I've had a stuffy nose since Hurricane Sandy - October 29, 2012. It's so stuffy sometimes, I have to completely breathe with my mouth open. Sometimes, I get a cough for a few days, and when I cough, I feel like my head is going to explode. I went to the doctor once, and he gave me a round of antibiotics. It didn't work. I've taken a myriad of OTC drugs, but they make it worse. My co-workers are encouraging me to go to an ENT, but I'm petrified he may use that scope. Yuk. Anyone have a stuffy nose for 5 months? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You need an Xray to see if you have a sinus infection. Have you tried one of these sinus rinse things? They are fantastic. A netti pot will help, too. Don't worry about an ENT - they won't absolutely insist on any tests you do not want. They will probably take an Xray. An allergist might help you too. |
Here is a link that might be useful: NeilMed Sinus Rinse
First thing I thought of as well - a sinus infection - the type that will require you to take the 6 pill regimen. Two on day one and then one on each subsequent day. The meds stay in your system for several days post taking the last pill. Your GP should be able to prescribe these for you - unless you do need a referral to a specialist. Not to sound too indelicate, but sometimes the way to tell is when you blow your nose, if the discharge is greenish in colour - that can be a clue. But sometimes it is not green - I know this because I just went through it. I have many allergies - anti-histamine being one which is the devil - but finally resorted to the sinus meds after going to my doctor. It had just gone on too long and then came back with a vengeance. |

Can you smell or taste anything?? |
Assuming you live in the area, could it be a mold allergy? |
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.survivingmold.com/news/2012/11/hurricane-sandy-could-expose-millions-to-mold/
My tastebuds were not what they were - getting better now. And my nose was so stuffed up I couldn't smell much. I really think you need to see a doctor since you could have picked up something from Sandy. My husband was supposed to attend a conference in NJ that week - obviously it was cancelled. I hope you get better. |

Try drinking fresh, pure squeezed lemon with a little water... That what I do when I eat unhealthy and get congested.. Let me guess, you drink milk and eat lots of grains? Those are all mucus forming foods... Try eating raw fruit and vegetables for a few days, bet you any money your going to be breathing out your nose.. Joe |
You do need to get it checked out further. Lady on forum had stuffy nose for several months & turned out to be cancer behind the eyes & had to operate through the nose & forehead only around 300 people ever have had this & had to be done at Mayo Clinic(St Mary's hospital) She is fine now but who would have thought you could even have that. It was just ahead of the covering on her brain so they didn't go in the brain at all. Could be polyp, infection usually is green or yellow & lot of mucus, could be allergic to medicine you are taking( did you change meds right before this started.? On statin drugs?-they cause tumors & kill thyroid as 3 of friends & relatives of mine have found out. Around smokers or fireplaces? they set me off, cold air can start up stuffy noes & sore throat on me. Could be lot of things & dr. needs to check for them & you need to keep notes & write down what you did before it got worse again, even foods could be problem. Ear, nose & throat dr. seems like place to start. But if allergies to smoke or cold no test for that, just repeat illness when you are exposed. I knew young man that had to sleep with blanket over his head at night in winter as grandma only had house at 65degrees. She thought he was nuts, I told her I've slept with sheet over my head for years & my heat is much higher but I was getting migraine every night, sheet made huge difference except before rain storm coming in & got sick anyway. So not everything can be found out in dr. office. But better to find out if they have answers before you try finding out if it is environment. Might need medical attention fast! |
Most likely you have built up an allergy of some sort and the sinuses are swollen. Get to a ENT, he or she will take a look and assess it. It doesn't hurt. Then they may give you an rx of a nasal steroid that cuts down the swelling. I use one every day and perhaps an rx to kill any bacteria you may have picked up. You shouldn't have to live this way. See a good dr. |

Candles, flowers at Safeway where Giffords shot
January 8, 2012 - 12:05 PM
PHOENIX (AP) — A couple dozen people showed up at a Tucson Safeway to lay out flowers and light candles to mark one year since a gunman shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed six people.
Churches and homes throughout the southern Arizona city will ring bells at 10:11 a.m. MST Sunday, the exact time the gunman shot Giffords and methodically moved down a line of people waiting to talk to her during a congressional meet-and-greet on Jan. 8, 2011.
Six people were killed, including a 9-year-old girl born on Sept. 11, 2001, and a federal judge. Thirteen others were shot, including Giffords.
Giffords visited the Safeway on Saturday with her husband.

(Nasdaq:PLUG), a leader in providing clean, reliable energy solutions, today announced that President and CEO, Andy Marsh, will be presenting today, June 19, 2013, at the Hydrogen + Fuel Cells 2013 (HFC2013) conference at the Vancouver Convention Centre, where this year's theme is "Power, Transportation & Energy Storage: An Industry on the Move."
HFC2013 is an international tradeshow for the hydrogen and fuel cell technology industry. It is expected that more than 1,000 delegates will be in attendance from 50-plus countries, including Canada, Germany, US, Japan, Korea and China. The event features prominent industry and government leaders as keynote speakers, as well as sessions focusing on key issues and new initiatives within the sector.
Marsh's presentation, entitled "Moving Product with Fuel Cells," will be part of the Plenary 5: End-User Forum being held in Ballroom A from 8:30-10:00 am today. Marsh will discuss Plug Power's background and current strategic plans, and will provide insight into the rapidly growing opportunities for worldwide adoption of environmentally friendly power solutions such as hydrogen-based fuel cells, in the material handling industry and beyond.
Marsh plans and directs all aspects of Plug Power's policies and objectives. He is focused on leveraging Plug Power's technological expertise, talented people and sales growth to position the company as a leader in the future alternative energy economy. A member of the Board of Directors for the California Hydrogen Business Council, a non-profit group comprised of organizations and individuals involved in the business of hydrogen. Previously, Marsh was the co-founder and CEO of Valere Power, a company that revolutionized the powering of broadband networks. He also had a distinguished career at Lucent Technologies, marketing and developing advanced power products. Plug Power is a trailblazer in the development and production of PEM fuel cells that use hydrogen and oxygen to create energy. Founded in 1997, the company has been expanding its reach with clients that have large material distribution centers in three major market segments: food distribution, retail and manufacturing. Plug Power currently has 44 total site deployments, including BMW Manufacturing in South Carolina, which operates the largest hydrogen fuel cell fleet in North America at its 4 million square foot production facility. Details of this highly impressive and successful implementation will be included in the presentation. A video overview of the BMW site can also be seen on the Plug Power homepage at www.plugpower.com .

Would You Ever Date A Criminal?
3. It Depends. For many people, the question of dating a criminal would depend on the crime, and on the criminal himself. Clearly there are victimless crimes in our society such as drug use (with lots of room for different opinions) and others, and violent crimes, which could not be ignored like rape, murder and armed robbery. If the person was not a violent criminal, then a romantic entanglement might be easier to envision, depending on the guy.
My own view tends to fall somewhere in the middle as well. I don't think I could date a violent criminal who had been proven guilty beyond any doubt, no matter how forgiving I should be or how remorseful he was. And I don't believe that someone should be an outcast and undeserving of love and affection just because he has been labeled a criminal by society. Like most everything else in life, the best answer to the question is, it depends. 3 Questions To Ask Before Dating An Ex-Con

GAMING NEWSBattlefield 3 Can Handle 256 Players, Goes Intimate InsteadPosted on Thursday, March 10 @ 00:09:36 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
When Game Revolution saw Battlefield 3 at GDC, we learned about the role earthquakes play in the game's single-player mode. EA and DICE really wanted to sell this part of the presentation and when an earthquake occurred in the demo, planted audience members stomped their feet on the slightly raised platform. Essentially, EA's PR reps hired a bunch of human rumble paks. Battlefield 3 details continue to leak and while the human-rumble-pak was impressive, certain multiplayer details are a bit more meaningful. Speaking with reporters DICE CEO Patrick Soderlund said that the upcoming sequel is capable of MAG sized matches: The current multiplayer specs for Battlefield 3 still fall below DICE's "fun-zone," but patience is a virtue. I doubt we'll have to wait very long for server-side mods to open up the battlefield to much larger matches. Dedicated servers are a wonderful thing, aren't they? Check out Battlefield 3 at PAX!

With the Oscars coming up, all of Hollywood's a-buzzing about one of this year's Best-Picture contenders: The Artist.
The silent film that's got people talking has won three Golden Globes already and has the potential to make movie history.
The only non-talkie ever to win an Oscar for Best Picture is William A. Wellman's Wings (1927), starring Clara Bow and Buddy Rogers. Now, 85 years later, The Artist has a chance to become the second silent film in history to win the Academy Award's top prize.
The film tells a story of a falling silent-film actor and a rising actress, who cross paths as the talkies are born. Most of the film itself is silent, with the exception of music, and was described by director Michel Hazanavicius as a "love letter to cinema."
Despite garnering favourable reviews from the critics, the picture has drawn some disapproval from movie-goers, who demanded ticket refunds after asserting that they were uninformed that the film was entirely silent.
Nevertheless, it appears that the film is bent on making a lot of noise in the movie industry and we should expect to see it a big winner at this year's Academy Awards.

Country star Kellie Pickler is causing quite a buzz today after shaving off all her hair.
However, it's not a new look she's trying out, or a cry for help like Britney Spears' stunt back in 2007. It's quite the opposite actually.
She lost her locks as a show of solidarity to her best childhood friend, Summer Miller, who is battling breast cancer and starts chemotherapy tomorrow. Pickler refers to Miller as her "sister" and decided to undergo the hair buzzing yesterday in Nashville alongside Miller, who received her diagnosis this past June.
Pickler alluded to the big reveal of her new hairless self on her Twitter yesterday tweeting, "It's been a great life-changing day." She followed it up an hour later with a tweet stating, "Be sure to watch "Good Morning America" tomorrow morning (Sept 5th). You won't want to miss this!!! ;)"
Pickler sent us this exclusive video of the head shaving in action. She explained that Summer is only 35, and in addition to helping her friend through a tough time, she wanted to spread the message that early detection is key.
"Cancer does not discriminate," Pickler said in a statement to ABC News. "If this compels even one person to change their mentality toward waiting until the age of 40 for their mammogram, then it will be worth it," Miller added.

Project Everlasting: The Chemistry of Life-Long Love
By YourTango
TANGO: Congratulations! Still, this was a big project to take on…
Mat: I've been taught from an early age that you need to visualize your dreams. We knew we had to do this right. We wanted to do the road trip of all times. TANGO: So your next step was…? Mat: [Laughing] Well, Jason's really good at Photoshop, so we created a "vision board." We put up all these pictures of RVs, visualized leaving June 1. The only problem was…
TANGO: Yeah?
Mat: We were broke! I was selling LifeAlert…
TANGO: Huh?
Mat: You know, "Help, I've fallen, and I can't get up!" Jason: And I was selling chicken and living off residuals of a commercial I'd done.
TANGO: Wow. It's a long way from there to…
Mat: Yeah. Finally, we got sponsors, and a shiny, new 36' RV. So with that, and our credit cards, we figured we could just about get across the USA. We had already done 150 interviews on the West Coast. We decided to build our dream team.
TANGO: So who came with you?
Mat: My grandma did.
TANGO: Really!?
Mat: Yeah. She was 88 at the time. She just turned 89. Jason and I were mad at each other for most of the trip. Grandma was our shining example of "be in the moment."
TANGO: What kinds of moments did you hope to find? J
ason: Well, 30,000 people emailed us, wanting us to interview their grandparents. We had interview forms up to here [Editor's note: he gestures to his knee.] Really, we were looking for anything dramatic or heartwarming.
TANGO: You said neither of you come from a writing background. How did you know how to do interviews?
Mat: [laughing] My mom said, "Study Barbara Walters." In the beginning, we were asking three-part questions that were five minutes long. And these were old people! Finally, one guy looked at me and said: "Son, I'm not really sure what you just asked me…"
TANGO: So what was the most heartwarming part of the journey?
Jason: When they packed goodie bags for us. I mean, fruit juice, cookies…one lady said, "I made you my special peach cobbler." We were such fat-asses by the end of the trip!

Calbee Comercials
This submission is currently being researched & evaluated!
You can help confirm this entry by contributing facts, media, and other evidence of notability and mutation.
Calbee Commercials are a series of TV advertisements launched by Japanese snack company Calbee for their potato chips product. One of the most notable ones feature a dog trying to cheer up a young boy by performing several odd stunts.
Many stills and videos bear the Japanprobe.com watermark. It is likely that Japanprobe has been the largest amplifier of the meme in the English-speaking world.
In November of 2007, Japanprobe.com first blogged about the bizarre commercial for Calbee Consomme Punch flavored potato chips in which the giant dog tries to cheer up a small boy, in a post entitled Bizarre Japanese Potato Chip Commercial. It should be noted that the video originally embedded in the post has been removed, but most re-uploads still bear the Japanprobe.com watermark.
In February of 2008, Japanprobe.com covered the second commercial of the series in a post entitled Bizare Japanese Potato Chip Commercial Part II.
In October of 2010, Japanprobe.com once again revisited Calbee's potato chip commercials, covering a new ad campaign that no longer focuses on the dog, in a post entitled Weird Calbee Potato Chip Commercials.
A TinEye image search reveals that the following animated GIF has appeared on various forums in English and Spanish since 2009. Most variations are simply re-sized and cropped, but show little addition or mutation.
In May of 2010 the image was posted in the comments section of ONTD on LiveJournal.
In July of 2010, the Clapping Calbee Dog gif was posted to stonerparty.tumblr.com where it received 155 notes.

I read that Daffodil Tazetta does not need chilling to bloom but can it grow well in hot tropical climate around 25-30C throughout the year? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Tazetta is the name given to those daffodils that are Division 8 daffs. According to the American Daffodil Society Division description The Tazettas are often used for forcing for early season bloom indoors. Though some do not require a cooling period for them to bloom, some do require it. Geranium, a Tazetta, can be grown in zones 3-8, per this on line seller Minnow, another Tazetta is grown in zones 3-8 per the same seller Avalanche, another Tazetta can be grown in zones 6-8 per this site I suggest that when ordering daffs that you just check the zone first if you don't want to have to chill them yourself. Sue |
I know I'm not 'tropical' (right now I wish!!!) - However, I know the jonquils really 'dig in' and pull themselves down quite deeply to the cooler zones of the soil, so the bulbs stay at a more even temperature. For me they are the first to show leaves and the last to lose them - so they're definitely around as summer comes in, and can take a fair bit of heat. I'm not sure about sustained heat, though, and the equability of tropical areas. On checking through the books on hand - they're suggested for the northern parts of Australia - and in the warmer zones of South Africa. My own local reference puts them as good for zone 10. (You could try a search on the Oz Forum for jonquils in Northern Territory and Queensland.) If you can manage morning sun and afternoon shade, plus reliable water and a deep but free-draining soil it is probably worth trying them. |
Unfortunately, I stay in a flat and can only plant in pots. So far I have not heard about anyone having successfully grow them in tropical climate and get them to rebloom. |

Ingredients by
Roasted Swede with Parmesan
This is another version of a parsnip recipe from my Christmas book. It has been said that even children will eat swede when it tastes this good. Vegetarians might like to know that a vegetarian parmesan-style cheese is available from www.bookhamcheese.co.uk
Serves 4-6
Oven temperatures and Conversions |
Click here for information |
Equipment |
You will also need a large solid baking tray 14 x 10 inches (35 x 25.5 cm). |
This recipe is from Delia Smith's Winter Collection
Begin by combining the flour, Parmesan and a seasoning of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Now pop the swede into a saucepan, cover with boiling water, add some salt, bring back to boiling point then cover and simmer for 3 minutes.
Meanwhile have a kitchen tray ready, then drain the swede and while it is still steaming drop the wedges, using kitchen tongs, a few at a time, into the bowl to coat them with the flour and cheese. Do this quickly as the coating will only stick if they're still steamy.
Then lay them out on the tray to cool, and refrigerate until you are ready to cook. For this you need to place the baking tray in the oven while it's pre-heating, putting enough oil on the tray to cover the base and adding a knob of butter for flavour.
Then when the oven is up to heat remove the baking tray, place it over direct heat turned to low and arrange the prepared swede wedges on it side by side.
Baste the tops with the hot fat then transfer them to the oven, using an oven glove, to bake for 20 minutes. After that, turn them over, remove any excess fat from the tin and continue to bake them for a further 15-20 minutes or until they're crisp and golden.

I laugh a lot. It's one of the most life-sustaining things you can do....I really think something healing happens when you have a gut-busting laugh.
- Mariska Hargitay
I like to exercise. So much that I spend my lunch break at the gym (don't worry, I eat at my desk afterward). All that working out has made me strong and fit. But that doesn't mean I'm athletic.
Far from it. I'm pretty uncoordinated. Sometimes downright klutzy (I mean, I blew out my knee landing awkwardly while jumping in boot-camp class). Some people instinctively move in a biomechanically perfect way, getting maximum results with the least wear-and-tear on their bodies. Me, I need a lot of instruction and practice before I can do a new exercise with proper form.
A month and a half ago I injured my hip running (I'm sure my unbalanced gait had something to do with it) so I decided to try something low impact at the gym: the rowing machine. Get someone to show you the right technique, I thought. Or you'll end up hurting yourself again.
A trainer gave me a quick demo and set me up on one of the machines. I tried to follow his instructions but I still wasn't getting the hang of it. "Watch him," the trainer said, nodding toward the guy on the rowing machine on the other side of the stairs. "Now that's perfect technique."
The trainer went to help another gym member. I kept rowing, sneaking glances at the guy across the way and trying to mimic his motions. After 20 minutes, I was getting blisters on my palms from gripping the handle. I was done.
The guy stopped rowing at the same time. I don't usually talk to people on the gym floor; I don't want to interrupt their workout. But something made me walk over to him and ask, "Excuse me, I couldn't help noticing you have perfect form. Would you mind showing me the right way to row?"
"Sure." He seemed a little shy at first but once he started breaking down the rowing stroke for me, he got into it. "There's the recovery, the catch, the drive and the finish," he said, then proceeded to explain in great detail the body movements and positioning, the proper biomechanics, for each phase. "Sorry," he said, "I'm probably boring you. I get all geeked out when I talk about rowing."
"I'm not bored," I said. "I'm totally uncoordinated, so I'm really grateful you took the time to explain everything." Then I asked, "Why do you know so much about rowing? Are you a rower?" (Clearly I'm not shy.)
"I was on the crew team in college," he said. "Ithaca."
That wasn't the name on his jersey. "What's Vesper?"
"A rowing club in Philly."
"Did you row there after college?"
"No," he said. "Oklahoma City."
"What's in OKC?" One of my college roommates was a rower, and I didn't remember her mentioning crews from Oklahoma.
He got all shy again and answered so softly I had to ask him to repeat himself.
"The National High Performance Center," he said.
"National... wait, you were on the U.S. rowing team?"
He nodded.
Wow, I couldn't have dreamed up a better rowing coach! I thought. Before I had a chance to tell him that, his phone rang and he dashed off to take the call.
I've been doing rowing workouts–with good form–several times a week ever since. I'd like to thank my high performance rowing coach, but I never saw him at the gym again.
Colleen would call him an angel on earth. Adam would say I had a mysterious encounter. I'm going to think positive and say they're both right. Someone was looking out for me at the gym that day, someone who always knows exactly the help I need.
Amy Wong is the executive editor of Guideposts and was a founding editor of Positive Thinking. She lives in New York City with her adopted dog, Winky, a natural-born positive thinker who believes that everyone has a treat for her and every day is the best day of her life. Amy hopes to be that optimistic someday (she's working on it!).

My Hedychiums will be blooming soon and was wondering how to pollenate them to create seed. Anyone have tips? Here's the ginger from last summer. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by hoosierbob 6 (My Page) on Thu, Aug 29, 13 at 15:00
Hey Tim! Bob in Indiana here. I did a bit of internet research and found that the male and female parts are somewhat fused in hedychium, so that unlike, say, daylilies, you don't have distinct parts. The long piece out of the middle of the flower has the stigma (receptive female part) on the tip and just below that, the wide part (anther, with pollen). Theoretically, you just take the pollen and put it on the stigma above or onto that of another plant. I have NO experience with producing ginger seed, so I hope someone else will chime in with some tips for you. I know some species like greenii are supposed to be sterile, so there may be some plants that won't make seed for you no matter what you do. I am guessing your plant is Tara...mine is blooming here, too. A beautiful flower with lots of color and not much fragrance. It's been a very reliable bloomer for me, in a 5-gallon pot. Is yours in the ground? Hope that information is somewhat helpful. I'm going to include a picture from the internet that you may find of use. Bob |
- Posted by jamesmaloy 8b Florida (My Page) on Sat, Aug 31, 13 at 1:44
Hi Tim, What Bob said is pretty much all you to know to pollinate, You may have insects around that will do the job for you so if you really want to make a cross with two different ones you will want to cover that area with a plastic bag or something to keep the bees moths etc from pollinating them for you. Last year I had many hedychiums produce seed and I didn't pollinate any of them, although I have in the past. The most important thing is that when the seed do set and mature they have a someone short shelf life you need to plant soon after they mature. And by the way I would love to trade you one of mine for one of your. Please email if interested. James Maloy in Florida |

1st Asian Tiger Mosquito
by Tony Primerano on Jul.16, 2007, under Life, stupid stuff
Its been so dry this summer that I saw my 1st Asian Tiger Mosquito last night. Last year I suspect they were out by May. These things are much faster than normal mosquitoes and they are sneaky too. They seem to intentionally stay out of your line of sight.
The Maryland page about these mosquitoes does not mention Montgomery County but I have seen them for at least 2 years now.
Sunrocket disaster
by Tony Primerano on Jul.16, 2007, under Life, stupid stuff, tech
I've been a happy Sunrocket customer for over 2 years. So when I started seeing blog posts that said they were going under I didn't worry too much. I figured the worst case would be a skeleton crew and poor support while they tried to sell us to Vonage or another provider. Acquiring new customers is expensive so other providers would be crazy not to jump in and do a deal.
We'll I'm not sure who was doing the dealing but instead of selling us they just shut the service off tonight. Can you imagine? 200,000 VOIP customers cut off. Calling (um surfing) around for new service.
I'm sure Vonage and ViaTalk have their phones ringing off the hook. I'm sorry I didn't find a new service last week when all the rumors were flying.
Now. I'm stuck with no phone for at least another 24 hours and I may never get my phone number back (which I have had for 9 years now).
On the bright side I still have the Sunrocket gizmo that I plan on using with my new service.
I am just blown away by how poorly managed this bankruptcy was. I can't think of a worse outcome for the employees, customers and the venture capitalist. They threw away millions by not selling the customers to a competitor.
Ceiling Fans in the summer
by Tony Primerano on Jun.25, 2007, under Life, stupid stuff, tech
I'm under the impression that ceiling fans in an air conditioned house in the summer will actually raise your cooling bill.
In all cases your taking hot air off the ceiling and mixing it with the cooler air below. Now instead of having 90 degree heat next to your 120 degree attic you are putting cooler air up there. This higher differential means that more heat is going to move from the attic to your living space.
So skip the fan and keep the heat on the ceiling where it belongs.
Also. I find that people obsess over the direction of their fan rotation but it makes almost no difference. "I'm pulling the cold air off the floor" they'll say. Yeah right. Your circulating the air in the room resulting in a fairly even temperature. Direction doesn't change the end result much. The only difference is if you want to feel the breeze.

Stealing Used Coffee Grounds
by Tony Primerano on Apr.17, 2007, under stupid stuff, tech
With Earth Day approaching I figured I would share something I have been doing recently. A few times a day I goto all the coffee machines near my work cube and steal the used coffee grounds. I'm not really stealing them since they are heading for the trash. I'm rescuing them! They make good fertilizer and compost. I take about 1 lb of grounds home each day for composting and fertilizing. I use the Tupperware I brought my lunch to work in. You don't want to put them in anything that may spill in your car.
Recently we all received some Goody cans at work with various stuff in them. I think people have been throwing them out. I've been snagging unwanted cans, filling them with coffee grounds and planting stuff in them. Every little bit helps. I need to take a picture of one of my creations and put it here.
Unlock that Equity!!!
by Tony Primerano on Oct.28, 2006, under stupid stuff
When people take out loans they get the Federal Truth in Lending paperwork.. do they read it or understand it? I think people need a dose of truth before they step foot into the bank. I understand that banks need to make money but I think some of the current advertising slogans have gotten out of hand.
My favorite is "unlock the equity in your home". Oh no. My money is in jail. I gotta bail it out and… spend it. After all it is my money!
This isn't really your money.. You borrowed it to buy your home. So a better way to describe these loans is..
- "The Postpone your retirement loan"
- "The Pillage your nest egg loan"
- "The give the house back loan. Renter for life!"
Yeah. I don't think the banks like those loans names. People really like to look at equity as their money. Mine mine mine!.. This is how the government is going to kill social security. Eventually a large enough portion of the population will be dumb enough to say. Don't put "MY" money in to social security.. I want it back, I can manage it myself and get better returns.
Some people can but the majority of the people will just spend it. So much for retirement.
wind chill
by Tony Primerano on May.18, 2006, under stupid stuff
While I have cold weather on my mind lets talk about wind chill.
Question: if the wind chill is 25 degrees Fahrenheit will water freeze?
Answer: There isn't enough information to decide.
At 35 degrees with 15 MPH winds the wind chill is 25 degrees. Water isn't going to freeze.
If there is no wind it is 25 degrees and water will freeze.
Wind Chill is about how cold it feels. Not how cold it is.
Hot water freezes faster than cold water
by Tony Primerano on May.18, 2006, under stupid stuff
Debunking stupid stuff. entry 1.
Hot water freezes faster than cold water. yeah whatever. I have heard this from many people over the years. I think they confused cooling speed with time to actually freeze.
Put 1 gallon of 90 degree water outside when it is 20 degrees out and 1 gallon of water that is at 60 degrees.
The 90 degree bucket is going to drop 10 degrees much faster than the 60 degree bucket but the fact of the matter is that the 60 degree bucket has a 30 degree head start and when the 90 degree bucket is at 60 it will have slowed down to the same speed that the 60 degree bucket was at at the start of the race. But its well below 60 now.
Maybe someone will google this and be enlightened.
Of course there is the Mpemba effect but that is a special case and it probably not going to occur when you put hot tap water into your ice cube trays.

APCO Publishes ANSI Approved Standards
The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International released the Core Competencies and Minimum Training Standards for Public Safety Communications Supervisor (APCO American National Standard (ANS) 3.102.1-2012) after receiving final approval from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) on December 7, 2012.
This APCO ANS focuses on competencies and training for the position that is typically tasked with managing daily operations, performing administrative duties and maintaining employee relations within public safety communications centers.
"While this standard is important for those already in a supervisory role, it also provides direction for those who aspire to be a supervisor," said APCO President Terry Hall.

USFA Releases Cooking Report
According to a new report from the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), cooking remained the leading cause of all residential building fires and injuries for the period 2008-2010. The report, Cooking Fires in Residential Buildings (2008-2010), addresses the characteristics of these fires and is based on data from the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS).
Findings from the report developed by the USFA's National Fire Data Center include:
- An estimated average of 164,500 cooking fires in residential buildings occurred in the United States each year.
- These fires resulted in an annual average of 110 deaths, 3,525 injuries and $309 million in property loss.
- Residential building cooking fires peaked from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. when many people were preparing the evening meal.
- Confined fires, those fires limited to the cooking vessel, accounted for 94 percent of residential building cooking fires.
- Oil, fat and grease (51 percent) were the leading types of material ignited in larger, more widespread cooking fires in residential buildings.

Afghan mullahs push peaceful protest in wake of Quran-burning violence
More Qurans were inadvertently burned during recent Afghan protests than by the US pastor Terry Jones. Spiritual leaders in Kandahar called a meeting to teach Afghans how to channel their passions peacefully.
Rahmat Gul/AP
Kandahar, Afghanistan
As the dust settles in Afghanistan after sustained protest over a Florida pastor's Quran burning, many residents in Kandahar are facing an unpleasant truth: More Qurans were burned in the course of their protests than by Terry Jones.
The demonstrations, which started peacefully, quickly turned violent, killing at least nine people and injuring scores in Kandahar City alone. And as protesters vandalized a girls' school and set fire to shops, Qurans also inadvertently went up in flames.
"If they burn a shop, there is a Quran in every shop, so this is a big problem," says Azizullah Aziz, a perfume and soap salesman in Kandahar City. "People don't know how to protest."
On Wednesday, the province's top spiritual leaders moved to address the irony – and promote restraint at a time when passions are running high over the US war effort. They called a shura, or meeting, and told the crowd of several hundred people that gathered in a tent at Kandahar University how to protest in an Islamic manner.

WACOM digitizer and pressure sensitivity
7 works with WACOM tablet OOB, but there's no pressure sensitivity. If you install WACOM drivers you get pressure sensitivity but you lose almost all features of tablet PC support, e.g. the cursor becomes a normal mouse, you don't get the virtual keyboard side panel, and the right click doesn't work as designed. Has anyone resolved this issue?

My Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet works fine in Win7 64bit. I'm using the 5.1.0-4 Vista drivers.

I am in the same situation as fillup. I believe my pointer looks the same as a normal mouse, but I have never used a Tablet PC. I notice there are several areas in the Control panel that might effect your settings, like Pen and Touch, Mouse, and Tablet PC.
In the mouse panel there is a check box at the bottom of the pointers tab for allowing themes to change the mouse pointer. Have you tried that already? There is also a mouse pointer setting under the "Ease of Use" panel. You might try changing that to see if it effects your pointer. |
My System Specs |
02 Feb 2009 | #5 |
My concern isn't the pointer, it's the overall behaviour
When it works as intended (tablet pc mode), to get a right-click menu you have to depress the stylus side button and tap the screen, when it's in its "mouse pointer mode" the right click menu pops up at any moment you press the stylus side button which is pretty annoying. Right now I'm in a weird situation - it works as designed everywhere except for the tablet aware apps (like Photoshop). In Photoshop the calibration is WAY off, and I mean it's like only the upper-left quarter of the screen is affected by stylus movement on the whole screen, and if I manage to open a canvas, the pressure sensitivity works |
My System Specs |
02 Feb 2009 | #6 |
Well, I don't have Photoshop either, so I can't try to duplicate your problem. But maybe discussing it will help others.
On the table PC, the stylus calibration normally allows you to move the entire display area? When you open a window with Photoshop, it changes and stays within the confines of the PS window, but if you get out of the window, it goes back to the entire desktop? All I might think of would the percentage zoom effect this behavior? If you change the size of the PS window or the image zoom, does it still remain in only one quarter of the window? Do you have Aero Snap turned on? The reason I ask is because something might have been changed as far as how windows are handled and resized for this added feature in W7. If Photoshop has a trial version, I will download it and try my Bamboo Fun tablet, but of course, it still won't be on a table PC. |
My System Specs |
02 Feb 2009 | #7 |
I'm afraid I don't have any idea what the problem might be. I have an Intuos 2 and have pressure sensitivity in Photoshop Elements, and PhotoPaint. This is using the driver installed during the installation of Seven.

I am downloading CS4 now to try, but I found something you might check into. It appears CS4 is putting out a beta fix and is looking for testers. You might drop this person a line. It doesn't go into what fixes they are aiming for, but he could probably tell you.

Have you checked the services to ensure that the tablet services are enabled. I had this problem, when I first install my OS I turned off the tablet services because I did not use one, when I finally bought one I forgot to turn the services back on.
As a note if you are using multimonitor and you only want the tablet funtion to work on one screen (The main image) then turning off the tablet service may help. It is all a matter of preference. |
My System Specs |
03 Feb 2009 | #10 |
Okay, thanks for the replies.
Saltglass, I'll describe the behaviour better: Regardles of the Photoshop window's position, size, maximized state, etc, the pointer stays in the upper-left quarter of the screen. Also I'm actually using CS3. And is Aero Snap when you move a window close to the screen's edge it maximizes/takes a half of the screen? roy69, All the services are running, otherwise the "pointer star" functions wouldn't work |

Geoff Colvin harbored an extensive amount of experience in both business and related fields. Colvin now stands as the editor in chief of Fortune magazine. His articles and essays are frequently cited, and Colvin is now considered an expert in the corporate world.
Colvin argues that Americans can make it through tough times in excellent shape. He believes that companies can re-adapt to the digital economy and the globalization of business practices. He draws on the history of American economics, reminding the audience that optimism has always been the way to bet on American economy. He argues that we must retain our willpower to apply a positive outlook on change in companies, government, education and culture. The reactionary attitudes to change will effect the country's future in the greatest way.

Ask Slashdot: How Do You Fight Usage Caps?
Re:My Favourite Question Of All Time (353 comments)
Hah hah, reminds me of high school when a friend and I started a small web hosting company (pre dot com years). One night we received a frantic call from the local dial-up ISP where our server was co-located. Turns out one of our customers had started hosting some pretty tame stuff (mostly models in swim suits or underwear, but a few nudie pics) and it completely maxed our both our server and the ISP's bandwidth. It created an interesting legal situation given that the two web host owners were also minors - needless to say we had to turn off that user's account. Good times.

Today's top trends welcome a number of exciting magazine editorials that offer different perspectives on the seasons's top looks such as ethnic fashion and farm-inspired ensembles. From the tribal-inspired swimwear collection by Nea Santtana to The Antidote Hans Feurer editorial, there is no shortage of rich culture, vibrant hues and strong patterns among these pieces of clothing.
Alternatively, the Nicolas Russell by Cenon Norial III portrait series takes style cues from traditional farming attire and offers more modern and chic outfits for men.
Other noteworthy top-performing trends today include the 'Pure' shoe collection by Jean Nouvel. The collection contains vibrant footwear options made out of rubber that are designed to look like hi-top running shoes without laces. Available in red, black, white or yellow, these shoes perfectly complement a colorful, spring outfit. For more insight into today's footwear industries, you'll want to visit Trend Hunter's 2013 Trend Reports.

What would you vote in your garden this year as the plant that just wouldn't stop blooming? My vote goes for my Aster x frikartii 'Monch' which started blooming in early summer, sending up clouds of pale purple/blue blooms non stop, and even now tho it looks bedraggled is still trying to send up more blooms! It really was/is a champ in the bloom department for me!
Any votes from your garden? |

Indigofera amblyantha is always the longest bloomer for me, going non-stop from March to Nov. |
My Knockout roses were blooming until the hard frost last week, as well as a salvia I recently planted from PDN. Also I have a Dianthus blooming now. Sally |

My 2 recently purchased double Knockouts were blooming when I got them just before Thanksgiving - the freeze about 2 weeks ago (down to 19) did the blooms in, the leaves are still hanging in there. My Sheffield Pink mums, while not starting to bloom until late (Sept.-Oct.), were still trying to open the last few buds last week - another freeze (only 24!) finally did them in. Since I did almost NO watering this summer - 'thought my well was running out, but the pump was burning out instead, with much the same results, little or no water for long - so I can't really judge what might have done better. I have a semi-bushy, red salvia, which was a nameless gift, which was still flowering sporadically last week as well - I haven't been round that side of the house to look at it this week. |
I have a clematis that still has a flower blooming. I think its confused. It is Clematis "Elsa Spath" |
My Abutalon megapotamicum blooms almost year round and seems unphased by the recent 20 F here in Raleigh. |

You know Ralph, I have one of those larger Abutilons, the one called Canary Bird I think, kinda pale yellow flowers. That thing is outside in a pot, only slightly sheltered by a bale of straw and it is unfazed by the recent frosts! No flowers currently but not a single leaf has dropped. And to think I babied it for years, hauling it in an out every winter. |
my marion stewart was blooming right up until that last hard freeze, and actually still has green leaves on it. but i think the flower buds finally bit the big one. it does eventually go dormant. my longest blooming is probably the red cascade rose. i haven't checked since the last freeze, but it was loaded with bloom before that, and has had blooms nearly continuously since spring, even with the drought (i don't water it). the pink and yellow honeysuckle blooms most of summer, all fall and continues to half the winter for me, too. and my dortmund rose, until the freeze, had been blooming a few flowers nearly continuously since october. it's loaded with yummy hips i need to harvest now they're getting soft. |
I also have a coral honeysuckle (L. sempervirens?) that has half a dozen flowers on it right now. It has had at least a few flowers on it almost continuously since last spring, but has never been a heavy bloomer. Next to it I have a hybrid (probably L. x heckrottii) that is also evergreen and has flower buds but not producing flowers at the moment. The latter came from one of the '06 flower swaps and has profuse fragrant flowers in the spring and early summer. |
ralph, my coral honeysuckle has some blooms on it probably 10 or 11 months out of the year. i sort of forget it 'cause it's at the edge of the property. it does have one really heavy flush in early to mid spring where there are so many flowers the whole thing is red. so pretty. maybe yours just needs to mature some- i don't think mine started flushing the first few years. |
I have a small Arizona Sun blanket flower that I bought at Lowe's for $1. It still has two blooms on it. My pineapple sage blooms lasted later than they ever have. They were blooming up until a couple weeks ago. Ginger |

CE... Chemical Engineering? Certified Electrical? I am sorry but I am not familiar with that abbreviation- Carbon/Epoxy?
Chemical Engineering... just the sciences in college... physics, chemistry 1st year and the first half of O-chem... lot of lab work of course (making acetomenaphin, banana oil, other compounds... using mass-spectrometer adn analyzing output- now just reading, discussion, and some real-world application... you know how it is everything should incorporate some engineering and often requires it- but usally, for knowledge and experience, I'll find the smartest guys, lots at Schooner Creek, and then pay attention! Keep quiet unless to ask questions after I've thought about it (hopefully) Vic Tumor, Mike Ward, the owner Steve Rander- have a question about anything about any sailboat and they've seen it, done it, fixed it, designed it, and I was fortunate enough to be there to learn.
i've installed bow thrusters complete, stern thrusters complete (cored the hull, fit the vetus tube, motor, fiberglass support, additional battery bank, fuses, cabling and cabling runs... safety switch, and finally the thruster control at the helm- pick a spot, chase and secure the wire, cut into the bridge somewhere near the helm and install the control: test/sea trial
one auto pilot install I did on a 37 foot "crab-crusher" (full-keel) sailboat built in taiwan(?)... not a tayana and they weren't sure either... one of two they mentioned which I don't recall... anyway, it had a cage built around the base of the pedestal which held the sprockets feeding the quadrant and I believe was intended to be of structural assistance to the pedestal and perhaps the cockpit as well... anyway, I had to fabricate a steel base for the ram of sufficient strength and it had to sit with +/-5 deg. on plane over all three axes referenced of course to the rudder shaft... which followed the transom's angle which was raked towards the boat... but the real difficulty was calculating the exact position the ram had to sit in the air in order to be able to turn the quadrant fully in each direction and not be in the way of cables, the framing, or the hull as the boat was a double ender so space sqeezed rather abruptly and I had to do it all from a hole that my 6'4" frame could just hunch in to work... anyway... after cutting, welding, and installing it and everything else... the installation and calibration of the raymarine componects was cake...
Carbon/Epoxy: built some carbon fiber parts (one was the instrument panel on the Ocelot 43 which was touchy because the finish had to be perfect and the carbon mat the same... anyway then along with Carlos built and installed the carbon fiber knees in it and other stuff...
radars... satellite system repair on a fountain express cruiser 48? the system was KVH and a stop swich activator had failed so it wound the cable up and then returned an error and shut down after some twitching... they thought they had to pack it and ship it to NJ or wherever but since i have background i took a look and bought a serial port universal adaptor kit to query the unit through terminal emulation software and found out the problem... that was cool... solar panels and control units, lots of alternator changes, conversions,
balmar external regulators, gensets,
it's all coming back ugh... this is cathartic but sorry if I am winding on a bit ; )
or did you mean something else entirely lol and you? have you/do you crawl into all the places on a boat you hope you never have to see?

This is Vinay from Hyderabad, India. My uncle last Monday suffered with a Brain stroke and was immediately rushed to a hospital, where he underwent a CT Scan and the doctors ruled out bleeding and confirmed clot in the right side of the brain. He was given tPA within the window period (3 to 4.5 hrs). But, after 24 hours, the clot remained the same and the doctors say the condition is critical. I am very much tensed of the situation and wanted to know few things.Firstly, the patient was brought to hospital within three hours time and was given tPA, and his conscious levels have increased and he is still able to talk with us, though not clearly, he is able to express and talk everything he wants. His memory is also working absolutely perfect (he gave the mobile number of his son to one of his friends lying on the bed). Even after 2 days, he seems to be absolutely fine and the doctors say the condition may worsen. WHY? I am not able to know the reason for chances of condition worsening in this case.The doctors also say that the situation when worsen remains for couple of weeks and recovery may start beginning of third week. Will that be a serious condition?Doctor also said that the situation when starts deteriorating, symptoms can be seen. I want to know what sort of symptoms are visible.Please help me out in knowing things better. Waiting for your reply at the earliest.
Thanks and Regards,
Some say essiac tea/FlorEssence is a cure all, some say it's a complete scam. I am trying to put together a breast and general health maintenance regime and am considering adding a daily 1 oz. dose of essiac tea. I take buspar for anxiety with an occasional .50 xanax. Would like feedback of any kind regarding the tea and any possible drug interactions.
I have suffered from Irritable bowel for over 15 yrs, I have had tests for Bowel disorders, cancer, etc but all doctors keep doing is prescribing me with, various tablets, Sennacot, Lactulose, Buscapan, Mebeverine, etc and the list goes on. I have a bowel movement on average every 7 to 10 ten and occasionally up to 14 day or more, I get lethargic, hair loss, very bad skin due to I can only assume is a build up of toxins, extreme headaches and nausea, for several days have to limit my food intake as unable to eat, and when I do go the back log is extreme and very painful to pass. I have asked doctors about colonic irrigation, or any alternative therapies but they all poo poo the idea excse the punn, and just keep giving me more tablets which work for upto 3 months then seem to have less affect por none at all. My stomache often looks like I am several months pregnant and with two children I find I need as much energy as possible and find often am so tired all the time I want to sleep by 8pm or before not leaving any time for myself and my partner. If there is any information you can give me or advice or alternative herbal treatments I would be most grateful.
