Still life for a theme...

Ha! Using layers, no less. I haven't worked with graphics/photo software in many many years. This is actually how I got into the IT group as my last 15/20 years have been spent. I was darned good at desktop publishing at one time. In fact, I started my work life as a type setter and moved into newspaper layout. Lots of water has flown under the bridge since I could read a tape from a typesetting machine by looking at the dots that were punched out.

The Cat in the Hat

or cap, to be precise.

Léontine: "This is Melville, he is smelly, disgusting and old. The Giants say that he is getting the most he can from all of his 9 lives and he is some sort of medical miracle."

--- ---

Melv had cat flu as a kitten which has left him with a very compromised immune system and a tendency to do "productive sneezes". He also has thyroid problems and is on meds for that ... However, he is also very cute and loveable!

Pickles Resting in a Chair by Derek Marshall

Pickles hasn't had a seizure in 2014. We're hoping that his thyroid is maintaining function with the aid of his prescription supplement.

Beefy Resting In The Grass by Dave Smith

82 35

Here's Beefy again!

This was taken yesterday afternoon in a lovely field a few blocks from our house on the way back from a long and lovely riverside nature walk with the Beefster.

He had been walking, running, climbing, and exploring for almost 3 hours and he was happy to take this opportunity to lie down in the cool grass!

It was a cool and overcast day, with spots of rain, so Beefy really enjoyed the cool, moist grass and I didn't mind lying down in it either to get these shots of him!

I really like this photo as it captures Beefy lying in his most comfortable position, with his back legs folded out begind him, like a frog.

He had actually not been laying down for long when this cute pair of fast and super cute little black puppies came over and started introducing themselves to Beefy, so he promptly got back up and started running around with them!

He has so much more energy since we put him on his thyroid pills last year, he went through a long period where he was a very un-energetic and not very active dog!

Now it is like he is a young puppy again!

Hope you are all having an excellent Monday!

Many of us in Canada are annoyed that Canada Day falls on a Tuesday (tomorrow!) this year so we got the Tuesday off, not today, so don't have a proper long week!

All the best in the rest of this new week, my friends!

People never quite believe it when I say I used to be heavy (hello, thyroid) but here's my BA class ring from 2006. I haven't worn it in years because it needs resizing. #NSV by emperatrix_

Catch but Don't Keep by Chris Crowley

8 10

Yesterday, feeling truly deprived of fun, having been off work for two days dealing with plumbing problems, I didn't think I'd have much of a chance to grab photos. It was a gloomy, and drizzly looking day, so I knew anything "big" was out of the question.

On my way home from making a bank deposit for work, (also not fun on your day off!) and picking up thyroid meds for Tigger, I drove down Magnolia Avenue on the way home. I glanced to the left at the little park that's nestled there in between homes, and decided on the spur of the moment to pull in and see what I could grab. It had been years since I took shots there, and I didn't really expect anything great, since the park is so tiny. I was pleasantly surprised!

Aside from the pretty overlook/ fishing areas, like the one in this photo, there were all kinds of photo opps that didn't seem to be ruined by a murky looking day. First, of course, was the wooden walkway and gazebo areas, but the best was the wildlife, which showed up as if on cue!

The first thing I noticed was the tangled, and very interesting spider webs along the dock, which looked like dirty, white, cotton candy, and were so strong that they had small twigs dangling in them! I was grateful not to see the spiders that made them, but curious as to what kind they were! Later on, I saw one of the most unusual spiders around, one that I'd only seen one other time. It looked like a crab, with a body that was huge in comparison to its short legs! I almost walked into its web as I poked by the trees along the edges of the pond, which was a reminder to me that while nature is beautiful, you still have to watch where you're going when viewing it, especially here in Florida!

I knew from experience that the far side of the pond was where herons sometimes hang out, so I made my way around there, taking some really great shots of the delicate flowers and plants along the bank. There was a small heron back there, and it was extremely wary and difficult to shoot! I kept trying, though, and got a few shots, mostly out of focus since the bird moved quickly to evade me.

As I walked around the back side of the pond, five White Ibises flew in! I managed to capture one pretty good in flight shot, and a few not so great flight and landing shots, but they were very cooperative on the ground, letting me get quite close, and so I managed to get great pics of them! One seemed to be an adult, while the others seemed younger and a little smaller, some still sporting their juvenile, brown feathers mixed in with the white. They followed the adult's lead as to whether to trust me or not.

Two squirrels were checking me out, too, and came very close. I could tell they were used to people feeding them, and had lost their fear of people. Next time I go, I will have to bring peanuts and bread for the birds and squirrels!

All in all, it was a great little shoot, and I captured close to 400 shots in no time at all! Of those, I liked over half, so I have lots to work on when I'm bored!

The title of this pic comes from one of the park's rules, which is that you can fish there, but must toss the fish back in after you catch it! I think that's a little cruel, myself, but I suppose it's better than killing them all! Apparently, it works well, since the only thing I didn't manage to capture for you was the really BIG fish that kept hurling itself in the air, probably trying to catch one of the dragonflies that were skimming the surface! The fish I saw must have been about a foot long, which is far bigger than I would have expected in such a small pond.

Unfortunately, the last inhabitant of Magnolia Park to "greet" me was a rather healthy looking mosquito, who hitchhiked a ride in my car, and was still there waiting for me this morning. Next time, OFF. I like the outdoors, but I don't like bugs very much! I've often thought what it would be like in a colder climate where there might not be as many mosquitoes, but many of my contacts who live as far north as Alaska, have mentioned the "state birds" that attacked en masse during shoots, so I don't think it's that bad, after all!

Hope you enjoy some of the upcoming pics. I was getting bored with beachy shots. Thanks again to Don Briggs for the terrific camera that handled the DOF so well! What a huge difference in quality that maes! If you see the last pics I took at this place, you'll see what I mean. Many of these were good enough to post SOOC, but you know, that wouldn't be ME! I love my Canon 40D!

Too Fast by Stuart Rankin

Bonkers moved too fast in his carrier at the vet... (We were worried about him - we thought his thyroid or his diabetes was getting worse - the vet thinks he's probably fine for right now and just had a bad spell.)

Vet Update. Jake is not well. (#4043) by neuro

26 101

We had to take Jake back to his regular vet yesterday afternoon.

His breathing was rapid >35/min and he was listless. Not his usual "Jake" sell.
Dr W wanted to see him in view of the echocardiogram findings last week. (moderate cardiac hypertrophy.)

Dr W said the echo findings was "NOT good news."
He did 2 chest X-rays of Jake's lungs but did not see any fluid build-up or pulmonary edema.

Dr W contacted the cardiologist specialist and found out Jake's thyroid was normal. So that is not the cause of his heart problems. (...Unfortunately..... as the thyroid condition could be treated by medication.) Also not due to high blood pressure as his BP was normal.
So Jake's condition is due to genetic causes.

There is no real treatment for the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Only supportive measures used to treat the symptoms.

For now Jake will start on an blood thinner called PLAVIX, (Like Aspirin) to prevent any stroke or blood clots from his malfunctioning heart. (1/4 tab a day)

Today Dec 4th I came home from night shift and Jake ate well, but still breathing rapidly.. NOT panting...NOT purring. He is lying next to me on my bed.

Please pray for my special boy. I hope he can still have many good days ahead and bounce back, but I will not let him suffer.

One day at a time I guess.
Thank you all.

Happy 15th Birthday KEIKO by Red~Star

49 113

'Despite all that's going on with Jasmine right now, I couldn't let this day pass without posting a picture of my birthday girl Keiko who turns 15 today.

Background:

She was found by my dad when she was a wee kitten. Someone had abandoned the litter by a dumpster. Dad couldn't keep her so my mom [my parents were divorced] took her and named her Keiko [ Japanese for "special child"]. Mom didn't know how to care for cats and Keiko was getting in trouble with neighbors, so she became mine at age six months.

She is the BEST cat ever. Mellow and very low maintenance. Won't you please wish her a happy birthday?

Update on Jasmine.

She had a restful night. She's "stable"....eating well and she enjoyed her walk along the river this morning. We are not getting our hopes up. We're trying to enjoy her every day that she feels well and wants to be here. When that changes, we will act accordingly.

The best camera is the one that's with you [30/52] by Jasmine Murray

3

"The best camera is the one that's with you" - became my motto this week, namely because my brain fog got the better of me (yay thyroid!). It is safe to say in the future I will check I actually packed my camera body...(I ended up going to London, a trip that this time did not involve a hospital trip but rather a trip entirely for fun and the intention to go shooting) with all my lenses I needed but not my trusty EM-5 as I left it at home (doh!), which basically meant I was carrying dead weight in the form of lenses with me. I'm thankful that the tech available these days meant I had a camera on hand albeit within my phone. Incidentally after visiting the Tate Modern's Shape of Light exhibition and the Tanks - No Ghost Just a Shell and Joan Jonas Reanimation installation (latter pictured ft. me) I felt a bit naked without a actual camera and ended up investing in a Holga 120N and two rolls of 120 film - Rollei Crossbird and Fomapan 200 from the Photographer's Gallery to use during the rest of the day.

Thyroid Disease by akshada chavan

Thyroid disease is said to occur when the thyroid gland, located in the neck below the thyroid cartilage or Adam`s Apple, produces either a more or lesser amount of hormone required by the body. The thyroid hormone is responsible for regulating various body functions such as growth, metabolism, etc.

"You were worth it, old friend, and a thousand time over." by Madison

7 10

I have not been on here in over a year, but I think it's time to finally let all who knew Gus, know what happened after my last post discussing him.

As some of you knew, Gus wasn't doing well and I had gotten a job at a veterinary clinic, where I was taking him to be checked out. Turns out his thyroid level was all messed up, we never could figure out the right dosage for him; it seemed to always change. But still, I have had Gus with me since I was 5 years old, and I just sensed that something was off. Back in March, of this year, a tumor started growing on Gus's toe that one of our vets said "didn't look good." So how did my 13 year old boy handle such a thing? He went through surgery, and had his toe amputated. He was such a trooper. Just one day after surgery, he was walking on his own. Months went by, I declined sending it in for a biopsy due to him seeming MUCH better with walking after the surgery.

So, does anyone remember the German Shepherd I rescued named Kimba? July 3rd of this year, she was diagnosed with lung cancer. My heart was broken when I looked at those x-rays and saw those four tumors growing on her lungs. She is currently going through treatment and is doing well, but slowly declining in health.

Well, I guess that just wasn't enough for our family.

8 days after we discovered the news on Kimba, I took Gus in because his appetite was slowly decreasing (this had been going on for a month, he went from eating dry food to soft food. He turned 14 on May 3rd, so I assumed he was just eating soft food in small portions due to his teeth hurting or something). But then he started gagging after eating. So thinking something was wrong inside his mouth, I took him to work with me to have the vet look at his teeth, and to check his blood work again just in case. I am still learning about certain symptoms, or maybe then I was in denial, I am still not sure. When I described what he was doing, the vet insisted we do x-rays on his stomach, and I told her to do whatever she needed to do.

I remember that day, when I went into the room to talk to the vet, how I felt cold so suddenly and goose bumps formed on my arms when all my co-workers quickly cleared the room so that it was just the vet and I. I remember how dizzy I felt, how broken I felt inside before anything was spoken of.

I knew.

I knew in that moment, before she said a word, before she showed me anything.

His WBC was so high, and x-rays showed that his entire stomach was made of cancer. Not one spec in his tummy was left untouched. I asked "How long?" and didn't make a sound when she said "a few days, maybe a week. I'm so sorry Madison."

Gus went on for another two weeks. He ate anything he wanted, whenever he wanted it. When he started getting weak, I decided to take him to the beach one morning in hopes of lifting his spirit. His bones ached, he was gasping for breath when we finally approached the water, and for a good ten minutes he just sat and looked out at the ocean. He looked so noble, so wise. He suddenly stood up, and rushed towards the water. I rushed after him, knowing he was not strong enough to swim, and when I was trying to pull him back, he fought so hard that both of us tumbled into the water. It was SO cold. So cold that I gasped and yelled "Gus, are you kidding me!!' But you should have seen the look in his eyes, the way he let the water hold up his weight, and the way he leaned his head against my chest so he wouldn't go under. I couldn't help it. I laughed the happiest, most care free laugh I have ever laughed in my entire life. I just threw my head back and laughed and took in that moment. His body had betrayed him, it was slowly slipping him away, and the waves brought him back to me.

He never saw the ocean again.

I remember the way he stopped and looked back when we were walking back to the pier.

It's like he knew that this was it.

He almost seemed sad to say goodbye to it.

He told me when it was time.

I woke up on the morning of July 22nd, and he would not stand until I lifted him up and walked him outside. He would not eat, he would not drink. Nothing I said or did would get him to wag his tail.

I took him to work with me, went to find his vet when she got to work, and mumbled "I think it's..." before my eyes started to sting. She nodded, went to listen to his heart, and said "He's ready. He's tired." He spent the rest of the morning with me behind my work desk. He seemed content to be with me, but still would not wag his tail.

At lunch, my manager let me leave for 2 hours, and I took him home so that my parents could have him for a few more hours. We did his paw print, and took him to the field one last time (pictured above), just like we did for his sister, Honey, on her last day. The drive back to work was the hardest. I knew I would see him in just a few hours when my parents brought him back in, but the drive back to work was when it hit me, that the drive from my job to my house on my lunch break was the last car ride I would share with my best friend.

When it was time, and my parents pulled up with him, one of my co workers went out and had to carry him in because he was finally too weak to walk, he wouldn't even lift his head to me.

I paced in the hallway for a few minutes before deciding I was ready to face it. When I walked in the room, my parents were sitting on the bench crying, and Gus was on a big cozy blanket on the floor. I walked around the counter and said "Hey old man," and what I'm about to explain is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

When he heard my voice, without hesitation, he lifted his head and looked up at me. For a split second, his face looked like a puppy again, and for the first time that day, he lightly thumped his tail against the floor. That's when I knew that this was the right thing to do.

I knew that it was his way of thanking me for letting him go.

I laid on the floor with him, and pressed my forehead against his. For the first time since I found out he was dying, I finally started to cry.

But I smiled too.

I was literally sobbing and smiling at the same time, telling him "you did so good" and "you're going to be with your sister again" and "I love you so much."

It was truly the most peaceful goodbye I ever shared with someone.

I was so happy for him. He was finally free.

And you know what? Even though he could no longer drink or eat, he shared a beer with my dad before they brought him in. He may have not had a good last meal, but he sure as hell had a good last drink.

And we had each other.

And that right there was enough for the both of us.

So sad that Charlie lost his battle with cancer today. A year ago he was diagnosed with hyper-thyroidism, which was being treated with medication, but in the late summer we discovered he had lymphoma. Medication helped make him comfortable, and i was so proud of how he fought against his ailments, but sadly things came to an end.

I lost a great little companion today, but i have so many happy memories in my heart.

Charlie cat, he will be forever missed ♥♥♥

Please see him bigger, by hitting 'L' , then pressing F11, and while you're at it, please 'bump paws' with him.

Thyroid by Zubeir

"I was feeling tired all the time. I knew something wasn’t quite right. I put it down to a busy lifestyle. It was the run up to Christmas. There were lots of social occasions. It was around that time I found a lump in my neck. My first reaction was, ‘I’m sure it’ll be nothing’. I told myself I’d go get it checked out in the New Year, which I did. They started tests and I had a biopsy. It was a stressful and anxious few weeks. The longer it went on the more I became convinced there was something seriously wrong. They eventually diagnosed me with thyroid cancer. Surgery was the only one real option for me as it had spread. The night before I had a bad anxiety dream about not being able to speak. It was a very scary and lonely time.

In some ways, recovery was the hardest part for me. I went from being an active, healthy person to feeling weak, tired and incapacitated. I couldn’t walk around or fend for myself. My life revolved around medication. They made me feel more tired, nauseous, and fed up. Swallowing pills was the last thing I wanted to do. But I was determined to fight it and get back to my old self.

When something like cancer comes into your life, it puts everything into perspective. Especially what you want in life. Not long after my treatment I started a new job. It felt like the start of a new chapter. And even though my cancer chapter is still ongoing, I don't let it define me. I've learnt a lot from my situation. I want to help others who may be going through the same things I did. And I'm determined to raise awareness. Thyroid cancer is still fairly unknown. There aren’t many sources of information out there. And also highlighting young adults in the cancer world. The media portrays cancer in two ways: elderly people and children. There's not much in-between. That's something which I'm passionate about and trying to change. I feel hopeful that one day things will settle down and I can look forward to life after cancer.”

Yesterday I took him to the vet for his annual booster injection against cat flu etc. The vet said he is losing weight but we knew that. His thyroid is over active but the vet said because he is elderly its best to leave it but he will slowly go "down hill". So sad :o) My reflection is in his eye.

during operation crossroads after the marshall islands were depopulated by the united states for the purpose of nuclear testing residents of the islands of Utirik and Rongelap are used as human guinea pigs to study the effects of fallout on a human population as in Emu Feild in Australia.

the results were horrific especially in terms of congenital mutation.

www10.antenna.nl/wise/index.html?http://www10.antenna.nl/...

Oh fallout, white and fluffy as snow, it descends from the heavens after a nuclear explosion. It's radioactive dust that's created when a nuclear bomb goes off, and its incredibly toxic, and has a tendency to work its way into the food chain. It leads to cancer, death, and horribly mutated babies How do we know this? Because the American Government exposed the inhabitants of Rongelap Atoll to it. Yeah, it would have sucked to live on a Pacific Island in the 50s and 60s, when all this shit was being blown up. This one wasn't intentional, but they sure didn't mind watching the effects. It was after they detonated a lithium deuteride bomb, which ended up producing a much larger explosion than originally planned, combined with strong winds that bore the dust over the islands. They called the severely malformed offspring of the island's inhabitants "jellyfish babies".

In the 1950s, Britain was desperate to have its own nukes, and undertook a number of atomic tests in a picturesque corner of the Pacific known as Christmas Island. Dubbed Operation Grapple, they detonated a series of atmospheric nuclear devices, without bothering to evacuate either their personnel, or the inhabitants of the island. Some reports say that instead of protective gear, the servicemen were just told to turn their backs from the explosion, and cover their faces with their hands. The men reported a flash so bright they could see their bones through their hands, and so strong that it knocked many over. And afterwards, they all ate fish from ocean, swam in the lagoon, and drank the local water. The American Government continued to perform tests in the area for years. Both sides deny any long term ill effects to the servicemen or local population.

Resolution on Nuclear Weapons, United Nations, November 24, 1961

RESOLUTION ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS

United Nations, November 24, 1961

General Assembly Resolution 1653

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,

Mindful of its responsibility under the Charter of the United Nations in the maintenance of international peace and security, as well as in the consideration of principles governing disarmament,

Gravely concerned that, while negotiations on disarmament have not so far achieved satisfactory results, the armaments race, particularly in the nuclear and thermo-nuclear fields, has reached a dangerous stage requiring all possible precautionary measures to protect humanity and civilization from the hazard of nuclear and thermo-nuclear catastrophe,

Recalling that the use of weapons of mass destruction, causing unnecessary human suffering, was in the past prohibited, as being contrary to the laws of humanity and to the principles of international law, by international declarations and binding agreements, such as the Declaration of St. Petersburg of 1868, the Declaration of the Brussels Conference of 1874, the Conventions of the Hague Peace Conferences of 1899 and 1907, and the Geneva Protocol of 1925, to which the majority of nations are still parties,

Considering that the use of nuclear and thermo-nuclear weapons would bring about indiscriminate suffering and destruction to mankind and civilization to an even greater extent than the use of those weapons declared by the aforementioned international declarations and agreements to be contrary to the laws of humanity and a crime under international law,

Believing that the use of weapons of mass destruction, such as nuclear and thermo-nuclear weapons, is a direct negation of the high ideals and objectives which the United Nations has been established to achieve through the protection of succeeding generations from the scourge of war and through the preservation and promotion of their cultures,

I. Declares that:

(a) The use of nuclear and thermo-nuclear weapons is contrary to the spirit, letter and aims of the United Nations and, as such, a direct violation of the Charter of the United Nations;

(b) The use of nuclear and thermo-nuclear weapons would exceed even the scope of war and cause indiscriminate suffering and destruction to mankind and civilization and, as such, is contrary to the rules of international law and to the laws of humanity;

(c) The use of nuclear and thermo-nuclear weapons is a war directed not against an enemy or enemies alone but also against mankind in general, since the peoples of the world not involved in such a war will be subjected to all the evils generated by the use of such weapons;

(d) Any State using nuclear or thermo-nuclear weapons is to be considered as violating the Charter of the United Nations, as acting contrary to the laws of humanity and as committing a crime against mankind and civilization;

2. Requests the Secretary-General to consult with the Governments of Member States to ascertain their views on the possibility of convening a special conference for signing a convention on the prohibition of the use of nuclear and thermo-nuclear weapons for war purposes and to report on the results of such consultation to the General Assembly at its seventeenth session.
