The true origin of the mysterious blue aliens has been confirmed by the executive producers of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Fans have been speculating on the origin of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s oddest inclusion — a dead blue alien — ever since the preserved humanoid was first unveiled in the show’s first season. (Well… half of it, anyway.)
Now, with the midseason finale rapidly approaching, the creative team have come out to confirm what many fans have long suspected: The creature is a Kree.
According to showrunners Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon, the alien’s origin will be
Kreevealed revealed in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 2, episode 9. The bearer of this bizarre news will be Raina, the “girl in the flower dress” — something of a mysterKree mystery herself.
Tancharoen points out that Raina has “been told these stories of evolution and destiny,” something
Kreequently frequently alluded to by the series. “It’s very much part of her lifelong quest to achieve this goal of hers,” Tancharoen says. “The Kree are a part of the stories she’s heard her whole life.”
Ruth Negga, who plays Raina, adds that her character’s dreams of evolution extend to the whole world.
“These stories that her grandmother has told her promise the arrival of something,” she says. “A change that’s coming that’s been promised for however many years, passed down from generation to generation. The return of something that was once here that will come again and bring about something better, more progressive. I think that’s what the Kree represent for Raina.”
Speaking to TV Guide, Chloe Bennett
Kreeased teased Skye’s potential connections to Raina and the alien race.
“You’ll find out that Skye and Raina have something in common — and it’s not that they’re brunettes,” Bennet says. “Some of our überfans think the two of them are aliens. Or maybe they’re something else — something different and special. It’s all leading to a reveal that’s mother-effing crazy.”
Thanks, Chloe – we’re already struggling to
Kreel reel in our expectations!


Meanwhile, Jed Whedon also touched on how the Kree — seen in their living incarnation in Guardians of the Galaxy — may continue to link Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. into the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“One of the privileges of this gig is getting a peek behind the curtain at some of the stuff that’s coming up and getting to read scripts early,” he says. “We’re well aware of what the films are planning far ahead, and whenever we can we want to weave in and out of those stories.”
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 2, episode 9, “Ye Who Enter Here,” will air on Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 9:00 p.m. on ABC.

The glitz! The glamour! The sleepless nights! We get asked the question, "How do I get into burlesque?" so often that we're dedicating a page to some helpful tips and best practices for getting involved in the scene. The Jigglewatts Burlesque Revue is not holding regular auditions at this time, but there are some other great ways to get your foot in the curtain!
1. Attend as many burlesque shows as you can. It is the best way to get to know the other performers and troupes in town, their styles, and how you might best connect with the community.
2. Take a burlesque class. There is an array of classes and workshops offered in town, with emphasis on different styles of performance from classic burlesque movement to the more modern, jazz styles. The Austin Academy of Burlesque offers solid, classic burlesque technique as well as specialty workshops.
3. Offer to volunteer as a "Stage Kitten" at a burlesque show. A Stage Kitten (or Stage Bunny, as The Jigglewatts call them) is asked to dress in cute retro or themed attire and gracefully pick up the garments left on stage by the performers after each act. Being a Stage Kitten requires a good deal of stage presence, attention to detail, team spirit, and is a wonderful way to see first-hand how a burlesque show comes together and what all is involved in production. For Jigglewatts' Stage Bunny opportunities, please contact Coco.Lectric@gmail.com.
4. Invest in "The Burlesque Handbook" by Jo Weldon. A living neo-burlesque legend, Jo Weldon is founder and headmistress of the New York School of Burlesque, and has packed this little book with wonderful information for brand new performers and seasoned veterans alike.
5. Do your homework. The burlesque community is expanding every day, with much higher visibility in the regional, national, and global scenes. It's becoming a very small world! We highly recommend becoming familiar with "who's who" in the national circuit, discovering the awesomeness that is the Burlesque Hall of Fame, and doing as much research as you can on the history of burlesque and its legendary stars.
Yours in love and glitter,
The Jigglewatts Burlesque Revue


Another morning in the garden and as I was tending and doing more summer clean out, I realized that some of my raised beds were compacted and hard to dig into!!
It is always so light and fluffy; so I decided to hand dig 12 inches down and pull out all old root and plants, next I got out my seed packets of Turnips and Beets. In no till farming much success is being made by using tap root plants as the growing helper.
So I heavily planted. The next bed I planted beets. That done I got busy with re-planting some mustard and collards. The use of taproot plants serves two results. Bulking up the garden soil and also breaking up compacted clay with the plant that dives into the soil to make the bulb. Excellent. Improving the sub soil structure is what I am really after. You can always add to the top but if that hard pan is blocking nutrient and water penetration this makes if difficult for a good root system to develop for all the next plants I will put in.
So Turnips it is!!
It’s a good thing to have nature assist the gardener. I will also plant Crimson Cover and Hairy Vetch as my nitrogen fixing cover crops. Both of these are also tap root breakers and plus are lovely to look at. A plus for me, I like something pretty to look at. And both have great flowers, which attract the bees.
Win, Win again!
Remember this is not an overnight fix, improving soil is a longterm continuous process so don’t give up. As Autumn is here, the garden is still busy and the learning is always happening, as I tell myself daily, “It is an experience!” I hope the turnips grow big and bust the clay and also we will have some good eating greens to enjoy,

I really do know I am due a recap of how life has been going lately!
Just last week Great Grandpa Lowmaster ( to Melody) visited all the way from Pennsylvania! I can relate a bit about living there because I did when I was 8-10 years old. Right now the foliage would be at it’s peak Fall colors… it was absolute gorgeousness. Here you don’t get the fall colors so much because there’s so many Evergreens. So, being busy we tried to spend as much time with GG Lowmaster as we could before he had to fly back home. One of the fun things we did was going up to Tillamook, Oregon and touring the cheese factory together. It was quite fascinating. Another thing we did was spending time with GGrandma Francis Quimby on her 85th birthday. These are family memories to cherish and hold forever.
Now Justin, Melody, and I went to the Pioneer Museum in Tillamook as well as a visit to Oregon’s Shortest Lighthouse ! It was raining so I had Melody in Bjorn wrapped up in my coat… hehe… On Sunday we visited Fir Point Farms and bought 70lbs of plump pumpkins! We arent’ going to carve all of them but I am hoping to cook something with them.
Tuesday was a tough day for me because Melody got her four month shots. She was so sad after wards but soon cheered up later in the evening.
I’ve been busy working on my own Christmas designs for my shop and also started work on a design for my clients.
We’ve got some grocery shopping to do in a bit so I’ll cut this short for now.

* Canada dollar rebounds from lowest level since Sept 2004
* Citigroup memo spurs stock markets, whets risk appetite
* Bonds lower as stocks gain
* Finance minister says jobs data unlikely to be good (Updates to close)
By Ka Yan Ng
TORONTO, March 10 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar rose against the U.S. dollar on Tuesday as the market’s appetite for risk was whetted by a big gain on stock markets spurred by a Citigroup memo that built confidence in bank shares.
Early support for the currency also came from stronger oil prices, which spiked to above $48 a barrel before turning lower to close under $46.
As the price of oil receded, so did some of the Canadian dollar’s advance against the greenback. The Canadian dollar hit a midmorning high of C$1.2725 to the U.S. dollar, or 78.59 U.S. cents, before paring gains. But it still finished well above Monday’s close.
The Canadian currency ended at C$1.2852 to the U.S. dollar, or 77.81 U.S. cents, up from C$1.2991 to the U.S. dollar, or 76.98 U.S. cents, at Monday’s close.
The rise came after the Canadian dollar fell on Monday to its lowest level versus the U.S. dollar since September 2004 as economic gloom prompted investors to sell riskier assets.
“A few factors just lined up in a positive fashion, but none of them really lasted that long through the day except for the equity market story,” said David Watt, senior currency strategist at RBC Capital Markets.
Global banking fears were assuaged by news on Tuesday that the chief executive of financial giant Citigroup told employees in a memo that the bank was profitable in the first two months of 2009 and that he was “confident” about its capital strength after tough internal stress tests. [ID:nN10541492]
The memo was enough to lift sentiment across global stocks, including the Toronto Stock Exchange, and helped the Canadian dollar rise towards a one-week high.
The Canadian dollar has been tracking the movements on the Toronto stock market recently, partly as a reflection of risk appetite and partly due to the tight links to commodity prices, especially oil, a key Canadian export, that they have in common.


Canadian bond prices were lower across the curve as world stocks rose after three straight days of declines and ahead of this week’s flood of new supply.
Some $63 billion in U.S. government notes and bonds is due to be absorbed this week and Canadian bonds were being dragged down “kicking and screaming” alongside U.S. Treasuries, said Eric Lascelles, chief economics and rates strategist at TD Securities.
“Canadian bonds continue to outperform the U.S. but they are selling off on an absolute basis and I think you do need to probably pin supply to that,” he said.
“Of course, it’s not just supply. It’s an absence of compelling economic data.”
As market players get over the supply hurdle, they will also face Canadian jobs data on Friday. “These numbers are not likely to be good,” Finance Minister Jim Flaherty told the Canadian Senate’s finance committee on Tuesday. [ID:nN10512441]
A Reuters survey found analysts expect the economy to have shed 52,500 jobs in February after a drop of 129,000 jobs in January.
Canadian trade data for January, also on Friday, could be as headline-grabbing as the jobs figures because of forecasts for a big deficit.
The two-year bond slipped 6 Canadian cents to C$103.00 to yield 0.990 percent. The 10-year bond lost 53 Canadian cents to C$106.62 to yield 2.992 percent.
The 30-year bond dropped C$1.35 to C$122.60 to yield 3.719 percent. The U.S. 30-year bond yielded 3.720 percent. (Reporting by Ka Yan Ng; Editing by Peter Galloway)


Having to visit a doctor with a loved one who is suffering is one thing but when you are the patient, it quite another. A doctor’s meeting can cause anxiety but did you know? Anxiety affects your brain and your cognitive function. If you feel anxious during a doctor’s meeting, it can affect your memory making it hard for you to remember the specifics of your doctor’s instructions. Even if you remembered what was discussed, studies have shown that it may only be 50 percent of the right information. See? This is why you need to know these tips to remember your doctor’s instructions!
Speaking to another adult about your intimate and personal issue can be a little intimidating. Yes, doctors can also overwhelm you and just to be their presence creates anxiety for some people. Here’s information you need to prepare yourself with before you meet with your doctor.
- Note down all the symptoms you’re having.
- If you record your progress or health failing in a journal, bring that.
- Talk about any situation or person or life change that may cause you stress.
- Note down all the medicines you may be already taking or bring them along.
- Are you allergic to anything or ay particular medicine? Remember and take notes.
- If you’re already on a multivitamin or if you need supplements for any reason and note that down too to share it with your doctor too.
- Remember to bring all your medical records, previous tests or x-rays? Yes, bring them.
Even better, in today’s age of smartphones, maintain your medical history on your phone so that you don’t have to carry many files and other such details in physical copies along with you.
Sometimes, we don’t like to admit that you didn’t understand something. However, it’s very important to remember your doctor’s instructions. So at the appointment, be sure to ask many questions. Along with all the things you already prepare yourself for in the first point, note down questions as well. Ask these questions one by one at the appointment. If you didn’t understand an instruction, stop the conversation and get clarify right there. If the doctor wasn’t available, check with a nurse or another physician in the vicinity and clear all your doubts before you leave the premises.
Take notes instead of audio recording
Yes, in this fast-paced world, who has the time to write on a notepad anymore? Who does that, right?


Well, although you will have to ask permission for voice or video recording, not all doctors are happy about reducing the meeting in any form. For the simple reason that digital recording can be misused. So doctors don’t like to be recording for the fear of using that as evidence for malpractice etc. you don’t want to change your doctor’s mood for any reason, that may affect the meeting. So being safe, take notes instead. Writing using a pen and paper helps you remember better anyway.
Use your smartphone
You also have the notes application on your smartphones. Use that to take notes during your examination. Make sure you write every instruction your doctor gives you down.
Bring a loved one
Whether it is your friend or a family member, your loved one will remind you of things you may forget to bring up the drug in the appointment. Your intention by preparing yourself beforehand and bringing your medical records is all done with good intentions. However, when you find yourself seated at the examination table, you may be too nervous or feel the anxiety to ask your questions. Let your loved one be your rock and your guide. Besides, while you may be on the table, your loved one can take the notes for you!
Organize yourself & follow up
You can organize yourself to remember to take your prescribed medication. Here are a few ideas:
- Set a reminder on your phone to take medication.
- Stick the prescription paper on your fridge or anywhere within reach.
- Follow up with your doctor/physician/nurse if you need more help or information.
So if you get home and you find that your symptoms have changed or worsened, you may have to follow up, anyway. Update your health records and share the details with your doctor when you visit for a follow-up.


BIG FINDS: Admit it. If you like a good yard sale, and you've heard about the epic 127 Sale -- the so-called "World's Longest Yard Sale," which stretches from Michigan to Alabama over a single weekend every summer -- you've probably been a mite jealous. A mite. Because we have plenty of solid sales out here, but nothing quite so... lengthy. Well, take heart bargain buffs. The city of Morro Bay throws an annual springtime city-wide yard sale, and it just happens to be straight ahead, on Saturday, April 2 and Sunday, April 3.
THE DEAL: Of course, the City-Wide Sale isn't the 127. Not nearly. This is taking place in pretty and pert Morro Bay, so expect yard sales to be in the dozens, not hundreds or thousands. The Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce has confirmed that 125 people have signed up to be on the yard sale map, but others tend to jump in at the last minute, too, with their own sales, so that number can and probably will inch upward. Also note that the sales will be a mix of business and home-based. But if you're a yard sale fanatic, the idea of even 100 sales tempts. Plus, a weekend in Morro Bay is tempting, regardless of the draw.


I believe I first heard this on a Radiolab episode, but I can’t remember for sure. Since hearing it, I’ve reflected on it many times and can’t help but think there’s some truth in it. For me it’s kind of why we’re just not that good at processing the scenery whizzing by from a car or train, and why cycling and walking are just about the best ways of getting around. Alain de Boton, in The Art of Travel, has some great observations about why trains are so great for thinking which I think has a lot to do with this - we have time to think, with a helpful intermission of the semi-connected landscape and houses passing by that we can only process for so long before we turn back to our thoughts. I love trains.

With Nigel Wickens and Susan at The Barn Restaurant at Upper Stowe
On Dec 18th, I spoke at a very convivial Christmas Dinner organised by the Daventry and South Northants UKIP Branch. After some festive pleasantries, I discussed some of the issues that will arise during the Brexit debate (indeed a few moments ago I was listening to the BBC’s Any Questions over lunch, and a number of these issues did indeed arise). One of the guests asked if I could let them have some notes of the points I made, so here goes.
First, Cameron’s “renegotiation”. While UKIP wants nothing less than independence, many Conservative Backbenchers and activists might be satisfied with a few real and substantive EU reforms, of the type that Cameron was hinting at a year ago. Reinstatement of John Major’s Maastricht opt-outs, which Tony Blair gave away — especially in so far as they cover employment and the Social Chapter. Control of our borders. A reassertion of parliamentary sovereignty in Westminster. And, we mighty add, control of energy and environment policy, and agriculture and fisheries. And especially the right to make our own trade deals with third countries where the EU fails to do so.
In the end, Cameron asked for none of these things. He’s reduced the whole debate to the relatively narrow and trivial issue of in-work benefits for EU migrants. (If we could control our borders, we wouldn’t need to fiddle about with differential welfare benefits). Cameron has so far been successful in focussing on this detail and avoiding the real issues. But he’s also succeeded in demonstrating to the British people that we simply can’t get our own way in the EU. He has asked for precious little, and he will get even less.
Then, jobs. We are tired of hearing the claim that “3½ million jobs depend on EU membership”. This is based on a report from the NIESR in 2000 which was immediately picked up and spun by EU apologists. The Director of NIESR immediately came out to condemn the spin, and to point out that the jobs depend on the trade, not the EU membership, and added that “there was no a prioi reason while all or any of that trade would be lost”.
Of course not.


For a start, if Britain were simply an arms-length third country, and we paid the Common External Tariff on goods exported to the continental EU, the total annual duty would be around £3.5 billion a year — around a third of our net budget contributions.
But of course we will not be treated as an arms-length third country. We will have a free trade deal with the EU (as, say, Korea andChile have), and the trade (and the jobs) will continue as before. Digby Jones, former Director of the CBI, has said “If we leave the EU, we will have a Free Trade Deal within 24 hours”. Why? Because we import much more from continental Europe than we export to them. We are in fact their largest overseas customer, bar none. They need the deal more than we do. Those auto executives from Mercedes and Audi and BMW will be knocking on the door of the Commission demanding a UK FTA ASAP, so that they can continue to sell their cars in the UK.
Just for the record, if there really are 3½ million UK jobs depending on UK/EU trade, then there are five or six million continental jobs depending on trade with the UK. Go figure.
Trade deals. We are told we need the “clout” of the EU’s 28 countries and 500-million-consumer market to enable us to do trade deals. Indeed I was told by economist Vicky Pryce (the ex-wife of the notorious Chris Huhne) that Britain alone would be “far too small” to do a trade deal with the USA. I had to remind her that the USA already has bilateral trade deals with around twenty third-countries, andevery one of those countries has a smaller economy than the UK. Every one. Ms. Pryce was talking nonsense, and should have known better.
One of those smaller countries is Singapore (with GDP around one ninth of the UK). Years ago, I went with the then Ambassador of Singapore in Brussels to see the then EU Trade Commissioner, Pascal Lamy, to urge him to do a free trade deal with Singapore. He made it clear that he thought an EU FTA was not (as it should be) about mutual benefit for the parties. It was, rather, a lever or bargaining tool to put pressure on ASEAN (including Singapore) to integrate on the EU model.


So today, Singapore has a deal with theUS but not the EU, giving the US a competitive advantage over the EU in Singapore in particular, and to an extent across South East Asia.
And for the record, little Switzerland and tiny Iceland both have FTAs with China. We don’t, and nor does the EU.
Negotiating clout. “OK”, say the pro-EU politicians, “you may be able to negotiate a deal of some sort, but as a smaller entity you can’t possibly get such a good deal”. This is exactly the reverse of the truth. Before EU negotiators can even sit down with (say) USnegotiators, they first have to go through all the horse-trading between 28 EU member-states with different interests and different objectives. UK interests are massively diluted before the US negotiations can even start. As a top-ten economy we would do much better by speaking with a unified voice and representing ourselves and our interests directly at the negotiating table.
Status Quo. One of the biggest arguments our opponents will use is fear. “We’ve been in the EU for forty-some years”, they’ll say. “We know where we are. Outside we’ll be in unknown territory. The risks are enormous”. Good heavens — fancy being at risk of doing as well as countries like Switzerland or Norway or Canada or Korea. Many countries smaller than us can cope with independence successfully, and we can too. But the key response to this argument is that the EU doesn’t represent any kind of status quo. No. Right there in the Treaty of Rome we have the pledge to “Ever Closer Union”, and that will continue whatever form of words Cameron comes back with. The choice is between self-confident, democratic independence, or an unstoppable journey to an ill-defined but federal/integrated super-state. Safety lies in taking back control of our own affairs — not in leaving them with the Brusselsnomenklatura.

49ers outside linebacker Eli Harold joined Colin Kaepernick’s protest ahead of Sunday’s game against the Seahawks.
Harold, who had strong words in response to criticism of Kaepernick’s protest after the team’s Week 1 win over the Rams, held his right fist up during the anthem during the last two games before kneeling Sunday.
After that 28-0 win over the Rams, Harold said about the protest: “It’s not about football. We use this as a platform to take ourselves to the next level and help communities and do whatever we want to do. Football does not last forever. But equality is equality.”

Children at risk of developing asthma saw a reduction or elimination of their symptoms when treated early with ALK’s Grazax asthma drug, according to results from a five-year clinical trial published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
The study of more than 800 children between the ages of 5 and 12 also recommends asthma diagnoses among children should be based on several tests over a period of time, a release from Danishdrug maker ALK said.
The company undertook the study beginning in 2009, expecting to discover the impact of grass-allergy drug Grazax (Grastek in North America) on asthma diagnoses. What they found was that early treatment with the medication seemed to thwart development of the disease, even after it was discontinued.
“The landmark GAP trial (uncovered) valuable data about allergic asthma and the potential for preventing it with a new class of clinically proven allergy immunotherapy products such as Grazax,” Erkka Valovirta, an adjunct professor of clinical and pediatric allergology at Finland's University of Turku, said in the release. “These data illustrates the importance of early intervention with the right treatment for children who are at risk of developing this serious condition."
Authorized to treat asthma in Europe since 2006, Grazax is an immunotherapy medication authorized in more than two dozen countries. In Europe and Australia, it is sold as the only such drug with a “disease modifying effect,” the release said.

In this post I shall discuss a well described and not so uncommon cause of bothersome headaches–“low cerebrospinal fluid pressure headaches”. So what is low CSF pressure headache? To understand this better one needs to have a rudimentary knowledge of the anatomy of the central nervous system. The human brain is enclosed in a rigid bony skull which protects it from injury. The brain is composed of grey and white matter. The other contents of the skull include blood (carried in the arteries, veins and sinuses of the brain) and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The CSF circulates around the brain and the spinal cord. So headache can occur whenever the pressure in the brain increases. Like for example the blood pressure shoots up–one complains of headache. If one suffers a bleed (hemorrhage) in the brain–patient may complain of headache. If the blood vessels of the brain go into spasm–one has headache. All this is easy to understand.
A not so uncommon cause of headache is when the pressure inside the skull suddenly drops. Think of the brain as a ball floating in a bucket of CSF. The ball (brain) feels nice and happy when it is bobbing up and down in a full bucket of CSF. Now someone drills a small hole at the bottom of the bucket so that the CSF slowly starts leaking out. As the amount of CSF in the bucket decreases and CSF pressure falls the brain is no longer bobbing. It sinks down as the CSF decreases and this puts pressure on the nerves which are at the base of the skull. So what happens next? Well the brain complains of a headache. This in a simple way is what is called low CSF pressure headache.
Low CSF pressure headache has some defining characteristics. The headache is positional–meaning it is worse when the person is standing or sitting upright and abates when he lies down. Unlike migraines patients do not complain of throbbing unilateral headache accompanied by sensitivity to bright lights and loud sounds. Low CSF pressure headache is usually holocranial (whole head), dull, aching and like I said earlier positional. The positional component to the headache is its defining characteristic.
There can be many causes that lead to low CSF pressure headache. A common iatrogenic cause is a spinal tap (also called lumbar puncture).


Let me give you a classical example. Let us assume you suffer from migraines (though you may not be aware of it since it was never formally diagnosed by a doctor). One day you suffer a particularly severe and disabling headache episode (in the past you only had “minor” headaches). You end up going to the ER where the doctor orders a lumbar puncture to be carried out. Now you may ask why did the ER physician order a spinal tap in the first place. What was he looking for? Well the two most common conditions the ER physician wants to rule out is infection (meningitis) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (please see my post–thunderclap headache). So the lumbar puncture (spinal tap) is carried out by inserting the spinal tap needle into the lower part of the back. The needle pierces the dura and CSF starts flowing out. The sample is collected and sent to the lab. Soon enough the results are available and the ER physician comes back to update you. Good news the spinal fluid was clean. You do not have infection nor do you have subarachnoid hemorrhage. You just have a bad migraine attack. You are given pain medications for your headache and sent home.
You are relieved that it is nothing too serious. Next day however when you wake up you are bothered by a holocranial headache. Over the course of the next few days you realize that when you lie down the headache becomes better. It is worse when you are standing or sitting. After suffering through this for a few days two things may happen. The low CSF pressure headache may abate on its own and you are back to your good health or the low CSF pressure headache may persist and prompt a visit to your local neurologist.
The diagnosis is usually straight forward in someone who has the classical history which I have documented above. There are other less common causes of low CSF headache but I shall not dwell into that now. No special investigations are needed. The neurologist advice is rest and drink plenty of fluids (water, caffeine, juices and so forth). I at times advice my patients to sleep on their tummy for a few nights. The rationale of this advice–the CSF is leaking out of the small hole in the dura made by the spinal needle.


The hole shall close on its own in a few days time. The CSF lost shall be replenished and the headache shall abate. Most of the times this advice works well. At times we prescribe the patient a pain killer containing Tylenol (acetaminophen) and caffeine.
In a few patients inspite of the above conservative treatment the headache persists. In these select patients a blood patch is extremely helpful. What is an epidural blood patch you may ask? Well we take about 10 cc of the patient’s own blood and inject into the epidural space (usually near the site where the original lumbar puncture was carried out). The blood clots and seals off the small opening in the dura. No more CSF leak and no more headache.
That is all about low CSF pressure headache for now folks. Now I too must lie down and enjoy my vacation in India. Miss my parents so it is always nice to be back home.

Interactive wall enlivens a casino
The designers of the Sonic Wall, a public art installation on the exterior of the Parx Casino in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA, had a unique vision: to illustrate a sound wave through a large mural illuminated in color-changing lights and accentuated with ribbons of fiberglass.
Sonic Wall began as a partnership among the casino's ownership, architects, lighting designers, and public artists. This public art forum fused lighting, sculpture, color, and music to create a truly exceptional piece.
Artist Caryl Christian Levy, of John Levy Lighting Productions Inc., wanted to create a public art piece that could be as flexible as it is eye-catching. The objective of the design was to have the light "dance" along the wall, animating the sculpted mural with color. Designers also needed the freedom to create any number of looks, including colored mosaics, special effects, color mixes, and solid colors.
Lighting designers John Levy and Jon Langrell erected a full-size rendering of the installation in Los Angeles to gain client approval. Levy and Langrell spent much of their time considering the various views of the art piece, ensuring that it could be enjoyed both at a distance and close up.
An LED lighting solution proved to be the best option for this project because of its ability to program many shows in a wide variety of colors. The use of LED lights also minimized energy costs, without sacrificing variation or color intensity.
The bas-relief piece of art is composed on four fiberglass panels mounted behind a continuous fiberglass front. A mixture of Color Kinetics ColorBlaze 48 and ColorBlaze 72 LED luminaires were installed in rows parallel to the fiberglass ribbons to create waves of color on the façade. These effects can be used on a single wall, or they can sweep the entire façade, encompassing the building in a dynamic light show. The shows are interpretations of the Levy's original music titled, "Sonic Suites," a series of six movements with both traditional and contemporary tempos. The light shows are meant to mirror these movements and dance along the façade of the building.
Designers configured the ColorBlaze 48 and ColorBlaze 72 luminaires to have individually programmable nodes every six inches to achieve a high degree of control and resolution. Using Pharos and other third-party controls, the designers created a sophisticated control solution spanning four DMX universes.


Together, the ColorBlaze luminaires and control system support the ability to display intricate effects and complex color-changing light shows.
"Color Kinetics is a great partner because they are very proactive and hands-on," said Jon Langrell of JLLP. "This unique project required different samples, mock-ups, and even experimentation with different materials and form factors. Color Kinetics works with us closely to support us from concept to completion."
The wall has been a spectacle at the Parx Casino since installation was completed in 2009. Designers and clients alike are pleased with the end result. "The sheer monumentality and scale of Sonic Wall as well as the very unusual quality of being a permanent exterior installation as a performative public artwork has far exceeded the client's expectations," said John Levy.

Bernhard Kohl today became the latest rider from this year's Tour de France to test positive for drugs, with the French newspaper L'Equipe reporting that the King of the Mountains and third-placed finisher has failed a test for Cera, a form of the banned blood booster EPO.
The Austrian was one of the revelations of this year's race, climbing to third overall behind Carlos Sastre and Cadel Evans, and proving one of the main challengers in the mountains, particularly during the tough final week in the Alps.
Kohl becomes the latest victim of the French anti-doping agency's (AFLD) programme of retrospective testing of frozen blood samples, after it was confirmed last week that three other riders – Stefan Schumacher, Leonardo Piepoli and Riccardo Ricco – had also failed the tests.
All four have tested positive for Cera, the so-called "third generation EPO", manufactured by Swiss pharmaceuticals company Roche, who revealed last week that they have collaborated with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to help them develop a test against a product that only became commercially available last year. The new blood and urine tests – which, during the Tour, snared Ricco, Manuel Beltran and Moises Duenas – have been developed during a four-year collaboration between Roche and Wada.
Kohl is a team-mate of Schumacher's, with both members of the German Gerolsteiner team, which is set to disband at the end of the year having failed to find a replacement sponsor for the mineral water company. Kohl was also a room-mate of the German's for the duration of the Tour, and refused to comment last week when asked about Schumacher's positive.
"I had a phone call from Bernhard Kohl and he admitted he was notified with the news of a positive test. The substance is the EPO Cera," his Gerolsteiner team manager Hans-Michael Holczer told Reuters. Holczer was unavailable for further comment this evening.
The AFLD's testing of blood samples from the Tour has prompted the International Olympic Committee to announce that they too will test almost 1,000 samples from the Beijing Olympics, using the new Cera test to try and detect cheats.

Tickets are $7 and available at the door. (Photo contributed)
LAMOILLE – It was a dark and stormy night with impassible roads and impossible phones. There is thunder and lightning, gun shots and kidnapping, thievery and murder all rolled into one unbelievable evening.
Detective Nick Dashell talks his unenthusiastic wife, the nurse, into dressing as a zombie and heading for a nerdy costume party. On their way, the car breaks down, and of course, there is no cell service available. They make their way through the storm, on foot, to the nearest creepy mansion. Once inside they encounter some real characters. There is a stock matron, a smarmy English Captain, a Southern Belle, a Victorian Vampire, a zombie nurse and of course, a very sarcastic butler. All at once they have the makings of a wacky night of mischief and mayhem, cliché and comedy.
LaMoille Drama Club presents “A Murder has been Renounced,” a spoof on the traditional Agatha Christie mysteries.
The cast includes: Karli Forbes as Mrs. Ludos, Mariah Quest as Miss Mendacio, Thomas Molln as Alfred, Tyler Perry as Captain Trucage, Caleb Sarff as Nick Dashell, Katie Anderson as Darla Dashell, and a guest appearance by Jacqui Whitmore as Ms. Heinspiele. The show is directed by Linda Whitmore.
“A Murder has been Renounced,” will take the stage on Friday, April 13 and Saturday, April 14 at 7 p.m. in the LaMoille High School Gym. Tickets are $7 and available at the door.
Join the cast for this hilarious evening. Come for the laughs, stay for the pun.

Museums and Memorials
Oradour sur Glane
Oradour sur Glane, the 1944 massacre: On 10 June 1944, the village of Oradour-sur-Glane in the Haute-Vienne then Nazi occupied France, was destroyed; 642 of its inhabitants, including women and children, were massacred by a Nazi Waffen-SS company. A new village was built nearby after the war, but French president Charles de Gaulle ordered the original to be maintained as a permanent memorial and museum.
Memorial de la Resistance: Chasseneuil sur Bonnieure
An imposing monument on the hill, adjacent to the forest where the resistance group was based. The graves represent volunteers from near and far that fought to protect our freedom. There is a small information kiosk at the foot of the hill with information about the area.
Cassinomagus Thermal Baths / Archeological Park
Vast archeological park to be discovered, thermal baths, guided tours, gardens, refreshments, a small museum and gift shop. For the children, as well as the museum itself, there are activities and costumes to dress up in. Extensive work has taken place here recently, it is well worth a visit.
Comic book museum, Angouleme
“Le Musee de la Bande Dessinée” or simply “BD” is a very serious thing in Angouleme, comic books and their authors are highly respected and there is even an annual 3 day festival dedicated to just comic books and comic strips. This museum is mainly for dedicated fans, but well worth a visit if you have children who are into comic books or wish to study art.
Museum of Angouleme
A lovely old building set out over 4 floors with exhibits ranging from prehistoric history to modern art paintings and sculptures. Recently refurbished, it is a perfect size, a bit of everything, well laid out and described (English audio available) ~ not too big that any youngsters have time to get bored. Well worth a visit.
Museum of the Resistance
Located in the former convent of the Sisters-of-Providence, Limoges; it is a permanent exhibition from the declaration or war right up to liberation (1939-45).


For those keen on history it is very interesting, please note that the museum is mainly reading (in French), so the audio guide is strongly recommended; and as such, it is probably unsuitable for young children.
Espace Météorite Paul Pellas
The place to discover the story of the ‘Big meteorite of Rochechouart’, with explanation panels, pictures, artist representations of the scene, interactive models, collection of meteorites and videos. With a surface area of more than 100m2, it fell over 200 million years ago; the museum explains the effects when they collide with the earth – this area is known as the ‘Astroblem of Rochechouart Chassenon’. The crater has long since disappeared, all that remains today is the glazed stone that much of the local architecture is built from.


The Silent Ballet Review
Sometimes, one can’t help but wonder about music's “what ifs”. The mind can conjure infinite possibilities: technology can be used or abused to breed something totally new, or new ideas can be grafted to the backs of the old. Similar thoughts wandered through my brain as I listened to French guitarist Guillaume Gargaud’s Lost Chords. I wondered, is this what a Tim Hecker/Christian Fennesz collaboration would sound like?
The first track tells all, as manipulated guitar chords are buried beneath a humongous layer of noise and feedback. The song captivates from its very first moment. The sound is so thick, the layers so wonderfully placed, that it instantly reminds one of Hecker's An Imaginary Country. “Sortir” then lands somewhere between Fennesz’ Endless Summer and Black Sea. For the first time on the album, a guitar noise is clearly apparent. We can hear it being played, or at least played, processed, cut up, stretched, filtered, transposed and crashed neck-first into a seabed of fellow guitar lines. The effect is enthralling; with the proper imagination, the song can give birth to an abundance of visualizations, daydreams and emotions.
But I’m being a bit unfair here. Limiting Gargaud’s music to the summation of two other musicians would be taking a lot from the man himself. Gargaud's music possesses a personal stamp, and the effort and detail he devotes to every track should earn him a place among experimental music’s elite. In fact, the album's production is one of its key features. One can sense certain sounds rising and crawling from a distance while others step back; some move right and dominate for a while, only to fall back into equilibrium and become balanced by sounds that appear on the left. These little things differentiate a great album from a very good one.
“Longue Route” and “Cesser” provide relief by offering contemplative room. In these tracks, one can occasionally recognize the notes being played, which allows the ears a break from the noise and glitches. The outer hums remain present, but in a more restrained sense, adding flavor and extending the array of moods. Album closer, “Rêver”, echoes the album's beginning. The trip is over, and the lost chords remain lost within an the layered sounds and effects.


Some albums stir up forums, cause waves of anticipation and ultimately disappoint. Others remain known to a lucky few. Lost Chords is one of the latter kind, and will definitely turn many heads if it receives its due attention. If the Hecker/Fennesz collaboration never happens, Lost Chords will remain the best approximation, and perhaps just a little bit more.
Here Gargaud acheives visceral noise with an Americana twist; contorted guitar twangs, dust bowl acoustic guitar plucks that might accompany a low budget indie film of travelling over the Mexican desert, rocky horizons in the distance. Similar to James Ferraro's, hazy Old English Spelling Bee release early last year - 'Last American Hero', but harsher in sound and significantly less restrained. These are a rough set of textures, worn sheets of chords, and at the same time beautiful medody.
Opening track Oeil Humide (the watery eye), and indeed the majority of the album flies between walls of noise, and other unheard-of noises from Gargaud's guitar. The density of the sound is almost overwhelming, thick and heavy. Seemingly erratic attacks at the guitar strings, somehow keep a coherency. Tracks 'Sortir' and 'Passerelle' fizz with pure electric energy, heavily treated through effects. Gargaud doesn't neglect any part of the guitar's range, from ground rumbling bass, to glowing single treble notes. Penultimate track 'Cesser' provides a respite for the listener, before ending on 'Rever de courier'; like being caught in a plane slipstream, the sun in our eyes.
Lost Chords is a glisteningly fierce piece, exciting and unpredictable. The thought that Gargaud may well have improvised large parts of this album makes for an all the more absorbing listen. A great kick start to the year for Dead Pilot Records, and a welcome introduction to Guillaume Gargaud if new to his work. I'd urge you to pick up this album now, you won't regret it.

Britney Spears has resolved her differences with pop rival Avril Lavigne - and recruited her as her new party pal.
Their new friendship comes just four months after Lavigne, 22, criticised Spears for being too weak to handle the pressures of fame.
Referring to the fallen pop superstar's brief stint in rehab, she said: "What's happened to Britney is all down to who she is as a person. If you want a piece of this business you have to be able to deal with it. You can't complain about the pressures, the paparazzi, the madness, because that's your job."
Lavigne has also previously hit out at the 25-year-old mother-of-two for dressing "like a showgirl" and dancing "like a hoe".
But the pop pair managed to put their problems behind them and hours after Spears was ordered to submit to random drug and alcohol tests as part of her ongoing child custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline, the Toxic singer was out on the town in Hollywood.
Spears joined pals at club Hyde late on Tuesday night (18Sep07), where she met Lavigne and the stars shared a ride to another hotspot, Winston's.
Swarmed by paparazzi, Spears later pulled into the Beverly Hills Police Station and asked officers for an escort home.

A look inside the opulent Hall of 1,000 Buddhas at Uigoksa Temple in Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do.
Hello Again Everyone!!
Continuing my exploration of western Gyeongnam province, I decided to stop by Jinju. While Jinju doesn’t have a big name temple like Tongdosa Temple or Haeinsa Temple, there were a couple that I wanted to at least explore, and Uigoksa Temple was one of those temples.
At the end of a road, and through the temple’s parking lot, you’ll be greeted by the stately Cheonwangmun (Heavenly Kings Gate)/bell pavilion. As you pass through the Cheonwangmun, you’ll notice four beautiful renderings of the Heavenly Kings in the midst of the gate.
After passing through the gate, and under the bell pavilion, you’ll enter into the compact temple courtyard. And if you look upwards from where you first came, you’ll be able to see the stout temple bell that’s adorned with various Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Biseon. On the immediate right side of the temple courtyard is the monks’ dorms. Interestingly, to your immediate left, and next to the temple’s main office, is a hall for visitors to sit and meditate. When I visited, there were at least ten people sitting and meditating in this hall.
Directly across from the meditation hall, and across the width of the temple courtyard, is the Hall of 1,000 Buddhas. Sitting on the main altar, and in the centre of a triad of statues, is a diminutive statue of Birojana-bul (The Buddha of Cosmic Energy). This triad is surrounded by a thousand white Buddha statues that gives the hall its name. On the right wall is an older looking guardian mural. Strangely, there’s a mural of Seokgamoni-bul (The Historical Buddha) on the floor and at the foot of the guardian mural.
One of the final buildings at Uigoksa Temple is the main hall. The exterior is surrounded by the Shimu-do (Ox-Herding) murals, as well as other murals like the Bodhidharma and Wonhyo’s enlightenment mural. And to the right rear there is a sheer rock face that houses an assortment of Buddhist statues.


As for the interior of the hall, and sitting on the main altar, is a triad centred by Seokgamoni-bul. To his left is a statue of Jijang-bosal (The Bodhisattva of the Afterlife), and to the right is a regal statue of Gwanseeum-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Compassion). Framing this triad are two paintings on either side of the main altar. To the right is a colourful painting of Jijang-bosal surrounded by the Ten Kings of the Underworld. And to the left is an equally colourful guardian painting with Dongjin-bosal (The Bodhisattva that Protects the Buddha’s Teachings) at its centre.
The last building at the temple, and up an embankment to the right rear of the main hall, is the Samseong-gak shaman shrine hall. As you enter the hall, you’ll be greeted by a golden wall of Sanshin (The Mountain Spirit) statues on the left wall. As for the altar, a beautiful rendering of the Chilseong (The Seven Stars) mural sits in the centre. If you look close enough at the mural, you’ll notice the large headed Bukseong (Northern Star) figure in the top left. His head seems a bit larger than usual. And to the right and left of the Chilseong mural are the San shin and Dokseong (The Recluse) murals, which are good in their own right.
HOW TO GET THERE: To get to Uigoksa Temple, you’ll first have to get to Jinju Intercity Bus Terminal. From the bus terminal, you’ll easily be able to get a taxi to drive you the 1.8 kilometres it takes to get to Uigoksa Temple. In total, it should only take you ten minutes from the bus terminal to the temple, and it should cost you under 3,000 Won. It’s definitely one of the easier temples to find.
OVERALL RATING: 6/10. While this temple won’t blow you away with what it has to offer, there are a couple unique things to grab your attention like the Hall of 1,000 Buddhas. Also, the murals inside of the Samseong-gak are both unique and expertly executed.


And finally, the murals inside of the main hall, as well as the meditation hall for visitors are but a few highlights to Uigoksa Temple in Jinju.
