MAP chief curator Cheryl Hartub collaborated with the artist Victor Vázquez in the translation of several of his most memorable images into a museum installation, titled "Dialogues." With eight light boxes and two other sculptural works, the project manages to re-contextualize the MAP permanent collection at the same time that it gives new life to Vázquez' sepia-toned photographs addressing questions of body politics.
My favorite juxtaposition between old and new was Mattress and Ball (2005), a work that features a pair of free-standing photographs of a soccer ball sitting amidst a messy tangle of hair and dirt on top of a used mattress. An obvious homage to Arte Povera, the work looked elegantly out of place in MAP's pristine galleries, not to mention juxtaposed with Vanitas (1678), a 17th-century painting by Pieter Gerritsz Van Roestraeten. But both artists present the eternal conflict between life and all its stuff and the dark finality of death. In Vanitas, the material world is symbolized by a shiny black-and-gold lacquered chest with elaborate Rococo mounts. For Vázquez, materiality is represented by a small tin can holding a toy soccer ball (like a coffin) that sat on the floor, not far from the two photos. Painted on the floor, beside the can, is a bold question mark.
Vázquez took a chance at syncretism by mixing Catholic iconography with the Afro-Caribbean religious traditions of Santeria in a two-sided light box placed in the Spanish Baroque wing. The image that stood out is Still Life for Yemayá (1994), in which a foot pierced by nails calls to mind martyrdom and crucifixion. As the title refers to the name of the Santeria deity Yemayá, the foot in front of Francisco de Zurbaran's The Crucifixion (1630) seemed to question assumptions we all have about faith and the common denominators in the representation of its iconography.

One of many easiest cruise strains you are able to take to travel to Caribbean island locations is Royal Caribbean Cruise Strains () but you may discover a lot of cruise ship firms and some that are not as famous may be higher values. Kodaikanal does not have any railway station and your solely option to travel there's two wheeler and four wheeler. The ninth U.S. Circuit Courtroom of Appeals, ruling within the Washington case, stated the ban possible violated the state's due process rights and suspended it. A declaration from Expedia said the order could affect the travel itineraries of at the least 1,000 customers, costing it refunds as well as expenses to monitor how the order is utilized and who exactly is affected.
So if you are heading overseas to a destination where it is probably not handy or secure to be carrying a lot of money, a travel cash card may be a good consideration. Many travel businesses can advise you on what sort and how a lot travel insurance coverage it's best to secure for the trip. Running a travel business from home is turning into common; actually, a new wave of travel consultants holds workplace throughout the confines of their living rooms!
Another plaintiff is the Center Jap Research Affiliation, which says the travel ban impacts students and students who're related to it and are frightened about traveling abroad for worry of being stranded. Remember to maintain some clothes for parties and occasions because the travel shouldn't be solely about sex. There's a scarcity of gas stations within the countryside, so filling the gasoline tank utterly when passing by means of city space is advisable and since there's lack of national recovery system; travelers ought to be ready for an emergency or breakdown earlier than hand.
Traveling in your own vehicle is clearly essentially the most affordable option to go, and you do not even should enterprise very removed from dwelling to search out an ideal pet pleasant vacation spot to save on both gas and time. Sadly for the tip customers, these firms didn't actually provide much real value and left them with a bone to pick" with the whole community advertising travel trade.
The hassle of going to a ravel company or standing within the queue to e-book tickets isn't an choice. Basically, because of this it's best to be capable of enter the safety checkpoint and leave it quicker than most other travelers, such as the travelers who're decked out in multiple accessories that might must be removed prior to screening, or may set off a security scanner.

Hey guys! So the awesome staff over at Third Epiphany have an awesome idea of how to put Twilight back at the top in the box office! Now, we've all noticed the unfortunate rapid fall of the box office numbers since Twilight's first week of release. However, we'd love to put out an opportunity for every Twilighter out there to make a statement.
What is that statement? Well, that Twilight rocks! Here's what you need to do: Get to the movie theaters on December 12th, the original release date of the movie, and watch Twilight. All of you! If this works out and everyone really takes it to heart, maybe we can bring Twilight to the top of the box office again before it's out of theaters… forever. Think about it. We can make a supreme movie comeback!
Grab all your friends and family, and get to the theaters on December 12th,
2008! Tell all your friends, and hop to it! Make your dedication to our
beloved saga known!

Gujarat to seek Sri Lanka's help in setting up resorts
Gujarat will shortly contact Sri Lanka following its offer of assistance to set up resorts along the state's 1,600-km coastline.india Updated: May 24, 2009 16:41 IST
Gujarat will shortly contact Sri Lanka following its offer of assistance to set up resorts along the state's 1,600-km coastline.
"At the Vibrant Gujarat summit in January, Sri Lankan officials had offered to help us set up resorts on the Saurashtra-Kutch coastline on a public private partnership (PPP) model," a senior state tourism department official said.
However, according to him, two developments delayed any progress: Sri Lanka's preoccupation with the offensive against Tamil rebels, and the Lok Sabha polls in India.
Gujarat's tourism department officials had reportedly been told at the summit that Sri Lankan entrepreneurs were best equipped to help the state develop resorts on a PPP model given their long experience in developing such resorts in the island nation.
Following this, Gujarat too had shown an interest in inviting investment from Sri Lankan entrepreneurs to develop hotels and motels on the national highway on the Saurashtra coast connecting Jamnagar with Porbander.
"We are following up on the offers made by companies or individual entrepreneurs during the summit," the tourism department official said.

In the end, Manu was competing with Mexico's Aljandra Zavala for the title and looked to finish second. But she stunned her competition with a near-perfect shot of 10.8 to turn the silver into goldSimultaneously, India's 10m air rifle shooter Ravi Kumar finished with a bronze medal.

The city of Novgorod was an unusual inclusion on our itinerary, not then visited by most tourists, but it was an appropriate break on the long drive between St Petersburg and Moscow. That's aka Novgorod Veliky, not to be confused with Nizhny Novgorod, east of Moscow. It was an interesting prospect since it is older and much more historic than both the principal cities.
Novgorod is revered territory as the birthplace and fatherland of Russia. First documented in 859 AD before Christianization, it was politically tied to Kiev (Kievan Rus') for some time, then became a princely republic in its own right, controlling wide areas beyond. Its location at the end of the Silk Road and its trade with the Hanseatic League network made it a wealthy, powerful state until Ivan III of Moscow (Ivan the Terrible) sicced his oprichniki on them in 1570. Novgorod declined and Moscow ascended.
Our local guide Galena met us on our arrival to make a tour, since we would have a much longer drive, and early call, the next day. She took us to the ancient kremlin, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. According to Galena, the bridge between the kremlin and the old town is where early citizens would meet to resolve problems; debates often accelerated with much shouting or sometimes physical blows. The peaceful 30-acre kremlin grounds appeared a bit neglected; gigantic old bells were sitting dormant in a courtyard.
St Sophia is the patron saint of the city, thus the name of the eleventh-century cathedral. Bells in the tower were pealing at the time and the faithful were approaching for a church service — by no means all old people, as I'd expected. We learned the symbolism of the "onion" domes of the Orthodox churches. Of course they are not onions. They are candle flames. Three on a church = the Trinity. Five = Jesus & the four New Testament authors. Thirteen = Jesus & the twelve apostles. Pretty well everywhere we saw in Russia, the domes were painted with gold leaf.
The most famous native son was Alexander Nevsky, Prince of Novgorod 1236-1252. I did a little more research later on ... acclaimed for defeating invading Swedish forces in 1240, he also frustrated the Teutonic knights on a bloodthirsty incursion, keeping both at bay. His alliance with the Mongols, who had reached their doorstep, saved Russians from full-scale oppression. Nevsky's acknowledged leadership of the times, supported by church and boyars and other princes, saw him canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church some three hundred years after his death.
Some vendors on our way out of the kremlin made much of birchbark paintings and souvenirs. We had been told many times that many of the poor try to develop a little extra income by selling roadside products like potatoes, mushrooms, berries, dried/smoked fish or crafts. They were not aggressive vendors and we were happy to oblige.
That evening travel buddy and I walked down to the Volnya River which divides the town; lovely place where some men were fishing, an obvious picnic-lovers' spot. Reality check: a moment grasping a feel for 1,200 years of clamorous events. History, here.

Purpose of This Site
The most important purpose is to inspire others to rise above the religious dark ages we have been in since the beginning of time.
If people understood religion:
There would be no suicide bombers.
There would be no oppressed people.
There would be very little mental illness.
People would make the rules, and not follow a sick religious leader.
People would stop telling others how to live.
People would follow the Golden Rule and throw out the religious dogma.
People would help others instead of finding fault and harming them.
People would simply mind their own business unless someone is physically harming another or another's property.
"It's not really that hard to live as civilized people

Trinette - posted on 02/25/2015 ( 13 moms have responded )
I was supposed to be marrying my daughter's father. Once she was born and about 1 month old I found out that he payed someone to marry him for his citizenship (didn't even know he wasn't a citizen) and was feeding me lies about marriage the whole time I was pregnant and before I got pregnant. We talked about giving our children his last name since eventually I would have his name as well so I gave her his last name and then found out he was already married. I want to change her name to mine for that reason. Will he be able to fight it? Yes he signed the birth certificate but has not bought not one thing our baby needed and very rarely comes around. Baby is 3months. I would hate for her to have to grow up with that jerks last name. Also he got married while I was still pregnant but I never knew about it he did not tell me

The Continuation of Princess Rouge
Scene 5: Star Crossed Revelations
Throughout the Castle of the Underworld, the usual sound that could be heard ringing through the halls was the loud, booming voice of Master Raiga. He was usually instructing one of his followers on the latest plan to capture Princess Rouge, or instructing one of the servants to do something throughout the depths of the Underworld.
However, on this day, Raiga had planned to be alone. He had no more Generals to instruct to capture Rouge. They had all failed him. But he needed Rouge. Needed her for the Key to the seal of Gaia. For his daughter.
His daughter. He had led the revolution for her. Had planned for her to rule the Underworld with him. But she hated him. She didn't even know the truth.
Raiga sighed. Soon. Soon, his daughter would know the truth. She would rule the Underworld with him at his side.
It had been several weeks since the last servant, Omega, had been sent from Raiga. Meige had almost completely healed from the wounds that Lt. Telra had given her. Koine and Takashi were back in school. Life was getting back to normal.
Omega had decided to stay at Yusuke's house, guarding Kaige and Meige round the clock. Meige had offered to let the magician sleep in the shed with them, despite the fact that there was barely enough room there for Kaige and herself, but he had declined.
Yusuke wasn't sure what Omega did during the night. As long as he was awake, Omega was always keeping watch. While he was at school, Rouge told him that Omega was keeping watch. When did the guy sleep? But that didn't really matter. Yusuke liked the fact that Rouge was always being protected. It made him feel safe to leave her when he went to school, or to Basketball practice.
However, there was one thing that was still bothering Yusuke. Tsutomu. He hadn't been the same since Takashi and Koine had returned. He had acted strange. Distant. He didn't seem to trust Yusuke anymore. He wouldn't tell Yusuke what was bothering him, and every time he asked, Tsutomu denied his strange behavior.
Yusuke rolled over in his futon and looked at the clock that had been placed near his head on the floor. It was a traditional alarm clock, yellow, with the minute hand pointing at the large Arabic numeral six, and the hour hand pointing at a large Arabic five. It was five thirty in the morning.
He still had plenty of time before school started.
Next to him, Rouge slept soundly. He watched as her chest rose and fell under the blankets for a moment, then as silently as he could, got out from under the blanket and walked into the kitchen.
He couldn't get back to sleep. Not now, at least.
Raiga put the photograph of his daughter back down on the altar. The time had come. All of his Generals had failed. The only one he could trust to get the job done right was himself. He would capture Princess Rouge himself. Then he would get the key to the Seal of Gaia, and would be unstoppable.
Meige awoke with a start. She could feel something coming. Someone coming. Someone with a very strong aura. No one on Earth had this strong an aura, and there is only one person in the Underworld who had such a strong aura.
Raiga. Raiga was finally coming. To get Rouge.
Kaige was already up and out the door, in her battle armor. She was running towards Yusuke's house. Meige quickly jumped to her feet, and got into her battle armor as well. This was it. The final battle with Raiga was coming.
It was still early, but Yusuke was already in his school uniform. Rouge was still asleep when Kaige burst into Yusuke's house.
"K- Kaige!" Yusuke exclaimed in surprise, jumping up from his seat at the table. "W- What are you doing here?"
"Raiga is coming," She replied, than turned her attention to Rouge. "Rouge, wakeup." She gently poked her sister a little. "Rouge, wakeup!"
"Mmm?" Rouge mumbled in her sleep. Suddenly, her eyes popped open. "Kaige-san."
"Get up," she replied. "Raiga is coming for you. Get up now."
"O- Okay," Rouge said as Kaige turned and hurried out of the house.
Great, Yusuke thought to himself. Why today of all days?
Rouge stepped out of the house a moment later, Yusuke following behind her. He had a grim look on his face that radiated his feelings to those around him.
"Rouge, Get between us!" Kaige ordered her sister.
"Ha- Hai!" She said as she made her way to her sisters.
Kaige and Meige stood back to back, their swords drawn, and Rouge between them. Yusuke stood back near the house, not wanting to get in the way when Raiga finally did appear.
Omega summoned his magical powers into the form of a bow and arrow. The magical weapon shimmered in the early morning sun, as Omega drew an arrow from behind his back and placed it within the bow. This was it. He would finally be able to share his true feelings.
Omega could feel Raiga's aura. He was close. Very close. But where was he? He was taking his time. He wasn't in a rush.
Moments passed, and nothing happened. Meige could feel the tension from Rouge, huddled between Kaige and herself. But they were going to protect her. Raiga wouldn't get his hands on her sister. Not while she had anything to say about it.
"Why is he taking so long?" Kaige asked anxiously.
"I don't know," Meige replied. "But he'll be coming soon. I can feel it."
"Don't worry, Hime-sama," Omega called out. "I will handle Raiga."
"You will, will you?" A loud booming voice called out. It seemed to come from every direction. Meige looked around, but couldn't figure out where it was coming from.
"Where are you Raiga?" Omega yelled out, turning around in circles. "Come out and face us!"
"Omega," Raiga's booming voice continued. "Why did you betray me? I will give you one last chance to capture Princess Rouge."
"No," Omega replied. "I will not let you have Princess Rouge. You will have to go through me first."
"You have made your choice, Omega," Raiga's voice replied. "Now you will pay for your betrayal." The wind started to rustle the nearby leaves as a cloud of smoke appeared and started to descend to the ground. The smoke turned a yellow color and took the form of Master Raiga.
"Raiga," Meige heard Omega mutter under his breath. "I will never forgive myself for betraying my family. But I will avenge them." With that, Omega fired the arrow in his magical bow. It sailed through the air towards Raiga.
Meige watched from the corner of her eye as Omega lower his bow and watched the arrow sail towards Raiga. And bounce off of an invisible shield.
"No!" Omega cried out.
"You should know that you can't kill me that easily," Raiga laughed.
"You!" Omega cried out as the bow in his hands transformed in a flash of light into a spear. Gripping the spear tightly, Meige watched as Omega charged at Raiga.
The following seemed to happen in slow motion. Meige watched as Omega charged full force towards Raiga, the spear gripped tightly in his hands. She watched as Raiga lifted up his right hand and fired a blast of energy at Omega. He didn't see it coming.
"Omega!" Meige barely had time to call out before it hit him full force in the chest. The spear fell out of his hands and clattered uselessly onto the ground before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Omega fell backwards from the force of the blast, blood from the wound on his chest flying everywhere. Meige could see that it was a bad wound. She took a deep breath, and ran over to him.
What was happening?
He'd been hit. Raiga had attacked him. With what?
It didn't matter. He was bleeding. It was bad.
He wasn't going to make it. He wasn't going to get to avenge his family. He wasn't going to get to live to see Raiga dead.
Meige came running up a moment later. "Omega!"
"Meige-sama," Omega managed to choke out. He wasn't going to get to live much longer. He had to tell her. Tell her. Tell Meige-sama that he loved her. "O-Meige-hime-sama "
"What is it Omega?" Meige asked placing Omega's head on her knees.
"I- I know I am a lowly servant " Omega continued to choke out. "But O-Meige-sama I " He wanted to tell her that he loved her. But he couldn't. He didn't have enough time. His eyes closed, and Omega vanished in a puff of smoke.
Raiga was powerful. He had killed Omega in an instant. Rouge couldn't believe it. She blinked back tears as she looked where his body had been. He had been really nice, protecting her sisters and her from Raiga. He had been really nice to Yusuke-kun.
"Enough of this," Raiga said. "Omega was a fool. He actually thought he could defeat me."
Rouge watched as Meige stood up from where Omega had died, several feet from Raiga.
"I won't let you take my sister," Meige said.
Rouge felt her sister's warmth leave her side as Kaige moved forward to stand next to Meige.
"You killed our mother and our father," Kaige said as she walked forward. "I will make you pay."
At that remark Raiga burst out laughing.
He's laughing?" Rouge thought angrily. How can he be laughing at a threat?
"Princess Kaige, Meige, if you stand back, I will let you live," Raiga replied.
"We will never do that, Raiga," Kaige replied.
"Alright then," Raiga replied. "I will fight you right now, and you will lose. It's a pity you two will have to die for my daughter's sake."
Daughter? Rouge thought.
"Did he just say daughter?" Kaige asked Meige.
"Yeah," Meige replied.
"Since when did that bastard Raiga have a child?" Kaige wondered, scratching her head.
"I'm not sure," Meige replied again. "But he could have had one and didn't tell out father. Or even come to Earth and had one with an Earthling."
"My brother did know about my daughter," Raiga replied to the sisters, "Well, actually I should say, He knew her personally. Not that she was my child."
"You dare to call our father your brother after everything you have done?" Kaige seethed.
"Of course," Raiga replied, a smile on his lips. "I was doing Oniisan a favor by overthrowing his rule. He wasn't fit to rule the Underworld. It was my birthright. Not your father's.
"How dare you say that," Kaige shouted. Then, turning to Meige, she continued "Let's do it."
"Hai!" Meige agreed.
"Spirits who rule the darkness," Kaige began. "Lost souls wandering against God's light, if you wish to release your power, follow us!"
"Come to us and rend asunder the evil spirit," Meige continued. "Guide us to the land of shining light!"
"Glacier Thunder Drive!" They cried out together as they launched their combined attack at Raiga.
The attack hit Raiga's armor dead on, but he barely flinched. Kaige and Meige gasped in amazement.
"He- He's not even damaged?" Kaige asked.
"This armor has protected me well," Raiga said, laughing at Kaige and Meige's bewilderment. "You are not going to be able to win that easily."
"Knave Drive!" He cried out as he launched a huge amount of power at Kaige and Meige.
Just in time, Kaige and Meige managed to duck out of the way, by dodging to the left and the right, respectively.
However, that was exactly what Raiga was waiting for as he disappeared in a swirl of yellow smoke before reappearing next to Princess Rouge. Before anyone knew what had happened, they were gone.
"Rouge!" Yusuke cried out as he jumped away from the house and ran to where Rouge had just been. "Rouge! Where are you?"
"Rouge," Kaige whispered, holding back tears. Than, in a louder voice she continued, "Meige, we have to go get her."
"Yes," Meige agreed.
"I'm coming with you," Yusuke spoke up from behind them.
"No, you can't," Kaige replied. "A human like you can't do any good in the Underworld. And you'd be of no use against Raiga. You'd only get in the way."
"I'm coming," Yusuke replied firmly. "I won't let you go without me."
Kaige was about to speak out again, when she felt her sister's arm on her. "Kaige, let him come."
She glanced at Meige, than back at Yusuke. "Fine, you can come."
"Thank you, Kaige," Yusuke replied.
"I guess Yusuke isn't coming into school today," Koine said, staring at Yusuke's empty desk. "I wonder if he's sick?"
"Suzumaru-kun," The teacher called out, walking over to her desk. "Are you listening? Suzumaru-kun?"
"Eh?" Koine said, turning her attention away from the desk to her teacher. "Gomen nasi, sensei."
"Be sure to pay attention," The teacher said as he walked back to the front of the room. This will be on the test next week."
"Hai," Koine replied.
"I finally have you," Raiga laughed at Rouge as she lay in the cell that Sagan had previously been in before Raiga had killed him. "Now, all I need is to get the Key to the Seal of Gaia within you, and I will be Invincible!"
"Yusuke-kun will come for me!" Rouge cried out. "He won't leave me!"
"Oh, yes that human," Raiga responded. "How grotesque. Imagine My daughter, having an affair with an Earthling."
"Y- Your Daughter?" Rouge gasped. "M- Me? I'm your daughter?"

One of the many interesting topics discussed was the importance of "touch" in treatment. In some quarters physiotherapy seems to be less about hands-on treatment now and more about a ship 'em in- ship 'em out approach, with a one size fits all approach for exercises. Not getting hands on often seems to be the norm and so the skills of feeling with our hands is being lost.
Thank goodness that our physios do not subscribe to this approach but really value the power of "touch".
Tell me what you think!

Now that Christmas has past, I am on to planning our New Year's Eve party. This year it is going to be Japanese themed- sushi, Japanese style oysters, tempura, etc. We have done something similar in the past but I have made some changes. Below are pictures from the last Asian themed dinner party...
The changes-
1) I was recently inspired during a lunch at a local sushi restaurant, to make my own wood sushi boards. Using wood scraps from our home renovations I managed to make 2 large size boards. They are still not complete or I would post a picture- I am in the middle of oiling the boards.
2) Stu received a beautiful Japanese tea set as a gift a few years ago and it is going to be a part of our dinner this year.
3) I bought some new white soup bowls (the kind with the built-in chopstick resting hole) and small white sauce bowls.

Are They Like Heathens ?
Are They Like Heathens ?
They have rings in their cheek,rings that look so dumb,
There are rings in their tummy,and rings in their thumb.
They're giving Satan a leash through a ring in the nose,
And he will pull them in his steps wherever he goes.
Who ever thought our offspring could be so unwise
To view life on earth as through the devil's eyes?
It seems that the whole world is now full of disgrace,
They mock at morality and they laugh in God's Face.
Jesus ,can we do anything to let them know we care,
Is it too late for all of them now in such dark despair?
Don't they know God can see each and every one,
Don't they know God's eyes view all they have done?
Can you just picture The Lord with a ring in His Face?
The Jesus that we know would be so out of place .
Are they like the heathen with all of their body paint?
Could anyone tell they could someday be a saint?
Could any of you say this could be me this very day
If someone had not taken time to teach you to pray.
We never know if kind words would touch a needy heart.
We never know when looking if a life is falling apart.
The heathen isn't God's but they could be if they tried,
They don't seem to care for Jesus that for us He died.
OhGod, stir their hearts and remove all sin and hate,
Somehow bring them now to Jesus before it is too late!
Clara Kish
As you can see this was written quite a few
years ago and I never felt it was time to
put it on here, every once in a while I would
come across it and just lay it aside ,but the
Lord had not forgotten it ,I guess He thinks
now is the time , This was not written for
anybody in particular it was just one of
these things that come in your mind when
you read this don't think I had anyone in
mind back then,I didn't, but The Lord
knew what would be happening in the
near future.
Oh very many of them
thank you
HI Clara
Always a reason for all. God brought you here at the perfect time.
Have a good night
God bless
Hello Clara,
God's agenda for us is very simple. Come into intimate relationship with him (that is, get to know Him, have a personal relationship) and Take the gospel, the good news out to others.
Everything else is of Satan and His temptations are way too many to mention.
Thank you for finally making this poem publicly. As you said, it happens in God's time. Amen
Hi MS Clara ,how you I missed you! so glad to see you still writing .
yep they dont believe, and are ungrateful
God says "if you have lots I will give you more, if you have none I will take from you even what you already have"
Poor God, I feel sorry for all those mockers, how can anyone mock God after what he did and created them all with arms/legs/feet/hands and laugh at others. I have had people do things to me and they dont know me from a hole in the ground.
God bless you
Its so neat the way God knows all even years ago, wow
Trust me this is for someone or some people and I know. Time is here and the world is going to know very soon.
This sentence stands out for me the most
Is it too late for all of them now in such dark despair?
God has given me the number 9 and the words "its time" over and over along with visions for myself and sounded the trumpet in my dream
thanks Clara
God is a bit angered right now
Have a good night
I totally understand your point. This information provided can easily be discerned by mature Christians. I do not believe the (my) younger generation will understand. I am glad you put it out there.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a narrowing of the blood vessels that bring blood to the legs and feet. It can occur when cholesterol and other fatty material (plaque) build-up on the walls of your arteries.
PAD is mostly seen in people above 65 years of age. Diabetes, smoking, and high blood pressure increase the risk of PAD.
The two main symptoms of PAD are pain at rest and cramps in the legs mostly during physical activities (intermittent claudication).
Managing the risk factors can reduce the risk of further cardiovascular damage. Treatment mainly includes medicines and rehabilitation. In severe case, surgery may also be done.
Walking Improves Blood Flow
A regular walking program will improve blood flow as new, small blood vessels form. The walking program is mainly as follows:
- Warm up by walking at a pace that does not cause your normal leg symptoms.
- Then walk to the point of mild-to-moderate pain or discomfort.
- Rest until the pain goes away, then try walking again.
Your goal over time is to be able to walk 30 to 60 minutes. Always talk with your health care provider before you start an exercise program. Call your provider right away if you have any of these symptoms during or after exercise:
- Chest pain
- Breathing problems
- Dizziness
- An uneven heart rate
Make simple changes to add walking to your day.
- At work, try taking the stairs instead of the elevator, take a 5-minute walk break every hour, or add a 10- to 20-minute walk during lunch.
- Try parking at the far end of the parking lot, or even down the street. Even better, try walking to the store.
- If you ride the bus, get off the bus 1 stop before your normal stop and walk the rest of the way.
Lifestyle Changes
Stop smoking. Smoking narrows your arteries and increases the risk of blood clots forming. Other things you can do to stay as healthy as possible are to:
- Make sure your blood pressure is well-controlled.
- Reduce your weight, if you are overweight.
- Eat a low-cholesterol and low-fat diet.
- Test your blood sugar if you have diabetes, and keep it under control.
Take Care of Your Feet
Check your feet every day. Inspect the tops, sides, soles, heels, and between your toes. If you have vision problems, ask someone to check your feet for you. Look for:
- Dry and cracked skin
- Blisters or sores
- Bruises or cuts
- Redness, warmth, or tenderness
- Firm or hard spots
Call your provider right way about any foot problems. DO NOT try to treat them yourself first.
What Else?
If you are taking medicines for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes, take them as prescribed.
Your provider may prescribe the following medicines to control your peripheral artery disease:
- Aspirin or a medicine called clopidogrel (Plavix), which keeps your blood from forming clots
- Cilostazol, a medicine that widens (dilates) the blood vessels
DO NOT stop taking these medicines without first talking with your provider.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your provider if you have:
- A leg or foot that is cool to the touch, pale, blue, or numb
- Chest pain or shortness of breath when you have leg pain
- Leg pain that does not go away, even when you are not walking or moving (called rest pain)
- Legs that are red, hot, or swollen
- New sores on your legs or feet
- Signs of infection (fever, sweats, red and painful skin, general ill feeling)
- Sores that do not heal
Alternative Names
Peripheral vascular disease - self-care; Intermittent claudication - self-care

J'adore j'adore j'adore.
Vivian Swift is a woman after my own heart. I love her story, I love her blog and I love her book: When Wanderers Cease to Roam: a Traveler's Journal of Staying Put.
Just last night I was lamenting the lack of imagination and creativity in so many travel books I see. This is the very beautiful, original kind of thing I love to discover. Swift is also unique in illustrating and praising the beauty and adventure of staying in one place. You don't have to travel very far to arrive at some amazing places within yourself; there's wonder in your home and just outside your window.
It might be some time before I settle down but, when I do, this is the kind of book I dream of creating. Of course, I can't draw or needlepoint… hmm, guess I have some daydream details to iron out first!
Vivian is at Broadway Books in Portland, Tuesday 24th May at 7pm.

After doubling import duty and restricting domestic sales of sugar, the next measure lined up by the government is the abolition of 20% export duty on the sweetener to help mills realise better price. The food ministry is considering a proposal to remove the export duty so that any surplus sugar from the country can be shipped out easily. The commerce ministry scrapped minimum export price on onion, which was imposed to restrict shipments from the country, just a day after finance minister Arun Jaitley in his Budget speech announced liberalisation of agri export policy. "Sugar production is estimated to rise nearly 24.9 million tonne in 2017-18 season (October-September) from 20.2 million tonne in the previous year," Union food minister Ram Vilas Paswan said on Friday. Since the current year's production estimate was arrived at after taking views of state governments before sugarcane crushing began, another assement will be made later this month, he added.
The Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) has revised upwards its current year production estimate to 26.1 million tonne from previous forecast of 25.1 million tonne in view of higher actual output, so far. India's annual consumption is pegged at 24-25 million tonne. Paswan said the government has already doubled the import duty to 100% to check cheaper imports from Pakistan. There has also been quantitative restriction imposed on mills for domestic sales during February-March. Industry bodies ISMA and National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories (NFCSF) had last month sought hike in sugar import duty from 50% to 100% and scrapping of export duty of 20% to liquidate surplus stock.

The splash of colors on autumn leaves is one the most beautiful images in nature. It can also leave parents fumbling for a response when children ask, "why do leaves change color?". You think it has something to do with shorter days and cooler weather, but maybe you're not exactly sure.
So, why do leaves change their hue? Scientists have been studying this issue for a long time and it seems that three factors affect autumn colors: leaf pigments, length of night and weather.
A pigment is a natural substance that produces color in plants and animals. There are three pigments present in leaves that play a part in autumn color changes.
The color change is primarily driven by the calendar—that is the increasing length of night in late summer and early autumn. As daytime grows shorter, chlorophyll production slows down and eventually stops. The carotenoids and anthocyanins that are present in the leaves are then unmasked and show their colors.
Temperature and moisture can affect which colors appear and the brilliance of the display. For example, lots of warm, sunny days and cool nights in early autumn can bring about the most spectacular array. These conditions lead to the production of anthocyanin pigments, which create more red and purple leaves.
Moisture in the soil plays a part as well. Drought conditions in summer can delay the onset of the leaf changes as well as the mix of colors. Typically, it's a combination of weather conditions that has the biggest impact, making each autumn display different.
Individual tree species tend to display certain colors, according to the U.S. Forest Service. Here are some well-known examples:
Sadly, leaves from some species, such as elms, simply shrivel up and fall to the ground. They show little color other than a drab brown.
Like people, tree species often run on their own schedule. Sourwoods in southern forests become very colorful in late summer when other trees are still sporting green. Oaks on the other hand, are still showing off their colors long after other species have shed their leaves.
So there you go. The next time some child asks you why leaves change color, just come back to this article and you'll have the answer!

String + Bottle + Lighter = Drinkable Water
MacGyver Style DIY Tip - video powered by Metacafe
Sure, it's not the best-tasting water you'll ever have but - if you're lost, dehydrated and have an empty bottle handy - it'll do in a pinch. All you'll need are the above instruments and a puddle of water: get some water, start a small fire and hold the bottle over the flame to bring it to a boil. Once that's done, let it cool and take a swig of perfectly drinkable water (a nice variant, and more accurate/user-friendly version, of a tip we highlighted several weeks ago). Thanks Keith Hanshaw!

One of the more humbling and inspiring artist lectures I've seen while here at UNR! Zoe Bray's empathetic intentions and altruistic beliefs as an artist are definitely something worth everyone's consideration...they fall much in line with the concepts expressed in the text we were introduced to last semester, The Re-enchantment of Art by Suzi Gablik. What I appreciate most about Zoe Bray's work is her interest in the personality and demeanor of individual in she is representing, which is an interest that takes precedence over her concern for the quality or look of her final painting. In other words, although she is obviously technically skilled at painting, she expresses less concern for her mastery and more concern for appropriately representing the inner personalities of her subjects through portraiture.
She spoke of the intimacy experienced between her and her subjects (resulting in the tile of her exhibiton: Intimacy), which results from her own personal interest in anthropology and ethnography, as well as from the time spent with her subjects while she paints them. I appreciated seeing a show of portraiture in the Sheppard Contemporary, as I believe portraiture is overlooked in art and not as currently appreciated as it should be, stemming from the belief that it may be an age-old, worn-out genre in art. Yet, facial expressions and body language are a language we all speak (in the words of my teacher Clayton Keyes), and it is, and always will be, a valid and hopefully limitless genre in art.
Questions for Zoe would be, How do you choose your subjects? and What's next?

Today we celebrated Brad's Dad's birthday. We all went bowling to celebrate. Sam had never bowled before, but he liked it!
What a fun hair blower!
The bowling alley had toddler size shoes that fit Sam and a ramp for the little ones to use while bowling.
Hanna watching the bowlers.
We had a fun time bowling. We'll have to take Sam back again soon!

If you broke the 1st or the 2nd string...
This is a great option to buy a single plain string for not to break the whole six string set if the 1st or 2nd string is occasionally broken!

Great to be able to buy individual strings.
I like the sound of flatwounds on my Gretsch, but I don't know of any flatwounds with a plain 3rd string. At .99 a string, I can afford to replace the wound 3rd string with a plain one.

Cause I break a lot of E strings
Like the title says, I have a heavy right hand when I play, and I tend to break E-strings. I hate breaking up sets for one string, so I need to have singles around as well. I like that these are individually sealed to protect them from corrosion.

yeah...its a string...in the gauge I wanted...
I don't generally use D'Addarios on my electrics becuase I don't prefer their wound strings and I use pure nickel, but when I need just a plain string, these fit the bill nicely.

Boston native Isaac Akiba, who grew up in the Jamaica Plain section of the city, was introduced to ballet in 1998 through Boston Ballet's Citydance program at 9 years old. After 10 weeks of classes, he was asked to join the Boston Ballet School where he studied for the next nine years. He studied under Sydney Leonard, Franco Devita, and Dierdre Miles-Burger. Other teachers who were important to his development were Kathleen Mitchell, Parren Ballard, Celia Marina, Jacqueline Cronsberg, Edward Ellison, Dean Vollick, and Bonnie Mathis. In 2007, Akiba became a member of Boston Ballet II. After two years, he joined the corps de ballet of the main Company. In 2012 he was promoted to second soloist, and in 2014 to soloist.
Akiba has danced many roles during his five years as a member of the Company, highlighted in the classical repertoire by the Cavalier in The Nutcracker, the male lead in Harald Lander's Études, Pas de Trois in Mikko Nissinen's Swan Lake and the Golden Idol in Florence Clerc's La Bayadère.

He also danced in the role of a sailor in Jerome Robbins' Fancy Free. In the contemporary oeuvre Akiba has performed in William Forsythes's The Second Detail, Jorma Elo's Plan to B, Slice to Sharp and Double Evil. He has also danced roles in Jiří Kylián's Wings of Wax and Tar and Feathers.
As a Boston Ballet School trainee, Akiba received the Harry Wilcott Scholarship based on his commitment and perseverance as a dancer. In 2006, he participated in the first International Beijing Competition, and in 2007 he was awarded a silver medal at the World Ballet Competition in Orlando, Florida.
Akiba has appeared as a guest artist with Toronto International Ballet Theatre in Canada, American Academy of Ballet in Buffalo, New York, and in the World Ballet Competition's annual All Stars of Dance Gala in Orlando, Florida.

One woman's journey to getting healthy through diet, lifestyle, and traditional western medicine. Come along with me as I discover gluten free eating, terrible doctors, and stupid ass comments about how good I look even though I "say" I feel bad.

Have I become a stalker?
I came across this wonderful man's story because he was kind enough to follow my blog. I was excited to see a 3rd follower and his name Hypo Man, let me know that he wasn't on my blog for the food tips, but was a fellow sufferer. I was expecting a blog of medical jargon, symptoms, and post of self-acceptance. What I actually found was humor, honesty, and enlightenment.
His honesty touched me in ways that I can't express and I am forever thankful because I am not very honest most times about how I feel. I don't often think that others care. I feel like they get tired of hearing me complain about how bad I feel. When I am sick, I crawl into my cave (my home) and shut everyone out. But, why? Why am I unable to share my feelings? Why do I sometimes resent those who have read my blog. I started this blog to share and hopefully help someone who is suffering like me, but instead I have sugar-coated things and edited myself because I don't want to be seen as weak.
Maybe it's the Soldier in me that doesn't want to show weakness. Maybe it's the hurt little girl inside of me that I am protecting. Maybe fully accepting that this part of my life sucks is too hard to handle. Whatever it is, I'm stopping it right now. I will no longer hide how I feel and I will write for myself and others like me.
I am a married women, but I am in love with Hypo Man. I am officially his number one fan. I sincerely hope he gets the help he needs. No, I sincerely hope that he is listened to one of these days he goes in to see his doctors. He's suffered too long. Does it make me a stalker if I care so much about him and I've never met him and have only seen him through one video? I tell all of my friends that not many stars make my scream list. (The scream list is for people I would actually scream for if I ever met them) My list consists of Beyonce(don't ask), Oprah, Nelson Mandela, and now Hypo Man.
My sincerest thanks to this man.
Also, why do any of us have to suffer. Why is that so many of us have received inferior care? I firmly believe I have had thyroid issues since I was 9 years old. The signs were there, but no one bother to do the testing and I just learned to live with symptoms until I got this lump on my thyroid. When lumps/nodules start to pop up, that usually a sign that your body has been fighting for a while. Why, if I am the 5th generation in my family to have a thyroid disease, didn't any doctor test my thyroid levels? Shouldn't that be standard procedure if I tell the doctor that my mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great grandmother (I just found this out) have had either Graves or Hypothyroid disease. It's ridiculous! If it sounds like crap to you too, then please visit the Patients with Thyroid Dysfunction Demand Better Care facebook page and sign the petition, PLEASE!

I am having trouble finding the words to express how wonderful your post has made me feel... thank you, THANK YOU.
Also, my total respect to you for reading my whole blog in a day! Have you recovered from the ordeal yet? *winks*
I hid a little behind the anonymity of my blog to start with, but the longer I go on my old real world friends from 10+ years ago still show no sign of being interested in my battle for wellness. But I have discovered a group of people online with a shared empathy and I am trying to embrace it.
Making it onto your "scream list" is so touching... I'll give you a heads up... the long hair has gone and I finally got 'round to getting glasses... so more like Clark Kent now!
I look forward to following your journey as you are so graciously following mine...
...my very best wishes to you and your family, Robert.
Thank you, Andrea for writing this. I loved reading your perspective and I, too, enjoy Robert's banter and wittiness :-) I am also new to this journey and I can feel change in the wind.ReplyDelete
Those who came before us have pave the way to this moment. The moment where each of us can do something small by signing and sharing this petition, and together, we can create large-scale change. The Butterfly Effect... ironic isn't it? Thank you for your part in our journey <3

At this time of the year, the aromas that float throughout the house are so delightful. Especially when the kitchen is filled with cookies and baked goodies. It is a whimsical scent that reminds of childhood. As I remince back to when I was a young girl, I can remember my mom's kitchen all prepared and ready to bake. I think of the sweet molasses, cinnamon, and all the ingredients we would need to bake, our cookies and cakes. My mom had an alumium pan that was in the shape of a gingerbread man, and we would bake a gingerbread cake in it every year. Then after the cake was cooled she would take out the tubes of icing and we would begin to decorate the gingerbread man.
I remember putting the eyes and mouth on with white icing and making a bow tie with the red icing. We always used raisins for the buttons and made sure that we made cuffs for the shoes and hands. Then as I grew up we would make gingerbread men with cookie cutters. We still used the icing in the tubes and would proceed to decorate them as well. I still can see the cheerful faces on the gingerbread cookies that we made in years past as well as my mom's face when she would watch me put the smile on the my gingerbread cookie.
Gingerbread dates back to the 15th century, and biscuit making was practiced in the 16th century. The first documented instance of figure-shaped gingerbread biscuits appearing was in the court of Elizabeth I of England. She had gingerbread figures made and presented them in the likeness of some of her important guests. Recently in Madison, Wisconsin, USA, they had a potential record setting gingerbread man put on display. It was unveiled the world's largest gingerbread man. It stood 26 feet and 2 inches tall, although its weight is unknown.
DAY 8, "Gingerbread Man Cookies"
3/4 cup-firmly packed Light or Dark Brown Sugar
1/2 cup-un-salted butter, softened
1/4 cup-molasses
3 1/4 cups-all purpose flour
2 teaspoons-ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons-baking soda
1/2 teaspoon-each; allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt
Sugar icing (Recipe Below)
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease cookie sheets.
Beat sugar and butter in large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs and molasses. Stir together remaining ingredients in medium bowl. Gradually add to sugar mixture until well blended. Refrigerate dough 1 hour or until easy to handle.
On well-floured surface, roll out half of dough at a time to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes. Place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes. Cool on rack. Decorate with sugar icing as desired. Makes about 24 (5 inch) cookies.
Sugar Icing:
Combine 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and food coloring if desired.
Quick Tip:
To make Cookie Ornamnets, bake cookies as directed. Just after the cookies are baked, use a small straw to create a hole at the top of the cookie. Leave 1/2 inch space from the top of the cookie. It is important to cut out holes while the cookies are still warm. Decorate as desired. Once dry, thread a thin ribbon through the hole to hang as an ornament.
Till Next Time……..

Labyrinth at St. Barnabas Church in Bay Village an answer to prayer
Christians have been walking labyrinths as a spiritual practice for hundreds of years. The use of labyrinths has waned at times, but has been growing in the United States over the last 50 years.
For the past three years the people at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Bay Village have had the dream that they would be able to build a labyrinth some day. In the summer of 2014, the church developed a Prayer Walk around the building, a white stone path for prayer and meditation. As that path was being completed, a stranger stopped by the church and asked if there was going to be a labyrinth and was told that there was a dream of a labyrinth, but that it would likely be several years before dream became a reality. A few days later the stranger returned with a generous donation and said, "Maybe 'some day' can come sooner than you thought."
The labyrinth at St. Barnabas, masterfully crafted by Byron Shutt of Maple Leaf Landscaping, is located outdoors, on the east side of the building, along the Prayer Path. Its size and pattern are adapted from the design of an early 13th century labyrinth in the cathedral at Chartres, France. It will welcome quiet, prayerful visitors at any time during daylight hours.
St. Barnabas will be offering programs to teach about the spiritual practice of walking a labyrinth. The first program will be on Saturday, June 6, from 10 a.m. until noon. This class is open to the public.
While a labyrinth looks very much like a maze, its purpose is quite different. A maze is a puzzle, usually with tricks or dead ends; a labyrinth is a continuous path that leads to the center and then leads back out. There are no tricks, no dead ends. The intent is that those following the path inward are moving closer to God at the center and then returning to the world to do God's work.
Landscaping, artwork and signage are still being developed, but those wanting to walk this sacred path are welcome now.
Sarah Shofstall
Priest at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church at the corner of Bradley and Wolf Roads in Bay Village.

Hi. Today we had a great morning here (no rain, blue sky, 35ºC) and I drove to a national park close-by, to find some birds. Here are some shots. Thanks for viewing/commenting. Kindest regards...
#1 - Frigate bird
#2 - A vulture
#3 - Frigate
#4 - Chalk-browed Mockingbird - Besides not allowing desirable approach, it almost always stays in the middle of branches to get shelter
#5 - Another frigate
#6 - An owl - Unfortunately too far from my 300mm. This was the tighter crop I could handle, with reasonable details
#7 - A view of the place

Rewritten Speech 2.4
School. School shapes how the next generation thinks and act. That is its purpose. Students spend thirty hours a week repeating the same routine, listening to the same teachers in the same classrooms with the same people. They spend more time at school than they spend doing anything else. This makes school the most important part of a young person's life, a part that shapes the decisions and actions they make as adults. Adolescents are constantly told by adults that they are the future, that their decisions will make or break the world, but there is hypocrisy in the fact that the system that educates them and leads them to make these decisions is not changing with the times. The current New Zealand school system is no longer relevant or effective, and there are many improvements that can be made. In making these improvements inspiration can be drawn from one of the most successful education systems in the world, Finland. A school environment that better reflects the modern workplace, shorter school days and less emphasis on homework are all attributes of the Finnish school system that New Zealand would benefit hugely from.
NZ's current school system is outdated. It was created hundreds of years ago to prepare working class citizens for traditional professions. Students would leave school to work at an office or a factory, hence the rows of desks, the all-knowing leader at the front, and the bleak, boring buildings, colors, and routine, but the workplace has changed. The world is now in need of people who can think creatively, innovatively, critically, independently. People with these traits will be the future leaders of the world, therefore their education and the development of these skills should be an absolute priority, and the current system doesn't provide this. Too often students are entering the workforce feeling unprepared; the skills they are taught in school do not match those that are required in the workforce. For example, students are rarely required to work with people with whom they have nothing in common, a skill which is crucial in almost any workplace. This contrasts hugely with the Finnish system. Finnish classes focus on collaboration, communication, and relational skills. Students are set both group and individual tasks that involve up to 3 subjects – mathematics and sciences are used in geography projects, for example, meaning they feel like they are learning skills that actually have an application in the real world. This is a perfect example of teaching tasks that prepare students for the modern workplace, something which would be hugely beneficial in the New Zealand system.
The stem of many issues with New Zealand's schooling system is that it assumes that more is always better; everything can be solved with more homework, longer days, more pressure, more testing. But all this does is create more stressed out students, more burnt out, tired teachers, more frustration, and eventually defeatism and lack of motivation. Large classes and therefore low teacher-to-student ratios mean that students are easily distracted and feel they are not getting the assistance they need. The school day is long and the routine mundane, resulting in boredom and lack of motivation. Students have nothing to look forward to as most of their day is spent either at school or studying after. In interviewing students who have missed significant amounts of contact school time, they report that when it comes to keeping up to with school, less is more. When more work is completed, more time can be spent doing other things, therefore academic motivation increases hugely. When returning to the rigidity of a six-hour school day, however, distraction, boredom, and lack of motivation become the norm. Achieving complete focus is much more challenging simply because there is no extrinsic motivation to complete work. The majority of the day is spent at school, followed by a seemingly immense amount of homework left because class time is not spent working efficiently. School takes the same amount of time no matter how well or hard the students work, so there is no motivation to work efficiently. In contrast to this, Finland has made huge steps in increasing results with the general idea of less being more. Finnish students have only three to four classes a day and their classes are smaller; with smaller classes and therefore more one-on-one tutoring time with teachers, students are more focused and much more efficient. As found with students who spend time away, they work harder in the knowledge that they have a long afternoon to do whatever they please to look forward to. This is exactly what the current New Zealand system lacks, and something we could learn from in attempting to make a change.
Another attribute of the Finnish system, one that is envied by students around the world, is that homework is not believed to be necessary. Finnish students have the least homework in the developed world, yet they have some of the highest average grades in the world. This seems illogical however it works. This system is functional because of trust. The teachers trust the students to work hard in class for the sake of learning. The students trust the teachers to be competent and teach them the right content. Society trusts the system in place to do its job and they give education the respect it deserves. It is not a complicated idea, but it works, and I believe it would work in New Zealand. Currently, because of the aforementioned reasons surrounding motivation, the New Zealand System is mistrustful of its students. Students are unmotivated during school time and teachers cannot trust them to complete assignments and remain focused, therefore teachers believe the solution is to give them time at home to complete work. However, instead of giving them an advantage, this extra work strips students' opportunity to rest their mind and focus on other areas of their busy lives. According to Teen Help, a mental health organization focusing on teens, 78% of students globally feel stress and anxiety as a direct result of pressure from school work. As a country with the highest youth suicide rate in the developed world, New Zealand should be focusing on managing all causes of anxiety and stress, including schoolwork, as this area is clearly an issue. Because of homework, teens allow stress as a result of school to impact their life outside of school whereas less homework would allow them to leave this stress in the classroom. Reducing or eliminating homework in the current curriculum would not only help hugely with our appalling statistics in the areas of teen mental health but, as with shortening the school day, it would increase students' motivation by giving them a stress-free extra-curricular life to look forward to after school.
The unavoidable problem in making a system based on trust work in New Zealand is that we are very different countries. Students here are unmotivated, so how could they be trusted to work hard? However a change of system would bring a change of culture; If students felt like what we were being taught was applicable in the real world, if they had reduced classes and could stay attentive because they were motivated by more free time, and if they didn't have as much pressure on homework they would be more willing to apply themselves. I believe that a revision of the New Zealand school curriculum with the incorporation of these ideas would lead to not only a generation that is more prepared for life as adults but a generation that is more motivated and less stressed.
