The concluding section on Education in Restoring America One County at a Time:
Chapter 1: Education
1.3 How to Get It Back
When we talk about restoring freedom, we have to be careful not to be too romantic about the past. It is one thing to survey how things used to be free, and lessons we learn there we can certainly apply to modern times; it is another thing, however, to think that the goal is to return everything to the state it was in back in 1776. We can't return to that world, socially, technologically, culturally, geographically, demographically, economically. But there are certainly, as I said, many ideals we can take from then and restore for today. After all, ideals such as liberty and neighborliness do not change; the highest morals and ethics of Christianity do not change; the ideals of life, liberty, and property do not to change. The ideals don't change: rather, it is how committed we are to the ideals that makes changes in society.
So how do we restore the ideal of individual and economic freedom in education? Obviously, you're not going to change the whole system overnight; so you commit yourself to do what you can do personally, and then begin to model for and persuade others. The first step can be stated simply, and for many can be performed tomorrow if they are willing: don't accept the apparent benefit that comes with government control. Don't want the trap? Don't take the cheese. Put bluntly, pull your children out of public school.
You may think this does not need to be the first priority; you may think that education is one area we can leave alone for the time being while we fix the really big problems over in Washington. But this mentality has been in play for well over a century, and it's a myth—it's totally backwards. If you can't rein-in the socialism in your own county, and your family's complicity in it, you don't have a chance at changing anything greater. And even if you did, it wouldn't matter socially, because you would still be doing it yourself.
Why do I say this is the one area you can take control of now; the first point at which you must start; the one area in which you can have the greatest impact right now? Here's why: In later talks we're going to cover things like the role of the Supreme Court, the Federal Reserve, the Constitution—you can't change these things. You don't have any control over what currency you use, unless of course you live in a very tightly controlled community that relies purely on barter (nota bene: not even the Amish do this). You have absolutely no power to change those things, and very little in the way of alternatives. For all practical purposes, you're stuck with tyranny in these areas (although, not to be completely pessimistic, we will discuss things we can do, and the type of future and steps toward which we can work). In things going on at the federal level, the best you can do in many cases is cast your vote—one vote among a hundred million—about like thinking you're going to stop a tsunami with a sandcastle. Here, however, in the area of education, you can take nearly complete control right here, right now. No election required, no legislation required, no vote required, no amendment to the Constitution required; you don't have to hire a lawyer, call your Congressman, nothing. There are no legal, social, or economic barriers preventing you from being free in this area. It is purely, 100%, a lifestyle decision.
And that is why I say, if we don't reassert liberty here first, we won't really do it anywhere else. Because if we're not willing to make changes when and where we can, then we certainly won't do it where it's unlikely. If we're not willing to make the sacrifices in lifestyle necessary in order to take personal responsibility here, where it's perfectly legal and able to be done, then pretending anything beyond that is absolute parade of showmanship. In such a case, here's what we're doing: we're devoting tons of time and effort, and maybe even money, to things that can only have marginal effects at best, and yet neglecting the one thing that can have major effects, only because it will cost us the devotion of a little extra time and effort and money. We'll spend countless hours and energy going to political campaigns, rallies, speeches, waving flags and signs, passing out buttons and bumper stickers, watching the news every night to see what politician on what side said what; posting video clips of news reports and interviews on YouTube and Facebook, adding commentary; saying things like "We need more guys like this"; "I wish this guy was president"; or on the converse advancing whichever of countless criticisms we could choose from. Why do we react this way to a society that's not free, instead of concentrating our time and energy on exercising that freedom where we're already perfectly free to do so to begin with? It speaks volumes as to why we're in the shape we're in: we've taken the benefit. We take the easy way out—the path of least resistance. And our attempts to regain freedom reflect this very complacency: it's easy to mount a bumper sticker, to attend a rally, to get in a group and shout at the marble façade of a building that houses corrupt politicians. It's easy to click on an internet link, and share it on Facebook. It's easy. We do what's easy.
But homeschool child? Private school a child? We've got a thousand reasons why we wouldn't, shouldn't, couldn't do such a thing. And I'm telling you, that in all but a small minority of cases, those thousand reasons are all excuses.
Educational Choices: A Few Scenarios
But we have to work hard for liberty and make the efforts that we can. All government must begin with self-government. And the moment you believe it's legitimate to use law to govern someone else so as to benefit yourself, you have sown the seed of the destruction of both Christianity and liberty. And it just so happens that the easy way out means just that: destruction of both Christianity and liberty. We have to reassert individual responsibility where we can. And you can. If ever there were an area of life in which people today need to hear the mantra "Yes we can," it's in the area of reasserting individual liberty in education.
So what does this mean on a personal level? It will depend on your personal family situation, and it will depend on what alternative to government schools you choose. I personally favor homeschooling for a variety of reasons; but you may decide private schooling is better for you and your children. Fine. The purpose in either decision is to reassert individual control, which means individual liberty, and to begin the end of civil government domination of education, end civil government coercion, and in fact, all educational coercion in which someone forces someone else to do it their way. So let's consider a few case examples:
In an ideal scenario, there is a traditional family in which the husband works and the wife is able to stay home and school the children. In a traditional family setting like this, if children are currently in government schools, the only changes that need to be made are very minor, especially if the decision is to switch to a private school. Here the only changes are logistical: deciding what school, enrolling, and going; and the greatest burden would be paying tuition, which would mean revising the budget. Even a homeschooling scenario is easy, however, and cheaper: the mother (or in some cases, perhaps the father) who stays home, simply needs to get encouraged and equipped to start homeschooling. The encouragement can be found in many churches, support groups, co-ops, and other organizations devoted to home education. And the same people and institutions can direct you to a million curriculum and teaching resources, and American Vision sells a few as well. All it takes to find plenty of both of these things are a few internet searches. In this case, there is no reason not to do so. For Christians it could be argued persuasively that it's sinful not to do so.
But this traditional family scenario clearly is not the majority of cases today. Most traditional-like families are today two-income families, and the children, if not at public school, are often in day care. In these cases, the decision whether to private school or home school will mean a greater revising of the budget. Private school will require tuition, and homeschooling will require either hiring a private nanny/tutor, or more commonly, one of the parents staying home. But a parent staying home means at least a reduction to part-time salary for that parent, and more likely forfeiture of that second income completely. I have to tell you that this is the most common resistance I hear in regard to homeschooling. Because they always say that they family needs all of both incomes in order to pay the bills. I have to be honest: while I suspect that is probably sometime the case, I am skeptical that it's truly as frequent as I hear it. In most of the cases of this I have encountered, the two-income dependent family has a large suburban home and comfortable lifestyle to match. If families require two incomes in order to maintain this, and this makes government taxation for child care and education necessary, then don't we need to start asking question about lifestyle? In this scenario, the taxation is not so much subsidizing education as subsidizing their comfortable lifestyle, cable TV, etc. And is it really the case that the total of both incomes are necessary to pay the necessary living expenses—house payments, utility bills, insurance, etc. I don't know; in some cases yes that's probably true, but in others, is it not the case that some cutbacks here and there, sacrifices in lifestyle, tightening the budget a little across the board may just be the right to do for the cause of freedom? What is the price of freedom, after all? Is the price of freedom that we live at the extremity of our means, while passing off the fundamental aspects of life like education to be funded by other people through taxation? And even in a case where a two-income family honestly requires the fullness of both incomes in order to make "ends meet," should not there be some soul searching into the way such a lifestyle is funded and the taxation on which it depends? And should there not also be a question about living beyond our means at the expense of other people? Is that moral and right? Is that freedom?
And then there are the actually difficult cases: single parent families. How in the world can we expect a single parent to work and provide for the necessities of life, and at the same time homeschool? And how can we expect a single mom to be able to afford to pay for private schooling? I don't think the latter issue is as difficult as the home school issue. A single mom is really not much different than any other one-income household paying tuition at a private school. And in these cases, many churches which have private schools will give discounts to church members. At any rate, many private school tuitions are not that much higher than day care rates. But the single mom home school dilemma is definitely difficult. Yet even here, depending on State requirements, nothing says you have to home-school during the day. You can find the required number of hours in the afternoon and evening. And I personally know at least one business-class working mom who has successfully home-schooled a child into their teenage years. So I know it can be done.
The only real question here is the same question at the root of all these cases: What lifestyle changes are you willing to make in order to restore freedom in this area? What sacrifice are you willing to make to restore freedom?
Steps to Restoring Educational Freedom
So here are a few practical steps: First, educate yourself. Educate yourself as to the processes of beginning and managing your decision (whether homeschool or private). Really, the easiest to way for a beginner to learn is to Google something like, "How do I get started homsechooling?" and add to this the name of your state, for example, "Georgia" (because every state has slightly different laws). You will be able to choose from an endless list of helpful sites, the top few probably being the most popular organizations in your state: for this example, one is the Georgia Home Educators Association. Study especially the relevant laws for compulsory attendance, reporting, etc., and find out exactly how to initiate your home school legally (if necessary) and what is required of you beyond that. Then see what resources are available for curriculum in all price ranges, read reviews, talk online and in person with people who know, and make an educated decision.
Second, write the letters, order the necessary books, and start the process. Here's one tip: don't jump at first into one of those thousand-dollar all-in-one curriculum packs, because if you get half way through and don't like it, or find something better for much less, you will have wasted your money. Most people I know prefer to design their own curriculum piece by piece.
Also, get some books for yourself: learn how to become more than just a housewife going through the motions (which could be the case); learn how to become an effective communicator and a good teacher, planner, organizer, scholar yourself. Improve yourself as much as you do your child.
So educate yourself, make the investment, and then start doing it. Jump in and start. That's more important than trying to get everything perfect and then start, because then you'll never start. You'll make mistakes, but you'll learn, and the child will learn—and you'll both be better for it. There will always be more to learn down the road, no matter how good you are.
In addition to taking back individual and family control to the extent that we can already, we should educate ourselves in regard to the larger picture. There could certainly be further political goals at which to aim, beginning at the local level: the ultimate goal should be to abolish all public taxation and funding for schools in general—get the civil government completely out of the market of education. But a mediate step in the meantime would be perhaps a law that exempts anyone from property tax who is private schooling or homeschooling their children. No one should be taxed to pay for other people's educations, but especially people who already pay such high personal costs to take care of their own should not have to bear the added costs of others on top of that: as it currently stands, these people are bearing what is essentially double the tax burden.
Not only would this be economically fair for those who already pay for their own, but this fairness in itself would become an incentive for more people to pull out of public school, and for more people to become private tutors, teachers, and create more private schools. When more and more property owners realize that they could afford a more than adequate home school curriculum for way less than the price of their property taxes, they would certainly want to move in that direction (not to mention the further benefits of home schooling, by the way). And if more people moved into the private school market, not only would options increase in that market, but a range of levels of affordability would arise in order to serve those who wished to afford more or less tuition. And depending on your status and property, when the market reaches an equilibrium not distorted by the State's virtual monopoly on education, you would soon be able to afford yearly tuition at one of many private schools easily for the amount of your property tax saved—and that's considering an average middle-class property owner. This is probably true for many people already depending on the person and the school.
If the essential monopoly of government over education is broken, a free market in education—considering today's technology and vast information resources—would produce options that we probably can't even imagine currently. Charitable organizations even could start schools that surpassed public schools in capability and efficiency, and serve even the poorest of the poor, and do so in a way superior to the one-size-fits-all model of government education today.
We should also, if we were to consider the political side, look further into revenues. We have just discussed personal exemptions which make perfect sense. But we are doing this project in the context of County Rights, restoring the County as the fundamental unit of government in America. And the sovereignty of county administration is compromised to the extent that it accepts funding from the State level and the Federal level—these, always coming with mandates, regulations, and other strings attached. In order truly to reassert local district control (which is the basis, after all, behind most people claiming, "our schools are different"), the source of funding must remain always and only local (or private organizations with private contracts disclosed to all comers). The truth is that nationwide, most local school districts receive about half of their funding from their states, about another 10% from the Feds, and only the remaining 40% from local taxes. Of course, all of this is a tax bill picked up by taxpayers, but when higher and higher levels of government are in control, the revenues get homogenized and then reapportioned more equally than they were collected. In other words, it's one more deceptive way to redistribute wealth. Local districts should reassert local control, and could do so by refusing to accept the handouts; of course, this would take pressure from the community on the school board, and again, a willingness on the part of all involved to sacrifice and make due with the limitations of their own means. But this should be done; and it should come in addition to local, state, and federal exemptions for anyone not directly using the system, but homeschooling or private schooling.
The goal is to exercise what freedom we can in the area of education; and in doing so, create a movement that will make it socially viable to free up education completely. This, I realize, is not a walk in the park; but it is the easiest thing we can do right now in the effort to restore America. It is sitting there right in front of us waiting to be done. All it takes is a little commitment and a little sacrifice.
What are you willing to sacrifice? What do you consider important: freedom, integrity, honesty? Can these be compromised for the cause of convenience and comfort? Should they be? That's the question at the root of Restoring America One County at a Time, and it begins with the issue of education. If we can't take action here, you can forget the rest.

Daniel Dennett and Adam Gopnik come to the Free Library
Daniel Dennett and Adam Gopnik come to the Free Library
My conversation with Daniel C. Dennett — if one can call this awkward jumble of ill-formed questions hurled at the renowned philosopher a real conversation — has reached an impasse.
Dennett, an erudite thinker who has used his expertise in cognitive science and evolutionary biology to revolutionize how we think about how humans think, is telling me I don't exist.
Or so it seems to me, a person rather anxious about his existential status.
Dennett, 74, a prolific author whose books are devoured by academics and laypeople alike, will be at the Free Library of Philadelphia on Thursday to discuss his latest book, From Bacteria to Bach and Back: The Evolution of Minds. Dennett will discuss his work with New Yorker staff writer Adam Gopnik, before opening the discussion to audience questions.
A hefty 496-page masterwork, From Bacteria to Bach and Back combines two strands of Dennett's researches: his evolutionary theory of the rise of human consciousness, and his equally Darwinian take on how cultural ideas — or "memes," as Dennett calls them — evolve in society through a cultural form of natural selection.
Dennett has been writing about his theory of consciousness for several decades, most famously in 1991's Consciousness Explained, a blockbuster hit — at least in the worlds of philosophy and cognitive science. Here is a TED talk by Dennett on "The Illusion of Consciousness":
His theory of memes, a term coined by biologist Richard Dawkins, is more recent. And it is far more controversial, said Gopnik, whose books include Angels and Ages, a meditation on Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln. "Dennett sees a continuum from the way bacteria developed eventually into people and the way great human inventions" also evolved, from the simplest cultural artifacts to complex masterpieces such as Bach's music, he said.
"Most people coming from the humanities," Gopnik said, "would question using an evolutionary model for culture the way Dennett does."
You are not you
So what's this business about the self not being real?
A thoroughly naturalistic thinker whose work is deeply influenced by Darwin, Dennett doesn't think there's a me (or a you, for that matter) that stands apart from my actual thoughts.
Let me get this straight: Even though humans have self-consciousness, the ability to think about our own thinking, we have no real selves?
"Well, who is this you who thinks? Is it something independent of the brain or the body?" Dennett said in a recent phone chat from his office at Tufts University outside Boston, where he has taught since 1971. "It's not independent. It is the brain and body. That's what you are. You're a living human being, and there's no little pearl of magic stuff inside you which is the true you."
Dennett defines the function of consciousness on an evolutionary continuum from the simplest to the most complex.
Most neural activity has little to do with comprehension or self-reflection. It's automatic, preconscious, and concerned with the daily routine of living. "I call it 'competence without comprehension,' " Dennett said. "Say, the way that animals are able to ignore their own shadow so it doesn't startle or scare them. In general, they come equipped or competent to subtract their own limbs and tails and paws from the ongoing scene of their activity."
Dennett maintains that the sheer complexity of mental activity in humans and our growing acquisition of competencies, including language use, eventually led to the ability to comprehend, think, and reflect. Nothing has changed in the nature of neural activity.
Yet that's when we begin imagining there's someone there outside the flow who does the comprehending. "I like to put it this way," said Gopnik, whose memoir At the Stranger's Gate is due in the fall. "Dennett doesn't believe consciousness is the ghost in the machine. He believes that consciousness is the hum of the machinery."
That hum is an after-effect of neural activity, but it's mistaken for its cause, said Dennett, who believes one of our most enduring illusions is the belief that we can see causation. "You can't actually see causation. There's nothing to see," he said. Our notion of cause and effect is upside down, he said, a projection of our need to interpret the world according to our own desires.
"To put it in simple terms: We don't like honey because it's sweet," said Dennett. "We call it sweet because we like it, because the glucose molecules — which aren't sweet or sour — interact with our nervous system … and we get the message, 'I want that!' "
Dennett's conclusion: "The mind is the effect, not the cause."

Genesis 1:1-10 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was[a] on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
God created dark, then He made light. He created land, then He made sea. He created wet, then He made dry.
If God can create a problem, he can create a solution. Yet, we (people) are good at creating problems, but can not, always, create a solution. This is ONE reason why I do not have 100% faith in myself, but I do have 100% faith in God. Many times, people's faith stop when they see someone else getting healed, or blessed, when they are not. Even when they are 'taking-it-easy' while that someone else is taking risks to change their situation. (Similar to the story about the ant working to store food for the winter while the grasshopper just relaxes.) But, we are all blessed. Think of all the blessings that you have and are receiving. So, why worry about the number of blessings that someone else is, or is not, receiving?
Matthew 25:14,15 14 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.
If you decide not to go to God for the solutions to your problems, fine. You have all your life to find the solutions. Do not confuse facts with truths. Older solutions do not necessarily mean better solutions. As long as you are alive, it is possible to get healed, or blessed. But, when you die, time's up and the clock is ticking. Unlearn.

Oak Cliff has seen a transformation in recent times with the addition of the Bishop Arts district, some updating of local landmarks, very good restaurants and the place where I get my hair did, Solstice Salon.
Yep, old Vern gives a fair cut at a fair price, but ask yourself, "Am I Worth It?"
The answer is 'yes my friend you are worth it.'
Solstice has a relaxed and chic atmosphere. It's an experience for all the senses to enjoy. I usually stumble in before lunch and grab a cup of their fresh coffee then relax into a therapeutic shampoo with hot towels and aromatherapy before my haircut. Owner Frank Solis and his sister Marisa have years of experience in the DFW area and Frank's wife Amy is in charge of (amazing) facial treatments.
My awakening doesn't end there, oh no, after all I am in "The Cliff," I might as well enjoy it and I do...
Now it's time to head over to Bolsa for some lunch. There aren't many lunches in Dallas under ten dollars; at Bolsa you get the freshest, local ingredients prepared to perfection and presented like a 5 star meal. As if this wasn't enough they also boast a mixology bar with some of the best cocktails in the city. $10 M-F lunch special and $5 mixology drinks.
I had the BLT with pickled onions and arugula, butternut squash soup, and an
Agua Miel
Ambhar Reposado Infused w/Chamomile,
Lime, Raw Honey Syrup
Total lunch $15 plus tip.*salute twice*
You can't hardly get thru the line at McDonanlds for 15 bucks. At Bolsa they exceed my expectations every time.
Seriously, it's such a hidden jewel I hate to even share it with you.
Finally, some shopping to top off the afternoon. Not Target or Northpark. No, you needs something unique. Something a little artsy fartsy. Bishop Arts is the district for you, homeboy.
Take a stroll down the old school streets, do a little window shopping and be sure to poke your head in Artisans Collective. Where local artists display their original works for your perusal. Make a purchase, support a local artist and walk away with a one of a kind gift. (literally)
In order to maintain a level head, metrosexual status and feed the soul... take a 'man appreciation day' in Oak Cliff.
Sometimes you just have to treat yourself...
You're so money you don't even know it.

natural dying round two: sumac
5 comments:
- karyn said...
what an awesome brown shade you got! i haven't tried sumac to dye yet, but now i want to!
- August 19, 2010 at 9:22 PM
- Kate Hunter said...
thanks karyn! give it a try, its fun. but again, watch out for gross bugs.
- August 21, 2010 at 10:22 AM
- Melanie said...
Kate, how does the colour stay? have you washed it yet? Do you need to do anything special to set the colour?!
I am really interested in trying this. It has been something I've been wanting to do for a while!
- September 8, 2010 at 6:58 PM
- Kate Hunter said...
I used alum as a mordant and it produced the brown colour I got. I washed it after dying it, and the colour stayed. I suggest reading "Indigo Madder and Marigold" by Trudy Van Stralen. In it, she says that for sumac you actually don't even need a mordant since it has acidic properties which set the colour itself. But adding mordants can intensify the colour and improve fastness. I think the colour I got from the sumac would have been a softer beige if I hadn't used the alum. Also, if you use iron as a mordant with sumac you can get a gorgeous soft grey colour. I think you can make your own iron mordant by using rusty/non-rusty nails at some point in the process (I'd google that).
Hope that helps! I think the picklebee society was contemplating having a natural dye day at some point, possibly the end of September. That would be fun!

Thanks Kate. I really am interested. I'd be up for a natural dye day. Lets do it. Jesse's parents live on a big farm, so I am sure we could find some things to use....

Sheffield Wednesday FC - England World Cup poster launch
The third England World Cup poster launch at Hillsborough, Sheffield.
On the road again launching the SRtRC England World Cup poster in all 2018 bid host cities and this time the city was Sheffield. Sheffield Wednesday FC have been chosen as the Sheffield's venue should England be successful in securing the World Cup in 2018.
Around 100 local school children attended the two hour event at Hillsborough. The SRtRC education team led a fantastic educational workshop; exploring stereotypes, defining racism, discussing racist language and celebrating multi-culturalism.
After this, the audience was very excited to meet current Owls player and Jamaican international, Jermaine Johnson. Jermaine joined the young people in watching the SRtRC DVD and then answered some of the young people's questions on racism. SRtRC coach and former Middlesborough and Crystal Palace player, Dean Gordon, and SRtRC Community Education Worker, Lizz Bennett also gave their answers to some very challenging questions from the audience. Prizes were awarded to the best 3 questions.
Everyone who attended received a SRtRC goody bag, signed Sheffield Wednesday poster and a copy of the England World Cup poster.
Many thanks to Owls Manager and SRtRC patron, Alan Irvine and Chairman Lee Strafford for their support and particular thanks to Spencer Taylor and Steve Taylor for their help in organising such a successful day.
Download your copy of the England World Cup poster, Sheffield Wednesday FC or any other poster on our website. Alternatively send a SAE to: PO Box 141, Whitley Bay, Tyne & Wear, NE26 3YH and we'll send you a copy.

Recommended Nomenclature Instructions to Authors
Below is the information we would suggest you include in the "Instructions to Authors" section of your journal:
Authors should use approved gene nomenclature where this is available.
For human genes, please use symbols approved by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC). HGNC nomenclature can be queried at http://www.genenames.org/tools/multi-symbol-checker. Approved human gene symbols should be obtained, prior to submission of your manuscript, from the HGNC via their website request form or by contacting the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC), European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridgeshire CB10 1SD, United Kingdom (e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com). Please note that all prepublication data will be treated confidentially if requested.
The species listed below all have gene nomenclature committees. Please use the nomenclature they have approved by searching for gene symbols at the following links:
Mouse: http://www.informatics.jax.org
Rat: http://rgd.mcw.edu
Chicken: http://birdgenenames.org/cgnc/
Xenopus: http://www.xenbase.org

"My wife and I spent two nights at the Cedar Rose Inn after our wedding night in Fargo. We expected to unwind, relax and destress from everything going on in our lives over the past few months and that is exactly what we got. Aggie and Florian (The Innkeepers), were very hospitable and welcoming. They made us feel right at home. The honeymoon suite was superb! My wife and I enjoyed the jacuzzi tub and sauna each night and were well rested after only 2 nights the the Inn. The breakfast was sensational! I have absolutely no negative comments for my stay at the Cedar Rose Inn. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to unwind, even if it's only for one night. My wife and I will definitely be visiting again!"

What is skin cyst surgery?
Skin cyst surgery is excision biopsy of the cyst, excision means removal of the cyst while biopsy means that a tissue sample of the cyst is tested to check if it is cancerous.
A total excision is an invasive procedure which removes the entire cyst and its contents, minimising any risk of the cyst returning.
Inflamed and infected cysts are usually first treated with antibiotics, or are drained. These methods treat the inflamed cyst, however, the cyst wall is left behind. It usually refills with time. Once the inflammation settles, your surgeon will perform complete removal to prevent the cyst from causing symptoms again.
Why undergo skin cyst surgery?
A sebaceous cyst usually does not disappear by itself, and surgery is the only way to remove it. Skin cyst surgery is the most effective option to treat cysts, for both medical and cosmetic reasons. It has the lowest rate of recurrence. Other methods such as drainage of the cyst often results in the cyst wall being left behind and it will refill again.
What to expect?
Before the procedure
- Shave hair and clean affected area.
- Fast as instructed by your doctor.
During the procedure
- You will be placed under local anaesthesia to numb your skin.
- Your surgeon will make a tiny cut in the skin and squeeze the cyst out.
- The resulting scar is usually small and aesthetically pleasing.
- Six to seven stitches will be in place.
- A bandaged is used to cover the wound.
- The operation is usually completed within 30 minutes.
After the procedure
- You may be able to go home on the day of the procedure.
- Pain is minimal and can be controlled with painkillers if you wish.
- Change your dressing daily.
- You may shower with your dressing on or without your dressing.
- Eat a diet high in fresh fruits, vegetables and other light foods.
- Avoid spicy food.
- Cut out alcohol.
- Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor within 1 to 2 weeks time.

Normally on a Friday the 13th or on Halloween I have a good day. Never been superstitious – but for some reason today just isn't cutting it. But maybe it's not really me, it's the other guy!!!
For starters I've been trying to cancel our Star Choice satellite, and I suppose I should have left that for a really good mood day. The first challenge is getting through. The second challenge is listening to Customer Relations try and talk you out of it and offer you some pretty sweet deals. Of course, they never offer you these deals when you first sign on. Plus where do these sudden "new" package deals come from?? After I finally did get through and talked to Customer Relations and they made us that new sweet deal, I told them that I had to talk it over with Nat and get back to them. So we went online to try and find this "Extra Value Package" they told us about, and naturally it's nowhere to be found on their web site. I guess they suddenly found this one in their back cupboard where they were saving it for a rainy day!!!! What I did manage to get written down wasn't exactly everything we wanted. There were an awful lot of channels we would never watch (eg Teletoons, Speed, Space, YTV, etc.) plus there were fewer channels than what we were getting now. Oh, and by the way, they were suddenly ready, willing and able to swap one of our receivers for a High Definition receiver. Normally they make you buy these suckers!! Another little diddy they were keeping in that back cupboard for a rainy day!!! As it turns out the "other guy" we've decided to switch to, will offer us High Definition, more channels and free hook-up for a little less than what we're getting with Star Choice now (and we don't have Hi-Def with them).
So now we're in the process of trying to call them back and actually cancel. Again, when I did get an operator on the line I was informed that they are having telephone problems and she'll have to email Customer Relations and have someone call us back. Do you think we're getting the cold shoulder???? I suppose in her defence, I did actually have trouble with the line when they called me back the first time around. I'm a determined bugger, however, and I'm going to get through come hell or high water. It's a challenge and a goal now!!!
As it was going to be another one of those "telephone" days, I decided to also arrange hook-up for our stove and dishwasher when they arrive. Thank God, that was simple!!
So while I'm in the hair-pulling mode, Nat is in the house packing dishes, small appliances and small kitchen stuff that won't be used from here on in. So we're now a couple of boxes closer to the finish line!! He's already made several trips to the Liquor Store for more boxes and to Staples for more bubble wrap and packing tape. We both admit after doing some packing that it can be frustrating. How do you keep the box from being too heavy, how do you fill some boxes with just "filler" and how do you try to keep most things together for certain rooms. At this point we'd both be happy if the bloody boxes would just fill themselves!!! The eternal optimist, however, keeps thinking, "Yes, but we're that much further ahead". I told Nat last night that this time next year we'll wonder what all the fuss was about. You should have seen the look I got!!!!! Sometimes just keeping your mouth shut is priceless.

LONDON (CBS.MW) -- Sony Corp. says it has no plans to sell its entertainment division, despite a report to the contrary in Tuesday's edition of The Financial Times.
The newspaper report says Sony SNE, +1.43% is considering selling part of its entertainment operations as part of efforts to improve shareholder value, according to Reuters.
But the news agency subsequently quoted an unidentified Sony spokesperson: "As President (Nobuyuki) Idei and other executives have repeatedly said, Sony has no plans to sell the entertainment division."
The Financial Times repot quoted finance director Tamotsu Iba as saying nothing had been decided yet, but that "our target must be to maximise shareholder value."
"There are many ways to manifest the value of the entertainment business...We have gone through the options with our bankers and these range from an IPO to selling the business to putting it in a joint venture," he said.
"The problem is that although we have many foreign shareholders, we continue to be rated in Japan as an electronics group rather than a content company," he said.
The FT report said executives indicated that the biggest concern was the pictures division, not the music business, and that the most likely route was a joint venture.
But it said chairman and chief executive Norio Ohga, who was responsible for the $3.4 billion acquisition of Columbia Pictures in 1989, "seems emotionally attached to the business."
The pictures division, which made "Mask of Zorro" and has a television library that includes "Seinfeld," had operating profits of 37.4 billion yen ($303.7 million) in the year to March on sales of 540 billion.

Editor Frank Scott (FS) from DesignPRWire has interviewed designer Blenheim Design Ltd (BDL) for A' Design Award and Competition. You can access the full profile of Blenheim Design Ltd by clicking here.
Interview with Blenheim Design Ltd at Tuesday 16th of May 2017
FS: Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
BDL: It was completely accidental. I always enjoyed creating objects out of everyday, mundane items. I use to melt plastic ends of the lollipop and make them into buttons. Results were not always good but it made me experiment with the materials. I wasn't sure which aspect of design I should choose so I did product design as well as material studies which progressed to Interior Architecture. I felt totally comfortable designing commercial spaces.
FS: Can you tell us more about your company / design studio?
BDL: Our design studio is filled with books and samples. We enjoy exploring new materials and testing the latest products. We are all technically minded and we make a good team. Studio is an open space on the first floor opposite Brighton Pavilion. We share building with other creative agencies and University of Brighton lecturers. My desk overlooks the garden at the back and sometime I get birds landing on the window before they go for a bird bath and feed in the garden below.
FS: What is "design" for you?
BDL: To me design is beauty in functionality. Beauty on its own is pointless. Good design has to be tactile, beautiful to look at and functional above all.
FS: What kinds of works do you like designing most?
BDL: I like helping people achieve the most with what they have. If we can see potential we will most likely take the project on. Some projects have vast budget whilst some are struggling to purchase second hand furniture, yet both are challenging in different ways. If we get exited about the project we'll go for it.
FS: What was the first thing you designed for a company?
BDL: The first thing I designed under Blenheim Design was a bar area in Bertorelli's restaurant. It was a massive thing for me as the restaurant was featured in the film Sliding Doors. Bar and restaurant are no longer there but every time I go through that part of London I like to have a look and see how the space is evolving.
FS: When do you feel the most creative?
BDL: Most creative time is when I'm exited about the project.
FS: What kind of emotions do you feel when you design?
BDL: That is a very probing question. I guess it is like a love affair; exiting, exhilarating, frustrating, compromising but satisfying.
FS: What kind of emotions do you feel when your designs are realized?
BDL: Mixed emotions! I am glad that the project is alive, I have to confess that large part of me feels sad. It is not in my hands any more and it has to stand on its own two feet. I guess that is how parents feel when children move out.
FS: Where does the design inspiration for your works come from? How do you feed your creativity? What are your sources of inspirations?
BDL: Look, feel, experience! Experience tough me that research and experimentation are crucial in design. Inspiration can come from anywhere, it can be a magazine, sound of the cup and saucer, leather strap on a beautiful handbag or a boat clasp. Keep on looking.
FS: Where do you live? Do you feel the cultural heritage of your country affects your designs? What are the pros and cons during designing as a result of living in your country?
BDL: I was born in Yugoslavia which ceased to exist twenty years ago. I live in England, one of the most liberal countries in the world and Brighton is very eccentric as well as fun. Design is there to be enjoyed by many, in my field research is important. History, community, spacial context and culture are all equally important, my background is not.
FS: Could you please share some pearls of wisdom for young designers? What are your suggestions to young, up and coming designers?
BDL: Always consider the end user and never underestimate the power of lighting. Understand your clients requirements and never stop working hard.
FS: What is your "golden rule" in design?
BDL: Restaurant design should reflect menu on offer.
FS: Designing can sometimes be a really time consuming task, how do you manage your time?
BDL: In hospitality design, timing is of essence. It is like a well executed dish, all ingredients have to come together at the precise time. Being disciplined helps but that comes with experience. I like to use intuition and to follow my instincts which sometimes results in working late to make sure project process is not jeopardized.
FS: Who are some of your clients?
BDL: My clients are always people I'd love to have as a friend. It is a long process and we have to get on. Most of my clients come from hospitality world.
FS: What type of design work do you enjoy the most and why?
BDL: At the moment it is restaurants and I loved designing them for the past 19 years. I enjoy improving end users experience. I love facing the blank page and the freedom that represents.
FS: What are your future plans? What is next for you?
BDL: More restaurants and retail spaces. I like improving places and I've had the misfortune to visit couple of residential homes which were tepid and uninspiring. I'd like to improve them.
FS: Do you work as a team, or do you develop your designs yourself?
BDL: I prefer to work in a team where we can bounce ideas and inspire each other.

Hello again!
This week a friend let me know about a baby shower happening for soon-to-be mom who is struggling. I decided to contribute a blanket, and thought it would be fun to try out a new pattern and share it!
I have a stash of pastel yarns I bought to make some things for spring craft shows, so I used all of them in the blanket. I mixed two different brands of worsted weight yarn: Red Heart Super Saver and Big Twist, which is the store brand from Joann Fabrics. The finished blanket measures approximately 31″ by 40″ including the border, and the colors and amounts are as follows:
- 1 (and then a tiny ball extra from a second skein) skein of Red Heart Super Saver in white
- 1 skein of Red Heart Super Saver in Baby Pink
- 1 skein of Big Twist in Buttercup
- 1 skein of Big Twist in Light Teal
- 1 skein of Red Heart Super Saver in Light Blue
- 1 skein of Red Heart Super Saver in Orchid
I took this picture after I finished the blanket, so I didn't have a full skein of the Orchid to include.
I used a 5 mm hook (or H if you prefer). I found a neat stitch in an old book of crochet stitches called leaf stitch that created a really nice texture without a lot of holes. It's perfect for a baby blanket!
Row 1: Beginning with the Baby Pink yarn, chain 140. 2 sc in 2nd chain from hook. *Skip 1 chain, 2 sc in next.* Repeat between * to end. (140 sc)
Row 2: Turn, ch 1. Skip the first sc and put 2 sc in the next sc. *Skip next sc, 2 sc in next.* Repeat between * to end. (140 sc)
Rows 3 – 178: Repeat row 2. Finish off and weave in ends.
Each block of color is ten rows, and each strip of white is 2 rows. So you start with ten rows of pink, followed by two rows of white, followed by ten rows of yellow, followed by two rows of white, followed by ten rows of green, followed by two rows of white, followed by ten rows of blue, followed by two rows of white, followed by ten rows of purple, and repeat two more times. DO NOT add two rows of white after the final purple block.
For the border, I was attempting to reproduce the look and feel of the edge of my sister's baby blanket. It wasn't crocheted, but it had a definite shell look as well as being slightly ruffly. So my border is a slightly ruffled shell.
Border row 1: Join white with a sl st to any sc in final row. Sc evenly around, but put 3 sc into each corner so it lies flat. Everyone's tension and spacing is slightly different up the sides, but try to make sure you get the same number for both of the long sides.
Border row 2: Join to first sc with a sl st. *Sc in first stitch. Skip one sc, 5 dc in next. Skip one sc, sc in next.* Repeat between * around. Join to first sc with a sl st, fasten off and weave in ends.
Aaaaand that's it!! There's my pattern for a pastel rainbow baby blanket. I like to make baby blankets a bit large so they'll last a few years past infancy.
Red Heart Super Saver yarn often feels like it might be too rough and scratchy for a baby blanket, but this is actually fixed fairly easily. Once you have the blanket finished, run it through the washer at least twice, with a generous helping of fabric softener each time. I personally prefer Downy, but I imagine any brand will work. DO NOT put it in a dryer though, too much heat will melt the yarn and make it crunchy. Air dry it instead. After this process, the blanket will be so soft you won't believe the difference, and more than suitable for a baby.

For me, reading has never been an isolated activity. I have always associated a book with the external material circumstances linked with reading - the cover of the book, how I got the book (hours of rummaging through a library or a specific bookstore or gifted by a friend), outside weather, and my disposition as a reader at a given time and stage in my life.
Now, with a Kindle, there is no cover, no physical "form", no old pages, no more hunting through libraries (just search title on amazon and download with one click),
I sometimes grieve for the loss of material aspect of the book. Earlier, when I read paper books, each one had a separate physical identity with a different jacket, size, weight, each having a different odour and procuring a "physical" life of its own in my bookshelf (Samuel Beckett's "Molloy, Malone Dies, Unnamable" soaked in rain and then dried in sun, some pages of Othello's Arden edition smeared with my pink skin allergy...). It was not easy carrying Musil's The Man Without Qualities".
Now, on a Kindle everything is black and white, and customisable - font, spacing, pagination. To my annoyance, some books no longer retain their original author-intended page format and space appropriation vis-a-vis the written text. Where would we fit some of the works of Perec here, all the ambivalence between subjective and objective space?
Yet, I cannot complain. At least, an e-reader like Kindle allows me to "read" again despite low vision. And I shouldn't complain about physical form so much because I cannot read print anyways :P
I sometimes use text-to-speech option on Kindle for non-fiction books when I want to read in bus or in public. Partly to avoid reading in a moving bus or to avoid other people peaking into the page contents or sometimes to avoid a situation when strangers tell me that I shouldn't hold a book so close to my eyes. The narrator in Kindle's text-to-speech utility often ends up skipping essential pauses leading to misinterpretation and confusion. In comparison ZoomText narrator is much advanced. Although, I still find narrator or audio books too intrusive for a solitary activity (reading).
I am also these days a bit annoyed with my brain processing everything wrongly due to limited visual picture that it receives. I misread a lot without knowing that I'm misreading.
How do you manage prolonged reading with low vision? Do you have better solutions?
