Elder Sign: Omens, Hey, That's My Fish!, and the Star Wars™ Dice app are now available for your Kindle Fire from the Amazon app store! All three of these mobile device apps have been previously available for iOS and Google Play, with Elder Sign: Omens and Hey, That's My Fish! also available on OSX. Now, Kindle Fire owners can take the horrors of Lovecraft's fiction, fast-paced fishing fun, or the convenience of custom dice from a galaxy far, far away with them wherever they go.
The Museum Beckons
Elder Sign: Omens is based on the popular dice game by Richard Launius and Kevin Wilson. Players assemble a team of four intrepid investigators, who must do battle with horrifying creatures in order to secure Arkham's museum, and stop an Ancient One from awakening! Control all four investigators yourself, or pass and play with friends to make the task of thwarting the Ancient One a group effort.
The only hope of the investigators lies in the gathering of Elder Signs, powerful sigils that can be used to seal the Ancient One away. Players use randomly generated glyphs to complete adventures and slay horrific monsters in order to gather Elder Signs. Collect enough of these eldritch symbols, and you can seal away the dreaded Ancient One. But beware: if the Ancient One wakes, then this world is doomed!
Custom Dice for Any Encounter
In the X-Wing™ Miniatures Game, custom eight-sided dice determine the outcome of exciting dogfights. With symbols for hits, critical hits, evasions, and focusing, these red and green dice intuitively convey everything players need to know to keep the action tense and the battles cinematic. The seven unique custom dice in the Star Wars Roleplaying Game are designed to seamlessly supplement your narrative, offering a range of storytelling options with each and every roll.
The Star Wars Dice app adds to both of these exciting Star Wars experiences by providing players with a convenient way to have their custom dice on hand everywhere they go. Customizable settings let you set a background and sound effects, save pre-set dice combinations, and roll up to twenty of these dice at once. With its recent update to version 1.1 the Star Wars Dice app features a more intuitive and streamlined interface, new options for customization, and more functionalities for an even better experience. The app also features seven standard polyhedral dice, making the Star Wars Dice app the only dice roller you'll ever need!
Waddle Your Way to Victory
In Hey, That's My Fish! you and up to three friends or AI players send your penguins on a fish hunt. Share the experience through pass and play or challenge yourself with the solo option against an adjustable AI competitor. Charge across the randomly constructed Antarctic landscape and collect as many fish as possible!
Though seemingly simple, your goal will be thwarted by devious penguins and a rapidly deteriorating game board. Make your move as the ice crumbles beneath your feet, and try to trap your opponents while building up points. What strategy will you construct to corner your competition and gather the most fish?
Elder Sign: Omens, Hey, That's My Fish, and the Star Wars Dice app are all now available on the Amazon app store. Begin your investigations into the arcane, have some fishy fun, or test your luck in the battle for the galaxy on your Kindle Fire today!

This is a fluid, emollient cleanser for dry skin not prone to breakouts. When mixed with water, this forms a milky emulsion that removes makeup, including waterproof formulas. This is not recommended over most other cleansing oils because it contains fragrant ingredients that no one's skin needs, not to mention that these ingredients shouldn't be used around the eyes. Ginger root extract isn't soothing or calming for skin. Quite the opposite is true: Ginger root contains a mix of chemicals that are both anti-inflammatory and irritating. It is capable of causing contact dermatitis, though it isn't as notorious for that as several other plants (Source: www.naturaldatabase.com).
A 2-in-1 formula that gently removes all traces of makeup & cleanses skin while maintaining natural moisture levels. Olive and Jojoba Oils condition skin and leave it feeling soft and supple while Ginger Root Extract soothes and calms the skin.

It all began with lipsticks. In 1991, New York based makeup artist Bobbi Brown debuted a collection of ten lipsticks at Bergdorf Goodman, expecting to sell about one hundred units in a month. She sold more than that the first day. From there, it's been mostly success after success, as Brown launched her classic foundation stick, wrote her first book, Bobbi Brown Beauty The Ultimate Beauty Resource, and enjoyed continued attention as an in-demand makeup artist and beauty educator.
The popularity of the line, particularly the makeup, did not go unnoticed by Estee Lauder, who acquired Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in 1995. Since Lauder has been at the helm the line has expanded well beyond what Brown likely envisioned back in the early 1990s, and it now includes fragrance and body-care products, among others. Yet it is Brown's makeup that continues to excel with superior foundations (though the ones without sufficient UVA protection disappoint), true matte blushes and eyeshadows, and with all of the other basics that are essential to a woman's classic makeup wardrobe. It isn't the least bit surprising that this makeup collection continues to do so well, because for many women, it's one-stop shopping that combines classic makeup application techniques with enough fun-yet-functional products to keep customer's interest piqued season to season.
Turning to the skin-care collection, there isn't a great deal to say or extol. The prices are rather steep, especially when you consider how many well-intentioned products use jar packaging, and fragrant irritants are a common thread, including in most of the sunscreens, which is a shame. Color is Bobbi Brown's strong point, but you will find a few sleeper hits among the selection of mostly inadequate or problematic skin-care products.

We admire Brown's latest philosophy on beauty. She says, "The secret to beauty is simple—be who you are." No arguments here! However, it's clear from promotional materials for this line that Brown believes being who you are should involve some amount of makeup, a concept many women may disagree with. Still, there's no question that the right makeup, applied and blended correctly, can make a world of positive difference to a woman, and in this regard Brown's counter staff is well-prepared. It was nice to overhear the makeup artists explaining step-by-step application tips to customers, rather than just pushing products. With just a few exceptions, this is a makeup collection its namesake creator should be proud of—not only for the products, but also for the level of service and education provided.

MODESTO, Calif. — Blue Diamond Growers has a hit on its hands with its new Fresh-Roasted Thin Shell almonds, if Stephen Heinrichs' reactions are any indication.
"I really like these — they're very good," said Heinrichs, a sales representative for JackRabbit, a Ripon, Calif.-based nut harvesting equipment manufacturer, as he returned with his second sample cup.
"You're not just eating to be eating. You're eating as an experience, and it's very good and healthy."
The Thin Shells were just some of the many new products the Sacramento, Calif.-based almond cooperative showed off at its 102nd annual meeting, Nov. 14, in Modesto, Calif.
Thin Shells are made from the nonpareil almond variety, known for its large kernel and thin shell, said Maya Erwin, Blue Diamond senior group marketing manager.
In-shell almonds are soaked in brine to soften the shells, then run through machinery that reduces the shell thickness. Roasting helps split the shell.
The result is a roasted in-shell nut that can be easily hand cracked.
"You can do it one-handed," Heinrichs said. "You just scrunch them a little bit, and you're done."
Blue Diamond has launched two flavors in 10-ounce packages — unsalted and lightly salted with sea salt, Erwin said. The co-op is working on additional flavors.
Thin Shells will be sold in the produce department to take advantage of consumers' quests for fresh, healthful food and the department's high traffic, Erwin said.
"We're pretty much the almond leader in the snack food category," she said. "This gives us an opportunity to have a presence somewhere else in the store. We felt it was also an opportunity to bring a unique value-added product to produce."
The products were rolled out initially in Modesto-based Save Mart Supermarkets' approximately 240 stores, Erwin said.
In coming months, the co-op plans a national launch, starting in the West and moving East, she said.
Thin Shells are just the latest in a line of consumer value-added products and ingredients that helped the almond co-op earn a record $1 billion in revenue for the 2011 crop, which it finished marketing Aug. 31, said Mark Jansen, president and chief executive officer.
That compares to $700 million in revenue for the 2010 crop.
The consumer group alone has seen growth of 22% year over year, he said.
During the 2011-12 marketing year, Blue Diamond introduced 25 new consumer products.
It also launched a nationwide consumer advertising program, "Get Your Good Going," during the Summer Olympics. Sales increased 43% during that time, Jansen said.
The campaign promotes Blue Diamond almonds as a healthful snack for people on the go.
To help support continued growth, the co-op broke ground on a new 200,000 square-foot food manufacturing facility in April in Turlock, Calif.
The plant is expected to be ready for trial runs in February, with a grand opening in May.
The 2012 California almond crop, which growers just finished harvesting, is shaping up to be large, although not as large as expected, Jansen said.
The latest estimates peg it at about 1.9 billion pounds, down from the 2.3-billion-pound estimate the National Agricultural Statistics Service issued in May.
Jansen blamed hot, dry conditions this summer for shrinking kernel size, reducing overall tonnage.

Life Optimization and Efficiency
I have always been a freak about efficiency - I guess it is a combination of having an appreciation for aspects of engineering and having the tendency to be slightly obsessive-compulsive from time to time. Optimization yields efficiency.
In my day-to-day life, I try to optimize whenever possible - from lines of code in a long web app to simple things like how many loads of laundry I do in a given month. I always try to find the fastest way to get from point A to point B without affecting the quality of the end product.
Optimization is really key to progressing and evolving as an individual. As you optimize aspects in your life, you can begin to take on new things, bigger responsibilities, and explore different options.
Programmers always boast about optimization of code, but I think the principle can apply to all areas of our life - even design. Some of the best designs I have seen have been optimized for simplicity and communication. It is all about getting the core functionality of something and removing the clutter.

On July 3-4, 2014 the30 th ITF Taekwon-Do seminar was held in the Olympic building in Kabul City. Around 90 participants took part from several clubs with support of the Afghanistan National Olympic
Committee. The purpose of the seminar was to train and to show the update techniques of ITF Taekwon-Do to our members.
How important are the fundamental techniques? They are like a foundations for are future development. The simple middle punch is used in almost every pattern we learn in Taekwon-do. Front kick, side kick, turning kick – required for the yellow belt are most popular attacking tools in sparring when foot techniques are considered.
For these and many other reasons the answer to the first question is: Fundamental techniques are very important for our training. If for some reason we want to skip the basics and rush to more advanced kicks and strikes we have to keep in mind that it may do us more harm then good. It is a lot easier to progress to the next level knowing where you are coming from. If you don't take the time to learn how to keep your foot horizontal when performing turning kick, probably you won't pay attention also in the reverse turning kick. Errors in patterns, injuries in fight are often caused by skipping through fundamentals.
To avoid this, it's good to have a program that will cover all the basics techniques, theory and nomenclature.
We introduce to you Black Belt Basics:
After releasing all 24 patterns in the program Black Belt All In One (more information about it on http://www.tkd-blackbelt.com ), there came the time for the next production from Mr. Lukas Grygiel.
Author is proud to have in this production such celebrities as Master Jerzy Jedut VII Dan, well-known coach that teaches thousands of people around the world each year through his seminars, creator of the champions, vice president of technical issues in the Polish Taekwon-do Association.
Of course Mr. Jaroslaw Suska VI Dan, who doesn't need any special introduction continues cooperation with Black Belt Project. In this specific program he is presenting his famous leg techniques. Black Belt Project also supports young, yet experienced instructors.
In this program we can see Mr. Gabriel Bednarczyk IV Dan, who participated in many technical seminars conducted by the Masters: Kim Jong Su, Ri Myong Chol, Jerzy Jedut, Wilem Jacob Bos, Tran Trieu Quan, Hector Marano, Pablo Trajtenberg, Kim Ung Lan and General Choi Chong Hi and Ms. Kamila Szustak II Dan - multiple medalist of the European and World Championships and also World and European Cups. She has started practicing Taekwon-do when she was seven years old, now she owns Taekwon-do club fulfilling her greatest passion that is to pass the spirit of Taekwon-Do to the youngest.
All videos can be watched from the front and from the side, at normal or in the slow motion.
Program includes techniques for the color belts and 1st degree exams categorized according to their difficulty. Besides the single techniques Master Jedut presents also sequences from the patterns that shows different kinds of motion in patterns (continuous motion, fast motion, etc..)
In the Stances section are pictures, diagrams and descriptions of the most common stances used in the patterns.
The theory section is divided into categories:
ñ What is Taekwon-do
ñ History of Taekwon-do
ñ Spiritual culture
ñ Power theory
ñ Taekwon-do tenets
ñ The philosophy of Taekwon-do
ñ Origin of the patterns
ñ Why are there 24 patterns
ñ Meaning of the patterns
ñ Attacking and blocking surfaces of the hands
ñ Attacking and blocking surfaces of the legs
Next is the Dictionary section that translates Korean nomenclature to English. There are categories like:
This program is invaluable help to students and instructors. You can Pre-Order Black Belt Basics for lower price now at the http://www.tkd-blackbelt.com/index.php?page=dvdbasics
Promotion ends on 5th of July.
We recommend this program and fully support Black Belt Project.
Below are the few opinions of the beta-testers of our program:
"After extremely enjoying All in One with all the Taekwon-do patterns I was really curious about the new program. My students often asked me about the video material that would present fundamental techniques. Especially before the exams. In this program we will find both: videos, practice and theory – that is exactly what I and my students needed! When I had heard that price is about 25€ I had no doubt that my every student above 8th degree will order this software.
I fully recommend it to anyone who is serious about his career in Taekwon-do."
Mr. Artur Suchy Osuchowski IV DAN from Poland (coach and medal-winning contestant)
"Master Jerzy Jedut is a well-known coach. His experience in Taekwon-do is udeniable. To have him performing techniques and sequences from patterns is like having a seminar with one of the best instructors in the world. Watching Mr. Suska performing flying kicks is really inspiring and always gives me more energy and motivation for my daily training.
I also appreciate the part with the theory – finally I have everything in one place. This software will be helpful not only for the color belts; most of the presented techniques are used in the higher patterns as well. Without a doubt it's a must-have software for any Taekwon-do practitioner."
Mr. Kai Johnsrud II DAN from Norway (coach)
...Read moreMaster Downey and Mrs. Downey recently conducted their annual seminar (24th
year). There were over 140 students in attendance. The seminar included
instruction on self-defence, theory of power and training secrets and its
application in patterns, free sparring drills and pad training. Next year
will be a special seminar as it will be Downey's Taekwon-Do 25th
On the last day of May and the first day of June the 5th edition of the Holland Cup hosted by the Netherlands was held in Pijnacker's sportcentrum called De Viergang. Pijnacker is next to Delft, where the main organizer and his club (Sportschool Tim Kool) also hold their trainings.
8 nations (Belgium, Germany, England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Malaysia and of course the Netherlands), with almost 500 participants registered for this year's event - 194 B class and 304 A class competitors.
The weather was exceptionally good at the weekend, with a lot of sunshine which filled our hearts with joy and energy, so everyone was looking forward to start the tournament after the Dutch national holiday.
As in previous years the competition began on Saturday. This day was for the high belts, the A class competition was held for everyone over blue belt (4th gup and upwards). The rules again were a bit amended to fit all the competitors as the event was an open one (so there were competitors from different organizations). As usual the contest started with the pattern events on 7 rings.
A lot of high ranked VIP guests visited the event. Master Coos van de Heuvel arrived on his motorbike to take a look around, and I was able to share some thoughts about the event with him.
Many masters and instructors arrived with their own club as coaches. Not a complete list and not in order of importance: Master Willy van de Mortel, sabum Julia Cross (multi-world champion from Scotland), sabum Collin Adolfs (ruling World champion), Britt Adolfs (ruling European champion), Master Thomas Dennis, Master James Tjin-a-Ton (member of the AETF Umpire Committee), sabum Lilian Doulay (ruling European champion from France), sabum Chiel Rombout, Master Triqui Brahim (Germany), sabum Stephen Tapilatu, Master Wijnand Tapilatu and of course the organizer, sabum Tim Kool, ruling European champion.
The organization of the events was exceptionally precise, everything went as planned. If you haven't been at the event's venue or read the previous reports of the past editions of the cup, you might be wondering how crowded it was, but on the contrary, it was quite nice as the sportcenter is a rather large arena - almost double the size of a normal indoor court. Having this much space the organizers surrounded an area for the preparing teams as well as 3 small areas for the gathering for the upcoming categories, so checking the competitors and their ID cards took place not at the edge of the ring, making more space around, causing less confusion.
Of course we should not forget the umpires who volunteered: they have played a key role in the smooth run of the events. Many of them were just junior, trainee umpires, some of them were even umpires for the first time, however all of them showed outstanding performance. The first day was finished with the sparring categories. The sparring for the children was held not in weight categories, but they were grouped based on their height which was quite unusual for the ones who got used to the weight groups.
One interesting fact: the youngest competitor was 6, while the eldest one was 61 years old! It was good to see that there were a good couple of older competitors: fathers, mothers and possibly even grandparents who were still kicking, representing the most precious thing taekwon-do can offer: health.
As it was the 5th event the organizers were thinking about making it a special one by adding a special category which was available for everyone. They decided on a yop chagi competition, where the goal was to hold your leg in a yop chagi position over the height of your own hip for as long as possible: whoever could hold it for the longest time won the competition.
This year's best teams were the PUMA club from England on Saturday, taking the first place on the overall team ladder in category A, and Buell Sport from the Netherlands who took home the gold in category B.
Everyone left the competition in a great mood, wishing to see each other again in 2015 at the 6th edition of the Holland Cup.

Liquid Nitrogen is used to remove small skin lesions. It is hard to find a place to buy small quantities without buying an expensive container flask. I don't need it to last a very long time, so an insulated thermos should work fine. asked Jun 26 '11 at 09:48 flyer6 |
One concern with a Thermos, would be the thermal shock of adding liquid nitrogen might crack the glass liner. If you use steel thermos, I don't know if they would also be damaged (steel expands and contracts quite a bit with temperature changes). The containers we use are steel outers with a thick silvered glass liner. Judging by the radius of the glass as it bends at the top, I would say the glass is 3-5mm thick. When I last broke a regular thermos, the glass was very thin indeed - I wouldn't trust it to hold. Remember LN2 is very cold, so the change of temp from room temp to liquid is about 200 C, this is a lot more than adding boiling water to a Thermos. You might want to try putting your open thermos in the freezer for a couple of hours, then adding boiling water and see if it holds up. If you aren't confident of doing this, then don't try it with LN2. Also, when carrying LN2, you MUST vent the container - never seal it shut. The change from liquid to vapour is massively expansive, your Thermos will simply explode in short order, or boil over you as you open it. Don't leave it in small, poorly ventilated spaces, the nitrogen will displace the air and you will asphyxiate - nitrogen is 80% of normal air, so it doesn't smell, nor is it visible. Overall, I am not sure a Thermos is a good solution, too many things might go wrong, thin glass is brittle enough without being held at such a cold temp. I have not discussed the advisability of using LN2 for DIY dermatology - but you should exercise extreme caution when handling it, and I would recommend having adequate medical and technical supervision. When used properly however, it does yield extremely smooth ice-cream! linkanswered Jun 26 '11 at 16:04 Alan17 |

- Welcome to Paris!
Paris, France is home to Blizzard's 2008 Worldwide Invitational and also this funny tower thing, which we can see from the hotel.
- Meet your WoW Insiders
Turpster on the left and Jennie Lees on the right.
- Bienvenue!
Welcome to the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The Worldwide Invitational is being held just to the left, in Hall 5.
- Hall 5
The outside of Hall 5 is all dressed up for the beginning of the Worldwide Invitational.
- Hall 5
The day before the Invitational is set to start, workers are still doing setup of some kind.
- Hall 5
The banner hanging in front of Hall 5 features Arthas, Diablo, and Kerrigan -- so no real clues on what direction they might be going with tomorrow's announcement. (However, Turpster points out that the fire around Diablo's hand is shaped something like the number 3... Diablo 3, perhaps?)
- Tent in front of Hall 5
Because the white picket fencing seems to indicate rows (or lines), we're guessing that registration will be held in this tent, just past the entry gate.
- Is today "bring your dog to work" day?
Though this dog may appear to be innocently sleeping (and safely muzzled), we assure you he was quite large and threatening as he eyed visitors approaching Hall 5.
- The line forms that way
Though there was no one waiting in line when we checked this evening, a long stretch of sidewalk is already fenced off and waiting for people.
- Open sesame!
These doors are scheduled to open at 8AM local time to let people in for the first time. Wrath of the Lich King and StarCraft 2 demo stations will be opening at 9AM and the opening ceremonies will start at 11:45AM, so we expect there's lots of "waiting in line" time scheduled in for everyone.
- We're very important people, aren't we?
After all, we know the difference between "press" and "presse." Let us inside, please!
- Blizzard signage
The sheer number of signs scattered about the expo complex is staggering. Turpster suggests Blizzard may employ someone whose sole responsibility is those signs.
- A van down by the river...
Okay, we're kidding. The expo is really quite a distance from the Seine. However, this unmarked van piqued our curiosity...
- Is it a clue?
The more we look at this banner, the more the fireball in Diablo's hand looks like the number 3. Of course, with Blizzard's little splash screen game going on, we're seeing clues everywhere.
- Blizzard Entertainment
'nuf said.
- A look inside
We snapped this through a slightly grimy window (which, fortunately for us, was not guarded by dogs). Unlike previous events, where the announcement-to-be was rather obvious (like Blizzard employees sporting Wrath of the Lich King t-shirts at last year's BlizzCon), nothing we've seen so far jumps out as the answer. Though blurry, Diablo is featured in a small art gallery directly across from the window.
- A crowd begins to gather
Even with 12 hours until doors open, people have started to congregate outside of Hall 5, waiting for the big event.
- Goodnight, Paris!
When the sun starts to set, we gave up on taking pictures and trekked back to the hotel. Goodnight, and we'll see see you at the Invitational in the morning!
- Through the Star(Craft) Gate
The expo entrance.
- Shop banner
Flying high above the show floor, there's no question where the two shops are.
- Lock box
This chappie is for sale at the Blizzard store. Cuddly or what?
- L70ETC t-shirt
You too can own a non-exclusive t-shirt of your favourite band.
- Wish you were here
Postcards from Black Temple.
- Fan Art
Some beautiful images from Blizzard's fan art gallery adorn the walls.
- Fan Art
- The tournament stage
Empty... for now!
- Fan Art
- Starcraft II
The queues for the Starcraft hands-on were already bustling at 9am.
- Eager Starcraft players
The hands-on stations, up close and personal.
- Frostmourne
A Frostmourne replica, encased in a glass box. Dare you wield it?
- WoW, offline
Feeling withdrawal symptoms? Buy the board game!
- Starcraft Board Game
WoW's not the only Blizzard product to be immortalised in plastic and cardboard.
- Main Stage
Moving upstairs, the main stage before all the excitement kicks in.
- On the Throne
You too can be Arthas for a day.
- Ogre wrestling
In case you want to get a bit.. physical.
- Ogre on ogre action
These people were enjoying dressing up as ogres and jumping on each other a little too much.
- WotLK hands on stations
When we checked, everyone was staring at a login screen. No previews just yet, guys!
- Peekaboo
Photo-ops and timewasters abound at every corner.
- Turtle Mount
Outside the Upper Deck exhibition area, some real-life WoW items amuse passers-by.
- Orc
This friendly chap greets visitors to Upper Deck, but don't worry -- he doesn't bite.
- Help me click!
Unfortunately, this summoning stone doesn't actually work. We would have kidnapped it if it did.
- Mailbox
Don't you wish you could just fit one of these into your pocket at all times?
- Night Elf model
Have your picture taken with a model who won't object. Right outside the Upper Deck area.
- Hands-on
Up close and personal with Upper Deck.

The other day I got a phone call on my cell phone from a number I did not know. They called twice in a row and left 2 messages (one was blank and one was a lady I couldn't understand). Like other people I hate when I get phone calls that I don't recognize – especially on my cell phone. I don't mind when I get unwanted calls on my home phone because I can either shut the phone off (which I usually do) or I just hang up. But when I get a call on my cell phone it is very annoying. Since I have my cell phone in my pocket all day when I get a call it interrupts what ever I was doing at that time (driving, sleeping, in a meeting, etc.)
So, when I got 2 calls from that unknown phone number the other day I wanted to find out more on that number. Was it a telemarketer? Was it just a mis-dial? Was it a sales call? Was it somebody I know but I don't have their phone number? I didn't want to pay for any reverse phone lookup site so I did a quick search in Google on the phone number that called me and found a cool site called faveous.com that had information on the phone number that called me. I found the number through Google but if you can't find the number that you are searching for through Google then you can browser for the number on their list of area codes page (I couldn't find a search box to search by number.) It had the location of the number (city, state, zip, etc.) with a map. It also had reports and comments from other users (although this particular number did not). I thought that that user comments was cool because if somebody did get a call and answered it they could put information on what they found on that number. I did not post a comment on the number that called me but I probably should have.
One of the better features that I noticed on faveous.com is that you can bookmark or add a number to your "FAVs". According to their how it works page you can add a number to you FAVs to follow that number. So, when you do that they will send you an email when another users comments on that number. I think that is pretty cool because if you really want to find information on that phone number you don't have keep going back to the site to see if there is anymore information that has been added. Just bookmark and they will notify you when there is new data.
Some other features that I thought were useful is they will actually find the owner information if more than 10 user comments are on that number. I like that because then I don't have to pay for it – they do! It looks like faveous also will submit a number to the Do Not Call Gov website and file a complaint for certain numbers (I'm not sure how they determine which phone numbers to submit though).

Thanks to Helen Gandy, the world never learned of the true reach of J. Edgar Hoover's choke-hold on American politicians. According to a congressional inquiry and other sources, the notorious FBI director amassed secret files on the sexual and other peccadillos of politicians, entertainers, writers and officials, giving him immense blackmailing powers over his real and imagined enemies on Capitol Hill and elsewhere.
We'll never really know the whole story, because Miss Gandy, his longtime secretary, destroyed the files upon Hoover's death in May 1972.
It may turn out that tax maniac Grover Norquist also has his own Miss Gandy, primed to destroy the contents of his locked safe when the grim reaper comes. Until then, he's got the Republicans' cajones in his hands.
Norquist himself suggested his true grasp on power Monday night when he "took a pot shot at Rep. Peter King's (R-NY) marriage," according to Raw Story's Arturo Garcia, after the Long Islander suggested he might abandon his no-taxes pledge after nearly two decades.
"I hope his wife understands that commitments last a little longer than two years or something," Norquist fumed.
What other than the possession of embarrassing details on the private lives and messy business deals of Republican legislators can explain the right-wing lobbyist's hammerlock on tax policy over the past quarter century?

Fire Wire
For communication from your alarm system to your fire alarm accessories, check out our stock or fire wires here at Home Security Store. A fire wire will ensure that, with your hardwired alarm system, all of your products are running on the same connected wire. For fire safety equipment, hardwired systems are reliable and increase communication with the security of always being plugged in.
Determining which type of fire wire you need shouldn't be very difficult. It is labeled usually labeled on the box or packaging that your accessory (like a smoke detector) came in. The package should tell you how many conductors (wires) there are and the gauge size. The gauge of the wire is the thickness of it- the higher number of the gauge, the smaller the wire will be.
We offer fire wires in different lengths and wires for your convenience. It's always better to have more than you need, for the present and the future. We stock fire wire from 500 feet to 1000 feet, to cover more than enough ground in your home or business. All of our fire wire is 18 gauge, mostly because this is the standard for home monitoring wire products. Our variations of 2 or 4 wire sets is what sets based on how many feet you need is what sets us apart from the rest.
All of our fire wires are stored in convenient boxes to prevent frustration and save time. Get what you need to keep everyone safe during a fire here at Home Security Store.

Reasons for Procedure
Hepatic resection is most often used to treat cancer in the liver. It can also be done for the following reasons:
- Treat other tumors in the liver (including benign [non-cancerous] lesions)
- Treat cancer that has spread to the liver (most often seen in patients with colon cancer )
- Liver transplant donation
- Treat trauma to the liver
Possible Complications
Your doctor will review possible complications such as:
- Excess bleeding
- Reaction to anesthesia
- Infection
- Nausea and vomiting
- Low blood sugar
- Liver failure
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Long-term side effects are uncommon. This is because the liver is able to regrow and function normally within a few months. But, this can happen more slowly in older patients.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do some of the following:
- Physical exam
- Blood tests
- Liver function tests
- You may be given chemotherapy to shrink liver tumors.
- You may meet with a doctor who specializes in liver surgery.
Your doctor may do tests to determine the exact location of the tumors:
- Abdominal ultrasound —a test that uses sound waves to make an image in the abdomen
- CT scan —a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of structures in the abdomen
- PET scan —a test that uses a small amount of radiation to locate areas in the body with abnormal metabolic activity, such as cancers
- MRI scan —a test that uses magnetic waves to make picture of structures in the abdomen
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood thinners
- Antiplatelets
General anesthesia will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery.
Description of the Procedure
The doctor will make an incision in the right upper abdomen, under the rib cage. The doctor will remove any tumors on the liver and some of the surrounding healthy tissue. Sometimes, the gallbladder will also need to be removed. The doctor may use an ultrasound probe to examine the liver during surgery to make sure there are no remaining tumors. Your doctor may leave a drain going from inside your abdomen to outside your body. This will drain any blood or leakage from the liver. The doctor will close your incision with stitches or staples.
Immediately After Procedure
You will be taken to the intensive care unit for about 24 hours. The hospital staff will monitor you.
How Long Will It Take?
3-7 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. Pain or soreness during recovery will be managed with pain medication.
Average Hospital Stay
The usual length of stay is three to seven days. The doctor may choose to keep you longer if there are complications.
Post-procedure Care
- You will receive nutrition through an IV. It will be removed once you are eating and drinking.
- You may have drains from the incision site to help the wound heal properly. Drains are usually removed before you leave the hospital.
- You may have a small catheter put into your bladder to drain urine. It will be removed in a few days.
- You will be given medications to manage pain. These may be given through injections, your IV, or through a pump attached to a needle in your arm.
- You may be given medications to prevent nausea.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding your healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incision
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Change your bandages as directed by your doctor.
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
- Take pain medication as needed.
- You may begin to feel better in about six weeks.
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if any of these occur:
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, warmth, drainage, or bulging at the incision site
- Yellow skin color
- Itchy skin
- Changes in mental status
- Persistent nausea and/or vomiting
- Severe abdominal pain and/or swelling
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Pain and/or swelling in your feet, calves, or legs
- Feeling weak or lightheaded
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

We are rinsing and repeating today because Eugenio Velez signed a minor league contract with the Dodgers. As I said before, I am hoping he will get more play time and a legitimate chance, which the Giants just aren't able to offer him right now. I wish he wasn't going to be donning Dodger blue, but if he takes a little play time from Matt Kemp I won't be at all adverse to that. There is a bright side to everything.
Meanwhile Cliffy is said to have signed a deal with the Phillies. As of this writing, the number of years and amount of money is not confirmed, though "sources" say it's five years, $100 million. So he wasn't going after that endlessly long contract after all. Interesting and refreshing. I'll write more when I know more but for now I just have one other refreshing thing to share: yesterday, I mentioned Cliff Lee and the person I was talking to said, "Cliff who?" Some days- especially media circus days- I just love those non baseball fans. And yeah. This all surprised me too.
Brian Cashman/Hank Steinbrenner/Jon Daniels/Nolan Ryan/Chuck Greenberg will probably sleep better tonight, now that it's all over. As well as Cliff himself. I think everyone involved in this is glad it's over.
Good night, blogsphere.

Switch hit sweep to Narine, first ball? Interesting choice.
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
Nothing to gain here for Khawaja, please don't get out.
I wonder when West Indies will find a good keeper again.
Ramdin, Baugh and Thomas just keep on rotating in and out of the team.
Not good signs from Usman with the tour of India coming up oh and possibly Swann later on in the year.

Baugh's a good keeper, but his lack of ability with the bat is too significant to be overlooked.
christ usman just slog. you're only gonna lose by attempting to bat sanely. see: maxwell.
Yeah Baugh is the best with the gloves, it just seems random how often they change. None of them really perform against Australia ever.
BTW, how bad was Healy's West Indies impersonation last over.
maxwell's got as much confidence as dale steyn does with the bat
DRS system is to review the howlers
WI thought Finch's was a howler but DRS didn't show anything.
As it was said the noise was too coincidental to ignore but it looked like there was daylight as the ball went passed the bat.
What else was it ?

Camry XLE V6 v. Lexus ES 350
A friend of mine is trying to make this decision, so I'm posting here to get some advice I could relay to him...
I keep hearing that the ES is just a "rebadged" Camry. To what extent is this true?
I got to drive an ES around pretty nicely during the Taste of Lexus event, and I was impressed. Obviously nothing like a BMW or even my own Maxima, but the handling was very secure, better than what I was expecting from the "cheapest" Lexus.
So anyways, what do you guys think? Does the XLE Camry drive as nicely as the ES350?

210delray Posts: 4,722I'd say the two are pretty close, so you can base your choice on personal preference. I'm a value buyer, so I'd go with the lower priced Camry.
But if you like more gadgets and the prestige of the Lexus nameplate (plus arguably better dealer service) and don't mind paying for the privilege, then get the Lexus.
By all means, test drive both before buying. -
mdames Posts: 79I have driven the Camry XLE V6 and I own a 2007 ES350. Although they may share the same platform and engine, they are light years apart in my opinion. Drive the Camry then drive the Lexus. There's no comparison. The ES is far and away a cut above the Camry. The ultra quiet ride. The fit and finish, incredible technology. Don't get me wrong, the Camry is a fine car. And if price is a big factor, you won't go wrong with that vehicle. But if you're looking for more luxury, the ES easily tops the Camry, in my opinion. The telling is in the driving.
stlpike07 Posts: 218I agree too. Its is hard for me to imagine the Camry surpasing the Lexus. I have an '07 Camry and have driven the new Lexus too. I love my car, but it isn't the Lexus.
Also, a Lexus is more of a "status symbol" than a Camry, so if you can comfortably afford the Lexus I would go with the Lexus. -
seiko Posts: 5I test drove the two cars back-to-back and since the Toyota and Lexus dealers are on the same stretch of raod in my city, I drove the two vehicles on an identical route. The biggest difference that stood out to me was how much quieter the ES350 is under all driving conditions. Both are great cars,
stlpike07 Posts: 218I believe that is because Lexus (and BMW, Mercedes, etc.) dynomat and foam the entire vehicle to reduce outside noise. I'm not sure if Toyota does that to the same extent. If you dynomat and foam any vehicle it will be extremely quiet......it is just expensive to do, especially aftermarket.
tjazz321 Posts: 8I tested both extensively before deciding and it seemed apples and oranges. ES hands down, not only for luxury, but also interior space (at least perceived space), driving position, and yes--performance. Better road manners, a heavier feel, better balance in curves, etc. Every bit as fast and crisp, but more refined. I do think in this case you get what you pay for. The choice for me was actually between ES and Avalon touring, and ES won out, for a few thousand more than the Avalon.
tammy10 Posts: 15I disagree that there is a significant difference. My husband has an XLE, I have the 350, both are two months old, I've driven both extensively.
Besides the extra year bumper to bumper, differences in appearance and a few other tiny features (my husband's car is similarly equipped), I think they drive the same and neither is clearly more quiet.
Indeed, my 350 is louder than my 9 year old 300. The insurance premium is the same the same too.
BUT, the Lexus brand is historically better at holding it's value. -

music4kp Posts: 9I agree. He should have done his research before buying such an expensive car. I test drove my '07 ES350 before purchasing it over a year ago, and found that it was the best car I've ever owned. As for the radio in his wife's Camry being better, he probably doesn't have the Mark Levinson...just a guess.
tango19 Posts: 4Just noticed this old thread.
I just retired my old '94 XLE V6 (even though it was still running great!) In the early '90s the XLE with leather was pretty much the same car as the ES. I used to park next to a coworker who had the '94 ES and I used to laugh that other than very slight cosmetic differences, they were the exact same car.
So I looked at getting a fully loaded XLE this time ("fool my once...") I drove both cars many times, and to me the difference between a fully loaded XLE and a UL packaged ES is night and day. Just pulling the door shut on the ES got my attention. The ES feels like you are closing yourself in a vault (in a good way). Everything in the ES, from plastic knobs to the leather just oozes quality and luxury.
The ride itself is not that much different (although the ES definitely has the edge), but the quiet, finesse, and attention to luxury details really pampers you in the ES. The ML audio system is superb. I never thought I would hear a clear difference between MP3s (line out from iPod) and CDs. I was wrong. The detail of the uncompressed AIFF CD files is quite apparent, and now I find myself buying CDs again rather than simply downloading from iTunes. (Tip: when listening to music on the ML system - as opposed to a DVD movie - be sure to turn off surround sound otherwise the bass will not be tight and accurate.)
The Camry is a fine car, just not nearly as luxurious and joyful as a UL ES. Yes the ES costs more, but you really do get what you pay for, in fact, as far as luxury sedans go, the ES is a bargain.
Needless to say I bought an 08 ES with UL package and actually enjoy my daily commute now!

The electrons in the outside shells of atoms are responsible for bonding. Therefore, it is important to know how many electrons there are in the outside shell of each atom. There are three types of chemical bond: metal atoms join to non-metal atoms by ionic bonding, non-metal atoms join to other non-metal atoms by covalent bonding, and metal atoms join by metallic bonding. By understanding how atoms join together on an individual basis, we can build up a picture of how millions of atoms join together, and relate this to the physical properties of the material.

Curriculum and Exam Board Information
Key Issues
- All the atoms in these structures are linked to other atoms by strong covalent bonds and so they have very high melting points
- An ionic compound is a giant structure of ions
- Any stoichiometrically correct equations for cathode and anode reactions will be accepted. Examples should be drawn from electrolytic processes specifically covered in the syllabus
- At the negative electrode, positively charged ions gain electrons (reduction) and at the positive electrode, negatively charged ions lose electrons (oxidation)
- Atoms that gain electrons become negatively charged ions
- Atoms that lose electrons become positively charged ions
- Atoms that share electrons can also form giant structures or macromolecules
- Chemical Bonding
- Chemical bonding involves either transferring or sharing electrons in the highest occupied energy levels (shells) of atoms
- Chemical bonding involves transfer or sharing of electrons
- classify substances in terms of their properties as metallic; ionic; covalent molecular or giant covalent (including graphite, diamond and quartz)
- Compounds
- Compounds are substances in which atoms of two, or more, elements are not just mixed together but chemically combined
- Copper
- Copper can be purified by electrolysis using a positive electrode made of the impure copper and a negative electrode of pure copper in a solution containing copper ions
- Covalent bonding in giant structures
- Covalent bonding in simple molecules and giant structures
- Covalent Bonds
- Covalent bonds are formed between non-metals
- Delocalised Electrons
- describe electrolysis in terms of ionic reactions
- describe in simple terms, the bonding in metals
- describe the formation of a covalent bond in terms of sharing electron pairs. Examples should include Cl2, O2, H2O and CH4
- describe the formation of an ionic bond in terms of electron transfer and recognise that bond formation is the result of attraction between ions of opposite charge and is typical of metal compounds
- describe the typical properties of ionic solids, i.e. hard, brittle, high melting, crystalline solids which conduct electricity when molten or in solution, to include solubilities of chlorides nitrates, sulphates, carbonates, hydroxides and oxides as prov
- Diamond
- Diamond and Graphite (forms of carbon) and silicon dioxide (silica) are examples of giant covalent structures (lattices) of atoms
- Differences between the properties of simple molecular and giant covalent substances
- Dot and cross diagrams of simple molecules
- During electrolysis, positively charged ions move to the negative electrode, and negatively charged ions move to the positive electrode
- Electrolysis
- Elements combine to form compounds
- Examples should include MgO, NaCl and CaCl2
- Examples should include the molten halide salts LiCl and PbBr2 and solutions limited to sulphuric acid (dilute) and sodium chloride (concentrated)
- explain that atoms share or transfer electrons in order to get a complete outer shell
- explain the electrical conductivity, malleability, hardness and high melting point of metals in terms of metallic bonding (ions held strongly in mobile electrons)
- explain the properties and uses of typical ionic, covalent (simple and giant) and metallic substances in terms of their chemical bonding and structures
- Formation of covalent bonds by sharing electrons
- Formation of ionic compounds by transfer of electrons
- Formation of ions from atoms in ionic compounds
- give a simple explanation of electrolysis and examples of its use, i.e. recognize that some substances can be broken down into simpler substances by an electric current
- Graphite
- If there is a mixture of ions, the products formed depend on the reactivity of the elements involved
- In diamond, each carbon atom forms four covalent bonds with other carbon atoms in a giant covalent structure, so diamond is very hard
- In graphite, each carbon atom bonds to three others, forming layers. The laters are free to slide over each other and so graphite is soft and slippery
- In graphite, one electron from each carbon atom is delocalised
- Intermolecular Forces
- Ionic Bonds
- Ionic bonds are formed between metals and non-metals
- Ionic Compounds
- Ionic compounds are held together by strong forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
- Ionic compounds have regular structures (giant ionic lattices)in which there are strong electrostatic forces in all directions between oppositely charged ions
- Ionic Substances in Water
- Ions
- Ions from atoms
- Ions have the electronic structure of a noble gas (Group O)
- It is these intermolecular forces that are overcome, not the covalent bonds, when the substance melts or boils
- Layers of Atoms
- Macromolecules
- Metals conduct heat and electricity because of the delocalised electrons in their structures
- Metals consist of giant structures of atoms arranged in a regular pattern
- Others have giant covalent structures (macromolecules), such as diamond and silicon oxide
- Passing an electric current through ionic substances that are molten or in solution breaks them down into elements. This process is called electrolysis
- Positive and Negative Electrodes
- predict the products of simple electrolytic reactions
- Production of hydrogen, chlorine and sodium hydroxide by electrolysis
- Properties of giant covalent structures
- Properties of ionic compounds
- Properties of simple molecular substances
- Reactions at Electrodes
- Reactions at electrodes can be represented by half equations

- recall that atoms in compounds are held together by bonds (ionic and covalent)
- recall the characteristic properties of ionic and compounds
- recognise covalent bonding as typical of non-metal elements and compounds
- recognise that when atoms share electrons, the bond formed is called covalent
- recognise that when atoms transfer electrons the bond formed is called ionic
- recognise that, in electrolysis, conduction occurs through the movement of ions, that positive ions are discharged at the cathode and that negative ions are discharged at the anode
- Sharing of electrons to form molecules with covalent bonds
- Sodium hydroxide solution is also produced
- Some covalently bonded substances consist of simple molecules such as H2, Cl2, O2, HCl, H2O and CH4
- Substances that consist of simple molecules only have weak forces between the molecules (intermolecular forces)
- The electrolysis of sodium chloride solution produces hydrogen and chlorine
- The electrons in the highest occupied energy levels (outer shell) of metal atoms are delocalised and so free to move through the whole structure
- The idea of preferential discharge is limited to the electrolysis of sulphuric acid (dilute) and sodium chloride (concentrated)
- The lattice structure of ionic compounds
- The layers of atoms in metals are able to slide over each other and so metals can be bent and shaped
- Theories (ideas) about chemical bonding
- These are important reagents for the chemical industry
- These compounds conduct electricity because the ions are free to move and carry the current
- These delocalised electrons allow graphite to conduct heat and electricity
- These forces act in all directions in the lattice and is called ionic bonding
- This corresponds to a structure of positive ions with electrons between the ions holding them together by strong electrostatic attractions
- This involves giving, taking or sharing electrons and the atoms are held together by chemical bonds
- This is called electrolysis and can happen when the substance is molten or dissolved in water
- Transfer of electrons to form ions and ionic bonds
- understand the terms anode, cathode and electrolyte
- When an ionic substance is melted or dissolved in water, the ions are free to move about within the liquid or solution
- When atoms form chemical bonds by transferring electrons, they form ions
- When atoms share pairs of electrons, they form covalent bonds. These bonds between atoms are strong
- When elements react, their atoms join with other atoms to form compounds
- When melted or dissolved in water, ionic compounds conduct electricity because the ions are free to move and carry the current

I was hoping to ask those more familiar with the game… how in hell do you succeed?
I've never played the board game, but I'm a big fan of FFG. I've checked all the tutorials but after my eighth attempt I still can't seem to win a single game. I notice the app got high ratings and I've been a huge fan of Lovecraft for many years so I really want to like this game, but so far it's given me nothing but grief.
Are there any tactics anyone could share or is it purely down to dumb luck?
Any advice would be most welcome.

Suspect's aunt: 'Why would anybody do this?'
BY LAUREN FITZPATRICK Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com December 15, 2012 12:58PM
Nancy Lanza, mother of Connecticut school shooting suspect Adam Lanza. | Provided~Facebook photo
Article Extras
Updated: January 17, 2013 6:46AM
Marsha Lanza's ears perked up Friday morning at the name Sandy Hook — the grade school in Newtown, Conn. besieged with bullets some 900 miles from her own home in Crystal Lake.
Nancy lives there, she said to herself.
She dashed off an email to Nancy Lanza, her sister-in-law, who lives in the tiny town. Both women married Lanza brothers — Marsha the eldest, Nancy the youngest. They even kept in touch across the country after Nancy and P.J. divorced.
The message would go unanswered, Marsha Lanza said Saturday morning as she cried on her front porch.
"I couldn't stop crying. I have a gut feeling this is my family," she said she told a friend Friday. "My intuition tells me that it is."
Within hours, Marsha Lanza called her own husband working in North Carolina with heartbreaking news: his brother's ex-wife was dead; their son, Adam Lanza, was the suspected shooter of her, five other adults and 20 small children.
"Why would anybody do this, especially somebody in their own family?" Marsha Lanza, 57, said Saturday. "What would have caused it?"
Police initially named Adam Lanza's brother as the shooting suspect.
"I thought Ryan, no. Never would have thought him, no."
And Adam?
"I wasn't sure," she said of the nephew she hadn't seen since he was about three. "I wasn't sure because I knew she [Nancy Lanza] had issues with him."
Police said Adam Lanza used the guns his mother kept in her tony home to be, as Marsha Lanza described it, "prepared for the worst."
Nancy Lanza feared the economy might tank — and she lived alone, Marsha Lanza said.
"I knew she kept 'em [the guns]. I didn't know that they would be used on her."
Nancy Lanza, 52, had grown up on a farm in New Hampshire, a few towns over from Marsha's hometown. She was strict with her boys — but you have to be, said Marsha Lanza, who raised five sons.
"Any mother of boys rides a mean broom," she said. "Kids walk all over you as long as you let them. You draw that line and say no more. You hold that line; you have to."
Nancy also had been a loving mother, the woman at family get-togethers sitting on the floor with all the children while the other adults drank a beer in the kitchen.
"That's who she was, she loved the kids," Marsha Lanza said.
As ex-wife of a successful General Electric executive, Nancy Lanza didn't need to work. When her younger son, Adam Lanza, had "issues" at school, his mother home-schooled him, Marsha Lanza said.
His mom believed her sons weathered their parents' divorce well after about 20 years of marriage, she said.
Their dad, Peter Lanza, known as P.J., has since remarried.
Since the shootings, he has not yet contacted his older brothers, including Michael Lanza, living in North Carolina for work since losing his job in Illinois three years ago.
His Illinois relatives are still waiting, waiting to check on P.J., waiting for all the sons to come home, Marsha Lanza said, waiting for answers.
Meanwhile, they're all mourning.
"My heart goes out to the families who've lost kids. I've lost two," said Marsha Lanza, who lost a boy to cancer at 3 1/2 years old and a 37-week-old stillborn baby.
"There's nothing worse than losing a child. I'm just devastated by the whole thing. It's a family's nightmare. It's a mother's nightmare."

Transportation in Toronto
Toronto's subway is the quickest and easiest way to get around. The three main subway lines are all part of one zone, transporting you to most parts of the central area. It can be busy during rush hour.
There are lots of taxis in Toronto, and they'll get you where you want to go in a hurry, including the airport. A 10-15% tip is usual.
Toronto is exceptionally clean for a big city – the fifth largest in North America – so walking is a joy, weather permitting. In winter, the way to get around downtown, and stay warm against the heaps of snow outside, is by taking the PATH. It's a 27km network of underground walkways that meander past hundreds of shops, businesses and medical clinics.
Toronto's plentiful buses have got the Greater Toronto area covered. When the subway stops, they keep going.
Rent your car
Toronto has good road links around Lake Ontario, other Canadian lakes, Montreal and across the US-Canada border to Buffalo. The city's grid-layout makes it easy to navigate and car parks are indicated by a 'P' in a green circle. On-street parking is restricted to certain times of the day.
Transportation tips
You can get single trip transportation tickets or a Day Pass for individuals, families or couples. One ticket is valid for all public transport, except for the GO Trains that take commuters out to the suburbs. You can also purchase a weekly Metropass for access to metro Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton and York – including the GO Trains this time.

Placement of Central Venous Line Using Simulation: A Resident-to-Resident Teaching Model
Hormoz Kianfar, M.D., Avinesh Bhar, M.D., Amreen Dinani, M.D., George Benedetto, Melvin Hochman, M.D., Jason Gluck, M.D.
New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens
Introduction: An estimated 5 million central venous line (CVL) placements are performed every year in the US. In teaching hospitals, residents place most CVLs. Each individual residency program is responsible for ensuring resident proficiency at CVL insertion while maintaining patient safety; however, as work hours are being reduced and programs increase in size, ensuring proficiency is challenging. The traditional approach of "see one, do one, teach one" is being supplanted by a more intensive, multi-pronged approach involving didactics, the internet and the use of simulators. Current data has been favorable to the adoption of simulators in CVL placement training, but none have evaluated a resident-to-resident teaching model.
Purpose: To determine if senior residents, using a standardized protocol, can effectively train junior residents in ultrasound-guided CVL placement.
Method: 22 PGY-2 residents were enrolled in a standardized ultrasound guided CVL placement workshop conducted by a PGY-3 and observed by an attending from behind a one-way mirror. Each group of 3-5 residents were required to read selected educational material and watch an instructional video on CVL placement [NEJM – Clinical Medicine Video] prior to attending a 2-hour workshop. The didactic session included a review of indications, technique and complications of ultrasound guided CVL placement and a live demonstration on CentraLineMan (Simulab Corp, Seattle, WA). Each participant then placed at least one CVL on CentralLineMan under the supervision of the senior. Remediation was provided as necessary. Participants completed a questionnaire, based on a 1-5 point Likert scale, to assess their CVL comfort level prior to the workshop and again at 3 months.
Results: 19 PGY-2 residents attended the workshops, 3 did not participate due to scheduling conflicts. The residents rated the course on as very educational (mean 4.3), helpful (mean 4.5) and realistic (mean 4.3). The workshop had met or exceeded their expectations, with a mean score of 4.4. At 3-month follow-up, the average number of CVLs placed by each resident had increased from 1.5 to 3.8 and with a concomitant increase in comfort from a mean of 2.3 to 4.
Conclusion: Central line simulation supervised by senior residents is a novel training method. Residents found the course highly educational, realistic, and effective. After this workshop, they actively placed CVLs and were more comfortable. We demonstrated that, using a standardized protocol and simulation technique, senior residents can effectively train junior residents in ultrasound guided CVL placement.

It also launched a nationwide consumer advertising program, "Get Your Good Going," during the Summer Olympics. Sales increased 43% during that time, Jansen said.
The campaign promotes Blue Diamond almonds as a healthful snack for people on the go.
To help support continued growth, the co-op broke ground on a new 200,000 square-foot food manufacturing facility in April in Turlock, Calif.
The plant is expected to be ready for trial runs in February, with a grand opening in May.
The 2012 California almond crop, which growers just finished harvesting, is shaping up to be large, although not as large as expected, Jansen said.
The latest estimates peg it at about 1.9 billion pounds, down from the 2.3-billion-pound estimate the National Agricultural Statistics Service issued in May.
Jansen blamed hot, dry conditions this summer for shrinking kernel size, reducing overall tonnage.
