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 Chilli!
Facts about Chilli
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Chilli's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Chilli is an orange tabby. He is gentle and quiet. He has recently discovered that he likes to be combed, then he's instantly your best friend, purrs and nuzzles. For more information or to adopt, please contact Danni at firstname.lastname@example.com or 973-615-0289.
Other Pets at * Purrfect Pals, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chilli, a East Hanover Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in East Hanover, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in East Hanover.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in East Hanover 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 East Hanover 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in East Hanover paves the way for another one to be saved.

Baltimore Blast News Release -- www.baltimoreblast.com
Saturday, November 12, 2011
BALTIMORE – In the 2011-12 home opener in Baltimore, the Syracuse Silver Knights beat the Baltimore Blast 18-7 to take their third consecutive victory to open the MISL season. In front of 8,078 fans at 1st Mariner Arena, Alex Megson scored a hat trick to lead the Silver Knights, who traveled to Baltimore after defeating the Norfolk SharX, 23-7, on Friday night.
Megson and Andre Berenzon both scored in the first quarter to put the Silver Knights on top early, but then the teams played almost 22 scoreless minutes to end the first half with the Silver Knights still on top, 4-0. The Blast outshot the Silver Knights 16-6 in the first half but were unable to get past the Syracuse defense and goalkeeper Eric Reed.
Berenzon scored his second goal of the night, a 3-pointer at 4:37, to extend Syracuse's lead to 7-0 and then assisted on Megson's second, on a Silver Knights power play, to make it 9-0. Slavisa Ubiparipovic added a goal late in the quarter to make it 11-0.
The Silver Knights' Jeff Hughes scored at the 1:21 mark of the fourth quarter to extend the lead to 13-0 before the Blast finally got on the board through forward Max Ferdinand, answered with a 3-point goal 55 seconds later to end Baltimore's almost 47-minute scoring drought. Defender Mike Lookingland added a goal two minutes later to cut Syracuse's lead to 13-5 and Carlos Garcia cut the deficit to 13-7 at the 9:44 mark as the Blast got back into the game, but the rally came to an end with less than two minutes to play when Danny Hall and Megson both scored into an empty net as Baltimore went to six attackers to clinch the 18-7 victory.
The Blast are 13-7 in season openers since the 1992-93 season and last lost an opener to start the 2009-10 season, when they fell 10-8 Rockford in overtime.
Tickets for all home games are available at www.TicketMaster.com. Blast home games will be available via live webcast at www.baltimoreblast.com (scroll down and click the Watch Live button on the right) and MISLlivesoccer.

It's been said by some that I have ink in my blood having started my career as a newspaper reporter well before the digital dawn. With that in mind, it makes me sentimental and sad to see print publishers fall behind the digital curve and fumble attempts to be digitally relevant, especially with the explosive interest and opportunity in digital commerce. While some publishers believe native advertising might be a way to renew sagging revenue, adding advertorials (which is what this trend has been called for decades) will never offer the upside of digital commerce in its various forms.
I call to the stand Net-A-Porter, a media company who has shattered the somewhat imaginary line between content and commerce. Founded in 2000, and now part of a Swiss-based mega fashion holding company, Net-A-Porter has become the digital bible for fashionstas who want the latest trends to jump off the screen and delivered to their door. The formula is simple: easy navigation, one-click secure purchases and visually compelling images/descriptions that allow simple, personalized comparison shopping. And, not being one to be in the market for women's clothing, the customer service features appear to be in the rarefied air breathed by Amazon and the few others in that particular orbit.
Defying the trend that hints at the slow death of print publications, Net-A-Porter is launching a print magazine, "Porter," featuring Gisele Bundchen on the cover. The magazine will attempt to rival such fashion mag stalwarts as Vogue, Marie Claire and Glamour but with the competitive edge of using the publication as a driver for digital commerce. While, the specific details on how Net-A Porter founder Natalie Massenet and her team hope to pull this off are better served in a future research report, it's worth pointing out a few key take-aways. These are points that are worthy of consideration by digital marketers and social media platforms such as Pinterest and Twitter in search of ways to add digital commerce to their playbooks.
• Most importantly, Net-A-Porter will offer print customers tools such as the ability scan print ads to offer the same ability to efficiently go from content to commerce
• The Net-A-Porter team knows its customers. Research showed that its average website customer purchased four to five print fashion magazines each month.
• For those who still prefer digital over print, the publishers will offer a digital download of its new publication with all the click-to-buy features built in.
• Prior to launching in print, the publisher did a test run of 10,000 copies to determine the feasibility of a full scale launch.
• Given Net-A-Porter wants to cultivate a new advertising revenue stream rather that cannibalize its digital inventory, the publisher has created a print/digital combo ad buy that offers a bundled discount.
Oh, there's plenty more to share, so that's just a teaser. My hope is print publishers are listening and take action before the ink in my blood turns toxic.

Being InterprofessionalISBN: 978-0-7456-4305-2
208 pages
June 2009, Polity
The book encourages students to sharpen their understanding of concepts and theories surrounding collaborative practice, with a clear emphasis on theory, policy and practice. Chapter-by-chapter, the book takes readers through the most important and relevant issues in contemporary health and social care, including working in teams, learning from others, policy issues, working with children and adults, and specialist practice.
Through student-friendly case studies and thoughtful learning exercises, it also considers ways of applying these ideas to the real world. It covers work across the statutory, voluntary and community sectors, drawing on the insights and experiences of a wide range of service users, carers and a variety of practitioners.
Being Interprofessional will be essential reading for students and practitioners in all branches of health and social care, such as nursing, social work, midwifery and youth work. Whatever their background, it will inspire readers to find new ways of working together to meet the needs of patients and clients.

"Throughout the UK, universities are weaving interprofessional
education into undergraduate professional programmes to enable
students to respond positively, purposefully and intelligently to
demands for closer collaboration. Much has been written to help
faculty re-orientate their teaching, less to help students to
re-orientate their learning, none as rigorously as does this book
to help them to become interprofessional and to understand their
obligations to each other, to the public and to society."

The tablets were expected to launch in the UK in March, before being rolled out globally, but it would appear that problems with embedding Samsung's TouchWiz UI on top of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), has forced the Korean electronics manufacturer to push the UK release date back to the end of April.
The tablets have the same configuration except for the screen size. Both tablets have a dual-core 1GHz processor with 1GB of RAM, up to 32GB of on-board storage, a microSD card slot and two cameras. The 7-inch tablet has a 1024 x 600 resolution display, while the 10.1-inch display has a 1280 x 800 resolution.
The 7-inch slate is expected to sell for the equivalent of $350, with pricing on the 10.1-inch tablet still to be announced.

Key Republicans bail on 'Obama-care'; Dems' options narrow
The Democrats are edging toward a go-it-alone approach to legislation. Part 1 of two.
Steve Pope / AP
As key Republicans grow increasingly hostile to President Obama's plans for healthcare reform, the Democrats are edging toward a go-it-alone approach to legislation.
In the Senate, where normal rules require 60 votes out of 100 to halt a filibuster, the Democrats' hopes of passing a bill that way are hanging by a thread. The death of Sen. Edward Kennedy (D) of Massachusetts means the party is down to 59 votes in the Senate. It's still possible a Republican or two could be persuaded to vote with them, but they would still need to hold onto the more conservative Democrats in their caucus, and that's not a sure thing.
It's also possible the Massachusetts legislature will change state law and allow the Democratic governor to appoint an interim senator to fill Senator Kennedy's seat until a replacement can be elected on Jan. 19. That would restore the Democrats' 60-vote majority, but the issue of holding onto the party's moderates would remain.
In recent days, two key Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee have made that panel's bipartisan efforts toward reform look increasingly dubious. An August fundraising letter by Sen. Charles Grassley (R) of Iowa, which has just entered Washington's radar, asks for support in helping him defeat "Obama-care." He likens that to the more liberal versions of reform that have passed panels in the House and Senate, not what he has been working on in his committee. But the language in his letter is so harsh that it seems close to shutting the door on negotiations with Democrats.
"The simple truth is that I am and always have been opposed to the Obama administration's plans to nationalize healthcare," says the letter, a fundraising appeal for Senator Grassley's reelection bid that could include a challenge in the GOP primary.

We moved to Erie in winter from Illinois and are in a new build with 'excavation' soil. I'm going nuts with this 'soil'. It's the worst clay I've ever seen.....I know - everyone says welcome to Colorado! So my question is, how do I amend this? DH built raised beds for my tomatoes and peppers and was sold something called 'topsoil' from an outfit on 287. It seems like more sterile clay to me. How do I get worms into these beds? I had friable, beautiful soil in Illinois - full of worms and humus. I know how to compost but don't want to wait - I need to start a garden. Is there a way to dig in something around the plants - I should have amended it before planting - although I did mix compost into each veggie hole. I just want to dig down a few inches all around the raised beds and also the entire lot and put something in that will get me some worms. Westy 1941 |
Follow-Up Postings:
The bad news: there is no quick fix unless you have tons of money to spend on taking out all the clay and replacing it. Otherwise, it going to take time to build your soil and then maintain it. Think about that rich thick layer of topsoil back in Illinois and how many thousands of years it took to get that way. The good news: There is actually two parts to this. First of all clay is incredibly rich soil despite it's reputation and it hold water amazigly well, which out here with foot or less of precipitation a year, is a great quality. So even if you can afford to take it out, I wouldnt. The second part is that in order to reach those nutrients locked away in the clay its not going to take thousands of years to get soil that will grow a pretty good crop of vegetables. The key here is organic matter. Add lots of it every single year. It will break up and feed the soil, allowing to be looser and softer. That will make it so your plants can easially grow a strong luxurious root system as well allowing them to actually use all the good stuff that is in the clay. As far as worms go I have found no lack of worms in my clay. In fact when i dug some new planting areas a little while ago, there was more worms in the clay then I find in my raised beds. Feed them. A thick layer of straw or leaf mulch over top of your soill will make them happy. especially if you can do it while the ground is fallow such as fall-late spring. Just leave the mulch in place and pull it back several months later and I think you will be surprised with what you find. (the mulch will also help insulate your soil so your worms dont have to burrow so far down in the cold months). Some more good news: you can go ahead and plant WHILE you are doing all of this. Your results will be meager at first, but they will continue to get better and better every year. Good luck and truely. welcome to Colorado! Meybe Ill see you up at the Miners Tavern there in Erie sometime lol. |

Thanks so much for this really helpful info, ZackS! It really helps - you make me feel more positive about the clay. And yes I definitely plan to keep adding - I've always done it every Fall and Spring before planting. My landscaper son is putting in beds soon and he's a fan of many amendments which I used in Illinois. I guess I should get the soil tested but you probably even know what the Ph is since it's everywhere in new subdivisions in Erie (and elsewhere). Cottonburr compost, Alfalfa pellets, bedding straw, well composted horse or steer manure, bat quano, chicken manure, greensand, and my own homemade black gold - I think we've used them all and I plan to do the same here. But you did make me feel better - I know it'll take a few years to get it where I want it. Miner's Tavern? Have to check that one out. I'm more oriented to Lafayette - we're just inside the far Eastern border of Boulder county and a block off Isabelle Road (or Erie Parkway depending on which side of 287). Westy |
Yup, adding organic matter is the trick. When I was younger and more energetic, I'd till stuff in every spring, then after a while I realized it was easier to let the worms do all the work and now I just put down several inches of compost, grass clippings, and what ever else is around as mulch. |
I used to live in Boulder County and my motto was they don't call it Boulder County for no reason. We had giant size boulders with hard packed clay (my DH would get sparks from breaking up the clay). New yard and the previous owner brought a ton of rich soil in (I have no idea where he got it). It's wonderful to put the shovel in and have to contend with that clay. There are a few places at the low part of the yard that do have some nasty clay though. We're having to transplant a Hawthorne tree that's struggling in the clay and will replace it with a "weed" tree - Chokecherry. Between the clay and a cottonwood from the neighbors yard, I need something that might be able to hold it own in such a harsh environment. Your soil will improve over time, but I noticed when we were in Boulder County if the soil wasn't amended each year, the plots started to get pasty the following year. Good luck and truly welcome to Colorado (I grew up in IL - Quad Cities). |
"How do I get worms into these beds?" What I have found to bring in a lot of worms is to bury kitchen scraps. I keep a bucket with a cover outside and dump the scraps into it pretty much every day. When I have an area outside to bury them and the bucket is at least a third full I dig a hole with a sharp shooter shovel. Within 2 weeks there will be hundreds of worms. "We're having to transplant a Hawthorne tree that's struggling in the clay and will replace it with a "weed" tree - Chokecherry" I thought chokeberry was a water intensive tree. I would think twice about planting one here in Aurora. My water bill is high enough. |
Choke cherries grow like weeds. If you plant one you will have thousands and wind up cursing the day you planted it lol. They make great privacy hedges though, and require zero or pretty close to it attention to keep alive. Keeping it well behaved on the other hand is a weekly chore at my house. |

Were in the market of a T210 and have found many have the 400 A/P systems. Are they relieable? Easy to fix? Parts easy to find?
Most of my experience has been with King and STec systems
Re: Cessna 400 Autopilots
I have a 400B in my C310R. It is a great autopilot. Shoots coupled approaches nicely, ties into my GNS 430 with no problem, and it generally is not hard to get repaired. I put about 700 hours a year on my aircraft and in the last six years I have only had it worked on twice. Both times were for less than $1000. Compare that to a Bendix FCS 810 that is my other 310 that I just spent $4600 on at Autopilot Central. I think you will find that most places that work on autopilots, know how to fix the ARC 400. I hear parts are starting to get a little harder to come by.
Re: Cessna 400 Autopilots
I own a Cessna 206 and I want to buy an autopilot for it.
I need your advice in which brands, types are the best for this plane.
Searching I found the Garmin System 55 X and the KAP 140 from Bendix System. ar
But I really apreciatte your advice in wich are the ideal. If you can send me information of models, also where can I find them
Waiting for your soonest reply.
Re: Cessna 400 Autopilots
I have read the information that I can find on the 400 A/P however, I find very little on line. I tried the link but could not access the "article" referred to. I am sure there are a lot of 400's out there, do the convert or easily replaced if significant repairs are needed? Do they couple with GPS systems?

Easily, in that they can be ripped out and replaced with new. Easy... yes. Cheap... No.
Do they couple with GPS systems?
Yes... two ways. Most GPS units can act as an analog nav source - which works fine for tracking a single leg. Alternately you can buy a GPS Steering adapter that will convert a digital signal from a modern WAAS GPS (like Garming 430W) to an analog heading bug signal. This will allow the old A/P to follow any pre-programmed flight path, procedure turns, holds and all.
Re: Cessna 400 Autopilots
I have a 1960 C-210 and have a 400 "Navomatic" system I inherited in a box. There are two control heads, one says 400-A. Where might I find info. on this system as I'm considering rebuilding it for my airplane?
Any info would help.

Re: Cessna 400 Autopilots
I have a 1970 Cessna Skymaster and it has a 400B autopilot. It has a
slight problem of pulling to the right. I need to find an avionics
shop that could repair the unit. All it may need is adjustments but I
can't find anyone that will work on it. I am located in the west Chicago
area. Anyone that could help me with this, please e-mail me. Thanks
Re: Cessna 400 Autopilots
Have a 76 cessna T210 with a 400 a autopilot. Works great except lately from time to time it will suddenly bank over to the right without any input command. It does it even if I just pull out the detent knob to command a left or right turn and leave it in this mode not tracking the heading bug or the GPS. Extremely unnerving in IMC condition. Have spoken to avionics shop and they said probably impossible to find until it goes completely.
any suggestions?
Re: Cessna 400 Autopilots
i HAVE A 400B IFCS AND THE YAW DAMPER WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN SWITCHED ON. THE PROBLEM STARTED GRADUALLY TAKING A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE YAW DAMPER WOULD ENGAGE. i TALKED TO A COUPLE OF AVIONICS GUYS BUT I COULD TELL THEY HAD NO CLUE AND A LARGE BILL FOR DIANOSTICS WOULD FOLLOW. i LIVE IN FLORIDA ANY CLUES?

Blood Pact: Patch 4.2 Warlock Q&A {WoW}
Aug 16th 2011 9:40AM @ThatguyfromNZ
I used the entire raid's DPS because when you figure out how much extra boss health is "tacked on" by not DI-ing a DPS (in my case, an arcane mage) all that remains is to figure out how long it takes your raid to finish off that extra health, not the 1 player. Our raid doesn't stop DPSing and force our mage to kill the boss' 352k health solo just because it isn't their problem
@ Sqtsquish
I see what you're saying, that 1 decision can infer other decisions, but it's speculation on your part. Our raid does focus on things being as optimal as possible, with our comp generally covering all the bases minus pushback protection. I don't think that's too terrible for a 10 man comp that took "Bring the Player Not The Class" to heart and still progresses. I already demonstrated how little this 1 decision affects our boss kills, as a conscious decision... to extrapolate that into us essentially being a collection of half-wits is really just not cool.
On a Baleroc style fight where the DPS are generally quite maxed, we really do average over 100k raid DPS for the duration. The figure of 1224 from the DI chart represents that sort of fight. As raid DPS drops from fights with higher movement and mechanics, the theoretical DPS increase from DI can also drop.
Thanks for articulating another reason my decision isn't fool-hardy, though.
Blood Pact: Patch 4.2 Warlock Q&A {WoW}
Aug 15th 2011 11:43PM @ThatguyfromNZ
I took the DPS gain of 1224, and multiplied it by 300 (The number of seconds in 5 minutes).
This gives us the figure of 367200, or the amount of health the boss would not lose over those 5 minutes if the DI isn't on my arcane mage.
If my raid is capable of 100k DPS total, then it will take my raid somewhere between 3 and 4 seconds to lop off that extra health.
Am I just goofing that up somehow?
Blood Pact: Patch 4.2 Warlock Q&A {WoW}
Aug 15th 2011 9:35PM One final thought on the subject, I suppose.
Most of my opinion on the subject comes from the MMOChamp post by Gherkin, that rates all of the dps increases by class, of DI. In his post he agrees that if you aren't hitting enrage timers there is no pressing reason to give DI to a DPS over a healer.
And some rough napkin math, from my perspective. The chart ranks arcane mages with DI as giving the raid a net of 1224 for a demonology warlock (which we use). That means that over a 5 minute encounter we're giving up a total of 367,200 boss health that could have been eliminated.
Given that my raid's total DPS averages out to roughly 20k per person for a total of 100k raid DPS, that means not giving me DI drops the length of the fight by 3 seconds for every 5 minutes a fight lasts.
I just don't see that as a large enough gain to be worth giving up the DI so I can be called super leet.
Blood Pact: Patch 4.2 Warlock Q&A {WoW}
Aug 15th 2011 8:14PM @ Sqt
Most of the time I'm the only person to put it on... like I said, a mage is the only other viable target sometimes.
To suggest that I don't gem and enchant my gear because I chose a specific playstyle that isn't 100% optimal under is absolutely laughable, and needlessly incendiary!
I don't FORCE my warlock to do anything, and I hardly think it's holding us back. Raid groups are designed to be able to down content without a warlock in the group (I didn't have one for all of T11) so to suggest that there is no way we're not struggling and being "held back" is ridiculous.
Most of my hostility at this point stems from the manner in which you've approached this entire subject. There is no one way to play this game, even at an end-game perspective. We're not looking for world first or even server first kills, and it works fine for us.
Stop jumping on someone for offering an alternative playstyle... I was under the assumption that most of the people on this blog that had something intelligent to contribute (which you guys do, btw) weer capable of doing it in a constructive and friendly environment. Oh well...
Blood Pact: Patch 4.2 Warlock Q&A {WoW}
Aug 15th 2011 7:30PM I'm reading this as you guys (Tyler and Hollow) taking an elitist point of view of squeezing every tiny ounce out of every stone, which is fine.
My setup was good enough for a fair number of heroic encounters in T11 and continues to serve me in Firelands as well.
I'm merely offering an alternative playstyle, and supporting it with my experiences to show that it isn't totally bonkers. There is no need to be passive-aggressive in reply to what should be a friendly conversation, treating me like someone gemming spirit onto my feral DPS set.
Blood Pact: Patch 4.2 Warlock Q&A {WoW}
Aug 15th 2011 6:26PM As an aside, I goofed in my math, it's 432 points of haste I don't have to gear for, not over 500.
Blood Pact: Patch 4.2 Warlock Q&A {WoW}
Aug 15th 2011 6:15PM I am turning haste into intellect through gems. Hitting 1573 haste is much easier than 2005, allowing me to gem entirely for intellect. I've tried various methods of hitting the 2005 break-point without dumping a ton of gems towards it, and the only method of doing that is exactly what you just suggesting I was doing, using lower ilevel gear.
You seem to think that I am interested in HPS, when instead I am looking at total mana pool and regen. I'm GOING to hit the 21.4329% breakpoint whether I have DI or not, so taking it doesn't increase my HPS.
I also run in a 10 man environment, where there is no boomkin or shadow priest to take advantage of the buff. We have a mage, but his DPS is excellent (as is our entire groups) to the point where enrage timers really just aren't our primary concern.
I suppose that if your raid is having trouble meeting DPS requirements, giving it to a druid doesn't make a lot of sense.
Otherwise I feel like improving my healing performance (in terms of mana pool and return) is just as much a "group buff" as one person's DPS. It all depends on the point of view.
Final thought: I'm not advocating always giving the buff to a restoration druid. I stated before that it merely worth looking at and weighing.
Blood Pact: Patch 4.2 Warlock Q&A {WoW}
Aug 15th 2011 4:22PM Re: Giving Dark Intent to healers
I play a restoration druid in a 10 man raid, and am lucky enough to receive both the raid-haste buff and DI. This allows me to hit an important haste break for my HoTs while saving me over 500 points of itemization I can throw at intellect and other stats that improve my performance. It's such a phenomenal boost to me.
Don't let a DPS class automatically take DI just because it boosts their numbers slightly; make certain to weigh the pros and cons of each individual application and then decide.

Patch 4.2 hotfixes for August 4 {WoW}
Aug 5th 2011 9:42AM It's worth noting that Zarhym stated that the nerf is related to the trinket performing higher than it's item level for both PVP and PVE alike; the problem was just more polarizing for PVP. They Devs are trying not to tolerate first tier items that outperform 2nd and 3rd tier items like they have in the past.

"In 2004 India gave the world an extraordinary phenamenon of an election being won by a woman politician who is Roman Catholic faith (Sonia Gandhi), who gave way to a Sikh to be sworn in as the prime minister (Manmohan Singh) by a Muslim President (Mr Abdul Kalam) in a country 81% Hindu."
Can you imagine a muslim to be a Prime minister or a president in any of the US or European country with majority Christian population Or a Christian leading a Muslim Country?
Religion has become a tool in the world politics because it is fragile and very powerful at the same time. it should make us contemplate in our existence and ultimately help us find inner peace. However, mistrasnslation of religious texts, by major religious leaders, has been used to turn cults and sects against each others.
I am surprised that India got a mention in the article for wrong reasons. Infact, India is the most tolerant nation that anybody can think of. Of course there may be one odd incidents in a country with 1.2 billion population. All religions found welcome home on this land. Nowhere else you will see equal tolerence for all religions..
Pls google "Shashi Tharoor on TED talk" and watch the video
Who is the author of this article?
Muslims prosecuting Christians in Pakistan ?, well we just had only one case registered so far , even in that case the alleged lady charged with insulting prophet flew away to US with the support of the Government. I can not understand why Christians try to portray them selves as innocent as the Jews in the holocaust, the article fail to cover the fact that with American Invasion to Afghanistan and Iraq many missionaries begun to preach people who were in dire condition offering them money and jobs, i mean common this is human exploitation.
Just who do you think you're kidding! Maybe one "registered" case, but thousands upon thousands of blatant discrimination against Christians (& any Hindus who have not fleed yet), happen all the time in Pakistan. Bare-faced denial only works so much. Wake up, dude..
Persecutors are always wrong.
I an very sure that in time everyone well come to the truth and that in time everyone that "Lives by the sward .....
As long as stupid preaching people can't make out the difference between BELIEFS and KNOWLEDGE, bigotry(that's kind of racisms against others non-believers)will prevail.
Did you ever hear people killing each others over a knowledge? they do it however over bronze-age beliefs.

I see two 'models' or "memes" into which I am able to group the world's religions. The first model has clearly spawned more violence than the second.
The first model is: "Our religion is the only true one, because GOD has said so through this Prophet or through this Messenger... Therefore, any one against our religion is against GOD. Thus, they deserve no mercy. It is not a sin to kill them or to expel them."
The second model is: "Our religion shows the Way of the Spirit, the Way of Enlightenment, which you need to Seek. The Seeker is you, you need to work on it. We offer you no Salvation just because you subscribe to our religion."
The second model claims no 'special line' to GOD nor any unique status as the only 'true' religion.
I leave it to the readers to locate the different religions of the world within these two models. Some may even find a third model in the open-ended mystic thoughts in Yoga, Vedanta, Pancha Ratra (Radhe-Krishna path of love), Zen, Kabala or in the Sufi traditions of such mystics such as Jalaluddin Rumi, Khalil Jibran and many others.
I hope history will show that it is the religions in the first model that have caused so many wars and violence and continue to do so, whipping up trouble within their sub-sects too. True Christianity is not what it once was but it is still seeking converts.
India is one major target of several Christian groups. Their attack on Hinduism, their mis-representation of Hinduism, their offer of material incentives to Hindus to convert, really ought to be looked into by an impartial journal like The Economist.
Some Christian and Islamic missionary organisations wish to take their Indian converts as far away from their native and historic culture as possible. The hatred and contempt they foment in those converts towards benign, universally inclined doctrines of Hinduism are never fully described by any Indian or Non-Indian sociologist.
Yes, many Hindus in India are concerned by the rapid increase in the proportion of India's population that is Christian and Muslim. That concern is not shared by India's rulers who rely so much on the 'minority vote bank'.
The persecution of Hindus by Christian Missionary outfits is also as much a fact as the persecution of Christians by some Hindus in some parts of India.
The wanton killing of 84 year old Swami Lakshmana Ananda in Orissa (a province in Eastern India) was done, according to may locals, at the behest of some Christian missionary group(s). He preached for years against tribals of Orissa converting to Christianity leaving behind their Hindu beliefs and practices.
Readers should take a look at the figures in India of Hindus converted to the middle eastern religions. If similar figures applied in any European country, or in any other country, you would hear so much noise about it.
Do people simply practice the religion they were born into?
What if they were born into a different culture? Would they have been conscious enough to find their way back to their current belief system? Or are their current beliefs merely a product of their environment and not the result of conscious choice?
I believed that with such a thoughtful article it would educate and begin an initiative of dialogue through the comments. But the general response has been to shore up ones's prejudice with rhetoric of ignorance. I do not know how our present generation will learn, grow, or change if attitudes prevail in this manner. I am grateful for the few who buck the trend of "popular talk" to listen with sensitivity and promote meaningful dialogue. The article is a warning...no one is safe when an attitude is allowed to be negatively perpetrated against another group.
Very strange. Just because the US and TE believe it is ok to convert people to religions (what they call 'choosing your religion' helped along by missionaries throwing money and land at poor uneducated tribals) does not mean this should be made applicable to every country. If a country decides that religious conversions should be banned and if missionaries continue to do so knowingly, then by the laws of that country, the missionaries have knowingly crossed a line and are liable to be punished under law.
Excuse me but we live in a 'free World' but then something is telling me that a 'free world' means a world of US laws faithfully reported and broadcast by its in-house newsletter, TE.
The West has, through its liberal view of civil rights, seen to it that all men and women should be respected, regardless of race, creed or national origin. It has a responsibility to continue to uphold these with a common goal of peace.
This creates the equality of opportunity provided by the capitalist west. It does not guarantee the equality of the outcome.
Perhaps our Islamic friends find this goal overly threatening.
Indoctrination? - As you don't know me it stands to reason that you don't have any evidence for that charge, which puts it in the category of prejudice and blind belief, which is ironic.
Valid documented/recorded proof / hearsay? There are a number of good reasons to accept the Gospels as valid documents, accurately giving witness testimony to real events, people, places.
The New Testament - Matthew, as a former tax-collector, is very likely to have been literate. Luke, a Greek, a physician, and a superb historian, recounts events he had diligently researched. Mark has probably written on behalf of the fisherman Peter, and John may well have had a scribe even if he had learnt to read & write. St Paul did meet Jesus, on the road to Damascus, only he was known as Saul at the time.
The Old Testament - I disagree entirely with your assessment. The Bible, New & Old Testament, is perhaps the most profound, life-changing, precious, popular, revered, studied, preached from, translated, book of all time, which is hardly compatible with your views on it.
"The God Delusion" - "Several years ago my atheist colleague Quentin Smith unceremoniously crowned Stephen Hawking's argument against God in 'A Brief History of Time' as "the worst atheistic argument in the history of Western thought." With the advent of 'The God Delusion' the time has come to relieve Hawking of this weighty crown and to recognize Richard Dawkins's accession to the throne."
Quote from William Lane Craig on "Dawkins's Delusion" philvaz.com/apologetics/CraigDawkinsDelusion.pdf for the full article. Also worth reading is Professor Antony Flew's views: philvaz.com/apologetics/DawkinsGodDelusionFlewReview.pdf
The real world - Imagine for a moment you saw a fairy. What would you think? Imagine that the fairy did something to demonstrate quite convincingly that it was indeed a genuine, bona-fide, stardust-sprinkling fairy, what would you do? If there was no-one else around to witness this event, would you mention it to your dyed-in-the-wool sceptical friends, and how would you try and convince them what you saw? Now, I have never met anyone or heard of anyone who claims to have encountered a fairy and converted from atheism to fairyism, and nor do I ever expect to, but there are millions of people who have encountered Jesus Christ, who, in different parts of the world today would rather be sent to prison, to prison-camps, to persecution, ostracism, torture and death rather than disown or dishonour Jesus Christ whom they happily worship as Lord and God and admit to his being with them and giving them strength in all their ordeals, and some of them, before they became Christians, were as opposed to Christianity as you are now. I think its entirely reasonable to believe in a real God who really changes real people's lives in the real world. That's real evidence.
PS. There's still no 3rd option.
jcs: So am I right in assuming you endorse such fairytales as Adam & Eve, the Six Days to create the world, the Imaculate Conception, the 'Virgin' birth of Jesus, the Crucifiction & Death on the Cross for the salvation of humankind, the Holy Trinity, Purgatory, Hell & Heaven... etc etc??? AMEN!
For the record, purgatory is not in the Bible. That aside, if God has ability, as a non-created, non-physical, eternal being to create ex-nihilo (out of nothing) a finite, physical universe, matter, time, physical and chemical laws, galaxies, sub-atomic particles, life, DNA, variety, beauty, emotions, brains, and all things seen and unseen, then it is logical that God has the ability to communicate with what he has made. 100 years ago it would be unthinkable that I could, just by myself, make myself heard 50 miles away, yet with no great effort my mobile phone can send a message to another phone on the opposite side of the world, despite me not knowing exactly where in that country the receiving handset is, and it can arrive within minutes of being sent. 100 years ago this couldn't have been conceived. What you can't conceive can be possible. Jesus said "With God all things are possible." I believe in God, a God who could have done a lot stranger things than are on your list, if he had wanted to. Would God have created a world and filled it with sentient, cognisant, spiritual people without having any way, any plan or any intention of communicating with them? Why would God create the universe and then abandon it? I believe in the Bible as the record of God's dealings with man, and I believe in Jesus as being God incarnate, the one who the angels announced "a Saviour has been born to you - He is Christ the Lord." He's the only one I can think of whose birth, life and death are all celebrated two thousand years on all over this planet. Even if you can't see how these things make sense, they do. But enough about my beliefs, I don't think you've yet proved yours.
jcs: Can you explain why an infinitely loving, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent..God have to (re)incarnate his Only Begotten Son in such a convoluted way & have him (Jesus) die such a gruesome death on the Cross inorder to save mankind?? He could have just willed our salvation, in less than a heartbeat!
Also since God apparently created the Universe & everyhing in it, He must have created the devil, evil, disease, poverty, pain & suffering, among other bad things. The 'fallen angels/devils' were created in His likeness, so how come they turned out so flawed? If I'm not mistaken, apparently a third of the angels morphed into devils. That's pretty bad quality control - 33% defaults!! Even GM or Chrysler don't make so many 'lemons'!! How come an infinitely perfect God have erred so badly??
Eitherway I guess, to each his/her own. Amen..
If you read the text, God doesn't actually "create" the universe. He says "Let there be light" but it is not in a command structure, rather a request. This indicates that he is asking something else to create these features. Funny, hey?
A priest I once knew informed me that if I did something that was good it was not by my choice, it was because God made me do it. If I did something bad, then that was my fault because I chose to not listen to God. He lost me long before then, but that sealed the deal for me.
Theology (religion), astrology, numerology & like, are all cut from the same intangible cloth called superstition. They feed & thrive on human gullibility, fear & paranoia. So it looks to me like man created god, to fulfill some primordial needs & shortcomings. Like Einstein once quipped: "I'm deeply irreligious" (or something to that effect..
TomNightingale wrote: "Now, politely,goodbye" - thank you.
"It is clear you have problems." Maybe ;-) but I'm right in thinking that calls by atheists to prevent "indoctrination" by religious people generally mean "only teach using atheist assumptions and thinking". And that the trouble is that there is no such thing as neutral viewpoint.
The Christian community is in no way threatened by Israel. To say so is a gross distortion of the truth.
It seems crazy that that article 18 of the universal declaration of human rights (Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance) is somehow debatable in 2012.
Most, if not all, the countries mentioned in the article voted in favour of this basic document.
It's a pity that there is no rule of laws in these matters.
A thoroughly depressing comments thread. The anti-conversion Hindutva crowd are predictable. The Whataboutists are merely ridiclous and illogical.
But its sad to see so many of my fellow athiests suggest that persecuting people on the basis of the beliefs they hold is acceptable.
An attempt by the Economist to legitimize an idea based on shaky grounds.
As if Christianity is in a particularly troubling spot - Let's not forget about attacks upon Muslims in the places where they reside - French bans on Burqas; Swiss limits on Mosques; Russian persecution of Chechans and Tartars; American opposition to Muslims as leaders, spying on and imprisonment of its Muslim population, calls burn Qurans and stop mosques, and 2 wars on Muslim nations; Hindus persecution of Muslims in India; the massacre of Muslims in Yugoslavia and the Balkans; Chinese persecution of Uyghurs; Israeli massacres and land theft; and the Muslims oppressed by their own secular leaders such as Ben Ali, Mubarak, and Assad… The list goes on and on.
Let's not call attention to a "specific problem with Islam" when Muslims are no more the victimizers than are Christians any less the victims. At the end of the day, one can blame all religious extremism as the root of the problem, but I firmly hold that, at the end of the day, all such conflicts are political in nature.
Either way, shame on the Economist.
I've got to half-agree with littlegemini on this.
Extremists will twist any religion or philosophy to gain political power. Just look at the massacres of tens of millions by atheist regimes in the 20th century (eg Pol Pot and Stalin). Thankfully, that form of materialistic atheism failed and many people are now able to live in true freedom.
However, the Economist has pointed out that there is, at the moment, hugely disproportionate persecutions of Christians - particularly in some Muslim countries. France imposing "liberal" secular values on Muslims is bad enough, but France doesn't imprison you if you convert to Islam, or automatically annul your marriage, or take your children away! And banning minarets on mosques in Switzerland is slightly strange, but isn't a ban on mosques - and nothing like blowing up churches full of Christians in Nigeria!

I need some help with how to properly start off some Hens & chicks SEEDS. My wife loves the plant and she ordered the 300 seed mix of Hens & Chicks from Parks seed. Please, help me get started in the right direction. What soil to start with? Do I transplant at some time after germination? How long for germination? She threw away any literature that came from Parks and handed me the seeds. HELP!!!! Yes, she does it to me all the time. (sigh)!!!
A marriage of more than 44 years may be riding on this project. :>) |

Thanks, Cactusfreak. That gives me one idea for the growing medium. Now, these are TINY seeds. How deep to plant? Do you "MIST" them with water until they get started or ?????? I looked at the soil in a green one at the local nursery and it looked more like coarse sand with some compost in it. Does anyone use another mixture for the soil? Do you fertilize, and if so, how often and with what? |

Well, I'm a bit hardline here, but perhaps suggest to your wife that for any projects which directions she THROWS AWAY she can do them herself w/out your help. Throwing any instructions which come w/ a product is (pls. excuse me) absurd. Does she think you are a mind reader? If it were me, I'd contact the vendor & ask them to send me another set of the instructions & then make sure I got to the mail first. |
Semps are pretty tough when they're established. They aren't particularly picky, as long as the soil is fast draining. I've been using maybe 20 percent commercial succulent mix, and the rest equal amounts of perlite, gravel, and coarse builders sand. But, I've also planted them in the native soil around the roots of my trees without any augmentation and they've done fine. I don't water or fertilize any of my semps. But, I've only had them from the spring at the earliest. I don't think they need a lot of fertilizer- I don't plan on feeding them anytime soon. |
- Posted by containerted 7b NE of Atlanta, G (My Page) on Tue, Aug 5, 08 at 19:35
Well, thanks to all of you for sharing. I think I can get this off to a good start. I'm still a little nervous about the germination and initial seedling care, but I'll just have to muck my way thru. Y'all take care now, Y'hear. And, Pirate-Girl, it is with lots of love that I say, "You have a lot to learn about relationships". |

really, i am sure that she did not throw the instructions away for spite or that she did not do it on purpose. i agree, i would contact the vendor and ask for another set of instructions. i am sure they would be happy to send you another one. thanks |

another site with tip on pre-chilling If you have to pre-chill it is going to be late in the season and your seedlings will need winter protection in a greenhouse or inside with a grow lamp. You might want to just put the seeds in a cool garage over the winter and sow next spring. |

If nothing else...just buy more seeds...LOL Dave |
I collected some seeds from two semps that bloomed this year. Check back with me next june to see how they've done :) |
- Posted by sarahbarah27 5 (My Page) on Fri, Feb 20, 09 at 8:34
This is an old thread. But to answer the question on how deep to plant, don't plant them deep. Dust them on top of the soil and keep moist/misted till germination, which can take a long while! Don't give up on these, they will germinate just when you want to through the tray away and start over!!! Sarah |

I have spoken with 2 owners of Yorkies. Both gave their dogs oral applications of flea and tick prevention and both started to have seizures. Both dogs went off the application and the seizures stopped. Thought I would share. |
Follow-Up Postings:
any idea what the product was? |
No, but both owners immediately took their dogs off the oral application and switched to a topical, no more seizures for either dog. |
Well, since we don't know what that product was, not much help. There are several oral flea products on the market. I have been a practicing vet for over 26 years though and yet to see any of them cause seizures in any breed of dog. Some are a lot less effective than others is the primary difference I see between these products. |
mazer, thanks for the heads-up and reminder that I need to frontline Lucy. |
It was a flea AND tick product...not just flea |
The site I will link below has interesting information about many different flea & tick products for dogs. I have heard that both imidacloprid and spinosad can cause seizures in some dogs (we use oral spinosad with no ill effects so far). |

I get the Kovel's on-line newsletter, and not too long ago it was mentioned that Oriental antiques were on the 'up-swing'~true or false? I don't remember it mentioning Chinese/Japanese/Korean/others, just Oriental.
Another silly question, is Oriental antiques the same as Asian antiques? ;o) |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have an old House of Collectibles book & it has Japanese & Chinese stuff in it. I think it pretty much the same but my book is over 20 yrs old. Sometimes they specialize in 1 area like "swords" "old ivory cravings" "netsukes" "nippon china" I think the word Asian is the political correct word for any person from that area of the world. Like lot of Americans were called European-Americans. Indians are now Native Americans etc. |

'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit' Overwhelms with New Photos and a Clip
'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit' hits theaters in a little over a week, and this franchise reboot, which stars Chris Pine, Keira Knightley and Kevin Costner alongside director Kenneth Branagh, has just offered a number of stills along with the clip above.
'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Offers New Footage for New Year's Eve
'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' wants to bring in a swinging New Year with new footage from the upcoming summer film, which plays up the film's New York setting, and its villain in Jamie Foxx's Electro.
'Draft Day' Trailer: Kevin Costner's on a Comeback Kick in 2014
Could 2014 be the year of the Kevin Costner comeback? The actor, who was in huge hits in the late eighties and early nineties, wore out his welcome with pictures like 'The Postman,' but after appearing in this year's 'Man of Steel,' he's got five starring roles lined up for next year, including 'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit,' '3 Days to Kill' and now 'Draft Day,' which just released its first trailer and poster.
'Bad Boys 3′ is Looking For a Writer, But Will Martin Lawrence and Will Smith Return?
Though it's been rumored for a while, Sony has made steps to get a 'Bad Boys 3' off the ground and is looking to hire a writer to pen a third entry in the franchise. That doesn't mean that Will Smith, Michael Bay or Martin Lawrence will return, but it's a start.
Tom Cruise to Return for 'Jack Reacher 2′
One of 2012's most pleasant surprises was Christopher McQuarrie's 'Jack Reacher,' which starred Tom Cruise as the titular bad ass. As it was based on a series of books by Lee Child it seemed ready to spawn a franchise, but the film's modestly-hyped Christmas release suggested that Paramount didn't know if they had a winner. The film was a modest success, and now Paramount is working on developing a sequel.
'Star Trek 3′ Adds New Writers and Loses Alex Kurtzman
Though 'Star Trek Into Darkness' producer/director J.J. Abrams has his attentions elsewhere, 'Star Trek 3' is moving forward, with Joe Cornish the most recent director rumored to take Abrams' place. Now it appears the writer's room has had a bit of a shake-up as J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay have joined the film, while Alex Kurtzman has jumped off the project.
Tom Cruise May Bring Jack Nicholson Out of Retirement for 'El Presidente'
Last we heard, three-time Oscar winner Jack Nicholson wasn't totally retired, but the 76-year old had become so choosy about his work that it's possible 2010's 'How Do You Know' could be his last feature film. Well, not if Tom Cruise has anything to say about it, as he's wooing Jack to star along with him in 'El Presidente' for his 'Edge of Tomorrow' director Doug Liman.
'Insidious 3′ Is Dated for April 2015
The new studio model for sequels is to call your release date before you have a cast or crew, and often before you have a script. The latest film to get dated ahead of anything else substantial is 'Insidious 3,' which production company FilmDistrict previously announced would be happening after 'Insidious Chapter 2' opened to $41 million.
Will James Bond Battle Blofeld Again?
Though the franchise was successful under Pierce Brosnan's run, when Daniel Craig became James Bond the series got a new life and a rebooting, with 'Casino Royale' starting just as Bond received his license to kill. The series has done a lot of work to integrate previous Bond lore with its more modern approach (and recently re-introduced Miss Moneypenny), but now it seems the path is clear for Bond's most famous nemesis Blofeld to return to the series.
'Mission: Impossible 5′ is Coming for Christmas in 2015
Considering that 2015 is looking like one of the biggest movie years in the history of cinema, it's surprising that studios aren't as afraid of 'Star Wars: Episode 7' as they were of 'Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.' Currently 'Episode 7' will open December 18, the same day as 'Warcraft,' and now 'Mission: Impossible 5' has announced that they'll be hitting theaters a week later on Christmas Day.

Check out the various EMR and Healthcare IT related blogs and websites that are part of the Healthcare Scene network:
Find us on our Google+ Page.
We've been working for a while to bring together all of the great content we create on the Healthcare Scene blog network. We still have some work to do, but I'm excited to offer people a simple option to subscribe to all of the Healthcare Scene email lists at once. Plus, we have a new option that allows you to subscribe to all of the Healthcare Scene blogs in one email. Just fill out the form below and check the emails you want to receive.
If you have any questions, please let us know in the comments or on the contact us page.
We're really excited and proud to announce two new additions to the Healthcare Scene family of websites: Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today. Check out this press release that covers more details on Healthcare Scene's acquisition of this leading healthcare IT job board and blog.
Healthcare IT Central is a leading job board, resume database, certification resource, and career website solely focused on healthcare IT professionals. Some of the top Healthcare and Healthcare IT companies post their healthcare IT and EHR jobs to the site along with searching through the resume database of over 9000 resumes. Plus, the Healthcare IT Central newsletter goes out to well over 13,000 healthcare IT professionals. Anyone looking to hire a healthcare IT position, improve their current career, or find a job in healthcare IT should check it out.
Healthcare IT Today is a blog focused on creating great content that will help healthcare IT professionals progress in their careers. Some of its more popular posts are about becoming Epic Certified and becoming a healthcare IT consultant. Check out the site for regular content that will help you progress in your healthcare IT career.
Each year we like to do a survey of readers. This is a great way for us to get feedback on how we can improve all of the various websites in the HealthcareScene.com blog network. We've experienced amazing growth over the past year and so we know we're doing something right, but we believe that we can always improve.
One that note, I hope you'll all take a minute to respond to the following survey. If you read more than one HealthcareScene.com website, you'll probably see it posted again on those websites. You'll only need to respond once for all of the sites.
It's hard to consider this the launch of Hospital EMR and EHR, but I never formally announced it on Healthcare Scene and so consider this the official announcement of Hospital EMR and EHR.
I actually first started Hospital EMR and EHR back in May 2010. I guess it's a good thing that I get it listed on Healthcare Scene before its one year anniversary. Over that time we've already done 91 posts focusing on hospital EMR and EHR issues.
We've seen really outstanding growth on the hospital EMR and EHR site and I expect we're just getting started. Some of the largest hospital health IT vendors have been linking to our coverage of the hospital health IT space. Plus, even more hospital employees and hospital vendors are signing up for the email list (you can sign up here).
Most of the content on Hospital EMR and EHR is created by Katherine Rourke, but we also have some really great content from guest contributors and John even chimes in on occasion as well. Let us know what you think of the site and if there are more hospital related topics you'd like us to consider.
A number of you have been asking for an easy way to get Healthcare Scene updates into your email. While I still haven't been able to get all of the EMR blogs under one email, I've made some progress. If you're interested in getting the email updates for the following websites, you can do so at this link or below the list.
Meaningful Health IT News with Neil Versel
Happy EMR Doctor
EMR Thoughts
Smart Phone Healthcare
Hospital EMR and EHR
next Hospital
The best part is that as we add new blogs to the Healthcare Scene blog network, you'll get the updates from the new blogs as well. All in one nice aggregate package. If I ever figure out a way to combine feeds, I'll add them to this email as well.
Until then, here are links to sign up for the other major healthcare scene websites email lists:
EMR and HIPAA Email List
EMR and EHR Email List
We're a little bit delayed on the formal announcement of a couple of the new Healthcare Scene websites that we launched. We'll try and catch up with the announcements over the next week. We've been busy building out the network and now have 14 different Healthcare Scene blogs in the network. That's pretty amazing growth considering before HIMSS in March we only had 3.
Today, I wanted to tell you about the official launch of the EMR Thoughts website. Many of you might have seen the website already since I've been posting there for a while now. However, I'm sure that many readers of the Healthcare Scene network haven't heard about EMR Thoughts.
To be quite frank, I wasn't quite sure what would come of the EMR Thoughts website. I just knew that I needed another place to be able to post the various EMR and EHR content that I thought was worthy of being posted. Thus, EMR thoughts was born.
Over time, it seems that EMR Thoughts has kind of come into its own with a general focus around what's happening in the EMR and EHR industry. Many of the posts look at the EMR and EHR market. Others have looked at physician adoption of technology. Plus, we've had some pretty interesting coverage of the EMR and Healthcare IT job market.
I can't promise the website will stick to just those topics, but I'm quite sure there will be a heavy emphasis along those same lines. So, if you're someone interested in what's happening with EMR and EHR software, then you'll love EMR Thoughts. Check it out and join in the comments.
I'm really excited to announce the launch of the latest addition to the Healthcare Scene blog network: EMR, EHR and Healthcare IT Videos. It's a nice extension to the existing EMR and HIPAA brand of websites including the EMR News and EMR Screenshots websites.
You can see that we've already been posting a variety of EMR videos to the website. However, we have many more to come. I'm also considering the idea of doing a regular EMR video series on the site where I take interesting topics and respond to them in a short video format. If you like that idea, let me know and I'll see what I can do to make it happen.
Either way, it's amazing to see the number of Healthcare IT and EMR related videos that are being posted online now. So, this will provide a great outlet for those that enjoy watching videos on various EMR and healthcare IT topics.
If you have a great EMR, EHR or Healthcare IT related video that you think we should post to the website, let us know on the EMR videos contact us form.
The Healthcare Scene network of blogs is really excited to announce the launch of a new website called EMR and EHR screenshots. EMR and EHR Screenshots great new addition to the Healthcare Scene blog network and an extension of the extremely popular EMR and HIPAA blog.
I originally had the idea for an EMR and EHR sreenshots website when an EHR vendor sent me over a stack of screenshots from their EHR software. I loved the chance to see the look and feel of the EMR software and when I posted it to EMR and HIPAA, the readers seemed to really enjoy looking at the various screens and EMR interfaces. From that, EMR and EHR Screenshots was born.
We're going to be working to collect screenshots of all the 300+ EMR and EHR companies out in the market today. We're certain this won't be an easy task, but we believe it will be of great value to doctors, practice managers and even EMR and EHR vendors themselves.
We're looking to build long term relationships with EMR companies that provide screenshots of their EMR software as it evolves over time. Plus, as we post the screenshots for these EMR companies, we'll be linking to the EMR company itself where users can find out more info. A great way to reward the well done EMR user interfaces with traffic to their website.
If you're interested in providing us some screenshots of your EMR and EHR software, just drop us a note on our Contact Us page or email us at screenshots (at) emrandhipaa (dot) com. I can't wait to see the best EMR screenshots out there today. Not to mention how the EMR interfaces evolve over time.
I just finished creating some new logos to use in the header of all the various Healthcare Scene websites. I think they look pretty good for a novice graphics guy like me while still creating a relatively consistent brand. I've uploaded all the new logos below and each one links to the various Healthcare Scene website.
Let me know what you think and be sure to read all the latest Healthcare Scene content.

Welding Protective Equipment
a. General. The electric welding arc is a very powerful source of light, including visible, ultraviolet, and infrared. Protective clothing and equipment must be worn during all welding operations. During all oxyacetylene welding and cutting processes, operators must use safety goggles to protect the eyes from heat, glare, and flying fragments of hot metals. During all electric welding processes, operators must use safety goggles and a hand shield or helmet equipped with a suitable filter glass to protect against the intense ultraviolet and infrared rays. When others are in the vicinity of the electric welding processes, the area must be screened so the arc cannot be seen either directly or by reflection from glass or metal.
Colored glass must be manufactured in accordance with specifications detailed in the "National Safety Code for the Protection of Hands and Eyes of Industrial Workers", issued by the National Bureau of Standards, Washington DC, and OSHA Standards, Subpart Q, "Welding, Cutting, and Brazing", paragraph 1910.252, and American National Standards Institute Standard (ANSI) Z87.1-1968, "American National Standard Practice for Occupational and Educational Eye and Face Protection".

As our citrus-growing counterparts in Florida suffer the loss of production because of Asian citrus psyllid and huanglongbing (HLB), California has the advantage of learning from their experience.
Ted Batkin |
One warning comes through loudly — aggressive action to control the psyllid and constant testing for the bacterium causing HLB are critical to save citrus.
We're heeding the warning.
The psyllid can be a carrier of bacteria that can cause the fatal tree disease known as HLB and citrus greening disease. While not harmful to human health, HLB destroys production, appearance and value of citrus trees, and the taste of their fruit and juice. Once a tree is infected with HLB, there's no cure and the tree will die.
In Florida, the psyllid's threat came when the industry was concerned about citrus canker, and little was done to control the psyllid's population until it was too late and HLB was present. The disease was first found in two counties. Six months later, it was found in 12.
In less than two years, it was identified in 30 counties — Florida's entire citrus-producing region. The rapid detection of HLB in Florida underscores the need for California to act now, before the disease makes its way into citrus-production areas, threatening our $1.6 billion industry.
At the California Citrus Research Board, we've been monitoring the psyllid threat worldwide for more than 10 years. Before the psyllid made its way into Mexico and California, we had begun educating growers and others involved with the process — retailers, master gardeners, pest control advisers and consumers — that, if not controlled, HLB will be a death sentence for California citrus. We're asking everyone, including homeowners, to help us in this fight.
We're collaborating with county officials, the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to support and supplement their efforts. We've increased our program with a team of field trappers and identifiers in Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley.
Ultimately, the CCRB program will monitor groves throughout the state. Using detection grids, we're able to detect populations early in their life stage, meaning spread of the psyllids will be limited and threat of HLB reduced.
We're also providing rapid and mass testing of psyllids and plant material through our new lab in Riverside, Calif., and have plans to increase testing with a lab to open in San Joaquin Valley in 2010. We anticipate the ability to test more than 4,000 samples weekly when operating at maximum levels.
