The third and perhaps most important principle is Rat's insistence that women can outrock men because, as puts it, "they can withstand more pain than guys. They can rock all night, man, and it won't even faze them."
To assemble the Laundry Room Squelchers, Rat randomly recruited four women who were regular audience members during weekly Monday night shows at Churchill's. Those four (Lucrecia Diaz, Ivy Guillen, Mindy Hertzon, and Julie Miller) form the heart of the Squelchers, whose regular lineup has since been rounded out by Ari Schantz, the drummer of the now-disbanded Brothers of Different Mothers; Dan Hosker, who also plays guitar with the Holy Terrors; and Steven Toth, a.k.a. Mr. Entertainment, formerly of the One-Eyed Kings. And, of course, Rat Bastard.
"They just liked music, and they didn't know anything about noise music," Rat notes of his female recruits. "So I approached them in my normal drunkenness, and the girls, were like, 'Let's rock!'
"So here are these girls who have never touched an electric guitar, and I would put this guitar over 'em with this incredible tuning on it and full-volume feedback, as loud as it could go. When you have four girls on that stage playing and they're hearing the amp and the power, they've never experienced anything like that. And they're breaking strings and going and going, and I just sat up there and it was like, woof!"
Needless to say, Rat was pleased with the Squelchers' debut. "I'm hearing all these obscure tones and things, and it's all making sense to me. That's why the Squelchers are a cut above Scraping Teeth."
Ah, Scraping Teeth. If there had been an annual yearbook for the South Florida music scene while Teeth was a going concern, the abrasive combo would have been a lock for Band Most Likely to Clear a Room, because that's exactly what they did every time they played.
Aside from taking his detuning public, Rat admits a big part of Scraping Teeth's raison d Which provokes the question: Scraping Teeth was a joke, right? "No, it wasn't a joke," Rat replies. "Scraping Teeth was authentic. They [audiences] didn't understand the music. That was the whole point." Rat is equally serious with the Laundry Room Squelchers.
The unique Squelcher sound has been set down on tape only once, a work recorded live at Churchill's in 1994 that includes the numbers "Speed Queen" and "Do a Load by Hand" (Rat's unplanned-song principle wasn't compromised; sound segments were randomly named after the recording was finished). And don't look for the work at your local record store. As with many of his other projects, Rat made just 30 or so copies and sent them to like-minded music lovers and 'zine contacts around the country.
The Squelchers are hardly the main focus of Rat's attention and energies. He also plays bass in To Live and Shave in L.A., a three-piece that's gained favorable writeups in various 'zines; they recently completed an 8000-mile tour that took them as far as Vancouver. Then there's Esync, the label Rat founded in 1985, which has released 36 albums, seven-inch discs, and compilations covering such acts as Quit, Harry Pussy, Kreamy 'Lectric Santa, Drive Choir, and King Felix. As a producer and engineer, he's worked on recordings as diverse as the Holy Terrors' power-punk Lolitaville and Brian Franklin's largely acoustic Suburban Hallucinations.
Above all, Rat will tell you, music is his life; a full-time job at Delta Airlines allows him to pursue his passion. "I go out and see bands, mostly," he says. "Sometimes I might not like the music, but I certainly like to hang out with the musicians."
As Rat waxes somewhat rhapsodically about music, the gorgeously melodic flow of the Red House Painters' Ocean Beach CD wafts through his one-bedroom South Beach condominium, where 2000 vinyl records line one wall and more than 600 CDs take up a good chunk of another wall. Rat quiets down momentarily as the lush strains of the Red House Painters' somber "San Geronimo" fills the air. "Real melodic stuff. People are like, 'I thought you were into noise music.' I don't listen to noise music, though I have some great relations [with some of the bands], but there's only a couple. The rest are boring, like everything else."
The Squelchers, Rat asserts, are not a noise band. "I consider them a rock band," he declares. "Noise is just a copout. People say, 'That's noisy,' because they don't want to understand it, they just want to classify everything. It's rock, man."
"When it comes down to it, you sit in front of a Squelchers set, you're going to be extremely affected. [We] do the most nauseating, nastiest, stupidest shit, or we just lock into something amazing. But never mediocrity. Generally, it's like, 'You guys were amazing,' or 'That was the worst shit I ever heard in my life.' And I'll be, 'Yeah, you're right, it was terrible.' But at least I can go home and sleep. I know we made an attempt to do something amazing.

Started in 1971 as DU1AFS in Manila with a homebrew 120-watt CW and AM transmitter using a pair of 6L6GC finals to work 40M and 20M. Receiver was an Ecophone EC-1A with an outboard preselector then later changed to a Hallicrafters SX42. I enjoyed so much dx with this setup. I built another homebrew transmitter with a pair of 6KD6 sweep tubes for more PEP power. This inspired me to finish an Electrical Engineering degree from University of the Philippines. In the 80's I worked in the broadcast industry then moved to the vhf/uhf radio business making repeaters and setting them up for civilian and goverment agencies. In the 90's I moved into designing circuits for commercial electronics and cellular. After more than 40 yrs in Electronics, I like restoring and operating old radios. Homebrew all-mode HF transmitter with a pair of 6KD6 sweep tube finals (above) from 1974. I've been using a 1950's vintage Collins KWS-1 as my daily transmitter for almost 20yrs now. It likes to drift a few hundred hz over 2 or 3 hours. This was state of the art in 1956 but nowadays people get very concerned when they hear someone drift that much. Therefore I decided to upgrade its frequency stability to be at least equal to modern rigs. I designed a homebrew DDS frequency control board (above) for the KWS-1 using an AD9851 chip with OCXO reference. Also added an AFC stabilizer to the VFO tied to the same OCXO reference (below). The KWS-1 still works just like before and the modifications are completely transparent. The OCXO now makes the 1956 transmitter extremely stable at 0.1ppm. 952532 Last modified: 2014-05-24 16:37:38, 2006 bytes You must be logged in to file a report on this page

Sinkhole draws a crowd

WALLACE -- Hundreds, if not thousands, of people have been heading north out of this Wallace County community of just 53 residents, en route to a much-talked-about sinkhole.
That's the estimate from Wallace resident and Mayor Lyle Hammer, who has been asked for directions from a handful of the people heading to the new geologic wonder that sits back nearly 1.5 miles from the nearest road. He even saw a bus with Gove County tags heading north out of Wallace on Sunday, on its way to the sinkhole.
"There's lots of people," he said Monday. "I would say thousands now. Vans and SUVs and then the bus yesterday."
There's a pair of well-worn paths through the pasture leading to the sinkhole, which Wallace County Sheriff Larry Townsend said "at its widest is between 200 and 300 feet" across. "And it's every bit of 90 feet deep."
Townsend marvels at the attention that's come to focus on the sinkhole, about a half-mile from the closest home and nearly 9 miles from Wallace.
"It must be a slow news week," he joked.
But his office has been receiving an abundance of calls, including the New York Daily News and the New York bureau of ABC News.
His office also fielded calls from Canadian media as well, along with an irate call from an Oklahoma geologist who insisted the sheriff's office immediately close the site to the public.
That was already in the works, however, as owners of the land where the sinkhole occurred put up a pair of "no trespassing" signs at field entrances leading to the site.
Townsend said owners of the land aren't interested in talking about the site, and he plans to honor that sentiment.
Still, the sheer number of people heading to the site has been a concern for the landowners and Townsend.
Many, Townsend said, have been standing at the rim of the collapse, never mind the wave of cracks -- some inches wide and more than 4 feet deep, observers say -- radiating around the site as much as 50 yards from the edge.
There's also been a steady stream of people walking into the sinkhole, even though the soil sides have pulled away and could collapse at any time.
It's only a matter of time before the sinkhole expands, Townsend said.
Wallace County residents have been taking the sinkhole in stride, although many have gone to take a look. City of Wallace residents, however, have taken umbrage with reports of the sinkhole being north of Sharon Springs; it's actually north of Wallace.
The sinkhole's the talk of the town at Stephen's Restaurant in Sharon Springs, where Townsend took in the special of the day Monday, a welcome diversion from the ongoing drought that has all but decimated dryland crops and forced ranchers to sell nearly 75 percent of the cattle in the county.
But Wallace County, Townsend said, is used to sinkholes.
There are as many as three others in the pasture where the latest formed, and two others on a statewide inventory.
One, the Smoky Basin Cave-in east of Sharon Springs, developed in 1926. It's not known when Old Maid's Pool northwest of Sharon Springs formed, although it's just recently gone dry, the first time anyone can remember.
Nearby rancher Von Chisum said it's been there as long as he's been around.
Chisum said he's 90 years old and just learned it had gone dry.
"I'd never seen it dry," he said.
"It's dry now," Hammer said. "It hasn't been dry in years.
Hammer normally keeps cattle in the pasture watered by the sinkhole but pulled them off after it went dry.
"This is what they turn into after quite a few years," Townsend said, pointing to the Old Maid's Pool.

I was behind the mirror for a few consumer focus groups Gartner held recently. We asked consumers in six cities about how they use technology, attitudes about consumer electronics, and what influences their purchase decisions the most. The focus groups highlight how differently consumers think about mobile, video and social media than marketing directors, product managers and industry analysts. Focus groups are fantastic for us to step away from the tech-centric world to hear what matters to end users. It's exciting to hear insights about consumer usage trends straight from the end users themselves.
For example, in cities where smartphones usage among focus group participants was high, consumers commented that smartphones have changed the way they watch TV and reduced the time they spend using their PCs. Smartphones are the connected device that is most convenient to carry around, even around the house. Participants multi-tasked on their smartphones while "watching" TV, by doing on-line social networking or browsing the internet. Because smartphones are at hand, participants cited various ways that they use them when they have a few extra minutes or at the moment they think of an online task they should do. They don't have to wait to get home to check a bank account or watch videos. Key consumer trends are to use mobile devices more and PCs less and to multi-task across multiple screens.
Marketing organizations use the data from consumer surveys and focus groups to guide their messaging, for product development, and to request budget. The quotes, sound bites and video clips from focus groups help build a convincing case when communicating consumer attitudes to executives across the enterprise. Gartner will have published 20 reports this year about consumer attitudes from our primary research. Topics span how to influence late adopters, preferences for customer service, and what devices consumers want to carry with them. I have links to a couple of my reports below:
Findings: Press '0' to Speak with a Live Agent
Survey Analysis: San Jose Focus Group Reveals Divergent Paths to Technology Purchases
Access to these reports depends on your Gartner subscription.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Outstanding delivery and presentation
Seasonal Snowflake Save the Date Postcards I would have liked to personalize the design a little more (different fonts, remove dots, etc.) but I had a time crunch and paid extra to receive it in 3-5 days. I got it in like 2 days (it shipped in 2 days, the design took a few more). It had a standard package and then a cute box on the inside, closed by magnet. Then the save-the-date postcards were bound by adorable velcro bands and wrapped in tissue paper. It was so tastefully done and everything came in excellent timing and condition.
Really nice postcard!
Count Down Save the Date Postcards Loved being able to personailze it and work with a designer to make sure it came out perfect!
Whimsical, clean design.
Sterling and Silver Save the Date Postcards Clean, simple design. Some of the other postcards I tried w/ multiple photos looked too much like Xmas cards. Quality of paper/weight was surprisingly thick. Print looks just like the online proof. Prompt turnaround. Surprised how large the postcard actually is. Hoping a $.29 stamp works, but because they are larger than average postcard, may require a regular $.44 stamp.
Southern/Vintage Feel
Southern Grace Save the Date Postcards We were looking for a southern/vintage feel and not a magnet... this postcard fit perfectly! We did change the colors and some of the wording. The colors weren't exactly as they looked like they'd be on the computer, but the colors still turned out great! The only negatives are that because the postcards are 5x7, which is bigger than regular postcard size, first class postage is required. And the paper is great quality, nice and heavy, but because it has a "glossy" finish almost all ink will smear. I had to use permanent marker/pen to address the postcards so that I wouldn't smear the name/address. Overall great product, I would definitely order again and recommend.

5 Ingredients: Berry Trifle with Amaretto
by Dana Angelo White in 5-Ingredient Recipes, June 28, 2010This week on Healthy Eats, we're celebrating summer berries — strawberries, blueberries and raspberries are all at their juicy, delicious peak! This fresh, light trifle is a showstopper at parties and picnics, and our version has a reasonable amount of fat and calories. It's as simple as 5 ingredients — read on to see how it's made.
Berry Trifle with Amaretto
Serves: 8
1/2 cup heavy cream (yields 1 cup whipped cream)
2 cups low-fat vanilla pudding
2 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur
8-ounces store-bought angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 cups berries
Equipment: large glass serving bowl or trifle dish
Heavy Cream (Whipped Cream)
Layers upon layers of whipped cream will pile on the calories and fat. Since one tablespoon of whipped cream has about 25 calories and 2.5 grams of fat, you need to use it sparingly. The trick is to top the trifle with one layer, so every bite has a hint of that creamy goodness. We keep the cream unsweetened to save a few extra calories – you don't need any additional sweetness with the rest of the ingredients.
Angel Food Cake
Another way to keep the calories under control is to use fluffy angel food cake. You can certainly make your own, but take some help from the store here and buy one. This cake is made with egg whites, so it's light, airy and fat free.
Vanilla Pudding
To replace some of the high-fat whipped cream, we used low fat pudding (made with one-percent milk). We recommend making your own (it's easier than you think) but you can certainly use pre-made or instant – just choose a brand without artificial sweeteners.
Amaretto Liqueur
To liven up the vanilla pudding, add a splash of almond liqueur. The almond flavor goes so well with the sweet-tart berries. If you don't want to use alcohol, substitute with a teaspoon of pure almond or vanilla extract.
The stars of this trifle are the fresh berries. We used strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, but you can substitute whatever you've got on hand.
Whip cream using a whisk or mixer until stiff peaks form– set aside. Add Amaretto to pudding and mix well to combine. Place half of the angel food cake in the bottom of a trifle dish in one even layer. Top with half of the pudding, followed by half of the berries. Repeat with remaining cake, pudding and berries. Top with a thin layer of whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes before serving.

weird… we just made something similar this weekend with angel food, sugar free pudding, whipped cream, and strawberries. So yum.
this looks great but how do i cut the salt < salt free diet > ?
You can buy low sugar whipped cream and use less Amaretto – both have a lot of sugar.
Buy Real Whipping Cream in a carton, whip it yourself without adding sugar. Pure almond extract ads no sugar and lots of flavor. Also, Angel Food cake is super easy to make from scratch, low fat too!
How about lo-cal or no cal whipped cream? I am going to try it with sugar free pudding and/no cal whipped topping..mmmm-Happy Berries to you!
Hi Annie,
I completely understand trying to cut down the fat and sugar. However, all those options that you mentioned are loaded with harmful additives that are very dangerous for the health. There's no such thing as low cal whipped cream unless you strip down the real thing and replace it with something completely processed. The same goes with the pudding. Keep it real and natural, control your portions and your body will thank you for it ten times over!! Good luck and take care..
Giuliana D. Naturopathic Doctor
i make mine with yellow cake mix, cheese cake pudding 2 regular size boxes, fruit of choice & cool whip
topping. in a 12×9 glass casserole dish, starting with bite size pieces of cake, one cake mix will make
2. freeze 1/2 of cake for another time or dowble on pudding & cool whip for 2. add layer of pudding
then fruit & top with cool whip.
(bake cake in a 12×9 pan cut in 1/2 for 1 dessert) -
Help! May I use fresh or "Fake" egg whites in place of dried?
its all good except the low fat pudding, you only live once fat it up. I mean the one who have to worry about the fat just need to stop with one plate of dinner instead of seconds.If you eat in moderation you wont have to worry about low whip and pudding
Thank you joe, you can eat good things without always geting fat free and low cal just eat normal size not 2,3 or 4 servings of the good stuff. Make it great and enjoy it don't over stuff yourself
Your lite version has 38 carbs, more than I, as a diabetic, am allowed in an entire meal.
I want to save this recipe, but can't!!!

Can we be honest for a second? Dragonlance sucks. Okay, I admit I loved that shiz in junior high; I had pneumonia for a month at the end of 6th grade and read the first trilogy and thought they were the best thing EVER. Then I read them again at the end of high school and wondered what was wrong with me back in the 6th grade.
As a game, the setting, plot, and characters are all the worst. It's a land of zero moral ambiguity (even though the dominant moral compass seems hopelessly out of whack), the damn thing is one big railroad, and the good guys are horrendous Mary Sues.
Still, I think we can work with this.
Instead of a Nice Guy Place where everyone has flowing hippie hair, what if we spun this as Dirtbag Krynn, a land where trailerpark denizens do battle against other inbred jerkwads over the fate of a meth-faced planet?
As long as we're being honest, we can admit that Tanis is lame as hell. His love-triangle plot is lame, his mixed-heritage outsider plot is lame, and he looks like he belongs in Fleetwood Mac. What if Tanis were more like this Red-Headed Stranger?:
How much cooler would Tanis be if he was a weed-smokin' country outlaw? So much cooler. I'm pretty sure Shotgun Willie would have no qualms about bedding both Laurana and Kitiara; hell, he'd probably maneuver them into a three-way.
It's a truth universally acknowledged that kender suck and if someone wants to play one in your game you should punch them in the nose.
Kender are kleptomaniacs and annoyingly cutesy-poo. In keeping with the aesthetics of Dirtbag Dragonlance, they become a new race: Meth Heads. Think about it, they'd still steal shit and act all jittery-spazzy.
Dragons are, of course, a big part of Dragonlance. But in Dirtbag Krynn "dragon" is just what they call one of these:
Yeah, they come in different colors and shoot all sorts of killing-you-loudly stuff out the front. Done deal.
Dragonlances? Another nickname. For hyper-powered shotguns:

All of the files that go through its secure portal are view protected. In addition, the said service also helps protect your files from any screen-capture and screen recording software.
[2]Digify is a cross-platform service. Therefore, you can use it on various platforms such as iOS, Android, Mac and Windows. Just keep in mind that in order to send and receive files, both the sender and receiver must have the Digify client installed.
If you want to use Digify on Windows, all you need to do is to download its Windows version (still in Beta). Once downloaded, simply install the desktop app to your system. Upon launch, the desktop app will open a separate secure viewing environment. This means that you cannot access any other program unless you opt to exit Digify.
If you are using Digify for the very first time, you will be prompted to register and activate your account. You also need to set up a strong password. Your password must be made up of at least 1 uppercase letter, 1 lowercase letter and 1 number. It should also be made up of at least 8 characters.
[3]Once verified, you may log in to your secure Digify dashboard. Do take note that the said service will prevent you from taking screenshots of your dashboard. The same goes for the files that you've sent and received through its secure portal.
As you can notice, the dashboard features four main options. If you click "Share", you will be able to share files from your computer. You can also link your Dropbox account so you can directly share your files from the cloud. Just keep in mind that as of its current version, the file sharing service only supports MS Office documents, TXT, PDFs and Image files.
After choosing the file, you will be able to set your desired self-destruct time. The shortest is 1 minute while the longest is 1 month. You can also opt to send your file to multiple email recipients at once.
On the other hand, you can simply go to the "Receive" section to view all of your received files. The file's self-destruct time will only start as soon as you start viewing the file. In addition, you can go to the "Statistics" section to monitor the files that you've sent. This is also where you can opt to "unshare" your files before they self-destruct.
All in all, Digify proves to be a solid option for individuals and professionals who seek to share their data-sensitive files (ex. medical records, personnel files, bank details, etc.) over the Internet in a secure and view protected file sharing environment. It may have some minor drawbacks, such as its limited support for different file formats, but it's definitely safer than simply sharing your files via email or Skype.
Digify is definitely a must for users who are often involve with tasks that requires the exchange of confidential or data-sensitive files. It also supports various platforms so it makes it easier for you to securely transfer files from one device to another. So go ahead and give it a try.

Regarding the hex number I know hex numbering, I was only copy and paste from thierryRc post was too lazy to write the numbers myself.Anyway you are the master of "Gobbledygook" jargon and ..........you know that.I didn't find other word and this one sound cool. About languages I know also 4 and I want to add more. Secondly ,that is not all the code.It is only a sample and I know there is room for improvement in fact this advice is valid for everybody. Don't worry. I' ll finish the code soon, I'm almost there,at least for the binding part.Avr assembler is not so complicated and I learned(almost 70%) it in less than one week,it was the less difficult part .It was a little more difficult the understand A7105 data sheet(still learning) and now to understand the flysky protocol. About new thread,this is an RC forum so is not the right place to start with.Secondly even on the right thread ,they advise the same as you at the beginning,and that kind of advice I don't need atm. However, don't worry I'll never ask you anything here or there ,about avr assembly,In fact I don't need it atm,I have very good resources for that and where to look for.Sorry for ask you about that ,it was a mistake,I was too lazy at that time to look for myself. If you want to have a bet with me ,if I finish my code in avr assembler and tested working.........?? |

calm down. i do want to thank you for all the questions youve allowed me to answer last couple years. its been a privilege. anyway atm my opinion is based on that code you just posted. maybe i underestimate you. maybe not. seriously: you are obviously smarter than me learning in one week what took me two years. and i only know one language. no bet on flysky ppm code (i cant wait til retirement to collect. lol!). but i would like to see your avr asm blink and hello world. not copied but original versions. and functional stand alone...not snippets. you must know they are both critical debugging tools for your current project so must already be done.

I'd suggest learning a real programming language, like C. It's a basic requirement for any serious programmer. |

i did get a kick out of your advice that homemade copper soldering tips are better than even the $1 ebay iron clad. and the guy you told to regulate his high current app with a voltage divider. i think that pretty much says it all. and regarding avr c for jobs like a7105 rx/tx ill bet you cant even do a blink program. probably cant even get the tools up. and if you do manage it will be at least an order of magnitude bigger than an asm version. source AND bin. |

swapf id0 then andlw 0xF0 = swap low/high nibble of id0 so bit0..3 became bit4..7 and vice-versa and then only keep bit4..7 = (id0 & 0x0F)*16 That works with the first 16 sequences. I check with oscilloscope (gio pin) that receiver gets all tx packets (looks like a square wave, period =1.46ms or 685Hz) and it is just fine. Dave when you say that you have tested home made RX with different TX, you mean you have tested the RX I have done ? (I remember you said that you ordered some pics and a pckit3 prog/debuger). If the answer is yes then there may be two reasons to have troubles: 1 - I just implemented the first 16 hopping sequences so if tx id0 > 16, it does not bind. 2 - I have allready done and tested 3 RX (1x 6ch old version, and 2x 7ch version) and the last one was sometimes missing packets ! the trouble was that 1.5ms time-out (see pic code) between 2 successive packets is two close to 1.46ms ! I think cheap TX or/and pic internal oscillator is/are not so accurate. So I changed time-out to 2ms and now it works fine... I could send you a rx if you are ready to do tests. Would be cheaper for me than buying hundreds of tx btw I ended TX code and tested it connected to the module connector (ppm out) of an optic6 tx. To do so you need a resistor in series and a 3v zener diode in parallel to ch1 in order to limit ppm voltage input (I fried my 6ch prototype because I thought that with just a 10k resistor in series pic could't not latch-up but it does! so don't forget zener diode) So yesterday I played with quadcopter after midnight (I was happy but my wife was not so happy...) It was more pleasant than with original TX... I have to do range tests... Let me clean pic code and I'll do updates soon |

Just curious.Well I don't need to reduce it.On my core er9x Tx I have around 2.9 Volts so this is not a problem.

i was going to ask you to sell me one and willing to reimbure you. i have just been hired to design and build a batch that have both 8ch servo and 4ch motor/actuator capability. i plan to make some extra for myself so can send you one of those. in any case ill pm my address and am very curious how it behaves with some of the "problem" ids. |

i do know the old 90sxxxx avrs would latch and cook if you powered down and up again with 12v inputs even with 2k series resistor. so atmel fixed that long ago and im surprised to hear microchip hasnt. guess i should stop making fun of the guys who build those complicated level shifters and protection circuits. |

I'm surprised you still haven't realized you're wrong about the iron tips. Maybe it's easier for you to waste money on crappier iron tips, but not everybody is so lazy. Copper conducts heat much better and tins better. FYI, that's the main job of a soldering iron tip. There's plenty of other advantages to them also. Being too lazy to use a better tip, too lazy to shape your tip with a couple swipes of a file, and too lazy to save money for your operation... just isn't a good excuse for many people. In any case, sorry to everyone for taking this thread off topic. |

You don't need to read it here to know that parenting is a balancing act. Between long school days, homework, extra curricular activities, and family time, there's not much wiggle room left. And that's for the kid without siblings, who doesn't have to sit and wait for a brother's or sister's transitions among the activities above.
So how do you know when your child's schedule is too packed or too empty? We all want to think that our kids are getting enough extracurricular challenge and stimulation while also having enough downtime to "just be a kid." Below is an informal review of appropriate expectations for kids in different developmental ranges, bearing in mind that every child develops differently and age is just a number.
Toddlers exist in a fairly small world. Any one of their senses is as acute a learning device as another, which will come as no surprise to all those parents who have observed their children look at, feel, listen to, smell, and taste the floor. As they're behaving like sponges, immersive experiences are the watchword for children aged birth to 3. Exploration is key, and particularly sensitive are language and music acquisition, which are less materially available for independent exploration, hence the proliferation of early childhood musical immersion programs. A good amount of quiet time is called for to emotionally and intellectually process the vast quantity of new experiences, not to mention the massive hormonal changes babies and toddlers endure. If you're foregoing naps to maximize structured stimulation, you're probably overdoing it.
Preschoolers need a good amount of digestive time where they can play freely and sort out their thoughts and feelings. The emergence of pretend play reveals a newly developing ability to direct and process their own learning. Like toddlers, preschoolers long to explore their environment indefatigably, now socially as well as sensually. As much as intellectual stimulation, preschoolers need opportunities to exercise their burgeoning social abilities, be it in playdates, playgroups, or preschools. Significant amounts of thoughtful quiet time, and simply having naps, will help the preschooler keep a grasp on the rapid-fire intellectual steps he is taking. Whether or not you have taken advantage of toddler programming, with a preschooler you may want to respond to areas of personal interest with supplemental experiences. Special offerings he loves get your preschooler into unprecedented realms of language acquisition and usage, and also get his feet wet for later experiences across a variety of formal settings.
Early Elementary
Early elementary-age children are often coping with what is for them a significant transition into fulltime school years. Depending on your child's disposition and the nature of her primary program, it can feel like a lot or barely enough. Personality and energy level are major indicators of whether this is a time to take advantage of the closing moments of the early childhood learning sensitivities or to take it slow. Remember that your child's early elementary program is designed holistically to meet her entire raft of needs, though no more so than at other ages, and extra stimulation need not be packed in if your child really just needs some time to cogitate everything she's already got going on. This cogitation time might be quiet play with toys, or just relaxed doodling alone in her bedroom.
Later Elementary
Later elementary-age kids tend to be like their younger counterparts, but with far more stamina. They want to gather information and then get into action to apply it themselves. "Together" takes on a new meaning as well, where the older elementary child may want to take a class in an interest she shares with a friend. More than during any other timeframe, the older elementary child is in survey mode and has the energy to handle it. If there is an age of low risk for taking on too much, it is the later elementary years. Give things a try – you may be amazed by how much your child can handle.
Pre-teens are drawn to peers with a forceful magnetism that cannot be resisted without significant drama. Who hasn't heard the rejoinder from a middle-schooler: "But Johnny gets to do it!" During the pre-teen years our kids are mucking around with major questions of identity, but also entering a gauntlet of demanding physical change. They may be eager to continue the dabbling of the late elementary years, but commitment to something that won't pan out as the right choice is anathema to them. An interesting dynamic has developed in this phase where institutions, by no means accidentally, offer try-outs. Though challenging feelings may come up, these tests of identification and measurement are useful to the pre-teen, who wants to learn from the try-out results just who he or she is. Worth noting is that our pre-teens may need more rest than they did in the upper elementary years. They've got a lot of change and growing with which to cope. Be sure to support them in their exploratory trials, but the only push they should need from you is to get to bed on time.
Teens enter a phase of specification they have been distilling through the social gravitational forces of their pre-teen years. This may not be exclusively the case for teens with diverse interests, but with their developing organizational skills and heightening ability to act independently many teenagers have the opportunity to go into unprecedented depth in a given subject area. A great benefit of this phase is that the commitments one makes are a microcosm for life as a whole. Sometimes extraordinary skill sets and self-discipline can be developed, while the field itself may be set aside in a low-stakes manner at the transition out of high school (witness the successful wrestler or musical performer who surprises us when they put that pursuit aside after they set off for college).
In sum, if there's never a lick of time for anything new or spontaneous in the life of your child, it may benefit him or her to ensure there's some flexibility present. Structuring unstructured time requires truly purposeful parenting.
On the other hand, the perennial draw of television down to the lowest common denominator has to be considered, and if your instincts tell you that your child could meet with more challenge or a new form of stimulation, you're probably right. You won't be surprised to read it here: find the balance.

I've tried meth just 3 times last year in october since then I had no period until now february.
Before i tried meth my period is fine. somehow I didn't feel unusual to my body its just that I don't have a period since then. please help me I need some info about this.
Thanks for response Susan,
I tried to read about it but I don't have these called symptoms of PCOS and Fibroids.
I've open this topic to my mom and she said that she experienced this thing before that she is 4-6 months without period but not pregnant. is it possible that its in our genes? .
February 17, 2014 - 4:22pmHi again Anon
Yes, it's possible that there is a genetic component to this. Even though you don't have the classic symptoms of any reproductive disorders, things like PCOS and cysts, fibroids etc can be passed down. It's a good idea to see a doctor.
February 18, 2014 - 10:54amHi Anon!
Meth taken like this should not affect your menstrual cycle. There must have been another reason why you didn't get your period for four months. If you remain this irregular, you may want to see if you have some kind of reproduction condition like PCOS or fibroids or something like this. You may also have a hormonal balance.

Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center

Lincoln, Nebraska 68588-0188
During 1997, collections of larval amphibians were made at 130 sites in Nebraska. Collections were made during 1 June - 16 July, so as to replicate earlier samples taken by John D. Lynch in 1971-75. The same sites that Lynch surveyed were sampled in the recent survey, unless they were no longer present or accessible, in which case a replacement site within 1.6 km was sought. The overall objective of the study is to test the hypothesis that amphibian populations have declined in Nebraska. Results reported here indicate the species found in each county where collections were made.
This study was supported in part by the Grasslands Ecosystem Initiative, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center, U.S. Geological Survey-Biological Resources Division, Jamestown, North Dakota.

It's official! Ryan Seacrest confirmed to Jay Leno on Jan. 10 that the E! series he executive produces will follow Kim's pregnancy, starting when she's a little more than four months along! Will YOU tune in?
The Kardashians have left nothing off the table when it comes to their personal lives and what they show on their hit series Keeping Up With the Kardashians, so it's no surprise that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will allow the reality cameras to document every step of Kim's pregnancy for the new season!
Ryan Seacrest visited Jay Leno on the Tonight Show on Jan. 10, and revealed that Kim's pregnancy will for sure be featured on the show — and that it will be shown on the latest season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which is set to film when Kim is four-and-a-half months along!
Ryan Seacrest Confirms Pregnancy News On 'Tonight Show'
"I was thrilled as a friend of theirs, I was very happy," Ryan told Jay about the good news of Kim's pregnancy.
Although Ryan joked to Jay that he will not be in the delivery room with a zoom lens shooting every second, the reality show will document Kim and Kanye's baby-to-be.
"You will see her pregnancy on Keeping Up With the Kardashians because she will be I think about four-and-a-half months in when we start shooting for next season," Ryan revealed.
Kris Jenner Excited For Kim's Pregnancy To Be On 'KUWTK'
As HollywoodLife.com exclusively reported, Kris Jenner is incredibly excited to have Kim's pregnancy on their TV show — especially because it will mean a major payout.
"Probably the most excited person is Kris," an insider told HollywoodLife.com exclusively. "They are going to document everything about Kim's pregnancy, but I don't know how Kanye feels about that."

I saw Ryan on Leno and he pretty much said that the PREGNANCY will be documented on the show, which I don't think is a surprise to anyone, it is a reality show,she i the star of course you will see her pregnant, but when asked about the delivery he pretty much shut that down, so yes the pregnancy will be shown but from his reaction I don't think that the birth will be shown. I don't know why anyone would be shocked at the pregnancy being documented though, that is what they do so it makes no sense to expect anything different. As far as the Kris Jenner part that HL had to drop in I call bullsh*t on that. They just couldn't stic to the facts!!!! shame.
Posted at 9:49 AM on January 11, 2013
Oh & the last part is BS. Everybody is fine with it even Kanye. They have made all the decisions TOGETHER. Kris has no say & Kim does not get paid extra for being pregnant. The contracts are already set in stone. Your stories are incredibly stupid not to mention BLATANTLY wrong

Mission Statement
The mission of the Pasadena Museum of California Art (PMCA) is to present the breadth of California art and design through exhibitions that explore the cultural dynamics and influences that are unique to California.
About The PMCA
The Pasadena Museum of California Art (PMCA) is dedicated to the exhibition of California art, architecture, and design from 1850 to the present. Informed by the state's rich mixture of cultures and inspired by its impressive geography, California art has long been defined by a spirit of freedom and experimentation. PMCA exhibitions and educational programs explore the cultural dynamics and influences unique to California that have shaped and defined art in all media.
"At the PMCA, we believe that the quality and excitement of the work that has been and continues to be produced in California is deserving of its own venue," said Wesley Jessup, former Executive Director of the museum. "It is a rare opportunity and privilege to contribute to the planning and launch of a new museum that will set out to explore and clarify the contributions of California artists, architects, and designers in a national and international context," said Jessup.
Museum founders Robert (Bob) and Arlene Oltman are long-time Pasadena residents and art collectors. Oltman is a general partner of Space Bank Mini Storage, a company he co-founded 25 years ago. The impetus to build a museum devoted to California art grew in recent years as the Oltmans' collecting activities began to focus on artists from California. "We realized that there was not a museum in Southern California that was committed 100 percent to California art," said Bob Oltman. "The pioneering role of historic California artists, the vibrant contemporary art scene, and in recent years, the growing public interest in California art in general, led us to pursue this project."
In 1999 the Oltmans commissioned the Los Angeles architectural firm MDA Johnson Favaro Architecture and Urban Design to create the museum. Ground was broken for the building in December 2000, and the museum became open to the public in June of 2002. "With the Oltmans, we had the freedom to make a statement with a public institution that we anticipate will become a cultural centerpiece in the redevelopment of the historic Playhouse District," said Steve Johnson, the museum project manager and principal partner. PMCA, located just north of Colorado Boulevard at 490 East Union Street in Pasadena, is a 30,000 SF three-story, mixed-use facility.

The mammalian Y chromosome acts as a dominant male determinant as a result of the action of a single gene, Sry, whose role in sex determination is to initiate testis rather than ovary development from early bipotential gonads. It does so by triggering the differentiation of Sertoli cells from supporting cell precursors, which would otherwise give follicle cells. The related autosomal gene Sox9 is also known from loss-of-function mutations in mice and humans to be essential for Sertoli cell differentiation; moreover, its abnormal expression in an XX gonad can lead to male development in the absence of Sry. These genetic data, together with the finding that Sox9 is upregulated in Sertoli cell precursors just after SRY expression begins, has led to the proposal that Sox9 could be directly regulated by SRY. However, the mechanism by which SRY action might affect Sox9 expression was not understood. Here we show that SRY binds to multiple elements within a Sox9 gonad-specific enhancer in mice, and that it does so along with steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1, encoded by the gene Nr5a1 (Sf1)), an orphan nuclear receptor. Mutation, co-transfection and sex-reversal studies all point to a feedforward, self-reinforcing pathway in which SF1 and SRY cooperatively upregulate Sox9 and then, together with SF1, SOX9 also binds to the enhancer to help maintain its own expression after that of SRY has ceased. Our results open up the field, permitting further characterization of the molecular mechanisms regulating sex determination and how they have evolved, as well as how they fail in cases of sex reversal.

Extremely clean & excellent breakfast selections in the morning with hot beverages always available as well as some items in the lounge area.
Would prefer they at least have a small refrigerator in each room specially when we had a 2 queen bedroom. I asked about them & they are only available in the swepts.
We stayed there after the tornado happened at Cherrystone Campground. We were pleased to see that a collection for those campers was in progress. Staff very helpful. Would stay there again.
Staff was very nice.and.helpful..changed my room to.the quiet side of the building.
Carpet stained and worn..breakfast was below.average. only waffles hard boiled eggs and mini muffins or other breads no eggs or meat. First room was surrounded by loud party people next to fast food restaurant
Terrible room
Hotel was undergoing construction and was not well contained. Biggest complaint is the paper thin walls between rooms and the ability to hear every footstep in the room above and every conversation in the hall
Near destination
AC / heating unit broken, breakfast poor
Despite being in the middle of a change of ownership to Quality Inn and Suites, everything went well again.The updated business equipment is a great improvement. Breakfast was good, with many options.
I would like to see mini fridges and microwaves in each room.
it was a place to stay over for a night. shower/bath had nice hot hot water, better than some of higher price motels.
dated, needs upgraded
Great location. Driving from PA to OBX.
Overpriced! Then add an extre $15 a night for a pet?!? Not worth the cost!

Running AC tips homeowner off to burglary; five teens arrested for 'chilling' theft
POSTED: Friday, June 28, 2013 - 12:30pm
UPDATED: Friday, June 28, 2013 - 3:04pm
THIBODAUX, LA (NBC33) — Five juveniles are behind bars after they allegedly broke into a home several times while the victim was away on vacation.
"The homeowner first noticed something was wrong when he came home and his air conditioner was on," David Melancon, Thibodaux Police Department, said. "He distinctly remembered turning it off before he left. So apparently, the teens were 'chilling' in the home."
Once the home owner realized something was wrong, he started to notice several missing items.
"Detectives learned that the juveniles burglarized the home several times, because they knew the home owner was out of town; returning each time to take different items, one of which was a high powered rifle," Melancon added. "The investigation is still ongoing, but most of the items taken have been recovered and returned to the owner."
Recently, NBC33 News spoke to Crime Stoppers about the increase of juvenile related crimes during the summer. Most of the crimes they commit are related to burglary or theft. Often they are what police call "crimes of opportunity," which is what this case would be considered.
"During the summer a lot of people go out of town for long periods of time on vacation," Cpt. Stone said. "Secure your valuables before you go out of town."
Decreasing the number of opportunities to become a victim of a simple crime is the best deterrent. More importantly, catching an individual who has committed a crime is the best way to keep the entire community safe. For that reason, Cpt. Stone wants to make sure everyone takes advantage of the Crime Stoppers system.
"We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week," he said. "You can call or text us with any information you may have."
You can call in a tip to Crime Stoppers at (225) 344-STOP (7867). You can also text your tip to CRIMES (274637). Include CS225 at the beginning of your message.

Is it right to waste helium on party balloons?
The US has been selling off its helium reserve, established in the 1920s to provide gas for airships - but even so, shortages have been occurring.
Some scientists believe a finite resource that could one day run out should not be used for party balloons.
In the universe as a whole, it is one of the commonest elements, second only to hydrogen in its abundance. On Earth it is relatively rare, and one of the few elements that escapes gravity and leaks away into space.
"All of the other elements we've scattered around the globe, maybe we can go digging in garbage dumps to get them back," says chemist Andrea Sella, of University College London (UCL).
"But helium is unique. When it's gone it is lost to us forever."
Helium has the lowest boiling point of any element, at -269C, just a few degrees above absolute zero (-273C).
Helium - key facts
- An inert gas, does not react with other substances
- Symbol: He
- Atomic number: 2
- Atomic weight: 4.002
- Used for cooling super-conducting magnets in MRI scanners, making computer chips, in deep-sea diving...
- Most helium found on earth is a result of decay of radioactive elements
- Biggest concentrations found in natural gas fields
- Boiling point is -269C, lower than any other element
This makes it of key importance for superconducting magnets used in MRI scanners, which must be supercooled to generate the hugely powerful magnetic fields required.
"We're going to be looking back and thinking, I can't believe people just used to fill up their balloons with it, when it's so precious and unique," says Cambridge University chemist Peter Wothers, who has called for an end to helium-filled party balloons.
"It is something we need to think about."
That would mean an end to the old party favourite of breathing in helium from a balloon, and then talking in squeaky voices - a result of helium's fast-moving atoms. But maybe this would be no bad thing, as it can cause dizziness, headaches and even death.
The gas, which is formed by the decay of radioactive rocks in the earth's crust, accumulates in natural gas deposits and is collected as a by-product of the gas industry.
The United States is currently the world's biggest supplier, with the bulk of it stored near Amarillo, Texas, in the national helium reserve - which alone accounts for 35% of the world's current supply.
This was set up in 1925 as a strategic store for supplying gas to US airships, while after World War Two it provided coolant for missiles and rockets for the military and Nasa.
But since the mid-1990s, with growing civilian demand for helium in the manufacture of semiconductors and for MRI scanners, among other things, the US has been clawing back the cost of storing the gas by gradually selling it off on the open market.
Despite this, the price of helium has doubled over the past 10 years.
Scare stories about this or that resource running out are a commonplace of doomsayers - but this autumn, the world got a taste of what a helium shortage could mean.
US semiconductor manufacturers knew that under the terms of a 1996 law, the US helium reserve was legally obliged to turn off the tap last month.
Elementary Business
In Elementary Business, BBC World Service's Business Daily goes back to basics and examines key chemical elements - and asks what they mean for businesses and the global economy.
Long in advance, alarm bells started ringing. Shortfalls in supply had anyway become routine.
"For most of the past year, we have only been receiving about 80% of the helium for which we have contracted," says Rodney Morgan of US chipmaker Micron Technology.
Such was the sense of urgency from the IT industry and others, that the legislation to avert this crisis was among a handful of bills passed in haste by the US Congress on the eve of the recent US government shutdown.
Yet while a "helium cliff" may have been averted, it is going to take time for other countries to be able to step into the market to supply the gas. The era of cheap helium is over for now.
Perhaps this is a good thing - after all, if a resource is finite then we should value it.
And as for those pesky helium balloons?
"I suspect the amount that is used in party balloons is quite small compared to the other main uses of it," says Dr Wothers.
"But it's just a rather trivial use of something we should be valuing a little bit more."
You can listen to Business Daily on BBC World Service at 08:32 GMT and 15:06 GMT.
Correction: An earlier version of this story mistakenly said that helium was the only element that escapes from Earth into space. It also referred to helium molecules, when it should have referred to helium atoms.

Samantha B.HairBlondeCurly HairNever AgainI have natural golden blonde hair, so I didn't bleach my hair because there was no need for it. I wanted to put some purple streaks in my hair. Well, after a week they faded to hot pink. It's been almost 3 weeks now and the color won't come out. I've tried dying over it and bleaching it. Neither works. I'll never use SPLAT again. It's the worst hair color I've ever used.posted Apr 23, 2012Link to this post
Megan M.IndianaNot HappyI have natural blonde hair, so I didn't use the bleach. Heck, I didn't need to! I did as directed for the colored part. I saturated my hair, put it under a shower cap, and also put on my heated cap on the highest setting. I left it on for half an hour and rinsed until the water ran clear, then shampooed. My hair dried and, while my scalp was bright purple, my hair was the exact same color I started with. This stuff is junk. I even tried it again.posted Apr 15, 2012Link to this post
SarahHairMedium BrownFine or Thin HairHalf Dyed HairI was using this product in an attempt to get a real nice dark red for comiccon later in the year. Dyed up my hair last night, and the red just got everywhere, after it dried anything it touched turned pink! It ruined my clothes and blankets, and stained my keyboard after running my fingers through my hair and not noticing the dye on my hands. My hands are now an odd pink in places from touching my hair. I used the washable product that was supposed to come out with shampoo, and it did, however only HALF of it did. The bottom part of my hair is an awful faded pink, and the top is the natural brown. I washed it 15 times now, and it isn't fading. I don't know how long it will last, but I couldn't be more disappointed.posted Apr 1, 2012Link to this post
JessieCanadaHairBlondeFine or Thin HairI'm Going Back To Manic PanicI have dyed my hair blues and reds and purples for years and used manic panic and fudge colours among others, but hadn't dyed my hair in about 6 months due to travelling. When I spotted a Splat multi colour kit in my favourite colours, I thought "Awesome! No more buying 4 kits to do my hair."
Prior to using this kit, my hair was undyed, unbleached, untreated dark natural blonde. The only products used on it were the colours in the kit and the instructions were followed to the letter.
The first thing I noticed; if your hair is longer than a short bob, get two packs. The bleach included in the kit was fantastic with comparitively little breakage or jelly-hair, but there just wasn't enough of it for my fine, slightly longer than shoulder-length hair.
After applying the colours, I'm considering demanding my money back. The "Kelly's Blue" stuck the best, turning various shades between dark blue on my scalp and pastel blue to washed out green on my hair. The purple only stuck to my skin, absolutely none of it stayed in my hair. At all. I have very visible dark purple patches on my scalp though, under the bright white hair it was supposed to be purple. Where the red stuck, it's a pastel pink, and that's not in very many places at all. Somehow, there are also orange patches that weren't there before applying the colours, and I have no idea where they came from.
I'm utterly disgusted with the product's performance, and the "extreme - shocking - expressive" and "extreme intense shocking colour" promised on the pack appear to be a complete lie. On top of this, for the first time in my life (I have been colouring my hair these kinds of colours for 15 years) I had a slight allergic reaction to the product.
If you see this product on the shelf, the only advice I can give in good conscience is to stay well away.posted Mar 5, 2012Link to this post -
Steffani K.United StatesHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairBlue Envy.....yeah OkayI used Splat Blue Envy on the underneath part of my hair (that i previously dyed light blonde) & left it on the time given, washed it out & MY HAIR WAS UGLY PALE GREEN. I cannot get it out & will not ruin my hair by trying to strip it, nor do i think it will work. My advice to you; just dont.posted Feb 26, 2012Link to this post
ShakiraUnited StatesI Love This Product! 3yrs Of Use.Personally this product has worked extremely well for me. I noticed a review concerning the Aqua Rush color and the thing is, you SHOULDN'T wash your hair the day after you color it, if you do, expect the color to be faded. After I dye my hair I usually don't wash it for about 3 days and so the color lasts longer.
I've been using this product for 3 years and I've always been happy with the results. The colors are vibrant and when cared for properly, they last long. Don't expect the exact color on the box though (they looked photo-shopped, correct), I find that the colors are slightly more vibrant than what the box shows. So far I've used Blue Envy, Lusty Lavender, and Aqua Rush. Recently I used a Manic Panic product which came out TERRIBLE compared to Splat and so I had to use Lusty Lavender in an attempt to cover up the mistakes of one of Manic Panic's purples and the Splat product did extremely well covering up a lot of the color and giving me a two toned effect :)
Tip: If you're like me, a person who dyes their whole head, and your color is fading but you want it to last longer, Splat does suggest you take a quarter of the hair color you used and a quarter of shampoo and wash your hair with it. I haven't tried that yet but it's worth a shot :)posted Feb 25, 2012Link to this post -
VenessaHairDark BrownNormal HairEspressive Yet Classy!-The entire Splat line is amazing! This color is true to Shade!
-The kit contains Protective gloves so Ladies make sure your use them!
-Personally my favorite is Pink Fetish, but the Lusty Lavender does the job.
-Just make sure your bleach your hair to a full level 9-10 before you apply the color & also verify your hair is CLEAN & DRY when you process the bleach & the dye.
-Small tip to increase longevity of color: Process the color for a full hr covered with a shower cap (plastic bag works fine) and blow dry for the first 5-10 min.
This helps creat heat thats normally produced by your scalp.
Good luck with this amazing color!

JaimeHairDark BrownCurly HairPink!!!I followed the instructions to the letter, it was suppose to be a beautiful red it came out pink! I didnt really care that it was pink, I've been pink before, though i had used colour rays(I highly recommend colour rays i just couldn't find the brand anywhere)
what makes me mad is I bleached my curly hair that I don't dye often for a hair-dye that turned orange after one wash a week after it had been put in. I'm mad that i wasted 20 dollars on a product that lasted one week. It was suppose to last at least 3 months the dye didn't even pay for itself. I could have bought 2 manic panics for that price and it would've lasted longer and I wouldn't of needed to bleach my hair.
I wont be using this product again and I wont recommend it to anyone. I wish I had checked for the reviews of this product I probably would've ordered colour rays off of the internet at least I would've gotten a colour that would last roughly a year before turning orange, I also find it annoying that there is no review area on their website.posted Feb 19, 2012Link to this post -
KathleenNew YorkHairMedium BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairDisappointingI followed the directions to the letter, and it came out amazing- for a day. I had one day of a beautiful bright blue (I used the Aqua one) and the next day I washed my hair and out came almost all of the dye. Now it's almost all the way back to blonde (I had already bleached the area I colored) and it's disappointing. It is easy to use, smells nice, and left my dyed hair feeling just like my natural hair. All of that stuff was great, but it faded too quickly. It's a good way to go if you're not sure you really want your hair to be a different color.posted Feb 18, 2012Link to this post
LedaHairBlondeNormal HairThick or Coarse HairThe Pink Worked Really Well, But The Blue Not As MuchI dyed my hair with Splat twice, the first time with pink, and the second with blue. The pink dye came in really well, and it stuck to my hair. It didn't start to fade until 2 weeks after I dyed it. I tried to bleach the pink out, and my head ended up looking like a peach (Though, bleaching pink might not be a good idea in the first place, so that was probably my own fault.) Then I tried the blue. It looked pretty decent after I dried it, but about 10 minutes later when it was completely dry, my hair was grey. So I had to go around with grey hair for 2 weeks. :/ Over-all, it's not the best, but it works if you want temporary color. The only thing about the kit that could be better, is decent gloves (I got these little flat peices of plastic like gloves? I just used my own gloves, and threw the gloves from the kit in the trash.) and nozels for the bottles (There was one for the bleach, but not the dye in either kit I got.)posted Feb 5, 2012Link to this post

Issues And Answers In Diagnosing Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis
Keys To The Microbiologic Analysis
Microbiologic bone culture for the diagnosis of diabetic foot osteomyelitis presents a unique set of challenges in terms of its reliability as a standard diagnostic procedure. The majority of diabetic foot wounds result from contiguous extension and therefore any sample runs the risk of contamination by contiguous soft tissues. Several studies have demonstrated that culture results from bone vary considerably from culture results of the tissue immediately surrounding bone.7-9 Additionally, culture results may misrepresent the number and type of infecting organisms within a sample. Whenever possible, one should utilize a transcutaneous biopsy through unaffected skin or only obtain specimens with a sterile instrument following complete debridement and irrigation.
Another important consideration regarding the microbiologic analysis of a bone biopsy specimen is the variable time frames in which patients are off antibiotics prior to specimen collection. This could obviously have an effect on the culture and sensitivity analysis. There is no formal recommendation for how long a patient should be cleared from antibiotics for a valid sample and this is often unrealistic for a patient fighting acute diabetic foot disease.
What The Literature Reveals About Histopathologic Analysis
The histopathologic analysis also faces challenges with reliability and standardization. Our pathologist colleagues do not have a consistent classification for what they are looking at under that microscope. Through the limited clinical studies that have attempted to define bone samples affected by osteomyelitis, it is obvious that analysis is very subjective from a pathologist's point of view.
Highlighting this subjective component is a study from our hospital that attempted to quantify the reliability of the histopathologic analysis of bone with respect to the diagnosis of diabetic foot osteomyelitis.16 The study design consisted of four pathologists, blinded to previous reports, who attempted to place a bone specimen into one of three diagnostic categories: "no evidence of osteomyelitis;" "no definitive findings of osteomyelitis but cannot be ruled out;" or as "findings consistent with osteomyelitis."
Surprisingly, the results showed the pathologists to be in complete agreement with respect to the diagnosis in only 33 percent of the cases.16 Researchers also found that 41 percent of the time, one pathologist diagnosed a sample as no evidence of osteomyelitis while at least one other pathologist diagnosed that same sample as consistent with osteomyelitis. These results indicate that the use of histopathologic analysis for the diagnosis of diabetic foot osteomyelitis falls short of the "gold standard."
Further complicating matters is a 2011 study by Weiner and colleagues who examined cases in which clinicians attempted both histology and microbiology for diagnosis.17 They found that in 34 percent of cases, the microbiologic assessment was positive while the histopathologic assessment was negative or vice versa. In other words, the microbiologic and histopathologic analyses demonstrated much less than perfect agreement with each other.
A Closer Look At Consensus Findings For The Diagnosis Of Osteomyelitis
There is no doubt that the accurate diagnosis of osteomyelitis is necessary to ensure appropriate treatment and achieve successful patient outcomes. Recently, the International Working Group of the Diabetic Foot released a consensus statement and outlined a comprehensive diagnostic protocol for the diagnosis of osteomyelitis.2 In the creation of this protocol, the authors outlined different categories of confidence based on clinical, laboratory and imaging analyses.
