Comments about Gregory Baltoro 65 Backpack:
I use the pack for weekend-long amateur backpacking trips from my friends and family. The pack was a definite upgrade from the older exposed-frame packs I was accustom to. I loved how comfy the frame and straps were - the pack just hugs you. This pack had so many great features, I cannot list them all. The only thing they didn't think of, was building-in rain gear directly on the pack.

Comments about Gregory Baltoro 65 Backpack:
I bought this pack for my upcoming thru-hike attempt of the Appalachian trail. I spent many hours researching packs and reading users reviews and all that jazz. Regardless of what anyone says, the best way to find the pack for you is to simply try it on. While this pack what a bit heavier than what I was original aiming for, as soon as I threw it on my back and strapped down, I immediatley felt good about it. I would much rather have a durable and comfortable pack that weighs a bit more than to sacrafice such important needs for a ultra light pack. I tried a UlA pack my roommate purchased for the trip and there is deffinitley a world of a differnce between that and the baltoro. While I love the idea of having a ultra light pack, I love the idea more of finishing my thru-hike with a pack that I know will last without breaking my back. The gregory is a little heavier simply because of its suspension system. And that system is what makes the gregoy pack simply amazing. I have some decent back issues and most packs i tried on pulled my shoulders back, leaving a gap inbetween my back and the pack, thus causing me to feel much more on my back than i should. Yes it is a backpack, but most of the weight should be resting on your hips. The hip harness on the baltoro is second to none. It is thick, comfy, and best of all adjustable. As your hips move, the harness moves to allow for natural movement. All in all, I feel good with the pack on back and truly believe it is the best option for me. Like I said earlier however, certianly take the time to try on as many packs as you can before settling for something. If you do so, make sure you try the baltoro though, because you will have a better understanding of the positive differences it provides.

Registrar-Lock - allows the domain owner to lock his/her domain name, in order to avoid unauthorized, or accidental changes to the domain name.
Transfer - means change of the domain registrar; usually 1 year is added to the registration upon successful completion of the transfer. Domain transfer fee is equal to the domain registration fee. In some caces, EPP authorization key, that must be provided by the current registrar is required.
Edit WHOIS - allows the publicly displayed WHOIS information of the domain name to be edited.
ID Protect - allows protection of the publicly available WHOIS information by replacing it with fictitious information.
Registration Period - various TLDs can be registered for different periods.
Single registration/transfer - this refers to the price of a 1-year registration/transfer for a particular TLD, purchased with a web hosting plan. For the majority of TLDs, the minimum registration period is 1 year. For the TLDs marked with "*" this period is 2 years.
Notes - displays special requirements for certain TLDs, as well as the dedicated Registration Agreements that must be observed in addition to the general Registration Agreement.
Registration Approval
Domain name registration is not instant and needs approval by the .UK registry Nominet.
There is no defined period for approval/rejection of domain registration requests.
Registration Period
The registration period for .UK domain names is 2 years.
Domain Renewal
Renewals are possible for 2-year periods only. A renewal cannot be issued until at least five (5) months
prior to the domain's expiration date and effects of a renewal do not occur instantly.
Example: You register a .UK domain on April 9, 2003, for two years. Then, on April 7, 2005,
you renew the domain for an additional two years. Your domain will then be scheduled to expire on April 9, 2007.
If, however, you do not renew your domain on April 7, 2005, it will be deleted on April 8, 2005.
The reason for this is that Nominet uses a non-real-time email-based system to make status changes in the .UK registry.
The combination of this email-based system and Nominet's policy on renewals means that we will be charged
for a renewal unless the name is deleted (via instructions in an email) prior to the end of the registration period
which is then in effect. As a consequence, if we do not receive your renewal request prior to one-day
before the end of the registration period, the deletion will be processed one-day before the end of the registration period.
Also, all .UK registrations are bound to the Nominet's Dispute Policy, available on the Nominet's home page
that shall be applied instead of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy.
Domain Deletion
.UK domains, which are not renewed, will be deleted one day before the scheduled expiration date.
WHOIS Management
In order to modify the WHOIS of .UK domain names, you should contact Nominet for assistance.
In addition, you must cover the fees, required by Nominet, for WHOIS modification.
WHOIS / ID Protection
This service in not available for .UK domain names.
Registrar Change / Transfer
The fee that we require for transfer from one domain registrar to ours is different
from the fee needed for modification of the WHOIS, which is considered as formal transfer.
Domain renewal is possible for 1 year and must be ordered before the expiration date. If a domain name expires, it is removed from our account with our registrar, and becomes available for registration at least 16 days after the date of expiration.
This service in not available for .COM.MX domain names.
It is possible only to transfer .COM.MX domain names away to another registrar, while transfers to us are not supported by our registrar.
Registrant Requirements
.CA domain names can be registered by Canadian citizens, individuals having permanent residency in Canada
and companies under the laws of Canada. Because of this requirement, additional contact details are required
during the registration procedure itself and that is why we have made a separate page as a step of the domain registration process.
This page allows you to choose the correct attribute from the list of options.
The registrant cannot change the WHOIS in order to transfer ownership from one person or organization to another -
this can be done through the .CA registry CIRA. However, it is possible to change the registrant's address, phone number
and other contact details by opening a ticket to the Customer Support staff from the Help Center section in the Web Hosting Control Panel.
Example: If a domain is registered to "John Smith" and the registrant wishes to change the address, this is not a problem.
However, if he/she wishes to change the registrant to "Peter Gibson", this is considered as transfer and the registrant must contact the .CA registry CIRA for assistance.
This service in not available for .CA domain names.
1. A natural person (i) who is a United States citizen, (ii) a permanent resident of the United States of America or any of its possessions or territories, or (iii) whose primary place of domicile is in the United States of America or any of its possessions,
2. An entity or organization that is (i) incorporated within one of the fifty (50) U.S. states, the District of Columbia, or any of the United States possessions or territories or organized, or (ii) otherwise constituted under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or any of its possessions or territories (including a federal, state, or local government of the United States, or a political subdivision thereof, and unincorporated organizations based in the United States), or
3. An entity or organization that has a bona fide presence in the United States of America or any of its possessions or territories.
This service in not available for .US domain names.
There is a requirement for the registrant (person or organization) to be established within the European Union.
The registration period for .EU domain names is 1 year, which applies also for their renewal.
Renewal requests will be accepted by the date of expiration (e.g. September 14th, 2008) or by the 20th of the month of expiration,
in cases when the date of expiration is after that date (e.g. September 25th, 2008).
Example: If the name expires on Sept 14th, 2008, then a renewal request must be received by Sept 14th, 2008. If a name expires on September 25th, 2008,
the renewal request must be received prior to September 20th, 2008.
Once the domain has been registered with certain WHOIS information, the information can not be edited.
However, minimal corrections are possible as an exception. Such requests must be sent to our support team via the ticketing system
available in the Help Center of the web hosting Control Panel. One should have in mind that the registrant's personal or company name
can not be modified because such changes are considered as 'formal transfer'. In order to execute transfer of the domain ownership,
the registrant must contact directly the EURid registry using the information on their webpage.
Example: If a domain is registered to "John Smith" and the registrant wishes to change the address this is not a problem.
However, if he/she wishes to change the registrant to "Peter Gibson", this is considered as transfer and the registrant must contact
the .EU registry EURID for assistance.
This service in not available for .EU domain names.
It is not possible to change the registrar of an .EU domain name.
Domain name registration is not instant and needs approval by the .DE registry DENIC.
There is no defined period for approval/rejection of domain registration requests.
Registration Requirements
There is a requirement for a German street address or a P.O. box added to the Administrative contacts section of the WHOIS.
The registration period varies between 1 to 10 years. Renewals for multiple years are possible as well.
.DE domain name can be renewed successfully up to 10 days before the expiration date. When less than 10 days are left to the domain's expiration date, it gets a "Transit" status and the registry attempts to contact the registrant. If, after 4 weeks, there is no response, the domain is transferred to DENICdirect for further management and the registrant must contact then, in order to renew the domain name.
WHOIS / Contact Information
In order to approve a registration request, the registry has set a requirement for street address or P.O. Box within Germany in the administrative contact section. To fulfill this requirement, an additional step has been added after the WHOIS information Please note that the .DE registry, DENIC may not approve the registration if the address is not correct.
This service is not applicable for .DE domain names.
It is not possible to change the registrar of .DE domain names.

Amid international concerns about security, the Sochi Games completed the first day of contests Thursday with high excitement and -- equally important -- no major adverse incident.
After all the anxiety about a terror strike, controversy over gay rights and ridicule over poor preparations, the Winter Olympics commenced smoothly enough, as qualification events were held in the men's and women's slopestyle, women's moguls and team figure skating.
The last of the athletes arrived at the Russian venue on Thursday, including the bulk of Team USA, and the Olympians will hold the Games' official opening ceremony Friday.
On the eve of that ceremony, Dmitry Chernyshenko, head of the Games, promised Sochi will be "the safest place on Earth during the Olympics."
Thursday's developments involved more than just sports.
There's no doubt it's the issue at the forefront of people's minds.
Russia has drafted some 37,000 police and security officers to handle security in Sochi. But that's not been enough to assuage everyone's fears.
Toothpaste terror: A day after the United States warned of how explosive materials could be concealed in toothpaste or cosmetic tubes, its government Thursday temporarily banned all liquids, gels, aerosols and powders in carry-on luggage on flights between the United States and Russia.
A law enforcement source told CNN the effort is intended as a very targeted response to the threat that became public Wednesday, and should have a minimal impact on the traveling public. The Transportation Security Administration ordered airlines to ban the items from carry-on bags, but allow them in checked bags.
U.S. partnership: Meanwhile, U.S. authorities are working with the Russians and other countries to try to disrupt several possible threats, including the toothpaste tube concern, a U.S. intelligence source said Thursday.
The threats vary in credibility, and the biggest one traces to the group Imarat Kavkaz in Russia, which has publicly said its followers will try to disrupt the games, the official said.
Meanwhile, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, told CNN she's read the threat reports about the Olympics. "The threat stream is credible, I think it's real," she said.
Feinstein noted at least one terrorist group -- the Caucasus Emirate -- "is conceivably capable of carrying out an attack," she said.
"If I had a son or daughter performing in the Olympics, I would go. Now that I don't, I probably would not," said Feinstein. "I've seen the threat stream, and I know the opposition, and the opposition is dogged. It is continuing, it is threatening, and hopefully arrests can be made and any attack can be stopped."
Private protection: The U.S. ski and snowboarding team has hired a private security firm, Global Rescue, to provide protection. It's not clear how much the firm could do in the event of a major incident, when Russian forces will be in charge, but it has been gathering intelligence on the ground and will provide an extra layer of protection as athletes travel around.
Ships for safety: Meanwhile, two U.S. Navy ships have steamed into the Black Sea, where they will be ready to help if any mass evacuation of U.S. citizens is needed. U.S. security officials have also been working with their Russian counterparts on how to keep the Games safe against the backdrop of a regional separatist movement that has used terrorism in the past and has threatened to use it during Sochi's Olympic Games.
Targets of threats: Americans are not the only ones who are jittery. Austria said this week that two of its female athletes had been the target of specific threats. Austrian media reported an anonymous letter was sent warning Alpine skier Bernadette Schild and skeleton racer Janine Flock they could be kidnapped.
We've heard it before: It's not the first time security issues have dominated the build-up to the Olympics -- Britain parked missile batteries on apartment block roofs and a warship on the River Thames before the 2012 Games. The Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2002 were held amid heightened security only months after the 9/11 terror attacks in the United States -- and the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta were subject to a terror attack.
Being an athlete: Upon arriving to Sochi, U.S. ice skater Maia Shibutani didn't hear of the explosive toothpaste threat. She and brother Alex, her skating partner, had been too busy traveling.
But she can't be distracted by the threats, as serious as they are, she said.
"Yesterday we were doing processing, and then we were traveling all morning, so, no, we hadn't heard about that," she said Thursday of the toothpaste threats. "But I think that, really our job here is to just focus on what we can control and what we can do, and that's how we're going to perform at our first Olympics."
When Russia bid to host its first Winter Olympics in 2007, a document quoted an expected cost of around $12 billion. That figure has ballooned to around $50 billion. That's more than four times over budget and surpasses Beijing's 2008 Summer Games -- making it the most expensive Olympics ever, summer or winter.
Russia had less than seven years to transform what was a fairly low-key seaside resort town into a Winter Olympics venue -- a project that required staggering feats of engineering in building a new freeway and rail link up a mountain, and a ski resort on the top. And yet questions over Sochi's readiness have dogged the final run-up to the Games.

'Big Gay Breakfast'
14 September 2009
'Big Gay Breakfast'
Monday 14th September 2009. Chicago. Day off.
By the time we got from Chicago to Toronto last night, driven to the hotel and got our bags, with the time-change it was nearly 5am. I was a shell of a human and annoyingly didn't sleep terribly well (I'd hoped that going out and blowing my brains out on Saturday night would have kicked the jet-lag but apparently I'm still messed up. Or maybe I am over the jet-lag, but I'm just messed up anyway).
I eventually got up about noon feeling not unlike I'd been hit by a truck. It was a blistering day outside, so I thought I'd risk mingling with civilians. I was craving breakfast, but by the time I'd got my shit together it must have been 2pm so I knew options would be limited. Tom called just after I'd left the hotel, so we said we'd find each other. I described where I'd headed but looking at a map realised that I'd headed in the opposite direction to what I'd intended (are we seeing a pattern here?)
Via the wonders of cellphones we found each other and Tom concurred that the search for brekky was on. We walked a while but it seemed that the full egg package was going to be a stretch, so Tom said perhaps he'd settle for quiche, if we could p'raps find a Frenchy sort of place. With every step the bar was lowered til we got to thinking that maybe a club sandwich would be in the frame. To further complicate our task, we're in the middle of the Toronto Film Festival here and so everywhere is packed. The white table-clothed pavement cafes were overflowing with style and ambition, with florid menu offerings almost on a par with David Sedaris' unforgettable 'knuckle of flash-seared crappie served with a collar of chided ginger.'
I put my mind to it, thinking there must be places still doing breakfast at 3pm. Who gets up late and needs breakfast? Artists?... certainly. Clergy?... possibly. Gay people?...for sure!! I remembered from a month of rehearsals with the Rolling Stones that (ironically) the street adjacent to the loading dock of the iconic Maple Leaf Gardens forms the cusp of a gay neighbourhood, so we walked in that direction till we spotted rainbow flags in the distance. Outside the first cafe we came to was a sign saying 'Lunch Specials, Omelettes, Eggs Benedict, Breakfast til 4pm.' God bless stereotyping, that's all I have to say.
Our Big Gay Breakfast turned out to be spectacularly good, with generous portions, home-made hollandaise, freshly baked bread, unrequested sides of fresh fruit and the like. We had a table by the open window, sun streaming in, and talked about life, the universe and everything for an hour or two. On departure we went our separate ways and I ended up taking an extended walk through Toronto. I was still pretty dazed but it was a beautiful day and eventually I found myself in the very lovely Queens Park. Nice city this.
En route back to the hotel I passed the Museum of Ontario which is currently displaying the Dead Seas Scrolls, so I felt that it would be rude not to pop in. Unfortunately the scroll exhibit was closed today due to their being at the dry cleaners or something, but I did catch a film installation that featured Isabella Rossellini talking about vaginas whilst dressed as an anchovy and a large chart illustrating animal penis types. I kid you not. I bet the Dead Seas Scrolls wouldn't have had any of that mullarkey, although having said that, parts of Leviticus do get pretty out there, so you never know.

Late Breakfast in Toronto
Sorry for the late comment - I'm just catching up on your diary entries now. For future reference (maybe another show in 2010?) late day breakfast options in Toronto include Eggspectations (on Yonge St at Shuter St), Cora's (thank you Montreal! on Carlton just east of Yonge St), or if looking for some good French breakfasty food, venture out to Queen St E at Degrassi St (yes, THE Degrassi St) to go to Bonjour Brioche. And not to be nit-picky, but we usually your "Museum of Ontario" the "Royal Ontario Museum", aka the ROM, and the "Toronto Tower" is actually the "CN Tower". But we'll forgive your perpetually sleep-deprived self :)
19 September, 2009
This was a very fun post! Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work. Saw the band in Chicago 2nd night. The show was amazing. Your Blue Room lighting and all was lovely.
19 September, 2009
Willy, you're a riot!
Great quote from from David Sedaris. I'm a major fan of his. As for breakfast, glad you found what you were looking for. I think I know the place where you ate. Good food and great service. And I'm glad the Film Festival is over. I can return to wandering around my hometown without the Hollywood mayhem and endless media hype. Cheers.

Oooohh, Matron!
Oooooh, Willie! The innuendo potential knows no bounds as far as a Big Gay Breakfast is concerned. I can understand the "generous portions" you were offered, but I'm shocked at your surprise at the "unrequested fruit" at your side. That is so un-PC! LOL. Love reading your diary. Great work mate. Hey. You wanna do breakfast one day? No? Ok, no problem.....no, no, I'm not either, I just thought....you know....anyway forget it. Doesn't matter. No, no, it's ok. No, honestly. LOOK! I'M NOT HUNGRY ANYMORE! (lunch?)

Laughter is the Best Medicine
Thanks Willie. You are a comic genius. No wonder you work with U2. Big Gay Breakfast was good. Dead Sea Scrolls being dry cleaned had Jesus falling off the chair. Isabella & vagina monologues was the cherry that stopped me breathing. Thanks once again Willie. Peace be with you always Brother. p.s. Angels are laughing to.
18 September, 2009
Dead Seas Scrolls are on display? do they travel or it one-time-exhibition ? ooooo, I must find out!! thank you!! As usual I was chuckling over your adventures and I must say I agree with Davcal that you should put it all together in a book. His suggestion for a title made me fall off my chair with laughter. The Wandering Willie! LOL!! Heck, you can use today's photo for your cover.
18 September, 2009
Have you thought about putting all your musings together for a book? You are living every fans dream of following the band on a world tour AND you get paid for it!!! You could call the book 'Around the World in 360' or if you wanted to fool a lot of gay men into buying it you could call it 'the wandering willie'!!

Next stop... Foxboro
Please come to Waterfire on Saturday night in Providence - it's free, and it's BEAUTIFUL!!! It's truly an unforgettable fire! :)
17 September, 2009
Welcome back to Canada..
Your Toronto adventure had me laughing (on work time of course) and I love to hear about the odd places you end up. Sounds like a wonderful day and I hope you are feeling more like yourself soon, jet lag is a real bitch. The title of your post and the picture indicate a much more sinister post, I have to admit I was relieved to read the two were unrelated in the end. Whew! LOL! Cheers Willie!

Late Breakfast in MA
Hey- I know you guys are headed to MA as I am also headed there on Sunday for the show. YEEEEE HAAAA! Anyway, I don't know any great late breakfast places in Foxborough, but if you're willing to drive for a little while into Boston, there are two great places that serve breakfast all day. One is Johnny's Luncheonette in Newton Centre. They are opened until 9pm and have amazing challah french toast and good omelettes. The other is Zaftig's in Brookline--try the banana stuffed french toast, knishes and potato pancakes. Great food and open late--perfect for jet-lag or people who seem to go in the opposite direction of where they intended. ha!
17 September, 2009
OMG What a Life You Lead WIllie!
You have me laugh and made my day today! Great to hear of your adventures on this tour! I've heard Toronto is one of the wildest cities in North America!

Breakfast Anytime
Try IHOP or Denny's. They are open 24/7 & serve breakfast all day. Breakfast for dinner (AKA "Brinner") is one of my favorites!~)

'looking' good! where's the screens to show it
Phoronix: LibreOffice 4.0 Beta 2 Is Looking Good
LibreOffice 4.0 Beta 2 was recently released as the final beta ahead of the major 4.0 release for this leading open-source office suite...
'looking' good! where's the screens to show it
Quite frankly, the new LO 4.0 features look rather lame compared to what Apache is cooking for OO 4.0 planned release March/April 2013.
Sure, the upgrade from Python 2 to 3 breaks compatibility and therefore is enough to justify a 4.0 release but overall it's just a collection of rather small changes (updating GStreamer to 1.0, moving a few GUI items round, anti-aliasing). The few bigger changes are often completely useless stuff like an embedded Logo interpreter or support for MS Publisher.
Gratend, Visio file compatibility is nice. Calligra had it longer, though.
But aside a bucket full of smaller changes, Apache also has in store for OO 4.0, Apache also uses the chance to revamp the whole UI.
still not ? :/
Under filter improvements it just talks about visio, does anyone know if things like .docx and .pptx have better support? I mean I created a VERY simple presentation in 3.6.4 and saved it as pptx and it was all messed up when opened in office...
Also, some of the "small improvements" are needed to fix issues in other places (e.g. in several import/export filters).
BTW: I hope AOO's "all new UI" doesn't mean they will get IBM's Java/Eclipse based interface?

PAHO's newly installed Director, Carissa F. Etienne, met on Feb. 5 with Judith Rodin, President of the Rockefeller Foundation, to discuss expanded collaboration between the two institutions, which have both played central roles in promoting public health in the Americas since the early 20th century.
Dr. Etienne outlined her priorities as she begins her new term, saying that promoting universal health coverage in the countries of the Americas will be her "number-one priority." "This is the grand idea, and now we need to make it a reality. We've done a lot at the global and regional levels, now we need to move to the country level."
She said initial efforts in this regard will include assessing progress toward universal health coverage in different countries, examining PAHO's technical cooperation in this area, identifying and targeting vulnerable populations, creating a network of expertise to look at financial aspects and core benefit packages adjusted to country realities, and making recommendations for strengthening the Organization's role in advancing universal coverage in its member countries.
Before becoming PAHO Director, Dr. Etienne was the World Health Organization's Assistant Director-General for Health Systems and Services. In this capacity, she had chief responsibility for the production of the 2010 World Health Report, Health systems financing: the path to universal coverage, which received financial support from the Rockefeller Foundation.
Dr. Rodin said the Rockefeller Foundation also views universal health coverage as one of the most important public health challenges today.
Other priority areas discussed included reorganizing health systems based on primary health care models, the growing epidemic of noncommunicable diseases, public-private partnerships for health, and the challenge of aging populations in the Americas.
PAHO and the Rockefeller Foundation have collaborated in areas including gender equity, mobile health technologies and, most recently, an initiative to develop case studies of successful efforts in the Americas to mobilize inter-sectoral action for health promotion, in preparation for the World Conference on Health Promotion in Finland (Helsinki 2013).
Both leaders agreed to continue strengthening their collaborative efforts in support of universal health coverage and promoting the development of public health in the Americas by engaging all relevant stakeholders.
The Rockefeller Foundation, founded in 1913, is currently celebrating its centennial.

A blood pressure test measures the pressure in your arteries as your heart pumps. You might have a blood pressure test as a part of routine doctor's appointment or as a screening for high blood pressure (hypertension). Many people, such as those with high blood pressure, do their own blood pressure tests at home so that they can better track their health.
You may have frequent blood pressure tests if you've been diagnosed with prehypertension, high blood pressure (hypertension) or low blood pressure (hypotension).
Having a blood pressure test is a routine part of most medical appointments.
Your doctor may order separate appointments for repeat blood pressure tests to check for ongoing health conditions, including prehypertension, high blood pressure (hypertension), low blood pressure (hypotension), heart disease or other conditions.
You should have a blood pressure test performed at least once every two years to screen for high blood pressure as a risk factor for heart disease and stroke, starting at age 18. Your doctor may recommend screening at a younger age if there are additional risk factors for developing heart disease, such as being overweight or having a family history of high blood pressure or heart disease. If you've already been diagnosed with high or low blood pressure, you should have blood pressure tests more frequently.
Even if your doctor doesn't think you have high or low blood pressure as an ongoing condition, your blood pressure is important information for your doctor. It can provide information about your general health.
Your doctor may recommend that, in addition to regular blood pressure tests at a doctor's office, you perform blood pressure tests at home. There are automated home blood pressure monitors that are easy to use.
Having a blood pressure test doesn't have any risks to your health. The squeezing of an inflated blood pressure cuff on your arm may be uncomfortable, but it should last only a few seconds.
Occasionally a few tiny red spots (petechia) appear after the test just below the location of the cuff, especially if you are taking anti-platelet drugs.
No special preparations are needed for a blood pressure test. You might want to wear a short-sleeved shirt to your appointment so that the nurse or technician doing your blood pressure test has easy access to your arm to perform the test. However, if the main reason for your doctor's appointment is to check for or monitor high blood pressure, you should use the toilet before your test to empty your bladder, and avoid eating, drinking caffeinated beverages and smoking for one hour before your test.
Because some medications — such as over-the-counter cold medicines, antidepressants, birth control pills and others — can affect your blood pressure, it's a good idea to take a list of medications and supplements you use to your doctor's appointment. Don't stop taking any prescription medications that you think may affect your blood pressure without your doctor's advice.
Having a blood pressure test is often a routine part of a medical appointment. The test may be performed by a nurse or technician.
The test is performed best while you're seated in a chair in the examining room. Your arm should be supported, resting on a table at heart level, both feet flat on the floor and back supported by the chair.
Your health care provider will wrap an inflatable cuff around the top part of your arm so that the bottom of the cuff is just above your elbow. The cuff is attached to a dial, digital display or a device that looks similar to a thermometer. This equipment is called a sphygmomanometer (sfig-moe-muh-NOM-uh-tur).
Throughout the test, you should try not to talk or move your arm. The nurse or technician will feel the pulse at your wrist and then take a reading with the sphygmomanometer, checking for when the pulse is felt as the air deflates from the cuff. This is so he or she can figure out how much air to pump into the cuff to accurately measure your blood pressure.
Once a pulse from an artery is found and the stethoscope is positioned above the elbow, so the nurse or technician will hear the blood flow, he or she will begin inflating the cuff with a small hand pump. The nurse or technician will inflate the cuff to momentarily stop the blood flow through the artery in your arm.
Then the nurse or technician will open a valve on the hand pump to slowly release the air in the cuff. He or she will continue to listen to your pulse with a stethoscope to record your systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Systolic pressure — the top number of your blood pressure reading — is the pressure of the blood flow when your heart muscle contracts. Diastolic pressure — the bottom number of your blood pressure reading — is the pressure measured between heartbeats. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury, which is abbreviated mm Hg.
It's also possible your blood pressure will be measured using a machine that automatically measures your pulse to figure out your systolic and diastolic blood pressure. If this is the case, it's not necessary for the nurse or technician to search for your pulse with a stethoscope.
Whether your blood pressure is measured manually or with an automatic machine, it takes about a minute to complete a single blood pressure measurement.
The nurse or technician taking your blood pressure can tell you what your blood pressure is immediately after the test is over. Your doctor may discuss what the results mean if your blood pressure test shows that you have high or low blood pressure.
If your doctor thinks you may have high or low blood pressure and is trying to decide the best treatment options for you, you may need to have two or three follow-up appointments to have your blood pressure checked. This is because your blood pressure can vary from moment to moment and day to day. Also for this reason, you may be given multiple blood pressure tests during one visit. Your doctor will look at the results of each of your blood pressure tests to see if you need treatment. You may also be instructed to take several blood pressure readings at home.
It can be helpful in diagnosing or monitoring high blood pressure if you record your readings in a blood pressure log, whether on paper or electronically, such as in an online personal health record or blood pressure tracker, for example. This gives you the option of sharing your data with your health care providers and family members. Some blood pressure monitors can be connected directly to your computer, making it easy to transfer the information to an online record.
You can learn your blood pressure measurement as soon as your test is over. A blood pressure reading, given in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), has two numbers. The first, or top, number measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats (systolic pressure). The second, or bottom, number measures the pressure in your arteries between beats (diastolic pressure).
Here's a look at the four blood pressure categories and what they mean. If your readings fall into two different categories, your correct blood pressure category is the higher one.
*Ranges may be lower for children and teenagers. Talk to your child's doctor if you think your child might have high blood pressure.
**What's considered low blood pressure can vary from person to person. The numbers given are a general guideline.
If your blood pressure test shows that you have higher than normal blood pressure, your doctor will recommend that you make lifestyle changes to try to lower your blood pressure. These changes can include:
If lifestyle changes alone aren't enough, or if you have stage 2 hypertension, your doctor may recommend medications to help lower your blood pressure. Your doctor will discuss which medication options might work best for you.
Low blood pressure that either doesn't cause signs or symptoms, or causes only mild symptoms, such as brief episodes of dizziness when standing, rarely requires treatment. If you do have symptoms, the best treatment depends on the underlying cause.

Thread: Reading in July 2012
July 5th, 2012, 05:27 PM #16
Yes, too much musing on subjects that detracted from the feel of the book. It may have worked better as a collection of short stories/novellas linked by the common theme of the year 2312, rather than one longer story with tiny chapters with those slightly irritating (I thought) lectures and 'excerpts' in between the chapters. I think KSR was trying to go for a bit of the feeling of Stand On Zanzibar by introducing imaginary text books and things between the chapters - and the plot involving computers and terrorism was actually quite similar - but the conviction towards either infomercial or strong plot didn't go either way strongly enough I felt.

Just finished The Stars My Destination. After the Prologue, I had a hard time getting into it. Until Part II, that is. Those last 120 pages are completely gripping. Totally deserving of its status as a classic.
Also, has anybody else noticed just how indebted James S.A. Corey's The Expanse is to Bester's novel? There's a lot of inspiration being drawn, there, it seems to me.

I started (well, a couple of pages at least) Existence by David Brin today. It was basically a coin flip between it and Caliban's Hour for the next book. Regarding Brin, I wonder if I'll fall more in line with Werthead or suciul on this one.

I just read Vurt by Jeff Noon. I must have been in the mood for it because it took me just 3 days to finish. Quite a lot of fun, very much of its time (a mixture of cyberpunk, acid house and recession-period UK) and easy to read and follow, as long as you can accept the madness of it all. Reminded me quite a bit of Michael Marshall Smith's Only Forward, although I preferred Vurt.

Whew!!! Finished The Neutronium Alchemist by Peter Hamilton. Another manic, crazy, ending and a great cliffhanger (or three!). This was a great book for the middle volume of a trilogy! I know not everyone likes Hamilton but for me, The Night's Dawn trilogy are easily the best stories I've read this year. On to The Naked God! I can't wait to see how this ends... and who survives (my experience with Hamilton so far shows that he is not afraid to kill off a main character or two).

Finished up Surface Detail by Iain M Banks. It was a bit long in a couple of places but otherwise an awesome read! It had of the more memorable characters Ive read, Veppers. A truly evil man, but totally hysterical at the same time. For me he was sadistic comic relief and really kept me interested in the book. In the end I almost (almost) felt sorry for him: spoiler, for those who have read it:
Spoiler:I kept waiting to see how Banks was going to put Veppers out of his misery but I was a little disappointed when he was just julienned, while painful I though it was too quick.
My way would have been better: That NR (NA? whatever) hell that survived being destroyed... they should have transferred his mind into it and let him experience 10,000 years of subjective time in it, with separate copies of himself to replace everyone that was in there to begin with. In real time maybe a few minutes could have passed. Then cram all of the copies back into his head and then publicly execute him.
I just got started on Brin's Existence. It took a few chapters to get into it, but now that I am I'm hooked.
After that its onto my first book by Philip Jose Farmer, The Unreasoning Mask.

Must get myself a copy of Riverworld.
If I remember right, I did quite like The World of Tiers books though: I'd forgotten that!
July 11th, 2012, 07:47 AM #29
RE: Riverworld...
I read through the series ooohhh...a little over a decade ago when Del Rey reissued the series in trade paperbacks. I enjoyed them and felt the held up considering their age, even a decade ago.
Still trudging through Existence by Brin and still enjoying it.
July 11th, 2012, 05:34 PM #30
I've only read "Startide Rising" by Brin. Was thinking about reading another of his after I finish "The Adversary" (J. May). Any suggestions?
Thanks guys!

Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

[edit] Overview
Screen savers add another dimension to S60 personalization. Starting with S60 3rd Edition FP1 Graphic designers and artists can create screen savers for S60 Devices. Using familiar tools one can create screensavers as animated GIF, animated SVG or Flashlite Adobe Files. Here in this case we will have a look in to how to create a Animated GIF screen saver using an external tool for creating GIF (Adobe Photoshop).
[edit] Tools
Adobe Photoshop Creative Suite is the recommended tool from Nokia for creating GIF animations.
[edit] How To
- To create our animation from the file menu select New.
- In the New dialog set the name of the file.
- Change the width and height to 240 320 pixels (or the desired resolution of the device screen)
- On the blank canvas, create the initial frame for the GIF.
- Once the initial frame is ready, Go to Window -> Animation to view the Animation Window.
- From the Animation window click the animation menu and insert a new Frame.
- Once the new frame is inserted make the changes to the new frame. In this I have moved the logo upwards.
- Continue inserting new frames as required. Set the frame duration to 0.2 sec and repeat it forever.
- You can click on the play button to view how the final out put could be.
- Finally to save as GIF file, go to File menu -> Save for Web and Devices option or press Alt+Shift+Ctrl+S
- Since we dont have to do any further optimization for this simple animation, just press save.
- Final out put as animated GIF is ready.

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony will miss the team's final two games of the season after an MRI revealed a small tear to the labrum in his right shoulder.
No surgery is required at this time and Anthony will be re-evaluated in a month.
The 29-year-old Anthony averaged 27.4 points, a career-high 8.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists while starting all 77 games in which he appeared this season.
New York visits cross-town rival Brooklyn on Tuesday before closing out the season at home against Toronto on Wednesday.

I absolutely love this yarn. It is so incredibly buttery soft that it's hard to put down!! The color I ordered (aquamarine) is multifaceted - it is dispersed with blues and blue/green and is just gorgeous.
As the other reviewer noted, it does split at times - but not too much. The buttery softness and beautiful color definitely outweighs that tiny negative!

The tale of Rashid I Jalayirid 1708-1714 (Part 2/6)
The first thing besides the war that our new Sultan was worried with was our realms nobles, they wanted to pressure our Sultan to give in to their demands due to us being at war, as expected our leader did not oblige and the nobles spread vicious rumours and destabilized our realm as a result.
We got a report from Europe saying the the tiny country of Hamburg had laid a claim to the Austrian throne.
Our leader followed up our plan of getting Bohemia out of the war in order to free the northern front, we bribed them with a small indemnity of a mere 25 ducats.
Since the Bohemians gave up the war, many countries followed and soon only Venice and Austria forced to continue the war, while Magdeburg soon peaced out.
Also we have reports indicating that the Austrians themselves are troubled with revolts.
Austria is forced to give a humiliating peace to the Swiss, losing Tirol and much cash.
Our dear Sultan is most skilled in the art of combat, and as such he favors Quality in his troops.
Without ever facing the French in battle, the war ends in a white peace.
Our land technology gives us a stronger cavalry.
Our troops can nearly reach Vienna, and aren't far from the city now, however the war has taken it's toll and the country is yearning for peace.
Our Sultan realises that the war has reached the point where he can demand what he wants from the Austrians, and even though the armies are standing near the Austrian capital he demands that we make peace with them, in his own words, "There is no reason to continue the war, even if we reach Vienna we can't gain anything more, our people and theirs, have suffered enough. It's time to end this, this great victory for our country will be in the honor of the memory of the former Sultan, as it was he that made it all possible. We will continue his efforts, to make us even greater!"
These are the conditions of peace, in the three provinces they will keep in Turkey, we have planted rebels.
Overextension happens as a result of extremely quick rebels (Only took days for some reason, enlighten me anyone?)
Now that the war is over, we can introduce Rashids heir. Ahmad Jalayirid!
Also, Banten defects to us, a province in the middle of nowhere.
