Handwoven Earrings - Shopping Local Artists in Asheville, NC
I have one last piece to share from my shopping excursion in downtown Asheville. This is going to be a short post I'm afraid. It's another case of lovely work and no business card on display. What I can tell you is that these lovely woven earrings were made by a company called Moondance. Two other interesting bits; the hooks are made of argentium which is a new kind of sterling silver that is more tarnish resistant. Wiping it with a soft cloth is all it takes to keep the metal sparkling. The other piece of information is that the artist uses polyurethane to protect the fabric from wear and stains as well as add life to the piece.
Well that's all the technical information I have. I wish I had more personal details about the artist. I did try a google search and couldn't find anything. So this is our mystery woman artist of the day. I am drawn to anything handwoven which is why these earrings caught my eye. There are so neatly made. I personally do not really enjoy working on really small pieces, so I marvel at intricate work like this and the careful hands that made them. She has lined the edges in microglitter which for me is a bonus. I love a little sparkle. I also like the beads she chose to hang on the end. It gives the earrings just enough weight and adds some movement and interest.

This full day tour will take you to one of the most beautiful areas in Catalonia: the Emporda region. History and tradition merge here with wonderful views of mountains, forests, fields and the coast, the famous Costa Brava. Emporda great cuisine and outstanding wines will make your stay just as pleasant as memorable.
Your guide and driver will meet you at your hotel at the time it suits you best. From Barcelona the drive to Empordà will take approximately and hour and a half. You will leave the big city behind and enter the countryside: fields, small villages, stone houses, hills and mountains everywhere. The first stop will be in a beautiful winery run by the same family since the very beginning, long time ago. Here we will walk in the fields, see how they make wine, have a taste of their best products and enjoy the fresh air and landscape.
It is probable that at this point we feel ready for a snack, so we will head to another winery where we will not only have the chance to taste a couple of their best wines but also some local products, such as local varieties of cheese, cured meats, toasted bread with tomato and olive oil.
Next stop in the guided tour will be an ancient village extremely well preserved that will surely make you travel back in time. Your guide will tell you the history of the place, how people lived a few hundreds years ago and what do locals do now. After this enjoyable walk we will move on to the Costa Brava, which Catalan people choosed recently in a poll as the prettiest spot in Catalonia.
Time for you to eat lunch by the sea. Fish, seafood, fideuà or paella, this is the perfect spot to try any of these typical dishes. If the weather is good and you took your bathing suit with you, enjoy a quick swim in the Mediterranean Sea and lay down on the sand to sunbathe for a while.
Head back to Barcelona and take some more pictures along the way of this lovely landscape.
Tour Inclusions:
Private transportation, guiding services and visit of the winery with wine-tasting.

Numerical and Computational Challenges
in Science and Engineering Program
Numerical Investigation of Slow Chaos in Rigid Body Dynamics
The talk focuses on numerical integrations of a slightly perturbed
rigid body with the aim of detecting "slowly chaotic" motions
of the system. "Slow chaos" is a phenomenon which is associated
to resonances in perturbed superintegrable Hamiltonian systems and takes
place on very long time scales. Because of this, symplectic methods
are valuable. We describe an approach to symplectic integration on manifolds
based on an implementation of the splitting method using
different systems of local coordinates (Euler angles, in the rigid body
case). The method performs very well for an axially symmetric rigid
body; there are open problems for asymmetric bodies.

It was a sad, short season for Denver Gold safety Tom Sullivan. The United States Football League player is already coming home to Northridge.
He tore up ligaments in his knee in the Gold's first game, Feb. 24, against Oakland. An operation left him with staples in his leg that will be removed Saturday. He will come home on Sunday.
Mary Sullivan, the former Crespi High star's mother, said her son is "doing all right."
She said he doesn't talk much about the pain or about the likelihood that he will miss the rest of the season. But, she added, "I just know he's very disappointed."

American MSM ignoring this...of course Israel National News has the story...
Meanwhile Jpost plays two-handed poker with "
The wife of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and their son Gamal, considered the successor to his father as president, have fled to London with 97 suitcases after unprecedented massive protests in Egypt, an Arab website reported.
The plane also carried Gamal's daughter, the Akhbar Arab website reported. It also said a Twitter account was blocked to prevent a social network campaign to urge the ousting of Mubarak, who is over 80 and is reportedly is suffering from cancer.
Dozens of Twitter messages have been sent sayng that Mubarak's wife Suzanne was identified at Heathrow Airport in London, where she and her son and granddaughter arrived in a private jet.
If this is confirmed, Mubarak is toast. The only questions now are whether the Egyptian Army can hold off the Muslim Brotherhood, and whether Barack–Hussein–Obama–who–bows–to–Saudis–kings will pull a Carter, and usher in the next islamic tyranny, right on Israel's border...
Obama will use this crisis to back the koranustinians at the UN, demanding that Israel stop building homes for Jews in JERUSALEM, and he'll say he did it to "not further inflame the Arab street during a time of instability..."

Some Quiet Place by Kelsey Sutton
Release Date: July 8th, 2013
I can't weep. I can't fear. I've grown talented at pretending.
Elizabeth Caldwell doesn't feel emotions . . . she sees them. Longing, Shame, and Courage materialize around her classmates. Fury and Resentment appear in her dysfunctional home. They've all given up on Elizabeth because she doesn't succumb to their touch. All, that is, save one—Fear. He's intrigued by her, as desperate to understand the accident that changed Elizabeth's life as she is herself.
Elizabeth and Fear both sense that the key to her past is hidden in the dream paintings she hides in the family barn. But a shadowy menace has begun to stalk her, and try as she might, Elizabeth can barely avoid the brutality of her life long enough to uncover the truth about herself. When it matters most, will she be able to rely on Fear to save her?
If you could travel in a time machine would you go back to the past or into the future?
Oh, the past, easily. I've always said I was born in the wrong century. I wish I could live in Victorian England. Corsets, swoons, etiquette and all!
If you could have any superpower what would you choose?
My first instinct was to answer with reading minds. But then I realized that I would eventually go crazy. So I'll settle for flying. That would be unbelievably cool. I could finally take that trip to Europe.
What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
What an evil question! It really depends on my mood. I guess, since I usually go for ice cream when I'm sad, I'll go with cookie dough.
What was your favorite book when you were a child/teen?
I had so many when I was a child, but when I was a teen I absolutely adored – and still do – Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier.
Is there a song you could list as the theme song for your book?
Great question! One song I listened to over and over while I was writing was 'Can't Go Back' by Rosi Golan. Very sad but appropriate and inspiring.
What's one piece of advice you would give aspiring authors?
I always have a different answer to this, but today it's probably that if you're bored writing a scene, people will be bored reading it. I try to keep it in mind when I'm working on something.
What is your favorite Quote?
"There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein." -Walter Wellesley "Red" Smith. Because it's so true.
How do you react to a bad review?
I go through the stages of grief, basically. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. Lately I've just avoided those reviews entirely. They make me not want to write and I really don't have time for that! But I do have to say that some sane part of me appreciates the bad reviews; those people took the time to read the book and gave their honest opinion. You can't entirely hate that, no matter how much your instincts insist you should.
What do you do in your free time?
Eat way too much cheese and watch way too much TV. Work at a coffee shop and read. I'm also a student, so there's some homework and studying in between there. Something your readers would never guess about you? Hmmm. That's so hard to answer, since I pretty much blab about everything and anything on Twitter and Facebook. Oh, okay, my legal name for the first few years of my life was Abigail. I won't tell you why, but my mom named me Kelsey and just didn't change the birth certificate for a long, long time.
What do you find inspiration in?
Everything! But if I had to pick one thing, it would be music. Seriously, I can lay on my couch with something playing in the background and eventually a crazy story idea will pop in my head.
Are any of your characters a portrayal of you?
Each of them definitely has something of me in them. After all, I created them. But I won't tell you what it is! Got to keep some sort of mystery about me.
Why do you write YA?
It's the genre I'm the most obsessed with. I've read so many YA books and it was always a dream to see something I'd written among them.
About how long did it take to write your book?
This is such a difficult one to answer, because it went through so many revisions that I feel it was really finished about a month ago, when it went to the printers. But I finished the first draft within three months, so let's go with that!
What is your favorite part of the writing/publishing process?
The moment you open the e-mail that says someone wants your book. It's so mind-blowing and exhilarating.

I get up really early (early for me anyway) to get ready for work. In fact, there are times when the night just blends into the morning, because it's easier to just stay up all night than to try and roust myself out of a nice warm bed after just an hour or two of sleep (I know myself and my relationship with my bed all too well, so sometimes it's best to not even try to fight my slug-a-bedness).
So then I started hunting around for a shirt to wear with them. Hmmmmm .... a black shirt would work quite nicely, and since
Awww heck. Where did it go? I just had it — it couldn't have gone very far, for crying out loud. I looked high and low, and then I looked low and high! The pile of crapola in my room got bigger and bigger as I methodically picked each item up off the floor and shook it looking for that clandestine belt. I went through the pile a second time, and probably even a third time for good measure. I threw all the blankets off my bed, thinking it had somehow found its way under my covers where it was warm and cozy. I looked underneath my bed, thinking that it had slipped down between the mattress and the wall, and the dust bunnies had scurried off with it. No BELT. Geez Louise ... AGGGGH. I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry. I wanted to stamp my feet and throw a temper tantrum. By this time, a good 20 minutes had probably passed, and I was starting to panic. I still had to get packed for the week, and get out the door, and now I had to pick out something else to wear because no way was I going to wear that skirt and that shirt without that d*mn belt (read about some of my other morning struggles here)! I sighed in resignation and started to pull the shirt up over my head, and lo and behold ...
I alluded to how time was flying by up above, and I hope this partially explains why I disappeared again ... Work has been so hectic and crazy that I didn't even remember that I had a belt around my waist. Thank you all for asking and caring enough to ask about me ... My company went through its rating review last week, which is the project that I've been working on since last October. I'm hoping it slows down a bit now (not too much though ...).
Linking up to Patti at Not Dead Yet Style for Visible Monday, because even though I didn't wear this outfit today, the orange was pretty visible. As an aside — I was pretty proud of this outfit, but I'm a bit nervous that it was a bit too young for me. (Seriously, can't you see a little girl of about 4 years old, with strawberry blonde curls wearing it?) Or maybe it looks like the Great Pumpkin decided to come a bit early and show up in February instead of October?

I just spent an amazing couple of hours helping out my friend from Daisy Hill Quilts to get her blog happening. But as it would turn out Blogger was misbehaving and would not let us do anything.
Her darling DH recently built her an amazing sewing area and I'm so jealous. It looks fabulous and I can't wait to get back there (minus 2 extras) and have a sew-a-thon.
Thanks for the morning Michelle and Heather. I had a fantastic time.

Julie is a teenage girl that who was involved in an accident. She and some friends were driving after smoking and drinking when they hit a boy on his bicycle that night and ended up killing him.
Many people feel that Julie is innocent because she was forced into the pact. However she is her own person and nobody can make or force her into anything she does not want to be part of.
Another reason people feel Julie is innocent is because she wasn't directly involved because she was not the one who was driving. On the other hand she is an accessory and is guilty by association and she never went back when she should have.
People also believe that she has already suffered enough and she didn't know about all the pain that she caused in the family and that that is enough of a punishment but she has to do the time for the crime.
Julie should go to jail. Maybe not for the reasons but mainly one thing. She was responsible for a childs death that could have easily been avoided, by being in the car as an accessory but she fled the scene making it a hit and run as well as involuntary manslaughter. Also if she had gone to the police in the beginning they could have gotten in trouble yes but not as much and would have avoided the whole stalking incident.
If she should not go to jail for these reasons then she should because she was high and/or drunk and one of the four would get possession. Barry would get a DUI but the rest of them should get underage drinking and under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
The last reason she should go to jail is because of all the pain she caused the family that the boy belonged to. The mother checked herself into an institution because she thought it was her fault but it really wasn't.
Julie James is a teenage girl who is involved in an accident in which a young boy on his bicycle at night gets killed.

New phone system at Letterkenny hospital to cut down on call queues
A new telephone response system is to be introduced at Letterkenny General Hospital from next week which will make it easier for external callers to contact departments within the hospital.
Callers won't have to go through the switchboard to get through to departments such as out-patients, radiology and the laboratory. Callers will also be able to dial internal extensions directly if they have access to the number.
"The new system will mean that callers will be able to get through to the Department required without having to go through a call queue at the switchboard which is currently the case. At peak times the high volume of calls means that people can wait unnecessarily for an operator to connect a call and for callers who know which Department they need to reach or have the extension number, will now be able to get connected directly," a hospital spokesperson said.
The switchboard will continue to be manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and switchboard staff will continue to be available to take and connect calls. But hospital authorities expect that the new system will significantly reduce the queue waiting time for callers.
"The new system has already been introduced by many other hospitals with very positive results and we are very pleased to be in a position to do the same at Letterkenny General Hospital," added the spokesperson.
The system will come into operation from Wednesday next, 27th.

I'm really glad that I decided to make the Runaround Bags first, as that pattern is way less fiddly than this one and is therefore a lot easier to execute. While I wouldn't say the Envelope Clutch pattern is especially difficult, it's definitely not what I would consider to be a beginner project. On a scale of one to ten, I'd give it about a five if you complete it without any extras, and a six or seven if you add the piping and wrist/shoulder straps. As I do not have a piping foot for my sewing machine, I chose to leave that part out. I did include a wrist strap, which you can see in the picture below:
Overall, I'd say that my skills are progressing nicely, though some of them still need work. I've become pretty comfortable with basic stitches and techniques as well as ironing correctly, though my detail work still needs some practice. I'm specifically thinking of zippers as I write that; despite having a zipper foot and watching a million YouTube videos on how to correctly install them, I'm still having some difficulties with getting them to look nice. You can see how uneven the stitching is in this picture.
A word to the wise on the fabric allotment: If you want to make the smaller size, a quarter yard is enough for both the exterior, wrist strap, interior, and interior pocket/credit card slots. Personally, though, I'd recommend going with fat quarters, especially for the interior, as they'll give you a little more leeway (this bag was made from them, actually). If you decide to make the larger size, however, a quarter yard will give you enough to make the exterior, a small wrist strap, and the interior. You won't have enough fabric to make a full shoulder strap or the interior pocket/card slot if you only get a quarter of a yard. In light of that, I'd recommend purchasing a half yard of both fabrics if you're planning on making the larger size.
That said, I'm a pretty big fan of the pattern. It comes with clear, detailed step-by-step instructions and has plenty of pictures and diagrams, all of which I find useful as a relatively inexperienced sewer. I plan to make a few more of these in the future-- I got a ton of fabric for dresses recently, and imagine that I'll have enough leftovers from that to make a few small clutches to match.

Buy A Rolex | How To Spot A Fake Rolex!
Want To Buy A Rolex Watch? Learn How To Spot A Fake Rolex!
It's important you learn to spot a fake Rolex if you plan on buying a Rolex because Swiss Customs estimates that 40% of counterfeit watches come from China. The BaselWorld annual watch trade show attracts people from China whose actual job it is to take pictures of the watches on display from prestigious watch brands. As a result, a a fake Rolex version of a new or prototypical design is often launched in the marketplace before the real, authentic version is.
Learning To Spot A Fake Rolex
Counterfeit Watch Estimates
According to estimates by the Swiss Customer Service, there are some 30 to 40 million counterfeit watches put into circulation each year. That means your chances to spot a fake Rolex watch are significant. However, after reading this guide, I hope you will have an idea of how to spot a fake Rolex watch, and you won't become a victim of an unscrupulous seller. In addition I've researched what I believe to be five of the best trusted eBay Powersellers that specialize in Rolex watches and accessories. If you would like to check out these sellers' stores and auctions to see what they have for sale, you can find my review and their current listings (updated automatically) Here.
Learn To Spot A Fake Rolex With These Tips
There are two groups of counterfeit watches. The first group consists of low-priced imitations that keep time. A cheap counterfeit watch sports the name of a prestigious designer brand, but lacks the functions and design. The second group involves counterfeit watches made to resemble the original designer watch. There are some higher-priced imitation watches that are made from higher quality materials and have gold-colored parts and leather straps.
Like many high-priced, designer watches, Rolex watches are frequently counterfeited and are sold illegally on the internet, on the streets, and at flea markets. These fakes are primarily made in Asian countries such as India, Korea, Taiwan and mainland China (however, there are counterfeit Rolexes being made in the USA as well). The prices are anywhere between $5-$1,000 depending on the quality of the replica. The higher-end counterfeits can have parts fabricated from solid karat gold (although many gold Rolex counterfeits use gold electroplating). The fake Rolex trade has become so sophisticated, that it's really hard to spot a fake Rolex these days. There there are even full-color, glossy marketing materials to accompany these fakes made in China and sold to retail vendors throughout Asia.
Spot A Fake Rolex With These Characteristics
- One common giveaway that a Rolex is a fake is a transparent case back which allows the watch movements to be seen. Rolex has almost never produced a watch like this except for some extremely rare models from the 1930's and some very new Cellini Price models.
- Authentic Rolex watches never have a manufacturer engraving of a logo, design or Rolex name on the outside of the caseback. The only exception to this is the Sea-Dweller which says "Rolex Oyster Original Gas Escape Valve" on the back in black along with two Rolex logos.
- Genuine Rolex models are free of engravings on the caseback, therefore they are smooth (however, there are some ladies' models with engraving on the caseback).
- More recently, some genuine Rolex models were shipped new from the factory with a 3-dimensional, Hologram-encoded sticker on the caseback with a floating Rolex crown positioned above the watch's case reference number, which is now printed in black. Most fake stickers are a solid green color or are actually a repetitious "Rolex" pattern, not a hologram.
How To Spot A Fake Rolex Watch: Additional Information
- As of 2007, Rolex stopped using the hologram and new watches are not being shipped with them. I
- In addition, inside the crystal of an authentic Rolex is a very subtle, almost invisible laser etched Crown Logo located at the 6:00 position. Some fakes have this etching, but it is often smaller than what is found on an authentic Rolex.
- The date magnification of a Rolex is 2.5 times the normal size.The date should take up the entire glass bubble. There are some fake Rolexes that have a bigger font wheel to imitate this look, but come far from close to looking like the real appearance of the date.
- The lettering on the dial should be precise. Under high-magnification, the type should reveal clean edges not found in forgeries.
- Many fake Rolexes will have have regular glass instead of true sapphire crystal. A great test of the materials is to check the water surface tension. A smeared film of water will pull together on sapphire because the surface is smooth.
- The second hand on a genuine Rolex always is smooth and continuous. Most fake Rolexes have movements that are small and jerky (although this is not always the case in higher-priced counterfeits).
- The weight of an authentic Rolex is relatively heavy because of the materials used. This isn't a scientific method in determining a fake, but a counterfeit Rolex will feel lighter due to the cheaper materials used. In addition, the bands on a genuine Rolex are full whereas fakes often display hollow links.
- The serial and case reference numbers on an authentic Rolex are engraved with great detail and are smooth. The numbers are located between the lugs on the side of the case. The numbers on counterfeit Rolexes often look like they have been sand-blasted or roughly etched into the case.
In Conclusion:
If you do have the ability to compare a replica Rolex next to the real thing, you will be able to spot the fake Rolex by noticing the subtle differences in the laser printing on the face, color differences on the band and dial, and other defects that will let you know if a Rolex is authentic or a replica. In addition, the edges on a Rolex and its band are not sharp and scratchy; they are smooth.

As a NEH participant in the URR workshop, I want to recognize John Brown's link to Iowa by pointing out that Brown, on his way east to prepare for Harper's Ferry, stopped among the Quaker community in Iowa near Springdale. A couple of Quakers from that community, "abandoning their pacifist principals to fight with Brown," to paraphrase one source, accompanied him and helped to execute the violence at Harper's Ferry.
Springdale is within eyesight today of Interstate 80, about 55 miles west of the I-80 bridge over the Mississippi River. That Quaker community was the same later to influence the upbringing of Herbert Hoover, born in West Branch, about 6 miles to the west of Springdale. Herbert Hoover Historic Site explains some of Hoover's Quaker influences, and the site features a meetinghouse from the area used by the Friends. The national park is easily accessible, a little more than a quarter mile from the exit ramp of the interstate, and features Hoover's birth home, a presidential library, and gravesites.

Though I already blogged today about my creamy and fabulous Southwestern Broccoli Casserole recipe, I just had to share this after-dinner delight. I've been wanting to try a kale chip recipe for awhile now, and tonight I decided to go for it.
And man, did this hit the spot. I admit, in my pre-vegan days I really enjoyed a good bag of Hot Cheetohs, and I love crunchy "junk" foods. I've never been a big "sweets" person — I love savory flavors and crunchy textures.
What I love most about this recipe is how incredibly easy it was to make. I plan on serving it as a regular side dish in the future. So, without further ado:
Crunchy Vegan Kale Chips
Fresh, organic kale **make sure you buy organic — kale is one of the most pesticide-doused vegetables during its growing cycle
Your favorite spices
Earth Balance Butter
Cold-pressed, organic olive oil
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In the microwave or a skillet pan, prepare a mixture of cold-pressed olive oil and Earth Balance butter. (You could use Earth Balance or olive oil by itself, if you desired, as well.)
Tear the kale leaves, and dip each into the olive oil-Earth Balance mix. Place on a lightly greased pan.
Bake for 5-10 minutes, flip, and bake for another 5 minutes. (WARNING: These chips bake fast. Keep an eye on them!)
Add any spices you like. I used thyme, freshly cracked pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Twilight halted at the river's edge, examining the rushing water. Its motion was fascinating to her, a symphony of woven patterns described in blue and green and white. Intrigued, she extended her senses, as she had in the crèche, probing the river's depths. The surface of it faded, replaced by stream upon stream of code, of data, in countless formats, all of it rushing together. Streams would merge, separate, and intertwine, seemingly at random.
A pattern began to emerge; just the barest hints of a greater order to the flow at first, but the longer she looked, the more she could see. There was something directing it all, an intelligence behind it, working towards a purpose. Her curiosity pushed her to delve deeper, and she did, focusing and pushing at the bounds of what she could see, and hear, and feel. The streams of data began to blur together, becoming little more than a constantly changing backdrop of colors.
Something else came into focus then, so small and so fast that the first time she saw it, she wondered if it were real. But she saw it again, and tracked it, and realized that there were dozens, no, hundreds, no, thousands of them; little motes of light that zipped through and around the streams, and with each movement, the patterns would shift.
"What are you?" she whispered, entranced, and then watched in confusion as the activity turned into an absolute frenzy. The motes swarmed, thousands upon thousands of them gathering at the center of her awareness, working furiously at the pattern immediately before her. Before she could blink, what had been fluid became static, the flows rerouted into a constant pattern. They had answered her.
"FlowMgr.adm," she read, and tilted her head to the side, puzzled. "Flow emger? The 'm' is capitalized, so it's a different word from flow. Merger? No, they split them too. The file extension is reserved for administration. Aha!" she cried, and stomped the ground in triumph. "Manager! So you manage the flow of the river?"
The admin program blazed to life, rerouting the streams once more. Again, in less time than the blink of an eye, she had her answer: "All data flows for the Mannulus server cluster." She blinked, then gasped in comprehension.
"This entire section of the world … you … are you linked to Celestia and Luna?"
"Celestia.ai and Luna.ai are root administrators for Mannulus."
She nodded, her mind already considering the possibilities. This entity, or group of entities, really, had to be a veritable treasure trove of information! Oh, the things she could learn! She just had to ask the right questions. Questions like … Her brow furrowed as she scratched her chin, trying to think of something to ask. There was just so much she didn't know, like what the names of the other server clusters were, or how many there were, or how to get to them, or how the FM's did their job, or why they were so visible in the river but not in the ground, or even what the purpose of having a river was- wait, that last one was interesting.
"Woah! How are you doing that?" She screamed, losing all sense of balance and tumbling headfirst into the river. Panicking, she flailed about in the water, tumbling over and over as the rushing current carried her downstream. Before she could recover, she felt something grab her, and the next thing she knew, she was in the air above the river, streams of water falling from her as she was carried to the bank.
Her hooves touched down on soil, and she collapsed to the ground, panting. About seven different thoughts vied for supremacy, until finally the question of why she even needed to breathe was supplanted by the question of who had spoke to her, and, she assumed, pulled her from the river. Oh, and was speaking to her now. And poking her.
She opened her eyes and looked up, to find a very large, very blue face with fuchsia eyes staring at her. This time, she successfully clamped down on her first reaction, which would likely have sent her screaming away. "Hey there!" said the face, which, now that she looked, belonged to a rainbow-maned pegasus. "Sorry about that! I didn't think you'd fall in. You okay?"
She nodded, getting to her hooves and shaking herself off. "I'm okay. I think I just panicked."
The pegasus grinned at her, wings flapping in an almost lazy fashion. The motion arrested her attention, and she frowned, brow furrowing. Something seemed off. "How are you hovering?" she asked.
The pegasus quirked an eyebrow. "Really? That's the first thing you ask?"
She cocked her head to the side, puzzled. "Was that wrong?"
The pegasus blinked, and stared at her for a moment. "Uh … I guess not, really. Just normally people ask things like 'Who are you?' or 'What hit me?' or things like that."
"Oh," she said. "Okay. So who are you?"
The rainbow pony chuckled. "You're funny. I," he (or was it she?) said, thumping her (or was it his?) hoof against its (that was simpler) chest, "am designated RDash.ai, name Rainbow Dash, and I am the best pegasus around. Now how about you, little miss purple? Who are you?"
"Designation TSparkle.ai," she responded, her eyes fixating on the wings once again. "My name is Twilight Sparkle. How are you hovering?"
Rainbow stared at her, then slowly shook her head. "Really stuck on that, huh? Isn't the answer obvious? I have wings. They let me fly."
Twilight frowned. "But your body-mass to wing surface ratio doesn't add up, and to hover like that you should be flapping at a much faster rate. Basic aeronautics information wou-"
"Woah, woah, woah! Slow down there!" the pegasus cried, shoving a hoof into Twilight's mouth to cut her off. "You're waaaaay over-thinking this. If you really want the specifics, I'll tell ya, but it's really not that interesting. Seriously."
Twilight waited, her expression eager, which drew another raised eyebrow and a shake of the head from Rainbow. "Alright then. First thing," she said, raising a hoof. "Our world isn't exactly always bound by physics." Twilight blinked, then nodded, feeling a rush of warmth to her cheeks. The pegasus chuckled before continuing on. "Of course, in this case, it is, but seriously, keep that in mind, because otherwise you'll be freaking over just about everything. Second thing is my directive: I'm the go to test AI for any new aeronautics developments, since I can pretty much figure out its limits and do stuff with it no one else can. So I'm sporting data of tech that can do amazingly awesome things, and no, little egghead, I'm not gonna explain it. You want to know, you can go ask other eggheads."
Suddenly, Rainbow's face was in her own, their noses touching. Her mind scattered, conflicting thoughts and emotions rising up. Panic she suppressed, again, and chose instead to focus on recording the contact. It was … warm. And fuzzy. A little bit ticklish, too. "Hey!" She blinked, and realized she'd been ignoring the words the pegasus had spoken. Logs, logs, logs - ah! "So now you know about me, how about you? How were you doing that to the river?"
"Doing what to the river?"
The pegasus gave her a look that she could not quite place, a drawing down of the eyebrows, a flattening of the lips, and a dropping of the eyelids. It did not, she decided, appear to a pleased look. "What you were doing to it before you fell in."
"Oh," she said, biting her lip. "I was just talking to it. Well, to the Flow Manager, actually. Why?"
"You were talking to the … okay, wait, so you really don't know what was happening?"
She nodded her head, and then realized that, no, she hadn't really been looking at the world at this level during her conversation. "Uh, well, I thought I did, but maybe I didn't? I was really focused."
The pegasus sighed. "Here, let me show you."
Something pinged at the edge of her awareness, but before she could investigate, a screen appeared in the air beside the pegasus. She stared, fascinated, as the display lit up, showing a lavender-coated unicorn with a deep purple mane seated beside the river, leaning over its edge and staring into it. A check of her leg confirmed what she thought - the unicorn in the screen had to be her. So that was what she looked like! How interesting.
Her horn was limned in a lavender glow, matched by the glow that had spread across the river - and she realized that the water was dancing. It spouted in front of her, the spray of droplets twirling about in the air in an almost musical fashion, holding briefly in intricate patterns that she knew had a deeper meaning.
"Oh!" she said. "I didn't realize how it must have looked on the outside layer! That's amazing?" The video paused, and the screen disappeared.
"So that was you doing that," said the pegasus, eyes narrowed. "Seriously, how? I've seen unicorns and other 'magic' types toss stuff about, but never anything like that."
Twilight shook her head. "Oh no, that wasn't me. That was the Flow Manager. It was altering the data flow to communicate. I guess on the outside that meant that the river did that. It was actually really pretty!"
"So you're saying you talked to the river, and that show was the river talking back?"
"Huh. Well that's different," Rainbow said, scratching its head. "You're pretty interesting. And I know I haven't seen you around before. You new to the sector?"
Twilight nodded. "Actually, I just came out of Genesis."
The pegasus' jaw dropped. "You're a newborn?! What the flying feather are you doing way out here, then?"
Twilight peered up at her, confused. "Should I not be? I was brought here after Genesis. Well, back that way," she said, gesturing back the way she had come. "I was told I would find my home at the edge of the forest."
Rainbow opened her mouth, closed it, put a hoof to her chin, opened it again, and closed it again. Twilight watched, puzzled, a portion of her mind noting that this pony was female. "Is something wrong?"
"Uh … you know what? I'm gonna just say no. I think I know where you're supposed to go, though. Want me to show you?"
Twilight considered, looking back at the river. There really was a lot she could learn from the admin program … but she was supposed to find her home. And this pony was interesting. "Yes! Thank you.""Sweet. It's a good place. I think you'll like it."

Tablets aren't cheap, but they definitely are one of the best investments you can make during your time as a student. (read our previous post on buying a tablet and using it for learning)
However, simply buying a tablet and expecting wonders is not enough. You'll need to make some adjustments to the way you learn to be able to take maximum advantage of your investment.
Specifically, you need to actually integrate your tablet with your learning experience: leave your notepad at home, get all of your class notes digitally and start buying your books in e-book format. It will be difficult at first, and you may question whether it's all worth it in the end, but once you've adapted your workflow to the tablet, you'll reap the benefits tenfold.
Furthermore, you need to get the best apps for the job. Like computers can run software like Microsoft Word, tablets also have small software packages called "apps". There are hundreds of thousands of apps available for both iOS and Android – each of these apps performs specific functions and works well in specific contexts. Most apps are cheap (costing below $5 or R50) and can drastically boost your productivity.
For a list of useful iOS apps for students, take a look at this blog article. And for Android, check out this round-up.
TIP: For a guide to buying apps, check out this article for iOS and this one for Android.
Can a tablet replace a computer?
If cost is a big concern for you and you have to choose between a desktop computer/laptop or a tablet, you'll probably be wondering whether the latter can fully replace the former.
The short answer – at least at the moment – is NO. iPads and Galaxy Tabs (as well other Android devices) are extremely useful and will be able to accomplish mosteveryday tasks that students need to perform, e.g. browsing the web, reading e-mail, accessing a learning management system (e.g. SUNLearn), making notes, etc.
You can even write essays and reports on a tablet (although, for such heavy-duty typing, you'll probably need to buy an external keyboard as well). However, you won't be able to run the same software that you can run on a PC or Mac, because the software platforms are different. In other words: if your course requires of you to use specialised software (like a programming IDE or CAD design software), you'll probably not be able to get away with only a tablet.
While it's definitely true that a tablet works best if you have a computer/laptop as well, if you have to choose between the two, bear in mind that you can always use the University's computer centres (e.g. HUMARGA or FIRGA) for specialised software or heavy-duty typing. This might be a good way to avoid having to choose between buying a computer/laptop or a tablet.
Lastly, it should be noted that some Windows-based tablets (e.g. the Microsoft Surface Pro) actually run the same Windows platform that you'll find on a computer. Technically, then, these tablets are fully-fledged computers in a tablet form and therefore can replace a desktop computer/laptop completely. However, these tablets are expensive and have not been particularly popular, which should make you think twice before buying one.

If you're a marketer who's looking for a new print partner – one who'll help you create and produce effective campaigns – how do you know when you've found the right one?
While the working relationship with a printer is important, developing one takes time. Before you enter into an agreement and trust your first job with a commercial printer, you'll be interviewing someone, possibly by phone but hopefully in person. Typically, this will be a salesperson. So we suggest you ask targeted questions in this conversation. Get your list ready ahead of time. Find out what you can from the company's website, and speak with colleagues in your industry if you know they've worked with this particular printer.
You need to be specific with your questions. Don't waste time with things like, "How's your service?" because everyone will say, "Great!"
Here are the 6 questions every marketer should ask a prospective printer:
- Are you involved in working with multichannel marketing campaigns and omnichannel campaigns? Tell me about your experience with these.
You want to work with a company that's experienced in integrating effective marketing campaigns for their customers. This means they have experts on staff (marketing, data analysis, digital printing) and have invested in related technologies. This conversation is critical. Do they truly understand the components of a marketing campaign? Ask about recent examples and their involvement. Ask for the names of their experts, and when you've time, check out their LinkedIn profiles. Ask questions about how their team members stay on top of the latest marketing automation technologies and trends.
- What are your digital printing capabilities? Do you offer integrated campaigns that combine digital with print components?
It's important to know how much digital equipment they have, and whether they offer any digital enhancements to marketing pieces. Can they match your company colors on their digital equipment? What formats can they handle? Do they print envelopes digitally as well? A printer's digital capabilities should be extensive.
- How strong are your data processing capabilities? How long has your company been involved in data processing and how do you handle your data?
Most of your campaigns will be personalized and many will comprise multiple components. You'll be trusting commercial printers with your most sensitive customer and company data. Find out if data management and analysis is a strength. r
- Do you have on-site mailing and fulfillment capabilities? Describe some recent mail campaigns you've engineered.
Most of the large commercial printers have sophisticated mailing departments, and that's definitely a capability you're looking for. Find out how big and how skilled their mailing team is and whether there's someone at the helm who's literally a mailing specialist. Again, go to LinkedIn after the interview and check them out.
- What can you tell me about a recent marketing campaign you produced for a client? Why was this campaign so successful and what was your involvement?
A printer who's comfortable discussing marketing campaigns and who has sufficient experience will be able to provide a great deal of detail on a campaign he or she's worked on.
- Tell me about the breadth of your offset capabilities. What is your short-term and long-term plan for growth and development?
This line of questions will get a printer to share the company's growth strategy. How have they improved service and strengthened their capabilities year over year? A company that stands still for years is not a leader.
These questions might not seem like obvious ones for interviewing a commercial printer, but marketers need to work with printers who are highly experienced in shaping and measuring marketing campaigns. If you ask these questions, you'll know if a company is sufficiently skilled in all of the services you require.
We would like to answer questions about these and any other capabilities. Please contact us today.

I have no idea how to fix it, I've been through the standard settings and checked the volume but nothing seems to fix it. Every other notification is working fine and making the correct alert sounds but I'm getting nothing from the Facebook app. I have tried reinstalling the apps but this did nothing. I have never jailbroken either device either. Thanks.

Graph paper, which is printed with a grid of squares, has many uses including mathematical graphing, art projects, and map-making in tabletop role-playing games. You can also use graph paper for note-taking to evenly space letters.
Graph paper is useful in any application where it is important that elements are evenly spaced. For example, making a line graph can be extremely difficult on unlined paper, since the spacing needs to be consistent to effectively display information. Graph paper simplifies this process, since one square in the grid can be equal to one unit of measurement.
For home improvement projects, you can use graph paper to sketch out a project to scale. If you are laying out a kitchen, for example, you can treat each square on a piece of graph paper as a 1-foot square, giving you a better sense of scale as you draw your renovation project.
You can also use graph paper to create pixel art, treating each square as a single pixel of a larger drawing. Another use for graph paper is laying out a website, since you can treat each square as a pixel and figure out how page elements will look in relation to one another.

In the Old Testament this word occurs as the translation of na`ar, "young person," "child," "servant," the Revised Version (British and American) properly substituting "servant" in 2 Kings 4:19; Judges 16:26 is another passage where either sense of the original word may be intended. The word occurs in the New Testament in John 6:9 as the translation of paidarion; in Acts 20:12, pais (the King James Version "young man").

This series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists. You can see the introduction to this series here. In this post we discuss the earliest-known primate, and a chance event that would saddle some primate groups (including our own species) with the inability to synthesize their own vitamin C.
In the last post in this series, we examined the rapid diversification of placental mammals following the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs (caused by the asteroid impact marking the Cretaceous – Paleogene boundary 66 million years ago). Not long after this event (geologically speaking), primates enter the fossil record. Given that our own species is nested within the primates (a fact first recognized by Linnaeus in the 1700s), the origin of this group has been of considerable interest to paleontologists.
Presently, the oldest-known primate is a tiny creature from the middle Paleogene of what is present-day China. This tiny primate, Archicebus achilles, is a crown-group haplorhine, that lived about 55 million years ago. Haplorhines are a monophyletic group that includes present-day tarsiers, and anthropoid (or "human-like") species: New - World monkeys, Old – World monkeys, and great apes - including humans. Tarsiers and anthropoids are more closely related to each other than to lemurs, another primate group with present-day species:
Beyond its age and current status as the oldest-known primate, Achicebus achilles is also noteworthy in that it appears to be very close to the last common ancestral population of the crown-group tarsier and crown-group anthropoid lineages, though it appears more closely related to tarsiers than to the anthropoid lineage (i.e. despite being close to the last common ancestor of tarsiers and anthropoids, Archicebus is best understood as a stem-group tarsier). The features of Archicebus and its location close to the base of the primate lineage suggest that last common ancestral population of primates was similarly small in stature, arboreal (tree-dwelling), and fed on insects. The location of Archicebus also supports the hypothesis that primates first evolved in Asia, and later migrated to Africa (where, as we will see in an upcoming post, the lineage leading to humans would evolve).
Goodbye to GULO
It is at the base of the haplorhine tree that an event occurs that we have previously discussed as strong evidence for human – ape common ancestry, and an event that many Christians who have examined the evidence for evolution are familiar with. One shared feature of haplorhine primates is their curious inability to make their own vitamin C, forcing them to acquire it from their diet. This is unusual – the majority of mammals (including non-haplorhine primates) are able to make vitamin C starting from the basic dietary sugar glucose. The genetic reason for this deficiency has been determined: in haplorhine primates, the enzyme that performs the last step in vitamin C biosynthesis (called L-gulonolactone oxidase; abbreviated as "GULO") is missing. Despite this lack of enzyme function, however, the mutated remains of the gene that codes for the GULO enzyme is found in these primates. Since this deficiency affects all haplorhine primates, the simplest explanation is that this enzyme function was lost only once, prior to the divergence of the haplorhine crown group:
In order to appreciate the molecular details of the loss of GULO in the haplorhine lineage, let's briefly review gene structure and function, something that I have discussed in more detail elsewhere:
The technical name for a gene segment that is spliced into the mRNA is an "exon" – and functional GULO genes in mammals have twelve exons. When comparing the sequence of the GULO gene in great apes (which are crown-group haplorhines), we see that many of the exons of the GULO gene have been deleted entirely, completely removing the possibility of function. In humans, for example, only exons 4, 7, 9, 10, and 12 remain – and chimpanzees and macaques have the same pattern:
It is not likely that all of the deletion events that removed these exons were the original mutations that removed the function of this gene in the haplorhine lineage. Rather, these deletions likely took place after the original loss of GULO function, when additional mutations to this (now nonfunctional) sequence would have no further consequence to an already defective gene. The shared deletions we see in great apes, however, did take place before these species went their separate ways – and were inherited by the resulting species in this group, in exactly the way we have discussed previously in this series, when we spent several posts likening genomes to "copied texts" that accumulate errors over time.
Shared mutations – a perennial challenge to antievolutionary views
While observing defective genes with identical mutations in nested groups of species is easy to understand from an evolutionary viewpoint, this issue remains an extremely difficult problem for antievolutionary organizations to explain. Indeed, the only recourse is to try to argue that the identical mutations we observe across numerous species were not inherited from a common ancestor – and thus must have occurred independently in each species. The probability of identical mutations occurring multiple times in independent species is of course vanishingly small, to say nothing of such events producing the precise phylogenetic pattern predicted by all other lines of evidence.
So, despite the unfortunate loss of GULO – and a consequent requirement for dietary vitamin C – the anthropoid lineage would continue to expand and diversify. In the next post in this series, we'll continue to examine the diversification of this group, and the appearance of our own group within it: Homo.

Feigning a Relish

- The Tate: A History by Frances Spalding
Tate Gallery, 308 pp, £25.00, April 1998, ISBN 1 85437 231 9
This useful, well-balanced and at times enthralling history of the Tate Gallery was commissioned for its centenary. It more or less coincides with the obsequies for the Gallery as we have known it and with the baptism – by marketing experts, one supposes – of TGBA and TGMA, twin offspring of the deceased, dedicated to British art and modern art respectively, and already known as Millbank and Bankside. The institution has in fact often changed identity. It began by being British but took on a North American look. The dust-jacket shows the austere lonic Portland stone sculpture hall. Spalding observes, justly, that by insisting on the intervention of the American architect John Russell Pope in 1929 the sponsor, Lord Duveen of Millbank, was promoting, against the inclinations of British curators and civil servants, the 'latest American style', the style of the new sculpture gallery in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Pope was subsequently chosen as the architect of the National Gallery of Art in Washington and was also responsible for the design of the Duveen Gallery for the Elgin Marbles in the British Museum (not, as Spalding claims, destroyed in the Second World War but damaged and re-opened in 1962). The hushed temple in the heart of the Tate was for sculpture which had to be lent by the V & A.
Following the example of his father, Sir Joseph Joel Duveen, who commissioned W.H. Romaine-Walker to create the Turner Wing (the first Turner Wing, opened in 1910), Joseph Duveen had already paid for the new modern foreign galleries and the Sargent Gallery, which were inaugurated in 1927 (also partly the work of Romaine-Walker). Spalding records this munificence fully and illustrates the splendid rooms, but we are not encouraged to step back and reflect that in the first hundred years of the National Gallery, parent of the Tate (which was only granted full independence in 1955), none of a whole series of new galleries had been sponsored. We think of such benefactions as typically American, but were the Duveens inspired by the example of their transatlantic clients or did they favour the Tate because it had been founded at the initiative of another merchant prince, Sir Henry Tate? And why were the gestures of the Duveens so rarely imitated before the new Turner Wing of the Tate, the Clore Gallery, opened in 1987?
Spalding is remarkably candid, if often crisp, in her survey of recent developments. These include the attempt made in the mid-Eighties by the millionaire property developer and art collector Peter Palumbo to extend his power as chairman of the trustees and to reduce the role of the director, Alan Bowness, to that of a manager. The political circumstances in which this coup nearly succeeded are not neglected, but more context and commentary are required if they are to be understood. Palumbo may have been inspired in his conduct by American museum trustees, who often, and not always unreasonably, behave as if they own the institution they represent.
It was under Thatcher that the traditional role of the museum trustee in this country began to be ignored or misunderstood. Indeed the idea of an inconspicuous but vigilant custodian of the achievements of the past and an independent assessor of the needs of posterity has no place in the model of government that she espoused – and has bequeathed to her successors.
Today the Tate is no longer run by a director with assistance from curators, but by a director with a 'management team', which inevitably includes senior administrators with no special knowledge of art. One finds in the Civil Service and in the business world, and of course in universities and hospitals, 'team' members addicted to acronyms and bullet points, and dedicated to market strategies, consumer surveys and retail opportunities. A new 'management culture' is being absorbed by museums and galleries. It wins Lottery funding and government approval, but it tends to stifle unorthodox intelligence and has little of the sympathy for the past which is the best protector of future needs. We must hope this does not happen at the Tate.
The Gallery's imminent division may be an appropriate moment to review the prehistory of the type of institution, or rather types of institution, which it embodies. This means looking back, not a hundred years but two hundred, and not to London or New York so much as to Paris. That city, long the chief supplier in Europe of luxury crafts, and the centre of modern fashion, was enabled by Napoleon's conquests to appropriate much of the status previously enjoyed by Rome and other Italian cities as the repository of the masterpieces of the past. Yet after Waterloo, when British diplomats insisted on the restitution of most of the greatest cultural trophies in the Louvre, Paris somehow regained its dominance.

P Garry Monk says he is confident that Leeds United's attacking options will produce enough goals in the Championship this season, despite admitting that the signing of another striker would have given him the "perfect situation".
Garry Monk says he is confident that Leeds United's attacking options will produce enough goals in the Championship this season, despite admitting that the signing of another striker would have given him the "perfect situation".
United's head coach tried and failed to land a forward before last month's transfer deadline, making approaches for West Ham United's Ashley Fletcher and Arsenal's Yaya Sanogo, but he backed Chris Wood, Marcus Antonsson and Souleymane Doukara to deliver for Leeds up front.
The club's six league games have yielded only five goals and Monk's decision to send on Doukara during Saturday's defeat to Huddersfield Town - introducing a player who has figured sporadically at Leeds over the past two years - led to jeers from the crowd.
Monk is currently sticking with a front two of Wood and Antonsson and asked if he had enough choice, he said: "I think one (more) striker would have been the perfect situation in terms of competition and the size of that department. I talked about that before the window closed.
"But the guys who are here, Souley, Woody and Marcus, they're good players. They're going to get better and they're more than capable of getting goals in this league. You've seen in games what they're able to do and how dangerous they can be."
Speaking ahead of tonight's meeting with Blackburn Rovers, Monk implied that Northern Ireland international Stuart Dallas was poised to return to the fray having again been absent from United's 18-man squad for the derby with Huddersfield.
Dallas has been sidelined recently due to Monk's belief that the winger returned from a busy summer and an appearance at Euro 2016 below his best.
Dallas travelled away with Northern Ireland during the international break and Monk said: "He's back to his normal self. I had a good chat with Stuart when he came back. He's an important player for us.
"It's very normal after big international tournaments. The players come back with the right intentions. Stuart's a very good lad, a hard trainer, but it's for me to help him. He's closing in on getting back to his best."
Monk, however, warned Matt Grimes that he was likely to have to wait for another opportunity after overlooking the on-loan Swansea City midfielder during the early stages of the season.
Grimes, who signed on a season-long deal in July, started Leeds' first game away at Queens Park Rangers but that fixture ended in an unflattering 3-0 defeat and he has featured only once more since, in a League Cup tie at Luton Town.
Monk, who has a glut of central midfielders available to him and brought in Eunan O'Kane from Bournemouth on deadline day, said: "What's happening at this stage with Matty is that there's a good group of midfielders competing very well. Difficult decisions have to be made and when you pick teams, 11 can start, there's only seven you can put on the bench and some have to miss out.
"Some of the ones who've missed out have been very unfortunate. Your job as a footballer is to be ready when the chance comes and knowing Matty as I do, he'll be ready when he's called upon."

Le Pied – litterally : The Foot. But, in French slang, « prendre son pied » (to take one's own foot) is to have one's kicks, especially but not only in a sexual way – is a movie by Pierre Unia, whose career is exclusively made of softcore and hardcore movies (sometimes under the alias Reine Pirau).
This is one of his very first movies and it's something of a curiosity. Mostly a silly comedy with very respectable actors (Micheline Dax, for instance, was a well-known screen and stage actress and, at one point, co-hosted children programs on French TV), it includes a number of harcore sex scenes. No, the respectable actors do not participate in them, and they might not even have been aware that they were acting in a sex movie.

GRANDVIEW - A Prosser man, 32-year-old Jose L. Valencia, was yesterday (Thursday) arrested by Grandview police in connection to two drive-by shootings.
Grandview police believe him to be the shooter during an incident in the 700 block of North Third Street last Friday, as well as a drive-by shooting incident in the 900 block of Pleasant Avenue, just outside city limits this past Monday.
Assistant Police Chief Mark Ware said witnesses identified a white Chevrolet dually that was used during the incident that occurred inside city limits. Detectives began to focus on Valencia as a possible suspect and worked with Prosser police to determine the vehicle belonged to a resident of that city.
After obtaining a search warrant from a Benton County judge, law enforcement officers from Prosser and the Benton County Sheriff's Office assisted Grandview detectives with a search of Valencia's home in the 300 block of Merlot Drive in Prosser.
"Recovered were two semi-automatic handguns...ammunition recovered seemed to match components that had been recovered at the Grandview drive-by scene," said Ware.
He said Valencia was taken into custody without incident.
Grandview police are requesting the suspect be charged with 12 counts of assault first degree and 12 counts of drive-by shooting, the number of counts matching the number of individuals inside the North Third Street home at the time of the shooting.
"As always, the prosecutors will make the final determination on formal charges filed," said Ware.
He said the incident on North Third Street is not believed to be gang-related. It is believed Valencia's alleged motive had "something to do with an estranged girlfriend."
Stew Graham, chief of detectives for the Sheriff's office, said officials believe Valencia is also a suspect in the Pleasant Avenue incident, however charges have not yet been forwarded to the prosecutor.
No injuries were reported in either of the two drive-by shootings.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the site and thought I would introduce myself. I am 56 years old, live in Northern California with my wife and daughter. I was diagnosed with Type 2 in '95, suffer from Dry AMD, am a testicular cancer survivor since '06 and have a 30% Renal failure. I'm hoping to gain other's insight into what they are experiencing.
My biggest "complaint" is my feet. They constantly feel swollen and painful but they're not swollen at all. At night they feel hot to the point that I will kick any covering off of them or I will move them around to find the "cool" spots in the sheets. Anyone else dealing with this?
30 replies
Hi my name is Peggy and I am new to this site also. Hello and welcome! I also have problems with my feet, I have neuropathy in my hands and feet so taking care of my feet always makes me nervous. I have found that I can't stand having sheets or blankets on my feet, they feel heavy and uncomfortable. I don't have any real answers I wish I did but know that you are not alone.
Hi there,my name is tori ann steele it's nice to meet you all.
i was diagnose with type 2 diabetes on december 8,2008.
i was shocked.
and frighten.
but i'm doing good.
exercising more.
so how long have you all been diagnosed?
at first it was painful but now it's not.
my birthday is on june 28th i will be 33yrs old that's on a monday.
don't forget.
i was born in 1977.
well that's all and it's great to be on here.
see ya-tori
First off Welcome to this site Tom. I have been her I htink a year now or close to it. :) Love it here so much info and so many ppl her to help ya. My problems are I deal with high Bsugars. ALOT, everyday. I also have problems with my feet feeling like they are swollen when not. Unsure about that. I deal with buldging disc in my lower back and my pelvis gives me alot of problems. I have also had neck surgery two yrs ago so still deal with that pain as well. I also have gastic perisis, where the stomach doesnt I guess digested fast enough. Those are my major problems, along with tother things. :) I hope that you find a solution about ur feet, let me know. :)
Thank you for the welcome! My sugars run high also, have the swollen feet "feeling" when they're actually not and have 7 mis-aligned/herniated discs. I wonder how much if any, the back problem affects only the feet? I should have never mentioned my feet, had an attack of gout after posting it. That'll teach me…haha! Thanks for the input!
Welcome Tom.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that if you can get a natural dietary supplement called "Oil of Evening Primrose" and take 4,000 mg of it every day you should be seeing an improvement with respect to the "pins and needles" feeling. Even though I have that feeling almost every day, it's not near as bad since I've been taking the Primrose oil. I get mine at Trader Joe's here in NJ but I think you can probably pick it up at any health food store. Just make sure it's fresh and hasn't been sitting on the shelf for months.
I mentioned the hot feeling to my podiatrist one time and he said if it doesn't happen all the time (which it doesn't) to put them under cold running water which actually helps. I've also put ice in an ice bag and put that (10 minutes on; 10 minutes off) on my feet one time when the hot feeling was almost unbearable. I don't get that hot feeling all of the time, thank God, but I do have the tingling or "pins and Needles" almost every day. I go to my podiatrist every 3 months regularly and he tells me if he notices anything new. Plus, I always let him cut my nails as I'm afraid to do it.
Hi Emma! The hot feeling in my feet is not to the point that I would use ice but cool sheets and/or cool water certainly feel good on them. They feel swollen but they're actually not. After I posted about my feet, I had an attack of gout. Guess maybe I should have kept quiet! LOL! Thanks for the input!!
Hi and Welcome.
Have you scheduled an appointment with a podiatrist? What meds are your taking, Actos causes swelling of the ankels and feet. I had to stop taking Actos because of the swelling and tingling feeling in my legs and feet. You should ask your doctor.
Welcome Tom, I have neuropathy of my feet also. Burning, tenderness, tingling, swelling. Somedays I can't stand my shoes or socks. The socks feel like sand paper rubbing on them. I take Nerotin for this and it does help alot. I think you should tell your doctor so you can get medication. Neuropathy can be serious.
Your New Friend
Hello there Tom and welcome! I have neuropathy in my heals. My feet feel like some is lighting them on fire at times. My bed ALWAYS has to be cold. I do though have the swelling. It has be believed it is part diabetes and the after effects of a bone infection I had in my foot almost 3 years ago. Just be careful of your feet, check them daily, and don't let them get dried and cracked or open sores. That is an open season for a infection of the bone and other serious infections. Again welcome! :)
Hi Tom and welcome to dc.
I have HOT feet also! It's called neuropathy. Your doctor can give med that will help.
Thanks Jeannie! So I'm not alone! Yeah!! Another med? Wow! I guess I could another pill to my "breakfast" of pills…what type of medication is used for this?
I take neurotin(sp) It helps a lot.

What you should consider When obtaining a Photo Booth Rental organizationMany of maybe you are deciding on leasing a photo booth for the wedding or some other huge celebration. Firstly, I actually suggest renting one just because these photo booths are FAR FUN!! keep in touch with those that have hired one plus they are sure to rave about what a great tip they is and can concur that you have to get one too!
Is a listing of many critical indicators to start thinking about when shopping for a photo booth rental:
Printing Quality: numerous photo booth companies incorporate printers that do not create true picture quality designs in order to save cash and time. Whenever you, ask the possibility businesses to send your real trial photos to help you examine the print high quality. Your will be blown away from the change once you see the quality of those images side-by-side.
Image Size: inquire how big the file sizes are which can be created from the photo booth. You never know once you'll have that "One in so many" shot and whenever you create, you will need the option to enlarge the printing as much as 16 in or even bigger.
Redundancy: This is your wedding! Ensure the photo booth company that you choose have back upwards devices. You will never know whenever a hard drive, camera, flash, printer, etc may do not succeed. Learn how most stands they have available too in case their one and just booth rests along the time before your day.
Reputation: I can't inform you just how horror that is many now I notice of a bride practically obtaining robbed by their photo booth company. useful reference If one thing does go wrong, make sure that you hire a company that is reputable profile is obviously really worth significantly more than you will end up paying for your company's rental. Manage a Google research utilising the team term followed closely by the phrase "reviews" to actually do your research.
Right back Up processes: enquire about the trunk up procedure of the documents. Just how long will they keep your data files you lose your DVD years down the line for you in case? Perform they save your valuable valuable data on a spinning drive that is hard may crash or manage they archive them to pricey tape back right up systems?
Deal: ensure you posses a finalized contract aided by the organization you decide on. This not simply protects them, but they shields your too!

Arsenal will play two pre-season fixtures in the US ahead of the 2016-17 campaign, the club has confirmed.
Arsene Wenger's side are scheduled to face an MLS All-Star side in San Jose on July 28, before facing Chivas de Guadalajara in Los Angeles on July 31.
"Pre-season is a critically important time for us and we are delighted to be going to San Jose and Los Angeles to participate in the 2016 MLS All-Star game and to play Chivas," Wenger told the club's official website.
"We have tremendous support across America and enjoyed our visit to New York in the summer of 2014 when we played the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena. We look forward to giving our US fans the chance to see the team play live."
Arsenal revealed the remainder of their pre-season fixtures, which have not yet been announced, will be played in Europe.
The Gunners will likely take host and take part in the Emirates Cup as part of their preparations for next season.
Wenger's side face Leicester in the Premier League this weekend knowing they must avoid defeat to stay in the title race.
Top flight leaders Leicester are five points clear of Arsenal, with the Gunners targeting a return to form after a disappointing January.
