Roanoke-based Wisler Plumbing and Air offer a range of plumbing & HVAC services, including drain cleanouts, pipe leakage repairs, heating fixes, and more
We have used Wisler plumbing ever since we bought our house and have loved our experience every single time with no exception! I highly recommend Wisler!”
— Cheyne Pizzino
ROANOKE, VA, UNITED STATES, January 23, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Several components, including plumbing, facilitate a building’s hassle-free working. It is unlikely for any commercial or residential property to be functional even for 24 hours if it does not have access to clean and continuous water. The absence of a wastewater disposal outlet can also cause problems. A well-functioning plumbing system is also essential to health and hygiene. Issues with a building’s plumbing can result in water backup, clogged pipes, and other problems. Sometimes these issues appear minor as they begin showing up, but gradually, the odds are that they can prompt a calamity, especially if they go undetected or are left unattended! The same goes for HVAC problems. An under-maintained HVAC system can cause many unwanted issues in day-to-day life. Residential and commercial property owners in Roanoke City frequently seek skilled plumbers and HVAC experts like Wisler Plumbing and Air for routine maintenance and plumbing repairs to steer clear of issues like these.
Treating clogged and congested drain pipes with essential, locally available drain cleaners have been common. However, water backup or obstruction in the drains is not always a do-it-yourself job – it requires a bit more than that when it comes to the longevity and maintenance of pipes. Gradual waste accumulation in drains and pipes can slow down a system significantly before it becomes completely blocked. Clogged drain lines are possible for sanitation systems in Roanoke homes and buildings, but drain cleaners aren’t always the best answer. They usually contain harsh chemicals that eat away at the waste and debris clogging the lines and the pipes themselves. These chemical-based drainage cleaners can potentially harm pipes and, in turn, the entire plumbing system with just a few applications – not to mention the effects of the chemicals on the local water supply! Plumbers in and around Roanoke, like Wisler Plumbing and Air, provide a stronger solution that lasts longer.
The experienced plumbers at Wisler Plumbing and Air know how to restore clogged drains and can easily unblock long-term pipe congestion without using harmful chemicals. Additionally, such contractors also offer regular plumbing maintenance services such as sewer and primary line repair, toilet installation and repair, garbage disposal repair, and more. This ensures that the plumbing and drainage system in any residential and commercial building remains swift and can function with a free flow.
“We have used Wisler plumbing ever since we bought our house and have loved our experience every single time with no exception! Today Mike did an excellent inspection for us and was extremely professional and courteous. He was thorough and explained everything satisfactorily and let us know some things that need to be taken care of. I highly recommend Wisler!”
Another major plumbing concern is leakage. Many severe problems stem from a basic pipe leakage and can eventually become bigger, such as warped wooden flooring, mold growth, water accumulation, stained walls, etc. A leaky pipe can affect the entire internal system of a building and cost a lot of money to fix, even if it initially damages only a few small areas like walls, floors, and ceilings. Homes and commercial buildings in Roanoke are also at risk from dripping faucets, which are frequently brought on by internal sink leaks. A dripping sink provides the perfect environment for mold growth, along with causing damage to flooring. Along with the physical factors of a building, a dripping sink frequently increases water bills as well.
Besides a plumbing problem, one primary concern regarding a building system can commonly be the HVAC system. The city has a diverse climate and can become extremely warm and humid in the summer season, with cold and snowy winters. This makes it vital for the heating and cooling system to work year-round. Many HVAC Service Roanoke-based companies offer frequent maintenance and cleaning jobs between peak seasons. Professional HVAC Roanoke VA contractors such as Wisler Plumbing and Air provide heat installation, repair, and replacement services to ensure any property is ready to go go through the winter. Whereas the air conditioning and AC repair services such companies offer make summers easier.
Companies offering commercial plumbing and HVAC in Roanoke can address these problems if building owners can identify and hire a good company. Service providers in the industry need to have enough experience and a license to help reverse or prevent a disaster waiting to happen in the form of a leaky pipe, broken heating, or old ducting. Wisler Plumbing and Air have a team of professional plumbers and heating & AC experts qualified to handle any job that falls under their belt. They have the most recent technology and tools to find the problem quickly and fix it, helping customers avoid damage and higher costs in the future.

Ranging from the bathrooms to the kitchen, piping to whole-house re-piping, leaks to noises, water treatment to water testing, heating to cooling, local service providers such as Wisler Plumbing and Air. in Roanoke get the job done!

Year 12 | 19 February 2020 | email@example.com
In 2010, sales of over 8000 seed enterprises in China reached RMB 29.8 billion, up 4.9% from a year earlier. Only about 100 biological feeding enterprises are capable of R&D independently, but they seem inferior when compared with the R&D capability of foreign counterparts. With the issuance of related polices concerning Chinese seed industry in 2011, the State will lay emphasis on supporting the enterprises integrating breeding, reproduction and promotion, and industry concentration will be continuously improved in the future by eliminating or merging those small seed businesses.
Hybrid-maize and hybrid-rice are the two mature applications of biotechnology in China.
Concerning hybrid maize, the two main varieties include Zhengdan 958 and Xianyu335. In 2009, the area planted for Zhengdan 958 registered 68.1 million mu, covering about 30% of maize sowed area countrywide. Wanxiang Doneed Co., Ltd. is representative producer of Zhengdan 958. Meanwhile, the planted area of Xianyu 335 increased by 107.4% YoY to 16.92 million mu, which was mainly ascribed to Xianyu 335’s merits like high sprouting ratio, low moisture content, and lodging resistance. Shandong Denghai Seeds Co., Ltd. and Gansu Dunhuang Seed Co., Ltd are the main producers of Xianyu335.
As for hybrid rice, it only occupies less than half of the total area planted for rice in China, as its taste is not so good as conventional rice although with high yield and good resistance. In China, key enterprises producing hybrid rice seed include Yuan Long Ping High-TechAgriculture Co., Ltd., Hefei Fengle Seed Co., Ltd., Grand Agriseeds Technology Inc. and Beijing DBN Technology Group Co., Ltd. etc.

In the Wildpark Knüll wildlife park, one can meet not only the much vilified "bad" wolf of the famous fairy tale, but also howl along with the "good" wolves in the Wolf Night, or listen to the fairy another time.
Knüllwalder Historical Tidbits
Apart from legendary churches in Rengshausen and Remsfeld (Wichtelkirche) with uncovered paintings from the early 16th century, in other districts fortified churches defy intrustion. The Wallenstein fortress ruin in the Efze valley has an eventful history. It was destroyed in the 30 Years War, and perhaps a reference to the hero of Schiller's drama "Wallenstein".
In the Beise valley, the idyllic course of the river is bordered by centuries-old mills.

A method for providing replies to a dispatch call includes the step of selecting if the response is going to be automatic or manual (110). If automatic response is selected, the voice response that is to be automatically transmitted upon receiving a dispatch call is selected (118). The method also allows for a radio user to record new voice responses (116) which can then be placed in either an automatic or manual response mode. A radio which can provide for responses to a dispatch call includes memory (418) for storing the preprogrammed voice messages that will be used as replies to the dispatch call.

This invention relates in general to the field of radio communications and more specifically to a method and apparatus for providing smart replies to dispatch calls.
In a radio communication system such as the Motorola, Inc. iDEN® (Integrated Digital Enhanced Network) radio communication system, traditional Push-To-Talk (PTT), half-duplex, analog radio technology is combined with full-duplex digital cellular technology. This PTT technology is also referred to as dispatch calling (dispatch calling is also known as Direct Connect™TM) and it splits a single carrier into multiple channels, with one of the channels being used for a dispatch call.
Dispatch calls allow for one user to immediately connect with another user or a group of users (e.g., referred to as private dispatch or group dispatch calls) and have a private conversation with the press of the PTT switch. With dispatch communications, each of the users involved in a dispatch call has to depress the PTT switch on his/her radio to transmit a message to the other dispatch call participants given the half-duplex nature of the communications.
One problem experienced today is that in certain situations, a radio user may not be able to respond to a dispatch call (e.g., currently in a meeting, etc.) or may want to avoid the dispatch call altogether, but yet may want to acknowledge the call and/or explain the reason to the dispatch caller (originating radio) why he/she cannot respond to the dispatch call. When a dispatch call is received, the radio user hears the voice of the caller. Currently, the receiving radio user has no way of letting the originating radio know he/she cannot get to the call. Some radio users have attempted to resolve this problem by the receiving radio user simply pressing and releasing the PTT switch without speaking, which causes a “chirp” to be heard at the originating radio. The chirp, without any voice message, signifies that the radio user has received the dispatch call but cannot respond. Although useful, this “chirp back” technique is limited in use, and does not provide any information to the originating radio as to the reason why the receiving radio cannot respond to the call. A need thus exists in the art for a method and apparatus which can alleviate some of the problems previously mentioned regarding the current lack of response capability when a dispatch call cannot be answered.
The features of the present invention, which are believed to be novel, are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention may best be understood by reference to the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in the several figures of which like reference numerals identify like elements, and in which:
While the specification concludes with claims defining the features of the invention that are regarded as novel, it is believed that the invention will be better understood from a consideration of the following description in conjunction with the drawing figures.
Referring now to
In step 102, the “menu” key on a radio capable of receiving/transmitting dispatch calls (see for example the radio in
In step 110, the radio user can select if he/she wants the radio to automatically answer with a smart reply anytime the radio receives a dispatch call (e.g., individual dispatch call, call alert, etc.). If the auto-answer is selected, in step 118, the radio user selects the smart reply he/she wants to use as the smart reply, and in step 120 the routine is exited. If in step 110, the radio user does not want the radio to automatically respond to a dispatch call or call alert, the radio user does not select the auto-answer in step 110 and the routine exits in step 112. Note that even if the radio user does not select the auto-answer mode, the radio user can still manually provide a smart reply to a dispatch call as will be discussed later.
Although a specific method of selecting the smart replies of the present invention has been discussed in reference to
In order to disable a smart reply mode that was previously selected in
If in step 304 it is determined that the auto response mode is not selected, in step 306, the radio user can manually select from amongst the different pre-stored smart replies, preferably, all of the smart replies have been labeled and the radio user simply has to run down a menu list and select the smart reply he/she wants to be transmitted. In step 308, the user physically initiates a smart reply response by pressing the PTT button on the radio, which causes the previously selected smart reply to be transmitted. In step 306, the user can also select a “no smart reply” menu item in case the radio user does not want any smart reply to be transmitted.
Any automatic smart replies transmitted in step 310 in one embodiment of the invention are reflected in the “recent calls” menu list of the radio and are preferably denoted with a visible indication that a smart reply was transmitted. This will allow the radio user to scroll the “recent calls” list and get back to those callers that got sent a smart reply.
A microphone 414 is provided for converting voice from the user into electrical signals, while a speaker 416 provides audio signals to the user. A vocoder, Analog-to-Digital (A/D) and Digital-to-Analog (D/A) block 412 provides all the necessary digital voice processing for converting analog voice into digital data ready for RF transmission and vice versa. RF modulator/demodulator (transmitter/receiver) block 408 transmits and receives the RF signals via antenna 410.
In another embodiment of the invention, the radio user can select different smart replies for different users, and controller 406 can determine the identification number of the radio that transmitted a dispatch call and cause the selected smart reply to be sent to that radio. This is beneficial in certain situations, such as when a user wants to leave a particular smart reply to a particular person while another smart reply for other people (e.g., send “I will call you back after the meeting” to a specific user and “Out of the Office” to all other users).
By providing for either automatic or manual preprogrammed responses (smart replies) to dispatch calls, the present invention provides for a voice acknowledgement to the dispatch call if the recipient is busy or does not want to take the call. This helps the originator of the dispatch call know that the recipient heard him/her but cannot attend to the call, something that is currently missing in dispatch call environments.
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will be clear that the invention is not so limited. Numerous modifications, changes, variations, substitutions and equivalents will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere “behaves” over relatively long periods of time.
When we talk about climate change, we talk about changes in long-term averages of daily weather. Today, children always hear stories from their parents and grandparents about how snow was always piled up to their waists as they trudged off to school. Children today in most areas of the country haven’t experienced those kinds of dreadful snow-packed winters, except for the Northeastern U.S. in January 2005. The change in recent winter snows indicate that the climate has changed since their parents were young. (Source)

Herman Gundlach Sr. was born in Chicago, IL on Feb. 24, 1877.1 After graduating from Lake View High School in Chicago, Gundlach served as an apprentice and draftsman in an architectural firm there. He was later employed as a journeyman and later a general superintendent by the Paul Mueller Construction Company of Chicago. During his association with Mr. Mueller, their firm constructed a number of important structures in the Chicago area for the famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright.2
In the 1890s, the old Douglass House in Houghton was showing its age and the property was purchased by John C. Mann who financed a total rebuilding program for the hotel.3 In 1897, the Mueller Company sent Gundlach to Houghton as projects manager to build the new Douglass House and to work on other Copper Country structures.2
In 1898, Herman Gundlach, in partnership with Mueller, formed his own Michigan company. Mueller’s role in the partnership would end quickly, however, as he accepted a commission from Frank Lloyd Wright to supervise construction of the famous Imperial Hotel in Japan. Gundlach would choose to remain in the Copper Country. After several years in Tokyo, Mueller would ultimately return to Chicago.2
During the early years of Herman Gundlach, Inc., the company constructed many of the original Michigan Technological University buildings, the Leopold Building in Houghton, and a number of Jobs in southern Michigan and Cleveland, Ohio, including the Cleveland Athletic Club.2 He was an early pioneer in reinforced concrete construction and specialized in this form. He insisted on high-quality workmanship and performance in a scheduled and efficient manner. The great volume of construction completed annually by his firm in the years 1898 to 1945, including schools, hospitals, housing and industrial buildings throughout the entire Upper Peninsula and state of Michigan, testifies to the public confidence in his company’s work. 2
One of Herman Gundlach Sr.’s favorite projects was Northern Michigan University’s Kaye Hall.4 Built in 1915 and housing the gymnasium, auditorium, library, administrative offices, and several classrooms; Kaye Hall quickly became the symbol of Northern and a focal point for student life. It was built of native Marquette sandstone with distinctive reddish and cream markings and the turreted “castle gothic” structures formed the heart of the institution. The building was destroyed in 1972.5
Herman would end up marrying Elvira Alma Zenner in 1903. She was a devout member and ardent worker for the SS Peter and Paul Lutheran Church. She was also an active member of the Dorcas Society and the church’s Altar Guild. 6 Together, they had three daughters, Elvira, Henrietta, and Dorathea, and they welcomed a son, Herman Gundlach Jr., into the world on July 16, 1913. The relationship between Herman Gundlach Sr. and Jr. was described as almost brotherly as they often went hunting and fishing and played many sports together.7
Looking back, it is easy to see that Herman Gundlach Sr. passed on three major passions and pursuits to his son: construction, football, and philanthropy.
As a teen, Herman Gundlach Jr. began working with his father in his construction business when he took a job working on the Otter Lake School project. 7 In 1945, at the end of World War II, he would return from Europe to continue his father’s construction company.
Herman Gundlach Sr., enjoyed a good amount of success playing football. He played with the Chicago Bankers Professional team in 1894 with Yale All-American Pudge Heffunger. The Chicago team played one match in Ishpeming, at which time the invaders from Chicago defeated the famed Ishpeming Rough Riders by a score of 4-0.1 Upon relocating to the Copper Country, and shortly after the turn of the century, Gundlach played for the Portage Lake team managed by Sid Karger and captained by Calumet’s Mart Haas. The team, known as the Portage Lake, played most of the Upper Peninsula Elevens and won a heavy percentage of its matches.1
Herman Gundlach Jr. would also end up playing football, going on to captain the 1934 Harvard team, play with the 1935 College All Star team against the Chicago Bears, and play briefly for the Boston Redskins.
Both father and son were known for their community service and generosity. During the Depression, the Gundlach family made ten to fifteen cents an hour, but some people only made five cents a day. 7 Gundlach Sr. would become instrumental in the organization of relief in Portage Township during the depression days and was President of this group. 6 He also was chairman of the annual drive of the Houghton County Chapter of the American Red Cross for several years. Both Gundlachs served as President of the Houghton Rotary Club and on the Board of Trustees for the Good Will Farm.
Herman Gundlach Sr. passed away in Chicago on June 28, 1945 in the Presbyterian Hospital after an illness of two weeks.1 The following is an excerpt from his obituary:
“Hearts are heavy today for Mr. Gundlach Sr.’s passing has brought genuine sorrow to all who knew and loved him. He was a type of citizen it is so hard to lose and his death is a severe blow to the community and to the district. In all respects, he was an exemplar of the best ideals of citizenship. His irreproachable life, his many friendships, his sympathetic understanding, his genial companionship, and his earnest effort for the furtherance of any worthy cause provide a better eulogy than any friend, however deep his or her respect, could put into words.”6
It’s been over 70 years since Herman Gundlach Sr. passed away, but his legacy continues. It endured in his children and endures to this day in his grand and greatgrandchildren who are still making a positive impact in the Copper Country and the world. It is not with sadness we look back on the life of Herman Gundlach Sr., but with appreciation and awe, as the greatest foundation he ever built was that of a meaningful life.

The growth in hybrid car sales is a welcome sign that a major change in the automobile industry is afoot. The shift to transport infrastructure that is not based on the archaic complexity of an internal combustion engine, with its hundreds of moving parts and compressed fuel explosions, has been long put off by an automobile industry, happy with status quo, partnered with oil cartels with the power to price their product as if it were in endless supply. But with smack-in-the-face-reality fuel prices last summer, the collapse of the so-called “Big Three” over the winter, and the simultaneous heralding assertion of alternative energy technologies (Daimler AG bought a 10% stake in Tesla Motors last month!), the fallout of western economic near-collapse has changed everything we’ve known to be sacrosanct; Leonard Lopate even waxed nostalgic about the “Death of the Car Song” yesterday on National Public Radio’s local station, WNYC.

Delve into Shakespeare’s world with our Winter 2022/23 programme of events
This winter sees a series of new events for all ages in our indoor Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, outdoor Globe Theatre, and around Shakespeare’s London
Alongside our previously announced programme of plays, including Henry V, Titus Andronicus, The Winter’s Tale, Hakawatis, and The Fir Tree, today we’re sharing our plans for a host of new events to carry us through to springtime next year: from guided tours to storytelling workshops, choral concerts by candlelight to family Shakespeare, there’s something for everyone this winter.
Fun for all the family
2023 marks the 17th anniversary of one of the most impactful and longest-running cultural education projects in the UK, Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank, and next March, we turn to Shakespeare’s magical tale of love, revenge and forgiveness, The Tempest, directed by Diane Page. Our flagship education project is created especially for young people, and sees us provide over 26,000 free tickets to state secondary schools in London and Birmingham so they can experience the thrill of live theatre. Families can wash ashore Prospero’s Island with public performances from 18 March – 15 April 2023.
Families will also once again be able to undergo an interactive adventure through Shakespeare’s plays with our festival of storytelling and workshops taking place in the February half term and Easter holidays. Plays retold for younger audiences and for the whole family to enjoy together include Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and The Winter’s Tale, whilst drama workshops for independent teenagers aged 12-18 in our Globe Theatre include Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Much Ado About Nothing, Hamlet, King Lear, and Othello.
Hungry to act and perform? Budding young performers can take part in our Young Actors Short Courses over Easter. Over four days, you’ll get the opportunity to work with experienced, professional actors and directors here at the Globe, and will work on voice, text and movement, resulting in a small performance in front of family and friends!
Christmas at Shakespeare's Globe
Celebrate the holiday season in our magical Globe Theatre with our series of events designed to sprinkle some festive cheer.
How did Shakespeare celebrate Christmas? Wrap up warm for a Festive Family Tour of our Globe Theatre this December, and hear more about the folk traditions that people practiced to welcome in the winter season.
Alongside our festive show The Fir Tree, we’ll be running craft and drama workshops for all the family – explore the story, themes and characters of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale through play and performance in our Family Drama Workshop and create your very own flying sparrow puppet from recycled materials in our Craft and Puppetry Workshop.
Experience 400 years in the making on a Guided Tour
Want to explore more of Shakespeare’s London and discover the intriguing secrets of his theatres and streets?
Our special family-friendly spooky tour of the Globe Theatre, Ghosts & Ghouls, brings to life the ghosts, spirits and scary happenings of Shakespeare’s most chilling plays.
Step away from the Globe and learn more about the intriguing, entertaining and surprising history of our local area: including the criminal history of Bankside on Shakespeare’s True Crimes Tour and midnight reveling on our Twilight Walking Tour.

1997 Saturn SL1 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual
I recently got the heater core replaced on my car. Lately, after driving for a little while, the coolant/temp light will flash meaning it needs water. The car temp is not hot, but I have to put water in the reservoir. Most of the time, I only have to put in just a little bit of water. However, after driving more, the light will come back on and more water will have to be added. What does this mean? I can't see where anything is leaking and the car is not overheating.
have the same problem?

Co-secreting thyrotropin/growth hormone (GH) pituitary adenomas are rare; their clinical presentation and long-term management are challenging. There is also a paucity of long-term data. Due to the cell of origin, these can behave as aggressive tumours. We report a case of a pituitary plurihormonal pit-1-derived macroadenoma, with overt clinical hyperthyroidism and minimal GH excess symptoms. The diagnosis was confirmed by pathology showing elevated thyroid and GH axes with failure of physiological GH suppression, elevated pituitary glycoprotein hormone alpha subunit (αGSU) and macroadenoma on imaging. Pre-operatively the patient was rendered euthyroid with carbimazole and underwent successful transphenoidal adenomectomy (TSA) with surgical cure. Histopathology displayed an elevated Ki-67 of 5.2%, necessitating long-term follow-up.
Thyrotropinomas are rare and likely under-diagnosed due to under-recognition of secondary hyperthyroidism.
Thyrotropinomas and other plurihormonal pit-1-derived adenomas are more aggressive adenomas according to WHO guidelines.
Co-secretion occurs in 30% of thyrotropinomas, requiring diligent investigation and long-term follow-up of complications.
Multinodular goitre is not associated with eye disease, unless in a rare case of Marine–Lenhart syndrome where it coexists with Grave’s disease. Therefore, other causes of exophthalmos need to be ruled out when the eye disease is seen in a patient with multinodular goitre. Confusion can arise in patients with features suggestive of Graves’ ophthalmopathy in the absence of thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor autoantibodies and no evidence of other causes of exophthalmos. We present a case of multinodular goitre in a patient with exophthalmos which flared up after iodine contrast-based study. A 61-year-old Australian presented with a pre-syncopal attack and was diagnosed with toxic multinodular goitre. At the same time of investigations, to diagnose the possible cause of the pre-syncopal attack, computerised tomographic (CT) coronary artery angiogram was requested by a cardiologist. A few days after the iodine contrast-based imaging test was performed, he developed severe eye symptoms, with signs suggestive of Graves’ orbitopathy. MRI of the orbit revealed features of the disease. Although he had pre-existing eye symptoms, they were not classical of thyroid eye disease. He eventually had orbital decompressive surgery. This case poses a diagnostic dilemma of a possible Graves’ orbitopathy in a patient with multinodular goitre.
Graves’ orbitopathy can occur in a patient with normal autothyroid antibodies. The absence of the thyroid antibodies does not rule out the disease in all cases.
Graves’ orbitopathy can coexist with multinodular goitre.
Iodine-based compounds, in any form, can trigger severe symptoms, on the background of Graves’ eye disease.
Thyrotoxicosis is associated with cardiac dysfunction; more commonly, left ventricular dysfunction. However, in recent years, there have been more cases reported on right ventricular dysfunction, often associated with pulmonary hypertension in patients with thyrotoxicosis. Three cases of thyrotoxicosis associated with right ventricular dysfunction were presented. A total of 25 other cases of thyrotoxicosis associated with right ventricular dysfunction published from 1994 to 2017 were reviewed along with the present 3 cases. The mean age was 45 years. Most (82%) of the cases were newly diagnosed thyrotoxicosis. There was a preponderance of female gender (71%) and Graves’ disease (86%) as the underlying aetiology. Common presenting features included dyspnoea, fatigue and ankle oedema. Atrial fibrillation was reported in 50% of the cases. The echocardiography for almost all cases revealed dilated right atrial and or ventricular chambers with elevated pulmonary artery pressure. The abnormal echocardiographic parameters were resolved in most cases after rendering the patients euthyroid. Right ventricular dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension are not well-recognized complications of thyrotoxicosis. They are life-threatening conditions that can be reversed with early recognition and treatment of thyrotoxicosis. Signs and symptoms of right ventricular dysfunction should be sought in all patients with newly diagnosed thyrotoxicosis, and prompt restoration of euthyroidism is warranted in affected patients before the development of overt right heart failure.
Thyrotoxicosis is associated with right ventricular dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension apart from left ventricular dysfunction described in typical thyrotoxic cardiomyopathy.
Symptoms and signs of right ventricular dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension should be sought in all patients with newly diagnosed thyrotoxicosis.
Thyrotoxicosis should be considered in all cases of right ventricular dysfunction or pulmonary hypertension not readily explained by other causes.
Prompt restoration of euthyroidism is warranted in patients with thyrotoxicosis complicated by right ventricular dysfunction with or without pulmonary hypertension to allow timely resolution of the abnormal cardiac parameters before development of overt right heart failure.
We report a patient with Graves’ disease who remained persistently hyperthyroid after a total thyroidectomy and also developed de novo Graves’ ophthalmopathy 5 months after surgery. She was subsequently found to have a mature cystic teratoma containing struma ovarii after undergoing a total hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy for an incidental ovarian lesion.
It is important to investigate for other causes of primary hyperthyroidism when thyrotoxicosis persists after total thyroidectomy.
TSH receptor antibody may persist after total thyroidectomy and may potentially contribute to the development of de novo Graves’ ophthalmopathy.
A 42-year-old male presented with a one-week history of palpitations and sweating episodes. The only significant history was of longstanding idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Initial ECG demonstrated a sinus tachycardia. Thyroid function testing, undertaken as part of the diagnostic workup, revealed an un-measureable thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (T4). Upon questioning the patient reported classical thyrotoxic symptoms over the preceding weeks. Given the persistence of symptoms free tri-iodothyronine (T3) was measured and found to be markedly elevated at 48.9 pmol/L (normal range: 3.1–6.8 pmol/L). No goitre or nodular disease was palpable in the neck. Historically there had never been any amiodarone usage. Radionucleotide thyroid uptake imaging (123I) demonstrated significantly reduced tracer uptake in the thyroid. Upon further questioning the patient reported purchasing a weight loss product online from India which supposedly contained sibutramine. He provided one of the tablets and laboratory analysis confirmed the presence of T3 in the tablet. Full symptomatic resolution and normalised thyroid function ensued upon discontinuation of the supplement.
Free tri-iodothyronine (T3) measurement may be useful in the presence of symptoms suggestive of thyrotoxicosis with discordant thyroid function tests.
Thyroid uptake scanning can be a useful aid to differentiating exogenous hormone exposure from endogenous hyperthyroidism.
Ingestion of thyroid hormone may be inadvertent in cases of exogenous thyrotoxicosis.
Medicines and supplements sourced online for weight loss may contain thyroxine (T4) or T3 and should be considered as a cause of unexplained exogenous hyperthyroidism.
Co-secretion of growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) from a single pituitary adenoma is common. In fact, up to 25% of patients with acromegaly may have PRL co-secretion. The prevalence of acromegaly among patients with a newly diagnosed prolactinoma is unknown. Given the possibility of mixed GH and PRL co-secretion, the current recommendation is to obtain an insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in patients with prolactinoma at the initial diagnosis. Long-term follow-up of IGF-1 is not routinely done. Here, we report two cases of well-controlled prolactinoma on dopamine agonists with the development of acromegaly 10–20 years after the initial diagnoses. In both patients, a mixed PRL/GH-cosecreting adenoma was confirmed on the pathology examination after transsphenoidal surgery (TSS). Therefore, periodic routine measurements of IGF-1 should be considered regardless of the duration and biochemical control of prolactinoma.
Acromegaly can develop in patients with well-controlled prolactinoma on dopamine agonists.
The interval between prolactinoma and acromegaly diagnoses can be several decades.
Periodic screening of patients with prolactinoma for growth hormone excess should be considered and can lead to an early diagnosis of acromegaly before the development of complications.
TSH-secreting pituitary adenomas are rare and the optimal investigation and management is uncertain. We describe a case of a 43 year-old woman with a TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma, highlighting diagnostic testing and our use, pre-operatively of somatostatin analogue therapy, which induced biochemical euthyroidism and a reduction in tumour size.
The differential diagnosis of the syndrome of inappropriate TSH secretion is non-thyroidal illness, medications, assay interference due to heterophilic antibodies, thyroid hormone resistance and TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma.
TRH stimulation test and triiodothyronine suppression test assist in differentiating thyroid hormone resistance and TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma.
Somatostatin analogue therapy can induce biochemical euthyroidism and reduce tumour size.

Good location for accessing local facilities where you can eat and drink and receive great customer care. The old fort was a particular favourite of ours with delicious food, lovely fish and seafood dishes but also more standard options. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable and we would stay again if wanting to have our base in seaview.
Mrs Twist July 2021
The cottage itself was very spacious and comfortable, however were were disappointed by a few things throughout our stay. The downstairs toilet seat was loose The shower upstairs did not drain and you stood in a pool of water The lawn was not cut so spending time in the garden was not pleasant When it rained the water came into the house at the back door of the lounge and in the passage which got quite few things wet

I was just reading up about the different Prius models that are set to come out and the one that I'm really curious about is the Prius V. Its basically the same as a 3rd generation Prius but with an extended roofline, longer wheelbase, more cargo space. and more interior space. But on a downside you get less mpg. A lot less.... from 50 mpg it becomes 40 mpg combined(city/highway). Here's an article about it.

New Delhi — The resurgence of the African swine fever cases in China's Guangdong-based pig farms following the outbreak at a major pork producing company over January 20-22 is unlikely to pose a serious challenge to China's overall hog herd numbers, supporting the strong recovery in its soybean demand, industry sources told S&P Global Platts Jan. 28.

With the hog herd recovery on a swifter-than-expected curve, China's soybean demand has also been projected to hit record highs.
According to S&P Global Platts Analytics, the world's largest soybean purchaser is expected to import all-time high volumes of the oilseed in 2020-21 and 2021-22 marketing years (October-September) at 100 million mt and 110 million mt, respectively.
China is heavily dependent on soybean purchases as it processes over 80% of imported beans into animal feed.
ASF IN CHINA
As soon as the latest ASF virus strains of the January outbreak were discovered, hundreds of pigs were culled as a preventive step, reducing the chances of contagion, the sources said.
"Although the latest outbreak is not a serious issue in China at the moment, we need to watch how this develops in coming days because the resurgence of the epidemic in China will affect market sentiment badly, particularly when the swine production capacity has not yet recovered completely," Shanghai-based agricultural consultancy JCI China told Platts.
Since late 2019, China has been quick to implement strict quarantine measures whenever an ASF outbreak is discovered.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, or MARA, six ASF outbreaks were reported in China in 2020, with the last having occurred in October. All the six outbreaks were dealt with quick quarantine measures and stricter inter-provincial transportation policies, MARA said.
As of Nov. 30, 2020, China's swine herd recovery was seen at 90% of the pre-ASF levels, and should this prevailing growth trend continue, the world's largest pork producer and consumer is likely to fully recovery in the first half of 2021, according to MARA.
The ASF first emerged in China in August 2018, which resulted in the loss of over 50% of its swine population. Following large-scale quarantine measures, over 200 million pigs were culled that year, leading to a massive shortage of pork in the country and record pork prices.
China's pig farming sector has experienced a rapid consolidation since late 2019 as small-scale farms were amalgamated into big entities under a government directive and over $30 billion invested in the consolidation, a Beijing-based consultancy said.
Over 15,000 large-scale pig farms resumed operations in 2020, with another 13,000 newly-built ones added into the production chain, an agricultural ministry official said.

But, first, some local news:
Mission Viejo, a town in southern California (Orange County) opposes high-speed rail and supports Assemblywoman Diane Harkey's AB 1455, the "High-Speed Lemon Law." There are many other cities in California, north and south that have taken it upon themselves to vote down the high-speed rail project passing through their borders.
But, here's the real story of the day and it's from Venezuela. The article is from the on-line International Herald Tribune.
Talk about social engineering!
Il Presidente Chavez (who, by the way, now has a recurrence of cancer) has been shoving a new high-speed train down the throats of Venezuelans because his government wants to move lots of people from where it's habitable and where they want to live, to where it isn't habitable, and they don't want to live. Sounds much like the Chinese agenda for their country also. I strongly suspect that if Chavez were to die or retire, the project would vaporize.
As you read the article, a lot of it will sound familiar to you if you have been a follower of the California high-speed rail project.
They have dragged the Chinese into this for both loans, construction, and trains. Boy, will they come to regret that. They are talking about a $7.5 billion deal with the Chinese.
Attention Jerry Brown, Governor of California: "That’s the thing about Socialist central planners: they don’t start with the world as it is and ask themselves how to make it better for the people living in it. They start with the world as they imagine it ought to be and force that vision onto the people whether the people want it or not."
Jobs? You want to know about jobs? "Local people perform only unskilled physical work on the line, and they’re grateful even for that."
This story is almost one for the movies. A heavy-handed dictator demands a train to be cut through the jungle infested with all sorts of insects and diseases. They build this train at enormous cost to the country including the cost of many lives. They bring in a foreign dictatorship country to build the train. And like leeches, the builders who lend the funds get to suck vast riches in profits from this jungle country. When it's completed, nobody rides the train. And, slowly, at the end, the jungle takes over the rail-line, overgrowing it with vines, taking it back into the underbrush until it disappears.
Well, that certainly can't happen here in California, like in the Central Valley, can it?
Oh, and before I forget, here's another article about commuter trains. The lesson here? Trains are not perfect. Stuff happens. And, when trains full of people go 220 mph, the disaster is far worse than we can now imagine. This article is also from today, 2.22.12.

Chávez’s Great Train Robbery
By FRANCISCO TORO
ORTIZ, Venezuela — Isolated, scrubby and scorching hot, the edge of Venezuela’s central plains just south of the heavily populated coastal highlands isn’t exactly tourist-brochure material. A few towns and no cities are scattered throughout the area, and agriculture there has been depressed for years.
Although its sparseness would seem to make this part of the plains particularly ill-suited as the location for a massive new high-speed rail project, sure enough, that’s exactly what state planners are building there: a $200 million railway from Tinaco, a small town about an eight hours’ drive southwest from Caracas, to Anaco, 290 miles to the east.
It’s not just a train to nowhere. It’s a train from nowhere to nowhere.
But never mind that. The Venezuelan government says it will begin passenger services on the line later this year, running Chinese trains that go 135 miles per hour. Who on earth do they imagine is going to ride this thing? New people, people who don’t live anywhere near it yet.
The line is part of a grandiose, multi-decade government plan to “rebalance” Venezuela’s population away from the compact coastal strip, where more than 65 percent of Venezuela’s 29 million people live, and toward the “Orinoco-Apure axis” farther south, where about 17 percent live. The execution is sometimes perverse: about midway on the Tinaco-Anaco line, for example, the tracks pass through Ortiz, a town of 8,000 people, instead of going through San Juan de Los Morros, a town of more than 120,000 people just 15 miles north of here.
Plans have already been put forward to extend the line past Tinaco and Anaco and connect cities that people might actually want to travel to, like Barquisimeto and Puerto La Cruz. But no detailed engineering studies have been carried out on extensions, and construction is years, if not decades, away. The same goes for the other 14 railway lines the government has said it wants to build by 2030.
Still, slogans about reasserting Venezuela’s greatness by populating the plains are repeated incessantly on state television, with little concern for what the people who will be asked to do the peopling think about all this. The reasons so many Venezuelans chose to settle in the coastal highlands rather than the central plains in the first place — quick access to the sea, better agricultural lands, respite from the punishing heat and endemic malaria — never quite enter the picture. Socialist planners in Caracas have determined that too many people have been enjoying a cool, productive and healthy lifestyle for too long.
A Chinese government loan is financing the rail project — part of a $7.5 billion deal — and a Chinese state-owned firm has been brought in to do the construction. This means the engineering and technical work on the line have been carried out by Chinese nationals living in comfortable new compounds, protected from the locals by electrified fencing. At the barracks near Ortiz, the red flag of the People’s Republic of China flutters over the ocher prefab buildings where Chinese engineers are reasserting Caracas’s sovereignty over the plains.
Local people perform only unskilled physical work on the line, and they’re grateful even for that. The towns along the proposed railway are tiny and uniformly poor. Basic road, water and electric infrastructure is precarious, with frequent power cuts. The lack of roads or basic irrigation prevents vast tracts of land from being farmed. But while the needs of the real campesinos living along the railway are going ignored, hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent on a high-speed train network for the notional people whom the government hopes one day to attract away from Venezuela’s urban, industrial heartlands.
That’s the thing about Socialist central planners: they don’t start with the world as it is and ask themselves how to make it better for the people living in it. They start with the world as they imagine it ought to be and force that vision onto the people whether the people want it or not.

Rachel Maddow had a great segment last night on how batshit crazy the Republican party has become over the last thirty years when it comes to reproductive rights and family planning.
Example Numero Uno? When Papa Bush was UN Ambassador, he sent a letter to the director of Planned Parenthood at the time, Alan Guttmacher, congratulating Planned Parenthood on the issuance of an eight cent “family planning” stamp, and stating he was “deeply appreciative of the dedication it symbolizes.”
Forty years later, George H.W. Bush has thrown his support behind Mitt “We’re gonna get rid of Planned Parenthood” Romney.
We’re going back in time, folks.

Moments of Meditation: Sharing God's Love
AuthorHouse, 2007 - 352 páginas
The author of this inspirational book has filled its pages with love and compassion, a rare insight into God's word, and with a love for all God's creatures. She sincerely believes that God loves everyone and wants each one to surrender his life to Him. She truly desires to be an instrument in His hands to spread His precious love to all. The poems, written over a period of years, are a product of God's inspiration and have emerged from her daily devotions early in the mornings. She has gained a love for His Word through her daily study of the Bible and has been inspired by the many writers whose words she has loved and admired. The desire to write poetry was instilled in her at an early age as she had much time to ponder on God's love and the beauty of His creation. Throughout her life, He has been close by her side to guide her in His ways and to provide guidance through wonderful loving parents, dedicated teachers and Christian leaders. He has been her Counselor, Comforter and Guide through the difficult times in her life. The years were lonesome after losing her husband but a loving God has given her an entirely new life and the joy of serving Him. After her retirement she lived in the country and enjoyed hours of walking and praising God for the beauty He created for us to enjoy. These excursions gave her much material for her writing. She feels it is only fitting that in these last years she should be dedicated to writing poems to gratefully praise Him for His goodness through her lifetime. Her prayer is that Moments of Meditation will be an encouragement to all that read.

The Bluebell Railway Preservation Society is delighted to be one of 103 UK volunteering groups to be granted this year's The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service, the MBE for volunteer groups.
This prestigious award is given to such groups across the UK for outstanding work done in their local communities. It recognises volunteering work that is of social, economic or environmental service to the local community and is supported, recognised and respected by the people who benefit from it.
Part of the citation for the Bluebell states the award is for "Pioneering the preservation of Britain's Railway Heritage through Railway Operation" and it goes on to acknowledge the contribution the Railway has made to education and the inclusiveness of the Society with its "welcome to all" philosophy.
More than 850 groups around the UK, Channel Islands and Isle of Man have now won the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service, over the eight years since it was created by Her Majesty to mark the occasion of her Golden Jubilee in 2002. Winners of this year's award were selected from 341 groups nominated by members of the public. Until this year no organisation involved in Railway Preservation has received the Award.
Roy Watts, Chairman of the Society said "The Railway has received many awards for specific activities but this is very, very special as it acknowledges the contribution of the millions of hours of effort made by every single one of all our volunteers past and present over the fifty years since the Society was formed. Railway enthusiasts like ourselves are sometimes considered to be obsessive and insular. This Award recognises our value to society in education and recreation, our professional approach, our contribution to the community and our dedicated hard work."
The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service Main Award Committee Chair and former broadcast journalist, Martyn Lewis CBE, said:
"Outstanding volunteer groups across the UK all too often go without recognition for the truly amazing work they do, despite the vital part they play in helping bind our communities together. It's a great pleasure to celebrate the efforts of The Bluebell Railway Preservation Society with The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service."
The Bluebell Railway Preservation Society will receive a certificate signed by The Queen and a commemorative piece of crystal for display at it headquarters in Sussex. The presentation of the award will be made during the summer by the Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex on behalf of the Queen.
Notes to Editors:
About the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service
In 2002, in celebration of Her Majesty's Golden Jubilee, the Queen's Golden Jubilee Award for Voluntary Service by Groups in the Community was established. Its purpose is to recognise groups of individuals who are giving their time freely for the benefit of others. It is the highest honour that can be bestowed upon groups of this kind and is equivalent in status to the MBE. As such, the Queen's Award not only serves to provide recognition of volunteer groups, but also demonstrates the high respect in which volunteering is held.
The Award is overseen by the Office of Civil Society (OCS). As part of the Cabinet Office, the OCS leads work across government to support the environment for a thriving third sector (voluntary and community groups, social enterprises, charities, cooperatives and mutuals), enabling it to campaign for change, deliver public services, promote social enterprise and strengthen communities.
Groups must be nominated for the Award - self nomination is not permitted. A group (two or more people) can be nominated if it is based in the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. The group has to have been volunteering for the benefit of people in the UK or overseas for at least three years and more than half its members must be volunteers who have the right of residence in the UK. Groups solely concerned with fundraising for charitable purposes are not eligible. Further details on entrance criteria and the nomination process are available from the direct.gov website.

May 17, 2023Balchem organic registrations to aid tree fruit, grapes, berries
Balchem Plant Nutrition has received registration for two organic foliar products that can aid growers of organic fruit and vegetables.
The new product combinations provide convenient and safe solutions for organic fruit and vegetable growers, according to a news release. Balchem’s products service conventional and organic vegetables including tomatoes, onions, carrots, sweet corn, grapes, berries, melons, potatoes and tree nuts.
Balchem has won registration for Metalosate Calcium-Potassium and Metalosate ZMI, a combination of zinc, iron and manganese. The products are an extension of Balchem’s current Metalosate Organic product line and allows growers to customize sprays more effectively than by mixing multiple ingredients into one application, according to the release.
The USDA projects agriculture applications alone can cost anywhere from $10 to $15 per acre for aerial applications, and approximately $300 per acre for backpack applications. For farmers. reducing the number of applications becomes vital in maximizing efficiencies and maintaining profit, according to the release.
Reducing applications include maximizing the number of products in a tank, compatibility and targeted solutions to address specific challenges in the least number of passes through a field.
“In conventional crop production, these mineral combinations gave excellent results, so we wanted to bring the same benefits to organic growers. Our product development team took the time to find the correct balance of minerals and takes the guesswork out of product mixing. That provides peace of mind since growers can feel confident the application is safe and effective.”
The products provide organic farmers with more solutions to supplement crops in a more financially and environmentally sustainable way, according to the release. “As an extension of the current Metalosate product line, they provide an added level of convenience, backed by the rigor of Balchem’s scientific research and development,” Balchem officials said in the release.
Metalosate products implement technology that has been utilized for more than 50 years in more than 300 crops. Metalosate’s organic products are certified via OMRI, Kiwa, California’s State Department of Agriculture, and Washington State Department of Agriculture. The full line of Metalosate organic foliar sprays can be purchased at agriculture retailers throughout California.
Based in Montvale, New Jersey, Balchem Plant Nutrition develops, manufactures and markets products for conventional and organic vegetables and tree and vine crops as well as field crops, ornamental trees, and other plant nutrition markets.
In vegetables, Balchem’s agronomists work in tomatoes, onions, potatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, cabbage, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and Brussel sprouts.
In fruit, Balchem products service apples, cherries, grapes, peaches and other stone fruit as well as berries. In tree nuts, Balchem services almonds and walnuts and other nuts.

Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield to Reunite on Oprah Show
Mike Tyson's memorable and emotional appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Monday (October 12) has not only given a big boost in exposure for his new documentary Tyson, but it's also resulting in a reunion with boxing rival Evander Holyfield, who Tyson bit during their second fight in June 1997.
During Tyson's interview with Oprah, he discussed the infamous ear-biting incident, explaining that he was frustrated with Holyfield following numerous headbutts. He admitted that he hasn't spoken to Holyfield since and Oprah is making that happen.
Both legendary boxers will reunite on her live show on Friday (October 16), during a follow-up interview where Tyson will take questions from the studio audience and speak about the overwhelming reaction he's had since his first interview.
Oprah will also give viewers a first look at the new Michael Jackson documentary, This Is It, on Friday's show.

Spin wave Feynman diagram vertex computation packageSpin wave theory is a well-established theoretical technique that can correctly predict the physical behavior of ordered magnetic states. However, computing the effects of an interacting spin wave theory incorporating magnons involve a laborious by hand derivation of Feynman diagram vertices. The process is tedious and time consuming. Hence, to improve productivity and have another means to check the analytical calculations, we have devised a Feynman Diagram Vertex Computation package. In this talk, we will describe our research group’s effort to implement a Mathematica based symbolic Feynman diagram vertex computation package that computes spin wave vertices. Utilizing the non-commutative algebra package NCAlgebra as an add-on to Mathematica, symbolic expressions for the Feynman diagram vertices of a Heisenberg quantum antiferromagnet are obtained. Our existing code reproduces the well-known expressions of a nearest neighbor square lattice Heisenberg model. We also discuss the case of a triangular lattice Heisenberg model where non collinear terms contribute to the vertex interactions.
Studying Quantum Magnets Using Ineracting Spin Wave TheoryA magnon is a quantized magnetic excitation hosted in a condensed matter state caused by deviations of the electron spin. Quantum fluctuations of the magnetic wave results in a quantized spin wave. Using spin wave theory we present a derivation of the interaction that describes magnons in a 3D ferromagnetic crystal lattice and a 2D antiferromagnetic crystal. We use both the Holstein-Primakoff and Dyson-Maleev bosonization transformation scheme. As in the literature, we find higher order interaction terms within the Hamiltonian. We present a derivation of these interaction terms and subsequent representation from a Feynman diagram approach.

I was really happy with this girl. She looks a little different now due to paint dripping on the page from other projects - but I'm still totally happy with her. I used the stamp set from Andrea Gomoll. I can't say enough good things about her stamps and the beauty of NOT having to draw the details. It makes life so much easier.
Next up...I tried my hand at drawing the details...
For this girlie, I was inspired by the wonderfully talented Kristin Van Valkenburgh. She's a really talented artist and my attempt really pales in comparison. I really love her blog and she shares her mixed media work on Pinterest. The most important thing is using the inspiration and doing the best job you can. This represents my best work in that particular moment and time. I hope someday to get better. I could go on and on about the problems. The scale of her face is all wrong. Her eyes are too far apart. I really wish I would have done a two page spread. Her chin and cheek bones are a minor disaster. However, I love the colors. I think I did pretty well on the lips and her hair isn't a total loss.
My next art girlie got a two page layout and was inspired by this painting by Paulette Insall. There are a few photos to show you some of my process. I made a few mistakes so this girl took me about a week.
If you look at the first picture - I wanted my girl to have a word. I love the word soulful. I thought it was perfect for her (at first) then I thought about changing it to soar and adding a bird; as you can see, none of that happened. When I added the word on the bottom I went to work on another part of the project. My arm ran through the black paint and I pretty much lost my mind. I then went to my modeling paste and got to work. I painted it all over her dress and then colored it with gelatos. I am so satisfied with the result. I would love to leave you with this - because I truly love this girl. However, I thought I'd give you a quick glimpse of my new nemesis.
I have painted this piece of paper more times than I can count. The sun started out as radiating circles with a melon background. Then I tried my hand at a sunset (so not there yet) - and finally changed the circles into one smaller sun. I wish I would have taken pictures. I've just gessoed her face again and am waiting for it to dry. Then I am turning the page and doing something new. I need a break from this girl. She's driving me nuts. We are definitely on a break.
So there it is...two weeks of progress. One somewhat happy "artsy" girl. I'm not even close to ready to call myself artsy in any kind of real sense. The important thing is I'm having fun and plugging away. It's making me happy and that means so much. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday. I will keep you updated on my progress. Until then...
