Elise Testone – One and Only – Live with Kelly! – Video
Sadly, Elise Testone was eliminated in sixth place on American Idol. I'm still in shock. She dropped by Live with Kelly! and performed a stellar version of Adele's "One and Only." This was certainly one of the many highlights of her run on the show.
Oh, apparently she can play the cello. Maybe she should have broken that out. I also know she can play the guitar. Dang. Sad day.
Also, she DOES have a funny personality. Too bad we didn't really get to see that on the show.

Big data is bringing big changes to "stick-in-the-mud" farmers, reports The Economist (5/24/14). Known as "prescriptive planting," and pioneered by "two former Google employees," Monsanto's FieldScripts uses "remote sensing and other cartographic techniques to map every field in America (all 25m of them) and superimpose on that all the climate information that it could find. By 2010 its database contained 150 billion soil observations and 10 trillion weather-simulation points."
Originally, the idea was to "use these data to sell crop insurance" but when Monsanto bought its developer, Climate Corporation, for "about $1 billion" last year, it combined the data with its own "library of hundreds of thousands of seeds, and terabytes of data on their yields," producing "a map of America which says which seed grows best in which field under which conditions." Monsanto is now using the data "to run machines made by Precision Planting," which it also acquired, to plant fields for maximum results.
Some farmers are wary, however, because the technology "reduces the role of discretion and skill in farming — their core competence." They also "fear that the stream of detailed data … might be misused," their secrets sold or leaked "to rival farmers." The American Farm Bureau "is drawing up a code of conduct" to address this, but not all contracts comply. This tension over privacy "affects big data in all its forms," in that the future of prescriptive planting rests on "service providers persuading users … to trust them."

Have I mentioned here how much my daily commute downtown is my very least favorite (and that's putting it mildly) part of my day?
For those of you that haven't actually seen where I live in Calgary – I live in the South East quadrant at the far end of the city. It's a beautiful lake community, with a ton if brand new amenities just being opened across the road from our home… Save-On-Foods, a boutique English Pub, Shoppers Drug Mart, and a 15 plex Cineplex Theatre opening next year, and so much more. I love our neighborhood.
But transit is ridiculous. If parking wasn't a average of $500 a month in the downtown core, I'd deal with the heavy traffic on the Deerfoot.
But, instead, I drive 15 minutes to the SW part of Calgary, pay $73 a month for the privilege of having a parking spot somewhere in the massive lot at the last station, Somerset, and climb aboard the C-Train for another 40 minutes into the core. Often times, standing the whole way there in packed, sardine-like in the extremely aging cars that carries us all to work.
But, on many occasions the commute is extended by the cars breaking down, people getting in the way of doors closing because they couldn't possibly wait for the next train despite the fact that there's no place for them to truly fit, or some numbskull who decided to drive in drives into the train. Yep. That happens a lot, too.
I've personally also seen two bodies, (suicide-by-train most likely), people not giving their seat up for elderly or the pregnant, and even all-out fist-fights when tempers flare in the sweltering heat during the summer.
Oh. It's good times on this commute. I'm hoping a South East solution comes sooner rather than later – Calgary desperately needs it.
YOUR TURN! Do you have an easy commute?

Low Vitamin D Levels May Not Be Behind Unexplained Bone Fractures in Infants
Filed under: Babies, In The News, Nutrition
"I didn't bust the guy's jaw, your honor, honest. He must have them there, whaddya call 'em, vitamin D deficiencies. Yeah, that's it."
That line may not work if you deck another grown-up, but if you're accused of abusing a baby, who knows? The vitamin D defense has worked before.
That may not be true much longer. Reuters reports scientists are rethinking low vitamin D levels as a cause of unexplained bone fractures in children. Suspicious eyes may be returning to more inhumanly human factors.
Captain Kanagaroo was right. vitamin D is essential for building strong bones and teeth. Severe vitamin D deficiencies have been known to soften bones and leave children prey to rickets, as well as abnormalities such as bowed legs and severe spinal curvatures.
Some scientists believe low vitamin D levels produce many of the same conditions found in children thought to be abused.
Not really, researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia tell Reuters. They measured vitamin D levels in 108 babies and toddlers brought in for broken bones. Out of every 10 fractures, seven were because of accidents and three were because of abusive slimeballs.
According to Reuters, researchers found low vitamin D levels were common -- but no more common among the children thought to be victims of abuse.
"Our study indicates that a low vitamin D level should not discourage consideration of abuse when a child presents with unexplained fractures," lead researcher Samantha Schilling tells Reuters.
That doesn't mean all unexplained fractures are the result of abuse.
"I believe that not just vitamin D deficiency, but a number of other bone disorders, can cause fractures that can readily be misinterpreted as child abuse," Colin R. Paterson, a retired staff physician at the University of Dundee in Scotland, tells Reuters.
"It has often been assumed, that if parents are unable to provide an explanation for fractures, they must be lying about assaults inflicted by themselves or others," he adds.

There are intimations of trouble at the Four Seasons beyond its current Picasso woes: "Page Six" floats the rumor that real-estate investor and entrepreneur Aby Rosen, whose RFR Holding is Julian Niccolini's landlord at the famed space, wants to open his own swanky restaurant in its place. The site suggests current lease negotiations have hit an impasse and notes that 2016 may be the end of the Four Seasons as we know it. Others disagree: Weve been here since 1959, and well be here for another 15 years, says Niccolini. [Page Six, Related]

Lenovo puts ThinkPads to test
Summary: Chinese PC maker subjects its ThinkPad laptops to dust, noise and drop tests, among others, in its Yamato Laboratory in Yokohama, Japan.
3 of 10Image
During the thermal shock test, ThinkPad devices and chargers are subject to cold and heat tests ranging from -20 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius for a few days.
This is to simulate airplane cabin temperature which may drop below zero degrees Celsius because of high altitudes, and ship cargo temperature which may go up to 50 to 60 degrees Celcius.
In the anechoic chamber, researchers measure noise coming from the laptop. While most of the noise comes from the fan or hard disk, the AC adapter and electrical ports are prone to produce noise too.
This test makes sure laptops produce as little noise as possible so users can use their devices in quiet environments such as the library without disturbing others.
In the EMI (electro-magnetic interference) chamber, Lenovo measures the electrical field strength of ThinkPad devices to ensure they comply with international standards.

Top-ranked recipe named "Crockpot Beef Stroganoff"
I love this recipe--so easy and SOOOOO good!
"Good stuff and really simple to make. I did make a few changes to punch it up a little: I replaced the cream of mushroom soup with golden mushroom soup, added a glug of white wine and a carton of sliced baby bella mushrooms with the soup and the meat, and added a 10 oz package of frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry) when I added the sour cream. But even with me complicating things, it was still a great time-saver stroganoff recipe."- dakotarussell
Get out your crock pot. Dump everything except the sour cream into the crock pot. Cook on low heat for 8 hours. Add the sour cream a half hour before the 8 hours is up. Serve over noodles. That's it! So easy!

Stove: From Dream Stoves
I have been blogging about midcentury home design since 2006, but my very first piece of published writing about home design in 1995 — an article about vintage stoves for the now-defunct Ann Arbor News. Vintage stoves were first becoming popular around then. I have been a fan ever since and today, have a circa-1959 GE Pushbutton electric in my kitchen. When we did a story a while ago about where to get your vintage appliances fixed, a number of readers had suggestions and experiences to share about vintage stove restoration experts. Over on the Forum, Karl T. also suggested suppliers. I did some additional research and came up with an expanded list — the readers added more in their comments, below — and we now have
12 13 14 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 places to get your vintage stove restored… to buy a restored vintage stove… and to find parts and service for vintage stoves:
Note, before you buy, understand what you are paying for. Depending on condition, stoves may require *just* cleaning … an expert can tell you whether it needs new wiring, insulation, pilots, burners … and then, there are the so-called "remanufactured" stoves — in which the stove is completely disassembled, rechromed, re-porcelained, re-everythinged (pretty much), then put back together as "new", for all intents and purposes.

And, as Lara Jane commented in the original story:
To follow up on Pam's post, I know a lot of people on other home improvement sites were scammed by a guy restoring vintage stoves (some they'd sent to him, some were advertised on his site). Be careful who you give your money to, and if possible, use a credit card with buyer protection!
Yes, as with any purchase of this magnitude — please do due diligence regarding the companies you are engaging with.
For Do It Yourselfers: Check out The Old Appliance Club. Please take care, though — consult with a professional about proper safety and environmental issues you need to know!

Tyson's in OKC is great. They restore as they sell (you pick it out and they restore it as needed) even do layaway and give a 1 YEAR WARRANTY on vintage stoves. While there check out the historic OKC stock yards and eat at the Cattleman's Restaurant (its about 100 years old).
Went to Tulsa Stove Hospital, it is 100 miles closer. They may be open, they may not. If they are open, they are marginally helpful and only wanted to discuss $3000 stoves, unrestored.

Kim Kardashian's butt is now helping kids study for the SAT
It's Kim Kardashian's butt's world, and we're all just living in it.
Kimberly Noel Kardashian (born October 21, 1980) is an American stylist, apparel retailer and television personality. She is best known for her social life, sex tape, and her appearances on reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
It's Kim Kardashian's butt's world, and we're all just living in it.
Jimmy Kimmel turned Kim Kardashian's bootylicious 'Paper Magazine' cover into a snowblower.
Chelsea Handler has thrown down the Instagram gauntlet. Again.
Kim Kardashian's mobile game has made $43 million so far since launching in late June, proving once again that life is not fair.
Hint: The company's expected core audience isn't interested in her.
Kardashian spoke about her love of BlackBerry, the challenges of being a reality star and how she manages her social media presence.
Rest in paradise, "Big Al." Here's an obituary worth reading.
To be like Kanye West, one would need to always be ready to deliver a thought-provoking monologue at any given moment, just like the rapper did Saturday.
Kanye West ponders whether paparazzi-manned drones will eventually harm his and Kim Kardashian's young daughter, North West.
Delving into the mysterious dystopian future world of photo shoots and incredibly cheap airfare.
Warning: we can't be held responsible for the time you lose to Kim K.
Kim Kardashian: Hollywood is one of the most popular -- and profitable -- games of 2014. But ... why? We played it ourselves to see what we've been missing.
Though you can theoretically spend hundreds trying to be like Kim, it seems most users are throwing down something in the $5 range to get app-famous.
Congrats, Kimye. This may be the biggest moment of your lives.
The moment has arrived. The #WorldsMostTalkedAboutCouple has released their wedding images -- which is to say, E! News, to whom the Kardashians basically owe their first-born children, has shared Kimye's official wedding pics. See also: New York Post Gives Kim and Kanye the World's Worst Wedding Announcement Assertions we can make based on the images: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West got married. But the real story here is about the dress, because fashion trumps love in the Kardashian-West clan.
New York institutions are having a field day with the Kimye wedding.
The New York Post clearly is not a fan of Kimye.
Rapper Kanye West and reality-television personality Kim Kardashian wed at a ceremony in Italy on Saturday.
We're about to find out who is and who is not, in fact, a gold digger.
Actors Seth Rogen and James Franco can't get enough of spoofing Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
It's finally safe to say -- Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have made it. If the millions of dollars and fame weren't enough proof that the duo were the new Hollywood "it" couple, Kardashian and West grace the cover of Vogue's April 2014 issue. It's a feat few imagined could happen.
While self-portraits have been around for as long as the camera, it's safe to say the selfie dominated 2013 -- so much, that the term was officially inducted into the Oxford dictionary. Years from now when your grandkids wonder why you have so many framed photos of your own face, you'll be able to point to the dictionary for the answer. Some were with front-facing cameras, while others stood in front of mirrors.
Barbara Walters released her annual list of the top 10 most fascinating people on Monday, and it reads like a who's who in viral sensations, including headline perennials Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Lawrence and "Kimye" (Kim Kardashian and Kanye West). All but one of this year's picks for the veteran TV journalist's list have been revealed; Walters will announce her top honoree during a televised special on Dec.
Move over Kim Kardashian -- Seth Rogen just schooled you in topless motorcycle riding.
Kanye West doesn't take normal road trips like us plebians. West debuted his new music video for the Yeezus album closer "Bound 2" on The Ellen Degeneres Show Tuesday. The clip features a topless Kim Kardashian, West's fiancée, riding shotgun on a motorcycle.
Leave it to grandma to reveal the first photo of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's baby girl, North West. Kim's mom, Kris Jenner, unveiled the image of the 2-month-old on Twitter with three simple words: "Meet North West." Kardashian gave birth on June 15, the day before Father's Day and a few days before the drop of West's sixth studio album, Yeezus. When the world discovered the baby's name, many Twitter users poked fun, causing it to become a worldwide trending topic.
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's newborn daughter, North West, is not alone. Records dating back to 1790 show thousands of parents have named their kids after a cardinal direction -- one boy even got South East as a first name and West as a last name. Sixty-two people have been named North West with the first known occurrences happening in the 1830s, according to U.S. records Mashable obtained from FindMyPast.com.
It's no secret Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak visited Kanye West, Kim Kardashian and their newborn daughter North West in June as a birthday gift to the rapper. But Kayne revealed on Twitter on Monday that the two leading ladies in his life also gave him an Apple-centric Father's Day present: old mice signed by co-founders Wozniak and the late Steve Jobs.
Kanye West is now linked to two Apple co-founders in head-scratching ways. After emphatically comparing himself to Steve Jobs, Kanye West, along with his baby's mama Kim Kardashian, invited Steve Wozniak to be one of the first people to see their newborn. The public has yet to lay eyes on photographs of North West, who was born Saturday and quickly became a Twitter sensation after her name was released.
It was hardly the first time in history a celebrity couple have given their child an unusual name. (Brooklyn Beckham, anyone? How about Blue Ivy Carter?) But when it emerged Thursday night that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have named the bouncing baby girl that arrived Saturday -- and her name is North West, according to both TMZ and US magazine -- wags around the world just couldn't resist taking to Twitter.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are reportedly still deciding on their little one's name, following the baby's arrival on Saturday. We do have a few clues about the baby's name, though -- it might start with a 'K.' "I think it would be really cute cause Kanye and I are both K's … but half the names on our list aren't K's," Kardashian told Extra. Donda is likely one of the options on their list, after West's late mother.

Gameplay Column: Weekly Tips #3 – Bond-age Time!
February 22, 2012 in Gameplay Tips, Weekly Column by Mycstea
Hello all! Okay I did comment that i wouldn't post this until next week but what the heck =)
In WS, there exist all kinds of ability types. Of the many very varying types, there is one which is called Bond. In earlier WS, Bond is pretty much quite useless. However, over time, Bond has become one of the core abilities in the game.
Get back ALL the character cards!
So why exactly is Bond such an important ability?
Introduction to Bond
Some people question the effectiveness of Bond abilities.
"It's just a lv0/lv1 small fry that allows me to take back this specific character. So what?"
Well the advantages of Bond abilities are deeper than a lot of people would imagine.
To begin, players should understand that WS is a game that actually revolves around Handsize. Read Weekly Tips #1 to find out more. So how exactly does Bond help in maintaining handsize, and what are examples of good Bond abilities?
Bond to Retrieve a Combo
Firstly, Bond abilities allow you to retrieve a specific character from your Waiting Room into your hand. This effectively grows your handsize, and allows you to maintain a stable attacking field with the least sacrifice to your handsize.
Sometimes good Bond abilities allow you to retrieve important final pieces for specific combos which are core to the deck.
Examples below:
Rewrite – RW/W15-038 U 上目遣いの静流 & RW/W15-040 U ひまわり畑のルチア
This combo allows you to retrieve ひまわり畑のルチア, which is pretty paramount in importance for the deck it is situated for. What's more, 上目遣いの静流 doesn't pay Stock for it's Bond ability.
Macross Frontier – MF/S13-039 C アイ君 & MF/S13-044 C 超時空シンデレラ ランカ・リー
This Bond allows the player to easily retrieve 超時空シンデレラ ランカ・リー and abusing her Climax ability to search for more <<Music>> or <<Vajra>> trait Character cards (including herself), making a hand creation loop easily.
Idolm@ster 2 – IM/S14-008 U 私服の真美 & IM/S14-030 R/SR 竜宮小町 亜美
This combo allows you to retrieve Mami for her +2 Soul Climax combo, which easily allows for field and hand maintenance without much effort since the CX combo will provide free Encore to all Characters on your Stage during that turn.
Other Bond cards are used for different purposes.
Bond Combos
These types of Bond abilities have an innate combo with their targets. They form interesting combos just by having both cards on the field. Some gives additional abilities while some give Power boosts. They are also the most common Bond abilities out there.
Examples are below:
Fate/stay night – FS/S08-001 RR 衛宮 士郎& FS/S08-002 RR/RRR 騎士王セイバー
Ahh, the Mother of Knights Saber…. Wait, 騎士王セイバー combo with 衛宮 士郎 is one of the best Bond abilities for their time… pity the power levels are slightly too low for current meta. However, it does have Encore [Discard a Character card] so it does stand for something…
Little Busters! Ecstasy – LB/W06-082 U "影のない少女"美鳥 & LB/W06-091 C "浮世離れ"美魚
One of the best Bond effects of all time. A free out of game with "影のない少女"美鳥 on the field allows an easy set up for 『星屑』 氷室 as well as easy deck compression as both cards are of 0 Cost to play. Decent power levels for lv1 as well.
Lucky Star – LS/W05-008 U クールでカッコいい みなみ & LS/W05-010 U 名前が呼べたゆたか
Very interesting combo. 名前が呼べたゆたか gives all cards with Bond abiliy Soul +1, perfect for a standard deck… =D
Toaru Kagaku no Index – RG/W13-058 U 常盤台のお嬢様 美琴 & RG/W13-056 R 常盤台のお嬢様 黒子
Cheap lv1 boost for Kuroko, and a Misaka on the field to fulfill the condition making it an easy-to-fulfill 7500. Broken when "冥土帰し" was still around.
Big power house 初春のクラスメイト 佐天 with Encore[Discard a Character card] and 2000 Power should 佐天のクラスメイト 初春 be on the field. Also good for hand maintenance. 佐天のクラスメイト 初春 herself gives all 初春のクラスメイト 佐天 a 1000 Power boost herself, thus easily 10k Power
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's – NA/W12- 030 R/SP "友達"すずか & NA/W12-032 R "友達"アリサ
Massive Power boost. Pretty easy to hit 10500 on defense whilst 12500 Power on offense with 2 "友達"すずか on the Stage, and using "友達"アリサ's own ability. Pretty easy to break that barrier even further as well.
Bond to Retrieve an Asset
Sometimes, cards can simply be ignored of their battle survivability purely because they are better off re-summoned. They have abilities that automatically triggers when they are put into the Stage. These assets allow you to use the card's effects again while allowing for the same field presence as the turn before.
Bonding for these useful assets also allow your hand to be filled with them before your end game. This can easily create your perfect hand near end game, with a big pile of said assets to use out every turn.
Examples are:
Angel Beats! – AB/WE10-09 C 鼓動の記憶 音無 & AB/WE10-04 R "神の使い"天使
One of the most infamous cards, "神の使い"天使 can actually be retrieved by Bond for very strong staying power, especially with the <<Death>> trait specific counter Event card 歌いたかった歌. "神の使い"天使 also allow you to check for your next trigger, easily enabling you to plan your next attack efficiently (especially during final few turns).
Kud Wafter – KW/W11-083 U 猛勉強クド & KW/W11-077 RR/RRR 『星屑』 氷室
The infamous 『星屑』 氷室. Not only does Kud allow for Himuro's out-of-game requirement, it also can serve as an attacker for that turn. Himuro when re-summoned, can heal again, thus looping the combo.
Tantei Opera Milky Holmes – MK/S11-T01 TD 活発なネロ & MK/S11-T07 TD けなげでひたむき シャロ (Pictured here)
Same as the above example, just that Nero can retrieve Another <<Detective>> trait Character card upon summon…
A very strong combo that not only serves as a decent support, but also to retrieve lv3 だんご大好き渚, while だんご大好き渚 boosts 2 Character cards 1000 Power and 1 Soul. Another added advantage is that Tomoya is retrievable by Kyou lv3's Climax ability…
Makai Senki Disgaea – DG/S02-032 U 天使見習いフロン & DG/S02-061 U 超魔王ラハール (Also pictured, the English edition)
An ultra strong lv3 that allows you to continuously retrieve more <<Demon>> or <<Angel>> trait character cards from your Waiting Room… Meaning you can loop heals quite well.
Bond to Retrieve Utility Cards
Sometimes Bond abilities retrieve counter cards. These are useful to keep applying counter threat to the opponent, and make them think twice before they commit to attack your powerful characters.
Da Capo II PC – DC/W09-083 U 超マイペース 萌 & DC/W09-087 DC/W09-087 U 勝気で快活 眞子
Great alarm ability from Mako herself, plus a 3k Counter, And to top it off doesn't have an additional trigger! What's more, it's take 1 damage to retrieve, preventing your Character cards from being stuck in level. Wonderful.
Gekijou Ban Evangelion – EV/S12-053 R 洞木 ヒカリ & EV/S12-067 C 独り占め? アスカ
Hikari with great retrieval and hand maintenance ability. One of the best Bond abilities in the game. 独り占め? アスカ also has her own hand switching ability to help you with that last push if you need it.
Same stats as Mako, but with an additional ability of granting Encore as well. Very good RR. チャーミングヴィーナス 亜美 also allows you to discard any card to gain 2500 Power. This gives you the flexibility to discard a Climax card before Refresh to push for a higher Cancel rate.
Bond… to Bond
Okay the statement doesn't make sense but it basically means Bonding for the sake of Bond. Why would anyone do that? For example, the next card in your Stock pile is a Climax card and to make deck compression better (and the lack of 1 Cost payment at the moment), you can choose to pay the Cost to retrieve, maybe even nothing.
Alternatively, some Bond abilities have the cost to take 1 card from the top of your Deck and put it to your Clock. This allows you to force-Level Up yourself. This can prevent the opponent from continuously gaining hand/field advantage because you have not level'ed up yet.
Bond to Fill up the Stage
When a player reaches lv1 earlier, it probably means the opponent has a couple of empty slots on the field, provided both players have been relatively conservative with handsize. With Bond, it is easier to flood the field with attackers as it doesn't affect the handsize of the player as much as it would.
It also allows the player to buff damage as the opponent strikes back.
Relatively… Useless Bond Abilities
Yes there are tons of those out there and they mostly belong to the older sets. Probably not recommended for use, unless you really think it is for your deck…
Thus conclude this article about Bond. There are a ton of different Bonds available out there and I am only touching slightly on the more prominent and stable Bond cards. Hope it's an interesting read. Until next time, cya all =)

Bipolar Disorder
(Manic-Depressive Illness; Manic Depression; Manic Disorder; Manic Affective Disorder)En Español (Spanish Version)More InDepth Information on This Condition
Bipolar disorder results in extreme swings in mood, energy, and ability to function. The mood changes of bipolar disorder are more dramatic than normal ups and downs. They can hurt relationships and cause poor job or school performance. Bipolar disorder can be treated. Contact your doctor if you think you may have this condition.
The two extremes of the illness are mania and depression . In mania, energy peaks. The mood may be overly happy or irritable. In depression, lethargy takes over. The mood may be very blue.
There are three forms of this condition:
- Bipolar I disorder involves recurrent episodes of mania and depression
- Bipolar II disorder involves milder episodes of mania (called hypomania) that alternate with episodes of depression
- Cyclothymic disorder may be diagnosed in patients who experience frequent depressive symptoms and hypomania for at least two years and who have been without symptoms for no more than two months
The cause of bipolar disorder is not known. This condition tends to run in families. Specific genes may play a role. It is most likely many different genes that act together.
The Brain

Risk Factors
Having family members with the disorder increases your chance of developing it. Tell your doctor if you have a family member with bipolar disorder.
Symptoms include:
- Dramatic mood swings, ranging from elated excitability to hopeless despondency
- Periods of normal mood in between ups and downs
- Extreme changes in energy and behavior
Signs and symptoms of mania include:
- Persistent and inexplicable elevation in mood
- Increased energy and effort toward goal-directed activities
- Restlessness and agitation
- Racing thoughts, jumping from one idea to another
- Rapid speech or pressure to keep talking
- Trouble concentrating
- Decreased need for sleep
- Overconfidence or inflated self-esteem
- Poor judgment, often involving spending sprees and sexual indiscretions
Signs and symptoms of depression include:
- Prolonged sad, hopeless, or empty mood
- Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness
- Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed, including sex
- Decreased energy or fatigue
- Trouble concentrating, remembering, and/or making decisions
- Restlessness or diminished movements
- Agitation
- Sleeping too much or too little
- Unintended weight loss or gain
- Thoughts of death or suicide with or without suicide attempts
Severe episodes of mania or depression may sometimes be associated with psychotic symptoms such as:
- Hallucinations
- Delusions
- Disorders of thought
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam may be done. In some cases, lab tests are ordered to rule out other causes of mood and behavior symptoms. You may be referred to a mental health specialist. Diagnosis of bipolar disorder is based on:
- Presence of symptoms over time
- Absence of other causes, such as some medications, thyroid disease, or Parkinson's disease
- Family history of bipolar disorder
Mania is diagnosed if the mood is elevated and there are three or more of the mania symptoms listed above. The symptoms must last during most of the day, nearly every day, for one week or longer. If the mood is irritable, not elevated, four symptoms must be present for a diagnosis of mania.
A depressive episode diagnosis requires that five or more of the depressive symptoms listed above. The symptoms must last for most of the day, nearly every day, for a period of two weeks or longer.
Some medicines and other medical issues may show similar features. Corticosteroids, thyroid disease, and multiple sclerosis are some examples. The diagnosis is made only when none of these causes are present.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
The following may be used. Many patients are treated with a combination of two or more of these medications:
- Lithium —a mood stabilizer, often used as initial treatment (helps prevent manic and depressive episodes from returning)
- Valproate ( Depakote ), carbamazepine (Tegretol), lamotrigine (Lamictal), topiramate (Topamax)—antiseizure medications, also used as mood stabilizers instead or in combination with lithium
- Benzodiazepines ( clonazepam [Klonopin] or lorazepam [Ativan]) can be used to treat agitation or insomnia
- Zolpidem (Ambien)—used to treat insomnia
- Antidepressants (serotonin reuptake inhibitors or bupropion [Wellbutrin])—used to treat depression
Antipsychotic medications—used for acute manic or mixed episodes and maintenance treatment
- Classic antipsychotic medications (eg, haloperidol [Haldol]) are not often used because of risks of tardive dyskinesia (uncontrollable movements)
- Atypical antipsychotic medications (eg, risperidone , olanzapine , aripiprazole , ziprasidone , and quetiapine ) are more effective with less risk of tardive dyskinesia
The plan is based on the pattern of the illness. Treatment may need to be continued indefinitely to prevent significant mood swings.
Psychotherapy may include:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy
- Counseling
- Family therapy
- Interpersonal and social rhythm therapy, a form of therapy designed to treat bipolar disorder
Electroconvulsive Therapy
Electroconvulsive therapy may be effective when medications fail. It can be used for both mania and depression.

Our Dangerous Budget and What to Do About It
A third approach would be to cut some mandatory spending to make room for more civilian discretionary spending. In general, Republicans have shown a special zeal for cutting both the civilian discretionary programs and the mandatory programs. In particular, among the mandatory programs they would end Obamacare and slash Medicaid, food stamps, and unemployment insurance.
The Democrats of course have rejected cuts to mandatory spending, especially on the grounds that such cuts would hit the poorest Americans at a time when poverty is high, unemployment is recalcitrant, and the bonanza of wealth for the richest Americans is unprecedented. (On the recent Forbes list, the richest 400 Americans now have a total of $2 trillion in net worth, an average of $5 billion per person.) Democrats are therefore far more drawn to arguing that more debt won't hurt us much, and might even help.
I would like to argue for a fourth course, one with new revenues far larger than Obama and the congressional Democrats have espoused, and with cuts to the bloated costs of the health care system. That system is flagrantly and notoriously overpriced, by roughly 50 percent compared with health care costs in other high-income countries. If even half of that excess cost were eliminated through serious reforms in health care pricing, the direct federal outlays on health would fall by as much as 1.5 percent of GDP. Revenues would also rise indirectly, by as much as 0.3 percent of GDP, because lower health care costs would also mean lower itemized tax deductions on private health care plans. In total, we could probably gain nearly 2 percent of GDP in deficit reduction without sacrificing the quality of health services.
Health care reform would entail forcing today's doctors and other health care providers to rationalize their pricing and administration, for example by legislating a requirement of one price for all patients, rather than the highly discriminatory pricing arrangements that prevail today, in which many hospitals charge whatever they can get away with, using an opaque and grossly unfair pricing system. We could also lower medical costs by increasing the number of primary-care physicians trained each year, and allowing more procedures to be done by paramedics. Hundreds of billions of dollars of savings would be achieved by cutting back the excess earnings in the health sector, including overpaid specialists, high-cost hospitals, drug companies charging sky-high prices for patent- protected medicines, and private health insurers. The heads of "not-for-profit" hospital systems could no longer expect the multimillion-dollar paychecks they are now collecting.
Progressives should also certainly support the ongoing cuts in military and intelligence spending, and additional ones pushing the military budget down to around 2 percent of GDP—a level that would still leave the US the largest military power and spender in the world. The US would have to plan on more diplomacy and fewer wars of choice, a shift that would increase rather than diminish our security.
As for civilian discretionary spending, the US needs more of it, although better concentrated. Important new civilian programs—such as low-carbon energy, upgraded infrastructure, science and technology, and training for twenty-first-century skills, such as the use of information technologies—will require new partnerships between the government and private investors. One excellent proposal, made in these pages by Felix Rohatyn,* is for a National Infrastructure Bank. The government would put in perhaps $10 billion per year at the start to leverage another $100 billion per year of private financing for roads, bridges, power grids, and coastal flood protection, among other projects. Similar public-private initiatives are needed to face the urgent challenge of climate change and to exploit the vast growth potential of science and technology, including information technology, nanotechnology, genomics, and much more.
To accomplish these goals, we will need government financing that provides a much greater role for private investors as well. I outline the costs and benefits of this proposal in the accompanying table, which shows in detail the historical values of revenues and spending, and compares the new bipartisan budget agreement with what I believe to be a far more acceptable alternative. Specifically, I would suggest that the civilian discretionary budget be targeted at 5 percent of GDP in 2023, together with defense spending at 2 percent of GDP and mandatory programs at 12.7 percent of GDP. This last figure is equal to the Democratic budgets minus the savings in health care. I would also aim to keep interest payments down to 2.4 percent of GDP by running smaller budget deficits than the Democrats now envision. In sum, total outlays in 2023 would be around 22.1 percent of GDP. We would need tax revenues of around that level as well in order to keep the debt–GDP ratio on a gradual downward path.
Where can the added 2 percent of GDP in revenues be raised? In addition to the loophole-closing that the Democrats have proposed, we should adopt a wealth tax on very high net worth, say 1 percent on net worth above $5 million in financial assets. This would raise around 1 percent of GDP from the very richest Americans. A new Financial Transactions Tax, as will be adopted in Europe in 2014, could also raise perhaps 0.25 percent of GDP. More aggressive taxation of offshore corporate income now hidden away in tax havens by the likes of Google, Amazon, and Apple would also bring in tens of billions of added revenues per year. The practice of letting hedge fund owners cap their federal income tax rates at 15 percent by using the capital gains tax rate should have been scrapped years ago. It is an abuse that has been maintained through the heavy political influence of Wall Street on both parties. There never was a scintilla of justification for it.
Revenue increases like these will certainly not be agreed on in the near future, at least not before 2015, and probably not before 2017. Such changes in the budget must be central to the program of a political movement; they will not emerge simply from an agreement of this Congress and White House. Yet the Democrats have stopped trying to think through the large-scale problems of the future. They have wittingly or unwittingly bought into the destruction of the civilian discretionary government even as they continue to talk about long-term investment in America's potential.
Such investments in our future will remain a lie until we are serious once again about funding them, by cutting waste and raising revenues as needed. All of this can be accomplished, but only by facing down the corporate lobbies, including the private health care providers, the military-industrial complex, and Wall Street. Obama wouldn't do it. Yet that's the real change that we need.
Is such a new political movement possible? I think it is, despite appearances to the contrary. Obama's coalition—the young, minorities, and university-educated urbanites—has shown that it is indeed a winning coalition, whether by the Democrats or even by a third party that comes to supplant them. A majority of public opinion favors action on the issues I have outlined: more taxation of the very rich, and more spending on education, clean energy, and job training. The public wants a smaller military and less meddling overseas. The problem is not with public opinion but with the narrow self-interest and social outlook of powerful corporations, interest groups, financial lobbyists, and large investors.
Obama has been brilliant in gaining and holding power, but unwise in failing to use it for progressive purposes. He surrounded himself in 2009 with unimaginative advisers and revolving-door bankers who told him to avoid major fights with the powerful lobbies. Rather than taking on the problem of inflated health care costs, he brought in the health care industry to support the expansion of health coverage. Rather than taking on the egregious tax abuses of the corporate sector and the very rich, he settled in January 2013 for an almost symbolic rise in taxes for those with incomes above $400,000. Rather than reforming the budget, he pursued a deficit-financed two-year stimulus that provoked the Republicans, piled up public debt, and achieved next to nothing for the long term. From the very start of 2009 he budgeted for a decline in discretionary government programs as a share of national income. Americans were first confused and ultimately disillusioned by the contradictions between Obama's high-minded rhetoric about investing in the future and the reality of dispiriting cuts to those very programs.
Much as conservatives hate to admit it, the landslide election of Bill de Blasio as mayor of New York City may prefigure the start of a new swing of the national political pendulum as well. He won a resounding victory, in part by calling for a small rise in taxes to fund preschool education, a major reform that would help relieve the disadvantages faced by poorer children. The recent meeting of mayors at the White House may give a hint of possible local pressures for increased public investments and public services. We've been on a thirty-year course of diminished public investments in our future. The dismal results are plain to see. As the historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. famously noted, we can observe cycles between private greed and public service at roughly thirty-year periods. Even though the new budget agreement looks like a new bipartisan consensus, I believe that it will be merely the lull before a far more decisive struggle to restore a forward-looking national strategy, and a budget to match.

Domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence, is serious medical, social, and public health concern (Koziol-McLain, Coates, & Lowenstein, 2001). Women who have experienced physical, psychological or sexual violence can suffer many physical and mental health problems (Taft, et al., 2013). Taking this into consideration, many victims of domestic violence seek medical attention in various healthcare settings. Victims of domestic violence customarily seek medical attention in emergency departments, hospital clinics, medical offices, prenatal clinics, family planning facilities, and other clinical settings (Koziol-McLain, Coates, & Lowenstein, 2001). The argument ensues that victims of domestic violence tend to seek help in these various healthcare settings therefore, healthcare professionals should routinely ask all women if they have experienced violence while in the healthcare facility (Taft, et al., 2013). However, some debate that there is not sufficient evidence proving that domestic violence screening helps prevent future abuse. Without hard evidence, doctors question whether screening their patients for domestic violence will help to end the abuse (Singh, 2014).
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), screening for domestic violence can help identify current or past abusive and traumatic experiences, can help to prevent abuse in the future, minimize disability, and can also lead to a better health status. The World Health Organization (WHO) provide many tools, guidelines, and recommendations for screening victims of domestic violence (WHO, 2013).
Health care providers are in a distinctive position to become involved and connect with victims of domestic violence while providing support (Office on Women's Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2013). Over a decade ago domestic violence was declared a national epidemic and now many health professionals are required to screen for domestic violence in accordance with national health policies (O'Doherty, et al., 2014).
The Department of Health and Human Services have implemented certain guidelines for women's preventive health services which will help to make sure that women can receive, without cost-sharing, a complete set of suggested preventive health services. With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, many insurance plans are required to offer preventive health services which include screening and counseling for domestic violence (HHS, 2013).
A study by Koziol-McLain, Coates, and Lowenstein (2001) found that a short violence screen could identify in a subset of women who are at high risk for the different forms of domestic violence (i.e., verbal, physical, and sexual partner abuse) the likelihood they would experience abuse four months after their study. In similar research conducted by Houry et al. (2004), they examined the predictive validity of a three-question domestic violence screen used in an emergency department population. Their research found that women who screened positive for domestic violence were 11 times more likely to encounter violence from a current or past partner over a four month period after they had been screened.
The article (Singh, 2014) published on npr.org highlights the analysis written by O'Doherty et al. (2014) which states that screening victims for domestic violence doesn't appear to cause them any harm in the short term and also increases identification of domestic violence it doesn't however, appear that in the long term, screening provides increases in effective referral to agencies that support victims. This study provides us with a direction for future studies and trials that should be conducted in order to take a step in the right direction. Mainly, to provide healthcare professionals and policy makers with evidence that by screening for domestic violence, violence will decrease and women's wellbeing will increase (O'Doherty, et al., 2014).

Product Information
- G.I. JOE: Retaliation Ninja Commando Snake Eyes from Hasbro
- Part of the G.I. JOE: Retaliation brand
- We recommend this product for ages 4 and up
- 2 AAA batteries required TTPM trusts
What It Is
The Ninja Commando Snake Eyes action figure is based on the upcoming movie G.I. JOE: Retaliation. This 10-inch action figure features ninja battle sound effects when kids press the button on its belt. The figure also comes with two swords that can be loaded into the holders on the back of the figure. When kids press the button on the back of the figure, the figure's arms reach back and grab the swords, making Snake Eyes ready for battle.
Is It Fun?
The cool quick-draw weapon feature of the Ninja Commando Snake Eyes action figure helps bring the action of the new movie to life for G.I. JOE fans. The ninja battle sound effects help make the play more realistic as kids recreate battle sequences from the movie or imagine all-new battles with this action figure.
Who It's For
The Ninja Commando Snake Eyes action figure is for G.I. JOE fans ages 4 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
Two AAA batteries are included, but these power the in-store try-me features. It's recommended that you replace them before you play for best results.
Also available is a G.I. JOE: Retaliation Ninja Commando Roadblock action figure.
The movie is rated PG-13 because of violence, so it may not be appropriate for all children even if the violence is very cartoon-like. This is always a challenge with toys based on these types of movies. Collectors and G.I. JOE fans want plenty of non-stop action and insist on at least a PG-13 rating. As always, parents need to determine what's appropriate for their family and their individual kids. For kids who love G.I. JOE and action figures, though, there's plenty of play built into these action figures even if the kids don't see the movie.

I put the sheets on the bed, and one week later I washed them. The bottom sheet litterally fell apart. Both sheets had runs in them like hose would have. I had had them nearly two months and Overstock would do nothing about it. Carol Allsup
I read the reviews saying they ripped as soon as they tried to put them on the bed, I thought it was misuse but as soon as I attempted to put them on sure as day they ripped. Awesome.
The fitted sheet ripped as soon as we put it on and continued to rip as we used it. We have now thrown the fitted sheet away. The pillow cases and top sheet we continue to use and have been fine so far.
I had purchased several (8) different sheets from Overstock and I am really disappointed. Each and every bottom sheet has used elastic which has been tied I had to replace the elastic within the second wash. This is not the way to do business. I would like to know if you are every going to remedy this problem. The sheets do look perfect when you first open the package.
I liked them so much I bought the lime green and the blue ones !!!
Sheets are not bad, soft feel but definitely not satin. Not a bad deal for the $** price but not impressive either so don't pay more than $**.
These sheets are made very cheaply, the fitted sheet is too big for my mattress and every little thing stains them! (ie fabric softener)
Not sure how they will hold up but am very pleased with color, which is very important for the young lady they were bought for.

Hi all,
I've read through a lot of the threads on this board, and have gleaned a lot of useful information, but I have formulated a new question of my own:
Imagine you have two days in New Orleans, and a budget of $120. Where would you go to eat, and what would you order? Assume that tips and beverages are excluded from this budget.
For my trip specifically, I will be staying in the Central Business District, but have a reasonably large walking radius, plus that which can be reached quickly via NORTA -- I am thinking mainly Garden District, Central City, CBD, Warehouse District, and the French Quarter.
Thanks so much for your help; I really look forward to your answers.
re: rouxdauphine
Late August / early September.
Day 1: Breakfast at Surry's or Old Coffee Pot ($10-$12)
Happy Hour Pizza from Domenica ($7)**
Late night bite to eat at Coop's ($8-$10)
Day 2: Breakfast at Cafe Du Monde ($5)
$20 3-course lunch at Coquette ($20)
Splurge a little on dinner at Herbsaint ($30)
**The happy hour at Domenica could easilly be substituted for a po boy at Parkway
re: shanefink
. Coquette's lunch is $23. You'll get far better food at August for $20.12. I like Gizmo's plan.
If the two days fall before September 1, I would suggest the "coolinary" menu lunches at Commander's Palace and Galatoire's, a "coolinary" dinner at GW Fins, and the happy hour pizza at Domenica for one dinner.
Hmm, if the budget really was $120, I'd start by skipping breakfast...pack some granola bars, drink the hotel's free lobby (or in room) coffee. Save your $$ for lunch/dinner....I'd do the $20.12 prix fixe lunch at Restaurant August one day, followed by dinner at Cochon Butcher...do lunch #2 at Lily's Cafe for inexpensive vietnamese food (1813 Magazine St) and then have pizza happy hour at Domenica (half price pizzas and wines by the glass). You'll have $$ left over for pralines or turtles from Southern Candymakers...
When are you going? If you are going before the end of August, you are at the right time for the Coolinary Menus. Below is assuming you are going before September 1st.
Day 1:
Breakfast: Surrey's ($10)
Lunch: Galatoire's (Coolinary Menu $20)
Dinner: The Pelican Club (Coolinary Menu $35)
Day 2: (Thursday)
Breakfast: Stella ($10)
Lunch: Joey K's ($15)
Dinner: The Bombay Club (Coolinary Menu Lobster Dinner $25)
We experienced all of these very recently and all were the highlights of our trip.
Thanks so much for the helpful replies! My visit was cancelled on account of the weather, but I will certainly use these recommendations when I am next in New Orleans.
Try and order of beignets from Cafe Beignet. Won't break the bank and they are awesome! I went to the one on Bourbon Street. I have them all the time at Cafe Du Monde but this new find will have me getting them at Cafe Beignet from now on.
Have an order of Mr. B's bbq shrimp for lunch, and a delicious grapefruit margarita. So delicious!
Casamento's should be open again in September if it's oysters you are looking for.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 ships, but still no RHEL 7 in sight
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.5 has reached general availability following a six-week beta period, making it the first minor release of RHEL 6 to ship since version 6.4 in February. As with previous RHEL 6 point-releases, the update doesn't bring any massive changes to the platform, but it does add support for a few …
Major changes
Delaying the release to Q1 next year won't be a serious problem for most customers. RHEL 7, based on what Fedora 18 and 19 look like, will introduce significant changes in how "things get done" from an operational standpoint (for example, replacing System V inits with systemd, as well as the ability to finally do in-place major version upgrades). As a result people are going to need to take some time to adapt their existing processes and procedures to accommodate those changes.
Re: Major changes
Based on RHEL 5 & 6, there was a public beta first followed around 6 months later by the GA release. If they follow the same pattern this time, even if the beta came out tomorrow, the GA wouldn't be until mid-2014.
Re: Major changes
Bwahahaha! If you think RHEL7 will show up any time close to the first of the year, I've got a bridge to sell you. We'll be lucky to get the BETA within a year from its promised date of early 2013. And GA will not be before 6 to 12 months after the beta.
The birthing of 7 is going to make the drawn-out cock-up of 6 look mild in comparison.
Does it really include Docker?
I read the Release Notes and the Tech Notes and I couldn't find any mention of Docker. Is it really included?
Re: Does it really include Docker?
I was under the assumption that Docker is still very young and still under lots of development? I was surprised when I read it came with 6.5 tbh
Hello? Red Hat is anyone paying attention?
I don't see anything in the documentation that indicates they have fixed the awful bug in KVM where a system with a Haswell CPU will no longer allow 64 bit BSD guests to boot. This is a really blatant and hideous bug.
People really give a shit about Red Hat don't they? FIVE comments in three days?
