Non-seismic Methods for Earth's Interior
Name: Caitlin S. Status: Student Age: 11 Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: February 25, 2004
Besides seismic waves from earthquakes, what other methods are used to find out about the Earth's interior?
Believe it or not, certain meteorites have given scientists clues about the Earth's interior. Along with seismic data, the chemical and mineral information from these meteorites has given scientists a pretty good idea of what is inside the Earth. There may be some information on a NASA web site about this--I would suggest that you do a little searching there.
Pat Rowe
Geographical measurements of changes in the magnetic field of the earth, and sensitive measurements of the local acceleration of gravity, measurement of residual magnetic fields in magnetic rocks, analysis of volcanic eruptions all provide information about the interior of the Earth of various sorts.

Bilbo Baggins is the title character and protagonist of J. R. R. Tolkien's 1937 novel The Hobbit, as well as a supporting character in The Lord of the Rings. In Tolkien's narrative conceit, in which all the writings of Middle-earth are translations from the fictitious volume of The Red Book of Westmarch, Bilbo is the author of The Hobbit and translator of various "works from the elvish" (as mentioned in the end of The Return of the King).
In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit in comfortable middle age at 50 years old, was hired in spite of himself as a "burglar" by the wizard Gandalf and 13 Dwarves led by their king Thorin Oakenshield on a quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain and its treasure from the dragon Smaug. The adventure took Bilbo and the companions through the wilderness, to the elf haven of Rivendell, across the Misty Mountains and the black forest of Mirkwood, to Lake-town in the middle of Long Lake, and eventually to the Mountain itself. Here, after the dragon was killed and the Mountain reclaimed, the Battle of Five Armies took place.
In his journey, Bilbo encountered other fantastic creatures, including trolls, elves, giant spiders, a man who can change shape into a bear, goblins, eagles, wolves and a slimy, murderous creature named Gollum. Underground, near Gollum's lair, Bilbo accidentally found a magic ring of invisibility, which he used to escape from Gollum.
By the end of the journey, Bilbo had become wiser and more confident, having saved the day in many gruesome situations. He rescued the dwarves from giant spiders with the magic ring and a short Elven-sword he acquired. He used the ring to sneak around in dangerous places, as well as his wits to smuggle the dwarves out of the elves' prisons. When tensions arose over ownership of the recovered treasure, he tried unsuccessfully to bring the opposing sides to compromise, using the Arkenstone, a stolen heirloom jewel, as leverage. This strained his relationship with Thorin, but the two were reconciled at Thorin's deathbed. At the end of the story, Bilbo returned to his home in the Shire only to find that several of his relatives, believing him to be dead, were trying to claim his home and possessions. In addition to becoming wealthy from his share of the dwarves' treasure, he found that he had traded respectability for experience and wisdom.
The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume of The Lord of the Rings, begins with Bilbo's "eleventy-first" (111th) birthday, 60 years after the beginning of The Hobbit. The primary protagonist of the novel is Frodo Baggins, Bilbo's cousin,[nb 1] who celebrates his 33rd birthday and legally comes of age on the same day.
In T.A. 2989 (S.R. 1389), Bilbo, a lifelong bachelor, adopted Frodo, the orphaned son of his first cousin Primula Brandybuck and his second cousin Drogo Baggins, and made him his heir. Though Frodo was actually "his first and second cousin once removed either way",[1] the two regarded each other as uncle and nephew.
All this time Bilbo had kept his magic ring, with no idea of its significance, using it mostly to hide from his obnoxious cousins, the Sackville-Bagginses, when they came to visit. Gandalf's investigations revealed it to be the One Ring forged by the Dark Lord Sauron. The Ring had prolonged Bilbo's life beyond the normal hobbit span, and at 111 he still looked 50. While the Ring did not initially corrupt him as it had its previous owners, it was beginning to affect him; over the years, it had begun to prey on his mind when out of his sight, and he lost sleep and felt "thin, sort of stretched … like butter that has been scraped over too much bread," as he said to Gandalf.[1]
On the night of his and Frodo's birthday, Bilbo announced his intent to turn his home and estate over to Frodo, put on the Ring and vanished from sight. As Bilbo prepared finally to leave the house, he reacted with panic and suspicion when Gandalf tried to persuade him to leave the Ring with Frodo. Bilbo refused to give up the Ring, referring to it as his "precious" – just as Gollum had in The Hobbit. Gandalf lost his temper with his old friend, talking some sense into him. Bilbo admitted he would have liked to be rid of the Ring, and he left it behind, becoming the first person to do so voluntarily. He left the Shire that night, and was never seen in Hobbiton again.
His earlier adventure, his eccentric habits as a hobbit, and his sudden disappearance led to the enduring figure of "Mad Baggins" in hobbit folklore, who disappeared with a flash and a bang and returned with gold and jewels.
Freed of the Ring's power over his senses, Bilbo travelled first to Rivendell, and then on to visit the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain. After he returned to Rivendell he spent much of the next 17 years living a pleasant life of retirement: eating, sleeping, writing poetry, and working on his memoirs, There and Back Again, known to us as The Hobbit. He became a scholar of Elven lore, leaving behind the Translations from the Elvish, which forms the basis of what is known to us as The Silmarillion.
When Frodo and the other Hobbits stopped in Rivendell on their quest to destroy the Ring, Bilbo was still alive but now visibly aged, the years having caught up with him after he surrendered the Ring. Upon seeing the Ring again, he suddenly tried to take it from Frodo; he returned to his senses when a terrified Frodo backed away, and he broke down in tears, apologizing for bringing the burden of the Ring onto Frodo.
After the quest to destroy the Ring was fulfilled in The Return of the King, Gandalf and the four Hobbits visited Rivendell on their way back to the Shire and found Bilbo still living there. He gave Frodo a set of manuscripts that later became Translations from the Elvish, and also gave Samwise Gamgee a small bag of gold that represented the last of his share from Smaug's vast hoard. Two years later Bilbo accompanied Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel, and Frodo to the Grey Havens, there to take ship for Tol Eressëa across the sea, on 29 September, T.A. 3021. He had already celebrated his 131st birthday by this time, surpassing the Old Took by one year and becoming the oldest Hobbit ever in Middle-earth, save for Gollum. (The natural lifespan of hobbits is about 100 years.)[2]
According to Appendix C of The Lord of the Rings, Bilbo was born to Bungo Baggins and Belladonna Took in T.A. 2890, or S.R. 1290. The Lord of the Rings gives the date of Bilbo's birthday as 22 September,[1] but the actual date in the Shire calendar was Halimath 22; Tolkien tells us in Appendix D that he "used our modern names" for the months "to avoid confusion, while the seasonal implications of our names are more or less the same," so that Halimath is translated as September, but that "the Shire dates were actually in advance of ours by some ten days, and our New Year's Day corresponded more or less to the Shire January 9."[3]
The Bagginses of Bag End were one of the oldest, wealthiest, and most respectable hobbit families in Hobbiton until the year 2941 (SR 1341), when Bilbo inexplicably disappeared on his adventure and was thought dead.
Tolkien's posthumously published poem "Bilbo's Last Song", illustrated by Pauline Baynes, describes Bilbo's contemplation of his forthcoming voyage to the Undying Lands. The illustrations evoke his last ride in the company of Elrond from Rivendell to the Grey Havens, as described in The Lord of the Rings.
In the 1968 BBC Radio serialization of The Hobbit, Bilbo was played by Paul Daneman.
Nicol Williamson portrayed Bilbo with a light West Country accent in the 1974 performance released on Argo Records.[4]
In the 1977 Rankin/Bass animated version of The Hobbit, Bilbo was voiced by Orson Bean. Bean also voiced both the aged Bilbo and Frodo in the same company's 1980 adaptation of The Return of the King.
In Ralph Bakshi's 1978 animated version of The Lord of the Rings, Bilbo was voiced by Norman Bird. Billy Barty was the model for Bilbo, as well as Frodo and Sam, in the live-action recordings Bakshi used for rotoscoping.
In the BBC's 1981 radio serialization of The Lord of the Rings, Bilbo is played by John Le Mesurier.
In the 1993 television miniseries Hobitit by Finnish broadcaster Yle, Bilbo is portrayed by Martti Suosalo.
In Peter Jackson's films The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) Bilbo is played by Ian Holm, who had played Frodo in the BBC radio series 20 years earlier.
In The Hobbit film series, a prequel to The Lord of the Rings film series also directed by Jackson, the young Bilbo is portrayed by Martin Freeman[5] while Ian Holm reprises his role as an older Bilbo.

I own SnapOn, Kennedy, Craftsman, etc. metal boxes, but bang for the buck and durability, these plastic boxes are perfect. Having purchased this 26", as well as the 17" and the 20" sizes when on sale for self and family, I like this box. It is reasonably rugged and with a comfortable tote handle that folds flat for stacking several, if overloaded, simply carry by the molded hand holds on each end. The bottom is obviously waterproof and the lid overlaps a lip when closed, so reasonably rain proof. If not for the two pins that the handle pivots on, it would be rain proof. On some, I remove the tray for more storage with taller or bulky items. The only improvement for myself, would be to mold the center of the tray so it would straddle say, a 2 X 4 on a sawhorse... as it is, it has a flat bottom with storage in the middle that some may prefer. Most everyone that shops at Sears/Kmart has seen this and other sizes on sale for about half and a great time to purchase a few.

Grandville, MI
via sears.com
I sometimes travel extended distances, and I want to make sure I have the tools I need when I get there. I purchased this box because another reviewer wrote it can carry the Craftsman two foot level (it does). But I also wanted a tough box to carry the sledge hammers, crow bars, wrecking bars, etc I normally need and use. (Don't want these heavy items banging around in my trunk or pickup bed.) There is quite a bit of weight when I load this box with all that gear, but the handle and the ribbed box handle it. (Note: if the box is unevenly loaded, the lid may not close completely, but a little pressure aligns it correctly.)
via sears.com
I think I have about 70 pounds worth of tools in this thing. My only complaint is that it's become annoying to actually carry it anywhere. I have never owned another plastic box that would support this much weight without breaking. I do notice that all the weight causes the front to kind of bow out so you have to push it in to line up the hasps when closing, but it seems to have no problem holding the weight. Even the plastic handle on the top still feels strong. I am looking to get another one so I don't have to lift one really heavy one, but two lighter ones!

concept of joint ventures in construction of houses is relatively new in the
country. This method is however gaining popularity and works well for
properties designed for sale. For a land owner, developing it adds more value
than selling the land undeveloped. In a joint
venture, the land owner enters into an agreement with a developer, contributing
land while the latter finances the project.
The profits are then shared on a
pre-agreed ratio with the land owner usually getting over 50 per cent of the
net profits. Architects and project managers can
also agree to contribute their professional services as part of the joint venture
and get paid at the end of the project when the profits are being split up.
Locally, most land owners and
property developers are used to traditional methods of financing construction
projects which involve raising capital by either selling part of the land or
borrowing a loan from a bank or both. With the entry of the joint venture concept,
land owners are now able to finance their construction projects more easily and
affordably. This concept has numerous advantages
for a land owner.
First, the land owner reduces the risk associated with bank
loan repayments such as sudden increase in interest payments which result to project
cost escalation.
Secondly, the land owner can easily
access funds for construction since he/she will not have to undergo the
rigorous bank loan application appraisal process.
Thirdly, the owner is able to tap
resources and obtain services from consultants such as architects, engineers,
quantity surveyors without having to pay initial consultancy fees since the
consultants can offer their services as part of the joint venture contribution.
The method however has its drawbacks.
Once the construction process starts, land in the general area of the project
increases in value. This increase in value is supposed to be well-captured in
the joint venture contract so that the increase can be well-spread to all partners
including the owner, financier and consultants. This will avoid tussles such as
those recently witnessed at Suraya and one of the land owners.
Financing a JV
In Kenya, Shelter Afrique Bank finances
joint venture projects. For the projects to be eligible for financing, a feasibility
study carried out by a registered architect, quantity surveyor or valuer must
be availed. The feasibility study should show
critical minimums such as return on investment, target market and land value
ratio to the total project cost. These critical features will be used to check
if the project is viable for the joint venture. One such projects being financed by
Shelter Afrique is Everest Park along Mombasa Road, consisting 380 units. The
project cost is Sh1 billion.

Hey guys, I'm here for the update on my 24 day challenge.
So I've completed the cleanse (10 days) and I must say I feel great. I don't feel sluggish as I usually do and I have more energy throughout the day. My schedule isn't like normal peoples' because I work graveyard. So when it comes to the weekends, I usually just sleep for 5 hours and wake up so I can enjoy the day. It kinda throws off the challenge a little because sometimes 2 days will combine into 1 day(if that makes any sense). I still get cravings for certain foods but that is a part of the process. I feel my stomach shrinking and I get full fast. My mindset has been changing. When I look at foods now, I think more on how it can benefit me or how it can't benefit me.
To do this challenge or any diet change....you really have to be in control of your mind because for the most part..its all in your head. I've overcame cravings due to water and just occupying myself so I don't think about it anymore. And my determination to finish this challenge strong also helps.
Some of my friends have asked me "Do you feel skinny?" To be honest, I have no idea what that question means. All I can say is I feel better. I have more energy. "Do you feel lighter?"....Ummm...I'm a pretty heavy person. But to answer that question...The more energy i have now makes it seem I am lighter because I'm moving around in a quicker pace than usual.
14 more days to go. Shout out to all my friends that are on a diet before Christmas. We can do it. I pray each and every one of us have a stronger mind as the days pass and that we continue to encourage one another. Remember, don't underestimate the power of your own determination. You can do it if you really want it. But ask yourselves....How bad do you want?

Justices Rule Trial Court "improvidently" Dismissed Foreclosure Complaint
CONTACT: Jason Lobo
Phone: 703.652.1660
Reston, Virginia, October 24, 2012— MERSCORP Holdings, Inc. today announced that a four-justice panel of an Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court recently granted Bank of New York's request for the appointment of a referee to conduct the foreclosure sale of the property, reversing a state trial court's dismissal of the foreclosure complaint.
In Bank of New York v. Alderazi, Justices Mark C. Dillon, Ariel E. Belen, Leonard B. Austin and Sandra L. Sgrol overturned the lower court's decision, which ruled that Bank of New York (BONY) lacked standing to foreclose on the borrower's mortgage because BONY could not prove that Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS) had authority to assign its interest in the borrower's mortgage to the foreclosing lender, BONY.
The October 17, 2012, opinion written by Justice Dillon held that BONY submitted "the mortgage, the note, the verified complaint setting forth the facts establishing a claim, and evidence of the mortgagor's [borrower's] default" to support its standing to foreclose and, therefore, the trial court should have granted the renewed motion for the appointment of a referee to conduct the foreclosure sale.
"The Appellate Court justices were clear in their reversal of the lower court decision," Janis Smith MERSCORP Holdings' vice resident for Corporate Communications said. "Not only did they note that the lower dismissal was incorrect, but they also firmly established that all appropriate documentation was valid."

As the Hammer Strikes
A picture is conjured up which seems to fix the sense unambiguously. The actual use, compared with that suggested by the picture, seems like something muddied… In the actual use of expressions we make detours, we go by side-roads. We see the straight highway before us, but of course we cannot use it, because it is permanently closed. 'While I was speaking to him I did not know what was going on in his head.' In saying this, one is not thinking of brain-processes, but of thought-processes. The picture should be taken seriously. We should really like to see into his head… we have a vivid picture—and that use, apparently contradicting the picture, which expresses the psychical. —Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations 1
The title of John Massey's three-part film As the Hammer Strikes is puzzling. 2 It has something of an historical avant-garde ring to it. But upon viewing the film a couple of times, one begins to decipher the metaphorical use of the tool as it relates to the building of a common language, and to the way events, things, and words leave their stamp on memory. Stylistically and narratively, the film seems to operate through a theory of language laid out by Ludwig Wittgenstein in his Philosophical Investigations.
According to Wittgenstein, language is always practical. It is intended to do something. Language is a social convention and the meaning of words are determined by their use in language, hence the constantly shifting nature of the meaning of words as such. For Wittgenstein language is like a box full of tools: language is the use; it is something that we share in common; it is what we use to convey information as it relates to public life and the external world. According to Wittgenstein, there is not much sense in the idea of a "private language." Anything that is to be known as a language must be applicable to the external world and to individual experiences as it relates to a life in common: "An 'inner process' stands in need of outward criteria." 3 Language originates and exists in a social context. Memory and past experience may be particular to each individual but we are able to communicate in the way we do, despite cultural and physical differences, because of our common capacity for memory, feeling, and linguistic acquisition, and our inherently social nature.

North College Improvements
The City of Fort Collins and Colorado Department of Transportation are working in tandem to bring North College Avenue/ US Highway 287 (from Jefferson Street to the city limits) the amenities needed to support traveler safety, economic vitality and community livability. With three sections of a four part project complete, the vision for this important northern gateway to Fort Collins is almost a full reality.
The City recently secured federal and local funding to complete the final section, Conifer Street to Willox Lane, and design work is now underway. As in previous phases of the North College Improvements project, the design team is working closely with the public, specifically the North Fort Collins Business Association, to develop design plans which meet City and State goals, yet still work with existing businesses. The City aims to begin construction on this last piece of the overall project in 2014.
Conifer to Willox Project
The Project
This project will design, acquire rights-of-way, and construct multimodal, roadway, and utility improvements along North College Avenue between Conifer Street and Willox Lane. The City of Fort Collins recently completed improvements to North College directly north of the proposed project limits, as well as south of the proposed project. Constructed improvements brought these sections of North College up to the City's current street standards. The section of North College from Conifer Street to Willox Lane is the only remaining section of North College to be addressed in order to complete the City's vision for the corridor.
Map of North College Improvements North College Corridor Plan North College Urban Renewal Plan US 287/SH 14 Access Management ReportProject Goals

- Maintain compatibility with utilities, including stormwater, water, sewer, power, and communications
- Support the economic viability of the project area
- Upgrade the image of the North College Corridor while minimizing impacts to existing infrastructure
- Maintain compatibility with the intent of previous local planning efforts
- Coordinate with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT)
Anticipated Improvements
- Multimodal Improvements: on-street bike lanes, pedestrian facilities, upgraded transit stops
- Defined and Consolidated Access points
- Medians
- Sections of Rear Access Roads
- Drainage Improvements
- Utility upgrades
- Pavement Improvements
- Landscaped Parkways
- Urban Design Elements
Project Funding
The City has secured both local and federal funds to design the improvements as well as acquire right-of-way for the project. The anticipated overall project budget falls between $10-$12 million. Currently, available funds include:
Federal Funds - $6.8 mil
Local Funds - $5.2 mil
Total Project Budget - $12.0 mil
Project Schedule
Utility Relocations: Begin June 2014 through Fall 2014
Rear Access Road: Begin July 2014 through Fall 2014
North College Improvements: Begin Sept 2014 through Fall 2015
Public Outreach
Similar to the previous North College projects, the design team is working closely with the public, specifically the North Fort Collins Business Association (NFCBA) to develop design plans which meet City and State goals yet still work with existing businesses. Staff will be attending the monthly NFCBA meetings to provide monthly updates and to answer questions.

Linking you to resources and support in the lung cancer community!
Friends, In these last few years I've seen and participated in many discussions from diagnosis to surgery and chemo to recurrence. But I've not seen your thoughts on when 'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH'
After two operations, and three different chemos over these last six years, I found the last chemo to be doing more damage than good. There no longer was talk of a cure. From now on it was 'keep it in check.' So I then faced life on chemo. It turned out to be 'life in bed' as my legs and feet became immoveable. Like being paralzyed. i had always suffered with neuropathy but this time it crept into my hands and it became impossible to type. And walking was no longer something I could do.
After what I think was careful consideration, one day last month when I was to get chemo, I told the oncologist I'd had it. I have no idea when the end might come but I wanted it to be on my terms and I wanted to walk.
Since then I put myself into Hospice and it's been a wonderful experiene. There are now lots of people taking care of me, they all have different missions. And since this time, feeling in my hands has returned and I can walk. Not well. I fall a lot - but i have canes, a walker and a scooter. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate things I took for granted!
But here's my question to you .... would you have done the same thing? Will you? What would go into your thinking? Do you feel this is 'giving up' or just 'going your way' .... I would love to hear your thoughts.

Hi Mekbride,
Its a date,I am so looking forward to meeting up with you and GADawg,theres still time to put your name down for LUNGevity's Hope Summit too, you know.I actually have been invited as a guest speaker also.bye for now.
Eric and MEK,
How fun! I'd be honored to be MEK's escort and meet up with a fellow Scot (I have relatives in Jura). MEK will let me know when and where, I'm sure. It's a date-
Ultimatley mekbride, the decision is yours, but that decision MUST come from your heart. Once you have come to terms with which way you are going I think life will no longer have a time line. If you truly decide to stop treatments you should never look back and regret it. To me that would mean the decision wasn't made honestly. Again, no one but you can make this decision. Everyone around you will choose their paths when you choose yours. If my son gets up in the morning and uses the last of the milk in his cereal, I may get up, see there is no milk and make pancakes(this would make my daughter happy). Granted this decision is not as easy as that but what I am getting at is, we all work independently but as a whole.
I was always told to live life as is it was your last day on earth, but that seemed rather selfish to me. So now I live life like the person standing in front of me is living their last day on earth. What a difference that has made in my life.
David, you are so right about the decision making, and I love the idea of the person standing in front of you.
I was at the Cancer Center yesterday as each month I have to have my port flushed. Everyone kept talking about how good I looked, and how alive. After that was finished, my husband and I went scootering for the next four-five hours. We ate lunch out doors, bought some things here and there - and overall just had a great day. In the middle of the day we stopped at a hardware store owned by people we know. I had not seen these people in years so it was quite a reunion. The first thing I thought was how great it was to see them - and how much I had missed seeing people (because chemo draws me into a turtle shell.) The second thing was I overheard their conversation with my husband, talking about how good I looked and they couldn't get over it.
While I believe it's in the genes, I also believe the life in my eyes and body come from being in the real world again, and how delighted I am to have made the decision I did.
You are absolutely correct! Hugs, mek
Hi Mekbride - You so impressed me with your courage and doing what I hope whenever the time comes, be able to do. I had a horrible reaction to chemo back in February and thought then I couldn't do this again but at the moment still have the fight. I like to think that, like you, finally say enough is enough when the benefits are less than the quality of life. Thankfully I have a doctor will not put treatment above quality of my life. I think at some point in the fight you have to listen to your body and intuition and know, as you say, enough is enough. You can't go wrong with hospice care, those people are amazing people, and I believe angels put on Earth for us.
mekbride.... I only started chemo this past February, last week was my 3rd treatment. I am sitting here feeling shaky, queasy, wondering how the contents in my disgestive system will come out, and how difficult the treatment makes something that easy very hard. """After two operations, and three different chemos over these last six years""" i think would have said enough is enough a long time ago. I don't remember having 'difficulties' being exposed to this Small Cell Lung Cancer as it was happening. You are very brave.... and the medical field is meant to 'save' but some times at one point, I too would just put it in God's hands.
Maribeth and Ronnie, Both of you have a long way to go!
I remember attending a function at Lung Cancer Alliance where I met the most amazing people. But even more amazing than their attitudes was the fact that they had been going on for 5-10 years and more! I know that's what my doctors had hoped for me. But oh what a wonderful six years I had. In fact I remember going thru Chemo I and first operation thinking very little. Just feeling. (ugg). But I promised myself some 'treats' if I made it thru - and I did make it thru - and I did learn to swim and I did go snorkeling in Cozumel Mexico Somthing I probably would have never done had it not been for chemo I!!!!
Now I no longer swim, but what wonderful memories I have. And after swimming I went to St Petersburg where I bought these beautiful Russian dolls. We are putting them up on a shelf for the first time, this weekend. My pain has gotten quite worse and they've increased my pain killing meds. I suspect I will be sleeping more. But when I wake up, I will be surrounded by my beautiful Russian dolls.
So I say to both of you - hang in there as you have many many wonderful days ahead. Make the most of them, do what you've always wanted to do as you are in recovery, and surround yourself with beautiful things. (I actually went out and bought an $80 bottle of perfume - something I never would have done before - and I keep wonderful smells around me too!)
Thank you for responding. I feel we have a very special community. Hugs, mek
What an amazing person you are ,an inspiration to all the people on this journey ,you have lived life to the full,in spite of or because of the cancer,it matters not.Now as you reach a different place ,I and I'm sure many others would like to say thank-you for your inspiration and courage, the last few weeks reading your e-mails has filled me with gratitude for life well lived, not only yours, but others who will follow your example to live life to it's fullest in the time they have the ability to do so.God Bless you
Pat, thank you for such lovely words and sentiments. I always found my inspiration from all the people I met along the way. Even the 'icky' ones... and while there were plenty of those, they probably taught me more than the good ones. Now why did I waste all this time putting those Russian dolls up!!?? Hugs, mek
I struggle with this too. But I think there does come a time when "enough is enough" and it's not giving up, it's taking control of your health and body. I would do the same thing you did. And I'm only 45 yrs. old with two young children. I have already decided the if the Tarceva doesn't work, I'm going into Hospice too. I love life and am young, but I also believe "when it's your time, it's your time." I'm so glad you are in Hospice and I hope you can more enjoy the time you have left. One friend told me people live a month or two longer with Hospice as well and it's better quality.
Hi again Mek- You are so brave and courageous to have made this decision. I believe that you have made a decision that shows such dignity such power in dying on your terms. I am sorry that I have never met you in person as I'm sure that my life would have been richer, far richer.
At this time I think that it is is good to have a lot of people with you doing all their various jobs, helping to care for you the way you want. One of my dearest most precious friends made this decision a short few months ago and has recently called in hospice, and all of us who adore and love her seem to have found our niche with her as she is leaving this life as we had when she was living her life. And it is such an honor. And some day I hope that I will be as brave and courageous as you in the decision tha tI make. God bless you!!
Love and hugs,
Meg, thanx for the vote of confidence. It was only January a diagonoses of Stage 3 extensive small cell lung cancer, a tumor focused in the left lung which collapsed many years ago. Old Pnuemonia scars, cloudy xrays, ct scans, (waiting for Pet Scan resuults). COPD, Asthma and Ephazima (spelling). As I am sitting here typing, breathing is difficult. A consant clear mucus is being spit up. This ventolin HFA inhaler is used too much. I want to go see my pulmonary doctor right now (appt 8 days away) and make him explain which is making me feel this way. and I am sure wrapping up 6 sessions of chemo 3 wks ago....... it's hard to breathe.

Fifth Amendment: Right Against Self-Incrimination (1791)
The government cannot force citizens to testify against themselves. By allowing people to refuse to answer questions that might make them seem guilty, the Fifth Amendment resolves the conflict between defending oneself and telling the truth. This protection has its roots in British legal tradition, as noted by Blackstone in Commentaries on the Laws of England. The Virginia Declaration of Rights also included protection from self-incrimination.
In the landmark Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona (1966), the Court held that the police must inform suspects of their Fifth Amendment right to refuse to answer questions or any subsequent confessions will be inadmissible at trial.

Hear the Latest on Soft Drink Taxes from the Rudd Center
We invite you to join Rudd Center Director, Kelly D. Brownell, PhD, and Roberta R. Friedman, ScM, Director of Public Policy and Government Initiatives, for a discussion on soft drink taxes and how they can address obesity. A webinar will be held on Tuesday, March 9, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EST.
In addition to updates on the latest developments in state and local policies since our July 2009 webinar, we will offer an overview of the rationale, relevant science, and economic and policy considerations of soft drink taxes.
The webinar will be listen-only, but participants will have the opportunity to type questions in real time.
There are two listen-in options: using voiceover IP (VoIP) through your computer (which incurs no additional cost and requires speakers or headphones on your computer — a microphone is not needed) or using your phone to dial into the webinar according to the confirmation E-mail instructions (which will incur a cost to you based on your regular long distance rate).
Registration is now available. After registering you will receive a confirmation E-mail containing information about joining the webinar.
Michelle Obama Joins the Fight Against Childhood Obesity
Childhood obesity has found a new opponent in Michelle Obama. The first lady announced the Let's Move campaign to change the food and physical activity behaviors of children that play a hand in obesity. Mrs. Obama spent a year consulting with experts in medicine, science, government, education, and the food industry to plan the initiative. With the goal of reversing the epidemic within one generation, the campaign has four areas of focus: helping parents make healthy family choices, serving healthier foods in schools, accessing healthy and affordable food, and increasing physical activity.
"This is absolutely historic," said Kelly D. Brownell, PhD, Rudd Center Director, who attended the campaign's launch. "It is the first time an administration has taken this level of action, it appears that government agencies will be working in coordinated ways, and the First Lady was emphatic in stating how important it is for the nation to mobilize."
American Beverage Association Announces Labeling Changes
The beverage industry has partnered with Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign to provide consumers with improved nutrition information on its products. By 2012 consumers will see calorie counts on the front of labels, vending machines, and fountain machines. The industry also pledges to reduce beverage calories, market low-calorie products, and investigate additional front-of-package labels.
"I salute the industry for making this change," said Rudd Center Director, Kelly D. Brownell, PhD. "Only with time will we know the impact this will have on consumers but providing more information in prominent locations is a positive move."
New York City Launches Campaign to Reduce Salt
New York City health officials aim to decrease salt in restaurant and packaged foods. The "National Salt Reduction Initiative" recommends that manufacturers voluntarily reduce salt per serving by 25% within the next five years. The timeline should allow consumers to adjust gradually to the change and companies to reformulate products without compromising taste.
The initiative is Mayor Bloomberg's latest effort to improve the health of New Yorkers. His administration also has banned trans fats, instituted menu labeling, and advised consumers about the drawbacks of soda consumption. The salt initiative could lead to modifications nationally because it would be difficult to reformulate products only supplied to New York City.
Salt is a major player in the morbidity and mortality of U.S. adults. If daily salt consumption was reduced by half a teaspoon per person, the number of heart attacks and deaths would significantly decline, according to a study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
"Once again New York City has taken the lead in an important health arena and has shown how constructive a role governments can play," said Kelly D. Brownell, PhD, Rudd Center Director.
Upcoming Seminar SpeakersFebruary 24 Unless otherwise noted, seminars are held at the Rudd Center, located at 309 Edwards Street in New Haven, Connecticut, 06511. The seminars are free and open to the public. Seating is limited. The full schedule for our Spring Seminar Series is available online and for download as a PDF document. You may sign up to receive weekly E-mail updates from the Rudd Center detailing upcoming seminars and schedule changes. |
Just Published by the Rudd Center
Responding to public outcry over objectionable marketing and nutrition practices, the food industry has pledged in recent years to voluntarily adopt self-regulatory practices to avoid government intervention. This course of action is being called into question by public health experts including Kelly D. Brownell, PhD, Rudd Center Director, in a paper published in the American Journal of Public Health. In "The Food Industry and Self-Regulation: Standards to Promote Success and to Avoid Public Health Failures," the authors call on the food industry to raise the bar on self-regulatory efforts by implementing new standards to earn public trust and achieve a positive public health impact, if such practices are to be considered viable alternatives to government involvement. Co-authors include Lisa L. Sharma, MBA, MPH, and Stephen P. Teret, JD, MPH.
U.S. Obesity Rates May Have Plateaued
An examination of obesity trends from 1999 to 2008 has revealed that rates among U.S. adults may have hit a plateau. In 2007-2008, the prevalence was 33.8% overall, 32.2% among men, and 35.5% among women, according to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The survey is a nationally representative sample of the U.S. population. The previous increases in the prevalence of obesity in the United States between 1976 and 2000 do not appear to have continued during the past ten years.
The authors noted that, although these data are encouraging, the rates remain high and "prevention and treatment of overweight and obesity on a populationwide basis are challenging." The authors recommend environmental interventions, such as improving access to healthy food in underserved areas, to achieve improved health and lead to "future decreases in the prevalence of obesity."
Rudd Center Spotlight: James E. Tierney, JD
James E. Tierney is Director of the National State Attorneys General Program and Lecturer-in-Law at Columbia Law School. Tierney is a graduate of the University of Maine School of Law and served as the Attorney General of Maine from 1980 to 1990.
Mr. Tierney was a Wasserstein Fellow at Harvard Law School and has guest lectured at many law schools about the office of state attorney general. He has served on the Boards of the American Judicature Society and Commentators of the Courtroom Television Network, where he regularly appeared as a guest. In 2006, Tierney was selected as the Public Interest Professor of the Year at Columbia Law School.
Mr. Tierney's distinguished career is marked by many significant accomplishments, including his role in the "Tobacco Wars." As a private lawyer and business consultant, Mr. Tierney was a key strategist for the attorneys general in a series of lawsuits against Big Tobacco that aimed to recoup the costs of treating smoking-related diseases through Medicaid. He is passionate about the application of law to public health, and through the Health Law Initiative — part of the National States Attorneys General Program — he provides resources for attorneys general, academics, and students as they consider the role of attorneys general in health advocacy.
The Rudd Center will host James E. Tierney on February 24 at 12:30 pm, where he will present Health Advocacy by State Attorneys General as part of the Spring 2010 Seminar Series.
Federal Panel Recommends Screening for Obesity in Children
Screening for obesity in children and adolescents should be standard practice, according to new recommendations issued by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. The report, published in the February issue of Pediatrics, advises doctors to screen children six and older for obesity and provide referrals for intensive weight-management programs.
According to the federal panel, an intensive weight-management program involves more than 25 hours of contact with the child during the first six months of treatment and includes dietary, physical activity, and behavioral counseling components.
This recommendation replaces the U.S. task force's 2005 position that insufficient evidence was available on effective weight-management interventions for children. New data allowed the panel to determine that these programs were indeed successful in helping children achieve a healthy weight. In a Pediatrics editorial, "Evidence for Effective Obesity Treatment: Pediatricians on the Right Track!," Dr. Sandra G. Hassink, an American Academy of Pediatrics Board of Directors member, discussed the importance of the new recommendations. "Obesity treatment can be effective and extend beyond the immediate intervention," she said, "…comprehensive treatment works."

Jack Barakat of All Time Low talks Ravens
September, 11, 2012
By Lynn Hoppes | ESPN.com
Jack BarakatMarc Shilling and Jack Barakat of All Time Low attend Monday's Ravens' game.
On Monday night, it was pretty easy for Jack Barakat of the pop-punk band All Time Low to watch his hometown team, the Baltimore Ravens.
He was right there with his buddy Marc Shilling.
That's better than when his four-member band, which was formed in 2003, is in Japan or Australia or Europe.
"When we're home, we're try to go to every game. When we're on the road, we try to watch every game," said Barakat, the band's lead guitarist. "Sometimes that can be difficult. In Japan, it was 2 a.m. and all of us were curled up in our hotel room trying to watch a game on one of the laptops."
That shows how big of fans the band's members really are.
Barakat said another time the band was performing at the House of Blues in New Orleans. The Ravens were playing on the TV screens in the back of the bar. While the band was on the stage, the members were screaming for plays they'd be watching on the screen.
"We were all raised here in Baltimore and a couple of us were born here," Barakat said. "Throw in the fact that a lot of our crew is from Baltimore and you can see how passionate we are."
So imagine when Barakat was looking for personal photos of his band wearing Ravens gear, he sent a request on Twitter.
More than 100 of his fans sent in personal photos of various poses, including a photo where half the band was nude and one member was wearing a Ravens jersey.
"Our fans can really relate to us and they connect through our lyrics," Barakat said of the band, which was formed in high school. "I think we're all really accessible. We do a lot of in-store signings and we're constantly going out after our shows to see our fans. We're like the people's band."
And the band, which had a song on "SportsCenter" recently, has returned to Hopeless Records and will release its fifth studio album "Don't Panic" in October.
"Our fan base is growing so fast. We're constantly traveling the world trying to play every city. We're just out there spreading the word," Barakat said. "And we're still there rooting for our Ravens. Maybe this is the year?"
Courtesy of Jack BarakatJack Barakat asked his fans to send in photos of him in Ravens' gear, and more than 100 responded.

BeneFit Cosmetics Get Even
Average Rating 3.6/5 |
Review by pinklikecandy
This can be too opaque and cakey when applied with a sponge, so I recommend using a densely bristled brush. The packaging is very nice and solid, although the puff is useless. The price is reasonable ($26 USD for 8.9g). The color selection is awful, only three shades. However I was able to find a decent match in #2 (I'm an MAC C3). Possible HG, definite repurchase.

ESI Releases The Latest Version Of Virtual Performance Solution
PARIS, Jan. 30, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ESI Group , pioneer and world-leading solution provider in Virtual Prototyping for manufacturing industries, announces the latest release of Virtual Performance Solution . Delivering faster results in crash simulation, the new version also offers new approaches for modeling product assembly, for assessing Noise, Vibration & Harshness (NVH), and for predicting airbag opening behavior more accurately. Virtual Performance Solution brings industrial clients a decisive competitive advantage, especially when facing the numerous challenges brought by lightweight engineering and the consequent need for numerous design iterations, trade-offs between performance domains, and less conservative safety margins.
Virtual Performance Solution provides automotive manufacturers with a viable solution to improve passenger safety without slowing down new car developments. As exemplified by the Vehicle Safety Simulation department at Audi, real prototypes can be drastically reduced or eliminated completely.
Using a common core model for their simulations, engineering teams from various departments and from different geographical sites can collaborate efficiently towards the creation of virtual prototypes that can be used to predict the future behavior of parts or products in all domains of performance.
By taking account of manufacturing effects and the coupling between different physics, even at very early stages of the design process, manufacturers significantly improve their process efficiency; decreases the number of real prototypes built and tested and, thereby reduce product development costs and time-to-market. Virtual Performance Solution has been developed to greatly facilitate and accelerate multi-domain optimization and to offer manufacturing companies in all industries the capacity to test and improve their future products. Depending on the industry, domains of application may include structural stiffness and strength, crash, occupant safety, NVH & interior acoustics, comfort, , durability, and high velocity impact. Thanks to a new execution scheme that supports Multi-Model Coupling, the new version of Virtual Performance Solution is simpler to set-up, offers easier task submission, and delivers significantly faster calculations. Distributed Memory Processing (DMP) has been complemented by an alternating job execution per model, reducing processing time by 20 to 30%. Virtual Performance Solution offers a new approach for modeling adhesive bonding by introducing special 3D connection elements. These enable a more precise modeling of assembled parts so engineers can more accurately predict behavior in all performance domains, including crash, NVH, stiffness and strength. The latest release includes an enhanced Finite Pointset Method (FPM) module including turbulence models for gas flow. The module enables increased precision in the simulation of even the most complex airbag systems, notably curtain airbags. Virtual Performance Solution also comes with improvements for NVH assessment. A new method to evaluate Random Response enables vehicle engineers to achieve a more consistent vehicle by providing more precise prediction of how different road loads and other conditions influence the performance of parts or products. Furthermore, a new scheme for non-linear transient implicit calculations is added to improve the accuracy of durability and strength predictions.

The only time I was able to fully charge a Manamune was as Skarner constantly mashing q wherever Iwent. I did hit 1000 around 3/4 of the way through the game, but there are not as many champs that have low cooldown, low mana cost, no target spell. Only Skarner, Karthus, Urgot, and Olaf tossing his ax around come to mind (not counting Kassadin because his ulti gets mana expensive to spam) I'm sure I missed a few though. Like it has been mentioned, lowering the max mana on an item that is supposed to give you mana weakens the item, but increasing the stack generation could make it even harder to face one of those spamming champs early game. I think we should either slightly lower the max mana but increase some of the stats on the items, or increase the stack generation but decrease the damage stats and keep the mana related stats the same.
Ryzol Ryzo Ryz R
I think the 750 cap is fine, but you should get more mana per spell use. Or it should work like RoA and passively charge itself. I dislike how it is necessary to spam spells out of combat to max tear.
As a brief side note to Dominus Arts: "One Tier List to Rule them All" is made by the guy who is arguably the Elementz of NA Dominion. Just saying :P.
Doesn't matter who wrote a popular tier list. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and there's nothing stopping others from making their own tier lists. Hell, with the last update the contents of my own tier list hardly concern me. 6-10 BFTs every single game. Next patch where?!
That's why I've been on the pbe
