CDC study shows spike in prescription painkiller deaths among women
SALT LAKE CITY — Women are dying in increasing numbers from something prescribed by their doctors, a new study shows.
Roughly 18 women die each day from overdosing on prescription painkillers, which accounted for 6,600 deaths in 2010, according to data released Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
More men die annually (10,000) from prescription painkiller doses than women, but the percentage of deaths among women is rising more dramatically, the CDC reported. Between 1999 and 2010, there was a 400 percent increase in women's prescription painkiller deaths, compared with a 265 percent increase among men.
Women are more likely than men to suffer from chronic diseases, be prescribed prescription pain medication, use the medication for long periods of time and become dependent, the CDC reported.
"It just supports what we've been seeing," said Dr. Scott Erickson, medical director for the New Vision medical stabilization center at Lake View Hospital in Bountiful. "It's an epidemic here in Utah. It's an epidemic here in the United States."
Roughly 23 Utahns die monthly from prescription opioid abuse, according to the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health 2012 annual report. The number of pain medication overdoses statewide has grown more than 400 percent since 2000, which is similar to the CDC data for women in a similar time period.
Many people assume that because they received a prescription from their doctors, they are OK to keep using the drug. However, Erickson said, painkillers are "a few molecules away from heroin" and affect the same pain receptors.
While prescription painkillers are appropriate for short-term, intense pain, Erickson said he is not aware of any study that shows them to be more effective than ibuprofen for long-term treatment. In addition, people become dependent on opiates and may face withdrawal symptoms, he said.
Called opioid-induced hyperalgesia, the opiate receptors actually become "hypersensitized to pain," Erickson said. It may take someone anywhere from four to seven days to get over the initial pain, but take six to 18 months for the opiate receptors to get back to normal, he said.
Within the first month or two, many people begin to see that their pain was not as bad as they had initially thought, Erickson said. They become more alert and begin thinking more clearly.
The New Vision center assists those looking to recover from painkiller addiction, including a three- to five-day inpatient program and additional support to help with the transition off pain killers. This includes a monthly injection of Vivitrol, a medication that blocks the effects of opiate medications and helps prevent relapse.
As addictive as these medications can be, Erickson said, change is possible.
"People need to know that there is hope," he said. "There's so many people that are trapped because they get hooked on the pain medicines and they can't get off of them because of these withdrawal symptoms, and so they just stay on these pain medicines knowing that they are controlling their lives.
"And people need to know that there is help, that we can get them off of them in a safe way and then use several different treatment options to help them stay off of them," Erickson said.

Mayors for Freedom to Marry official launched their campaign today during the United States Conference of Mayors meeting.
The group released this statement:
In affirmation of the critical role that cities and their mayors have played in advancing civil rights and equal treatment for all Americans, we are proud to be chairs of Mayors for the Freedom to Marry. Mayors for the Freedom to Marry is a broad-based and nonpartisan group of mayors who believe that all people should be able to share in the love and commitment of marriage.
As mayors of three of America's great cities, we understand that the strength and health of our cities are enhanced when all families are protected and supported. We know many people in loving and committed same-sex relationships who are active participants in improving our communities and we've seen how important marriage has been for them and their families.
We are honored to lead this bipartisan group of mayors who support ending marriage discrimination at all levels of government. While we will each have different strategies for pursuing that end, we all agree on the goal: securing the freedom to marry and upholding equal rights for all citizens.
We are a diverse group of mayors—from small cities in Indiana and Maine, to the four largest cities in America. Our cities are culturally, racially and geographically diverse, but we share one important value: a common commitment to fairness.
We invite our colleagues to join us in signing this statement as we advocate for the freedom to marry and build a nation where all loving couples who want to make the life-long commitment can share in the joy and respect of marriage.
I think this is wonderful, and I am so happy that Chicago's mayor signed on. If your mayor did not sign up, encourage them to do so.

In the October issue of Kodansha's Afternoon magazine, there was an announcment from Riichi Ueshiba that Mysterious Girlfriend X will end on September 25.
For those who are new to Mysterious Girlfriend X, here is a summary written by our wiki editors in Anime Vice:
Akira Tsubaki was just living his normal school life until a strange girl named Mikoto Urabe transfers into his class. One day, without thinking, he tastes the drool left behind on her desk at school and becomes ill the next day. Urabe pays Tsubaki a visit at home, and using the same drool he tasted before, seemingly cures him. Urabe tells him that it was love sickness and that he has fallen for Urabe, and has become dependent on her drool. From then on, the two start to form a bond, discovering that their drool can transmit feelings and other things between them. Tsubaki soon finds himself with a very mysterious girlfriend.
Check out the Mysterious Girlfriend X Discussion.

What Is Wrong With My Pecans
They look good on the outside but are dried out on the inside.
Likely one or a combination of two things:
As devon mentioned, the growing season was delayed by two weeks. This influenced pecans in two ways that could have caused those low-quality kernels.
First, most kernels were in the "filling" stage somewhere between Sept 1 and Oct 20 this year instead of the normal Aug 15 to Oct 10. If there was no moisture available during some of this period, the kernels could end up looking like that. For this year our moisture here ended Aug 10 or so and there was zero more until the end of Sept so the trees that are late maturing had no moisture available (unless the soil was very deep and good) for a few weeks in late September. This still is not always a big problem unless the tree has a large crop to fill or if the soil doesn't hold much moisture.
Secondly, the late maturing nuts (like some of the more southern papershells like Choctaw, Stuart, Maramec, etc.) ran out of warm days and sunshine to complete the filling process before the trees started going dormant. My Maramec trees looked like those kernels for this reason. I would have thought that since we did not have a freeze until November that even my late cultivars would still be able to fill out but the ones that had large crops and needed long growing seasons still didn't complete the process.
This is still just an overall guide though and there are some other things that have a small chance of having contributed. Sometimes trees that do NOT have big crops or that do NOT have large nuts can still fill out the kernels well even when the weather is dry or the season is delayed. The bigger the nuts and bigger the crop and the longer season needed by a specific cultivar or native tree all causes more risk of the nuts being poor in quality like those.
Like I said, my Maramecs and a couple others that had large crops or not very deep soil looked exactly like that.
How large is the tree and how large was the crop on it?
Was there anything else unusual about the nuts? Were the shucks on tight on many of them when you found them? Did the same tree produce nuts that varied a lot in size and somewhat in shape?
Do you have an estimate of how many pecans were on the tree? A tree that size is capable of a 200lb crop under good conditions, but 100 lbs would be a decent crop. A 5 gallon bucket of nuts could weigh from 20 to 25 lbs.
A tree that size with a large crop would need a few thousand gallons of water throughout the rooting area available during the filling process to satisfy the tree and nut requirements.
The odd-shape ones are often due to pecan scab disease, but this usually makes the nuts smaller than normal and yours look good sized. Other diseases in late summer also could cause poor quality due t shuck problems or early defoliation combined with a big crop and late maturity.

Agree, RiffRaff! Where are those new Republicans we hired in November to impeach obama before he totally turns America into a 3rd World country?
In response to:
APZZYK- Do you know what would save Texas even more money? Deport every illegal alien per our immigration laws! Not to mention Americans' safety from all the Illegal Alien CRIMINALS.
In response to:
Yes, our President was in the military and he would surely have jumped in to save an American! ... oh um um... Oh wait! I had drifted off and was dreaming about the day when we get a REAL LEADER. It's like a reoccurring nightmare. You wake up & obama is still prez. Sorry if I got anyone excited.
Dan107 - Doesn't surprise me. I quit buying NYT years ago when I realized they were just a mouthpiece for the Looney Left. No different from the alphabet soup channels we no longer watch for the same reason. They forget that 1/2 this country is comprised of Conservatives and no matter how much brain-washing & propaganda they spew we will NOT become Socialists or Communists!
BTW, George W's spending in 2008 was to counter act the collapse thanks to Barney Frank & his Democrat Socialist buddies. President Bush had warned Barney & Friends 34 times between 2001 - 2007, and wanted to appoint a special committee to investigate Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae. Barney & Friends said it was doing very well & refused to take any action on a special committee. Thanks, Barney, you nitwit!
PROSPERITY? WHAT PROSPERITY? My 2 gown children are both working a full time job + a part-time job to keep up with rising taxes, inflation & other rising costs! Obama's ilk probably counts them as 4 employed people. You know, to keep that Unemployment figure low. My business has declined about 75% in the past 4 years. I came up with a Get-Rich-Quick scheme, though. I'm going to become a politician. When they leave office they are all gazillionaires! I can hire my 2 grown kids as aides and they can live in the lap of luxury, too, jet-setting all over the world on the pretense of "seeking opportunities" for our state or country. Anybody else out there feeling the "pain" of prosperity? Just think, if everyone became a politician we could suck the lobbyists dry, along with our state & U.S. Treasuries. Obama & Moochie figured it out a long time ago.
Only a fool would vote for any member of the Democrat Socialist Party in 2016.... only a fool.
Zak8 - Your 1, 2 Bush statement makes you appear to be a Liberal troll.
No wonder your vote doesn't count, you're voting Libertarian. In other words, you are voting Democrat, and don't EVEN try to justify your actions.
In 2016 we need a Conservative House, Senate & WH to clean up the damn mess left behind in the wake of the Socialist DemonRat Tax & Squander party.... and it's time for their Tax & Squander PARTY to be over. Who voted for those self-serving Socialists anyway?

In part two of our three-part series on space-saving and organizing solutions for your kitchen, we scoured the market for some of the most innovative and compact appliances that will not only save you bucco space but also will increase the functionality of your kitchen immensely.
Beam Me Up, Scotty
Available locally through Construction Appliance and Autco Home, Gaggenau's sleek and stainless Lift Oven is a revelation in cooking convenience and ideal for smaller kitchens. With a simple push of a button the oven's glass base will lower to your countertop for easy loading and unloading. No more hefting of dense casserole dishes or oven burns, and since heat rises, minimal energy is lost when operating the lift.
Caffeine Fix
If you're like me and possess miniscule counter space, coupled with a deep and abiding addiction to coffee, your coffeemaker or espresso machine dominates optimal real estate. Consider installing a built-in coffee station in what would otherwise be zero-functioning backsplash space. Built-in models from the likes of Miele and Brew Express are available through most local appliance dealers. Or, skip the hassle of installation and score this super slim, more budget-friendly space-saving machine by Dutch manufacturer Inventum.
Induction On-the-Go
Induction cooktops are all the rage at the moment, and rightly so. Efficient, safe, even-cooking and easy to clean-induction cooktops are a wonder in the kitchen. However, if you lack the space or budget to install an induction cooktop, appliance manufacturer Fagor offers a portable induction burner that provides all the magic of this celebrated cooking surface without the super high-end price tag or monopoly on space.
Two Appliances in One
It may seem too good to be true, but you can consolidate your microwave and convection oven into one, multidimensional appliance-opening up room for more cabinetry and prime storage space without sacrificing quality. Most appliance manufacturers, like Electrolux, Miele, Wolf, Dacor and many others offer convection microwaves. The GE Profile Advantium does not require preheating, roasts, grills, and bakes more quickly than your conventional oven and microwaves beautifully.

Senior Project- Need Help- Chemical Engineer!
Hi All,
This is my first post. Thank you for reading. I am tasked with designing a 1 ft by 1 ft container that is to grow vegetables on top of our school parking garage for the cafeterias. Its depth can vary between 8 to 12 inches. The system should be as low maintenance as possible. That being said, I am looking to create a system that can be sustained by storing rain water only.
I am planning on using reflective tin on the sides and top of my system to reflect the suns energy away from the box, keeping the inside cool and hopefully causing less water to evaporate out of the soil (based on knowledge of thermal radiation).
PROBLEM: How do I keep as much water in the system as possible so that the one lettuce in the system always has enough water, but will not rot but also will have enough water.
SOLUTION: I am planning on using a mixture of soil and vermiculite (rather than perlite) to create a sponge like substrate that can store a lot of water. I am scared the use of vermiculite instead of perlite might cause root rot though.
1. I want to line the box (made of wood) with a plastic trash bag to prevent water from escaping. Will the trash bag rot if exposed to water for too long?
2. Is it necessary to have drain holes in any system? Is it possible to not have drain holes?
3. Should I use vermiculite or perlite?
BIG Q: If I used a soil mixture of soil and vermiculite, and used a plastic mulch and depended on rain as the only water source (roughly 2.2 gal per month) with NO drain holes at the bottom of the system, will there be root rot? Please let me know thoughts. I am on a deadline!
Thanks for your help! Its a very intricate project, but unfortunately I don't have the knowledge of gardening to complete it.
I can answer some of your questions. First of all, use a soilless mix, not soil and vermiculite. Soil is not suitable for container medium. If you want a long lasting medium, consider the gritty mix discussed in this forum. Secondly, you do need drainage. Plants do not tolerate standing water, and building a water retentive soil is not the best for plants. Air to the roots is just as important as water.
A very low maintenance system might be a rain storage cistern connected to a drip fertigation system. This is the equivalent of drain to waste hydroponic system. You can use a totally inert hydroponic medium for this, but will still require drainage. Once fine tuned, this can provide the lowest maintenance, water and fertilizer usage.
Hey Mr. Mike,
As an engineer myself, I couldn't help read your post. I don't have all the answers, but I have a few thoughts for you. First, I think that your approach has a few flaws. Your trying to store your water supply IN the soil, this will not work. You WILL rot your roots, forget about that. What you want is to store the water in a reservoir and allow the soil to wick up what it needs, when it needs it. This is refered to as a "Self Watering Container". I don't personally use them, so I will not be the best person to advise you on the composition of your soil mix, however, you can find plenty of info regarding design and configuration on this and other forums here on GW. Additionally, if you are only required to grow one head of lettuce and you have 1 cu ft of allowable volume, I suggest that you dedicate as much of that volume as possible to the water reservoir. This will keep your supply high and your demand low. As an example you could try 6"x6"x4" (lwh) soil volume above a 12"x12"x8" (lwh) water reservior. Of course, if you wish to get the most out of the container, simply expand the growing area.
The big question is your water source. If you are relying on rain water only, are you planning on collecting that via a rain barrel (or otherwise) and manualy adding it to the system when needed, or are you trying to make the system collect the water itself? The former will be the obvious choice, as the later will be extremely tricky - especially if the collection system also falls within the 1 cu ft design constraint. If the later is the case, the success of your experiment relies completely on the weather, and it would have to rain an aweful lot for a system that size to collect enough water to sustain itself. Also remember that you will need water in the system on the day you plant, so relying completely on the system itself has many drawbacks and variables. I suggest collecting your rainwater elsewhere and manually adding it when your reservior gets low. However, to suppliment your manual additions you could certainly design the system to at least collect whatever it can, when it does rain. I might suggest something that resembles one of those cones that your dog gets at the vet - placed around the centrally located soil volume with a drain to the reservoir - and square, of course, to maximize the surface area of the "collection ring" within the confines of your design criteria.
Good Luck!
To Capoman and DaMonkey007, I appreciate you taking the time to read this post. I need all the help I can get, and hope more people jump on to share their ideas.
So to recap...
Capoman says:
1)Use a soiless mix, not soil and vermiculite.
2)I absolutely need a drainage system in my growing unit.
3)Building a water retentive soil system is not the best for plants. Air to the roots is just as important as water.
Does Capoman know:
1)I must start from a seed. The seed must be planted in the system and then grow into the vegetable. Our control vegetable is lettuce, but different types of vegetables may be grown in the system.
Questions for Capoman:
1)So should the soiless mix be mixed with vermiculite? Are you suggesting a soiless mix only and totally ditching the vermiculite?
2)Why is a soil and vermiculite mix a bad idea? (i.e. nutrient depletion or some other underlying reason) Fertilizer can be added to the system at the beginning of every growing season to re-fertilize the soil.
DaMonkey 007 says:
1)Create a self watering container (SWC). I am assuming SWC is a widely accepted term for certain types of systems.
2)I should focus on storing water in reservoir, not in the soil.
Does DaMonkey007 know:
1)The growing unit is 1 cubic foot at MAX. I cannot be any other shape than a 1 cubic foot box with an exposed top. Hoewever, I am allowed a separate water delivery system that can store as much water as I would like. It can be any size, but its weight when filled with water is one parameter being looked at in this project.
That was a quick recap. So I am thinking that attempting to store the water in the growing system itself is not the best idea. However please note these following numbers...
GROWING UNIT VOLUME: 1 cubic foot (1 ft x 1 ft x 1 ft)
... This means that while empty, this unit can hold 1 cubic foot of water. When full with mix, it is dependent on the absorptivity of the mix of how much water can be stored. However the amount of water stored in the unit with mix must be less than 1 cubic foot.
AVERAGE RAIN FALL: .30 - .37 feet (For Bronx, NY)
... This means that for each month, the total possible amount of rain fall that can be collected in the unit is between .30 - .37 cubic feet.
Volume Rain Collected = Rain Fall in Feet * Surface Area in Square Feet (Surface area is 1 square foot, this is a set dimension and cannot be changed)
As per the numbers I have just provided, the empty unit should be only 33% filled at the end of one month. This is without taking into consideration the max possible water storage when soil mix is in unit, the take up of water by the vegetable and the evaporation of water from the soil.
QUESTION: After reviewing these numbers, do I really have to worry about rotting the roots due to an excess of water in the system?
If so, is it possible to create a water delivery system that feeds water directly into the soil by a wicking mechanism?
Sorry for the long post. I am still in a cloud and trying to get all the facts straight. Thank you!
C'mon Mr. Mike - this is your senior project - it's meant for you to use the grey stuff between YOUR ears...not OURS!!!
Just kidding buddy. But seriously, use the old noggin. First, your assuming that you are going to get the exact average amount of rainfall equally spaced over the month...not going to happen. You might get all that rain in 1 hour, then none for the rest of the month. Or you might get 10 times that amount, 20 times, 30 even. How would you deal with that?
First research how a SWC works so you have some basic understanding. As for the design constraints - use the cube, fine. Simply separate your growing zone from your reservior within the cube, so that you have an enclosed reservoir below the grow zone. Construct the rest of the system - wicks, overflow, fill tube. I'm not going to tell you how - that's up to you to figure out ;)
If your allowed a separate holding tank, your options are endless. A 5 gal bucket with minimum static head greater than max fill line of the reservior comes to mind. I will leave those details up to you. If you really want to impress your professor, rig the delivery system to mechanically activate when the reservior is low. I'll give you a hint...use a ball float and an actuated valve.
That being said, for the sake of seniors everywhere and untimately for your own benefit, I will offer no more advice to you, our own budding engineer. Get those creative juices flowing buddy, and GET TO WORK!
Mr. Mike,
Here's a link to Raybo's Earthtainer guide - it's a SWC that Ray's refined over a number of years. It's larger than your specification, but the concepts are the same. This document should give you a better understanding of how to achieve your objectives.
Here is a link that might be useful: Earthtainer
Here's a link to a vid on the Groasis waterboxx. They do a pretty good job of diverting rainfall into a res/wicking system, if you need some inspiration :)
Here is a link that might be useful: Youtube video
Once again, thank you for your responses.
I am doing exactly what engineers are supposed to do, utilize their resources =). I know nothing of growing within containers, but I have spent most of the day studying SWCs and have a partial understanding of them. I understand that water moves up through the system by capillary action. I appreciate you pointing me in the direction of SWC.
Here is a question for you. I plan on using something like chinese-food containers turned upside down as my reservoirs and have my soil mix reach down to the bottom of the unit between these containers. I intend the soil to act as the wick itself. I have read a little bit about some folks doing it, but I have no experience in this field and would appreciate a word of advice on whether or not that can work.
I thank you for that link. It was extremely informational. I have been hearing a lot about this individual "Raybo" on this forum. Can you tell me more about his container mix of 3-2-1? I believe that means 3 parts bark, 2 parts growing mix, and 1 part perlite. Please confirm for me. Thank you!
Thanks for that email. It is a very interesting system and I like how they have sloped the top of it to collect water. Much appreciated.
Sounds like you have a few options. I personally prefer a drip fertigation system, but a SWC will also work. Drip fertigation gives you more control, and all you need to do is fill a reservoir with nutrients so it is less maintenance, and plants love fertigation. That being said, a drip fertigation system does require a bit more cost. SWC is simpler and less costly, but will give you less control. But both require decent drainage and a reservoir to store rain so they aren't that different. I guess you'll have to decide what works best for your project. I do think though that your reservoir needs to be bigger to give you a better buffer.
About your question, I have no issue with vermiculite. It's soil in a container that I have an issue with. Soil is too water retentive and causes root rot in containers. I would consider using Tapla's 5:1:1 or gritty mix as a medium. If you go the fertigation route you can use hydroponic substrates such as pure perlite, coir, hydroton etc, although the mixes above should also work.
One thing you need to consider is evaporation from your rain water reservoir and a trick to help limit that loss is to use ping pong balls to cover the surface. The balls will let water in while reducing the evaporation rate.
Soil has been used to grow potted plants since pots were invented. For over ten years I have been growing tomatoes, strawberries, bell peppers, and some years carrots and onions in soil I dig from the yard or potting soil I get from Lowes and have never had root rot.
The container must have drain holes in the bottom. Cover the holes with a nylon shade cloth (or panty hose) then put in one layer of drainage rock. Then put in the soil. There are numerous soil mixtures you can use, but it should be loose and well draining.
You can place the container over a reservoir to collect excess water and use a wick to return it to the soil. If it is set up correctly you can add water directly to the reservoir and never add it to the soil (you can buy pots already set up that way) - just keep the reservoir full. The best wick I've found is a braided cotton wick used in kerosine lamps and you need several (maybe 5 or 6) in each container.
Can you tell me more about his container mix of 3-2-1? I believe that means 3 parts bark, 2 parts growing mix, and 1 part perlite.
It's 3 parts bagged growing mix such as ProMix, 2 parts pine bark fines (Ray specifies microbark - it's the same stuff) and 1 part perlite.
Hello All,
Thanks for all the help. Here is an update as well as more questions for you folk.
Here is my finished container. It is constructed out of .5 inch sheathing board. I am going to water proof it with the use of heavy duty plastic garbage bags. We have already designed a water proofing scheme that will keep water out even with a drainage hole drilled in the side (having a drainage hole makes water proofing with trash bags much more complicated). Does anybody have any reasons why black heavy duty garbage bags should not be used to water proof?
I would like to create a reservoir using recycled bottles like the ones seen in this next photo.
They are circular bottles. I am not going to separate the reservoir from the growing medium using any sort of divider. Rather I would like to pack my growing medium down in between the spaces between the bottles. The saturated growing medium will then act as the wick, and water will flow up through the mix itself.
I know the two are usually separated, but watch these two videos:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=3INoLKg555w (Go to 2:25)
To sum up, my questions are:
1) Can I use the soil mix packed between the bottle reservoirs as my wicking material?
2) Is it dangerous to use heavy duty plastic bags that to water proof my box? (Assume that the plastic will not be exposed to any UV rays)
They probably want you to define the aqueous throughput and the uptake of the lettuce. The material balance will reduce to an open system, with accumulation (i.e. the lettuce), without chemical reaction or heat transfer.
You would need to know the watering requirements of lettuce, the optimal spacing of lettuce and the minimum throughput of water required to prevent stagnation. Design the flow rate for the maximum uptake of properly spaced lettuce, and ensure the water is circulated enough to prevent stagnation. Then, design a collection/piping system. Verify your design using Bernoulli's, or Hazen-Williams provided there are many nodes in the pipe system. Resolve any issues.
That's all there is to it.This seems more like a weekend homework problem than a senior project.
In contrast, my senior project was a to design an entire ethylene plant, including a rigorous furnace design (radiant, conductive, and reactive heat balances, mass balances and momentum balances), quench tower sizing, compressor sizing and acid gas removal, column sizing and internals, refrigeration loops, pinch point analysis of heat exchangers, and an initial estimate of total plant costs. I had to define, size and specify the vessels and internals; the splits and recycles, the furnace tubing, pipes and burners; compressor staging and acid removal system, pump and valve sizing, cooling towers, power requirements, a layers of protection (LOPA) safety analysis, hydraulic sizing of all key flows, capital costs and proposed funding.
I would like to know more about how this project panned out. Hopefully, the project provided you an interest in gardening, which like home brewing, catalyst manufacture or cheesemaking, is an empirical science. Let me know how it went.
Calico Marty, P.E.

Storage Jars
A good product for the value. Excellent service by Overstock.com. The mid sized jar (although very adequately wrapped) came with a small crack. Overstock responded immediately and replaced. Absolutely no hassle working with them.Read More
Love these practical and pretty canisters
I live in Miami where bugs are always a problem. So I like to put just about everything in jars. These seal well and look very attractive in my cupboards. They are heavy so it can be a pain getting them off a top shelf. And sometimes the wire clasp breaks off (I just put it back on). One or two lids arrived cracked (they are ceramic). But I like these jars well enough that I have about 16 of them. So that should speak for itself.Read More

The glass is nice and thick. The clasps are kind of cheap and one was stretched so it slipped off (we fixed it with pliers). Overall a good but not an excellent product because of the clasps.Read More

Ember's actions are a powerful and usually straight-forward mechanism for handling events within an application. However, some cases can be a bit perplexing unless you've dealt with them before and wrestled with the details. Here are a few brief points and examples to help clarify Ember's action bubbling behavior in a few of those less obvious cases.

Zooming Out
If you spend much time around the offices at Atomic, you'll eventually hear someone mention the phrase "zooming out" in relation to solving a problem. I'm not 100% certain on the origin of our use of the phrase (we may have picked it up from one of our friends at IDEO or Cooper), but I've used it frequently over the past two years. And the more I use it, the broader my definition becomes. It's just so darn useful. Read more on Zooming Out…

Visualizing Project Scale, Risk, and Options
We discuss scale, risk, and different options with our customers and team members continually throughout the lifetime of a project. Having a visual representation of the conversation points can be very useful.
A well-designed visual makes it easy to identify the highs and lows, draws conversation to the most important points, and helps everyone navigate the problem landscape. It's hard to replace the way a good visual can connect with visual learners. And, as an added benefit for me, it removes the temptation to just read a slide during a presentation.
A few quick tips before we dig in:
- Color matters. I like to browse the palettes on COLOURlovers for inspiration.
- Double-check your numbers. It sucks to realize your visual is wrong in the middle of a presentation.
- It's nice if the visual is easy to update to reflect new information. Simple shapes and a straight-forward scale help that a lot.
Below are a few examples we've used recently. Read more on Visualizing Project Scale, Risk, and Options…
Worry; Don't Stress
Carl likes to talk about the worry gene culture at Atomic — our predisposition to turn worries into concrete, positive action. The converse of this behavior, inaction, can quickly lead to unresolved worries piling up. That's where stress comes in. And despite our predisposition to positive action, we all sometimes need a kickstart in the right direction.
Fortunately, many of our practices at AO already serve to guide us toward the concrete, positive actions we need. And there are other simple things I've found that help effectively spur the worry gene into action. Read more on Worry; Don't Stress…
A Month with the Atom Editor
Vim is a good friend of mine. When we met during my freshman year of college at MTU, we quickly hit it off. I never looked back with any regret at my tiny TI-85 screen, Notepad, or QBasic where I first tinkered with bending computing devices to my whims. Since then I have tried other editors, and even used a few for extended periods for a variety of reasons (e.g., Kate because of its SSHFS and KDE tie-ins, Visual Studio for its strength with all things Microsoft). Still, through it all, Vim has been my go-to editor for nearly 15 years.
I have been using Atom almost exclusively for the past month — without vim-mode. This was an intentional decision on my part. I didn't have any complaints about how Vim had been working for me prior to picking up Atom. It, along with our built-to-Atomic-tastes configuration, did great navigating the mixed mobile & web project environment I was working in. I was just feeling ready to try something different when Atom came on the scene — something that wasn't vim and didn't work like vim. Plus, I dig the name and logo. ;) I figured, at the worst, I'd return to Vim after a while with a renewed appreciation for everything that makes it, well, Vim.
So, how has it gone? Read more on A Month with the Atom Editor…
Evolution of a Burn Chart
Burn charts have been a staple of Atomic-run projects for quite a while. They've also been the subject of much discussion both internally at Atomic and at-large in the Agile development community. The basic concepts are simple, and we've found them useful — especially when they are allowed to evolve as we learn how to better engage our customers and teams. I'm going to tell a story of one such evolution.
First, if you're unfamiliar with a basic burn chart, check out Mike Marsiglia's previous post about Atomic burn charts. Got that down? Great!
I'm going to follow the story of a ficticious company, Acme, Inc., working on a custom order management system. Our burn chart experience started simply, as Mike's example illustrates: one big scope bucket (represented by the blue line), and a team of three working to realize the features represented in our backlog (represented by the green line).
Words Worth Working For
Carl Erickson wrote back in 2009 about his practice of distributing "nice words" from clients to the company at large. It is a practice that continues, and something that I personally love about working at Atomic. It lifts my spirits and makes me proud to be a part of such a highly-praised group. I know I'm not alone in my appreciation for this practice.
Nice words mean so much to all of us in part because they result from hard work. To us, these words are like a flag flying triumphantly atop a newly-constructed castle. Weeks or months of time has often gone into erecting the solid, stone walls. Thoughtful, sometimes difficult, decisions have shaped it for its intended purpose. Throughout the process we've sweated the details, pursued knowledge and empathy, and as a team brought a vision to life.
These are words worth working for. Read more on Words Worth Working For…
Ready to Disconnect on Vacation? 6 To-Dos Before Leaving the Office
Here at Atomic, we work to maintain our sustainable pace on a number of levels. I typically think of my pace on a weekly granularity because of our team's iterations, invoicing cycles, and the intervening weekend breaks. There's a rhythm in which I can feel the ebb and flow of my energy level resulting from the week's efforts and accomplishments.
Atomic encourages employees to take a consecutive week of vacation at some point during the year, and I recently took 10 days off to travel with my wife and disconnect. Having the opportunity to disrupt the rhythm, to disconnect and re-energize, is important. But it isn't always easy, especially for people who are deeply engaged with and care about their work (as we do here at AO). Here are a few things that can help make it work.

Client-side File Processing in Ember.js
My current project involves an Ember.js web application and a JSON+HAL API, and we recently wanted to let administrative users upload an XML file, sourced from a different system, to make filling out a form easier. We didn't want to upload the file to the API for processing on the server. Following is an example illustrating how we handled the file upload in our Ember.js app, and how we could make this work with a few other file formats.
1. The Upload
Let's pretend we want to make it easy to upload a list of user information into the application. I'm going to illustrate a method using a file input element for the upload interface. There are other options, like drag & drop, but this met our users' needs and was simple to implement.

text: Children's Literature - C. Dennete Michaels This story of the West Side Kids unrolls with De Vonn, the narrator, desiring a "roly-poly pup who will eat dog food on pumpernickel bread" but his Mama's response "Your sister is allergic to dogs!" puts a damper on his wish. But Mike, Katie, and Luz work to convince their parents that they are potentially responsible pet owners. The story's crisis and solution concern Lassie, a pumpkin colored cat residing in an apartment on another floor that De Vonn pet-sits. The text unobtrusively informs readers of the Kids ethnicity and economic levels typical of inner-city apartment living. The realism of family and neighborhood interaction will reinforce a young reader's positive development. The West Side Kids are engaging and useful juvenile role models.

Jane Lynch, star of "Glee," the breakout hit on Fox and recently nominated for a Golden Globes award, has talked about her tough Irish upbringing near Chicago and how it helped with her role as Sue Sylvester, the nasty-as-you-wannabe head coach of the Glee Club in the fictional high school .
Lynch grew up as an Irish Catholic in a suburb on the south side of Chicago – "a concrete jungle," where the main pastimes were "beer, whiskey and storytelling." Her father and mother, she told The Guardian newspaper, liked to drink and have company around.
"This is going to make my parents sound terr-i-ble, but all through high school, we were the drinking house. We'd sit around the kitchen table with my parents and drink beer." Lynch relishes her new role. "I'm accessing a part of myself without judgment; and that is the mean part of myself. Every once in a while I'll be walking down the hall making an exit, and I'll just grab one of the kids and put 'em in a headlock and throw 'em against the locker."
She says playing the villain is "delicious". Her character, she says, "Has no filter; whatever heinous thought comes into her mind comes right out of her mouth."
She also discussed her gay identity. "I didn't know what 'gay' was in high school," she says. "We used the word 'queer' when someone was weird – when I finally heard what it really meant, my heart sank, and I thought, 'Oh God, that's me.'"
Lynch struggled for years before her Glee breakthrough and now admits fame makes life a lot easier. "Being the workaday actor that I have been – and will always be, if this goes away – can be thankless. There's a part of us that wants recognition. And it's easier when you get the affirmation and you're making more money and people ask you what you think."

I might be extremely late to the party on this one; nevertheless, for those who aren't yet aware, it looks as though Corey Brewer has landed a minor role in the upcoming comedy Movie 43. It is produced by Peter Farrelly (one half of the infamous Farrelly brothers duo) and is set to be released January 25, 2013. For those who would like a preview of the movie, here is link to a trailer in which Brewer appears right off the bat. It looks pretty raunchy overall, so sensitive types be warned!

is twitch viable?
so yea quick question is he viable now.... how does twitch go against adc such as graves, draven and ezreal....... i know he is fun but i am going to start playing rank soon and really think i should adc........... and i just hate playing ezreal graves and cant buy draven...........
Also riot is making so many changes why wont they nerf buff champion i mean do they really like it that ezreal graves and corki are top tier right now and that most other adc are kinda pointless unless you get a good team..........
Twitch is viable. None of the ADCs really play alike. Kog, Ashe, Caitlyn, Miss Fortune, Tristana, Vayne, etc. are still viable too. It's just which one you feel more comfortable with. Only ADC that I think that is not viable would be Urgot. He really needs a buff.
Although I can honestly say you'll probably have rough 10 - 20 games before you get the hang of it. I think he has a high skillcap compared to most other champions. Especially since he is squishy as balls. Anyone with hard poke is going to be a ***** to deal with since a few aa will bring you to half health at the first few levels.
When you get used to him though it feels pretty bad ass to melt though an entire team with that ulti.
Urgot is viable, I don't know why people say he isn't. He isn't an adc, he is and range attack fighter. He isn't supposed to run the same way.
Westrice was playing him last week at Diamond ELO, so I think you could say he's viable.
i main as twitch and i feel that he is very viable if u learn his style of play
any champion is viable right now and although i dont see many twitches i think hes one of the strongest right now just because of how strong nunu is right now and black cleaver
nunu bloodboil on you
use your twitch ult
have black cleaver
proceed to spray enemy team down
Twitch is awesome but must be play awesomly!
He's really strong in lane with leona.
When you pick twitch, bot lane become a kill lane!

is this funny?
My previous posting about my refinished floors somehow made me wonder about something else (irrelevant) and I went into the kitchen and got the tape measure and measured, etc. Then I said to DH, do you think people would find it funny that we keep a tape measure on every floor of the house (basement, main, upstairs)? And he pointed to my laptop and said "I don't think those people would" LOL =D So glad to have a 'home' here!
I keep one in my purse, too. LOL. It was a gift from my husband, because he got tired of me asking to use the one he keeps permanently in his pocket. Hanky, keys, pocketknife and tape measure. That's his pocket contents.
Before the metal measure, I kept a ruler. For many years I had the room dimensions and window dimensions kept in my pocket calendar. I don't need it anymore because I know it by heart now...... as well as all the window dimension, paint shades, and ceiling heights and each room is different.
Yes.........we understand the measuring devices. ;-)
I keep one in my purse too!!! And I keep one in the kitchen junk drawer. Blackcats, I think you're among friends.
Not funny at all, very good planning.
Hubby's latest order from Harbor Freight had a wrong item in it, substituted 4 of their 25' tapes @ $.79 for whatever it was he ordered. We now have a bonanza of tapes! I have a neat tool box for women, given to me by ny DIL last Christmas, and the 12' tape in it is so feminine. Love it.
I'm with Billl, constantly hunting even after I put one on each floor. Either that, or measuring for the 14th time because I think I'm going to remember but never do.
Plus, one in the storage locker!
I am very very forceful about those tapes going back where they belong. Doesn't hurt that I'm the one using them 99% of the time too ;) I also have a bunch of little papers floating around with all the measurements I could ever want, or so it seems. But THAT's something I can never find when I want it.
tape measures and utility knives are the two things that seem to never be around when you need them. I don't know how many of each we have, but they seem to be migratory -
DH says we should just buy a dozen of each and scatter them around the house so that no matter where we are, we are likely to be able to find one when we need it.
And that does not count what is needed for the out-buildings.
Yeah, it's hard to find people to talk to about old house stuff in my non-virtual world. I see what I do to my house as a combination of realization of personal preference/style/comfort, stewardship, and prudent (or sometimes not-so-prudent) investment. My friends seem to be either at war with their houses, or indifferent; in either case, there isn't much to talk about. So yeah, I love all you people on the laptop. Not only do you listen patiently (my 3D friends do that too, bless them), but--this is the awesome part--you TALK BACK! And say really cool interesting things.
The other thing that keeps me coming here is that throughout my house, I find things done in a jakey way. Sometimes leaves my jaw hanging. So when I do something around here, I don't want a quick fix; I want to do something right, that will stand the test of time. This is where I go to figure out how to do that. If the next person that lives in this house doesn't moan in agony over the house, well, knowing that would somehow ease some of the agony now. (still moaning about ripped-off wrap-around porch.)
so I am in good company
having in my purse:
2 nail sets
2 razor knives
2 sm flashlights
& misc dewalt bits?
tape measure makes it too heavy
to carry in my purse, which
already weighs a ton!
My complaint is that the tape
measures (5 count 'em total)
are always in the vehicles
and never in the house when I need
one!..same with hammers.
have a good weekend everyone.
In desperation I bought multiple sets of hand tools to keep in every ROOM and outbuilding. It works for a while and then they all migrate to a few places and I still don't have one when I need it. Why don't they all end up in the tool box?
The only handtools (including tapes) that don't "float" around the house till they're lost in the bottom of a toybox or kitchen drawer are those I keep locked in my truck. And I hide the truck keys in...oh, no you're not getting that out of me!
This discussion has a surreal element to it, have you noticed?
I have a feeling, a sneaking suspicion if you will, that these tape measures and frequently-needed tool items, have a secret desire to congregate. I don't tell many people that I sense a CONSPIRACY amongst the tape measures to gather together and plot.....something. Changing the "rule?"
Yeah, I've gone so far as to buy another tape measure and set it somewhere, watch it from the corner of my eye to see what it does and where it goes. You have to be alert, because when it moves, be aware! It will lead you to the home for all lost tape measures, and then you can scotch the whole conspiracy before they destroy the English rule, or is it the metric rule now. Seditious little things, aren't they.
My DH is in construction and usually has a 12' tape measure on him. When it breaks, I give him my nice new 12' tape and buy a new one. But after 3 times in six months, I give up. I just went and bought a tiny little 6' one, betcha he doesn't ask for that one...... :)
I keep a toolbox on every floor of my house.
The main tools are in the basement in my workshop.
On the first and second floors, though, I have a plastic tool box with:
a hammer
various nails
several screw drivers
wall anchors
slip jaw pliers
needle nose pliers
a razor knife
a roll of duct tape
6 and 8 inch adjustable crescent wrenches
a tape measure
post it notes
a pencil or pen
a small flash light
None of these tools are expensive. They're Home Depot/Lowes/WalMart type stuff, but they'll allow me to tackle most small jobs like hanging a picture or tightening the screws or bolts on a piece of furniture, without making me run to the basement to get my regular tool box.
I have a tape measure in my purse too. What I don't understand is why its so hard to find rulers divided in tenths. Some drawings I have are on a scale of 1 inch = 10 feet. So an architectural scale divided into 1/8s or 1/4s is not particularly useful. Finally I found an old Title Company advertisement ruler divided into tenths. I'd like a bigger better newer one tho, cant find it. Does anyone know of a source?
I also have a small tool kit that I guard from dh who has tools everywhere, but its hard to find any particular one quickly when you need it.

Comments about Endless Summer Vacation Day Table Lamp Electric Outdoor Heater:
I bought this as a gift for my sister and she loves it. It goes well with her outside decor. Not sure about how well it heats as we have not a a Spring or Summer to use it yet, but it seems to work great under her covered patio!
