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).

• historically "Little San Juan" Puerto Rican neighborhood • in addition to Art District, Wynwood has Fashion District and Technology District, and is directly south of Miami's Design District
• Wynwood began as 160 acre subdivision developed in 1917 by Downtown “racket” (variety) store owner Josiah (Joe) F. Chaille (1874-1970) & super-salesman Hugh M. Anderson (1881-1941) • Chaille's store was located at Miami Ave/Flagler St, current site of Burdines (now Macy’s), which purchased his business
• Anderson, was a principal in development of Miami Shores, Venetian Causeway & Biscayne Blvd. • ran contest to name new subdivision, awarding a lot to winner Mrs. S.H. Ward • winning entry was WYNDWOOD • city of Miami soon built public park in subdivision, dropped the "d," naming it Wynwood Park, which was later renamed Roberto Clemente Park, 07 Jul, 1974, in honor of the Puerto Rican major league baseball star who died on a humanitarian mission to Nicaragua • History of Wynwood Miami -Miami-History Blog

Here we are on the peripherals of the Concours d'Elegance, and Bob and Matt are taking a test drive in the Jaguar XJ. The video is available at www.sweetingmedia.com, and www.youtube.com/powerbrakeservice#p/u/5/rztGfndOtIg. The ride was smooth, the power was definitely there, and the interior was... well it was very nice! Personally I would go for the XK, because I'm not into the back of the roofline on the XJ, but I have nothing else bad to say about it.

About Power Brake Service:
We build and Rebuild endless varieties of new and classic brakes for every type of vehicle and trailer. The company was started by George Sweeting in 1950 who worked for the railroads and Lockhead, it is now run by his son Bob Sweeting who learned about modifying cars while drag racing in the 60's, and Bob's son Matt Sweeting (who grew up in all of this) is taking over more and more responsibilities. We were a Warehouse Distributor for Bendix for 20 years until they sold they sold their Power Brake Division to Bosch, which is when we became a special modification contractor with Bosch for their power brakes - which come on most new American vehicles. Our ability to design brake systems, rather than just replace rotors and pads, has taken us to amazing places and we have worked on amazing projects. We have:

Peripheral on the package
Don't care to settle in
Time to feed the monster
I don't need another friend
Comfort is a mystery
Crawling out of my own skin
Just give me what I came for,
then I'm out the door again
Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get just what I need
Lie to get what I crave
Lie and smile to get what's mine!
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.

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.

Bristol Omnibus Co's no. 89 was one of a group of lesser services, operated from Muller Road Depot, which linked the northern to the eastern suburbs of the city. The "main drag" was by way of Muller Road and Lodge Causeway. I have vague recollections of seeing the 89 parked at its terminus in Soundwell Road, Kingswood, just around the corner from the Tizer factory, when I used to pass by on the 88s.
I'm not sure of the date of this photograph, but the rather snowy early months of 1979 are probable, with Monday 12th February being favourite. Since their introduction in 1973 the "city" fleet's Leyland Nationals had been concentrated at Muller Road Depot, and by this date I think it had no other single-deck type. The photograph was taken in Muller Road, not far from the vehicle's home depot. The Stottsbury Road fare stage has been provided with two bus stops, one for the 89-91 group and one for the 22/3, probably because of peak-hour queues generated by the neighbouring Roman Catholic secondary school.
CERVICAL SPINE ANATOMY NERVOUS SYSTEMS DERMATOMES rheumatologist illustrations
Sensation from the skin is relayed along limb and trunk peripheral nerves to the spinal nerves that enter the spinal cord. The spinal cord then relays the sensation message to the brain and our awareness. rheumatologist illustrations.
Each spinal nerve relays sensation messages from a particular area of skin. This skin area is called a dermatome, and each dermatome is named after the spinal nerve that carries its message. rheumatologist illustrations.
For instance the C5 dermatome on the shoulder uses the C5 spinal nerve near the base of the neck to relay its message to the brain. rheumatologist illustrations.
There are seven spinal nerve pairs in the neck, called C2 to C8, which supply dermatomes on the head, neck and arms. This is useful to know as the sensation of pain in a dermatome may be due to irritation to the corresponding spinal nerve that is causing it to send a misleading message to the brain. For instance, compression of the C5 spinal nerve by a herniated disc or degenerative osteophyte in the neck can trigger in the brain the sensation of pain or numbness over the C5 dermatome at the shoulder.

The Emulation Assignment 01: Uta Barth
dWIT (Detailed What It Took):
1. Which photo(s) inspired you. I gotta say that the Uta photos that inspired me the most were those that were most similar to what I already like. Some of the images in the book White Blind (Bright Red) do work for me, like Like Nowhere Near #4.
2. What you liked and/or didn't like about Uta Barth's style. Mostly, her work just did not strike the right nerve...I just don’t get it. When I first started reading about her style, I thought I might be figuring out where she was coming from. But the more I read, the more I did not understand. For me, in the years between her Ground series and the material in White Blind (Bright Red), Uta shifted her approach quite a bit (maybe some would say “evolved”). Her later work includes subjects, focal points…a contradiction to her earlier work, but I like it better.
In the course of studying Uta, I was also put off by some of the writing/interpretation associated with her work. For example, the essay provided by writer Jan Tumlir the book White Blind (Bright Red) was a bunch of psychobabble and complete turn off. I think that if you substituted another photographer’s name, the text would be just as applicable.
In another instance it is stated “Uta Barth aims her camera at the everyday places that are ignored or overlooked, taking note of the incidental and the passage of time, while being deeply engaged with looking at nothing.” link (from). I believe that statement is in no way unique to Uta’s work and that we will find that some of the photographers we study over the coming months will fit that quote nicely.
My favorite is “In a very simplistic way, Barth’s Ground series is to photography what karaoke is to music.” link
I like the idea of not having a easily discernable subject, or no subject at all. However, I think this can also be successfully attained without the OOF/abstract approach.
3. Your thoughts and/or thought process behind your assignment submission. See number four below.
4. How your photo reflects elements of Uta Barth's style. I tried (perhaps as the lazy photographer referred to in the original assignment post) to work toward capturing form and light in a manner consistent with Uta’s OOF images. However, as I am still trying to gain some consistency and understanding in capturing form and light with a focused subject, I am sure that my Barth-esque submission only grazes the surface of truly emulating her style.
5. What you gained as a photographer from studying Uta Barth's work. I certainly gained a greater appreciation of abstract imagery and that it is hard to make an out of focus shot look purposeful. I have also learned to better appreciate the other types of photos that I am consciously or unconsciously attracted to. Learning is always a good thing, and I have learned much. Just image the knowledge gained between now and the end of this year-long effort.

Here we are on the peripherals of the Concours d'Elegance, and Bob and Matt are taking a test drive in the Jaguar XJ. The video is available at www.sweetingmedia.com, and www.youtube.com/powerbrakeservice#p/u/5/rztGfndOtIg. The ride was smooth, the power was definitely there, and the interior was... well it was very nice! Personally I would go for the XK, because I'm not into the back of the roofline on the XJ, but I have nothing else bad to say about it.

About Power Brake Service:
We build and Rebuild endless varieties of new and classic brakes for every type of vehicle and trailer. The company was started by George Sweeting in 1950 who worked for the railroads and Lockhead, it is now run by his son Bob Sweeting who learned about modifying cars while drag racing in the 60's, and Bob's son Matt Sweeting (who grew up in all of this) is taking over more and more responsibilities. We were a Warehouse Distributor for Bendix for 20 years until they sold they sold their Power Brake Division to Bosch, which is when we became a special modification contractor with Bosch for their power brakes - which come on most new American vehicles. Our ability to design brake systems, rather than just replace rotors and pads, has taken us to amazing places and we have worked on amazing projects. We have:
Hydro-Boost Conversions
Vacuum Brake - Conversions, Upgrades, and Modifications
Wilwood and Brembo Disc Brake Kits
Master Cylinders
Stainless Braided Hoses
Classic Car / Muscle Car Stock Brake Restoration and Rebuilding (Corvette, Camaro, Chevelle, Mustang, Ford & GM Truck, Mopar, Rolls Royce)
Light Truck / Medium Truck Hydro-Boost Replacement Parts and Conversions
Medium Truck / Heavy Truck Hydro-Max, Air brake, and Air-hydraulic systems - and Hydro-Max Conversions for the obsolete Delco Hypower
Conversions for the obsolete Buick Grand National, T-bird SC, Land Rover, Jeep and all other electric brake booster / electric powermasters
Modified brakes for Altered Bed Fleet Vehicles
Modified sensitivity for the Handicaped
Disc/Drum and Disc/Disc Proportioning Valves
We have worked on everything from propane powered trams to roller coasters, cranes, parade floats, multi engine street rods, classic european cars, double decker buses, and a Freightliner racing truck. Our favorite is working on big engine muscle cars that make too little vacuum and need more stopping power.
April 2016: Work on the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) road bypass between Kingswells North junction and Craibstone Junction (Aberdeen Airport)
St Helen, Bishopsgate, London
1995 priest's doorway by Quinlan Terry.
Here we are amidst the Dubai-ification of Bishopsgate, and yet the west frontage of St Helen is rather pleasing in its little courtyard beneath the Aviva building. It is a different story to south and east, however, for although the Gherkin has created a focus for St Mary Axe, the peripherals of the space are messy and ill-considered, and beside St Helen the car park entrance has all the charm of the neglected bit of a provincial shopping centre. However, all this will go for the construction of the City's tallest tower, the Undershaft building, and the two lower storeys being left open will give St Helen and its near neighbour St Andrew Undershaft the chance to talk to each other for the first time in centuries.
Uniquely in the City, St Helen has a double nave, and this is because it was the church of a Benedictine nunnery, established here in the early 13th Century. There was already a parish church on the site, and a new nave for the sisters was built to the north of the parish nave. There was a major restoration in the early 17th Century which gave the exterior much of its current character, and the church was far enough north to survive the Great Fire. The Blitz also did little damage here, and St Helen might have continued being a pleasant if rather sleepy medieval survival among the office towers were it not for two significant events.
The first was the Baltic Exchange bombing on the night of 10th April 1992. A one tonne semtex and fertiliser bomb was exploded by the IRA immediately to the south-east of the church, its intention to cause as much damage to property as possible. In this it succeeded, for the £800 million repair bill to the City was almost twice as much as the entire repair bill for all the other damage caused by IRA bombs in the British Isles since the current spate of Troubles began in 1969. The south wall of the church was demolished, the interior blown out by blast damage. Repairs were already underway when the second event to shape the current church occured. On the morning of 24th April 1993, a Saturday, the IRA exploded another one tonne bomb, this time of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil, on Bishopsgate, to the north-west of the church. Thus, the little church found itself exactly between the two largest terrorist bombs ever exploded on the British mainland. This time the west front was demolished, and blast damage took out all the windows and furnishings again.
The building's rebirth was very much a reflection of the character of its congregation. Unusually for the City, St Helen is very much in the staunch evangelical protestant tradition. The pre-1992 church had been full of the clutter of those resacramentalising Victorians, but controversially the architect Quinlan Terry was commissioned to design an interior more fitting for the style of worship at St Helen. Anti-modernist, anti-gothicist, anti-conservationist, Terry is an architect so far out of kilter with the mainstream of British design that it sometimes seems as if he is working in an entirely different discipline, running in parallel with the rest of the architectural world. Previously, his most significant church design was for Brentwood Catholic Cathedral, which has been described as having all the style, grace and charm of a shopping centre food court. It was never going to end happily, either for the conservation bodies or the City traditionalists.
Terry's reinvented St Helen is a preaching box for protestant worship. Memorials have been relegated to the south transept, and the rood screen moved across it to separate it from the body of the church. The two naves have been united in a cool, square, white space, the focus of the church turned to face the north wall. It is as if the Oxford Movement had never happened. And yet it is all done well, with that infuriating veneer of seemliness that so much of Terry's work conveys.
Well, you wouldn't want all medieval churches to be like this, but churches are constantly changing to suit the style of worship of the day, and so it seems fitting that St Helen should have been reinvented this way. Much of the outcry at the time must have been because the Bishopsgate bomb vaporised St Ethelburga, St Helen's near neighbour, a small surviving medieval church, and it was felt rather willful that another medieval church was being gutted by those who might have been thought responsible for saving it. Me, I'm not so sure. Church communities should have their head to design their churches to suit their current worship, otherwise we would not have the extraordinary accretion of historical artefacts that the great majority of England's 16,000-odd medieval churches now contain. St Helen is a good example of what can be done by people with passion and enthusiasm in the face of apocalyptic destruction. This was true after 1945, and it was true after 1993. Mind you, I'm not sure we'd have the confidence to do the same thing now.

The Neuropathy Trust Ltd was a registered charity established 1998 and based in Nantwich, Cheshire. The role of the charity was to raise awareness of “peripheral neuropathy and neuropathic pain’ both amongst the public and medical professions as well providing information and support to sufferers, but not direct medical advice. The Neuropathy Trust was wound down in 2014 and its role superseded by NeuINsight.
Neuropathic pain, as its name suggests, is pain arising from damaged nerves especially where the nerve’s myelin sheaths have been affected and it is estimate that 5% to 7% of the population within the British Isles are affected by it. The affected nerves can be anywhere in the body or peripheral nervous system and suffers tend to experience sharp, burning or shooting pains in various degrees of severity. In most cases, neuropathic pain is difficult to diagnose and its underlying cause often undetermined.
Traditional painkillers and oral analgesics tend to be ineffective in reducing neuropathic pain. A course of tricyclic anti-depressants taken over a prolonged period of time or powerful painkillers such as Gabapentin (Neurontin) or Tramadol taken over a short period of time are also known to be effective in reducing neuropathic pains. Other than that, some sufferers appear to respond well to alternative-medicine physical treatments and/or psychological counselling.
The badge depicts an American bald eagle and the Trust’s motto carpe diem (sieze the moment). Would anyone know for what purpose this badge was issued, was it for a fund collector, volunteer worker, etc?
