Jenny said she has made Make-A-Wish part of her family tradition every year! "The year we got married, I gave my husband a Make-A-Wish star ornament with our first names and the number 1 on it to mark our first Christmas together," she said. "Now I get an ornament every year, and I always add the number of Christmases we have spent together. This year we will add another name to our ornament – our first baby, Lucius!" "We dream of a Christmas tree full of Make-A-Wish star ornaments that signify the growth of our family and all the years we were able to spend together," she said.

We miss him very much," she said. "Michael was the recipient of a very special opportunity through Make-A-Wish. Every year since he died, I engrave a make-A-Wish ornament with his name on it. This is my way of including him in our Christmas every year. It just means so much to me." Support Make-A-Wish!

With a tracheostomy, a small hole (stoma) is made in your neck. A tracheostomy tube ("trach tube") is then placed into the stoma. Air goes into and out of your lungs through the tube. Here are answers to some common questions that patients often ask about tracheostomy. If you have other questions, ask a member of your healthcare team.
Q: How long will I have my trach tube?
A: This depends on why you have the tube. Often, the new airway is needed for only a short time. But sometimes the new airway must stay in for good. The tube is removed when it's no longer needed.
Q: Will I be able to speak with a tracheostomy?
A: This depends on several factors, such as your reason for the tracheostomy, whether your vocal cords are damaged, and the type of trach tube you have. Your doctor can tell you more about what to expect in your case.
Q: Will I be able to eat with a tracheostomy?
A: Many patients can eat normally. But some precautions are needed.
Q: If the trach tube is taken out, will it leave a hole?
A: If the stoma is no longer needed, it is covered up and allowed to close on its own. Tracheostomy stomas often heal nicely and leave only a small scar.
Q: Can I swim with a tracheostomy?
A: You can't put your tube under water. But you can wade or sit in water if you keep your stoma and tube dry.
Q: I sometimes feel like I'm gagging. Is this normal?
A: Until you get used to breathing through the trach tube, you may feel that it is hard to breathe or swallow. Stay calm. Take some deep breaths. As you relax, the feeling should go away. It's normal to gag a little when you suction.
Q: Can my trach tube fall out?
A: Your trach ties should keep your tube from falling out, even if you cough. But you should know what to do if the tube does come out.
Q: Why is it harder to pass stool?
A: A person who breathes through the nose or mouth can hold his or her breath to help push stool out. You can't do this, so stool may be harder to pass. If this is a problem for you, talk to your doctor. He or she may suggest a high-fiber diet or laxatives.

Hey Rachel,
Yes, as a matter of fact we have two. ICA (International Chess Academy) hosts camps, clubs, tournaments and special events in Teaneck and Fair Lawn, so definitely check them out. Or if those areas aren't convenient, one of the ICA instructors is hosting a club out of the Saddle River Library for ages Kindergarten and up which is broken down by skill level so it makes it easy for kids to learn and not get discouraged.
Check Mate,

Anyone out there practicing QDM in Michigan? What are your thoughts on this practice in our state?
It seems like QDM hasn't be as widely adopted in MI as in other areas and I'm curious why that is. Just the overall hunting culture? Thats probably my best guess, so many people are just used to "if its brown, its down" and don't want to deal with any more restrictions.

First of all I'd like to say hello to everyone, as a new member here on dhp. I've been reading through some of the topics, and it looks like a great forum you've got together here.
Anyway, what i'm after is dj's who want to spin at a new bar in Ko Samui, Thailand. The bar will be opening in November, and we're looking for dj's. Music will be deep house everynight, apart from maybe a couple of monthly's, otherwise it's house.
If this interests anyone and you want to know more, i've written a brief outline about the bar in the overseas parties section, if you read this and are interested, or have any questions please ask.
Oh yeah, and could those who have been to Thailand please tell those who havn't what it's like. The food, the beaches etc.
Also there must be a few of you who come here regulary anyway, so next time let me know when your coming, and don't forget your vinyl.

This is a pretty trivial question but I'd be interested in your opinions.
Would you include post-nominal letters and/or other qualifications on your business cards? Do you think it's overly formal/slightly pretentious, or do you think it conveys a degree of professionalism?
I suppose if you are a doctor or a lawyer, or in some similarly regulated profession, then it makes sense, but what about the rest of us?
I'm leaning towards just using my name as this seems to be common practise in the tech world, and the alternative strikes me as a bit immodest, but I'd be interested if anyone thinks that's a bad idea.

5 ways gov't cuts may hit your wallet
Grocery store, airport are two places people may notice changes

--SUGGESTED ANCHOR LEAD IN--

The clock is counting down to a series of forced government spending cuts set to kick in on Friday. But what does the debate in Washington really mean to you? Karin Caifa (prono: KAY-fuh) has five ways it could impact your bottom line at home.

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS--

THE MOST UNLIKELY OF BUZZ WORDS…

"sequester"

"replace the sequester"

"sequester"

"Most people don't even know what the word sequester means"

…REALLY TRANSLATES TO 85 BILLION DOLLARS IN FORCED GOVERNMENT SPENDING CUTS... WITH POTENTIAL EFFECTS FROM THE GROCERY STORE.. TO THE AIRPORT.

SO HOW DID WE GET HERE? MARK KENNEDY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SAYS IT'S AS SIMPLE AS TWO CLASHING VIEWS ON HOW TO SHAPE UP THE NATION'S FINANCES.

 "One side views we ought to raise taxes, the other side views we ought to cut spending."

--SOME OF THE WAYS YOU'D NOTICE THE CUTS -- START AT THE SUPERMARKET. A CUT TO FOOD SAFETY PROGRAMS WOULD SLOW INSPECTIONS OF CHICKEN, EGGS, BEEF, AND PORK...LESS SUPPLY AND HIGHER PRICES.

--IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO TRAVEL FOR SPRING BREAK OR THE BUSY SUMMER SEASON, POTENTIAL FOR LONGER AIRPORT SECURITY LINES AND FLIGHT DELAYS.

FEDERAL FURLOUGHS COULD MEAN FEWER EMPLOYEES AVAILABLE FOR SCREENING AND CUSTOMS...

--AND THOSE LOOKING FOR A CHEAP GETAWAY AT A NATIONAL PARK COULD FIND SOME AREAS SHUTTERED.

--ON UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES LIKE THIS ONE, CUTS TO SOME FEDERAL STUDENT AID PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FUNDING.

--AND FOR THREE-POINT-EIGHT MILLION AMERICANS, WEEKLY UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS SLICED BY ABOUT 10 PERCENT.

WHILE THE CUTS ARE CAUSE FOR SOME CONCERN, THEY ARE NOT A CAUSE FOR IMMEDIATE PANIC, DESPITE THAT MARCH FIRST DEADLINE ON THE CALENDAR. MOST OF THE CONSEQUENCES WON'T TAKE PLACE TOMORROW, BUT ROLL INTO EFFECT OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

IN WASHINGTON, I'M KARIN CAIFA.

Matthew has also arranged for [[Andreas Fasoulides]], living in [[Cyprus]], to visit [[Pakistan]] to lay the groundwork for future solar cooking training workshops there where 100,000 solar cookers are currently on provisional order. Applied Green Technology is close to releasing their new solar cooker design developed from the basic [[CooKit]] solar panel cooker. Matthew states that the improved design will be able to be adjusted to suit sun orientation at any latitude location on the globe, and the added power boost allows for cooking to be done often without the need for a cooking bag. |

− | *'''The solar powered food cart business is flourishing in northern Argentina''' - With help from [[Fundación EcoAndina]] and [[WISIONS Initiative]], there has been a successful launch of solar powered food carts in northern [[Argentina]]. During the celebrations of Carnival of Puna, which spans almost all of February, the intrepid promoters of the sun's energy walked a few new solar kiosks through the streets in Tilcara, Humahuaca, La Quiaca, Purmamarca and Uquía, tourist sites the northern province of Jujuy. Each [[Kiosco SOLAR]] consists of a wheeled trolley, waterproof roof, and a [[parabolic solar cooker]]. "People are incredulous and astonished when the cart is in operation," says Marta Rojas, responsible for opening a kiosk this month in Tilcara. As a safety concern, there has been a need to begin to replace traditional food carts, where typically food is cooked directly over gas canisters or open fires. |
− | *'''Survey participants are being recruited to document solar cooking use in the USA''' - Natalia Blackburn of Blackburn Engineering is conducting a survey to begin to determine how solar cooking usage may be able to reduce traditional consumer energy demand in the [[USA]]. While individual savings may be small, when the big picture is considered, Natalia believes that wide use of solar cookers can add up to substantial savings for utilities. The objective of this study is to develop a set of protocols to measure energy savings and dollar savings attributable to the use of solar cookers in U.S. residential households. The survey will be conducted with a fifteen-minute phone interview, or the group of twenty-five questions can be answered by email. Respondents will be contacted via email to set up an interview. If you are a resident of the USA and have been solar cooking for at least eighteen months, consider participating in this pioneering effort by emailing [mailto:email@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com].

According to the announcement: "The use of efficient energy systems at the household level (e.g. solar cooking stoves and ovens) can reduce emissions and harness the potential of women as actors in the overall solution to climate change." The mention of solar cookers in the Rockefeller Initiative may help to raise the profile of and attract additional funding for existing and future solar cooking projects. Applications will be accepted beginning March 8, 2013, International Women's Day. [[United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change|Read more about the program and how to qualify...]] |

− | *'''Solar Circle uses barter system to distribute 3000 solar cookers in Tanzania''' - The NGO [[Solar Circle]] has learned many things from their solar cooking program in Masasi, southern [[Tanzania]]. People will use solar cookers if they are efficient and affordable, which is often a problem for subsistence farmers who are most in need of the cookers even when the cookers are heavily subsidized. However, they have also learned that people will work hard to earn a solar cooker. The group has created a bartering system with community leaders. The community chooses a service project and the beneficiaries organize and oversee the effort. Participants earn an solar oven for their involvement. So far, the program has distributed more than 3000 solar ovens, and built 40 houses for people who are sick, elderly, widowed, or disabled. Because the community chooses the project and beneficiary, there's an eagerness to work together. Surrounding villages have heard of the cookers and the program, so spreading the word has been easy. They cannot keep up with demand. The barter program relies on external help with finances, but community service represents the same effort that of money earned in outside employment. Solar Circle values that effort, and raises what money it can from friends to expand the program. {{FeaturedProjects}} |

− | *'''Large-scale use of solar cookers in northwestern China shows promise''' - [[Solar Household Energy]] has tracked the Chinese government's efforts to reduce carbon emissions in the region, because in rural [[China]] the predominant fuel for cooking and heating is usually coal. The government has utilized the carbon credit trading program of the [[Clean Development Mechanism]] to encourage investors to become involved, and results have proven to support a profitable business model. At this point, it is estimated over two million people are benefiting from receiving and using 500,000 [[parabolic solar cooker]]s. The thermal efficiency of the solar cookers averages 65% compared with 12.3% for traditional unimproved coal fires. It is estimated the solar cooker use has reduced emissions equivalent to taking 200,000 automobiles off the road. Manufactured at a unit cost of $44USD, the cookers are locally manufactured, require no externally sourced parts, and components are recyclable. For those who perceive solar cooking as happening only at a village level, this report confirms that solar cooking continues to grow as a valuable resource to significantly help reduce global carbon emissions.

ADES recognized another solar energy opportunity that would work well with their solar cooking promotion. As long as the solar cooker is used for a few hours each day for cooking, why not build in strips of photovoltaic cells to create some electricity? The power is stored in batteries attached under the cooker. Fully charged, the unit can power 12 volt lights or a radio for a few days and recharge cellphones.

They have been holding SHEP-funded workshops at clinics, schools, agricultural shows (where they won 1st place for the most interesting booth in 2011), and government-sponsored functions on energy and conservation. The group was also invited to Lusaka to run a three-day workshop for a [[United Kingdom|UK]] based nonprofit organization.

The study isolated the effects of [[Indoor air pollution|cooking smoke]] only. There appears to be a shift from communicable children's diseases to non-communicable disease in adult populations as the major health threat affecting developing countries.

Substantial smoke reduction is required to see significant improvement.

In five villages (Dioro, Babougou, Koila Bamanan, Kominé, Soké), they trained four groups of 25 women (selected by the village chiefs) in the practice of [[Integrated Cooking]]. They received kits containing: two [[CooKit]]s, to cook meals when the sun shines; a [[fuel-efficient woodstove]], for use when there's no sun; and a [[heat-retention cooker]] to allow even more food to be cooked in the first two. In addition to a short hands-on training workshop, the project ensured that all participants were visited several times after the course to solve problems, and provide extra tips, and encouragement. In the final evaluation, in May 2012, external experts established that more than 80% of the participants--in some villages nearly 100%--used these technologies daily. As intended, they are now saving some 1,800 tons of fuel wood per year. The evaluators also found that many women appreciate having more free time each day, since they do not have to tend a fire when solar cooking or using the heat-retention cooker. They use their time for other activities including running small businesses. Buying less firewood also saves them a lot of money. It's no surprise that the evaluators spoke of integrated cooking as a great means of relieving poverty! {{FeaturedProjects}} |

The women opened their CooKits and left their pots of food to cook unattended for 90 minutes while they sat in the shade. The result was a banquet for hundreds of people. If each of these woman had been required to haul a fuel-efficient stove and a bundle of wood to this location along with her pot of food, she would have had to stay out in the sun, along with the other women, to tend her fire through the cooking process.

[[Cord]], their partner at the [[Farchana Refugee Camp|Farchana refugee camp]], sees solar cooking as a way to keep girls in school, and not spending hours finding [[fuelwood]] for cooking. For others, the project has meant help for the environment and the air quality conditions for women previously using open fires. When the [[Jewish World Watch]] contingent first visited the camps many years ago, the refugees had just arrived and the encampment was meant to be temporary. The hope and expectation was that within a few months or a couple of years at most; they would return to their homes. But now, seven years later, it is clear that returning to Darfur is not a reality and the camps are turning into permanent settlements. As a result, the programs for the refugees must begin to move away from survival resources and begin to address ways of achieving self-sufficiency and permanence. In other words, helping to create a life, not an existence. Future larger scale solutions will be needed to address and benefit the surrounding communities, as well as the refugee camps, to help with the integration of the Sudanese residents.

So to find my adventure into Supermoto racing the Foes has to go. I built it at the start of last year out of all new parts and had it looked after by a bike mechanic mate who has serviced it and made sure it was in tip top condition after every race meet. It was a no expense spared build with the best parts I could buy at the time.
The frame is an 09 but is still the current Foes DHS Mono 2:1 frame. Each DHS Mono is still hand welded by Brent Foes himself with a very limited number of frames being made each year. I think he knocks out around 50 a year and at last check its a 14 month waiting list for one. Also each Curnut rear shock is made for each frame so you get the perfect action from it though all 10 inches of rear swingarm travel . As you would expect with such a bespoke frame it comes with adjustable steering head angel and a floating rear calliper set up to stop rear brake jacking. The frame is a Large so it would suit most guys from about 5'7 up although with a DHS there is bugger all between the small and the Large off the top of my head its 1/2 and inch in the main spar.
Grear wise its all high end stuff like a full Saint cranks and chain set,Avid codes,Sunline billet direct mount stem and Boxer world cup forks,Hadley front and rear hubs,Carbon bars etc
The Boxer forks are 08 limited edition works world cups with gloss black legs
While I could of bought new world cups when I did the build I choose these as
most people including myself regard them as the best forks rock shox have made. Each to their own but IMO they feel better than the new forks and Fox40's good but shit for parts and like to blow seals at the drop of a hat.
If you are a complete sick'o I have some DMV upside down 39mm air forks you can put on it to look cool but race slow.
Anyway its all high end spec and a very fast bike thats way above my level. I am just a wanker/hack who likes to have nice shit. Abit like the old guy in the 599FFX who cant drive for shit but still has one. I dropped 10seconds off my P.B on my first run with this bike so it cost me about $650 per second lol.
Every person who has ridden the bike comes back in awe of how smooth and fast it is. You can run into or over crazy rocks and it just soaks them up with not even so much as a shake of the head. Great if you are a hack like me.
Anyway here are a few build pics it now has a black Mavic rim on the front.
I have the bike getting serviced now but will get some more pics when it comes back if anyone is serious about it. I am going to put it on Rotorburn etc in the next few weeks but though I would chuck it up on here first.
Price wise I am looking at ~$2,500ono build cost was around 6K so I think that's around the mark but I am happy to talk about it.
