Buckles - we have selected one of the most secure buckles on the market to ensure your safety and comfort. These metal buckles are designed for strength, safety and ease of use.
Bolsters - why carry around unnecessary bulky bolsters when you can use the Hyperbaric Dive with its inflatable bolsters that are an integrated part of the chamber? These bolsters are used to inflate with the same compressor and hose to inflate the chamber. The bolsters can be quickly deflated for easy storage or transport
Compressor - Ultra quiet motors provide patented sound suppression permiting a restful and relaxing treatment. These highly compact motors are designed for continuous operation providing you with a long lasting solution to your hyperbaric pressurization needs. These motors are small and compact making for easy transport. In addition they bost a post filtration capability of .003 microns and a pre filtration filter to protect the inner components.
Frame -Light weight, highly durable plastic frame to prevent exposure to metal and toxic materials. Easily assembled and disassembled so that your chamber can travel with you wherever you go. The American Dive features a durable yet, collapsable external frame as can be seen in our pictures and videos
Gauge - An industry leading gauge providing highly accurate readings of your pressure to ensure safe operation. This gauge is so sensitive it can measure down to the individual millibars which are a fraction of 1 PSI.
Mattress - Custom fit contoured mattress with top layer memory foam for added comfort.
PVC Coated Nylon - the chamber is made out of a highly translucent white material that provides for a bright ambiance inside. You can easily read or do any other work within the chamber by using the normal room lighting
Calibrated Pressure Relief Valves - These valves come pre-calibrated from the factory. They are designed to open in response to the building pressure inside of the chamber. As the pressure increases inside of the chamber, the tension of the valve is overcome and air is able to flow freely through the valve. Calibrated to open and maintain pressure at 4.3 psig above atomspheric pressure. Each chamber is equiped with more than one valve for increased air flow and as a redundant safety feature.
Windows - All chambers excepting the American Dive offer a triple layer window design: one firm acrylic layer sandwiched between two vinyl layers to ensure a long lasting permanent seal. The American Dive features a thicker acrylic window held in place via a powder coated steal frame.
Dual Zipper System - An internal air tight zipper securely seals the air pressure inside the chamber without the need of massaging or manipulating a seal. The force applied to the air tight inner zipper is transfered to a heavier guage outer zipper and material to ensure the integrity of the chamber is maintained.

So how do all of you handle the holidays and entertaining in a small house? We always make room for a floor to ceiling tree then squeeze ourselves into the LR come Christmas Morning. A wreath on the door and Mantle and DR table decorations and that is about it. How much decorating do you do?
We used to have about 20-24 people for the holidays when the kids were little and set up banquet tables in the LR but we have much smaller gatherings now and manage to fit around the DR table. How many do you have for dinner and do you have any tricks for squeezing everyone in comfortably? pm2 |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, my house is definitely in the everyone considers it small category,(1350 sqft), and I thinned out the decorations when we moved here. I gave a lot of sentimental things to the children. The grandkids love having these decorative hand-me-downs, and like the stories associated with many of them. I dumped the trashy stuff. Then over the last couple of years, I have combed the whole collection of holiday decorations pitching or donating anything that just didn't "fit in". So now during the holidays our place is nice and cheerful,and traditional in the sense it doesn't change much. It's truly pretty, I think, if a bit more understated than when I was younger. We bring in greens for the stairway, and wreaths for the door. A holiday cloth and some candles and flowers for the table. I have a huge nativity set, which gets sort of scattered around the house. The main set is upon the mantle, but the camels and kings are upstairs on a shelf in the hall by the landing, and the shepherds are with flowers on a table by the front door... We do no entertaining for buisness purposes, but lately what with extended family, the number of guests seems to increase every year, so far we just set up extra tables and chairs and squeeze in. The food is good and we like each other. |

Merry...we haven't moved at all in over 20 years in our house, but when our last child started college, we did clean out the decorations too. We have not started giving any to the children yet and we continue to buy one new special ornament a year for our tree. It is pretty full but we lose a few every once in awhile too. We have started using a smaller tree. We live in a cape and the first floor ceilings are less than 8ft, so we always have to shop for a medium size tree. The last few years, we have started buying smaller trees and we all are much happier with that. We also do a wreath on the door and decorate the mantel, a table in the LR near the front door, and something on the DR table. We also hang stockings on the mantel and have Christmas designed kitchen towels and pot holders. We do not do any holiday decorating outdoors except for the wreath. Our neighbor across the street does enough for the whole neighborhood. [g] I was considering putting up some snowflakes on our front window this year if I can find some. I have fond memories of my mother doing window stencils on our windows with us when we were small. Our dining room can just about fit 6 people comfortably but we are open to the kitchen and have 4 stools at the counter if we need to make room. When the kids were small we used to have a larger group of extended family here for Thanksgiving and would have to set up 3 folding tables with chairs in the living room in an L shape. It was a big production, believe me. Christmas we would do a lot less because with the tree and gifts there was no room to set up in there. It was always a great time together. Your home sounds very welcoming and warm, merryann and I hope you have another wonderful holiday! Thanks for sharing. :-) |

I live in a small Cape with low ceilings as well (it's an antique reproduction.) I have two small boys at home, and the elder of the two (6 years old) has the decorating bug at every holiday. Too much is never enough as far as he's concerned. Because of our small space, however, I've had to rein him in! I decorate the mantle, and buy a medium sized tree each year for a small alcove at the end of the livingroom. I have two large, round antique mirrors in the livingroom and I drape the tops of those with holly. I also decorate the center of our dining table. About this table: we have an open floor plan, so this is the only dining table in the house. I opted to give away my old rectangular table and replace it with a 60" round table that seats up to 8 comfortably. Because the round shape creates better flow/more space around it, I can add a card table to accomodate more people when I need to. We entertain quite a bit, and this has worked well for us. |

crystal...that round table sounds really good! Our DR table is the only 'dining' table in the house too. Not sure I have room for a round table, but I am going to get out the measuring tape. [g] We are actually overdue for a new table. That is so funny that your son loves the Chrisitmas decorating. I had a neighbor whose husband was the one in the family who is so crazy about Christmas..actually all the holidays and decorates a lot. It is great that he enjoys it so much. pm2 |

A couple of weeks ago I was looking around the living room in the annual quest for a location for the Christmas tree in my small, crowded living room. (If only I didn't have the piano. Why DO I still have the piano? I bought it 30 years ago promising myself I would take lessons, but I never did.) So I put an ad in the paper, sold the spinet a couple of days later for $300, and now I have a great space for the tree. |
- Posted by prairiemoon2 (My Page) on Thu, Dec 6, 07 at 6:23
Wow, that was certainly a change, roselady. I don't think you are the only one who has done that. I wonder how many people who have a piano in the house actually use it. You really have to have a fairly large house to have a piano. We had a baby grand when I was growing up and I did learn to play, but the next time we moved, we didn't have room for it and had to sell it. Someone certainly found a nice Christmas present for what sounds like a nice price. :-) And now you have more room in your Living Room. What are you going to do with it when the tree comes down? We have two positions for our tree. Our living room dimensions are such that our furniture will fit two ways only and we only like one of those configurations. I used to love to move the furniture around a couple of times a year in previous houses. So I miss that. You do get tired of seeing it in the same place all the time. But both positions for the Christmas tree work out well. In one position,it really upsets the seating though, so this year, we are going back to the second position, which actually places it right in the path from the Front Door to the Dining Room. But there is room for it and it leaves the seating arrangement intact. We will have to take a large table that is on that wall and put it in the basement until after the holiday though. Happy decorating in your new space! |
- Posted by nwroselady (My Page) on Thu, Dec 6, 07 at 23:30
Actually, the tree is going in the space the piano occupied. After Christmas, I think I'll try shifting one of the upholstered rockers back a couple of feet, but otherwise leaving that space empty. I'm not very good about "negative space", and tend to rush into filling all available walls and corners. This time I'm planning to practice "less is more". It might make the room seem more spacious. |

We designed, and we built, our little house such that it might satisfy our goal of being the "perfect" retirement house, perhaps our last house. One of our requirements was to FINALLY have 10 ft ceilings so that we could have a 9 ft Christmas tree. Of course, we had to have complimentary 8 ft doors and 8 ft windows. I took this photo from the kitchen area, which is to the left, and there's a French door that goes out into the side porch (our BBQ grille location). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/WillieNunez/RoofAugustaLakeXmas042.jpg |

Italian bond yields are spiking. U.S. stocks are tumbling, and fears of a global financial meltdown are rising. Here is my pal Ryan Avent of the Economist:
The euro zone is in a death spiral. Markets are abandoning the periphery, including Italy, which is the world's 8th largest economy and 3rd largest bond market. This is triggering margin calls and leading banks to pull credit from the European market. This, in turn, is damaging the European economy, which is already being squeezed by the austerity programmes adopted in every large euro-zone economy. A weakening economy will damage revenues, undermining efforts at fiscal consolidation, further driving away investors and potentially triggering more austerity. The cycle will continue until something breaks. Eventually, one economy or another will face a true bank run and severe capital flight and will be forced to adopt capital controls. At that point, it will effectively be out of the euro area. What happens next isn't clear, but it's unlikely to be pretty.
Can this cycle be interrupted? I think so. I think that an ECB guarantee to backstop sovereign debt, coupled with massive purchases to establish credibility and a substantial easing in monetary policy, could change the dynamic, particularly if quickly followed up with a major fiscal commitment from core economies to support bail-out efforts and invest in peripheral economies while peripheral economies focus on substantial labour market, public-sector, and tax reforms. How likely does all of that sound? Could the ECB even commit to the above bold actions without facing debilitating criticism, and perhaps intervention, from national governments?
And little of this analysis from IHS Global insight will make him or you feel any better (bold is mine.):
1. We continue to assume there is no bailout for Italy because of its size. But we argue Italy appears to be less vulnerable than Portugal and Ireland before they admitted defeat and asked for financial assistance.
2. We believe Italy has more time and can endure several quarters of expensive debt auctions. However, we accept the risks to solvency have risen appreciably since the focus switched to Italy in early July.
3. Although rising bond yields will not affect Italy's current debt structure as most of the public debt is held under fixed interest rates, it will be an increasing burden on the economy with Italy facing a prolonged period of heavy financing needs as its public debt ratio peaks at just over 120 percent of GDP. Given that the average yield on current government debt stands at 4.125 percent, bond yields higher than 7 percent would present a significant jump in the cost of rolling over sovereign debt in the next few years.
4. The outlook for Italy has worsened steadily, with the latest economic data and survey evidence suggesting the economy is sliding towards a recession in early 2012. Therefore, real GDP is projected to grow by just 0.6 percent in 2011 before contracting by 0.5 percent (revised down from a drop of 0.2 percent) in 2012 in the yet to be released November forecast. The more challenging economic backdrop is a significant risk to the government's flagship goal of eradicating the public-sector budget deficit by 2013, especially with the official fiscal projections based on seemingly optimistic real GDP growth forecasts of 0.7 percent in 2011 and 0.6 percent in 2012.
5. A key risk is that the government expects a marked improvement in the primary budget surplus (general government budget balance minus interest expenditure) in 2012/13, with modest but continued growth helping to reinforce the impact of latest fiscal tightening measures. According to the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the primary budget surplus is expected to grow from an estimated 0.9 percent of GDP in 2011 to 3.7 percent in 2012 and 5.4 percent in 2013, which could be derailed should a stalled economic recovery strangle the projected growth in tax receipts.
6. Italian financial investors, who under normal circumstances are the main buyers of Italian government debt, are under pressure to limit their exposure, which could contribute to the vacuum in which bond yields have risen (bond prices have fallen). This can ignite a dangerous downward cycle of deteriorating sovereign and bank credit quality. The Bank of Italy reports that 33 percent of Italian government debt was held by Italian financial institutions in the first quarter of 2011, with roughly 18 percent held by domestic banks and the remaining 15 percent in the hands of the other financial institutions.
7. Clearly, bond yields need to fall to more sustainable levels, but this will require Italy launching an aggressive growth-boosting reform agenda. … However, the political outlook remains confused. After appearing to lose his parliamentary majority, Berlusconi has agreed to stand down after introducing structural economic reforms to parliament in mid-November. However, the danger of course is the potential for weeks of dysfunctional politics that settles nothing before elections are forced in February. In that worst-case scenario the elections could return a weak coalition government that will then have to tackle entrenched trade unions to implement austerity measures.

Ask Slashdot: Preparing For Windows XP EOL?
timothy posted about 10 months ago | from the stock-up-like-y2k dept.
423An anonymous reader writes "As most of us working in IT may know, Microsoft will stop supporting Windows XP on April 8th, 2014. Although this fact has been known for quite some time, XP is still relatively popular in companies and also enjoys noticeable marketshare for home users. Even ATMs are running XP and will continue to do so for some time. A lot of companies/users don't want to change because they see no additional benefit to do a costly upgrade, no reason to change a running system, and they may in some cases be right with their assumptions. So what is the best way to secure this remaining Windows XP systems? Installing the latest security patches, checking firewall status and user permissions etc. should be fairly obvious, as Microsoft Security Essentials may also not receive updates anymore, changing antivirus programs seems a sensible thing to do."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jake!
Facts about Jake
- Breed: Basset Hound/Hound (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Jake's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Jake has an immediate effect on people. First you smile, then you plop down beside him, and then your blood pressure lowers! He's a gentle little guy, approximately 40 pounds, and a joy to have around. He's great with children and other dogs. He doesn't seem to react to cats at all although we've only seen him around cats one time. We rescued him from a shelter and he adapted to a busy foster family without a blink. His companions now are a four year old girl, numerous dogs, a few chickens and pigs, and others! This guy takes everything in stride easily and we think he'd fit in with just about any type of family. To learn more about Jake, please email email@example.com. Jake is fostered in Huntsville, AL.
Other Pets at Friends of Rescue - Marietta Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jake, a Marietta Basset Hound/Hound (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Basset Hound/Hound (Unknown Type) for sale in Marietta, or seeking a Basset Hound/Hound (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Marietta.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Marietta 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 Marietta 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 Basset Hound/Hound (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Basset Hound/Hound (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Marietta paves the way for another one to be saved.

Targeted therapy for thyroid cancer
Researchers have begun to develop newer drugs that specifically target the changes inside cells that cause them to become cancerous. Unlike standard chemotherapy drugs, which work by attacking rapidly growing cells in general (including cancer cells), these drugs attack one or more specific targets on cancer cells.
Targeted drugs for medullary thyroid cancer
Doctors have been especially interested in finding targeted drugs to treat medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) because thyroid hormone-based treatments (including radioactive iodine therapy) are not effective against these cancers.
Vandetanib (Caprelsa®) is a targeted drug taken as a pill once a day. In patients with advanced MTC, vandetanib stops cancers from growing for an average of about 6 months, although it is not yet clear if it can help people live longer.
Some common side effects of vandetanib include diarrhea, rash, nausea, high blood pressure, headache, fatigue, decreased appetite, and belly (abdominal) pain. Rarely, it can also cause serious problems with heart rhythm and infection that can lead to death. Because of its potential side effects, doctors must get special training before they are allowed to prescribe this drug.
Cabozantinib (Cometriq®) is another targeted drug used to treat MTC. It is taken in pill form once a day. In MTC patients, cabozantinib has been shown to help stop cancers from growing for about 7 months longer than a sugar pill. So far, though, it has not been shown to help patients live longer.
Common side effects include diarrhea, constipation, belly pain, mouth sores, decreased appetite, nausea, weight loss, fatigue, high blood pressure, loss of hair color, and hand-foot syndrome (redness, pain, and swelling of the hands and feet). Rarely, this drug can also cause serious side effects, such as severe bleeding and holes in the intestine.
Several other targeted drugs have shown promising early results against MTC as well. Some of these, such as sorafenib (Nexavar®) and sunitinib (Sutent®) are already used to treat other types of cancer. Doctors may try giving these drugs if other treatments, including vandetanib and cabozantinib, aren't helpful.
Targeted drugs for papillary or follicular thyroid cancer
Fortunately, most of these cancers can be treated effectively with surgery and radioactive iodine therapy, so there is less need for other drugs to treat them. But for cancers in which these treatments aren't effective, targeted drugs such as sorafenib, sunitinib, pazopanib (Votrient®), and vandetanib have shown some early promise and may be helpful.
For general information about targeted therapy, see our document Targeted Therapy.

a softer world |
"We gladly feast on those who would subdue us."
I've been working my way through this great list of 101 non-fiction stories over the past couple of days. There are probably some you've come across before in there, but there are bound to be some new ones, too. A chicken in every pot, and an essay on every topic!
I think novels that release editions with movie covers might as well commit and change all the character names to the actor names.
