I have been back in depression for a couple of weeks now, despite taking my medication with dosage increase. One important thing I have learned is to have moments alone in silence, not doing anything complicated.
My siblings thought they could take me out of my home environment (kids being stressors when they are naughty) and have me over at their place, not realising that being away from familiar grounds is stressful as well. I found that being with my siblings, I needed to join in their chatter, their activities, their routine. All these caused great amount of anxiety to be built up. So instead of getting more rest, I end up being more tired.

(h/t to friend of the blog Lisa Deeley Smith)
This is what happens after all the funerals, when the cameras leave and we've moved on to one Kardashian or another. This is what happens when nobody goes to jail. This is what happens when whatever fine is levied isn't sufficient to make whatever company iis involved bleed from the teeth and howl for mercy. This is what happens when power reasserts itself and the teachable moment fades.
Though investigations are ongoing, the State Fire Marshal's Office is undertaking voluntary inspections of other facilities that handle ammonium nitrate - the chemical responsible for the explosion. The Fire Marshal's Office has identified 153 facilities in the state that are believed to store ammonium nitrate. Since Texas doesn't have a state fire code, the fire marshal lacks the authority to conduct inspections if the company resists. Fire Marshal Chris Connealy said most facilities have welcomed him and that his office has already inspected 62 sites. Five facilities refused to be inspected, though he couldn't say why or which facilities they were.
Think about that for a moment. Texas, which we all can agree is a pretty big place, doesn't have a state fire code, probably because freedom!
Much of the hearing was dominated by Republican lawmakers worried about burdening fertilizer businesses with new requirements. Rep. Dan Flynn, R-Canton, said while he respected the victims of the West tragedy, the industry has been doing a "pretty good job of policing themselves" and voluntarily submitting reports. "If we're not careful we could get like the federal government and try to put diapers on cows," he said. Connealy stressed that his agency's inspections were strictly voluntary. "Bottom line, we're trying to prevent another West," he said. "Most businesses welcome us with open arms."
We don't want to burden Texas industries with apocryphal tales of federal regulatory overreach, which means that, occasionally, unregulated fertilizer factories will explode and nearly wipe out small towns. This is how you create a "business-friendly" environment.
However, an industry representative testified that some fertilizer companies were unsure how to comply with existing rules. Donnie Dippel, president of Texas Agricultural Industries Association, who testified at the hearing said the association has experienced a spike in calls from operators. Many of them weren't registered with federal Department of Homeland Security, and others hadn't filed required reports in years, or ever. Some, he said, didn't even own a computer.
Maybe there ought to be somebody in Texas who checks up on things like this. Just for the benefit of readers who may have joined us late, when the fertilizer plant blew in West it killed 15 people, injured more than 300 more, and caused $135 million in property damage. But the real problem, you see, is not to overreact in your attempt to make sure that it doesn't happen again.
Connealy suggested requiring facilities that store the chemical to have a fire inspection when the state chemist's office issues them a license to hold ammonium nitrate. Committee Chairman Joe Pickett, D-El Paso, said there may be a way to require more inspections without adding layers of oversight. "We're going to strike that balance," he said.
Chairman Joe, you will note, is a Democrat. In Texas, they have struck a bipartisan consensus on not overreacting to unregulated exploding fertilizer plants that kill 15 people. They have ended gridlock on this issue. A model for the nation!

If You Eat Pizza While Doing Crunches, You're Doing It Wrong [Video]

These are the 10 things that should be abolished at the gym. We can almost guarantee you'll agree with some of these things.
Who goes to the gym? I have to admit, I cannot answer with yes. In fact, my idea of exercise is walking to and from my car at a rapid rate of speed. Trust me, with man boobs like mine, I know I need to get in shape sooner rather than later.
We all know working out is good for our bodies — but did you know it's good for our emotions, too?
New research shows exercise may very well be an effective treatment for depression, especially among those with heart problems.
Free Beer, Hot Wings and Zane talked about an article on Gawker that bashes CrossFit. Everyone seemed to be pretty familiar with the new fitness phenomenon; Zane even said that he did it on a regular basis these days. But no one actually defended CrossFit against any of the attacks
We bet you didn't know that many Christians don't do yoga, because it's the work of the devil. Well don't sweat it, because there is finally an alternative for all you church goers.
Spring is here, and Summer is fast approaching which means it's time to get out of the gym, and into the great outdoors. Staying fit, and getting exercise can also be fun, and this local trail is a great way to do so.
You know how you have always been giving your buddy a hard time for going to those night time yoga classes? Well as it turns out, the joke was on you the whole time. Watch as these ladies give you a the hottest yoga lesson ever.
With the new year fast approaching you are probably going to make that resolution to get off the couch and get into shape. While the gym may be the way to go, the internet also has a variety of tips as well
So I finally went back to the gym this week after months of blowing it off. I had an excuse though, I didn't have car, so you can't yell at me. Anyway, we all know how daunting and torturous the gym can be, so I discovered a few tricks you can do to make the time so by faster, and to make the workout seem painless.
The hardest part about getting in shape or staying in shape is actually getting yourself to the gym or getting the motivation to do a workout at home. These tips, while not a substitute, are good ways to work your body out without having to do all that pesky exercise.

Ask Our Men: Why Do Men Magically Disappear?
After a very successful first post where our men weighed in about their turn-offs, our panel is back to advise on another mysterious boy behavior. There were a lot of good questions asked, but we could only choose one. Remember—if we didn't pick yours this go-round, submit it in the comments and we'll consider it for next time.
Our next question comes from from Noelle Landis:
"Um, why do you disappear with no fair warning? The Houdini act is NOT cool and I'm in my early 30s!!!"
Interesting that you refer to the Houdini "Disappearing" act! Houdini himself was not the subject of the "disappearing" act, but rather an elephant or some other object did the disappearing. Houdini was actually an escapologist getting out of things such as the Overboard Box, Suspended Straight Jacket, Being Buried Alive or a set of Handcuffs. You need to ask yourself: Is it that the men you date a few times "disappear" or are they "escaping"? Dating is tough. I went through my share of guys who would leave the evasive "It's not you, it's me" voicemail. I too found it frustrating. What I really needed to know was: what were they escaping from? What did I need to do differently? I mean, who wouldn't want an extremely hot, short, bald, animal-loving man who can cook? Alas, after lots of trying, I finally found someone who I loved…I set them free…and they came back…now I'm stuck with them!
-Mr. Love Boys Too SEE BIO NOW>
Why do we disappear? There are a couple of reasons:
1. I met someone else and at that point you have become insignificant in my life and I don't want to have a big dramatic fallout.
2. This was clearly more serious to you than it was to me and I'm taking it as casually as I can, and that means not calling when I lose interest.
3. I think you're a psycho and I want you to go away…fast.
4. I'm a chicken shit and simply not mature enough to have an "I don't want to see you anymore" conversation…so being the weenie that I am, I just fade away and hope you will go away quietly as well.
…You know the "it's not you, it's me" speech? Well most of the time, it's you. You read too much into the situation and don't go in with your eyes open. Nine out of 10 times your friends can tell that I'm the terminal bachelor and will never change, but they're too busy being supportive. That's like telling a bald guy that he only has a slightly receding hairline.
-Mr. Noncommittal SEE BIO NOW>
Guys disappear for all of the same reasons that a girl who gives her phone number at a bar doesn't return calls the next day. We just do it over a longer timeframe. At the beginning hooking up seems like a good idea, but after we've been in the relationship for a while (which might be around the moment it starts getting called "a relationship"), and the guy has gotten what he wanted (usually sex), the realization might set in that while hooking up was fun, he's not ready for a full-blown commitment. Not returning phone calls is just the passive aggressive wimp way of conveying all of those truths. That said, I often engage in the painful "this isn't working" conversation, but to be totally frank, it rarely works out better than "the Houdini," both for her and for me. Once it's over, it's time to move on, not to keep talking over what went wrong.
-Mr. Sensitive and Scientific SEE BIO NOW>
I sound like a Sex and the City episode, but if a guy disappears, he obviously isn't interested in you. It could be that he met somebody else, that he wasn't interested in the first place or just wanted a cute date to impress—but in the end, you're much better off with the guy disappearing. Get closer to a guy who cares.

I am in the middle of separating from my husband, and was saving up to move out on my own when I met a guy who I thought was pretty great. We really hit it off, went on one date. Had a great time, lots of talking laughing and a kiss to knock your socks off. Long story short, he had broken up with his ex a few months before, and still felt a bit shaky with stuff. So we decided to be friends. We talked near daily, but unfortunately never had time to go out again. After 2 months of this, I finally moved out on my own. Hoping that maybe we could get to know eachother better and maybe date eventually since we got along so well.
We had plans to go out together the week before my move, and he seemed very excited about them, up until 5 days before. He dropped off the face of the earth.
I literally thought he got killed, cause he wasnt answering my text, I only sent 2, 1 to plan our day together a bit better, and one to tell him obviously there was something wrong and I was sorry if I offended him in anyway, but that I would leave him alone. A week later, a duckfaced (6 years his junior) chick tags him in a facebook post about how they were going out for beers. This set huge bells off in my head, since I knew he was not drinking, and was on a vegan kick for the last few months to get healthier. Within 12 hours, she tagged him as in a relationship with her.
I sent a text to him, "well I guess I know why you aren't talking to me anymore. You could have just told me you were seeing someone else. I feel silly for even talking to you at all now. Oh well, no real harm done. Hope we can be friends still, good luck with everything"
I guess the party-life, easy sex and no baggage, lives with parents still was more appealing than a girl with integrity, honesty and a good outlook on life that doesnt include excessive alcoholism and was too scary a prospect for him.
I have a guy do this to me recently – for the last time. He kept telling me he loved me and even told my family he was going to marry me. Then one day he stopped calling and he stopped taking my calls. After a week, I just gave up on him. Then from not hearing from him in about a month, he told me he was sorry but he didn't mean to hurt me and he had to get his life together. Really? He must think I'm some type of fool. I hope whoever he was with he was happy, because he did me a favor by disappearing.
I find thie disappearing act completely disgusting, cowardly and extremely disrespectful. This has just happened to me for the first time in my life and it is hurtful beyond words. In my case there was no slow fade, no change in behavior. We were more than just dating for several months, he asked for a comittment early on and since we had such a strong connection I welcomed it. This man put me up on a pedastal, made me feel very secure and this is the last thing I ever expected from him. We never as much as had a disagreement, had a blast every time we were together and communicated every day since we met whether it was talking or texting. The last night we went out it was just like every other time, awesome. The only difference was that rather than me staying at his house I went home, he gave me some bs story which I believed at the time. He asked me to text as soon as I got home so he knew I made it safely. I did and no response. I figured he must have fallen asleep. The next day no text or call which was the first day ever of no contact. I actually began to worry that he never made it home the night before. So the following day I was legitimately worried, called him several times, left voicemails expressing how concerned I was that he was not ok. No reply. I noticed however that when I called it seemed like he was hitting ignore the last few times and putting me to his voicemail. So I sent him a text saying even if you dont want to talk to me for whatever reason can you plz just text and let me know youre ok?? Nothing!! Ater 3 days of no reply from him I called from a friends phone, a number he wouldnt recognize and he answered!! As soon as he heard my voice he said he was sleeping and he would call me back in an hour. I started questioning why he was ignoring me and if he got all my messages and he said he had to call me back then hung up. I never heard from him again. This was last week. Yesterday I checked his fb status, he got back together with his ex girlfriend ( they had been broken up for over a year and he spoke horribly of her). I NEVER saw it coming. Granted after all the bad things he had said about her he would have looked like a fool if he was honest and told me why he was ending things with me. But he could have at least ended it rather than having me worried and confused. A call or even a text saying just about anything is better than NOTHING. Lets face it, nobody enjoys having to hurt someone and end a relationship but its the right thing to do. This man always portayed himself as honest and genuine, loyal and true. He always said actions speak louder than words. Ironically he ended things with no words, just the actions of a total pussy.
Hi, everything is going well here and ofcourse every one is sharing information, that's really fine, keep up writing. bkgedbbbebef
Damn, ladies i've been in a similar situation too. Long story short i was in love with a man who from the jump took days and days to talk to me. alot of the times he had to get off the phone late night because his "grandmom" was calling him. he cancelled plans plenty of nights because of errands with "grandmom" and before when i used to go to his dorm, one time he pulled the "there's no girls allowed in the boys dorm" because he probably had another girl in there. man i tell you these men out here… that disappearing act is hard. but i realized i'm so much more than that and i've let him go. he's someone that's behind me and i'm glad i found the good in goodbye. it's been a month since he talked to me. so ladies, you think im going to answer that phone call or respond to that text whenever he does so? HELL NO!
Hey guys and gals, so glad I found this tread. I'm a woman in my early thirties, and had just started dating a guy I met online after healing over something long term. Apparently he had been single for nearly a year after his long term, so I figured we were in the same boat. Right of the bat, he was telling me how crazy he was about me. By date three, he said he wanted to be my boyfriend and even used the word "love" a couple of times (though I wasn't sure how literally he meant that). I was flattered and really attracted to him, so I probably ignored the overly eager red flag more than I should of. I did however, tell him that I wanted to take things slow and get to know each other before getting to serious – that's healthy and normal, right? Well, he started getting flaky and cancelled a couple of dates. By the third I got ticked off and said he wasn't respecting my time and that his actions didn't match his loving words. Well, that was it – I haven't heard from him since. Not an explanation, not even a goodbye. It's too soon for me to be heartbroken, I'm more just confused and ticked off. So why.. why does a seemingly normal, smitten guy pull something like this?
I went through the same exact thing. He wanted to move to my city. Said he loved me etc. Then all of a sudden he was busy all the time. I asked him about it and he said it was work of course. But he was breaking his neck to get my calls before. Then he said stop thinking so negatively. Then never heard from him again.
Sex, Ella. I wish you could read your post with the eyes of a person who's not emotionally involved in this like you are. To me, it is really obvious: A guy takes things really fast, gets flaky as soon as you tell him you want to take things slowly and then disappears. He tested you by being extremely charming and saying things any woman would like to hear. As soon as he realised that you're not a girl for a night or two, he takes off. I am really sorry! Keep your head up and keep looking, no good hearted woman deserves such a guy. Fingers crossed for you!
So, I'm not making that up after all. Men do disappear on women. That happened to me just recently. He disappeared on me for over 5 months last year, came back into my life for another 2 months, and now he went MIA on me again since last mid-January. I sent him a message on FB, nothing. Sent him a message on his phone, nothing. He's been silent for 2 months now and still nothing, not even a fuck you leave me alone, nothing! WTF is wrong with men??? I know I didn't say or do anything wrong or hurtful. He is 33 years old and single, and likes to be left alone watching cartoons on his brand new laptop. He also has pets to keep him company, so it's not like he needs a woman in his life or something. He told me a while back that women always leave him. Now I know why. I'm tired of being the nice one always initiating contact with him. It's time for me to move on, and away from him while I still have a little bit of dignity left in me.
My guess is that some of these guys want to test the waters. Unfortunately, they are on the fence with whether or not they want you or someone else. Then, after weeks months or maybe even years, they decide they really are still in love with someone else. But, because they fail to tell you about this someone else, they just bail on you without handling it like a man and communicating what's going on. Believe me, I know. I was that girl, only I was on the other side. He disappeared, realized the grass wasn't greener and came back. Three months later we got married, and we have been for 11 years:-)
a problem: he is my sponsor in a project, and his disappearing is led to break down!!!
This happened to me for the second time recently. We were engaged for several months. He was deployed for the 4th time 3 weeks ago and I haven't heard from him since. I expected that there wouldn't be much communication but then I discovered his facebook page was missing. I thought he deleted it so I got upset that he'd had internet access and didn't bother to respond to my e-mails. I found out today that he didn't delete his profile, he deleted me and blocked me. Why ask someone to marry you and spend months planning a future with them, and then disappear like that? I can't understand it. :'(
I'm sorry Emily! I've had a guy pull the sudden disappearing act (coward) but I was not engaged to him. I don't know why they do it.
sorry bu all I hear about how are guys who get played and want a relationship. these same men meet women like me..educated gorgeous and kind and abuse us. and are chasing crazy weird women. men love psychos!
guysrscum: SOOOOOOOO true! the ho's are getting wifed up while here I am…I am beginning to think you are right and they love psychos!
lol are you joking me? what its as if the GUY is perfect and the girl has issues and is apsycho and he has to disappear..sorry but guys who disappear are scum and crap..not worth the girls time in the first place. Guys call me psycho left and right for no reason. im kind caring nice beautiful….men in fact do not like great and perfect women..they cater to psychos and abuse nice women. im very pretty and men seem to be bothered by this..no matter how kind nice I am during a date…many will bail. The odd thing is…I will accept any of them..even if they are ugly weird rude. This makes no sense to me. Why is it that a perfect and beautiful woman will put up with any guy, but if she smiles the wrong way the guy leaves. Also the guys on dates will be rude ot me– stand offish mean sometimes. I'm the one talking and being charming and nice. And still they try to bail. Most of the time they sit there staring at me silent…as if its my duty to talk and cater to them. Men are despicable seriously.. I think there is more sexism today than in the 40′s… oh yeah and if a girl sleeps with a guy on a first date its "bad" but the guy can sleep with anyone anytime? double standard NONSENSE. Men are worthless these days…the world caters to them and they can do what they want and and arrogant snots and women are the ones being told its them. the fact that a guy DISAPPEARS so fast and has no morals or decency are a testament that he has serious issues….most of them do. However, its like the world caters to men or something. society caters to them. for every man there are 100 desperate women. For every woman, there is a crazy psycho male trying to use her and abuse her and move on. yes ther are flaky women too and psychos but we're talking about the men here and in 15 years of 'dating' I cant even find a boyfriend and someone even willing to be in a relationship. just shady weird jerks….
Yes I agree, they pull a Houdini on you, and you have no clue. They leave you hanging, there was no problem at least none that I could see. So you text, no answer, you phone and leave a message. All of a sudden it dawns on you that he is truly MIA. Then he takes himself off the dating side, then off messenger and to top it off he defriends you! Really what on earth provoked that? So all this was to make me feel like now I am stalking you! How am I suppose to know that it is over for you, before I start to make a fool out of myself! So I stop and do No contact. But, it hurts because I thought he was real. Maybe he wasn't and he got caught.
If you don't communicate with your guy expect us too disappear. Not replying to emails phone calls and text messages is a no no. It is OK to miss a few but if I'm doing all the talking and she nenever spontaneously call or text don't be surprised if we leave. I once called a girlfriend on a Saturday night. I called her from Toronto. She was in New York. I wanted to tell her ho much I enjoyed the trip. A guy answered her cell phone. I asked for her he was very rude and hung up. I called again hoping I called a wrong number. The line was busy. Don't even think of playing games with the phone email or text. It is the kiss of death. BTW I wanted a relationship. I just hang out with young people I don't date anymore. The stress is yoo mucch
That was not it on my part, we talked daily about everything for hours. If there was no communication it was all on him. Some people think he was really married or found someone closer to him.
I thought females did this? Probably not as much.
I am a female and I do this with people I know (not just relationship). Unfortunately, it's almost an instinct for me. When I stop talking to someone and just "disappear", it's because I don't get along, not interested, or because the friend has busy things in their life and I don't want to interfere.
I only had one relationship in my short life and the person broke it off with me. They wanted to be friends and still talk, but I said they weren't right for me and completely disappeared, ignoring everything.
Some people just have the lone perk. I can understand most females don't have this because they are the sociable gender with less tendencies to being a lone person. But don't blame people for disappearing … a few have the "don't look back" mentality… and that's fine. Very fine.
ughh this happened to me except that we were in a relationship for over a year and he just stopped talking to me one day
You may have said something that scared him off. Not picking up, not returning calls or emails is asking for disaster.
Pandora Spocks:
Dave, I've been in the same situation, a guy did that to me once, came back, and now he went MIA on me again. I didn't say anything rude or hurtful. Let's face it, most guys will pull the "disappearing" act on a woman because it's easy, he doesn't have to give you an explanation and he can always come back with a lame excuse. When a guy does that, ladies, just run. Run as far and as fast as you can away from him. He will do it again and again. I think that guys who do that are selfish, insecure and rude. That is so friggin rude!!! Give at least an explanation on why you took off the way you did so we can move on with our love life.
Or maybe the guy is an idiot and got scared for no reason? And you seem to think that it's girls not picking up or returning phonecalls….maybe it's the guy who isn't returning or making them.
Almost every woman has experienced this and sorry guys but it is so very unmanly. We may examine ourselves initially but at the end of the day, we determine you were the low hanging fruit and we move on to something great.
My advice to the men is to be honest from the onset, not after you've slept with the girl. Ladies, keep your clothes on as long as you can because there is just so much low hanging fruit out there.
I'm sick of the bastard excuses for this behaviour along with books blaming women for their part in it. If I hear "he's just not that into you" one more time, I'm going to scream. Get over yourselves men and man up. Tell the truth if it ain't there for you, period, end of sentence, full stop. Women hang around because of ambiguity not the truth. Stop making women out to be psycho stalkers because you are wishy washy.
Many women want to be courted and pursued but their men can't even change a light bulb. Women are always bending and contorting themselves to acheive some unrealistic expectations. Why don't you guys pick up a book or old movie and look at some real men from the past.
My father was an intelligent, articulate many who could also construct and wire a house. So many guys with their hit and run behaviour these days disgust me. Grow up and grow a pair!
janice, thats the best answer ever…!!so true!i had something wrong in my stomach whenever i heard the he s not that into u quote….no!!!its not that…!!!it s just that they re so fucking cowards…and that s it!full stop!!!as simple as that…i want a real man…not a fake one…because i m a real woman and i deserve it damn it!
True, if he's not that into you then why hang around for 18 months, text or call everyday lots of love you etc. then one day nothing? Now been 3 weeks of nothing and I ahve tried to send a few texts but nothing.
Very well said, Janice! And I agree. The overused and oh so tiresome "he's just not that into to you" is merely an excuse for behaving like an immature jerk.
Amen! Janice,
It is always our fault or that we said something wrong! What are we not supposed to breath or blink really. This has happen to me recently the case of the disappearing man, after I asked him did he want to be in a relationship with me.
Men are selfish and only care about their wants and needs. The whole stage of maturing is men recognizing that other people matter more than them sometimes. Unfortunately, many never get to this stage. Even some married ones. Internet dating has exascerbated this problem even more and now boring,wimpy men can post a profile and suddenly they're kings in the dating arena thinking they can date a 9ft. model or Kim Kardashian look alike. Adding false pride/ego to selfishness is a very dangerous combination. No, I'm not bitter. I just realize that men really do mature differently and at a later stage than women.
I just realized after reading some of the other comments, then many of us believe men do play mind games. I have certainly had my share of them, but mainly from men I considered personality disordered. Sometimes it is hard to tell. How do you know they are playing games? Is it more of a hunch you get? I am getting this hunch from a man I wouldn't mind sleeping with again but he was not that great for me for anything long term and it's probably best I stay away. Now I feel he is doing the hot and cold thing and wondering if it's to get a rise out of me. He knows it bothered me before. Anyway, what I am learning is to no longer let them see me sweat. And I love the advice of hold back a little more with these guys than they do you – especially if you get the vibe some sort of testing period or game is going on.
What about the guy who you have had sort of a thing with and you are both attracted to one another but some things came up and it kind of took a break, then he comes back around asking about seeing a movie together and then never follows up? I guess any other things could have happened, but wondering if some men do this passive aggressively as well because you took a step a back or he is afraid of rejection possibly? Or maybe just thought better of it and decided not to go there again, or met someone else. Who knows. I answered my own question probably. LOL. It's just whatever at this point, but I found this odd.
Something similar for me! I had just went through a divorce and 7 mons later I am getting a Facebook msg from someone in my past! We reconnected after 31 years. He found me!! We started texting and within a few days he was telling me he loved me!i flew up to where he lived and we really got along! Three weeks later he bought me a ring! And wanted to get married this June. But my marriage was horrible and I needed sometime. I said yes but not till June 2014! He didn't like that answer! His text started coming less! Even though I was getting a daily "I Love You Baby" on Mar 4th I recieve an "Love You" text and never here him from him again!! Yes, I am broken hearted!! I was/still in Love!!!!

Protonex Technology Corporation (LSE: AIM: PTX and PTXU), a provider of advanced fuel cell power systems for portable, remote and mobile applications, announced that it has received a $598,813 contract with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) for advanced development of high power fuel cell systems for small unmanned air vehicles (UAVs). This new program builds upon Protonex' portfolio of UAV power system initiatives.
Development work under this program will focus on increasing the power density of the company's Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) UAV fuel cell system while simultaneously scaling up the power output of the system. Ultimately, the advanced system will be integrated into a small NRL plane. The resulting hydrogen fuel cell system is anticipated to provide up to 1.5 kW of power output (approximately equivalent to a 2hp engine) and double the existing system's gravimetric power density. The increase in power will provide additional capability to the UAV platform including improving climbing, maneuverability, dash speed, as well as additional payload capability.
Protonex' fuel cell power systems for small UAVs offer significant benefits over existing technologies including lower heat and noise signature compared to internal combustion engines while providing up to five times the energy density over today's advanced batteries. These advantages enable a wide range of military applications and provide an opportunity to broaden mission capabilities for small UAVs.
"We are very fortunate to have the continued support and interest from the NRL and the Office of Naval Research," commented Dr. Paul Osenar, Chief Technology Officer, Protonex. "The team is excited to have this opportunity to continue to optimize our core technology by increasing the net power of our fuel cell system while significantly improving the overall functionality of small UAVs."

Your Laid-Off Workers Hate You -- And It Has Nothing To Do With Being Let Go
By Val Matta
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (TheStreet) -- If you've ever faced the tough job of letting someone go, you know it's not the easiest mountain to climb. The latest numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate there were 4.5 million total separations for the month of January -- which includes quits, layoffs, discharges and other separations. No matter your situation, there's no way you won't be seen as the the bad guy. But life happens; sometimes you have to play the villain to keep your business afloat.
Here's a little secret for you, though: Your employee's disdain for you has nothing to do with being fired or laid off. It has to do with what happens next.
While letting an employee go is like a tightrope walk, the effects of a termination can be more detrimental than the dismissal itself -- and a lot of it has to do with cutting off communication after the pink slip is given. Here's why:No specifics If you have to let an employee go, keeping them in the dark about the dismissal is pretty shady. Your former workers have a right to know whether the termination was their fault. Failing to give details about a firing puts you in a bad light and can cause a real strain. 35 weeks. If you were in their shoes, you'd want to start the job hunt as soon as possible. Failing to give displaced workers at least a little leeway time is a disservice and makes you look like you only have your agenda in mind. Solve this: Whether you know months, weeks, or days in advance, let your workers know about a layoff as soon as possible. In addition, keep them in the know about transfer options or open positions so they can quickly move to a new opportunity. outplacement services come in. If you don't offer outplacement tools, you may come off as unappreciative or unwilling to aid workers who've done so much for you in the past. Solve this: Pick an outplacement service with tools workers will actually use. This is particularly important since 40% of displaced workers don't actually take advantage of outplacement services, even though they are highly effective. How you behave after a termination is an important aspect of the dismissal process. Displaced workers can be incredibly bitter and may go to great lengths to give you a bad name. Save yourself the brand disaster and move through the process with open communication, ensuring a smooth transition for everyone. What do you think? What are some other things to do after firing an employee?

What Motivates You?
To be an Ocean Hero, you have to have a strong commitment to your work—so what keeps our finalists going when the going gets tough?
The voting is open for our 2012 Ocean Heroes Awards, but if you're having a hard time deciding who your favorite finalist is, here's a chance to get to know them better.
Each of our finalists has their own unique story about just what it is that motivates them to protect the world's oceans. Here's what they told us keeps them working hard to achieve their goals:
Michele Hunter Sometimes it's witnessing the small steps a critical patient will take because of the dutiful care and treatment we provide to our patients. Knowing that all those hours of care made a difference. Being able to stand on the beach with your team and release an animal that you helped save is motivation enough!
Hardy Jones Frankly, what motivates me is the undeniable need for reform of the way we view and deal with the oceans. There is real danger of a collapse of the ocean ecosystem. Other motivation comes from direct contact with the magnificence of the ocean realm. Finally, I am motivated by the knowledge that I can make a difference if I put out the energy and intention to accomplish important goals.
Kristofor Lofgren I want to live in a healthy and beautiful world. I also want to do all I can to share that wonderful world with others. I am motived each and every day to help make the world a better place for everyone I never meet, simply because it is the right thing to do. We all breathe the same air, drink the same water, and share the same earth. I choose each day to bring passion to simple, good work...and that is enough.
Dave Rauschkolb The unapologetic grip the dirty fuel and nuclear industries have on our world, and seeing that clean energy and renewables are beginning to break that grip.
Rick Steiner I'm motivated by knowing the desperate state of the oceans, seeing my favorite seas and coasts lost to human ignorance and greed, and facilitating the successes I've been involved with. There is simply no other option but to ramp up the science-based advocacy for ocean protection -- and that is a powerful motivator. It is urgent to act, not just talk about the problem. Knowing we can, and must, succeed.
Don Voss I am motivated by the thousands of kids I talk to each year who are interested and react to this project. I help at least 25 new divers a year get started and into this sport and debris collection. I am motivated by the progress in removal and changes in water quality we are finding just this year. I am motivated when others notice what we do and want to participate and/or learn more. I am motivated when we continue to release thousands of snagged and trapped aquatic animals. I am spiritually motivated when I visit our Turtle rescue hospital and visit the critters we have sent there. Turtles are awesome and send me home an activist.
Sara Brenes I am so passionate about my belief and my drive to make a difference. I feel like I breathe, eat, sleep, and dream about sharks and our oceans. I think it is just hard wired in to me to not give up and to fight and fight and fight and reach another person and another person and another one. Just don't stop!
The Calvineers The North Atlantic right whale is the most endangered large whale in the world. Their population has grown little in the last thirty years (from about 300 to about 450), way below the estimated 2-3,000 needed for recovery. Until the whales recover, the Calvineers will keep up their work of educating the public.
Sam Harris I do it for the sharks. I love them.
James Hemphill My love of the ocean keeps me going. This is a problem that will not go away. As long as there is a large human population, there will be conflicts with the environment that need solutions. I want to be a part of those solutions. I have a stubborn determination to see cleaner oceans. This is where I play, swim, surf, fish, and kayak. I want my children to experience the same beautiful environment that I have.
Teakahla WhiteCloud Knowing that I am saving hatchlings so that the ocean will continue to live so that I will have a future to live.
Don't forget to visit oceana.org/heroes and vote for your favorite adult and junior finalists. There's less than a week until the voting period is over!

One Step Closer to a Fin-Free New York
New York state is the largest importer of shark fins on the East Coast, but if a new bill passes, this fact could be history.
This trade is driven by a demand for shark fin soup, which can sell for hundreds of dollars. Sadly, shark numbers are dropping worldwide due to relentless fishing for fins, and in many places sharks have their fins cut off while still alive (a cruel practice called "finning"). Finning is illegal in the United States, but the demand for fins in New York and elsewhere in the US add to the pressure. Imported fins can come from countries with less regulations, and many shark populations in the US are dropping dangerously low, with some hammerhead populations falling as much as 98%.
But New York is considering a bill that would ban the trade of shark fins within the state, and we're so excited to announce that it's moving forward! After a huge push by Oceana and other shark supporters, which included thousands of your signatures and personal pleas from Leonardo DiCaprio and January Jones, both the Senate and Assembly committees passed the bill. Now it's up for a vote in the Assembly and Senate. But the New York legislation session ends this week, which means they have to act soon.
We're still gathering signatures to send to New York legislatures. Please sign today and pass the petition along to your friends. The world's sharks need you.
The Shark Finatics are Back
Editor's note: With two days until the launch of the 2012 Ocean Heroes Awards, we have a guest post today from Robin Culler – one of the founders of the Shark Finatics (Junior Award winners, 2010) from the Green Chimneys School in Brewster, NY.
Hello Oceana, it's been two years since the Shark Finatics were honored to be named Junior Ocean Heroes and now we're busier than ever. In the past few months, the Finatics have been involved in a few projects:
- When we heard that two sisters had opened a restaurant in Brooklyn and were serving shark burgers, the kids got fired up. They all wrote letters and drew pictures, pleading them to stop and keep the sharks in the oceans. One boy, totally on his own, got his mom to take him to the restaurant so that he could have a heart-to-heart conversation with one of the sisters! I was thrilled!
- I took the kids to the aquarium the other month to see the Sand Tigers there. It was really fun as some kids had never even been to an aquarium before. They loved it! One of the reasons we went was that we were invited to submit a project for an art exhibit in White Plains, NY. It is on the fish around Westchester, in the Hudson and the Long Island Sound. Since the Sand Tiger is in the Sound, we created a wonderful portfolio on all aspects of this shark (her name is Shirowani), including text and pictures. We also created a wonderful shark from soda bottles, foil, cardboard, and lots of duct tape and it will all be on display to the public all summer long.
- I just recently held two workshops at a large conference for educators on the Finatics program. It was so cool having everyone hanging on every word, hearing about how we got started and how we grew. It really is a wonderful story.
As you can tell, we are never without projects to work on! We next have to concentrate, big time, on the shark fin bill in NY. We will be writing letters, getting a petition together, making phone calls, and maybe a trip to legislator offices.
So, long story short, we are thrilled to be staying busy and look forward to seeing who will be the next Ocean Heroes in 2012.
Take care,

Tuna Still Feeling the Effects of Fukushima
It might seem straight out of science fiction, but this story is real – radioactive tuna could be swimming in an ocean near you.
A new study found that after last spring's Fukushima nuclear accident, Pacific Bluefin tuna caught off of San Diego appear to have been contaminated by radioactive materials from last spring's nuclear accident in Japan.
The March 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami led to the meltdown of the Fukushima nuclear plant in central Japan. Even now, the only way to enter the zone 20 kilometers around the plant is with special government permission. After the accident, tests showed that concentrations of radioactive Cesium in coastal waters increased up to 10,000-fold.
This study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found the same radioactive Cesium in 15 Bluefin tuna specimens caught outside of San Diego. The fish tested showed a 10-fold increase from normal Cesium concentrations, well below the safety limit established by Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishes.
Bluefin are a highly migratory species – they spawn in the West Pacific near Japan, then, once they have matured, may travel more than 9,000 miles to the East Pacific and the California coast. They're such strong swimmers that the trip only takes a few months.
During the course of this trip, the radioactive concentration fell as the fish grew and the Cesium decayed. If they had tested tuna from Japan, the radiation would be expected to be up to 15 times more concentrated, according to Daniel Madigan, Zofia Baumann, and Nicholas Fisher, the co-authors of the study.
Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch already lists bluefin as a species to avoid due to severe overfishing and high mercury levels. They're highly valued as sushi fish, which has led to a steep decline in their populations in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Bluefin tuna are slow to mature, and are often caught before they have a chance to reproduce. Oceana is currently working to protect bluefin tuna from overfishing.

Could a Shark Live in a Lake?
Last year's horror flick, Shark Night 3D, tells the tale of a group of college friends who are attacked by sharks while vacationing near a lake. While the premise of the movies is that evildoers intentionally put sharks in the lake to make money, it made me wonder whether a shark could ever actually make its way inland to a lake.
First of all, the lake would need to be somehow connected to the ocean via a river or other body of water deep and wide enough to accommodate the large animal as it travels upstream. Secondly, most sharks can only tolerate saltwater, or at the very minimum, brackish water, so freshwater rivers and lakes are generally out of the question for species such as great white sharks, tiger sharks, and hammerhead sharks.
Bull sharks are the exception to this rule – they can tolerate brackish and even freshwater conditions because of their advanced ability to osmoregulate, or maintain a constant concentration of water in their bodies despite changing salinity levels in the water. This species is known to travel 60 miles upstream in warm rivers like the Mississippi and the Amazon.
North Carolina's Neuse River has long been thought to harbor bull sharks, and Duke University graduate student Meagan Dunphy-Daly has proven it by tagging several of them there this summer. On one of her research trips, she encountered a 2.5 meter male bull shark swimming in water with a salinity of only 21 ppt (seawater is usually around 35 ppt). Why would a bull shark journey up the Neuse River? Perhaps in pursuit of the dolphins also swimming there, or maybe because the river provides a good nursery area for their pups.
Other than the bull shark, there are at least five species of "river sharks" in the genus Glyphis which have been observed in freshwater rivers in South and Southeast Asia and Australia, but they are extremely rare due to habitat degradation and little is known about them. These are the only purely freshwater sharks that have been discovered.
So, although it seems unlikely that you will ever encounter a shark in a freshwater lake, you might want to keep an eye out next time you're on a river.

Shark Fin Soup Minus the Sharks
Every year, tens of millions of sharks are killed for their fins alone. Shark fins are used to make shark fin soup, a popular and expensive dish that is a symbol of wealth and status primarily in Asian cultures.
The demand for fins can lead to cruel and wasteful practices, such as cutting off a shark's fins at sea and then throwing the rest of the shark, sometimes still alive, back into the water. And shark fin soup can be dangerous to humans. Since sharks are at the top of the food chain, they accumulate toxins like mercury, which is a dangerous neurotoxin.
So are there any alternatives to shark fin soup? Shark fins themselves have no taste and are used only for texture. In traditional shark fin soup recipes, chicken or fish stock is added to give the soup flavor which means that there are a lot of ways to enjoy shark fin soup without using shark fins – like this recipe from the Monterey Bay Aquarium:

What's Scarier Than a Shark? Lots of Things.
If you think that sharks are the scariest creatures in the sea, this post may surprise you.
As we've discussed in the past, the majority of shark attacks are caused by only three species (white, tiger, and bull), yet there are more than 500 species that swim the world's oceans. So next time you're swimming in the sea, you may want to keep an eye out for these other, seemingly harmless ocean-dwellers as well.
Did you know that there are over 1,200 species of venomous fish on Earth? They vary in the level of harm they can cause to a human who comes into contact with them, but the stonefish is the deadliest of them all. This fish is found in reef habitats in the Indo-Pacific region, and is called a stonefish because it is able to camouflage itself perfectly among the corals, where it lies in wait for an unsuspecting passing fish. Stonefish have 13 venomous spines that, if stepped on by a human, could be deadly.
There are other marine animals besides fish that can be dangerous as well. The sea wasp, also known as the box jellyfish, is one of the most dangerous jellies, and can be found in the Pacific Ocean around Hawaii, the Philippines, and Australia. Their tentacles can grow up to 10 feet long, and each one has about half a million stinging cells!
Sea wasps use their stinging tentacles to paralyze fish prey, but if they make contact with a human, they can cause paralysis and even death in a matter of minutes. Surprisingly, even a dead sea wasp washed up on a beach can be harmful, because their cells are still able to sting. If you are ever stung by a sea wasp, pour vinegar on the affected area to lessen the effects of the venom.
And remember, terrestrial animals can be just as dangerous as marine ones. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and International Shark Attack File reported that between 2003 and 2008, 108 people in the U.S. were killed by cows. That is 27 times higher than the four people killed by sharks during the same period, according to the International Shark Attack File.
This blog post is not meant to scare you from ever going outside again, but rather to draw attention to the fact that there are other potentially dangerous animals in the ocean (and on land), but that sharks always get a bad rap in the media ever since the movie Jaws.
What do you think is scarier than a shark? Tell us in the comments.
Maryland Introduces Shark Fin Trade Ban
The West Coast shark fin trade bans we celebrated last year may be catching on here on the East Coast.
Maryland lawmakers introduced bills Tuesday in both the House and Senate that would outlaw the sale, trade, distribution or possession of shark fins, with violations punishable by fines ranging from $5,000 to $50,000.
As Oceana's Campaign Director Beth Lowell told the Baltimore Sun's Green blog, there's been no dried shark fin shipped into or out of the port of Baltimore, but U.S. Customs data show exports of shark products, mainly dogfish, exported from Washington and Norfolk.
Each year, tens of millions of sharks are killed for their fins, mostly to make shark fin soup. In this wasteful and cruel practice, a shark's fins are sliced off while at sea and the remainder of the animal is thrown back into the water to die. Without fins, sharks bleed to death, drown, or are eaten by other species.
Shark finning is illegal in the U.S., but fins are imported from countries with weak or nonexistent protections. In recent decades some shark populations have declined by as much as 99%.
We'll be keeping a close eye on this legislation and we'll be sure to keep you posted!

Marine Monday: Tasseled Wobbegong
Some sharks are fearsome predators, all sharp teeth and angular fins. These are the sharks that inspire epic monster movies and give the word "shark" its fearsome connotations.
And then there are sharks that look like a pile of seaweed. The tasseled wobbegong is a flat reef-dwelling shark with leafy tentacles and a name that's just as ridiculous as its appearance.
But appearances can be deceiving. The tasseled wobbegong settles down on a rock or reef, blending in perfectly with the sand and seaweed. When a tasty fish swims by, the shark comes to life, opening its jaws full of sharp, respectable teeth and snapping the poor swimmer up. Its tasseled face may look rather silly, but this shark is just as efficient a predator as its more fearsome brethren.
Sadly, we don't know much about the tasseled wobbegong, but we do know that this sneaky hunter is in trouble thanks to overfishing and the destruction of the reefs it depends on.
Oceana is committed to protecting the habitats of tasseled wobbegongs and all the other strange and mysterious creatures of the deep.

Ocean Victories of 2011: Thank You!
Andy Sharpless is the CEO of Oceana.
As we enter the last weeks of 2011, I'd like to thank you again for your support this year. Even as we continue to face global economic insecurity, your support has made it possible for Oceana to win important victories for the oceans.
Here are just a few of the victories you helped us achieve in 2011:
- Passing the Shark Conservation Act, which ended shark finning in the U.S.
- Banning the trade, possession and sale of shark fins in California, Washington and Oregon.
- Protecting Belize's stunning coral reef system with a total ban on all trawling.
- Saving Chile's endangered Humboldt penguins and blue whales by preventing the construction of a coal-fired power plant near a marine reserve.
- Ensuring that Chile's commitment to clean up its farmed salmon industry has succeeded.
This is a special year for Oceana, because it's also our 10th anniversary year. In 2001, our founders decided that the world needed a conservation organization that could win real policy changes for the oceans on an international scale.
Since then, Oceana has expanded to six countries, garnered more than half a million supporters and protected 1.2 million square miles of ocean, including innumerable sea turtles, sharks, dolphins and the people who depend upon and enjoy the oceans. Our founders are pleased with the results, and we hope you are as well.
We continue to have ambitious goals, not just for 2012, but the next decade. I hope you'll continue to join us for the ride. Thank you again.

Visit of Governor M. Chovanec in PRC has opened new possibilities to the Pilsen Region
12.06.2013 / 11:41
From 6th to 11th June 2013, Governor of the Pilsen Region Mr. M. Chovanec visited the People's Republic of China. Accompanied by the Czech Ambassador in China, Mr. L. Sečka, and together with the delegation, composed especially of the leading representatives of the Czech-Chinese Chamber of Mutual Cooperation,Mr. J. Tvrdík, the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. P. Kužel, and other prominent representatives of the region and its business community came to the partner province Zhejiang.
In the capital, Hangzhou, which belongs to the pearls of Chinese architecture, Mr. Chovanec met with the incumbent mayor, Ms. Tong Guili. In Ningbo, which is important among others because there is the Chinese second largest seaport, he attended the Investment and Trade Symposium and traditional fair of consumer goods. During this period, he met with the President of the Association of Friendship and former Minister of Foreign Trade, Mr. Chen Deming. Together they discussed the possibility to make a significant Chinese investment into the construction of industrial and technological park in the Czech Republic, specifically in the Pilsen region. Governor M. Chovanec explained in detail to Chinese partner the real conditions and benefits for directing such investments in the region.
The most important part of the agenda was meeting of Governor of the Pilsen Region M. Chovanec with his partner, Governor of Zhejiang Province, Mr. Li Qiang. Both politicians agreed that the regions can cooperate successfully in many areas. Comprehensive constructive discussion resulted in the common conclusion that the representatives of the two top regional officials will prepare the concrete cooperation plan in three main directions: a) trade, investment and tourism, b) culture and education, c) new technologies and cooperation in health care. With reference to the twelve cooperation program of China and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, presented by former Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao last year in Warsaw, Governor M. Chovanec stressed that the Pilsen Region and Zhejiang provinces could in the future become a model for efficient use of the potential of regional cooperation. Governor M. Chovanec invited his Chinese partner to visit Pilsen Region. The invitation was accepted with satisfaction. Worth mentioning that this was the first direct meeting of Czech and Chinese top regional politicians in the last three years.
The last stop on the Governor's trip was the visit of Governor of the city Suzhou, the significant technological and industrial center in the province of Jiangsu. The main objective was to support the business activities of Škoda Electric, that set up with Chinese partner the joint venture Škoda - Kingway (SKE), producing traction units for metro trains. Governor's meeting with the Deputy Governor for Economy, Mr. Zhou, confirmed the strong interest of both parties in the successful development of the company and its activities not only within the city and the province, but also in the whole China.

Perhaps I do need to shave it off, got sort of a job just now and I have to make a good first impression.

In her home in Rancho Santa Margarita, Miller offers me coffee and glides into the kitchen on her regular wheelchair, powered by her legs and arms. Soon, she emerges with a steaming mug of coffee and hands it to me. She also gets around on her own, driving, shopping and, yes, hiking on her battery-powered cherry-red wheelchair.
Just as she was losing hope to become a teacher, James Fleming, then-superintendent of Capistrano Unified School District, called. He'd heard about her struggle and guaranteed she'd have an equal chance – nothing more, nothing less.
For the next six years, Miller served as a Capo elementary school teacher.
Along the way, Miller started attending Vineyard Community Church, a fast-growing evangelical Christian movement known for its relaxed style, missions to help the poor and belief in physical healing.
She helped plant a church in Laguna Niguel and more than once after prayer sessions has opened her eyes and looked at her tiny legs in surprise.
Her legs were still different lengths; her hip still broken; her pelvis in the wrong place.
"I thought I was going to be healed," Miller admits, laughing at her conviction. "I was mad at God. I went home and wept. I asked God, 'Why not heal me?'"
But soon, Miller again felt what she believes is God's love and made one of the toughest decisions of her life.
With the salary and benefits of a public school teacher, Miller resigned to serve as the children's pastor at Vineyard church.
I stare, aware of what she gave up.
Miller dismisses my incredulity with another laugh. "I followed my passion," she offers. "God fills my heart."
Later, I look up something in the Bible that Miller mentioned, Psalm 34. My eyes fall on a promise: "He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken."
It's been 30 years since Miller broke a bone.

Top Local Tips for Mount Abu
Trip to Mount Abu It was a long due trip to Mount Abu. I thought of visiting to this place in the mid of 2007 but finally managed to visit it in November 2008. I started my journey in the early morning hours from Vadodara. I arrived at 5 to 10 minutes late at the main bus stand from where I had to catch the direct bus to Mount Abu at 6:00 AM, but I missed it fortunately!! Fortunately because, I got another bus that was going to Ambaji, which is just 45 minutes before Mount Abu. So it gave me chance to visit Ambaji temple also :-). I spent some 2 hours and then left for Mount Abu in the next bus at 4:00 PM and finally arrived at base in Mount Abu. There one hotel agent received me and asked me if I am looking for some hotel. I said yes, I am looking for a single room at a reasonable price. So he guided me to first book the tour bus ticket, which is a govt. tourist bus from the same station itself where I arrived. I booked the ticket there. I then stayed for one night at DharamJi Palace hotel Rs 300.

Just wondering but what Distro are you running. I think you said Gentoo at one point. Make sure you have your AGP chipset driver complied into your kernel. Had a problem recently after a reinstall and I couldn't figure out why then I realized I never complied support for my agp chipset into my kernel.
