If practice makes perfect, David Whiting, MD, must be approaching that standard: he has performed more than 98,000 LASIK eye surgeries in his career. While racking up those impressive stats, the board-certified ophthalmologist has held medical-director positions at institutions including LasikPlus and Joffe MediCenter. At Whiting Clinic LASIK + Eye Care, he and his staff make use of both extensive experience and advanced technology to perform treatments including LASIK eye surgery, cataract procedures, and lens implants to treat severe nearsightedness or just allow for useful backup eyes. Patients get to experience the fun side as well as the medical side of the intricate equipment: during their visit, they'll interface with iPad systems and select their own music to listen to. The clinic itself was built to Dr. Whiting's own specifications, including eco-friendly construction methods, sweeping glass walls that light up with changing colors at night, and nature-inspired artwork that allows patients to revel in their renewed vision.
The American Lung Association of Minnesota recognizes the 2 million gallons of Blue Planet gasoline pumped every day at Plymouth Station Holiday & Auto Center as a "Clean Air Choice". Blue Planet boasts that its fuel's low emissions equate to removing 40,000 cars off the road, even while delivering the same number of miles per gallon as traditional gas. Each eco-friendly fill-up also saves money when paired with certain car washes, which claim to get cars in and out of the 112-foot scrubbing tunnel in five minutes or less, even when the line is around the block or the parking lot has been freshly carameled.
Founded by Dr. Stephen Joffe and Craig Joffe, a father-and-son team who used LASIK eye surgery to correct their own vision, Joffe MediCenter has four locations across the country where expert ophthalmologists use advanced diagnostics to conduct each custom wavefront LASIK surgery. Treatment begins with a free, noninvasive examination with Bausch & Lomb Orbscan and Zywave mapping systems?derived from technology developed for astronomy and physics applications. They generate a 3-D model of each eye, which, like a fingerprint or favorite line from The Princess Bride, is unique to each person.
Upon assessing the results to confirm LASIK candidacy, doctors schedule an in-office surgery in their state-of-art clinic. The LASIK procedure is designed to eliminate your need for glasses and contacts regardless of whether you suffer from nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. The vast majority of patients experience 20/20 vision the next morning after treatment. After the procedure, doctors will schedule postoperative exams.
In a convenient location with plenty of parking, EyesWear gives shoppers access to more than 1,000 vintage and modern designer frames to express their personal style and visual acuity. The boutique's menu of lenses includes single-vision, ultrathin high-index, and mirror lenses that render narcissists immobile until you walk away. The staff can also create custom clip-on sunglasses for any type of frame to filter rays to their most enjoyable wavelength. In addition, patrons can have new lenses fashioned from a current prescription and inserted into old frames or opera binoculars.
Since 1981, Eyedeals has fused the worlds of ocular health of high fashion with their locally owned boutique and clinic. At the trendy uptown Minneapolis studio, frame stylists employ tried-and-tested face-shape-matching methods and cheekbone trigonometry to unite eyeballs with flattering frames from labels such as Ogi, Prodesign, Etnia Barcelona, and l.a. Eyeworks. At the St. Paul clinic, expanded diagnostic services ensure precise prescriptions, as qualified doctors sharpen vision with contact lens fittings and thorough eye exams.
The crew at Fridley Optical has cared for customers' eyesight since 1978. Because they want to treat each customer like they're a part of the family, Fridley's staff goes beyond general eye exams and expands their service menu to include services such as pre- and post-LASIC care, custom contact fittings, glaucoma treatment, and pink-eye treatment. They provide comprehensive eye exams and stock their store with hundreds of stylish frames from designers such as Caprio and Pavi Optics as well as contacts, bifocals, and trifocal lenses.

A New Year, a new us!
Introducing a brand new buildabrand.
We've listened, learnt and responded! Making your buildabrand journey easy, quick and simple. Thank you for all your feedback!
8 ways to kick start your idea!
Start the year with a bang!
Ahh, a new year. A chance to dig out those resolutions you brushed under the rug in 2011 and make 2012 the year to see your idea turn into a reality. How? Whether you have a name, a concept, a product idea, want to start freelancing, or even have a fully fledged business proposal, we've put together 8 ways buildabrand will kickstart your idea in 2012:
Stand-up at the Start-Up Hub
"Showcasing talent, drive and diversity" – buildabrand represents a new era of technological innovation [at the Conservative Party Conference]
10 Principles of Design within Agile
User Interface (UI)/User Experience (UX) design Jedi Carlos Rouse joined buildabrand as our principle UX Strategist at the end of May and brought to the team a wealth of UI and UX design knowledge . Having worn many design hats at BSkyB, he's faced his share of UI challenges and has developed some clever and beautiful solutions.
Angry Birds: Investing in the Big Game
I recently attended a talk, Angry Birds: Investing in the Big Game, where Chris Dark, Senior Investment Manager at venture capital firm Atomico, spoke about Atomico's recent investment in the game maker Rovio. Chris also shared some general tips for startups and entrepreneurs in the audience looking to work with VC firms. Don't worry if you weren't able to attend, sharing is the rule here at buildabrand.
We've moved (again): Welcome to buildabrand HQ!
Not that long ago in September 2010 buildabrand made a move to join the London and European tech movers and shakers at TechHub (you might remember reading @TechHub: Silicon Roundabout). Bang in the middle of London's Silicon Roundabout, we were among developers, entrepreneurs, events, angels, and investors in early stage tech capital. We accelerated our progress; networking, ramping up, hanging with the cool kids, knocking back beers and eating stacks of pizza… exciting times.
Team buildabrand: Work hard, bowl harder
Loads of fun, loads of photos. Take a peek at some of the night's highlights inside…
One Developer's take on Technology and Innovation
Work at buildabrand keeps intensifying, leading us to maintain our hunt for creative engineers that are interested in building truly innovative technology. As many of you know, the London tech sector (Silicon Roundabout) has been rapidly growing, which has us thinking about our relationship to Silicon Valley and the idea of technology innovation. Being a developer myself, I felt it was time to add my two cents to the online debate.
Probably the Best Intern Application in the World! Ever!
We love this! It's Friday and we have received probably the best Intern application in the world! Ever! It's brilliant, it's genius, it's awesome.
Simplicity Is Not Easy
The funny thing about working here at buildabrand ltd. is being involved in engineering something so simply understood that no-one realises what fantastic challenges we overcome to make it happen.

When is the 40 hour show?
Printable View
When is the 40 hour show?
The first weekend in October. It starts at 8am on the 1st and goes till 40 hours later.
Is it still going to be released in a podcast, in separate parts at least.
I don't believe so since it will be live. It should be available to watch later on Ustream since Lou usually records his broadcasts.
Sure hope he is doing guest hosts while he catches a few winks. Worry about him.
I can't imagine even Lou staying up that long, lol. At some point it seems like his exhaustion would be a damper on the quality of the show. But, he is Lou Mongello. I guess I wouldn't be too surprised if he surprised me.

AN estimated crowd of close to 1000 people were drawn to the Portland Classic Auto Club's inaugural Show 'n' Shine on Saturday.
Club president Craig Dennert said it was a fantastic event and planning was already under way to make next year's much bigger.
"Everyone enjoyed themselves, it is our first one and we will plan to continue it and hopefully double the amount of vehicles for next year," Mr Dennert said.
The event attracted 108 different vehicles, with Barry Bartlett winning the Shannon's Choice trophy for his 1934 Ford Roadster and Peter Ranson winning the Shannon's Portland Councillor trophy with his 1956 Ford F100.

Microsoft takes shot at Siri in new ad
Microsoft's Cortana voice assistant is an impressive addition to the company's Windows Phone software, and while Siri's update in iOS 8 will likely give Apple's digital gal the edge once again, Cortana has the lead at the moment. Microsoft decided to take advantage of its current "window" of superiority by releasing a new ad mocking the less impressive Siri.
The clip "compares" Siri and Cortana by showing a couple of Cortana's new abilities that Apple has yet to add to its assistant. Cortana shows off her skills at sussing out complicated directives involving names of contacts and specific places, while Siri admits her inferiority.
There's no denying that, at least for the moment, Cortana is a good deal more powerful than the virtual helper living inside the iPhone. Unfortunately for Microsoft, people need to actually own the device before they can use Cortana, and the company still isn't quite sure how to make that happen.

Costa Rica
Earthwatch Institute Expeditions
Earthwatch, a nonprofit organization that does ecologically oriented scientific field research around the globe, has maintained a strong presence in Costa Rica for more than a decade. Travelers who want to do their part to preserve the country's wildlife can join expeditions where they help monitor the nesting cycles and new hatchlings of leatherback sea turtles; study rainforest caterpillars and troops of howler and capuchin monkeys; and conduct field experiments on improving the sustainability of coffee cultivation. Volunteer researchers make their home base at Earthwatch field stations, where they lodge in communal cabins and share meals.
Insider Tip:
Be aware—these expeditions are work trips, not vacations. Although conditions vary, most trips involve long hours, difficult transportation, dirty work, and not much in the way of creature comforts.

Our mission is to reduce the burden of childhood illness on children and their families by providing a "home away from home" while the children are receiving medical care in Kansas City-area hospitals.
When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness, families face emotional distress, financial strains and many other devastating consequences. In addition to attending to the complicated medical needs of their children, families struggle to remain together, maintain their jobs, care for other children or family members, keep up with medical and out-of-pocket expenses, and address the psychosocial effects on their children. Because of Ronald McDonald House Charities, families are not forced to spend their days and nights in a crowded waiting room or in the isolation of expensive hotel rooms. Instead, they come "home" to our Houses and Family Room and find a friendly face, a home-cooked meal, a comfortable bed, a hot shower and a calming place to rejuvenate. Instead of focusing on these worries, families can be near to and provide comfort for their medically fragile child, which studies have shown can have a positive effect on the child's recovery.On any given night, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City serves 67 families. Last year, our Houses and Family Room provided lodging to more than 4,000 families as well as opened our doors to support nearly 64,000 visits from family and friends of in-patients at Children's Mercy Hospital.Sharing your time, talent and financial support provides hope for families facing a medical crisis. Please help us keep families together during their time of need.
To donate, please click here. For information on how to provide a meal or become a volunteer, please click here.
Hope Grows Here is our capital campaign to build a third Ronald McDonald House in Kansas City. Click here to find out more.
Gather your friends, family, co-workers or church members together to cook a meal for our families. This is a wonderful opportunity to get involved as a volunteer at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City. Next year, we will be opening a new House to serve 20 additional families per night. With a fourth location, there will be a need for 365-plus more meals in 2015. Your donation of time, food and energy is essential to our mission to provide a caring, uplifting environment for all of the families staying with RMHC-KC.
How can you help RMHC-KC this holiday season and beyond?
Thank you for helping families stay together! Contact Tara Adler with questions.

Summer Fest: Cucumber Recipes
by Cameron Curtis in In Season, Recipes, July 20th, 2011
It's week three of our season-long garden party, Summer Fest 2011, where we welcome food and garden bloggers to feature garden-to-table recipes and tips. We'll help you to enjoy all that this season has to offer. So far, we've delved into eggplants and peaches. This week we're getting creative with cucumbers.
Water-rich and crunchy cukes are the perfect cool-down veggie for hot days. We've seen them in salads all year long but with summer's best in season right now, you can use them in pretty much every part of your meal.
Start with Sandra's five-ingredient Cucumber Yogurt Dip that marinates cucumbers in sour cream, yogurt and Greek seasonings. Serve it with pita chips or, yes, more cucumber slices. You can also try Aarti's Indian-inspired version with fresh mint and make Cucumber Raita.
Cucumbers are a great alternative to crackers or bread. Try topping English cucumbers with smoked salmon and cream cheese like Ellie's Cucumber Cups With Creamy Salmon Whip or Sandra's Shrimp-Stuffed Cucumber Cups.
Feature cucumbers in creamy, cold summer soups. On the sweet side is Tyler's Cold Summer Soup that combines cucumbers and honeydew melon. On the savory side is Emeril's Cold Cucumber Soup that features tarragon and cayenne pepper.
You can even have your cucumbers and drink them, too. Try Bobby's vodka-based Cucumber Cocktail, Guy's Cucumber Margarita or Food Network Magazine's gin-based Cucumber Gimlets (pictured above).
Have a few slices left over? Some say they're great for your skin and reduce redness. Whether you choose to eat them or lay them over your puffy eyes, be sure to pick them up at your local market.
Talk to us: What's your favorite way to eat a cucumber? Tell us in the comments or join the conversation on Twitter at #cookingwith.

It's easy to get complacent when it comes to merchandising bananas — a top-selling item in most produce departments.
But rather than sitting back and letting the product move through its own momentum, successful retailers take advantage of the fruit's popularity to lure customers by maintaining good-sized sets — often complemented by secondary displays — and promoting them often.
"Everyone buys bananas," said Rob Perrottelli, assistant produce manager for Ancona's Market, Ridgefield, Conn. "You'll see more pounds of bananas than anything else."
Ancona's features bananas on ad every couple of months at prices ranging from 49 cents a pound to 3 pounds for $1, compared with a regular price of 79 cents per pound.
A low price catches the consumer's eye, but the store typically experiences only a small sales bump.
"It's a type of item that, even though they're on sale, you can't buy a lot extra because a lot of people won't eat them when they get overripe," Perrottelli said.
Shoppers usually buy as many as they can use in a week, he said.
Perrottelli merchandises bananas on a 4-foot table, and the store also offers some specialty bananas and organic bananas.
"More and more people are getting into organic," he said.
There are no scales in the 158 stores that make up the Berkeley, Calif.-based Grocery Outlet chain, so the stores can't sell bananas by the pound.
"We had to come up with a different way of selling bananas," said Scot Olson, director of produce and floral.
The solution was the 3-pound bag, which is the No. 1-selling item in the produce department. Bananas are the No. 2 category, second only to packaged salads.
Shoppers who don't need 3 pounds of bananas can buy singles at four for $1. The 3-pound bags are $1.99.
Stores typically display the fruit on a 6- by 3-foot end cap, which is covered with foam padding to prevent bruising.
Produce managers often use waterfall displays to get the fruit out of their back rooms, which don't have controlled-atmosphere technology.
Olson also sets up banana tree displays, usually on the cereal aisle or close to the checkout register, to prompt incremental sales.
Many products can be cross-merchandised with bananas.
Ancona's Market merchandises bananas with chocolate banana kits, banana cream kits, banana smoothie kits and strawberry smoothie kits, all of which are merchandised in front of the banana display, Perrottelli said.
Grocery Outlet cross-merchandises bananas with Nilla wafers and California clementines. In early December, Olson was preparing to launch a kiwifruit program by setting up a shipper display of the fruit in front of the bananas.
"That helps sell kiwis," he said.
Sales support
Suppliers offer a number of programs to support retail banana sales.
Dole Fresh Fruit introduced its 366 Ways to Go Bananas campaign Jan. 1, said Bil Goldfield, communications manager for Dole Food Co., Westlake Village, Calif.
The initiative will be supported by a 12-month multimedia marketing effort encompassing a campaign-specific microsite, traditional and digital advertising, sticker program, public relations, social media, and blogger and other third-party partnerships, he said.
Dole also will work with retailers across the country to develop in-store promotions, point-of-sale materials, sampling events and other programs.
Miami-based Banacol Marketing Corp. also will roll out a number of promotions throughout 2012, said Bill Sheridan, executive vice president.
The company likely will have loyalty card programs for consumers and display contests and sales competitions for retailers, he said.
Turbana Corp., Coral Gables, Fla., has many tools to help retailers grow their banana and plantain business, said Bianca Pastor, marketing communications coordinator.
One tool is Hispanic marketing assistance.
"Turbana is a specialist in marketing to the Hispanic community and can be a valuable partner for retailers to help capture the Hispanic market segment," she said.
Another is the firm's ability to offer private label products.
"Offering private-label produce can help a retailer differentiate themselves and is essentially another advertising medium," she said.
Offering Fair Trade-certified bananas is one more way retailers can grow their business, she said.
Merchandising tips
Suppliers also have some useful merchandising suggestions.
Sheridan recommends merchandising bananas prominently in the produce department and implementing a two-color program.
"Making sure you have the right color really helps sell bananas," he said.
"Handle bananas with the care used with fragile eggs and maintain storage temperatures between 56 and 65 (degrees)," he said. "The key to merchandising bananas is to keep a large display full of bananas in a single layer that is prominent throughout the produce department."
Turbana recommends making sure fruit has an attractive yellow skin. To protect against handling damage, display fruit on padded shelves, avoid stacking and monitor and rearrange displays often, Pastor suggested.
The ideal placement for bananas is in high-traffic end cap areas, said Dennis Christou, vice president marketing for Del Monte Fresh Produce, Coral Gables, Fla. Use secondary displays by the checkout counters and/or cereal aisle to increase impulse purchases.
He also suggests cross-merchandising bananas with such items as strawberries, other tropical fruit, cereal, salads, chocolate dips and peanut butter.
"Smoothies are becoming a big part of healthy lifestyles, and bananas make a delicious ingredient for energy-packed smoothies," Christou said.
Editor's note: This piece, by Western correspondent Tom Burfield, first appeared in the February issue of Produce Retailer.

I have been having trouble for a few days with my car "bogging down" on the interstate. Not just a little bogging down--not that often, but when it does it, it's pretty noticeable. Today I was on my way home and it started bogging down and finally was just like it didn't want to go anywhere, slowing down, etc. So I pulled over for a minute. Pretty soon one of the guys I work with came by and he followed me over to my mechanic's place. The car seemed to do "OK" at a slow pace, but if I stepped on the gas a little harder, it would bog again, only not as bad as on the interstate. What do you think? fuel injectors? Fuel pump???? My car is a 1984 Honda w/198,000 mile on it, and no, I can't get another car! Thanks, Beth |
Follow-Up Postings:
198,000 miles... Hmmm... have you checked the fuel filter? It may be full of water. |
A lot of the early 1st and 2nd gen Hondas had problems with the carburetors. I've got a 1981 Honda Civic station wagon that was having similar symptoms (Bogging down when I gave it gas, etc.) I was told the carb was probably shot and to replace it with a Webber (apparently they have a carb kit available for these old Hondas)so I had the Webber carb installed and the difference was night and day. Has more pep, is a lot more responsive, doesnt cough or sputter in the mornings, etc. My Civic has just under 80k miles on it is is a garage queen for the most part (It's in mint show -condition) so if you've got 198k on the original carb, that might be a likely culprit. Could be transmission related as well...? |

Horrible Horrible Horrible, smudges, doesn't last long. You look like a hot mess after 2 hours of this on. Wouldn't buy again.
It was just an ok eye liner, I'd say good if the price was cheaper. I do appreciate that they included a free 'Dior' sharpener and a sponge tip for smudging. However, the pencil itself smudges a little so not completely smudge proof, it is not convenient to use, had to sharp it quite often so it ran out quickly, and over priced for its quality. Seriously, you can easily find a better eyeliner that's wayyy... cheaper in drugstore.
I would never recomend this product to anyone. The pencil is gray, not black. It is so hard, that I have to use a lighter on it to melt it, before i put it on me. I dont want to trow it away, because it was expensive, but i cant wait to get a new, better one from another brand!
Awful product really really terrible. The color is not even black its a medium charcoal grey. Looks very washed out Applies quite difficult and unevenly. On the water line stays on for like 6 minutes and then disappears. And when ever i use it to line my upper lash line it wont stay on more than a hour. Applies so unevenly you really need to drag it back and forth so to get some kind of color pay off.
This greasy liner smuges and the color is too sheer and pale. Unflattering color, faded charcoal, definitely not black!
When I draw a line it leaves little balls/crumbs that look darker than the rest.
I love the colour of this eyeliner and it applies easily (little smudging throughout the day which is a big plus) but its staying power leaves a lot to be desired - especially considering the price. The 2 little lids at either end get kind of annoying too.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i bought this product when i purchased diorshow, the mascara. i really love the mascara but not so much the eyeliner. i find that the crayon liner is quite thick but nevertheless does the job. it smears though when i apply it on, especially on my waterline. like someone else also mentioned it doesn't work too well with oily eyelids either. looks gross. probably won't purchase again.
I really though I was going to get the bang for my buck with this Dior crayon eyeliner for $25. It's really nice and come with two sides, one with the liner and the other end a smudger. It also has a sharpener packaged into the box. I saw the reviews and rushed to Nordstroms to grab the item. It says it's waterproof, which by sure it is! My original MAC eye makeup remover didn't wipe this eyeliner off at all, so I settled buying the Dior Eye Makeup remover.
Because I have oily skin, the eyeliner smeared really easily for me. By the end of the day, I resembled a bit of a panda. I guess little of the eyeliner particles would go all around the place. I was very disappointed... I've stopped using it for awhile now. Sad.
I am typically a dior FAN but I found nothing worth raving about with this particular liner.
I prefer the gel liners from other lines but the idea of having a pencil so I wouldn't have to constantly clean brushes or worry about messing up a line, I tried it.
Going on, the color was hardly black.
Within 20 minutes, it was in the crease of my eye and it only continued to melt all over my face for the rest of the time I had it on which is ironic because it required effort to remove with make-up remover.
Cheaper alternatives go on with the right color and do not run off.
It is the first time I experience a eyeliner which does not melt into the inside corner of my eyes, neither leaves me with the panda look given the humidity of the city I live in.
All right, is not a stay all perfect either, fading to a small degree by the middle of the day and the black is more of a gray tone. Still it is reliable, doesn't let you looking stupid with charcoal in your face.

For immediate release Wednesday, October 8, 2008. Contact Bob Brammer 515-281-6699.
Des Moines. Eli Lilly & Co. will pay $62 million and must change marketing practices under a settlement resolving allegations by state attorneys general that the drug company used unfair and deceptive practices in marketing its anti-psychotic drug called "Zyprexa."
Attorney General Tom Miller said states alleged Eli Lilly illegally marketed the drug for "off-label" uses not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and failed to disclose to health care providers the drug's potential harmful side effects. Physicians are allowed to prescribe drugs for off-label uses, but law prohibits pharmaceutical manufacturers from marketing their products for off-label uses.
Zyprexa was first marketed in 1996 for use by adults with schizophrenia, and the FDA has approved the drug for treatment of acute mixed or manic episodes of bipolar I disorder and maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder. But Zyprexa also has been associated with a high risk of weight gain, hyperglycemia, and diabetes.
"Consumers must be able to rely on claims drug companies make for their products, especially when the drugs come with significant side effects," Miller said. "Consumers' health and safety are at stake, and this demands that drug companies limit their claims to those approved by the FDA."
The states' investigation resulted from Eli Lilly's aggressive marketing campaign called "Viva Zyprexa!" As part of the campaign, Zyprexa was marketed for a number of off-label uses, such as pediatric use, use at high dosage levels, treatment of symptoms rather than diagnosed conditions, and treatment or chemical restraint of elderly patients suffering from dementia. Eli Lilly has faced numerous other public and private legal actions regarding Zyprexa.
- 30 -
Attorneys General for a total of 32 states plus the District of Columbia reached the settlement with Eli Lilly & Co. In addition to the $62 million payment, which will be used for consumer education and litigation by the states, the company must change how it markets Zyprexa and cease promoting Zyprexa's "off-label" uses that are not approved by the FDA. Eli Lilly must not make any false, misleading or deceptive claims regarding Zyprexa in its promotional campaigns. (Details below.)
In Iowa, a lawsuit and a Consent Judgment settling the suit both were filed Tuesday in Polk County District Court in Des Moines. The Consent Judgment, which was entered by District Court Judge Michael Huppert, substantially limits future Eli Lilly promotional efforts for Zyprexa. [Go to lawsuit petition. Go to Consent Judgment.]
The $62 million payment in the settlement is the largest ever multi-state consumer protection-based pharmaceutical settlement, following the $58 million agreement with Merck regarding Merck's product "Vioxx" in May 2008.
The Attorneys General of Illinois and Oregon led the investigation into Eli Lilly's marketing and promotional practices. The participating states in the settlement are: AL, AZ, CA, DE, FL, HI, IL, IN, IA, KS, ME, MD, MA, MI, MO, NE, NV, NJ, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, and the District of Columbia.
The Consent Judgment substantially limits future Eli Lilly & Co. promotional efforts for Zyprexa for a six-year period, extending beyond the patent term for Zyprexa. Requirements include:
Promotional Activities
Dissemination of Medical Information
Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Grants
Payments to Consultants and Speakers
Product Samples
Clinical Research
"Zyprexa" is the brand name for the prescription drug olanzapine. Zyprexa belongs to a class of drugs traditionally used to treat schizophrenia and commonly referred to as "atypical anti-psychotics." When these drugs were first introduced to the market in the 1990s, experts thought that atypical anti-psychotics would be less likely than other drugs to produce side effect symptoms similar to those seen in Parkinson's disease (extrapyramidal symptoms), and motion disorders (tardive dyskinesia), and therefore could be used in long-term treatment of schizophrenia.
While these drugs may reduce the risk of these side-effect symptoms associated with first-generation anti-psychotics, they also produce other dangerous side effects, including weight gain, hyperglycemia, diabetes, cardiovascular complications, an increased risk of mortality in elderly patients with dementia, and other severe conditions.

Solid First Shoe
I bought these for my 12 month old (walking). No problems keeping them on, and she didn't trip on them either. The fur makes them run a little small, so at the end of winter we pulled the fuzz and got a few more months out of them. My only critique is that one strap seemed longer than the other and didn't stay on the heel. Probably just a minor defect in my pair. Otherwise great first pair of shoes.

US Officials Cut Estimate of Recoverable Monterey Shale Oil By 96%
samzenpus posted about 8 months ago | from the I-drink-your-tiny-milkshake dept.
411First time accepted submitter steam_cannon (1881500) writes "The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA.gov) is planning to release a major 96% reserve downgrade to the amount of oil and gas recoverable from the Monterey Shale formation, one of the largest oil/gas reserves in the United States. After several years of intensified exploration the Monterey oil shale play seems to have much less recoverable oil and gas then previously hoped. This is due to multiple factors such as the more complex rippled geology of the shale and over-hyped recovery estimates by investors. By official estimates the Monterey Shale formation makes up 2/3 of the shale reserves in the US and by some estimates 1/3 of all crude reserves in the US. Not a drop in the bucket. Next Month the EIA.gov will be announcing cutting it's estimates for Monterey by 96%. That's a huge blow to the US energy portfolio, trillions of dollars, oil and gas the US might have used for itself or exported. Presently the White House is evaluating making changes to US oil export restrictions so this downgrade may result in changes to US energy policy. As well as have a significant impact on US economy and the economy of California."

About halfway between the Chester and Hull Street Kroger Supermarkets, a new Kroger is about to grow out of the woods on Iron Bridge Road opposite the WaWa near Chesterfield Courthouse.
The new store will mimic Kroger built on the site of the old Cloverleaf Mall.
The 22.6 acre parcel owned by Green Acres of Virginia LLC will include a 113,530 square feet Marketplace store, a covered fueling station and almost 600 parking spaces once developed by Kroger. Included in the site plan filed with the Chesterfield Planning Department is 7,800 square feet of additional retail space.
Although not fully approved by the Planning Department, the Kroger development will close the gap between Greenyard and Courtyard roads leaving little developable land East to Lewis Road.
Kroger Marketplaces offers a large food ready-to-go and food made-to-order; a large wine, cheese and bakery department. Some Kroger stores carry furniture and home goods, but are in the process of replacing the furniture section with clothing.
The site plan has yet to be approved by Chesterfield County and there has been no news of a start or completion date.
In other news, Big Lots will open its new store adjacent to Lowe's on Friday, Feb. 29. In celebration, they will donate $1,500 to Curtis Elementary School.

Spinning Reserve and Energy
Name: Venkat Status: student Grade: 9-12 Country: India Date: Winter 2012-2013
Electrical power is continuously generated at power stations and distributed. If the distributed power is not consumed and at the generation end, power is being continuously generated, what happens to the generated power?
Thank you for an excellent question.
First, consider that power consists of voltage and current. In simple terms, voltage x current = power. When power demand changes with time (such as when many air conditioners or other "loads" are switched on or off) the supplied voltage remains relatively constant while the current changes significantly.
Second, consider energy and power. Energy is required to do mechanical work and can be measured in joules. One joule = one newton meter. Power is the rate at which energy can be produced. Power can be measured in (joules per second) = watts. If you want to lift a 10 newton weight a distance of 100 meters, that will require 10 x 100 = 1000 newton meters of work. If you do this with a machine producing 1 watt of power, it will require 1000/1 = 1000 seconds. If you do the same amount of work with a more powerful machine producing 100 watts of power, it will require 1000/100 = 10 seconds. In these two cases the amount of work done is the same but the time required varies inversely with the power that is used.
Most traditional power plants (excluding solar) rely on rotating mechanical generators. The rotating speed mainly determines the voltage, while current demand from loads causes mechanical drag on the shaft of the machine. As the load current demand changes, this results in varying load on the mechanical generators. With no adjustment of the mechanical driving power, that would tend to cause the generator speed to increase or decrease. That would change the rotating speed, thus the voltage and the frequency of the alternating (AC) voltage. However the speed of the generators are closely controlled to prevent slow variations, and the "inertia" caused by the rotating mass of these rotating machines stores energy. On a very short time scale, the "dynamic" energy storage in the rotating mass of these machines can either absorb or deliver energy; this prevents rapid changes. Thus the voltage produced is nearly constant even as the power and load current is varied. This is the way in which small variations in power demand are accommodated.
Larger changes in power demand are usually a little slower. For this, power utilities (companies that generate the power) typically have different types of power plants.
On one extreme are nuclear plants. These generating plants generate a relatively constant amount of power (and current) which is difficult to change. Typically, nuclear power plants provide the minimum or "baseline" power level which is constantly required. This might be the level which would be used during the middle of a night when most people are sleeping and outdoor temperatures are moderate.
Another type of power plant is one which is powered by natural gas. These can be started up or adjusted or shut down quickly in order to accommodate peak demand variation. These peaks can happen during very hot or very cold weather, or when business is very active. Coal is another fuel which is commonly used. These plants can also be switched on or off but may be slower to change than the natural gas fired plants.
There are also wind and solar plants, which current and power output vary due to weather conditions. Because the available output from these is often unpredictable, they mostly cannot replace other power plants. The best that these plants can do is to reduce the usage of coal or gas fired plants so as to save fuel and exhaust emissions.
In summary, the power that is generated will generally not exceed the power which is demanded. Rather, the current will vary according to demand. This is accomplished with a combination of energy storage (mostly in mechanical inertia) and with power plants which can be started or stopped according to demand.
Please let me know if this answers your questions.

Hi Venkat,
I think you misunderstand how a generator works. A generator (whether a large one in a power station, or a small gasoline powered one) is a device that converts rotational mechanical power, into electrical power. If more electrical power output is required because the electrical load increases, then the mechanical power driving the generator also must be increased. Conversely, if less electrical power is needed from the generator, then less mechanical power is needed to drive the generator.
Most generators (including all generators in power stations) have a feedback control system that controls the amount of mechanical power driving the generator in order to ensure the generator's output power matches the amount of electrical power the load is consuming.
This feedback principle is similar to what happens when a car being driven at a constant speed, suddenly starts going down a hill. Less power is now needed to keep the same speed, so as the car starts to speed up, the driver releases the gas pedal a little to reduce the engine's power and keep the car's speed constant.
The thing to remember is that the amount of mechanical power needed to drive a generator, increases as the generator's electrical output increases, and vice versa. What impressed me as a young guy (many!) years ago, was a demonstration where a small generator was driven by a set of bicycle pedals. The little generator was connected to a number of lamps. When none of the lamps were connected, it was easy to pedal very fast, but as each lamp was connected to the generator, it became harder and harder to pedal. Similarly, as the lights were one by one switched off, it became easier and easier to drive the generator with the pedals. In sort, the amount of electrical power needed to light the lights, was reflected in the amount of leg power needed!
So what happens to the electrical power a generator produces, when the electrical load is reduced? The answer is that the generator becomes easier to turn, and therefore less mechanical power is needed to drive the generator, and it now generates less power to match the requirements of the new (lighter) load.
Regards, Bob Wilson
To start, we need to be clear on the difference between power and energy. It is useful to think in terms of an automobile in this case. We fill the gas tank, and the amount of gasoline in the tank represents how much energy the car can use. We know this intuitively because if we run the car too much, it uses up the energy in the gas tank and we have to refill it. The amount of energy we use over a specific time represents power. In other words, power=energy/time. For cars, we represent this power as horsepower (hp). We may have a car rated at 250hp, but the car does not use this amount of power except when the engine is loaded to its capacity such as when we slam the accelerator pedal to the floor or we have to pull a heavy load. When the car is idling or simply cruising on the highway, it is not using its advertised power of 250hp. In these cases, we know that the gas tank will not empty as quickly as if we run the car full out at 250hp, but we still list the car as, "having 250 horsepower." Similarly, power plants generate power based on how this power is drawn. If the generator is spinning, and there is no load on it, no power flows from the generator. You will still talk of a power plant as a "10 megawatt power generation plant" in the same way you would talk of the horsepower available in your car. However, if there is no load on the generator, no energy is consumed (the gas tank level stays the same).

Relief expected from record gasoline prices
BY FRANCINE KNOWLES email@example.com January 2, 2013 2:04PM
Updated: February 4, 2013 2:46PM
Pain at the pump was its most severe ever in the Chicago area and nationally in 2012, but some relief is expected this year.
The price of unleaded regular in the Chicago area averaged $3.91 a gallon in 2012 — 12 cents a gallon higher than the previous record of $3.79 a gallon set in 2011, according to AAA. For three of the past five years, the average has hit a record. In 2008, the price averaged what was then a record high of $3.45 a gallon, the motor club said.
Nationally, the average was $3.60 a gallon. That surpassed the previous record highs of $3.51 in 2011 and $3.25 in 2008.
Gas prices were driven higher this year by hurricanes, Midwest refinery outages, and tensions in the Middle East, AAA said.
While gas prices are expected to remain elevated in 2013, AAA isn't forecasting record-setting prices.
"AAA expects gas prices in 2013 will be less than 2012 as a result of decreased demand and increased supplies," said AAA spokesman Michael Green.
On Monday, unleaded regular gas in the Chicago area averaged just over $3.42 a gallon, nearly 8 cents less than a year earlier and roughly 17 cents less than a month earlier.
Unleaded regular gas averaged $3.29 a gallon nationally, up nearly 2 cents from a year earlier and down roughly 10 cents from a month earlier.

For many years they moldered in one of the former Riis family homes, until that building was scheduled for demolition in 1946. The owner, who knew little about the former tenant's significance, stumbled across a box of photographs before the wrecking ball started swinging. The box contained 412 glass plates, 161 slides, and 193 paper photos. Fortunately for posterity, the owner tracked down the location of a Riis descendant and carried the box over to the proper Manhattan address. Nobody answered the door, so the bearer of this visual legacy placed it on the doorstep and walked away.

Pamela Anderson's Diplomatic Move for Seals
When Russia banned the import of all harp-seal products from Canada, it wasn't because lawmakers thought that they would get flowers from Pamela Anderson if they did so. But that's certainly not a bad perk.
© Taylor Hill
Pamela found herself in a new role as diplomat this week when she joined PETA Vice President Dan Mathews at the Russian Consulate in New York City, where they met with trade officials to bolster Russia's ban on seal fur from Pamela's native Canada.
"We are very proud that our country joined the U.S., the European Union, and Mexico in refusing to support the shooting and bludgeoning of baby harp seals," said Russia's Deputy Trade Representative Timofey S. Borodin, who along with Senior Consul Sergey Logachev, accepted a bouquet of pink roses from Pamela as thanks for their country's legislation.
© Taylor Hill
Pamela had led an international appeal on PETA's behalf to urge the country to stop supporting the barbaric killing of seals in her native Canada, and it took just one year for Russia to pass the ban. And since Russia had been importing 95 percent of the seal pelts that Canada sold, well, it isn't hard to see what that did to the market for seal fur.
The slaughter suffered another blow when Canadian Sen. Mac Harb introduced legislation to end it. You can help seals by e-mailing Canadian lawmakers and asking them to support this momentous bill.

Pamela you are as much beautiful inside as you are on the outside. I'll never understand how human kind can be so ugly and cruel. Thank You for helping to change this and to change the world one person at a time…You Rock!
I hope that PETA starts an action alert about the killing of up to 70,000 seals that is likely to take place in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The seals are being blamed for low fish stocks which is a problem that is caused by centuries of human fisherman taking everything they could without regard for the future of fish populations. It's another reason to give up fish if you haven't already, and another reason to be ashamed of the way Canada treats it's wildlife.

A thousand monkeys poking at a thousand typewriters might, given enough time, compose the complete works of Shakespeare, but not even such a diligent menagerie could ever script a crueler heartbreak than the one which befell the Toronto Maple Leafs this past Monday night. It was not exactly a tragedy and not exactly a comedy, but more of a vicious joke, as black as humor ever gets. The set-up: seven seasons outside the playoffs, an unexpected run of luck, a shocking comeback from a 3-1 series deficit, a 4-1 lead in the third period of game seven, a scrappy underdog team poised to do the unthinkable and make the second round over the bent backs of a feared League power. It was the beginning of a great, classic sports tale of the sort that could win over even the hardest haters. It was the opening to the story that might have made the Leafs, once more and against all odds, Canada's team. The punch line: three Bruins goals in the last ten minutes, two of them at 6-on-5 in the final heated two, topped off with the overtime winner.
Such a comeback is virtually unheard of in hockey, which despite the speed of its pucks and players tends to be a low-scoring, defensive sport. A three-goal lead with ten minutes remaining is as close to insurmountable as a lead gets; according to one analyst's calculations, one might expect to see a team in such a position lose a game seven once every 159 years- which makes sense, since it's never happened even once before in the entire near-hundred years of the NHL. The Bruins victory, then, is not merely unexpected. It is the realization of something so improbable that it would have been considered functionally impossible, like the sun coming up in the West* or the seas turning yellow. It was like being kicked in the nuts by a unicorn.

I just finished taking off the old studs and insualtion from one wall in the basement. There was a small area that was damp. Couln't see any water other than a different colour on the cement blocks. I think this dampness came through the blocks near the outside downspout. I must tell you that the wall has been up for more than 30 years and the basement has always been dry. Besides working on the outside of the house with a sealer has anyone experienced an inside sealer for the cement walls such as RADON SEAL or some other similar product that has worked well. I know this may only be a band aid but I'm sure there are sealers out there now that do a pretty good job.

Follow-Up Postings:
Don't know about sealers, but you might want to take a look at joists in that area for signs of moisture, which might indicate that water is entering higher up than you think. I worked on a house where the water backup from the 2nd floor gutters got behind the exterior wall up top (older home with no drip edge at roof) and traveled down to the basement. In that case, the water stains were a couple feet above grade, indicating the water wasn't coming from the ground level. Of course, check the grading and extend the gutter spout a couple feet away from the foundation. |
