoo culture and pop culture in general and I have had to apologize for affecting sensitivities. So I have been researching, writing and thinking about why I feel this way. The phenomenon of counter-culture becoming popular culture has been written about quite a lot. If you are interested in this topic the book, Nation of Rebels is a good one. What I see, is that we have an overly competitive narcissistic consumer culture that has really negative effects on individuals and on society as a whole. A person can get swept away by the tide if they aren't careful. I have come dangerously close too many times personally…
Media in Western culture is so biased that you never know what's truth or fiction anymore. There's something wrong when marketing and media catch phrases are reality, handmade and artisan. And suddenly those words mean nothing at all. People have been starved for authenticity since before I was born! Real isn't something you will find on TV or the Internet… If you want a real experience you go out into the world and find one in-person right? Hollywood can't create real for you, but they damn sure try to create the illusion!!! Hollywood creates people like Charles Manson and Roman Polanski…
Real people DO shit; they don't sit around watching it on TV or become consumed by Facebook. Why is there this huge obsession with fame and celebrity? Because that is what we are fed from the time we can sit up in a bouncy chair. Are we being fed a lie? If people spent more time living their dreams and less time fantasizing about it there might be more peace in the world. But people believe that they need all these possessions and money to make things happen.
Here's an idea, couldn't we make the things we use here in our own country? Are we really the LAZY and ENTITLED Americans our critics say we are? Are we a nation of fat slobs who just want to be entertained? And YET so many other countries try to be like us. Hey world, "We the people…" aren't the government! We think we deserve everything with minimal effort, the rest of the world is watching and they are like, "Screw you America, we need a piece of the pie." And then what do we do? We (the government) stage a coup or just go bomb people and take what they have. Do we really give a shit about the human atrocities going on around the world? I can't believe that we (the government) do because we (the people) keep letting it all happen and turn the other cheek to watch Miami Towing, Ink Master, The Greatest Model Cupcake Chef. We want a spectacle like the Romans did, but unlike the Romans we can't stomach real blood and guts!
On the lighter side, I kind of like the idea that I can now walk down the street without being looked at like a criminal or a freak. It does feel good to be mildly accepted by society. I experienced a shadow of how it used to be today while I was at the gym. I went for a swim and these two older ladies (age 70 or so) both looked at me like I was going to eat them. I smiled and said hello and they both turned their noses up at me. I have to say, in a way that was refreshing. I wonder how strange the world seems to that generation. What sucks about my generation and younger one is; everyone thinks that there's this magical cloud that takes you to the top, or that you have to claw your way there stomping everyone in the wake. Once we figure out there's no substitute for hard work maybe we'll all be better off. That's the secret! Image doesn't have too much to do with it.
When I started getting tattooed in the late 90s, which wasn't all that long ago, it was still a subversive culture. A lot has changed in that short amount of time. Tattoos totally play into our vanities as a society right now. But if you know anything about history you will know that tattooing popularity comes and goes. I'm telling you the truth when I say that it was never acceptable to be a heavily tattooed woman in society in the 80s and 90s, and even before.
It was never fashionable and now we have girls calling themselves models with tattoos all up onto their hands and necks and faces. To me that is interesting because what was once an anti-social statement is now a fashion statement. But what are those individuals all going to do when tattoos aren't in fashion? Tattoos are permanent and fashion is constantly changing. I got tattooed as a rebellion against society's ideals about beauty. So when tattoos aren't fashionable I'll still be glad I did it. I hope everyone will feel the same way!
When old people ask me what I'm going to do when I'm 80 with all these tattoos, I say, "I'm going to be ugly either way! At least now I'll have some pretty colors on me."
If you want, take the narcissism personality disorder quiz just for fun!!! If you want to help me do a study about narcissism e-mail me with your results, age and how many tattoos you have. I'll post my findings and keep individuals anonymous of course! I took it and scored an 8…
Ironically I doubt anyone who reads my blogs is a narcissist…What can I blog about to attract a narcissist? "Hot fake breasted women, here to do your bidding." Or how about "How to paint on the perfect eyebrows." Ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!

Beautiful and brilliant, Dawn.
Thought-provoking, as always!
I have taken that test in the past and I will also take it again.
It'd be interesting to hear what people think about their own results, and to see the data compiled from our diverse culture/ group.
June 25, 2012 at 4:12 PM
Good post, Dawn!
Hah, I took the test and scored an !* (18). Scoring highest in the Authority(6), Self-Sufficiency(4) and Superiority(3) and I'm quessing average(blue) in the other categories. So not quite narcessistic but close. I do think this is mostly due to being successfully self employed and creating my own job five years ago. I don't think I would have scored the same while working for the previous employer. To touch on this subject further if you're interested, I watched an interview with Jay Leno once where he stated the need of some narcissistic qualities to becoming successful. Check it out on the show "Actors Studio" probably found somewhere on Youtube.
June 26, 2012 at 4:05 PM
Thank you for putting in words some of the things that bother me about our industry. I started getting tattooed in 95 and started tattooing in 97 and I feel like I'm starting to hate this industry. I feel alittle better now and I took the test I scored a 7 and I'm 35, if that helps at all.
June 27, 2012 at 1:36 AM
Hey Dawn…
So far, seventy-two people clicked that button…
(That was a pretty awesome kung-fu move there, lady! Do it again…;)
June 27, 2012 at 5:00 PM
I'm 33 and I scored 26. Guess I'm a narcissist then! Dammit. If I had to count how many tattoos I had it'd be around 80 or so. I'm about 50% covered. Lots more to go. Good article!!

Oh yeah…the eve of March! It's been a long, cold winter, and though neither the length nor the chill appear to be lifting any time soon, there's just something about March that makes you think spring. When March rolls around, the days are noticeably longer and there's always an "excuse me" 43 degree day in there. I usually get my first car window roll-down in March. Baseball gets very real in March.
Ahh baseball. How we've missed you.
So in honor of its return, let's look back. And since this winter has massively sucked for all of us, let's get out our aggression in the process. Ladies and gentlemen, 6 minutes of hit batsmen and bench clearing brawls:
Don't you love the guys who trot in from the bullpen for these? Like, "Uh oh! The middle relief as arrived! It just got real up in here!" Way to spring into action, fellas. Thanks for coming.
