Arthur Winfield Knight's Chapbook: CHAMPAGNE DAWNS."
A Review of Arthur Winfield Knight's Chapbook: CHAMPAGNE DAWNS."
by L. E. Bryan
In his opening poem, "A Simple Life," Arthur Winfield Knight conveys an easy eloquence that threads its way throughout his latest chapbook, "Champagne Dawns." His poetry transforms rituals and routine pleasures of everyday life such as walking his dog, Happy Hour at a local bar, or his wife bringing him coffee in bed into an equally relaxed and unadorned reality. Within that reality he also includes interweaving themes of love, desire and devotion. Knight welcomes the reader with understated words into an intimate world of joy and pain he shares with his wife and writing partner, Kit. Like scenery in a play, Knight's poetry is set against a West of the past and theever-changing West of today.
He evokes pain with casual lines in the poem, "FEBRUARY 1st, 12:01 A.M.":"Thirty-eight years ago,/you were hit by a car/on a rainy January night./The doctors gave you a two percent chance/
to live."
His poem, "ON THE ROAD, begins with a graphic leap into lust with the lines, "We don't make love/in Las Vegas,/ although I'm always hot on the road," and halfway through the poem, "I have a hard-on/and the beginning/of a headache."
Knight ends his chapbook by returning to its title, expressing love and devotion in the opening lines,
"I open a bottle of champagne/shortly before dawn./Kit and I drink it/from lead crystal glasses/as we watch the dark fade to amethyst." He then closes both the poem and the book with acute observation: "Everything is different/but not much changes."
Born in San Francisco, December 29, 1937, Arthur Winfield Knight grew up in Petaluma, California. He graduated from Santa Rosa Junior College with an A.A. Degree in 1958. While at San Francisco State College he received a B.A. in English in 1960, and an M.A. in Creative Writing in 1962. He taught English at University of Pennsylvania from 1966 to 1993. He also taught at San Francisco State University and has written for various California newspapers. On August 25, 19776, he married Kate Duell. They have a daughter.
Knight and his wife co-wrote, "A Marriage of Poets,"published in 1984. In his Western poetry chapbooks like, "Wanted!/Basically Tender," "Outlaws," and "Prairie Village, KS," his novels, "Blue Skies Falling," "Darkness Starts Up Where You Stand," and "The Secret Life Of Jesse James," also a nonfiction book titled "The Beat Vision," as well as, his only play, "King Of The Beatniks," Knight incorporates not only the West of today and yesterday, but, as its chronicler, the literary sensibilities of The Beat Movement, which had its Post-WW II beginnings during what was called the San Francisco Renaissance, and included writers such as Kenneth Rexroth, Jack Spicer, and Michael McClure.
Knight is currently adjunct professor at the University of San Francisco. He lives in Yerington, Nevada.

Ghosts and Whispers by Krikor Der Hohannesian
Ghosts and Whispers
Krikor Der Hohannesian
Finishing Line Press
"...From the refuge
of America, it is left to you
to hold those birthplaces with
strange names, to pass on the tales
of those whose histories survive
only as faces in grainy sepia or a gold
ring engraved with a name, a date..."
A long time coming, 'Ghosts and Whispers,' is the culmination of many years
of publishing in various magazines; his poems are now in one book; this
chapbook by Krikor graces our minds with his profound implications,
poetry written from those hidden places, brought to light, they dare line
dance across the pages. The poems are cohesive, interspersed recollections
and historical truths:
"...With no forewarning
it sneaks through a side door
in any number of disguises
a nod
a sidelong look
weighty silences
and yes, sometimes,
even a smile
wry at the edges,
sly in the knowing."
Der Hohannesian manages the present tense with the past tense in ways
that captures the readers attention and preserves recognition. The poems
impart, "the honed stick is transformed-bone white, smooth as a sliver" he
regales us with portraits of people and place:
with the ghosts of melancholy
that lurked in dark, dusty niches?
with lies that lay hidden
like a smoldering peat bog?
with a thirst for what was lost
hanging like beads of fog on the skin"
with the weight of the unspeakable,
the grief which you could not lift?
These tears I shed,
that fall on your headstones
under the weeping willow,
these tears are for you.

Michelle Hoover writes a tale of two women.
Interview with Doug Holder
Michelle Hoover is a petite woman but her writing is anything but diminutive. In her critically acclaimed novel "The Quickening" she writes of the friendship of two farm women during the early part of last century. These women and their significant others speak plainly, but the subtext of what they say is loaded. Hoover, who was born in Iowa and from a long line of farmers, captures the hardscrabble life of these straight-no-chaser women. Hoover currently teaches at Boston University and Grub Street in Boston, Mass. I spoke with Hoover on my Somerville Community Access TV: "Poet to Poet: Writer to Writer."
Doug Holder: Your first novel "The Quickening" was a huge success. You ever worry that your second book might not measure up to your first—you know the sophomore jinx?
Michelle Hoover: I do. You want to do something different. It's hard. I am excited about my new book—but certain aspects of it will be totally different from the first. I think the next book has a lot of promise though.
DH: What is the next book about?
MH: It is about two of my great aunts who disappeared from the family right after WW II. They were quite young. They were never heard from again.
DH: Like poetry, every word counts in your writing. With an economy of words you write a very evocative novel.
MH: I am a terrible poet. I grew up in a family where simple language was preferred. When I took my GRE to get into grad. school my vocabulary was got the lowest score. So I had to work on that. This stripped down language works with these two ladies in "The Quickening." I wanted it something like the landscape—very plain and flat. Gertrude Stein wanted her sentences to evoke a certain message and so do I.
DH: "The Quickening" sounds authentic. How much research did you put into this--to get it just right?
MH: My grandmother's journal that I used was only 15 pages long. In the beginning of the book one of the ladies, Mary, almost kills her husband Frank by feeding him chicken when he was sick. And that really happened. But that was only a few sentences in a long book. For instance, pigs are slaughtered in the novel. Now I never slaughtered a pig, but my uncles told me how it was done. My family gets together every February in Arizona and tells stories and sings songs- all that kind of stuff. They are a bunch of old farmers. That's how I got the story right, by getting all these oral histories from my family. I wanted to get personal stories which were the basis of my research. I did historical research but I found it went against what I was doing.
DH: In the harsh and unforgiving lives that Enidina and Mary lived there was the church. The church offered a respite, the one place where these women would have the chance to address spiritual concerns, to transcend their day to day grind. However, the minister Borden had a major lapse in his ministry, as he was brought down to earth by the loneliness of his calling. Do you view religion as a front, offering the illusion of an afterlife for people with a very unsatisfying real life here on the material plain?
MH: I don't think religion is always a bad thing. A lot of my family is religious; I am more of an agnostic. I am suspicious of the self-righteousness that religion can take on. A sort of "I am better than you because I believe in God." Borden has a lapse. Bordon is human. Mary uses religion to prop herself up. I don't think it is bad that people have religion if it helps him. I don't like people who use their religion against other people.
DH: No one could accuse you of writing a Chick Lit. novel. There is nothing glib, or superficial about this work. Do you think you can reach a wide audience with these straight-no-chaser women?
MH: I would hope so. I was hoping to create a new woman heroine with Enidina. She is very different from me—big-boned and awkward. Mary is the more typical character you would find in Chick Lit. She has her own darkness too. But both of these women are very stoic, no navel-gazing—the type that if they have problems they would keep it to themselves. I admire this but I can see how it can be harmful.
DH: You said in an interview that your characters are like the landscape. Don't we all take on characteristics of the landscape?
MH: I think so. I am part of my characters' landscape. I find the farmland of the Midwest beautiful—other people may not.

Interview with Spoken Word Artist Lauren Whitehead
By Doug Holder
Spoken word artist Lauren Whitehead will be a featured guest for Somerville's acclaimed, youth-targeted Books of Hope Project on April 14th 7PM at the Main Branch of the Somerville Public Library (79 Highland Ave.) She will conduct a reading and a workshop that deals with performance poetry and the new generation of poets commanding the stage! This event will include an open mic,refreshments,is free, and open to the public.
Lauren Whitehead is a University of Michigan graduate and multi-time U-M U-Club Poetry Slam Champion. She is a founding member of Ann Arbor Wordworks, has been featured on National Public Radio and in HBO's Brave New Voices documentary series, has worked as a mentor for young writers at Youthspeaks in San Francisco, and has toured the country as a member of Robert Redford's Speak Green poetry squad.
I interviewed Ms. Whitehead--and here is what she had to say:
You are a performance poet--Doesn't every poet give a performance of sorts when she or he reads?
You might be right. There is a performance in all of it, right? The reading, the slam, the open mic, right? But I think the main difference between what you're describing -a poetry reading- and what I am (and other performance poets are) doing is that we are working for, banking on and in need of participation from our audience in order for the thing to work. And so, what is perhaps quiet/reserved/tame at a reading is intentionally stirred by the performance poet to create noise/community/excitement in the folks we are performing for. It's much more of a give and take, and it involves the body in a way that a podium, perhaps, doesn't always allow for.
What do you plan to tell the kids are the elements of a good poetry performance?
I will tell them that the best poems are honest poems, are poems where we can tell something is at stake, are the ones that are more confession than fact, the ones that are urgent, are waiting to be written and said and heard. I will tell them that reaching their best performance is really only possible if they reach toward their best and bravest writing.
We know a lot of poetry sounds good on the stage--but how about the page?
I think this is a dichotomy that some poetry god must have a ton of fun stirring up over and over. The truth is I think good performance poets are, at base, good poets and that means on the page, on the stage and everywhere in between. One of my Poet Mentors Jeff Kass says that poetry is about playing with sound. Some poets do that by the sound of the voices that in their heads, others need to say it out loud to really hear it. I fall into the latter category, but we're all poets just the same.
Can you tell us about the Youth Speaks program that you were involved with?
Youth Speaks is a literary arts organization in San Francisco that, in short, seeks to change the perception of youth by offering them the tools they can use to speak their own truth to power. So, we (and I say we because even though I'm not there, I'll never be gone) offer young people writing workshops and performance opportunities so that they might have a chance to say what they feel without being measured against a standard - we believe the standard is yourself and without being told you are wrong - in our workshops there are no wrong answers. I think the goal is a safe space for self expression in whatever form in comes in. And young folks want that. It's clear.
Youth Speaks also programs Brave New Voices, and international youth poetry festival that connects young people from all over the country who are interested in performance, poetry and community. It's really a beautiful place. www.youthspeaks.org see for yourself.
I know from experience that poetry can make changes in the lives of people, especially kids. Any anecdotes?
I have so many moments in my short life of young people -and old people come to think of it- who have found some part of their selves in a poem. On any given day at the YS office. I remember one kid, Dominic, who is now a student at UW Madison. He used to just come to my workshop because his friend was coming, and he would never write and when he did, he certainly wouldn't share. But the group was forgiving and patient and welcoming, really. So he came every Wednesday, or whatever, until one day, before the workshop started he said to me, "I think I wrote something last night off that prompt you gave us before, can I read it." And that initial share, that first sound, really transformed him. He believed he could say it now, he believed he had something to say, and it's really quite beautiful to see as it's happening.

IMAGINING THE SELF, Poems by Laverne Frith
Review of IMAGINING THE SELF, Poems by Laverne Frith, Cherry Grove Collections, an imprint of WordTech Communications, PO Box 541106, Cincinnati, Ohio 45254-1106, www.cherry-grove.com, $18, available on Amazon.com, 88 pages, 2011
Review by Barbara Bialick
Laverne Frith, of Sacramento, California, is the husband of poet Carol Frith, who has also been reviewed on these pages. He is co-editor of "Ekphrasis", a journal of ekphrastic poems, each of which focuses on a single work of art. He's also a monthly poetry columnist for "Senior Magazine", among other accolades to be mentioned later.
Many of the poems in this book rest on abstract ideas and images of life experiences writing poetry about art and about poetry itself. To read the poems is to define them, such as in the following examples:
In "Why Poetry?" he writes "I rather think we challenge/imagination, capability/that we drive the mind/into fields of metaphorical/horrors and joys/that there is something/redemptive about process,,,"
He even defines his own self this way as in "Exhibit Me in a Well-Lit Window (after 'The Thinker' by Rodin)": "as exotically as I command/in my musings/flaunt my patina/changeable as a chameleon's/…reveal the unfulfilled/dream/in my hidden eyes."
And further delving into the mystery of the arts in "The Hotel Window" (after Edward Hopper)": "pure loneliness…/something she sits and endures each time anew,/relearning the bitter lessons of regret…"
As Judy Halebsky says on the back of the book, "Frith reads our emotional lives through the natural world and captures moments of insight…The poems…are in equal measure brave and gentle, facing up to the imperfections in our lives and finding in them points of illumination…."
Frith has also published chapbooks from Talent House, White Heron Press, and Finishing Line Press and a photography and poetry chapbook from Rattlesnake Press. He is a Grand Prize winner two times in the Artists Embassy International Dancing Poetry competitions. He and his wife wrote "Practical Poetry—A Guide for Poets."

Stanmore is a vibrant, family orientated, Bible-based church. People from various backgrounds and nationalities attend here. You are most welcome! Our focus is to nurture everyone to have a living, personal relationship with God.
Firstly, the church built in 1898, has been around for 120 years! Its pulpit is more than 100 years old and for music lovers, the pipe organ is a must see! Dating back to the late 1800s, it is one of the oldest organs in Australia, giving it national significance. Part of its casework even dates back to the early 1700s!
Click on pics below to view full version.
Stanmore Seventh-Day Adventist Church was officially opened and dedicated on Sunday 24th April 1898. Read the church historical sketch.
You can read more about the historic pipe organ on the Organ Historical Trust website.
Activities are organised throughout the year for all age groups – to strengthen faith, encourage each other, and help us increase our knowledge of God's truth. Social activities are also planned so we can get to know each other and have fun together. You are most welcome to join in.
The dress code on Saturdays is smart casual. Some people dress formally but you are welcome to come dressed in what you feel comfortable. Bibles are available if you do not have one.
We hope you have an enjoyable and uplifting experience! Please contact us if you have any questions.
What I enjoy about Stanmore is the friendship, fellowship, fantastic music, physical & spiritual food. I have been attending this church since 1972. It has been 45 years!! My favourite memory is the day I got married in this church.
Geoff's passion lies in developing ways of enticing people to look into the Bible story, and then leading them to accept Jesus as their Saviour. He began his ministry in 1967. To this end he has mentored pastors and lay people all over Australia, giving guidance and practical instruction on how to lead the local church and share the Bible in their own communities.
Early in his ministry Geoff had the privilege of undertaking a 3-month study tour of the Middle East and visiting archaeological sites that have Biblical significance. This was an invaluable asset when he lectured on how the Biblical records can be substantiated, and the trustworthiness of God's Word.
Along with inspiring people to follow the Bible, Geoff has contributed to developing the Daniel & Revelation series, the Search series, and more recently, he was a presenter on the Beyond series. He was also the speaker for Jesus 2000.
Geoff is now the Pastor at Stanmore Seventh-day Adventist Church. We invite you to come and hear his lively, in-depth, Bible based messages.


On his death in 1189, the nobles of Anjou, Maine and Touraine refused to recognize John of England, and did homage to Arthur, who declared himself the vassal of Philip Augustus.
On Talleyrand now fell the disagreeable task of entertaining at his new mansion at Valencay, in Touraine, the Spanish princes virtually kidnapped at Bayonne by the emperor.
He therefore set himself up in rivalry with John Lackland, youngest son of Henry II., and supported by Philip Augustus of France, and aided by William des Roches, seneschal of Anjou, he managed to enter Angers (18th of April 1199) and there have himself recognized as count of the three countships of Anjou, Maine and Touraine, for which he did homage to the king of France.
Formed a menagerie at Plessis les Tours in Touraine, which after his death was re-established at the Louvre in Paris and enlarged by collections obtained in North Africa.
A truce for two years was made on the 26th of October 1206 by which John renounced all claims in Normandy, Maine, Brittany, Touraine and Anjou, but it did not last six months.
Beginning with the older castles of Touraine, and passing onward to the Tuileries, we trace the passage from the medieval fortress to the modern pleasure-house, and note how architecture obeyed the special demands of that new phenomenon of Renaissance civilization, the court.
Three years later, with the help of his brother, Louis of Orleans, duke of Touraine, he threw off the tutelage of his uncles, whom he replaced by Bureau de la Riviere and others among his father's counsellors, nicknamed by the royal princes the marmousets because of their humble origin.
The two elder sons of Charles VI., Louis, duke of Guienne, and John, duke of Touraine, died in 1415 and 1417, and Charles, count of Ponthieu, became heir apparent.
She was married as a child to John, duke of Touraine, second son of Charles VI., king of France, who on the death of his elder brother Louis became dauphin.
John of Touraine died in April 1417, and two months afterwards Jacoba lost her father.
Besides his grandfathers Anglo-Norman inheritance, he had received from his father Geoffrey the counties of Anjou and Touraine, and the predominance in the valley of the Lower Loire.
Only Guienne and southern Aquitaine held Touraine out for King John, partly because they preferred a weak and distant master to such a strenuous and OU~ grasping prince as King Philip, partly because they were far more alien in blood and language to their French neighbors than were Normans or Angevins.

8 Why Choose Reflections Center?
Grow your own thicker hair1, so that the results that you see are completely natural and very long-lasting. So that you never have to feel embarrassed or self-conscious about covering up thin hair or a bald spot again. Instead, we're going to grow new, thicker hair, and it's going to be your own hair.
Your hairline will be completely natural – because we're not transplanting in new hair, your hair should return in all the normal places, for a natural result.
There is no downtime with PRP for hair loss, or any of the other treatment options we offer. This means you won't need to make plans to hide your treatments from others while you recover after any procedure. Instead, these treatments fit easily into any schedule.
We typically recommend a combination of therapies for hair loss – some prescription medications and some treatments. Because our physicians have a deep understanding of the causes of hair loss and how to best treat them, we see patients not only grow new hair to replace what they had lost but prevent more hair loss or thinning in the future.
PRP injection therapy is incredibly effective for androgenic hair loss, or "male/female pattern hair loss," which is not caused by an underlying medical illness.
Reflections Center is dedicated to offering our patients natural-looking results using the latest scientifically-proven treatments. To understand the science of restoring hair, you need to first understand what causes hair loss. Once you understand what caused the hair to thin or stop growing altogether, then you can start to understand why some treatments will work, and others will not. To learn about the science behind hair thinning and hair loss, please visit our hair loss page.
PRP has been shown to cause hair to grow more densely and more thickly in numerous studies1,2,3,4,5. This makes it a superior treatment for thinning and balding hair. Hair grafting therapy removes hair from one area and spreads it out, to fill in empty patches, but this often means sparse, spread out hair shafts. In contrast, PRP injections help more hair fill in the thin or empty pockets.
Stem cell therapy is not the same thing as PRP, although many people are confusing the two. PRP contains the growth and healing building blocks from your own blood, distilled down for a concentrated effect. But stem cells are different. These are cells that haven't decided what type of cell they will be yet, and are therefore able to become any cell your body might need. You do have stem cells in your own body, even as an adult. They are most easily harnessed from the fat around your midsection using a process called Nanofat, but so far studies haven't proved these are effective for growing new hair. That may be something that we find out about in the near future, but for now, there is no scientific basis to claim that stem cell therapy works for hair restoration, and PRP injections aren't technically stem cell injections.
However, many studies have shown that PRP is very effective for both increasing hair thickness and for generating the growth of more hair1,2,3,4,5. That's why we're excited to offer our patients this ground-breaking treatment in both of our New Jersey offices, located in Livingston, and the Martinsville section of Bridgewater.
Platelet-Rich Plasma(PRP) harnesses the growth and healing factors from your own blood to help your body grow new, healthy cells. When injected into the scalp, it has been shown to grow thicker hair strands, as well as more active hair follicles for denser, thicker hair overall.
We find PRP works signficantly better when paired with ECM and/or Nanofat for injection, and when used as part of a multi-therapy approach (i.e. when the patient also uses medications and supplements to treat the underlying causes of hair loss, to ensure the new hair growth stimulated by the PRP injections doesn't fall prey to the same issues that caused the other hair follicles to die off, as well).
To learn more about how the science behind how PRP works, please visit our Platelet-Rich Plasma Page.
Every patient will need a series of PRP injections to see the best results for hair restoration and growth. Our pricing reflects our desire to see patients complete the full recommended series, so they can see the very best results. Typically, patients are recommended to undergo 6 treatments in their first year, so for those who commit to this plan, we offer a buy 5 get 1 free deal.
How many treatments will I need with PRP injection therapy for hair loss?
Typically, we recommend a series of 3 treatments, spaced 2-4 weeks apart twice in the first year, and then repeated as a 3 treatment series every year thereafter. This treatment plan acknowledges that in order to maintain results, patients will need to fight continued hair loss throughout the future, as well. We do offer great package-pricing discounts to help make this procedure more affordable.
When will I start to see results from my treatments?
Patients can expect to see results developing around 3 to 4 months after their first treatment, which should continue to improve for the next 1-2 years. Hair loss is often a progressive condition, meaning it worsens over time. So we do recommend patients come back to re-treat every 6-12 months, to combat any future hair loss.
After you and your cosmetic physician decide that PRP injections are the right treatment choice, the actual procedure will be very quick and easy. First, we'll draw some of your blood. Then, we'll use a specialized process to isolate and concentrate the growth and healing factors from your blood, creating the PRP. Finally, the doctor will inject the PRP into your scalp, using a very fine needle, to complete the treatment. The entire process takes about 30 minutes to complete – so it's something you can easily squeeze into your lunch break or on your way home after work.
Is there downtime? Will anyone be able to tell I've had this procedure?
There is no downtime or recovery period needed after your PRP injections. You may have some redness at the injection sites, just like with any injection. This is usually very temporary and subsides quickly. Patients don't typically need to take any special precautions or camouflage the area to maintain their privacy about the treatment, either.
Is this treatment safe for me and my skin type?
PRP injections make the most of your own body's natural ability to heal itself, so it's completely safe for all skin types and hair types.
Will I need anesthesia or numbing?
No, you won't need to have any anesthesia or numbing for this procedure. We do offer numbing options for all patients, but because this treatment is so quick and easy, it has not been something we've ever needed to use numbing for.
PRP extraction and re-injection require a series of needle pricks, but it is no worse than getting your blood drawn and Botox injections. We do everything we can to ensure our patients have the most comfortable experience possible and can provide anxiety-relieving options for those who feel uncomfortable with this procedure.
How can I make the most of my PRP injection therapy?
Choose a doctor who is experienced with PRP (i.e. performs these treatments frequently and regularly): There are some very important differences between a physician who has the top-of-the-line PRP concentration tools and the experience to effectively administer the injections and those that do not. You want to pick a physician with the right skills, tools, and experience to get you the best results possible.
Multi-Therapy Approach: Most patients do much better on some combination of PRP injections, ECM Injections, Nanofat therapy, prescription medications, and/or supplements. As the patient, it's your job to take your prescribed medications and schedule your treatments along the prescribed timeline, so that you get the very best results.
What alternative treatment options do I have?
PRP, or platelet rich plasma, comes from your own blood and helps the body heal from injuries while containing potent growth factors. In recent years, PRP therapy has been commonly used in medical aesthetics for the regeneration of the skin and hair.
People who are looking for natural alternative treatments for skin revitalization as well as volume loss, scars, wrinkles and uneven texture are turning to PRP therapy. During your treatment, your surgeon will collect a few vials of blood from your arm which is then spun in the centrifuge to separate the plasma and platelet. This plasma rich platelet contains growth factors which is then re injected into the required areas of your body.
The many benefits of PRP therapy include tissue regeneration, collagen growth and speeding up the natural repair process of your skin. It can be used on your face, arms, decollette, back, scalp, neck, hands, legs and abdomen.
With so many people struggling with hair thinning and hair loss today, there are several options available to deal with this socially crippling concern. An experienced physician will understand the cause of your hair problems before offering a combination of treatments to deal with it. Typically, an experienced hair restoration center will offer you a combination of medication, laser hair restoration and stem cell hair restoration in addition to other treatments that not only stop your hair fall or thinning but also boost regrowth with a thicker and fuller mane.
One of the most advantageous treatments, when you wish to get a naturally thicker hair, is the PRP therapy. Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP injections together with microneedling activates the inactive hair follicles to grow new hair with a thicker diameter. This growth is completely natural since your own cells are used and no hair transplant is required with this hair restoration treatment. Stem cell restoration also offers results that are natural and long lasting with no downtime.
If you are facing hair thinning or hair loss, then PRP therapy together with microneedling has become a state-of-the-art tool for hair restoration. Various studies have shown that PRP hair restoration leads to the growth of hair that is denser and thicker. That is why it has become a superior treatment for hair that is thinning and balding. When the popular hair grafting method is used, it only leads to sparse hair that is spread out since it transplants hair to the empty patches.
PRP is Platelet-rich plasma that uses the healing and growth factors from your own blood in order to grow new and healthy cells. When it is injected into your scalp, it leads to the growth of more active hair follicles and thicker hair strands. Another advantage is that your hair will return naturally to all the areas of the head, giving you natural results. When you consult experienced PRP hair restoration physicians, they mostly combine your restoration with prescription medication that prevents hair thinning or loss in combination with the new hair growth. There is no downtime with this procedure, so you do not have to hide your treatment during the recovery period or take time off work. The beneficial PRP hair restoration seamlessly fits into your lifestyle and schedule.
How can I regrow hair?
Today, a large number of men and women are struggling with hair thinning and hair loss. Not everybody is suffering from this due to aging, however, since for most it is genetic androgenic hair loss, which is also called male/ female pattern hair loss. Most experienced cosmetic physicians use a combination of procedures like PRP microneedling or medication regimens to help you with non-surgical hair restoration.
PRP is an effective method for non-surgical hair restoration with which you grow your own thicker hair. This means your results are natural and long-lasting wherein your hair will experience normal, natural growth. There is no downtime with this method, which means you do not have to take time off of work or school. PRP is one non-surgical hair restoration treatment that leads to dense and thick hair growth, and this makes it a beneficial treatment for hair showing the beginning signs of thinning or loss.
Hair grafting transfers hair follicles from an area with sufficient hair, like the back of the scalp, to empty patches in the balding area. PRP injections, on the other hand, help natural hair regrow in the thinning areas or in the empty pockets. A combination of these treatments is a great option for both increasing the thickness of hair and for generating more hair. You will need a series of PRP injections to see optimal results from the therapy and usually, it is recommended that you undergo 6 treatment sessions spread out throughout the year. You will see your results within 3 to 4 months after their first session and this keeps improving over the next year or two.
Another non-surgical hair restoration method is stem cell therapy. These stem cells are usually collected from the fat around your abdomen and can be effective in hair regrowth. Since hair loss is a progressive condition, it is advised to re-treat the condition once or twice a year to maintain your results and prevent any future hair loss.
PRP hair loss treatment can improve hair growth for about 4 to 6 weeks and requires multiple treatment sessions, as often as monthly. When PRP is combined with ECMs like BioD or ACell, the effects of the therapy are stronger and the results last longer as well. It can take about 6 to 12 months to visually judge the results of your PRP hair loss treatment. For this reason, dermatologists measure improvement in Hair Mass Index using devices like HairCheck. Measurements are taken every 3 months in order to track the plateau of your improvement. When the hair mass index begins to decline, your next PRP session will be planned. Usually, patients will require a PRP with ECM session annually to retain their results.
When you are undergoing PRP without ECM, it's recommended that you undergo about 6 treatment sessions which are spread throughout the year. With these continued sessions, you can see your results from the treatment within 3 to 4 months from the first session. Your results will keep getting better over the next year or two. Hair loss treatments offer optimal and longer lasting results when they are used in combination with each other. Your dermatologist will recommend the most suitable PRP hair loss combinations for you depending on several factors like the severity of your hair loss, whether it is hereditary, and the plateau phase of your improvement.
For instance, microneedling helps deliver PRP injections deeper into the scalp. PRP is a non-surgical hair loss treatment with no downtime that offers you natural hair regrowth and results that last longer than a surgical procedure.

Analysis of micrometastatic disease in sentinel lymph nodes from resectable colon cancer: Results of cancer and leukemia group B trial 80001

Purpose: To determine whether sentinel lymph node (LN) sampling (SLNS) could reduce the number of nodes required to characterize micrometastatic disease (MMD) in patients with potentially curable colon cancer. Patients and Methods: Cancer and Leukemia Group B 80001 was a study to determine whether SLNS could identify a subset of LNs that predicted the status of the nodal basin for resectable colon cancer and, therefore, could be extensively evaluated for the presence of micrometastases. Patients enrolled onto this study underwent SLNS after injection of 1% isosulfan blue, and both sentinel nodes (SNs) and non-SNs obtained during primary tumor resection were sectioned at multiple levels and stained using anti-carcinoembryonic antigen and anticytokeratin antibodies. Results: Using standard histopathology, SNs failed to predict the presence of nodal disease in 13 (54%) of 24 node-positive patients. Immunostains were performed for patients whose LNs were negative by standard histopathology. Depending on the immunohistochemical criteria used to assign LN positivity, SN examination resulted in either an unacceptably high false-positive rate (20%) or a low sensitivity for detection of MMD (40%). Conclusion: By examining both SNs and non-SNs, this multi-institutional study showed that SNs did not accurately predict the presence of either conventionally defined nodal metastases or MMD. As a result, SLNS is not a useful technique for the study of MMD in patients with colon cancer.

As of July, we can now call ourselves a big motorcycle club. We have over 41 active members and are still getting additional guests checking us out.
Pick up rides continue and several have netted new members just because our rides are interesting and enjoyable. We are a group of riders who love to ride and only stop because we've reached our destination or are hungry. We prefer to ride safe and within our limits. And, as a bonus, at the stops or destinations, there is a sharing of accumulated riding knowledge that is helpful and useful. We aren't "posers" who only cruise up and down a highway in a straight line. We actually know how to ride and often do long difficult rides because the challenge is what it's all about.
If you're a new member, don't assume that there's a clique or tight group of old timers. We're all new to the club as it was started only two years ago and we're all just getting to know each other.
We have very few rules…wear a helmet and don't bring guests under 25 years old. Other than that, we want you to enjoy the company of other riders and participate in the club as you have interest and time.
New member, Bob Robertson, took the pictures of the July 10th ride to Shoup. Let's hope he continues his amateur photography lessons. Great photos, Bob.
Guest, Wes Matson, discusses the fine art of riding fast but carefully with Ed Irwin.
If we see Wes again, check out the chrome on his Victory!
* If you plan to turn around or veer off the scheduled path, you need to let someone know so we don't worry about you when you don't show up at the next stop.
*The last bike in the group needs to be sure that everyone ahead is safe before passing and that the next person knows they are the last person or "sweep" bike.
*If you have an accident, don't be a hero…ask for help. We've all been there.
Monte, Larry, Snuffy, Brad, Bill and Rich all taking a breather in the shade at Shoup..
Monte claimed it was only a couple of steps into the Ghost Town…turns out it was about a mile on foot in full rain gear. Ooooph!

Joe Rice and Iva Gilmore have put out the first message regarding the August Retreads picnic. Seems we need to have everyone who's planning to go get in touch with them so we don't end up with 40 bags of chips and no real food (who says potato chips isn't a food?), The picnic is scheduled for August 28 at Fort Fizzle from 1-6 pm.
During the hot summer riding season, keeping cool is a tough problem. Bill Varien recommends two solutions. One, pick up Cool Ties at Wal-Mart and soak them in water and wrap 'em around your neck. The effect of evaporating water on your carotid artery brings relief. The other is to invest in one of the new water activated vests. It's filled up with about two pints of water and as the day wears on, the water evaporation can bring down body temperature by as much as 10 degrees.
And, constantly scan for possible hazards.
You never know…some idiot will look right at you and still pull into your path of travel.
that's what motorcycling is all about.

Ten Hag: 'I don't care' about Pep's derby plan
Rob DawsonCorrespondent
Erik ten Hag says he "doesn't care" about Pep Guardiola's tactical plan for the Manchester derby after the Manchester City manager suggested he has a "ridiculous" idea about how to win the game.
Guardiola has since claimed he was joking when he said he had "a few ideas, thoughts, ridiculous ones against United" but ahead of the match at Old Trafford on Saturday, Ten Hag insists he is ready for any surprises.
"I don't care about that, what he is thinking," said Ten Hag at a news conference on Friday.
"He did it more often and we are prepared for that, if he does different things. We have our principles, our rules of football."
Pep Guardiola came out on top in his first Premier League meeting with Erik ten Hag earlier this season. Manchester City/Manchester City FC via Getty Images
City have won the last three games against United by an aggregate score of 12-4, including a crushing 6-3 victory at the Etihad Stadium in October.
But since that defeat, United have won 15 of their last 18 games and Ten Hag believes his team are ready to go toe-to-toe with Guardiola's reigning champions.
"If you want to win trophies you have to compete with the best and City are the best, so we look forward to challenging them," said Ten Hag.
"We have good players but I am convinced our players are good enough to compete with all the players from Manchester City."
– Notebook: De Gea, Fred wait over new Man United contracts
United have added striker Wout Weghorst to their squad, although the Dutchman will not feature against City because the 30-year-old was not registered in time.
Weghorst joins back-up goalkeeper Jack Butland as the club's January signings so far and Ten Hag has hinted there might be others arriving before the deadline.
"If there are more opportunities we will be ready for that and looking for that but it has to be once again the right player," he said.
"With the numbers here I think with the signing of Wout and development of some players here Alejandro Garnacho is the best example but also you see in the week Kobbie Mainoo and Facundo Pellistri, I think also we have some good young players that can also fight for their minutes."

Is there a dream whispering your name?
When we persevere in our lives with the help of a gentle discipline, we slowly come to hear the still, small voice and to feel the delicate breeze of a dream, and so to come to know the presence of our life's intentions, and this is a moment when people say - ah yes…I understand now. It is the roadmap to your own heart.
What a magical moment when you wake up to where it is you are really heading, and you have the map and the compass to go with it.
Remember... where people turn back or give up on a dream is the birth place of regret.
If you really want to change in any fundamental way, discovering your life's intentions is a critical component because it keeps you moving forward when you get into the tight spots, the narrow cracks where we all get stuck.
Sometimes it's like being in quicksand, we flail around, often for years but we just get deeper into our "stuckness" and disfunction, because it's the wrong strategy.
You don't always need to TRY HARDER, sometimes the best strategy is to take a step back, take a breath and figure out some fundamentals again.
When you discover, understand and identify with your high level intentions ( your DNA) for what you wish to experience, you start to fall in love with something and that's the fuel you need to break through inertia and fear.
What are you highest intentions?
What is your DNA wanting you to do next?
If you don't know yet, when would be the right time to find out?
Feel free to leave a comment and share your dreams, even the ones you think might be impossible.
His process combines a skill set that balances self-awareness, emotional intelligence and courageous action sopeople can be deeply fulfilled, connected to others and be successful and committedtowhat matters most for them.


I love squash and enjoyed growing it in my garden for years. For now, because I'm working away from my garden, I get mine at the local farmers' market (locations in New Orleans).
This recipe is inspired by one of my and my son's heroes, Sidna Brower Mitchell, who is well known as a great cook and food writer but perhaps even more importantly as the unjustly maligned student editor of The Daily Mississippian on the Ole Miss campus when it was forceably integrated in 1961.
My recipe is an adaptation of hers, with a few extra ingredients. It's great in the summer when the produce is bountiful. It's also an easy veggie side dish throughout the year.
Cold weather just sets my soup-cooking emotions to stirring.
After a look into my post-Thanksgiving freezer, I realized I had a variety of frozen vegetables I'd like to do something with because I'm not going to make them individually just for myself.
That's when "soup!" came into my mind. I'll have some for myself and some to share with friends, which is why I make a big pot of it. It's also great to freeze in quart-size Ziplock bags for a no-trouble supper or lunch. Just add a salad or a toasted roll and you're in business.
My only word of advice is to refrain from adding the chicken until the soup's almost done. Otherwise, it will cook out all its juices and taste dry, even in the midst of the broth.
New in Nola's leader, Carlie, reported her first taste of Southern spoon bread recently and was curious about how it's made.
Carlie, you are in luck! I've discovered my great-grandmother's recipe amongst my collection from my mother and grandmother. It looks pretty easy, and I'm going to test it out for everybody. I could use a hand-mixer for this, but I suspect "Mummy" did not, so I'm going old-school with a wooden mixing spoon.
This is a great Southern alternative to potatoes or rice. It tops well with gravy or a dab of butter or nothing at all.
Pot roast is equal to mac & cheese when it comes to comfort food. Summer or winter, a succulent hunk of beef with carrots, onions and potatoes is just a gift from the food gods.
Not only is it great for company, it's a perfect weekend dish, which I prefer to braise in the oven over a couple of hours (which is why I make it on the weekends). Then, the leftovers are to-die-for, either reheated as the main dish or on an open-face sandwich with the gravy over the top.
Anyway you slice it, pot roast is delicious and hearty.
Perhaps no comfort food is more beloved than macaroni and cheese.
For years, I thought you could just make some pasta, throw on a little butter and cheese, run it into the oven and expect great results. Not really.
Now, here's a real creamy, golden crusted version with Bechamel sauce and a little Creole cayenne for pop. It warms well for leftovers, too.

Ex-Minn. Gov. Tim Pawlenty Ends White House Bid
BRIAN BAKSTAssociated Press
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty dropped out of the race for the GOP presidential nomination on Sunday, hours after finishing a disappointing third in the Iowa straw poll.
"I wish it would have been different. But obviously the pathway forward for me doesn't really exist so we are going to end the campaign," Pawlenty said on ABC's "This Week" from Iowa shortly after disclosing his plans in a private conference call with supporters.
The low-key Midwesterner and two-term governor had struggled to gain traction in a state he had said he must win and never caught fire nationally with a Republican electorate seemingly craving a charismatic, nonestablishment, rabble-rouser to go up against President Barack Obama.
Pawlenty tried to turn up the heat on Obama and his GOP rivals. But it often came across unnatural and he never was able stoked the passions of voters.
"What I brought forward, I thought, was a rational, established, credible, strong record of results, based on experience governing — a two-term governor of a blue state. But I think the audience, so to speak, was looking for something different," he said.
In recent weeks, he withered under the rise of tea party favorite Michele Bachmann, whose rallying cry is a sure-fire applause line about making Obama a one-term president, and libertarian-leaning Ron Paul, as well as the promise of Texas Gov. Rick Perry, the sharp-tongued Texan who entered the race Saturday.
"I thought I would have made a great president," Pawlenty said. "I do believe we're going to have a very good candidate who is going to beat Barack Obama."
He didn't immediately endorse a candidate.
Bachmann was quick to praise him, perhaps mindful of the need to broaden her appeal and reach his backers, who span the ideological spectrum.
"I wish him well," Bachmann said. "He brought a really important voice into the race and I am grateful that he was in. He was really a very good competitor."
The two-term ex-governor of a Democratic-leaning state was on Arizona Sen. John McCain's short list for the vice presidential spot in 2008. He had spent roughly two years laying the groundwork for his 2012 campaign and had hoped to become the alternative to the national front-runner, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
But this summer he unexpectedly found himself in a grudge match with Bachmann, the Minnesota congresswoman who shot to the top of polls in Iowa after getting into the race. Pawlenty struggled to raise money and connect with voters. He poured most of his cash and time into Iowa in the run up to Saturday's straw poll, a test of organizational strength and popularity in the state whose caucuses lead off the GOP nomination fight.
Pawlenty had acknowledged that he needed a strong finish in the straw poll to show momentum and quiet concerns that his campaign was faltering. He put it all on the line, spending the bulk of his campaign account on TV ads ahead of the contest and on a statewide tour of Iowa.
But Bachmann won with 4,823 votes, while Texas Rep. Paul got 4,671. Pawlenty received 2,293.
Pawlenty said his message "didn't get the kind of traction or lift that we needed and hoped for coming into the and out of the Ames straw poll. We needed to get some lift to continue on and to have a pathway forward. That didn't happen."
Even after the poll, Pawlenty suggested to supporters late Saturday night that he wasn't dropping out. He called the test vote here "an important first step on the road to the Republican nomination and, ultimately, the White House.
"This is a long process to restore America — we are just beginning, and I'm eager for the campaign."
Still, he said in a statement after the results were announced: "We have a lot more work to do."
Hours later, he reversed course in the face of a daunting challenge: convincing donors who were slow to give in the months leading up to the straw poll that he was still a viable candidate. Had he stayed in the race, he would have been competing for money in an expanded field as Perry, a prolific fundraiser with deep ties to the party's biggest donors, entered the race.
Said Pawlenty: "We weren't going to have the fuel to keep the car going down the road."
In Iowa, Pawlenty's exit means there's now an available contingent of top GOP staff and consultants, including former state party chairman, former advisers to President George W. Bush and senior advisers to Mike Huckabee's winning 2008 caucus campaign, including Sarah Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor's daughter. Top legislators who had signed on to Pawlenty's camp also now are free to rally behind other candidates.
It's not yet clear the size of the electorate Pawlenty frees up. GOP activists commonly praised his skill and background, but many were holding out until they met other candidates. This was an especially common reaction among a class of pro-business Republicans in Iowa.
On paper, Pawlenty, 50, seemed to have all the right ingredients as a candidate.
His blue-collar upbringing offered him a natural rapport with middle-class America. He governed as a fiscal hard-liner in a left-leaning state, winning his second term in a year when Republicans elsewhere got drubbed. He made inroads with the right crowds and assembled an all-star cast of advisers with loads of presidential campaign experience.
Pawlenty ran a traditional operation. In the lead-up to his campaign, he spread checks around to local politicians in key states through a political action committee while putting a heavy focus on small-scale events in places such as Iowa and New Hampshire.
But Pawlenty struggled to connect. He came off as bland and rehearsed next to more dynamic contenders. He languished in the polls. Perry's candidacy shoved Pawlenty further to the side.
His inability to stoke the passions of voters the way other candidates and even noncandidates have was evident.
"He said the right things, that we're going to limit the size of government and hold down spending," Sam Buck, a retired veteran from Winterset, said last week after hearing Pawlenty speak. "I like him ... but let's see what Perry of Texas does."
Pawlenty had been building momentum after a May campaign launch in which he framed himself as the one in the race willing to deliver the hard truths and confront public policy sacred cows. The climb screeched to a halt in a New Hampshire debate in early June, when he shied away from the chance to back up prior tough talk about Romney when they were face to face. It reinforced worries among some Republicans that he wouldn't be willing to take the fight to Obama as the nominee.
In that same debate, Bachmann declared herself a candidate and immediately cast a long shadow Pawlenty had trouble escaping.
Pawlenty tried for weeks to reel in Bachmann, questioning her accomplishments in office and framing her as a perpetual naysayer. In Thursday's debate, Pawlenty went even harder at her and said all of the major policies she proudly fought came to pass anyway.
"If that's your view of effective leadership with results, please stop because you're killing us," Pawlenty said to her.
That caused some Republicans to question whether he came on too strong.
Associated Press writers Thomas Beaumont in Des Moines, Iowa, and Philip Elliott in Ames, Iowa, contributed to this report.


Today my husband and I leave for another weekend out-of-town. It's my cousin's wedding on Saturday about three hours away so we decided it would just be easier to get a cabin and stay the night. Yesterday was also our wedding anniversary so we opted to celebrate by getting a cabin for Friday toot. It's crazy to think how much has changed in four years! Our son being born was a big one! We plan on doing some intense hiking again which the area is known for. As of this morning I lost another pound and a half so hopefully a weekend of hiking and probably some drinking at the wedding doesn't tamper with only being 5 1/2 pounds from my goal weight!!!!! It's always more work to go out-of-town when I'm on the program because I have to make sure I pack all my JC meals for the trip as well as a cooler so they don't go bad. I plan on grabbing Subway on the drive home Sunday because it's just fast and easy. You definitely should have some kind of meal plan when you go on trips so you don't overeat and eat out too much. It's a little more planning but it's worth it so you don't blow it and ruin everything you've worked for.

Ubisoft Is Offering Players Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China For Free In Honor Of Lunar New Year
By QuintLyn Bowers, News Editor February 10, 2021
Lunar New Year (or as some might think of it, Chinese New Year) is taking place this Friday (February 12). In honor of the annual event, Ubisoft is offering players a free copy of one of the Assassin's Creed spinoffs, Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China, for free. (You can see the theme here.)
Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China follows Shao Jun, a Chinese Assassin trained by Ezio, through 16th-century China. The game is inspired by Chinese ink paintings and offers a slightly different approach to gameplay. Of course, stealth is still the name of the game, but rather than diving into hay bales, players will hide in the shadows and distract enemies using firecrackers.
Since this freebie offering is in celebration of Lunar New Year, players will have a limited time to claim it. But, so long as they claim it from the Ubisoft store by February 15, it's theirs to keep. Of course, this does mean anyone who wants to grab the game will need an Ubisoft account.

Maramvyaj Camp for Displaced People
Action for a United World (Azione per un Mondo Unito - AMU) is an Italian NGO that runs development, training and education projects both in Italy and in developing countries. Founded in 1986, it is committed to sustainable cooperation by respecting the social, cultural, and economic local realities.
Action for a United World have started a new project for 350 displaced families in Burundi. Obtaining legal documents is the first step for these people to step out of the shadows and become fully-fledged citizens. Stefano C., is responsible for the project section of AMU. Recently he visited some of the main areas of Burundi that have been reached by their projects.
He recounts:
In the rural areas of Bujumbura, in the Commune of Mutimbuzi, there is a camp for displaced people called 'Maramvyaj' where one of our projects that provides assistance to families is underway. The displaced families have been forced to move twice in the course of a month, settling first in an area on the outskirts of Bujumbura - a swamp - then on land near the airport in the Commune of Butirere. The new settlement, however, is farther from the city and more difficult to reach.
When I arrived a session was being held beneath a large tent. A young woman was collecting personal information so that families and children could be registered in the Commune and have access to health and educational services.
This registration process is rather complicated because the people came under the authority of two previous communes. So each individual had to be checked again in order to see if they had been registered previously or not, and then changes made to their documents. This is all done manually and is therefore very tedious and time-consuming.
As for the water situation, there is only one public distribution point, with only one fountain, about half a kilometre from the settlement. The queues begin early in the morning at around three o'clock and go on for many hours. We spoke with the mayor and learned that a feasibility study is underway on a project for the entire north region of the city, which would provide adequate pipe diameter and flow rate, and a tank for collecting water right next to the area. However, while waiting for the project to be finished, we will examine other possible short-term solutions that will alleviate at least some of the difficulties faced by the local population in providing water for itself."
