Kaslo Municipal Campground
[ 10/10 ]
This is an excellent campground with an excellent hostess. You can request overflow and camp on the lake shore. Considering this is in the city, it is a completely quiet campground.
Fort Steele, British Columbia
Fort Steele Resort and RV Park
[ 1/10 ]
I made a reservation and arrived but was made to wait (by the manager) for service until all the store/gas customers were served first.(even though I was waiting first). When I returned to pay later, I was sternly chastised by the "asst. manager". He was very nasty to me. P.S. I have been barred. I will NEVER return and I will never recommend this place either. If you are camping they treat you poorly. I rate this less than 1.

Vegetarians don't eat animals - vegans go a step further and don't eat animal products. So it's possible to be vegetarian and eat parmesan. People disagree on the definitions, but these distinctions are fairly well accepted. I'm vegetarian, but personally I don't eat parmesan because I avoid eating animal products like rennet and gelatin, and I also avoid dairy in general. — Jessica_1331 |

Parmesan is not vegetarian or vegan as it contains animal rennet. It is not possible to buy vegetrian Parmesan as to be called Parmesan. You can get 'parmesan style hard cheese' but it is definely not the sames as Parmesan - so veggies beware. — Anonymous |

Linux-GGI Project
In this article, we will explain the intentions and goals of the Linux-GGI Project along with the basic concepts used by the GGI programmers to allow fast, easy to use access to graphical services, hide hardware level issues from applications and introduce extensible support for multiple displays under Linux. The Linux-GGI project wants to set up a General Graphical Interface for Linux that will allow easy use of graphical hardware and input facilities under the Linux OS. Already existing solutions and standards like X or OpenGL do deal with graphic's issues, but these current implementations under Linux have several (sometimes serious) drawbacks:
Console switching is not deadlock-free, because the kernel asks a user-mode application to permit the switch causing a problem in terms of security. Since any user-mode application can lock the console, the kernel has to rely on the application to allow a user-invoked switch. For stand-alone machines, if the console locks in an application without a switch, a system reboot will have to be done.
The Secure Attention Key (SAK), which kills all processes associated to the current virtual console might help with the above problem, but for graphics applications the machine might still remain locked, because the kernel has no way to do a proper reset of the console—after all, it has no idea which video hardware is present.
Any application accessing graphical hardware at a low level has to be trusted as it needs to be run by root to gain access to the graphical hardware. The kernel relies on the application to restore the hardware state when a console switch is initiated. Relying on the application might be okay for an X server that needs superuser rights for other reasons, but most of us would not want to trust a game that is available to us only in binary form.
Input hardware (such as a mouse or a joystick) can be accessed using the current approach, but it can't easily be shared between several virtual consoles and the applications using it.
No clean way is available to use more than one keyboard and monitor combination. You might think that this is not possible on PC hardware anyway; but in fact, with currently existing hardware there are ways to have multi-headed PCs, and the USB peripheral bus to be introduced soon may allow for multiple keyboards, etc. Besides, other architectures do support multiple displays, and if Linux did also, it would be a good reason to use Linux for applications like CAD/CAE technology.
Games cannot use the existing hardware at maximum performance, because they either have to use X, which introduces a big overhead (from a game programmer's point of view), and/or access the hardware directly, which requires separate drivers for every type of hardware they run on.
GGI addresses all these points and several more in a clean and extensible way. (GGI does not wish to be a substitute for these existing standards nor does it want to implement its graphical services completely inside the kernel.) Now, let's have a look at the concepts of GGI—some of which have already been implemented and have shown their usability.
The GGI hardware driver consists of a kernel space module called Kernel Graphical Interface (KGI) and a user space library called libGGI. The KGI part of GGI will consist of a display manager that takes care of accessing multiple video cards and does MMU-supported page flipping on older hardware. This method allows for incredibly fast access to the frame buffer from user space whenever possible. (This technique has already been proven—the GO32 graphics library for DJPGG, the GNU-C-compiler for DOS, uses this method and has astonishingly fast graphical support on older hardware.) If this memory-mapped access method can be used in GGI, there will be no loss in performance as the application reads or writes the pixel buffer directly.
Each type of video card in the system has its own driver, a simple loadable module that registers as many displays as the card can address. (Video cards exist that support two monitors or a monitor and a TV screen.) The driver module gives the system the information needed to access the frame buffer and to access special accelerated features, the setup of a certain video mode and the limits of the hardware (e.g., the graphic card, the monitor, and any other part of the display system). The module can either be obtained from a single source file or be linked using precompiled subdrivers for each graphical hardware subsystem (ramdac, monitor, clock chip, chipset, accelerator engine). This last option is the favourite approach, since it allows support for new cards to be added quite easily, as only the subdrivers for hardware not already supported need to be implemented and tested. (The others are already in use or bug fixes there will improve all drivers using them.) This scheme has been used to derive support for many of the S3 accelerator-based cards, and has proved to be very efficient and easy to use. It also allows for efficient simultaneous development for several graphic cards. The subdrivers to be linked together are now selected at configuration time, but they can also be selected after automatic detection or according to a database (not yet built). Note that the subdrivers do not need to be in source form; as a result, precompiled subdriver object files can be linked together during installation.
As each subdriver knows the hardware exactly, it can prevent the display hardware from being damaged due to a bad configuration and make suggestions about the optimal use of the hardware. For example, the current implementation has drivers for fixed- and multisync monitors that allow optimal timings for any resolution to be calculated on the fly without any further configuration. Of course, completely user- configurable drivers are also possible. In short, in addition to the hardware level code, the subsystem drivers provide as much information about the hardware as possible. This way the kernel will have sufficient methods to initialize the card, to reset consoles and video modes when an application gets terminated, and to make optimal use of the hardware. The KGI manager will allow a single kernel image to support GGI on all hardware, as any hardware-specific code is in the loadable module and only common services (such as memory mapping code) are provided from the kernel. The KGI manager will also provide data structures and support to almost any imaginable kind of input devices.
The user space library, called libGGI, will implement an abstract programming interface to applications. It interfaces to the kernel part using special device files and standard file operations. Applications should use this interface (or APIs provided by applications based on it) to gain maximum performance; however, other APIs can be built accessing the special files directly. Understand that in this case the X server will just be a normal application in terms of graphic access. Since X is considered to be the main customer for graphical services, the API will be designed according to the X protocol definition and will implement a set of low level drawing routines required by X servers. The library will use accelerated functions whenever possible and emulate features not efficiently supported by the hardware found. An important feature of future generation graphical hardware is 3D acceleration which easily fits into the GGI point of view. We plan to provide support for 3D features based on MESA, which is close to OpenGL and ensures compatibility with other platforms than Linux.
Another issue when dealing with graphics is game programming as games need the highest possible performance. They also need special support by the video hardware to produce flicker-free animation or realistic images. The current approaches can't support this need in a reasonable way, since they cannot get help from the kernel (e.g., to use retrace interrupts). GGI can provide this support easily and give maximum hardware support to all applications.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

A utility pole located at the corner of 11th and Main streets was replaced last week after it was involved in two unrelated traffic accidents.
On May 1, Clinton Cottrell, 29, struck the utility pole with his vehicle.
No injuries were reported and the vehicle was driven from the scene. Cottrell was issued a ticket for careless driving; alcohol was not a factor.
On May 2, the utility pole was struck by Paul Story, 68, of Montrose. The Delta Police Department reports that his red pickup came to rest on its side after striking the utility pole and curb. No injuries were reported and the vehicle was towed from the scene. Story was charged with careless driving; alcohol was not a factor.
Officers were reconstructing an accident at the corner of 4th and Main which injured Delta residents Bill and Kathy English. The report on the two-car accident will not be released by the Delta Police Department until the reconstruction has been completed.

Hi All,
I am working on a custom importer plugin. Basic features are working fine, but, I'm facing an issue with Duplicate functionality.
I added a new custom importer clip to project and created a duplicate of that clip (by right clicking the clip in Project window and selecting Duplicate from pop-up menu). Then I added both clip instances to timeline. Now, if I change properties of one clip instance it reflects in both clips. I noticed that both ClipIds are same and they are referring to same media path. I also observed the same behavior in SDK_Custom_importer sample. But, built in 'Color Matte' and 'Title' clips works fine.
As per my understanding, Duplicate command should create a new clip from existing clip and new clip should be independent of original clip after creation.
How to fix this issue? Is there any selector that I should handle to support Duplicate functionality?
Thanks & Regards,
Hi Chandan,
The Color Matte and Title clips are not quite the same as your custom importer example. Those are synthetic clips, without a file reference on disk. If you exported a title to a file on disk, and then reimported it, and duplicated it so that there were two clips in the Project panel that reference the same file on disk, I think you would have the same behavior as what you're seeing with your custom importer. Duplicate doesn't create a new file on disk. The user would need to do that manually, and then import the new file.
Unfortunately there's nothing like that at this time. Good idea though. Is it enough for you to programmatically import the clip, or do you need to open the setup window for the new title? If it's just programmatically importing the clip, I can add you to the list of requestors for feature request ID 140621.
Hi Zac,
Thanks for the info. Eventually it should work as standard 'Save As' option (save a new clip with current settings and open the setup dialog). Adding clip through plugin is the first step and may open new possibilities to programmers. Please add me as a requester for this feature.
Thanks & Regards,

IT depends on WHY the direct vent was used, because it would normally NOT be the :first choice" if there were not an overriding reason for it.
Can I replace a direct vent water heater with a standard vent model. The water heater is located in my crawl space, which is 10 feet tall.
IT depends on WHY the direct vent was used, because it would normally NOT be the :first choice" if there were not an overriding reason for it.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
A standard vent must go mostly up, and all the way to the roof. The direct vent was probably used because it was a lot easier, given the location.
I'm curious as to why you emphasize that a direct vent would normally not be the first choice unless there's an overriding reason. After all the research I've done I'm surprised direct vent isn't used more often. No need for electricity, no noisy power vent, no need for chimney (most people have high efficiency furnaces these days and wood burning fireplaces are becoming increasingly rare). Except for it being a little more expensive I see only benefits.
I've just booked an installation for a Bradford White 50 gallon direct vent to replace our 18-year old Rheem atmospheric vent. Didn't want power vent because we have bedrooms in the basement and I've heard about a lot of noise issues with power vents. Also, our current water heater is the only appliance venting up the chimney, so this switch allows us to get rid of the chimney. Less penetrations through the roof, less chance of a leak. The chimney is not in the best of shape either, so spending thousands of dollars restoring it made no sense when we could just spend a few hundred dollars more on a direct vent water heater instead.
I realize that in our case there are what could be called "overriding reasons", but I would assume any one of these reasons could apply to the majority of people, so I'm still wondering why direct vent isn't more popular.
The non-powered direct vent is limited on how far it can be from an outside wall. The flue pipe is expensive, too. A powered direct vent can often use PVC pipe and go further. Both pull combustion air from outside, which can be a big energy saver in itself. So, some of it is convenience, but a lot of it is initial cost. Most people don't think running costs, they think of initial installed costs, even though there's often a reasonable payback.

"The Flying Dutchman" ("Der fliegende Holl nder") is Wagner's first great opera, a work that challenges the world with its story of a man looking for love in all the wrong places until he finds one woman who is willing to die for him.
It is also long. The opera's original 1843 production ran more than 2 hours and 20 minutes without intermission. Los Angeles Opera is presenting it the same way, posing a challenge to 21st century opera fans who can't sit still that long. That Saturday's opening-night audience gave a standing ovation at the work's end was, no doubt, a tribute to the music and performances, but also was due to the eagerness to be able to get up and move about at long last.
Music Director James Conlon decided to conduct it in the original no-intermission version. He made it powerful and deliciously compelling, from the iconic overture to the spinning scene, from the sailors' engaging recovery from a frightening storm to the appearance of the Dutchman himself, Icelandic baritone Tomas Tomasson, making his L.A. Opera debut. His entrance is dramatic and effective but also just a bit confusing. Just what, if anything, does scenic designer Raimund Bauer mean when he has the Dutchman enter through a portal that is the international symbol for atomic waste?
The entire production, borrowed from Lyric Opera of Chicago, is strangely beautiful if not entirely clear in meaning or design. The metal ribs of a ship dominate the whole stage and everything takes place within those ribs. Yes, the women look spectacular in shining silver hoop skirts, but they are supposed to be spinning wool, not spinning in circles themselves (as they do). And the shadow of the Dutchman that is illuminated on the scrim in the final scenes doesn't look much like him: He wears a low-crowned, big-brimmed hat on stage, but in the image he is wearing a small-brimmed, high-crowned headpiece. Possibly costume changes were made between Chicago and Los Angeles.
The best thing about Saturday's performance was the reason for a 15-minute delay at the opera's beginning. Elisabete Matos was to make her company debut as Senta but was indisposed and replaced at the last minute by Julie Makerov, an L.A. native and USC graduate. It would be nice to say she went out a new face and came back a star, but she already had made her debut as Senta in Canada in 2010 with amazing success. She was a wonderful presence, singing with unequaled passion and clarity, making Senta the appealing and forceful character she must be.
Tomasson almost equaled her in voice, though occasionally he sounded a bit less than perfect. But he was every inch the mysterious man whose riches attract her father, Daland, and whose dark fate attracts Senta.
Erik (Corey Bix) is the odd man out in this love triangle: He thinks he is engaged to Senta but finds out otherwise, and although he tries to convince Senta to abandon the Dutchman, she is just the kind of woman, thinking for herself, that he cannot understand. Her father, Daland (James Creswell), is played with an eye for comic relief: His hair alone, piled high on his head, and his demeanor, walking stiffly both onboard his ship and in his village, suggest a man who does not quite understand the primal struggle he is part of.
Matthew Plenk is more than effective as the steersman, and Ronnita Nicole Miller equally so as Mary, who tries unsuccessfully to dissuade Senta from her resolve. The choruses in this production were group characters in themselves, bringing life to Wagner's very loud, very large score. (Conlon brought the orchestra brass choir onstage for the curtain call as a tribute to their strength and hard work.)
Director Daniel Dooner managed the big scenes with energy, and let the intimate scenes find their way through Wagner's primal music. It was well worth the leg cramps.

Treatment for Norovirus Infections
Patient Comments
In the majority of norovirus infections, medical treatment is not required because most infections are self-limiting and resolve with no lingering problems. Oral intake of fluids is recommended for all people with norovirus infection to avoid dehydration. People with severe nausea and vomiting are often given medicines (for example, promethazine [Phenergan], prochlorperazine [Compazine], or ondansetron [Zofran]) to reduce or stop vomiting. Individuals who become dehydrated may require intravenous fluids with electrolytes to avoid complications of dehydration. A few severely dehydrated patients may require hospitalization.

Campus Housing: Some dorms are not that great like Anderson, Letts, and Mcdowell. Cassell and Nebraska though are really nice, but they are for upperclassmen. That being said they are all livable and people generally complain about them too much.
Campus Housing: Living in campus housing is not bad at all. However, the lottery system and how clear housing is about the process is what causes the major problems. All of the other things are manageable and tolerable. The housing department just makes the process more complicated than what it actually has to be.
Campus Housing: The newer dorm buildings are the places to get.
Campus Housing: Sound travels much too easily between rooms
Campus Housing: Housing on campus is decent, no one loves the dorms because they're dorms, but they aren't terrible. They're pretty spacious, actually. AU offers other forms of on campus housing, including suite style (Centennial and Cassell) as well as apartment style (Nebraska) dorms, which make on campus housing less of a pain. Everyone is currently raving about Cassell, but its only different from Centennial because its newer and provides a small living room space.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Jesse MacDonald
AU dorms cater to students of varied dispositions. The North Side dorms of Hughes, McDowell, and Leonard are considered quieter, and residents there say they have tight-knit communities because they are smaller. The South Side dorms of Letts, Anderson, and Centennial are home to more frat brothers and sorority sisters, and are therefore a little rowdier.
Leonard is home to the school's many international students, and there are specialized floors elsewhere, including all-women's floors and community service floors. Honors floors and Learning Community floors, where students live with similarly interested roommates, are becoming increasingly popular. Most students are satisfied with housing options, as long as they live somewhere appropriate to their personalities. Many freshmen live on campus and say it makes meeting people easier, but by junior year, students start moving off campus.

They�re tired and cranky. They have a hard time concentrating in class. They can�t join the football team or the band, or take the most difficult classes.
Students, parents and teachers told the Gazette-Mail that long bus rides take a toll on children�s health, academics and social lives.
Researchers agree.
Riding a bus may be hazardous to your child�s health, according to three studies released in the past year:
A Yale University study found that diesel bus fumes may be to blame for the dramatic rise in childhood asthma in the United States. Students who ride buses breathe five to 15 times more particulate soot than children playing outside.
A National Resource Defense Council-Coalition for Clean Air report concluded that children who ride buses are exposed to diesel exhaust at levels dozens of times higher than levels considered to be a significant cancer risk under Environmental Protection Agency and federal guidelines.
The Union of Concerned Scientists found that schoolchildren in every state were needlessly exposed to toxic air pollutants. Students with the longest rides over many years, and children who sat on buses while they idled, were most at risk.
Every day, thousands of West Virginia students with long rides must wait on idling buses for five to 20 minutes at transfer points.
The buses belch diesel exhaust. The kids breathe it in.
�The issue with children is they are particularly vulnerable,� said Patricia Monahan, senior transportation analyst with the Union for Concerned Scientists. �They have young lungs that are still developing. And they breathe at higher rates than adults. For children on more than an hour, it�s a significant source of pollution for them.�
Children with long bus rides also can suffer from social, family and academic problems, studies found.

I am at a place right now where I am standing still in life.
Everywhere around me, people are rushing for things—new places and careers, new relationships, new life, even—and I am watching them.
I want to go forward, to take a step, join them, but instead I stare at my feet, unmoving and, if I'm honest, afraid.
Most days, I want a blueprint: a very, very specific outline of steps to take, with guarantees and/or backup plans, if possible. So I talk to people who've been in similar situations, and they tell me what they did, whether they got their first apartment at 17 or had to work their way through college or stayed at their first job for five years.
But no matter how similar life stories are, they aren't the same. Following your choices won't guarantee that I follow your life. Your future can't be mine.
And I don't really want it to be. Not when I'm honest. In fact, I don't really want advice, either. I think I just want someone to listen and nod and say, you know, what's supposed to happen will happen. Because I believe that.
Meanwhile, I take easy change where I can find it, and, at least for me, that means the kind that happens in the kitchen, routinely, every day.
Like, I take a baby gold potato in my hand, set in on a wooden spoon and make quick slices, then smothering it with olive oil and butter, tossing salt and pepper and sage on top. A full bag of these goes onto a cookie sheet, slid into a hot oven that warms my face and hands when I open and close its door. In an hour: what was cold, raw flesh has become hot, soft and tender, fragrant and flavorful. The skins have wrinkled and darkened, the juices have sunk in deep.
Hasselback potatoes are really something special. Beautiful and intelligent. Requiring a bit of effort for something very impressive. I think they look like little snails, but that doesn't sound appetizing, so let's say they look like little fans—waves that are crusty and golden, juicy and crispy.
And the bit of effort that goes into creating them—the slicing and stuffing, which is mindless work—yields great returns when you look at these, but even more when you taste them.
That's the kind of change I don't have to think twice about choosing, which is, of course, welcome indeed.
Hasselback Potatoes
Inspired by Falling Cloudberries
1.5 pounds of baby gold potatoes
Olive oil
3 Tablespoons butter
Chopped sage
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and drizzle olive oil on top to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
Take potatoes, one by one, and set on a wooden spoon, slicing top to bottom along the length of the body at even intervals. To make the slits larger, you can slice tiny bits of the potato out by slicing at alternating diagonals. (I did this with some and not with others – both worked fine.)
Set the sliced potatoes on the oiled baking sheet, being careful not to break them apart. Drizzle with olive oil. Insert bits of butter between the openings in each potato. Sprinkle sage all over. Sprinkle salt and pepper all over.
Slide baking sheet in oven and bake for 30 to 45 minutes, tossing the potatoes once after 20 minutes in the heat.

Another game to watch out for in 2008 for the PS3 is Killzone 2. Many people said it stole the show at E3 this year.
Another game to watch out for in 2008 for the PS3 is Killzone 2. Many people said it stole the show at E3 this year.
Rumours say Killzone 2 is a Halo killer... We'll see.
I hope it is.
And Nasti, about Ninja Gaiden, GET IT!
Its SO awesome.
And unlike Heavenly Sword, it actually gives you the option of partially installing the game, fully installing the game on your HD, or not installing at all (for the sake of faster load times, etc.)
The Original Pancake Hater
Killzone 2 does look pretty awesome
However, I doubt it turns into a Halo killer. The game by itself may be better but if it's to kill Halo it will have to rely on PS3's online service and community. It's the proverbial 8 ball where Sony is concerned. They milked the PS2 way too long and never really got into the online side of things until Xbox live because a resounding success.
Sony makes great products but it pisses me off that they spend so much time playing catchup to other companies who show more innovation or when they try to force feed you their proprietary technology (mini disc, memory stick, etc).
meh, I really don't care about who makes the console. I'm just sayin that Sony didn't invest enough time and attention to their online product. The PS2 was online capable since it's indroduction in October 2000 so how can anyone come in a year or two later and dominate the online gaming community is egg on Sony's face.
I love Sony products man. I've been a loyal customer for YEARS. I would not consider myself a fanboy but the fact that my desktop, laptop, camcorder, 2 digital cameras and televisions have all been Sony probably tells another story.
I will say that my newest TV is a Samsung. The picture was simply better than the comparable Sony that cost $600 more.

I am a bit picky when it comes to lotion and I am really enjoying my sample. This have a very light lemon scent and it is not too thick or too greasy! It lasted until I washed my hands then I reapplied.
The beekind products took the wrong turn when the sold their products to hotels and lodges. Unfortunately, the smell of their products only make me think of that now
This lotion was fairly watery and left my hands feeling powdery. It didn't hydrate them very well. On the bright side - the scent was wonderful!
I love the mission behind BeeKind, and the lotion wasn't bad or anything, it just wasn't great. Pros: light, smells great (smells very strong when you first apply, but once it sets into your skin it is not overpowering), leaves skin soft without a residue or oily feeling on skin. Cons: very thin, almost runny consistency, no lasting/long term hydration.
Smells fresh and lemony, and sample is perfect size for purse.
I am a product lover, but I am super sensitive to scents. I received this lotion in one of my birchboxes. I was reluctant to try it; however, it was amazing. The lemon verbena scent is strong but not overpowering. It's a great pick me up scent. I currently have a full size lotion in my cart, ready for purchase.
This lotion is a great choice for when you need a light moisturizer for your body. This has a scent that is to die for. I also love the fact that it is helping to support the very community that helped create part of the ingredient list. The world needs to figure out the honeybee crisis.
Like most other commenters, I found that the lotion has a vibrant lemony scent that is fresh but not overwhelming. While I liked that it wasn't greasy, I found that it didn't leave my skin feeling particularly hydrated. Like the lotion itself, the scent also didn't have much of a staying power.
I wasn't impressed by this product. Too light and watery consistency. Not enough moisturizing for me. Wouldn't recommend for dry skin.
I absolutely love this lotion! I love how my hands feel right after putting this on and for hours later. So soft and healing for chapped hands. Also, I have received tons of compliments on the wonderful scent. I think of a summer's day each time I put on the lotion.

As new and existing oral anticoagulants vie for top honors in treating America's #1 heart rhythm disorder, a magnetic ablation procedure to help cure the problem (or at least zap it into remission) is attracting the attention of cardiologists and their patients diagnosed with a rhythm disorder called atrial fibrillation (AF).
According to the Mayo Clinic, more than five million Americans live with atrial fibrillation, a condition that occurs when errant electric signals cause the upper part of the heart (the atria) to beat much faster than the rest of it. While some patients experience no symptoms, others describe AF as skipped heartbeats—or even like a "fish flopping" in the chest. Still others feel over-tired, dizzy, or chest discomfort. (See AF Symptoms, below.)
The first line of treatment, drugs help restore a normal beat and reduce the risk of clots that can potentially form as blood swirls chaotically throughout the heart. When pills don't work, cardiac ablation to short circuit irregular heartbeats offers a long-term solution.
"In general, most AF patients are eligible for cardiac ablation," says leading heart rhythm expert and Post contributor Douglas Zipes, M.D. "Heart rhythm experts generally prefer patients to have tried and failed at least one antiarrhythmic drug, but that is not mandatory. If ablation appeals to a patient, patients should discuss their risk and potential benefit with the doctor."
During conventional ablation therapy, surgeons use x-ray images to thread a flexible yet firm tube through the blood vessels into the upper heart chambers. Once there, they send energy via the catheter to zap errant signals at the source and in the process potentially stop atrial fibrillation. However, there are limitations to the revolutionary procedure.
"Traditional ablations utilize a catheter with a certain degree of stiffness," explains cardiologist Rodney Horton who is affiliated with Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia and UT Southwestern Medical School. "Obviously the stiffness provides a bit more control as the catheter is advanced around the heart. However, a stiffer catheter is more likely than a softer one to cause mechanical injury to the blood vessels and heart. As a result, there are limits to where a firm catheter can be guided easily and safely."
The Stereotaxis Remote Navigation System is designed to overcome these problems. Stereotactic procedures use 3-D, GPS-like technology to locate small targets inside the body—in this case, specific areas of the heart known to generate abnormal heartbeats.
The advanced system presently in use at 140-plus medical centers and FDA approved to treat patients with cardiac arrhythmias comprises of: 1) a catheter equipped with a magnetically sensitive tip; and 2) two magnets that pivot on either side of the patient table. Using sophisticated computer-guided technology, physicians direct the catheter to the targeted area.
"With Stereotaxis, we no longer depend on stiffness to get the catheter tip to a certain location," says Dr. Horton, "Instead, physicians utilize the magnetic field across the patient's chest to pull a flimsy catheter into the desired, precise location with a lower risk of complications—and less x-ray exposure."
A Grateful Patient
In 2008, Fr. Bill Diltzer became one of the first heart patients in Wisconsin to benefit from advances in cardiac ablation technology for heart rhythm disorders. Despite a family history of heart disease ("Everyone on my mother's side dies of a heart attack or stroke between age 55 and 65," says the pastor, now in his 60s,) Fr. Bill was initially unconvinced when a routine EKG discovered atrial fibrillation (AF). "I said, 'that tracing can't be mine! It's all over the place,' but the specialist assured me that it was," he recalls. "Looking back, my health was deteriorating for quite some time. But I had no specific symptoms of AF, and any earlier episodes were overlooked."
After an initial course of medicines, Fr. Bill's heart rhythm expert recommended cardiac ablation using the Stereotaxis Magnetic Navigation System. He agreed. And it's a decision for which he is very grateful.
"I was told that either the procedure will work, or my life will be very short," he says. "My doctor expected tremendous results, but my experience still astounds her. My recovery was longer than anticipated. But within one year I was walking close to 2 miles a day. Now I walk 3 miles a day and don't think anything of it."
No one can say whether Fr. Bill's arrhythmia is gone for good. Outcomes of ablation therapy improve symptoms in 83 to 87 percent of AF patients but remain "tantalizingly unpredictable" in those with persistent or longstanding symptoms, according to a 2011 British single-center study that followed 100 patients for three years after an initial ablation.
"My ablation has held perfectly for 3 ½ years now," the pastor reports enthusiastically. "They say we may need to do something else later. But if they can control my AF for the next 40 years, I'm fine with that!"
AF Symptoms
Symptoms of atrial fibrillation (AF) can vary from person to person. Many feel no symptoms and are completely unaware they have AF, while others can tell as soon as it happens. Symptoms include:
- Feeling over-tired or a lack of energy (most common)
- Pulse that is faster than normal or changing between fast and slow
- Shortness of breath
- Heart palpitations (racing, pounding or fluttering)
- Trouble accomplishing everyday exercises or activities
- Pain, pressure, tightness, discomfort in your chest
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting
- Increased urination

I have a large polygon layer in which most of the polygons have a unique name in a text field. Of the hundreds that aren't unique, there will be 2-4 polygons with the same name but different geometries. I need to keep one of those polygons in each set of duplicates, the one with the largest area, and delete the rest. Since the geometries are different I'm guessing I can't use ArcGIS' built-in duplicate finder and will need an SQL statement to do what I need but I'm far from proficient with SQL.

New Release Dates for 'Red Dawn' Remake, Roland Emmerich's 'Singularity', Kathryn Bigelow's Bin Laden Movie | /Film
The fact that the Red Dawn remake has a release date is amazing. Talk about an unecessary remake that got caught in the teeth of the studios. This will come out...be 'meh' and vanish. Much ado about nothing. Don't know if you have seen Milius' original lately...it's 'jingo-tastic' but it makes a point. If this one has even a 1/4 of the gravitas I will be amazed.
I actually have the original DVR'ed right now. Haven't seen it in ages and am trying to convince BoobyTrap to watch it with me...
Spike Lee's Version of 'Oldboy' Has New Elements Meant to 'Throw Off' Audiences Familiar With Original | /Film
I hate to say it, but this isn't sounding half as bad as the previous Spielberg/Will Smith proposal.Quote:
In an interview with Collider, producer Roy Lee says that the new film is very similar in some ways to the Park Chan-Wook version, but that,
Mark Protosevich has come up with new elements to it that will throw off the audience who have seen the original movie because there are new characters and new situations that present themselves in a way that changes the story but eventually go in the same direction.
I'm concerned about adding characters and elements specifically to mess with the audience that is aware of the existing movie. The film that many of us know and love works specifically because it is an organic thing in which there are curveballs thrown at the audience, but ones which make sense in the context of the film's story. I'm apprehensive about the idea of creating new stuff that exists only to toy with the audience, but we'll see how that works out.
Lee also says that there is a "sort of different interpretation of that hallway scene" that they hope will turn out to be Spike Lee's signature moment in the movie, much as the original hallway fight was a signature aspect of the existing film.
And those worried about whether or not the ending will be watered down in comparison to the Park Chan-wook film shouldn't worry, as Lee insists,
The ending will be something that the audiences will all be…especially the fans of the original will be very happy with. In fact, some may consider it to be a bit darker.

These were given to me prior to my pregnancy and I primarily used them just around the house. They supported and relaxed my feet, ankles and back after a long work day.

Spirituality/religiosity promotes acceptance-based responding and 12-step involvement.
BACKGROUND: Previous investigations have observed that spirituality/religiosity (S/R) is associated with enhanced 12-step involvement.
However, relatively few studies have attempted to examine the mechanisms for this effect.
For the present investigation, we examined whether acceptance-based responding (ABR) – awareness or acknowledgement of internal experiences that allows one to consider and perform potentially adaptive responses – accounted for the effect of S/R on 12-step self-help group involvement 2 years after a treatment episode.
METHODS: Data were collected as part of a multi-site treatment outcome study with 3698 substance-dependent male veterans recruited at baseline.
Assessments were conducted at baseline, discharge, 1-year follow-up, and 2-year follow-up. We utilized structural equation modeling to examine the relationships among latent variables of S/R, ABR, and 12-step involvement over time.
- In the final model, S/R was not directly related to 12-step involvement at 2-year follow-up.
- However, S/R predicted enhanced ABR at 1-year follow-up after accounting for discharge levels of ABR.
- In turn, ABR at 1-year follow-up predicted increased 12-step involvement at 2-year follow-up after accounting for discharge levels of 12-step involvement.
CONCLUSIONS: S/R promotes the use of post-treatment self-regulation skills that, in turn, directly contribute to ongoing 12-step self-help group involvement.

ARLINGTON, Va. -- The Washington Capitals have re-signed defenceman Jack Hillen to a two-year, $1.4 million contract extension, one of several moves made by the team Tuesday.
Hillen will earn $700,000 in both the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons. He has been a regular in the lineup since missing 25 games this year with an upper body injury.
The Capitals also assigned defencemen Tomas Kundratek and Dmitry Orlov to Hershey of the AHL and activated defenceman John Erskine from injured reserve. Erskine had been out since March 9 with an upper body injury.
The Capitals signed free agent defenceman Nate Schmidt to a two-year, entry-level contract beginning this season. Schmidt comes from the University of Minnesota.
The Capitals made two trades involving minor leaguers. They acquired left wing Dane Byers from Edmonton for defenceman Garrett Stafford and forward Joel Rechlicz from Phoenix for forward Matt Clackson.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

Minute Maid Park, Houston, Texas
HOUSTON -- Ubaldo Jimenez had his share of success against the Houston Astros when he played for Colorado.
Jimenez returned to Houston on Friday night in a different uniform, but the result was the same.Shin-Soo Choo hit a leadoff triple and Michael Brantley drove in a run late to back up a strong start by Jimenez and the Cleveland Indians got a 2-0 win over the Astros.Jimenez (7-5) allowed four hits with eight strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings to improve to 4-0 with a 1.88 ERA in six career starts against Houston."It's really a nice place to pitch," he said. "It's warm, everything breaks. So it's fun to pitch here."The victory is Cleveland's fourth straight, which ties a season high and extends its lead in the American League Central to 1½ games. Three of those four wins have come by one or two runs, a stat Indians manager Manny Acta likes."When you win those ballgames, it's a good sign," he said. "It means that you can't go back into the game and look at mistakes that you made that cost you the game."Choo's triple was one of only two hits the Indians managed in seven innings against Houston starter Lucas Harrell (6-6) as these teams met for the first time since 2001.Acta was impressed with Harrell, but he also liked what he saw from his starter."Harrell was just very tough, he pitched very well, but Ubaldo was also very good," Acta said. "(Jimenez) had good off-speed stuff, especially the split-finger fastball. He had better command of his fastball later in the game and just did a very nice job."Choo helped make it 1-0 when he scored on a sacrifice fly by Asdrubal Cabrera after his triple.Brantley added an insurance run for the Indians with his RBI single with one out in the ninth inning.Chris Perez struck out the side in the ninth to complete Cleveland's sixth shutout this season and give him his major league-leading 23rd save.Harrell took the loss despite allowing two hits and striking out a career-high nine in seven innings."The location of his fastball was pretty impressive," Houston manager Brad Mills said of Harrell. "That was the biggest thing. He stayed aggressive with his fastball. He was making really good pitches on it."Including Cabrera's out, Harrell retired 19 of the next 20 batters he faced. Cleveland's only base runner in that stretch came on a walk by Carlos Santana with two outs in the fourth.Harrell didn't run into trouble until Santana and Brantley drew consecutive walks with one out in the seventh inning, before a single by Johnny Damon loaded the bases.Harrell got out of the inning when Casey Kotchman flew out to right field and Brian Bogusevic's throw to catcher Chris Snyder was in time to throw out Santana at home.The Indians finished with four hits to end a streak of four straight games with at least 10 hits.The Astros had several opportunities to score but were unable to connect at key times for the second straight game, going 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position. They went 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position in a 2-1 loss to the Royals on Wednesday.Jordan Schafer walked with one out in the first inning and stole second before Jed Lowrie also walked. Jimenez escaped that jam when Carlos Lee grounded into a double play.Chris Johnson singled in the fifth but was out at second when Snyder grounded into a force out. An error by Cabrera let Snyder take second before Harrell singled. Jimenez came out unscathed again when he retired Jose Altuve before striking out Schafer to end the inning.Bogusevic doubled to left field to start Houston's seventh. Johnson and Snyder both grounded out before a walk by pinch hitter Justin Maxwell chased Jimenez.Reliever Joe Smith took over and struck out Altuve to leave the Astros empty-handed yet again.Wesley Wright pitched a perfect eighth for Houston. David Carpenter allowed a single to Cabrera in the ninth before Fernando Abad took over. He walked Jason Kipnis before striking out Santana.Brantley then singled to score Cabrera. Bogusevic scooped up the hit by Brantley and threw to the plate, but the high throw bounced off Snyder's glove and rolled away, sending Kipnis for home. But Snyder got the ball to Lee, who was covering home, to tag him out.Game notes
Houston starter Bud Norris, on the DL with a sprained knee, is scheduled to make a rehabilitation start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday. ... Houston OF Maxwell had an MRI on Thursday that revealed what manager Mills called a "loose body" in his left ankle. He wasn't in the starting lineup, but pinch-hit in the seventh inning.

The defense presenting its case today in the trial of three police officers accused in an alleged assault on a Brooklyn subway platform.
Lawyers for the officer accused of sodomizing Michael Mineo are trying to prove that his injuries stemmed from a pre-existing medical condition. They are citing surveillance video of Mineo, pictured above, from after the incident, in which he appears to be walking normally.
The prosecution wrapped up its case yesterday after hearing from a surgeon that testified that Mineo had an infection and a pelvic abscess after the incident that could have been caused by a police baton.
A medical examiner who conducted DNA tests on the baton allegedly used in the attack testified that DNA on Officer Richard Kern's baton could belong to Michael Mineo.
Kern is charged with sexual assault and abuse in the alleged attack inside a Prospect Park subway station in October 2008.
Officers Alex Cruz and Andrew Morales are charged with covering it up.

Hands-On Training Course for MOVES2010b
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) have developed a new training course for MOVES2010b. This is a detailed, two-day, hands-on course intended for state and local agency staff who will use MOVES2010b for developing emissions inventories for SIP and conformity analyses. The course was designed to be self-taught in periods where no classes are scheduled, or travel budget constraints prevent attending an EPA or DOT sponsored course. Users can work through the modules and hands-on exercises at their convenience.
November 2013 course update: The course was updated in November 2013 to correct several minor errors. Additionally, the Emission Rates module was improved based on user feedback.
Participants in a scheduled course will need to bring a laptop computer with the following items:
- The most recent version of MOVES2010 (currently MOVES2010b) already installed and tested. Instructors will not be able to troubleshoot any installation problems during the course, so it is very important that any installation issues be resolved before course participants arrive at the course. MOVES2010b, including instructions for downloading and installation, can be found at www.epa.gov/otaq/models/moves/index.htm.
- All presentations and files needed for the course exercises, which are contained in this ZIP file: MOVES2010b Training Materials (ZIP) (15.7MB). The course materials should be copied to your computer and unzipped before arriving at the course. We recommend putting the unzipped folder on your desktop so that it is easily accessible during the course. Do not change the folder structure of the training materials. During the course, we will be switching back and forth between the presentations, the MOVES interface, and the other files included. The presentations include slides that describe what to do during the hands-on exercises. We strongly recommend that course participants bring paper copies of the presentations included in the training folder.
Questions about installing MOVES or about course materials should be addressed to email@example.com.
Upcoming MOVES Training Courses
No courses are currently scheduled.
Project Level Training for Quantitative PM Hotspot Analysis
EPA and DOT have developed a multi-day training course in accordance with EPA's "Transportation Conformity Guidance for Quantitative Hot-spot Analyses in PM2.5 and PM10 Nonattainment and Maintenance Areas". This technical, hands-on course is geared toward state and local agency staff and focuses on using emission models (including EPA's MOVES model) and air quality models (AERMOD and CAL3QHCR) for quantitative PM hot-spot analyses. More detailed information on this course including training dates and locations, as well as other webinars and presentations on this guidance, has been posted on EPA's Transportation Conformity Training and Presentations web page: www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/transconf/training.htm

A continuously expanding service/dealer network is a vital part of Volvo Penta Industrial's products.
With its world-leading position as supplier of engines and power systems for industrial applications, Volvo Penta Industrial has an even stronger position in sight. And it's all about focus.
Björn Ingemanson, 53, has been appointed new President of Volvo Penta. Björn Ingemanson is currently President of Volvo Trucks' International Division and will assume his new position on April 1, 2012, when he will succeed the current President Göran Gummeson, who will retire next year.
This winter Volvo Penta will introduce a powerful bi-fuel 16-litre Tier 4 Interim engine targeted for applications in the expanding United States oil and gas exploration markets and in other prime power and mobile applications.
The Volvo Ocean Race is an extreme sailing race. The demands put on boats and equipment are enormous. So the maintenance after every leg and the preparation before each start have to be meticulous. Now, Volvo Penta opens up the pit lane with the blog "Engines and Sails".
There is a new addition in Volvo Penta's range of electronic controls: side-mounted control for single inboard installations. The control is symmetrical in design, so that it can be installed on starboard or port side. Operation is smooth and precise with comfortable grip.
Volvo Penta IPS, by far the most successful pod system for planing hulls, will now also be available for trawler yachts and other semi-planing boats. Volvo Penta has further developed six diesel models to handle boats with top speeds between 20 and 30 knots.
Volvo Penta invented the high-performance diesel sterndrive in 1977 and has been the undisputed market leader in this constantly expanding segment ever since. The latest addition confirms this position: a 400 hp version of the D6 engine, matched with a refined DPH Duoprop drive – the world's most powerful diesel sterndrive.
This summer Volvo Penta takes one of its test boats around five countries in the Baltic to show the benefits of the ingenious IPS high-performance pod system with forward facing propellers. Follow the trip on the web via the Baltic trip blog.
