LUMBAR ANATOMY - NERVOUS SYSTEM
Lumbar Spine Anatomy Central Nervous System osteopath movies
The nervous system can be divided into the central nervous system (brain and spinal nerves) and the peripheral nervous system (somatic, autonomic and enteric components). The somatic peripheral nerves carry messages between the spinal cord and body. The sensory nerves carry messages towards the brain, such as information about pain, pressure, temperature and joint position, osteopath movies. The motor nerves carry impulses to the muscles to control muscle contraction/relaxation.
The spinal nerves within the vertebral canal form the spinal cord. The spinal cord starts at the base of the brain, and passes down the vertebral canal, osteopath movies.
The nerves leave the spinal cord through gaps between the vertebrae (intervertebral foramina), and travel to all parts of the trunk and limbs.
The nerves that leave the neck, or cervical spine, go to the arms, osteopath movies.
The nerves that leave the chest, or thoracic spine, go to the chest and belly.
The nerves that leave the lower back, or lumbar spine, go to the pelvis and legs, osteopath movies.
The vertebrae provide protection and support for the spinal cord, in the same way that the skull provides protection and support for the brain.
If a nerve is irritated by chemical inflammation or physical compression or traction, it may not transmit its messages correctly, or it may spontaneously generate new messages, osteopath movies. An irritated motor nerve may not transmit its impulses to its muscle, leading to weakness or paralysis of that muscle. An irritated sensory nerve may not transmit its sensations, leading to a sensation of numbness. The irritated sensory nerve may generate its own impulses to the brain, which can be perceived as paresthesia (pins and needles) or pain in the region of the body that normally transmits along that nerve.

* Eggborough
Difficult shots due to the weather worsening again, so everything got wet, the peripheral lineside shrubbery and HGVs passing along the road at moderately high speed and occasionally 'glancing through' the large lake of water which had formed in the lay-by just behind the camera; nice! At top another class 66 GBRf coal train, heading east for Drax, this time its 66713, 'Forest City' on the 6E94 Hunterston(GBRf) to Drax A.E.S. and yet another 2000tonnes of foreign coal which this time set off at 11:30pm the previous day, and has travelled all the way down here to arrive 12 hours later, passing the thousands of tonnes of stored coal at Kellingley, as it made its way along to the power station at the end of the short stub of line branching off the main line just east of Eggborough at Gowdall; the line once continuing over the River Aire before curving around to reach the Merry-Go-Round line at the power station. The line then continued to the north-west to join the main line through Joan Croft Junction from Doncaster, and so on into Selby. Another line also continued to the north-east from the power station to pass over the River Ouse and head east through Howden and then along the north side of the Humber; this line too now long gone and the bridge over the Ouse removed; another part of what used to be our extensive and useful railway infra-structure gone... In the top picture the GBRf is seen just about to pass in front of the Eggborough Power Station which I understood also closed late last year at about the same time as Kellingley so not quite sure what's going on there, it looks to be under 'full steam', literally. And a bit of fun, in the lower picture, showing the advancing GBRf under its own steam as it places itself just in front of the chimney stack at the poser station and squinting at the picture you might believe this is an old steam hauled coal train heading east... maybe not, the stack is too high!!
Just north of the M8 motorway on the east side of Glasgow. stands the suburb of Easterhouse. Built in the 1950s as one of a series of large peripheral estates intended to house people displaced by slum clearance programmes from central Glasgow, by the 1980s it had become a byword for poor planning and social problems. Since then, widespread replacement of housing and the building of community facilities have brought about something of a renaissance in the fortunes of the area. So it comes as rather a surprise to find that in Auchinlea Park, beside the enormous Glasgow Fort shopping centre, and within a few hundred yards of Junction 10 on the M8, stands one of the best-preserved medieval fortified country houses in Scotland - Provan Hall.
I came here on a Saturday (while waiting for Emirates to find my suitcase, delayed in Dubai following the Boeing 777 crash-landing there in August 2016, that disrupted schedules and baggage movement for more than a week), expecting it to be open - but the gates were firmly closed, as, I have since discovered, they are all weekend and every weekend! Peering through the gates, I could see that the grounds are well cared for, but I got the impression that very few people know it is here and that the rather sad looking car park doesn't get a lot of use.
The original house, which is believed to date back to the 1460s, is the building on the right (which is the north side). It is oblong on plan, with what was a circular stair-tower on the north-east angle (it still is circular, it just isn't a stair-tower any longer!). The walls are of good rubble but only reach two storeys, with a garret within the steeply pitched roof, the first floor windows being the dormers seen here. There are three doorways at ground level, all of course facing the courtyard, presumably only one of which is original. An outside fore-stair has been added against the east wall of the courtyard, to replace the turnpike stair that rose in the round tower, and a fourth doorway and lobby were formed at the east end of the first floor. There are shot-holes and a key-hole type arrow slit in the round tower. The basement contains three vaulted chambers, the largest, at the far end, was the original kitchen, with a fireplace, oven and slops drain. The first floor contains two rooms, each with a hooded fireplace.
The curtain walls, joining the buildings to north and south of the cobbled courtyard, both have archways in them, although the far one, in the west wall, is 'modern'. The arched entrance in the east wall (shown) is defended by a shot-hole to its right, and inside, the stumps of steps can be seen in the wall, leading up to a former lookout platform over the gate. This was removed when the fore-stair previously mentioned was built.
I first noticed these on the store shelf last week, though I see from Great Beyond's photostream that the Pepsi version has been around for a while. I took this shot intending to use it as a take off for an entry in my blog, but while I was at it I decided to experiment with the "Peripheral Defocus" in the GF1's scene mode menu.
The bottles are about 12inches from the camera; the doorknob in the background is only another 36 behind them. Shot at F4.0, about 18mm.
Check out my Amiga 2000 setup I had in High School. I had a flicker-fixer so I could use my VGA monitor with it. In addition, because I worked at a computer store and could get things at cost, I was able to afford that super sweet (for the time) 9600bps modem. Practical Peripherals. This picture was taken probably in 1992 or so.
EGPA (eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis) /Churg-Strauss Syndrome is a rare systemic vasculitis that is usually accompanied by peripheral eosinophilia and asthma.
In the center of the image there is a blood vessel exhibiting fibrinoid necrosis. It is surrounded by a dense mixed inflammatory infiltrate containing a large number of eosinphiles.
One of Glasgow's many and vast peripheral housing estates, developed from the 1920s up into the 1960s, inlcuded Penilee - this plan shows the intention for development on what had been a green field site.
Glasgow's housing schemes sadly became a by-word for poverty and deprivation - isolated on the fringes of the city, often with no communal or social infrastructure, they have largely now been demolished or redeveloped (along with Glasgow's equally vast inner-city redevelopments) - but it is easy to forget the sheer scale and volume of housing that was provided by the City Council - and how swiftly it was delivered - it was also the case that people rehoused in suburbs such as Penilee often lived in some of Europe's worst slums and perhaps we shouldn't wholly overlook the social intentions of those who strove to re-house Glaswegians.

A Lava Lizard on Espanola Island.
Lava Lizard
The reptile genus Tropidurus includes several species of ground lizard. It includes seven which are endemic to the Galapagos Islands, where collectively known as lava lizards, although these commonly are placed in the genus Microlophus instead. The distribution of these lizards and their variations in shape, colour and behaviour show the phenomenon of adaptive radiation so typical of the inhabitants of this archipelago. One species occurs on all the central and western islands, which were perhaps connected during periods of lower sea levels, while one species each occurs on six other more peripheral islands. All have most likely evolved from a single ancestral species. Other Tropidurus species are found on the South American mainland, especially in the Amazon Rainforest. Males and females of all Tropidurus species are marked differently. The male is usually much larger than the female, and its body is more brightly coloured and distinctly patterned. The average size of lizards varies greatly from habitat to habitat as does the pattern of body markings. Markings vary considerably, even within an individual species. Like many lizards, they show changes of colour with mood and temperature. Members of the same species occurring in different habitats also show colour differences. Thus animals living mainly on dark lava are darker than ones which live in lighter, sandy environments
The Nazca Booby, Sula granti, is a booby which is found in the eastern Pacific Ocean, namely on the Galápagos Islands, Clipperton Island and the Revillagigedo Islands off Baja California. It was formerly regarded as a subspecies of the Masked Booby but the Nazca Booby is now recognized as a separate species. They differ in regard to ecological and morphological. The Nazca Booby co-occurs with the Masked Booby on Clipperton Island, where they may rarely hybridize. Nazca boobies are known for practicing obligate siblicide. They lay two eggs, several days apart. If both eggs hatch, the elder chick will push its sibling out of the nest area, leaving it to die of thirst or cold. The parent booby will not intervene and the younger chick will inevitably die. It is believed that two eggs are laid so that one remains an insurance in case the other gets destroyed or eaten, or the chick dies soon after hatching. In a study published in PLoS ONE (June 18, 2008), biologists linked the murderous behavior to high levels of testosterone and androgens found in the hatchlings. According to the study, the high hormone levels also cause the surviving chicks to behave like bullies after they grow up. Adults that have failed to breed frequently seek out nestlings in their colony, and during those visits they often bite, preen and even try to copulate with chicks. This behaviour is known as NPAV, which stands for Non Parental Adult Visitor; the causes of this behavior are not fully understood.
Espanola (Suarez Point)
Approximately a 10-12 hour trip from Santa Cruz, Española is the oldest and the southernmost island in the chain. The trip across open waters can be quite rough especially during August and September. Española's remote location helped make it a unique jewel with a large number of endemic creatures. Secluded from the other islands, wildlife on Española adapted to the island's environment and natural resources. The subspecies of Marine iguana from Española are the only ones that change color during breeding season. Normally, marine iguanas are black in color, a camouflage, making it difficult for predators to differentiate between the iguanas and the black lava rocks where they live. On Española adult marine iguanas are brightly colored with a reddish tint except during mating season when their color changes to more of a greenish shade. The Hood Mockingbird is also endemic to the island. These brazen birds have no fear of man and frequently land on visitors heads and shoulders searching for food. The Hood Mockingbird is slightly larger than other mockingbirds found in the Galapagos; its beak is longer and has a more curved shape. The Hood Mockingbird is the only carnivorous one of the species feeding on a variety of insects, turtle hatchlings and sea lion placentas. Wildlife is the highlight of Española and the star of the show is the waved albatross. The island's steep cliffs serve as the perfect runways for these large birds which take off for their ocean feeding grounds near the mainland of Ecuador and Peru abandoning the island between January and March. Known as endemic to the island, Española is the waved albatross's only nesting place. Each April the males return to Española followed shortly thereafter by the females. Mating for life, their ritual begins with the male's annual dance to re-attract his mate. The performance can take up to 5 days consisting of a series of strutting, honking, and beak fencing. Once the pair is reacquainted they produce a single egg and share the responsibility of incubation. The colony remains based on Española until December when the chick is fully grown. By January most of the colony leaves the island to fish along the Humboldt Current. Young albatross do not return to Española until their 4th or 5th year when they return to seek a mate. Geographically Española is a classic example of a shield volcano, created from a single caldera in the center of the island. Over the years as the island has moved further away from the hot spot, the volcano became extinct and erosion began to occur. Española's two visitor sites offer an exceptional island visit. Punta Suarez is one of the highlights of the Galapagos Islands. The variety and quantity of wildlife assures a memorable visit. Visitors find migrant, resident, and endemic wildlife including brightly colored Marine Iguanas, Española Lava Lizards, Hood Mockingbirds, Swallow Tailed Gulls, Blue Footed and Masked Boobies, Galapagos Hawks, a selection of Finch, and the Waved Albatross.Found on the western tip of Española, Punta Suarez offers great wildlife such as sea lions, sea birds and the largest marine iguanas of Galapagos. This is one of the best sites in the Galapagos. The amount of wildlife is overwhelming. Along the beach there are many sea lions and large, colorful lava lizards and marine iguanas. As you follow the trail to the cliff's edge masked boobies can be found nesting among the rock formations. After a short walk down to a beach and back up the other side blue-footed boobies are seen nesting just off the trail. The Galapagos Dove and very friendly Hood Mockingbird are commonly found in this area. The nearby bushes are frequently home to the large-cactus finch, warbler finch, small-ground finch and large-billed flycatcher. Continuing down the trail you come to the only place where waved albatross nest in the islands. Some 12,000 pairs nest on Española each year. The feeling is very dramatic and it seems like a desolate wilderness as the waves crash on the jagged cliffs below and the blowhole shoots water 50-70 feet/15-30 meters into the air. The sky above is full of sea birds including red-billed tropicbirds, American Oystercatchers, swallow-tailed gulls, and Audubon's Shearwaters.
Galapagos Islands
The Galápagos Islands (official name: Archipiélago de Colón; other Spanish names: Islas de Colón or Islas Galápagos) are an archipelago of volcanic islands distributed around the equator in the Pacific Ocean, some 900 km west of Ecuador. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site: wildlife is its most notable feature. Because of the only very recent arrival of man the majority of the wildlife has no fear of humans and will allow visitors to walk right up them, often having to step over Iguanas or Sea Lions.The Galápagos islands and its surrounding waters are part of a province, a national park, and a biological marine reserve. The principal language on the islands is Spanish. The islands have a population of around 40,000, which is a 40-fold expansion in 50 years. The islands are geologically young and famed for their vast number of endemic species, which were studied by Charles Darwin during the voyage of the Beagle. His observations and collections contributed to the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.

I stood there waiting, playing that game with myself where I tried to guess from which direction she would come and then will her to appear from said point. Finally i heard the shrill whistle which was all carnival midway screams and plead to the band for encores that she did and which had always annoyed me. She was across the street right before the corner. I crossed over, she bent forward in bird drinking motion and my lips found her cheeks. We went into the lobby which was too white for me and caused a squint until my eyes adjusted. All that shiny whiteness, someone spent all night after everyone else went home on their knees polishing just to create the illusion that here was a piece of the perfect world dropped down on the right bank. We got in the elevator, she did not tell me what it was all about as it was easier to say nothing than start to and have to stop when the elevator did. The elevator opened at the top floor. There was an alcove in the wall, square shaped and fronted by brass edged glass in which a menu showing the day's faire was placed. Briefly I saw turbot with celery root puree and thought to some time come back. There was a red velvet rope which lead to a podium. Behind the podium a thick set Asian woman was thumbing through a black leather reservation book. Her outfit was without ornamentation but expensive. She saw Sasha and clearly recognized her, she reached under the podium for a glass and made a pantomime of sipping from it as she stepped back. Her taking an impromptu drink break was to show Sasha she wanted nothing to do with anything but I also think that in the back of her mind was the thought that a cup full of hot liquid offered up a modicum of protection. We crossed the room, peripherally i tried to see if anyone had ordered the fish. Most of the people were eating and talking softly as on stage a woman was singing, accompanied by a lone muted trumpet. The floor was of a jade green and the windows at the far end of the room allowed the light to project some of its color onto the singers cream colored dress. Sasha waited until the last note of the song exhaled from the trumpet before pulling the singer off the stage. I could not hear what Sasha was saying as she rained her fists down on her as I stood a little away glowering at the crowd who really only wanted to enjoy their lunch as insurance that everyone remain in their seat. Even had I been closer though, all was said through barley parted lips, squeezed out through gritted teeth, all the effort taken to birth the words in this way giving them more power. Finally she turned around and we walked back to the elevator, the hostess remembering something urgent she needed to study in the book as we passed by.

This was in the video game room, which we didn't even see the first night. They had tons of consoles set up with all kinds of games that require quirky peripherals... Guitar Freaks (Guitar Hero/Rock Band ripped off Guitar Freaks. Konami did it all way before Harmonix.), Guitar Hero & Rock Band (which had bracketed tournaments you could sign up for), Pop'n Music (I've always wanted to see what the controller looked like for that -- we played a couple games), and a bunch of fighter and brawler games. If I had the proper suppliments for body and spirit, I could probably have hung out in this room all day, ignoring all the panels, dealer booths, and such.

BACKSTORY: After the Freezepop concert, we went back to AnimeUSA the following day. We were supposed to get up and go to the Freezepop Q&A at 11:30am, but we didn't make it out of bed in time. We did make it by 2PM to get their autograph. That was cool, because we asked where the autographs were going to be, and the staff said, "In that corner. There'll be a huge line." So we go to that corner, and there was no line. Clint was like "Where's Freezepop?" and he turned around and was like, "O HAI!", because they were right behind us. Liz Enthusiasm said, "We're not sure where we're supposed to be..." Finally they figured it out. They got a picture with some random fan, but Clint & I weren't fast enough to get one of us (it would have helped if Clint knew this was one of our objectives). But we were first in line to get the autograph. Sean T. Drinkwater wasn't there, so we kinda waited around until he showed up, muscled into the line, and were like, "We were here before, but you weren't." So we got autographs on 2 more of our purchased Freezepop albums. After that, we hung around for an hour or two checking various things out. But since it's a 3-day con, many events that we were interested in were spread thinly. The night stuff was interesting, but we weren't going to spend all day there. Finally we left for home around 5 or 6PM.

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Introducing the 17-inch MacBook Pro. The state-of-the-art quad-core Intel i7 processor delivers up to 2x faster performance (over the previous generation of MacBook Pro). New Thunderbolt technology lets you connect high-performance peripherals and high-resolution displays to a single port, and transfer files at lightning speeds. And with the built-in FaceTime HD camera, you can make astonishingly crisp HD video calls.
The 17-inch unibody MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt technology (see larger image).With the revolutionary Thunderbolt technology, you'll be able to achieve bi-directional channels with transfer speeds to peripherals like external hard drives and servers up to an amazing 10 Gbps--while also connecting to a DisplayPort-compatible high-resolution display.
As with previous models, the MacBook Pro features a precision unibody enclosure crafted from a single block of aluminum, creating a thin and light mobile computing workhorse (less than 1 inch thin and just 6.6 pounds) that's also highly durable. It includes a 17-inch, LED-backlit glass display as well as a glass trackpad that doesn't include a button (for larger tracking area) that features Apple's Multi-Touch technology. And it comes standard with automatic graphics switching that provides performance when you need it and energy efficiency when you don't. You'll also get up to 7 hours of battery life while on the go.
This version of the 17-inch MacBook Pro (model MD311LL/A) features a second-generation 2.4 GHz Core i7 quad-core processor, 750 GB hard drive, and 4 GB of installed RAM. Other features include ultra-fast Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking, Bluetooth connectivity, an ExpressCard/34 slot, three USB 2.0 ports, and a FireWire 800 port (see full specifications below).
FaceTime HD camera built into the bezel for crisp, widescreen video chats (see larger image).
The backlit keyboard--great for typing in low-light settings (see larger image).Key Features
Revolutionary Thunderbolt Technology
Developed by Intel with collaboration from Apple, high-speed Thunderbolt I/O (input/output) technology delivers an amazing 10 gigabits per second of transfer speeds in both directions. Built into the MacBook Pro, the Thunderbolt port allows you to connect to new Thunderbolt-compatible peripherals as well as existing USB and FireWire peripherals using simple adapters. You'll be able to move data up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and more than 12 times faster than with FireWire 800, and you can daisy-chain multiple high-speed devices without using a hub.
And because Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology, you'll be able to connect to a high-resolution display from the same port. Any Mini DisplayPort display plugs right into the Thunderbolt port, and you can also connect displays that use DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA connections with an existing adapter. You'll also be able to include your display into a daisy-chained set of peripherals.
Next-Generation Quad-Core Intel Processor
This MacBook Pro is powered by a second-generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processor, which provides breakthrough digital media management, content creation, and 3D gaming capabilities. With updated Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, the latest Core i7 increases speed automatically for whatever you're doing, dynamically accelerating performance to match your workload.
Intel's Hyper-Threading Technology enables each core of your processor to work on two tasks at the same time, delivering the performance you need for smart multitasking. And you'll enjoy a rich set of new features for a stunning and seamless visual experience with no additional hardware. The Core i7 processor also provides faster access to the installed RAM, with an integrated memory controller to connect fast 1333 MHz memory directly to the processor.
With new microarchitecture, the graphics processor resides on the same chip as the central processor and has direct access to the 6 MB of shared L3 cache--helping your applications run at peak performance. And an integrated video encoder enables HD video calls with FaceTime, while an efficient decoder gives you long battery life when you're watching DVDs or iTunes movies.
Automatic Graphics Switching
The MacBook Pro offers excellent graphics flexibility with two video processors--the discrete AMD Radeon HD 6770M processor (with 1 GB of GDDR5 video memory) for heavier workloads and an integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor for better battery life on the go. When gaming or using processor-intensive applications like Aperture or Final Cut Pro, you'll appreciate the power of the AMD Radeon HD 6770M, which lets you see more frames per second and experience better responsiveness. And the automatic graphics switching feature determines which graphics processor an application needs and switches instantly between the processors.
Buttonless Multi-Touch Trackpad
With no button on the glass trackpad, there's more room to track and click--left, right, center, and everywhere in between. Without a separate button, the trackpad gives your hands plenty of room to move on the large, silky glass surface. It also incorporates Multi-Touch gestures--including swipe, pinch, rotate, and four-finger swipe. And it also now supports inertial scrolling, an intuitive way to scroll through large photo libraries, lengthy documents and long web sites.
How do I explain? Well I was trying to dye my favourite shorts back to the blue colour they should be, I plopped them into the bucket and mixed them around a bit, then rinsed the dye off my hands. Except its not coming off, even after scrubbing with every available household cleaner. It wouldn't bother me except we have bedside teaching on Tuesday with our tutor and I'm going to have to explain it to him and not sound like an idiot. Come on skin, exfoliate!
Update: It's Sunday night and there is still blue areas around my cuticles and knuckles but not too noticeable thankfully. The two best methods for getting it off were
foot scrub and gently shaving with a razor (which scrapes off the top layer of skin).

Though Norfolk is nigh, here in Brandon the writ of far-off Ipswich obtains, for we are a few hundred yards inside the county of Suffolk. The peripheral, pine-surrounded town, poised 'twixt fen and heath, must once have been an unremarkable yet decent little country place. That empty Y-shaped open space up ahead must once have been Brandon's Trafalgar Square. Imagine it a couple of hundred years ago. Carts and baskets, straw and dung on the ground, horses stamping and snorting, groups of farmers gossiping, the pieman, the applewoman, shouts and cries, the public houses thronged, brawls with drawn cabbage-stalks.
Well, look at it now ...a tasteful "space" with bollards, subtopianized paving and seat-ringed flower tubs. Here, groups of ferrety, undersized youths in hoodies and jog pants spit and swear and, eschewing the lavishly-provided retro-litter bins, deposit their isotonic Lucozade bottles among the plantings of Primula and Godetia. One heroic grocer intrepidly sets out his stalls a couple of times a week and conducts his trade in the open air, but he's probably flogging a dead horse. Meanwhile, as can be seen from the photograph, this tiny place supports the livelyhoods of two betting shops. Even now, on a Saturday morning, the reconstituted pavé of the High Street is unfrequented save for a few defeated souls on their way to buy lottery tickets from the Spar.
It's a long time since I bought a camera. I now mostly use weighty, bulky TLRs. They're worth it for the image quality, but I do miss the convenience of 35mm. However good the cameras are, a 35mm negative was never meant to be blown up to the size of a wide-screen computer monitor. On screen they never look as good as something taken on 120. Anyway, I was viewing a You Tube video entitled "Cheap Cameras With Great Lenses". One of those featured was the Nikon L35AF. It was a little pocketable, all-automatic point-and-shoot. If the lens was good, I thought, it might be an acceptable alternative to 120 for the more casual, spontaneous type of pic. Reader, for £27.50, I bought one. The only film to hand was an Ilford HP5. I went out to shoot "just anything" ...something I always find difficult. It took me a whole morning to get throught the 36 exposures. The only developer I had was Aculux 3 dating from last summer. Oh well ...it was that or order something else and wait for it to arrive ...with a weekend intervening too. What with that and the dismal light (the sun broke through for a few seconds at the moment of snapping the above) it may not have been exactly a fair test. There is nice grain and nasty grain ...though I'd find it difficult to define where the distinction lies... and most of this film was borderline nasty ...probably attributable to my spastic processing. The camera ...mine is actually the L35AD variant... is totally idiot-proof. It loads the film, advances it after each exposure and rewinds it into the cassette. Point and shoot is really all you have to do. I was extremely sneery about such cameras when I was young and thought all non-SLRs contemptible. For the less interventionist sort of shot there's nothing at all wrong with them, and they would be ideal for the fashionable discipline known as "street" photography. With the right light, a roll of Delta 100 and some fresh DD-X I look forward to some nice results.

CERVICAL SPINE ANATOMY CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM legal art
The nervous system can be divided into the central nervous system (brain and spinal nerves) and the peripheral nervous system (somatic, autonomic and enteric components). The somatic peripheral nerves carry messages between the spinal cord and body. The sensory nerves carry messages towards the brain, such as information about pain, pressure, temperature and joint position. The motor nerves carry impulses to the muscles to control muscle contraction/relaxation. legal art.
The spinal nerves within the vertebral canal form the spinal cord. The spinal cord starts at the base of the brain, and passes down the vertebral canal. legal art.
The nerves leave the spinal cord through gaps between the vertebrae (intervertebral foramina), and travel to all parts of the trunk and limbs. legal art.
The nerves that leave the neck, or cervical spine, go to the arms.
The nerves that leave the chest, or thoracic spine, go to the chest and belly. legal art.
The nerves that leave the lower back, or lumbar spine, go to the pelvis and legs.
The vertebrae provide protection and support for the spinal cord, in the same way that the skull provides protection and support for the brain. legal art.
If a nerve is irritated by chemical inflammation or physical compression or traction, it may not transmit its messages correctly, or it may spontaneously generate new messages. An irritated motor nerve may not transmit its impulses to its muscle, leading to weakness or paralysis of that muscle. An irritated sensory nerve may not transmit its sensations, leading to a sensation of numbness. The irritated sensory nerve may generate its own impulses to the brain, which can be perceived as paresthesia (pins and needles) or pain in the region of the body that normally transmits along that nerve.

An Australian couple, smart and fun, who I'd met and toured with weeks earlier in Czesky Krumlov.
- I arrived by train from NE Slovakia, stayed at a crowded youth hostel while I spent 2 full weeks in Budapest and saw a heckuva lot. The city's under-represented in this stream (as most of my trips have been til I went digital in 2008). The Hungarians are vigorous and they'll fight and they fought the Turks (off and on for @ 150 yr.s), the Austrians, the Soviets and Romanians in WWII, the Soviets in the 'uprising' in '56, and all comers, and often paid the price in the destruction of their cities. Much renovation can be unhelpful too (whereas "poverty preserves".) Any surviving medieval ruins are precious in Hungary (see my comment to my photo taken in Esztergom). The author of a blog on Medieval Hungarian art writes that "[a]s a result of [so much] destruction in the center of the [Hungarian] Kingdom, the history of medieval art in Hungary has to be written relying heavily on monuments from more peripheral regions - such as Upper Hungary and Transylvania, areas located in present-day Slovakia and Romania. This situation requires strong cooperation among medieval art historians from the region." jekely.blogspot.com/2010/09/destruction-of-centers-of-med... And so Budapest struck me as a late 19th/early 20th cent. confection (but with some really outstanding art nouveau), much of it, like Heroes' square and much of Andrassi st., built in the 'Eclectic style' of the period and in a hurry for the famous millennial commemoration of the Honfloglolas (the migration and arrival of the Magyars in 986) a yr. late in 1897. Having spent 2 weeks in the incredible time-capsule that is Prague and 2 or 3 more in baroque and renaissance Czech and Slovak towns, anything reconstructed or faux-medieval, like Fishermen's bastion, seemed inferior, whether or not that's unfair to say. But there were some amazing highlights in this city which I'll get to.
- FISHERMEN's BASTION (late 19th cent.) and the MATTHIAS CATHEDRAL (14th cent., renovated in the 19th): My first day I headed to the elaborate, faux-medieval Fisherman's Bastion in Buda with its sweeping views, the equestrian statue of King St. Stephen, and toured the adjacent gothic Matthias Cathedral, renovated in the 19th cent. in 'organic Hungarian art-nouveau' in the tiled roof and the interior paint job, but with some medieval sculptural bits too. It was originally completed in the 14th cent. and was the setting for several coronations. The Turks used it as a mosque for almost 150 yrs.
- I toured and took in the following.:
- CASTLE HILL: The grounds of the neo-baroque royal palace on Castle hill, which is covered in restored baroque and renaissance (?) bldg.s, and 2 or 3 with copious bullet holes remaining and preserved from WWII as a testament.
- History (relevant to Castle Hill, etc.), the Soviet siege of Budapest in 1944 in WWII.:
The 108-day siege of Budapest was one of the bloodiest of WWII. By Oct. 29, 1944, the Soviet offensive had advanced to the city with the Soviet troops split into 2 operating divisions (I'm quoting from Wikipedia here and I'll fact-check sometime, as the number given for the advancing Soviet troops was 1,000,000; Is that possible? - "The overall strength of the Soviet forces in the Budapest offensive was 719,000, [per] some sources" [Google AI]), and on Dec. 26 they seized the road to Vienna, completing the city's encirclement and trapping 33,000 German and 37,000 Hungarian soldiers, as well as over 800,000 civilians (again, per Wikipedia). "Refusing to authorize a withdrawal, Hitler had declared Budapest a fortress city (Festung Budapest), to be defended to the last man. ... [But] it was a major target for Stalin" with the Yalta Conference impending. Urban warfare raged and resupply became a decisive factor in an extremely cold winter. The Axis position deteriorated in Pest and "on Jan. 17 1945, Hitler agreed to withdraw the remaining troops from Pest to defend Buda. All 5 bridges were ... destroyed [following the evacuation] including the famous Chain Bridge, dating from 1849." On Buda's hilly terrain, artillery and fortifications sited at a height repelled assaults and slowed the Soviet advance. "Nearby, Soviet and German forces were fighting for the city cemetery for several days amongst shell-opened tombs." The citadel on Gellért hill fell after 6 weeks of fighting on Feb. 11 when the Soviets launched a heavy attack from 3 directions simultaneously. Soviet artillery then dominated the entire city and shelled the remaining Axis defenders who "were concentrated in less than 2 square km.s." The Soviets advanced to Castle hill and on Feb. 10, following a violent assault, they "established a bridgehead on the Hill, while almost cutting the remaining garrison in half." Glider flights with re-supplies and parachute drops had ended a few days earlier, but Hitler STILL forbade the German commander to abandon Buda or to attempt a breakout. Nonetheless, on Feb. 11 some 28,000 German and Hungarian troops began to stream NW away from Castle Hill in 3 waves and with thousands of civilians, but with the Soviets awaiting in prepared positions. The 1st wave surprised the Soviets in the heavy fog and many escaped (5 - 10,000 to wooded hills NW of the city and beyond, and 600-700 troops to the German lines). But the majority of escapees were killed, wounded or captured, and the commanders were captured. The remaining defenders surrendered on Feb. 13. German and Hungarian military losses were high, with entire divisions having been eliminated. Budapest lay in ruins, with more than 80 % of its bldg.s destroyed or damaged. "With the exception of 'Operation Spring Awakening', launched in March, the siege of Budapest was the last major operation on the southern front for the Nazis. The siege further depleted the Wehrmacht and especially the Waffen-SS. For the Soviets, the siege was a final rehearsal before the Battle of Berlin. It also allowed them to launch their offensive on Vienna. On April 13, 1945, exactly 2 months after the surrender of Budapest, Vienna fell." (all Wikipedia) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yyje8I5pYb4
- On a city bus in the late 90s in Burnaby &/or Vancouver, I got to talking with a little, old Hungarian ex-pat who had been a soldier for the Axis and then a POW held by the Soviets during or just after WWII, and he was fascinating. He said he survived the Soviet prison camp because he's a little guy and was able to live on the meagre prison diet, whereas 'those big German soldiers' starved to death. (The prognosis wouldn't've been good for me either at 6'4" and 250 lbs.)
- Today, the palace is largely a reconstruction, with various statues and monuments including that of the mythical Turul bird gripping a sword at the Corvinus gate. "In Hungarian tradition, it presumably originated as the clan symbol used in the 9th and 10th cent.s by the ruling House of Árpád." (Wikipedia). According to legend, in 896 the mythic bird dropped its sword (yes, it had its own sword) in what is now modern day Budapest, indicating to the peripatetic Magyars that the area was to be their new home.
- Some original parts and bits of the castle have survived and are now incorporated into the castle's museums. The Palatinal crypt, first used as such in the 1770s, has survived and is now part of the Hungarian National Gallery, which I missed. And a 'Gothic hall' "is one of the most important surviving examples of secular Gothic architecture in Central Europe, built by King Sigismund of Luxemburg in the early 15th cent." (How to see it? Is it part of a museum?) What's been reconstructed and how and why, and what was destroyed in the war and then later under the Communists in the 50s and 60s, when "the palace was gutted", is confusing and is written about in this lengthy Wikipedia entry. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buda_Castle
- I took the funicular of course. And I climbed Gellért hill in Buda to the liberty monument (a woman standing atop a plinth holding up a huge leaf - ?), for the famous view of the city on both sides of the Danube.
- A day was spent in the informative Budapest History Museum in the castle complex on the hill with my focus on the earlier artifacts, incl. those of the local Celts of the early 1st mill. AD. (I recall lots of fibulae, some in the shape of cicadae and others designed to resemble cross-bows I think). I read everything and looked it all over, so I didn't get very far. (I planned to return to tour a large room or space with medieval sculpture, but didn't.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6fGGoUbrd8
I toured and took in the following.:
- In Pest, the high, domed St. Stephen's basilica (1851-1905), and did some self-guided walking tours in the area of the Danube, up along Andrassi blvd. to Heroes' square (see my photo), etc.
- A guided tour of the incredible Hungarian Parliament, comprised of 691 rooms with 20 km.s of stairs, restored since WWII, one of the planet's most impressive and beautiful bldg.s, built to announce Hungary's 'arrival' and enfranchisement by the Austrians following so many decades of rebellion and strife, with Budapest's assumption of the title of co-capital of the 'Austro-Hungarian empire'. (Read more about it in my description to a photo of its dome and about the 'Holy crown' of Hungary on display in its 'Dome hall'.)
- I had a coffee and dessert in the famous, opulent 'Cafe New York' (1894, Italian renaissance in style) in the New York Palace hotel, one of those things a tourist has to do in Budapest. www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2zfVMTsIHc
- Szoborpark with its display of Soviet monuments uprooted from @ town and moved there to form a collection, and with bombastic Soviet music playing on a loop (see my photo);
- Some of the 'City park', home to Vajdahunyad castle (1890s), the scale model of Hunyadi castle in Hunedoara, Romania, in a composite with other famous Hungarian bldg.s built for the millenial celebrations in 1896 or 97. (The anniversary of the Honfloglolas was 1896 but I've read that the commemoration was postponed a yr. to 1897 as preparations were still underway in '96.) While I saw the complex from the outside I didn't tour it, which was a miss, it sounds interesting. But I would tour the real, much larger original in Transylvania a couple of months later.
- A day in the National art gallery on Heroes' square, best known for its collection of works by Spanish masters, incl. 5 masterworks by El Greco. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/Agony_in_the_...
upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/El_Greco_-_Th...
- I attended a performance (I forget of what or by whom) in the beautiful (!) neo-renaissance and neo-baroque Hungarian State Opera House (1875-1884), and which was surprisingly affordable.
- 3 bldgs. designed by Ödön Lechner and toured at least 1. I saw his famous bank bldg. as well as I could with its lines of bees climbing up to beehives at the edge of the roof, the Geological Institute (which I think I toured too) with the globe on top, and the Museum of the Applied arts which I toured for most of a day. The video in this link is dated but gives a clue as to the wealth of 'organic' Hungarian art nouveau in Budapest.: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr1pfdqWzKk Lechner's 'Museum of Applied arts' is seen from the 9:05 to 9:43 min. pt.s, the Geological Institute from 9:44 to at least 10:12, and his famous bank from 10:38 to 11:00. Here's a video with some more of the local art nouveau with a focus on Lechner's bank, and with some interior shots taken in the superlative Gellért baths (see below). www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZVzMOFjoDk
- The 1-km.-long labyrinth of tunnels under the castle with modern art installations but which was cheesy and which I don't recommend. I like cheesy things that are fun or funny or just diverting, but the labyrinth was boring, and that's more than okay if it's edifying, but b.s. shouldn't be boring. I've learned that the tunnels are now promoted as the home of "the labyrinth's prison" where Vlad Tepes, Dracula, was held prisoner in Buda by Mattei Corvin. Ka-ching! There's even a 'Dracula's chamber.' It's really a cheese-fest now. And the Romanians have begun to make similar claims for Hunedoara in Romania. They're untrue. While Vlad did visit Hunedoara to meet with warlord John Hunyadi, Corvin's father, he was held by Corvin upriver from Buda for many years at Visegrad, where they don't mention Dracula (or at least they didn't when I was there that year - ?). www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSdNQEAECQE
- The labyrinth is a natural cave reinforced with side walls dating to the 13th cent. "Early residents used the caves for food storage and for water supply. The deep tunnels were also a refuge in times of war or fires, and were used for 100s of years by the residents of Buda Castle. Eventually they were forgotten in time. The winding caves were rediscovered and investigated in the 1930s with city development, and bones were discovered, leading to an exhibition of artifacts and remains. Cellars were opened up, and a winding, maze-like path was revealed." www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-places-europe/mysterious-... Where are the 'artifacts and remains and bones'? Surely I could learn something about the tunnels' history and use after paying to walk through them. They must've been used in WWII. ?? I can't even find a wikipedia entry for them.
- THE BEST things to see and really experience in Budapest were the thermal baths: the 16th cent. Rudas Turkish baths with a central octagonal pool under a 10 m. wide dome with its small, coloured skylights, a very atmospheric time-capsule; and the similar but smaller 16th cent. Kiraly Turkish baths, claimed to be the oldest in town; and the amazing art-nouveau Gellért thermal baths in the Gellért hotel, Wowee. Visitors swim in geothermal pools within and surrounded by a secessionist work of art. Imagine touring a beautiful art nouveau palace by swimming through it. I missed the much larger, much more crowded Szechenyi baths complex, my biggest miss in Budapest. Much of it's outside in a huge enclosure, and I was in Budapest in the winter, but the pools are naturally heated.
- The park and the 13th - 16th cent. ruins of a Dominican convent and church, home to Ste. Margaret from 1242 to 1271, daughter to King Bela IV, on the 2 1/2 km. long, 1/2 km. wide Margitsziget (Margaret's Island) in the Danube at dusk and after dark, and read all the plaques.
- The huge, restored 'Great' or 'Dohány st. Synagogue' built from 1854-'59, the largest in Europe with capacity to seat 2,964. Entering it was like entering a basilica with its familiar structure and layout, but with oriental or 'Moorish revival' decor. Bombed by the fascist Hungarian 'Arrow Cross Party' on Feb. 3, 1939, it was used "as a base for German Radio and as a stable during WWII, suffering severe damage from aerial raids during the Nazi occupation and then during the siege of Budapest. The damaged bldg. again became a prayer house for the much-diminished Jewish community in the Communist era. Restoration and renovation began in 1991 and was completed in '98." It's unique in having a pipe organ. In fact, "Fransz Liszt and Saint-Saens had played the original 5,000 pipe organ built in 1859." (Wikipedia) www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPUyjl5qxDo
- The holocaust memorial in the Raoul Wallenberg Holocaust Memorial park nearby, the metallic 'Tree of life' designed by Imre Varga, a representation of a willow with the names of local victims of the Shoah on individual leaves. At least 400,000 Hungarian Jews were murdered by the Nazis. 1/4 of the city's population was Jewish in the 19th cent.
- The apothecary or 'Golden Eagle pharmacy museum', a preserved old drugstore with rows of old jars on shelves, many drawers and such with displays.
- The famous 308 m. Chain bridge /b/ Buda and Pest, guarded by its lion statues. Construction began in 1842 after its engineers returned from a fact-finding mission to London, and was completed in 1849. This and all the bridges crossing the Danube in town were blown up by Axis troops as they retreated to Buda in mid January, 1945. The Chain and the Elizabeth bridges were later rebuilt, the latter being the longest traversing a river anywhere until 1926.
- A day trip (a full day) to the town of Szentendre (St. Andrew) founded no later than the 12th cent., @ a 1/2 hr. away by train. I toured a few churches there, 2 of which are Serbian Orthodox and 1 of those (the Transfiguration church, 1741-46) is a museum, climbed a steeple for the view, and toured the Serbian Orthodox ecclesiastical art (Szerb Egyházi) museum, in an introduction to Orthodox Christian art which I'd see so much more of later and further east that trip. Szentendre had become a Serb settlement in the 18th cent., and today the red-tiled-roofs of its houses, its Orthodox churches aligned to Jerusalem, its twisty roads and alleys, and its 'Mediterranean atmosphere' are preserved. "During the Great Turkish War, Serbs were invited to emigrate to Hungary to evade the Ottoman Empire, and so they (and many Dalmatians) immigrated en masse to the Szentendre region in 1690 where they left enduring traces on the town-scape and its culture." (Wikipedia) In the 18th cent., Szentendre had a Serb majority, but which fell to a minority in the 19th, and by 2001, the Hungarian population of the total of 22,747 inhabitants was 21,001, with 225 Germans and only 100 Serbs. The town was known for its Serb architectural and ecclesiastical heritage in 2000. Do I get a sense from the net that there's been some rebranding since and that it's not so Serb now, just Hungarian? And I wonder what kind of profile Szentendre has today in Serbia. One 19th and 2 18th-cent. Serbian poets hailed from there or lived there, incl. Ignjatović, and Venclović who translated the bible from Old Slavonic to Old Serbian. (!)
- At the Szabo Marzipan museum in Szentendre I saw a terrifying, life-sized statue of Michael Jackson in chocolate, spray-painted silver, in his outfit for the 'Bad' video (and with a facial expression like the one seen in this video at the 1:05 min. pt. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vA4uLGPbBck ). It wasn't the same edible Michael Jackson statue that they have now which I've just seen online. It was at the entrance, I don't think I toured that museum.
- I went out of my way to see some local Roman ruins, all in an urban setting incl. some under something of an overpass, but the centre of the Roman city of Aquincum, famous throughout the empire for its mineral and thermal springs, in the Archaeological park with its museum, was closed for the season. Another miss. Most of the bronze components of the most complete Roman 'hydraulis' or 'water organ' found anywhere were found here, and in their original order, dating from 228 A.D. The organ had a pneumatic structure, consisted of 52 pipes and 4 registers, and was sounded with 13 keys. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrRVYfZDKAM
- From Budapest I headed north along the Danube to Visegrad by train or by bus, and then to Esztergom and west to Gyor, etc. ...
This is what boredom does to you on the road
Cruisin' down the highway
We went on many many scary, dark, narrow roads when we were driving. On one particular road, we were driving to our hotel in Peach Springs from the Grand Canyon. It was pitch black and with no people, car, or house in sight, we were completely alone. My dad bravely drove through this desolate road. Suddenly, we saw a light appear ahead and it looked like the north star, only on the ground. As we continued down the road, I realized that it was a passing car so when we passed each other, I slowly turned my head and peered through the dense darkness. I saw a woman. This woman looked like a witch. She had a crooked, big nose with deep and defined wrinkles around her face. I quickly looked away, but her face was still trapped in my mind even when we reached our hotel.
