Intimate conversations on contemporary arts and issues. |
One of the most unusual transitions of city government in Detroit's history is underway. Mayor-elect Mike Duggan is assembling a transition team and honing the priorities for his administration. But nearly every move he makes must be approved by Governor Snyder and Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr. WDET's Quinn Klinefelter was at the news conference announcing the transition.

Formula Windsurfing World Championship set for Viganj
Thu, 28 Feb 2013
The 2013 'ESET NOD32 Antivirus' Formula Windsurfing World Championship is set to take place at Club Bofor, Viganj, Croatia from the eighth to 13th July and will be sponsored by NORT d.o.o. The venue is well-known to many racers, having hosted previous editions of the Croatian Open Championships. This year's event is also a stop on the 2013 European Cup Tour.
Viganj is a small tourist place on the peninsula of Peljesac, 6km from Orebic and about fifteen minutes by boat from Korcula. It is ideal place for swimming and all kind of water sports; and especially good for windsurfing -'Viganj is a good spot with 20 knots of seabreeze every day. In July works like a watch!'
Peljesac is a great Peninsula in the south of Croatia. Nearly at the very end of this peninsula, on the see-coast of Adriatic see, is situated a village Viganj. Everybody who has good knowledge of the Adriatic coast can confirm that this part of Croatia belongs between the most wonderful places. Peljesac peninsula is about 80 Km long, with mostly rocky coast, romantic bays and high mountains. The highest mountain of Peljesac is Sv. Ilja with altitude 961 m. Below this mountain and on the coast is the Orebic - not very large historical town.
'If we continue from Orebic in our journey, we reach after approximately 6Km our village in Viganj - a place with its own specific friendly atmosphere, place where the people are going back for their whole life.'

I have an absolutely amazing, completely wonderful broker who has helped me every step of the way. As a matter of fact, he will be helping me sail my boat from Annapolis to New York in a few weeks. He carries a Blackberry, always returns calls and is amazingly knowledgeable about boats from Beneteau's to Oysters. He had a lot of stressful jobs in life and now he's "retired" to being a broker. I should have paid him a whole lot more than he made off the sale of our Passport to us... He works nationally. Tell him Chris Labatt sent you. Contact info:

text: Five games to watch at E3By John Gaudiosi, Special to CNNUpdated 0102 GMT (0802 HKT) June 2, 2012"Call of Duty: Black Ops II," due in November, spans a cinematic storyline that propels the action into 2025.Story highlightsA slow year for video games will pick up at E3 next weekBucking the trend, "Resident Evil 6" actually had release date moved upMaster Chief will be back in "Halo IV""Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" will move the action into the futureThe video game industry has had a slow start to the year, but that's about to change. As the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) takes over the Los Angeles Convention Center this week, the biggest games of this year and next will be showcased in front of 45,000 attendees. With a big slate of blockbusters scheduled to hit retail shelves this holiday, things are looking up for gaming.The game industry is growing rapidly through new business models like free-to-play games, mobile games and cloud-based gaming. But it still relies on big-name titles to fill its coffers and entice gamers to spend an inordinate amount of time on multiplayer experiences online. Like Hollywood, game publishers are counting on bestselling franchises and sequels to attract the growing demographic of people who play games. There are a lot of games at E3, but these five titles will stand out. Collectively they should provide hours of new interactive entertainment to gamers around the world once they're released over the coming year."Resident Evil 6" (Capcom, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, October 2, 2012)In a rarity in the game industry, where delays are commonplace, Capcom actually moved up the release date for this much-anticipated horror sequel.The "6" in the title holds a deeper meaning, as this "Resident Evil" offers three distinct, yet interconnected, two-player cooperative gameplay experiences. Set 10 years after the events that ravaged Raccoon City, these globe-trotting survival horror stories feature six unique characters that gamers control to contend with the new C-Virus plague. "Resident Evil 6"The zombies in this game are smarter, faster and even wield weapons, upping the ante and requiring that second player's sharpshooting help. The development team is going for a more Hollywood feel with this blend of action and terror.Gamers will actually get a double-dose of this franchise with Sony Pictures releasing "Resident Evil: Retribution 3D" in theaters September 14."Halo 4" (Microsoft, 343 Industries, Xbox 360, November 6, 2012)"Halo" developer Bungie has moved on to an original franchise for Activision, leaving Microsoft to turn to new developer 343 Industries for the first in the Reclaimer Trilogy of Halo games. Set four years after the events of "Halo 3," Master Chief returns with a new setting (the planet Requiem) but the same beloved first-person shooter action that has sold over 40 million games around the globe. "Halo 4"The new game will further explore the man beneath the mask, John-117, while pushing multiplayer forward. Gamers can create their own Spartan IV warrior for multiplayer and engage in a four-player cinematic adventure in the new Spartan Ops or jump into massive competitive arenas with War Games. All multiplayer will be linked through the UNSC Infinity starship to keep players immersed in this rich sci-fi universe."Call of Duty: Black Ops II" (Activision, Treyarch, PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, November 13, 2012)With the "Call of Duty" franchise breaking entertainment launch records every year and raking in over $1 billion per release, developer Treyarch is catapulting the first-person shooter action into the future. "Call of Duty: Black Ops II" spans a cinematic storyline that propels the action into 2025, although some backstory gameplay will focus on the 1980s. With American cities like Los Angeles under attack from flying drones and robots, players must contend with terrorist Raul Menendez, who's turned America's own military technology against itself. Treyarch is introducing more open-world gameplay to the mix and promises a more robust multiplayer experience (with all those new drones and robots), as well as an expanded Zombies mode with more undead enemies to contend with."Crysis 3" (Electronic Arts, Crytek, PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, 2013)Crytek returns to a future Big Apple, circa 2047, in this first-person shooter, although New York has never looked quite like this. Players will explore a massive Nanodome called the New York City Liberty Dome, which offers a diverse range of environments known as the Seven Wonders. Taking control of the Nanosuit-armed Prophet, skyscrapers have been replaced by an urban rainforest teeming with overgrown trees, dense swamplands and raging rivers. It's within this landscape that players will hunt Ceph aliens and Cell Corporation henchmen using a composite bow (armed with the latest technology) and an assortment of high-powered weapons from Earth and beyond. "Crysis 3."Crytek is blending the best of both worlds from its first two bestsellers and offering gamers more options in both the campaign and multiplayer experiences this time around."Dead Space 3" (Electronic Arts, Visceral Games, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, 2013)In space, no one can hear you scream. With Ridley Scott terrifying a new generation of audiences with "Prometheus," Electronic Arts' Visceral Games is bringing more alien horror to gamers. In "Dead Space 3," Isaac Clarke crash lands on a snowswept planet that just happens to be overrun with alien Necromorphs. After contending with these assorted alien monstrosities in the past, Clarke has new weapons and technology to help him perform the strategic dismemberment that has become the cornerstone of the franchise. The subzero planet adds a twist to the gameplay with more open, and hostile, environments to explore and even bigger creatures to content with."Dead Space 3."Fans of the franchise will also see a return of the more close-quarters, don't-be-afraid-of-the-dark areas, as well as those signature zero-gravity sequences. "Dead Space 3" is slated to scare gamers in the dead of winter early next year.More from techLaser procedure can turn brown eyes blueThe balloons that could fly tourists to the edge of spaceWill.i.am launches sustainable fashionPowered by Livefyre

A Guide To Lower Extremity Cutaneous Manifestations In Patients With HIV Infections
While non-infectious cutaneous abnormalities are not prognostic of the rapid progression of immunosuppression, they may be specific markers of the stage of HIV disease. Cutaneous abnormalities like seborrheic dermatitis or xerosis may worsen as HIV infection progresses or they may present suddenly, intensely and severely to a point of lethality.
It must be noted that with improvements in antiretroviral treatment of HIV, as demonstrated with good viral control and preservation of the immune system, skin problems associated with opportunistic infections and many other skin problems associated with HIV have become far less common, less severe and are easier to treat.
Podiatric physicians must also remember that cutaneous manifestation of HIV disease may be less responsive to the usual treatment modalities.
What The Literature Reveals About Tinea, Onychomycosis And HIV
Lower extremity cutaneous manifestations of HIV disease include tinea, warts, scabies, Reiter's syndrome, Kaposi's sarcoma and allergic contact dermatitis.
Tinea infection of the feet and toenails is common in people with HIV infection. However, it is not a specific marker of HIV infection because it is also common among people without HIV infection. Researchers have reported that the prevalence of onychomycosis in patients with HIV infection ranges between 15-40 percent.11,12
Tinea of the nail primarily involves the nail plate. Nails become opaque and thickened, and may split or crumble. Proximal subungual onychomycosis is usually a sign of HIV disease.13 Common with tinea involvement of the toenails is an associated tinea infection of the soles or toe webs manifested by chronic maceration, scaling, blistering, and or thickening of the skin. The use of topical imidazole cream twice a day can facilitate improvement of tinea infection of the soles of the feet.
Tinea unguium associated with AIDS is clinically more aggressive and therapeutically more difficult to treat than in the general population.14 Tinea unguium in patients with HIV is common, chronic and usually does not require therapy unless the infection causes discomfort.
If the podiatric physician elects to employ oral therapy to treat the toenail infestation/infection, it may be prudent to investigate all the possible theoretical and probable drug-drug interactions that may result from combining antifungal agents and antiretroviral agents. Barber and colleagues present a discussion of onychomycosis treatment in special populations including those infected with HIV.15 Despite a lack of abundant data, these authors state the literature that does exist demonstrates that one can use oral terbinafine, oral itraconazole and ciclopirox 8% nail lacquer safely and effectively in special populations. They do caution clinicians to assess each presentation on a case-by-case basis.
Researchers investigated the use of terbinafine in a series of 21 HIV-positive patients who were diagnosed with tinea unguium for one year in Madrid.14 All patients underwent a subsequent clinical follow-up for six months. The results showed a high percentage of clinical and mycological cures, as well as maintenance of the response after follow-up. The study authors noted no drug interactions or significant adverse effects related to the drug.
Warts And HIV: What You Should Know
Verrucae vulgaris are common, benign, painless growths that are caused by the papillomavirus. When warts occur in individuals with HIV infection, they tend to be bigger, more numerous and widespread. These warts may be resistant to standard treatments and recurrence after treatment is common. De Socio and colleagues describe a 42-year-old man with AIDS and Hodgkin's lymphoma who presented with severe, recalcitrant cutaneous warts, which resolved following treatment with local 1% cidofovir.16
When Scabies Occurs In People With HIV
If scabies occurs in people with HIV infection, it will usually present with the typical pattern of pruritic papules with accentuation in the intertriginous areas, genitalia and finger webs. The infestation may exaggerate and become more widespread and refactory to treatment with advance immunosuppression.

incessant throat clearing
Ok, I feel guilty even posting this, but I am desperate for help. My elderly father with senile dementia clears his throat every 10 seconds for an hour after each meal. It's not a gentle "ahem," it's a feral, growling, mucous-y noise that makes my skin crawl. I am sorry, but it is disgusting, and it is making me CRAZY.
I have tried numerous things to help it -- prilosec, nasal decongestants, antihistamines, no dairy, no OJ, lots of nice hot tea -- to no avail. He had a barium swallowing study done at the hospital, normal results. He had a speech therapist evaluate his swallow, weak but not abnormal for being 90.
I am at my wit's end.
Thank you for listening.
Are the windows open a lot & marigolds planted outside? My mom had an awful time every time she sat down to eat, this was years ago, finally dad closed the window right beside where she was eating & it helped but didn't go away, also door to garage few feet away & 3 kids in the house, going in & out. Dad had ragweed allergy & found out they are in same family, pulled them all out & there were a lot but it ended mom's problems of choking & coughing every time she sat down to eat. After that the window was always open some. So it can be strange things, do you bring flowers in, especially mums are bad too. Is he a smoker? at his age that would be pretty normal, body doesn't handle smoke well, do you smoke or anyone else smoking near him, could be eating & smoke at same time is too much for his system. I'm terribly allergic to smoke but took so long to figure it out! It reacts different with different people. New clothes that haven't been washed, new cabinet in kitchen made of particle board? Another thing is has he had a stroke? They sometimes "store" food in cheek as difficult to swallow it, my dad did that for awhile after his stroke, I would have him spit it out in napkin. Amazing how much he stored as too hard to swallow, no matter what the test said, he may not want to swallow or fear swallowing so ask to see inside of his mouth if he won't spit in a napkin. Maybe just habit but at his age & condition hard to tell. Ask if he feels like he is breathing OK. Heart trouble sometimes causes people to have a cough but not usually noises like that I don't think. You may need earplugs or cotton stuffed in ears(earplugs made my ears itch) mom made noises during the night & it drove me crazy sometimes too. Good Luck.
I have this going on and I'm not elderly nor senile. :) Is your dad on bp meds? Lisinopril and similar causes a cough, but in my case it involved almost constant clearing of the throat. For some reason, doctors don't tell their patients about this side-effect and many people go through a long and arduous search for an answer--makes me mad. I'm on another one now, but dairy, sugar and toothpaste(!) can get it going, as well as not having drunk enough water.
sunny's comment about marigolds made me remember that I was having a similar problem, but only when I ate in the kitchen. After some investigation I found out that the cleaning lady was using a particular oil on the table - and everything else. I would lay my arm (s) on the table, get it on my skin and have a severe allergy attack. I asked her not to use that oil anymore and that solved the problem. I guess my point is to look for something off-the-wall that he may be reacting to.
Also, is he eating too much at one sitting? I've read that people with dementia can't always judge when they're hungry or full.
This must be so annoying for you and your dad- you have my sympathies. How long ago was his swallow test? Since he clears his throat constantly after eating it seems that he does not feel that his airway is clear. Has the speech therapist given advice on how to help your father swallow his food- such as tucking his chin a bit when he swallows? Can you check his mouth after he eats to see if there is any food left in there. Also- I have noticed that string beans seem to cause some problems with the elderly when they eat them. They tend to get "stuck" back in the throat.
Your comment, ''every 10 seconds for an hour after each meal,'' is key.
Have you seen an ENT doc? If so, suggest get a second opinion and possibly tests repeated. Saw a patient last week referred for second opinion, the test results he was given were not his, there was a transcription error.
Psychogenic/habit cough is another possibility. However, cannot overemphasize - get a second opinion!
Here is a link that might be useful: Cough study
Might be simple dehydration.
I have to watch that. If I can't clear my throat I'm dehydrated. Gotta drink water. sometimes lots of it and it takes time for it to absorb in. Often happens in the evening after dinner. Hate to drink water on top of dinner but there's no other way.
When I was a kid doctors put me thru the tortures of the damned. Couldn't figure it out. Too simple. I figured it out when I was about 43.
Thanks everyone for your helpful comments and support. What a nice group of people on this forum!
He is on Lisinopril, but has been for over 7 years and the throat clearing started about a year ago. His doctor says this side effect presents at the outset, not after so many years.
The swallow study and speech evaluation were within the past year. He has all of his teeth, no difficulty chewing food, and enjoys every meal. He is not keeping food in his mouth. He is very "present," just cannot form any new memories.
We live in the south and our windows are sealed tight with the air conditioning on. I do think that allergies are a likely culprit because his nose is always running. But we tried a 6 month course of a prescription nasal spray and it didn't help.
A physical therapist who attended to him suggested it was just habit.
The dehydration hypothesis is new to me, and I will follow up on that. He does tend to limit his fluids because he doesn't want to take so many trips to the bathroom. But the weird thing is, he starts clearing his throat when he drinks anything.
Getting old is certainly not for sissies. Again, I appreciate your kind suggestions. Thank you.
I have found that drinking cold water ( like out of the refer) seems to generate my hacking. Room temp water (like out of the tap) does not. I have no explanation for that.
Related info: When I drove truck in the summer here in N. Cal it is HOT. On the FWY it is even HOTTER. I took a thermometer in the cab one time - when it hit 117úF I tossed it out. To keep my throat from feeling like it needed clearing and to keep my nose or sinuses from plugging I took 4 swallows of water every 1/2 hour. Without that the plugging and hacking occurred.
We all carried 1-2 gallons of water in summer.
I am in my early 40's and have had this problem also although not as severe as your fathers seems to be. My throat is extremely "tickley" after I eat and I cough and clear my throat often. I keep a supply of cough drops handy and pop one if I start to get that feeling. It helps quite a bit. I can very well see where it could also be habit as the therapist suggested. At any rate a cough drop may keep his throat feeling clearer or just keep his mouth busy enough to not be constantly clearing if it is only habit.

Well I got really curious since sinus clogging and throat clearing have been a life long problem for me - solved at age 43 - simple dehydration. Since I have solved my problem I've merely kept up with it but for quite some years I have wondered just how the dehydration caused my symptoms. So!
Tonite I Googled >Dehydration and SinusDehydration and Dry CoughIt would seem there are many causes and dehydration is one. I did not persue this at length - just enough to see that my observations (of myself) were valid. Here is just one site of interest.
The Effects Of Dehydration : Your Health Journal
And here are 3 statements I copied which confirm my observations:
Avoid cold water or ice water because that just shocks the body and you just end up going to the bathroom with very little being absorbed
Without enough fluid in the body, the mucus will thicken, making it difficult for the cilia to move it through the sinuses.
I advise patients to drink plenty of water, as dehydration can make the mucus more tenacious and difficult to clear; (from the throat).
This, of course, doesn't mean that I consider my suggestion to be the true solution; just that it was/is a valid consideration among many.
Here is a link that might be useful: The Effects Of Dehydration : Your Health Journal
There was an excellent article written recently about water. ( I think it was in an AARP publication.). Let's see if I can remember most of the recommendations:
* 2 glasses of warm water right after getting up.... helps get the internal body up and running;
* a glass of water 1/2 hour before meals;
* a glass of water before going to bed;
There are 2 more, but it can't remember them. I imagine they were to do with keeping hydrated the rest of the time.
I remember my grandparents always drinking a glass of water right away each morning. I guess that much that's new is really old.
Going pee at night is good since the kidneys are clearing out the water that accumulated in the lower half of our body during the day... at least for those of us over 50.
Doctors have always told us to drink lots of fluids when we have a cold to keep the mucus thin.
I'll just offer this up since it happened to me and it would be hard to make the connection BUT Splenda gives me HORRIBLE sinus drainage and makes me have to clear my throat probably for an hour or so after I consume it. I have, of course, stopped using Splenda! Sulfates in your food will also cause this sinus drainage.
dd (32 years old) has cleared her throat all the time for years, we thought it was asthma as she does suffer from that
about a year and a half ago, she came down with bronchitis, laryngitis, sore throat and missed her first days teaching in 9 years
went to the dr 3 times in 2 weeks doctor finally told her to get on zyrtec every single day and it would clear up, not to stop the zyrtec when she started getting better-which took several days
she's still taking the zyrtec and no throat clearing and no asthma attacks
after suffering from allergies, asthma, and the continual throat clearing for almost 20 years, she's finally ok.......

Georgia Republican Party interested in West
U.S. Rep. Allen West — the Tea Party favorite who appeared to be headed for defeat after Democrat Patrick Murphy was projected to win the 18th Congressional District race — is being encouraged by a top state Republican Party official to run for Congress in Georgia.
"If he decides to run we could certainly use him in lots of areas," Sue Everhart, the chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, told FLDemocracy and WPTV NewsChannel 5. "I would take him in a minute and we'd start finding a place at the table."
Everhart, who met West — an Atlanta native — at the Georgia Republican Party President's Day Dinner in 2011, said he was one of the finest congressman she had ever met and would welcome him with open arms.
"He represents what a congressman ought to be. He's done a good job and I just have a problem sometimes with why people can't see that this man went out and served him and represented him well," she said.
"He doesn't only talk the talk. He walks the walk. And has. Or he would have never been elected. If he decided to run for Congress here — as long as it wasn't against one of our great Republican congressmen — I would certainly get out and help him."
Earlier this year, West filed forms with the Federal Election Commission to form a joint fundraising committee with U.S. Rep. Paul Broun.
The paperwork allowed the Georgia-based committee to collect funds on West's behalf.
Michele Hickford, a spokeswoman for Allen West for Congress, said any talk of a run in Georgia was premature.
"This election has not been decided," Hickford told FLDemocracy and WPTV NewsChannel 5. "Right now, Allen West is focused on ensuring every vote is counted accurately and fairly in Florida's 18th Congressional District. (The interest) demonstrates the broad support Allen West has generated across the country because he stands on principle and is not like the other politicians in Washington."

Ex-Liberia Leader Taylor Sentenced 50 Years for War Crime
May 30 (Bloomberg) -- Former Liberian President Charles Taylor was sentenced to 50 years in prison for supporting rebels who committed atrocities in neighboring Sierra Leone during an 11-year civil war.
"The accused is being found responsible for aiding and abetting as well as planning of some of the most heinous and brutal crimes recorded in human history," Presiding Judge Richard Lussick said at the Special Court for Sierra Leone in Leidschendam, near The Hague. Prosecutors requested he be imprisoned for 80 years.
Taylor, 64, is the first former head of state to be convicted by an international court for war crimes since the Nuremberg trials after World War II. He was charged with 11 counts, including terrorizing civilians, murder, rape and kidnapping children to use as soldiers, according to the tribunal, which was set up by the West African nation and the United Nations in 2002.
"Mr. Taylor was functioning in his own country at the highest level of leadership which puts him in a class of its own when compared to the principal perpetrators who have been convicted by this court," Lussick said. The court has now convicted nine people.
Sierra Leone's civil war left 50,000 people dead and displaced 2 million before the government and rebels agreed to a cease-fire in 2000. The Revolutionary United Front guerrillas, backed by Taylor, gained notoriety for amputating the limbs of their victims.
Blood Diamonds
The court, which on April 26 found Taylor guilty, said the former president provided the rebels with arms and ammunition in exchange for so-called blood diamonds, regularly found by slave laborers.
Taylor led a group of rebels who invaded Liberia from neighboring Ivory Coast in 1989, starting a civil war that lasted until 1996. He won an election in 1997, becoming president until he resigned in 2003. Taylor then went into exile in Nigeria as pressure mounted following his indictment and he was arrested in 2006.
Taylor pleaded not guilty and he may appeal the verdict. The time he has served in The Hague since 2006 will be deducted from the sentence. The longest sentence handed out by the court was 52 years for Revolutionary United Front leader Issa Sesay.

The tornado first entered the extreme southwestern corner of Dawson County, then traveled north approximately 12 miles before moving into Custer County. The first tornado report in Dawson County occurred about 5 miles southwest of Gothenburg just north of Wiggens Canyon near county road 409 and approximately 1/2 mile south of county road 763. The tornado was rated on the enhanced Fujita (EF) scale as an EF-0 initially. The tornado continued to move north and strengthened to a rating of EF-2 as it moved approximately 3 miles southwest of Gothenburg. The storm then continued north, staying just west of Gothenburg as it crossed Interstate 80. The tornado fluctuated between EF-1 and EF-2 as it moved further north into Custer County. Top wind speeds during the event have been estimated at around 120 MPH.
Path widths ranged from 100 yards near initiation to as much as one mile in width at times. Several witnesses attested to the tornado width as this event evolved. Damage to farmsteads and residences was extensive - including roofs being partially blown off, wall and window damage, extensive tree damage including large trees being uprooted, and several sheds and outbuildings being destroyed. In addition power poles were snapped near their bases for a one mile stretch, about 5 to 6 miles north of Gothenburg. Extensive damage to center pivots were common especially north of Gothenburg to the Dawson/Custer County line.
EF Scale ratings are preliminary at this time and may be updated later after viewing more photographic evidence.
The National Weather Service in Hastings sent out a tornado survey team, utilizing GPS technology to map the tornado damage path, and then incorporating this information into Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) maps for futher graphic representation.
The map above is an expanded view of the main damage track of the Dawson County tornado, from the NWS Hastings storm survey of April 21st, 2007. The tornado track was investigated from the initial touchdown point to the Dawson and Custer county lines.
Note: The inverted black triangles indicate locations of damage as noted by National Weather Service investigating officials, through the use of our GIS Storm Survey equipment, personal interviews with owners of properties involved, and cooperation with Dawson County Emergency Management and law enforcement officials.
The map above is a blown up view of the area affected by the tornado track as it moved across western Dawson County.
The thumb nail images below (please click to enlarge) show some of the damage incurred by the tornado - as it first touched down just north of Wiggens Canyon near Banner Church Road, then proceeded on a northerly track through far western Dawson County. Luckily the main damage path remained a couple miles west of the city of Gothenburg itself, although numerous homes and farmsteads sustained significant damage.
(From left to right - debris at farmstead,- 2nd and 3rd pictures above show debris in fields, and 4th picture remnants of a grain bin)
(From left to right - hole punched into kitchen of home from debris, roof remnants in field, roof off structure, and farm outbuildings gone)
(Left to right - scarecrow among debris, large trees down, roof off garage building not held by hurricane clips, and center pivot damage)
The picture above was provided by National Weather Service meteorologist Ryan Pfannkuch - taken at 800 PM on April 20th while the storm was along the Frontier/Red Willow county line. This supercell thunderstorm went on to produce the tornado across Dawson County later in the evening.

I bought these gloves for myself and everyone on my list for Christmas last year. It was an older model it looks like as they weren't touchscreen compatible and these ones look like they are. I used them on cold, windy days all winter in northern Utah and they did great. They kept me warm, cut wind, and the fit was excellent. Absolutely would recommend them to anyone.

I love, love, love, this - my all time favorite scrub for the body (sometimes I use St. Ives Apricot but that's mostly for the face).
This smells wonderful and is a great pick-me-up to use in your morning shower. The granules are the perfect consistency for my sensitive skin so I highly recommend it. I love it - too bad I ran out and I can't buy any at this time due to my budget.
Love love the scent... smells good in and out of the shower. *******
Would have given this 5 lippies if it exfoliated your skin.
When I first bought this product I was disappointed and fully intended to return it. The "exfoliating" beads were too gentle and too few... I never got around to returning it.. and decided to give it another try.
NOW I love this product.. and hope that it hasn't been discontinued.. Unless of course they are selling an improved version that actually exfoliates. Smile.
This is a creamy gel body wash with gentle "scrubbing" ** beads. It smells heavenly of coffee... produces a rich lather effortlessly... and rinses clean. Regrettably the delicious smell doesn't linger into the day. Instead you smell like you.. only cleaner / fresher.
** "scrubbing" the beads are so gentle that you could shower 2x day with this product, every day of the week.. and still not irritate your skin.
**** I am PICKY PICKY about fragrance/ scent ... Don't care for strong scents.. very difficult to please me. My "Scent-sitivy" is annoying to even me... wish I could wear perfume... use products that are fabulously effective if not stinky to my nose..
I think this is discontinued but I love this scrub! It was inexpensive, gets my skin super smooth, and has a really energizing coffee scent - quite strong though. My only complaint was it is very difficult to get out of the tube - you have to press really hard. Not fun to do while sleepy and showering. Overall a great body scrub for a great price.
This product not only smells great, but it does a very good job exfolliating/smoothing my skin. My skin isn't too rough but it's certainly not perfect either. After one use of this scrub, the skin on my legs and arms felt totally smooth. A small amount goes a long way too. Oh yeah, it's a lathering scrub which makes me feel like I'm getting clean as well as exfolliated when I use this.
I got this as part of a gift set. This scrub has a deliciously rich coffee latte-ish smell that almost smells like a dessert, but it's not sickly sweet either. It really wakes me up and gets my circulation flowing in the morning, especially when I use a loofah mitt. Plus, my skin feels really smooth afterwards. The grains are a little harsh sometimes, but then again I have super-sensitive skin. I use it once every few days when I need a little perking up to make it last longer.
I agree with other reviewers. This scrub smells delicious. It's a true rich hazelnutty coffee scent that doesnt turn weird, however the scrub formula leaves something to be desired. The actual scrubby granueles don't do a very good job of scrubbing at all. It's more of a novelty product than something that's actually effective. If I got this as a gift, I would gratefully accept it, but I can't say that I want to spend my money on this again.
this stuff smells sooo good. unfortunately, the scrub is not as good as I had hoped. I won't be buying this product again.
This sounded so good I had to try it, I mean I love anything coffee-scented and I needed a new scrub. The tube is very practical, I hate it when there's a cap/lid you have to pull hard to open and that are sometimes so difficult to open that you have to step out of the shower! My only dissapointment was the smell, it's okay-good, coffee-like, but I was expecting a bit more from the 'coffee and cream'-sound of the product. They also mentioned cinnamon and vanilla in the product text, but I can't smell any of that! I can't really say it boosts my energy, as it says in the ad, but I feel that it does exfoliate well (it's not a soft scrub like many whimpy scrubs are), it feels great, I can practically feel my bloodcirculation get stimulated. A con is that it contains cellulite-busting caffeine which none of my previously scrubs did. I give it four lippies for a good scrub, practical packaging and cellulite-busting caffeine, but I had to remove one because the smell was a bit dissapoiting.
I really wanted to love this, but I was not impressed. The smell was AWESOME and I thought the size was great for the money. I was wrong. You have to use a lot to get it all over and the exfoliating beads fall right off, leaving the slimy residue behind. I didnt get any exfoliation from this and the big tube went sooo fast. Seriously, I doubt it lasted two weeks. Will NOT repurchase :(
I bought this for my husband because he is a coffee freak and I thought he'd like to smell like coffee since he loves it so much. My husband loved the product. I personally love the smell, it's intoxicating. The only thing I didn't like was the gel like consitancy of the scrub. It didn't do much to exfoliate my skin but boy did it smell good.

IxDA Members who are ready to brave another conference will likely be interested in a Design Research event we are holding here at Arizona State University on March 6th and 7th. The info follows:
EXPOSED: A Design Research Exchange
Dates: March 6th-7th Location: Tempe, Arizona Description:
What mysteries lie beneath the surface of Design Research practice? What catalyzing forces will shift future paradigms of Design Research?
Hi Community,
We are 25% sold out for the conference and 25%-40% sold out for most workshops. Sign up now. Workshops will go up in price on Jan 1 if there is still space available.
The conference team is really excited about the planning. We are going to have several new ways for people to contribute at the conference besides the scheduled talks. Stay tuned we will be announcing these updates soon.
Hi! I need to choose an event that will give me the best of skills and inspiration, working as an interaction designer. What event is the best? Do anyone hav experience from this jakob nielsen event? http://www.nngroup.com/
Hi All,
We're having our annual user conference very soon and we're looking to have an interactive component to our presentation at the end where our users are asked to do something.
As for that certain something, we're not sure yet what to do.
We had thought of a design workshop but thought that wouldn't be too useful to have 20 some odd people argue about the merits of the design - it's better left to testing.
So I'm coming to you fine folks for ideas. What kind of activity we can offer our users that make it entertaining and engaging?
Any help is appreciated.
IxDA NL and Chi Nederland, the Dutch local chapter of ACM SIGCHI, organize an international conference on interaction design. This event, by the name of 'Design by Fire conference', offers an inspiring stage for interaction, information, interface and experience designers.
After the success in 2007 a second edition was inevitable. We are very pleased with the speakers on the program for this year:
:: Brendan Dawes, Creative Director for magneticNorth (UK), will take care of an inspiring keynote titled 'C30, C60, C90, GO!'.
Hi everyone,
Oz-IA invites your participation to this premier Australian event on Information Architecture for the web.
As promised, I made a second version of the podcast for those who prefer to download just the audio of the talks. Both links & subscription instructions are at:
Hope everything works fine, let me know if anything goes wrong.
Cheers, Alex
Our Marketing dep't wants me to do "usability testing" at an upcoming user conference -- a gathering of our software users. The conference's purpose: for users to improve their software skills and to learn about upcoming product advancements.
I proposed a card sort, because it's low-tech, relatively quick, and needs little setup. This meets y needs (I have something I need sorted), but does not meet the conference goals; it won't help users improve their skills or learn about upcoming product advancements. So it got lots of thumbs down.
Join us for the seventh annual Boston Mini UPA conference at Bentley College in Waltham, MA on Wednesday, May 28th!
Hear and discuss critical topics in usability and user-centered design with practitioners, students, and experts in the field.

Ah, that's cool.
Me, i just talk to my friends that are online, do some RPG forums, check my threads, and check my groups.
That's good. And I see. I'm never online either. Maybe for about a few mintues a day. I like to check some threads, respond to messages, and check my social group and that's basically it. It doesn't usually take long.
I am fine, i need a few more friends because not a lot of them are online wen i come on.
Ello ello. I'm fine, thanks. N you? And why're you trying to make a few more friends? You want more/don't have enough? What makes people think they don't have enough friends, I wonder. xD; I'm odd.
Hello, how are you? I am trying to make a few more friends.

Airport Security
Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have combined X-ray and imaging technology into what they hope will be a more effective, economical technology package that can be used to scan containerized liquids carried by passengers though airport security checkpoints.
A low-power X-ray scanner coupled with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology, they said, could be a breakthrough for quickly and efficiently screening liquids at terminal checkpoints to see if they present a threat. The inability to effectively scan liquids has been problematic for security screeners. Dubbed MagRay by its developers, the system was funded by the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate.
In a lab statement, MagRay engineer Larry Schultz said the technology's goal is to quickly and accurately distinguish between liquids that appear identical to the naked eye. What appears to be a bottle of white wine could potentially be nitromethane, a liquid that could be used to make an explosive, explained the lab. Both are clear liquids, but one would be relatively safe on a commercial aircraft, while the other would be strictly prohibited. Schultz, MagRay project leader Michelle Espy and a team of scientists at Los Alamos searched for a way for airport security personnel to tell the difference between a potentially dangerous liquid and a harmless one quickly, accurately and cost-effectively.
"One of the challenges for the screening of liquids in an airport is that, while traditional X-ray based baggage scanners provide high throughput with good resolution of some threats, there is limited sensitivity and selectivity for liquid discrimination," said Espy. "While MRI can differentiate liquids, there are a certain class of explosives, those that are complex, homemade, or may have mixes of all kinds of stuff that are more challenging."
In a video posted on YouTube, Espy and the MagRay team explained the new technology was developed with a simple operator interface that offers a "green light" or "red light" scan result without complicated data that would take time to sort through. Additionally, said James Hunter, a Los Alamos X-ray testing engineer working on the project, a scanner combining the two technologies wouldn't be very large and might be made with off-the-shelf components. "Normally a terminal system takes a lot of work and a lot of things don't work right," he said. The MagRay system, he said, isn't one of those.
"I am amazed at how good it works," said Espy. "We've been able to look at a really broad class of explosives, we've been able to look through all kinds of packaging, and we've unlocked a new parameter – proton content – that's not available to either X-ray or MRI alone."
"We're looking for where a liquid lies in a sort of three-dimensional space of MRI, proton content, and X-ray density," said Schultz. "With those measures we find that benign liquids and threat liquids separate real nicely in this space, so we can detect them quickly with a very high level of confidence."
In the lab's video, Espy said the detection technology is in the "proof of concept" stage. "The hope is that we'll be able to more seamlessly integrate the X-ray detector and the X-ray source into the existing footprint of the bottle screener and keep the device small and inexpensive."

I do not think the airlines and the airports would like to install this. It would give the people back the ability to bring their own beverages at a tremendous savings over the prices that are being charged in the terminal and eventually in the aircraft. And in this day of longer waits in the airport, that is a lot of profit lost (did you notice water fountains are harder to find in most airports? On my last trip I could see where they were on the wall at one time.)But it would be nice to be able to bring more than a three day supply of tooth paste on a long trip again! (assuming that is a substance that is passed as good)

Criminals or Patients? Towards a Tragic Conception of Moral and Legal Responsibility
- Mark Coeckelbergh
- … show all 1 hide
There is a gap between, on the one hand, the tragic character of human action and, on the other hand, our moral and legal conceptions of responsibility that focus on individual agency and absolute guilt. Drawing on Kierkegaard's understanding of tragic action and engaging with contemporary discourse on moral luck, poetic justice, and relational responsibility, this paper argues for a reform of our legal practices based on a less 'harsh' (Kierkegaard) conception of moral and legal responsibility and directed more at empathic understanding based on the emotional and imaginative appreciation of personal narratives. This may help our societies and communities to better cope with unacceptable deeds by individuals who are neither criminals nor patients, to make room for praise as well as blame and punishment, and to set up practices and institutions that do not rely on a conception of responsibility that is hard to bear for all of us.

by User167212 on
The original person who took our order was very helpful. We had more $ approved for another unit and the 2nd person was equally helpful. The selection was very limited by the 2nd order, but your rep was very helpful in finding the best inflatable for our needs. The fellows who delivered WERE WONDERFUL. They were VERY patient, we had some power issues! and VERY helpful in resolving the problem! Great guys!!
3 Year Customer - Love Their Service!
by User166376 on
This is our third year in a row renting. Our family looks forward to having a slide every year . It's the highlight of the party. We appreciate all the hard work that goes into delivering on time and the physical effort it takes to set up and tear down. We are already planning for next year.
WOW!! Worst Service Ever!
by User31161 on
Ok so this is totally ironic. I am reading the last post from the review on July 27th and thought I was reading my own. WE HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN!!! We ordered a straight slide - 20 ft. only to get a wavy 16ft slide. the driver was unprofessional, rude, talked crap about me to my 10 year old. 2 kids had injuries from the wavy slide that we have not had in the past from the straight slide. It is dangerous and not what we ordered. We could have got a 16ft slide from another vendor if that is what we wanted. They totally use the bait and switch and then offer very little to resolve it. This company is the WORST. Check out their BBB rating. they have an F. SO DISAPPOINTING. For whoever wrote this post on July 27th, we should sue. They are clearly using bad business practices. I have an ER bill now and a childs friend that is hurt.
Owner response: We apologize for this and want to make it right for you. The wave slide is the most popular waterside on the market and it is an upgrade that most people want. The deliver driver is the same from the bad reviews we have received in the last two weeks incidents and is not longer with the company. We initiated the call this customer to make it right, immediately after the driver checked in. Also, we initiated a refund seeking to make it right.
Horrible service. Delivery and pickup on wrong days.
by User165907 on
This company has horrible delivery service. We ordered a slide for four hours, 10-2. They had to deliver the slide the night before, but delivered two hours later than the quoted delivery window. They did not pick up the slide until the following day. Having the slide in my driveway longer than the agreed-upon contract is not acceptable.
Owner response: We often get so busy that we deliver early and pick up late. We always ask for approval from the customer before dropping early. All of our customers are usually thrilled to get extra time for FREE. We are sorry that it was an inconvenience for you, but its very common industry practice and we've never had a complaint for a customer receiving additional play hours for free.

by User165357 on
DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY. WORST SERVICE.they didn't bring the slide we paid for & they are rude & unprofessional.We prepaid for a straight slide weeks before our event.Friday two drivers showed up 40 minutes late with a wavy slide that we did not order & they did not have the proper length of electric cord even though we were well within 75 ft from an electric outlet as required. We immediately called the office and they said they gave the slide to someone else and tried to play it off as a free upgraded slide(bait and switch)Kids went down a few times-bump on slide made kids fly off causing injuries.Called the office & they said no one would call us until Monday.We asked them to come get the slide and give us a refund because they could not produce the slide we paid for.Driver showed up 3 hours later & was belligerent & rude-talked inappropriately to our kids & said his dad owned the company & no one would call us back & they haven't.several calls to office no response
Owner response: We apologize for this drivers behavior and we are embarrassed by how he has misrepresented our company. Having said that we are more disappointed that you had to endure his treatment of you. Know that he is being reprimanded and we want to do whatever is necessary to make this right for you. You have our sincere apologies and we hope that you will give us an opportunity to regain your trust and business in the future. Again, action is being taken to ensure this never happens again for any of our customers. We have been in business a long time and this is not the representation we want as a company and take your experience very seriously.

When I was a little girl, I must have read Francis Hodgson Burnett's "The Secret Garden" at least ten times. I was absolutely fascinated by almost everything about it. The old house with a name (Misselwaithe Manor? Why didn't I think of this, let's name our house! Suffice it to say, whatever title I dreamed up didn't catch on in my childhood home) that was gigantic enough to make it hard to know who all lived there, the overgrown garden that had been locked up for mysterious reasons, the way the British lived in India, the sensory descriptions of how bringing the garden back to life felt and smelled…I ate it all up. It was like a fairy tale that could actually happen, and the story felt both nostalgic and exotic at the same time. I had never heard of a moor, and I had certainly never encountered phonetic spelling of a thick Yorkshire accent like that of the the undermaid, Martha. Continue reading

Classics for Kids: Charlotte's Web
Once again, I've learned the great joy of revisiting a book from my childhood. I thought I remembered the story of E.B. White's "Charlotte's Web" but it turns out those memories were muddled by images from the animated film based on the book and largely revolve around the spider Charlotte and the pig she saves, Wilbur. On a recent road trip, my family listened to the audiobook version of this classic, read by White himself—a real delight as his New England accent and warm voice are a perfect match for the text and create the feeling of being told a story by one's grandfather. I was surprised to learn that the pig's initial savior is 8-year-old Fern. Mr. Arable, Fern's father, is set to slaughter the runt of the litter, but Fern pleads for Wilbur's life to be spared.
"Fern was up at daylight, trying to rid the world of injustice. As a result, she now has a pig. A small one to be sure, but nevertheless a pig. It just shows what can happen if a person gets out of bed promptly." When I heard this line, I really, really hoped my 9-year-old was listening. Getting her out of bed in the morning is torture.

Classics For Kids: Beverly Cleary Audio Collection
Like many people these days, I'm always on the go, so I love DBRL's collection of downloadable audiobooks, made available through a service called OverDrive. I simply download and transfer audiobooks to my iPhone (mp3 players and iPods will also play them) and listen to stories while I drive, walk the dog, wash the dishes, exercise, etc.
Many kids' titles are available for download, both new books and classics. These are great for families to listen to during long car trips. Audiobooks can also be a good transitional tool for reluctant readers, either alone or with the print copy to follow along. Some books are even better to listen to, when the narrators do a good job of dramatizing the story.
I recently decided to check out "The Beverly Cleary Audio Collection" because it had six books in one download. Continue reading
Classics for Kids: From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
Practically every kid has dreamed of running away from home, or at least embarking on an adventure of some sort. Personally, I've always fantasized about secretly lingering after-hours and spending the night someplace I shouldn't, like a candy shop, a bookstore or a museum. Perhaps this is why I love, love, love "From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler" (1967) by E. L. Konigsburg.
Twelve-year-old Claudia and her brother Jamie (selected as her partner-in-crime for the sizable sum he has saved in his piggy bank) run away to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The sharp and responsible (well, except for the running away part) Claudia has meticulously planned their escape, and the kids cleverly use the resources of the museum to get by. They sleep in a royal bed and pilfer money from the fountain. After a few nights in the museum, Claudia sees a statue so beautiful, she feels compelled to identify its sculptor and perhaps become famous in the process. To find out the statue's origin, she must visit its former owner, the elderly Mrs. Frankweiler.
Snappy, funny dialogue. Living in a gorgeous museum among exquisite art. Running away to one of the world's most exciting cities. Solving a mystery. What's not to love? Put this book in the hands of your favorite precocious kiddo (or adult). They will thank you for it.
Classics for Kids: Anne of Green Gables
I'm the mama of a spunky, freckled redhead, so it is no wonder that I am partial to heroines like Anne Shirley, the spunky, freckled and redheaded main character of "Anne of Green Gables" (1908) by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery.
Anne is an orphan who is sent by mistake to live with a middle-aged brother and sister on Prince Edward Island. Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert were expecting a strong young boy to help out on the farm, and at first Marilla wants to send Anne back to the orphanage. Kind-hearted Matthew convinces his sister to let Anne stay, and over the course of the book the reserved Marilla lets herself be won over by Anne's spirit and intelligence, deciding to overlook the mischief into which Anne's imagination often leads her.
