stillhopeful 2 years, 2 months ago.
My 80 year old mother was diagnosed in Sept with MDS. She has tried all the different treatments since, none of which have worked. She’s gone through one treatment of Vidaza. No positive results yet, not surprisingly. She now has thrush which is affecting her more than anything to-date. She can’t eat much and her energy has dropped dramatically. Is there any remedy for thrush beyond the prescription mouthwashes? I’ve read about Nystatin but her dr has not mentioned it. Is it helpful? What are the negatives?
Her blood levels, including platelets, are very low. She’s been getting platelet transfusions twice a week since diagnoses. Her platelets drop quickly and can go from 40,000 after transfusion to 8,000 two days later. Her ANC dropped to zero after Vidaza treatment. I know it can take several courses of Vidaza to show improvements. She has been handling everything well except the thrush. Is this normal reaction to Vidaza? What else should we be prepared for with Vidaza? 2nd course next week.
Have not heard of anyone developing Thrush from Vidaza. I know the chemo drops all your blood counts to very low levels before they start coming back, if the Vidaza is going to work. In my first 6 months of treatments the Vidaza did not affect me that much other than some constipation and nausea but this time around it is very difficult to deal with.
Hi my mom is in similar boat except she has pneumonia. She did one round of the 7 day cycle of vidaza and ended up in er with pneumonia. It’s been a month now. All her counts have dropped. But before it was just platelets now it’s all. Constipation and pneumonia is what to look out for. I hope your mom does good with tx and can get through the thrush.
I developed thrush Nystatin is considered a mouth wash. That is what they treated mine with it is not like a traditional mouth wash and different doctors give different directions. I was told by one to swish it around gargle it spit it out. Another told me to swish it around swallow. I got better results by swallowing. Thrush is a yeast nfection shouldn’t affect the appetite or swallowing ability. I had a secondary tonsillitis and swollen lymphoids that caused my problems.
Thanks. My advice for anyone starting vidaza is to start taking Mugard before the first treatment. It’s a liquid that coats the mouth and throat to stop oral mucositis from happening. Horrible canker sores and very painful. It is a common side effect yet no one told us this. We had to inquire after it got so bad that my mother was hospitalized for 10 days. She’s still struggling with it and still can’t eat much.
3rd round of vidaza scheduled in a week. Hope she’s strong enough. Her platelets still drop after each transfusion and WBC are still low, but others seem to show slowl improvements.

Versa 1.6 SV: I have a nissan versa 2012 and getting code p0171.
I have a nissan versa 2012 and getting code p0171. Fuel consumption is up and check engine light is going on and off. I stalled a few times whiling idling on a red light. Then it comes back on in 15-20 minutes.
Hello my name is XXXXX XXXXX thank you for your question.
Do you have a scanner to monitor fuel trim?
Also, do you have a cold air intake or K&N air filter on the car?
No I dont have scanner. I dont know what is difference between those air filter and cold air intake.
Other symptoms I can tell is hard to start in the morning . I have to crank it at least twice.
I usually dont have any problems at higher speeds . Stalling and hesitating is happening while idling.
Thank you.. How many miles do you have on the car?
Your issue is most likely caused by a bad MAF sensor.
the MAF ( Mass Air Flow ) sensor heated element which meters the air so the computer can add the proper fuel mixture has fallen out of spec. If it causes a Service Engine Soon light it can be because the Air and fuel Mixture is so off that it could cause lean or rich codes, or simply MAF sensor codes. When it's bad it can cause No Start, Stalling, poor acceleration, won't rev over a certain Rpm, and running issues. I would have the Air and Fuel mixture readings checked to verify. Checking the voltage will not show the fault, the air and fuel mixture will. If found to be bad, do not replace with a After Market one. After market MAF sensors never seem to work properly. There heated element doesn't work right which can cause 02 sensors to flat line and have you chasing you tail trying to figure out what is wrong. So the only way to correct this issue if you do have a bad MAF sensor is to replace it with a OEM.
How about air fuel ratio sensor ?
Not likely.. That is a fuel system lean code. Most cases that a MAF sensor that causes that.
What you want to do is monitor the fuel trim readings..
If I get that maf sensor from usa , should it be programmed in Canada?
There is no crazy programming involved.
It stalled a few times is it normal?
Is there anyway i can test the maf i have?
Would you like me to try to explain again how to verify the MAF sensor?
You want to check the fuel trim..
If it does not drop to that, then you may have a Air Leak, or another issue causing the lean condition.
Does that make the idling runnig higher rpms?
What a bad MAF sensor?
These cars have corrective learning..
2000 NISSAN SENTRA: RUNS really..PRESS THROTTLE IT GETS even..PROBLEM.

TALLAHASSEE — The advent of a new administration with Gov.-elect Ron DeSantis at the helm could bring a sharp turnaround in how Florida officials approach the state’s highly regulated medical marijuana industry.
And one of the first reversals might come on the legal front.
DeSantis, a Republican who will take office on Jan. 8, is unwilling to continue some of the court battles now being waged by outgoing Gov. Rick Scott’s administration, according to Lt. Gov.-elect Jeanette Nuñez.
“I think he has a different perspective than Gov. Scott. I think he wants the will of the voters to be implemented,” Nuñez, a former state representative from Miami, said.
A Tallahassee judge recently ruled that a 2017 law, aimed at implementing the amendment, was unconstitutional. Earlier this year, Leon County Circuit Judge Charles Dodson ordered state health officials to begin registering new medical-marijuana operators after deciding the law, passed during a special legislative session last year, failed to properly carry out the amendment.
The circuit judge found fault with parts of the law that, among other things, capped the number of marijuana licenses and created a “vertical integration” system that requires marijuana operators to grow, and process cannabis and distribute related products. Already-licensed operators worried that the ruling could create uncertainty in the fast-growing industry — while also allowing more companies to receive licenses.
Dodson’s decision came in a challenge filed by Tampa-based Florigrown LLC, which was denied a license by the state and is owned in part by strip-club owner Joe Redner.
The Florigrown case is just one of a number of marijuana-related legal challenges Scott’s administration is appealing. The most high-profile lawsuit is a challenge to the state’s ban on smoking medical marijuana. The plaintiffs in the case include John Morgan, the Orlando trial lawyer who largely bankrolled the 2016 amendment, known as Amendment 2.
“The governor-elect is considering a variety of options on this matter, along with a number of other important issues, and will be discussing these further as we move forward with our transition and administration,” DeSantis transition spokesman Dave Vasquez said in an email when asked to clarify which litigation Nuñez was referring to.
But, like many others, DeSantis has expressed frustration with delays in the roll-out of the amendment.
One of DeSantis’ top transition advisers is U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Panhandle Republican who was a fierce supporter of medical marijuana when he was in the state House and has continued his advocacy following his election to Congress in 2016.
DeSantis will “faithfully execute the will of the people on medical marijuana,” Gaetz said in a text Friday morning.
“As the author of Florida’s first medical marijuana laws, I’m comforted to know conditions will improve for patients under a governor fully committed to this objective. The governor-elect and I have discussed a variety of strategies. I suspect specifics will be refined in consultation with the health care advisory committee to the transition and Gov.-elect Desantis’s selections for surgeon general and general counsel,” Gaetz said.
According to Nuñez, who also said she couldn’t answer specific questions related to the licensing caps or the smoking ban, DeSantis believes most issues could be fixed by the Legislature, which begins its 2019 session on March 5.
The new administration — which, under the amendment, is responsible for implementation of the amendment and oversight of the marijuana industry — will play a major role, Nuñez indicated.
“Certainly, whoever is heading up that agency has a responsibility to implement. I think he views whoever heads up that agency, whoever is in charge of that particular area, has a responsibility to do so efficiently and effectively without sort of delaying the process, whether it’s how quickly you can get your ID cards, to ensuring that people have access,” she said.
The Office of Compassionate Use has come under harsh criticism, publicly and privately, by lawmakers, patients and would-be marijuana operators, who accuse the agency, a division of the Department of Health, of dragging its feet to craft regulations related to the marijuana industry.
At one point, patients waited for months before receiving state-issued identification cards showing they were eligible for the marijuana treatment. The approval is required for patients to purchase marijuana products.

This is a wonderful undertaking and I appreciate all the work you are doing. I got Devil in May and although I didn't want an older dog he won my heart and home. It would be great to find any of his family. Thank You.
My husband and I adopted Mr. B (racing name: Mac's Legolas) in October 2005. I would love to find her litter mates -- Mac's Arwyn and Mac's Aragorn. DOB 7/3/2006 -- today!
I am looking for litter mates of EILEEN'S CLOWN. We adopted her in 2000 and called her Elly. She was a wonderful dog--the best pet we have ever had. She passed away Monday, June 26,2006 (one week after her 9th birthday) from bone cancer.
I wrote in March of last year about my grey BB's Whassup. He died 4/5/06 of bone cancer and it has just devasted me. We also have Pa's Lee Harvey now and also Buddy (never raced). Sun. I'm off to get a cousin of Toby (BB's Whassup). Would love to have any littermates of my Toby or Pa's Lee Harvey. What a greyt site!
Thanks for putting up Adsica's info. I hope you can help me find her siblings Suto, Seeber, and Melita.
Thank you for providing a place where I can search for my beloved Bronte's (Okie Moira) family. I have it in my heart that one day we will find one of her brothers or sisters, even though she has into the senior category (turning 10 this May). Stranger things have happened, and I am not giving up hope.
My Flying Pagosa has another brother!.....kinda......While perusing your List, I noticed that Flying Oak and Flying Moorea had had TWO litters. Pagosa and sibling, Flying Wolfcreek (now called Wolfie), born in 2001. And a previous litter of seven pups in 1999. One of those pups is Flying Lynch (now called Lynch). Contacted his owner, Anne, and exchanged a number of fun pics and e-mails. Anne also shared some genetic information on Oak (sire, passed in 2004) and Moorea (dam, newly adopted) that was both enlightening and important to know. Much appreciated.
I have visited this site a few times before. My greyhound was added quite a while back. Now I return to find that someone has added her littermates! I have Solomon Grit (Must), RE 20429, LE 82B. She is now 13-1/2 years old. Would love to know if anyone knows about Solomon Blaze, Solomon Bullett or Solomon Solo (or who entered the info.). What a wonderful site! Thanks for the hard work it must take to make it happen.
I've registered on your site. I couldn't find any info on my dog. Wht can I do to check further??? Thanks for this web site.
I am looking for littermates of ICU Nevada.RE 92B LE 15131 BD's Phillip X T Zekes Treasure. If any siblings or half siblings are out there, I would love to hear from you.
Last summer I had to let my beautiful, sweet, cantankerous, perfect girl Style go. A month after her 12th birthday she started limping and her vet completely blindsided me with the news that it was cancer and the prognosis was the worst. We hung on for a month after that terrible day but I started getting the sad sense that Style was holding on for me. But this isn't meant to be sad. A month after Style crossed the bridge we visited GPA Orlando to find a companion for our second hound Daisy (whom we adopted as a stray in 2001.) Instead of the young boy I thought I wanted we found Pharaoh, an 8-year-old fawn who had just been released from the farm. This is all a long way of saying the latest adoption introduced me to the whole greyhound search process. I have subsequently found Style's pedigree and have learned that our goofy Daisy is actually ex-racer Travelin Belle, who ran 180 races in Tampa and St. Pete before finding her way to us. And, if ear marks are to be believed, Pharaoh is champion stud and runner John Edward Dash, sire of 55 pups and a Grade A champ in Palm Beach. This site and other greyhound search tools are the closest thing I've found to having my sweet animals reveal their stories to me. If anyone has any info on siblings of any of my greys (Style: 27437, 33E; Daisy (Travelin Belle): 60671, 76A; Pharaoh (John Edwards Dash: 65904, 57F) I would be thrilled to learn about it.

We adopted BB's Earlytorise from Plainfield early in May. It was the Saturday before the closing of that track. I am very interested in finding any littermates, especially her brother BB's Makes a Man. Our "babys'" new name is Nellie. She has lived up to her reputation of being a 40 mile an hour "couch potato". We are lucky here in Norwich, Connecticut in that our city has recently put in a dog park which we go to every day. What a thrill to see her run at top speed just for the fun of it. We are hooked on Greys.

Need answer from who ever that knows the answer to my question.. When someone adpots a grey and trys to get the ownership changed on the website, why do I have to fill out a blue form and send to the orginial owner?

I could not find what I am looking for. When an adoption takes place of a retired racin greyhound, I think all medical records should be given in case there is a need for a Vet to look at. I am been looking for the records of Shers Mohawk. I have finally found the previous owner after much research and will contact her. I have been told that the original owner doesn't even know what dogs she/he owns. They only care how much money the dog can bring in. Is this true?? The one I adopted is so sweet and well mannered, I just can't believe that owners of these animals don't take the time to know their dogs.
I've been contacted by another Littermate owner!!! Jahoda's Maxwell (aka Riley) is living the happily retired life here in Canada! That's Four out of Nine ;) Two are still racing/at the track!

This one is kind of confusing though. if you need help contact me. http://www.greyhound-data.com.- not really up-to-date, but may find pics of littermates, pedigree, if they are still being used as a dam or sire, races, and a few more things. this site is kind of confusing as well, if confused contact me. **to webmasters and my dogs littermates**how long does it take to get on the list? My dog is AMF Pawn with ear mark 92478. If you happen to have one contact me. my email is up above.
FIND YOUR SITE VERY INFORMATIVE. THANKS.
Greyt site, but how long does it take to get on the list?
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog Champion. He was a beautiful creature. I always thought of him like a human - he was funny, happy and even a little jealous. One of the funniest memories was when I wanted to see him run and we drove around for hours in extreme heat and ended up 5 minutes from home where he ran for 20 seconds. He was always so excited when we came to visit. Lou Lou would follow him around the park and he was her first friend. He was priviledged to have such a loving family and he gave so much to them. It was all good. Goodbye Champion, you'll be missed greatly.
I am having trouble figuring out how to use this site.
Bless all of of you for continuing with the love that we've given all of our racers. In a word, aren't they just amazing?
Fantastic site, Vicky. I'd love more information on the sibs of my boy Kk's Freckles, dob 6/6/98, ear mark 73967. And my two girls, HEMADETHEBET (renamed Kali), dob 1/17/99, ear mark 80173 and Flying Pagosa (Pagosa, Gosa or GoGo), dob 5/8/01, ear mark 95315. Thanks to all for any info!
This is the site I have been looking for! I would love to find out what has happened to my greys siblings. Meeting them would be so wonderful! I hope they are ok. Thanks for having such a great web site.
Was contacted a while back by someone having a half sibling to two of my greys. Was great to find someone with info on their sire! Great site Vicky!
Looking for sibs of Devie's Whistler. This list is such a greyt idea! Keep up the good work!
I have had a great time looking through your site. I was hoping it could lead me to a reunion..LE 93007 anyone? Her name was Freds Chioce, Dam: Greys Slick Liz, sire: Minaki Zeke. I think there were 3 others in the litter, and would love to reunite.
Thanks for having a wonderful site like this. I hope to find out about the rest of my wonderful grey's littermates. I have already found 2 of them. Haven't reunited yet, but still hoping to make that happen. Thanks again!!!!
I adopted K's Wings, now Gracie, in October 2003. I'd love to find out what happened to her littermates, if possible. I know that one of her sisters was adopted in Michigan but that's all I know. Her sire was Fortress and her dam was Tm's Honor Roll. She was born in July of 1999. Whether or not we can meet her siblings again, doesn't matter. I would just like to see where they all ended up. Thank you.
Greyt Web Site. Hope to find siblings to my fantastic retired male LL Piccolo Pal (Galilee X Mag Marcia - Sep 8, 1999).
I have 4 grys. Paca Precision (Torjan Episode/Blackie Bee), Hallo Murphy (Panama Darrell/Starlight Roslyn), Idiot Box (Flash N Win.Ashley's Spirit, Panama Chris (P's Raising Cain/Panama Pee Wee). If anyone has any of their littermates, please contact me with ionformation.
I can't find my dog on here but it's a good site.
Didn't find what I was looking for, but it was fun!
Forgot to add: My greyhound is Texoma Tornado (b. 11/99) and littermates are: Texoma Baby, Texoma Tinker, Texoma Rowdy, Texoma Joey, Texoma Tango. His sire was My Broadway Joe and Dam was San Tan Baby.
I love the web site. I just wish there was a way to find out where a dog's littermates might be!
Another reunion that I have had with one of our Greys is Sally with her half-brother, Rio. Although the two have not met yet with the amount of distance, Rio's mom, Cindy Jamieson and I have met twice and, again, I have a very dear friend. It is such a delight to know her and hope that Sally and Rio can also meet.
Thanks to Vicky and her efforts with this website, our Henry and one of his littermates, Andre, were reunited last year. They were born in 1990. Sadly soon after their reunion, Andre passed to the Bridge and Henry followed him a few months later. It was wonderful to see the two old guys together and I will treasure the photos I have of them. Thru this effort, I have made a dear friend who I probably would have never met...Andre's mom, Jan Kraft. Funny how we ended up living within 45 minutes of each other. This reunion was met for a purpose and I am so glad that I took advantage of it and, again, thanks to Vicky!
Do you have a littermate to my 13 year old? I'm having difficulty entering info. on my 13 year old and siblings. d/o/b 4-1-91, LE 3127, RE 41, sire: zambellis, dam: frontier lass; littermates: felicia forestor, fawn female; fergie of york, white/red female; pa's fudge, white/red female; lord fuskey, red male; fuji film, red male; fancy reba, fawn female; lead mine, red female and last but not least my adopted girl: telemygirlfriend, fed fawn female 13 year old and still going strong! Thank you for this site.
Hi I think your site is a fantastic idea! I have tried to input my guy's data but it doesn't seem to show up. I'll put the information here and hopefully I've just entered it wrong and you can put it in properly for me. Racing Name: Rockin Big Mike (Vern) Male DOB: 5 Jan 2000 LE: 86268 RE: 10B Sire: Blazing Desire Dam: Greys Excursion Thank you and keep up the good work!
Great site.Hope to find our Basil's littermates.I spoke to his NGA owner and I know they are out there somewhere.Good luck everyone..
Just sent in some info on the four greyts that we have. Hope it all is as it should be. We'd love to find any of their littermates and where they are.
I met Shannon at a chocolate festival in Az and also found Swaboda (Lula's) litter mate Changelosi. We both were so excited and I would love to find all of her litter mates. I love Lula and can't imagine ever being without a greyhound in my life. My husband and I think greyhounds are the very best. I am glad you have this website.
I am very excited to find the littermates for my two boys Panther and Cody.....what do I need to do?
Hi id like to register, how can i do so?
Hi, my name is Hannah and I have signed the guest book before, but I am resigning to give an update. We are now adopting or third grey. Another Greys Statesman grey. More Importantly, a littermate to one of my greys. I adopted Kt's Winnersonly, now known as Incredible 93061 and Bets On Mike 83380 and now Bets On Matt 83380. Four out of the six were adopted one is coming to the website above when she retires from racing. (so Check it out). And the other sibling Bets On Timberly is at the Rainbow Bridge. She broke her neck while out at play. Bets On Alicia is adopted and in, VA Bets on Carrie is adopted but I haven't gotten in touch with them yet. Bets On Whitney is the one still racing.
System Mr Emmy (Emmy) LE 83598 Would love to arrange a reunion or picture exchange with littermates. Thanks for a wonderful site!
love the site, can't wait to add my hounds info and find her sibs.
I'm interested in tracking down my Lady's littermates and wondering if anyone here can help. Her NGA owner was C. Don Godby and her LE tattoo is 95077. If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Hi, New site is great, terrific work. One tiny error that I noticed on my guy A.J.'s Minto Flats L.E. Tattoo 31134 his call name is Stretch. His entry says Stretch's. Just a minor thing. This site is very nice just wish I could send some reunion photo's of littermates to my two greyts. Although I do have some from five years ago just before Stretch's brother Tundra retired from racing. Keep up the fantastic work.
How can I contact a Susie Keller who adopted Reko Jamila? Her littermate Reko Kamilah is now available for adoption, and I'd like to let Susie know. Thanks.
We have K's John John and DL Seven Up. We just like to see pictures of their littermates and any pictures of the two of them as puppies.
I still remain hopeful that I will locate Cody's (Blizzard Man) littermates. He is such a gentle creature, one of God's gentle giants, and a beautiful White grey. I lost my first greyhound, Snowie when she was only four, and I thought I would never recover from that unexpected loss. She will always be with me, but Cody has helped by being such a wonderful, loving animal.
I just found one of my grey girls litter- brother on the greyhound-data and breed database: www.greyhounddata.org and am hoping she emails me back! I hope all the others have found good forever homes--these beautiful dogs have nothing but love to give after all the hard work they've given outin the past, time for them to soak it in !
I hope to find my boy Darius' littermates! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication!
Can't wait to see what we find out!!!! Thanks for making wonderful reunions possible!
I have found this web site to be very helpful in my quest to find P's Raising Cain's offspring. If any guest know's of anyone who ownes his offspring I'm working on a scrap book and would like to get their information. I am a regestered here with Cajun Rancho 76345.
I am the volunteer coordinator for Greyhound Friends of NC. Our members are thrilled to have found this page. Keep up the good work. I don't know if there is anything I can do to help, but please get in touch if there is.
I hope to find some litermates for my 2 old girls. Thanks for setting up this web site.
I am looking forward to find the littermates for all my fur kids. Thank you for all your hard work, all of us with adopted ex-racers appreciate your site.
I'd like to add my two beloved greys to your rainbridge list (not functioning at present time) They both left me too soon and too painfully. One of cancer of the liver and one with osteocarcinoma just one week ago. I'd like input on the percentage of greys who lose their lives to cancer. No greater love than theirs.
Am hoping to find littermates for my 8 hound babies!
Very Very Good! Been waiting for this a long time!
Your comment about the NGA's help and how the greyhound people really care about their dogs is refreshing as there are good people in the industry. Many times litters and partial litters are together from birth to the track and are only split up at the onset of retirement. Great idea. I will share this site with our adoption group.
I sure hope I find littermates. This is a great site and many thanks.
Great site and easy to use! Thanks for including the girls (Anita and Annette) photo!
Thank you for the information provided and your web site and your dedicated work on behalf of Champion and all his comrades.

That’s right, the iconic 911 is a half-century old, and to commemorate such an impressive feat, Porsche will offer a 50th Anniversary Edition, limited to just 1963 units, representative of the year the 911 was born.
But don’t worry, other than some badging your Anniversary 911 will look just as indistinguishable as all the others, despite some fairly major changes for 2014. The bulk of those changes affect the GT3 and Turbo models, however, and in Porsche tradition, they should give purists plenty to gripe about.
First comes more power, something no one seems to have a problem with. The direct-injected 3.8-liter boxer 6-cylinder sports an additional 8 lb-ft of torque and 40 extra hp in the GT3, bringing total power up to 475 hp and 374 lb-ft of torque. You’ll also get some new forged and titanium parts that bring the lump in a few pounds underweight from previous applications. Turbo and Turbo S trims also see a power increase—20 and 30 hp, respectively—something no one was asking for, but everyone wants. Zero-to-60 speeds for the 3 trims come in at 3.3 seconds for the GT3, 3.2 for the 520-hp Turbo when equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package and a shocking 2.9 for the 560-hp Turbo S.
Now, on to the heresy. GT3 trims get electric steering this year, and while it’s been generally well-received in the Carrera, we can expect those ponying up the cash for the GT3 to be less flexible. Even more contentious, all 3 trims are fitted with 4-wheel steering for 2014. This system provides opposed steering under 30 mph for easier navigation around tight alleyways and parking-lot lanes, and congruent steering at higher speeds for more responsive handling when the world blurs. On paper, who would argue with making the 911 more manageable? In reality, the idea of adapting to new handling characteristics for a car as legendarily twitchy as the 911 is a frightening thought.
Apparently Porsche anticipated this, as the Turbo trims additionally get a revised all-wheel-drive system with an electronically controlled coupling and improved cooling for better power transfer to the front wheels. They’re also fitted with adaptive aerodynamics—3-stage front and back—to make sure wheels and pavement stay in close contact. After all, when your customers die, no one wins.
Sadly, all 3 also come standard with a new version of the 7-speed PDK double-clutch transmission. No manual will be offered. The GT3 additionally gets taller gearing and final drive ratios, which help it come so close to the Turbo’s times.
But the real story is in the limited 50th Anniversary edition, much closer to the 911 it supposedly honors. Rear-wheel drive, Fuchs-inspired 20-inch wheels, chrome exterior detailing and your choice of 3 colors: Black, Gray or… another Gray. Inside you’ll find “911 50” badging and stitching, as well as some smart seats with tartan-plaid-inspired inserts, reminiscent of the 911s of old. The body is based on the Carrera 4 and offers a rather understated honorarium for this old horse.
Of course, that’s just visuals. Porsche’s Active Suspension Management System is standard, as well as a sports exhaust, the Sport Chrono Pack and a small power bump to 430 hp. Here you can choose between the 7-speed PDK and a manual transmission—each of which will get the anniversary edition to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds.
Quite the soiree for a golden anniversary, bringing a few surprises and some expected developments—just like a marriage. The 911 is perhaps the best example in the automotive world of a car that has managed to stay true to its original vision, even through the addition of AWD, forced induction, fuel injection and water cooling. I’d be shocked if the 100-year anniversary 911 stays so close to the original. Better jump on this anniversary while the 911 is still sucking gasoline.

Can you believe it? Where has this year gone?
I wanted to show you what I am making for co-workers this year for Christmas. Just a little handmade ornament for everyone this year.
I made two paper rosettes using the Tim Holtz Rosette die. I let one expand just a bit and kept the other one very tight so there would be a bit of dimension to them. I glued them back to back and then added this fun sparkly snowflake (dollar store purchase last year) to the very back.
On the front I used a premade K&Co 3-D sticker. Each pack has 6, so I bought two packs and one pack of paper. That makes it a pretty thrifty Christmas gift giving experience for me!!
Just for fun I thought I'd enter this in this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge since the theme is ornaments!
Tomorrow I'll be back to share with you a Blog Hop from Joy's Life Stamps. Can't wait!
such a fun handmade gift, I'm sure your co-workers will love! The tinsel peeking out from behind your rosettes and beautiful cheerful poinsettia center screams sparkly FUN! Thanks for playing along this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments!
AWESOME! So beautiful with so many layers and the perfect details! Thanks for sharing your amazing work with us at Hand Stamped Sentiments!
Oh My Gosh this is amazing! Love all the layers and details you added. This will look so nice on a tree. Thanks for playing with us this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
Your co-workers will LOVE this ornament!! Watch out!!! They will all want one!! VERY nice job with all the detail and color!! Thank you for participating with Hand Stamped Sentiments!!! Amy L.
Wow, Susie, this is so pretty. I'd say WAY better than any store bought ornament for sure. Your co-workers will love it. I like the layering especially how you layered the rosettes. Great idea!! Thank you for joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
Oh my goodness Susie... this is stunning! I can't imagine anyone not being ecstatic to receive one of these! Thanks so much for playing with us at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week! Hope to see you again!
Wow, really pretty! I love the subtle sparkle and the great traditional colors. The shape is really fun too! Thanks for playing at Hand Stamped Sentiments!

I want to summarize my experiences of Medinfo2013 – and what’s a better way than doing it in a blog post to share with everyone interested? Naturally the post will reflect on the issues I was most interested in. Since the impressive program had 8 (sometimes even 10!) parallel sessions it was difficult to choose, and impossible to attend to everything interesting. But social media nerds as yours truly could always multitask and get some insight in what was going on in parallel sessions as well (as long as someone was tweeting from them!). I hope that even more tweeps will attend Medinfo2015 in Brazil (considering that they aim to enable more people to follow the conference from a distance by streaming sessions, I have high hopes they will have a good plan for more interactive tools as well)!
For me, the conference had 3 main themes (I’m sure for someone else it had many different, this is what I focused on and took with me).
What is the Patient’s role in e-health/medical informatics?
A major part of Medinfo2013 for me was about patients (and/or citizens? persons? individuals?) and how we study/involve/view/consider them when designing e-health. This was not only because of my part in a workshop called “Experiences of Novel e-Health Services for Patients – Pros, Cons and Future Challenges” which I live-tweeted and had great fun during – but also because there were vivid discussions ongoing in different fora through out the conference. My stand point on this is fairly clear – I believe that we NEED to actively involve the end-users of any tool/service that we design throughout the development process (not just during testing). This is regardless of whether they are healthcare professionals, patients, or family carers. There is however a tendency to speak for others in this field – we are all patients in some respect, and knowing what the care process looks like from one perspective (that of the healthcare provider) gives us all the information we need. I completely disagree with this – using healthcare professionals as proxy for patients can get you in real trouble!
One group of patients/people remains very important to me, ever since I wrote my PhD thesis in the field, and that is our elderly, seniors, older persons – whatever you want to call them. I was happy to see a few presentations on the topic (did not attend all of them at the conference) and even more happy to talk to many fellow researchers in Australia working with elderly care, e.g. Andrew Georgiou and Elin Lehnbom from UNSW . It was a real inspiration – hope to work more in this field in the future!
Social media – danger or opportunity?
Since I have become quite the twitter-addict lately and have seen many examples of how social media can be used in a positive way (both for research, information sharing and support) I attended a few sessions on the topic. To my surprise, many had a very warning touch to them… for example, a panel entitled “Social Media for More Patient-Centered, Cost-Effective Healthcare Delivery” almost exclusively discussed legal issues and what you can and cannot say and do on social media as a healthcare provider or professional. Interesting, but not really what I was looking for… I realize that these issues are important – but I would have liked to hear more about opportunities – especially from a health informatics point of view! There were however many other sessions on social media that I missed out on, so I will go through the proceedings and see if I can get a more diverse perspective.
For me personally, I had great fun tweeting throughout the conference, and I think that this is a great way to create a discussion with the “world outside research”. Health (or medical) informatics is a field that interest so many diverse stakeholders and only a very limited number attend these types of conferences. So it’s been great sharing some of my reflections and thoughts with a greater audience!
Education – a changing field for health informatics?
Finally, I attended a few sessions on education. Since I spend a lot of my time teaching at the international Master program in Health Informatics here at KI, I really looked forward to being inspired on how to improve. There were a lot more sessions on eduction than I have seen before at Medinfo, and I only attended a few – so again, a browse through the proceedings will be great. I was however inspired both by talks on MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and I will definitely take a look at the materials on Health Informatics out there (e.g. at the Health Informatis Forum). I was also inspired by how others have used blogs for students to reflect on their learning throughout practical work, and the idea of the “flipped classroom” – something I have been considering for one of my courses… we’ll see.
That will have to be all for now – back to writing papers, grading exams, and involving end-users!

In the aftermath of the much vaunted entrance and subsequent departure of the Sudanese president, Omar al-Bashir who had come into South Africa for the African Union summit that was held in Johannesburg recently, a member of the ruling African National Congress in South Africa has labelled the International Criminal Court ” a dangerous tool in the hands of the powerful to destroy the weak.
Speaking on a local radio station, Talk Radio 702, the ANC Secretary General, Gwede Mantashe said that the International Criminal Court was busy focusing on countries that were largely in Africa with some few exceptions in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. In his defence of the decision taken by the Jacob Zuma Administration not to arrest the Sudanese leader, Mantashe said that, in his opinion, South Africa should have nothing to do with the court as he felt that it was dangerous. He added that, “If I was in government, I would say give notice, get out of that, it was not what was envisioned. It is a tool in the hands of the powerful to destroy the weak and it is a court that is focusing on Africa, Eastern Europe and Middle East,” confirming what had earlier been speculated that the South African government had granted legal immunity to Bashir in order for him to attend the AU Summit.
This follows a case whereby the President Bashir had been invited to attend the AU summit. According to local media, the ANC administration had issued an official invitation to Bashir to attend the AU Summit. However, as soon as the Sudanese president stepped onto South African land, there was a huge uproar on the international scene and the International Criminal Court called on the South African government to arrest him. In addition, the North Gauteng High Court ruled that Bashir should not leave the country until the court had decided on whether South Africa needed to arrest him on behalf of ICC.

Robert L. Hetzel, The Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve: A History. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2008. xvi + 390 pp. $50 (cloth), ISBN: 978-0-521-88132-6.
Reviewed for EH.NET by Gary Richardson, Department of Economics, University of California ? Irvine.
The Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve: A History by Robert Hetzel studies the evolution of monetary policy from the beginning of the Federal Reserve until the end of the Greenspan Era. The title claims the book is a history, and it is that, but it is much more. As a history, Hetzel?s book details the conduct of monetary policy over nearly ninety years, and sets that conduct in the context of the intellectual and political environment of the time. As an economic synthesis, Hetzel?s book views the evolution of monetary policies as a series of experiments useful for understanding fundamental issues concerning money, prices, and macroeconomic policy. The past serves as a laboratory for understanding the present. The emergence of modern monetary policy and prospects for our nation?s financial future are understood by studying the learning-curve of the leaders of the Federal Reserve, the painful process of replacing the gold standard with a fiat money standard, and the recurrent monetary instability during the decades following the Second World War.
Enough for the sales pitch. Let me get to the details.
The book contains 26 chapters and an appendix listing the data that the FOMC saw during the ?stop-go? period from 1963 to 1982. Chapter 3, ?From Gold to Fiat Money,? examines policy from the founding of the Federal Reserve System in 1913 through the end of the Great Depression. Chapters 4 and 9 examine the creation of the postwar monetary system (note that one of my few suggestions to the author would have been to place most of the material in Chapter 9 in the fourth chapter). Chapters 10 through 14 discuss the Great Inflation of the 1970s, Volcker?s disinflation at the tail end of the 1970s and beginning of the next decade, and monetary policies during the early 1980s. Chapters 15 through 25 focus on monetary policies during the Greenspan Era. The distribution of time across chapters reveals the focus of the book, which is largely on postwar monetary policy and particularly on recent decades. As a student of the Great Depression, I desired more analysis of earlier decades, but I realize that the author?s research and experience make his insights on the later decades more valuable, and believe that his decisions about emphasis and pacing reflect carefully considered judgments about his marginal product. In other words, he made sensible choices about where he should devote his time and attention.
A strength of the book is its integrative chapters, including Chapters 1, 2, 23, and 26. These shed light on broad policy issues that cut across time and elaborate on his insight that monetary policy during the twentieth century consisted of a series of policy experiments whose outcomes we are just beginning to understand.
Chapter 1 examines the evolution of the monetary standard. It points out the importance of this issue. Monetary instability coincided with social upheaval and political disorder throughout the twentieth century. An example is the rise of Nazism in Germany after the hyperinflation of the 1920s and during the depression of the 1930s. The success of society in the twenty-first century may depend on whether societies learn the lessons from the twentieth century. ?One of the ?grand? monetary experiments of the last century was the replacement of the gold standard with a fiat money standard.?
Initially, central banks did not understand their new powers and responsibilities, and failed to provide a nominal anchor for prices. Keynesian economists tried to exploit expectations of price stability and fine tune the economy. Their stop-go aggregate demand management led to gradually increasing inflation during the 1950s and 1960s and the spectacular monetary failures of the 1970s. Eventually, central banks realized the importance of nominal anchoring, and adopted policies that promoted price stability. This period coincided with Paul Volcker and Alan Greenspan?s reigns over the Federal Reserve. From this experience, the author concludes that ?The central bank cannot predictably manipulate real variables ? real money or unemployment. It can control trend inflation, but it must do so through consistent (rule-like) behavior that creates the expectation of unchanging trend inflation.?
Chapter 2 continues the overview of the monetary experiments of the twentieth century and the author?s conclusions. The chapter discusses disagreements over the nature of monetary policy and the political advantages of policy ambiguity relative to the confusion that ambiguity causes about the appropriate role for monetary policy.
Chapter 26 summarizes ?a century of monetary experiments.? The chapter emphasizes three key lessons. (1) Inflation and deflation are monetary phenomenon. In a world with fiat money, the behavior of the central bank determines the level and rate of change of prices. (2) To stabilize inflation, central banks must maintain a consistent and credible policy designed to fight inflation. (3) The government must allow the price system to operate and relative prices to allocate resources among competing opportunities.
Overall, I find Hetzel?s book cogent and comprehensive. Hetzel participated in many of the monetary experiments that he describes. His seminal innovation is the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) program. Returns on half of these securities are fixed in nominal terms. Returns on the other half are indexed to the price level. The difference in the prices of these securities provides a market measure of expected inflation, providing the Federal Reserve with the information it needs to establish a nominal anchor for the price level. The importance of this innovation and the quality of Hetzel?s book insure that it will be widely read for many years to come.

Who does not like to have a good phone or a fine quality tablet or ipad for their use. These are the new gadgets that have become a mark of need. They are a necessity for everyone. People try to buy the latest of the gadgets for themselves so that they stay up to date with the upcoming technology. But the most important part here is the protection of these gadgets. They are made after severe tests yet they need some protection so that they last the longest. This is not the sole reason of protecting the gadgets but another very important reason is this that these gadgets are extremely expensive and if you prefer buying the latest version of any smartphone or tablet they will cost you very much as that technology is new and scarce people have it. Hence it is very important that you keep your phones and other things safe with the help of a tempered glass screen protector which will help you to keep the screens free of scratches as this is a sheet of tempered glass that has adhesive features thereby sticks to the screen of your phone or any other gadget that has screen and will provide you a clean platform for working.
Another very important point that comes to a mind of normal person is this that what is tempered glass basically? Well the best response to that can be this that tempered glass is a glass that is made under certain controlled conditions, mixtures of chemicals and thermal treatment to increase its capacity of strength. There is a whole process of heating and cooling of the glass to make it strong so that it can be compressed and made best fit for your phone so that the screen of your phone or tablet is safe from any harm.
These protectors hold immense significance due to multiple reasons. They protect the screen of your phone or tablet which is very brittle and a very expensive part of the gadget as it is the main medium through which you operate the whole device. Thereby it is very important that these screens are protected from scratches and cracks before it reaches its last stage of complete breakage due to any reason. But you have a choice between a plastic sheet screen protector and tempered glass screen protector. You can choose either of them but why is it advised to buy these tempered glass screen protectors is due to the reason that they are better then these plastic screen protectors. These tempered glass protectors do not break easily by falling on the ground or it does not get scratches easily by excessive use. Moreover these tempered glass screen protectors cover the screen completely giving an edge in protection unlike these plastic screen protectors. The material used to make these tempered glass screen protector is thicker and strong which gives it the power to protect the screen from any kind of damage. These tempered glass screen protectors are more durable and reliable as compared to the plastic screen protectors which is why it is the priority of tech mates. Furthermore these glass protectors give you the real touch feeling that is it does not look like that you are using a phones screen through some protector rather it looks like the screen of the phone itself. To add more to its qualities it is easier to clean these glass protectors as they are smudge free which makes them crystal clear and best for use. These tempered glass protectors have a matte finish which makes the outdoor visibility easier for the user as they are made with such care. Moreover these tempered glass protectors have the sharpness and clarity which provides you with the best platform to use your phone anywhere anytime you like without any hinderence as the high quality tempered glass would not hinder the image display or its output quality or even the colors contrast is not effected rather they stay the same and come out more clearly and sharply with these glass protectors.

When you've written as many columns as I have over 25 years, you're bound to have some favorites. One of the nice things about having this blog is that I occasionally get to bring one of those columns back and run it here.
Friday wasn't the first day of spring, but it felt like it.
Long before I reached the Fahy Bridge, I had taken off my windbreaker and tied it around my waist. A balmy breeze riffled the glittering surface of the Lehigh River as I walked toward South Bethlehem. I turned my face up to the sun; it felt wonderful after weeks of rain.
On a spring day like this, you can feel the world coming back to life.
I strolled through the parking lot of the high-tech Bethlehem Technology Center and climbed down the bank and across the railroad tracks. Then I set off east along the river -- into a place so gloomy that even spring couldn't touch it.
There was a day when the grea steel plant along the Lehigh River armed our nation for world wars, built great skyscrapers, bridged huge bodies of water. Its success spilled over into the city from which it took its name and the surrounding area, spawning mansions and country clubs for its leaders and a hard-fought but fine standard of living for thousands of workers. Around the world, its H-beam symbol was synonymous with power and prosperity.
In one of the most powerful scenes from the post-war classic movie, "The Best Years of Our Lives," a war hero walks through a field full of scrapped airplanes. Unable to find a decent job, his personal life in shambles, he climbs into the cockpit of one of the planes he had flown not so long before -- and remembers what it was like to soar into the heavens and help change the world.
It must be a little bit like that for an old steelworker in this place.
I walked on. Geese honked in protest at my approach and scrambled down the rocks to the river. They were the only signs of life until a lazy old freight train squealed into sight from the west. It overtook me, cutting off my view of the plant's remains.
Every so often, I looked behind me for the end of it, but the train seemed endless. I peeked between the cars and over them. Someone had scrawled DEAD on two pipes high above the ground.
The endless train slowed and stopped, and the place was utterly silent again. As I kept walking, I finally saw the only signs of human life at work in the plant -- a few workers for Brandenburg Industrial Service Co., employed to clean up hazardous materials, tear down many of the old buildings along the four-mile site and prepare it for reuse.
I passed the first car of the stopped train and continued under the Minsi Trails Bridge, pausing to listen to the traffic rumbling overhead. There was no walkway up to the bridge; I turned around to return.
That's where I noticed the graffiti written in the rusty metal of plant debris. "THE END IS NEAR!" it said.
In fact, it had arrived. A few miles away, employees at the Coke Works were working their final shifts as that operation -- the last of the company's local operating units -- was shut down.
In a sense, this was Bethlehem Steel's last day in the city.
From the east came the sound of another train. It was only four cars long; brighter and newer than the big, slow freight train stopped in front of the steel plant.
The smaller train rolled past. And kept going.

St. Dominic’s is a Catholic parish inspired by Dominican spirituality igniting faith for the salvation of souls.
and promoting apostolic activities within the Parish and the Universal Church.
St. Dominic’s Rectory was built in 1956 and the old Seminary dormitory was torn down. In March of 1961, St. Dominic’s Parochial School was opened on the corner of 5th and East J Streets. This school is still in operation today. A committed community of parents, teachers, staff, and church congregation support its development. Together, St. Dominic’s Church and School provide a strong spiritual and academic presence in a growing Benicia.
Perpetual Adoration ensures the 24-hour continuous adoration of our Lord Jesus Christ who is truly present body, blood, soul, and divinity in the Holy Eucharist. Parishioners are encouraged to have a regular scheduled weekly hour of adoration. All parishioners are invited to stop in unannounced for adoration during the daytime hours.
The Garden of Hope is intended to offer a quiet place to reflect on the hope and healing that flows from the infinite love of our Lord. The garden is located at the northwest corner of the church, adjacent to the schoolyard, in a shaded area of the property. The design is centered around a memorial wall and water feature surrounded by a series of raised planters which hold flowers, symbolizing the beauty of life. The memorial wall in the garden is a visible sign that offers hope and healing for hearts broken by abortion or miscarriage. If you would like to have a leaf dedicated of a deceased infant please call the office. This beautiful sacramental garden provides us all the opportunity to come and sit among the flowers and fountains and reflect on God’s love and peace.
In the early 13th century a Spanish priest named Dominic de Guzman, while traveling with his bishop, encountered the Cathar heresy spreading through southern France. Cathars believed that the physical world was evil. They denied the incarnation of Christ, the efficacy of the Sacraments and the goodness of creation. St. Dominic recognized the need for educated and prayerful men to preach the truth of the Gospel to Cathars and bring them back to Christ.
Gathering a band of 16 preachers, he founded the Order of Preachers in Toulouse, France, in 1216. In his approval of this new Order, Pope Honorius III noted that the need for educated apostolic preaching extended beyond the region of southern France. Within a year, St. Dominic split his band of brothers and sent them into Spain and northern France for further education and to continue the work of preaching the Gospel. By the time of his death in 1221, there were more than 200 Dominican Friars living and preaching throughout Europe. In the centuries that followed, the Order spread to Africa, Asia and the Americas. Today, there are more than 5,000 Dominican Friars. They continue the mission begun by St. Dominic of preaching everywhere the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is done with fullness of mind and openness both to the Spirit of God and to the hearts of those to whom the word of God is being preached.
In 1850, the first Dominicans came to the west coast of the United States during the California Gold Rush. Fr. Peter Augustine Anderson, OP. celebrated the first Catholic Mass in the goldfields and established the first parish in what became the city of Sacramento. During this time, the city of San Francisco became the seat of a new diocese. The first bishop selected in 1850 was the co-founder of the Western Dominican Province, Fr. Joseph Alemany, OP. Presently, there are 150 Dominicans assigned to 18 communities in the western US and Mexico. The friars have houses in every major city in the West extending north to south from Anchorage, Alaska to San Diego, California and east to Salt Lake City, Utah. The province is formally called The Province of the Most Holy Name of Jesus.
For almost 160 years, St. Dominic’s has maintained a strong spiritual and academic presence in the once-state-capital town of Benicia, California. In 1854, the Dominican priest, Fr. Francis Vilarrasa, sailed from Monterey, where he had founded Santo Domingo Monastery, to the thriving city of Benicia. After arriving on March 16, 1854, the Dominican community occupied the property bound by East I and J between 4th and 5th Streets as a Dominican Seminary. In August of the same year, Mother Mary, who had made the first journey with Fr. Vilarrasa from Rome, arrived from Monterey with other Sisters and some resident students to set up school in Benicia. She bought several frame buildings in the hollow at the north end of 1st Street where she founded St. Catherine’s School. The Seminary grew and prospered with the building of St. Dominic’s Church, which was dedicated in 1890. In the early 1930’s, the Seminary and House of Studies were moved elsewhere. St. Catherine’s, however, was in continuous operation for more than a century until 1966, when ten of its buildings were demolished. The Solano shopping center now occupies the site. St. Dominic’s Rectory was built in 1956 and the old seminary dormitory was torn down. In March of 1961, St. Dominic’s Parochial School was opened on the corner of 5th and East J Streets. This school is still in operation today. A committed community of parents, teachers, staff, and church congregation support its development. Together, St. Dominic’s Church and School provide a strong spiritual and academic presence in a growing Benicia.
Fr. Francis Sadoc Vilarrasa y Costa, O.P. was born August 9, 1814 in Catalonia, Spain. He entered the Dominicans at the age of 15 and was ordained May 16, 1837. After volunteering for the American missions and laboring for five years in the Province of St. Joseph (eastern Province) with Fr. Joseph Alemany, OP, he was invited by the new Bishop Alemany to accompany him to California. Pope Pius IX had given Fr. Alemany, who attempted to resign as Bishop, a clear mandate: “You must go to California: there is no alternative, where others are drawn by gold, you must go to carry the Cross. God will assist you.” On July 18, 1850, the Province of the Holy Name of God was established with Bishop Alemany as first Provincial and Fr. Vilarrasa was assigned to the missions of California. After establishing the Convent of St. Dominic in Monterey, Fr. Vilarrasa came to Benicia. On March 17, 1854, Fr. Vilarrasa celebrated his first Mass in Benicia. The city had a church built, but it had a debt of two thousand dollars and was not consecrated. The Dominicans moved to Benicia March 31, 1854. In 1855, they built the convent and enlarged it the next year. They incurred a debt of seventeen thousand dollars and paid it off over a period of fourteen years. Finally in 1857, Fr. Vilarrasa had the joy of seeing two of his novices ordained to the priesthood. Fr. Vilarrasa describes the situation in some detail: “In order that I might the easier provide for the spread of the Order… I transferred the convent of Monterey to Benicia by a letter dated March 31, 1854. Benicia is a small city located on the straits of the Sacramento River which are called Carquinez, and is a distance of twenty-seven English miles from the city of San Francisco. This city was founded in the year 1847 by the Mexican general, Señor Mariano Vallejo, who gave it the name of his wife, Benicia…There already then existed at Benicia a church recently built and intended for a parish but not at all finished and furthermore burdened with a debt of two thousand dollars. This the Archbishop gave to the Order. We built a very humble house without cells, such as we had at Monterey, and for this purpose the Archbishop assisted us with a sum of five hundred dollars. Before the beginning of the year 1859, thanks to the donations of the faithful of the city of Benicia, who, though few in number and destitute of the goods of fortune, nevertheless excel in generosity, the church was completed, a sacristy had been added together with a choir behind the altar, and all the debts were paid. There was then [in 1854] committed to our Brethren the care of the parishes of Benicia and Martinez, which latter is a town situated across the Sacramento River almost opposite Benicia. There was already a small church there under the title of St. Catherine of Siena. Both parishes then embraced a vast territory. The Church of Benicia was solemnly blessed by the Archbishop under the title of our holy Father Dominic on June 18, 1854.” Why did Fr. Vilarrasa come to Benicia? In the 1850s, Benicia blossomed from a town to a thriving city. Two major factors in the growth were (1) the establishment of the Benicia Arsenal; and (2) it lay on the direct water route between San Francisco and the gold fields beyond Sacramento. With the presence of the military and their families and the continual influx of “the forty-niners”, the city expanded in population and activity. Because of this, it was for a short time, the capital of the state. Even though the capital moved to Sacramento and the gold fields diminished in favor of the silver mines of Nevada, the completion of the railroads and the success of the Benicia-Martinez Ferry system ensured the continued growth and development of the community. In this way, Benicia was a natural place to locate the missionary and preaching efforts of the Order. With regard to his person, biographers describe Fr. Vilarrasa as a dark, rather short, man who wore glasses in his later years. In fact, his diminutive stature often required him to use a bench in order to be seen when he read or preached from the lectern. Once when he was reading the Gospel of John, he quoted Jesus: “A little while and you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me.” At that precise moment his footing shifted, his center of gravity unbalanced, and he fell off the bench. Demonstration can be a powerful form of sermon! In the following years, the Dominicans established parishes up and down the California Delta, e.g., Vallejo, Port Costa, Crockett, Antioch, Brentwood and Walnut Creek. With St. Dominic, Benicia as the Mother Church, the Dominicans formed a base from which the holy preaching effectively reached the developing delta area. Fr. Vilarrasa died on March 17, 1888, thirty four years to the day of his first Mass in Benicia, fifty years a priest, fifty-seven years in religious life, and seventy-three years of age. Fr. Vilarrasa was a different kind of missionary. He realized the importance of friars to be grounded in prayer. As Prior, Superior, or Provincial, he established houses of strict observance. He was a lone friar in a foreign land when he landed with Bishop Alemany and Sr. Mary Goemare. He persevered through many hardships, but saw to it that Dominicans would be in the West to pra ise, to bless, and to preach. For almost 160 years, St. Dominic’s has maintained a strong spiritual and academic presence in the once-state-capital town of Benicia, California. In 1854, the Dominican priest, Fr. Francis Vilarrasa, sailed from Monterey, where he had founded Santo Domingo Monastery, to the thriving city of Benicia.

Together, St. Dominic’s Church and School provide a strong spiritual and academic presence in a growing Benicia.
A nonprofit, tax exempt trust established to receive, manage, and expend funds exclusively for the restoration, repair, and maintenance of St. Dominic’s Church as a historical landmark. St. Dominic’s Church has been given landmark status by the City of Benicia, and is listed in the Historic American Buildings Survey. Memorial gifts are welcome, and all gifts to the trust are acknowledged.

This is my sister’s recipe and it is a big hit in our family. It takes a little while to make because there is a lot of chopping involved but it is absolutely delicious. The ingredients can be altered to suit your own personal taste preferences. The key is that ALL ingredients must be chopped in SMALL pieces. It can easily feed 6-8 people.
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Add pepper and dressing (we use Marie’s ranch dressing).
This is a very easy and fast go-to dinner from Dana Carpender. The recipe is for a single serving and has no more than 2 carbs (depending on your pizza or spaghetti sauce).
Cook the burger by your preferred method. When it’s almost done to your liking, top with pizza sauce, then mozzarella. Cook until cheese is melted and serve.
This is an easy recipe adapted from djfoodie.com. D.J. uses his own Caesar dressing, but I just used Marie’s Creamy Caesar. I also skipped the grilling of chicken step in this recipe as I already had some cooked chicken leftovers. 🙂 Servings: 6. Net carbs: 2.58 per serving.
In a large salad bowl, mix together the salad dressing, romaine lettuce and croutons. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Coat your chicken breasts with the oil and evenly season with salt and pepper.
Divide your salad onto 6 plates.
Slice your chicken and place on top of each salad.
This is another great recipe from djfoodie.com. While D.J. used his own low-carb bread recipe, I cheated and used Chompie’s low-carb bread. These came out great! Servings total 12, and there are .96 grams of net carbs (using D.J.’s low-carb bread). I think it would be very close to the same carb count using Chompie’s. I added these little cubes of deliciousness on Chicken Caesar salad (another djfoodie.com recipe that I will be adding to my blog).
Over medium-low heat, melt the butter in a saute pan. While the butter is still melting, add the minced garlic.
Add the bread and saute, seasoning with a little salt and pepper.
Saute until the bread is nice and golden brown.
Once they are golden brown and cooked to the desired doneness, remove them from the heat and spread them on paper towels. Spread them evenly, so they don’t steam one another.
Let them cool completely, before using or packaging.

The legendary portrait photographer, Michael Randolph had known The Rolling Stones since the early 1960s and on 11 December 1968, following an invitation by the group’s founding member, Brian Jones, he was able to visit the set of their latest venture, a big-top-themed concert which went by the name of The Rolling Stones’ Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus. The black & white images he took that day, over 200 in total, would become totally iconic.
Known for his excellent images of leading ladies such as Sophia Loren, Vanessa Redgrave, Dame Edith Evans and for his superb, behind-the-scenes photographs taken during the making of James Bond’s You Only Live Twice, Michael Caine’s Deadfall, and Simon Ward’s Young Winston, Randolph was the only recognised photographer at the event which, unbeknown to everyone at the time, would become the last time that some of the decade’s most famous and celebrated musical stars would gather to play together under one UK roof.
Legendary performers of the day, including Beatle, John Lennon, Cream guitarist, Eric Clapton, The Who, Marianne Faithfull, Jethro Tull (featuring Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi on guitar) as well as The Rolling Stones themselves were all captured by Randolph in pin-sharp quality. He managed to eavesdrop on them relaxing, rehearsing, and philosophising and witnessed first-hand, and up-close the performances, highlights of which included the “super group”, Dirty Mac, which comprised of Lennon, Clapton, Jimi Hendrix Experience’s drummer, Mitch Mitchell and The Stones’ Keith Richards. The Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus was also the last time that Brian Jones was seen strumming his guitar in public. The years had not treated him well and he could hardly play anymore… and it showed. The images Randolph captured that day, in jaw-dropping quality, show him weary and lethargic.
In the Fall of 2014 music historian, archivist and author, Keith Badman approached Randolph with an idea to dust-down his most prized snaps and allow digital restoration for a definitive publication of the event. Alongside Michael’s spellbinding collection of black and white images, there is also a selection of colour photographs depicting the event.
This inspired and insightful book is co-written by Keith Badman and designer, artist and author Paul Skellett. This beautiful publication will feature many tales about the show; how 5-year-old, Julian Lennon, on the set that day with his dad and Yoko, was introduced to ‘Pot’; the anger and frustration by the performers when the innovative French movie cameras employed on the set kept packing up, how the fledgling Led Zeppelin was passed over as the opening act in favour of Jethro Tull and how the film shot that day went missing and was not found until 1989, 21 years after the event, languishing in band mate, Ian Stewart’s barn propped against some bales of hay, on the verge of being thrown out.

UKIPT Nottingham gets under way this week inside the ample surroundings of Dusk Till Dawn‘s poker room and when the £1,000 Main Event kicks off those in attendance will be able to enjoy a 6-max format.
It's not often that the short-handed structure is available in the live arena and the organisers are hoping that it will appeal to a number of professional online grinders looking for a lucrative end to their year.
Moreover, this is the first time in UKIPT‘s history that the Nottingham Main Event will seat a maximum of six players, so the organisers are also hoping to offer the tour's regulars something different to enjoy.
One thing that is clear is that the new format will certainly provide a new level of action when things get under way on Wednesday.
Last season Robert Baguley took down the Main Event and scooped £210,400 and, when the festival takes places between November 27 and December 4, it's expected that more than 1,500 players will take to the felt.

Early childhood education at a Mesa preschool gives your children a powerful head start.
Formal education, starting with an early childhood education at a preschool in Mesa positively impacts the development of your child. This means that the earlier you introduce your child to formal education, the more you increase their chances of developing holistically. This will also allow your child to maximize their potentials later in life. Early childhood education is geared towards helping your child acquire cognitive, social, and language skills. These skills will help your child develop intellectually as well as emotionally. You will also allow your child to establish a firm foundation that will help them master their school subjects, as well as quickly acquire learning skills, during their kindergarten and K-12 years.
Children start to learn a language, and also acquire some basic life skills after their second birthday. Therefore, if you still engage your three-year old toddler in baby talk, instead of teaching him or her proper language; then you are denying your child an opportunity to develop proper communication skills. It is much better for you to enroll your child to a daycare center that offers early childhood education. Nevertheless, you must also ensure that the daycare center uses an approved curriculum as the curricula of daycare centers determine the quality of education they offer. Your child is unlikely to benefit from low quality early childhood education, because he or she will be unable to acquire the right cognitive, social, and communication skills; and this will negatively impact their future education. Research has also shown that low quality early childhood education is associated with acquisition of violent tendencies by toddlers, and this inhibits their social development. It is therefore important for you to check the quality of early childhood education offered by the daycare institution that you intent to enroll your child in.
Parents also benefit from enrolling their children to daycare centers. To begin with, you can easily manage your child as you share some of your parenting responsibilities with your daycare teachers. Moreover, if you are a single mother, enrolling your child to a daycare center will allow you to continue working as normal, and you will be relieved to know that your child is being taken care of by the center. This also reduces the stress associated with rearing toddlers.
So start your kid out right. Enroll them in a preschool in Mesa.
