No one left for the straight guys

Same sex marriage is in the headlines in Australia.
Then I read in a posting from America:-
A group of mostly Protestant and evangelical church leaders, representing churches with over 20 million members, are asking the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) National Council meeting this week to retain the current BSA stance on sexuality. The May 22-24 meeting will consider a proposal to prohibit “discrimination” based on “sexual orientation or preference,” while leaving in place the current prohibition on openly homosexual Scout leaders.
Back in my grandfathers day women were made to ride a horse side saddle as this could be make a woman to go off so to speak. Rules were usually made for a reason in those days. Can I marry my horse they might ask? Then there is female circumcision in some countries why? Because  there is not much to do and sexual activity had to be curbed and this was the way to do it. These things were done back in the times of Jesus and they didn't know any other way.
Then what will they ask  to marry next?
 Is there is no one left for the straight guy.
Food for thought!!!

Mommy's Project: Organizing

Organizing is something I use to think I was good at.  Then over time I realized I'm not really that good at organizing, but I am good at moving things from one pile to another.  I don't know if it is the fact that I'm thirty-five (half way to 70) or what, but lately I've just really been wanting to clean up my life.  This includes organizing things better.  You say "like what", and I say "where to begin"...

My basement is truly a basement- it has poor lighting, minimal windows (just one sliding glass door  to walk out patio, and is constantly in a clutter.  Organizing the basement would be a great start to making the space more enjoyable to spend time in, but I start the organization process, but never seem to finish it.

"Aha!- that is what I am- a half-ass Organizer!  I purge and move things around, but never really organize the area.  Along with the basement would be my closet/wardrobe.  I've started the process and have two piles of clothes that need to go to Goodwill, but haven't finished the organizing.  I still don't have all my summer outfits put away and all of my winter sweaters out.  So of course I'm not making the most out of my wardrobe, which is another way in which I think organizing the closet/wardrobe would help me.  I have a lot of clothes, but sometimes feel like I'm constantly wearing the same thing over and over and over again.

Organizing my life would of course include organizing my time better.  I need to look at my back post of the book about how to manage your week, not just your day, and by looking at how I'm spending time, maybe that would be a help to organizing my time better.

Organizing my office at work would be another big endeavor.  I tear out all of these articles thinking that I will get to them and read them, but I don't seem to get to it and so the piles of unread articles keep piling up.  Along with the articles are papers that I haven't looked at in years, yet I'm fearful one day I just my need that college paper on this and that to help me with my current project, etc.  I know, I know, dump it and move  on and that would be a great step at  organizing my work space and hopefully also organizing my work time.

So what to do- well I think getting a project done, even if it takes all day, would be a fine step, but then I feel guilty, because while I'm doing all of this organization what am I missing- what are my kids doing while I take all day to organize the basement?  If they are in the basement while I'm trying to organize you know what will happen- toys will be out, tears will be shed about that toy or this toy being put up for adoption at Goodwill.  So do you ship your kids off with friends, family, hubby for the afternoon and miss out on family time.  Oh the fun of being a mom and constantly feeling like you are on a see saw.  I think first step for me is to get my organization priority list made and try to conquer what I can.  If any of you have great organizational tools or ideas I'm all ears.

1 comment:

  1. It's hard to find the time to dedicate to a full-on organizing project, especially with little kids around. I like to get the kids involved by having them sort, help move, or decide what to keep and not (which is often overruled by Mommy and Daddy). Otherwise, we do our best and use a whole weekend to get things done. For our basement (unfinished), we took an entire month, doing something each day/night, to get it done. PITA, but worth the pain!

Internet Findings of the Week for July 10, 2015

This week I’m celebrating communities coming together to help out others, historical technology, bridging the gender-pay gap and NYC subway trains!

Video of the week

3D Printed Arms Changing Kids’ Lives

I love it when technology, ingenuity and generosity come together to help people. A global community is making awesome 3D-printed prosthetic hands for a fraction of the price of traditional prosthetics, and distributing them to children around the world. Anyone who has a 3D printer can get involved by visiting e-Nable and signing up to become a hand builder. And anyone who needs a hand can apply to get one custom made. The hands come in cool colors and kind of look like Lego!

Photos of the week

An Abandoned Soviet Space Shuttle

A Russian space shuttle. Photo by Dave Casey via Wikimedia Commons

It’s hard to believe that such high-tech, and historical machinery like a space shuttle could be left to decay for 20 years, instead of being preserved or put into a museum. An inquisitive photographer found exactly that in an abandoned hangar at a Russian space launch base in Kazakhstan. He took some amazing photos of this state-of-the-art facility, and even got inside the old space shuttle to find that much of the expensive equipment is still there. (Disclaimer: I have no way of verifying how or when these photos were taken, but they are interesting nonetheless.)

Initiative of the week

NY Bar Tackles Gender Pay Gap

This Brooklyn bar (not far from our place) had an awesome idea to help make it up to women for the gender pay inequality. Since women on average make only 77% of what men make, the owners of this bar decided that on July 7 (7/7) women only had to pay 77% of the drinks prices. I’ve heard this place also has good live music so I’m definitely going to check it out soon!

App of the week

Subway Cars Field Guide

I use the subway almost every day and often notice subtle differences between the trains. They have different seating layouts, different carriage/car widths, and different color schemes. But I had no idea about the different ages of all the subway trains. Who knew some of them are more than 50 years old! And that’s why some of them are more likely to have the heating or AC break down. Try this awesome guide from WNYC for yourself to find out how old your usual subway trains are.

Chicago International Movies & Music Festival

I'm heading out to Chicago in April for the Chicago International Movies & Music Festival. I'm going specifically for the premiere of Freaks In Love, the Alice Donut documentary co-directed by my good pal Skizz Cyzyk.

We know the story of the bands that went international, led by Nirvana, but Freaks in Love is the story of the rest of the scene. Featuring Jello Biafra and the Meat Puppets.
In person: Directors Skizz Cyzyk and David Koslowski, along with members of Alice Donut

Where I'm From

One of the great delights of being with the fabulous folks in the Diocese of Mississippi for their 10th Annual Retreat at the Gray Center last weekend was getting to share the adventure with my wife, Lori.

It was her brilliant idea to use the "Where I Am From" poem template to get us started on our "Are We Running With You Jesus?" theme for the weekend -- so on Friday night we all had a chance to back up a little and spend some time reflecting on where we were from in preparation for reflecting on where we're going -- where we're "running" -- next.

Here's the template we used if you want to try it for yourself. Here's what I came up with ...

Where I'm From

• I am from plaid skirts and knee socks; from the Helm’s Bakery truck bringing bread to the back door and the milk man leaving bottles on the front porch.
• I am from a big stucco house with squeaky screen doors, dogs on the couch and the smell of eucalyptus trees in the afternoon sun.
• I am from the California live oak, palm trees and the Santa Ana winds.
• I am from never missing opening day at Dodger Stadium and staying up on election night until all the precincts have reported in; from Bill & Betty and Worth & Tillie; from Browns and Bundys and Gustafsons and Hesses.
• From “when I say jump, you say how high” and “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.”
• I am from the Book of Common Prayer and “Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones.”
• I’m from Los Angeles, Minnesota and Atlantic City, from casseroles with cream of mushroom soup and Beef Wellington on Christmas Eve.
• From saving bread crusts to feed the ducks at the Arboretum, from listening to Vin Scully on the patio on warm summer nights and from fishing for sunfish with a drop line from Aunt Anne’s pontoon on Lake Geneva.
 • I am from Eagle Rock, Ventura and Santa Barbara; from unconditional love and constant critique; from the double feature and the seventh inning stretch; and from sometimes you win and sometimes you lose -- but you always dress out.

apennine mountains

The Imbrium system - the second of the Moon's four geological phases - began 3.9 billion years ago with the formation of the Imbrium Basin after which it is named, and ended 3.6 billion years ago.

The Apennines, together with several other of the Moon's most spectacular mountain ranges, are formed of layered breccias thrown up by that same impact, which may have been caused by a decaying lunar satellite.

I’ve waited six years for this moment: Sachin Tendulkar

He cheered every wicket when the Chennai Super Kings were batting. When Mumbai Indians’ win was a ball away, he was the first one to jump off his seat in the dugout and jump onto the field to celebrate with his victorious team-mates. (Also Read: CSK vs MI - Final Report & Stats: IPL 2013)

Even while talking to IPLT20.com after the match, he kept looking at the trophy. Finally, pointing towards it, he said, “I can’t wait to get my hands on that trophy”! (Also See: IPL 2013 Winner Mumbai Indians Celebrations - Pics)

After spending 23 years playing cricket at the highest level, accumulating almost every individual batting record in the sport, being part of world’s No.1 Test team and winning the ODI World Cup, Sachin Tendulkar remains a wide-eyed cricket lover.

The enthusiasm of the 40-year-old is so genuine, it can make some of his awestruck teenage fans look jaded.

Excerpts from our chat with him:

What does this moment mean to you?

I have waited for this for six years and six years is a long time. But it’s never too late. This has been an outstanding season for us; we have thoroughly enjoyed every moment with each other. It’s been really solid. The goal for this season was to win the trophy and I am glad that we have been able to do that.

You were the captain when MI last reached the IPL final in 2010. Was this like déjà vu for you?

It was good to reach the final but this year we made it till the end. Whoever is the captain, it doesn’t matter as long as we lift the trophy. That is what you play for and Sunday was that moment. It’s a different feeling to get your hands on that trophy and I can’t wait to celebrate with the team. We’ve really worked hard for it. After two and a half months of sheer hard work we have been able to win this trophy ours. It’s a wonderful feeling.

With the likes of John Wright, Anil Kumble and Ricky Ponting coming in, did it take a bit of pressure off you as far as mentoring was concerned?

Yes, it helps having such great former players working with the team and guiding them. Even earlier we had some good leaders and this year has been fantastic. As far as my pressure goes, it is always there (smiles). I’m always under pressure to go out and deliver, irrespective of whether I am a captain or just another player. You have your expectations and you want to do your best. You want to deliver at every occasion.

What do two greatest batsmen of their era talk to each other when they play for the same team?

(Laughs). Unfortunately, we didn’t spend much time together batting in the middle and I would have loved to do that. I knew Ricky a bit before the IPL, sitting in the opposition tent. Here we sat in the same tent. We have spent some quality time with each other in the evenings, having casual dinners and during the pre and post-match discussions. It’s really worked well and he is a fantastic guy.

Has he brought that Australian-ness with him in the team?

He has. We have got guys from West Indies, New Zealand and all over the world. Even from India we have guys from all parts of the country. We have been lucky to have developed a strong bonding between different cultures and that brings the best in us.

Dilemma over selection of CMD, HPCL continues

hpcl 03

Even though PESB has finalised to hold the selection interview for CMD, HPCL (on October 15, 2015) the dilemma continues whether PESB would be able to keep with its schedule. ‘Indianmandarins’ reliably learns that Ministry may be given exemption from PESB route and be allowed to go for serach-cum-selection route. Reportedly, the final call has to be taken by the ACC in a day or two.

The search for suitable candidate as successor of Ms Nishi Vasudewa (CMD, HPCL) goes on but no conclusion has emerged as yet.

PESB held a selection interview (on August 06, 2015) wherein nine candidates had appeared (07 candidates from HPCL, 01 from GAIL & SECI each) before PESB but all it went in vain as PESB wanted to see more candidates.

The second round of effort by PESB is expected next week but ACC has to take call whether it would allow the Ministry (P&NG) to go for search-cum-selection route.

Keep watching.

A few reasons why we read out loud everyday

For about an hour every evening, my husband and I read out loud to one of our children.  The Man and I swap them every night, heading to our chosen corners of the house, and we each have our own books that we are reading through.  Currently girl child and I are working our way through Terry Pratchett's Discworld series and Boy child and I are on the second book in a Minecraft fan series called The Elementia Chronicles by Sean Fay Wolfe.  It will take a month or two to read an entire novel with a child this way.

There are so many reasons to regularly read out loud to your children and the Internet has probably said all the super legit and adult reasons already, so I don't have to.

BUT, I do have a couple of highly personal and self-interested reasons to read out loud wonderful books that children fall in love with and ingrain in their psyche.  They may not be the main motivators, but I think they fall under the category of perks.

Such as: Nearly Immobile Children.

Children rarely sit still enough to be able to cuddle them and still sip a glass of wine.  I drink red and am a terrible laundress. Not spilling is a big issue for me.  Children rendered almost motionless as their fertile imaginations weave the story into stunning pictures in their heads while tucked under my book holding arm leaves another arm and its attached hand free for wine glass lifting. The better the book, the more likely wine will go on the inside of me instead of the outside.

Channeling Their Favorite Characters As A Motivator.

When I ask my daughter to do something, she sometimes does it.  When Hermione asks her, she just does it.  Hermione has more sway than I because Hermione is always right and look what happened to Harry when he didn't listen to her, right?  Being the actual 'voice' of a beloved character gives me the Power to make almost any request seem like it's coming from someone more sensible and lovable than me.  I make sure that my book character voices are distinct and consistent, enhancing my ability to instantly invoke their authority outside of story time.  Perhaps some may think of this as manipulative, but I prefer to think of it as bringing in reinforcements and avoid having to get all shouty.

(Though, sometimes I do feel a bit smug when girl child is all, 'Why you gotta bring Hermione into this, you know I can't resist?!' and do a little Vincent Price laugh in my head.)

Getting To Read All The Great Children's Books You Would Never Read On Your Own.

I know I missed a lot of great books when I was age appropriate for children's literature because I was so eager to get grown up.  Getting permission to take books out of the adult section was a hard won privilege at my local library and once I was allowed to leave the children's room, I never looked back. Until now.  Because, man, children's books are the best.  Like catching up with Watership Down and The Wolves of Willoughby Chase. But that's actually another topic.

What's just as great is reading contemporary children's literature that you may have never of even thought of reading.  Like the Bone graphic novels.  Reading graphic novels out loud, I admit, presents a particular challenge, but the boy and I actually worked out a pretty good system (though it cuts into my wine drinking somewhat).  I would never have the patience to read it on my own, but it turned out to be a great read with all sorts of interesting talking points (like, what is Thorn wearing now?!)  I also get to read stuff that may I want to read but couldn't really justify it since I have all sorts of 'adult' reading to do.  Like The Sisters Grimm series by Michael Buckley or Adventure Time and Minecraft fan created literature which have given me great insights into the cultural worlds of my kids and happen to be pretty funny and entertaining.  In general, I may not read Kate DiCamillo in a coffee shop by myself, but I will happily read her out loud to my kids in that coffee shop (and I'm convinced that at least one or two adults around us being forced to listen in are also happy about it).

What are some of your personal reasons for reading out loud to your kids?

This week in the kitchen

Monday/11-Mar-13: Disappointing day floor shopping. Easy dinner. Sautéed some shallots and shrooms, added a bit of flour, then the sauce left from the turkey roll plus a bit of water from rinsing the pitcher. Plopped the turkey roll slices in this to warm up. Plus some trio rice and some steamed broccoli. For afters we had a bit of Langres, a cow cheese.

Tuesday/12-Mar-13: Dinner was Potatoes and Chard with Green Curry Sauce (Bishop, p408), which was unusual and quite good. Served with white rice as suggested, but think brown rice would have been nicer.

Wednesday/13-Mar-13: Shopping today. While packing groceries, Ed discovered the missing tomatoes that I bought last week and couldn't find. Since he didn't remember packing them, I just assumed, they'd gotten left behind somehow. I did look in the bag, but didn't find them. Bought more this week so need to be aggressive using them up.

Dinner was Salmon in a Vibrant Sauce (web), the vibrant sauce being cilantro, ginger, garlic, chilies, lime juice, and turmeric. Very good. And an interesting way to cook the fish. After the fish marinates in the sauce for ten minutes or so, some of the marinade is used to coat the bottom of a skillet topped by the fish and the rest of the sauce. Pop the lid on the skillet and cook 5-10 minutes until the fish is done. Easy and delicious. Served with trio rice and some sautéed veggies (zucchini and tomato).

Thursday/14-Mar-13: Twas a dinner for IHCC this evening. Topped off by Strawberry Crumb Pie (web), in honor of Pi Day. I made about a quarter recipe, since that's all the strawberries I had (yesterday's impulse buy). That was just enough for two. It was good too.

Friday/15-Mar-13: Dinner was Dan Barber's Cauliflower Steaks with Cauliflower Purée (web). This was surprisingly good. Served with a big salad with some lardons for a treat. Last bit of Langres for after.

Saturday/16-Mar-13: Cold, blowy day. I tossed the shrimpy salad thing that was on the menu plan and opted for Stir-Fried Shrimp with Broccoli and Garlic-Chili Sauce (MC). This is an old, very easy recipe from Cooking Light or some such, that I've adapted for two and spiced up a bit. Served over rice.

Sunday/17-Mar-13: Yogurt on overday.

Lunch with friends, followed by a concert. Just fruit for dinner.

Progress on goals
This week: #1 IHCC/COOKBOOKS: yes, #2 VEG/FISH: 4
This month: #3 PASTA: no, #4 BREAD: no

Tunnel, depressed highway are out in plans for new I-81

Jun 23, 2014

Syracuse looks less likely to go through its own Big Dig, as state highway transportation officials recommend a tunnel or depressed highway are not the best options for a rebuilt Interstate 81 through Syracuse.

Transportation officials have been considering several variations of four root options for a new I-81: a rebuilt viaduct, a street-level boulevard, a tunnel, or sunken roadway.

"The alternatives that were recommended to be moved forward meet the project goals. The ones that we’re recommending to not move forward, don’t meet the project goals," said DOT spokesman Beau Duffy.

The state DOT released more details and new recommendations on those plans ahead of a Thursday public meeting and public comment period.

A tunnel - one variation of which was five miles long and 81 feet deep - or depressed roadway would be too expensive, too hard to build, or too impactful to overall traffic flow in Syracuse, according to Duffy.

"Both of those alternatives would actually end up dead-ending several streets because of the way the roads would need to be constructed and connected to the highway north and south of Syracuse," Duffy said Monday.

Also on the chopping block is a western suburb bypass for the highway and use of West Street as a bypass.

The 1.4 miles of elevated Interstate 81 that travels through Syracuse is crumbling and state and federal highway officials are in the midst of a lengthy process of deciding how to rebuild the roadway.

(Read all of WRVO's I-81 coverage)

While a rebuilt viaduct seems to have a 50/50 shot of being the ultimate solution, a stacked viaduct will not be recommended, Duffy said.

Credit N.Y. Dept. of Transportation

A rebuilt viaduct would be wider, slightly taller and have a faster speed limit than the one there now. A few dozen buildings in the city would have to be torn down to make room.

If the street-level - or urban - boulevard makes it through, the eastern bypass of I-481 would become I-81, with sections improved to handle faster speeds. The roadway through the city would become a state route.

Other new details include the possibility of a new Exit 18 further south, near Burt Street, to handle traffic to the University Hill.

Exits 19 and 20 on the northern side of downtown would be redone.

This report is "not the final word," said Duffy and public comments could convince planners to revive an idea or consider a new one.

Thursday's information center is at the OnCenter in downtown Syracuse. Presentations will be made at 4 and 6 p.m. Public comments will be taken through Sept. 2. Duffy said they will be holding neighborhood meetings throughout the summer as well.

Chemistry at Home: How To Set Up Your Lab for those interested

A concise introduction to home chemistry and methods/utensils for an
improvised chemistry laboratory setup - for those interested in setting up their very
own home chemistry laboratory.

Are you interested in having the means to try chemistry experiments at home?

Make a lab.

We will be using various methods shown in this lecture.

 We will try to minimize cost wherever possible and thus use the most readily available materials.

However, I will present a more costly albeit better quality option for some of these. Read with an open and resourceful mind and be able to expand on these ideas.

Note: No experiments are involved.

Step 1: The Home Chemistry Lab Overview.

Intro: Chemistry is a fascinating and beautiful subject. It is also very complex and the source of many headaches.

The fact that you are reading this shows you harbor a certain curiosity for it already.

Or maybe you've randomly stumbled into this instruct able by fate... In any case, the first step to starting your lab at home is planting the seed of curiosity for the subject. Get to know the subject at the level you want by visiting your library or through online

Mind you! Curiosity is like a fire- it will die if not sustained.

In order to keep that desire for knowledge kindled, you must constantly ask yourself  these questions, such as "what is an acid?" or "what happens when bread rises?". More rigorous questions in the area of chemistry are of the form : "Can I make X compound
from household items? Will X react with Y to form Z? Can I purify this compound? Can I find if this household product contains X compound?" and so on.

If you want a great foundation for the science, there are a variety of resources out there.

Setting Your Goals:I hope that people of all backgrounds will read this instructable. With people from all levels of knowledge on the subject, it is up to you to decide where you want to take this.

Some examples of great goals are as
- I want to teach myself chemistry and I will take up home chemistry as a
supplemental learning tool.

- I will create a semblance of a lab in the summer so that I can take up
chemistry as a hobby.

- I will create a lab environment for homeschooling.

- I will create a temporary lab for the upcoming science fair in order to work
comfortably in a home environment.

- I want to augment my own home lab by extracting some ideas from this

Once you come up with your own goal, it's time to start on a scientific journey.

Step 2: Materials and Tools

The first step in any procedure should be to collect the materials needed. To set
up a lab, a good way to start is to scavenge your garage, kitchen, etc. for useful

Also, you must start a collection of sorts, i.e. keeping in mind not to throw away that liquor bottle you just finished.
Look for these easily accessible items:
-glass jars
-glass bottles
-glass vase
-metal or plastic tubes (i.e. from pens,)
-wire hangers : you can shape these into a number of useful contraptions with
-ash tray : for dealing with molten glass or igniting a substance.
-aluminum cans: top can be cut off with a can opener and used as a container.
-spice vials
-plastic containers and organizers
-latex, neoprene, or nitrile gloves
-boxes (for storing)
-rags or old clothing for cleaning/polilshing
-cloth pins
-glass or steel rod
-scrap wood
-school supply boxes
-clamps and pegs
-super glue
-toothbrush -as cleaning utensil
-spray bottle
-funnel and coffee filters for filtering solutions
-plastic pail for waste
-liquid soap dispenser
-permanent marker
-measuring cup
-paper towels
Might Have to Buy:
-glass medicine droppers, you can also use these as shaping glass
- Metal Polish (optional - some applications for aesthetics as well as
improvised apparatuses)
- goo gone ( or any functional label remover, such as rubbing alcohol)
- flasks
-rubber chair tips
-test tubes
-aquarium tubing
-red and blue litmus paper
-6v battery
-sand paper
-white sticker labels
-Glue gun
-Bernzomatic micro-torch [very much recommended and not that expensive]
-Test Tube Holder
-Homemade alcohol stove Or Camping lamp modified as an alcohol burner
-Wire Stands
-Wire Test Tube Holder
-A scale of reasonable accuracy, such as in food scales.
Of course, this is not a complete list of things you will end up needing, only
some essential ones.

Step 3: Organization and Safety

Organization is crucial in a laboratory. A good way to store utensils is to
separate them into materials, i.e. rubber, scrap metal, scrap glass, chemicals,
etc. The more meticulous one is, the easier it will become to locate needed
materials for a procedure.

Safety First!: There are certain safety rules you must follow, and these should
be present within a given procedure.

As a general rule, ALWAYS Use chemical gloves, an old coat, and safety goggles.

 Do not drink or eat during a procedure. Use closed toe shoes (no sandals). Also, experiments producing gas should be done outside or under a ventilation directing device.
 Remember that a safety shower and wash station is readily available in the home in the form of a shower, sink, or hose.

Acids/Bases: An acid contributes hydrogen cations (protons) to a solution,
while a base donates an electron pair (this is a simplified definition). When
diluting an acid, pour the acid into water not the water into the acid.

Waste: The lab must be meticulously clean while not in use. There must be two
separate waste receptacles: one for hazardous waste (i.e., broken
glass, flammable substances ) and another for regular waste.

For hazardous chemicals, methods of disposing are usually on the labels of bottles. If in doubt, do some research on local recycling and collecting centers.
Labeling: Make sure to always label chemicals stored in vials correctly. A
rigorous approach would require that molar concentrations and safety
information also be labeled.

 Also label storage compartments with their contents
like this,

these compartments would vary depending on the scope of each
lab, though a good rule is to store tools and spare parts separately.

Environment: It is always a good idea to build your lab near a window or well
ventilated area.

Good lighting is important when carrying out experiments.
It's also a good idea to have a designated area outside of your house for
experiments which may require it.

 Always know what you are doing in an experiment, as it may not be stated explicitly that gas products may form.

Lab Aesthetics: A poorly conceived lab will just look like clutter. It is important
to make it stand out - it will add a very nice vibe to your house. You should store
large containers out of sight and only have a few chemicals on display. Also
an eye-catcher is clean and shiny equipment. Have your favorite flask out. Take
Pride in your work. How many people have the opportunity to have a lab in their

Step 4: Glassware

Glass Containers/Reaction Vessels: Glass is certainly a very important material for carrying out experiments. Quality depends on its makeup- borosilicate glass being the most widely used in labs. Only certain types of glass should be used for heating. If you bought lab-grade glass, then you should have no problem heating it. However, it is often difficult to determine the makeup of standard glass used in bottles and jars. Normally, the bottles you've recycled should be safe to carry out most reactions. One instance where glass may not be the best option is when sodium hydroxide is involved. This slowly reacts with glass, so be wary of the instructions in such cases. In cases where glass is reactive, teflon or other plastic containers are used.

Recycled: I use spice vials, jars, and some bottles to store different chemicals and sometimes use them as reaction flasks.

New: I found flasks with corks at the Michael's arts and crafts store for 99 cents. I've boiled substances in these over my alcohol burner and heated sulfuric acid in them  - with no breakage. You will have to buy test tubes, beakers, and graduated cylinders from a lab retailer if you need them. They are also sold as kits at Hobby Lobby. Check your local hobby stores for similar items.

Step 5: Chemicals

Be wary of the safety and storage measures for handling certain chemicals. It is often best to store chemicals in glass vials labeled with their formula and percent concentration.You should keep chemicals with  large containers in their respective areas and only store a small sample of it in your lab. This will save space and time. You will find yourself not having a certain chemical at some point in your amateur chemist career, so I will try to list the most useful chemicals to collect in my opinion.

Chemicals to store:

- Hydrochloric acid
-Hydrogen Peroxide
-Clorox Bleach
-Distilled Water
-Potassium Chloride (salt substitute)
-White Vinegar
-Hydrochloric Acid
-Sulfuric Acid (certain brands of drain opener or at a local auto shop)
-Ammonium nitrate (from instant cold packs)
-Baking Soda
-Lye (sodium hydroxide)
-Battery Chemicals (carbon, zinc, manganese dioxide, and amonium/zinc chloride)
-Stump remover  (potassium nitrate)
-Potassium permanganate

-Battery Chemicals (best obtained from a 6v battery):
  • Manganese Dioxide (found in batteries)
  • Zinc metal
  • Carbon Electrode

Step 6: Heat Source

 Heating: Intrinsic to chemistry is a source of heat to carry out more reaction. I bought a camping lantern at walmart and modified it as an alcohol burner. You can also make a cheap alcohol stove as I later explain on step 7. Another option is to carry out experiments on your kitchen stove, (use personal judgement on this).  In some instances a blowtorch is called for. I have used a micro torch which I bought at Home Depot.  Just make sure you buy some butane fuel for it. Store these items in a cool and dry environment. To heat substances, simply make a stand out of wire and place about an inch above the flame's tip. Use thermometers for precise heating.

Many amateur chemists make the decision of investing on a hotplate and I highly recommend this if you have the funds, as it is one of the most useful pieces of equipment in the chemist's arsenal (can't stress that enough).

Step 7: Shaping Glass Tubes

Certain experiments call for various glass apparatuses which are expensive and hard to obtain. I've used  my micro torch and glass tubes obtained from medicine droppers to make bent glass tubes and have also been able to mend them into larger tubes. However, the best source for glass tubes of all shapes and sizes are online, such as these.  In retrospect, working with these professional tubes is MUCH better and cheaper. An alcohol burner can shape glass tubes  as well, but takes much longer and is less safe. Plastic tubes from pens also readily bend under fire and are much cheaper, but are also of substantially lesser quality and have lesser applications than glass tubing.

Glass Shaping Technique : Exercise extreme caution when dealing with molten glass.

The Process is quite simple, yet difficult to execute at first. Heat about an inch of the glass tube evenly by rotating it slowly around an open flame. Glass melting time varies depending on heat source. Once it's soft, bend quickly into a right angle. Set aside for cooling.

To mend two glass tubes together, simply insert the thin end of one tube into the thick end of another and melt along where they meet using the same rotating process  used to bend them. Once melted soft, apply pressure to make a stronger bond. Note: These make delicate glassware. Be careful in using them.

-You can drill holes in the chair tips we're using as rubber stoppers and fit them nicely to make a gas generator among other things.
Step 8: Making Things

You might find yourself on a tight budget or unable to obtain certain lab items. This is where your creativity kicks in. Try to make lab tools and hardware yourself using wood, wire, scrap metal, etc. Below are just a few examples of such improvised items.

Alcohol Stove Burner: I bought a lantern, but you can make a cheap stove burner from aluminum can and alcohol fuel. There are numerous instructables on this topic, so I won't include it.

Wire Stand/Holder: You can use coat hanger wire to build almost anything. Bend wire into a circle and attach three straight wires of equal length with epoxy putty to make a stand.

Wire Test Tube Holder: I will make another instructable on this subject.

Glass Tubing and Joints: As discussed in the previous step.

Lab Clamp for easy heating: Can be made by drilling a spring grip clip (used for holding brooms, rakes, etc. in place) onto a  stand.

Distilling Aparatus and Clamp: An aparatus that distills made from a wood frame, condenser, and DIY water pump. Serves as a clamp for heating as well.  I will upload the  instructable for this project at some point.
Step 9: On Your Own

Is home chemistry controversial? Has it become a taboo in our society? Unfortunately, clandestine chemistry has been tied to the drug trade and even terrorism. But there is far more to this beautiful art than the negative. I have laid out the main aspects of my own chemistry hobbyist lab. I should point out that I am currently a chemistry student and really enjoy experimentation outside  the world of theoretical textbook work. However, I really encourage anyone to pick up this wonderful hobby that will give you hours of fun scientific intrigue. If you do it right, you can share it with your friends and loved ones rather than practicing it in fear and secrecy.

"...whatever you decide for the future, keep up your interest in chemistry as a hobby. In addition to giving you fun and enjoyment, your chemical hobby will sharpen your powers of observation and reasoning and train your mind for whatever occupation you decide upon for a lifework. "

In progress series: Mission accomplished

So a few things have changed in the design element of this project since my first in progress post.  I was initially going to paint in some gold ropes between the upholstered panels but we decided it was getting too busy.  Also, since my client refers to her apartment as "The House of the Rising Sun"  I was asked to paint a small scene of a rising sun, somewhere in the elevator, she left the placement up to me.

Completed Elevator-Please excuse the non-professional photo and blue tape at the bottom!

Instead of entertaining in her apartment, my client can now entertain in her elevator!  Mission accomplished.

Disclaimer:  This is the most unusual project I have had in the past 8 years I have been in this business but it has also been one of the most fun!

Grasscloth, hot or not?

Grasscloth, do you love it or hate it?

Everyone I knew who grew up with it hates it.  I think, not only has it made a comeback but it is here to stay.  Since wall covering is technically my competition, I guess shouldn't promote it via my blog, but I want to show you that it doesn't have to be your Maw Maw's grasscloth!  It has some very practical uses and can also be used in unexpected ways.

It has a wonderful way or warming up a modern space and making clean lines appear warm and not harsh.

Project in progress: Trompe L'oeil upholstered elevator

Since this blog will also serve me like a sketch book,  I thought it might be fun to show you what I was up to and working on currently.

A few months ago I was approached by a client who has a small elevator going from the ground floor of her apartment building(which is a large New Orleans victorian divided into apartments) directly to her apartment.  Since she owns it, so she decided that she wanted it to be upholstered in red silk.  The interior walls of the elevator are all metal and will not hold upholstery staples, so I was hired to paint it as if it were upholstered using tompe l'oeil techniques.

The client suggested a  playful rendition of red silk upholstery, gold rope in between each panel with gold french knots at each of the four corners of the diagonal panels.

Below is my inspiration for the project:

Red silk fabric

Gold rope between panels
Gold french knots at the four corners of the panels
My color inspiration: Overall painted fabric needs to be a rich, regal red.
My design inspiration: I want the elevator to ultimately feel like this.  Instead of green, the fabric will be red and gold rope on the diagonal, with gold french knots at each corner.  I will use paint and some shadowing techniques to make the flat surfaces appear to be three dimensional!

My sample which was approved by my client however, we both agreed the red needs to be deeper and more "regal" and the knots aren't quite right.  This sample uses the materials I will actually use on the walls of the elevator; architectural paints, glazes and varnishes.

A watercolor sample of what one wall of the finished elevator will look like.

I leave you with this definition: Trompe L'oeil is french for 'deceive the eye'.  A technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects appear in three dimensions.

When I finish, I will post pictures of the completed project.  Have a great week!

The talented Mr. Hicks

David Hicks has and always will be one of my favorite designers and inspirations. He has designed everything from carpets, to men's shoes, to the interior of a BMW and has done it all well. His use of color and pattern can't be beat and even though his most important work was done over thirty years ago it still looks modern today.

I read on Habitually Chic that Ashley Hicks, David's son's home is Oxfordshire, England is in this month's issue of World of Interiors.

I took a look at the photos, which I wanted to lick they were so gorgeous and was blown away by the decorative painting in almost every room of the house. Not only was it some of the most unique painted work I have seen in a current magazine in awhile but it was all painted by Ashley Hicks HIMSELF! I knew that he was a designer, and business man running the company his Dad had established but had no idea he was a painter. Maybe if I asked nicely he would give me some lessons!

Take a look!

These squares are painted to look like green leather, notice the leather "stitching" in between each square.

A Grisalle forest to dine beneath. So modern, yet so timeless at the same time.

Trompe L'oeil painted desk drawer

Notice the Trompe L'oeil continues in the panels at the top of the bookcases.

Although I am sure this is wallpaper, pretty wonderful as well. The English are the masters of floral patterns, they never look tired or trite!

Please be sure to check out the rest of the home's interior on Ashley's site.

David Hicks and his Influence

I apologize for my blogging hiatus this past week after I have just given you a little taste and left you hanging! Last weekend my laptop was privy to a dinner guest, a glass of red wine and talk of caribbean travel which resulted in a cracked screen and wine stained stairwell! All the makings for an exciting Saturday evening, no?

On with my post!

I have confessed my love for David Hicks' use of color, pattern and over all "englishness" for all of the internet to see and my recent discovery that his son, Ashley is quite an innovative and talented decorative painter. Since it is highly unlikely that Ashley would agree to(or have the patience) to give me some grisaille lessons, perhaps I should see if he might want to speak at the 2011 PDPA Education Summit?

In my search for images for last week's post I found that I am not the only decorative painter influenced by a talented Mr. Hicks. Enjoy!

Hello and Welcome to Inspired.Paint.Repeat.!

I am your hostess and also the owner of E. Lee Jahncke Fine Finishes, a decorative painting firm based in New Orleans also known as, The Crescent City, The Big Easy, and most importantly The Who Dat Nation. I was born and raised here. I have lived in a few other cities that have their charms and perks but no where else have I been more inspired in life and in work than here. I am a painter and artist by nature and that is how I approach things. I am inspired, I paint, I repeat.

As I wish everyday where so glamourous; endless inspiration and endless amounts of time to create. No, not really. I make a living by day as a decorative painter. What does that mean, do you ask? It means that I have some skills, a few specialty brushes and tools and a knowledge of color and materials. A client/designer may come to me with a problem like "My home in the French Quarter has cypress doors, moulding and trim original to the building. We are remodeling and are unable to locate the wood to mill more trim, can you paint the "new" trim to look like the old wood?" Yes, I can and that is(was) a dream job! Always looking for one of those.

So, I have been hemming and hawing about this blog for about a year, to do it or not to. Why? There are so many out there, and there are a lot of good ones. I tend to read the design related ones because as it is not my business directly, it is related to my business of decorative painting, I am interested in it and feel I should be reading about what experts have to say about the design field, and I should be aware of the "trends".

What I want to do in my blog is to show how, paint, color and finishes in general no matter how large/small, complicated/simple the project or budget can really make a space. I see this everyday in my work. I see the before, after and the process in between. It is really amazing to see what paint can do.

Aetna Sued Over Leaking Patients HIV Status

Last month, Aetna sent letters to patients about their HIV medications. The information was sent in letters that made it easy to see phrase "filling prescriptions for HIV." Patients have claimed it breached their privacy as their confidential status was revealed to family, friends and neighbors.

A lawsuit was filed yesterday in Pennsylvania over the matter. It says more than 12,000 people were affected. Letters not only went out to HIV positive patients, but also non HIV positive patients who were on the drug Truvada. The Legal Action Center and AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania are representing tee main plaintiff who filed under a pseudonym. He is not HIV positive but is taking Truvada.

Aetna has not commented on the lawsuit yet, but did say they planned to review processes "to ensure something like this never happens again."

This is not the first time Aetna has been sued over HIV and privacy issues. In 2014 and 2015 it settled lawsuits relating to the fact that it required patients to get HIV medications through the mail.

The 10 Most Exciting Players In Rugby Right Now

They may not be the greatest players in the world right now, but we take a look at 10 players who know how to light up a game…

1. Cheslin Kolbe

The South African winger/full back has one of the most impressive steps in rugby right now and has become known for leaving opponents for dead.

2. Christian Wade

Questions may still remain over his defence, but Wade has an ability to unlock defences that is sure to see him gain international recognition sooner rather than later.

3. Matthew Morgan

Morgan has dropped off the international radar somewhat recently thanks to his move to Championship side Bristol, but is still lighting things up.

4. Wesley Fofana

Unfortunately Fofana has been somewhat restricted in the French midfield of late due to some rather stagnant tactics, however he is still capable of moments of magic.

5. Tim Nanai Williams

Fortunately for rugby fans around the world, Williams looks set to turn out for Samoa at this years World Cup where we can witness more of his incredible skills.

6. Stuart Hogg

The Scotland full back is currently one of the most exciting players in the Northern Hemisphere, and possible the best Scottish player of the last 10 years.

7. Willie le Roux

The Springboks full back is the perfect compliment to their powerful forward pack as he creates gaps in defences with his pace and impressive steps.

8. Beauden Barrett

The All Blacks fly half may be someway of being a regular starter on the international scene, but he is showing enough to suggest he may not be far off.

9. Israel Folau

The Wallabies full back really is their stand out player, and regularly produces moments of magic to help unlock defences.

10. Anthony Watson

The young Bath and England full back/winger has produced some inspiring moments of late and looks set to have a bright future ahead of him.

Leigh Halfpenny Could Be Set For Move Back To Wales, But Not With Cardiff

Scarlets coach Wayne Pivac says he would be interested in talking to full-back Leigh Halfpenny “if he is serious” about returning to Wales.

Halfpenny’s contract at Toulon ends in summer 2016, with Cardiff Blues reported to be interested in re-signing the player.

The 26-year-old left the Blues for France in the summer of 2014.

“He’s no different to anyone else. If he is serious about returning we’d be interested to talk to him,” said Pivac.

“We don’t have an endless budget, but I’ve said it earlier and nothing has changed.

“If there’s any returning Welsh players we’d like to have the opportunity to talk to them just to check what’s going on in the market-place and find out their value.”

It is likely any return to Wales by the 2013 British and Irish Lions full-back would be on a national dual contract funded 60% by the Welsh Rugby Union.

Under the terms of the agreement between the four regions and the WRU, the player’s region of origin would have first refusal on a player returning to Wales – suggesting he Blues would be favourites.

Agriculture minister seeks cooperation from ASEAN countries

Posted in | #Industry #ASEAN #Radha Mohan Singh

 Indian Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh on Friday said India and ASEAN countries faced similar agrarian challenges and sought their close cooperation to tackle them as a important part of the collaborative agenda.

In his address at the 4th ASEAN-India Agriculture Ministers' meeting here, he said diversification towards higher value crops and livestock would be the answer, as it would not only improve farm incomes but also to reduce stress on the scarce natural resources, he said, according to an official statement.

"ASEAN and India also face similar challenges such as climate change, shrinking land base, dwindling water resources, shortage of farm labour, and increasing costs and uncertainties associated with volatility in national and international markets.

"Trans-boundary diseases also remain yet another important areas of attention which requires urgent focus and collaborative efforts. This calls for close cooperation between our countries to tackle them," he said.

Singh said India was committed to work with ASEAN countries to develop rural areas and eradicate poverty in line with the implementation of the ASEAN Community Vision 2025 and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

"We look forward to a closer cross-sectoral collaboration with ASEAN bodies on rural development and poverty eradication, agriculture, social welfare and development and health, among others, to ensure sustainable and inclusive development in the region."

Singh said agriculture and food security remained among the prime areas of focus of the Indian government with the key objective of ensuring food and nutrition security "at affordable price in an eco-friendly environment".

Stressing that the relationship between Indian and ASEAN countries holds significant promise and potential, Singh said: "I am sure we will use this opportunity to further build upon our collaborations in the areas of food safety and security, agricultural technology, food processing, value chains, agricultural marketing and capacity building and take them to newer heights."

Jordan Silver and Erik Sacher chose their location in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan knowing it was within a mile of 10 other optical shops. The owners of Silver Lining Opticians clearly aren’t afraid of competition. They know they’re offering something no competitor has: their own aesthetic.

“Selling only items we love may lose us some sales in terms of trendy brands, but it will only help our reputation,” Silver says.

Silver and Sacher, who’s a licensed optician, don’t expect customers to be familiar with the names they carry. They strive to offer a variety of vintage and contemporary frames, many of them moderately priced. “It gives us great pleasure to teach people how to appreciate quality craftsmanship and come away with an accessory they’re excited to wear,” Silver says.

Since opening in 2007, Silver and Sacher have filled their space with unique touches, such as a vintage pool table, a lion statue and numerous images of famous people in glasses. The eclectic decorations add a masculine air to the store and show that the owners are well-versed in the styles of many eras.

Judge Robert Bell was impressed by the “great retro and professional feel” of Silver Lining’s interior.

It’s clear, he says, that Silver and Sacher “understand their market extremely well, understand that they can’t sell everyone (nor should they attempt to) and realize it would be a complete waste of time — their time and the consumer’s time” — to try.

Jordan says he and Sacher strive for quality in every aspect of their work, from frames and lenses to window displays. “Someone once told me that I’d remember the quality of the suit I was buying long after I’d forget the price,” he says. “I view this quote as how to run our business.”

Silver Lining doesn’t carry frames with spring hinges, fake rivets or “anything else we don’t like or believe in,” Silver says.

2  The store sells its own designs. Silver says the initial collection of seven styles has been well received, and “we intend to begin wholesale.” The frames are named for elements: Beryllium, Calcium, Carbon, Chlorine, Hydrogen, Phosphorous and Sulphur. (If the periodic table is any indication, there’s plenty of room for expansion.)

Silver Lining is venturing into e-commerce. You can order items from the store’s own collection, along with “sundries” such as cases, right from its website.

The website clearly lays out the nine “commandments” by which Silver Lining operates. Rule No. 1: “Honesty is the only policy. We’ll tell you what we think looks good (and bad).” For a hint of what that might be, see Rule No. 7: “Plastic frames give a more youthful appearance than metal or rimless.”

Silver Lining’s fans include many well-known names. One post on the store’s website journal section shows Adam Levine of Maroon 5  in frames from the shop’s vintage collection at the premiere of his film Begin Again at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival. Another post notes how Bill Gates has purchased the shop’s own Carbon frame  in every available color. Jay-Z is pictured, too — with a note that seeing him at the past two presidential inauguration ceremonies wearing vintage frames from Silver Lining “is really the ultimate sighting for us.”

Before starting Silver Lining, Silver was “collecting vintage sunglasses and not knowing where I was going in life.” He started his eyewear collection more than 10 years ago while studying architecture in Paris. He’s since provided vintage pieces to many exclusive boutiques and collectors, including Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys, Lane Crawford, Jeffrey New York and Opening Ceremony.

This place is cool! I particularly like the eclectic feel and the brick walls. — Rebecca Johnson

Love the name ... and I would enjoy working here 12 hours a day as well. — Bob Hillman

True to what they believe ... it’s obvious and admirable. I bet your customers love it. — Howard Purcell

New Fact Sheets Added for Invasive Plants and Weeds

New Fact Sheets Added for Invasive Plants and Weeds

The Renz lab in the UW-Madison Agronomy Department in cooperation with University of Wisconsin-Extension Team Horticulture, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and the Midwest Invasive Plant Network has continued the development of a series of fact sheets on invasive plants and urban weeds that was started in 2009. This series summarizes important identifying characteristics for each featured species, as well as information necessary for developing a management plan. The bulk of each sheet lays out non-chemical and chemical control methods. Information highlighted includes timing of treatment for each technique, effectiveness of treatments, and remarks and cautions particular to each technique. The products or techniques included are in common use or are known to provide effective control as documented by researchers and land managers. Those products and techniques that do not provide sufficient control or lack information for effectiveness on target species have been omitted. It is our hope that these sheets will provide everyone with the information needed to manage invasive species in their specific situation.

We are releasing 18 new sheets, representing 23 species. This brings the series to a total of 33 sheets and 44 species. You might have seen the original batch of species, but with this new release we have updated all of our sheets to include new herbicide products and a rating system that allows the user to compare the effectiveness of control techniques. The control information is given as a percentage of the original infestation that is controlled the year of the application and the year after the initial application with no subsequent application of control.

All of the sheets are available at the UW-Extension Weed Science web site ( or you can follow the links below directly to a species.

  Incontinentia Pigmenti International Foundation

An event has occurred that many of us have been dreaming about. The gene which causes IP has been identified. I would like to tell the story of how this remarkable achievement came about.

In the Fall of 1994, a baby girl covered with blisters was born into my extended family. She was misdiagnosed as having an infectious disease, treated aggressively with incorrect medication and was looked after by parents who were emotionally devastated. It took 4 more months to get a correct diagnosis. Finding accurate information was extremely difficult, finding a support group impossible. I made a promise to the baby that when she was old enough to have her own children, the mysteries of IP will have been uncovered, and she would not have to suffer the experience of her parents.

I began by creating the National Incontinentia Pigmenti Foundation, Inc. With the identification of the gene, half of my promise has been realized. It would not have been possible for one person working alone to accomplish the goals that I set for the Foundation. I would therefore like to acknowledge all those who helped me make this promise come true. To simply say thank you is hopelessly inadequate. The lives of so many people will be profoundly altered by this discovery.

I will begin with the International IP Research Consortium (IIPRC), which I organized in 1996. A list of the members with their photographs appears on page 3. This group of truly remarkable people worked together in a unique collaboration. Many consortiums have existed, only to fall apart through competitiveness, lack of cooperation and petty antagonisms. But the IIPRC is outstanding in several ways. Its members are a group from differing backgrounds, nationalities (7) and disciplines who have bridged the multiple geographic, language, and intellectual barriers to work on one focused problem: the genetic nature and cause of IP. They question each other respectfully, each accepting the challenge of his or her work assignment with equanimity and humor. For years the IIPRC met over a weekend every six months, many traveling thousands of miles. In between meetings there was always a flurry of e-mails sharing information, theories, results, etc. Many dead-end paths were encountered along the way, disappointing results taken in stride, theories that didn't pan out, etc. Through all this not one person ever thought or spoke of giving up. All those who benefit from their extraordinary efforts and eventual success can never know the full extent of their dedication.

The second group, which is vital to this effort, are those who participated in the research. The adults with IP, parents, children and extended family members who agreed to share clinical information and send samples of their blood to the consortium lab nearest them, were invaluable. No research could have gone forward without the ability to examine and study this group.

Another vital component is donations. How do we express adequately our gratitude to those who have contributed financially or who have assisted in raising funds, thereby having made the above achievements possible? The Foundation funds its own expenses which are becoming considerable, even though no salaries or rents are paid. There are the costs of telephone, printing, postage, etc. The Foundation funds researchers in England, France and the clinical department of the research lab in Texas. It also pays for many of the expenses of the Consortium meetings which historically have taken place every six months, but which now occur more frequently.

It is important to remember that this is only Step One. The isolation and cloning of the gene for Incontinentia Pigmenti is a substantial achievement, but it is only the beginning of our understanding the impact on molecular genetics, molecular and developmental biology, embryology, and the realistic investment in the understanding of its roles in brain (retardation and seizures), vision (retinal vascular development and retinal detachment), skin (eruptions and scarring), teeth (formation and enamel development), and immunology (eosinophilia).

There are those who must be thanked who do not fall into the above groups. Families, Scientific Advisory Council members of NIPF, friends and countless others who play a continuing and vital role.

We will all continue to work together until we reach our final goal. And once again, I thank you all for helping me to keep my promise.

Susanne Bross Emmerich
Founder and Executive director

The article in Nature Magazine is 7 pages long and is very technical. I have therefore decided that instead of reproducing the article in its entirety, it would be preferable to reprint just the abstract and acknowledgments. For those who wish the whole article it can be obtained by writing to NIPF at the address listed on the cover page.

Familial Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP) is a neurocutaneous genodermatosis that segregates as an X-linked dominant disorder with a high probability of prenatal male lethality. Among surviving affected females, its prominent phenotypic manifestations include abnormalities of the skin, hair, nails, teeth, eyes and the central nervous system. Patients exhibit early inflammatory skin lesions and cells expressing the mutated X are selectively eliminated. The locus for the disorder has been linked genetically to the factorVIII gene in Xq28. Because of both its early inflammatory manifestations and the apoptotic response of patient-derived cell lines, we have analyzed the locus for NEMO, a protein that is involved in the activation of NF-kB and therefore central to many pro-inflammatory and apoptotic pathways. Here we demonstrate that the majority of cases of IP are due to mutations of this locus with a novel genomic rearrangement accounting for 80% of new mutations. As a consequence, NF-kB activation is defective in IP cells. This is the first account of a Mendelian disorder resulting from a reduction in NF-kB activation and will provide exciting insight into the role of this pathway in man.

The International IP Research Consortium was only possible due to the efforts of Susanne Emmerich, Director of the National Incontinentia Pigmenti Foundation, who provided not only financial and practical support, but fostered a truly collaborative spirit throughout. Sincere appreciation is extended to the participating families for their willing and continued cooperation with these investigations, and to their attending physicians for sharing of information and facilitating enrollments.
