Hall of Famers Joe Montana, 57, and Dan Marino, 52, will face off against each other one last time at Candlestick Park. One month before the 49ers kick off the preseason in Levi's Stadium, Marino and Montana will play a flag football game at The 'Stick July 12th.
Each team will feature former All-Stars, with Jerry Rice, Roger Craig and Dwight Clark suiting up for Montana's side.
Marino faced Montana at Candlestick only once in his career, in 1983 — Marino's rookie season. Marino and the Dolphins won 20-17 thanks to a fourth-quarter field goal from Uwe von Schamann. Montana got his revenge two years later in Super Bowl XIX, winning 38-16.
Marino's second trip to Candlestick came in 1992, when he lost to Steve Young's 49ers.

After news of mysterious death of a child in Madarasah at Badin published in media- RightsNow Pakistan legal officer (LO) Advocate Kaleem along with his team reached the scene and met with parents/relatives of the deceased boy and found the facts and communicated Hyderabad office and decision to file vakalatnama/power and to provide legal assistance was decided. Vakalatnama is by RightsNow Pakistan/Sindh Human Rights Defenders' name.
PPP Senator's support to affected family is highly appreciated. Legal support by till case is challaned. If bail of the accused filed then both Badin and Hyd team will be present to contest the case. Investigation Officer KBL investigating the case of the child and report of the doctor has also confirmed murder, not suicide.
Father of the murdered child has requested to include the name of one Asghar Ali (maternal uncle & assistant head of such madrasah).
There is pressure on the family of the child for withdraw the case and enter into the compromise.
RightsNow Pakistan and Sindh Human Rights Defenders team are following the case while Advocate Kaleem Legal Officer Badin is updating the SHRD group on daily basis.
RightsNow Pakistan & Sindh Human Rights Defenders demand action and investigation against increasing incidents of death which are being named as suicide however the available evidences show differently.
(1) Could you brief the main reasons that lead to the Darfur conflict ?
(2) Your comments on the warrants issued by ICC against the former Minister of State for the Interior, Ahmed Haroun, and a Janjaweed leader, Ali Kushayb, for crimes against humanity and war crimes?
As to your first question, the following is the list of issues causing the deterioration:
(1) Lack of institutions; that is, conflict resolution indigenous mechanisms were dissolved in Darfur.
(2) The Sudanese government thought that the conflict could only be handled militarily, an attitude that is entirely wrong.
(3) The signed Darfur Peace Agreement DPA in 2006 did not include all the military groups and therefore failed to achieve peace.
(4) The international community itself was not keen to solve the issue, they failed to contribute to the Government endeavors and to pressure the rebel groups as well to engage in peace-talks.
(5) The multiplicity of military factions, with all their diverse grievances and claims to be addressed has made it difficult for government to negotiate with all these groups.
(6) The size of Darfur is as huge as the size of France.
(7) Lack of candor and free exchange of ideas through democratic institutions and civil society activism.
(8) Lack of the required intellectual resources to cater for appropriate modern conflict resolution skills, with adequate appreciation of techniques of human rights advocacy and observance.
As to your second question, I can answer it briefly by saying that Under the customary international law, senior officials have immunity "ratione personae". The ICJ in 2002 held that Belgium has violated the immunity of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Congo. The ICJ further pointed out the mere issuance of the arrest warrant is a violation for the personal immunity accruing to the senior official under the international law. However, the ICJ has listed exception for its decision.
The result of recent referendum in favor of secession has conveyed the dissatification of Southern Sudanese with President Al-Bashir, policies of ruling party and rejection of Islamic rule (Sharia). Do you agree?
In post secession/refrendum scenario, given the volatile situation in the country do you think North and South Sudan could come to a conclusion about the contested issues of oil revenue, the region of Abyei and citizenship?
very nice attempt, thanx Ali to provide this opportunity, i intend to join this group.salahuddin panhwar

Published 07-14-15
Submitted by AMD
One year ago AMD announced its 25x20 initiative with the goal to achieve a 25x typical energy efficiency improvement of our APUs (Accelerated Processing Units) by 2020, from a 2014 baseline. Energy efficiency has long been a product design goal of AMD, and with the explosion of computing devices and capabilities over the last 20 years, AMD is on a path to focus on the energy and environmental footprint of computing. Energy efficiency is calculated as a ratio of work completed (i.e. performance) to how much energy is consumed completing that work.
The recently introduced 6th generation A-Series APU, formerly codenamed "Carrizo," for thin and light laptops is a great example of the company's commitment. Carrizo offers more than twice the typical-use energy efficiency of the previous "Kaveri" generation of AMD APU, and alongside superior computational performance offers more than twice the battery life. With superior graphics and long video playback, "Carrizo" delivers exceptional experiences never before seen in a mainstream notebook.
While AMD has more to accomplish, the energy efficiency of "Carrizo" puts the company ahead of the trend line needed to achieve 25x20! Future energy-efficiency gains will continue to stem from architecture, new circuit design, and power-management techniques. To learn more about "Carrizo's" contributions toward reaching 25x20, watch AMD's video or dive into technical details presented at ISSCC 2015.
Creating low-power products is not only good for AMD's business and customers, it is good for the environment. A year ago AMD made an important commitment to achieve specific goals across our products and have made significant progress with their 6th generation A-Series. The industry can expect continued improvements in the energy efficiency of AMD processors – APUs, CPUs and discrete GPUs – over the next several years as a result of design innovations embodied in the 25x20 initiative.
This press release contains forward-looking statements concerning Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the "Company"), including, the ability of the Company to continue to innovate in energy efficiency improvements at a rate that meet or exceed its 25X goal by 2020; the expectation that the bulk of energy-efficient gains will stem from architecture, new circuit design, and power-management techniques; the ability of the Company to continue to improve the energy efficiency of its processors over the next several years through its design innovations embodied in its 25x20 initiative; which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are commonly identified by words such as "would," "may," "expects," "believes," "plans," "intends," "projects," and other terms with similar meaning. Investors are cautioned that the forward-looking statements in this press release are based on current beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of this document and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Risks include that Intel Corporation's dominance of the microprocessor market and its aggressive business practices may limit AMD's ability to compete effectively; that AMD relies on GF to manufacture most of its microprocessor and APU products and certain of its GPU and semi-custom products. If GF is not able to satisfy its manufacturing requirements, AMD's business could be adversely impacted; that AMD relies on third parties to manufacture its products, and if they are unable to do so on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and using competitive technologies, AMD's business could be materially adversely affected; failure to achieve expected manufacturing yields for AMD's products could negatively impact its financial results; the success of its business is dependent upon its ability to introduce products on a timely basis with features and performance levels that provide value to its customers while supporting and coinciding with significant industry transitions; if AMD cannot generate sufficient revenue and operating cash flow or obtain external financing, it may face a cash shortfall and be unable to make all of its planned investments in research and development or other strategic investments; that AMD may not be able to successfully implement its business strategy to refocus its business to address markets beyond AMD's core PC market to high-growth adjacent markets; the completion and impact of the 2014 restructuring plan and its transformation initiatives could adversely affect AMD; global economic uncertainty may adversely impact AMD's business and operating results; AMD may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service its debt obligations or meet its working capital requirements; AMD has a substantial amount of indebtedness which could adversely affect its financial position and prevent it from implementing its strategy or fulfilling its contractual obligations; the agreements governing AMD's notes and its amended and restated senior secured asset based line of credit for a principal amount up to $500 million (Secured Revolving Line of Credit) impose restrictions on AMD that may adversely affect AMD's ability to operate its business; the markets in which AMD's products are sold are highly competitive; and the loss of a significant customer may have a material adverse effect on it. Investors are urged to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to AMD's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 2015.

Emma LOVES to pretend. We catch her pretending about 20 times every day. Her new favorite is to pretend "school." She pretends she is the teacher and she has a class of students. We're pretty sure she acts out what goes on during her real class at school.
One day I walked by the playroom and she was teaching class while she sat on the floor with her laptop.
Good hand position, don't you think?
What is this a picture of you ask? Emma asked daddy to take a picture of "Allison doing her work." (Allison is her imaginary friend.) So, daddy being the good daddy did what Emma asked and took a picture of Allison sitting in the chair.

IN DEVELOPMENT: EVERGREEN, a psychological thriller by award-winning filmmaker L. Marcus Williams.
EVERGREEN tells the heart-wrenching story of a suburban family who discover - along with the rest of the world - that their son is a suspected pedophile. Trapped within the walls of their home by the scrutiny of the media and judgement from their neighbors, the family struggles to maintain some sense of normalcy, as they cling to the desperate hope that their son might be innocent. But as the evidence against him mounts - culminating in a ghastly discovery - they are forced to confront a very disturbing possibility: That they themselves are responsible for what he has done.
IN DEVELOPMENT: A Fly on the 4th Wall will produce an adaptation of Kafka's THE METAMORPHOSIS, translated for the screen by writer/director L. Marcus Williams.
"As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from a restless dream, he found himself in his bed transformed into a monstrous bug." So begins THE METAMORPHOSIS, Franz Kafka's deeply disturbing, yet darkly comical allegory of mental illness, isolation, and stigmatization. Since its original publication over 100 years ago, it has inspired countless interpretations both artistic and psychological. And now you can see Kafka's timeless "bug piece" as it has never been seen before... In the spirit of German Expressionist silent cinema.
A nationwide search is underway for a missing girl and the unidentified man who took her, and 17-year-old Phoebe Evergreen recognizes a sketch of the suspect as her older brother Alexander. Meanwhile, her parents Will and Nora receive a phone call from state police, urging them to report to the station at once in regards to their estranged son.
Alexander returns home.
Will and Nora must decide whether or not the family should stand behind their son, and Phoebe uncovers a piece of incriminating evidence.
The FBI arrives to search the Evergreen home; Nora renounces her son for what he did, but Will blames himself.
Will discovers a shocking secret about his past.
As Will and Nora barricade their home against a storm of reporters, Phoebe's loyalty to her brother is tested when the true nature of his crimes is revealed.
Phoebe steps into the media spotlight with a desperate plea to her brother, as Will and Nora must defend themselves on national television.
Nora is haunted by memories of a traumatic childhood.
Neighborhood kids vandalize the Evergreen home; Nora blames Will for what their son did, and Will strikes back.
Phoebe admits a disturbing truth, and Will and Nora are forced to confront their own inner demons.
The Evergreens are visited by an unexpected guest.
As the manhunt for Alexander Evergreen comes to an end, Will and Nora find themselves mourning the loss of their son. Meanwhile, Phoebe struggles to obey her parents' command that she remain silent.

This 2020, your love life could be defined as a quiet river, especially if you're in a relationship. You'll have your partner's support, their generosity and even their constructive criticism, which will be very useful if you pay attention to it.
Your family will support you in your professional activities, they'll help you find a good work-life balance, but don't drift too far apart from them when you feel their support.
If you're single, you'll have to wait a few months before you meet someone who really fills you with illusion and brightens your days.
Your head is spinning right now, you imagine all the things you'll do once you have someone by your side, and the best thing is that the Magic Horoscope foresees that reality will exceed all of your expectations. One thing, though, patience is key: don't be overwhelmed if things don't go your way on the first go, Taurus.
Haven't you joined Magic Horoscope on Telegram yet? What are you waiting for? CLICK HERE and enjoy your horoscope for free every day!
The new year will be very important for Taurus, professionally speaking. You'll receive a new project that will fill you with ambition and, thanks to it, you'll invest your time and knowledge as you've never done before.

When it comes to money, you'll start the year full of willpower and purpose which will soon disappear. You'll go through hard financial times, so don't live beyond your means. Afterwards, you'll regret it, and you'll have to call up some relatives and beg them for a loan.
You'll be in good health all year long, and you'll have a plethora of skills to dissipate the worries that sometimes keep you up at night.
Learn to rest and to disconnect from the world; it will be good for you to leave your mobile phone at home from time to time, or to ignore your emails for a whole day.

Take a look at the beta version of dw.com. We're not done yet! Your opinion can help us make it better.
An internationally controlled zone inside northern Syria on its border with Turkey has been floated by Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer. It follows Turkey's bid to drive out Kurdish fighters and resettle refugees.
German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer told DW Monday she would discuss her plan on the sidelines of a NATO military alliance meeting in Brussels on Thursday and Friday.
The plan had been coordinated with Chancellor Angela Merkel and submitted to Western allies, she added.
"My recommendation is that we establish an internationally controlled security zone in cooperation with Turkey and Russia," said Kramp-Karrenbauer, who is also head of Merkel's Christian Democratic (CDU) party.
Read more: How stable is the northern Syria cease-fire?
"This security zone would seek to resume the fight against terror and against the 'Islamic State,' which has currently come to a standstill. It would also ensure that we stabilize the region so that rebuilding civilian life is once again possible, and so that those who have fled can also return voluntarily," said Kramp-Karrenbauer.
Erdogan, Putin in Sochi
Her plan comes after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sent troops on October 9 to drive Syrian Kurdish YPG fighters out of an area along the border to Turkey, just days after US President Donald Trump declared a pullout of US troops who were backing Kurdish forces holding Islamic State captives.
The United Nations has estimated that at least 160,000 residents have been uprooted since the start of the Turkish offensive.
Erdogan on Tuesday is due to attend talks in Sochi, Russia, with President Vladimir Putin, whose forces inside Syria back those of President Bashar Assad. Tuesday also marks the expiry of a five-day pause in northern Syria mediated last week during a visit to Ankara by US Vice President Mike Pence.
Kramp-Karrenbauer stressed the need for Europe to take action. "But we can't only talk about this. Europe cannot simply be an onlooker. We also have to come up with our own recommendations and initiate discussions," the defense minister said.
She added that Germany should use its position as a nonpermanent member of the UN Security Council to create a basis for the internationally controlled security zone on the basis of existing UN resolutions.
Turkey 'cannot occupy permanently'
This solution, she said, should make it clear that Turkey could not occupy the zone in northeastern Syria permanently — a stance contrary to international law, she told German news agency dpa on Monday.
"This is first of all a proposal that I am making as party leader and as defense minister, Kramp-Karrenbauer told DW in its interview with her marking her 100 days in office. "I know it is a proposal that is supported by many defense and foreign-policy experts in my party," she added.
"Before going public with this recommendation, I informed the chancellor. This will definitely be discussed within the government."
On Sunday, Foreign Minister Heiko Maas told German broadcaster ZDF television that Turkey's cross-border operation amounted to an "invasion" that was illegitimate under international law.
Earlier on Monday, CDU foreign policy expert Roderich Kiesewetter had suggested on public radio the creation of a humanitarian safe zone involving from 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers from EU nations, to be established in consultation with Turkey and Russia.

Once thought to be a disease that primarily affects only rich countries, today seventy percent of the 10 millions deaths caused by cancer each year occur in low-income countries, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)'s Director General Yukiya Amano.
SHOWS: LUSAKA, ZAMBIA (REUTERS) - As many African countries continue to record increasing cases of cancer, few are yet to offer affordable health care services.Zambia, opened its first and only specialized cancer treatment and radiotherapy centre in 2007. It offers free specialised treatment but is located in the capital, hundreds of miles away from many who cannot access it's services.
According to experts, Cancer is still not getting the attention it deserves. Many assume it's a disease of the wealthy world, where high-fat, processed-food diets, alcohol, smoking and sedentary lifestyles fuel tumor growth.
This year's World Cancer Day was marked on February 04. The UN's nuclear watchdog - International Atomic Energy Agency or IAEA, says a lot more still needs to be done to control cancer particularly in low and middle-income countries where majority of cancer-related deaths occur.
IAEA Director-General, Yukiya Amano, myths and misconceptions about cancer need to be dispelled.
"One of the most persistent myths about cancer is that it is a mainly a disease of wealthy countries. In fact around seventy percent of cancer deaths occur in Developing countries," said Amano.
Apart from fighting ignorance about the disease, lack of high-tech equipment, affordable drugs as well as trained oncologists is a major challenge for many African countries.
"It is estimated that there is a shortage of around five thousand radio machines in developing countries. If you see the map of the African continent we can identify many countries in which there is no singlecancer machine. That means that millions of people in Africa and elsewhere have no access to diagnostic services or treatment. Too many die of conditions that are actually treatable. This is an immense human tragedy," said Amano.
While many cancers are linked to lifestyle factors such as unhealthy diets and smoking, a large number - particularly in Africa - are caused by infections likes hepatitis B and C, which cause liver cancer, and the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes almost all cervical cancers.
If nationwide HPV vaccine campaigns could be introduced in Africa, health experts say, the effect on rates of death and disease could be dramatic
Researcher have also linked the development of cancer tumors to certain foods high in sugar, transfats and simple carbohydrates, and advise people to eat a low-glycemic diet that controls blood sugar and exercise regularly.

The city has grown so large and successful in large part because of its highly diversified economy, which combines real estate, retail, defense, communications, healthcare, and a variety of other thriving industries. AirFreight.com further enhances this successful economic mix through safe, expedient logistics. We provide a combination of chartered and scheduled air shipping services, allowing the city's many businesses to obtain supplies and ship out products with ease.
Having such a vast concentration of industries is both a blessing and a curse for Dallas. On the one hand, it provides a steady supply of jobs and wealth for the entire metropolitan population. On the other, it's a recipe for constant traffic congestion. To the extent that these businesses rely on ground shipping to obtain their supplies and deliver their products, they must constantly compete with the region's 7 million residents for use of the roads. This makes it harder for those who have to commute across the Dallas area, and it means that businesses have a more difficult time completing essential shipments on time. AirFreight.com takes pressure off commuters and companies alike by providing swift scheduled and chartered air services.

Like any war before or since, the First World War formed the catalyst for a wealth of technical inventions with only one goal in mind: to inflict as much damage on the opponent as possible. No one would have dreamed that as a result of these new technologies, the death tolls on all sides would be so high, nor would the physical destruction of the opposition have seemed possible.
In this new work, Wolfgang Fleischer has meticulously documented all the weaponry was used by the Central Powers and their opponents, including machine guns, artillery guns, gas, the first armored combat vehicles, aircraft and submarines.
About The Author
"Extensively illustrated, this is a very efficient review of the use and consequences of technology developed to achieve domination on land, including the part aircraft played in assisting land commanders."
"Highly recommended."
"The pictures in the book are incredible. They not only show a large amount of obscure armaments, but also allow us to glimpse the life of a soldier from a hundred years ago. The illustrations of bunkers, guns, and ammo teaches you how the war's nuts and bolts really worked… For those interested in the military technology of the First World War, this book is an instant buy. For those of us who are interested in obscure and sometimes one of a kind weapons this should also be on your shelf."

If a violation is found by the responding officer, a citation will be issued with a fine of up to $1,000 to the occupant and the owner of the short-term rental.


text: A fellow trader and my self have been playing with a simple system and would love the help of some people who could backtest this and tweak it a bit. It currently has a 60% + winning record. The trade: at 10M using 2 different futures accounts we take 2 positions in the ES. 1 long and 1 short. 2 point stops are placed on both positions (we have also tried 1.75). We also place a 4 point target on both. The goal is that sometime during the night or early AM one side will break out and continue in that direction. This of coarse results in the other side getting stopped out -2. The targets are one of the areas we want to play with. In the early trades we used a 4 point target and usually closed the trade near the mkt open. We have had some better success using a 5 point target and letting the trade run into the trading day a bit. There are those days that both sides get stopped out and there are days that you could have taken 8 points. I am in search of the perfect combination We have so far just tested this with 1 contract. I want to test this with 2 contracts with a target of 3 points on the 1st and around 5 points on the second. You can imagine the many options available. Example.. start trade at 11:30 PM use 1.75 stop? and 2.75 target on 1 st. contract and 4.5 on last contract. I also want to test this using a breakout method with only 1 account. Example.. at 10M lets say ES is at $900. we now would set a buy stop at $902 and a sell stop at $898.00 let the breakout choose long or short. We would of coarse be using a bracket set up with targets and stops in place but we would start out with only one leg in the breakout direction and not have the opposite side get stopped out every time. This trade works especially well when news or early morning earnings announcements might move the market strong in one direction. I hope the short explanation above will give any one interested in discussing or testing this a starting point. I trade using only IB and Sierra charting and have no way to backtest the different options that can be used on this trade. Lets have some fun with this ..... Nas

Are you unsure of what to include on your resume? If you haven't even looked at your resume in a few years, you may be at a loss for how to create a modern resume. Read on for tips and tricks that will impress your soon-to-be boss and get more details about business. Spoiler alert: You'll be (happily) surprised at how many resume "rules" have gone out the window!
1. Include links to relevant social media profiles. Odds are that the employer is going to Google you anyway, so you might as well be upfront about your social presence. Add links to any outlets you use for industry purposes, liked your LinkedIn profile or professional Twitter account. Worried about them coming across something not-so-flattering? Do yourself a favor and remove it before it becomes a problem.
2. Create a resume for robots, not humans. Most of the time, you'll be uploading your resume to a database. A lot of companies have software that will sift through and sort resumes for keywords. Pull words and phrases from the job description to make sure your resume lands in the virtual "yes" pile. You can create a second, more creative resume to hand out to people you meet.
3. If you have a LinkedIn profile, it may serve as your online resume. It may seem strange to add personal information to a professional resume, but by talking about how you run for charity or write a travel blog, you may connect with other professionals on a personal level, which improves networking.
4. Don't be afraid of being creative, especially if you're looking for a job in a creative industry. Have too much information to squeeze into a single page? Add an infographic. Feel like text isn't the best way to convey your skills? Make a five minute professional video, upload it to YouTube, and add the link to your resume. Thinking outside the box is perfectly fine, so long as you know that potential employers will appreciate it.
When in doubt, hire a professional resume writer or resume coach. This is especially helpful if you're switching careers or trying to get to the next level at your current place of employment. Make sure to talk with someone who has experience in your industry and with the current job market.

Wine Library
2014 Pinot Noir, Freestone Vineyards
Winemaker Notes The 2015 Pinot Noir opens with concentrated red fruit, floral notes and citrus peel followed by tangy spice, Bing cherry, juicy dark raspberry and dried herbs. A rich, opulent wine with sumptuous layers of blackberry jam, lavender and earthy forest floor throughout the palate to a lingering finish.
Winemaking Data Grapes were picked during the cool pre-dawn hours and sorted before being gravity fed to tank for a long natural fermentation using an overall average of 19% whole clusters in the final blend. Regular punch downs produced a finely textured wine with elegant structure and a distinctive Freestone spice character prevalent throughout this area of the western Sonoma Coast.
Vintage Notes The 2015 Sonoma Coast growing season experienced dry, mild winter and spring temperatures similar to the prior three growing seasons. Bud break was 3-4 weeks earlier than normal, followed by an early period of bloom. May temperatures were cool, but August and September were consistently warm, creating conditions for one of the earliest harvests on record. The early growing season resulted in extremely small clusters and berries with intense flavor and tannin structure. The early harvest allowed our winemaking team the ability to capture the natural acidity in the fruit with ideal sugar accumulation.
90 Points - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
This wine has a dark ruby color and a big, sweet kiss of strawberries, tart cherries and pomegranate as well as some loamy soil notes, followed by a juicy, medium-bodied mouthfeel and crisp, zesty finish. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. (Oct. 2016)
91 Points - Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast
Light and vibrantly high in integrated acidity, this wine is complex and savory but white pepper is a constant. Along the nuanced layers are an earthy patch of wild strawberry and cardamom that persists elegantly on the palate. (June 2017)
92 Points - Wine & Spirits
The Phelps Family was one of the first to bring Pinot Noir to the cool hills around Freestone, when they planted on the site of an old dairy farm in 1999 Those vines grew a 2014 that smells delicious, like bay leaves and crushed wild blackberries. The fruit has a spicy verve that holds out against the constricting grip of the oak - it's a powerful coastal Pinot Noir. (Apr. 2017)

text:
The rich burnt umber hue that dominates the rugged lines of this powerful dragon's form is interlaced with a more delicate smidge, strength underlined by titan's softening touch. The brilliant bronze that foreshadows the soft hide is eclipsed by the reddening highlights, crimson arches that denote the peak of each strongly delineated neckridge. Cascading copper sweeps in metallic veins ac ross the barren expanse of back, shifting into the rugged ridgeline that is his spine with an easy flow of color. The rusty overtones that stain the handsome length of limbs, as well as the capacious breadth of chest are warming to the othe rwise coldly spartan shape. Though husky in size, little whimsy has gone into the body. The talons are practically curved, spicular shapes shine a clever onyx against his bronzen form. The sails gleam in obscure shades of chestnut and dun, their utilitarian shape nonetheless massive in extension. The lithe length of tail is tipped in vermillion, set against the sharp copper that monopolizes the greater portion of the handsome frame. Echoed in the muscled haunches is the rosy color highlights, accentuating the dark bronze of his limbs. Even the artistically wedged head has not escaped the scarlet tips, the pragmatic shape ornamented only by a windblown sheer of harsh auburn along muzzle's velvet edge.
Egg Name and Description
Ancient Frozen Glacier Egg
Icy tendrils of blue are suspended over a myriad of diaphanous silver lines, making the mind wander instantly to the great sheets of ice at the poles. Rough protrusions speak of soaring; jagged mountans and valleys, all puctuated by the underscoring of the pale blue; glowing almost in the manner of the glaciers themselves, the blue itself underscored, cracked and marred by the lines of silver that speak of the pressure that has weathered and broken the ice under thousands of turns of constant force, appearing timeless and ancient to the eye. All of this is ever changing around the egg's entire surface, always slightly different no matter what angle one regards it, the only constant being that it appears never the same; quite hypnotic to the sight.
Hatching Message
The patriarchal shell that envelops Ancient Frozen Glacier Egg in wintry magnificence shudders, challenging the sands. I am ready, behold my illustriousness. Grandiose shards tumble haphazardly, crumbling from base to disintegrate into desert soil. The enemy that has imprisoned Rugged Lichen Bronze Hatchling no longer holds power, and he gives a trumpet of warbling victory.
Impression Message
Brandy's gossamer warmth spreads lethargic drowsiness through your limbs, the awareness of a unaccustomed counterpart joining you. The headiest of liquor's deluge pools sepia in your mind, coursing through your veins in hungry sensation. Earnest ochre and exhilarated plum coat an unfamiliar mindvoice, its deep balm soothing you, uniting you with the languished bass. « Kuloh? I have discovered you. We are together at last. » Ardent ruby thoughts trail liquid fire into your psyche, a contemplative afterthought. « As K'loh and Vorshnath, we will do monumental things. »
Vorshnath's laconic outlook on life furnishes him with a lifetime's supply of relaxed energy. An instinctive leader, he takes control easily, effortlessly, and is comfortable in his commandant skills. An approaching deadline is no cause for alarm, however, and neither is a recalcitrant wherry. « Why bother to be annoyed? What purpose does it serve? » reasons the bronze. Everything must have purpose, for purpose is structured, and structure is what makes great things happen. And he's destined for great things, he suspects. Shouldering extra work with cheerful acceptance and a chuckle to make the time go faster, he's not joking when he says there's a reason: he works as a means to an end. Vorshnath is decidedly a take-no-prisoners type of bronze. Sympathy only carries one a short distance before you're dumped in the sand and forced to walk on your own, he believes. Hence his motto: use others as long as they are effective. While he's no cold-hearted villain, he believes that compassion and benevolence are highly overrated when it comes right down to it. This also isn't to say that he isn' t an understanding dragon, for he indeed is. Empathic to the feelings of others, he hates to see suffering and misery; he feels duty bound to stop it. This sensitive side is hidden away, normally overrun by masculinity and assertiveness, and he is prone to inner tumult as his two dissimilar ideals war. The battle within him is staved off with a ribald humor, his flirting banter suggesting and declaring his luck with the ladies. Vorshnath's willingness staves off sharply at the thought of menial tasks, however. He's a /bronze/. They don't clean. And they definitely don't do anything the least bit /boring/, which scrubbing most certainly is. Having others scrub him, however, is a pleasant, majestic task to which he'll nag you about every day. « Want to go oil my hide? No? Well, how about a quick little rinse in the lake? » Though Vorsh would never openly admit that he craves your love, bathing him is an open declaration in his book. And while as a hatchling he may candidly express his own adoration, as an older dragon his masculinity will inhibit his ability to casually comment, « K'loh? Have I told you that I love you today? » He cherishes the greens and golds of the weyr, and loves to tease them. A debonair rake, they whisper from the ledges, one who's far too much ego for his own good. But they love him for it, and they appreciate his superiority for what it is: noble vanity.
Growing Up
True to his bronze nature, Vorshnath will naturally try and take the lead. Not that he'll succeed, always. After all, he has clutchmates that will often try and steal the rug out from under his talons. From the day he broke from his shell, he will have a maturity that other dragons tend to lack. Which isn't to say he'll be stodgy! Vorshnath knows his place, and where he can be the best asset. Likely to rise to wingleader straight out of weyrlinghood, Vorshnath dreams of commanding others with his structured and fair way that he has about him. He carries a knack for motivating both people and dragons that others don't have, an innate sense of the leader that others naturally follow. The public face that he carries tends to be kept on through thick and thin; professionalism in his duties is very important to him. » K'loh, why does that green insist on throwing a fit every time we do drills? It is practice, it is for the betterment of the wing. Doesn't she know that? « And just as he has his public side, you are the vent that helps keep his professionalism so stalwart. As the Turns pass, he will become even more dignified, the epitome of the bronze leader. And while he is an epitome, many will be fooled into thinking that heated liquid doesn't boil just beneath the surface. Vorshnath tends to hold himself responsible for many things, your happiness for one. He will come down hard on himself when a flight isn't won, or that promotion isn't attained. It will be your job, from weyrlinghood onward, to help even his keel as life's twists and turns bounce you both from one shore to the other, balancing each other with a joined love and bond. When it comes to flights, he will be an avid competitor, his large size and handsome frame helping him win many a flight. He tends to use both mind and body to win said flights, being a more academically minded dragon, he thinks constantly, always something to be contemplated. As he grows, he will have a tendency to think before he acts more; instead of just diving into that lovely lake at High Reaches, he may test it with his tail firstoff, to establish a feel for it. And such may be imprinted on you. Who knows just what traits will be traded and developed over the Turns? These are just a few that will bombard you both throughout your life time.
Why he chose K'loh
Why did Vorshnath pick K'loh? The side K'loh shows society, the rowdy, irate-at-the-world man-child side, drew him like a moth to a flame. Beneath the bluster and brashness is a amiable guy who's humorous enough to make him laugh and serious enough to get something done. Their egos are well matched: neither is as unyielding as they'd like to admit, and both are adamant in their refusals. « Of course I'm stubborn! Who said I wasn't? They're.. mistaken. » Both rider and bronze keep their emotions hidden behind a facade of cocky masculinity, but they're dying to be nice guys. Honest. Their compatibility lured Vorshanth, their total unity. « We are of the same mind on almost everything, K'loh. Is that not what dragons and their lifemates are supposed to be like? »
As the mind name suggests, the thick flow of warmth that is Vorshnath's mental touch is a heady thing. The smooth touch is nearly liquid in feeling as it washes over your psyche, it has the sometimes alarming trend of wiggling its way into the deepest recesses of your mind, and pooling there, knowing your darkest thoughts. Not to say that Vorshnath is a dour creature that likes to merely brood all day. On the contrary, as the warm touch of his mind indicates, he is as soft as they come; somewhere deep down, you just have to dig to get there. His stalwart appearance often stems from his mind, where, like the brandy it is named for, is rather potent, with a bit of an afterkick that can take many tones. Narrowing to a tart slice like whiskey when he is in his leader mode, his voice drops to the balmy smoothness of a good wine when he is at his lenient best, lounging in a cool portal of shade on your ledge. Not given to frills or whimsy, so is his voice, taking a practical attitude when dealing with others. No fanciful whirls of color inhabit his thoughts, the straightforward message is delivered with perhaps only a modicum of even azure when it's business. With pleasure, however, his tone can take a turnabout. When it comes to wooing the ladies, he parades it all out, able to court the greens and golds with the smooth bass that is his voice, caressing with a brilliant array of colors. And such he is more likely to take with you. Able to let down his guard with you, Vorshnath tends to wax more fanciful in his speech to you. You are his rider, why should not you see that side of him he keeps from his public, after all?
Vorshanth's inspiration is an eclectic mix of Peter the Great meets Reghynn and Blythe's imagination. :P His leadership abilities and competitive nature were both taken from the great Russian ruler, as well as his sometimes dour moods. I made his personality after re-reading your application, paying particular attention to Kuloh-the-character and what you liked and disliked in a dragon . It sounded like you really didn't want a total opposite for a lifemate, and so I fiddled with a few ideas and tried to make it not exactly what you were expecting. When you said you'd like to be able to RP a bit of humor with him, I added a dry sense, but really didn't touch much on it. I thought it would be more fun for you to just know that he had it and be able to change it a bit if you felt like it. :) It seemed only natural that a bronze with great leadership capabilities be lucky with the gals. :P For the most part he's like Peter - a take-no-prisoners type, and his akin to liquor was just an attribute we thought was neat. His name came from a pretty 'Russian' sounding name inspired by the movie Enemy at the Gates. Kuloh's way of trying to appear like what he wasn't was a major personality trait we developed in Vorshnath. He has two lives, a Public and a Private, and very few will ever see Vorsh's Private. :)

Summer Solstice
Today is my favorite day of the year. School is out and my girls are already firmly entrenched in their summer activities. I'm in the country, mostly, and time feels slowed down. Hours of just walking and thinking.
And evaluating. Is everyone happy? Is our country/city balance working? Is KiC still fun? The site could probably use something, but I'm not sure what…
So far, so good.On My Mind

It's been a while since you featured an interview. I think I discovered your blog through your interview with Kristina O'Neill.
Ann June 20th, 2016 11:24 AM
I think your site is fantastic! It would be nice to know about the boutiques and store fronts that are out there, across the country, where we can shop. When contemplating a significant purchase or updating a wardrobe, no website on earth can substitute for the help of a terrific shop owner (or excellent sales associate) with a well-edited collection and years of experience and with whom we can establish a relationship. Capitol in Charlotte is an example – I just can't spend $$$$$ with an 800 number, no matter how good their return policy is.
Paula June 20th, 2016 12:16 PM
I absolutely love your edits and suggestions- it would be very difficult to improve on what you are already doing.
If I was to make suggestions for periodic inclusions they would be- interviews with inspiring women as you have featured in the past. Perhaps more photos of you in your purchases and how you put outfits together.
Finally, for those of us working on a limited budget – perhaps edits that are more mid priced.
Melanie June 20th, 2016 12:45 PM
More skincare and makeup!
(Your blog is my www-bible)
Anna June 21st, 2016 8:45 AM
I agree with Melanie — would love more interviews, posts about your outfit choices/how you're putting together your closet, and mid-priced pieces.
On that last point I know that there are loads of blogs out there looking at less expensive pieces, and part of what I love about your blog is the fantasy, but you have such a good eye that it's nice to know what you think is worthwhile from some of the less expensive lines too.
Two thumbs up for all of the editorials you post and for your skill at keeping a positive and human tone in your writing.
C.Michol June 21st, 2016 12:18 PM
Love your blog…brevity is the soul of wit after all! Inspiring, but to the point.
Leslie June 21st, 2016 2:31 PM
I enjoy your blog and read it daily. You occasionally post on outfits/"uniforms" and I would love to see more of those posts since they are very inspiring and helpful.
Alissa June 21st, 2016 5:56 PM
My favorite day of the year as well for many reasons and I think your blog is perfect.
Kathy June 21st, 2016 6:00 PM
You are one of my "first reads." I enjoy your edits, but I'm on board with the other KiCers who would like to see the odd mid-priced post. I know that it's not your focus, but you do have a great eye.
Sharon June 21st, 2016 8:14 PM
Love, love, love your blog! Would appreciate more posts on what you buy and how you put it together (ditto Melanie).
MMS June 22nd, 2016 2:42 AM
Would love more on what makes it off your wish list and into your closet and how you put it together
Mrs.C June 22nd, 2016 9:09 AM
I would echo the other commenters who mentioned more from your personal life. It must be awfully scary to put yourself out there in this day and age, so many trolls on the Internet. But the posts that I'm most engaged in are the ones where you bring us into your world – whether it's interviews with friends, or discussing recent shopping trips, what pieces are going back to the store and what pieces are making their way into the rotation. I think back to when there was the two of you running the blog, and I think it had a bit more vibrancy as it felt like I, as the reader, was part of an ongoing conversation between friends. I specifically remember one post on packing for Nantucket (or was it Martha's Vineyard?) that was exactly the type of advice id ask my friends for, but chicer.
Not to take away from what you're putting out there. I really love how you've carved out a niche for yourself, a singular voice in this frequently crass world! Keep it up!
Laufa June 22nd, 2016 11:24 PM
I love your blog just the way it is! It's a pleasure to look at and read. So many sites are too junky today and barely edited! xoxo

Backflow of stomach fluids which contain acid and enzymes
Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
Backflow of stomach fluids into the esophagus; associated with heartburn
How is reflux laryngitis identified by physicians?
A Step-Wise Process
As with most diseases, a step-wise process of investigation is necessary to identify reflux laryngitis. This investigation can be "tricky" and a bit of challenge since many of the complaints and findings are also present in other voice disorders from other causes.
Step 1: Initial Identification
Although physicians may use different investigative approaches, initial identification is aimed at collecting three main clusters of clues that suggest that voice disorder is caused by backflow of stomach fluid into the voice box. (For more information, see Overview of Diagnosis, Treatment & Prevention.)
These clusters of clues are:
- Patient risk factors
- Patient observations
- Physical findings
1. Patient Risk Factor Clues
Physicians obtain these clues through a complete medical history with focus on determining whether risk factors for backflow exist. These factors include certain lifestyle habits – intake of certain food and drinks, smoking – and use of certain medications. Levels of patient voice usage in daily life or profession is also an important clue.
2. Patient Observation Clues
Through a complete medical history, physicians will review whether patient observations or complaints are consistent with the patterns observed in most cases of reflux laryngitis. If the review of patient risk factors and patient complaints are consistent reflux laryngitis, an alert level is raised which guides the next steps of investigation of voice function and the voice box.
3. Physical Finding Clues
Examination of the throat and voice box for visible changes consistent with reflux laryngitis can be done in the outpatient visit by:
- viewing by way of mirror examination
- viewing through special tube-like scopes (rigid laryngoscopy or flexible laryngoscopy). These scopes are small and are passed through the mouth or nose to the back of the throat. They magnify a view of the voice box and can identify changes that typically occur in reflux laryngitis. (For more information, see Laryngoscopy/Stroboscopy.)
Impact of "Less than Perfect" Treatment Trial
Patients must cooperate fully with their physicians during a treatment trial.
"Less than perfect" treatment trials can lead to a delay in the identification of backflow of stomach fluid (reflux) as the cause of the voice disorder.
- Backflow may not be the cause of the voice disorder or throat complaints: Finally, a non-response to the treatment trial could indicate that the cause of the voice disorder is most likely not stomach fluid backflow. Additional exams investigating other possible causes of voice dysfunction are indicated.
|Changes Consistent with Reflux Laryngitis
(one or more may be present)
(Click here for reference photographs.)
Combined with suggestive patient risk factor(s) and observation clues, the presence of the changes listed above present a convincing case that the patient's voice disorder is most likely reflux laryngitis.
Complete Head and Neck Exam
As part of the investigation, physicians perform a complete head/neck examination to check for any swollen glands, growths or lesions that might suggest that a condition other than reflux laryngitis is affecting your voice.
Step 2: Confirmation of Initial Identification Through Treatment Trial
With first step findings suggestive of reflux laryngitis, a trial of anti-reflux treatment is done – to begin treatment as well as to confirm the suggestive identification of reflux laryngitis.
A favorable response to the anti-reflix treatment trial indicates that the voice disorder is most likely caused by backflow of stomach fluids to the voice box (reflux laryngitis).
Treatment Trial (Empiric Therapy)
A treatment trial (empiric therapy) involves a three to six month period of treatment on anti-reflux medications and precautions. If the voice disorder and/or accompanying complaints decrease or go away with treatment, the identification of reflux laryngitis becomes clear.
There are two main components of empiric therapy.
- Altering dietary/lifestyle habits to reduce contributing risk factors
- Taking prescription medications to reduce the production of acid within the stomach to reduce the likelihood of acid backflow to the voice box area.
- Treatment Trial Response Usually Robust
- Recent research suggests that this therapy will successfully treat 90 percent of patients with reflux laryngitis.
Some People Require Longer Treatment Trials
If there is no improvement with the treatment trial, and investigation for other causes does not identify any other cause, a case with clues consistent with a voice disorder caused by backflow of stomach fluids may need a more intense treatment trial with higher doses of medicine or a longer observation period.
Component 1: Dietary/Lifestyle Modifications
Anti-reflux treatment involves elimination of dietary and lifestyle habits known to contribute to backflow of stomach fluids (reflux), such as:
- Avoid fatty foods, chocolate, mints, caffeinated beverages, carbonated drinks
- Avoid alcohol, especially in the evening and/or before bedtime
- Avoid overeating
- Avoid eating or drinking within three hours of going to bed
- Stop smoking
- Avoid tight-fitting clothing
- Lose weight if overweight
- Elevate the head of the bed 4-6 inches [*see below]
Daytime Backflow Different From Nighttime Backflow
- Elevating the head of the bed has been shown to reduce the help that gravity gives to backflow of stomach fluid when lying down.
- New research, however, suggests that in many patients with reflux laryngitis with no heartburn, the backflow occurs in the upright position – usually called "daytime" or "upright" refluxers.
- Therefore, bed elevation probably does not help majority of patients with reflux laryngitis.
Component 2: Prescription Medications
There are several medicines which inhibit the secretion of stomach acid – a key culprit causing voice disorders due to reflux. Currently, the group of medicines known as proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) seems to provide the best results.
Because they reduce the secretion of stomach acid at the source, these drugs are also typically prescribed for patients with "heartburn-type" backflow (gastroesophageal reflux disorder or GERD).
Medicines that Reduce Stomach Acid
|Brand Name
|Generic Name
Red Flag No Official Recommendation
The Website does not recommend the use of any pharmaceutical product. Patients must consult with physicians and pharmacists prior to use of any medication.
Treatment Trial Strategy
The twice-daily dose of stomach acid reducers (proton-pump inhibitors or PPIs) that physicians generally recommend for treatment trial for laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is higher than that typically given to patients with heartburn- or dyspepsia-type gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
As a treatment trial, drug dose starts at the high end in order to assure a response to the medication in the shortest possible time, rather than slowly increasing the dose over time with a wait-and-see attitude until a response to the medicine is observed. Current physician observations indicate that LPR usually needs higher doses of anti-reflux medication than GERD.
A Response to Treatment Trial Indicates Reflux as Cause
If the treatment trial results in improvement of patient symptoms and/or decrease of swelling and irritation of the voice box, identification that the voice disorder is due to stomach fluid backflow or becomes quite certain.
Long-Term Treatment Strategy Differs From Treatment Trial
With identification of the reflux laryngitis, a long-term management plan – using the optimal (lowest effective) dose of medicine along with continuing lifestyle changes – is then mapped out.
Non-Response to Treatment Trial May Be Due to Several Reasons
Some patients fail to improve with treatment trials. Failure of treatment trials to improve voice function, patient complaints, and/or voice box swelling and irritation could be explained by one or more of the reasons listed below.
- PPIs not included in treatment trial: Clinical experience has found that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the ideal drugs to use for treatment trials. Although effective at treating occasional heartburn, other medicines – over the-counter acid suppressants like Maalox or H2 blockers like Zantac, Pepcid AC, or Tagamet – have not been observed to be as effective in treating reflux laryngitis.
- PPIs not taken at the right time: Even when PPIs are used, the time patients take them and how long between doses can affect the success of the PPI treatment trial. In particular, because the effects of PPIs lasts only about 12 to 16 hours, they should be taken twice daily to achieve maximum effectiveness. Additionally, proton pump inhibitors should be taken 30 minutes to an hour before a meal to reach the stomach before acid secretion.
- Dietary lifestyle changes not followed: Success of treatment trials relies on patient cooperation with the anti-reflux precautions such as lifestyle changes as much as it does on the anti-reflux medications. Oftentimes, patients who fail to cut down on caffeine intake and smoking, for example, may continue to experience voice problems and accompanying complaints (symptoms) despite receiving the right medical therapy.
Role of Confirmatory Tests in Non-Response to Treatment Trial
When there is no clear-cut response to the treatment trial the patient's work-up that identified reflux laryngitis will be revisited and confirmatory tests for acid backflow will be performed, such as a test that directly measures the levels of acid in the throat and esophagus throughout a routine patient day (ambulatory prolonged double probe pH monitoring). This test can determine if acidic stomach fluids backflow, when backflow occurs, how many times the backflow occurs during the day, and with what activity the backflow occurs.
The use of confirmatory tests is best determined by the physician as each patient's case presents different specific problems and scenarios.
Tests to Confirm Identification of Reflux
Four tests are used to confirm the diagnosis of backflow of stomach fluid (reflux) as the cause of voice disorder or throat complaints.
- 24-hour dual channel or double-probe pH monitoring
- Barium swallow esophagram
- Esophagoscopy
- Esophageal manometry
Confirmatory Tests
|Questions Addressed
|Is there backflow?
|Is there injury to the lining of the food pipe?
|Are there segments of the food pipe with abnormal muscle function that contributes to backflow?
Note: These tests each have their limitations.
1. Prolonged 2-site Acid Level Test (Prolonged Double-Probe pH Monitoring)
What the Test Measures
This test measures the acid level at the site where the sensors are placed since stomach acidic fluids have much lower pH levels compared to saliva, food, or drinks. This test can measure:
- Presence or absence of acid in the esophagus or in back of throat above food pipe opening (hypopharynx)
- How many times acid backflow happens throughout the test period (usually a whole day)
- How symptoms correlate with time of day and patient activity
How the Test Is Done
A small tube is placed through the nose into the food pipe with two sensors (located at the tip) that measure acid levels (pH levels).
- Lower Sensor: A sensor is placed in the esophagus above the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) (#3 in diagram) to check for backflow of stomach acid into the food pipe. (Note: This position is also where a probe would be placed to determine whether "classic" gastroesophageal reflux is present.)
- Upper Sensor: Another sensor is placed near the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) (#2 in diagram). Since stomach acid backflow must reach this level to cause reflux laryngitis, measurement of acid level at this site is important. (Note: some physicians may place a sensor in the lower back of the pharynx or hypopharynx (#1).)
- 24-hour record: To accurately measure levels of acid over a 24-hour period, information from the sensors is sent to a small recording device clipped to the patient's belt. The catheter running through the nose and down the throat must be kept in place the entire 24-hour period.
- 24-hour patient journal: During this study, the patient keeps a journal of complaints, time they were felt, as well as time and type activities performed (lying down, eating, upright positions).
- Routine OK: The probe placements do not disturb breathing, swallowing, talking – so the patient may carry on a routine day, and should do so for maximum benefit of the testing.
- Minor side effects: Although uncomfortable, prolonged double-probe pH monitoring is usually well tolerated by patients. The most noticeable side effect can be some loss of sleep due to throat and nasal irritation from the small catheter.
Difficulties Interpreting Results from Double-Probe pH Monitoring – Test Has Limitations
Although double-probe pH monitoring is considered the confirmatory test for reflux laryngitis, the test has its limitations.
- Meaning of positive results clear: Detection of acid backflow to the level of the upper probe (above the upper esophageal sphincter or (UES)) indicates that the voice disorder is caused by backflow of stomach fluid with a high degree of certainty.
- Meaning of negative results less clear: However, non-detection of acid (negative results on pH monitoring) does not eliminate the possibility that the voice disorder is caused by reflux. The reasons for this cloudy view are:
- On-off backflow: Some patients can experience laryngopharyngeal reflux on a sporadic or intermittent "on-off" basis. Therefore, the relatively short 24-hour pH probe may fail to pick up any acid backflow.
- An "off day": Some patients do not live a "normal" day during the 24-hour pH probe test–for example, not experiencing normal stress or eating the foods they typically do. Restricting reflux-inducing activities during a 24-hour pH test may result in a pseudo-negative (false-negative) result.
2. X-ray Imaging of Food Pipe During Swallowing (Barium Swallow Esophagram)
Current observations indicate that barium swallow esophagrams have not been very helpful in the identification of reflux laryngitis.
What the Test Measures
A barium swallow esophagram is an X-ray study that can demonstrate reflux, abnormal narrowings along the food pipe (esophageal strictures).
How the Test Is Done
During an X-ray a patient swallows a contrast fluid, containing barium (barium swallow) which appears densely white on X-ray. The food pipe walls appear gray, and any air in the food pipe appears black. On X-rays during swallowing, the barium-white cocktail stands out against the tissue and air, giving an overview picture of the food pipe structure and function.
What the Test Identifies
- By following what happens to the barium-white cocktail after it is swallowed, backflow can be confirmed.
- By checking the outline of the inner wall of the esophagus, the test can detect:
- narrowings along the esophagus (strictures)
- bulges along the food pipe caused by any mass – such as tumors
By checking where the stomach connects to the esophagus, the test can also identify abnormal junction between the food pipe and stomach or (hiatal hernia)
3. Esophagoscopy
What the Test Measures
This test allows direct inspection of the inner surface of the food pipe and stomach.
How the Test Is Done
A viewing tube-scope is passed into the esophagus and stomach.
What the Test Identifies
- Abnormalities affecting or on the surface of the esophagus
- Inflammation and irritation along the food pipe (erosive esophagitis)
- Narrowings (strictures)
- Abnormal surface features (Barrett's esophagus)
- Abnormal junction between the food pipe and stomach (hiatal hernia)
- Site for a biopsy: A small sample (biopsy) of the food pipe lining can be taken to investigate any abnormality at the cell level.
4. Manometry
What the Test Measures
This test measures the pressures generated along the esophagus and at the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) and lower esophageal sphincter (LES).
How the Test Is Done
A pressure-sensitive catheter is placed into the food pipe and measures the pressures generated by both upper and lower sphincters of the food pipe, as well as along the food pipe as food is moved into the stomach through sequence of muscle contractions along the food pipe (peristalsis).
What the Test Identifies
Manometry, which measures pressure generated along the esophagus, can be useful in identifying how backflow occurs.
If the pressure at the UES is low (normal UES pressure is about +100 units), any acid that has found its way into the food pipe can easily get into the throat and voice box area (laryngopharyngeal reflux).
Note: Likewise, air in the throat can easily get into the esophagus.
If the pressure at the LES is low (normal LES pressure is about +20 units), stomach acid can easily backflow into the food pipe since the pressure in the stomach (usually + 5 units) is 10 times higher than the pressure along he food pipe (usually -5 units since it is in the chest cav
The information about esophageal pressure gathered in manometry has been found to be helpful in predicting treatment outcomes.
- For barium swallow esophagram, esophagoscopy, and manometry, a gastroenterologist is usually involved.
- Depending on results, referral to a general surgeon may be advised for surgical treatment of GERD.
What are new trends/issues in identifying reflux laryngitis?
1. Stomach Enzyme (Pepsin) Testing
Pepsin is the stomach enzyme that (along with stomach acid) helps digest foods in the stomach. Pepsin may cause problems in patients with backflow (reflux).
As with a crime scene investigation, testing for stomach fluid backflow looks for "fingerprints" – the fingerprints of reflux are stomach acid and stomach enzymes. A test for measuring stomach acid exists, the pH probe test. A test for measuring stomach enzymes (pepsin) is being developed.
What the Test Measures
This test measures whether a key stomach enzyme (pepsin) is present at the level of the upper and lower esophageal sphincters (UES and LES).
Possible Added Value of Test
If this new technique is perfected and proves valid, the identification of voice disorders from backflow of stomach fluid (reflux laryngitis) may be easier since only a saliva sample would be necessary for testing.
B. Normal Levels for Acid Balance
During a 24-hour dual-probe pH test, the acidity of your throat and larynx is measured along a pH scale of 1 to 14. Individuals with no (or only minimal) reflux present would score around a 7 – meaning the pH level of their LES and UES areas is balanced. Some disagreement exists over the level at which a patient's pH would suggest backflow to the voice box area (laryngopharyngeal reflux or LPR) is present.

How To Organize Your Closet For Maximum Efficiency
How many of us can say their closet is perfectly organized and efficient? Chances are there aren't that many cases that can fit the profile. The main problem is we fail to come up with an efficient storage system in the first place. But once we identify the issue, a whole new world of possibilities becomes available.
Try color-coding everything in your closet. Put all your dark-colored shirts in one place, the white linens on a separate shelf and so on. This makes finding the item you need a lot easier if you know exactly where to look for it.
Don't think of your closet as being nothing but a storage space. Treat like any other room of the house. Pay attention to lighting, colors, floor covering, accessories, seating and everything else.
Add extra storage inside your closet with hooks. Attach them to the walls, the inside of the cabinet doors or underneath the shelves.
Get rid of your closet doors if you think they obstruct your freedom of movement. If the closet space is small, you'd have more to gain if you replaced the doors with curtains or hanging screens.
Don't neglect the lighting in your closet. It helps you better see and identify everything that's iside so you don't have to make a mess every time you're looking for a specific piece of clothing or accessory.
Think vertical and use every inch of space in your closet, under it and above it. You'll be able to store more and be more efficient.
Don't waste the wall space if you have it. Come up with a system that lets you store, display and organize your jewelry. You can use an old frame, some spray paint and canvas.
Store your shoes in clear boxes. This way you won't have to take down and open each box till you find the pair you were looking for.
Label all your out-of-season items and place them in boxes, bins or baskets. It's a lot better than throwing them in a big box or bag. Organize everything now so you don't have to waste time doing it later.
Separate your clothes into daily outfits. This way you won't waste time every morning trying to figure out what to wear or being disappointed when you find out the shirt you wanted is in the washer. You can make these yourself from cardboard or old CDs.
Keep all your boots off the floor and organized using pants hangers. It's actually a really great idea that allows you to save space and also to keep your closet nice and tidy.

I agree with Redmond City Council member Hank Myers' letter that the council needs more brains. But where to start?
In defending the city council's 7-0 votes, Mr. Myers claims that proposals have already been "thoroughly vetted" by a lengthy administrative process when they reach the council. This reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of the legislative process. An important function of a legislative body is as a check on the permanent government. It is not enough that elected officials merely say yea or nay, their duty is to bring a considered deliberation to the process. It is essential that elected officials, when they do not have independent staff, do their own unbiased research and not depend upon a bureaucracy that may provide information, either consciously or unconsciously, to support a predetermined outcome. This check on the permanent government is essential.
Once a proposal comes to the full council, each member should apply his/her distinct knowledge and intelligence to the issue through an open process of debate, opinion, counter-opinion and argument to ensure that the policy to be adopted by the council is congruent with the desires and needs of the citizens of Redmond. Unanimity rarely results in good outcomes.
Mr. Myers might want to google an erstwhile Speaker of the House of Representatives, Sam Rayburn, who remarked, when two people agree on everything, only one of them is doing the thinking. So, who is doing the thinking for the seven in lock-step council members?
Given the council's proclivity for agreement, Mr. Myers' kidney analogy may be appropriate. Since a body can get by on only one kidney, perhaps the city council is unnecessary.

Have you read The Empathic INFJ? It is a book I really enjoyed writing as it steps outside of the normal perception of what it means to be an INFJ and takes the reader a little deeper. While being an Empath may not be a popular concept, it was important to me to push the boundaries of what is comfortable in Myers-Briggs terminology in order to help those who perceive the world differently feel a little less confused about their experiences.
If you are curious about what it means to be an Empath and are interested in stretching the bounds of how we view Myers-Briggs personality types, consider grabbing a copy today.
If you have all ready read the book, please consider taking a moment to leave a review on Amazon. It means so much to me to see what others think and experience while reading it and your positive words can help get the book in the hands of more people who need it.
I have come a long way since first learning my personality type and am finally at a place where I feel confident standing in my truth. I hope to continue to push the bounds of how we view MBTI and the "normal" psychological experience. Only by pushing outside of our comfort zone can we move forward in personal growth.
If you ever have any questions or have some confusion about the things which you see on this website, on my Facebook page or in my books, please feel free to shoot me a message. I love interacting with the like-minded and together we can build up one another and achieve a higher level of personal development!
