Researchers said Wednesday for the first time they have found what they believe to be pieces of a burial shroud from the time of Jesus. The find is of importance because tests on the shroud and the body it wrapped revealed the earliest proven case of leprosy in the Old City of Jerusalem.
[Shimon] Gibson, the excavation director, said the remains of the man covered in the cloth consisted of different wrappings for the body and the head, which was consistent with burial practices of the era. He also said research had shown that the weave of the cloth was a simple one, much different from the more complex Shroud of Turin's.
The first of their kind discovered in Jerusalem, the shroud fragments date from the same time of Christ's death, but are very different than the Shroud of Turin. One of the most controversial relics in Christendom, the Turin linen features an intricate twill weave. The newly found cloth is made up of a simpler two-way weave.
The original source for all of the media reporting on this find was a scientific article, “Molecular Exploration of the First-Century Tomb of the Shroud in Akeldama, Jerusalem,” in the journal PLoS ONE (off-site link). It said nothing about the Shroud of Turin; its focus was on the detection of leprosy and tuberculosis in the fibers from a shroud found in a sealed section of a Jerusalem tomb dated to the first century AD. Once the media got hold of the story and massaged it, though, it took on the tone of an indictment of all who dared consider the Shroud of Turin to be the genuine burial cloth of Christ. It claimed reputable British and Israeli archaeologists had shown that cloth with a complex herringbone weave like that of the Shroud was not in existence until medieval times.
One of the most controversial relics in Christendom, the Turin linen features an intricate twill weave. The newly found cloth is made up of a simpler two-way weave. Moreover, the Jerusalem garment is in two pieces—one for the head and one for the body—while the Turin shroud is a single piece of fabric. If the remains in the Jerusalem tomb represent typical burial shrouds widely used at the time of Jesus, this casts strong doubt that the Turin Shroud originated from Jesus-era Jerusalem [emphasis added].
Although the reporter was honest enough to include the emphasized “if” above, the anti-Shroud bias is obvious.
Since they acknowledged that there were atypical qualities about this tomb, it is hard to understand why the investigators would assume that other attributes of it—including the “simpler two-way weave” fabric of its shroud—had to represent typical Jewish custom of the time, and thereby call into question a first-century AD date for the Shroud of Turin. There were obviously other factors influencing them.
As is often the case, the above news was widely popularized in the secular media, while the other side of the story received scant notice. Just a few months later, Diana Fulbright decisively addressed the above anti-Shroud claims in a paper, “Akeldama repudiation of Turin Shroud omits evidence from the Judean Desert.” The paper, delivered at the International Workshop on the Scientific approach to the Acheiropoietos Images in May 2010 (off-site link), showed conclusively that ancient textile evidence from the Judean Desert and elsewhere proved that the herringbone twill pattern of the Shroud was known in the first century AD, rather than originating during medieval times. This paper also repudiated the frequently made allegation that the size of the Shroud is too large to have been produced on first-century looms.
In his presentation today [August 15, 2008] at The Ohio State University’s Blackwell Center, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) chemist, Robert Villarreal, disclosed startling new findings proving that the sample of material used in 1988 to Carbon-14 (C-14) date the Shroud of Turin, which categorized the cloth as a medieval fake, could not have been from the original linen cloth because it was cotton. According to Villarreal, who lead the LANL team working on the project, thread samples they examined from directly adjacent to the C-14 sampling area were “definitely not linen” and, instead, matched cotton. Villarreal pointed out that “the  age-dating process failed to recognize one of the first rules of analytical chemistry that any sample taken for characterization of an area or population must necessarily be representative of the whole. The part must be representative of the whole. Our analyses of the three thread samples taken from the Raes and C-14 sampling corner showed that this was not the case.” Villarreal also revealed that, during testing, one of the threads came apart in the middle forming two separate pieces. A surface resin, that may have been holding the two pieces together, fell off and was analyzed. Surprisingly, the two ends of the thread had different chemical compositions, lending credence to the theory that the threads were spliced together during a repair.
Yet another widely publicized allegation is that the image of an apparently scourged and crucified man faintly visible on the Shroud of Turin’s fibers is the work of a medieval painter, an unknown person with a genius at portraying human anatomy. Repeated efforts to find any paint pigments have shown absolutely none exist, however. The image, rather, has been shown to reside in a very superficial discoloration of the surface of the linen fibers by still-unknown means. Has this been reported in the popular media? Not to my knowledge.
Let us look in detail at these injuries. We would expect that, if the Shroud of Turin was truly the burial cloth of Jesus Christ, the injuries Scripture describes above would be reflected in the image on the Shroud. Do scientific studies show that to be the case?
In addition, later more detailed studies of the image by the Shroud of Turin Research Project of 1978 as well as other studies by scientists revealed apparent injuries to the shoulder area from abrasions caused by the rubbing of some heavy object (crossbeam?) tied to the subject’s outstretched arms; also damage to the left knee of the kind that would have occurred if a person fell with such a burden. Spillage of excess blood (group AB) [New York Times, 8/3/99] on the cloth from both the chest wound and the feet were noted of the kind that might have taken place if the body was laid in a prone position and covered. The marks on the scalp indicate a rough “cap” rather than the more traditional “crown” of thorns usually depicted in Middle Age and later paintings. The side wound matches exactly those of the Roman lance found in various excavations. A totally unexpected anomaly was the discovery of “three-dimensionality” in the image on the cloth when viewed through a VP8 analyzer of a sort never seen before on such material and which provided additional depth and detail (Wilson, The Mysterious Shroud, p. 47-49).
3. The 1988 radiocarbon dating, which supposedly proved the Shroud dated to medieval times, was a failure. Ray Rogers, a Los Alamos National Laboratory chemist, found that “the sample used for carbon dating was not representative of the cloth. It was chemically different.” Cotton was used in the repaired area.
4. There is real human blood on the Shroud. It has all of the chemical hallmarks of blood, including hemoglobin and serum albumin.
5. Particles of limestone dust chemically identical with that around Jerusalem have been detected. It has a rather unique mineral makeup.
6. Clear marks of scourging can be seen, with welts that match the shape of a Roman flagrum that was tipped with dumbbell-shaped metal bits.
There are other points that could be made, but there is less unanimity on them; these include the presence of pollen grains unique to the Jerusalem area, possible Roman coins of Jesus’ time placed over the eyes, and faint images that look like flowers known to grow near Jerusalem. But these additional facets, though intriguing, add nothing to the solid scientific case presented in the FAQ that there is a real human form on the Shroud of Turin, who was severely beaten and has wounds consistent with those the gospels tell us were suffered by Christ. The close correlation between the biblical data and the wounds clearly depicted on the Shroud image (bruises, “crown” of thorns, scourge marks, hand, foot and side wounds), together with the numbered points above, are sufficient to cause fair-minded people to tie them together.
With this organized approach we see that, in contrast to the synoptic gospels, most translations (including the KJV and NASB) of John’s gospel seem to give a different picture of how the body of Jesus was wrapped. Matthew, Mark and Luke say the body was wrapped in a single “σινδών”—a large linen sheet or garment. John, however, speaks of the wrapping being done with strips of cloth, accompanied by the spices. The first impression one gets from John is that something like an Egyptian mummy wrap was performed, and there is also mention of an additional linen “face-cloth” that the synoptics are silent on.
Let’s begin with the accounts of the three synoptic gospels where the terminology is simple and clear: Jesus’ body was “wrapped” (ἐνειλέω, ἐντυλίσσω) in a “large linen cloth” (σινδών) and then placed into the grave. The Greek is quite straightforward here and provides a clear picture of what occurred. The problem comes with the parallel account from John (John 19:39-40). If John is here describing just the same actions and materials as the synoptics (which seems to be the presumption of most translators) then there would be an apparent conflict—a tying or wrapping up in “ὀθόνια” (strips of linen). But, looking more closely, we note that John actually uses quite different terminology from the others. He uses “δέω” instead of one of the three Greek words used specifically for wrapping; the basic meaning of “δέω” is to “tie, bind.” He uses “ὀθόνια” and “κειρία”—“small linen strips,” “cords”—to describe the material used for such a tying here and in the similar account of Lazarus (John 11:44). It is quite a stretch to try make these come out the same as “σινδών”—“large linen cloth”—as in the first three gospels.
Perhaps the answer or solution to this apparent problem is that John, an eyewitness of these events, was not in fact speaking to exactly the same part of the burial activity as the other three writers who received their information second hand, but to a quite different aspect of the process of which he personally was aware and which is not that well known today. Taken literally, John appears to be saying that the body of Jesus was “tied with linen strips” (ὀθόνια) in connection with his burial. If we then use his account of the burial of Lazarus some chapters earlier to help with the interpretation of just what is meant (“the feet and hands bound with cords,” John 11:44) we would have to say this tying of Jesus also probably was applied to the hands and feet, not to the whole body. The Lazarus account goes on to say, “λύσατε—loose/untie him” (KJV); (not: “take off the grave clothes” - NIV) and let him depart.” Then the picture becomes clear and the items mentioned later in the gospels that were found by the first visitors to the grave, the linen strips and the folded cloth, can be put into better perspective. The gospels are not in conflict—no Scripture is. Rather, it is much more likely that our understanding of Jewish burial practices simply has not been that clear now after a span of almost 2000 years. And it may have been a preconception or simple misconception on the part of both early and later translators that attempted to force from John’s words a parallel meaning to the first three gospels in regard to the wrapping of Jesus, when in fact he was speaking to something quite different—a tying of the limbs to hold them in position at the time of burial due to rigor mortis rather than a separate wrapping or covering of the entire body with strips.
I think this explanation makes a great deal of sense, but there are additional factors leading me to believe it needs to be modified. Consider the need for the women to complete the burial preparations early on the first day of the week. Joseph and Nicodemus would doubtless have been aware of the women’s plans to return to the tomb after three days. Realizing they would need to UNWRAP the body in order to finish the preparations, it makes sense that the two men would have used small linen strips as ties to simply hold the shroud, with the hundred pounds of myrrh and aloes it contained, in place around the body—just to keep the main sindon cloth closed up and secure until it would be reopened to complete the preparations. It would have been quite awkward for the women to remove the linen from a body that had been wrapped in a circular fashion, like the archetypical Egyptian mummy. But if the preparations done by Joseph and Nicodemus constituted just a temporary measure performed in haste, it makes sense that the body would have been laid out and wrapped in the manner the Shroud image indicates. It would have been MUCH easier for the women to reopen the linen if it had simply been folded over the body and tied in place with separate linen strips. That way, they could have quickly removed the ties, lifted away the upper half of the shroud without disturbing the resting body, finished the preparations, and then rewrapped it according to proper Jewish custom.
And knowing men, can we realistically expect that Joseph and Nicodemus, apparently working alone, would have patiently covered the body of the Lord in a bunch of strips of spice-laden fabric, particularly with sundown coming rapidly?
To summarize this discussion, we need not insist on interpreting the difficult verses in John’s gospel in a manner that precludes accepting the Shroud of Turin as a genuine first-century burial shroud, when such a perfectly acceptable view as that laid out above is possible.
But the statement that this σουδάριον was “folded and set aside” would indicate a more likely possibility—that he is here pointing to a larger cloth, namely the same basic burial cloth (“σινδών”) that the other evangelists speak of, perhaps as a play on the word “sweat cloth” (this for the whole body, not just the face). That would be our preferred interpretation. It is also possible, of course, that there was in fact a true face cloth (“schweisztuch”—Luther) used for a brief time perhaps to help cover the head or face of our Lord while being taken on a carrier to the grave and then left there, with the main linen wrapping cloth later having been taken away from the grave by the time Peter arrived on Easter morning—but this is speculative [emphasis added].
Moreover, the Jerusalem garment is in two pieces—one for the head and one for the body—while the Turin shroud is a single piece of fabric.
In short: “the blood types match, the wound marks match, the facial features and measurements coincide…” (Mary Jo Anderson, “The Other Shroud of Christ,”). These coincidences indicate that, in all likelihood, the man whose head was wrapped by the Sudarium of Oviedo and the man whose corpse was wrapped in the Shroud of Turin were one and the same person.
For those who wish to study this further, John Long, who has several articles on the ABR website, informed me that the best book he knows about the Sudarium of Oveido is Janice Bennett’s Sacred Blood, Sacred Image. There is also a good website devoted to the Sudarium, http://www.linteum.com, though it is in Spanish only.
The bottom line here is that a sudarium which covered His head on the cross as He was being taken down, then was removed in the tomb to permit preliminary burial arrangements (and “rolled up in a place by itself,” as John 20:7 says), makes the most sense. This is the conclusion both Lemke and Long have arrived at, and is discussed in depth in Mark Guscin’s little book, The Oveido Cloth. Since Jewish practice called for items bearing the blood of the victim to be included in the burial, we can fully expect that the intention was to include the face-cloth within the shroud when the final preparations were performed.
Since a mummy-type wrapping pattern is an apparent implication of some English translations of John’s gospel, it occurred to me that a lexical study might also be helpful. Do lexical studies rule out the lengthwise wrapping seen in the Shroud of Turin? The standard Bauer-Arndt-Gingrich-Danker lexicon, A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature (second edition, 1979, p. 264) shows the term ἐνειλέω (eneileo) does not require us to understand whether the action of wrapping was done horizontally around the body (as an Egyptian mummy) or in the vertical plane of the body, end-over-end (as the Shroud image requires.) The word’s use derived from various Greek sources gives the meaning “wrap (up), confine in something.” One non-biblical instance given in the lexical notes refers to a child wrapped up in a lion-skin, another to being confined in chains. The essence of the word is that it signifies being within a covering of something. The focus is on WHAT is being wrapped onto the body, not the MANNER of the wrapping. In Mark 15:46, the WHAT is τῇ σινδόνι, “in the linen cloth,” with nothing implied about how the wrapping was done.
When we consider that a maker of a fraudulent Shroud would seek to eliminate as many barriers as possible to belief in its genuineness, the end-over-end wrapping the Turin Shroud image requires is not what one expects. That this is the case is, actually, a great evidence it is the real thing.
I’ve read so many descriptions of Jewish burial practices that I’m reluctant to say, “they always did it this way or that”...there are not enough burial clothing and shrouds preserved from ancient Israel to make a definitive comparison between an average burial with that suggested by the Shroud...Did most Jews simply dress the deceased in their “Sabbath best” or wrap them in some kind of shroud-like arrangement? Or did they sometimes do both? I’ve seen explanations for each, but I’m impressed by those researchers [cf. Lavoie, Unlocking the Secrets of the Shroud] who point to the Code of Jewish Law (16th century): a victim who died a violent death with blood flowing “should not be cleansed, but they should inter him in his garments and boots, but above his garments they should wrap a sheet which is called sovev (a white shroud),” a tradition that some Jewish scholars believe goes back to New Testament times—this indeed makes good sense for the Shroud burial.
One of the most relevant features of the Shroud is the absence of wool fibrils, which leads to the conclusion that the Sindonic fabric has been weaved using a loom subject to the laws of Jewish cleanliness, i.e. intended for weaving flax only, according to the prohibition of sha'atnez deriving from Dt 22:11 (explicitly forbidding to wear clothes with the illegal mixture of wool and linen). Since sha'atnez is an exclusively Jewish issue, alien to every other cultural milieu, its absence can be considered a strong evidence of the Jewish making of the Shroud of Turin's fabric (p. 2).
The Matthean notion of clean linen cloth expressed in Mt 27:59 (ἐν σινδόνι καθαρᾷ) ought to be therefore interpreted in a distinctive Jewish way, that is as ritual purity or cleanliness (absence of sha'atnez), as already suggested in previous papers: besides, it cannot be neglected the fact that such a detail is pointed out only in Matthew's Gospel, the one especially addressing the Judaeo-Christian nucleus of the primitive Church (pp. 2-3).
Beyond those and a few other particulars, Grossi agreed with Long, “the very few references contained in ancient literature, sometimes quoted as sources to study Jewish funerary customs, are actually very vague and don't give any solid contribution.” We will leave it at that.
For many, no doubt, Christians and non-Christians alike, it may be the most intriguing, and perhaps instructive, relic of all to have come down through the centuries. But Scripture and God’s record therein of this world’s history, and his plan for that world which is to come, a plan centered on the cross of Calvary, is of greater interest and of far greater significance to us. It is that which will be most on our minds and hearts when we see the Lord coming dressed in glory on the Final Day. It will not be the ancient piece of linen, special as it may have been, left behind in a borrowed tomb which bore the name of another, now almost 2000 years ago.

I’m appreciative that my friend Rick would seriously examine some Shroud literature I had suggested. It remains an interesting phenomenon that so many thoughtful observers are continually attracted to Shroud studies, especially after the apparent setback of the 1988 C14 dating. Rick wonders whether such authenticity-consistent facts as the lack of artists’ pigments in the image have been (adequately) reported in the popular media.
This touches upon an especially important point. Once one concludes that the Shroud likely is consistent with Scripture, where to begin a search of other categories of evidence? Answer: first go to science, especially physics and chemistry. I would strongly recommend an in-depth study of the foundational investigations by STURP (Shroud of Turin Research Project which flourished about 1975 to ‘85), published in the major, peer-reviewed scientific literature. This especially includes John Heller’s “A Chemical Investigation of the Shroud of Turin” in the Journal of the Canadian Society of Forensic Science 14, 3, 1981, pp. 81-103; Eric Jumper’s et al “A Comprehensive Examination of the Various Stains and Images on the Shroud of Turin” in ACS Advances in Chemistry No. 205 Archaeological Chemistry III of the American Chemical Society, 1984, pp. 447-76; and Larry Schwalbe’s and Raymond Rogers’ “Physics and Chemistry of the Shroud of Turin: A Summary of the 1978 Investigation” in Analytica Chimica Acta 135, 1982, pp. 3-49.
These papers can be found in many good university libraries. Their conclusions were that old (high primate) blood was embedded in the cloth, and that the body image was both dissimilar to any known artistic work and didn’t seem to be reproducible in all its characteristics. Unfortunately, most of these papers are not on-line (such as at Barrie Schwortz’s superb website http://www.shroud.com/papers.htm) and might be a little too technical in places, but the late John Heller’s entertaining Report on the Shroud of Turin (1983) has a very personable, down to earth description of STURP’s work; it is also a good place to learn who these scientists were and how they reached their conclusions. Stevenson’s and Habermas’ Verdict on the Shroud (1981) might still be the best Christian introduction to the Shroud.
Probably no single analysis of what STURP’s findings meant was more incisive than archaeologist William Meacham’s “The Authentication of the Turin Shroud: An Issue in Archaeological Epistemology” in Current Anthropology 24, June 1983, pp. 283-312 (http://www.shroud.com/meacham2.htm) – see especially other readers’ comments/criticisms and his replies recorded at the end. For a more recent accounting of the evidence including C14 issues, attorney Mark Antonacci’s Resurrection of the Shroud (1999) is packed with well-researched information. These three books are available on Amazon and E-Bay for $10 each (or less - book and shipping).
One final word about the Sudarium of Oviedo. In early June I’m sure many of us once again watched the WWII documentaries showing dead GIs lined up at the top of Omaha Beach. Noticeably, an empty cardboard box covered each head. Covering the face of a recently deceased’s face, especially one who just suffered serious trauma, is probably a long-standing tradition among many cultures. It seems very likely that before the first nail was removed, Christ’s face was wrapped out of respect.
Thank you for your review of an essay from 15 years back written at the request of a conference of WELS Lutherans when the subject of the Shroud of Turin was much in the air.
I unexpectedly came across your review when looking for any "new" information on this subject of late, as it happens to be kind of a hobby of mine at this stage.
It also brought me into my first contact with ABR, an organization I probably should have known about long ago since we appear to share a comparable approach to scriptural authority and its application to biblical-historical events, but of which I was unaware.
And thank you for the very positive, perhaps even complimentary, nature of your review.
I have no serious objection to most of what was said there, with one or two exceptions. Mostly on what appears to be a somewhat limited understanding of "sudarium" as utilized in scripture and elsewhere.
Sudarium, neither of itself or by its etymology, is directly connected with a "face cloth" in past usage that can be found (I and the head librarian at our WELS seminary in Mequon spent considerable time on this).
It appears to mean, simply and in reality, just a generic "piece of cloth" of any kind, the resultant translation for it dependent on context and the kind of use that cloth was put to. That's all.
Three different uses or contexts for it are to be found in scripture (Luke 19:20; Acts 19:12; and the two from John in connection with the burials of Lazarus and Jesus) - all different. Nowhere there or elsewhere is there an intrinsic face-connection to it, except that inferred from John stating this cloth went around / over the face / head of Jesus and Lazarus. A perfect description, by the way, of what the shroud accomplished when wrapped lengthwise over the body of Jesus by way of the head - which immediately makes the shroud the best understanding for the sudarium.
Since the only known practice of the Jews was to utilize just the two items that scripture also describes (see p. 8 of essay), a shroud and also ties mentioned for hands and feet (Lazarus), there is no need to insert the so-called Sudarium of Oviedo or any other into the narrative here as a significant item, and so make John in effect ignore the truly significant body shroud itself in translation. I was aware, of course, of the Oviedo piece of cloth when writing the essay, but left it out because of its relative insignificance.
Actually I have no problem with the Oviedo even as something perhaps temporarily placed on the Lord's face in the pre-burial process (I believe this was also mentioned somewhere in the essay) and maybe also left behind somewhere in the tomb - speculative. But I would object to it being given a priority explanation for the translation of John's sudarium in his gospel when there is no clear warrant for doing so - just the opposite. And when the other three gospels all refer to the true sindon or shroud as being present. John just uses a different term than they in this connection for his own reason.
That would be my major concern about your otherwise very positive and helpful comments. Thanks again.
The other, a minor point, had to do with speculation on ties perhaps being used to go around the shroud cloth and body prior to the women coming with additional prepared spices for the burial. This would be entirely speculative, and would get us away from the principle of "scripture interpreting scripture" and John informing us in connection with Lazarus exactly how ties were actually used on hands and feet in burial, not to tie up a shroud.
These then were the several items that brought questions to my mind upon reading your otherwise very good and favorable review. Thanks again!
We have subscribed to ABR now, and look forward to benefiting from past as well as future items found there.
With all the attention paid to it over the past half century, it will be interesting to see what else might still be out there in regard to shroud studies.

After proper bedding period and my initial test, it was time for proper Alpine test... and it didn't go well.
Jurid seems to not exist, no datasheets, no details. What I’ve found so far is that they are Garrett/Honeywell (known for turbochargers). I’m always sceptical about companies who tries to do all and nothing right.
Despite my scepticism, my reasoning was…Jurid is on TGV trains, it is cheap…why not to try. After my first test…well my estimate/judgement is based on years of failures, broken body parts, pain and racing or pushing hard various things with wheels…I had bad feeling.
Standard OEM VW brake pads (usually ATE) fade at about 250 deg C. Once, temperature reaches friction material capacity (at around 300deg C) it burns the pad and doesn’t brake anymore. If you don’t push it too hard, it can be cleaned with drilled/grooved rotors and brakes again.
Ferodo Premium aftermarket pads; optimal temperature 300 deg C; fade at around 450 deg C (view my test) and they cost same money as OEM pads !!! If used with drilled/slotted discs, they are the cheapest solution. I really pushed those pads hard but they hold like racing pads !!!
Jurid White ceramic pads optimal temperature 300 deg C; disintegrate at around 450 deg C. They have poor stopping power once they got hot and you don't need hard race-style braking. It is just long downhill section in mountains and you're without brakes - deadly in mountains on front brakes.
Once, friction material disintegrate it starts to stick to the disc. Even drilled disc didn't clean the pad !
Burnt friction material - even drilled holes in disc didn't clean the pad.

sopranos season 6 finale yesterday was a bit weak. i was hoping agent harris’s prediction that someone close to tony would get whacked would come true. the entire season was incredibly slow and nothing really happened. tony gets shot, tony hallucinates, tony wakes up, vito gets caught dancing in a gay bar, vito is murdered, paul has a heart attack. thats it. 12 episodes wasted like that.
there were some hints at tensions between the New York and New Jersey families and within tony’s family, personal and business, as well but neither of those scenarios were explored further. bobby is still where he was before. silvio has settled back into his original position as right-hand-man after tony’s return from the hospital. paulie is the same dispicable human being. vito, who i did not even remember as being part of tony’s crew had a quarter of the season devoted to him just to get whacked by phil. christopher is drinking and enjoying drugs again but at least there was some character development for him. he moved on after that horrible affair with adriana, got married, bought a new house, quit his drinking, quit his drug habits, pursued his movie ideas a bit more, but now seems bored with his life and “job” … sitting in the diner with his new goomah not knowing whether to do more drugs or go to another AA meeting or just go home to his pregnant wife.

The YAG laser is meant to remove the central zone of cloudy posterior capsule behind the intraocular lens. Sometimes after the cataract surgery, laser treatment is needed to permanently eliminate vision loss due to posterior capsule opacification.
A cataract has an outer coating and an inner nucleus. When an ophthalmologist performs cataract surgery, the surgeon makes a circular opening in the front facing capsule to remove the inner nucleus.
The remaining capsular envelope is meant to support the new artificial lens injected in. Over time, the capsule shrinks & wraps around the new lens just like the shrink wrap.
Since the capsule has live cells, some of those may develop a layer of new cells forming a frosting on the back surface that’s known as posterior capsular opacification (PCO).
This type of after-cataract might occur in 10% of patients after cataract surgery. That frosted layer can be considered as the frost on a window that blurs the view through the window, and the same happens through the new lens.
There’s no exact time as the PCO occur at any time after surgery including either a few weeks or months later.
In some of the cataract surgeries, an adherent plaque might be present on the capsule, and a surgeon might prefer to leave it rather than risk tearing the capsule. In such cases, it’s imperative to get the early treatment in order to clear the frosting.
The YAG laser surgery used to clear the frosting from the back surface. As confirmed by a huge number of patients, the YAG laser treatment is painless and is easily completed from outside the eye without taking too long.
During the treatment, your ophthalmologist will use a magnifying contact lens in order to aim the YAG laser at the frosted layer.
During the treatment, you’ll see flashes and hear a clicking sound. It’s all because the pupil has to be dilated before the YAG laser is performed to have a good view of the lens surface.
Once the treatment is complete, you’ll be prescribed a short course of anti-inflammatory along with some pressure drops.
You’ll start feeling the improved vision within a day like most other patients. Normally, YAG laser is needed once as the capsule doesn’t regrow after it’s vaporized by the YAG Laser.
The complications after YAG laser are very rare and few. Rarely, the complications include retinal swelling, raised eye pressure, vitreous floaters, lens damage and very retinal detachment.
It’s common to have a new floater in the eye after the surgery.
YAG laser posterior capsulotomy isn’t used or meant to prevent clouding of the back lining of the lens capsule (posterior capsule opacification). One just can’t determine who will get clouds in the back of the eye after undergoing the cataract surgery.
Notably, there’re some lenses used in the surgery to remove the cataract that can lower the risk and even the need for further laser surgery. Like with cataract surgery, it’s imperative to weigh the risks as well as possible benefits of laser capsulotomy before planning to undergo surgery.

The Office of Solid Waste Management & Recycling (OSWM&R) encourages and expands Georgia Tech's recycling, waste diversion and reuse programs. We promote efforts to decrease the amount of waste produced on campus in order to ultimately reduce the amount of waste that Georgia Tech landfills.
The OSWM&R works to ensure that non-hazardous solid waste produced on the Georgia Tech campus is handled in an efficient, economic and sustainable manner. Our office manages the solid waste contract for the Georgia Tech campus. Under the terms of the contract, campus waste in dumpsters, roll-offs and compactors is collected on a regular basis and land filled.
The OSWM&R strives to make the Georgia Tech campus more sustainable by diverting waste through recycling and other recovery programs. Our comprehensive recycling program includes conveniently located collection sites and regular pick-ups for campus wide recycling. In addition, we coordinate recycling initiatives for special events, home football games and the annual Earth Day Festival. The OSWM&R is committed to improving and expanding opportunities for recycling, recovery and reuse in order to divert the largest possible percentage of Georgia Tech’s waste from the waste stream.
Our success hinges on the active participation of everyone on campus. This office makes every effort to raise awareness for the importance of reducing and diverting waste and to encourage the cooperation of the Georgia Tech community in our recycling and recovery programs. We organize Georgia Tech’s annual Earth Day Festival, work closely with student groups on environmental initiatives, meet with incoming freshmen at FASET, and produce a monthly newsletter with information and updates about the campus recycling program.

I’d used Paparazzi for years to take full-page shots of web pages for work. I couldn’t get it to work for this job, so I went looking for a replacement and found BrowseShot. It’s everything I needed and then some—more than a simple page-grabber, it functions as a browser so I don’t have to paste each link into the address field. A job I expected to take two hours only took one.
If you need more than a screen shot or window-grab utility, this does the job and does it well.
I have been seeking an app like this for years. Open up the app and paste in a web address. Click on the camera icon to save a PNG image of the entire page - not just the area viewable on the screen. Click on the saved image and it opens in Preview (if that is set as your default viewer). You can expand the image and use the magnification feature to view it like it is on the screen.

Drug Abuse and Drug Addiction - What is the Difference?
Are Drug Abuse and Drug Addiction the Same Things?
For some time now, the question has been asked as to what is worse, drug abuse or drug addiction? Drug abuse refers to simply consuming any drug substance in an abusive or recreational fashion and not as intended. This could be things like doing heroin, cocaine, or meth. It could also mean taking prescription drugs in a way that is not intended, even though you have a prescription for them. Drinking excessively or binge drinking is considered alcohol abuse. Alcohol addiction is when you get to the point that you suffer withdrawal symptoms when abstaining from alcohol. Therefore, drug abuse and drug addiction are not the same things.
Drug addiction is usually thought to be much worse because it implies a continual abuse of such a substance to the point that you are physically dependent on it. But what about marijuana addiction? Is somebody with an addiction to marijuana really worse off than someone who abuses heroin? Probably not, as it is very difficult to kill yourself with marijuana but very easy to do so with heroin.
What is and is not an addiction and what is and is not a drug abuse issue? The real fact of the matter is, that drug abuse and drug addiction often go hand in hand. Ultimately, almost all drugs, including marijuana, are addictive. If a person abuses a drug over and over, they will eventually develop a drug addiction. Arguably, drug addiction is worse than drug abuse in the majority of cases. This is because odds are that an individual starts by abusing a drug and continues using, thus developing a physical addiction to it. Individuals do not abuse drugs from time to time recreationally and not experience adverse effects to it.
Which is Worse, Abuse or Addiction?
Try to understand that in most cases, drug addiction is worse than abuse. Addiction implies that the individual now is physically dependent on the substance. They will go through withdrawal symptoms if abstaining from the drug. The only way to relieve the uncomfortable, and possibly dangerous, withdrawal symptoms is to use more of the substance. To avoid becoming even more dependent, the individual must go through a detoxification process.
What Can We do About Drug Abuse and Drug Addiction?
Drug abuse and drug addiction are problems which are surmounting every year. We as a nation have become far more lax on the subject of drugs and alcohol. There are many areas where we need to provide education on this subject. We need to start with educating our youth more thoroughly about the many dangers of drugs and alcohol. Prevention is key in stamping out substance abuse in our country. Although we will more than likely never be completely rid of drug addiction, we can provide treatment for those in need and provide informative facts on this subject to the public. Don’t let drug abuse and drug addiction overcome your world.

The De Santos Gallery serves as a vessel for bringing current photographic works from around the world to Houston. The building responds to the site’s orientation. Natural light is allowed in the building and can be controlled as needed. As the entrance to the gallery is approached, the building begins to reveal its content. This is purposely done to gradually awaken the intellectual curiosity of the visitor.
Once inside, the visitor gets a glimpse of the reflection pool in the sculpture garden. Working space is provided in a private studio on the second floor. The third floor houses a loft and rest area, while the terrace is used for relaxation and outdoor portrait photography. Although display and work spaces are interconnected and opened to each other, the upper two floors can work independently from the gallery allowing both areas to be operated by different tenants.

Kyle Connor scored the overtime winner as the visiting Winnipeg Jets erased a third-period deficit to claim a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night and even their opening-round Western Conference playoff series at two wins apiece.
Game 5 will be Thursday in Winnipeg. Curiously, the road team has won all four games so far in the series between the Central Division rivals who finished even with 99 points in the regular season.
Off the rush in the extra frame, Mark Scheifele was denied on a golden chance, but he had the presence of mind to feed the puck to the slot for a wide-open Connor to bury the winner at 6:02.
It was the first-ever playoff overtime victory in Jets franchise history.
After the game was scoreless through 40 minutes, Blues star Vladimir Tarasenko broke the deadlock with a power-play goal 35 seconds into the third period. Tarasenko was set up at the point before he unloaded a top-shelf, glove-side rocket from just inside the circle for his second man-advantage marker in as many games.
However, Scheifele evened the count at 7:33 of the period with a nifty play. Amidst a rush up the ice, Scheifele completed a give-and-go with Connor by redirecting the shot-pass into the top corner.
Jets captain Blake Wheeler also collected two points.
Despite the low scoring, there was some phenomenal goaltending from both squads.
Winnipeg’s Connor Hellebuyck held the fort in the early going as the hosts collected the first eight shots on goal. Hellebuyck was even bigger late in the second period when he delivered scintillating saves on Robert Thomas and David Perron. Hellebuyck finished with 31 saves in his best performance of this year’s playoffs.
Not to be outdone, Blues rookie Jordan Binnington answered with authority any questions regarding his ability to regroup after surrendering six goals in Game 3. He was rock solid in making 37 saves, with a key stop on Patrik Laine moments after the Jets made it 1-1.

What do you look at or see?
This is a personal observation of my experiences recently as an Exhibitor and at Exhibitions.
The story behind this picture is that I was on a purposeful walk in conversation with my Creator and His Creation via my camera. The resulting image was captured, processed, printed, mounted and framed and selected for an Exhibition within a Church Gallery.
Over the period of the Exhibition, I was there for two of the days for three and six hours each day, I observed that the people looked at the picture but moved on quite quickly – they looked at it but did not see or perceive the meaning behind it.
The image had no title or explanation to it, which leads me to the question – Does your image say what it is, or does it need a title in support of what it is?
Sometimes people need a window to look beyond what they initially see in the image.
What do we take notice of on a day to day basis? Do people treat life the way they looked at a photograph or a painted image? Do they look but not see? Do they not have the time to see? Make the time to see?
If you want your art to be seen, how can you encourage people to see what they are looking at? How do we get people to not be apathetic when engaging with photographs?
Are you swamped in the negativity of life and does that drive you and give you focus, or are you driven by positivity?
Realising the above, I need to plan some structured time where I can be alone and be still and de-focus from my busyness and re-focus on my surroundings. I need to look at what I’m seeing and, using my creativity, capture it in an image that might not only remind me, hopefully, of a nice experience, but will excite and convey enjoyment to any person seeing the image.

Home » Haunted News » Bucoda: Haunted House or Haunted Town? Yes!
Bucoda: Haunted House or Haunted Town? Yes!
Roughly 20 miles south and east of Washington’s capital city of Olympia sits the old mill town of Bucoda. In the best way, this a town of yesteryear. Population 562 with hundreds of stories to tell around the campfire, town hall, or in one of several purported haunted spots around town. Whether it be the park, where tales are told of flaming trees; or near the site of the former first Washington Territorial prison that has stories of apparitions of former inmates; or the site of the Scary-Nights Haunted House located in the old 1939 high school gym. Bucoda is clearly a perfect place to get your spook on.
The original name of Bucoda, dubbed by settler Oliver Shead in the 1860s, was “Seatco,” a Native American word for Evil Spirit or Devil. Understandably, the name was later changed to the present Bucoda by borrowing from the names of 3 local investors: Buckley, Coulter, and David. But the DIE had been cast: the original name, even though changed, has stuck. Tales are told of the administrators who ran the prison that was dubbed “Hell on Earth.” The harsh conditions on the inmates have left a lasting impression on the jail. Several sightings of the ghosts of inmates at the facility have been reported. Many living near the old facility will have a story that reeks of the paranormal.
Entering it’s 5th year, the Bucoda Scary-Nights haunted house is getting into a groove. In the first couple of years, the organizers relied on the talents of their live actors. Now, more props, an updated layout, and many more animatronics are in use along with those talented live actors. The audience will tell you that the owners do a horrifying job of setting the tone and prepping you for the scares ahead, but it is also a safe atmosphere that can be fun for the whole family.
The 1939 gym, which houses the Scary-Nights haunted house has actually been investigated for paranormal activity. The investigators visited the gym, took EVPs, and scoured for evidence, but in the end they didn’t find what they were looking for. However, upon further investigation of their material, the investigators sent this picture to the Mayor of Bucoda which has 5 orbs circled by the team.
Noises and footsteps are often heard when nobody else is around. People have reported they feel like they’re being watched and doors open and shut by themselves. All could be explained, but the orbs are another matter. The town and anyone that spends a decent amount of time in the building are convinced this place has some paranormal ties.
When the prisoners came in from work, the sight and clatter of chains was deafening and damnable, nearly all being in heavy double irons, riveted to their legs, wearing them day and night, sick or well, all the time.
The Bucoda train tracks and prison have left an eerie spirit on the town. The conditions that the prisoners of Seatco Prison lived under were harsh. They were forced into treacherous labor conditions and many did not survive. The train tracks have seen derailments and several deaths. The 1939 Union Pacific derailment of a passenger train that hit and killed the driver of a logging truck also resulted in several passenger and train crew fatalities. Both of these stories have surmounted to reports of seeing ghostly shapes and figures on the tracks and many home owners near the old prison will comment their house has some sort of paranormal activity associated with it.
I lived in Bucoda and had very strange happenings in our home growing up.
One of the things to look for while in the Scary-Nights haunted house is Abby, a famously precocious doll. Abby often stays with Rosemary, one of the managers of the haunted house. Depending on Abby’s mood, she may give you the chills, or just give you the cold shoulder. You see, Abby lives at the house year round, but she starts getting really excited to scare around Halloween.
A couple years ago, a visiting artist was painting murals on the walls of the haunted house’s maze, he started to get the distinct feeling he was being watched. He kept looking around and yelling for whoever it was to come out, but no one was there. He tried to shrug it off, but then he heard giggling and someone or something running across the floor in the old bleachers above him. He bolted, and said he wasn’t going back there alone. Rosemary found Abby, who hadn’t been brought there by anyone, and decided to give her a place of honor near the front of the house. The doll is believed to be spooked and has said some statements that aren’t necessarily normal doll behavior.
Simply put, visit Bucoda at your own risk. Come for the Scary Nights Haunted House. Stay for the Bucoda Hauntings!
I lived in Bucoda years ago and never knew this story. I have family living there now .

Looks like Barack Obama isn’t letting something like a little wiretapping accusation stand in his way of being the coolest ever.
Obama brought his new favorite pastime, reminding Americans what they’re missing, to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., on Sunday. His appearance comes amidst claims from Donald Trump that the former president wiretapped the phone lines at Trump Tower in the time leading up to the election.
But if his look is any indication of how he’s taking the news ― a pair of jeans, a button-front shirt, sunglasses and ― wait for it ― a super stylish brown leather jacket, we think it’s safe to say he’s not losing too much sleep over the whole thing.
For the first time ever, he may have even upstaged Michelle Obama, who looked lovely yet less fashion-forward in a black turtleneck, pants and cardigan. We never thought we’d see the day.
Obama has been looking relaxed, happy and handsome as ever since leaving the White House. Can you blame him?
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story stated the Obamas visited the National Portrait Gallery. They visited the National Gallery of Art.

Speaking of the teardown, that’s not the only Mariners deal we need to report. Also official: Seattle will send reliever Juan Nicasio, shortstop Jean Segura, and reliever James Pazos (reported later) to Philadelphia for Carlos Santana and J.P. Crawford. If no money is exchanging hands in this deal, the Mariners will be sending roughly $67.5M worth of commitments to the Phillies while taking on just $36M in return (all back-of-the-napkin calculations), which sure looks like a bit of a salary dump … of a pretty darn good player in Segura. And that’s just not a good look.
Don’t get me wrong: as bad as it is for the sport as a whole, tearing down and tanking is still a good way to win in the future. HOWEVER, a big(ish) market team like the Mariners should NEVER prioritize money over returns. If anything, that should be their biggest advantage (i.e. cover as much money as you can to get the best possible return, i.e. buying prospects). Shame.
Earlier today, we discussed another potential Mariners deal, wherein they’d attach Dee Gordon and/or Kyle Seager to someone like Mitch Haniger – potentially to the Cubs or Cardinals, even.
According to ESPN (further detailed here at FanGraphs): “A group seeking to lure a Major League Baseball team to Portland announced that it has signed an agreement in principle to develop a 45-acre waterfront site.” The deal was announced on Thursday and was revealed alongside artist rendering of a new ballpark. According to FanGraphs, the site could be the destination of one of the long-anticipated expansion teams *or* it could serve as an alternative for a team to move (the Diamondbacks, Mariners, and Angels are/have all recently dealt with stadium disputes). My guess is an expansion team, but either way. If you get a chance check out the renderings at FanGraphs, because the stadium concept and details look really cool.
Welp…got my finger stuck in a drone blade again.
… which is probably why he fell down!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I KNOW. I KNOW. I’LL BE HERE ALL WEEK.

If I didn't have Kiffy to bring me back down to earth and remind me that my big dreams are a little too excessive for our penniless state, I'd probably be sleeping under a freeway overpass somewhere in Los Angeles.
BUT, this time we've come to an agreement that in T minus 365 days we'll embark on the road trip of our lives!! The planning is officially underway.
The plan is to take one month next summer and drive cross-country so we can explore the good ole' USA.
We figure it's about 3,500 miles, give or take a few, from California to the East coast. We're not quite sure of the routes we'll take yet. But I do know that I plan on eating fried green tomatoes, stopping in as many podunk towns as possible, and seeing Coney Island.
Any suggestions of must-sees we shouldn't miss?
I'm looking forward to the open road. Until then, we'll be packing this baby with our spare change to keep the dream alive!
This sounds like an amazing trip! I would do some of the church history sites and hit up niagra falls if you go up that way. Haws took a rode trip from Tennesse to CA. I am sure he has some good places you should see.
You guys should come and see us here in Buffalo, we can go to Niagara Falls and some of the church history sights. We would love to see you two. Let us know!
this is my dream! i love that you are always planning trips... a girl after my own heart.
You should try and make it to Sedona,AZ for the mystic in you (and Kiffy, I know he feels it too.) But really, it's amazing even by the off chance you're not into vortexes.

Many thanks to everyone who made it to Slimbridge yesterday. It was fantastic to see so many people turn up in person on a cold winter day.
Martin McGill, Roland Digby and Nige Jarrett spoke to a packed room about the ups and downs of the birds’ incredible journey. Look at the Flickr photo gallery.
We saw a short film of footage from the expedition, before Kate Humble drew back the curtain to reveal the live video link up with the birds in their specially-built aviary. All visitors to Slimbridge can view the birds over the CCTV link up in the cinema at 2.30pm each day (except Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 29 and 30 December).
It was also the day to celebrate the spoon-billed sandpipers’ emergence from quarantine. The birds’ story featured on BBC and ITV news bulletins throughout the day.
What an incredible day we had. Kate Humble is such a professional and managed to tease the story out of Nigel, Martin and Rowland in such a wonderful way. I was on the edge of my seat all over again! It was such an honour to meet all the people involved with this bird and the live link-up went so well. Thanks everyone for a great day. I’m still buzzing from it.
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a successful and happy 2012 for you and the birds.
Definitely a success. It was a great privilege to be there and hear the story told so well, and to meet not only the heroes who’d brought back the birds, but the supporters and co-workers who’ve made it possible, not to mention old friends, and of course the real stars – the birds – the live TV link worked well and should be a great way of getting visitors enthused about the project. I was inspired to get the running shoes back on, and at the risk of boring regular visitors to the blog, if you’d like to support my London marathon run for the SBS please visit http://www.justgiving.com/sandpiper.

Edelkrone’s FocusOne Pro is a unique take on the traditional follow focus system, giving camera operators a better view of the focus marker. Unlike other systems, the focus marker on the FocusOne Pro faces the camera operator. The marker is manually adjustable, eliminating the need for a pen. The operator simply rotates the marker point to its desired location. While the unique location of the marker point is the highlight of the system, there are a few other features worth mentioning. It is compatible with all 15mm rods, however a separate adapter is available for 19mm rods. Reverse gear is included making the system compatible with either Canon or Nikon lenses which have different directions of focus. It can be attached to either side of the lens and is compatible with all DSLR lenses. While the system can be attached directly to lenses with teeth, lens gears are available separately for those without teeth. This looks like an interesting choice for shooters who want to be able to see their focus marker at all times.
Canon 5D Mark IV: Canon’s 4K Full Frame Camera Around the Corner?
It’s been three years since the Canon 5D Mark III was released, and recently it’s seen some price cuts. So naturally, rumors about a possible 5D Mark IV are ramping up, with many speculating that it could be a 4K camera. The rumors were first reported at CanonWatch. Here’s a quick look at these rumored specs: 24MP sensor Dual Pixel CMOS AF III New and more advanced AF system (compared to EOS 5D3) 4k video Anti-flickr technology (seen first on the 7D Mark II) Improved video features Crop mode (featured on the upcoming EOS 5Ds) ISO 100-51200 (H1: 102400, H2: 204800) It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 7 years since the 5D Mark II changed indie film as we know it. Canon made some significant advancements with the Mark III, so it’s only natural to expect them to raise the bar again. Each camera that comes out these days has it’s pros and cons. We’re probably never going to have the perfect camera with the perfect specs at the perfect price point. But it’s amazing to see how much the manufacturers have improved these cameras since the DSLR revolution began. And if these early rumors about the Canon 5D Mark IV turn out to be accurate then we could end up with Canon’s long awaited answer to the hot selling Sony A7S, an affordable full frame camera that shoots 4K. With NAB just a few weeks away, might we expect some sort of announcement? It’s all rumors for now, but we’ll keep you updated with the latest news.

Christian Sundsdal sent in this fairly simple an inexpensive solution to the audio monitoring problem we have with many of our HDSLR cameras. He used a simple headphone amplifier, a couple mini jack splitters, two mini to mini cables and a pair of headphones and viola he can now montor the audio out of the camera while recording. Pretty cool. “I have found one simple workaround that really works.And a bonus with my setup is that you can connect two mics.

Inquisitive Myths: [GW2] Ironman Challenge Update: Halfway There!
I'm halfway there! My new warrior just hit 50% map completion in GW2.
I decided to finish the cities first. While exploring Divinity's Reach I ran into a naked dance party at the city entrance. Human cities, huh?
I'm really enjoying the journey so far. Because of megaservers, there are players everywhere I go, which really makes the world feel alive. I was surprised to see that even Lion's Arch had players hanging out / exploring.
Leveling (yet another) warrior, I'm surprised at the number of things I discover about the class. Just after hitting level 30, I noticed strange brown bubbles around my character. Apparently they're an effect from equipping Signet of Rage. The effect is so small on my asura that I never noticed it, and I never cared about the charr enough to look closely. Another reminder of why I'm rerolling.
Gendarran Fields was the most boring map I completed. Since so many players are hanging out in Vigil Keep, most of the zone feels completely deserted. Felt like pre-megaserver leveling.
Fort Vandal in Kessex Hills was a close call. Since the end of Living Story Season 1 suggested this area is about to become important, I wanted to explore the fort and hop over the walls. I reconsidered when I noticed the large numbers of level 80 champion poisoners on the walls. Apparently they're pretty tough.
I went rooftop hopping in Ebonhawke instead. Just beneath this screenshot are two players engaging in either sappy-romance RP about returning from war... or some about-to-get-steamy ERP. Either way, it was awkward when they looked up to see my character perched like this.
Finishing Lornar's Pass gave me 52% map completion at level 47. I'm being much more adventurous than my last character, who hit level 80 with only 61% of the map explored (no deaths). I think this new challenge is really encouraging me to take more risks exploring the world.
Definitely looking forward to what the other half of the world has to explore!

I hope you’ve had a good weekend! Mine has being great and today I want to share a review of a series that I read recently.
The Selection Series, by Kiera Cass.
* There are also several novellas that accompany this series. Here is the link to the amazon page of the Author where you can find all of it.
The best way for me to try and resume this series into a one sentence description its to use some comparison. To me it was a bit of “The Bachelor” (the one on tv in the US) but put into a dystopian setting in order to get a different reaction because of it. Now for those of you who don’t know what The Bachelor is, I will explain how it pertains to the books.
The stories of this books are following closely a girl Named America. She is a 5, which means that in society she is behind in the class category. She and her family are artists and there for earning a living is hard when you depend on being hired for parties and the like… Her mother is pushy and wants her to enter the Selection, for she thinks this is the best way for the daughter to get out of the classification their society has pushed on them. The category’s pertain directly to the jobs performed by the population, the lowest, #8, are the homeless.
The Selection (here is why I compare it with the bachelor, since its sort of the same thing, without this class classification…) is the process in which the Prince (Maxon) will chose his wife out of 35 girls from the kingdom. All of different social classes… How ever, America has already given her heart out to Aspen, a boy she’s known all her life and that she adores. How ever he is a 6 and if they were to marry, she would also become a 6, something that has had them concealing their relationship since the beginning, both because the law forbids any sort of close encounters between couples before marriage, and because she knows her mother would not approve of her lowering he caste to marry him.
The story is not to complicated at first, how ever, it does become so. America has to figure out if she wants to be there for herself and not for her family. Competition is hard, and all the girls are not as nice as she expected them to be.
In the mean time, Maxon and America, both being from very different upbringings have found some common ground with in each others way of thinking and get along rather well. Sometimes better than others, of course… This is their story first and foremost.
I hope you enjoyed this review. Don’t forget that I am also in the video portion of the IGeekBooks Blog on Youtube, with something new, reviews and TBR lists, etc… every week.
Here is the link to those videos, don’t forget to Subscribe to get notified when a new one is uploaded.
PS: did anyone read “The Heir” by Kiera Cass. It’s the last book and I read the synopsis and was not sold… What did you think of it?
Leave your comments below and please tell me what you think!!
As always, I hope you have a great book keeping you company.

text: Abstract: On a wired network, authentication is implicitly provided by physical access; if a user is close enough to the network to plug in a cable, he must have gotten past the receptionist at the front door. While this is a weak definition of authentication, and one that is clearly inappropriate for high-security environments, it works reasonably well as long as the physical access control procedures are strong. Wireless Networks are attractive, in large part, because physical access is not required to use network resources. Therefore, a major component of maintaining network security is ensuring that stations attempting to associate with the network are allowed to do so. In this paper, we present a method to identify the location of wireless LAN users, and thus defend a "parking lot" attack.

What a welcome! Bigger smiles than these are hard to find. We’re back at the stables in Brazzaville, where my daughter has been riding for the past few years. It was lovely to see both our two-legged and four-legged friends. From the owner of the stables to the guard at the gate, and from majestic Aldebaran to chunky little Kiki, everyone greeted us so warmly.
The afternoon looked iffy, a heavy thunderstorm hit Brazzaville around 2pm. The riding arena often becomes so waterlogged that riding isn’t possible, but we were lucky, the storm didn’t last long.
On this first return to the stables Petit Andrew was the focus! He hasn’t been ridden more than a few times during the past six months, but he was super good despite the lack of practice. He’s six years old and still learning – and it’s mainly been our daughter who’s been training him. So it was a treat for her to see how he remembered what she’s taught him even though she’s been away for a while.
A great first evening back at the stables, and one that will be followed by many more!
Of course Petit Andrew was the focus! He is pretty adorable despite his silly way of throwing his hooves around as he moves forward.

The White House recently announced that the U.S. and Mexico have agreed to a new NAFTA deal. An agreement has not been made with Canada and Congress must approve any pact.
“NAFTA has had a devastating impact on workers for more than 25 years. We are aggressively engaged in pursuing an agreement that works for working people in all three countries, and we are not done yet. There is more work that needs to be done to deliver the needed, real solutions to NAFTA’s deeply ingrained flaws.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, Steelworkers International President Gary Jones, UAW President Gary Jones and CWA President Chris Shelton joined Martinez in issuing the statement.

This Case of the Month is submitted by Melissa Reynolds, LMT, CMMP from Texas. Melissa recently graduated from our Medical Massage Certification program and is fully engaged in building her practice while helping patients who are suffering from various pain syndromes, sometimes for years.
This clinical case that Melissa recently finished is a great example of how a simple protocol when it is applied and executed correctly becomes a life changing experience for patients.
In June I had a new patient – a 53-year-old female with pain in the right arm ranging between 8-10. The pain was concentrated in the middle deltoid area and it radiated to the arm. The patient has suffered with this pain for the last 17 years. She has seen her family doctor, chiropractors, physical therapists on numerous occasions and had X-rays and an MRI with no signs of trauma or inflammation to the area.
After questioning the client and evaluating her daily activities, I learned that she feels the worse pain when she is driving, or working long hours on a computer. Sometimes the pain becomes so intense she is only able to work on the computer for an hour then has to take a 3-hour break before she can approach the computer again. After examining ergonomics at her desk, it was determined that she holds her arms out in front of her with no support when typing. Ironically, the patient had full ROM in the shoulder, but it was accompanied by pain. Also, she couldn’t hold her arm in static abduction and flexion for an extended period of time.
During manual assessment and testing using Jump’s Test and Compass Techniques I determined that the patient has very active trigger points in the middle portion of the deltoid muscle and active periostal trigger point at the insertion of the deltoid muscle into the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus. It was obvious to me that the client was suffering from Deltoid Muscle Syndrome.
I used Medical Massage protocol for Deltoid Muscle Syndrome from SOMI’s Video Library as a main treatment option. I started on the posterior neck addressing the origin of the deltoid muscle’s innervation and after that work layer by layer reducing tension in the fascia and each portion of the deltoid muscle. The final target of the session was periostal trigger point at the insertion of the deltoid muscle into the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus.
After 3 sessions the client reported a significant decrease in the intensity of pain and discomfort in her shoulder. She was able to work longer on the computer before she felt any discomfort. Finally, by session 6 the pain in the shoulder completely disappeared, function was restored, and the client didn’t feel any referred pain to her arm and forearm.
Considering the long history of my client’s chronic pain I decided to give her 3 more sessions to additionally reinforce the clinical effect and prevent reoccurrence of the tension. The client was diligent and cooperative with her homework, doing all necessary stretching and ergonomic and postural changes while at home and especially while she worked on the computer.
The patient has resumed all daily activities with no pain at any time for the last three months. She works on the computer only with support for her forearms. She is extremely happy since the pain she experienced for 17 years is finally gone.
