Background: Functional analysis of mononuclear leukocytes in the female genital mucosa is essential for understanding the immunologic effects of HIV vaccines and microbicides at the site of HIV exposure. However, the best female genital tract sampling technique is unclear.
Methods and findings: We enrolled women from four sites in Africa and the US to compare three genital leukocyte sampling methods: cervicovaginal lavages (CVL), endocervical cytobrushes, and ectocervical biopsies. Absolute yields of mononuclear leukocyte subpopulations were determined by flow cytometric bead-based cell counting. Of the non-invasive sampling types, two combined sequential cytobrushes yielded significantly more viable mononuclear leukocytes than a CVL (p<0.0001). In a subsequent comparison, two cytobrushes yielded as many leukocytes (∼ 10,000) as one biopsy, with macrophages/monocytes being more prominent in cytobrushes and T lymphocytes in biopsies. Sample yields were consistent between sites. In a subgroup analysis, we observed significant reproducibility between replicate same-day biopsies (r = 0.89, p = 0.0123). Visible red blood cells in cytobrushes increased leukocyte yields more than three-fold (p = 0.0078), but did not change their subpopulation profile, indicating that these leukocytes were still largely derived from the mucosa and not peripheral blood. We also confirmed that many CD4(+) T cells in the female genital tract express the α4β7 integrin, an HIV envelope-binding mucosal homing receptor.
Conclusions: CVL sampling recovered the lowest number of viable mononuclear leukocytes. Two cervical cytobrushes yielded comparable total numbers of viable leukocytes to one biopsy, but cytobrushes and biopsies were biased toward macrophages and T lymphocytes, respectively. Our study also established the feasibility of obtaining consistent flow cytometric analyses of isolated genital cells from four study sites in the US and Africa. These data represent an important step towards implementing mucosal cell sampling in international clinical trials of HIV prevention.

Last night I attended Stanford’s d.school pitch night. I was there because I’m one of three people teaching a new course called “d.compress” so Neema and I had 60 seconds to pitch to the design students. Approximately 30 other professors were also pitching in the form of skits, improv, videos, and one (the founder of Klutz) even taught us all how to bark like a dog.
I’m still in awe of the awesome design talent that was in that room, but even more inspiring was how many people are dedicating their skills to healthcare.
I am working on another interesting project that involves pitching design….with Aetna. Aetna (yes, one of the big healthcare giants) is taking a giant step to engage the design community in a new way. In collaboration with digital health incubator Rock Health, Aetna will be hosting a live 3-day challenge event to engage the best designers and firms to improve the lives of seniors and their caregivers.
This event – RFP Live Design – is an effort to create a space where designers and big healthcare can work effectively. Aetna is committed to optimizing their consumer-driven products and services, and they recognize to get there, they need good design. By teaming up with kick-ass incubator Rock Health, and recruiting rock-star design experts like BJ Fogg, Ryan Panchadsaram and Maria Ly to serve as event judges, Aetna is spearheading this much needed, cutting-edge collaboration.
Dr. Kyra Bobinet and Brian Garcia (CTO) are the Aetna trailblazers leading the charge. They are hosting this event because they care about making it better. End users (the people Aetna want to serve) will be there in attendance as judges and resources to the designers who are working. Comfortable space, free food, big RFP cash awards for winners, and of course, opportunities to work with Aetna in the near future are available for the teams who show up to create & pitch their best design solutions.
This challenge is about health care user experience. It’s happening the first few days of December in San Francisco. The event website with further details will launch this week. Stay tuned.

Extra Moist Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Servings: 10 slices
This moist chocolate chip banana bread is loaded with flavour and packed with melted choc chips. Made in one bowl this easy and delicious loaf will take no longer than 10 minutes to prepare. It seriously is the best recipe there is!
- 3 large bananas about 395g
- 110 g unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 130 g greek yoghurt
- 50 g soft brown sugar
- 100 g caster sugar
- 250 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 150 g milk or dark chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 160ºC/ 140ºC Fan/ Gas mark 3/ 320ºF Grease and line a 2lb (900g) loaf tin.
Mash the bananas with a fork and add them to a bowl along with the melted butter, eggs and greek yogurt. Mix to combine then tip in the sugars and whisk thoroughly.
Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt into the bowl then use a spatula to combine the ingredients until the flour is only just moistened. Take care not to overmix.
Reserve a handful of chocolate chips and pour the rest into the banana bread mixture. Use a metal spoon to fold the chocolate chips very gently into the mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the loaf tin then sprinkle over the reserved chocolate chips. Bake in the centre of the oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean.
Tips for making the best choc chip banana bread
- Ripe bananas are a must for flavour and sweetness.
- Use a fork to mash the bananas but don't worry if there are a few lumps as that adds to the overall texture of the bread.
- A mixture of white and brown sugar lends a richness to banana bread.
- Using melted butter and greek yoghurt produces a soft, moist crumb.
- Thoroughly mix the wet ingredients but when it's time to add the dry ingredients use a spatula to fold everything together but do not overmix or your bread will be tough.
- Line your baking tin with baking paper and grease it with cake release or butter.
- Take care not to over bake or the loaf will be dry.
- Add foil on top of the banana bread during baking if the top is looking too brown.
- To serve you can enjoy it plain or spread with a little butter/peanut butter for an extra treat!
- Storage: Wrap in cling film or keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days. Freezes well for up to 3 months.

Art Instruction: Assignment 5
Create View Finders
The use of view finders is the key difference between the latest version of "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" and previous versions by Betty Edwards. She goes on at length of how various artists have used different versions of of view finders to train themselves to draw what they see. In this lesson, you will create the view finders you need to complete the next lesson.
1. You'll need a sketch pad (or at least know the size you will use to draw with)
2. A sturdy piece of card board. I use the back of old sketch pads as it is a very sturdy board.
4. Clear plastic transparency paper.
6. Xacto Knife.
Buy the Materials Online
I used the back board of the one of my bristol board sketch pads for my view finders. Feel free to substitute.
Step One: Figure Out the Sizes Needed
1. The size of the two view finders you need will depend on the proportion of the sketch pad you are using.
2. Draw a diagonal line from the lower right corner to the upper left corner of your pad.
3. With a ruler, figure out where 3 3/4" intersects the line if drawn parallel to the bottom of the pad.
4. Draw a line from the intersection to the bottom of the page, creating a right angle, and measure the line.
This will give you the dimensions of the window of your small view finder. Note that the measurements are in orange in the above image.
Repeat the steps by intersecting a 6" line with the diagonal line (see area in blue in the image.)
NOTE: If your sketch pad is of different proportions than the one I am using, your measurements will be different than mine. That's fine. Relative proportion is more important than absolute size.
Step 2: Draw Dimensions onto Your Board
Add a two inch boarder to the size of your desired window.
Step 3: CAREFULLY Cut out Your View Finder
If you have a mat cutter, there is probably an easier way. If you do not, place your ruler on the desired line and cut. Be sure to keep your finders behind the edge of the ruler. The exacto knife is sharp enough to take off parts so BE CAREFUL!
Step 4: Finish
Cut your plastic to size and draw cross hairs on the plastic with permanent marker. Once that's done you can attach it to your view finder with clips.
View Finder Demonstration

If you are following along. Post pictures of your viewfinder on you blog and link it here to get feedback.

There is a veil of skepticism that has a come across the minds of the American online gambler. EwalletXpress, a payment processor for US players, went down on Friday November 12th due to an "upgrade". When the site became available later the next day, there was something missing. There is no banking option to make a deposit. EwalletXpress claims that they are having "technical difficulties".
EwalletXpress is very vague to offer a reasonable explanation. Customers are given a generic answer of "we should be operational shortly". The question is who will they be operational for? Will the US be left out in the cold once again. Or is this a false alarm that set off a senseless panic among American players.
There is no reassurance in the slightest that the US will continue to be allowed to make deposits. Maybe the reason for the long delays in responding and vague answers by support are due to the overwhelming amount of customers they are handling at the moment with the very same question. One thing is for sure, if they deny US deposits, it will hurt the online gambling market worse than it already has.
Some speculate that before the US moves forward to lift the ban on online gambling, all processors accepting US customers will be ceased. If this is case it is the "storm before the quiet". The US is preparing to set their own terms and regulations before allowing processors to accept the US again and lift the ban.
If EwalletXpress is having "technical difficulties" we may have all been spared, but it is all a matter of time.

Many seniors who are too sick or frail to live in their homes often think that the nursing homes are their only option either as their permanent residence or as a temporary facility during their recovery. However, many seniors who need nursing care would rather receive it in their own home while enjoying a familiar environment with their family and friends. Good thing there are community services and health care professionals who can provide him the home nursing care he needs. These professionals can come right to a senior’s home in Highland Lakes to deliver responsible care.
Home care generally refers to health care or support provided in the patient’s home, but this term is usually applied to non-medical care or custodian care provided by persons who are not licensed medical personnel. Family and friends, who are referred to as caregivers, primary caregiver or voluntary caregiver in this context, can also provide home care in Highland Lakes. Mostly, however, services are provided by agencies or independent providers.
Best Ways to Find Personal Home Health Care in Highland Lakes
What Can Home Care Services Do For You?
Home care is generally non-medical assistance offers in home setting. Usually the services are hired for adults who are not in a position to perform daily activities because of one reason or another. Apart from providing family members peace of mind, the adults receiving assistance remain at the comfort of their homes compared to being in a nursing home or facility which is depressing for some. It is important to remember that home care is different from home health care. Home health care requires registered nurses and trained therapists with medical qualifications to offer assistance at home.
What home care can do for you
Certified home aide providers can do a number of things for their clients. They include:
1. Personal care where they help the clients with bathing, grooming, dressing and preparing meals
Apart from the usual daily chores, you might be looking for other related services. Find out whether it is possible for your provider to offer such services so that you do not have to go looking elsewhere or make too many changes when you need the additional services. The more services your provider can handle, the better and convenient it can be for your current needs or needs that could arise.
Senior Home Care Services: Weighing The Decision
Home care generally refers to health care or support provided in the patient's home, but this term is usually applied to non-medical care or custodian care provided by persons who are not licensed medical personnel. Family and friends, who are referred to as caregivers, primary caregiver or voluntary caregiver in this context, can also provide home care. Mostly, however, services are provided by agencies or independent providers.
Seniors comprise the majority of the recipients of home care. Of these, studies show that more women than men need in home senior care. There are other individuals who would typically use this service, such as people with disabilities or special needs and people recovering from major surgeries.
This type of care makes it possible to remain at home and in the environment they are most comfortable with instead of using long-term institution-based nursing care. It allows them to be near loved ones and gives them a feeling of living a "normal" life as opposed to long term stays in a hospice or nursing home. There is also a variety of options available for home care services, depending on the type and frequency of assistance needed.
Billing can be on an hourly, daily or weekly basis with payment coming from the patient and his or her family members or through a variety of public and privates sources. Professional health care services are usually ordered by a doctor and may be covered with insurance. Some community organizations, such as the local cancer society or Alzheimer's association, may also provide funding to help pay for home care services.

Nursing Homes Ireland (NHI) has slammed a “grossly irresponsible” plan to end Covid funding support for the sector.
The Temporary Assistance Payment Scheme (TAPS) was established at the beginning of the pandemic to support all nursing homes with additional costs incurred due to Covid-19.
The scheme, which allows nursing homes to claim an outbreak assistance payment in the event of an outbreak of the disease, is due to expire at the end of the month.
NHI, the national representative body for the private and voluntary nursing home sector, is seeking clarity from the Government and the National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) regarding how homes will continue to finance enhanced infection prevention control measures.
NHI chief executive Tadhg Daly said the decision to end the funding “defies logic” in the face of new variants of the disease and warnings of a fourth wave.
“It is of extreme concern the State is planning to completely withdraw this support that has become so vital and sends a very worrying signal nursing home care will again be de-prioritised within our health services as we emerge from Covid-19,” he said.
“It is astonishing and incredulous that the first cut-off in sectoral support is targeted at the nursing home sector, which experienced the most devastating impact of Covid-19.”
'Dismay and shock'
NHI said TAPS has been used by nursing homes to increase deployment of staff and to introduce and use specialised equipment.
Nursing homes have expressed “dismay and shock” to the body over the withdrawal of the scheme, and have asked how they can continue to fund measures that have become embedded within their care practice.
“The Covid-19 Expert Panel has recommended nursing home care shift towards a more medical model through implementation of enhanced infection prevention control measures,” Mr Daly said.
“No dedicated funding support has been made available by Government to implement the recommendations, almost a year after the Expert Panel produced its recommendations, and TAPS has acted as a bridge to enable measures be implemented.
“We want clarity from Government. Are the measures supported by the scheme now embedded within nursing home care practice to cease?
“If learnings and recommendations are to be achieved from Covid-19 for nursing homes, they need to be supported by the State.”

I was at Kinokuniya on Tuesday looking for new books for my son. Then I decided to get one for myself on parenting. It’s been awhile since I last read from a hard copy book eversince I read the soft copy version through Kindle app on my iPhone. The only downside is I couldn’t read in front of my son because then he would think I am using my phone continuously when I am trying to reduce significantly his screen time. I don’t want him to think that if Mummy can use gadgets, why can’t I?
So anyway, I picked up “The Danish Way of Parenting” book by Jessica Joelle Alexander and Iben Dissing Sandahl. The former is an American mom married to a Dane while the latter is a Danish psychotherapist, also a mom. I chose the book because (1) it’s located in the best-seller section so it should be good and (2) just by flipping the pages I saw that the book relates to how the brain works which is something that I have always wanted to understand so that I can make informed decisions on what’s best for my son rather than just relying on what other mothers do.
I’m only halfway through the book but a lot of the things the authors said reminds me of how my parents brought me up. They are not Danish nor they are wealthy, but they have raised me successfully to be resilient and always positive, or as the book defined – a realistic optimist. These are the core characteristics that the Danes would instill in their children.
They don’t use praise as a default response when the kids achieve something but instead focus on the process or effort the children put in. By doing so, they believe that the children will understand that it’s the perseverance that matters most, not the innate ability. Too much praise will give the children the wrong motivation to be successful – i.e. to yearn for acknowledgement and praise, not because they willingly want to be successful. The idea is to mould the children’s inner drive so that they know that they are in control of their lives when shit happens. Of course in reality you can’t run away from being affected by external factors such as environment or fate, but those are beyond your control. But when shit happens, we know that only we can help ourselves and steer back our lives to the right directions.
As I reflect back, I remember, when I was young, my parents never forced me to study hard. I remember, they didn’t tell me which degree course I should take. I did it willingly, and I always found myself happy studying. When I didn’t get an A like I always do (not bragging but trying to paint the picture here), I remember my late dad always said, “It’s okay, I know you will get it the next time, even if you don’t get it the next time, I know you will try harder and not give up until you get it”. Not just when I was young but also when I’ve started working and doing my CFA exams. I wasn’t among the ones who pass all CFA exams at one go, so when I failed the 2nd level for the first time, I remember my late dad said just before I opened my results, “It’s okay, I know you will pass, even if you don’t pass, I know you will keep trying and eventually pass”. And that’s all that matters to me and I eventually earned my CFA charter. I passed the 2nd level the second time I sat for the exam. Failed the 3rd and final level the first time too but passed the second time.
So I never felt the pressure from them, any pressure that I have all comes from within, which is not necessarily a good thing too but it is something that I have learned over time, to set realistic expectations. One thing to note is that, every willingness comes from a driving force. Something must have fire you to be willingly, to be wanting the success. For me, when I was young, while it wasn’t my parents forcing directly, it was the environment that I was living in that shaped my desires. My mom was the bread winner and she worked tirelessly, she was an adopted child who never got the chance to study, she could only hide under the table to do her homework when she can. Had she was given the opportunity, she may have earned a degree or even got the chance to study overseas, like me and her life may have been different. So ever since young, I vowed to work hard, to be successful, especially when I was given all the opportunities to study, unlike my mom and most importantly to always bounce back from whatever life throws at you.
I hope I could instill this upbringing to all my children (when I have more). I hope the kiasu in me will not drive them crazy, something that I must be mindful of. I shouldn’t set any expectations, but I should inspire them instead. They must earn their own driving force.

Reusable Launch Vehicle: Technology Development and Test Program
Committee on Reusable Launch Vehicle Technology and Test Program, National Research Council, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, Commission on Engineering and Technical Systems
National Academies Press, 1995 - Science - 88 pages
The key to opening the use of space to private enterprise and to broader public uses lies in reducing the cost of the transportation to space. More routine, affordable access to space will entail aircraft-like quick turnaround and reliable operations. Currently, the space Shuttle is the only reusable launch vehicle, and even parts of it are expendable while other parts require frequent and extensive refurbishment. NASA's highest priority new activity, the Reusable Launch Vehicle program, is directed toward developing technologies to enable a new generation of space launchers, perhaps but not necessarily with single stage to orbit capability. This book assesses whether the technology development, test and analysis programs in propulsion and materials-related technologies are properly constituted to provide the information required to support a December 1996 decision to build the X-33, a technology demonstrator vehicle; and suggest, as appropriate, necessary changes in these programs to ensure that they will support vehicle feasibility goals.

I recently underwent a health check abnd waws confirmned as a diabetic
urine readings were within limits. blood creatinine is also well within limits.
and am taking daonil - m 2 times aday.
test after 15 days of daonil show 190 post lunch reading. fasting is normal about 110
however last 2-3 months i am seeing soapy bubbly urine is this aproblem or some more tests are reqd.
Can a normal kidney produces such urine
Soapy of foamy urine makes me think of protein spilling into the urine - think of egg whites, egg whites are albumin. You whip egg whites and they get foamy. Same is true of urine with albumin (protein) - you urinate and it can look foamy. Since your were so recently checked, it seems unlikely you could have developed mircoablumin from you diabetes.... Sometimes people normally spill protein for various reason. I read up on daonil and didn't see a side effect of urine sudsing. I suspect you will need to check with your doctor.
Here is a quote from Wikipedia - Proteinuria (/prəʊtiː'n(j)ʊəriə/, from protein and urine) means the presence of an excess of serum proteins in the urine. The protein in the urine often causes the urine to become foamy, although foamy urine may also be caused by bilirubin in the urine (bilirubinuria), retrograde ejaculation, pneumaturia (air bubbles in the urine) due to a fistula, or drugs such as pyridium. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteinuria

Janakpur, July 9
CPN-UML chairman Jhalanath Khanal Saturday said that the announcement of the new election was only a drama staged by the Maoist-led government.
He also said it was not possible to hold the Constituent Assembly (CA) election in the stipulated deadline.
Speaking at the closing session of the Janakpur Zonal meeting of the UML cadres in Janakpur, Khanal said that the Prime Minister was trying to impose dictatorship by creating anarchy in the country.
At the function, Khanal also demanded the resignation of the prime minister.
Stating that Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai had taken a un-constitutional step, Khanal demanded his resignation.
"The Prime Minister announced the CA election without forging political consensus," he said.
He said, "The declaration of the new CA election is only a drama of the government."
He said that as the UCPN-Maoist was also against the election, the announcement of the new polls was only a drama.
He said that the Maoists were polarising and
dividing the nation and it was the duty of all people to save the nation from further polarization and division.
The country was facing a transitional political crisis and the national consensus was the only way to resolve the ongoing political deadlock and end the transitional period, he said.
He said ‘One Madhes, One province’ was not the demand of the Madhesi people as such a demand would divide the nation and the people.
Khanal clarified that his party was not against the federal system.
He said, "The UML wants to establish the rights of all people of the country. We want to establish the rights of marginalised, Dalit and ethnic communities through the new constitution."
UML secretary Yubaraj Gyawali urged the party leaders and cadres to implement the party policy and programme to establish federalism in the country.

Joe Biden's recent remarks that after Obama is elected, there will be a manufactured crisis somewhere in the world to test him brings up some interesting points. When a nation chooses a young and inexperienced leader, especially one that has a history of opposing armed conflict, it is only natural for America's enemies to choose this time to test us.
This has happened historically many times, not just to America but also throughout history. It happened when we elected John Kennedy and Khrushchev decided to test us with the Cuban missile crisis. It happened when England chose Margaret Thatcher as prime minister and Argentina decided that was the right time to test England. Margaret Thatcher was not young and inexperienced, but in the male-dominated macho world of Argentina, it was just assumed that a woman would not be a strong leader. If they had done their research they would have found out that she wasn't called the Iron Lady for nothing.
Part of this is of no fault of Obama himself. He can't control how old he is or how much experience he has. But part of it is the fact that he ran his whole campaign on the premise that we need to get out of Iraq quickly as possible. This could cause extremist groups all over the world that oppose our presence anywhere to attack us and hope that we leave. He will have no choice but to fight back, and fight back hard, to prove himself and prevent future tests. There is a very strong possibility that this could lead to another war that we don't really have the troops and the manpower to effectively fight right now.
Of course, Obama's supporters will point out that that he is almost exactly the same age and has almost exactly the same years of experience in government as Sarah Palin. Of course, there are two major differences, one she's running for vice president, not president and two she has a reputation for being a very tough fighter.
Although McCain's critics a point out that he might be a little erratic and have a bad temper, that is just the kind of leader that no one really wants to test. Nixon sought to convince the North Vietnamese that he was just a little crazy to improve his bargaining position. Somehow I can't help but think about Richard Pryor's attempt to convince his cellmates, in one of his movies, that he was insane so they would leave him alone.
One of the reasons that virtually everyone in the rest of the world wants America to elect Obama is they think that he will not be assertive on the world stage, and America's power and influence will diminish. And of course each of those countries hopes that partially they will be there to replace that influence. But I believe it is in interest of the United States that we choose a leader like McCain, who no one will dare test. An international crisis and possibly a third war are something we just cannot afford at this moment in our history.

The Jenny Wren is the vertical boilered version of the Lilliput. They are both similar size, in fact they share many of the same mechanical parts. The Lilliput boiler is somewhat larger, despite appearances. The length of the Lilliput boiler is equal to the height of the Jenny Wren boiler plus firebox. The engine unit is identical. It was supplied as a kit of parts, all ready machined and easily assembled with a modicum of soldering skill and a set of agile fingers being the only requirements.
The overall height is 78mm. The vertical boiler is 22mm diameter and a bit more than that in height. (Although the outer casing being integral with the firebox, it looks bigger.) It has a single flue tube, integral with the chimney. The recommended water level is "1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon" which is about 3ml. The 15mm dia. tank for the burner holds enough meths for about 10 minutes running. The meths is fed via a thin pipe to a small wick under the boiler.
The minuscule cylinder is 3mm dia. with a stroke of about 5mm. This drives the 24mm dia. flywheel at one hell of a lick with no load! There is no power take-off point provided but I'm sure the flywheel boss could be extended to provide a mounting for a pulley or gear wheel. There's not much torque but plenty of revs so, with suitable gearing, the power would not be insignificant.

So I came across some pics a few years ago on summit post of Sacajawea in the Wallowas. I've been hooked.., Finally have the possibility to car camp and tour out there two days next week.
I'm broke I can't afford yurts... looking for day trip suggestions, general beta on where to head for some fun stuff and getting acquainted. General advice would be awesome. Anyone know if skinning from wallowa lake is doable or stupid? it seems they plow there from what I've found on the internet.
Joined: Tue Dec 07, 2004 12:29 pm Posts: 135 Location: Bend, OR
I'd say for your first time just go and camp in the Salt Creek Summit sno park. Plenty of space, day trippers to get beta from and great access to some good terrain. Going from Wallowa lake could work, but more driving and not sure if it's plowed all the time. If you've got the legs/fitness you can drop peaks from the SCS lot.
Thanks guy's I think I've answered a lot of my own questions with a lot of additional googling.... I'm excited to finally scope the area and will post a TR if I accomplish anything when I finally get to go.
And don't forget Terminal Gravity brews while you're out there!
Yeah, if they're open. They have weird hours and only open wed-sat 4-11pm.
Joey, I don't think sacajawea peak is a good idea this time of the year. Coverage looked pretty scarce of some parts of each aspect from the photos I came across the internet. Four of us just got back from a hut trip out there this past weekend and there's plenty day-trip option within the Salt Creek Sno-park. You can check this site out http://eaglecapbc.com/. They have some trip reports near Wallowa lake.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, Oct. 12, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It is a private college that is getting public funding. We are taking you on a tour of the new Health Education and Learning center at Paine College. We had one question: What's in it for you?
"We're on schedule, and it's going to be a great place," said Paine College Administrator Brandon Brown as we took an exclusive hard hat tour of the HEAL complex.
"It's really going to add a major complement to the institution," Brown said.
Brown says students can look forward to smart classrooms.
"With the smart classroom technology, we really don't have any limits to what we can do," Brown said. "We can literally pipe in other classes to this facility."
The center is a slam dunk for players, too. It is the new home of the Lions.
"They ask me, 'When are we getting in there?'" said Paine College Basketball Coach Jimmy Link.
The basketball team has been playing at local high schools.
"It's going to be really nice having a locker room and having an office." Link said.
The center will also boast workout space for taxpayers who helped fund the building. Richmond County taxpayers approved $2.5 million in SPLOST fund for the project.
"If you live in Richmond County, you're saying taxpayers can come here and work out for free?" we asked.
"For free," Brown said. "We will have designated hours because here at Paine College we want to heal the community. This is what this center is designed to do."
The center will also have a multipurpose gym with skyboxes for special events.
"Banquets. Dances. More proms," said Tiffany Brook, director of development and a Paine College alum. "Everyone can come back meet fellowship on our own home course."
This is a $9 million project. Seven events have already been booked. It is expected to open in January 2012.

Sydney here I come..... Flying out ridiculously early tomorrow to the Lucky country and hope some of that luck will rub off on me at the Finders Keepers market.... Back in town on the 8th so time to get lots of goodies ready for Kraftbomb on Dec 20th!! So DON'T leave Auckland town too early or you will miss out on a Trixie Christmas!
I've always made stuff and wanted to be an artist from the age of 14.I made my way to Art School in the late 80s and graduated with a BFA, majoring in Sculpture. After a short exhibiting career,I quickly discovered being a full time artist doesn't pay the bills, so went the commercial route.
I've worked in graphic design, audio visual and freelance set design as well as garden design and maintenance.In the mid 90s
my boyfriend and I got married at City Hall in Manhattan New York. We eloped actually as no-one knew until we were back home.I have two children, a boy Jasper and a girl Madison,named after Madison Avenue.

Heat cream in a large microwave proof jug until just below boiling, about 50 seconds on high. Add chocolate and leave to sit for a couple of minutes then whisk until smooth. If necessary give another little blat in the microwave. (You can of course do the same by heating the cream in a pot on the stove!) Whisk hot espresso into chocolate and cream and leave to cool for half an hour. Whisk egg white to firmish peaks then fold (kind of whisk really) into chocolate mixture. Pour into coffee glasses and chill for at least 6 hours before serving. Can be made the day before. Serve dusted with a little cocoa powder, with a couple of biscotti on the side. (Please do make the espresso ‘ristretto’ style super strong – undrinkable – beacause when it is chilled and mixed with the luscious creamy chocolate, it will lose a lot of it’s kick!). Take out of the fridge 10 minutes before serving 🙂
Well it’s that time of year again – red roses triple in price, tender hearts hope for anonymous notes, young romantics stress about buying the perfect token of their affection, and old-marrieds get to raise a glass to each other in satisfaction for having made it this far! Valentine’s Day. In typical fashion my valentine will be in Chicago on the 14th, so we sneaked in a lovely lunch at our favourite Italian restaurant before he flew off. To finish up, we both opted for a strong espresso – probably trying for an antidote to the lunch-time wine. A strong hit of coffee is such a fab way to finish a meal, and here I have combined the coffee hit with rich dark chocolate to make a perfect Valentine’s dessert. With Chocolate, Coffee and Hazelnut Biscotti for scooping, you have a nutty crunch to pair with the luscious, smooth extra-rich mousse. And because it’s Valentine’s Day the mousse serves only 2 – Rich the 16-year old reckons if you don’t have someone to celebrate the day with, you get the compensation of eating both. I think he might be on to something.
120g 70% dark chocolate, chopped into chunks
3 tbsp extra super-strong espresso
1 egg white
1 tbsp Dutch dark cocoa powder
3/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp butter, softened
1 tbsp extra strong espresso
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup Dutch dark cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup roasted, skinned hazelnuts
1/2 cup 70% dark chocolate, chopped into chunks
In a mixer whisk sugar, butter, egg and espresso until sugar is dissolved and mixture has thickened. Sift in flour, cocoa and baking powder then use a wooden spoon to mix to a firm dough. Add hazelnuts and chocolate and use a bit of bicep power to combine into dough. Plop the whole lot onto the bench and form into two skinny logs, each about 15cm long. Put on a baking tray lined with baking paper and chill for at least half an hour.
Preheat oven to 180˚C (350˚F) and bake logs for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and trust me – they look really horrible, but it’s all OK. Leave them to cool until almost room temperature – about an hour, then slice into diagonal pieces about 1/2 cm thick – I like my biscotti quite fine – up to you if you want to go a little thicker. Reduce oven temperature to 140˚C (275˚F). Line another tray with baking paper and lay out biscotti. Bake a further 15-20 minutes until dry and crisp. Leave to cool on the trays for 15 minutes before transferring to a rack. Store in an airtight container. Makes about 35.

The last official team update on Nash came on Nov. 16, stating that he’d be out one more week, to be re-evaluated by Dr. Steve Lombardo. The team had discussed sending Nash for an MRI on Monday, but ultimately decided against it. Alternatively, Nash will increase his activity level slightly to include agility drills and jogging – he’d previously been doing cardio on an elliptical machine.
Head athletic trainer Gary Vitti and his staff will monitor Nash’s work outs, and continue to evaluate him on a daily basis as they determine when he’s ready to return to practice, and eventually games.
Blake, meanwhile, has improved from the abdominal strain he aggravated against Sacramento on Nov. 11, but not to the point that he’s ready to resume practicing. He’s listed as day-to-day, and will be continually evaluated.
The Lakers have made it clear that they want both point guards for the long haul. Coach Mike D’Antoni suggested after Monday’s practice that he’d far prefer having both guys able to go through the rest of the games upon returning, as opposed to coming back too quickly and re-injuring themselves.
In the meantime, Darius Morris and Chris Duhon have both been effective: Morris utilizing his athleticism on defense and in transition; and Duhon knocking down 50 percent of his field goals, 46.7 percent of his threes and initiating the offense he learned under D’Antoni in New York.
Furthermore, Kobe Bryant has taken on additional ballhandling duties, particularly in screen/roll sets, which has been very effective for L.A.’s offense. He’s eager to get back to his role of primary scorer once Nash and Blake return, but said he’s quite comfortable filling in where needed in the meantime.

Via People, Josh Radnor (who appeared in Rise earlier this year in addition to his aforementioned turn on How I Met Your Mother) will be a part of Thursday’s new Grey’s Anatomy episode in the role of this mystery man. This is a character who may be set up via the matchmaker that we’ve seen throughout the season to date, and we hope that he’s a nice guy given that Meredith deserves it. Yet, there is some appeal for us in potentially seeing Radnor play a total jerk given that so many of his characters, while at times flawed, are often rather wholesome and kind.

Maybe this is a romance that just doesn’t work out for Meredith; or, maybe it does! Given that Radnor is not a series regular on another show at the moment, there is a good chance that the character would appear in more than one episode depending on just how well he is received.
There are some other romantic possibilities that are theoretically out there for this character. Just remember that Ortho God Link (played by Chris Carmack) is still new to the scene and, despite whatever early affections he could have for Amelia, feels like a possibility. Meanwhile, we know that Meredith has already had a dream about sleeping with DeLuca, who is certainly a possibility even if their statuses at the hospital could make everything a little messy. (Granted, this is Grey’s Anatomy — when are things ever tidy? This show is almost always a mess.)

Waugh, Evelyn 1903–1966
A British novelist, short story writer, biographer, and writer of travel sketches, Waugh first gained renown for his satires on the "Bright Young People" of London between the wars. Brideshead Revisited was his most popular book in the United States and reflected his conversion to Catholicism. Waugh was a member of a distinguished literary family: his father was the critic and publisher Arthur Waugh, his brother novelist Alec Waugh, and his son, Auberon Waugh, is also a novelist. The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold is Waugh's moving self-portrait of a tormented writer. (See also CLC, Vols. 1, 3, 8, and Contemporary Authors, obituary, Vols. 25-28, rev. ed.)
Nothing can taste staler today than some of the stuff that seemed to mean something [at the end of the twenties], that gave us twinges of bitter romance and thrills of vertiginous drinking. But The Great Gatsby and The Sun Also Rises hold up; and my feeling is that [Waugh's novels of the period] are the only things written in England that are comparable to Fitzgerald and Hemingway. They are not so poetic; they are perhaps less intense; they belong to a more classical tradition. But I think that they are likely to last and that Waugh, in fact, is likely to figure as the only first-rate comic genius that has appeared in English since Bernard Shaw.
The great thing about Decline and Fall, written when the author was twenty-five, was its breath-taking spontaneity. The latter part of the book leans a little too heavily on Voltaire's Candide, but the early part, that hair-raising harlequinade in a brazenly bad boys' school, has an audacity that is altogether Waugh's and that was to prove the great principle of his art. This audacity is personified here by an hilarious character called Grimes. Though a schoolmaster and a "public-school man," Grimes is frankly and even exultantly everything that is most contrary to the British code of good behavior…. This audacity in Waugh's next book, Vile Bodies, is the property of the infantile young people who, at a time "in the near future, when existing social tendencies have become more marked," are shown drinking themselves into beggary, entangling themselves in absurd sexual relationships, and getting their heads cracked in motor accidents. The story has the same wild effect of reckless improvisation, which perfectly suits the spirit of the characters; but it is better sustained than Decline and Fall, and in one passage it sounds a motif which for the first time suggests a standard by which the behavior of these characters is judged: the picture of Anchorage House with its "grace and dignity and other-worldliness," and its memories of "people who had represented their country in foreign places and sent their sons to die for her in battle, people of decent and temperate life, uncultured, unaffected, unembarrassed, unassuming, unambitious people, of independent judgment and marked eccentricities."
In Black Mischief there is a more coherent story and a good deal of careful planning to bring off the surprises and shocks…. We note that with each successive book Evelyn Waugh is approaching closer to the conventions of ordinary fiction: with each one—and the process will continue—we are made to take the characters more seriously as recognizable human beings living in the world we know. Yet the author never reaches this norm: he keeps his grasp on the comic convention of which he is becoming a master—the convention which makes it possible for him to combine the outrageous with the plausible without offending our sense of truth…. There are two important points to be noted in connection with Black Mischief. The theme of the decline of society is here not presented merely in terms of night-club London: it is symbolized by the submergence of the white man in the black savagery he is trying to exploit. The theme of audacity is incarnated here, not in a Philbrick or a Grimes, but in a bad-egg aristocrat, who steals his mother's emeralds to run away from England, manipulates the politics of Azania by talking modern ideas to the native king and, forced at last to flee the jungle, eats his sweetheart unawares at a cannibal feast.
A Handful of Dust, which followed, is, it seems to me, the author's masterpiece. Here he has perfected his method to a point which must command the admiration of another...

Evelyn Waugh, like Charles Ryder [the narrator of Brideshead Revisited], is an architectural painter who sees, with anger, horror, and a kind of fascination, the destruction of old homes, the decay of institutions, the death of meaningful values. But Waugh refuses to create a merely sentimental picture of the achievements of the past at the moment of extinction; he insists, rather, upon recording in scrupulous detail the actual process of demolition. In Waugh's satiric vision, seeming trivial events—the breaking up of a manor house, the redecoration of an old room with chromium plating, a drunken brawl in an Oxford courtyard—are symbols of a massive, irreversible, and terrifying victory of barbarism and the powers of darkness over civilization and light. Waugh's early novels, especially Decline and Fall (1928), Vile Bodies (1930), Black Mischief (1932), and A Handful of Dust (1934) are chronicles of that awful triumph. (p. 4)
The wholesale demolition of the value structures of the past and the creation in their place of a vile and absurd habitation is the central theme of Waugh's early novels. However, this theme does not always manifest itself in terms of a destroyed manor house. Man, in his fear and anxiety over the loss of values, unconsciously seeks dehumanization, but he may become a sort of animal as well as a machine…. [In Waugh's novels the] savage coexists perfectly with the streamlined man…. Against the technological skill of the machine and the voracity of the savage, culture, refinement, and tradition have little defense. The jungle is always threatening to overrun the city, the work crews are always tearing down a country estate, and hordes of howling aristocrats and gate-crashers are always sullying the sacred preserves of order and decency. (pp. 6-7)
Paul Pennyfeather, the young man so rudely thrust into the world [in Decline and Fall], is singularly unsuited for its trials, for Paul is a shadow-man, completely passive, completely innocent. One of Waugh's favorite satiric devices is suddenly to catapult a totally naïve individual into a grotesque and uncontrollable world, for, with this technique, he can expose both the corruption of society and the hopelessness of naïve goodness and simple-minded humanism. Since the essence of Waugh's criticism of Paul Pennyfeather's innocence is that it is too simple to cope with the complexities of the world, one cannot expect complex character delineation, and indeed Paul's flatness is very carefully and successfully pursued. "Paul Pennyfeather would never have made a hero," Waugh blandly observes in the middle of the novel, "and the only interest about him arises from the unusual series of events of which his shadow was witness."… (p. 8)
[The] laying of absurd religious doubt by equally absurd religious conviction, is the sort of hilarious and gruesome irony Waugh delights in…. [Gratuitous cruelty is] a quality of Waugh's work which many readers have found disturbing. The grotesque, the unreasonable, and the cruel are always asserting themselves in the satirist's world…. The amputation of Lord Tangent's gangrenous foot and his death, reported in widely separated and totally undramatic asides, are the source of great amusement in Decline and Fall. The deliberate accumulation of cruel details creates the atmosphere of [the novel's] world…. (p. 10)
[There is, however] a vital principle which has remained completely untouched by the change. This principle manifests itself in "the primitive promptings of humanity," epitomized by Captain Grimes…. Grimes is a powerful life-force existing outside the pale of conventional morality, and, audacious, elusive, outrageous, free, he represents the spirit of Decline and Fall. The growth of Waugh's pessimism is reflected in his treatment of Grimes spiritual heirs. Father Rothschild, S.J., in Vile Bodies and Krikor Youkoumian in Black Mischief are far less sympathetic, until, with Mrs. Beaver, in A Handful of Dust, the vital principle has become triumphant opportunism and moral blankness. (p. 11)
Decline and Fall was characterized by its wild audacity, but Vile Bodies is a comedy haunted by an inexplicable sadness…. One of the curious qualities of Vile Bodies is the reader's inability to discriminate between guilt and innocence. In Decline and Fall Paul Pennyfeather was clearly an innocent suddenly thrown into a corrupt world, but the distinction is blurred in Vile Bodies. Adam sells his fiancée … and is an adulterer, but at the same time he exhibits an extraordinary naïveté and innocence, for he is conscious of breaking no moral norms.
Vile Bodies is an experimental novel. There is practically no plot and no continuity of narrative. The scenes shift wildly from the stormy English Channel to a party given for Mrs. Melrose Ape, the noted evangelist; from the intrigues of Father Rothschild, S.J., and the Prime Minister Walter Outrage to the small talk of two middle-class ladies on a train; from the drawing room of a huge mansion to the grease pit at the auto races. With this technique of disconnected and seemingly irrelevant scenes, Waugh is attempting to portray a world that is chaotic and out of joint. Readers have complained, with some justification, that the technique is all too successful, that the novel is disjointed and slights the affairs of Adam Fenwick-Symes and Nina Blount; but Vile Bodies is not a love story. Adam and Nina are significant only as representatives of the sickness of an entire generation, and their thwarted attempt to marry is meaningful and interesting only as a symbol of the frustrated search for values of all the Bright Young People. (pp. 12-14)
The fate of the old order with its decency, culture, and stability is represented by the fate of Anchorage House, the last survivor of the noble town houses of London…. A party at Anchorage House, "anchored" in custom and tradition, is juxtaposed with an orgy held by the Bright Young People in a dirigible, and the loss of the firm ground of the past is painfully obvious. (pp. 14-15)
Black Mischief is not a witty travelogue or, as some readers have felt, a vicious, racist attack on the African Negro. Rather, it treats precisely the themes of the earlier works—the shabbiness of Western culture, the decline and fall of institutions, the savagery underlying society.
Black Mischief chronicles the attempted modernization of a black nation by Seth, "Emperor of Azania, Chief of Chiefs of Sakuyu, Lord of Wanda and Tyrant of the Seas, Bachelor of the Arts of Oxford University."… As his title indicates, Seth's character is a paradoxical blend of savagery and civilization, the cannibal feast and the drawing room. He is unpredictable, cruel, naïve, insanely optimistic, lonely, terrified…. Seth's modernity … is not a meaningless label or a thin veneer of culture concealing the dominating violence of his black soul, for the meaning of Black Mischief is not the impossibility of civilizing the Negro. That the ideal of Progress in which Seth so fervently believes turns out to be a shabby concatenation of inane conventions is a condemnation far more of the cultivated Westerner than of the African. Seth serves the artistic purpose of a Paul Pennyfeather: he is a naïve outsider who, in his contact with an alien society, is the means of satirizing that society. (pp. 16-17)
The abortive attempt to modernize Azania is not a statement of the African nation's inability to share in the glories of civilization but a sly and satiric examination of modernity itself. The struggle which Seth envisages as a mortal combat between barbarism and Progress is a miserable sham, for Western culture itself is no longer meaningful. Those Western ideas which might have given Seth's project real significance have been abandoned…. The inspiring motto "Through Sterility to Culture" is the banner not merely of the participants in the birth-control pageant but of the entire European...

Work Suspended is the most enigmatic of Waugh's writings. Its mockery of socialism and philistinism is of course quite in keeping with his rôle as the right-wing Catholic apologist defending 'civilization' from the 'barbarians', but the emotional intensity of the work, expressed in a more conventional and committed prose style than that of the five early novels is surprising. Although unfinished, Work Suspended has an evasive cohesion, perhaps because the characterization appears to be based on values and assumptions which derive from a private world beyond the text. (p. 302)
Even when allowance is made for the narrating persona, Waugh appears to be laying his literary soul open in an...
