Progressive edematous lesions in subacute phase after neuroendovascular therapy. 28-Aug-2018;9:173. Available from: http://surgicalneurologyint.com/surgicalint-articles/8990/
Background:The appearance of edematous lesions in the subacute phase is a rare complication following neuroendovascular therapy. Effective management of these lesions remains unclear. In this report, a case with progressive edematous lesions in the subacute phase after neuroendovascular therapy was described, and the clinical features and therapeutic strategies were discussed.
Case Description:A 54-year-old female with a large, right cavernous internal carotid artery aneurysm was treated with a flow diverter. Left hemiparesis developed 15 days after the procedure, and multiple edematous lesions in areas of prior catheter procedures were revealed on radiological findings. Steroid pulse therapy was employed, and the lesions were gradually reduced without any additional neurological deficits. No recurrence was recognized in the follow-up study.
Conclusion:In some reports, pathological findings indicate that these lesions result from the presence of foreign bodies, and emboli could be caused by cotton fibers or hydrophilic polymers used as surface coatings on endovascular catheters. In this case, the edematous lesions were most likely caused by hydrophilic polymer emboli. Steroid pulse therapy had a beneficial effect on the lesions. It is important to effectively manage prescribed periods after the procedure to avoid such a rare complication.
Keywords: Flow diverter, foreign body emboli, hydrophilic polymer, neuroendovascular therapy
Neuroendovascular therapy is commonly used for intracranial aneurysms. Recently, the complication rate of this procedure is relatively low and mostly includes thromboembolic events and intraprocedure aneurysm rupture. Foreign body emboli in the distal cerebral arteries during neuroendovascular therapy are occasionally encountered, and are a potential cause of ischemic stroke and parenchymal hemorrhage. Of these cases, there have been only a few reports concerning focal edematous lesions.[
A 54-year-old female with a history of nephrotic syndrome and hypertension presented with a persistent headache at her local clinic. A right thrombosed cavernous internal carotid artery aneurysm measuring 22.5 × 19.7 × 19.2 mm was detected on computed tomography angiography (CTA). She was introduced to our hospital and underwent flow diverter deployment for the aneurysm with a pipeline embolization device (PED) (Covidien, Irvine, California, USA). Under general anesthesia, a 5 Fr Navien 058 Intracranial Support Catheter (Covidien, Irvine, California, USA) and a Marksman Catheter (Covidien, Irvine, California, USA) were advanced over the neck of the aneurysm using a 0.014 inch Asahi Chikai microguidewire (Asahi Intecc, Aichi, Japan) through the shuttle sheath. A 4.75/20 mm PED was deployed to cover the neck of the aneurysm through the triaxial system, and the stent was re-sheathed twice. The procedure was performed in 61 min without any complications [Figure
T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging after the procedure showed no edema (a) and diffusion-weighted imaging showed a few hyperintensities in the right hemisphere (b). Magnetic resonance imaging 28 days after the procedure showed multiple edematous lesions in the right hemisphere (c), although there were no remarkable changes in diffusion-weighted imaging (d). Magnetic resonance imaging 42 days after the procedure showed a progression of edemas (e), though there were no remarkable changes on diffusion-weighted imaging (f). Magnetic resonance imaging after three courses of steroid pulse therapy (81 days after the procedure) showed a regression of edemas (g), and Gd-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging showed residual multiple enhancing lesions (h)
Clinical features of edematous lesions following neuroendovascular therapy are summarized in
Cerebral foreign body emboli could be related to intercatheter friction, made increasingly common by the adoption of the triaxial catheter technique for deployment of a flow diverter. For that reason, the incidence of this complication is expected to increase in the near future. Treatment with a flow diverter is currently on the rise for both large and giant unruptured aneurysms. Advanced catheter stability is necessary to obtain a precise and secure delivery of the device. To achieve this stability, it is customary to use the triaxial catheter technique, which can lead to increased friction between catheters and may create a predisposition for small emboli from the coating of the catheters. Our case might also be associated with the use of tight-fitting catheter combinations to deploy the device. The accumulation of similar cases is necessary to more fully understand the technical factors involved.

Cosatu has warned that Durban would come to a standstill when its membership in KwaZulu-Natal took to the streets on Wednesday to protest against state capture, corruption and job losses. The trade union federation was bent on sending a clear message to the ANC about toeing the alliance line in the race to succeed Jacob Zuma as the party’s next leader.

Reports on Sunday about the possibility of an election rerun in Nelson Mandela Bay “where a DA-led coalition has been in government, seek to distract us from the most pertinent issues”, he said. The reality was that the people of NMB had rejected the African National Congress at the ballot box during the 2016 local government elections. They made it clear, through their vote, that they wanted total change. They gave the DA and its coalition partners the mandate to govern with the commitment

Preventing muscle loss is crucial as you age. In an interview with Prevention magazine, Doug Paddon-Jones, Ph.D., a professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, states that people lose around 1% muscle mass per year after the age of 40.
But that doesn’t have to occur. Science shows preventing muscle loss is possible, and it is not that difficult to do. All it takes is proper nutrition and proper exercise.
Preventing Muscle Loss and Sarcopenia
Muscle loss is common with age, especially after the age of 50. Our muscle cells are in a continual process of growth, called “anabolism,” and teardown, called “catabolism.” This is accomplished through a signaling process between growth hormones and protein-destroying enzymes. The aging process appears to make the muscles resistant to growth hormones, leaving them with just the signals from the protein-destroying hormones. Muscle loss is the inevitable result.
There are, however, a couple additional risk factors for developing sarcopenia.
Inactivity: The muscles need resistance to trigger the entire breakdown and rebuild cycle, and research shows you are never too old to build muscle!
Insufficient intake of protein: Studies show that alarming numbers of seniors have protein deficiencies. This is likely because of the physical effort of cooking and chewing required of protein. Consuming enough protein is essential for normal, healthy muscle mass because protein is made of amino acids, the building blocks of muscle.
Inability to digest and absorb protein: Many seniors cannot absorb some nutrients as easily as they did in their younger years.
Symptoms of Sarcopenia
Symptoms of sarcopenia include:
- Muscle Degeneration
- Decreased Activity
- Mobility Issues
- Weak Bones (Sarcopenia often accompanies osteoporosis.)
- Decrease in resting metabolic rate, leading to weight gain, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, abnormal cholesterol/triglyceride levels, and high blood pressure
These are terrible symptoms and conditions that do not have to occur. Preventing muscle loss with nutrition can stop, slow, or reverse this process.

How to Select the best gambling sites online
In terms of safety online gambling comes with many advantages. It is legal in the United States and has strict security standards. You can also gamble without fear because the gambling industry in this country is fully regulated. However, there are some things you must do to remain safe.

If you get bored playing the same slot machine over and over and over, you’ll soon be moving on. There are many games that are like casino slots. These online slots feature the same reel-spinning action as traditional slot machines, and have the identical brand names, sounds and payout percentages.
There are a few aspects you should consider when selecting a gambling website. A range of games is the primary thing you should look for. If you aren’t able to find a game that you like then you’ll probably want to abandon the site and find a different one. Luckily, there are many great online games that are similar to the ones found in traditional casinos neteller casinos australia. For instance, online slot machines feature the identical brands, sounds, progressives, and paylines as real-life slot machines. In addition, they typically have the same payout percentages as real-life machines.
A gambling site should offer an array of games when it comes to bonuses. If not, players will become bored and quit playing. This is especially important for slot machines, since they are very similar to their counterparts. Online players have many options to choose from so they can decide on the game they want to play.

Weymouth wants to offer free, full-day kindergarten next year
WEYMOUTH — Officials are hoping this school year will be the last that parents of kindergarten-age students have to pay to send them to Weymouth Public Schools.
"I am delighted. This is long overdue and I'm so happy that this seems to be favorable with this board," Kathy Prince, a Weymouth resident, said at a school committee meeting this week. "It’s long overdue that the children in Weymouth get the same opportunities as 95 percent of the other children in the state."
Want news like this sent straight to your inbox? Head over to PatriotLedger.com to sign up for alerts and make sure you never miss a thing. You pick the news you want, we deliver.
School administrators this week told school committee members exactly what the district would need to be able to provide free, full-day kindergarten to all Weymouth families starting next fall. Weymouth has offered full-day kindergarten since 2009, but charges $3,500 per student and uses a lottery system to fill seats.
"Not only are we not tuition free, we are in the highest rate for fees that we charge," Superintendent Jennifer Curtis-Whipple said.
To offer full-day kindergarten to every family in Weymouth, the district would need 20 kindergarten classes, administrators said. There are currently 12 full-day classes and six half-day classes. To add the extra classes, the district would need to hire an additional five teachers, eight teaching assistants known as paraprofessionals and six specialists.
In all, Curtis-Whipple estimates that universal kindergarten would cost $1.48 million per year but says the cost for the first year would be offset by this year's tuition payments. She said the district would need to budget $770,056 for the next fiscal year, and the total amount for every fiscal year after that.
"Education is like building a house. If you screw up the foundation – it's over. I see our investment in this being worth it," John Sullivan, school committee member, said. "But $700,000 is 1 percent of our budget. Is that something we can just find in the budget? No. So that’s the challenge.'
If school committee members vote to move forward with the plan, they'll include the necessary money in their budget and hope the Weymouth council approves their proposal. If the council can't find the money, Curtis-Whipple said they'd have to consider cutting current teaching positions to make room for the new staff members.
"We’d have to make some very tough decisions," she said.
The other major hurdle for offering universal kindergarten is physical space. When officials pitched the now-approved Chapman Middle School building and Abigail Adams Middle School renovation project, their plans included enough space for all the necessary kindergarten classrooms. But while those project are underway, offering universal kindergarten would mean displacing some art and music teachers, Curtis-Whipple said.
Instead of those teachers having their own designated spaces, they would temporarily have to teach their classes in students' regular homeroom, something Curtis-Whipple called art or music "on a cart."
"Is it ideal for them not to have that space? No, not at all," she said. "But this would be a short-term situation and once we got to the point of redistricting and opening Adams as the ninth primary school . . . that would open space back up and we would make sure we gave those spaces back to the specialist staff."
At this week's school committee meeting, two dozen parents turned up to lend their support.
Weymouth is currently one of a handful of districts on the South Shore that don’t offer free, full-day kindergarten, and the region as a whole lags behind the rest of the state in its kindergarten offerings. As of now, fewer than 40 of the of the state’s 317 school districts charge tuition for full-day kindergarten, and nearly a dozen of those are on the South Shore.
“Money should not be a motivator in picking the right public school for your child," Sharon Ennis, a mother of three, said.

Ireland’s eating habits are certainly far from any sort of ‘Gold Standard’ and according to a recent survey, we are the third biggest consumer of “Ultra processed” foods in Europe.
Is this surprising? I mean, Tallaght is home to one of the busiest Domino’s Pizza in the world. Yes, a town with 278,749 people is literally out eating the rest of the world in pizza.
If some of the recently published surveys are to go by, we really do have a problem. In 2016, a national survey that looked at 900 people found that one in five are eating processed foods at least three times a week (If you include fast food takeaways the figure increases to one in three).
The most worrying aspect of this study is that some scientists have suggested links between consumption of ultra-processed foods to cancer, obesity, high blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
The biggest issue with these foods isn’t that people are eating them while living a balanced and healthy lifestyle. In the research paper, it suggested that the coupling of other lifestyle choices like, not exercising enough and smoking regularly while consuming too much processed food led to higher risks of cancer and other related diseases.
The survey carried out in 2016 by The Wholefood Revolution, an Irish recipe box service provider estimated that eight out of ten hospital admissions are because of lifestyle related diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and Type 2 Diabetes.
It also showed that two-thirds of us eat less than five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. The “5-a-day” rule was never set out as a maximum effort, it is actually the minimum you should be eating a day.
Do not fear. To help you through this sinister mess The Edition teamed up with DIT’s Nutrition Society who did some research into the ins and outs of ultra-processed foods, how to avoid them and why.
According to Sarah Nagel, who conducted the research alongside other members of the Nutrition soc, we must first look at the difference between processed and ultra-processed food.
“‘Processed’ foods are any food that has been altered in some way during production…. an ultra-processed food is one made from complex processing techniques with substances rarely found in the kitchen,” Sarah said.
A ‘processed’ food can mean they were, frozen, canned or that ingredients like salts, sugar and flavourings have been added. This is done for reasons like improved shelf life, convenience when cooking and even just to add colour to an otherwise colourless food.
Examples of these foods include: Breakfast cereals, tinned and frozen vegetables, bread, crisps, chocolate, sweets and flavoured milks.
What makes a processed food an ‘ultra’ is the use of flavourings and additives. This category of food is usually of poorer nutritional value and provide empty calories.
“They tend to be higher in salt, sugar and fat for example cakes, chocolate, crisps,
packet soups and noodles and, readymade meals. Try to avoid over-reliance on processed
meats as they tend to be high in salt, fat and nitrates like burgers, cured meats or meat
products,” Sarah said.
However, Sarah also acknowledges: “It is important that our diet is varied and well-balanced so that we get essential nutrients to keep us healthy. While yoghurts, cereals and frozen vegetables among others are considered ‘processed’ foods they are an important part of the diet and should not be excluded.”
Tips and tricks to a healthier lifestyle
The Nutrition Soc comprised some tips to keeping us on the right track throughout our day.
When out shopping:
- Make a shopping list and stick to it.
- Don’t be tempted by marketing ploys in shops i.e. convenience foods and treats at the checkouts, luxuries are at eye level.
- Use fresh produce where possible i.e. fruit, vegetables, meat and fish.
- Avail of special offers and reductions in fresh produce.
- Choose own-brand as these tend to be more affordable yet of similar nutritional quality.
- Avoid shopping when hungry as you tend to choose foods that are more processed with higher fat, sugar and salt contents than you would if you weren’t hungry.
- Read labels and look out for the traffic light symbol – this highlights food which are high in fat, sugar or salt and marks them as red.
When cooking remember:
- Double the recipe and freeze portions to avoid opting for readymade alternatives
- Mix and match fresh ingredients with processed ingredients i.e. pasta bake which uses cooked ham and pasta, Bolognese which mixes tinned tomatoes with fresh mincemeat and vegetables
- Avoid adding salt during preparation – instead opt for pepper, herbs, spices and seasonings
- Base sauces and dressings on fresh produce and avoid reliance on high salt and fat shop-bought alternatives
- Use the food pyramid as a guide when planning meals.

Considering Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is the first step toward restoring balance in your life. The loss of testosterone is difficult, whether initiated through age or trauma. Thankfully, the replacement of these hormones is now readily available and proven to be extremely effective. Reversing the levels of lost testosterone restores the wide number of afflictions associated with the hormone imbalance. Fatigue, irritability, muscle loss, libido, and even erectile dysfunction, are some of the effects of reduced testosterone. Their removal leads not only to a better quality of physical health but also a greater mental state.
To gauge whether TRT is the best choice for you, it is important to seek medical evaluation. Specialists, such as the Balance My Hormones TRT UK Clinic will be able to offer you advice and consultation with the intention to help you understand how TRT might work for you. Once you have been approved for the therapy, following the initial blood tests and diagnosis, depending on your method of treatment, you may pick up your prescription from a local pharmacy and begin right away. Some alternative methods of application, such as injection or implant, may require an appointment with your doctor or specialist.
The timeline you will experience once you begin the therapy depends on a number of aspects, primarily your own body. However, many people report changes taking place between three and six weeks, with some reporting noticeable changes taking place up to six months from the initial treatment.
Firstly, and with the first few weeks of therapy, you will probably feel your energy levels refreshing. This is likely to be both a physical and mental restoration. Alongside feeling more alert and attentive, many people report feeling increased levels of stamina. Quality of sleep, which is also a benefit restored through TRT, can help with this replenished level of energy.
Mood will also follow a similar trajectory with many patients reporting a loss of depression within a few weeks. Sexual desire may also re-appear as early as a few weeks before reaching its original level shortly after a month. Loss of libido is one of the most common prompts for people to consider TRT and it can often be dismissed as an untreatable, typical result of aging.
Some physical developments, such as the reinstated quality of erections for men, are likely to take longer. Experts acknowledge that erectile dysfunction may take up to six months to be cured. This also applies to a better feeling of orgasms, which may be lost during low levels of testosterone, as well as other qualities such as the quantity of ejaculate and penile numbness.
Muscle growth, strength, and body weight are likely to fluctuate and improve over a longer period. Depending on the corresponding diet and exercise regime, noticeable effects may take around six months to manifest, with some studies reporting even longer periods of time. Stamina and physical ability will also see an improvement around three months into treatment. These physical changes also prompt a reported rise in self-confidence and coincide with the reduced likelihood of depression.
The majority of other health impacts will appear within a similar timeframe. Only the increase and improvement in bone density is seen to develop over longer periods of time, with some reports acknowledging change up to three years after initial treatment. Many of the positive effects also involve the general quality of life. Numerous studies show patients describing improved wellbeing and relationships. This is associated with improved sleep, lowered anxiety, and body confidence, each of which can have a major impact on one’s life.
With the increasing number of prescriptions for testosterone each year, the benefits are clear. More people are choosing to improve their life by balancing their hormone levels to their potential. While the benefits of TRT may not happen overnight, the improvements are relatively quick. The improved standard of wellbeing may take only a couple of weeks and, for many, this change reinforces the fundamental reason behind adopting the therapy. It is important and usually requested, that you regularly correspond with your doctor during the therapy. This is to monitor your health and to eliminate the risk of any side effects that may occur.
One factor to consider when visualizing a timeline is the preliminary diagnosis process. Typically the process can take some time to initiate, and some doctors, particularly on the NHS, may be hesitant to quickly prescribe testosterone therapy. While you may be sure that you are suffering from hypogonadism and require TRT you will be required to have, sometimes multiple, blood tests and consultations. However, by finding the right and reputable endocrinologist who can identify your afflictions efficiently, you will be able to expedite an otherwise lengthy process and begin restoring your quality of life to what it once was.

I’m back from Barcelona, but as the new season of Wynonna Earp only comes out weekly and I’m already done with the new season of Orange is the New Black my days are empty. I did a bit of research and found another four-piece batch of LGBTQ+ series that will keep me entertained for the rest of Summer.
Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling presents the unexpected success of female wrestling on television in the 1980’s, in true Netflix fashion. I can safely say I have never seen a wrestling match in my life before watching this show. Since then, I’ve even attended live matches. The story is about a group of women who, unsuspecting, show up to an audition, only for the director to turn them into wrestlers in a blink of an eye. The first season introduces the characters, the main conflict is borne of the differences between the two main characters, Ruth (Zoya) and Debbie (Liberty Belle) both on a personal and on ring-politics level. By the end of the first season both of them turn out to be sympathetic, and the second season just doesn’t take itself seriously, making the overall tone of the series even better. Even though the LGBTQ+ arc only really comes into play by the end of the second season all the episodes are worth watching. The world is captivating and will pull you in very quickly.
Brooklyn Nine Nine
It took me a long while to get to this series, but at least I had five whole seasons to watch all at once. The story presents the life of a police station, and, let’s just say the tone isn’t necessarily serious. In the first season we ‘only’ get one LGBTQ+ hero, Ray Holt, the Black captain of the station, but by the fifth season we find out that Rosa Diaz (one of the detectives) is also bisexual. All the other characters are lovable too, and besides staying hilarious all the way through, the show also satirises the day-to-day politics of the US. For a moment it looked like the original network the show aired on would cancel it, but fortunately the NBC stepped in and a sixth season was greenlit. This way we can continue to follow Rosa’s bumbling efforts at dating.
Just like in the case of Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow, the characters come from the DC universe. In Freeland, the director of the local school is trying to save Black children via education, even though eight years before the beginning of the story he was doing the same as the superhero Black Lightning. After a new drug turns up in the city Black Lightning returns while one of his daughters, Anissa, also finds her powers. Anissa is a Black, educated lesbian girl, who after discovering her air-manipulating powers takes up the fight against the city’s drug-dealers while also trying to live up to her family’s expectations and dating. Superhero action is always central to DC series (except for Supergirl sometimes, which has gotten enough flack for this) – and so it is here also. Let’s hope the second season will show more of Anissa’s relationships.
The surprise of my Summer – I must admit I only watched it for the sake of the rec list, as I had other series lined up too. This drama is about two sisters, it takes place in California, in the Latino community and starts after the death of the girls’ mother. Emma is a successful businesswoman, Lyn is living the high life in a big city. When they get the bad news, they have to put their lives on hold and go back to their hometown for the funeral. In their old home they meet Eddy - along with a score of old problems that piled up over the years. Both girls have to face their pasts and there are a lot of unresolved issues. All characters are interesting but Emma is my personal favourite because she’s simply smart, all her actions show she knows what she’s doing and she’s radiating confidence. If you sit down to watch the show, I can guarantee you’ll only get up after the sixth episode.

We can tell that they really want to win the awesome prizes from our fabulous sponsors this week! Let’s just recap what they are, shall we?
1. $100 Gift Card to Royal Design Studio.
RDS is our go-to source for all of our stencil projects and our run on CWTS last year was where we were first introduced to them!
2. A pair of $120 Robert Allen pillows from Chic Decor Pillows
These pillows are hand-made and absolutely gorgeous. We’re sorta jealous that we don’t get them.
3. Project featured by HomeTalk, which, come on, is kind of a big deal.
These are pretty fabulous prizes, but let’s not forget that one contestant and their star partner will win the Grand Prize at the end of these four weeks! Woohoo!
$500 from Homes.Com
$500 Gift Card to HomeGoods
Project featured by HomeTalk
We are so impressed with how these ladies took these famous, really pricey items and put their own spin on them to make them unique and fabulous. Let’s get this party started!
1. Anthro-inspired Wall Lamp
When I heard this week was knock-off week I knew immediately what I wanted to do. See, I’ve been seeing this lamp I wanted in the Anthropologie catalog. It makes my heart happy but…my budget doesn’t allow for it. Well, could you afford $2800.00 for a lamp? I know, right?!? Ridiculous! So, I took it upon myself to figure out how to make this lamp accessible to mere peons. Or simply those that have a budget.
2. Restoration Hardware-inspired Lighted Sign
When I think of knock off, I think copy cat (in a good way). I think of anything duplicated to the T, but is much less expensive. For this round, I chose not to duplicate, but rather I was inspired by this Restoration Hardware arrow and created something a little different. I’ll tell ya… with the basic process, you can create just about anything you can imagine. A state, a letter, a number, a symbol, a phrase. It’s totally up to you.
I love designer fabric and furniture, but the high prices make it hard to justify (especially when I change my mind frequently!) I like to get a high end look at a fraction of the price by putting a little, time, effort, and creative thinking to work!
Ever since seeing one doubling as a window seat, I have been dying to build an upholstered bench ottoman. Inspired by Anthropologie’s bench ottoman that costs $1,700, I built this ottoman for under $100. I cut costs by using an inexpensive comforter in lieu of foam, upholstry webbing as a top support, and a drapery panel for fabric. It’s perfect for extra seating or a place to rest your feet.
These three diy projects transformed this window area and cost me only $150. The time and effort was definitely worth it over paying over $3,000 for all of the originals!
5. Anthro-inspired Ikat Console
I LOVE this store. I love the colors, the design, the textures, the ambiance, and inspiration that I always find there. When I saw this gorgeous ikat hand painted console, I knew it was the perfect piece of inspiration for my CWTS Knock off. (and at $1698–it’s a great piece to knock off 😉
Using a cabinet base from IKEA and an ikat stencil from Olive Leaf Stencils, I recreated the console, choosing a similar color palette, with some color adjustments to fit my own house and decor scheme.
They say “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” Well, Anthro, you most certainly have mine. In honor of my love for this store, I styled the console using some Anthropologie treasures, in addition to some old wooden spools & candles, books and beautiful orange tulips.
It’s basically 30 plates hung together with a painted scene going across all the plates. At $7,500, that’s $250 per plate. Luckily Dollar Tree sells white plates for a buck. And, since I was pretty sure painting freehand on the plates wasn’t going to look all that great, I used a Sharpie and a projector. All you have to do is trace… easy.
So, here we are at round 2 (Did you see all of the awesome projects in round 1?). This week’s theme is Knock-Off, which I love. I’m cheap frugal, and just can’t spend the money that some of the big name websites want for their stuff. Plus, I’m sure my husband would think I’m certifiably insane if I bought a $300 vase or $100 throw pillow. But just because I’m designing on a budget doesn’t mean that I can’t have nice things, right?
I did have to get creative with the black caps that Horchow has on the ends of their ropes. My solution? PVC end caps, simply spray painted black. Some black BBQ & Stove spray paint on the metal (which is holding nicely as long as you don’t bang around the metal) and voila! Drill a hole in the PVC, hot glue the hooks and rope, and BOOM.
8. West Elm-inspired Wood Tile Dresser
It didn’t take long for me to figure out what I wanted to do for this week’s challenge. I’ve been lusting after this wood-tiled dresser from West Elm for months and months, but at a whopping $900, it just wasn’t going to happen. So, this challenge gave me the perfect excuse to try and re-create it on my own! And I think it turned out pretty awesome.
I used a picture of the original and a steady hand to paint the details onto my duvet.
But don’t worry, the look is nothing like those cheesy tee shirts you used to make! 😉
You can only vote one time, but you can vote for your favorite 3 projects.
Did you miss the Round 1 projects? You can see them all here.
WOW these projects are insane! I am in love with quite a few of them! Wonder if We can get them over to our house for some help!

*One's first encounter with the sensation of romantic love.
* The first person to be the object of a love interest.
*One's favorite object, place, or activity; one's most fundamental interest or attachment.
Some youngsters may fall in love or experience heartbreak as a result of their first love.
Whatever occurred, he would always be more than a pleasant recollection - perhaps the first love.
Love has tremendous power. It's natural to link love with feelings, yet love can also have an impact on a person's cognition.
To feel love, you must first allow yourself to be open to both giving and receiving love. This is simple for some and challenging for others.
Love necessitates exposing oneself to vulnerability, which is why the prospect of loving someone can be frightening.
A person's first true romance is usually memorable and profound.
This is due to the fact that a person's first love is usually their first exposure to the rollercoaster of emotions connected with love and passion.

“It used to be said that it was supply chain issues and one of the companies were shut down at a period of time and then we all heard it was going to be much better my march this year and it didn’t happen. So we are not quite sure what is happening," said Chair of the department of psychiatry at UF Health Jacksonville, Dr. Steven Cuffe.
Cuffe says potential season that could add to the shortage is that the FDA limits the supply of controlled medications to reduce drug abuse.
"Obviously there are ways to try to improve your organization, making list, and setting timers to remind you to do things. Those are things we try to help people with when they take their medication," said Cuffe.
Cuffe says that if are having a difficulty finding an ADHD medication to call around to several pharmacies to see if they have what you need.
He says you can also choose to take it on certain days where you know you’ll need it so your limited supply will last longer, and consider taking another ADHD medication if recommended by your doctor.

Game rules of the game "Men's Club"
Slot machine "Men's Club"
A three-reel slot machine with 1 bonus game. Each of the three reels has 100 symbols. Reels spin independently.
Once the bet is selected press the 'Spin' button to set the reels in motion. The 'PAYTABLE' is found to the right side from the reels. If the combination indicated in the 'PAYTABLE' appears, you will win the respective prize. The winning amount for a combination is multiplied by the bet. After the reels stop, all winning combinations are highlighted in the 'PAYTABLE'.
If a joker appears ("Joker" symbol), it is transformed into another symbol to complete the winning combination, but the joker ("Joker" symbol) does not transform into the symbols "Empty" and "Bonus". If there is one "Joker" symbol in the combination, the winning amount is multiplied by two, and if there are two "Joker" symbols, it is multiplied by four.
There is a screen above the reels showing the current amount of the accumulative Jackpot. Everyone playing for real money participates in the Jackpot accumulation. Deductions to the Jackpot from a 1$ bet is 1c, from a 2$ bet it is 2c, and from a 3$ it is 3c. To participate in the Jackpot drawing you should play for real money with the maximum bet amount of 3$. Once the maximum bet is selected, the 'Jackpot is active' inscription will appear on the screen indicating that you are taking part in the drawing of the accumulative Jackpot. To win the Jackpot you should receive a combination of 3 'Joker' symbols. When the game is played for virtual money, bonuses or real money (with 1$ or 2$ bet), the win for the combination of 3 'Joker' symbols is 5000 times the total bet. The minimum guaranteed Jackpot amount is 15000$.
Bonus game "Wheel of Fortune"
When two or three "Bonus" symbols appear at any place on the display, trigger the "Wheel of Fortune" bonus game. The prize amount that can be won equals to the amount appearing on the wheel multiplied by the bet. If the bonus game was initiated by 3 "Bonus" symbols, the prize amounts on the wheel will be 10 times larger than in the bonus game initiated by 2 symbols.
You can choose lines, define your bet and start an autoplay by pressing Autoplay. Before starting, set the game stop terms.
1. "STOP, WHEN WINNING >= ..."
2. "STOP, WHEN BALANCE >= ..."
3. "STOP, WHEN BALANCE <= ..."
These terms are only applicable to the basic part of the player account, not including bonuses.
To exit the game, click on the "Exit Game" button.

Last night we went to the 144th Ringling Bros Greatest Show on Earth at the Verizon Center in Washington DC. As you know from my interview with ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson, we had been counting down the days towards the big night.
It’s that time of year… the circus is back in town! We’re going tomorrow night, and I can hardly focus on anything. I did have to calm myself long enough to focus on speaking with esteemed ringmaster Johnathan Iverson. I got to interview him before our big night, and he shared some fantastic insight on what’s in store for us, and how he lives the life of a ringmaster and keeps up with the ever-changing show.
Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey are coming back to DC this weekend with their Legends show. And there’s a sweet deal with Metro, present your Metro Smart Card and get $8 off the ticket price! Details (plus save a $1 on every trip over a paper farecard, so it’s a good deal either way.)

My seven year old son and I love watching Pacific Rim. He wanted some of the NECA action figures for Christmas so he could make a stop-motion animation. So I obliged and he got Gypsy Danger (Hong Kong battle) and Knifehead.
I downloaded the Lego Movie Maker app for iPhone, and my son took off from there. The beginning portion of this animation is all his. He used the onion skin feature to make sure the figures moved appropriately came up with the whole story line, and added the dialogue and original sound effects. I took the finished product and shot the ending, added music and called it a day.
Also, my son’s favorite toys are Wicked Cool Toys’ Crashlings. So they made an appearance as well.
Monster Jam came back to the Washington Region this weekend. We had a blast watching Grave Digger, Stinger, Backwards Bob, Crushstation, Krazy Train, Spike, Megabite, and Aftershock tearing up the dirt in the Verizon Center.

Diagnosing of rolling-element bearings using amplitude level-based decomposition of machine vibration signal
AbstractIn the last few decades there has been a significant development in the use of vibration measurement and analysis for monitoring the condition of rolling-element bearings. Although a lot of vibration diagnostic techniques have been developed, in many cases these methods are quite complicated to use and are time consuming. They are even impractical in real-world applications or are only effective at later stages of damage development. One of the main reasons for the ineffectiveness of many diagnostic approaches is the fact that in complex industrial environments the vibration signal of the rolling-element bearing may be covered or concealed by other vibration sources, such as gears. As a result, the development of methods for extracting an informative bearing signal from a machine vibration signal is one of the most important topics in diagnosing rolling-element bearings operating in complex industrial environments. This paper presents the diagnostic approach enabling early detection of a rolling-element bearing fault at the low-energy stage of its development. A key element of this approach is the completely automatic method of amplitude level-based signal decomposition, which enables an extraction of an informative bearing signal from a machine vibration signal. In order to perform a bearing fault-related feature extraction from a low-energy component of a vibration signal, the spectral analysis of the empirically determined local amplitude is used. The practicability and the effectiveness of the proposed approach have been tested on simulated and real-world vibration data. Tests of the devised approach give better results than the classical method and show that this approach is appropriate and effective at identifying bearing damages at early stages of their development.

took myself out for a coffee date after work. sometimes ya just gotta do that when the other person you wanna take out to all your favorite little places for coffee is much too far away…(and doesn’t really like coffee…)
This is definitely one of the best hidden gems in South Minneapolis. Voted City Pages best coffee shop of 2010, Rustica Bakery uses roasts from the well renown Dogwood Coffee. I was hoping to try one of their single-origin espresso’s but they weren’t serving it at the time. I was still more than pleased with ordering the Dogwood Espresso. There isn’t much that can beat this espresso, at least that I have come across in Minneapolis. Not to mention, they have a full staff of talented barista’s all ready to put a heart in your next vanilla latte. The great atmosphere of Rustica makes for a definite “coffee date” spot if you’re lucky enough to treat someone to their award winning drinks and bakery items.
Okay, yes, I am starting out easy. I am familiar with Rustica, even though it is new to Calhoun Village since I have come home from school. My family rarely goes a week without stopping by Calhoun Village for something or another. In June, before heading to the Pacific Northwest for a 30 day backpacking trip, I stopped with my mom at the Barnes and Noble. Rustica happens to be one shop over from the bookstore. Of course we had to go in and buy bread, however I still had not tried the coffee. I resolved to come back as soon as possible.
One month later I am back! I pull off the Cedar Lake Trail and into the back of the Calhoun Village strip mall. I lock up my bike, turn down my music and head into the shop. I am greeted by a wonderful smell of freshly baked bread and brewing coffee. I sit down in the window seat with my espresso and the day’s newspaper. As I look around I am pleased to see that the coffee shop is pretty full (especially considering it’s a Wednesday afternoon). And deservedly so. The shop has a really nice feel to it, nothing like the commercialized Starbucks and Caribou Coffee shops that populate every corner. I have to say, Calhoun Village isn’t the most beautiful location, but once entering Rustica you sort of forget you are in the middle of a strip mall.
All in all, I am pleased with my first coffee shop find. Rustica was a great place to spend a few hours sipping great coffee.

It was a nice day for a bike ride down the South Minneapolis greenway which stretches all the way from Uptown to basically the back of Rustica Bakery and beyond. Just a little hint for those biking and not interested in taking the streets, it was pretty convenient. I walked in and saw a small featured sign on the counter promoting their Kenya “Karinga” coffee provided locally by Dogwood Coffee. You could also find this coffee at their location in Calhoun Square if you wanted to check that out. Even at the cost of $4.80 for a 12oz cup of coffee, I was excited to get a taste. They described the flavors as blackberry, cranberry, lemon zest, and melon goodness so it was pretty hard to pass up. I definitely got those bright flavors from the coffee as it started to change temperatures and cool down. It was provided by their Clover brewing method which isn’t my preferred, but I have still enjoyed a handful of cups by the Clover before. I normally pick up the most zesty and almost lemony sour tastes with my last couple of sips and the same was true in this case. Check out this little information that was provided by the Dogwood Coffee website about the farm “Karinga” where this coffee was sourced from:
“The Gitwe Farmers Coop registered in 1985 after a split from the Gatundu coop, it has 1,868 members. There are 14 permanent staff members and a board of 9 members – one from each electoral area. The coop has 2 wet mills, Karatu and Karinga and they are planning to construct a third wet mill as well. The Karinga mill was built in 1984, it is located on the eastern slopes of Aberdare Range.” -dogwoodcoffee.com

At the high of the Berlin Airlift back in 1948, U.S. and British cargo planes landed minutes apart to keep the western half of the city alive amid a Soviet blockade. Now nearly seven decades later, the former airfield in the heart of the reunited German capital could soon become home to herds of wild horses and cattle.
The quirky proposal is part of serious deliberations on how best to care for the massive 303 hectare green space.
Closed as an active airport in 2008, Tempelhof was reopened as a vast park in 2010. Amid initial skepticism, Berliners soon flocked to its wide-open places to picnic and fly kites, as well as skating and bike riding on the old tarmac.
“We are discussing using grazing animals to control the meadows at Tempelhof,” said park manager Michael Krebs, noting the environmental impact would need to be assessed before any final decision.


A potential competitor to console platforms? Razer thinks so as they release their latest gaming laptop, the Blade!
2cm depth, 2kg weight, 14-inch in size, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870m GPU, 4th generation i7 with 8GB RAM, it seems that the laptop shows its true glory in the fantastic spec on offer. The Razer Blade is considered a huge competitor with the next generation consoles out on the market already but will it compete? The true essence of amazement comes in the size we stated a little earlier, 2cm in depth, yes 2cm! Razer is claiming the Blade to be the world’s thinnest gaming laptop and the spec isn’t restricted by the super sleek size of the platform.
The all-aluminium casing on the Blade conceals some pretty impressive specs and the physical looks of the laptop look good too but in the gaming world, most of the time it isn’t looks but performance. The spec looks just over that provided by the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One so this small portable device may be a headline in the gaming market for some time! Screen quality is a large talking point too as a 3200×1800 pixel resolution on a 14-inch display is something that truly stuns regarding graphics.
As a summary, the laptop is set to be a big competitor and portable alternative to other platforms. With the ability to run games such as Titanfall in high resolutions without grinding to a halt, a truly amazing size and look, amazing specification and not too shabby price tag of $2,199 (£1,320), the Razer Blade will go on sale in the US very soon with the UK to HOPEFULLY follow as Razer have not yet specified on the UK availability. But would you buy?

AURORA | James Holmes was seeing a psychiatrist at University of Colorado before last week’s theater massacre, according to court documents.
The revelation came in a motion filed by Holmes’ defense team accusing law enforcement of leaking information about the case to the media.
Specifically, Holmes’ defense team said law enforcement improperly leaked to Fox News and NBCnews.com details about a package Holmes sent to his psychiatrist, Dr. Lynne Fenton.
Fenton is the medical director for student mental health service at CU’s Anschutz Medical Campus, where Holmes was a graduate student studying neuroscience until June. According to a biography posted on the university’s website, Fenton specialized in patients with schizophrenia.
The motion did not say how long Holmes had been seeing Fenton, but said he was a psychiatric patient of hers and that the communications in the package are protected.
Judge William B. Sylvester said in an order Friday that the matter would be discussed in court Monday, when Holmes is scheduled to appear for formal filing of charges.
Holmes is being held in the Arapahoe County Jail on suspicion of first-degree murder after last week’s shootings at the Century Aurora 16 theater left 12 dead and 58 injured.
Fox News reported Monday that the package contained a spiral notebook filled with details about the theater drawings, including stick figure drawings.
The report cited “law enforcement” sources, but prosecutors said they doubted the existence of a law enforcement source.
Prosecutors said reports that the FBI was in possession of the package were inaccurate as were reports that it was the FBI who intercepted the package. In fact, prosecutors wrote, it was Aurora police who had the package and investigators had not yet reviewed its contents.
“To put it bluntly, the People are extremely dubious of the media assertions that ‘law enforcement sources’ exist,” prosecutors wrote.

Board tasked by state budget to provide recommendations on eight issue areas
OLYMPIA – The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (Board) today issued its recommendations to the Legislature regarding the regulation of medical marijuana. A proviso of the state operating budget directed the Liquor and Cannabis Board to work with the departments of Revenue and Health to develop recommendations regarding the interaction of medical marijuana regulations and the emerging recreational marijuana system.
Staff from the three agencies prepared draft recommendations for the Board in eight categories that included possession amounts, medical marijuana authorizing requirements, taxation and other topics. Staff provided its draft recommendations to the Board on October 21, 2013. The Board reviewed written public input as well as held a special public meeting on Nov. 13, 2013.
The Board accepted many of the staff recommendations with one major exception regarding the recommended prohibition on home growing of medical marijuana. The Board is recommending allowing authorized medical marijuana patients up to six plants for personal use.
The Liquor and Cannabis Board made the following statement regarding its recommendations.
We wish to thank the staff from the Liquor and Cannabis Board, the Department of Revenue and the Department of Health for their thorough work on this issue. This is a challenging issue considering the emotional and political concerns that surround the medical use of marijuana.
The Liquor and Cannabis Board has largely accepted staff’s recommendations with one major exception. We are recommending that authorized medical marijuana patients be allowed to grow up to six plants for personal use. This decision is based on multiple conversations with the medical community, medical marijuana dispensary owners, medical professionals and others. Opinions are diverse. Ultimately, if a medical professional believes an authorized patient may benefit from the medical use of marijuana, we recommend that that individual may grow a limited number of plants at home for personal use.
These recommendations fulfill the requirement in the budget proviso found in Section 141 that requires the Liquor and Cannabis Board to make recommendations regarding the interaction of medical marijuana regulations and the emerging recreational marijuana system by January 1, 2014. The process now moves to the Legislature for consideration during the 2014 legislative session.
