How do I keep my cast iron grates from rusting?
To maintain the wonderful searing and grilling performance, as well as longevity, of your cast iron grates or other cast iron cooking tools, some special care is required. As with any cast iron cooking tool, proper seasoning is most important.
Please see information regarding Porcelain-coated Cast Iron below.*
First Time Use:
Before using a cast iron grate or other cast iron cooking tool, wash it thoroughly with a mild dishwashing liquid to remove the protective wax coating applied for shipping. Rinse with hot water and dry completely with a soft cloth or paper towel. NEVER ALLOW TO DRAIN DRY OR WASH IN A DISHWASHER. Now season the grates to prevent rust and sticking.
A solid vegetable shortening is recommended for the initial seasoning. Spread a thin coating of solid vegetable shortening over the entire surface, including all corners, with a paper towel. Do not use salted fats such as butter or margarine.
Preheat grill for 15 minutes; place grates in grill. Turn burners to Low with lid closed. Allow grill to heat grates for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Turn all burners to OFF, and leave cooking grates in grill until they are cool.
Your cast iron cooking grates are now ready to use.
To Prevent Rusting:
Re-season your grates frequently, particularly when new.
If rust occurs, it is an indication that the grates have not been seasoned enough or the seasoning has been burned off. Clean with a heavy brush like Char-Broil's Brush Hawg. Reapply vegetable shortening and heat as indicated above to re-season the grates.
Do not do a burn-off after you grill, but rather leave the cooking residues on the grates to keep a protective coating on the cast iron. Do a burn-off just before you grill. The more you use your cast iron grates, the easier the maintenance will be.
Store in a dry place. If you store your grates for an extended period of time, grease very lightly with vegetable shortening, then wipe dry with a paper towel.
*Porcelain-coated Cast Iron
Porcelain Cast Iron Grates included with some Char-Broil grill models, like RED, do not require seasoning. These grates should be cleaned regularly with a heavy-duty grill brush, such as the Brush Hawg or Mega Brush Hawg. You can also soak the grates in a mixture of water and vinegar for a deep clean. Should your grates develop any rust spots brush away the rust and season the grates according to the instructions above.

FLASHBACK: Paul McCartney & Wings Play Final Show
Saturday, December 29, 2012
It was 33 years ago tonight (December 29th, 1979) that Paul McCartney & Wings gave their final live performance. McCartney, who had formed the band in 1971, had seen the group go through several incarnations -- running through three guitarists and four drummers in only seven years. The main nucleus of the band, McCartney, wife Linda and Denny Laine, were the group's only constant members. The final 1979 line-up featured guitarist Lawrence Juber and drummer Steve Holley.
Their final show, which was the closing spot on the three-night Concerts For The People Of Kampuchea UNICEF benefits at London's Hammersmith Odeon, featured Wings' normal two hour set, before being joined by the Who's Pete Townshend and Kenny Jones, Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant, John Bonham and John Paul Jones, along with Ronnie Lane, James Honeyman-Scott of the Pretenders, Bruce Thomas of the Attractions, Procol Harum's Gary Brooker, and Dave Edmunds, for a three-song "Rockestra" performance.
The mini-set, which featured all the musicians in gold lame tails and top hats, included nearly 40 musicians tearing through Little Richard's "Lucille," the Beatles' "Let It Be," and two run-throughs of McCartney's "Rockestra Theme," which was released earlier that year, featuring many of the same musicians, on Wings' Back To The Egg album. The tune went on to snag the Grammy for that year's "Best Rock Instrumental Performance."
The Kampuchea benefit, which McCartney organized, came on the heels of Wings' recent UK tour -- which was to be the first leg of a world tour that was due to hit Japan in January. McCartney's subsequent pot bust upon landing in Tokyo on January 16th, 1980 and eventual ten-day incarceration forced McCartney to not only cancel the Japan dates, but scrap the entire tour due to visa problems, losing millions of dollars.
Wings re-grouped twice in 1980 -- in July and again in October -- to work on new McCartney material for his Tug Of War album. According to legend, when McCartney reunited with George Martin, the Beatles' legendary producer informed him, in no uncertain terms, he wouldn't produce anything but a solo McCartney effort.
After John Lennon's murder on December 8th, 1980, McCartney decided to put any live appearances on hold indefinitely. In March 1981, selections from Wings' final show were included on the live Concerts For The People Of Kampuchea album. Wings was quietly disbanded a month later, in April 1981.
Back in 2001 McCartney released his Wingspan documentary chronicling the group's career. As he replayed the band's time together, he said that Wings was first and foremost a lesson in overcoming the impossible: "The great thing about this story is it's got a lot of human drama because it was a struggle trying to put it together after the Beatles. I mean, the Beatles career itself was a struggle, but then having reached those heights, to try and do it over and at the same time bring up a, a young family was quite an interesting human interest story. And that comes over."
Although Denny Laine was the sole co-founder of the group to weather all of Wings' lineups, he told us that McCartney tended to keep the band's decisions pretty close to the hip: "Y'know, you've got to remember that I wasn't really involved in that -- it was Paul's baby, really. I just kind of turned up for work, and I had ideas obviously, but as far the administration and record company discussions, I wasn't a part of any of that."
Laine's recent live shows have featured a smattering of Wings hits. He says that he thought McCartney's early '90s band was a good fit, but he's not thrilled with McCartney's latest group of sidemen: "I'm not so wild about the one he's got now to be honest with you. Because it doesn't rock. It's all about Paul now. Like, that's the thing about being in a band, when you start working and doing a lot of live dates and a lot of recording, you become a band. It doesn't matter how famous one of the members are, you just become a band. Well now, it doesn't sound like a band, it sounds like Paul doing his stuff with backing musicians."
In December 2007, McCartney and Laine, who have been estranged since 1981, were photographed backstage at a UB40 concert in London.
Footage from Wings' final performance at London's Hammersmith Odeon on December 29th, 1979 was featured in the DVD's included in the 2011 deluxe reissues of the McCartney and McCartney II albums.

He is referring to the uncompressed nature of the overview. IF you choose to use a pointer for navigation (that is a legitimate way to use the shell, and for some, it is the only way they CAN use the computer) it is an inarguably harder task to do so in GS. Harder meaning it takes longer and you have to look more carefully. I'll explain more about that later.I didn't really get that one. What do you mean? Can you give a (valid) use case? I rarely use my mouse to control the gnome shell.
I agree with you on that. Luckily - for both of us - it doesn't. I'm able to start Firefox just by hitting the Activities-key (Windows-Key, but reconfigured here for Win+Space, I was a happy user of "Do") and typing F. Maybe your counting skills went wild, the above figures seem to be imprecise.
Obviously he was being hyperbolic but his point is accurate. If you use a mouse you need to cover a lot more area. Now part of the justification for this is bigger targets==easier to hit. That is true, but if you can't tell WHICH window you want to go to (again, only using the mouse) it becomes a good bit harder. Also the giant icons list is simply terrible. It's terrible on ANY smart phone and it's bad on a desktop. You need 2 things: 1)most used icons on top (NOT the side; it seems inconsistent to have that dock only appear on overview, not be exclusively filled with running icons, and not automatically populated with most used apps--- I pretty much never use it b/c I forget about it---it is simply a bit of a mishmash of ideas, IMHO), 2)most used apps area somewhere in the middle top of the screen (this is based on how most people examine things so we can't really do much about positioning here...which makes it even stranger why they chose to put that icon strip on the side---again it really seems like an afterthought, or something).
I agree with you on having an easily accessible list of open programmes is nice. The developers of gnome shell though so as well - that's why there's Alt + Tab and Alt + "Key above tab".
Again, that is not very pointer friendly. You seem like you use the keyboard mostly to navigate. I do the same, but try to use just the mouse for navigation for a day or so while actually working. I would be amazed if you didn't come away a bit agitated, but I've been amazed before
I think they call it "overlay mode". No clicks required by the way (you know, Windows-Key). In case you are using a fairly modern mouse you might be able to resize those preview windows (referred to as "microscopic overview" by you) by moving the scroll wheel up. Scrolling down will make them smaller again.
Overlay IS one of the great features in Gnome but, in its current form, it's a bit useless. The windows are hard to distinguish when you have a few apps open (this is why the devs, FROM DAY 1, should've composited the app icon on each window...I believe there is movement to fix this but it should've always been this way). You CAN use the scroll wheel IF: 1)you have one, 2)you know that the scroll wheel will do something. A failing of GS designers has been an inconsistent view on what we should assume a mouse can do. First the system area doesn't distinguish between left/right/middle clicks (that's fine b/c that seems to be something that more desktops are doing...actually, is KDE doing that already?). In overview, there is no differentiation between left/right/middle click, BUT you can use the scroll wheel in two places, 1)in the apps list, 2)when hovering over a window, however you CAN'T use the scroll wheel to move between desktops BUT you can grab a blank area on overview and fling it between desktops. In the notification area it might distinguish betweem left/right depending on the application. If they want to only allow one mouse input only allow one, but if you also want to allow scrolling (a fine idea but don't assume everyone has one so another GOOD option should present itself) use it consistently. IMHO, the proper fix for the tiny windows is to composite the icon and increase window size on hover (with a touch enabled GS you could change that to pinch-zoom easily enough, but that's evdev's problem).
I never went into a trap using Nautilus before. Maybe because I know how to use the so-called "breadcrumb navigation" below the menu-bar of every Nautilus window.
No only does said navigation strip implement a "parent directory button", there's also a "parent of parent directory button", "parent of parent of parent directory button" and even a "parent of parent of parent of parent directory button". Each of them is placed left of their successor giving you an hierarchical navigation choice.
Should your mental capabilities impair you and make it impossible for you to click on the buttons provided by that navigation element - I highly doubt that because, as you already said, I'm the "gnome-is-great 'tard" here and you are perfectly sane - you might also be able to go up one directory by pressing Alt + Up (on your keyboard, no mouse involved).
Agreed about the breadcrumb BUT I literally can't count the times nothing appears in breadcrumb area b/c the path name is too long. Does it truncate? No. It disappears. In those cases I have to go to the far right of the browser and hit the back button hoping that it takes me to an area with a shorter path name. Since gtk handles truncation rather better now, I don't know why this happening...
Also, again, you can't make a VERY common navigation method THAT much harder than the old one (referring to the lack of up-dir button).
First, GS is NOT sophisticated in this area at all. If it were I could type "browser" and get all my versions of firefox instead of just Aurora. Do you know why this is? It's b/c the devs, seriously, the DEVS (and not all of them even) don't like tracker. I don't know the history but Gnome has absolutely no serious "story" for searching other than tracker. The fact that a number don't like it is the reason why the big "Finding and Reminding" feature keeps getting pushed further into the future.I know exactly what you are talking about!
When I'm hungry and I want to order food online I search Google for "food" and clicking through all those 3.250.000.000 results until I find a nearby food-delivery restaurant is such a pain!
Luckily for both of us gnome shell is a lot more sophisticated here: When in overlay mode (important, or else every keystroke will go the the application that is currently in front!) just start typing let's say "Firefox" with "F". This will narrow down your search results to only a few - unless you have 70 concurrent versions of Firefox installed on your system of course.
Also, GS is really slow in populating its results. Thats why I use synapse for launching most things.
While this is true of some people I don't think it is true of droidhacker (I could be wrong but I don't think so). Moreover, the fact that you don't see any of his points speaks the worse for you, IMHO.The actual big problems with gnome shell are the result of a bunch of VERY poor users in terms of their mental capabilities.
Nearly every single one of your rants boils down to: I'm not able to use that damn thing because I don't know how to and I'm too stupid to find it out myself. Nevertheless, you could still get a lot of help from various generous users that actually do know how to read so that wouldn't be that big of a problem. Your actual problem is your total lack of an attitude that would make people help you.
This made you a sad troll but don't get me wrong: I'm not feeling sad for you at all. I'm actually quite happy that the developers behind that great desktop environment called Gnome don't give a shit about people calling them 'tards for no reason.
We just draw the line in different places. Im sure we both have no difficulty ignoring hardcore folks like stallman, hardcore tiling wm users, etc. They barely fitted in G2. They do not fit in vanilla G3. Meh.
Would you design a robot based on a survey of what 10000 people wanted? Good luck. It would be a camel.

Getting older can be a great experience, mentally, but it can take a toll on our physical bodies, something that is often very difficult to cope with. As the years go by, our bodies begin to deteriorate, and we start to have pain and health issues, we lose energy, and our metabolism decreases. This is due to a natural reduction in the production of human growth hormone (HGH), which is produced less and less as you get older (starting in your thirties). Luckily, there are some treatment options that help stimulate the production of HGH, which can make us feel and look younger than we actually are.
Stimulating HGH production with Sermorelin
There are several ways to help stimulate human growth hormone production, including specific diet and exercise plans, herb and nutrient supplements, or hormone-replacement therapy, or a combination of these treatments. Another option that can be very effective is an injectable hormone called Sermorelin. This drug works by stimulating the pituitary gland to release human growth hormone.
This therapy option is becoming more and more popular because it works well and is much more affordable than traditional hormone replacement therapy, and it can be used long-term by a wide range of patients. This treatment therapy can even be customized.
Benefits of Sermorelin
Some of the potential benefits of Sermorelin injections include: join and muscle pain relief, increased metabolism, better sleep habits, improved memory and mental function, more energy, hair growth, noticeable improvement of wrinkles and age spots, and even increased sex-drive. Clearly, there are many anti-aging benefits that come from this type of treatment.
Is Sermorelin the right option for you?
If you are interested in this type of treatment, talk to your doctor. It is important to inject Sermorelin only under medical supervision. Some people, for example pregnant women or anyone with a brain injury may not be able to take Sermorelin, and it can also interact with other medications, so make sure you discuss your options with your doctor.
This drug is administered through injections, usually done by a health care provider. If you are administering the drug to yourself at home, make sure you clearly follow the instructions. Also, it is important to stir (not shake) the drug and inject it immediately, and any unused medicine cannot be stored and reused. Also, if you notice any particles or discoloration in the liquid, or the vial is damaged, don't use it.
As with all medicines, Sermorelin has some possible side effects, including headache, nausea, vomiting, or a flushed face. If you have an allergic reaction (for example, rash, hives, difficulty breathing or any swelling of the face or mouth), you should seek medical attention immediately.
If you are suffering from the effects of aging, and want to look into an option such as Sermorelin injections, talk to your doctor about it. They can help you decide if this is the right therapy for you, or if another treatment is a better option. Either way, there are ways to start looking and feeling younger and better right now.

The Forcefield Pro Shirt is the ultimate all action shirt with high spec CE approved removable armour located at the elbows, shoulders and chest and now with a complete built in CE Level 2back protector. Combining moulded Nitrex Evo® technical energy absorbing material with the all new M15 armour a specialised polymer from Nitrile rubber that has been optimised to achieve low weight, flexibility and Repeat Performance Technology (RPT) ensuring protection is given even after multiple impacts. The Pro Shirts armour is removable and built into a shell made from BeCool™ a unique fibre that has a greater diffusive area than standard fibre; this ensures high levels of breathability and comfort. During exercise the unique shape of the BeCool™ fibre means it acts like a fan extracting hot and wet air away from the body and replacing it with cool and fresh air. Maximum protection and all day comfort. CE Approved to EN1621-2 (Level 2) (Back Protector) CE Approved armour to EN1621-(Level 1) (elbows, shoulder, chest) Highly Flexible & breathable Machine washable (with the armour removed) Front zip fastening Perforation panels in key areas Also available with No Back Insert for use with a Forcefield back protector
WebBikeWorld.com: "The Forcefield Pro Shirt is
comfortable and easy to wear. It includes just about all of the armor or
protection a street rider could hope for and it keeps it properly located on
your body for comfort and safety."
"Forcefield makes some of the best protection in the world
and the Pro Shirt brings it to the masses in an easy-to-use format. That's why
the Forcefield Pro Shirt gets the webBikeWorld 2012 Motorcycle Protective
Product of the Year award!
Bike Magazine: "Heres
the word on the Forcefield Pro Shirt: superb protection, good mobility, and
since we tested it, both on adventure rides and hard core off-road forays, we
found that it does a decent job of venting. The bottom line here is protection,
and this garment covers the pecks, elbows and back with some high-end
Forcefield has led the way in introducing the concept that body armour doesn't have to be hard, rigid and uncomfortable to wear. We are market leaders in soft armour technology. We design our body armour so that it is flexible, moulds to the users' body, stays in place and so comfortable that you wouldn't think about getting on your bike without wearing it. As importantly we have proven that the performance is superior to the more mainstream hard plastic protectors. Forcefield doesn't design products based on price. It designs to performance first.
Hence our slogan "PROTECTION: NO COMPROMISE"
Designed to be used either in conjunction with Forcefield Body Armour® or independently the Forcefield Climate Control range uses the latest technical materials to create the best possible technical wear available today, and like the Forcefield Body Armour® the Forcefield Climate Control quality has not been created on price but to the highest specifications.
All Forcefield Body Armour® is CE approved which is essential to maintain a credible product that has proven performance. The CE testing standards for limb and back take into account protection, comfort and ergonomic requirements. Armour that conforms to the standard is proven to reduce the incidence and severity of injuries. With authentic CE approved limb or back protectors the end user at least knows that extensive research and testing has gone into the development of the product and that it has been accredited by an authorised body. It has a value! It's not just the manufacturer making claims that cannot be substantiated. End users should research and feel free to ask about an individual products performance.
We know with fake and non approved CE protectors that almost without exception the product has no capability to protect; it's effectively useless and could mislead the end user into believing that they have a protective product. No reputable company should sell non conforming products where a standard protecting the consumers exists.
The standards relevant to the motorcycle protectors make reference to impact energy of 50 joules. This is the amount of energy that strikes the protector when tested in a laboratory. The best analogy is it is like an average house brick weighing 2.5 kilos being dropped from 2 metres height.
A KiloNewton is a measure of the amount of TRANSMITTED FORCE that enters the body following an impact. It is the amount of transmitted force that enters the body results of which can determine the severity of the injury when receiving a direct blow.
NITREX Evo® is the family name for the PVC Nitrile materials used within Forcefield Body Armour®. Almost without exception every Forcefield Body Armour® product is made using a triangular grid material that we call Moulded NITREX Evo®.
This is made of interconnecting walls where the width of the wall at the base is always wider than at the top. This is triangular in shape and these walls all interconnect which means that the material is structurally solid and sound.
It isn't just down to the design. It's as much down to the NITREX Evo formula which is a shock absorption material with outstanding performance characteristics. Its light, its elastic, it has a slow recovery and is robust.
Poor materials when impacted will compress too much allowing too much energy to pass through; it's what we call "bottoming out". It bottoms out without doing its job and is effectively useless!
You could say a very hard material when impacted wont compress so this would be good! But this isn't the case either as they will transmit energy directly through and not absorb any energy at all. So you get materials that are too soft and too hard.
The ideal material is one that on impact compresses to a degree but then slowly returns to its original shape and size. This means that you are maximising the length of time so that as much energy can be absorbed.
So on impact what you are trying to do is delay as long as possible the moment of peak transmitted force. This force is what does the damage to the body. So the better the material the longer this moment is delayed. The time is measured in milliseconds. NITREX Evo® slows the moment of peak transmitted force and spreads the damaging forces over the whole surface which means that the material is used to its maximum.
BeCool™ is a unique polyamide fibre that has a greater diffusive area than standard fibre, this ensures high levels of breathability and comfort. A four channelled thread gives up to 3 times greater surface area than cotton, which allows it to act like a fan forcing the skins hot and humid air towards the outer layer of the fabric while allowing cool and dry air to circulate from the outside in to the surface of the skin.
Nexton/Nylair is a hollow polyamide fibre with excellent thermal properties. The hollow fibre not only reduces the weight but allows air to become trapped therefore further enhancing its insulation properties. Nylair is capable of keeping the wearer warm with one third less weight creating a garment that is non bulky but exceedingly breathable and thermally responsive.
Cordura® fabric is a lightweight fabric that combines high abrasion resistance with rugged durability, great strength and exceptional tear and scuff resistance. Offering exceptional strength to weight ratio Cordura® compliments the NITREX Evo® armour in it is combined with in Forcefield Body Armour® by creating a further protective skin.

I'm not convinced colon is better anyways.
It's not a downgrade. Colon has rarely played in the past two years because of injury. If he's not on the freakin' field, it doesn't matter if he's an all pro (which of course, he's not). To contribute, you need to play.
What would you prefer? We pay a player that rarely contributes 5.5 mil because he MIGHT be an upgrade?

Postponement and Avoidance, At Our Age!
From the book "The Seven Stories of Love," by Marcia Millman:
"People who accept themselves do not demand perfection in others, and therefore, they don't have as much trouble making a commitment to love. But a person with low self-esteem who can't face his own insecurities often projects his self-hatred onto other people and constantly focuses on the other person's flaws. If he could find a partner who ws flawless, he coul escape hisself-hatred by merging with that perfection, nd he may search the world for that perfection. But no one is perfect, and haating himself, he sees only flaws all around him and despises what he can't bear to see in himself. No one is ever good enough for such a person, and he cruelly reminds them of how they fall short. For these people, it's never the right time or the right place or the right person."
Of course, I see myself in this, or I wouldn't have brought it up. Thoughts, anyone?

Fell and Fair
21. Weeks Later
"You would like Imladris, beloved. It is truly beautiful."
I lay the slightly-wilting wildflowers on her grave — ashamed to have forgotten their names, despite her frequent attempts to teach me.
Duty and sacrifice define a Dúnadan's life. Yet Ivorwen tried to help me see the beauty of bright flowers, glowing sunsets, and bare landscapes.
But I had eyes only for her beauty. My stubbornness exasperated her; often she teased me for it. Memories of her laughter warm my heart still.
Gilraen is so much like her mother... better that Ivorwen did not live to watch us spirit her away forever.
"Elladan and Elrohir brought bitter tidings today. To protect Aragorn, Elrond bids us not to visit Imladris or reveal our family ties.
"Even his own proud name must be forsaken: he is called Estel now.
"They assure me Elrond acts as father to our grandson, giving him the care and guidance he needs — but it is not the same. Our daughter dwells among strangers, and I cannot go to comfort her."
I brush aside the dried leaves drifting across Ivorwen's grave.
"Our people have ever been bound by duty and sacrifice... but it is family that has helped us endure."

When used with most power tools and shop vacuums, the Dust Right® Separator captures sawdust, wood chips, and other debris before it enters your vacuum, preventing the loss of suction power caused by a clogged vacuum filter. The five-caster base makes it exceptionally stable and easy to maneuver around the shop. Plus, hoses connect inside the in/out ports, preventing unintentional disconnections. Includes a 36'' flexform hose that connects the Dust Right® Separator to any vacuum with a standard 2-1/4'' ID inlet port.
- The Dust Right® Separator creates a cyclonic air flow that causes most wood dust particles and other materials that are heavier than air to separate, preventing them from being passed to the vacuum
- The vortex effect that is created prevents the loss of suction caused by prematurely clogged filters
- 10-gallon translucent bucket is easy to empty and easy to tell when it's full
- Holds twice the capacity of competitors' products

Very fine productPosted March 8, 2015
Great for the pricePosted January 26, 2015
Took about 5 minutes to put it together and was up and running. You can push the casters into the base, but an old screwdriver or something similar and a hammer makes knocking them in quick and easy.
Caught loads of shavings when planing which is great. Saves the shop vac and makes dumping the shavings easier, too. Hopefully I'll be able to start saving them all when we move and donate to Humane Society or other local animal charity (if you don't do this already, consider it if you have the room. A big 55-gallon drum full of fresh shavings from your planer might help them out and it's probably trash to most of us.)
Very happy with this collector for the price. When I can set up a more permanent shop I will look for a more permanent solution, but for a garage this is PERFECT. You won't go wrong with the purchase.

- condition
The retina is the tissue that lines the back of the eye. It sends visual signals to the brain. The macula is part of the retina. It is responsible for central vision. Macular degeneration is destruction of the macula. It causes a gradual loss of sharp, central vision. The condition is mainly a disease of aging. In rare cases, it can occur in younger people.
Macular DegenerationCopyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
There are two types of adult (or age-related) macular degeneration (AMD):
- Dry AMD—This occurs when an area of the retina becomes diseased. This leads to a slow breakdown of cells in the macula. The central vision is gradually lost. Dry AMD accounts for the majority of cases.
- Wet AMD—As dry AMD worsens, new blood vessels may begin to grow. These new blood vessels often leak blood and fluid under the macula. This can lead to permanent damage of the macular region. Wet AMD is uncommon. But, it accounts for the majority of blindness from this disease.
The cause of AMD is not known.
Generally risk increases with age. AMD is most commonly seen in the white population and in senior citizens. Other factors that may increase your chance of getting AMD include:
- Family members with AMD
- Smoking
- Heavy alcohol use
- Excessive exposure to sunlight
- Cardiovascular risks, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol
In some people, AMD advances very slowly. It has little effect on their vision. In others, the disease progresses faster. It may lead to significant vision loss. Neither dry AMD nor wet AMD causes pain.
Symptoms may include:
- Blurred vision
- Difficulty seeing details in front of you, such as faces or words in a book
- Blurred vision that goes away in brighter light
- A small, but growing blind spot in the middle of your field of vision
- Straight lines (such as door frames) appear crooked or distorted
- diagnosis
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor may suspect AMD if you are older and have had recent changes in your central vision. A specialist will look for signs of the disease. The doctor will use eye drops to dilate (enlarge) your pupils. This will allow a view of the back of the eye.
You may also be asked to view an Amsler grid. This is a pattern that looks like a checkerboard. Changes in your central vision will cause the grid to appear distorted. This is a sign of AMD.
- treatment
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment options for you. Options may include:Dry AMD
Research has suggested certain high-dose vitamins and minerals may slow the progression of the disease in some people.Wet AMDLaser Photocoagulation
This procedure is used in some cases of wet AMD. A strong laser light beam is aimed at the new blood vessels. The beam destroys the vessels. It usually takes less than 30 minutes to complete. You may need more laser treatments. This treatment is used less often since the development of newer treatments.Photodynamic Therapy
This procedure is a type of treatment that involves injecting a light-sensitive dye into your blood. The affected areas in the back of the eye are then hit with a special laser light. The light activates the dye to destroy certain blood vessels. It also takes less than 30 minutes. You may need to have additional treatments.Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Inhibitor
Another way to treat wet AMD is an injection of a special medication. It is called a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor. The medicine is injected into the vitreous (fluid) in the back of the eye. It usually needs to be repeated multiple times.
- prevention
There are no current guidelines to prevent AMD. For overall eye health:
- Have regular eye exams. The exams should include dilation to closely look at the retina.
- If you smoke, talk with your doctor about how you can quit.
- Eat a healthy diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables.
- Consider omega-3 fatty acid supplements.

Health workers sharpen their skills in Disaster Management
ST. GEORGE'S, GRENADA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2010. Health workers at various levels and other private healthcare services providers in Grenada continue to harness and sharpen their health disaster management skills on how they can save lives in times of emergencies and disasters.
The local healthcare providers are participating in a three-day workshop on Introduction to Health Disaster Risk Management, with a focus on protecting the public's health during disasters.
The main facilitator of the workshop is Paul Saunders, a prominent Disaster Risk Management consultant in Jamaica. He was contracted by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). The co-facilitators are Dr. Eric Freixa and Nicole Wynter from the PAHO sub-regional office in Barbados.
All three facilitators highlighted the importance of assessing and understanding disaster risk, as well as the nature and scope of the disaster before springing into action.
According to Saunders although some situations may require immediate action, being personally aware of the situation and having a clearly detailed response plan, is fundamentally important.
The three officials cautioned that it is significantly important for personnel to know and understand the various terms and acronyms widely used in the field of disaster risk management.
Saunders, who has many years of experience in the field of disaster risk management, also commended the Minster for Health, Sen. Ann Peters, and the PAHO country program manager in Grenada Tessa Stroude for their show of support to the participants.
He said the presence of the Minster at the workshop is testimony to the policy direction and political will to support the initiative and process. Throughout the workshop participants were fully engaged in the process and discovered new ways in which the disaster risk management process can be beneficial to them as individuals, their families, friends and others they served.
The three day workshop, which began on Monday in St. George's, wrapped up with an overview of the Health Disaster Plan for Grenada, a simulation exercise and an assessment of the three-day exercise.
The workshop was implemented in collaboration with PAHO, as part of the CIDA funded project to mainstream health disaster risk reduction in the health sector of CARICOM Member States.

Pie contest serves it up by the slice
Monday, September 23, 2013
MILTON — Pie making is truly an art form. Bakers craft a pie that has just the right crust, filling consistency, blend of flavors, and presentation.
"It's got to taste good," said pie contest judge Dana Silas Moos, author of The Art of Breakfast and soon-to-be instructor at Stonewall Kitchens in York, Maine. "And getting the right combination and making a pie taste good is an art."
"There are three elements to a pie: the crust, the filling, and the top," said Eryn Epicurious, restaurant and food reviewer and returning pie contest judge. "The top can't be overcooked, the crust not too soggy, and the filling can't be too runny. It is not easy to do all three."
Pie contest judge and State Representative John Mullen agreed. "I look at the crust, the filling, how it comes out of the pie plate, but it all comes down to how it tastes."
"I put on my objective hat," said pie contest judge and NH Farm Museum board member Steve Comeau, regarding the tough job of deciding. "They are all so different."
While the amateur pies were judged, visitors roamed under a big white tent, each with a plastic fork and a big smile, and sampled over 30 pies, twice the amount of last year, donated by the local bakeries: Beaver Pond Farm of Newport, DeMerritt Hill Farm of Lee, Fogarty's Restaurant and Bakery of South Berwick, Maine, Johnson's Marketplace of New Durham, Lemon Tree Pastries and Desserts of Washington, Pie in the Sky Bakery of Cape Neddick, Maine, Stonehouse Baking Co. of Barrington, Town Line Pizzeria and Bakery of Rochester, Violette's Supermarket of Newport, and Watts' New? Bakery of Newport.
"It is great to be here," added Chris Kempton. "Great that the rain moved out."
Second place went to DeMerchant's friend and neighbor, Emma Bliss, who encouraged DeMerchant to enter. Bliss learned about the contest Saturday when she stopped by the NH Farm Museum after picking apples at McKenzie's Farm, which became the main ingredient in both their pies.

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past several months, you know the story of the Mayan calendar and how it is said to predict the end of the world as we know it on December 21, 2012. Hence, the countdown has begun.
T-minus one year and counting.

I usually remain silent when I hear someone cluck "I'm all finished with my Christmas shopping."
It especially grates on my nerves when I hear this uttered about September or so. Some who say such seem to do so with an air of "I'm so perfect that I can't imagine doing it any other way."
To my ears, they speak with foreign tongue.
I have a friend who sometimes completes her shopping as early as July. It's amazing that we've had enough in common to remain friends for 35 years.

Every once in a while my son will holler, ŌĆ£Dad, why is the Internet so slow? IŌĆÖm only about 25 (megabits per second.)ŌĆØ I know thatŌĆÖs a bunch of hogwash because we have fiber-optic-based Verizon FIOS and we pay a pretty penny for 75/35 (megs per second up and down, respectively) and unless thereŌĆÖs something really wrong it seldom deviates more that 10 percent ŌĆō if that.
I'm old enough to remember when a doll was a doll.
That's it. It was a doll and nothing else. Period.
I had lots of dolls that didn't do anything but exist. They had no switches or strings or other devices to make them do things.
To make them wonderful, it took only one thing: Imagination.
And I had plenty of that.
My dolls became stowaways on ships, stars in movies, heiresses to great fortunes, investigators who were at the center of international plots. You name it; I could work them into a plot.

I stood outside in the cold. Waiting. The sun had slipped behind the mountains and the wind blew through the valley, taking with it what little warmth remained. The snow that fell the day before had melted slightly and was now a frozen winter blanket on the concrete outside the theater. It was Christmas and we had come to see the Nativity Story.

Recently, a church in Little Rock has had to reschedule its production
of the children's Christmas play, ŌĆ£Merry Christmas, Charlie BrownŌĆØ due
to a bunch of controversy over some elementary school teachers' offer
to take kids to see the play on a school day.
Apparently, some atheists in the community believe the teachers at
this school have stepped over the line separating church and state.
According to a news report, the controversy started when a parent
expressed her concern to the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers, stating
I was raised from the time I was about 11 years of age by my grandparents and back in those days most folks had one television. Ours was in my grandparentŌĆÖs bedroom and I can tell you that young Dave had very little influence over what we watched in the evenings.
Rules were relaxed in the afternoon after school and Saturdays, of course, but that was it. If I wanted to see TV, we watched what Mamma wanted and that included ŌĆ£Perry MasonŌĆØ, ŌĆ£Wagon TrainŌĆØ, ŌĆ£DragnetŌĆØ, ŌĆ£Have Gun will TravelŌĆØ and what I considered the MOST boring ŌĆō ŌĆ£Hallmark Hall of Fame.ŌĆØ (grin).

With the holidays fast approaching, thoughts turn to home. Memories are rekindled of freshly baked yeast rolls, chocolate pie, and a warm crackling fireplace that welcomed family together as laughter filled the house.
A twinge of sadness overwhelms me this holiday season, however, as this will be the first Christmas without any of my siblings. My emotions have been very fragile the past few months, since the unexpected death of my oldest brother, which left me the lone survivor of the Fox family that was started on May 6, 1933.

Miss Li in her own words:
Through the years (sounds like I'm really old=) I've been singing opera, musical, jazz, soul, pop, electro, blues, rock and even heavy-metal. The Miss Li music has become a combination of all those genres. I put a little bit of this and a little bit of that to make it sound like one. I haven't got any rules that I want to follow or pattern which I want to fit into. And to be honest, I don't care what I sound like as long as it's fun! And the day it isn't fun, I'll quit. I just want to put a smile on people's faces and hopefully give you guys a little inspiration to live and to do creative things in your lives! Well... I've got to stop this grown up talk now and just let you experience my music! Ciao.
Teddybears started off as a grindcore group in 1991, but has constantly brought surprising new turns to the Swedish music scene by reinventing themselves and mixing genres. The 2006 album Soft Machine is in itself a mash up of styles, touching on garage punk beats, electro, dancehall and krautrock and it also features a diverse list of guest vocalists, including Iggy Pop.
Petter in his own words:
Successes and setbacks, mistakes and smart moves. I'm proud of everything I've done as an artist since my debut in 1998. And when I dropped out of school so I could concentrate on being a professional musician, I didn't dare to dream that I might still be here today. But I am. A little bit better, a little bit sharper, but still the same Petter

What an EMT Does
EMTs respond to a variety of mishaps to include automobile accidents, gunshot wounds, drowning, heart attacks, and the list goes on. The primary duty of an EMT is to give emergency care to a person who has suffered a mishap before taking them to the hospital. This first requires assessing the mishap that the victim has suffered or is suffering from. Then, the EMT takes the prescribed first actions or seeks advice from the medical staff at the hospital as to what needs to be done to stabilize the victim. Once they get the victim stabilized their other tasks include:
- Giving any emergency treatment
- Coordinate with police and firefighters when necessary
- Immobilizing the victim to prevent further injury (if necessary)
- Transporting the victim to the hospital
- Communicating with medical staff and the dispatcher at the hospital for advisement on the victim's condition while en route
- Comforting the victim while en route to the hospital
Emergency treatment could be CPR which all EMTs are required to be trained in. Other forms of emergency treatment can include techniques to stop the bleeding, clear the victim's airway, or revive a victim whose heart has stopped.
The Workplace
Most EMTs don't work for hospitals at all. They work for ambulance services. In fact, if you have ever been transported in an ambulance you will oftentimes get a separate bill from the treatment bill at the hospital facility.
Their daily work in metropolitan areas can take them anywhere and in all types of weather conditions and at all hours. Such is the nature of emergencies. The job also presents a higher than usual risk of injury because of victims with contagious diseases or who are belligerent and violent.
Education and Certification
The first requirement to becoming an EMT is to complete a state-approved training program. A prerequisite to entering this program is to complete training in CPR and be certified in it. This formal training program can be taken at a technical, vocational, or community college.
Training programs are taken by students at three levels: EMT-Basic, EMT-Advanced, and Paramedic. The EMT Advanced course is sometimes referred to as the EMT-Intermediate 1985 or EMT-Intermediate 1999 course. Nonetheless, there are two levels and paramedics are the ones who have completed both.
EMT training at the basic level teaches the basics such as assessment of the victim's condition, clearing airways, and using EMT equipment. The program is for 100 hours.
EMT training at the intermediate/advanced level is a 1,000-hour program of study and covers advanced topics such as administering certain types of medication and IV fluids.
Paramedic training, in addition to the two levels of EMT training, requires that the student learn medical skills that are more advanced in nature. These advanced skills might include learning how to administer IVs or put first stitches in wounds.
All EMTs must be certified which means passing the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians exam. The exam has two parts--a written and hands-on. Licensure is required in every state however specific requirements may vary. Nonetheless, all states require certification before licensure.
