Jenny Lake in the Tetons. I love this place. This was someplace I went multiple times as a child, but haven't been back in over 20 years. Going as an adult was like seeing everything through new eyes. I appreciated the beauty so much more. I guess I'm finally growing up.
I felt that way in Yellowstone National Park, in particular. Now I get why it's a big deal. Incredible.
There you go. It was so therapeutic to get away with just the family and leave the world behind. Now that we're back I need to somehow wade through my email inbox and giant to-do list. I'm SO behind on everything right now. And somehow I need to catch up on the last days of the Olympics that are filling up my DVR.
But more importantly, there is only one week of summer vacation left. Yikes. I'm feeling emotions ranging back and forth between sadness that summer went so fast, to guilt wondering if we made the most of it, to sheer joy at the thought of the house actually staying clean for more than a few minutes each day as well as the remote possibility that I might actually regain control of my life. We'll see!

scott123,I completely share your vision of what a NY style, and especially a NY "street" or "slice" style, should be and look like. That wasn't always the case. For example, when I first started the Lehmann NY thread, without any real firsthand knowlege of the NY style, I made pizzas with large rims and the crusts were not particularly thin (being a novitiate, I was operating off of general thickness factor values that Tom Lehmann and Big Dave Ostrander discussed in articles). Then I was told by members who lived and grew up in NYC that NY style pizzas do not have large rims and also that they tend to the light side in terms of crust color. What I eventually discovered is that our members favor large rims with open and airy crumbs and with a lot of bubbles and fermentation blisters and a lot of crust color, including a decent amount of char. And a more artisan appearance, maybe more along the lines of the NY elite style, and often requiring unique oven configurations beyond a standard home oven with a simple pizza stone. Although I personally like a somewhat thicker crust for the NY style in my home oven and arrangement, over time I have steered others to lower thickness factor values that are more representative of the NY style. What I would personally like to see is an 18" NY street or slice style pizza in the classic mold--and baked on a stone surface. Although I once said that 16" was a common NYC size, which I confirmed by looking at the menus of some of the more popular NYC pizza shops, I was told by members in the know that the most common sizes are 14" and 18". If a member can come up with a great looking photo of a real 14", 16" or 18" NYC street or slice style pizza, preferably along with a dough formulation that is detailed enough for our members to use, I would consider adding it to the links to photos in Reply 5 in this thread.

firstname.lastname@example.com Undoubtedly the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. This is my sixth pair of Scouts, in varying colors. I will now order another pair.
Brian Metoyer Great shoe. Lite weight. Like going barefoot.
Charlie Cleary The 'Green' is my sixth pair of Scouts. The fit and wearability are beyong belief. I don't do long distance, or heavy duty anything - just enjoy wearing a comfortable and stylish shoe.
email@example.com Extremely confortable, fits perfectly for wide feet. Plus a rgeat style. A very good choice.
firstname.lastname@example.com Blown away by the comfort and weight of this shoe. Use for sport (weightlifting and cardio classes). Like wearing a sock but with comfy sole. Performance of this shoe is amazing too. Didn't need to bed them in like my minimum New Balance. No blisters or discomfort throughout my runs, gym classes and general use straight out of the box. Keep my feet cool throughout training too.
Originally wanted to get Nike 4.0 but for £100++ I won't even look at set for what you pay for Etnies Scout. Enties is a great underrated brand with real world performance and price. Ive been an Etnies customer for over 10 years and will continue to be for a long long time.
Well done guys. It pleases me greatly that company make excellent products that work so great and you guys do it better than any shoe maker I've ever experienced.
firstname.lastname@example.com I now havw six colors of this shoe design. So lightweight, it's like no shoes at all. Very comfortable, and no sign of fabric stretch. I check the Etnies site daily for additional color choices. A great fit, value, and an often admired style.

sonia sterck verry verry light shoes, but still very comfortable
Jason Luster This shoe is amazing, it is EXTREMELY lightweight and also very stylish. What is truly amazing about this shoe is its comfort, though. This shoe is comparable to the popular Nike Free Run shoe, I was worried the Scout would not be wide enough for my foot, which is a common problem for me, but it literally fit like a glove and it is my new favorite shoe!
mathias brems nice shoe and really comfortable

Selena is stupid for what she did ! I hope it backfires on her ! She has lost a lot of fans including me ! Justin is amazing . She just needs to SHUT UP! I hope he continues to tour . I cant wait to go to more concerts. People need to stop saying bad things about him. They are the haters that he doesnt need. You can hate all you want but lets see you make it as far as he did. And the maybe you could have the right to , but until then keep your mouth shut. He has a talent that not alot of people have and he has a right to be where he is. He worked for it… You wouldnt like if people were saying that about you if you were in his place. If you have something rude to say…. say it to yourself. All you are doing is being a bully. I love you Justin ! <3333

Two things I noticed. First, from the glazed look on his face, he seems to be impaired. Not exactly the kind of person anyone should want hanging with their 14 year old son or 17 year old daughter. Second, in his desire to wear his pants so low, he's had to resort to "toddler/old man" style elastic waistbands with drawstrings. That style is usually reserved for little boys and elderly men who can't be relied upon to remember to button and zip their pants anymore because they (the little boys and old men) are too infantile.

Extremity angiography is a test used to see the arteries in the hands, arms, feet, or legs. It is also called peripheral angiography.
Angiography uses x-rays and a special dye to see inside the arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
Angiography of the extremity; Peripheral angiography; Lower extremity angiogram; Peripheral angiogram;
This test is done in a hospital. You will lie on an x-ray table. You may ask for some medicine to make you sleep and relaxed (sedative) if you are anxious about the test.
The health care provider will shave and clean an area, usually in the groin.
Certain treatments can be done during this procedure. These treatments include:
The health care team will check your pulse (heart rate), blood pressure, and breathing during the procedure.
The catheter is removed when the test is done. Pressure is placed on the area for 10 - 15 minutes to stop any bleeding. A bandage is then put on the wound.
The arm or leg where the needle was placed should be kept straight for 6 hours after the procedure. You should avoid strenuous activity, such as heavy lifting, for 24 - 48 hours.
You should not eat or drink anything for 6 - 8 hours before the test.
You may be told to stop taking certain medications such as aspirin or other blood thinners for a short while before the test. Never stop taking any medicines unless told to do so by your health care provider.
Make sure your health care provider knows about all the medicines you take, including those bought without a prescription. This includes herbs and supplements.
Tell your health care provider if you:
The x-ray table is hard and cold. You may want to ask for a blanket or pillow. You may feel some stinging when the numbing medicine is injected. You may also feel some pressure as the catheter is moved.
The dye can cause a feeling of warmth and flushing. This is normal and usually goes away in a few seconds.
You may have tenderness and bruising at the site of the catheter insertion after the test. Seek immediate medical help if you have:
Your doctor may order this test if you have symptoms of a narrowed or blocked blood vessel in the arms, hands, legs, or feet.
The test may also be done to diagnose:
The x-ray shows normal structures for the age of the patient.
An abnormal result is common due to narrowing and hardening of the arteries in the arms or legs due to plaque build-up (hardening of the arteries ) in the artery walls.
The x-ray may show a blockage in the vessels caused by:
Abnormal results may also be due to:
Complications may include:
There is low-level radiation exposure. However, most experts feel that the risk of most x-rays is smaller than other risks we take every day. Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of the x-ray.

Cushing syndrome is a disorder that occurs when your body has a high level of the hormone cortisol.
Hypercortisolism; Cortisol excess
The most common cause of Cushing syndrome is taking too much glucocorticosteroid medicine. Prednisone, dexamethasone, and prednisolone are examples of this type of medicine. Glucocorticoids mimic the action of the body's natural hormone cortisol. These drugs are used to treat conditions such as asthma, skin inflammation, cancer, bowel disease, joint pain, rheumatoid arthritis.
Other people develop Cushing syndrome because their bodies produce too much cortisol. This hormone is made in the adrenal glands. Causes of too much cortisol are:
Most people with Cushing syndrome will have:
Skin changes that are often seen:
Muscle and bone changes include:
Women with Cushing syndrome often have:
Men may have:
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask about your symptoms and the medicines you are taking. Tell the provider about all medicines you have been taking for the past several months.
Laboratory tests that may be done to diagnose Cushing syndrome and identify the cause are:
Tests to determine the cause or complications may include:
Treatment depends on the cause.
Cushing syndrome caused by corticosteroid use :
With Cushing syndrome caused by a pituitary or a tumor that releases ACTH (Cushing disease), you may need:
With Cushing syndrome due to an adrenal tumor or other tumors :
Removing the tumor may lead to full recovery, but there is a chance that the condition will return.
Survival for people with ectopic tumors depends on the tumor type. Untreated, Cushing syndrome can be life-threatening.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of Cushing syndrome.
If you take a corticosteroid, know the signs and symptoms of Cushing syndrome. Getting treated early can help prevent any long-term effects of Cushing syndrome. If you use inhaled steroids, you can decrease your exposure to the steroids by using a spacer and by rinsing your mouth after breathing in the steroids.

iPhone App 0289 479 1817 2
iPad App
. . . one of those fantastic apps that shows you why the iPad was created . . .
This impressive product has in fact taken the technical possibilities of an app and worked upwards from there -- as opposed to making a pre-conceived idea fit the format in retrospect . . . after all this in-depth insight into manuscript choices, pitch considerations and metronome markings, comes a remarkable excerpt of Bernstein talking about the symphony in 1979. He roots the symphony in philosophy and faith in a deeply personal, open-hearted manner that I simply can't imagine any of today's musicians matching . . . Bernstein concludes: '. . . Beethoven is struggle, the struggle for peace, for fulfilment of spirit, for serenity and triumphal joy. He achieved it in his music -- not only in his Ninth but in all his symphonies, and in his quartets and piano sonatas, and trios and concertos. Somehow it must be possible for us to learn from his music by hearing it: no, not hearing but listening to it, with all our power of attention and concentration.' There can surely be few better partners in such a journey than this new app.
Aside from having four stellar recordings of the 9th . . . [it] is of course revealing to hear the differences in conducting from performance to performance, but the differences seem even more stark than if you had simply switched CDs or even mp3s because the shift is so seamless. How much more varied the differences of shape, tone, and tempo when so closely juxtaposed . . . the app also includes brief interviews which you can separately watch . . . There is great variety among these discussion and they're genuinely revealing about the 9th . . . It's treat enough to hear Sir John Eliot Gardiner talking about Beethoven, but it's just plain fun to see him perk up when a favorite part is coming up. Overall, this is a brilliant app, a combination of CD recording, DVD performance, score, manuscript, program notes, and analysis, all wrapped up in a smooth, slick interface that lets you cycle through it all with ease and bring up exactly what you want at any moment during the piece. Not bad for $15.
What's fun is that you can switch between the music by just pointing to it. This is more than a listening experience . . . The app itself is very easy to use, the quality of the music is fabulous, and watching a scrolling version of the sheet music is an innovative and unique experience for most. It's a way to experience the music rather than just hear it . . . I really enjoyed the full experience this app offered users. The music was fabulous but rather that just sitting back and listen I was able to become fully immersed thanks to the visuals.
The app is absolutely bursting with features and content beginning with four recordings of Beethoven's 9th Symphony to fully connect to. You can switch between all four in real time without missing a beat, and you have a brilliantly designed view while listening . . . When you go into this app, you may just think of Beethoven's 9th Symphony as "Ode To Joy" with the single familiar sequence, but after diving into the app you will have a whole new appreciation for how much depth there is, and what a remarkable artful expression it is . . . an expertly crafted app that can provide new appreciation for an astounding piece of music.
. . . a music education app that really makes the iPad shine . . . this app will give you a music lesson you won't soon forget . . . it is worth the price . . .
. . . excellent . . .
Certainly one of the most addicting apps I've downloaded in quite some time . . . "Beethoven's 9th Symphony" will make you fall in love with Beethoven all over again . . . the most enlightening way to hear and watch the music . . .
. . . an epic iPad app that lets you explore one of the greatest symphonies ever written in a unique, compelling way. Classical music lovers will definitely want to check it out. "Beethoven's 9th Symphony" uses every trick in the multimedia tool box . . . Having the four concerts in sync for comparison is unique and valuable. This app is a great experience for adults and young musicians. I can't think of a better way to share this musical treasure in such depth . . . If you're interested in classical music, I think this is an app you will return to again and again. There's a lot of information, as well as the visual and sonic joys.
. . . [the] App features four of DG's greatest recordings of this iconic work . . . The technology available to the user in this app shows how individual our greatest recordings of this iconic symphonic masterpiece are . . .
Sing a song of joy . . . revolutionary technology . . .
One of the most compelling features is the ability to move among four different recordings of the symphony . . .
. . . [this] new app not only provides excellent running commentary as the symphony plays, but also lets you compare four different versions, skipping from one to the other without missing a beat in an intuitive interface. The effect is to open up the music, revealing that interpretation makes a difference that is both subtle in the moment and profound over the course of the symphony . . . experiencing the Ninth through the app changes your experience of the symphony. It turns it from a passive yet compelling listening experience to an active one . . . Apps such as these offer a better way of understanding music and recording . . .
The Beethoven's 9th Symphony App features four of DG's greatest recordings of this iconic work, with the amazing ability to switch instantly between each performance on-the-fly . . . two hours of specially filmed exclusive interviews with conductors, musicians and writers, offering fascinating perspectives on what this greatest of works means to people around the world.
. . . my iPad sucked me deeper into Beethoven's Ninth Symphony than I thought possible . . . an app devoted to the work that rendered me slack-jawed with wonder, like a Victorian on his first visit to a cinema . . . The technology is a marvel . . . the four recordings are aligned so that you don't miss a nanosecond of music by switching from one to the other. Very cool . . . the lurch to 'period' pitch and tempo makes you feel as if you've stumbled into a different piece of music -- light, thrilling . . . the app's most delicious gimmick: a 'beat map' of the orchestra in which each instrument is represented by a dot that throbs when it's playing. The pulsating dance produced by Beethoven's manic scherzo is especially fun to watch . . . I'm happy to leap between the four recordings, learning more about orchestral phrasing in the process than in 30 years of laborious comparisons between LPs or CDs. I only wish the app had been around when I was younger . . . the Beethoven Ninth app has even more potential to change minds, because classical music in British schools is far more dumbed-down than English literature. Michael Gove doesn't have the money or the time to train a new generation of music teachers. Perhaps he could sack a few and give their pupils this app instead. Did I mention that it costs less than a tenner?
. . . astounding . . . All fascinating . . . this is a terrific app . . . I could not recommend it more highly.
The more you explore, in fact, the more you discover about how each interpretation is actually rather distinct . . . a wonderful supplement to any advanced music class or even a more introductory approach within an arts subsection . . . The UI is flawless, and the perspectives shown in the videos could not be matched even with house seats. The information is accessible, never dry, and makes classical music come to life . . . [the app] will take those already headed towards classical music on a breathtaking chronological tour of Beethoven's tour de force and it should convince even the most cynical teen that both the composer and the symphony have musical merit beyond their expectations.
. . . delightful and easy to use . . .
. . . contains multitudes, brilliantly leveraging the interactive possibilities of digital multimedia to redefine the parameters of music scholarship . . . a remarkable achievement, and let's hope it opens up the floodgates for likeminded apps moving beyond Beethoven to . . . other composer luminaries.
All the music is crisp and brilliant as these are highly praised recordings. Everything runs smoothly, and you can continue to listen to each movement after you go back to home screen . . . Absolutely worth it.
. . . the most fascinating aspect of the app is the complete performance, or rather, the four performances that you can cut between as you're listening . . . The app provides an ideal way to experience the developing ideologies and standards of orchestral playing over the last half century . . .
Just a decade ago, it would have taken three or four reference books, a couple of DVDs and the deft handling of four sets of CDs to even begin to approximate the possibilities contained in this app. . . My favourite feature from the experience is being able to switch between performances on the fly . . . It's also fun to play pitch-change between the modern orchestras and the period instruments. This whole experience is a laugh-out-loud-at-its-beauty showcase of the wonders awaiting the world of art music in the early 21st century.
Every so often I see something so incredible and exciting and magnificent, I practically trip over my feet running to write about it . . . [the App "Beethoven's 9th Symphony"] is one of those things . . . [It] is essentially everything you could ever hope for in an app examining, arguably, the most important work of music of all time. It is well thought out, digs deep enough into theory and history, and presents the information in a multitude of ways . . . Four great recordings . . . The variations in each are delightful and it's fun to pick out the nuances and changes that make up your favorite . . . It's difficult to imagine how the app could be improved, it is a companion worthy of the masterpiece it chronicles.
. . . a phenomenon . . . the most amazing feature is the ability to toggle among the performances without losing a beat. Differences of tempo and interpretive detail are instantly apparent . . . It may be the wondrous technology that has attracted buyers as much as the content conveyed, but that, too, is tremendous, and it is good to get it into people's hands, whatever the mechanism. In a broader sense, with music education drying up on so many fronts, it is wonderful to see . . . Touch Press opening dynamic and richly promising new avenues.
Who would have thought, even five years ago, that you could switch between four landmark performances of Beethoven's final symphony while following a score, look at the original manuscript itself, or see footage of John Eliot Gardiner or Leonard Bernstein talking about the piece -- on your phone? Touch Press teamed up with Deutsche Grammophon to create "Beethoven's 9th Symphony", winner of the new BBC Music Magazin App Award.
Wie sch�n, dass es jetzt eine App f�r iPhone und iPad gibt, die k�nftigen Musikwissenschaftlern und Laien das Leben in doppelter Hinsicht erleichtern kann . . . verschiedene Partiturversionen [stehen] zur Auswahl, die im Takt der Musik mitlaufen. Das ist lustig und erleichtert dem Anf�nger das Partiturlesen.
. . . eine umfangreiche, wunderbar vielseitige und kreative App zur 9. Sinfonie . . . die App zahlt jeden Cent durch Information und Konzertmitschnitte zur�ck . . . Beethoven's 9th Symphony wird einem der bekanntesten und bedeutendsten St�cke der Klassik gerecht. Die Tiefen der App sind dem Preis der Vollversion komplett angemessen . . . Besonders �berzeugte uns die grafische Darstellung der S�tze. Es ist eine App f�r Musikfreunde und solche, die es werden m�chten -- und alle, denen die Klassik wohlige Schauer �ber den R�cken laufen l�sst.
Nicht nur f�r Beethoven-Fans ist die Musik-App Beethoven's 9th Symphonie zu empfehlen . . . [sie] erm�glicht Musikinteressierten einen beispielhaften Einblick in ein komplexes Orchesterwerk . . . ein gutes Geschenk f�r Klassik-Fans . . .
. . . [eine] gelungene App . . .
Sch�n gemacht!
. . . ein sehr charmantes und sachkundiges Programm . . . ganz einfach . . . Hinter dieser Einfachheit verbirgt sich eine gro�e Komplexit�t, die H�ren und Sehen sehr inspirierend vereint. Ohne viel Vorwissen kann man schon nach ein paar Minuten verstehen, was Beethoven mit seiner 9. eigentlich meint. Und das lernt man ohne gro�e Anstrengung. Aber der Reihe nach. Am meisten Spa� macht mir die Zeitleiste mit den Aufnahmen . . . [die Texte] sind gut und zum Teil auch lustig, weil sie Musikwissenschaftliches in eine bildhafte Erz�hlung packen . . . Ein Highlight ist auch, dem Dirigenten John Eliot Gardiner zuzusehen und zuzuh�ren, wie er den zweiten Satz der Sinfonie �ber Kopfh�rer h�rt. Seine Kommentare, seine Bewegungen zur Musik, sein L�cheln: k�stlich . . . Das Sch�ne an dieser App ist: Alles ist darauf ausgelegt, diese Musik zu einem f�hlbaren und nicht eben blo� intellektuellen Erlebnis zu machen. Klug, verspielt, tiefgr�ndig, seri�s gemacht und sympathisch -- in einer Mischung, wie man sie selten findet.
. . . faszinierend ist vor allem, dass er sich dem grandiosen Werk Beethovens -- �ber das H�ren hinaus -- nach eigenem Gutd�nken n�hern kann.
Mit der Beethoven-9-App landeten Deutsche Grammophon und Touch Press einen echten Coup. Das Angebot, das vier legend�re Einspielungen von Beethovens neunter Sinfonie aus den Archiven des Gelblabels bietet und auf dem vier verschiedene Partituren zum interaktiven Mitverfolgen der Musik bereitstehen, erfreut sich gro�er Beliebtheit bei Nutzern von iPhone, iPad und iPod touch. Bereits �ber 700.000 Mal wurde sie bisher auf der ganzen Welt heruntergeladen, in der ersten Woche nach Ihrem Erscheinen landete sie in den USA, Kanada und Korea sogar in einer Top-Ten-Position in den Free App Charts aller Kategorien. F�r die gro�e Akzeptanz d�rften nicht zuletzt auch die informativen Video-Interviews mit ber�hmten Experten wie den Dirigenten Leonard Bernstein, Gustavo Dudamel und John Eliot Gardiner sorgen.
. . . [es ist der Spagat gelungen,] sowohl Kenner klassischer Musik als auch Liebhaber und Laien zufriedenzustellen. Mit dieser ebenso intelligenten wie aufwendig und spielerisch gestalteten, multimedialen M�glichkeit kann man Beethovens 9. Symphonie auf eine neue, anregende Weise kennen lernen, anh�ren, betrachten . . . Diese ungeheuer vielf�ltige App spricht alle Sinne an, sie erm�glicht die unterschiedlichsten Herangehensweisen . . . lustvoll, spielerisch, intellektuell und ohne besondere Vorkenntnisse . . .

History comes alive
By Trevor Hayes
Several of today's stars continued to carve out a bit of history for themselves this week alongside some notable Hall of Famers.
Doubled-Up: With double No. 50 Wednesday, Brian Roberts became the fourth player with three or more 50-double seasons. Hall of Famers Stan Musial and Paul Waner each did it three times while Hall of Famer Tris Speaker did it five times. Including his 51 last season, Roberts has put together his second straight 50-double season, putting him in an elite club with nine players – including three Hall of Famers: Speaker, Joe Medwick and Billy Herman.
On the subject of doubles, the same night Roberts got 50, the Royals Billy Butler hit three doubles in a game for fourth time this season. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Butler's binge is unprecedented. No player has had four three-double games in a season dating back to 1901.
Quick Hit: A lot has been written about Derek Jeter tying Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig on the Yankees hits list. But one note that might slip by is that Jeter is now the fourth active player to hold his franchise's all-time hits mark. Ivan Rodriguez returned to Texas earlier this season, where he has the most hits in Senators/Rangers club history. The other two all-time franchise leaders for the team they currently play for are Colorado's Todd Helton and Tampa Bay's Carl Crawford.
Doc and the Babe: The Yankees might not like Roy Halladay very much. Most recently he stopped their seven-game winning streak with a one-hitter, but the Blue Jays' ace has always been tough against the Bombers. He holds a .739 winning percentage against the Yankees with a 17-6 record. The only man better than him (min. 20 decisions) made his name as a hitter in New York. However, as a pitcher in Boston, future Hall of Famer Babe Ruth went 17-5 (.773) against his eventual team.
Slugging shortstops: Hanley Ramirez connected for the 100th home run of his career on Sunday, making him the fourth-fastest shortstop to reach the century mark. At 595 games, only Alex Rodriguez (470 games), Nomar Garciaparra (491) and Hall of Famer Ernie Banks (500) got there faster.
Goodbye to the Real McCoy: Longtime Reds beat writer Hal McCoy will be honored Wednesday prior to Cincinnati's game against the Astros. The 2002 J.G. Taylor Spink winner announced earlier this season he will be retiring after 37 years covering the Reds. As a special treat, McCoy's paper, Dayton Daily News, is sponsoring half-price tickets to the game.
Trevor Hayes is the editorial production manager at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

My name is Jason Olson and I have three passions in life: family, music, and computers. For my "day job", I work on "the next version of Windows" at a small company named Microsoft. Outside of work, I'm a musician and family man. I'm a jazz pianist local to the Seattle, WA performing with the Seattle Jazz Singers (among others). I'm also a published arranger/composer for Sound Music Publication. My life tends to be "an ongoing struggle" between my passions for music and computers. Finally, I'm trying to bring these things together!

San Antonio Community Hospital's Emergency Department serves the community 24 hours a day, providing basic emergency services including advanced monitoring capabilities. Our staff is certified in advanced adult and pediatric life support.
Medical direction for the Emergency Department is provided by Mountain View Emergency Physicians Medical Group, Inc. A panel of on call physician specialists, who are members of the hospital's medical staff, are available when needed.
The Emergency Department also serves as a paramedic base station, able to direct pre-hospital care via certified nurses.
Patients arriving at the Emergency Department, other than by ambulance, will be seen by a triage nurse first. The goal of triage is to determine the severity of the condition. To do this, the triage nurse will ask the reason for your visit, take a brief history, and perform a physical examination. Those patients who may be unstable and whose condition could deteriorate without immediate attention will be treated first. This is why some patients receive priority treatment.
In an attempt to decrease wait time and increase comfort, the triage nurse may begin diagnostic testing or treatment according to well-tested protocols. For example, medications may be given or an x-ray ordered.
Based on the severity of your condition, the triage nurse will assign you to one of three treatment areas: the main Emergency Department, ED South, or ED North. The most severely ill or injured patients will be seen in the main Emergency Department. If your condition is stable, you will be seen in either ED South or ED North, when these treatment areas are open.
You will have a nurse assigned to you in the treatment area. A physician or nurse practitioner will be in charge of your care. After a history and physical exam are performed, you may need to have some diagnostic studies performed, such as blood tests or X-rays. The nurse may start intravenous (IV) therapy or place you on special monitors. Based upon your condition, and the results of your tests, you will be either discharged home or admitted to the hospital. You may need to be transferred to another hospital.
If you are discharged from the Emergency Department, you will be given after-care instructions to follow at home. In order to get well, it is important that you understand and follow these instructions.
Before you leave the hospital, please do not hesitate to ask questions about your diagnosis and treatment. We want you to understand your condition and what it will take for you to recover. It is essential that you follow-up with your personal physician or the physician you are referred to by the Emergency Department.
If you have any questions after discharge, please call the Emergency Department at 909.920.4747. You may receive an invoice for the Hospital's charges for your emergency visit, as well as separate statements for all physician services. As a courtesy, the Hospital's Business Services Department will bill your insurance for Hospital charges.

My Ugly Experience with S*x Seeking Movie Producer- Upcoming actress, Olaitan Ogungbile
I packed my things and I came to Lagos. I got in early and met them at the location. But throughout that day, I didn't work. When we got to the hotel, I was like where is my room and he showed me the room.
He came in with me. I told him I was hungry and he ordered for two plates of food and the next thing he removed his clothes.
I was like are you removing your clothes, and he said yes now. I now said to him, are you sleeping here?, and he said yes. Then I asked him where I was going to sleep, and he said here of course. And I said no, that we were not going to share the same room. I was really very furious and talking aloud. So he said I shouldn't take it overboard that he will ask them to arrange another room for me and he did. So I went to sleep in my room.
Funny enough, he didn't even bring my food to me. I didn't eat that night. The following day I didn't shoot any movie. Someone that promised me transport fare, he didn't give me a kobo. So I left and went back to school. He's not the only one. They are many.

∫☺ƪ , give her a break joor as old as she is, am sure she wasn't aware dat most of all em actresses e.g TONTO Dikeh and odas dat pretend to be decent give away their bodies 4 FAME....I wantd to go into d entertainment world initially but 4 me to start I noticed ppl wer already placing orders on when to patronize my body. So I backed out and turned ma eyes away 4rm it, Mbok there is always a price to pay 4 FAME #gurls Rock#
ReplyDelete her allegations are not special or news worthy if the producer is not named,although i applaud her for coming out to admit what most of her colleagues regularly deny especially the female actresses at the fore front probably because they have all been served as producer's breakfast,lunch and dinner at one time or the other so they dont really have a moral ground to talk

ReplyDeleteRepliesmuyiwa ademola and 1000 people might have slept with her tire,but it was her free choice and she agreed for them to do so without being forced..the issue she is outlining is that producers force them to sleep with him even though they dont want to for their own reasons there is a massive difference between doing something of your own free will and borderline rape/legalized rape

I agree with @lucabree...that was her choice....in this case the guy wanted to force her and that is called RAPE...

I disagree with you using the word force. She wasn't forced, he only made an attempt to sleep with and she declined. Stop being sentimental abeg.

The producer didn't force her. He made an offer and she declined. Fine. Muyiwa Ademola probably made the same offer and she accepted his banana. If this is true, then she's a bloody hypocrit

what if she slept wit muyiwa on her on terms and not on d terms of gettin a role? Its possibl, did other guy presentd sex first b4 any role, maybe, her friendship wit muyiwa Didn't start off on d "sleep wit me b4 any role" note.

if a man unduly pressurises a woman or vice versa either physically or even psychologically it is not just force but rape..the way we men will be smooching a girl on the bed and all of a sudden she decides its enough and then we say she is just playing hard to get forcing her to have sex it is 1000% rape
a woman or anyone for that mater has a right over their body and a right to say no at any point in time,its a shame the alpha male culture in nigeria has enabled the barbaric situation where we see really horrible behaviour as normal- Anonymous07 January, 2013 08:50
Muyiwa Ademola is married. If she slept with even on her terms, its still wrong. Most girls sleep with married men for what they can get

Not sleeping well
I haven't been sleeping well for the past week or two and I would just like some prayers that I start sleeping through the night again. I'm trying a new sleep medication but so far it hasn't been working so I may have to switch again. Thanks.

It's the same car we had at the last race and we won there so we know it can be fast. We tried changing a few things, made some progress with where we wanted to be at the end of the sessions and it feels just as good as it did in Australia. There was also some running in the wet which you often get around here and the car feels fine in any conditions.
We didn't complete a long run this afternoon like we planned because of the rain so it's hard to say how the tyres will be, but they were ok last time so hopefully it will be the same here.
I don't really mind about the weather; we can't change it and it's the same for everybody. It's hot when you walk around the paddock, but you don't notice it so much in the car with all the air coming into the cockpit. Like I said, the car feels good in all conditions so I'm not worried what happens.
It was a pretty good day and it's always nice to be fastest, but of course that doesn't mean it will be the same for the whole weekend. We ran pretty heavy so I don't know what will happen when everyone is light for qualifying, but I'm happy with where we are and expect we'll be reasonable tomorrow. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Child sexual abuse is the deliberate exposure of minor children to sexual activity. This means a child is forced or talked into sex or sexual activities by another person. Such abuse includes:
Sexual abuse - children
Society was reluctant to deal with child sexual abuse a few decades ago. Today, it is considered a serious issue.
It is difficult to determine how often child sexual abuse occurs, because it is more secret than physical abuse. Children are often scared to tell anyone about the abuse. Many cases of abuse are not reported.
Abusers are usually men. They tend to know the person they are abusing. The abuser violates the trust of the younger person, which makes the sexual abuse even more devastating.
Child sexual abuse occurs in all social and economic classes of people. It has the same type of risk factors as physical child abuse , including:
Abusers sometimes have a history of physical or sexual abuse themselves.
A small group of repeated abusers have the psychiatric disorder, pedophilia. Their preferred sexual contact is with children.
Symptoms of sexual abuse in chlildren are similar to those of depression or severe anxiety and nervousness. They can include:
Children who are abused may:
If you suspect a child has been sexually abused, the child should be examined as soon as possible by a trained health care professional. Most pediatricians, many family medicine doctors, and most emergency room (ER) doctors have been trained to examine cases involving sexual abuse.
Do not delay a doctor's exam for any reason. Many signs of injury related to sexual abuse are temporary. The exam should be done within 72 hours of the event or discovery.
A complete physical exam must always be performed, so that the examiner can look for any signs of physical and sexual abuse. The two forms of abuse may exist together.
Affected areas may include the mouth, throat, penis, anus, and vagina, including the hymen. The hymen is a thin piece of tissue covering the opening of the vagina. It can be affected by abuse.
Your doctor may also order blood tests to check for sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphilis and HIV , and pregnancy in females. These tests can help determine treatment.
Photographs of injuries may help establish what happened. It is extremely important to write down symptoms due to any form of child abuse.
An exam will automatically be scheduled when suspected child sexual abuse is reported to police or child protection agencies. A second exam with an expert abuse examiner should be scheduled after the first exam. A doctor or nurse specialist can be found through child protective services programs anywhere in the United States.
Treatment for the physical signs of sexual abuse is the same as for any types of cuts, bruises, or scrapes. The patient may need medicines to prevent or treat sexually transmitted diseases. Older females may receive medicines to prevent pregnancy.
All children who have been sexually abused or traumatized in any way should receive mental health counseling.
Any suspicion of child sexual abuse must be reported to child protective services and the police. Medical professionals, teachers, and child care professionals are required by law to make a report.
Once a case is reported, child protection agencies and the police must investigate. If the report is considered true, the child must be protected from further abuse. The child may be placed with a non-abusing parent, another relative, or a foster home.
Support groups for abused children, their parents, and caretakers are available and strongly recommended. The following organizations may provide more information:
Child Help USA - www.childhelpusa.org
Prevent Child Abuse America - www.childabuse.org
Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network - www.rainn.org
The biggest issue is the child's mental health. The outcome depends on:
If you suspect child abuse in any form, immediately call your health care provider, Child Protective Services, or police.
Prevention involves teaching children never to keep secrets and the difference between "good" and "bad" touches. Parents need to begin this work at home. Most schools now have programs to teach young school-aged children about sexual abuse and its prevention.
Teenagers also need to be taught how to avoid rape and date rape.
Constant supervision and vigilance by adults is essential to preventing all forms of child abuse.

5 A Refreshing Change of PacePontiFex | 21/11/2008 | See all PontiFex's reviews (3)It's great to see development studios being so innovative, especially one as well known as DICE. Mirror's Edge is a great game and will hopefully show others that being innovative isn't necesarily as big a risk as it could be, especially in the current knock off after knock off state that the gaming industry is getting into.The graphics are incredible and actually seeing vibrant colours being used in a game once again is a refreshing change from the usual grey tone. The 1st person perspective makes sense from a gameplay point of view though there is alot of bobbing, shaking and swaying going on which wound up giving me a headache after only a few hours (one of the first games where this has actually happened).As for the story I didn't find it to be all that interesting and it unfortunately ended up being a little too short too. There are a lot of points during it too where it just becomes so frustrating constantly dying over and over again... it makes you feel as if the dev's purposely did this to lengthen the game. There are also certain points along the story where it forces you into combat, though this mixes up the game it can get a little annoying as Faith (the character you play) can't take a lot of damage. The ending to the game actually made me think "is that it?".After my disappointment at the story I found the Speed Run and Time Trial modes which is the point at which you realise these were what the game was made for. I can see myself spending hours upon hours just perfecting routes on levels and downloading other peoples runs off of Live to find new ways I would've missed. Not to mention trying to beat those same people ;) The game is all about proper timing and keeping a steady momentum going - achieving a quick time on a perfect run can be very very rewarding. The fact that you can string together different moves along with the timing and momentum factor really makes the game a lot more deep then it originally seems which will only benefit the game more in the long run.Mirror's Edge is definitaly one of those games you'll want to keep in your collection if not for it's innovation then it's addictive Time Trial mode which will keep sucking you back in just to shave that tenth of a second off your highest time.
5 Inspired...Mickrr | 07/11/2008 | See all Mickrr's reviews (1)This demo is probably the best demo I've played this year. I've just pre-ordered it so that I can play the time-trial in the demo. The game looks set to be one of the best of the year as well and I doubt it can disappoint by seeing the demo. The gun handling is indeed lacking something but it's great to see a game that isn't all about combat. Definitely got an Assassin's Creed touch to it, but it's simply head and shoulders above AC. I hope the story line can match the truly inspired gameplay.
5 Now That's What I Call Next-GenAshkam | 09/11/2008 | See all Ashkam's reviews (11)My greatest concern was that Mirror's Edge would be a big let down and end up being a semi-controllable platformer, like Assassin's... boy was I wrong. Never have I played a game where I felt so in control of the character's movements. You will find yourself bending your own knees when going into a big jump! Visually this game is stunning. The First Person experience has been taking to the next generation. Judging by the demo (which I can't put down) this game looks like it will be fun but challenging. Yeah, the combat doesn't seem to be the best but this game isn't about fighting your way through, it's about running. The chases are pure adrenaline and the soundtrack and the 5.1 compliment that massively. If you haven't yet, download the demo and I can guarantee come 14/11/08 you will be forking out a worthy £39.99. This is a game like no other.
4 Fantastic and OriginalDaviduk2000 | 18/08/2009 | See all Daviduk2000's reviews (40)Top 100 Reviewer Top 10 Games Reviewer Mirrors, edge is Brilliant and Unique.Its graphics while not great in a high detail way, they are fantastic in its lighting and Strong Colours. It's Presentation and gameplay are just Superb, its Fast paced action which Flows so smoothly its actually satisfying,Too bad the Story is told through Comic book style and not very well portrayed. it's story had potentialThe game is pretty short, and has next to No replay value. you will soon grow sick and tired trying to outdo yourself in the time trials, and grow tired of the game 8-10 hours down the line.+ Totally Original+ Fantastic Flowing Gameplay+Stunning Settings+Good Story - Badly Yold- No Replay Value- Short
5 Best Game Ever!MrMeatHunter | 23/02/2009 | See all MrMeatHunter's reviews (6)I really cant describe just how good this game is, it has everything you could possibly want + something no other game has. For a start i cannot compare it to any other game on the 360, it offers suck a unique game experiance and it really takes skill to become good at free running on the game. If this sounds a bit boring to you, the game also offers frequant combat using melee attack and also guns, its up to you if you fight or run. Although the campain is rather short there are time trails and speedruns to keep you occupied after the main story is over, and if you are competetive person you can put your fastest times on a leaderboard and race against other people 'ghosts',Overall i would say this is the best game i have ever played, 10/10

Swimming Pools & Accessories
+Earn Points
Make your backyard the place to be with a swimming pool
When the weather heats up, there is no better way to cool down with family and friends than with your very own swimming pool. So break out the sunscreen, beach towels and that new swimsuit. Peruse backyard swimming pools and accessories to get ready for the joys of being the social hot spot of the neighborhood this summer.
Above-ground swimming pools are a larger, more permanent backyard fixture, with plenty of room for floating, tanning, and unlimited rounds of Marco-Polo. Inflatable pools are a great option too and plenty big for pool games of all kinds. Inflatable pools are set up at the very first signs of summer and taken down and stored during the off season. From large rectangular pools up to 36-feet long to classic circular pools with deluxe frames, Sears has the perfect pool to fit with your backyard and your budget.
Owning a pool does require some maintenance to keep it clean and safe for you and others to enjoy. Getting the right equipment and accessories can make these tasks easier so you can focus less on tedious upkeep and more on splashing around in the sun. Make sure you have the right pool supplies and chemicals to keep it bacteria-free and a pool filter to keep stray items out of the pump. A good pool cover can make all the difference in keeping your pool clear of falling leaves, sticks and twigs. For those stray leaves that do make their way in, pool cleaning machines and vacuums can save you from unnecessary back-breaking work.
If you're looking for pool accessories that aren't solely for practical purposes, there's an array of inflatable pool toys that can transform your pool into a fun playtime oasis. Start a family game of water basketball, or toss a few dive sticks into the shallow end and teach your kids the proper surface diving technique. When you finishing jumping around on the water trampoline, kick back in a pool raft with a drink holder and catch some rays while enjoying your favorite summertime refreshment. When the sun sets but you want to keep the party going, add stylish floating lights to ensure everyone has a safe, fun time.
