Hey Bexter,
Welcome to the board. I'm not quite sure what sort of help you need. Perhaps it would be best to call someone at RAINN

Bexter...I am a recovered cutter. I say recovered because like being an alcoholic, you can always slip back. You and I cut because we have learned that it is the fastest and most potent anxiety reliever there is. No drug can compete. But it has major drawbacks as you know...including the involvement of social services.
I'm sure you've learned other ways to harm yourself that don't show as much. We are nothing if not crafty. But I know why I cut and I'd be more than happy to talk to you about it. But you need to put down what you plan to use to cut yourself and type instead. I've got nothing to do this evening and I'm here. You can contact me here or by email through the Profiles.
I understand the ss situation as I was also involved with them. My ss worker became my therapist after she quit the dept. I was lucky. I've heard the horror stories. And tell your hubby that not remembering abuse is far more common than he knows. The mind hides what it doesn't want to remember. How many of us remember every bad thing that ever happened to us in childhood? We remember the good and forget the bad. It's just normal.
Contact me if you want to talk and not cut. Those scars never go away and I can tell you, as a grandmother, I'm not looking forward to the day I have to explain them to my granddaughter. It's hard enough explaining them to everyone else who notices.
I'm here if you are willing.
very gentle hugs.................JennyB

What is IMO? Sorry, but I just can't figure that one out. Didn't cut last night - I was able to refrain from it.
|Wed, 01-14-2009 - 10:56am
Hi bexter2000,
IMO means, in my opinion. After reading your posts I was so relieved and happy to hear from you that you did not cut last night. My daughter is a cutter. I did not know till very recently. She says that she has not done it since Novemeber and I must take her word for it. But I see the scars and it makes me so sad that I couldn't be there to comfort her in the moments she needed it most. (she never told anyone except someone on the internet that was not good for her) She covered it so well. But now that I know why she did (does? I pray everyday that she won't) I pray that she now knows that she can come to us or any of her friends to talk about what it is that is making her upset even if it is us. I gave her a lil card as she left for school with a few numbers on it just in case if things got to be to much and she didn't think she could tell anyone. here are some for you. http://www.selfinjury.com/

You are a strong person. You have a recent victory. I give to you gentle hugs as you are here today without cutting yesterday.

Rex::Task - The Task Object
The Task Object. Typically you only need this class if you want to manipulate tasks after their initial creation.
use Rex::Task my $task = Rex::Task->new(name => "testtask"); $task->set_server("remoteserver"); $task->set_code(sub { say "Hello"; }); $task->modify("no_ssh", 1);
This is the constructor.
$task = Rex::Task->new( func => sub { some_code_here }, server => [ @server ], desc => $description, no_ssh => $no_ssh, hidden => $hidden, auth => { user => $user, password => $password, private_key => $private_key, public_key => $public_key, }, before => [sub {}, sub {}, ...], after => [sub {}, sub {}, ...], around => [sub {}, sub {}, ...], name => $task_name, executor => Rex::Interface::Executor->create, );
Returns the current connection object.
Returns the current executor object.
Returns true if the task is hidden. (Should not be displayed on ,,rex -T''.)
Returns the servers on which the task should be executed as an ArrayRef.
With this method you can set new servers on which the task should be executed on.
Delete every server registered to the task.
Returns the current server on which the tasks gets executed right now.
Returns the description of a task.
Set the description of a task.
Returns true (1) if the task will be executed remotely.
Returns true (1) if the task gets executed on the local host.
Returns true (1) if the task gets executed over http protocol.
Returns true (1) if the task will establish a connection to a remote system.
This method tries to guess the right connection type for the task and returns it.
Current return values are SSH, Fake and Local.
SSH - will create a ssh connection to the remote server
Local - will not create any connections
Fake - will not create any connections. But it populates the connection properties so you can use this type to iterate over a list of remote hosts but don't let rex build a connection. For example if you want to use Sys::Virt or other modules.
With this method you can modify values of the task.
Returns the current user the task will use.
Set the user of a task.
Returns the password that will be used.
Set the password of the task.
Returns the name of the task.
Returns the code of the task.
Set the code of the task.
This method is used internally to execute the specified hooks.
Set the authentication of the task.
$task->set_auth("user", "foo"); $task->set_auth("password", "bar");
Merges the authentication information from $server into the task. Tasks authentication information have precedence.
Get the parallelism count of a task.
Set the parallelism of the task.
Initiate the connection to $server.
Disconnect from the current connection.
Run the task on $server.
Returns true if rex should exit on connect failure.

Last night in London, thousands of fans gathered in Olympic Stadium for the Closing Ceremony of the 2012 games. The spectacular show kicked off with fireworks and rolled into a series of performances by British pop stars from the past six decades, including Brian May, The Who, Blur, and George Michael. Even John Lennon and Freddie Mercury made posthumous appearances via video. Brazil gave a preview performance of things to come in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, and Lord Sebastian Coe, chairman of the London Games Organizing Committee, praised the execution of this year's summer games, saying, "When our time came, Britain, we did it right." (Also see our review of the ceremony by Angela Riechers.) [46 photos]

Still, the field suffered another setback in 2012 when Geron Corporation, a central player in stem cell research since the late 1990s, abruptly halted the world's first clinical trial using embryonic stem cells and announced that it would give up stem cells entirely as an area of research. The company cited lack of funding as the reason for its decision.
Scientists clone embryonic stem cells from a man's skin
Posting in Science
Two years ago, scientists conducted a tiny study of the first of embryonic stem cell treatment in humans. The results were promising, but were generally considered a first step because they used infants.
Now, in a new experiment, scientists have made another breakthrough, one that's especially promising for treating maladies that tend to affect older people such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
In this latest study, which was published Thursday in the journal Cell Stem Cell and co-authored by Robert Lanza chief scientific officer at Advanced Cell Technologies, scientists cloned cells from two adult men to make early-stage embryos. The scientists took the nuclear DNA extracted from the skin of a 35-year-old man and injected it into human eggs donated by four women. The women's genetic material was removed from the eggs before the man's DNA was injected. The scientists duplicated the process using the DNA taken from the skin cells of a 75-year-old man.
In both cases, scientists were able to derive tissue from the embryos that matched the DNA from the male donors.
Stem cell research had some challenges early on when then-President George W. Bush prohibited federal funding of such research in 2001. President Barack Obama reversed that decision in 2009.

This distinction matters, because growing embryos are rapidly become people; the men's arms likely will not anytime soon.

Is this research really about stem cells from embryos, or from adult men? Yes, human eggs were used, but the DNA was taken out first...

Wings & Wheels is the 1940 Air Terminal Museum's monthly open house, featuring static displays of airplanes and automobiles, and is one of our fundraisers. It is held every 3rd Saturday of the month, rain or shine.
Hours: 11 am to 3 pm
Wings & Wheels Ticket prices: $7 Adults, $3 Kids (12 and under).
We welcome you to join us either by car or air. Fly-in visitors, car club drivers and museum members get free admission!
Food is provided by a drive-up food vendor or cooked in-house.
Enjoy an afternoon of family fun, and help support the 1940 Air Terminal Museum!
Wings & Wheels ticket price includes: static aircraft tours, special programs in the Starliner Theater, museum tours, and admission to the museum.
We open up our ramp on the west side of Hobby airport and let you get close to the action of a real airport!
Flying in to Wings & Wheels
Flying in is the most fun way to arrive!
William P. Hobby Airport (Identifier: KHOU) is a very General Aviation-friendly Class B airport, and Houston TRACON is a very General Aviation-friendly Air Traffic Control facility. You may easily get flight following and a Class B clearance as you approach the Houston area.
The museum is located at approximately mid-field on the West Ramp of Hobby Airport, along Taxiway G and Runway 17/35. If conditions permit, we suggest that you request this runway so that you may have a shorter taxi time. Simply tell the tower that you will be "parking at the museum" when you make your request and they will generally accommodate you.
Please refer to the current FAA Airport/Facility Directory or other official publications for more information about operating at this airport and for a current taxiway diagram.
Wings & Wheels upcoming themes for 2014
Each month, Wings & Wheels has a different theme to keep things fun and interesting. For a particular month's theme, we will try to get planes on static display, guest speakers, or hold special events which correspond to the curent theme.
No matter what type of plane you have, it is always welcome at Wings & Wheels!
Click on the month name below to view photos & information about previous Wings & Wheels events.
Wings & Wheels 2014
Business Aviation Day (1-18-2014)
Join us as we celebrate the role that aviation has played in business over the past century.
Business aviation day will feature aircraft that were or are used for corporate travel, such as the museum's own Lockheed Lodestar.
Chopper Day (2-15-2014)
Chopper day means helicopters & motorcycles!
We will be welcoming helicopters and motorcycles to the museum for a day of fun for the whole family! Past guests have included the LifeFlight air ambulance, the SkyFox News Helicopter, a Vietnam-Era UH-1 Huey, a US Coast Guard Dauphine, and many more!
Cessna Day (3-15-2014)
From the most popular and prolific training airplanes in the world, the Cessna 152 & Cessna 172, to cabin-class twins like the Cessna 421, and even to the fastest civilian jet in the world, the Cessna Citation X, the company that Clyde Cessna started has always and continues to make great airplanes.
We would like to welcome any and all Cessnas, from early 120's, 140's, and 195's to modern 350's, 400's, and jets to our ramp on this day! Also on this day, come meet representatives from several local flight schools and take the first steps toward realizing your dream of becoming a pilot!
Vietnam War Flight Museum Day (4-19-2014)
Just two doors down from the museum is the Vietnam War Flight Museum, founded in 2002 by Houston, TX aviator Rick Sharpe and is dedicated to educating the public about the service and sacrifice to the United States by the veterans of the Vietnam War.
This month's Wings & Wheels will feature several aircraft from their collection.
Learn to fly day (5-17-2014)
Many people from all walks of life learn to fly every day. It is a very fun and challenging hobby, or can be made into a career!
The EAA announced International Learn to Fly Day in 2009 with the aim of growing the pilot population and educating the public about the importance and value of the airports in their communities. Many people don't know what it takes to earn their wings. For many, flying is only something one daydreams about, because it is such an unknown, and it is up to pilots to invite others 'across the fence' and show them what it is all about. Airports as well are great unknowns, but they serve us and our communities - they are ours to visit too!
For Learn to Fly Day, we're inviting area flight schools and flying clubs to visit the original terminal building at Hobby Airport and help us remove the mystery about becoming a pilot.
Beechcraft Day (6-21-2014)
Calling all Beechcraft!
Since Walter Beech came out with his first airplane, the Beechcraft Company has come out with many, many types of aircraft, and has established themselves as the lead manufacturer of aircraft for fast, safe, private transportation.
On this Wings & Wheels day, we pay tribute to this great company and line of aircraft by welcoming Beechcraft of all models to the museum. From early-model Staggerwings to late-model King Airs and BeechJets, we welcome them all!
Raffle Day (7-19-2014)
This month our Raffle Plane takes center stage! It's Raffle Day! Join us as we draw the winner of the raffle plane.
Tickets are still available for $50 until noon on Friday, July 18. Buy a ticket today, and you could be the lucky winner! You can buy them right here on the website, or stop by, or call us.
This is the seventh year we've given away an airplane! You could be our lucky winner!
West Ramp Warbird Roundup! (8-16-2014)
It's that time of year again, when we gather up all the warbirds we can and invite them to the museum for a day of fun!
This month, we will feature some incredible vintage aircraft from several different organizations, all dedicated to keeping these historical aircraft flying!
On the schedule at this point are the following aircraft (in no particular order):
CAF Houston Wing
CAF Gulf Coast Wing
CAF Highland Lakes Squadron
Collings Foundation
Mooney Day (9-20-2014)
Mooney Aircraft are built here in Texas and are easily identified by their distinctive tails, with a shape that makes them appear forward-swept. They consistently make headlines for the speed of their aircraft, such as the Acclaim, which became the fastest single-engine aircraft, and the Ovation3, which became the fastest single-engine, normally aspirated aircraft.
Partly as a result of the enormous economic recession, Mooney stopped producing aircraft in 2008 but continued to provide parts and technical support, and reduced staff further and further. Type clubs committed to the aircraft were in abundance at our March 2011 Wings and Wheels.
Kerrville, TX is building Mooneys again, and the first was delivered at Oshkosh. Come meet fellow Mooney owners and share tips and learn more about these great planes, still setting records as Mooney Rises. Have a Mooney? Stop on by! We will be joined by the Mooney Aircraft Pilots Association, the Mooney Ambassadors, the Mooney Caravan / Formation Flying Group, and Vintage Mooney Group.
We're also hosting the timeless automobiles from the DeLorean Owners of Texas. This club serves DeLorean owners and enthusiasts in central and southeast Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma.
Another story of a vehicle and its unstoppable, devoted fans, DeLorean owners who were left without a company to turn to soon found people who were ready to provide service and support. Eventually they too found warehouses of parts, enough to remanufacture existing vehicles, and soon, assemble completely new ones.
Come see the sharp-edged vehicles of the air and ground!
Fly-in visitors are encouraged, as you know any and every plane is always welcome. Fly to Wings and Wheels and join us on the ramp!
Wings and Wheels is from 11 am to 3 pm the third Saturday of each month and has a different theme each month.
Admission is $7 for adults and $3 for children, and includes access to the Museum, static aircraft and vehicle displays, and supervised access to the ramp when open. Admission is waived for visitors who fly in, or who drive in with a classic car. Lunch is available from a local mobile food vendor.
Flaming Patties will be onsite with their delicious gourmet burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches! Find out more at their Facebook page or follow them (around town!) on Twitter.
Airliner Collectible Show - with Swifts! (10-18-2014)
The Globe Swift was the first low wing, two-place retractable-gear general aviation aircraft, and it was produced here in Texas! This aircraft had fighter-plane looks that made it a real eye-catcher. Over 1500 were produced in Fort Worth and Grand Prarie, Texas.
The Swift was developed from a traditional wood/fabric prototype, and after a few wood/tube/fabric iterations, the 1940 design evolved by 1945 into an all-metal aircraft. After certification in 1946, over 1500 GC-1A and GC-1B aircraft were built until production ended in 1951.
We are welcoming the Red River Swift Wing and any pilots of these great aircraft to visit the 1940 Air Terminal Museum in October. Of course, any and every plane is always welcome to Wings and Wheels, which runs from 11 am to 3 pm Saturday, October 18.
Also enjoy the 23rd annual Airliners Collectibles Show taking place concurrently from 9am to 3pm in our Atrium!
Hangar Day (11-15-2014)
This month we're showing off our collection of donated and loaned aircraft with thanks to the folks who have made it possible to have a full hangar. After all, what is an airport without airplanes?
Perhaps you've been longing to look upon our lovely Lockheed Lodestar, behold our Bamboo Bomber, check out our Sikorsky chopper, or take in our Texaco Tanker Truck! Well, come on by and we will make sure you get to see this great stuff and more. Weather permitting, we'll have most or all these aircraft out on our ramp! In addition, we will have cars from the Houston chapter of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America!
Our thanks to Paul F. Barnhard, Sr., for the beautiful Lockheed Lodestar, Dennis Winegarner for the gracious loan of the Cessna T-50 'Bamboo Bomber', St. Louis Helicopters for the kid-pleasing Sikorski S-58, and our friends at the Houston Heritage Society for the loan of the sharp-looking Texaco Truck.
Fly-in visitors are encouraged, as you know any and every plane is always welcome to the 1940 Air Terminal Museum. Fly to Wings and Wheels and join us on the ramp!
HoustonSpotters & Museum Volunteer Appreciation Day (12-20-2014)
This month we turn our attention to those who turn their attention to airplanes and airports. If you love planes, we are right there with you! A plane spotter can be anyone from the families who enjoy Hobby's public viewing areas, to folks who like to jot down tail numbers, to those who improve their own craft photographing these flying craft. Why do you like to look at planes? Maybe you love refining your photography techniques, and hope your shot is picked by a magazine or airline. Maybe you want to see how much of an airline's fleet you can see, and later compare notes with your fellow spotters. Maybe you just like watching these things take to the air, and share that enjoyment with your family.
HoustonSpotters.Net is a website dedicated to plane spotting in Houston.
HoustonSpotters day is all about plane spotting and photography. Ramp tours of Hobby will be arranged, and groups of people will be taken around the field to spot planes and take photos.
We also like to recognize the hard work our volunteers do all year for our museum, whether helping our monthly fly-ins come together, or staffing the museum the other 290-something days of the year.
Stop by the 1940 Air Terminal Museum at Houston Hobby Airport and let's see what flys in! We will have a few Ops tours scheduled so that you can see our great airport from a different angle. Be someone out standing in our field!

Gains in Iowa and Nevada for Patients, Nurses
The Iowa Supreme Court ruled last week that advanced registered nurse practitioners (ARNPs) can supervise fluoroscopy, a high-tech X-ray and imaging procedure. The high court ruling was in response to a challenge by three nursing organizations to an earlier decision from a district court.
"We believe the district court erred in second-guessing the department of public health and nursing board on the adequacy of ARNP training to supervise fluoroscopy," the Iowa Supreme Court wrote. "The record affirmatively shows ARNPs have been safely supervising fluoroscopy and are adequately trained to do so… Allowing ARNP supervision of fluoroscopy improves access to healthcare for rural Iowans and helps lower costs."
Experts say the ruling has implications for patients, especially those living in rural areas with limited access to doctors, who will be able to get test results more quickly. That can alleviate fears if the fluoroscopy shows that a patient does not have a serious health problem or, conversely, it can facilitate quicker treatment if a patient needs it.
Diversity in Nursing Education Helps Students Learn Respect and Appreciation for Differences
Mable Smith, PhD, JD, MSN, BSN, RN, is founding dean of the College of Nursing at Roseman University of Health Sciences (formerly the University of Southern Nevada) and an alumna of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Executive Nurse Fellows program. This is part of a series of posts looking at diversity in the health care workforce.
A diverse nursing student body builds the foundation for a diverse workforce that can become effective in the provision of culturally competent care to patients. Our student body at Roseman University of Health Sciences is reflective of the diversity seen in the population that consists of Caucasians, African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders, to name a few. This diversity is reflected in the health care system among workers and patients. Students bring a wealth of information that is shared with each other and with faculty.
For example, in a class discussion on nutrition, students from various cultures shared how and what types of foods are used to treat certain illnesses. There were discussions on how food should be presented, such as hot versus cold, raw versus cooked. Some students shared the significance of family presence during meals even for hospitalized patients. These discussions quickly incorporated religious practices and certain etiquettes to promote "religious correctness" when interacting with various cultural and religious groups. Students also provided insight into generational differences and changes with emphasis on the fact that many in the younger generation have not adopted the strict traditions of their parents and grandparents.
Physician Shortage No Longer Limited to Rural Areas
Large population centers like Las Vegas and Detroit are feeling the effects of the nation's physician shortage, Bloomberg News reports, which is no longer limited to rural areas. Patients in populous urban areas are waiting weeks—or even months—or traveling to find the care they need.
Many factors are contributing to the shortage, including an aging physician workforce that is reaching retirement, and not enough new doctors in the pipeline to replace them and care for an influx of patients with increasingly complex health care needs.
Doctors also tend to stay near where they train, the story reports, creating poor distribution in states like Nevada that don't have large medical schools or training hospitals. Census Bureau data shows that Nevada has the fifth-lowest ratio of doctors to patients in the country, behind Wyoming, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Idaho.
One possible solution: other health care professionals. "In a bid to address the shortage, the medical community has embraced the greater use of nurse practitioners and physician assistants, who can prescribe medicines and diagnose and treat many illnesses," the story reports.
What do you think? What steps will convince physicians to practice in underserved areas? Register below to leave a comment.
Addiction by Design: Machine Gambling in Las Vegas
Natasha Dow Schüll, PhD, MA, is a cultural anthropologist and associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Program in Science, Technology and Society. She is an alumna of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Health & Society Scholars program (2003-2005). Her recent book, Addiction by Design: Machine Gambling in Las Vegas, examines the ways that the gambling industry has designed gambling machines that encourage addiction.
Human Capital Blog: In your book, you describe how electronic gambling machines—the modern equivalent of slot machines—are designed in such a way that they encourage addiction. Tell us about that, please.
Natasha Dow Schüll: If you have never actually been in a Las Vegas casino and your idea of it comes from a James Bond movie, you'd be surprised by what you'd find. Of course they still have card games and roulette wheels, but most of the money casinos make is from electronic gambling machines, which are amazingly sophisticated versions of the classic three-reel slot machine. Every aspect of their design—the hardware, the software, the math, even the seating components—is carefully designed to keep players at the machine, playing game after game. Play is simple and amazingly fast—it takes only three to four seconds per spin. The machines are programmed so gamblers win every now and then, and they give audiovisual feedback to encourage them to continue. They induce players to gamble quickly and repeatedly, developing a sort of rhythmic flow that can sweep them away. Gamblers talk about getting into a "zone" where everything but the game just drops out of their awareness. After a while, they crave the zone itself, so it stops being about beating the machine and becomes instead about staying on the machine for as long as they can so they can be in that zone. They're addicted, and they develop all the behaviors of an addict as a result.
My point is that it's no accident; the machines are designed to drive the kinds of behavior—playing faster, longer, and more intensively—that turns gamblers into addicts.
Health & Society Scholar Alum Interviewed On "60 Minutes"
RWJF Health & Society Scholars program alum (2003-2005) Natasha Schull, Ph.D., M.A., was interviewed by Lesley Stahl for the January 9, 2011 edition of "60 minutes" on CBS. Her topic: a new generation of slot machines that is contributing to gambling addiction. With gambling now legal in 38 states, the latest breed of slots relies on flashing lights, noises, rapid and multiple bets, and other stimuli to lull players into a trance-like state that Schull calls, "the zone."
Schull is a cultural anthropology professor at MIT and a documentary filmmaker. She has recently finished a book based on her research in Las Vegas among compulsive gamblers and the designers of the slot machines they play. Addiction by Design: Machine Gambling in Las Vegas is scheduled for publication by Princeton University Press later this year.

Arth claims to be a visionary. His
website offers a program of solutions for oft-discussed political
controversies, including "overpopulation," "legal
injustice," "economic inequality," and "religious
intolerance." But when the curious click through to read his
plans, they only find so many dead links. And that is how it is
with Mr. Arth, judging by what I was able to read about his political
theory and his conception of "UNICE." There is nothing
visionary there, just so many dead links.
We must expect
of our visionaries that they will be self-important in many fields.
What distinguishes visionaries from nut-jobs, though, is that in
at least one field, their self-importance is justified. Well, Mr.
Arth, you have struck gold, predictably in the field where you earn
your income: New Pedestrianism is the idea, and it is visionary.
New Pedestrianism
can best be described as a subset of New Urbanism. This larger school
originated in the ideas of Jane Jacobs and her urban-conservative
comrades-in-arms. Jacobs reacted against the modernist tendency
of figures like Robert Moses to demolish the traditional city to
make way for elevated highways and Garden-City towers. You will
recognize what were then called Garden-City towers as today's housing
projects, a.k.a. "the projects." Jacobs famously explicated, in
her volume The
Death and Life of Great American Cities, that small-scale,
mixed-use, diverse inhabitants, and "eyes on the street"
made for livable urban spaces. More importantly for our subject,
Mrs. Jacobs distinguished between foot-people and car-people. The
city is for the former, the suburbs for the latter. Mrs. Jacobs
took care to draw the two groups as mutually exclusive, for each
represented a significant investment in a particular lifestyle.
Perhaps the
greatest failure of American urban design is the attempt to integrate
automobile use into the urban core. Over the last century, we have
become so enamored with the motorized lifestyle, that there are
hardly any places on the continent of North America where daily
life can be pursued on foot. Great for the car-people; bad for the
foot-people. Mr. Arth has provided a way out. While utilizing the
fundamental block design of New Urbanism, Mr. Arth has modified
key details that address resounding oversights in New Urban design.
Instead of creating two-story houses on a grid of low-traffic streets,
as a New Urbanist might, he has moved the garage and motorway to
the back of the homes and fronted the houses onto pedestrian lanes.
These modifications may seem minor, but have revolutionary implications
for the lifestyle of the neighborhood's inhabitants. Instead of
a motorway-centric district, where kids play roller-hockey until
someone yells "car," the front face of houses now spill
onto a plaza-like central walkway where humans come first. Cars
are thus incorporated, necessary due to their ubiquity in American
life, but relegated to their proper purpose — long-distance travel.
With a pedestrian walkway and a few nearby businesses, suddenly
it becomes more appealing to ditch the car for daily activities
and save it for a trip to Aunt May's. New Pedestrianism is, in a
word, sanity. It is sanity re-introduced to the cityscape and the
countryside that for too long have been built not for people but
for their cars, not for living but for driving.
Okay, you may
say, this all sounds great, but like New Urbanism it is overly-planned,
utopian, and the market won't support it. Here is where Mr. Arth's
brilliance becomes truly apparent: He has implemented his vision.
Besides drawing up the plans for all to see, he has actually risked
capital on rehabilitating the town of DeLand, Florida according
to New Pedestrian principles. And it was a success! What was once
known as "Cracktown" has become a gentrified living and
working town in the middle of sprawling suburbia. What was once
a trailer park has become Phoenix Court, a group of brightly-colored
homes around a central plaza with fountain. The market not only
supports this activity, it is increasingly demanding it. But are
developers too slow to adapt?
While Mr. Arth
talks dismissively about libertarians, it is actually socialist
zoning policies that are the biggest obstacle to urban renewal á
la New Pedestrianism. Much of Mr. Arth's vision is transplanted
from an earlier era, pre-Modern, before the advent of comprehensive
zoning. Having worked with developers myself, I can attest that
zoning often turns idealistic urban designers into lowest-common-denominator
subdivision builders. It introduces extra costs into the development
process, eating into the wiggle-room used for experimentation. It
mandates wide roads, allotted parking-per-unit, low densities, and
single uses. Often, developers are stripped of discretion over how
their communities will be designed by mandatory urban plans with
particular street layouts and landscaping requirements. If it weren't
hard enough to convince stubborn developers that they can still
make a buck on more friendly designs, they are almost universally
prohibited from doing so legally.
Michael E.
Arth's New Pedestrianism is the post-modern solution for urban decay.
We will return to a lifestyle that de-emphasizes the automobile
and supports human-scale interaction. The Europeans are way ahead
of us on this one, but with a dose of American ingenuity, Mr. Arth
has found a way to incorporate our automotive dependence into the
context of a true urban space. I have no doubt that ideas such as
these, perhaps popularized by Mr. Arth's new feature film on the
subject, will enter the mainstream of urban design practice in my
generation. Mr. Arth may have a few dead links, but his greatest
vision will foster many lives well lived.

Dawn of the First DayThe sixth game in The Legend of Zelda series, Majora's Mask is a direct follow up to Ocarina of Time, both in story and gameplay. The development team re-used the engine and models from Ocarina Of Time, thus greatly reducing the development time to one year.Following the end of Ocarina of Time, Link has embarked on a personal quest to be reunited with a lost friend. Wandering through a mysterious forest on his trusty horse Epona, he is suddenly mugged by a masked Skull Kid and his two fairy companions, who steal Epona and the Ocarina of Time before fleeing. Link chases after them, but falls down a a rabbit hole of sorts and is transformed into a Deku Scrub by the mischievous Skull Kid.Coming to his senses, Link discovers that he has fallen into the parallel world of Termina, which is eagerly preparing for the annual Carnival of Time. Unfortunately, a sinister omen hangs in the sky: the Skull Kid has taken control of the moon and intends to crash it into Termina within three days, wiping out everyone and everything.After regaining his Ocarina and true form, Link sets out on a quest to Save The World by travelling to the four corners of Termina and awakening its slumbering guardians. Not only can Link gather and wear different masks to transform into new forms with their own unique abilities, but he can use the Ocarina of Time to travel back in time to the beginning of his quest, giving him additional time to unravel the plot of the Skull Kid.Having only four dungeons, Majora's Mask places great emphasis on sidequests. There are many people in need of help throughout the land of Termina within the three days leading up to its destruction, and by exploiting the "Groundhog Day" Loop Link can help all of them (albeit temporarily) to acquire Pieces of Heart, new Masks, and other rewards. These include helping a young couple to reunite and defending a farm from cow-stealing UFOs.This game is set to get a Updated Re-release for the Nintendo 3DS titled The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D. It has visuals similar to Ocarina of Time 3D and will be released in Spring 2015.

Comments about TRAYL Boys' Trax 24" Bicycle:
I ordered this bike on-line because it was no longer available at the local SA.
The first thing I notice on the box is a note to the retailer that it should only be delivered to the consumer fully assembled.
Upon completing the assembly and my son's using the bike, I noticed that the bearings in the steering tube have a lot of play in them. This causes a littel shudder whenever the brakes are used.
Now I have to disassemble the steering tube to check and adjust these bearings.

The University of Florida, the National Animal Control Association and the U.S. Humane Society conducted an exhaustive review of the Mobile County Animal Shelter operations and released those findings Monday, January 27.
The University of Florida Maddie Medicine Program said it wants the shelter to increase its life saving capacity.
In 2012, the program reported 7,037 animals were admitted to the Mobile County Animal Shelter.
The shelter, according to the program, said it had a 39 percent live release rate in 2012.
That means 45 percent of dogs were euthanized (most due to illness acquired in shelter) and 88% cats (most cats euthanized because they seemed feral).
Currently, the shelter has a "no adoption" policy if a dog falls under the bully bread something The University of Florida said it wants to see changed. It said there are "several opportunities to help the shelter's life saving capacity."
"Nearly half of all shelter admissions are puppies and kittens and most of those animals are adoptable," a spokesperson with the university said.
The program also recommends removing a mandatory 7 day hold period for puppies and kittens.
Mobile County Commissioner Connie Hudson said the mandatory holding period is state law and she wants to speak with legislators about decreasing the holding time so the shelter can adopt out more animals.
The Humane Society of the United States recommended enhancing and increasing local adoptions and NACA recommended defining the role of animal control along with safety and situational awareness of officers.
Animal control officers said they've already made some changes at the shelter including taking in less animals and learning how to evaluate them resulting in a 20 percent decrease in euthinization rate.
"They (MCAS staff) get with the vets and learn how to identify diseases, what they need to take care of, how they need to proceed from there," said Mobile County Humane Officer, Carmelo Miranda

Submission forms were unified almost completely by Laurel several years ago.

If so, we'd be glad to help. In addition to Tec's notes, know that if the device change is returned for some reason, your old device remains registered to you as your device -- it's released or badged only when the new device passes. That is, there's no risk of losing the old before getting the new. More details than you may want about "badges", and I hope I don't confuse matters much more: Briefly, our use of the word "badge" oversimplifies and fails to match period practice. In period, badges generally didn't have outlines at all, much less circular ones. They were usually "fieldless" -- no background, but just an object or a couple of connected objects that you might cast out of metal, as just one example implementation, and pin to your hat or your retainer or whatever. The only reasons the circle is on the badge form are because someone years ago misinterpreted a famous set of depictions of the Stafford badges, because it's convenient to tell at a glance the difference between a device submission and a badge, and to make sure people don't draw things too large. However, that's *period* badges. In *period*, badges were pretty much used to mark something as "that's mine": servants, for example. In the *SCA*, "badge" is used much more generally. It means "anything except the one (1) device you're allowed to register". Guild armory, the flag for use by the populace to say "I'm Ansteorran", award insignia, office armory -- all these are called "badges" by the SCA, but period people wouldn't have called them "badges".

Spice Time is a family run company based in Birmingham. It came about when one of the family went to university and found that there was absolutely no Halal food available where he was studying. Unable to cook for himself and no halal meat available he relied on packages of food prepared by his mum! This alongside a mum's passion for cooking led to the development of Spice Time as a frozen food brand name.
Our foods are prepared fresh and frozen the very same day and all our dishes are made using traditional and authentic cooking methods and recipes. We only use the freshest vegetables and spices and all of our foods are 100% HALAL. We are audited by Birmingham City Council & STS and registered with The Halal Monitoring Committee and The Halal Food Authority.
We supply most of the schools and centres within Birmingham with their Halal foods. We are constantly re-designing foods that meet new health regulations yet are still authentic and delicious for the kids without being bad for their health. Over the last 10 years we have slowly grown into a company that prides itself on supplying the food that is only good enough for our family dinner table, to all our customers.

Lost Finale Review: Let There Be Light...by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
All of this matters.
Throughout season six of Lost, fans had wondered about what they were seeing. Would our beloved characters end up in a seemingly random Sideways World, thereby negating all we'd watched for five years, rendering life on the island meaningless?
In the end, as Jack's four words above to Desmond sum up nicely: no. It mattered. What happened happened. We'd been told this many times and the final 10 minutes of this series finale explained why: everything we saw on the island was real. These were the real lives of real people with seriously real problems.
At some point, they died. We witnessed many of these deaths. Others occurred at later dates. But, in the end, the castaways could only move on to a light-filled world beyond this one if they tweaked Jack's season one advice: after-live together, or die alone.
See you in another life, brutha? How right Desmond has been all along.
The final message of Lost is an interesting one, a profound one and the mythology surrounding it will be debated among viewers for as long as the series ran. But let's start with events on the island during these two-and-a-half hours - because they were a major clusterf%$k!
Producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have spent season six telling us the show is about characters, not jaw-dropping answers. We've been on board with this assessment. However, "The End" sacrificed logical, suspenseful storytelling in the name of delayed character development/resolution.
Every development on the island felt arbitrary, something cooked up by the writers as an after-thought just to get individuals in place for the series-concluding revelation. To wit:
Rose and Bernard pulled Desmond to safety?!? Jack and Locke met in a field, and the new Jacob had no actual plan? He was on board with simply hoisting Desmond down a cave and seeing what his actions produced?
We understand Jack is a man of faith now, but it wasn't clear what viewers were supposed to be waiting for as all this went down. In the past, each season's end game was clear: get into the hatch... get off the island... get back to the island... But this sort of focus was missing from this finale (heck, from the season) because Lost purposely kept us in the dark about the Sideways World.
MIB wanted to destroy the island, and we were told this was bad. Everyone would perish. But Sideways Desmond was around, enlightening folks left and right, causing on-island events to lack a sense of urgency.
Clearly, everyone was not going to die, no matter what MIB threatened or did. Almost as obviously, they'd all be awoken to their experiences on the island. The past few weeks were building to that. What would this mean in the battle of good vs. evil? Where would the characters go from there? Those were the questions on my mind during the finale, all of which were tackled in the final few minutes - but all of which also made the preceding two hours and twenty minutes feel anticlimactic.
I found myself almost bored, anxious to get everyone enlightened so we could get to the show's overarching resolution.I was especially disappointed when Kate killed MIB. After creating such a mysterious, indestructible force of evil, the show made him human again with the removal of a stone by Desmond, and then killed him off via a gun shot to the back? It wasn't the ending Smokey deserved. It also served as a bait-and-switch, as previous episodes hyped a looming showdown between good and evil. We never really got that. Instead, we got a story about Jack and his tussle with a light-plugging rock.
The Jack/Smokey climax was also just hokey. The driving rainstorm. Jack's slow-motion jump/punch. Kate's line about saving one bullet for Locke. I expect such levels of cheese from bad action movies, not iconic TV shows.
Of course, these aren't the developments fans will be debating and discussing in the hours, weeks and months to come. Did everything on the island feel sloppy and arbitrary? Yes. But it was what we learned about the characters' off-island lives that will be lighting up our Comments section below (be opinionated there, but please be respectful of each other).
The Sideways World is a form of purgatory, a place the castaways unknowingly created because they could not "move on" without one another's support and love. In order to remember and let go, they needed to be reminded of what they experienced on the island, of who they met, of how they came together.
Did Jacob help them create this world? Was that the significance of his touch? He may have been a proponent of free will, but Jacob was also fond of pushing people in a certain direction. He didn't simply bring individuals to the island to find a successor; he brought them to prove his message: It only ends once. Everything else is just progress. Viewers were led to believe he meant his struggle with his brother.
But what better way to sum up a human life? Lost concluded its ambitious run by telling us: this world is filled with mistakes and regrets, but it's all a lesson. Learn from it. Rely on other people ("I can't do it without you," Kate told Claire during the latter's labor) and strive for progress in all you do. You'll never truly know any kind of higher power, so stop focusing on it (we've seen what happens to those that do. Sorry, pals of MIB and purged Dharma folk... and, really, viewers that craved answers above all else).
Want to achieve a happy after-life? Simply love your fellow man in this life.
That was the message, but getting there required twists, turns, questions and answers. We stopped wondering a long time ago about the Dharma Initiative, or what made Walt special, or any number of issues related to mundane island facts. Instead, when faced with this new information on the Sideways World, the following inquiries, points and observations come to mind:
- What is Eloise Hawking's role in it? She didn't want Desmond to enlighten his friends... simply because she didn't want her son to move on and move away? She was made out to be all-knowing throughout Lost, but her motives were never clear.
- Same for Charles Widmore. What did he know about the island and what was his end game?
- Where did Jughead fit into all this? Did its explosion create the Sideways World? Having a specific event create it would seem to run counter to the concept that the castaways themselves created this place via their formed bond/community on the island.
- Simply amazing acting all around. Every awakening scene was played perfectly by those involved.
- On the season premiere, Rose told Jack it was okay. He could "let go." Guess he just needed about 18 more hours to come to that same conclusion.
- David Shepard doesn't actually exist, right? That's always a frustrating type of cop-out: when a show focuses on a character and then reveals this was just an imaginary plot device.
- The finale was filled with self-aware winks at the audience: Sawyer described Jack's plan as a "long con," Kate laughed at the name "Christian Shepard," Hurley might as well have been channeling Lindelof and Cuse when he responded to Sayid's questions about "rules" with the response: "Trust me."
- In the end, one could interpret the arbitrary events on the island (as outlined above) as part of a grander message about the island and/or religion itself: it's all arbitrary! Jack caught on to this when he went along with the water con for Hurley's appointment. It was a made-up ceremony, as were the rules that governed this special place. After all, who can possibly say for sure what is right and wrong when it comes to such higher powers?
- Sayid and Shannon?!? Barf! Somewhere, Nadia lovers are outraged that Sayid's enlightenment came at the hands (and lips) of this woman, as opposed to the one most of us believed was his soulmate.
- Absolutely loved the fact that Ben didn't believe he had earned a place inside the church, as well as Hurley's nod to him making a great number-two. Ben truly had done everything in the name of the island, in the name of what he thought was best for mankind. After learning that MIB played him, and watching Jack's sacrifice, he apparently started his road to redemption as soon as Hurley's asked for his assistance - but he still didn't believe that was enough to warrant him a spot with the other survivors.
This won't be my final say on the show or the episode. Not by a long shot. There's a lot to analyze, critique and praise. It's been a pleasure to have taken the Lost ride with you this season, and I'd love to hear from readers now.
Many characters on the finale said "it worked." So therein lies the question: Did the conclusion of Lost work for you?

Dude, I just finished LOST for the 3rd time. Thanks, dude!
I find it funny that people mock this show at all. Fantastic writing and acting, and the story ended exactly as it should have. The whole point of the show was to break the expectation of purely logical explanations and focus on the emotional connections between characters. The fact that it happened on a magical island that isn't completely explained is EXACTLY THE POINT. Everything happened for a reason in these particular people's lives, and that reason was to bring them close enough together to bind their souls forever. It takes balls to take it to the afterlife like they did, and I think it's about as satisfying as it could've been. Leaving Ben out makes sense, as he has what matters to him most in Alex and was never really part of the group anyway. For those angry about leaving characters out of the group at the end, I hope you have come to terms with your disappointment and realized that it completely made sense as none of the other ancillary characters shared very strong one or two way bonds with the final group.
After watching Lost for a second time, there was definitely a better way to end it. The fundamental difference between Jacob and "Eve" was that she did not interfere with the outside world. His brother interfered once they reached the island. Neither were protagonists. The light was fate that Jacob manipulated to his own whims. The reason that the island was underwater after the incident was because his brother succeeded in correcting the threads that Jacob had no right to change in the first place. We know that Jacob isnt God and his brother isn't the devil. The one true threat has always been Widmore but his death was uneventful. It is debatable whether Linus followed the word of Jacob or his own whims. No one can dispute that Jacob nor his brother had any regard for humanity before Dharma or after. In the end, the flash sideways were fate correcting itself without Jacob. His brother didn't deserve his fate but, that's
brilliant show i love all d actors especially jack and chalie.the show teaches one to think less of this world and more of heaven after life.
Lol only the people online complain about the ending. Most of the people I know liked it. Also, in a poll taken a while ago more than 50% of the fan base LIKED the ending. Suck on that one you fucking whining shits. A majority of the questions in LOST were answered/capable of answering if you just use your god damn (pun) mind and think for a second. It's pathetic how many of you wanted to be spoon-fed at the end of the finale. LOST obviously was never for you. Too bad, no one cares because LOST earned its place as one of the greatest shows of all time. *according to TIMES, ratings, other magazines, et cetera. Haha we win
All the people that complain are morons who are incapable of understanding a simple ending. THAT'S RIGHT. Lost ended "simply". There was no complex ending so I don't see why many of you can't seem to comprehend what happened. LOST was the greatest show of all time for me and will always stay that way. The rest of you are bandwagoning and essentially crying because LOST didn't end how YOU wanted it. Excuse me, but this wasn't your show. You didn't write it, I don't give a fuck about online theories that had no merit to them. In the end, MOST of the show's mysteries were solved and for those of you who disagree you obviously are fucking lazy and haven't don't ANY research or re-watched the episodes. I watched all six seasons of LOST twice. LOST ending perfectly, it was always about the character's life dilemmas and coming to terms with themselves and others.
Did the conclusion work for me? No. I hated the Sideways dimension or whatever it. I hated the fact that characters like Michael and Ana-Lucia were punished by being kept out, because they were disliked by the fans. The whole matter of MIB becoming mortal made no sense at all. It was just a mess, dressed up with emotional and action scenes.
I know that EVERYONE has their own "theories" on what really happened in the conclusion of Lost, but does anyone ACTUALLY know (for a FACT) what happened?? Is there any site where the producers actually Explain it?? I want to KNOW!!!!
What happened? What was the point of the side ways world? Was that happening simultaneously as the the island life was happening? Did they never make it back at the end? If so why didn't we see the plane blow up? I am a little disappointed by the end, it's as if they just wanted to end it and as many of you commented, not explain the small details, very frustrating.
I never watched Lost when it was on TV. I started season one in July this year and just finished the last season a few days ago. Everyone on here seems to be upset about all the questions going unanswered. For me, the show was not about learning why or how things happened. It was about getting to know and love the characters. The characters are what the show was all about. At first, it was easy to judge each character but every single one ended up surprising me. I guess some viewers were too focused on the random things that happened on the island to notice the relationships between the characters developing. That is until one of them died, and you find yourself sad or even crying. Amazing show. Sad I finally got to the end.

Updated: July 1, 2012 11:36AM
New research highlights drugs to make cancer therapy easier but also underscores the difficulties that patients may encounter after treatment.
A commonly used schizophrenia drug, Zypraxa, reduced the number of patients suffering from chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting by more than half, according to a study of 80 patients presented in advance of the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
The study focused on patients getting a heavy, triple-drug chemo combination, during which vomiting and nausea are very common, even among patients getting
the best possible anti-nausea medications.
In the new study, led by Rudolph Navari of the Indiana University School of Medicine-South Bend, 68 percent of patients randomly assigned to be treated with a standard drug called Reglan, or metoclopramide, ended up vomiting, compared with 29 percent of those assigned to take Zypraxa, sold generically as olanzapine.
About 76 percent of those taking Reglan still became nauseated, compared with 33 percent of those taking Zypraxa, the study says. Patients took the drugs orally for three days, Navari says. While taking Zypraxa long-term can cause side effects, such as weight gain, doctors didn't note any major problems in patients taking this short dose, he says.
Nausea and vomiting are serious problems for many cancer patients, even causing some to stop taking their medications, says Sandra Swain, president-elect of ASCO. The group's annual meeting will take place June 1-4 in Chicago. For others, the side effects disrupt their lives and make it hard to work or take care of their families.
Swain says "this is a huge advance" that ranks alongside high-tech advances in drugs and so-called "targeted" therapies. "Even in this era of 'precision medicine,' we are still reminded that we need to improve the patient experience."
Chemotherapy causes nausea and vomiting in a different way than a stomach virus, says Andrew Putman, an assistant professor of oncology and medicine at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. Instead of upsetting the digestive tract, chemo activates the brain's "vomiting center," Putman says. That's why an antipsychotic drug such as Zypraxa, which works on the brain, is able to help. He's recently tried prescribing it to his patients, with good results.
Breast cancer survivor Renee Nicholas, 37, says the nausea that accompanied her therapy was debilitating. "I tried every anti-nausea drug available," she says. "I even tried acupuncture once or twice a week."
Another study presented last week, however, shows that doctors haven't made as much progress as they'd like.
Many primary care doctors — and even some oncologists — aren't informed about important health issues affecting cancer survivors, according to a study by Larissa Nekhlyudov of Harvard Medical School.
While cancer patients are typically seen by specialists during treatments, they often return to their family doctors or other generalists when they finish therapy, says Michael Link, ASCO's current president.
But finishing cancer therapy doesn't mean that patients are care-free, Link says. Cancer treatments can be highly toxic, saving lives at a punishing cost to the heart, bones and even the brain. Some therapies can push patients into early menopause, while others can cause new cancers.
Because patients are likely to be seen by their primary care doctors when these problems crop up, it's important that generalists know how to watch for these complications and monitor patients, Nekhlyudov says.
Her results show awareness
was low:
◆ Only 15 to 17 percent of primary care doctors knew that a common type of chemo, cyclophosphamide, sold under the brand name Cytoxan, can cause premature menopause and second cancers.
◆ About 22 percent of primary care doctors knew that another drug, oxaliplatin, also sold as Eloxatin, can cause nerve problems and pain in the fingers and other extremities.
◆ About 27 percent knew that the drug paclitaxel, or Taxol, can cause these nerve problems as well.
◆ And 55 percent knew that the drug doxorubicin, or Adriamycin, can damage the heart muscle.
Yet even oncologists were unaware of some side effects, correctly identifying these complications 62 percent to 97 percent of the time, the study shows.
The study illustrates why it's important for every cancer patient to receive a treatment summary and survivorship plan when finishing active therapy, Link says. Those documents can concisely inform future doctors about which drugs, surgeries or radiation therapies patients have undergone, and which screening tests or other care they need to stay healthy. The study also reinforces the need to expand the use of electronic medical records to make sharing this information easier.
Nicholas, who was 33 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, is thankful that her treatment went well but knows that she's at risk for future complications, such as heart problems related to her chemo and bone loss associated with another long-term breast cancer drug. And because she's so young, she has a long time ahead of her for problems to develop. Nicholas says she's grateful that her doctors monitor her so closely, checking her heart regularly and measuring her bone density once a year.
But overall, Nicholas says these are good problems to have, because they show she's survived a potentially lethal disease.
"This is really a problem created by our success," Link says. "There are now 12 million cancer survivors who are a testament to our success in cancer care."

Saturday 10 December 2011
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini believes January could be the pivotal month in his side's bid to win their first Barclays Premier League title.
City are clear at the top of the table as the busy festive season approaches, but Mancini believes it is the new year which could determine the destination of the championship.
Midfielder Yaya Toure will be absent for up to a month due to his involvement with the African Cup of Nations, and Mancini says if they can emerge from Janaury unscathed, the title could be heading to the Etihad Stadium.
"If we are top after January, I think the title will be difficult to lose"
- Roberto Mancini
"We are probably going to lose an important man for a month at a crucial moment," said the Italian."Yaya is an important player for us - we don't have any other players like him.
"I've said before that the next two months will be crucial. So if we do well in January, and are top after January, I think the title will be difficult to lose.
"We have done well so far, but the season is long. Now we have two difficult matches against Chelsea and Arsenal and it will be important to finish the season well.
"The Premier League is our priority, but we also have the FA Cup, the Carling Cup and the Europa League and I think we should be trying to win two trophies this season.
"If we are lucky and don't have a lot of injuries, we have a squad that can play and compete in every competition."
