On Sunday February 16, the largest Slovak parish in Canada, Sts. Cyril and Methodius Parish in Mississauga celebrated its parish Odpust (Feast day).
Mass was celebrated by Fr. Gregor Nowicki, former associate pastor of the parish and he was joined by Fr. Jozef Vano the parishes current pastor. In his sermon, Fr. Gregor spoke of the great mission of the patrons of the parish, the brothers Cyril and Methodius of Thessaloniki who over a millennia ago, christianized the Slavic peoples.
Following mass, a crowd over 200 parishioners, clergy and friends then gathered in the parish hall for a celebratory luncheon. A hearty meal was had by all, and following their meal the crowd was treated to a performance by the Vychodna Slovak Dancers. This event could not have been made possible without the tireless efforts of parish volunteers who gave several days of their time getting ready for the event.
The Odpust festivities mark the beginning of preparations to celebrate 80 years of the founding of Sts. Cyril and Methodius Parish, originally located on Claremont Street in downtown Toronto. This will culminate with a special mass and banquet on Sunday May 4 of this year. For more information on this milestone event, please continue to visit the parish website at www.slovakparish.ca.

Oh my goodness, have you visited Wondrously Polished before? If not, get on it. Lindsey is amazing. I had the pleasure of meeting her through the Digit-al Dozen and she's as sweet as she is talented! She started her blog in November of 2012 and has consistently produced amazing nail art from day one. I love her short, clean, well-manicured nails and perfect photography too! I'm so glad she accepted my invitation to post during this guest series. Thank you, Lindsey!
Lindsey's beautiful winter scene is worth another $10 from me to the Polished Girlz! If this is the first post you've read in the WPP "Blogging for a Cause" Guest Post Series...pop over to the intro post here to see what an amazing organization each of these bloggers are supporting with their participation.
Hello, all! I want to start with a huge thank you to Leslie for this wonderful opportunity to share my nail art with you all, but more importantly, for donating her time and resources to such an amazing cause! So, I'm not going to lie, having Leslie ask you to do a guest post is incredibly intimidating! After accepting, I immediately started stressing/brainstorming about what I was going to do. I've been really into painting scenes that span all of my nails lately and my first instinct was to do something along those lines for today.
Leslie's only request was that I do something festive for my post, and while these aren't explicitly "festive", I think that the wintery scene evokes the happy and content feelings that I experience during this festive time of year. Hopefully I didn't stray too far from the theme with this look!
I used Zoya's Dove as my base and did all of the art with varying detail brushes and acrylic paints (acrylic paint gives me a bit more control of my line work than polish does). I've been on a bit of a "cardinal in snow" kick lately and couldn't resist putting a few of them in this scene. If anyone is curious, I actually remembered to take photos during the major steps of this look so I compiled a little graphic with the breakdown.
Again, thank you so much to Leslie for this opportunity and thank you to all of you, the readers, for taking time out of your busy lives to check out my post!

How Risky is Tripadvisor Inc Stock?
The two biggest customers are also the two biggest potential competitors.
More and more people around the globe are using TripAdvisor to plan their trips. Source: Tripadvisor.
The trickiest thing about risk -- especially when it comes to investing -- is defining it.
Ask yourself: should the possibility of a 10% drop in one day qualify as a risk? In the past two years, shares of Tripadvisor (NASDAQ:TRIP) have fallen by at least 10% on two different occasions. Does that make it "risky"? What do you think after considering that shares have gone up by at least 10% on four different occasions in the same timeframe?
I would argue that this isn't risk -- it's just volatility. That's important, because I believe in defining risk as the possibility of losing a significant sum of money over the long run. For now, let's define that as "at least five years."
Given this, I see four main ways to measure the riskiness of Tripadvisor stock.
Nothing makes a company more fragile than debt. If tough times hit and you can't pay the bills, you can either declare bankruptcy or dilute your shareholders. The opposite of debt is cash on hand. If you have ample cash on hand, tough times can actually represent opportunity -- to acquire competitors or buy back stock.
For Tripadvisor, the company's balance sheet is in very good shape. The company has almost $700 million in cash and equivalents, with only $200 million in long-term debt.
If you want to see what customer concentration risk looks like, just look at the long list of companies that count on Apple for the majority of their revenue. Any decision made in Cupertino that could go against a supplier could end up bankrupting it.
The same type of risk is true across all industries, and is especially worth noting with Tripadvisor. During 2015, the company counted on Priceline.com (NASDAQ:BKNG) and Expedia (NASDAQ:EXPE) for a combined 46% of consolidated revenue. That revenue mainly comes in the form of advertising on Tripadvisor's website.
Importantly, Priceline and Tripadvisor reached an agreement this year whereby Tripadvisor visitors can instantly book reservations without leaving Tripadvisor's site, by having access to Priceline's Bookings.com listings.
Though this agreement should make investors feel good about close relations between the two companies, the fact that two customers wield so much control over Tripadvisor's revenue is reason for pause.
Here's where things really start to get tricky. Tripadvisor the website has a mile-long moat around it. While just about anyone can start a website for travel reviews -- or make an app to do the same -- no one has done it nearly as well as Tripadvisor.
According to the company's most recent earnings release, "user reviews and opinions reached 320 million at December 31, 2015, covering 995,000 hotels and accommodations, 770,000 vacation rentals, 3.8 million restaurants and 625,000 attractions."
Tripadvisor benefits from what I consider the most powerful moat: the network effect. With each additional review, more users are drawn to the site, which is additional motivation to list one's company on the site, which draws even further reviews. It's a virtuous cycle.
That means that Tripadvisor's moat for advertising is relatively strong. But the company's future actually lies in Instant Booking. The segment is considered part of click-based advertising -- which is the company's largest revenue stream -- but management doesn't break out how much is from Instant Booking and how much comes from the company's legacy Metasearch feature.
In Instant Booking, Tripadvisor's primary competitors are its biggest customers -- Priceline and Expedia. It's good news that Priceline is playing along for now, as are eight of the top ten hotel chains worldwide. Even though overall advertising revenue is well protected, however, the possibility still remains that competition for Instant Booking revenue will be fierce moving forward.
Finally, we have valuation risk. A company can grow its earnings by leaps and bounds, but still see its shares fall. That's because its stock could have been priced for even greater growth.
Currently, Tripadvisor trades for 31 times non-GAAP earnings and 33 times free cash flow. Those are expensive price tags, though not outrageously so. For comparison's sake, the S&P 500 is trading for about 21 times earnings. But the average S&P 500 company isn't expected to grow earnings by 20% per year over the next five years. In the end, if Tripadvisor fails to address a large swath of the market opportunity through either Instant Bookings or its next venture -- Attractions -- the stock could fall precipitously.
So there you have it: over the next five years, Tripadvisor qualifies as a medium-level risk company. The greatest of those risks come from the potential for frayed relations with Priceline or Expedia. Keep your eye on those relationships, and you'll be watching what will likely matter the most over the next half-decade.

8 of 10. A gripping storyline, excellent characters, and some unexpected twists. Not quite as good as I wanted it to be, but still worth reading.
My favorite kind of fantasy is normally urban fantasy – the kind where magic occurs in the real, normal world. For me, it's usually far more interesting to watch how a completely ordinary person deals with magic when it starts happening in their decidedly non-magical life.
Impossible is just that kind of book and is perhaps more focused than any book I can remember reading on the mental dichotomy such circumstances would create for a person.
Lucy Scarborough is seventeen and has been raised by a charming set of foster parents (Leo and Soledad) since her mother is certifiably crazy and has been since Lucy's birth. Since passing her off to Leo and Soledad, Lucy's mother, Miranda, has been living on the streets, appearing in Lucy's life every few months or years and then disappearing just as suddenly. The only real thing she's ever gotten from her mother is a song – the popular Scarborough Fair folk tune – which describes a woman cursed to complete three impossible tasks.
Lucy discovers that it's not just a song, but a song about her family. Generations ago, her ancestor spurned the Elfin Knight's advances and he set her these three impossible tasks listed in the song (make a seamless shirt without needles, find an acre of land with sea on both sides, and then plow the acre with only a goat horn and plant it with a single piece of corn). If she didn't complete them, she'll go mad upon the birth of her daughter and the tasks will fall to the daughter.
No Scarborough woman has succeeded though, most recently with Miranda who obviously has fallen mad, and when Lucy finds herself pregnant also, she doesn't dare not take this curse seriously. If she can accomplish these seemingly impossible tasks before her daughter is born, she can break the curse and save herself and her daughter from the fate of their ancestors.
Lucy has a few things on her side, most notably her foster parents who, although a little skeptical, are willing to take any measures to help her complete these tasks, and Zach, the boy who grew up next door to Lucy and now is back from college for the summer and ready to give any assistance Lucy will let him offer.
Lucy is extremely likable and reacts much how I think many people would to such discoveries. On the one hand, her practical side is screaming how insane this whole thing is and that the best course of action is to just ignore it; on the other hand, how can you risk your life and sanity on the hope that it isn't real when so many things point to it being all too real? When you've watched your mother live for the last 18 years as a complete nut, how do you not take it seriously?
The third person narration lets you hear what many of the main characters are thinking and feeling about different developments in the storyline and I really enjoyed this. Sometimes it doesn't work that well, but for this story, a story that is so focused on the character development, it was perfect.
I really think the strongest part of this book is not the magical tasks or the curse, but the relationship between Zach and Lucy. It doesn't have the same sort of relationship drama that so many love stories have – there is no storming off or misunderstanding or sulky and hurt feelings. The curse provides the drama, so their relationship, growing from childhood friendship to love, gets to be the stabilizing factor in the story and that is both unusual and charming. At one point, when Zach is struggling with Lucy's pregnancy and she tells him to either be her friend or to just leave ("don't let the door hit you on the way out," she tells him), he doesn't slink off to think for a while about it. He steps right up to the plate and promises her he'll be the kind of friend she can depend on. And he does.
This book was well-written and easy to get into, but I found myself thinking occasionally that it wasn't quite as good as I wanted it to be. It was terrific, yes, but not mind-blowingly fantastic, if that makes sense.
Nancy Werlin is coming to the TLA conference later this month, so I'm excited to get to hear her speak. I'll definitely be looking for more of her books, since Impossible was an excellent read.
You know, I read her other book, The Rules of Survival, and I did not like it. Maybe it has made me biased against her stuff, but I had no interest in reading this one. Until your recommendation! Maybe I'll check it out.
I really like that kind of fantasy. Good review. Just enough detail to make me want to check it out. I can't seem to locate my library card (Tyler likes to swipe it through drawer openings, etc., as though he is swiping a credit card, so it could be anywhere), but I did check the hold list at the local library and there are only 9 holds! Only 9! Not 29! So maybe I can't wait around to read this one.
This sounds really good. I'm adding it to my list now!
See…I thought it was good, but not terrific! It felt like it didn't live up to its potential to me. But I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I love reading your reviews. I wish I could write book reviews as good as yours.
I've seen this around but I never realized it had such a cool premise. I want to read this now!
Have you read Enchanted Inc. by Shanna Swendson? It's great urban fantasy.

Q: Postgres tsearch performance on first query We are using a custom text search configuration for searching in german texts for a proper support of compound words.
The dictionary can be found here: http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist/tsearch/V2/ (ispell-german-compound.tar.gz).
The dicts got converted to UTF8 and I used the following script to add the configuration to the database:
DROP TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY IF EXISTS german_bon_ispell CASCADE;
DROP TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY IF EXISTS german_bon_stem CASCADE;

CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION german_bon (copy=german);

CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY german_bon_stem (
TEMPLATE = snowball,
  Language = german,
  StopWords = german
);

CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY german_bon_ispell (
TEMPLATE = ispell,
  dictfile = german,
  afffile = german,
  StopWords = german
);

ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION german_bon
  ALTER MAPPING FOR
    asciiword,word,numword,numhword,hword_asciipart,hword_part,hword_numpart
  WITH german_bon_ispell, german_bon_stem;

The dictionary itself works great, but on every new connection/session the first query using this configuration takes 1-2 secounds. Every following ~1-3ms.
This effect is also observable for the english dictionary, but not that drastic:
db=# \timing
Timing is on.

The only work-around I'm currently aware of is the use of persistent connections/connection pooling and we are using pgbouncer for that. But that introduces some other problems with out client (PHP>PDO>Doctrine) which looks like a caching issue.
Is there any way to reduce this "startup time"? It kind of looks like the configuration is loaded/created for each new connection what just doesn't seem reasonable.

A: It is known problem - loading ispell dictionary is slow (it is loaded every time when dictionary is used first time in session). One and good solution is session pooling. Other solution is using shared ispell dictionary - extension that was written by Tomas Vondra - shared_ispell, but I don't know how well some new version of PostgreSQL 9.2 and higher are supported - it is tested on 9.2. There can be problem with German language - it is tested with Czech lang.
Other possibility is using German snowball dictionary - it should be significantly faster - but the result can be worse. Remove german_bon_ispell from your fulltext configuration.

Has a New Fire Emblem Anime Been Revealed?
Fire Emblem has only seen one anime adaption in the years, having a two-part OVA in 1996, based on a small chunk of Marth's storyline. You can check it out on YouTube here.
But since then, despite having so many entries that would be perfect for an anime, Nintendo has kept the series in the shadows. It didn't help that the game was largely unknown up until the last 4 years, with the release of Awakening (2013).
Since then, the series has garnered many new fans and even a mobile game which, despite not having much news surrounding it, has a large fan-base and regulars who play the game.
And it is that mobile game, Fire Emblem Heroes, which has revealed not only new official character art - but also, a bit of good news regarding an anime series.
The art in question, is featured above - of Lucina's upgraded design with her wielding a spear, instead of the Falchion. At a normal glance, apart from her new design, there doesn't seem to be any hint of any thing.
But a Redditor on the Fire Emblem subreddit posted that they had flipped and translated the text on Lucina's spear, which is written in an ancient language used in Awakening.
Image taken from Reddit thread.
This image seems to be verified from a variety of Fire Emblem fans, and honestly, having the language translating to those exact letters can't be a coincidence. So if this does turn out to be true and Nintendo did plan for this - then kudos to them, because it was a heck of a clever way of doing it.
Even then, even if it is true, the problem then lies on whether it'll be a good adaption - as many adaptions of games are always used to capitalise on their trending popularity and end up being terrible. But that's a whole other issue.
What do you think? Do you believe in the rumours? Would an anime adaption intrigue those who watch - or don't anime?

More than a Stable
A grand edifice that had once been the stables of the Horogolla Walauwwa was transformed by Architect Geoffrey Bawa into a unique country home. The beautiful original building itself was the inspiration behind the alterations and expansion, while Bawa's characteristic touch and vision is undeniably evident in every aspect of the house.
Words Udeshi Amarasinghe
Photographs Menaka Aravinda and Mahesh Bandara
In many ways, the house is an extension of the garden. The geography of the land was key to Bawa's designs while the elements of time and history were very important as well. Stables as it is known is a historical building. While Sir Solomon Dias Bandaranaike utilised the building as a stable for his six horses, the rich design and architecture suggest that this could have been a house previously. It is assumed that this was Sir Solomon's grandfather's home. But after Sir Solomon was granted the title of Maha Mudaliyar a more stately house was required. Thus the Horogolla Walauwwa became the home for the family, and this particular building was converted to the stables.
The stables, a colonial building that reflects the British heritage of architecture in the country, was transformed into a contemporary country home while maintaining the appearance and the aesthetics of the original building. The current owner and her then husband Udaya Nanayakkara acquired the building and one acre property in1982. The building had been in a dilapidated condition and needed extensive renovations. Geoffrey Bawa had initially declined to to take on the project. However, after much coaxing, he visited the site and instantly saw the potential and agreed to accept.
Firstly, the boundary walls were built and treeswere planted around the periphery. This gave the time required for the plants to grow by the time the construction of the house was completed. Though this was a renovation and expansion of an already existing building, a foundation stone was laid as it was to be a home. And on April 1, 1983 work began on this expansive project. The original building had one large arched entrance and enclosures for the six horses.It was a single large space. Openings were introduced in the form of doors and windows. A deck made of seasoned timber separated this large space into the ground floor and upper gallery. The main sitting room is on the ground floor while the upper gallery provides additional seating areas, but functions mainly as a relaxing space to entertain guests. To maintain its identity as the stables, the name boards of the horses were kept, which enhanced the aesthetic feel of the main sitting room. Furthermore, Bawa wanted the floors to be of simple cement with a minimalist diamond design. Three bedrooms, (with attached bathrooms) including the master bedroom and the library, are within the original building. The floor of the library is quite different where a chequer board effect has been created by using large terra cotta tiles interspersed with cement squares.
Just like Bawa, the owner too wanted to maintain the colonial and rustic Sri Lankan feel of the property.
What is quite obvious from this property is that the owner and the architect both had similar taste in style and design that came together to create a timeless masterpiece. Just like Bawa, the owner too wanted to maintain the colonial and rustic Sri Lankan feel of the property. As such, all the material used for the construction were recycled material sourced from either the original building or demolished old stately homes—not only from the area but from all parts of the country. It was important that the timber was well-seasoned, to ensure that it did not warp and lose its strength. 'Sinhala Ulu' or Sinhala tiles were used for the roofs. It was well known at that time that the owner was seeking such material. Therefore, everyone would contact her when such material was available for purchase.
The property consists of two sections; the original stables and the new wing. These two sections form an L shape. While the roof of the stables consists of two layers, the roof of the new wing has three layers. By looking at the two sections, it is difficult to determine what is new and what is old, because each element has been expertly brought together to create the whole.
From the driveway, one first arrives at the portico and then proceeds through the main entrance. The walls of the passageway are lined with the scripts from sel lipi (ancient stone inscriptions). At either end of the verandah there is a circular opening, which provides a view beyond the walls. A characteristic of this property is that from any room one would be able to enjoy the greenery of the surroundings. Hence, all ground level bedrooms have their own private courtyards.
The new wing has one bedroom (with attached bathroom), dining area, pantry and open kitchen. The dining area is also in the verandah, where Bawa included a circular groove to accommodate the round table that the owner had purchased prior to designing the dining area. The most mesmerising aspect of the property is the well manicured lawns. Araliya trees (Temple trees) planted in selected areas of the garden create beautiful shadows depending on the time of day. And at dusk when the lights are on—especially at this time of the year, when all the leaves have fallen—the trees create an ambience of an European autumn! The walls of the property are covered with ivy and contrast beautifully with the white walls. Furthermore, in certain areas the wall cannot be seen due to the thick foliage, and in others plants are behind the wall so that only the flowers can be seen from the top.
A characteristic of this property is that from any room one would be able to enjoy the greenery of the surroundings.
The back garden originally had a five foot drop, which Bawa filled to create a dual elevation where a flight of steps made of ancient rocks takes you to the lowest level. The back wall of the drivers' quarters' separates the garden from the beautiful forest beyond. The owner had ensured that a one acre area remained as a pristine forest. At dusk when the lights are switched on, the massive trees shimmer in the light, and through the play of light the depth of the forest can be seen. In this garden, four Ehala trees create a somewhat formal area, where a stone table has been placed at the centre and the sandy ground forms a perfect square edged with old stone, cut into square or rectangular shapes.
The roof does not have any gutters. This had been something Bawa had insisted upon. The water falls onto a pebbled area and it is said that there were openings in the ground, to drain the rain water into the drainage system.
The main archway of the stables has a massive gate made of solid steel lances, which had once been used on the boundary walls. The gates are extremely heavy and impressive, and give a sense of prominence and awe. The garden pavilion (loggia) completes the property and has four beautifully crafted antique columns, doorway and half doors that the owner had secured on a journey down south.
The furnishing of the house is of impeccable taste. All pieces, may it be the furniture, ornaments or art all have history behind them. The main sitting room has comfortable cane furniture, similar to those of old colonial club houses. On one side a large white globe is the light shade and on the other a piece of art by Laki Senenayake, created using painted aluminium in the form of a large bo leaf made up of smaller leaves, cast beautiful shadows on the wall when the lights are switched on. Pettagam (a traditional Sri Lankan trunk or chest), antique cupboards, an exquisite writing table as well as Kawichchi have been placed in the main sitting room as well as the gallery. Ancient Jadi (pickled fish) jars have been placed to create an aesthetic ambience. The ornaments too are unique and include the vessel used for dying saffron robes with three brass globes introduced by the owner; antique printing molds with red madatiya seeds to give colour and ancient stone with metal figurines are few of the many artifacts that adorn the house. These have all been carefully handpicked by the owner.
The furnishing of the house is of impeccable taste. All pieces, may it be the furniture, ornaments or art, all have history behind them.
The house that started its transformation in 1983 saw completion after four and a half years on November 25, 1987. It had taken this long as each element for the house had to be carefully picked and sourced. It was definitely a labour of love.
At the Stables in Horogolla —the country home of Sunethra Bandaranaike—time stands still. The quiet calmness of the environment is soothing where the house is part of the landscape. This is characteristic of Geoffrey Bawa, where his architecture has always been "in and of the landscape". This has never been as true as at the Stables.

5-Hydroxytryptophan, better known as 5-HTP, is a natural supplement that claims to control appetite, improve insomnia, relieve headaches, and boost and balance mood. But what exactly is this strange-sounding substance and does it really deliver on its promises?
5-HTP is a naturally occurring amino acid used by the human body to make serotonin, the neuro-transmitter known as the 'happy hormone' that appears to play a key role in sleep, moods, pain control, inflammation and other bodily functions. 5-HTP is manufactured by the body from l-tryptophan, an amino acid found in most dietary proteins. However, eating l-tryptophan-containing foods does not significantly raise 5-HTP levels. The 5-HTP used in supplements is derived from the seeds of the West African medicinal plant, Griffonia simplicifolia.
Scientific studies suggest that 5-HTP may be beneficial for a range of different conditions, particularly those linked to serotonin imbalance and dysfunction such as depression, fibromyalgia and migraines. It acts by boosting levels of serotonin within the central nervous system (CNS) as well as other neurotransmitters and CNS chemicals such as melatonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. This action allows 5-HTP to have significant effects on brain chemistry and on serotonin-related conditions.
Depression. 5-HTP can markedly improve symptoms of depression, according to several clinical trials. In one involving 36 patients with diagnosed depression, 5-HTP (100 mg three times a day) was tested against the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) fluvoxamine (150 mg three times a day) for six weeks. The results showed that both treatment groups had significant and nearly equal reductions in depression beginning at week two and continuing through to week six. By week four, 15 of the 36 patients (42 per cent) treated with 5-HTP, and 18 of the 33 patients (55 per cent) treated with fluvoxamine had improved by at least 50 per cent, according to a standard depression rating scale. By the end of the study, the two groups had nearly equal numbers showing 50-per-cent improvement, but there were more treatment failures in the fluvoxamine group (Altern Med Rev, 1998; 3: 271-80). 5-HTP at a dose of 200-300 mg/day might also be useful for treating depressive symptoms in patients with bipolar disorder (J Affect Disord, 1980; 2: 137-46; Acta Psychiatr Scand Suppl, 1981; 290: 191-201).
Fibromyalgia. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 50 patients with this chronic pain condition, 100 mg of 5-HTP three times a day for a month led to significant improvements in all of the symptoms studied, including pain, tender points, morning stiffness, sleep disturbances, anxiety and fatigue (J Int Med Res, 1990; 18: 201-9). A longer-term (90-day) trial by the same researchers reported similar findings (J Int Med Res, 1992; 20: 182-9).
Migraines and headaches. 5-HTP appears to be effective for the prevention of chronic headaches of various types, including migraines, tension headaches and headaches in children (Altern Med Rev, 1998; 3: 271-80). In a study of 124 patients, 5-HTP was pitted against methysergide, one of the more commonly used migraine drugs. After six months, a significant improvement was observed in 75 per cent of the patients treated with methysergide and in 71 per cent of the cases treated with 5-HTP. However, 5-HTP was more successful at reducing the intensity and duration of migraine attacks rather than their frequency, the researchers said (Eur Neurol, 1986; 25: 327-9). Nonetheless, another study of 48 elementary and junior-high-school students found that treatment with 5-HTP (4.5 mg/kg/ day) resulted in a 70-per-cent decrease in headache frequency compared with an 11-per-cent decrease with a placebo (Drugs Exp Clin Res, 1987; 13: 425-33).
Insomnia. Some studies suggest that 5-HTP might be helpful for sleep disorders such as insomnia. Giving 600 mg in divided doses to healthy participants was found to increase the amount of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, an indication of improvement in sleep quality. A smaller dose might be better, however, as higher doses could cause nightmares, according to anecdotal reports. A study using a 200-mg dose of 5-HTP showed that even this amount can increase REM sleep, albeit not as much as did the larger dose (Altern Med Rev, 1998; 3: 271-80).
Obesity. 5-HTP is often found in weight-loss supplements with claims that it can curb appetite and help to shed the pounds. There is some evidence to support this, including three trials in obese patients showing reduced food intakes and subsequent weight loss with 5-HTP supplementation (Altern Med Rev, 1998; 3: 271-80). In one double-blind trial, 20 obese patients were randomly assigned to receive either 900 mg/day of 5-HTP or a placebo for two consecutive six-week periods. No diet was prescribed during the first period, and a diet restricted to 5040 kJ/day was recommended for the second six-week period. The researchers reported significant weight loss in the 5-HTP group for both periods, as well as a reduction in carbohydrate intake and a "consistent presence of early satiety". The downside was that 80-per-cent of those taking 5-HTP experienced nausea; this, however, was not severe enough to cause anyone to drop out, and it diminished over the course of the study (J Clin Nutr 1992; 56: 863-7).
Side-effects of 5-HTP are generally mild, and may include nausea, heartburn, gas, feelings of fullness and rumbling gastrointestinal sensations in some people. At high doses, however, it is possible that serotonin syndrome-having too much serotonin in the body-could develop. This might also arise if the supplement is taken in combination with an antidepressant drug such as an SSRI, although no specific reports of such drug interactions have been published so far (Altern Med Rev, 1998; 3: 271-80).
Another concern is that 5-HTP could lead to eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS), a serious condition resulting in extreme muscle tenderness, muscle pain and blood abnormalities (Adv Exp Med Biol, 1999; 467: 461-8). However, there is evidence to show that EMS was due to a contaminant in early 5-HTP supplements, before the introduction of the current, more stringent, manufacturing practices (J Rheumatol, 1994; 21: 2261-5).
5-HTP is showing promise in a number of chronic conditions, and may well prove to be a useful alternative to drugs such as SSRIs and migraine preventers. However, the studies so far are small, and there appears to be a lack of more recent research on the supplement. There are also some question marks surrounding safe dosages and manufacturing standards.
If you do wish to try 5-HTP, make sure you do so under the supervision of a medical professional.


Eric Fink, Cheshire Home's former Assistant Director of Dietary Services, officially retired on April 29th, after 24 years of cooking and serving thousands upon thousands of meals! Each day as residents proceeded through their days of care, therapy and employment or school activities, and as staff worked in their various departments, Eric was busy in the kitchen, cooking, creating menus, and together with Director Marco Cieri, planning parties. Lunchtime would find him at the serving table, offering meals to each resident and staff member as they came through the line.
He also created the graphic menu displays for breakfast, lunch and dinner, featuring each day's meal options with a bit of his own flair. And through the years Eric clearly showed how much he cared about each resident. He has promised to come back and join us to celebrate the special occasions he always helped to organize, and in the meanwhile we will say "Congratulations, Eric and thank you for each and every one of those meals!"

Wyko name is set to disappear by Spring
One of the best-known names in the British industrial scene, Wyko, will disappear next Spring, when it adopts the name of its Dutch owner, Eriks, which bought Wyko for £139m last November.
Eriks says that the combined organisation is now the industrial equipment distribution market-leader in Western and Central Europe, with sales worth €850m and nearly 4,500 members of staff – almost half of them coming from the Wyko acqusition. The UK now represents about 40% of Eriks' business.
Eriks' managing director in the Netherlands Rein Groot (above) believes that there is potential for the UK operation to grow by about 25% a year – well above the 10–15% growth target for the group as a whole. This will be achieved by a combination of acquisitions and expanding the business into areas where Eriks is already strong, but Wyko has traditionally had limited involvement. For example, he sees potential to expand Wyko's OEM activities, alongside its traditional MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) business.
There are also many items among Erik's product portfolio of more than 500,000 lines, which Wyko has not sold before. "Wyko has a limited range of products compared to Eriks," says Groot. "There is scope for growth."
His aim is to place Wyko among the top three companies in each of eight core activities including: electrical and mechanical engineering services; power transmissions; tools and maintenance products; sealing technology; and industrial plastics.
In its first UK acquisition since Wyko, Eriks recently bought the bespoke hose and fittings supplier, Flexible Hose Supplies, for an undisclosed sum. FHS, with three UK sites, employs 45 people and has annual sales worth £5.1m.
Earlier this month, Eriks launched a new UK division, Eriks Sealing Technology, which combines Wyko's seals business with Eriks' own seals activities. At present, the new operation has around 4% of the UK's fragmented seals market, but the aim is to boost this to 10% by 2010 – representing a turnover of some £25m. To help reach this goal, Eriks is investing an initial £500,000 in a sealing technology centre in Warrington, and plans to double the new division's staff to around 80 people.
Groot says that further UK acquisitions are likely. The company has already earmarked five possible targets in the sealing sector alone.
The change in name from Wyko to Eriks will be accompanied by a substantial publicity campaign under the banner "the Big Plus". All of Wyko's service centres and workshops will be re-designed and re-branded by the time the name change occurs in March.

The best way to deal with a campaign crisis? Avoid it in the first place. With that in mind, we preach and practice political problem prevention.
Because Mark Weaver teaches law school courses in Election Law and Media Law, he knows the ethics and legal pitfalls that await unwary campaigns. And with careful counsel and thoughtful planning, he helps clients steer clear of them.
Mr. Weaver's experience representing judges and judicial candidates who've been unfairly accused of misconduct by their opponent informs the work he does as he tries to help all candidates avoid such problems. Whether it's issues surrounding a state Elections Commission, the Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Elections Commission or the changing standards of defamation and copyright law, it's crucial that a campaign work with consultants who are sensitive to, and up to date on, the issues raised by these compliance issues.
Some political tactics attract lawsuits and draw ethics complaints. Others win elections without legal liability. Smart consultants know the difference. And smart campaigns want consultants who know the difference. We don't mind helping you weather a political crisis. We've done it hundreds of times before. We'd just prefer to help you avoid one.
Are you ready to protect yourself from election lawsuits and better understand campaign finance laws?

At the heart of the Japanese Alps is Hakuba, a popular ski resort only three hours' drive from downtown Tokyo. Hakuba is among the largest skiing resorts in Japan, incorporating multiple resorts and ski areas.
It played host to the 1998 Winter Olympics as part of the Nagano prefecture, and some of the facilities are still in use, including the Hakuba Ski Jumping Stadium and the Hakuba Olympic Village Memorial Hall.
With a variety of après ski activities, Hakuba is a fun place off the slopes as well. There are a number of good restaurants serving both Western and Asian cuisine, and many hotels have relaxing hot spring baths. The main nightlife area in Hakuba is in Echoland.
Hakuba is also a popular summer resort and is a good place for outdoor activities like hiking, mountain biking, paragliding, rock climbing, and whitewater rafting. Day tours to Matsumoto Castle are a popular excursion.
Averaging 36 feet (11m) of snow per year, Hakuba is known for its reliable winter weather. The resort has more than 200 runs with a wide variety of difficulty, offering ample skiing options for beginner, intermediate, and advanced skiers. Over 100 ski lifts and five gondolas operate daily throughout the season, which runs from December to April, and night skiing is available until 10pm.
Although Hakuba has all the souvenir shops and gift stores and convenience stores that tourists might need for basic holiday shopping, it is not an impressive destination for big brands or fashion shopping and even the ski equipment shops are not exactly up-to-date with fashionable gear. Visitors should therefore not expect exciting shopping sprees, but will be able to enjoy some local crafts and produce and find some lovely souvenirs.
There are well over a hundred restaurants in the Hakuba Valley with plenty of traditional Japanese cuisine to sample and lots of international varieties as well. The best areas to seek out good food and ambience are Wadano Village, Echoland, and the area around Hakuba Station.
There are some upmarket restaurants for a tasty splurge or romantic evening but also plenty of wonderful budget eateries where visitors can enjoy simple and tasty Japanese food, international pub grub, and other Western favourites.
Hakuba boasts that it has the best après ski drinks scene and nightlife of all the ski resorts in Japan and there are indeed many bars, pubs and watering holes to choose from. The resorts in the area attract a young crowd as well as families and the atmosphere in the evening is often very festive and sociable. Those in search of a good party will probably find one. Echoland, Wadano, Happo, and Goryu all have numerous bars.
For some extra fun in the snow visitors can try cross country skiing (on the Winter Olympic course), snowshoe tours through the scenic valley, and snow rafting. There is also a lot to see and do in Hakuba for those who need a break from the slopes. Popular excursions include trips to Matsumoto Castle, Nagano's Zenkoji Temple, and tours to see the Japanese snow monkeys at the Jigokudani hot springs which is an absolute must for animal lovers.
With so many options, the ski slopes can be a bit overwhelming and it may be difficult to find your way around in the beginning.

Procedure Options: Then and Now
Hair surgery, like any technology, has evolved dramatically from its origins 50 years ago. For the first three decades, large plugs were the only option. The late 1970s brought about scalp reduction, which faded from prominence by the early 1990s. It still remains an important skill in repair surgery. It is during the last 15 years, though that perhaps the most significant evolution has occurred: the development of small, natural graft technology. Micro/Minigrafting was the first step forward from plugs. It uses single hair grafts (micrografts) and mini grafts, which were a fraction of the size of the old 30 hair plugs. The next technical development was follicular unit grafting, and then more recently multi-follicular-unit grafting.
What Has Changed in Hair Loss Treatment Compared to the Past?
Better surgery and better medication. Hair restoration surgery has evolved the ability to give results that are natural, but also thicker than ever before. This means that not only do you look like you never had transplants; you can also get a thicker result faster. With effective medications, most patients can also stop getting balder.
What Are "plugs"?
When hair transplants were first done 15 or more years ago, large cylinder-shaped grafts with up to 30 hairs in them were taken from the donor scalp and put into round holes in the thinning areas. When they grew, they gave a coarser, less natural look than the original hair. Modern transplants use grafts as small as a single hair and duplicate the appearance of the un-grafted hair.
What Is a Scalp Reduction (a.K.a. Alopecia Reduction)?
This is a procedure where an area on the top of the scalp is removed and the scalp from the sides pulled up and closed together. Originally developed to remove areas that were bald or thin, it has been largely replaced by transplants. It remains an important surgical skill in some patients, particularly those needing repair surgery like scar removal or revision.
What Is a "flap"?
It is a surgical procedure where a long strip or flap of hair-bearing scalp is raised up from the back and sides of the donor area, turned, and surgically put down into the area of loss, usually the hairline. The flap remains attached to the original scalp in the temple so it continues to receive blood flow. There are only a very small number of men who would want this procedure or are good candidates for it. Dr. Elliott does not perform flap surgery but has helped many patients who have needed correction of some aspect of the flap.
We Have Talked About Scalp Reduction, and I Realize That Transplants Are Usually the First Option. Are There Different Types?
Yes, there are. The two major surgical approaches in modern hair restoration are follicular unit transplants (FUT) and FUT in combination with multi-follicular-unit grafting (MFUG). Each has advantages and disadvantages and some patients will be better candidates for one approach or the other. In addition, there is now another option for donor harvesting; Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), for situations where strip harvesting is not possible or desired. Dr. Elliott is an expert in all these approaches and will be able to advise you on which best suits your goals and hair and skin type.

The Hidden Truth About Children and Medical Malpractice
By Miller Kory Rowe LLPSeptember 12, 2017 No Comments
Home » The Hidden Truth About Children and Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice can lead to serious injuries and, in some instances, victims can die at the hands of a negligent doctor or surgeon. But when medical malpractice involves children, it is even more devastating, because they are among the most vulnerable when it comes to the health care system.
According to a recent survey, 20 percent of pediatricians will face a medical malpractice claim at least once in their career, and ten percent of pediatricians in residency will face a malpractice claim.
In fact, pediatricians rank fourth among all physician specialties when it comes to the average settlement amount resulting from a malpractice claim. This makes it clear that medical malpractice claims related to children are an issue that should worry parents and anyone else who has custody or guardianship over children.
There are some common malpractice claims related to children that are important to understand, so that parents whose kids are undergoing medical issues can be aware of some of the things that could go wrong in the treatment of their loved ones.
Childbirth Injuries Are a Common Type of Medical Malpractice
In theory, there are many things that can go awry during childbirth, which is why delivery doctors do their utmost to ensure the safety of both the mother and the newborn.
But, despite that level of careful preparation, childbirth injuries occur, and they can include:
Fractures – the bones of a newborn are very fragile, so any wrong move during delivery can cause a fracture.
Spinal Cord Injuries – in some instances, newborns can suffer spinal cord injuries as they are being pulled out of the womb.
Brain Damage – there have been cases in which an umbilical cord has wrapped around a baby's throat, preventing the newborn from breathing. Prolonged loss of breath during birth can lead to permanent brain damage or death.
Surgical errors are another type of medical malpractice claim involving children.
In many instances, this is related to a high-risk surgery that often leads to complications that can injure a child and affect them for a long time.
Some common types of surgical errors that can cause serious injuries to children include:
Wrong Area Incision – surgeons may open an incision in the wrong area of a child's body, causing complications and injuries.
Wrong Site Surgery – although it isn't as common with children, wrong site surgery occurs when a surgeon operates on the wrong area of a patient's body, or operates on the wrong organ.
Leaving Surgical Instruments In the Body – surgeons may also harm children by failing to remove surgical instruments and surgical tools from inside that child's body after the surgery is complete. Any foreign object left inside a patient's body can cause internal bleeding.
Anesthesia Errors – anesthesia is always a concern during surgery, and too much or too little anesthesia administered during a procedure can cause a child too feel excruciating pain, or cause a child to fall into a coma.
Nerve Injuries – surgery on certain organs or certain parts of the body can be fraught with complications due to the abundance of nerves in that area. If a surgeon accidentally severs or damages a vital nerve, it can cause serious and permanent injuries to a child.
It's important to remember that children are more vulnerable than adults to these types of surgical errors, because their bodies are not fully developed.
Medical Diagnosis Errors
The most common medical diagnosis error involving children is the failure of pediatricians to correctly identify the symptoms of meningitis.
Although meningitis is a serious disease, early detection allows doctors to provide successful treatment.
But meningitis that is misdiagnosed can lead to inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord, and can lead to brain damage, hearing loss and learning disabilities, which are permanent injuries that will adversely affect a child's future
The reason that pediatricians so often misdiagnose meningitis is that the disease's symptoms – such as fever, vomiting, and muscle pain, headache and exhaustion – are similar to symptoms of a normal flu.
There are some differences, however, because meningitis also causes rashes, a stiff neck, convulsions and seizures, and drowsiness. But because all of these symptoms may not appear at the outset of meningitis, the disease is easy to misdiagnose as the flu.
Doctors that prescribe the wrong medication, the wrong dosage or fail to account for a child's allergies when taking a medication can cause that child to suffer serious adverse reactions to a drug that can be life-threatening.
Medication errors are especially dangerous with newborns and toddlers, because they have not yet developed the immune system that can help fight off the adverse health effects that the wrong medication can cause within their bodies.
What You Can Do To Prevent Medical Malpractice Involving Children
Parents and caretakers of children can help prevent medical malpractice involving children by taking certain steps, including:
To Prevent Medication Errors – provide pediatricians with all known allergies your child may have, and ask the pediatrician if the medication prescribed has any adverse interactions with other drugs your child may be taking. Also, doublecheck the dosage and the side effects of each drug.
To Prevent Misdiagnosis – ask pediatricians to run tests for illnesses or diseases that mimic what the pediatrician has diagnosed, just to rule out those ailments.
To Prevent Surgical Errors – on the day of the procedure, go over the exact nature of the surgery, and ensure that you and your surgeon are on the same page.
Legal Help With Malpractice Claims
Medical malpractice claims are often emotional cases, and that is especially true when children are involved. The idea that the doctors we entrust with healing us can behave negligently or with carelessness violates the basic belief many have in the health care system. These are sensitive and complex cases, best handled by an experienced personal injury firm, such as the team at Miller Kory Rowe LLP. Please call us at 602-648-4045 for a free legal consultation.

In a world of over-designed goods, Mjolk, (which is Swedish for milk) is a local gallery and lifestyle store operated by husband and wife team John and Juli Baker that features simple design. Located in the Junction neighbourhood the space offers the perfect balance of Japanese and Scandinavian products that reflect the art of living craft.
Mjolk recently held first time solo Canadian exhibitions by Kazumi Tsuji and Tomi Takashi, which showcased their modern interpretations of traditional artifacts. Kazumi Tsuji explores the contemporary aspects of Kiriko glasses. The pieces are created using a Japanese technique of layering paper-thin coloured glass over a clear base, allowing Tsuji to cut patterns into the surface to reveal the contrasting tones underneath.
Meanwhile, Tomi Takashi is a Japanese artisan that is taking the thousand-year-old tradition of wood carving into a modern aesthetic. His work ranges in designs from bowls to platters, which exhibit clean forms that are contrasted by the soft tool marks he leaves behind. The impressions tell the story of a crafted, hand-made piece that creates a simple connection and signature within the utensils.

Thank you for the details. I have always wanted to "sink" my machine in a table like my mother's old Singer. It is so much more comfortable for sewing anything, not just for FMQ. This will be a ibg help for my not-so-handy hubby and his even less-so assistant.
I bet you'll do fine. Remember good enough is perfect.
The problem is getting the hole cut out perfectly. I'd be afraid that I'd ruin the table! Looks great!
Hubby cut slightly small and then worked out from there. This was a free table, as it was destined for someone's trash so we had nothing to lose and I think we gained a bunch!
I forgot about that part! I put thick felt feet under the table legs, since I knew I'd be sliding the table around sometimes. Probably helps with the vibration factor too.
Wonderful! My DH found a harvest table on CL for $30, and brought it home. He cut out the opening and actually did a suspended shelf to hold up my machine using really long carriage bolts that he hung from the top down. With rounded edges, it doesn't affect the table top at all, but the nice thing is I can vacuum underneath easily. This was particular important as my cords, on/off switch, etc ended up UNDER the table. So I plugged in to a plug that works off a switch, and its PERFECT. Makes such a difference when quilting, doesn't it?
Definitely going to give this a try!!! May take the metal top off of a Army issue desk and put a wooden top on it then cover the wood with Formica... You goy my mental 'cogs' a working! Thanks!
You could have used some gesso or primer on the press board before painting to seal off any varnish left behind.I would have used an automotive brillo pad (flat and rectangular ) made for scuffing auto paint in prep for new paint.
Love the table! This was the answer we were looking for. My husband decided to take the idea of carriage bolts one step further. He used all thread and the mounting plates (used to attach furniture legs) He then suspended the bottom piece of wood on the all thread using nuts and washers, and we were able to easily level each of the four corners individually. Using this idea, we did not have to drill holes through the table.
That's great! A good surface for quilting is so wonderful.
Hi. I would really like to see pictures of what you did here just so I am totally clear on what was done. Being a handy person, I think I could accomplish this if I could see it. Thanks so much and happy sewing!!
We are getting ready to move so I figure this is the perfect time to set myself up with a quilting studio! Have been looking online and was kind of discouraged because the ready-mades arelimsy or pricey or too small to be much use for quilting. This plan is great! Thanks so much! Will start looking for a freeby table online tonight!
A great table is such a help. I hope you find a good one.
Love this idea!! Am currently weighing options for a better set-up myself. How did you determine how far from the front edge the sewing machine needed to be? In other words, when you are sitting in front of the machine, how did you determine how far away from you the machine needed to be?
I wanted as much room between me and the machine as I could get to support the quilt without straining my arms but I also wanted to make sure I could still use the knee lift bar.
I am VERY new to FMQ. I made a slot-in table for my machine, got a gas lift chair given to m and set the foot pedal up on a higher box. A table like this would be much better but no spare tables where I live (remote Australia). What does the knee lift do/lift?
A knee lift is a feature on certain sewing machines. It allows you to raise the presser foot with your knee, leaving both hands free to manipulate your project.
My DH and I used a large executive desk. We cut out the front middle and suspended the cut out piece with large L brackets. We set my machine on that piece of board. I was lucky enough to have a plexiglass piece that fit flush on top of the desk and around my machine. The bonus!! Side drawers for my sewing tools.
Wonderful share!! Years ago my hubby made a cabinet for me from a bed room dresser I no longer used by eliminating the middle drawers. Used similar method for the drop-down sewing machine your hubby used. This gave me three drawers on each side. I don't know what he would have done for the knee lift. Your hubby's idea is a good one. At that time, sewing machines didn't have a knew lift like my newer machine. Might make one for my Janome if I can get hubby to cooperate. Thanks loads.
What is the ideal height of table to convert to a sewing table?
I think the height is relative to your chair, especially if it's a non-adjustable chair. The important thing is ergonomically, you want your forearms at a 90 degree angle to your body and parallel to the table's surface as you quilt. For a reference, my table is 30 inches high. I've seen folks sew at counter-top high tables by using a tall chair and placing the foot pedal on a platform.
I had mine custom made for a quarter of the cost of the fancy store bought ones. And they fit my space. For what a K...., one costs, I got cabinets, shelves, drawers and an air lift. Outfitted my whole room!
Amy, instead of my "Supreme Slider" I now use "silicon spray" and for touch ups my silicon cloth that is used for my weapons. If you have ever sewn your slider in one of your quilts or got stuck in the hole for the needle......the spray is awesome. Love the table, your honey does good work!
my son used and old sewing machine cabinet and did the same thing put a shelf to hold the machine using long threaded bolts to hold and I cut and old cutting mat to cover the hole a bit better works great and storage too.
That's nice. My Brother CS6000i Sewing Machine came with an extension table.
