I'd go with the two JC trinkets. In fact, you are making me think seriously about taking up JC.
I'm having issues deciding between trinkets.
Armory is here
I'm currently using Figurine - Monarch Crab with a +24 Stam, and +41 Stam gem, Along with Figurine - Ruby Hare with 2x +41 stam gems.
I'm overloaded on badges at the moment, and have been wondering whether or not Valor Medal of the First War is worth buying or not.
Currently sitting at 33k HP and 37.25% dodge self buffed.
So, my question is, will the 2.13% dodge from Valor Medal be worth trading for roughly 2300 HP?
Thanks in advance
I'd go with the two JC trinkets. In fact, you are making me think seriously about taking up JC.
I'd take the trinket and use it for fights where you might want the avoidance; Gluth, MT on Patchwerk, off tank on Kel'Thuzad, etc. Nothing wrong with a little bit of variety.
I just want to point out that the 41 stam dragon's eyes are a big part of the reason why you are rating those trinkets so well, and they can be put in any piece of gear. So you are not really losing the 82 stam in the hare from those gems, just the 71 from the hare itself and the bonus, assuming you can find places in your gear for 41 stam gems :P
However, you still have to assume you have -some- gem in those trinket slots, because NO other trinket has gem slots in it.
So if you aren't using a 41 stam gem, what would you be using? I believe he mentioned a 24 stam as well, so if you use 2 of those it is still a 119 stamina trinket with a clicky.
Oh totally, I just wanted to point out that you wouldn't be losing all that health all at once.
I like the crab too, i have both that and the hare, i just wish i didnt have to have both. I'm yerning for a great trinket thats not level 75
You are correct Frim.
Initially I did it because I knew it would be awhile before I replaced the trinkets, and I still had several pieces of gear to replace at that point.
But, since using them, I havent found a huge need to place them anywhere else. Gear is working fine, and I can't find too much else that is better at the moment.
But yes, I agree with you.

Comments about Salvatore Ferragamo SF2686 765 Green Tortoiseshell:
This was my first time ordering frames online, and I was not disappointed. These are very lightweight frames, and I just love the style; the green color gives some sass to a standard tortoiseshell, and the shape is bold and just a little bit retro. Have had the glasses for about two weeks, and the quality seems to be adequate. Would recommend both these frames and coastal.com!

Comments about Salvatore Ferragamo SF2686 765 Green Tortoiseshell:
Stylish, lightweight and affordable. The only thing that would have made it the perfect pair of glasses would have been adjustable silicone nose pads because my nose gets oily by the end of the day. Could that be made an option in the future for plastic frames? Coastal.com? But other than that they're a great pair.

Since my column on vapor barriers first appeared, I've gotten more reader questions on this topic than on any other that I can remember. I've had the opportunity to talk with several experts in the field as well, and here are some questions and answers that might help clear up a few more issues about this important subject:
Q: I just purchased a house a few months ago and installed R-19 batt insulation in the attic (with paper facing up). I realized afterwards this was not ideal, but to save cost I left it as is. The house is shaded by lots of trees and is still very cold so I'd like to add a second layer of insulation to the attic, perhaps another unfaced R-19. I read in your comments that the insulation paper has to face down when installing batt insulation.
What should I do with the existing insulation? To allow the air to flow, can I just make incisions on the paper on the first batt, or can I remove the paper from the first batt? Or do I have to reverse the first batt such that the paper is facing the inside of the house?
Can I use unfaced R-19 as a second layer of insulation, or are there better choices? I am trying to save cost. --Diana N.
A: The vapor barrier on the insulation is designed to face toward the heated space, so yes, it should have been installed facing down toward the house. However, most experts agree that between the drywall and the paint on the ceiling, you've have a pretty good vapor barrier already, and whatever moisture makes it into the attic has sufficient avenues of air movement to escape to the outside through the attic vents (assuming your attic is properly vented). So that being said, you shouldn't have any problems installing a second layer of unfaced R-19 over the existing layer. Install it perpendicular to the first layer for best coverage over the joists.
As far as better options are concerned, blown-in insulation will give you more uniform coverage over all the joists. To save money, you can rent the equipment from most home centers to do it yourself.
With either option, check with your local building department to be sure there aren't any code restrictions against insulating over the existing vapor barrier.
Q: I am remodeling a bedroom and I'm not going to insulate my interior walls until I remodel the adjacent rooms (only insulating for sound deadener) so I don't tear up new insulation on the next remodel. Do I need to put a plastic vapor barrier in the current bedroom before I put drywall up? --Bruce S.
A: The purpose of the vapor barrier is to deal with moisture that might get into your exterior walls and condense there in the cold weather, turning to liquid water and creating mold or structural damage. There's no need to create a vapor barrier in walls between conditioned spaces, since the heat in those spaces keeps the moisture from condensing.
Q: I recently had a new "pole building" garage built. It has a metal roof and siding, and a loft/storage area above the garage. The whole building is wrapped with 2-inch insulation blanket, including between the roof and the two-by-eight rafters. I want to fill the area in the ceiling between the rafters with insulation and then sheet rock. My question is about whether a vapor barrier or faced insulation batts should be used or not. I would be putting new insulation up against the existing blanket, which has the smooth plastic side facing the inside. I want to eventually do the same thing on the walls. --Darrell N.
A: Here's a bit of controversy for you. I'm of the opinion that when you install a second layer of insulation, you can create a situation where moisture can pass through the first layer and potentially be trapped against the vapor barrier on the second layer (the smooth plastic facing), where it could condense into a liquid and cause damage. How much of a risk that actually is depends in large part on the humidity and temperature conditions in your area, as well as how much moisture is being created by whatever you'll be using the pole barn for.
However, not all the experts agree with me on this. As with the previous question, others feel that there is ample opportunity for the moisture to escape, and that it won't be trapped.
I'm not comfortable telling you to proceed with additional insulation, especially over a continuous vapor barrier such as the one you describe. Since you just had the building constructed, you need to err on the side of caution and talk with both your local building department and the original contractor before you make any final decisions.
Q: I am a Realtor and I recently got the results of a house inspection where the inspector noted that the vapor barrier did not go all the way to the foundation. The property owner contacted the company that installed the vapor barrier and was advised that they always leave a couple of feet of the soil exposed, because they want the crawl space to breathe. They say if they covered the entire crawl space all the moisture would be trapped under the vapor barrier. Well, yes, I thought that was the purpose of the vapor barrier. Shouldn't it extend all the way to the foundation? --Dave R.
A: You're correct in assuming that the vapor barrier is there to stop moisture from the soil from coming up into the crawl space. If it's only partly covering the soil, it's only partly doing its job. The crawl space does indeed need to "breathe," but it does that through its ventilation openings, not by allowing excess moisture to come up through the ground.
If they're going to install a vapor barrier, then the accepted standard is 6-mil black plastic sheeting installed directly on the ground, with joints lapped 12 inches at all seams and the plastic extending up the foundation walls 12 inches all the way around the crawl space. In addition to the vapor barrier, foundation vents are required at a rate of 1 square foot of vent area for every 1,500 square feet of under-floor space, and there has to be one vent opening within 3 feet of every corner of the building. If they're not going to cover the ground completely, then the amount of ventilation needs to increase dramatically, to 1 square foot of vent area for every 150 square feet of floor area.
The people who installed the vapor barrier can't have it both ways. I'm assuming they don't want to come out and install a bunch of foundation vents, so your homeowner should have them come back and finish properly installing the remainder of the vapor barrier.

8 of 8 from Samsung EH4000 series (pictures)
Samsung has a reputation for producing high-quality LCD televisions, and while high-end models like the ES8000 tend to lean on this a bit too heavily with little payback, the EH4000 is the kind of high-value TV you'd expect for the money.
Black levels are the best of its type, and shadow details are easily discerned while still retaining cinematic punch. Color fidelity is also a highlight, with tones akin to last year's LCD favorite, the Samsung D630, if lacking that last hint of accuracy.

Fall is perfect time to enjoy the outdoors in historic Georgetown
Posted 10/3/2013 12:18:00 PM
With the summer crowds gone and cool weather on the way, it's the perfect time to plan a trip to
historic Georgetown
— especially if you love the outdoors.
This coastal community
offers all kinds of eco-tours and outings for every level of adventurer.
I've put together a three-day itinerary with some of my favorites.
Day 1: Kayaking the Waccamaw
Black River Outdoors Center
offers a number of kayaking trips in the area, including one to Sandy Island Nature Preserve, the largest undeveloped fresh water island on the East Coast.
Located between the Waccamaw and Great Pee Dee rivers, this unique 9,000-acre island features pristine tidal wetlands, meandering creeks and a sandhill habitat of old-growth longleaf pine trees.
You'll begin your trip at Wacca Wache Landing in
Murrells Inlet
. Depending on the water level, you may paddle along several small creeks to a small dock on Sandy Island and take a short hike into the preserve or you'll venture into White Creek, a narrow, slow-moving waterway that winds through the island.
Both options offer paddlers the opportunity to view Sandy Island's stunning landscape and its abundance of wildlife from otters and alligators to swallow-tailed kites and endangered red-cockaded woodpeckers. The four-hour trip costs $55.
Black River Outdoors Center offers several other paddling trips in the area. For more information or to make a reservation,
click here
or call (877) 360-4220.
Day 2: Hobcaw Barony
Take it easy on your second day in
and hob aboard a van for a tour of
Hobcaw Barony
, a 17,500-acre preserve that once served as the winter retreat of Wall Street tycoon Bernard Baruch.
In its heyday in the early 1900s, the estate played host to such notable guests as Irving Berlin, H.G. Wells, Winston Churchill and presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt. The A-list of dignitaries hunted duck, deer and quail on the expansive property and enjoyed elegant dinners in the Baruch mansion overlooking the Waccamaw River.
On the three-hour tour, you'll get an inside peek of the mansion and an overview of the history of Hobcaw Barony back when the land was part of the great Lowcountry rice empire. During the tour, you'll also have the chance to walk around a 19th century slave village and travel a portion of the original King's Highway.
Cost of the tour is $20. The preserve's extensive program schedule also includes guided birding trips, fly fishing, hikes and paddling tours. For more information on any of the outings,
click here
or call (843) 546-4623.
Day 3: Bike the Neck
This 12-mile recreational trail runs along the historic Waccamaw Neck, a long narrow peninsula tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and the Waccamaw River.
Start at Morris Park Landing off of U.S. 17 and check out the panorama of Murrells Inlet from the overlook before you begin your ride. You'll get another great view at the bike bridge about a mile from the park.
Just past the bridge, the trail enters the 2,500 acre
Huntington Beach State Park
. The paved pathway winds through the maritime forest for three glorious miles.
Pay the $4 admission charge ($3 for kids 6 to 15) and ride down to one of the best-preserved beaches in South Carolina's upper coastal plain. Enjoy a picnic by the shore or walk out to the Murrells Inlet Jetty. At high tide, you may see red-throated loons, horned grebes or even a black guillemot.
More than 300 species of birds have been sighted in the 2,500-acre park, earning it the reputation as a birding Mecca. One of the best spots to view the avian show is along the causeway at the entrance to the park. On one side you'll find a managed freshwater marsh impoundment; on the other tidal marshes.
Be sure to check out the Education Center before you get back on your bike for the ride back to Morris Park. It features a very cool saltwater touch tank with a small stingray.
Bike rentals are available in Georgetown and Murrells Inlet. If you want more information on Huntington Beach State Park,

Photos We Couldn't Use This Christmas
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
Photography is a medium that can add immeasurable depth to the character and content of an online essay or show page or blog commentary. But, so often, choosing complementary images is treated as an afterthought, a sort of window display that fails to give you a hint of what's inside or add to the story that's being told in text or audio. I take this aspect seriously, especially when it comes to guest contributions to this blog.
In a simple call-out on Facebook and Twitter, we asked our readers to write about Advent or Hanukkah. We received dozens of clever, moving essays (even some on winter solstice!) and poetry — so many so that I worked through my first week of vacation editing and posting them. There were too many not to publish, and putting them off until I returned would mean that the built-in deadlines of the holidays would void them completely. Oh, what a joy though!
And what a challenge to find photos worthy of their partners. I hope I did our guest contributors right. Along the way, I found many others that weren't quite right for pairing with our submissions. I'm sharing three photos with you that I don't want to let go unnoticed.
I couldn't find a spot for the photo above, but Christy Quirk's street shot from her travels in Azerbaijan is absolutely wonderful. The scene is a bit depressing, and the Santa is a skinnier version of Dan Akroyd in Trading Places. (I'm just waiting for him to pull out a piece of salmon…) The photographer's caption says it all:
"Christmas in a Muslim, post-Soviet country is a bit schizophrenic. Christmas isn't celebrated as it is the West, but many of the icons are visible. Azeris like a secular New Year's, but they also sometimes celebrate the Russian Christmas on January 6th. Nevertheless, this Santa looks a little worse for the wear."

And a Lancastrian photographer took this intriguing shot of a roadside vendor selling Santa masks and hats that read "Merry Christmas" — in Goa, India.
As interesting as these two Santa photos may be, it is the following family photo that I regret not using most:

Any family who has sat for a photo knows that the outtakes are often most memorable, and amusing. This one is scintillating and rich with texture, something the viewer can layer with meaning depending on the context. The photographer adds some flavor with his own caption: "For many obvious reasons, this did not make the cut for the family Christmas card, but it made the cut into my heart."
Mine too, Micah. Mine too.
Sifting Through Screens
Andy Dayton, Associate Web Producer
The image above is a photo of artist Nam June Paik's video installation "TV Buddha." It's always been a favorite of mine for its clever take on the practice of meditation — a Buddha statue "contemplating" a live video image of itself. This picture is one of the photos that we considered for our recent program, "TV and Parables of Our Time," but it didn't end up making the final cut.
Choosing images for our programs is one of my favorite parts of this job, but it's not always easy. The best image usually contains some mix of aesthetic appeal, editorial relevance, and that slippery, hard to pin-down thing we call "sensibility."
"TV and Parables of Our Time" was no exception. I initially proposed to Trent (SOF's online editor) using images from the TV shows Krista and Diane Winston discussed (much like our Web site for "A Return to the Mystery"). After talking it over a bit, we decided this conversation deserved a different approach — so it was off to Flickr, Getty, or any other place I might be able to find the right image.

I struggled to figure out where to start searching for an image with this program. The most obvious starting point was to start with an image search for "television," but that seemed a little too easy. I came back to Trent with a set of images (included above), pushing the one you see on top with the young girl facing sideways. Unable to find something directly related to the program (other than the presence of a television), I had mostly gone for images I found visually interesting. Trent's advice: keep looking.
I find that there's no sure-fire way to accomplish this task, but it often helps to have more than one set of eyes looking to get it right. It's real easy to get attached to one element of the program — in this case, the image of a television — and lose track of the larger message. On my second round of searching, I encountered photos of "TV Buddha" and got excited to have found something I already loved — hoping I might be able to make it work for the show. Talking it over with Trent — someone a little less infatuated with the image's content — helped me realized that, while it may have been a cool image, it wasn't the right fit for the program.

I finally came back with one last set of images (above), which included the photo we ended up using, on top. Not only did I like the image, I also appreciated the quote that the photographer included on the photo's Flickr page. From the Egyptian screenwriter Mohammed Amer, on the subject of Egyptian musalsalat (TV series): "One of the most important things soap operas have done is encourage the public to condemn terrorism."
I liked that it kept with one of the themes of the program — the power of televised storytelling to help us cope with contemporary issues — but came from a different cultural perspective: Egyptian television rather than the American-made shows discussed in the program. My one concern was that the image seemed a little grainy, but Trent's input was that the image quality didn't make it less compelling.
Oh yeah, and I did manage to sneak Nam June Paik into the Web site. Another image I'd found on the last round of searching included Paik's large installation "Megatron/Matrix," which we ended up using for the site's secondary pages.

Keeping a quarry in action for 24 hours a day is not easy – but one Thai company, based in Chonburi Province, relies on Volvo Construction Equipment's fast and effective maintenance service to ensure its fleet of wheel loaders and excavators are up-and-running day and night.
A slowly recovering global market helped Volvo Construction Equipment round off 2013 with sales up 3% in the fourth quarter, deliveries up 9% and improved market share, especially in compact equipment, while demand in the mining segment remains soft.
Fourteen machines mobilized by Volvo Construction Equipment and Civic Merchandising Inc. are now in operation and being used by the Philippine government to reconstruct homes and buildings that were destroyed by Typhoon Haiyan.
Volvo Construction Equipment's site in Braås, Sweden becomes the company's first carbon neutral premises – as well as the first construction equipment production facility in the world to be powered entirely by renewable energy.
In a move that will improve the company's penetration in the core earthmoving segment and extend its presence in light mining, Volvo Construction Equipment has agreed to acquire the off-highway hauler business of the Terex Corporation for a purchase consideration of approx. USD 160 M (approx. SEK 1 billion) on a cash and debt free basis.
Martin Weissburg, 51, has been appointed new President of Volvo Construction Equipment, Volvo CE. Weissburg is currently President of the Volvo Group's customer finance company, Volvo Financial Services, VFS, and a member of the Group Executive Team. He will assume his new position on January 1, 2014, and replaces Pat Olney.
Mr. Pat Olney, currently President of Volvo Construction Equipment, has decided to leave his position to take up a new challenge in a non-competing, large engineering company based in the U.S.A. Pat Olney will remain in his present position until year end.
The Volvo Group put on a united front at Indonesia's biggest mining industry exhibition – Mining Indonesia 2013 – as its truck and construction equipment brands demonstrated an integrated, safe and high quality solution to the Indonesian mining industry.
Engineers at Volvo Construction Equipment are developing Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) which could reduce fuel consumption by up to 30% in certain applications and increase safety.
Sharply lower global demand, especially in the mining sector, weighs on first quarter 2013 results at Volvo CE. But with improved profitability over the previous quarter and inventories now in balance, the company has increased production to meet the spring selling season.

Abstract: Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses of the H5N1 strain pose a pandemic threat. H5N1 strain virus is extremely lethal and contagious for poultry. Even though mortality is 59% in infected humans, these viruses do not spread efficiently between humans. In 1997, an outbreak of H5N1 strain with human cases occurred in Hong Kong. This event highlighted the need for rapid identification and subtyping of influenza A viruses (IAV), not only to facilitate surveillance of the pandemic potential of avian IAV, but also to improve the control and treatment of infected patients. Molecular diagnosis has played a key role in the detection and typing of IAV in recent years, spurred by rapid advances in technologies for detection and characterization of viral RNAs and proteins. Such technologies, which include immunochromatography, quantitative real-time PCR, super high-speed real-time PCR, and isothermal DNA amplification, are expected to contribute to faster and easier diagnosis and typing of IAV.

Deputies awarded Medals of Valor
Published on Wed, Oct 22, 2008 by
Evan Mclean
Read More
It has been just more than a month since two local deputies stopped a killer in his tracks in Blyn and Clallam County Sheriff Bill Benedict didn't want another day to go by before awarding the men with the Medal of Valor.
Patrol deputies Matthew Murphy and Andrew Wagner stood tall in front of about 60 law enforcement officers, friends and family as they received the golden medallion hanging from a green and white ribbon.
"These deputies are being commended for their ability to go through the proper procedures and make smart decisions in a matter of seconds in a stressful situation," Benedict said during the Oct. 21 ceremony at the Clallam County Courthouse.
"We have since learned that (Shawn) Roe was likely going to Shelton to kill more people, possibly family members, and go out in a blaze of glory in a shootout with officials."
"These deputies and the cooperation of nearly 80 other law enforcement personnel from about 20 agencies brought this dangerous man down and did a great service to the entire peninsula."
On Sept. 20, both Murphy and Wagner responded within a minute to the report from a convenience store clerk that a known suspect for the murder of U.S. Forest Service officer Kristine Fairbanks, Shawn Roe, was at the Longhouse Market and Deli in Blyn.
Officers had distributed photos of Roe within a half an hour before he entered the market.
The deputies, like other officers in the area, had been stationed in a containment fashion to find Roe before he could leave the area.
At the time, officials thought Roe might have been on foot, as they found his van ditched in the forest off Palo Alto Road, just miles away from where he shot officer Fairbanks at the Dungeness Forks Campground.
Fairbanks had contacted Roe because his van had no license plates.
When Wagner and Murphy arrived at the market, they had enough time to watch Roe inside the store and wait for his exit, when they asked him to get on the ground and surrender.
Roe immediately pulled a pistol, which was one of three guns on his person, from his waist and fired one shot before the deputies responded with nine shots killing him.
Neither deputy was injured.
"There is no time to think about lethal force or if your firearms are ready, that's done ahead of time," Benedict said, indicating the preparation for a shootout situation comes from training.
"These deputies did good work and made the right decisions in the span of just a few seconds, saving possibly more victims and thinking ahead to wait until the man left the market."
After the shootout, officials discovered Roe had driven to the market in a truck he had stolen from a man living on a street off Louella Road. Roe shot and killed the man, Richard Ziegler, of Sequim, while he was working on his house and subsequently took his truck.
As a result of the shootout, the two deputies were placed on administrative leave while an investigation into the shooting took place, which is standard procedure when an officer discharges a firearm.
However, the two men returned back to work within weeks and are back in their vehicles patrolling the streets of Clallam County.
Benedict said the investigation is wrapped up but that the official reports from the Washington State Patrol and the FBI have not been finished. When the reports are completed they will be made public, according to Benedict.

The media doesn't seem to like things that go against their agenda. I think that we may do better by passing on information that they wont. Here is a recent article that needs your browsing, discussion, and forwarding.

Cover letters support your qualifications, and express those qualifications in ways to add value to the organization with which you're interested in working. Employers may gain their first impression by reading your cover letter and choose whether or not to continue on to reading your resume. Your letter should be interesting, easy to read, and concise. Here are a few "Do's" and "Don'ts" of writing your cover letter!
Do's and Don'ts of Cover Letters (source: Hansen, R. and Hansen, K.)
A picture is worth a thousand words; make your thousand words paint a picture of a person the employer wants to hire! Give this format a try:
Need to spice things up? Add in action words to make yourself stand out among your competition. Here's a link to a good list of action words that you might find helpful.
In addition, here are a couple of example cover letters to help get you started
The single most important step in the job search process is preparing your resume. It is this document that prospective employers will use to evaluate your skills, experience, qualifications and education. Not an autobiography, the resume is a summary of your experiences that highlights your skills and accomplishments. You should never send the same resume out to more than one employer. Instead tailor each resume to fit the job description, highlighting your experiences and skills that match. Have it looked over by a Career Counselor before you send it.
You should begin the resume writing process by reflecting on your skills, interests, personal qualities and accomplishments, especially as they relate to the employer's needs and job requirements.
Remember, your resume needs to be unique to you! There are many opinions as to what makes a good resume. Have several people who know you and your career area review your resume. Ask questions and listen to their thoughts. Then decide for yourself what information and "look" best represents you in your absence.
Format Guidelines (credit: Syracuse University)
Having done the appropriate research, you are now ready to begin writing your resume. Listed below are some guidelines you should follow in preparing a resume.
Which kind of Resume?
There are a number of different kinds of resumes: Chronological, Functional, those for the Internet and those for less experienced folks. Typically, chronological resumes are used by individuals entering their career path or continuing in the same path. Functional resumes are more often used by experienced employees seeking mid-career advancement or career changes. Syracuse University provides a great explanation of each and shows you examples! Check it out here.
We understand that everyone is different and everyone wants to do their own thing. We just want to point you in the right direction. Below you will find some links that can also help you with that ever-important resume and cover letter.

Kelty has adopted the European Norm (EN) 13537 test process which provides a standardized comparison method for all sleeping bag brands so that it is easier for you to choose the right sleeping bag for your needs. The two temperature ratings listed are "Comfort" and "Lower Limit." Comfort is defined as the temperature that a standard woman (132lbs / 60kg) will be comfortable at versus lower limit which is the temperature that a standard man (176lbs / 80kg) will be comfortable at. For the Cosmic Down 0, the EN tested Lower Limit is 4F / -16C and the EN tested Comfort Limit is 17F / -8C. Everyone varies in how they sleep, so the temperature rating is only a guide and you may experience being warmer or colder depending on your set of circumstances.

Cardiac Perfusion Scan
Cardiac perfusion scans are usually safe. There is always a slight chance of damage to cells or tissue from radiation, including the low levels of radiation used for this test. But the chance of damage from the radiation is usually very low compared with the benefits of the test.
The risk of exercise depends on the condition of your heart and your general level of health. The risks include:
- Fainting.
- Chest pain.
- An irregular heartbeat.
- Heart attack. There is a slight risk that death may result if a heart attack occurs during the test.
After the test
Call 911 or other emergency services immediately if you develop:
- Chest pain or pressure.
- Trouble breathing.
Test results are usually available within 1 to 3 days.
A cardiac perfusion scan measures the amount of blood in your heart muscle at rest and during exercise.
Results are:1
- Normal if radioactive tracer is evenly distributed throughout your heart muscle.
- Abnormal if areas of abnormal tracer absorption are present. This means some areas of heart muscle are not getting enough blood (ischemia). This may mean that the heart has been damaged or that coronary artery disease is present.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- A recent, serious heart attack.
- Inflammation of the heart, such as myocarditis or sarcoidosis.
- Bruising of the heart muscle (cardiac contusion).
- Weakening of the heart muscle.
- Stiffening of the heart muscle (myocardial fibrosis).
- A severely narrowed heart valve.
- Implanted cardiac devices, such as a pacemaker.
- A condition that makes it difficult to exercise, such as lung disease, arthritis, or a neuromuscular problem.
- Some medicines, such as dipyridamole (Persantine) and pentoxifylline (Trental).
- Severe electrolyte imbalances (especially calcium, potassium, sodium, or magnesium).
- Pregnancy or breast-feeding (except in an emergency).
Test results may be difficult to interpret in scans done on women with large breasts.
What To Think About
Stress testing using medicine may be done instead of exercise stress testing for older adults and people with conditions that may make exercise difficult, such as those who are obese or those who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), peripheral arterial disease, spinal cord injury, arthritis, or multiple sclerosis.
Other tests also may be done to evaluate your heart. To learn more, see:

"HF R100 was a terrible deal."
2.0 starson by DanDeCarliPros: This camcorder films 1080p 2.34 megapixels and the microphone must be awesome as you can hear the inside motor better then anything else. It's the cheapest HD camcorder of this type I've seen so far.
Cons: Not expected quality in a 1080p TV screen. Colors are not good either, lens also no good, battery time is "NOT THAT BAD". Also the zoom is not that bad.
Summary: Not expected quality. In a 1080p TV the image is not so good (it's 2.34 megapixels, below than the minimum for a good quality in 1080p which is from 3mp to 4 mp).
If you want a good image quality, don't buy this camera. It seems everything has a poor quality. When filming inside door, the video is toooooo grainy and you can't see anything else (must be because of it's lens quality).
It seems too cheap at first look but too expensive when you know it. Wouldn't ever buy again, just if it was below $70.

Birthright's 350,000 visitors boost Israel's economy
(JTA) In today's unsurprising news, it turns out that the 350,000 Jewish 18-26- year-olds who have come on free ten-day Birthright trips to Israel have spent a lot of money in Israel. Now thanks to a report from the accounting firm Ernst & Young, we know just how much: $825 million. If you subtract Israeli government contributions to the program, the net economic benefit is still a whopping $635 million.

Revere Capital Advisors aims to provide full support for its managers while investing its own capital
When Dan Barnett and other former board members of Man Group set up their hedge fund investment platform in October 2008, right after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, reactions ranged from scepticism to astonishment.
Dan Barnett
"People asked: 'Is this a good time to be doing it?'. Everybody's hair was on fire in October 2008," Barnett says.
Contrary to expectations, the timing of Revere Capital Advisors' launch turned out to be good, according to Barnett. He and his partners were able to get the New York and London-based business up and running before selecting from the growing pool of talented hedge fund managers seeking capital after the financial crisis.
Barnett, a former Man finance director, is chairman and chief executive of Revere and its driving force. His co-founders are John Kinder,...

Hashim Thaci and Ivica Dacic, leaders of Kosovo and Serbia, reached an agreement in Brussels on the police in northern Kosovo.
Serbia is threatening to quit negotiations with Kosovo after the authorities in Pristina banned Serbian officials from traveling to Kosovo during the election campaign there.
The election commission has stepped in to calm a row over the logo on ballot papers for Kosovo's local polls in November which had threatened to discourage Serbs from voting.
The success of the local elections in Kosovo on November 3 pose a crucial test both for Belgrade and Pristina, UN officials said.
The 15th round of negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina ended on Tuesday without a final agreement on the ballots to be used in the November local elections, or on telecommunications and energy.
Ahead of the upcoming Pristina-Belgrade meeting in Brussels, disagreements persist over the logo to be printed on the ballots for the November local elections in Kosovo.
As a dispute rumbles on over the use of symbols on upcoming Kosovo local election ballots, the OSCE has urged all parties to find a mutually agreeable solution.
No Serb political parties have registered with Kosovo's election commission so far to take part in the local elections scheduled for November.
A petition to amend a controversial law intended to help integrate Serbs into the Pristina-run system by offering amnesties for past resistance has been sent to Kosovo's president.
Prime Minister Hashim Thaci said Serbian parallel police structures in northern Kosovo have already been dismantled, while parallel courts are to close soon.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton strongly backed the amnesty law that is aimed at integrating Kosovo Serbs into Pristina's legal system by decriminalising past resistance.
The Prime Ministers of Kosovo and Serbia are reportedly close to reaching significant deals on telecommunications and energy.
An amended version of a proposed amnesty law aimed at helping normalise relations with Serbia has been sent back to parliament after the original version was voted down.
As the government moves ahead on implementing the EU-brokered deal with Serbia, the opposition nationalist Vetevendosje movement has scheduled a mass protest for Thursday.
Kosovo has named Valdet Sadiku as its liaison officer in Belgrade after the first appointee resigned unexpectedly.
Belgrade and Pristina finally agreed on the future of Serb-run North Kosovo in the tenth round of EU-led talks on Friday.

A moderate earthquake with a magnitude of 5.0 occurred at 1:37 Eastern Standard Time on June 18, 2002 about 10 miles from Evansville, in southwestern Indiana. Moderate damage consisting of broken windows, cracked chimneys, and objects thrown from shelves was reported from the epicentral area. The earthquake was felt in parts of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, and West Virginia. Numerous reports of mild shaking were received from southwestern Ohio, particularly the Cincinnati area, and as far east as Columbus. No damage was reported from Ohio. The event was widely recorded across the state by the Ohio Seismic Network. A 3.9-magnitude earthquake occurred in this same area on December 7, 2000. The epicentral region is on the northern end of the well-known New Madrid seismic zone and is in the general area of a 5.5-magnitude earthquake in southern Illinois in 1968. Several institutions have deployed portable seismographs in the epicentral area in order to record small aftershocks.

A reflex is a muscle reaction that happens automatically in response to a certain type of stimulation. Certain sensations or movements produce specific muscle responses.
Primitive reflexes; Reflexes in infants; Tonic neck reflex; Galant reflex; Truncal incurvation; Rooting reflex; Parachute reflex; Grasp reflex
The presence and strength of a reflex is an important sign of nervous system development and function.
Many infant reflexes disappear as the child grows older, although some remain throughout adulthood. The presence of an infant reflex after the age at which the reflex normally disappears can be a sign of brain damage or damage to the nervous system.
Infant reflexes are reflexes that are normal in infants, but abnormal in other age groups. Such reflexes include:
Other infant reflexes include:
The TONIC NECK REFLEX occurs when you move the head of a child who is relaxed and lying on his back to the side. The arm on the side where the head is facing reaches straight away from the body with the hand partly open. The arm on the side away from the face is flexed and the fist is clenched tightly. Turning the baby's face in the other direction reverses the position. The tonic neck position is often described as the fencer's position because it looks like a fencer's stance.
The TRUNCAL INCURVATION or Galant reflex occurs when you stroke or tap along the side of the spine while the infant lays on the stomach. The infant will twitch his or her hips toward the touch in a "dancing' movement.
The GRASP REFLEX occurs if you place a finger on the infant's open palm. The hand will close around the finger. Trying to remove the finger causes the grip to tighten. Newborn infants have strong grasps and can almost be lifted up if both hands are grasping your fingers.
The ROOTING REFLEX occurs when you stroke the baby's cheek. The infant will turn toward the side that was stroked and begin to make sucking motions with the mouth.
The PARACHUTE REFLEX occurs in slightly older infants, when you hold the child upright and then rotate his body quickly face forward (as if falling). The baby will extend his arms forward as if to break a fall, even though this reflex appears long before the baby walks.
Examples of reflexes that last into adulthood are:
Infant reflexes can occur in adults who have:
The health care provider usually discovers abnormal infant reflexes during an exam that is done for another reason. Reflexes that last after they are supposed to have gone away may be a sign of a nervous system problem in the child.
Parents who are worried about their child's development, or who notice that baby reflexes continue in their child after they should have stopped should tell their health care provider.
The health care provider will perform a physical examination and ask questions about the child's medical history.

Kraft: Stuffing 'not just for Thanksgiving'
ASSOCIATED PRESS April 5, 2012 9:48AM
Updated: May 8, 2012 8:04AM
In a new ad campaign, Kraft Foods will use humor to try to get people to see stuffing as a yearlong staple. The "It's not just for Thanksgiving" campaign, which launches Monday, will feature Pilgrims coping with the fact that Northfield-based Kraft's Stove Top Stuffing is now being consumed on any old night of the week. Stove Top Stuffing was introduced in 1972 and is sold only in North America, where consumers are familiar with the tradition of the Thanksgiving day feast. Despite past efforts to make stuffing more popular year-round, the majority of Stove Top sales still take place between October and December.

Kings humble Oilers for seventh straight win
Sun, 09 Mar 2014 23:15:52 +0000
Edmonton, AB, Canada (4E Sports) - Jeff Carter scored two goals without having to shoot the puck as the Los Angeles Kings defeated the Edmonton Oilers, 4-2, for their seventh straight win Sunday at Rexall Place.
Carter was awarded a goal directed into the net by an Oilers defenseman in the first period and had another bounce in off the back of his leg in the second.
Alec Martinez and Trevor Lewis also scored while Jonathan Quick made 25 saves for Los Angeles (37-22-6).
Taylor Hall and Sam Gagner scored while Ben Scrivens, facing the Kings for the first time since being traded by the team to Edmonton on Jan. 15, made 46 saves for the Oilers (22-34-8).
The Kings opened scoring at 1:36 of the first period when Oilers defenseman Philip Larsen inadvertently kicked the puck into his own net. The goal was awarded to Carter, who had centered the puck.
Edmonton tied the game at 7:24 on a three-way passing play inside the Kings' zone. David Perron found a streaking Taylor Hall, who took the behind-the-back pass and slipped the puck underneath Quick.
Alec Martinez restored the Kings' lead at 8:49 of the second period on a point shot that found its way through traffic and past Scrivens.
Carter increased the Kings' lead to 3-1 at 10:16, after a rebound bounce off the back of his leg past Scrivens.
The Oilers goaltender had stopped Anze Kopitar's initial attempt, but the puck bounced in off Carter, who was battling for position in front with defenseman Andrew Ference.
Carter set up the Kings' fourth goal at 15:49, intercepting Ference's clearing attempt along the boards and setting up Lewis in front.
In the third, the Gagner cut the deficit to 4-2 with his seventh goal of the season at 2:05 as the Kings snapped the Oilers' two-game win streak.
The Oilers play the Minnesota Wild Tuesday night in the first of a four-game road trip while the Kings conclude their three-game Canadian trip against the Calgary Flames Monday.

With the Riesling grapes from Wallula Vineyard, we've crafted a beautifully structured and crisp wine with bright acidity and perfect balance. The resulting wine shows some apricot and pineapple. It is very fresh and lively, tasting dry. The wine has great acidity with some apple fruit and nutmeg notes (probably from the lees contact fraction). The wine was fermented with its native yeasts.
"From a dramatic vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills not far from the Wallula Gap, this riesling is as transparent as any in Washington. Its white flower scents meet fruit that falls quietly between pear and peach. The texture is riveting: the wine's purity enhanced by a racy nervous energy." 91 Points Wine & Spirits
"From the biodynamic Wallula Vineyard comes this dry, leesy, chewy Riesling, packed with lime and citrus flavors. The fruit was hand-picked and biodynamically grown... Tart and juicy, the wine brings a mouthful of peach and stone fruits, with marvelous minerality and texture." 90 Points Wine Enthusiast
