- Marin records driest year ever in 2013
The topsy-turvy rainy season in Marin is ending on an up note, meaning water supplies for most of the county are in good shape as summer approaches.
"We are in a lot better shape than we were a few months ago," said Libby Pischel, spokeswoman for the county's largest water agency, the Marin Municipal Water District. "The reservoirs have come up nicely."
The year 2013 saw the smallest about of rainfall recorded for a calendar year in Marin: 10.68 inches at Lake Lagunitas, where the water district — which has data dating to 1879 — keeps its official weather gauge. The previous record low was set in 1929 when 19.06 inches of rain fell.
January only had .01 of an inch of rain, another all-time low. And as February began, Marin was in the grips of a full-on drought. There were rumblings of mandated conservation as the district's reservoirs appeared to be heading below 40,000 acre feet, which would have triggered the action on April 1. A 25 percent voluntary cut was implemented by the district.
But on Feb. 2 the rains came. And they kept on coming.
On Feb. 1 the rainfall since July 1, 2013, was stuck at 3.80 inches. Since then an astounding 28.79 inches of rain has been recorded, bringing the total to 32.59 inches.
While not enough to completely wipe out the deficit brought on by the dry early winter — average rainfall for this time of year is a touch beyond 47 inches — it has provided breathing room for the county.
This week the district's reservoirs have 64,578 acre-feet of water, which is 81 percent of capacity. One acre foot is 325,851 gallons. The average for this time of year is 91 percent.
"And people are doing a great job of conserving," Pischel noted.
This year people are using an average of 83.60 gallons of water per day. A year ago it was 102.32 gallons. The district has 190,000 customers between Sausalito and San Rafael.
The district has not lifted its call for a 25 percent voluntary cutback, but that will be looked at in the coming months if more rain arrives.
"Historically, we get 5 to 6 inches from now to July 1," Pischel noted.
In response to the drought, the district started pumping water out of Phoenix Lake, a reserve reservoir. But the practice stopped as rains filled reservoirs, including Phoenix.
In Novato, the North Marin Water District has not implemented mandatory water use restrictions, although it is asking for a voluntary reductions. It has recorded 12.49 inches at its Stafford Lake reservoir since July 1. On average 19.46 inches would have fallen by this time of year.
Some rural water districts in West Marin, which rely largely on groundwater, were set to implement mandatory conservation measures this spring. But plans in one district have been put on hold because of the recent rains. The Stinson Beach County Water District was ready to begin in April and had a communitywide plan in place, but that has been pushed back to May, and might not be implemented then.
"It could be moved back further," said Ed Schmidt, general manager of the Stinson Beach district, which has 726 water hookups. "The board will decide."
The district has logged 25 inches of rain, which is about 80 percent of normal.
"We have caught up a bit and there could be more rain," Schmidt said. "We will have to see."
Diane Henderson of the National Weather Service said more rain before summer is a possibility, but not over the next 10 days.
"We may get some coastal drizzle, but that's about it," said she said. "The spring rains were a pleasant surprise though."

I'm on the fence if I would buy this again, because of the hefty price. I would buy it for the scent alone because I love it so much. It smells comforting- like clean skin, just out if the bath. I also love Korres Body Butter in Guava, which is a similar, comforting scent. I keep the tub on my nightstand and use it on my feet and hands every night. The scent I think helps with sleep as well. The cream itself is nice and moisturizes the skin very well. It's a bit too heavy for summer, so it's best to use in winter.

I got a deluxe sample of this and I fell in love with it. The moisturizing properties were exquisite; super moisturizing but not greasy in the least. I didn't find it to have a scent which I was disappointed with initially but then I grew to like better because then I can put perfume on! The moisture lasted the whole day, not most or part of the day. I have ridiculously dry, eczema covered legs and this was wonderful. If I could afford it I would buy this product only forever.

I swear by this stuff. This is how I get through my winters. I've gone through about 6 tubs of this stuff and use it only in the winter. Since I travel internationally a lot I get mine from the Duty Free and it also helps that I get an employee discount. Sorry ladies. I've tried lower end body butters to try to save money but it just doesn't work like this one. I go through 2 tubs per winter and I also use a regular body lotion I get from a drugstore in conjuction. It is just too expensive to use this alone. I will still keep buying this even though it is expensive because it works.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Acne-prone, Medium Hair: Brunette Eyes: Brown
This cream is amazing! I bought it when I started taking an Isotretinoin drug and the skin on my hands became very thin and sensitive. I would go outside during cold weather (around 5° C) and put my hands into my jeans pockets a few times, and the next day my hands would be covered in scabs where my skin had rubbed against the fabric. It looked awful and nothing seemed to help. Also, the skin on my hands was very dry and old-looking to the point where I was ashamed to show my hands. Then I tried this cream and the problem was gone in three days tops! My skin is hydrated, glowing and smooth. With Isotretinoin any lesion is a huge problem because it takes such a long time to heal. This is truly a miracle product! I've already repurchased twice, because it's the only thing that helps. I will continue using as long as I need to take the drug, and will likely continue next winter because my hands are very sensitive to cold temperatures (red, chapped skin with brown bands forming from the base of my ring finger to the base of my thumb).

I had three sample packets of this product, and I combined them into a half-ounce jar. It's a nice hand cream during the winter when my skin is constantly dry and cracking due to the mix of outdoor cold and indoor heating. It's very moisturizing, and I do not find it overly greasy. However, the scent is quite a turn-off for me. I rarely find myself reaching for the jar because I don't like the smell.

This is an excellent moisturiser for very dry skin. I don't find it greasy at all; my skin seems to absorb it very quickly, particularly if I first dry brush my skin. The fragrance is a bit stronger than I would like, but it dissipates over time. I apply it before I sleep to allow it to work its magic.

This is the first L'Occitane product I have ever purchased. I had heard great things about their products and was interested in a body moisturizer. I ultimately decided on purchasing the Ultra Rich Body Cream.
The scent is a bit odd to me, but nothing I can't get past. The texture is very creamy but not too thick. The cream absorbs fairly nicely. Probably most importantly, the Ultra Rich Body Cream did moisturize above average. Because of the scent, and richness of the product, I only used it at night.
I was ultimately looking for a cheaper replacement to La Mer's Body Cream. While I do think this product is above average, sadly, I do not think it will suffice. If you haven't ever tried La Mer's Body cream, I think L'Occitane makes a great product here... if you have tried La Mer, you'll be suckered in for hundreds more as this product will not live up.

Overall, this moisturizes pretty well but it leaves a greasy film and I feel the need to wash my hands after I apply it. I'm not particularly a fan of the scent but I don't hate it. It smells a little medicinal to me. I don't like dipping my fingers into the tub to apply it. I used up an entire tub but I won't be repurchasing again in the near future. I might give it another chance down the road because it does moisturize well, especially during winter months.

This was one of the first shea products I tried years ago and I thought it was great. However, after trying some of the other body lotions over the years I've determined this is just not worth it for me. I have patchy eczema dryness and although the smell didn't bother me as much (it does have a strong scent) it feels like it sits on the skin layer rather greasily and has a tendency to flake off for me. On particularly sensitive skin, this product could actually make you feel worse causing redness I think possibly due to too much scent.
For quicker absorbing, more pleasant moisturizer for sensitive dry skin I would recommend the almond-milk line for this brand instead.

James Sullivan Named ER Chief
SOUTHBRIDGE, Mass. - Oct. 14, 2010 - Dr. James J. Sullivan Jr. has been named Chief of the Emergency Care Center and Emergency Medicine Service at Harrington HealthCare System. The Emergency Medicine physician will be in charge of the Emergency Departments in Southbridge at Harrington Hospital and in Webster at Harrington HealthCare at Hubbard.
Then, by the end of the year, the military physician will be deployed as an Emergency Medicine doctor with the U.S. Military in Afghanistan for approximately one year. Sullivan is in the Active Navy Reserve.
"We are extremely pleased that we have recruited a physician of Jim's caliber to head the Emergency Care Center on both our Southbridge and Webster campuses," said Ed Moore, President and CEO of Harrington HealthCare System. "Despite Jim's lengthy stay in Afghanistan, we are holding the position of Chief of our Emergency Care Center open for him on his return from overseas duty. We are all praying for Jim's safe and timely return!"
"I am very much looking forward to being a part of the new Emergency Medicine management team and am grateful for the confidence that Ed Moore and the Senior Leadership Team at Harrington Hospital have shown in me," Sullivan said. "I am particularly grateful for their understanding of my involvement with the Navy Reserve. They have been utterly supportive of my mobilization orders."
Sullivan received his Doctorate in Medicine from the Robert Wood Johnson School of Medicine in Camden, N.J. and is an Assistant Professor and Associate Director of the Department of Emergency Medicine at University of Massachusetts Medical School. He is board certified in Emergency Medicine.
Said Moore, "Having a board certified physician as Chief advances our requirement to have all physicians in our Webster Emergency Care Center board certified in Emergency Medicine. Because our Webster campus is an outpatient facility, the state Department of Health will require us to use only board certified physicians by 2012."
Sullivan also has a long record of service in the U.S. Military, and has served as a staff physician with the Department of Emergency Medicine with the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth, Va. He has also served as the attending physician with the U.S. Military Hospital at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait and is a member of the Institutional Review Board at the United States Military Hospital in Kuwait.

Flu and flu jabs
Reviewed by Dr Roger Henderson, GP
What is flu?
Flu viruses can be transmitted to your hands when covering the nose and mouth when sneezing. |
Influenza is a highly contagious virus infection affecting the respiratory system.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms begin after an incubation period of one to four days and include:
- a high temperature up to 390C (1030F)
- headache
- loss of appetite
- muscular aches and pains
- weakness
- exhaustion.
Symptoms often continue for about a week unless there are complications, in which case new symptoms may commence in the second week.
How is it spread?
Flu viruses are transmitted by coughing and sneezing.
Droplets expelled from the mouth and nose can circulate in the atmosphere and reach the respiratory passages of other people. Transmission may also occur through skin contact, particularly through shaking hands because the viruses are even transmitted to the hands when covering the nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing. And since the virus can live for a short period on the skin, frequent washing of the hands is an important preventive measure.
What viruses are responsible?
There are three main types of influenza virus, called A, B and C, although it is usually the type A virus that causes the worst epidemics.
Type C influenza is mild to the extent that it is indistinguishable from a common cold. Type A influenza is usually more debilitating than type B.
How serious is it?
Nationally, some 13 million people are at increased risk of complications from flu, such as bronchitis and pneumonia.
Peaks of winter mortality are closely linked to the pattern of influenza activity and result in an estimated average of 12,000 deaths each year.
Who is most at risk?
The people most at risk are:
- the elderly
- those with chronic respiratory disease such as asthma and chronic bronchitis
- those with chronic heart, kidney, liver or neurological disease
- people with diabetes mellitus
- those with an underactive immune system (immunosuppression) due to disease or treatment
- people in long-stay residential and nursing homes
- pregnant women.
What are the common complications?
Secondary infection with bacterial organisms, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Staphylococcus aureus, can often cause middle ear infections and pneumonia.
In vulnerable people, death from haemorrhage (bleeding) within the lungs, or septicaemia (blood poisoning) may occasionally occur.
Can you avoid it?
Living the life of a hermit would protect you, although being out of social contact for any length of time would reduce immunity to very low levels.
In practice, keeping clear of people who are coughing and sneezing, and washing hands thoroughly can help, although immunisation offers the best chance.
Immunisation against influenza with the flu vaccine is effective and safe.
The World Health Organization recommends the vaccine strains by predicting those viruses most likely to cause outbreaks in any given year.
UK studies show the vaccine reduces complications, cuts hospital admissions by up to 60 per cent and mortality by about 40 per cent, compared with matched controls.
This year vaccination is recommended and will be offered free of charge to:
- anyone over 65 years of age
- adults and children aged over six months with a chronic heart condition
- adults and children aged over six months with chronic respiratory conditions, such as asthma or COPD
- adults and children aged over six months with chronic kidney or liver diseases
- adults and children aged over six months with diabetes
- adults and children aged over six months with chronic neurological diseases
- adults and children aged over six months with an underactive immune system (for example due to conditions such as HIV, or treatments that affect the immune system such as chemotherapy) and those who live with them
- pregnant women
- residents of nursing or residential homes
- carers and healthcare workers who have direct contact with patients
- carers of an elderly or disabled person whose welfare may be at risk if you fall ill
- anyone who may otherwise be at increased risk.
In July 2012 the Department of Health recommended that children aged 2 to 17 years who are otherwise healthy should also be included in the annual flu vaccination programme. This is to help prevent these children getting what can be an unpleasant illness lasting several days, as well as to help reduce the spread of flu to vulnerable friends and relatives, such as grandparents, younger siblings, pregnant women and people with chronic health problems.
The programme will begin in September 2013, when all children who are aged two or three years on the 1st September 2013 will be offered the flu vaccine by their GP. In some parts of the country primary school children aged 4 to 11 years will also be offered the vaccine. These pilots in primary school children are to help establish what will be the most efficient way of giving the vaccine to all children each year. The programme will then gradually be extended each year to include all children up to 16 years of age. Children will be given the new vaccine Fluenz, which is administered by nasal spray. This vaccine has been shown to be more effective than the injected vaccine in healthy children.
Children under two years of age aren't included in the programme because the nasal spray vaccine was shown to cause wheezing in this younger age group. Babies are also likely to be protected indirectly by protecting older children. Children aged between six months and two years who have any of the long-term health conditions listed above will continue to be offered the annual injectable flu vaccine.
Are there any adverse reactions?
Contrary to popular belief, the flu vaccine cannot give you the flu, although it can protect you from it. Adverse reactions are rare and in nearly all cases, mild.
The new nasal spray vaccine for children has very few side effects. The most common is a runny nose for a short time. It has already been used widely in the US for more than 10 years and no safety concerns have so far been raised with it.
What about jabs at work?
Immunisation is highly effective in preventing influenza in working adults. It reduces staff absenteeism and can reduce transmission of flu to vulnerable people.
Responsibility for occupational flu immunisation rests with the employer who can provide it through the occupational health service funded by themselves for their staff.
Vaccines for staff, however, should not be obtained at the expense of vaccines for the at-risk groups.
For typical symptoms the influenza sufferer should rest in bed in a warm, well-ventilated room.
Painkillers, such as paracetamol, ibuprofen or aspirin, can relieve aches and pains and reduce fever. (Aspirin should not be given to children under 16 years of age, unless on the advise of a doctor.)
Plenty of fluids prevent dehydration and steam inhalations can have a soothing effect on the lungs.
There are plenty of cold and flu remedies available over-the-counter that can be helpful for relieving symptoms such as a blocked nose, sore throat or cough. Many of these contain a painkiller in combination with a decongestant or cough medicine. You should get advice from a pharmacist on which are most appropriate for relieving your symptoms. It is important to avoid using more than one that contains paracetamol, because this can easily result in exceeding the maximum recommended dose of paracetamol.
Anyone in the at-risk categories should let their doctor know as soon as symptoms develop, and anyone else who develops complications should do likewise.
The antiviral drugs oseltamivir (Tamiflu) or zanamivir (Relenza) may reduce the severity of an attack if given soon after of the onset of symptoms (within 36 hours for zanamivir and within 48 hours for oseltamivir), but these medicines are only prescribed by GPs to people who are at risk of complications from flu.
Antibiotics will be required if secondary bacterial infection develops. The patient can get out of bed once the fever has abated and build their strength gradually.
When should you call the doctor?
Young, fit, healthy people who are not in the at-risk groups can normally self-treat influenza without calling the doctor. However, the doctor should be notified if:
- complications arise
- or a high fever remains for more than 48 hours despite treatment
- or the patient is in an at-risk group.

Tokyoflash Subway Watch Concept: Underground Map Easily Tells Time
Tokyoflash has got a great track record of turning user-submitted designs into reality. This new concept watch created by Peter Fletcher from the UK looks pretty cool, and if enough of you guys like the design, it could be produced some day.
Peter says that the layout of his concept watch is supposed to remind you of the way that subway maps look. When you push a button, the LCD watch will light up thanks to animated chain links, which will help display the proper time. The first "stop" on the line is the first digit of the current time, and so forth. This seems pretty straightforward and you'd probably get used to reading the time like this quickly enough.
If you like this concept watch and would like to help make it real, head on over to the Tokyoflash Design Blog and vote for it.

AMD Catalyst v12.4 will not support Diablo III
Players are recommended to roll back to the v12.2 drivers.
Diablo III fans are strongly advised against upgrading their AMD graphics card drivers to the latest v12.4 update. According to Omrakos, an AMD support forum agent, the latest drivers are not compatible with Blizzard's mouse-destroying RPG.
There is a massive thread you can follow here. The short is, both v12.3 and v12.4 drivers are not compatible with the game. Those that have already updated are recommended to roll back to the v12.2 drivers which are known to work perfectly with the game.
You can download the v12.2 drivers from here. Users are recommended to perform a 'clean install' before rolling back. This entails using Driver Sweeper to rub all signs of an AMD driver from your PC before installing the driver again.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Presley, a Santa Monica American Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Shorthair for sale in Santa Monica, or seeking a American Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Santa Monica.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Santa Monica already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Santa Monica breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Shorthair breeders who help with American Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Santa Monica paves the way for another one to be saved.

DUAL‐FLO HT high‐temperature, filtration‐control additive is a special modified starch derivative used in FLOPRO NT, and other water‐base systems. When used in conjunction with a bridging agent such as sized calcium carbonate or sized salt, it provides a thin, pliable, easily removed filtercake under high‐temperature conditions.
DUAL‐FLO HT additive is a non‐ionic, acid‐soluble material especially suited for fluids containing salts or ion‐sensitive additives. DUAL‐FLO HT additive acts synergistically with FLO‐VIS* PLUS or FLO‐VIS NT viscosifiers to enhance the low‐shear‐rate viscosity (LSRV) of the FLOPRO NT system.
DUAL‐FLO HT additive is used to reduce fluid loss in the FLOPRO NT system and other water‐base systems. It is highly effective in applications with bottom hole temperature greater than 250°F (121°C). DUAL‐FLO HT additive contributes improved fluid‐loss control and enhanced elevated low‐shear‐rate viscosities compared to conventional fluid‐loss additives. DUAL‐FLO HT additive may be used in freshwater and most brines including seawater, NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, NaBr, CaBr2, ZnBr2 and formate salt systems. DUAL‐FLO HT additive resists calcium contamination over a wide pH range and may be used at temperatures >250°F (121°C).

Mrs. Potts's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and not good with cats.
I am a lovable and friendly girl. I have been looked over for the last year and am looking for a home to call my own. I am 7 years old and love to snuggle, I came from DuPage county shelter and was returned twice due to allergies. I was then slated for euthanasia and rescued by my loving foster family. I would love to be an only cat. I do not mind small dogs. I am ok with older children over the age of 10. I have beautiful green hazel eyes. I enjoy spending time with my foster who I sleep with every night and I also enjoy playing. I love Whiskas cat treats and wet food.
Mrs. Potts is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated against distemper and rabies, combo-tested negative for FIV/Leuk, and treated for all parasites.

More iPod muggings in UK
Back in Febrary we we reported that the "This is London" website was reporting that iPod owners were being targeted by criminals. Today, "The Register UK" is reporting a person was mugged for their iPod.
"West Midlands police have issued a stark warning to iPod users: ditch the white headphones or pay the price.
Fashion-conscious music lovers are apparently being targeted by muggers. The Times tells the sorry tale of 22-year-old language student Roland Baskerville, who lost his 20GB model on the mean streets of Birmingham: "I was walking down the road near to my home when a man who was walking the other way pointed at my headphones."
The thief then asked Baskerville if he was listening to an iPod and, receiving an affirmative answer, he "pulled a knife out and started waving it at me, saying:

An iPod is one of many things (cell phone, PDA, digital camera, cash!) I would not reveal in public unless it was a very safe, high-visibility area, had plenty of people around, etc… Being cautious with personal electronics is nothing new.
But when you find yourself often in more dangerous surroundings, losing the widely-recognized earbuds is smart. Someone here recommended these, and although I don't have an iPod YET (just a PowerBook), they're great. Excellent sound, fold up like glasses for travel (cool!) with an included hard case, sturdy, comfortable (padded headband), not expensive ($39) for the quality, and much nicer to use than earbuds in my opinion. I'm no audiophile but I never expected such bass from compact headphones. Sennheiser PX 100s:

LOL, some dude asked me the same thing and said hand it over! Reached in my jacket pocket and imagine his suprise when I pulled out my shiney new chromed glock with a nice white handle!
Seriously, the average kid in a situation like that would of done the same thing. Its one thing to talk smack about it here but a different story when you the one with a knife/gun in YOUR face. Me? Dude come at me with a knife and he's got a fight on him. A gun? He can have the dam thing. Just hope I never see him again.

Stylescraper, you are a real tough guy !!!
I'm sure you'd do just the same if someone came up and tried to rob you. I know I would, and it ain't weak, stupid, punk or any other name you want to call it. It's the clever thing to do. Fighting a drug crazed thief is at least gonna land you in hospital and at worse give you some nasty disease.
I love my ipod, and I try to keep it well hidden when out on the streets. The streets are mean, and those robbers are keen.
Take care all…....

Seeing Canadian Commercials on American channels
As you flip through TV channels, you may notice that you're seeing Canadian ads on American channels. This is the result of signal substitution.
Signal substitution
Signal substitution is when a distributor temporarily replaces the signal of one TV channel with another channel that's showing the same program at the same time. Usually, an American signal is replaced with a Canadian signal. Sometimes, a Canadian signal from outside your area is replaced with a local signal.
A program that originates in the US may be showing in both Canada and the US at the same time. The Canadian broadcaster airs Canadian ads but the program is the same. So when program substitution occurs, you see Canadian commercials on an American channel.
Reasons for signal substitution
There are a few reasons for allowing signal substitution:
- to protect the rights of broadcasters
When broadcasters buy programs from American and Canadian producers or networks, they pay to have exclusive broadcast rights in certain markets. Signal substitution protects these rights. - to enable TV stations to draw enough advertising dollars
TV services earn most of their revenue from advertising. The advertising rates they can charge depend on the size of their audiences. Without signal substitution, the audience for one show would be split across several stations. This would reduce the size of the audience for each station. With that smaller audience, the TV station couldn't charge as much for advertising. Signal substitution means that local stations keep their local audiences and the advertising dollars that go with those audiences. - to keep advertising dollars in the Canadian market
A lot of the time, an American signal is replaced with a Canadian one. By replacing American ads with Canadian ads, advertising money is generated in the Canadian market.
Signal substitution and TV picture quality
Signal substitution shouldn't affect the quality of your TV picture. This means even if the original signal is replaced with a local Canadian signal, the broadcasting quality should be the same or better.
If you encounter problems
Problems can occur, for example, when:
- a live sports event runs overtime
- a TV station makes a last-minute programming change
- the substituted signal isn't good enough
If you have a problem with signal substitution, contact your distributor directly. You can also contact the CRTC and provide as many details as possible.

Sound Dimension Jamaica Soul Shake Vol. 1 Soul Jazz Records Tracklisting
Information The Sound Dimension were the second most important musical group at Studio One Records (after The Skatalites) and in the late 1960s created the funkiest reggae known to mankind. Featuring a classic line-up that included Jackie Mittoo, Leroy Sibbles, Cedric Brooks, Vin Gordon (A/K/A Don Drummond Jnr), Ernest Ranglin, Leroy ?Horsemouth? Wallace and more, The Sound Dimension literally invented the sound of Reggae with their unique style. During this period they played on hundreds of hits at Studio One with Jamaica?s finest vocalists such as Alton Ellis, John Holt, Larry Marshall, Cornell Campbell, Dennis Brown, Horace Andy, The Heptones, Bob Andy, Marcia Griffiths, Freddie McGregor - to name a few! The name Sound Dimension came from an echo-box machine that Sir Coxsone Dodd bought in England whilst on tour in 1967 with Jackie Mittoo and The Soul Vendors (on one gig they were even supported by Jimi Hendrix!). On returning to Jamaica, the new in-house band were christened The Sound Dimension, and the distinctive double-time echo on the guitar and keyboards that they created has become at the heart of all Reggae music ever since. This is the first ever collection of the music of The Sound Dimension in the world and features a mixture of classic tracks alongside super-rare singles only ever released in Jamaica. |

I've been growing a couple of sea grapes indoors in a sunny window here in PA for the last two years. They have done very well - until about six months ago. They grow leaf buds, and whether small or large, they fail to open. Some of them have just been sitting, not opening, for many weeks. Others have slowly turned black - then a new bud tries to grow off the dying one, until it too dies and turns black. There is no symptom of disease or insects other than this problem. The only thing I can think of is that the roots may be getting crowded - could that cause the leaves to die in the bud? Of course, this is normally not a house plant, so I haven't been able to find any references to something like this online. I'd be grateful for any explanation. |

You might want to go on the Florida forum although this is a native outdoor plant for that warm zone. Is it possible it's a problem with humidity? (not enough) What I read on google sites, the sea grape is easily sprouted directly into the earth so if it grows roots that easily you might be right about the potted roots being crowded. If it can't easily form the smaller water absorbing Another thing, is the window site any sunnier than in previous years (loss of a tree or hard trimmed shrub)? |

While the family of a 6-year-old Justice boy on Friday was tending to the grim task of planning his funeral, the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services said it was investigating allegations of neglect involving the boy's drowning death this week at a Bridgeview pool.
The allegations do not involve the parents, DCFS spokesman Jimmie Whitelow said, declining to say who was being investigated.
Meanwhile, the Illinois Department of Public Health said the Bridgeview Park District had the recommended number of lifeguards on duty when the boy was pulled from the community pool unresponsive.
Michael Duda, of the 8100 block of Concord Lane, was pulled from the pool Tuesday and died Wednesday, officials said.
It is not standard procedure for DCFS to investigate a drowning, Whitelow said, but the agency does so if circumstances merit.
"Only if there are indications that there may have been abuse or neglect," Whitelow said. "So at this particular point, we are investigating allegations of neglect, and they are not against the parents."
Duda was participating in a Justice Park District day camp and was at the Bridgeview pool as part of a regularly scheduled day camp outing, officials said. Asked if one or both park districts were the subject(s) of the DCFS investigation, Whitelow said, "At this point, I'm going to refrain from naming who we are investigating, only to say that it is not the parents."
According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, which oversees public swimming pools statewide, the pool staffing of lifeguards met the minimum recommendation that day.
The code states that "at facilities where lifeguards are required, the following number shall be on duty: One lifeguard per 100 bathers, or 2,000 square feet of water surface area, whichever will result in the smaller number of lifeguards."
"The code is what we go by," health department spokeswoman Melaney Arnold said.
There were three lifeguards on duty Tuesday when Duda was pulled from the water in the shallow end of the pool, and there were 300 bathers on the premises, Bridgeview Police Chief Walter Klimek said.
One lifeguard was stationed in the deep end, one was in the shallow end, and one was a rover, walking around the pool and watching those in the water, Klimek said.
An official at another southwest suburban park district said that one lifeguard per 100 bathers is recommended by the American Red Cross.
Duda's death was caused by accidental drowning, the Cook County Medical Examiner's office ruled after an autopsy on Thursday.
Bridgeview Park District lifeguards were monitoring the pool and Justice day camp staff assisted with administering CPR, according to a release from the Justice Park District.
Bridgeview detectives have been re-interviewing camp counselors and lifeguards, Klimek said. He said there were 10 chaperones for the 73 campers, which he called a "pretty decent" ratio.
A park supervisor in another southwest suburban community said that recommended staffing for camps is usually one counselor for every eight to 10 children.
Bridgeview Park District parks and recreation director Thomas Landek has not returned calls seeking comment. A reporter visited the park district and left messages for him on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Meanwhile, Michael's family is trying to come to grips with his death. Arrangements are pending, a relative said.
At the family's home Friday morning, the boy's father, Adam Duda, slowly shook his head, declined comment and deferred questions to his cousin, Kamil Florczykowski, as the two men stood in the Duda family's garage.
"We're just trying to get through this. We're really not ready to say anything at this time. We don't have any arrangements yet. Maybe after the funeral we will make a statement," Florczykowski said.

Sports Betting Odds
Welcome to the Sports Betting Odds section of Sports Bet Listings. On this page you will find as a quick explanation of the different odd formats with links to more detailed pages for each style of betting odds, as well as links to our various live sports odds pages.
How Sports Betting Odds Work
The sports betting odds (also known as lines) are the most important factor when deciding if you want to place a wager on a specific outcome. In general, the less likely the outcome, the higher the potential payout and vice versa. Value is found in betting lines where you feel the likelihood of the outcome occurring is greater than the odds and potential payout suggest. In order to find these good value betting lines you first need to understand how to read sports betting odds and that is where we come in.
There are three styles of sports betting odds. The American style is the most common odds format used in North America, while the decimal odds style is the most common form used in Europe. The fractional odds format isn't very common anymore, but it is the easiest for verbalizing odds (eg. 2 to 1). Below you will find a short description of each odds format. Click on the links to visit the more detailed dedicated pages.
American Odds – This is the most common odds format used by North American bettors. It involves positive (+) or negative (-) signs indicating whether the potential payout will be greater than or less than the wager amount. Positive (+) signs indicate the payout will be more (used for underdogs), while negative (-) signs indicate the payout will be less (used for favourites). A number greater than 100 is then displayed beside the sign. Beside positive (+) signs the number indicates how much a $100 wager would win and beside negative (-) signs the number indicates how much must be wagered to win $100.
Decimal Odds – This odds format is the easiest to use for calculating the potential payout of a wager. The number beside an outcome (eg. 2.65) is multiplied by the amount wagered to find the total potential payout. To calculate the winnings you then simply subtract the amount wagered from the potential payout.
Fractional Odds – This odds format is the easiest to verbalize and is easy to understand when the odds can be simplified. The numerator (top number) is the amount you will win by wagering the denominator (bottom number). For example, 3/2 fractional odds mean that a wager of $2 will win you $3 for a total payout of $5.

Lucy Shuker has reached her second Australian Open doubles final as she recorded a straight sets wins with Dutch partner Marjolein Buis at Melbourne Park.
Second seeds Shuker and Buis came from 3-2 down in the opening set of their semi-final against Sabine Ellerbrock of Germany and Sharon Walraven of the Netherlands before finally making a string of set points count and took what proved to be a decisive 5-3 lead in the second set en route to wrapping up a 7-5, 6-3 victory.
Shuker and Buis will face Dutch top seeds and Wimbledon champions Jiske Griffioen and Aniek van Koot in Friday's final as Shuker, also a former finalist at Wimbledon, bids for her first Grand Slam title.
Shuker's doubles semi-final victory brought some recompense for her earlier women's singles semi-final loss to world No. 4 Ellerbrock. Despite Shuker putting up a great effort in her first Australian Open semi-final, Ellerbrock eventually edged to a 7-6(1), 7-5 victory.
Andy Lapthorne faces a crucial final round robin-robin match on Friday in Melbourne if he is to reach his second Grand Slam quad singles final after a tremendous comeback by the Brit ended in a narrow loss to American world No. 1 David Wagner
World No. 4 Lapthorne came back from 4-0 down against world No. 1 David Wagner to level the opening set of their match at 5-5 before Wagner eventually snatched the set 7-5. However, Lapthorne raced through the second set and pushed Wagner close in the decider before the American eventually clinched a 7-5, 1-6, 6-4 victory.
With Lapthorne having beaten American Nick Taylor in his opening match on Wednesday and Taylor having subsequently beaten Sweden's world No. 5 Hard, Lapthorne will now face Hard in his final round-robin match, having beaten the Swedish player in a similar scenario last weekend to win the Melbourne Open title.View the wheelchair tennis draw here.
Novak Djokovic produced the display of day 11 as he powered past David Ferrer to reach his fourth final in Melbourne. The top seeded Serb was dominant in all areas and completed a 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 victory after just an hour and 29 minutes.
Defending champion Victoria Azarenka squandered five match points against young American Sloane Stephens before converting her sixth to win 6-1, 6-4 and book her place in the final. Li Na will face Azarenka on Saturday after producing a wonderful display against Maria Sharapova winning 6-2, 6-2.
Five-time former Champions Bob and Mike Bryan moved into the final of the Men's doubles with a three set defeat of Italians Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini. The American twins will face face surprise finalists Robin Haase and Igot Sijsling as the Dutch team defeated Barclays ATP World Tour Finals winners Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez 7-5, 6-4.

[1544] Viral Hepatitis Is Associated with a Distinct Subtype of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Characterized by Cholangiolar Differentiation and N-Cadherin Expression.
Yung-Ming Jeng. National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan
Background: Viral hepatitis-associated intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is thought to have common disease processes with hepatocellular carcinoma, but until now there has been no morphological or molecular evidence to support this hypothesis. The study was performed to identify distinct clinicopathological and molecular characteristics of viral hepatitis-associated intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
Design: From 2000 to 2010, 170 patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who received detailed pathological assessment and regular follow-up at the National Taiwan University Hospital were selected for this study. Immunophenotypic features were examined by immunohistochemical stain. Detection of K-ras and BRAF gene mutation was performed by polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing.
Results: Of 170 ICC diagnosed between 2000 and 2010 in Taiwan, 69 (40.6%) were positive for hepatitis B and/or C virus. These patients were younger, were more frequently male, and had elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein levels as compared with seronegative ICC patients. Grossly these tumors were mostly of the mass-forming type, and histologically cholangiolar differentiation was more frequently seen. We identified N-cadherin as an immunohistochemical marker strongly associated with hepatitis virus infection. The prevalence of viral hepatitis in patients with N-cadherin-positive ICC was 70.9%; that in N-cadherin-negative patients was only 33%. N-cadherin-positive patients were younger, had elevated AFP, and had no hepatolithiasis. All N-cadherin-positive ICCs were of the mass-forming type. N-cadherin positivity was strongly associated with cholangiolar morphology and lack of carcinoembryonic antigen and Muc-2 expression, while K-RAS mutations were less frequent.
Conclusions: A subgroup of ICC characterized by cholangiolar differentiation and N-cadherin expression is strongly associated with viral hepatitis.

Hope Floor LampPin It Houzz |
. |
Related Info Tools |
Design by Paolo Rizzatto and Francisco Gomez Paz, 2010.
Rationalization of materials and a visual lightness were the inspiration in creating Hope. It's polycarbonate petals are actually formed by Fresnel lenses that optimize reflection and refraction which enhance the luminous effect.
Hope renews the fascination of the crystal chandelier in a floor model. A series of thin polycarbonate Fresnel lenses, created using imprinted microprisms on polycarbonate film to achieve a dioptric effect similar to glass (without the limitations in terms of space, thickness and weight), multiply the light from the light source. The lenses are attached with injection-molded polycarbonate twigs to the polished stainless steel stem and base. In-line dimmer switch is located on the cord.

Unique collab between Theo and FACTORY900
For the first time, the Belgian eyewear label Theo and the Japanese label FACTORY900 will be jointly releasing two models in a limited edition
FACTORY900 is a small, practically artisanal Japanese manufacturer with a highly original technique for giving volume to plastic frames. Whereas the traditional technique involves adhering multiple plates of plastic to create volume, FACTORY900 is able to shape the standard plates in moulds and then finish them on a 5-axis CNC milling machine. theo simply fell in love with this technique.
The 'Onassis'-glasses and similar 'wrap around' frames were the point of departure. Beautiful, but deadly. That's because peripheral vision is blocked almost completely. In fact, driving in these glasses should be against the law. And since theo thinks it's pretty useful to be able to see other vehicles out of the corner of your eye, the sides of these frames have been left open.
Patrick Hoet got to work and designed 2 models. Kamikaze, a forceful, rectilinear men's model and Samurai, a more rounded women's model. Many kamikaze pilots believed that dying for Japan and their emperor was very honourable. They saw themselves much like the samurai of the Middle Ages, brave Japanese warriors. These 2 Japanese words need no translation as they are common in many other languages. The frames are made from gorgeous Japanese acetate. The style is contemporary but they could certainly hold their own in the future! Good-looking frames that let you look left and right. Each model comes in 8 colours.

Product Details
Laban specialises in pens made from precious metals, using cutting edge technology combined with old world craftsmanship. This particular model features an attractive silver-lined effect on both the cap and the barrel.
Key Features
- Made from 925 sterling silver
- It takes international size ink cartridges
- 1 year guarantee
- Can be fitted with a Waterman fountain pen converter for use with bottled ink
- Fitted with one black ink cartridge
- Laban-branded gift box
First impressions of the pen were very good but, on taking the pen out of its box, the enclosed ink cassette rattled inside the pen body and proved fiddly to remove. The pen must have originally been just stamped "925" and has subsequently been submitted to the London Assay Office (LAO) for laser hallmarking. This is unfortunate since the feint hallmark applied (at right angles to the original "925") is not "3D Laser" (a deeper, more elegant style) and repeats the "925". The pen would have looked better without the original "925" or without the LAO's extra "925" symbol.

- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a River Falls breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer breeders who help with Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in River Falls paves the way for another one to be saved.

Behind the Pain: Causes & Treatments of Diabetic Neuropathy
In response to the significant number of questions and concerns we have received from our readers about neuropathy, this article attempts to offer the most up-to-date information available about what neuropathy is, what causes it, and what kinds of treatment are available. Information was gathered from a number of sources, including medical literature, interviews with physicians, and reports from you, our readers, describing your experiences.
What is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy is one of the three most common complications suffered by people with diabetes (along with retinopathy and nephropathy). As its name implies, neuropathy effects the nervous system. The nervous system of the body is roughly analogous to the electrical system of a house. The two major types of neuropathy correspond to the two major components of the nervous system: the autonomic nervous system and the sympathetic nervous system.
The autonomic nervous system is analogous to an electric generator. It controls all of the automatic functions in the body (i.e., things the body does without conscious effort, like breathing and blood circulation). Autonomic neuropathy, or damage to the autonomic nervous system, therefore becomes evident through symptoms of damage to major bodily functions controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
