The use of a condom is essential to prevent an HIV infection and other sexually transmitted diseases in the area of the anus. Whilst it is very important, condoms do not completely protect from an infection with HPV. The HPV is very common in the genitals of gay men (70%) and HIV-positive people(90%), but in many occasions the virus does not cause the characteristic lesions (they look like a cauliflower) in the penis or the anus. For this reason, condoms are always necessary, even if there are no signs of warts on the penis or the anus. The HPV is easily transported by objects or hand contact, so all the necessary precautions are required (e.g. washing). Also, the HPV is easily transferred in the mouth and the pharynx.
- The anal intercourse should be performed gradually and with the partner's will. Violent sex usually leads to injury, so infections can be frequent. Firstly, the anal sphincters should be loosen with proper preparation and relaxation exercises.
- The use of water-soluble lubricant is necessary. If the lubricant is fat-soluble, the condom may burst.
Never attempt an anal penetration if you have taken any medicines or drugs.
Be sure not to have multiple sexual partners because a possible infection by viruses or bacteria is multiplied on this occasion.
Never use cortisone ointments because the frequent infection with HPV may appear with anal warts.
- Avoid smoking.
- Every year blood tests have to be done in order to discover a possible infection with HIV, hepatitis and syphilis, and also anal smear cultures for gonococcus and chlamydia.
- Every three years (but every year for HIV-positive men and women) a high resolution anoscopy should be performed in order to find out an infection or dysplasia caused by HPV.

Cavtat is a picturesque town on the most southern tip of the Dubrovnik Riviera. Sandwiched between a classic Renaissance town on one side, and beaches on the other, the town is also surrounded by fragrant cypress forest. If you're looking for an authentic Croatian holiday experience in 2019 / 2020, Cavtat is an ideal choice. The town dates back to the 15th century and features a picturesque harbour, gorgeous pebbled beaches and a pretty town centre. The town's narrow streets wind around plenty of lovely sights and attractions, including museums and architectural finds. Set to the south of the vibrant Dubrovnik, Cavtat has a more laid-back atmosphere in comparison but has no shortage of things to do and see.

The region has mild winters and warm autumns and springs, with temperatures staying between 13 and 21 degrees Celsius. If you're looking for ideal sunbathing weather, book your holiday for July or August, which sees the mercury soar to up around 25 degrees Celsius. Cavtat is a great destination for holidays in Croatia if you're a fan of water-sports, with the sea reaching staying warm at around 21 degrees Celsius during the summer period.

Top attractions
Cavtat is one of the most charming destinations in Croatia, with a perfect balance of tranquil beaches, winding ancient streets and lush green trees. Cavtat has a rich heritage and culture as well as sunny beaches, making it ideal for those looking for a balance between a cultural break and a sun, sea and sand holiday. There's a wide selection of things to do here, from visiting historic attractions to sunbathing, shopping and water-sports. Some of the top historic attractions include the famous baroque St Nicholas Church, the Renaissance Rector's Palace and Bukovac House, a museum which was formerly the birthplace and early home of Croatian artist Vlaho Bukovac.
Eating out
As with much of Croatia, Cavtat has a wide and distinctive selection of food available. The country has a culinary identity that is mainly split between two cultures, that of Central Europe, and the mostly seafood-based cuisine from the Mediterranean. If you like a drink, you'll enjoy the varied range of wines and strong spirits on offer here too. In Cavtat you can choose from dining either at a restoran (restaurant) or a konoba (tavern), with the taverns offering a more relaxed, simple appeal. For Croatians, the main meal of the day is lunch, or rucak, while dinner, or vecera, is often smaller and less complicated. As Cavtat is well-accustomed to welcoming foreign tourists, restaurants offer a comprehensive selection of food around the day, making it easy to keep refreshed throughout the day. If you'd like to get better accustomed with the wonderful gastronomy of the region and sample the main Croatian specialities, visit some of the most popular restaurants in Cavtat, including Dolium, Konavoka, Cavtat and Bugenvilla.
If you're searching for the right place in Croatia for your next family holiday, Cavtat is an excellent choice. The town's peaceful blue seas and serene pebble beaches, coupled with far fewer crowds than many other main tourist resorts in Croatia, make it an ideal option for a family break. With a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, you'll feel right at home as you soon as you get to Cavtat. There are also many opportunities to meet plenty of other families so that your kids can play together. Some of the best family activities in the area are based on and around the water, including swimming, snorkelling and even paddle-boarding. You can buy reasonably-priced snorkelling masks at many shops in Cavtat and take a trip to the nearby Rat Peninsula, located beneath Cavtat's old town area close to the harbour, to see some incredible corals and small fish. If you have the option to, it's good to time a family holiday between June and September to make best use of the gorgeous summer weather and the festival season. During the peak period, Cavtat hosts a number of live music performances, sports tournaments and cultural events which are good fun for all the family. Another fun family activity is to visit Dubrovnik, Croatia's foremost tourist destination, for some shopping and to visit the city's famously beautiful harbour.
Action & Adventure
If you're looking to keep active on your Croatian holiday, Cavtat is a lovely location that caters to all your adventure needs. There are boat trips departing frequently to nearby islands, with plenty of picturesque swimming spots to enjoy a dip in the warm waters. There's often a waterpark with sea kayaking, inflatables, a diving and boating club. Other active things to do include taking long walks and hikes around the countryside, playing tennis on the well-maintained local courts, mountain and terrain biking, water-skiing, both shallow and deep sea fishing and wakeboarding.
Cavtat's coastline has a range of picturesque pebble bays and glittering ocean waters. The palm-lined bay has plenty of well-sheltered rocky coves to explore, some of which have beach bars and good amenities. Cavtat offers beautiful views over the sea, making this an ideal destination for booking a romantic waterside hotel with sea views to impress your significant other.
Cavtat has a relatively compact but vibrant nightlife scene, with a selection of clubs, bars and pubs to visit and plenty of people to meet. In spite of the fact that there's only a small number of clubs and discos in the town, it's easy to find evening and night-time entertainment including places to drink, enjoy live music and dance. The Caffe Bar Delfin is located beneath the St Nicholas Church and is usually the first bar that visitors come across when you first come into the harbour and promenade. More peaceful and quiet than other bars as it's the first bar in the row, this is a good evening venue if you'd prefer a quiet beer and a conversation. The Amoret Bar is one of a number of cafes and bars which overlook the bay and is situated beneath St Nicholas' Church. This bar has great music for dancing and keeps things fresh with a playlist that features lots of different styles. The Beach Bar Cool faces west toward the water, offering some incredible views of the bay. This is a good choice for a buzzing party atmosphere and great music, making it one of the most popular nightlife spots at the weekend.
If you're planning a special Croatian couple's getaway in 2018, Cavtat's picturesque winding streets, lush greenery and tranquil beaches make the perfect setting for making incredible memories with your loved one. Couples that enjoy a culturally enriching holiday will love Cavtat's rich heritage and lifestyle, with a good selection of historic attractions and fun things to do as a couple. Several local attractions combine history and art, making this a fascinating setting for art and architecture-loving couples. These include the baroque St Nicholas Church, Renaissance Rector's Palace and the Bukovac House, where one of Croatia's foremost artists, Vlaho Bukovac, was born. Cavtat is also a great choice of destination in Croatia for fuss-free, get-up-and-go couple's holiday as you can simply stroll down to the promenade for the best spot to enjoy a refreshing drink and watch the world go by.
Cavtat has a long and rich heritage that dates back to the 6th century BC, when the original city was founded by the Greeks as Epidaurus. Many civilisations have come and gone from Cavtat including the Byzantines, Avars and Slavs. When you visit Cavtat you'll want to immerse yourself in the wonderful culture by visiting the famous historical sights and attractions in the area, which include the Old Town, St Nicholas' Church, a monastery and traditional houses. Cavtat's main claim to fame is being the birth place of Vlaho Kukovac, a renowned master of Croatian art. This majestic building now exhibits his works and other memorabilia relating to the artist's life, including personal belongings of the Bukovac family. Another cultural highlight is the Baltazar Bogisic collection, housed in the Prince's Palace. This collection serves to preserve the legacy of Cavtat intellectual and scientist, Baltazar Bogistic. At the library you'll find priceless books, archived materials and artistic gems that used to belong to the Bogisic family. The Racic Family Mausoleum dates from 1921 and is situated in the St.Roch cemetery. The family of wealthy ship-owner Racic built this mausoleum from white stone bussed in from Brac Island, which was sculpted into the shape of a dome, while the bell and door are cast in bronze. A beautiful and fascinating cultural highlight, the mausoleum features poignant sculptures that chart the different stages of human life.

Pittsburgh is in the enviable position, though, of having a lot of buzz generated by their performance last year and having the Last Best Hope for the NHL wearing the black and Vegas gold. The Caps are, as any fan of the club knows, a team that has had a history of struggling at the gate.
Hockey might be the most fan-friendly sport there is when it comes to fan-player contact. Players seem to be especially willing to make themselves accessible to fans of the sport. To have players take the time to make a couple of dozen or so phone calls is a credit to them in terms of both their attitudes toward fans and the seriousness that they bring to making the franchise successful.
It is also a nice, as well as savvy, touch on the part of the Caps front office. Whatever one thinks of the pricing strategy the club might pursue (and we've been there, so we won't rehash that), this is a club that desperately needs to put fans in the stands. As Donald Brashear put it in Masisak's piece:
"We really need the fans' support. It's a big part of our success, and at times when we get down we could use a little pep, a little more from the stands."
So fair is fair...nice work, guys.

Government to pave Ganta-Sanniquellie Highway
NIMBA COUNTY-The Government of Liberia has assured the people of Nimba County of its commitment to pave the road linking Ganta to Sanniquellie.
The assurance was contained in remarks made by President Sirleaf during brief interactions with some residents of Nimba County, along the road when she inspected the Ganta to Sanniquellie highway.
President Sirleaf said:" The Liberian Government's intervention is due to Arcelor Metal's failure to live up to its commitment of undertaking the project."
She however said:" The project will cause homes to be destroyed, as government is not in the position to compensate you, so you must sacrifice. "
The President tour of Nimba County Sunday, February 19, 2017 was graced by Senior Senator Thomas Grupee and newly appointed Superintended Dorr Cooper.
The residents then praised the Liberian Government for the many developments in Nimba County, and welcomed the pending road project, but begged government to provide some compensation for the destruction of their homes.
President Sirleaf was in Nimba as part of the second and final leg of her nationwide tour, after visiting Western Liberia recently.
While in Nimba, the President toured several towns and villages and held town hall meetings with the people of Nimba County.

Steve Spangler Science never lets us down.
Today was a perfect day to make shaker slime.
Measuring carefully.
The cups came with ounce markings on the outside. It was very easy to measure out two ounces of clear slime goo.
Then we added a color fizzing tablet to make our slime pretty.
There was plenty of supplies in this one kit to invite the neighbors over to enjoy the fun.
After mixing in the cross-linker solution, shake, shake, shake!
The instruction sheet gives an explanation of the experiment and teaches about polymers.
Gracie's slime.
Luke is smiling here.
But, this is what Luke really thought about holding the slime. He has never liked to get too gooey.
Science is fun!

ZWILLING J.A. Henckels
ZWILLING Carrara Nonstick Ceramic Fry Pan
The new nonstick.
Heads up! Additional promotions do not apply to this item.
Our love of ceramic cookware is no secret, so we're thrilled to add this forged aluminum pan with a nonstick ceramic coating to our arsenal. Ceramic is one of your best bets if you're looking for an alternative to PFOA-treated nonstick pans (that dark, slippery coating we normally think of when we think of nonstick). The durable coating makes it a longer-lasting choice than traditional nonstick pans, and the pan's aluminum core is ideal for conducting heat quickly and evenly. For nonstick jobs like scrambled eggs and searing fish, it's bound to become a regular part of your pot-and-pan rotation—just make sure to store it separately from the rest of your collection to protect the ceramic from wear.
The ZWILLING Carrara Nonstick Ceramic Fry Pan has a heavyweight feel and is made with care in Italy. Features include:
- Nonstick ceramic coating that is scratch and abrasion resistant. It's PTFE & PFOA-free (environmentally friendly and all-natural);
- Oven safe up to 300˚F / 150˚C;
- Requires little to no oil for impeccable searing, frying, and browning;
- Rivetless interior for easy cleaning;
- Forged aluminum construction ensures that the heat is distributed evenly;
- Compatibility with all cook tops, including induction;
- Closed aluminum rim = keeps chipping at bay;
- Ergonomically shaped stay-cool handle.

Care & Notes
Dishwasher safe, although hand washing is recommended. To remove burnt food from pan, soak pan in hot water for 30 minutes. Clean using a soft cloth, sponge, or plastic scrub. Avoid using steel wool, nylon scrubbing pads, or abrasive cleaning products on ceramic surface.
Allow pan to cool completely before washing, as drastic changes in temperature can weaken ceramic coating.
Ceramic coating is non-reactive.
To preserve coating, use only wooden, silicone, plastic or nylon utensils on pan. Avoid using metal utensils in pan as they can scratch the ceramic coating. Never cut food in the pan.
Use low to medium heat on cooktop when using pan, as high heat can damage the ceramic surface.
Recommended that you use a small amount of oil or butter to coat surface of the pan, as it will increase longevity of the ceramic coating. Avoid using cooking sprays as they can lead to residue build up over time.
To store pan, separate from other cookware or use a napkin or other protector (such as a Lid Master) to protect the ceramic surface from wear.

LaGrange completed a perfect week with an 84-36 win over Mary Baldwin in a USA South game Sunday in Mariotti Gym.
The win capped a 3-0 week for the Panthers, now 10-4 overall and 4-1 in USA South play. The Panthers host conference leading Piedmont on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m.
"We had an excellent team effort today against Mary Baldwin," Coach Lee Buchanan said. "All 16 players who got in the game scored and that is really special.
"We talk about team basketball and its nice to see everyone contribute."
The Panthers did not have a player in double figures. Marilauren Farr and Lauren Johnson each had nine points to lead the team.
The Panthers shot 53.7 percent for the game. They held Mary Baldwin (0-15, 0-7 USA South) to 14.3 percent shooting in the second half and 23.1 percent for the game.
"It was good to see the ball go in the basket for us. We spend a lot of time on shooting so all the work is paying off," Buchanan noted. "Plus, we were very unselfish today with 21 assists on 29 baskets."
The Panthers never trailed in the game. They led 24-14 after the first quarter. Mary Baldwin's Kaybria Johnson kept her team close with 11 of her game-high 16 points.
The Panthers built a 39-22 lead by halftime. In the third quarter, the lead continued to grow as the Panthers led 65-28 heading to the final period.

Instagram (@kaylamking), you know that I'm basically an 80 year old lady that gardens, cooks for her husband, and hangs out with her crazy dogs all weekend, every weekend. I tend to putter around the house on my days off, doing chores or making new art, inviting friends over on occasion, but I'm not so much one with the "going out" as I was ten, heck even five, years ago. I blame my thirties.If you follow me on
The nice part of being a homebody is that the house is
always mostly clean, and I can count on the trees and plants that I've planted in the yard to bring me loads of goodies each summer. So, for today's post, I wanted to share with you my top eight plants to grow in the summer months.
1. Sweet peas. One June, for my mom's birthday about five years ago, my family surprised her and we all drove down to the Getty Center in LA. It had just rained the day before, so the sky was crisp and clear and you could see all the way to the ocean. My favorite part of the Getty Center is the garden out back. My mom and I like to wander around in the plants, slowly looking at and smelling every flower. This visit, we noticed that there were some beautiful sweet peas growing over an arbor in deep shades of plum and burgundy. We also noticed that the plant was starting to go to seed, it's vines thick with seed pods, many of which had dried out. Ok, so here's the part where I'm a total thief, but we took a few seed pods with us from the museum to plant back home. From then on, I have plant sweet peas every year and most years they reseed themselves. Aside from my stolen variety, my favorite variety of sweet pea comes from Renee's Garden. Called "April in Paris", they are the most fragrant variety I have ever smelled, have gorgeous long stems, and lovely cream colored petals trimmed with pink. They are super easy to sow in the ground after the last frost and grow very quickly. I could not recommend them enough.
2. Dahlias. I love these quirky little (or big) flowers. They come in all shapes and sizes and if you live near where I do (Zone 15), you don't even have to dig up the bulbs in the winter. You can just forget about them and they pop up every spring, with their cartoony heads and long necks, just waiting to make you smile. Right now I have some little dwarf dahlias planted, but next year I'm going to plant the big boys.
3. Blueberries. What's better than going outside and picking your own blueberries. Nothing. Aside from birds liking the taste of these berries as much as I do, the blueberry plant is basically trouble free. They like acid, so I sprinkle my used coffee grinds on their root zone every other week. We have two highbush varieties, but I want to grow these pink lemonade (!) blueberries sometime soon.
4. Basil. My favorite herb by far, I love its licorice-y peppery flavor. I could literally just chew on the leaves all summer. I love in in everything, from cocktails to salads, with grilled veggies, and my favorite preparation: torn with tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, and sea salt. It bums me out that it's an annual, but I bet if I had access to it all year, I wouldn't appreciate it as much as I do when I get to enjoy it every spring.
5. Raspberry. Truth be told, my raspberry vines are threatening to take over a corner of my front yard. I can't complain too much, though. The look on John's face when he get's the first raspberries of the season is worth all the tiny tiny thorns in my hands from ripping vines back. I grow an everbearing type and it seems like they fruit from June through October…and I really can't get enough. Yum! Raspberries are pretty easy to grow, even if you have a little corner of your yard to plant a small plant, I'd totally recommend it.
6. Marigolds. Not my favorite flower (visually anyway), I grow these because they attract beneficial insects that benefit other plants in my garden. I plant them underneath my fruit trees and near my strawberries. Apparently they also repel mosquitoes. Bonus!
7. Tomato. My favorite fruit (vegetable?) of all time, I could (and do) eat them like apples. The first year I got to plant a real vegetable garden at our house, I think I planted about 20 plants. My plan was to have enough to preserve, but were any left at the end of the season? No. I had eaten every one. Good thing John likes tomatoes as much as I do (well, at least half as much as I do), because I don't think I could be with someone who didn't like tomatoes. It must be the Italian in me. One of my favorite varieties of tomatoes to grow is called Stupice, but I also really love Sweet 100 and Yellow Pear cherry tomatoes. Paired with basil, this is my summertime anthem (pretty sure that made no sense, but you get the point). Tomatoes, you complete me.
8. Artichoke. I have had one globe artichoke plant in the front yard for the past 4 years that just keeps on keepin' on. I thought I killed it once. It came back. I didn't water it for a month. It kept truckin'. Now I just cut it back every fall, and come spring, divide the new pups off of the main plant and plant new artichokes every year. I'm up to four plants total. Given how much I love them (and how freaking expensive they are in the store), I'll happily keep planting the as long as I have the space. They are heavy feeders (steer manure, blood meal, etc.), but need little water or attention once established.
So there you have it! I hope this inspires you to go forth and plant some goodies this summer. Or at least pick up a little basil (or any herb) and put it in a little pot on your windowsill. Happy planting!

Federal prosecutors say a Portland, Maine, man will spend 11 years in prison for conspiring to distribute crack cocaine in the city.
Thirty-four-year-old Marco Gordon pleaded guilty to the charges in July. He will also spend five years on supervised release and was ordered to forfeit more than $4,000.
Court records say Gordon and others conspired to sell crack in Portland from December 2013 to January 2015. Police arrested Gordon in January.
Gordon's co-conspirator Robert Joiner was previously sentenced to three years in prison. Another, Russell Gordon, has entered a guilty plea and is awaiting sentencing. It's unclear if the two Gordons are related.
Marco Gordon's lawyer did not respond to a request for comment.

Nick Schwellenbach at The Center for Public Integrity has written a very good article on the Defense Departments Revolving Doors. His article mentions the F-15 program. This is interesting because Boeing is currently proposing a Stealthy F-15 for sales overseas. I wonder if our new National Security Advisor and former Boeing Audit and Finance Committees Director General (ret.) Jones, will remove himself from any and all interest in the outcome of Boeing's proposal to sell stealth technology abroad?

Verdansky: Where the Ozone Hole Was Discovered
The Antarctic ozone hole was discovered in 1985 by British scientists Joesph Farman, Brian Gardiner, and Jonathan Shanklin of the British Antarctic Survey. I recently had the opportunity to visit the scientific station where the discovery took place. As you can see in the photo, the station proudly advertises its discovery with a sign in the main hallway.
Verdansky base (also known as Faraday)—now owned by the Ukranian government—has a long history. It has been populated for the past 63 years (to the day—starting in 07 Jan 1947). The British occupied the station until 1996 when it was sold for a nominal fee to the Ukranians. The spot is particularly good for observing the ionosphere and performing meteorlogical and geophysical studies because it is located at a high geographic latitude and a low magnetic latitude.
The Ukranians are not restricting their activities to research. They make vodka, have a gift shop, and run a post office. You'll hear more about their vodka bar in a future post.

IsoPacs G can be used for a variety of applications including vocal and voice-over work.
The IsoPacs are easy to get in and out of. The acrylic wraps around the front of the booth, while the SORBER panels wrap around the rear. Since SORBER panels don't actually connect to the ClearSonic Pane ls, you can simply use one side of an S5-2 (two sections hinged together) as a "door".
This vocal booth has a 4' diameter, and is the perfect size for one person. Great for applications where space is at a minimum.

Finding the Right Spot for Your Piano
Whether you bought a piano or an electric keyboard, the first thing to do when you get your new baby home is to find a spot for it to live. This spot doesn't have to be a permanent resting place — pianos and keyboards adapt well to future changes in their lives. But some spots are better than others in terms of keeping your keyboard humming along and in good health for the duration of its life. Your ideal spot has all the following characteristics:
- No direct sunlight: Even through a window, over-exposure to sunlight can damage your keyboard over time. The wood can warp or dry out, affecting both the sound and overall appearance. A faded keyboard doesn't sell well (if necessary) down the road.
- Controlled climate: Don't expose your keyboard to violent temperature swings. For example, don't leave it on a porch that gets really hot in the summer and dreadfully cold in the winter. To avoid fickle weather changes, try to place your keyboard near an interior wall rather than an exterior wall.
- Good ventilation: For acoustic pianos, good ventilation reduces the buildup of excess moisture. For electric keyboards, ventilation keeps the "engine" cooled when the power is on. You don't have to put your keyboard right under an air conditioning unit or right over a heating duct. Just make sure that the room has good airflow through it.
- Safety: Don't set your expensive keyboard under a bookshelf or suspended refrigerator that may soon fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men can't put your Humpty . . .
Of course, you also want your keyboard in a spot that encourages you to play. Try to find a place for your instrument that also has the following characteristics:
- Elbow room: When you feel cramped or uncomfortable, you are more likely to avoid practicing. Lack of practice leads to poor playing, so give yourself ample space for stretching out when you play.
- Convenience: Don't confine your keyboard to an area that's hard to reach. When inspiration hits, you want the keys close at hand. And speaking of convenience, make sure your room has plenty of electrical outlets. Using miles and miles of extension cords is expensive, irritating, and just plain ugly.
- Lighting: Until you're in a dark, smoke-filled bar, in front of hundreds of adoring fans, always play with good lighting. Not only is it easier to see the non-colorful black and white keys, but reading music is next to impossible in the dark. You can set a lamp on or near your keyboard, but don't use the clip-on kind — they can damage the keyboard's finish.
- Neighbors: Consider how the location of your piano or keyboard might affect your relationship with your neighbors. For example, don't put your keyboard in the room right over your downstairs neighbor's bedroom. All those late-night practice sessions will soon be history.

After spending much of his career making stories about small towns like Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks, director David Lynch created one of his most bizarre pictures and his most surreal film since Eraserhead: Lost Highway. Lost Highway is as unique a film Lynch has ever made, and also is one of his best. Like many David Lynch movies, it received mixed review in its initial opening but only by now has it been recognized for its ingenuity.
Describing the story of Lost Highway will be difficult, as it's even more cryptic than Mulholland Drive. The film begins with a couple, a sax-player named Fred Madison (Bill Pullman) and his wife Renee (Patricia Arquette). They live in a small, stylized home that echoes the Red Room from Twin Peaks as well as Henry's apartment in Eraserhead. One morning, Patricia discovers a videotape of their house and the next day, another tape arrives showing the couple asleep.
Confused and baffled? So are Fred and Renee, as well as the pair of detectives who are sent to investigate this case. The film grows even more surreal and bizarre as one day Fred finds another tape that shows him killing his wife. He is imprisoned and sentenced to death, but overnight he disappears in his prison cell and a teenager named Pete Dayton (Balthazar Getty) is there instead. The police, who are stupefied by this occurrence, release him, and Pete returns to his normal life. He works as a mechanic for gangster Mr. Eddy (Robert Loggia), and his life becomes intertwined with a whole new series of circumstances he has never experienced before.
Lost Highway is a very complex and intricate movie, even for a David Lynch film. I could barely understand or comprehend the plot, written by Lynch and Barry Gifford. Yet like David Lynch's other films, Lost Highway is so engrossing that it doesn't matter and like Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway's thrill is its story. Lynch directs scenes that are so claustrophobic that he matches the visual perfection of Stanley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock. As the movie progresses, Lynch paces the picture quicker and quicker to its conclusion, which is as unpredictable as endings are made.
Lost Highway is full of the director's hallmarks. While Lynch doesn't direct the movie in a campy style a la Blue Velvet, it is full of dark humor. He also calls upon the supernatural through a mysterious character played by Robert Blake, reflecting Bob from Twin Peaks. There are callbacks to his earlier movies, such as the typical David Lynch shot of a car speeding down the road. Another scene is reminiscent to when Isabella Rossellini stood undressed in public in Blue Velvet. But the most similar films Lynch has made to Lost Highway are Mulholland Drive and Eraserhead. Though Mulholland Drive debuted four years after Lost Highway, both share the loss of a character's identity as well as similar camerawork. And like Eraserhead, Lost Highway is a horror picture, though it also could be classified as a thriller.
But Lost Highway is different from Lynch's other movies. Most of Lynch's other pictures are rooted in the 1950s, as they reference the decade through old vinyl rock songs and a sitcommy feel. Lost Highway, on the other hand, is based truly upon the 90s. Lynch's soundtrack is primarily made up of heavy metal songs and I would argue it features a better selection than even Blue Velvet. The film entices the audience as Martin Scorsese's GoodFellas did, that I felt that I could watch the picture untwine forever.
Lynch is lucky to have a superb cast in his movie. Pullman is superb, as well as Arquette and Getty. But Robert Blake steals scenes as his character, an unnamed man who appears as an open threat. Blake originally wanted to star as Frank Booth in Blue Velvet, and his role here is similar, particularly in a profanity-filled scene. Blake's character is one of Lynch's most eerie, frightening, and best creations.
Lost Highway, like David Lynch's other pictures, will not be in everyone's taste. It is dark, bleak, and very harrowing. But it is a superb movie that will transport the viewer into a world of evil of vileness. It is a fantastic and very misunderstood classic.

Interesting news from Historic Scotland about the launch, in April 2016, of an Antonine Wall app. It will use augmented reality to help visitors visit the site. The technology draws on the Bavarian museums service, which created an earlier similar app in Germany and which allows visitors to access information on two parts of the Roman frontier in Bavaria.
The Antonine Wall app will draw on 3D laser scanning work carried out by the Scottish Ten Project, along with new scans and interactive 3D models of museum artefacts taken from the Wall, to give visitors a better idea of how points of interest such as the fort at Rough Castle, or the bath house at Bar Hill, would have looked when the Wall operated as a frontier.
Content will be commissioned and developed by Historic Scotland and the five local authorities along the line of the Wall: East Dunbartonshire, Falkirk, Glasgow City, North Lanarkshire and West Dunbartonshire Councils. The intention is to work with local museums to scan artefacts from the wall in order to create an accurate representation of what life was like, which visitors will be able to experience first-hand.
The full press release is here.

PetsConnect is devoted to working with local shelters, to reduce the number of animals put down.
To achieve this goal, PetsConnect! volunteers work several ways to increase the number of animals that find their forever homes.
1) all the animals in our foster program come directly from local shelters;
2) we work with local shelters to find other rescues through out the nation to take animals;
3) we provide transport or help arrange transport of animals to another rescue;
4) we work with local shelters on a variety of iniatives which decrease the number of homeless animals.
These initiatives include bringing a mobile neuter scooter to our area providing low cost spay and neuters, joining local shelters for larger adoption events, planning events with local shelters to encourage people to consider adopting a shelter animal!
We rely solely on volunteers to keep PetsConnect! running.
In the world of rescue the number of things that need to be done are endless and can be overwhelming.
In the world of rescue those of us involved find time to be something we have little of!
So, you want to volunteer?
Please don't wait for us to call you — simply come to one of our posted events.
Introduce yourself.
Let us know you are there to help.
Ask how you can help and a fellow volunteer will be happy to offer guidance!
We care and love to have new volunteers but it's all about the limited amount of time available.
So, show up, pitch in and make a difference today all while making some new friends!

"A sheep hates to be alone," says Paul Rodgers, from the sixth generation in his family to raise sheep on the same 600 acres in the West Virginia hills. The animals cluster together when grazing, which makes them exceptionally hard to tally, especially when little lambs are underfoot. Shepherds in states like Idaho and Montana will spend whole summers in the high country with thousands of sheep, unable to get a precise head count.
To estimate flock size, use what ranchers call a "marker sheep." The majority of commercial animals used for wool and meat production are white. For every 25, 50 or 100 white sheep, add in a black one. Or try a less common approach: Paint a white one's back using bright, soluble paint. Once out in the field, get up where you can see the full flock. "That might be on a horse or up on a bluff," Rodgers says. Use binoculars to spot your marker sheep. If you're missing one, figure dozens more are also lost.
For a more accurate count, which most ranchers get once or twice a year, collect the sheep into an enclosure using herding dogs. Separate the lambs from the ewes. Send the animals single file through a narrow chute with a gate to slow their pace. Don't try to count numerically in your head; it is too easy to lose track. Instead, use a clicker device or pencil and paper and the five-hash-mark method. Trust your dogs. "Seldom will a dog leave a sheep behind," Rodgers says. "I'm almost convinced that Border collies can count."
Rodgers would never consider counting imaginary ruminants to lull himself to sleep. "That never made sense to me," he says. "Nothing about it is relaxing." The sheep move through the chute fast, about one per second, in rapid, nose-to-butt succession. If you look away, even for a moment, you'll lose track. Rodgers suggests the sleepless consider some other sedative. He likes to count stars if he's bunking outside. Over 33 years working for the American Sheep Industry Association, Rodgers has spent many nights in hotels in livestock country. In those unfamiliar spaces, he uses white-noise apps on his smartphone. "I doubt anyone has ever fallen asleep counting sheep," he says, "but those watery sounds can help."

This year between Christmas and my birthday, I added all three seasons of Star Trek: The Original Series and all seven seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation to my growing Blu-ray collection. I already had all four seasons of Star Trek Enterprise on Blu-ray, which is my personal favorite. I had purchased these as they were released a few years ago. I've always been a big Star Trek fan, especially the films, and was very excited to see the improvements to the picture and audio quality of these new releases.
Now, Enterprise was shot in HD and aired on TV in HD so it looks as good as it ever has, no surprise there. But I never imagined the improvements made to the other two series were even possible. They both look and sound like they were shot yesterday. I never realized how bad they looked when they were originally aired on TV in standard def.
Let's start with the Original Series. All three series have been completely restored and had all new special effects created for every show with modern CGI. But don't worry, you have the option on every single episode of watching the new special effects or watching the original effects, so you're getting everything.
The picture quality is stunning. This was a show shot in the late 60's so it doesn't look perfect, but it certainly looks better than it ever has, and as good as it will. All the colors pop right off the screen. The red, blue and gold shirts are more vibrant than you have ever seen them. The blacks are deep and the lights are bright, and every laser blast, phaser strike and whoosh of the Warp drive is as loud and clear as you would hope it to be. I prefer the new special effects which make the whole show seem less dated, but as I mentioned, if you're a Star Trek naturalist, you can watch them with the old stuff.
All 79 episodes are presented here in their original standard TV aspect ratio of 4:3. There are an incredible amount of special features including many commentary tracks, making of documentaries and 3 different versions of the pilot episode, "The Cage".
The Next Generation is a marvel to behold. They scanned in every single frame of every single episode of the series and the result is as good as any modern film on Blu-ray. This show truly looked atrocious when it aired on television. Now you can see every single individual window when the Enterprise flies by.
In the first episode of Next Generation, Encounter at Farpoint, a giant jellyfish looking alien comes out of the ground at the end of the episode. When originally aired and on the original DVD, it looked like a giant blurry white thing. Now, you can see every tentacle, every hair on its body and other small details you never even knew were there. It's truly eye opening and I was glad something that obvious was in the very first episode.
The colors throughout are astounding, skin tones finally look natural and Data actually looks like a different color. In fact, most of the Enterprise looks a little different than you probably remember it now that everything is the right color. Even the bridge is drastically different now that the chairs and controls are actually dark beige and the carpet is a dark, rich maroon. It's basically like seeing the whole series again for the first time.
All 178 episodes are presented here in their original standard TV aspect ratio of 4:3. There are even more special features on Next Generation than there were on The Original Series. Along with all the content from the original DVD releases are new commentary tracks, documentaries on the restoration process, and several new documentaries on each season. They follow everything from the writing process, to the actors, to the production and special effects.
A truly spectacular series of releases that I highly recommend for any Star Trek fan.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Leaders from the East African nations of Ethiopia and Eritrea are to sign an agreement in Saudi Arabia as the two countries ease tensions after decades of hostilities.
The state-run Saudi Press Agency says Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki are both in the Saudi city of Jiddah ahead of the meeting Sunday.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is also expected to be present at the meeting.
Few details about the agreement have been released. However, the U.N. on Friday described the Jiddah meeting as "the signing ceremony of the peace agreement" between the two countries.
Ahmed and Afwerki signed a "Joint Declaration of Peace and Friendship" on July 9, ending 20 years of enmity and formally restoring diplomatic relations between the neighboring countries.

The much anticipated Pink Tuesday! All the campers and counselors did their best to find a pink or pinkish colored shirt to wear at least for the morning session. After the 7am breakfast we were at the fields around 8. This morning the mental toughness scenario featured Tiina herself talking about the idea of no expectations, and how you have to do your best to keep the energy of the game at an overall even level despite the ups and downs. The rule of the day was receiving fouls and talked about topics like the principle of verticality. After that the teams met and warmed up then played one scrimmage. Then it was time the MTA competition with a boys and mixed division. Before lunch the campers ran up the hill to the top where their colored jerseys were waiting. We took team photos and a big group photo.
For the afternoon session we began with the distance competition which is always a hit. Some of the campers really could launch the disc, and the counselors got in on the fun after them. Then it was time to start the tournament! We had time for two rounds of play, then soon after it was dinner time.
There was some down time and then trade night! A lot of the counselors had some cool gear to trade away and the campers were eager to get their hands on it. After that team and individual meetings got underway, and then floor meetings. Everyone is getting some sleep now which will be essential for grinding through the games tomorrow.
To check out photo highlights from today head over to Ultiphotos!!!

Meet Dr. Lauri Grossman, homeopath.
Let's first take a look at 'Dr.' Grossman's educational background, shall we?
- Teleosis Institute: Berkeley, California; Leadership in Green Heath Care, Certified Green Health Care Provider, 2008
- Hahnemann College of Homeopathy: Point Richmond, California; Diploma Recipient, 1999
- New England School of Homeopathy: Amherst, Massachusetts: Completion of Course for Professionals, Levels I and II, 1991, 1993
- New York Chiropractic College: Old Brookville, New York; Doctor of Chiropractic, graduate with honors, 1990
- Cornell University, College of Arts and Sciences: Ithaca, New York; Bachelor of Arts, 1977
Source: drlaurigrossman.com
Interesting. The 'Dr.' prepended to Dr. Grossman's name seems to be in a field that ISN'T homeopathy. Further, it isn't a medical degree (MD). It's a Chiropractic degree (DO), as stated. And good deal on the 'graduate with honors'! Well done!
OK, let's look at some of the claims… We're not as happy with these as we are with the good Doctor.
- AUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDERS: language delay, self-stimulation, problems with non-verbal communication, difficulties with social interactions, repetitive routines
- ISSUES OF AGING/STRESS: concentration difficulties, hypersensitivities, fear related to illness or death
- SURGERY: preparing the body for surgery, speeding healing and preventing complications, anxiety before surgery, lingering effects from anesthesia, aching, bruising, healing of old scars
- SPORTS INJURIES AND ATHLETIC COMPETITION: strained muscles, back pain, muscle cramps, athletes foot, help with focus, psychology of competition
- TRAVEL: fear of flying, jet lag, swelling of legs from plane travel, food poisoning, altitude sickness, constipation, diarrhea, seasickness, preparing a first aid kit for family travel
- WINTER ILLNESSES: colds, coughs, preventing the flu
- SPRING AND SUMMER AILMENTS: allergies, sunburns, bee stings, hives, swimmer's ear
- CANCER: creating an integrative treatment plan, side effects of western medicines, complaints arising from radiation and chemo therapies, pre-cancerous conditions, help for individuals with cancer in the family
Interesting. This implies effectiveness for a wide range of issues. Let's take a look at a few, keeping in mind that no properly administered test or survey, EVER, has shown homeopathy to be any more effective than the placebo effect. If any of our readers know of any properly administered tests or published peer-reviewed research papers, please comment below.
Here are the views of SDHoS on each claim:
AUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDERS: Dismissed as a curative, harmless unless used in place of proper care
ISSUES OF AGING/STRESS: Fear? They can cure FEAR now?
SURGERY: Dismissed as a curative, harmless unless used in place of proper care. (Ex: Homeopathy used in place of actual medicine to prevent post-operative infection)
SPORTS INJURIES AND ATHLETIC COMPETITION: Since 'Dr.' Grossman is an Osteopath, it is THAT skill that will allow her to treat some of these symptoms, NOT homeopathy.
TRAVEL: There's a claim of curing fear again, but FOOD POISONING? No. Dangerous assertion. Food poisoning of a bacterial nature will not be affected by homeopathy. 'Upset stomach', since it will sometimes go away by itself, and is sometimes mistaken for food poisoning, may appear to be helped.
WINTER ILLNESSES: No. The illnesses listed are all either bacterial or viral in nature. No homeopathic 'medicine' will have any effect whatsoever. As for flu prevention… Dangerous assertion. If someone that is especially endangered by the flu (elderly, etc.) then using homeopathy in place of a flu vaccine could actually be life threatening.
SPRING AND SUMMER AILMENTS: Harmless except in the case of severe allergic reaction. (Which, to her credit, is not stated as a symptom. We mention it because occasionally patients become zealous about homeopathy as an alternative to Evil Big Pharma, and may elect to seek homeopathic assistance before traditional medical care. There have been deaths caused by this type of zealotry.)
CANCER: No. Just absolutely and without hesitation, no. Dangerous assertion. There should be no mention of, or reference to cancer, on any homeopaths web site or advertising material. Those suffering from cancer and the additional symptoms that medical treatment often produces are the easiest to victimize. We object.

shopping for a fall weather uniform
Given the fact that my winter wardrobe had been purchased two to four sizes ago I had the issue of not having too many easy transition pieces to move into winter with it was clearly time to start updating the wardrobe. A few of my old sweaters have enough stretch to still be wearable still, but most things are starting to look a little baggy on me. I've also figured out that my skinny jeans have become my every day pants because I'm loving the look of them tucked into some tall boots and it's just easy to pull on a similar style pant every day. Skinny jeans, boots and a sweater seem to have become my fall uniform. There was also some incentive to spend money on clothes as my work likes to pay out our bonuses in the form of gift cards and there was a rather hefty one to the mall sitting around burning a hole in my wallet.
Last weekend Bunny and I came up with a plan and headed out with the intent to spend. We went out with a shopping list in mind: two or three new everyday sweaters for me, a hoodie sweatshirt for him and maybe if there was some leftover I'd buy a new pair of jeans. And boy did we ever get lucky.
I was determined to buy quality items, not just discount sweaters at the cheap stores because I wanted something that would last and there are a few stores that I find do sweaters really well. First store we rolled into I managed to find two really great sweaters with the added bonus of 25% off the entire store. Next was a search for Bunny's hoodie and we happened to find two that he really liked at great prices (and one of them ended up being on sale as well). After that we still somehow had enough left over to get another sweater, my jeans, a couple of books and pay for lunch and fancy coffee ... with a small balance left over.
What's interesting is noticing what's in common with all the items I purchased. All the sweaters have interesting necklines. None of them have the same neckline, but they're all a little unusual. Boat neck with buttons, deep v with a sort of collar and a big, bunchy faux turtleneck (it looks better than how I'm describing it, I promise). Soon enough it will probably be cold enough to layer blazers over the sweaters but for now I have some great fall weather pieces.
Now, on to the hunt for more boots to continue to expand my fall/winter wardrobe. I could use some nice riding style boots and some dressier winter weather boots. Heels might not be so practical in a more or two.

Skinny jeans and boots are the best. I have come to love mine very very slowly. I bought them only because the boy practically forced me too arguing they would look good (they do but it took a while to get used to the stretchy tight feeling, as I was used to only wear bell bottoms).ReplyDelete
All of your sweaters sound cool. Boat necks are my favorite, and I like stuff with buttons on the side.
And you really scored a lot of stuff :) Fancy coffee outings are the best.Replies
I resisted against the skinny pant for soooo long. Every style rule I knew told me how horrid and unflattering they were. I'm so glad I decided to try them because they've really added to my wardrobe options.Delete
With clothes it's always so nice to find something with a little unique detail. Make the sweaters look a little extra interesting and fun.
