As a young man, Seattle-based illustrator Ed Fotheringham cut his teeth on the chaotic energy of punk rock. Born in Portland, Oregon but raised in Australia, Fotheringham spent the early to mid-Eighties as a student at the University of Washington in Seattle, where he met both Mark Arm and Steve Turner. Before Arm and Turner went on to form Mudhoney, they played with Fotheringham in various bands, most notably The Thrown Ups. As lead singer, Fotheringham pushed the limits of both music and good taste.

Your work has never been overtly political, has it?
No, not at all. In fact, my work is often, unfortunately, called "whimsical". I have made my career as an illustrator, not a fine artist (tried that, didn't dig it), so my work tends to exist as commissioned visual solutions to outside problems. The solutions can run the gamut from poodles to poo jokes, depending on audience, intent, and venue.
They say that hard times make for great art. What are your thoughts on that?
I think hard times can inspire a type of reaction from artists (especially in editorial and poster art) that might not occur during more placid times. Is the art better? I'm not sure about that. I think art is a product of its environment. It can operate effectively as a salve (or a call to action) for those who need it in hard times. Art can also be reflection of beauty, a guide to new way of looking (thinking), a personal expression, a meditative object, or a mechanism for the many different responses that great art elicits.
Why did you decide to start your series of drawings of President Trump?
The next morning I woke with a vision in my head of Miller holding Trump's tie, trailing between his legs, as a page would a king's robe. I didn't like Miller, for all sorts of reasons, and his alpha response, emanating dead-eyed from his not yet fully formed yet prematurely bald physical being, made me laugh and spit up. I had the idea, and I decided to draw it. I liked what I drew, and posted it to my personal Facebook account. I liked the immediacy of being able to post almost in real time, as events had unfolded. I kept drawing as I would read about the absurd palace intrigue and the egomaniacal drama that unfolded. It became like morning calisthenics.
What role does humor play in these drawings?
Humor is the reason I make the drawings. I realize that there is a whole lot of outrage regarding the Trump administration, and a lot of the response is just that: outrage. There is also a humorous absurdity in the daily workings of the administration, pointed out often in editorial discussion and opinion, but which I think is more effectively expressed through illustration. It is the humor of the obvious. I try to refrain from words (besides a title), and just let visual metaphor do its thing, with no superlative adjectives to grapple with.
I listen to NPR in the morning, and I read The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The New Yorker. Sometimes my inspiration is lifted directly from the news or a combination of news bits. An example is the drawing of Bannon (as Thomas Cromwell) feeding Trump (as Henry VIII) well-done steak as he squeezes ketchup. Timothy Egan had written an op-ed in the NY Times regarding the similarities between Bannon and Cromwell, while another story popped up (somewhere) about Trump's eating habits (well done NY strip and ketchup). The visual combination seemed more powerful than the individual parts.
Sometimes my inspiration comes from left field. An example is the drawing of Melania Trump in bed reading Kafka. Both the book, and the New York skyline outside, are upside down. I was listening to a public radio interview with, perhaps (my memory is not clear on this, but…) a climate scientist who worked for the EPA. The interviewer described the situation as "Kafkaesque", at which point I thought of Melania alone in Trump Tower.
Mostly, though, I make up my own absurd situations (or metaphors) that push the topic: Trump putting a banana in an ambulance tail pipe; Flynn as the "Boy in the Bubble" after asking for immunity; McConnell as Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove riding the bomb, after the nuclear option was exercised to confirm Gorsich; Trump and Putin crossing streams etc, etc.
You've produced a number of album covers over the years. What bands have you done work for?
Hmmm. Mudhoney, Love Battery, Flop, The Fall-Outs, Supersuckers, Joe Henderson, Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, and Bob Dylan. Sometimes covers, sometimes elements, once just a back cover (Dylan's awesome Christmas record). I've done quite a few fluffy Xmas packages for Starbucks, too. If a call comes in, I say yes mostly. I have kids.
Do you have a favorite Mudhoney story?
Not really a favorite story… I went to college with singer Mark Arm, and have known guitarist Steve Turner for as long. My experience with them is on an old friend level, which makes it easier for them to make fun of me when trying to come up with covers. Back when they were originally on Sub Pop they asked me to do the cover art for Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge. I lived in a house with Steve at the time, and he would look at a cover idea in my room and say something like "pretty good, but how about…" and I would come up with another, to which he would say the same, and on. If you have the CD package, you'll notice they used all three versions. Bastards.

How is it different to draw political cartoons with no real client?
It's as different as night and day. Commissioned work is usually quite collaborative, the subject matter coming from the outside needing to be visually solved or complimented, and involving a stable of overseers (editors, art directors, clients etc.). Conversely, the current crop of my Trump cartoons are done by me, edited by me (so to say, not), and published by me. I'm not always sure of the quality level of what I'm putting online. I don't bounce anything off anybody else. I think there are some high points and some not so high points, but I don't mind that I don't hit home runs all the time. I also do children's books, and similarly like the waxing and waning of images and intent along a linear narrative. I think it's more like life.
Do you have any stories of album covers you've done that didn't turn out so well?

Q: Dual Delphi IDEs I use two monitors on my development system and I would like to run Delphi XE2 on both left and right. This seems to work alright and allows me to develop a client on one side and matching server on the other.
The only problem is that the IDEs seem to get confused on which monitor to start on in both design and Run time.
I have a Desktop Speed setting for left and right and I have two completly separate projects setup. Is there a setting I have missed?

A: When you run an application in the IDE, the IDE switches to what is by default named as Debug Layout in the IDE layout dropdown. You can setup and save different debug layouts and then activate the one(s) you want after you started the applications. E.g. Debug in Left Monitor and Debug in Right Monitor.
Edit
However, for a layout to switch to the monitor it was setup on, it (the layout) can not be maximized.

A: There is no option in the IDE, a shortcut to the IDE, or a specific project, to specify which monitor the IDE/project starts on. If your app wants to start on a particular monitor at runtime, its own code has to manage that at startup (see this). Otherwise, it is at the mercy of the OS deciding monitor to start it on.

(Image via Wikipedia: Views of a Foetus in the Womb, c. 1510 – 1512, a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci.)
I will admit to occasional single-minded ranting. You might think that, as an astronomer who studies the outer part of the solar system, my rants are restricted to issues like classification of planets, bad weather at telescopes, and the possible effects of secular perturbation on the perihelion evolution of detached Kuiper belt objects. But my other main job, being a parent to a now-5-year-old daughter, provides me a plethora of new things to rant about, also.
My daughter provided me the very first opportunity before she was even born. Back then, she was code-named Petunia, and all I really wanted was some way to understand what Petunia's July 11th due date actually meant. The ranting really didn't begin until sometime in the third trimester. Here is an excerpt from How I Killed Pluto and How It Had It Coming from the moment when simmering frustration turns into full-scale rant.
Petunia was getting bigger. Her bones were hardening. Her eyebrows were growing. She had a July 11th due date, and, though there was not much I could do to influence anything, I could, nonetheless obsess about what, precisely, a due date means. I asked anyone who I thought might have some insight. I know, for example, that due dates are simply calculated by adding 40 weeks to the start of the mother's last menstrual cycle. But how effective is that? How many babies are born on their due dates?
Our child birthing class teacher: "Oh only 5% of babies are actually born on their due dates."
Me: So are half born before, half after?
Teacher: "Oh you can't know when the baby is going to come."
Me: I get it. I just want to know the statistics.
Teacher: "The baby will come when it is ready."
I asked on obstetrician.
Doctor: "The due date is just an estimate. There is no way of knowing when the baby will come."
Me: But of your patients, what fraction delivers before and what fraction deliver after the due date?
Doctor: "I try not to think of it that way."
I propose a simple experiment for anyone who works in the field of childbirth. Here's all you have to do. Spend a month in a hospital. Every time a child is born, ask the mother what the original due date was. Determine how many days early or late each child is. Plot these dates on a piece of graph paper. Draw a straight line for the bottom horizontal axis. Label the middle of the axis zero. Each grid point to the left is then the number of days early. Each grid point to the right is the number of days late. Count how many children were born on their precise due dates. Count up that number of points on the vertical axis of your graph and mark the spot at zero.
Do the same with the number of children born one day late. Two days late. Three. Four. Keep going.
Now do the early kids.
When you have finished plotting all of the due dates label the top of the plot "The distribution of baby delivery dates compared to their due date."
Make a copy. Send it to me in the mail.
My guess is that you will have something that looks like a standard bell curve. I would hope that the bell would be more or less centered at zero. It would either be tall and skinny – most kids are born within a few days of their due dates – or short and fat – there is quite a wide range around the due date.
One thing I know, though, is that the bell would have a dent on the right side. At least around here, no kids are born more than a week or two after their due dates. Everyone is induced by then.
I am usually capable of allowing myself to give up in trying to get the world to see things in my scientific, statistical, mathematical way. But this one mattered to me. If I were at a dinner party with Diane and the subject of due dates was ever breached Diane would turn to me with a slightly mortified look in her eyes and whisper "Please?"
I would rant about doctors. About teachers. About lack of curiosity and dearth of scientific insight and fear of math. I would speculate on the bell curve and how fat or skinny it was and how much it was modified by induction and C-sections and whether different hospitals had different distributions.
Inevitably the people at the dinner parties would be friends from Caltech. Most had kids. Most of the fathers were scientists. Most of the mothers were not. (Even today things remain frighteningly skewed, though, interestingly, most of my graduate students in recent years have been female. Times have no choice but to change.)
As soon as I started my rant the fathers would all join in: "Yeah! I could never get that question answered either," and they would bring up obscure statistical points of their own.
The mothers would all roll their eyes, lean in towards Diane, and whisper "I am SO sorry. I know just how you feel" and inquire as to how she was feeling and sleeping and how Petunia kicked and squirmed (as an aside, my female graduate students wanted to know the answer to my question, too, and were prepared to rant alongside me. Times have no choice but to change.)

Vatican says it is "morally acceptable" for Catholics to get COVID-19 vaccines developed from abortion fetal tissue
Funny how times change! The Vatican has declared that it is "morally acceptable" for Roman Catholics to receive coronavirus vaccines developed from research that used fetal tissue from abortions. The Catholic Church still says that abortion is a grave sin. From the Associated Press: The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican's watchdog… READ THE REST
The Quantum X is the world's first upright water filtration vacuum
For most of the past century, vacuums were pretty much just vacuums. They suctioned dirt and other debris up off the floor, then passed it through a cloth or paper-based filter that would trap and collect all the dirt. But, a few decades ago, the water filtration vacuum showed up – and changed the game.… READ THE REST

Marcus Popillius Laenas war ein römischer Politiker um die Mitte des 2. Jahrhunderts v. Chr.

Er war Sohn des gleichnamigen Konsuls des Jahres 173 v. Chr. Von seiner frühen Karriere ist wenig bekannt: 154 v. Chr. war er Gesandter in Ligurien, um Vorwürfe der Massalioten zu untersuchen. 146 v. Chr. gehörte er der Gesandtschaft nach Korinth an, die von der aufgeputschten Menge verjagt wurde, was zur Entsendung des Lucius Mummius und letztendlich zur Zerstörung Korinths führte.

Im Jahr 139 v. Chr. wurde Popillius zum Konsul gewählt und erhielt als provincia Hispania citerior, wo er auch im Folgejahr als Prokonsul blieb. Sein Vorgänger im Kommando, Quintus Pompeius, hatte mit den Einwohnern von Numantia einen Vertrag geschlossen, der auf eine bedingungslose Kapitulation (deditio) hinauslief, was er den Numantinern aber verschwiegen hatte. Als nun Popillius die Auslieferung der Waffen forderte, weigerten sie sich und schickten eine Gesandtschaft nach Rom. Bis zur Klärung der Umstände vor dem Senat blieb Popillius untätig. Nachdem der Senat entschieden hatte, den Krieg fortzuführen, unternahm er einen Sturmangriff auf die Mauern Numantias. Dabei geriet das römische Heer in einen Hinterhalt und wurde empfindlich geschlagen. 137 v. Chr. wurde er von Gaius Hostilius Mancinus abgelöst. Wegen dieser Niederlage wurde er von dem Dichter Gaius Lucilius verspottet. Über sein weiteres Leben ist nichts bekannt.

Now that the countdown has begun for the Holiday season, it had me wondering how did they celebrate this festive season during the Regency era.
Throughout Europe, England being no exception, the custom of giving a gift on the 6 of December, in commemoration of St. Nicholas, was widespread. Eventually, however, separate customs tended to become condensed. Thus a gift was given for New Year or Twelfth Night.
Once Twelfth Night was over, all the decorations were taken down and the greenery burned, or the house risked bad luck.
The Christmas holidays lasted for several weeks, due in part to the long, cold journeys undertaken to visit family for the holidays and the guests were reluctant to leave again. This put a strain on the cook and housewife alike, and a varied and full menu had to be prepared for guests, and for the possibility of those same guests being snowbound, and not being able to depart.
Christmas pudding as we now know it first appeared in the reign of King George III. It was said to have been invented especially for him by his chief, because of his inordinate love of English puddings. Before this, the pudding was more of a pottage or porridge, with all the right ingredients we attend to associate with the traditional Christmas pudding but cooked in a large cloth and rather sloppy. Which leads us to Bullet Pudding which was a family name for Christmas Pudding or should I say, the name given to a particular pudding which turned out to be as hard as a bullet.
Imagine putting on a fine ball gown decollété, floaty and clinging, leaving no room for flannel petticoats, your hair dressed in such a way that only the flimsiest scarf can protect your head from the cold night. The coach offers little protection, draughty. What you need when you arrive at the Christmas Ball is a bowl of white soup to put color in your cheeks before greeting the other guests and old acquaintances there, already glowing from their own partaking of the soup, mulled wine and the dancing.
Anyone care for a glass of Wassail?
Ravenstone changed topics —and directions—abruptly, before she could respond. Touching her elbow lightly, he walked her across the ballroom to an alcove, discretely screened by potted palms. He escorted her to a green velvet chaise longue, and Lady Emma smoothed a hand over her already neatly coiffed hair. He knew her reputation would be in ruins if someone from the ton should stumble upon them in such an intimate situation without benefit of a chaperone. At this moment, though, he only wanted to be with her. His thoughts went to the painting displayed in a place of honor this very night. Of course Emma couldn't have known it was an image of the very day he had experienced his descent into hell. His thoughts must have shown on his face, for she placed her hand lightly over his.
Ravenstone's chuckle cut her off abruptly.
He spoke against the softness of her skin, and planted his lips tenderly on her forehead.
Reaching up to pluck one of the white berries, "Kiss number two," he whispered, then kissed each eyelid in turn, finally pressing his lips on her mouth. His hands wrapped tightly in her hair, holding her head at exactly the right angle for his ministrations. His body pressed her back against the upholstered arm of the chaise, and he welcomed the heat she generated. Her response was creating such amazing sensations that he simply pressed closer. She swayed, and he swayed with her, wrapping his arms around her, intoxicated. He just wanted to hold her close. To absorb her sweetness. Light burst inside him for the first time since that fateful day in France. He had thought he'd rather face an army of Napoleon's men than consider marriage. But when he was with Emma, anything seemed possible.
When he was with her, he never wanted to let her out of his sight. He loved how she challenged him. Unlike the other women on the marriage mart, Emma wasn't frightened of his stern expression. He wasn't sure when he'd started to think of her in such intimate terms, but it felt right. She didn't pout or flutter her eyelashes ridiculously in an attempt to make him smile. She had enough joi de vivre for them both. A few curls tumbled loose from her coiffeur. He heard her breath catch, but she remained within his embrace, and her eyes fluttered open.
Lettice shook her head, then giggled.
Mad? She must be. Lettice felt as though she were losing all sense of reality. His kisses sent her into a state of bliss that she hoped would last forever. She should stop him from taking any more liberties, push him away, but her body wanted more. For once in her life, she wanted to experience what others had. Lettice had read and overheard enough to realize what could transpire between a man and a woman. This—whatever this was—was worth the consequences.
An Earl's Christmas Embrace will be released on November 23rd.
I have been reading romance novels since my aunt introduced me at the age of fourteen and I have not stopped reading them.
Regency romances are one of my all-time favorite eras (grand ballrooms, dinner parties while sitting next to a grand duke or war hero just returned from fighting against Napoleon and the French. Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?).
When I am not reading (or writing the stories I have visions in my head and are now writing), I am enjoying the joyful moments with my growing family, the ballet and romantic movies.
Writing has always been a great passion for me, a long road of many ups and downs (and lots of online writing classes) and the years it took to get the craft right, finally, all my time and efforts paid off and now my dream of becoming a published author is going to become a reality thanks to a great opportunity of winning a first chapter Facebook contest.


I need your unwanted usb keyboard.
I need to dismantle a usb keyboard for an art project. The guts of the keyboard must be in working order, but missing keys, damaged case, etc are no problem. Must be USB, Not the old-style PS/2 cables. If you can't confirm whether the keyboard works and want to give it away for free, I might be able to use it.
I need a busted old manual typewriter for an art project. Must be manual, not electric. I will be dismantling the typewriter, so I don't want something that's still serviceable. Save those for the collectors.
… It also involves scrap metal, spray paint, a foot pedal, and a computer running iTunes. You can fill in the gaps.

Inspiring Nature, Inspired Techno, Biomimicry and Transport will open at the Okanagan Science Centre on Jan. 16. (Submitted photo)
Be inspired by nature at the Okanagan Science Centre
Centre's latest travelling exhibition set to open Jan. 16
Brendan Shykora
The Okanagan Science Centre's latest travelling exhibition will soon invite guests to draw inspiration from nature.
Inspiring Nature, Inspired Techno, Biomimicry and Transport is an exploration of biomimesis – the idea that innovations all around us are inspired by nature.
"Although the word "biomimicry" might not be in everyone's daily vocabulary, it is visible in our daily lives – such as how the lightweight bones of a bird inspire vehicles' structure, or how the shape of a kingfisher's beak was adopted to reduce the noise on high-speed trains," said Carla-Jean Stokes, exhibition coordinator.
The exhibition will open at the science centre on Jan. 16 and will run until March 28.
"A sense of curiosity develops in all people from a young age, and we learn first through play," said Stokes.
"Cutting-edge travelling exhibitions allow people of all ages to examine specimens from nature and technology that are not part of the Centre's regular collection."
The exhibition is a production of the Museum of Ingenuity J. Armand Bombardier, in collaboration with the Sherbrooke Science and Nature Museum, the Granby Zoo and the Institut Biomimétisme Francophone. It was made possible thanks to contributions by Heritage Canada's Museum Assistance Program and local sponsor Big Steel Box.
The Okanagan Science Centre also plans to introduce a completely new space exhibition in June 2020, along with the new Bruce Aitkenhead Planetarium.
For families heading out of town this year, their membership will also gain them free entry to 29 science centres across Canada.
The Okanagan Science Centre is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Tuesday to Friday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Saturday.

Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible
Meyer's Commentary
Wells of Living Water
Coke's Commentary
The next prophecy dealt ultimately with the one Shepherd. It opened with an indictment of the false shepherds through whom all these evil things had happened to the people. Their sin had been that they had ministered to themselves. Feeding themselves and clothing themselves, they had not fed the sheep, neither had they ministered to the diseased and the sick and the broken and the needy. The result of the failure of the shepherds was that the people were scattered, and had become a prey of the beasts of the field. Because of all this, Jehovah was against the shepherds, and would deliver the sheep.
That deliverance the prophet then described in language full of beauty. Jehovah said, "I Myself, even I, will search . . . and seek . . . and deliver . . . and bring them out . . . and gather them . . . bring them in . . . and feed them . . . and cause them to lie down . . . and bind up . . . and strengthen."
Continuing the same message, the prophet proceeded to declare that the action of Jehovah would be not merely delivering, but also governing. In the gracious words declaring His shepherd care, the last statement was, "I will feed them in judgment." That is explained in the following paragraph, in which the discrimination and administration of Jehovah are manifest, in that He judges between cattle and cattle, and prevents the strong from treading down the pasture to the injury of the weak.
Finally, there was the gracious and glorious promise of the one Shepherd, for the description of whom the prophet borrowed the name of the king who had most perfectly realized in the history of the people the purpose of God. In the fulness of time the one Shepherd appeared, and in a mystery of iniquity the sheep whom He would have gathered flung Him out to the beasts. The men of Israel, "by the hands of lawless men did crucify and slay," and they have been scattered more widely and terribly than ever.

For Immediate Release- LGBT HealthLink Grades States on LGBT Tobacco Integration
December 10, 2014 LGBT HealthLinkLeave a comment

LGBT HealthLink Grades States on LGBT Tobacco Integration
Ft. Lauderdale, FL – December 10, 2014 – LGBT HealthLink today announced the first ever grades for state tobacco programs' LGBT inclusion practices. The grades, based on a survey of best practices originally conducted in 2013 and updated this fall, represent an assessment of the overall progress each state has made in addressing inclusion, including policies, training, data collection, and community engagement. Grades span from "A" to "F", with the average across states a "C+".
LGBT people smoke at rates that are over 50% higher than the general population and experience profound health disparities in both cancer and smoking-related disease. The survey was developed to bring transparency to how successful states are at integrating this disproportionately affected population into their overall tobacco control work.
According to Daniella Matthews-Trigg, Administrator of LGBT HealthLink, "The results of this survey not only illustrate the work that needs to be done, but highlights the impressive efforts by many states. Our hope is that creating a system for comparison will motivate states to adopt as many best practices as possible, thereby improving acceptance and wellness in LGBTQ communities around the country". LGBT HealthLink is offering resources to each state to improve their grades.
For several years, LGBT HealthLink (formerly the Network for LGBT Health Equity) has been circulating "Identifying and Eliminating LGBT Tobacco Disparities", a document outlining the best practices for state programs in LGBT tobacco control, and working closely with states to implement them. These report cards are intended to gauge adoption of those best practices at a state level and create a baseline for future work.
The release of the report cards comes just after the CDC's Office of Smoking and Health recently accepted applications from states for their next five years of tobacco funding. Dr. Scout, Director of LGBT HealthLink, noted that "In order to eliminate the LGBT smoking disparity, we need to make sure the tobacco control community targets us just like the tobacco industry already does."
Matthews-Trigg emphasized how closely HealthLink is working with states improve their grades, "We are the people providing technical assistance to these states to do this well, so this is really a report card of our work as much as theirs. We look forward to continuing our work with the many amazing state representatives to get these grades even higher."

CDC's #20Million Memorial
October 8, 2014 LGBT HealthLinkLeave a comment
#20Million Memorial
Just a mere fifty years ago, the U.S. Surgeon General released its first report on smoking and health. It's sad to report that since then, there have been an estimated 20 million deaths in the United States, all from smoking and/or exposure to secondhand smoke. To put 20 million into perspective, there are only 2 states that have more than 20 million residents, and that would be California and Texas.
This addiction not only claimed 20 million lives, but it left husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, and friends heartbroken and sometimes alone. To visually get their point across, the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) launched an online memorial, this will commemorate the loss of the 20 million people, who have lost their lives to smoking related diseases.
The campaign began October 7th. People all across the country are taking to social media to share their testimony of people whom they lost and how it has affected their families. You can also be a part of this heartfelt memorial.
How do you get involved you asked? Start by sharing a memorial—a message and/or a photo—of someone you know who has lost their life to a smoking-related disease. By posting your memorial on social media with the hashtag #20million, your submission will become a part of CDC's #20Million Memorial.
Below are examples you can use when drafting your own memorial(s).\
If you don't know anyone who has died from smoking, you can still get involved by promoting the #20Million Memorial campaign as well. Listed below are sample social media messages for you to post on your organization's social media platforms or on your social media sites:
Today marks the kickoff of CDC's #20Million Memorial. Since the 1964 Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health, 20 million people have died from a smoking-related illness. Share a memorial of someone you lost with the hashtag #20million.
Together with @CDCTobaccoFree, we honor the #20million we have lost due to smoking. Share a memorial post of someone you lost using the hashtag #20million.
Join @CDCTobaccoFree to raise awareness about the #20million people who have died because of smoking. www.cdc.gov/tips
Who in your life has been affected by a smoking-related illness? Share your story using the #20million hashtag. www.cdc.gov/tips
We hope that you will join us all in memorializing our loved ones, and potentially changing the lives of people who battle with tobacco use. If you have any questions, please contact Maggie Silver at uvt8@cdc.gov or Jackie Woodring at ime9@cdc.gov.
Yet another life lost to smoking
August 21, 2014 feleciakingLeave a comment
We are deeply saddened to report that Bill Busse, a Tips From Former Smokers ad participant, has passed away. The cause of death was heart disease, which is very common for smokers. Bill shared his story on the Tips From Former Smokers Campaign about the affects that smoking had on his health (made more severe by diabetes, which he had since childhood).
The CDC released a statement from Tim McAfee, Director, CDC's Office on Smoking and Health on the passing of Bill Busse. The CDC asks that you please direct any questions and/or condolences to TobaccoMediaCampaign@cdc.gov. The CDC will make sure that your correspondence is forwarded to Bill's family.
Bill's health problems didn't stop him from heroically coming forward towarn other smokers of some of the dangers they faced if they don't quit smoking. Nor did his health problems stop Bill from enjoying time with his kids.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Bill's wife, two children and two step-children, as well as his parents and his sister.
A tip for smokers, from the man himself; "Make a list and put the people you love at the top, put down your eyes your legs your kidneys and your heart, now cross off all the things you're okay with losing, because you'd rather smoke."

New Tips From Former Smokers Ad Features Effects of Tobacco & HIV
July 8, 2014 July 8, 2014 feleciakingLeave a comment
Felecia King
Project Specialist
The Network for LGBT Health Equity
This week, the CDC launched the next phase of the Tips From Former Smokers Campaign, and this time they are tackling the issue of tobacco and HIV. The ad features Brian, who smoked for 30 years, and suffered a stroke as a complication of his HIV and tobacco use. (read more about Brian's story HERE)
Smoking is especially harmful to people who are living with HIV. For example, smokers with HIV:
Are at higher risk than non-smokers with HIV of developing lung cancer, head and neck cancers, cervical and anal cancers, and other cancers;
Are more likely than non-smokers with HIV to develop bacterial pneumonia, Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP), COPD, and heart disease;
Are more likely than non-smokers with HIV to develop two conditions that affect the mouth: oral candidiasis (thrush) and oral hairy leukoplakia; and
Have a poorer response to antiretroviral therapy.
People with HIV who smoke are also less likely to keep to their HIV treatment plan and have a greater likelihood of developing an AIDS-defining condition and dying earlier than non-smokers with HIV.
(the above examples are from Aids.gov <– Click the link for more info!)
For these reasons, smoking is a significant health issue for all individuals, but it is even more of a concern for people living with HIV, who tend to smoke more than the general population. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 19% of adults in the United States are smokers. However, the smoking rate is two to three times higher among adults who are HIV-positive.

April 10, 2014 LGBT HealthLinkLeave a comment
CDC's Office on Smoking and Health seeks ex-smokers
to be in Tips From Former Smokers campaign!
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Office on Smoking and Health are recruiting additional candidates to be considered for an upcoming national education campaign, Tips From Former Smokers (Tips). This campaign is similar to previous campaigns seen here, real people who have had life-changing, smoking-related health problems will be featured. They are conducting a national search to find people with compelling stories who are willing to participate in their campaign.
The CDC and OSH are seeking people from all backgrounds, and are particularly looking for candidates who are of Asian descent. All applicants must be tobacco-free for at least 6 months.
They are looking for ex-smokers who:
· Have or have had colorectal cancer that was linked to cigarette smoking (ages 30–65).
· Have or have had macular degeneration that was linked to cigarette smoking (ages 40–65).
· Used cigars with cigarettes or used cigarillos or little cigars with or without cigarettes, thinking cigars, cigarillos and little cigars were healthier than cigarettes and developed a serious health condition while smoking (ages 20-60).
· Used e-cigarettes or smokeless tobacco for at least a year while continuing to smoke some cigarettes; and
· Thought using e-cigarettes or smokeless tobacco to cut back on some cigarettes would be good for your health; and
· Despite cutting back, you were later diagnosed with a serious health condition.
All individuals should be comfortable sharing their story publicly and be able to articulate how their smoking-related condition has changed their life. The association between smoking and their condition must be clear, and candidates' physicians will be contacted to verify that smoking contributed to the condition.
The CDC and OSH would like for you to help distribute this flyer (below). Please feel free to email it to anyone who might be willing to help CDC recruit for this campaign. The flyer can be posted in public areas or shared with anyone who may know people who fit the criteria above.

Benson & Hedges Targets LGBTT Communities in Puerto Rico
April 3, 2014 LGBT HealthLink1 Comment
Juan Carlos Vega, MLS
Blogging for the Citizens' Alliance Pro LGBTTA Health of Puerto Rico, National Latino Alliance Pro Health Equity and the Network for LGBT Health Equity
This is bad! As health professionals, community prevention programs, and the Puerto Rico Department of Health strive to reduce tobacco use prevalence among island inhabitants, we have busted Benson & Hedges, twice, targeting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and transexual (LGBTT) communities in San Juan area's LGBTT clubs. Cute girls, in tight outfits, look to scan your driver's license in order to continue to help folks initiate or facilitate access to low price cigarettes. If you fill out the survey that they present at these bars and allow them to scan your id, you can purchase a pack of Benson & Hedges from the bar at a huge discount. No wonder LGBTT smoking prevalence is two to three times higher than that of the general population.
Health Authorities Warn: Smoking Kills
Twice, I have been with gay guys who are trying to quit smoking for health and financial reasons and they have been accosted by such tobacco industry tactics. One time, we bought the cigarettes, the second time we resisted. Yes, I was included. After nine years of being smoke free, I have become an occasional social smoker for the past 3-4 years. It is so nasty, the smoke inhalation, the after taste, yet, after a few drinks, I see myself taking a "hit" or two from my friends' cigarettes. I don't blame the industry for my personal unhealthy choices, but they sure don't help us quit for good! Access to cheap smokes at bars should not be allowed!
Last weekend, was the second consecutive month, we have seen this predatory practice in our local LGBTT bars. It was contrasting to see as we were distributing promotional flyers for the 3rd LGBTT Health Summit of Puerto Rico, April 4th and 5th at the School of Nursing of the Medical Science Campus of the University of Puerto Rico, free of cost for the general public and $45.00 fee for Continuing Education for Physicians and Nurses. Against the luring of the tobacco industry to get us to smoke again, the Citizens' Alliance Pro LGBTT Healthefforts continue to fight the dangers of tobacco use with the support ofLegacy Foundation, the Network for LGBT Health Equity, theComprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Puerto Rico, and the local tobacco free coalition. For more information, on how tobacco affects the health of LGBTT communities, come to the 3rd LGBTT Health Summit of Puerto Rico: Tendencies Towards Health EquityApril 4th and 5th in San Juan. Come by, our Summit is cheaper than the pack of cigarettes sold those nights and you will get great information, make new friends and learn how to take better care of yourselves!

E-Cigarettes: Friend or Foe for the LGBT Communities?
April 2, 2014 Dr. ScoutLeave a comment
As published on Huffington Post's new LGBT Wellness blog, see original at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/scout-phd/e-cigarettes-friend-or-foe_b_5024583.html
Working in tobacco control sometimes elicits interesting reactions from people. Some try to hide their smoking. While I certainly appreciate not being near the smoke itself, I've got great empathy for smokers. In fact, since most smokers have already tried to quit, they're much more likely to be fellow fighters against tobacco than non-smokers. Sometimes they ask me how to best quit and I'm happy to tell them (hint, call 1-800-QUITNOW). These days everyone's asking me something new: What about e-cigarettes? The shortest answer is "they could be helpful for a few, but we all worry about our youth."
First, if you're not familiar with e-cigs, they are battery-powered imitators of old-school cigarettes, designed to deliver nicotine, flavor and other chemicals through vapor inhaled by the user. Most of them have a swag little electronic light at the tip to make it seem more like an old-school cig. Some now have other names like e-hookah to avoid any cigarette associations. The claim is here's a no-combustion device to get your nicotine fix, great for cessation and great to smoke in places where cigarettes are banned.
There is one study supporting the effects of e-cigs in helping people quit smoking but now another study is out contravening it. Considering how toxic cigarette smoke is, we all applaud anything that helps reduce the amount of cigarette smoke in the air. But if you're trying to use e-cigs as a cessation device it's a bit dicey right now because they're unregulated, so the amount of nicotine you get in each dose varies, and sometimes does not match the advertising. It's commonly known that it only takes about two weeks to kick the nicotine addiction of smoking, but anyone who's quit will tell you, it's the social habit of smoking that draws you back again and again. I'm not sure how putting a cigarette replacement in your mouth helps you kick that social habit — sounds to me like it's just perpetuating it. Plus there is a new study showing other toxic chemicals in the vapor. To top it off, there's no real science on the long-term effects of inhaling nicotine vapor. So while I'm willing to bet it's better than inhaling tobacco smoke, that's like saying I bet it's better than inhaling truck exhaust. Nicotine is so toxic, poison control centers just issued an alert about high numbers of calls on accidental exposure. Just touching the liquid is enough to cause vomiting and ingesting as little as a teaspoon of some of the liquid nicotine concentrations can be fatal. I hope people set a higher bar for their own cessation journey.
The real problem is, as anyone who's visited a vaporium can see, it's not a cessation game. Vaporiums and e-cigs are all about enticing, and particularly enticing young people. Wander into your local vaporium belly up to the "bar" and you'll be shocked to see how many vaporiums look like the lovechild of a hip coffee shop and a candy store. I'm not sure exactly which adult Marlboro user would switch to cotton candy flavored nicotine cartridges, or banana nut bread, or cherry limeade. Sounds to me more like flavors I'd find at a little league game. To make it worse, these products are easily available online and many states aren't yet doing anything to restrict access to minors. Data show LGBT youth continue to smoke at rates much higher than their non-LGBT counterparts and the number of youth experimenting with e-cigs is rising rapidly… the very last thing we need is to have some fancy new gadgetry on the market enticing LGBT youth to start using a highly addictive drug to deal with the stress of stigma against us all.
We pass on smoking down through the LGBT generations socially. I've always called it an STD for us, a socially transmitted disease. So I also worry about adult e-cig use. Every time you "light up" you're perpetuating the huge LGBT cigarette culture, all of us laughing and having fun and hanging out, with cigarettes in our mouths.
We already have cessation aids that deliver you nicotine in controlled regulated doses, you can find those on every drugstore shelf. Nicely, there's not one gummy bear or watermelon flavored nicotine patch, spray or gum. So while e-cigs might help a few in quitting, I say the big picture on e-cigs for the LGBT communities is we need to think of our youth and "beware of the wolf in sheep's clothing."

Upcoming webinar about CDC's unveiling of "Talk with your doctor" sub-campaign- register today!
May 31, 2013 May 31, 2013 LGBT HealthLinkLeave a comment
Bringing you awesome Webinars and keeping you in the know!
A new feature of the CDC's Tips From Former Smokers campaign was unveiled this week— "Talk With Your Doctor" (TWYD). The goal of this phase of the campaign is to engage health care providers and encourage them to use Tips as an opportunity to start a dialogue with their patients who smoke about quitting. It is also meant to serve as a reminder for smokers to talk with their healthcare providers about effective methods to help them quit.
As you may remember from our press release about the Tips campaign, "One of the 'Tips from Former Smokers' ads features a lesbian who suffers from asthma triggered by working in a smoke filled bar. Recently released data from the CDC shows that LGBT people smoke cigarettes at rates that are nearly 70% higher than the general population." This new phase of the campaign is yet another amazing way to reach out to our communities about this huge disparity!
On Thursday, June 13th, The Network will be teaming up with the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association (GLMA) and CenterLink to bring you a webinar discussing the "Talk With Your Doctor" campaign, and the impact that it will have on the health of LGBT communities.
Join us at 2pm EST by registering HERE!

Celebrating Spring with some fierce quit tips!
The Network for LGBT Health Equity is one of six national Networks working to reduce tobacco-related disparities in priority populations.
APPEAL, Break Free Alliance, NAATPN, NLTCN, Keep it Sacred and (yours truly) the Network for LGBT Health Equity, represent populations that have higher rates of tobacco use and tobacco related illness. Under the umbrella of the Center for Disease Control, these Networks identify, explain, address, and reduce these disparities.
With the recent roll-out of the second phase of the CDC's Tips From Former Smokers Campaign, the National Networks wanted to highlight tips from members of our communities who have quit as well!
Seven fabulous LGBT people volunteered their stories and tips for quitting! You can see them all on the National Network's site!
Here's a sneak peek at some of the tips. Click on the name to read their whole story:
"Set achievable goals for yourself and reward yourself when you reach them. Make it a positive experience for yourself!"

– Erin
"I publicly announced that I quit smoking (on Facebook), so that I would have to be held accountable."
"A medical professional told me it was not a matter of "if", but "when" I would get emphysema. I chose a quit date and ended my addiction soon after."
– Martini
"Reach out for support — I found it helpful to share in my journey on Facebook and use the positive feedback of friends and family for encouragement and motivation to keep going."
– Sherrill
"Know you are worth the effort and can achieve freedom from the tobacco dependence." – Stuart
