Skin care technology has made great strides in correcting the flaws resulting from sun damage to the skin. In particular, light therapy has emerged as the most effective method of combating the effects of aging in the skin. Cells in the skin and supporting tissue absorb wavelengths between 590 and 950 nanometers. Our cells/tissues convert this light energy into "fuel" that is used to increase cellular metabolism. The use of light is safe, pain free, and inexpensive, compared with earlier skin care solutions like laser skin resurfacing and facelifts. Today, everyone can enjoy relaxing, painless light therapy treatments that dramatically improve skin appearance with Baby Quasar.

Baby Quasar Customer Reviews
so far so good - 3/11/2015 9:20:15 AM Just started using, face is less oily...looking forward to other resultsNo results....and not working properly - 3/7/2015 10:40:47 AM I'm surprised by the good reviews on here, based on my experience with the device so far. I have used it 6 days a week for over 3 weeks now with no results. I have some wrinkles on my forehead around eyes and mouth, and they do not even look less noticeable. Also, when I turn it on...sometimes I have to push the button 2 or 3 times to get it stay on. I am going to give it another 2 weeks and see if there is any noticeable change, but then I'm returning it ...that's way too much money to not see any difference.Works - 11/23/2014 10:25:02 AM I have had mine for 2 years. I am 44. The catch, for me anyway is I have to use it nearly daily for results. It takes about 20 minutes. If I skip a few days I have to start all over. It keeps my skin plumped and wrinkles are definately diminished when I use the device daily. I purchased it as a botox alternative. It is really high quality so I feel it is a great value when you compare to cosmetic proceedures.Med Spa level power at home - 8/4/2014 6:31:34 PM I had the red Quasar Md before and loved it, but I saw the new more powerful collagen centric MD Plus and couldn't say no. There is one negative, and it's only that it takes time and diligence to get results. You can't just use it once here and there and expect results. you need to use it 5 days a week every week for at least 8 weeks to see serious results. Once you get to where you want to be you can cut back on frequency to just do maintenance. However, since I got my MD Plus, I've planned to always use it 4-5 days a week. I get such great collagen plumping results with this. I don't want to stop. not only does it fill in the fine lines and wrinkles, it's reduces skin redness, reduces sebum(oil) production, helps heal acne breakouts and dry them up, and also has a tightening effect. After a month I noticed my face was more lifted and taught. The fine lines around my eyes are completely gone and the redness in my check bone area has been reduced. My scar I got from a cat scratch on the face as a child has filled in some and reduced it's depth! If you can put the time and effort into doing the treatments five times a week and give it a month or two at the least. You will see some big results. I have since bought my wife the MD blue for hormonal acne breakouts and it has helped a good deal in the first couple uses! The advantage to getting the Quasar MD Plus, is more power, larger head, which equals less treatment time per session and faster results. The Quasar MD takes about 24 minutes a session and the MD Plus takes about 18 minutes a session. You can go back over problem areas some after sessions if you want. That's what I do. Be careful not to overdo it or you can get a little dried out. This is a must have at home treatment that delivers professional med spa quality results. I enjoy every time I get to use it!VERY NICE MATT CREAM - 8/4/2014 3:04:28 PM plumps my skin up for a very youthful apperance with the collagen,in the heat of the summer my oily skin has a nice matt apperance all day.Too early to tell - 6/11/2014 6:02:44 AM I have had the Baby Quasar Plus for about three weeks now. I can't say that I see any difference in the lines on my face. I was told that it would take longer due to my age group 55+. The positive thing is that my skin feels softer but right now that is it. If I have not seen a remarkable difference before the end of the 60 day money back period, I will probably return it.Power Duo - 6/5/2014 8:57:43 AM Best birthday present I could have given myself. I am 100% satisfied and have even joined their Baby Brigade affiliate program. I am getting married next year and I am buying the Baby Quasar plus for my maid of honor. You must be consistent. At least I can tell when I haven't used my tools. My skin is not as healthy looking but as soon as I treat it, it bounces right back. Great deal for the money! I do my own at-home facials now and finish off with my tools.Amazing technology and very effective - 5/14/2014 7:51:24 AM I had a NuFace in the past, but the results only last 24 hours because it only tones the muscles. Then I read about LED light therapy and found Baby Quasar. I was impressed by the fact that it can rebuild your collagen back. I ordered one and after the first use my skin was much smoother and after 4 weeks my skin was plumping up and it looks just beautiful!!! Thank you so much Baby Quasar for the amazing product and I think every women should have it at home!!!Doesn't work - 5/12/2014 8:20:23 PM This product doesn't work for me. I started with the Baby then went to the MD and neither worked for me. I followed all the vague directions and even called, but nothing. I then bought the NuFace and that worked!!! Thanks SS for the return policy!!!Sooooooo glad I bought it! - 3/14/2014 12:45:39 PM After using this tool for a month, I can honestly say that it has had a SIGNIFICANT impact on my skin's appearance. (And trust me, I wouldn't come here and lead people astray because it's Lent and I already burden my priest with way too many sins as it is.) I did A TON of research on LED therapy for wrinkles before spending this much money on a product the research is out there for those who are skeptical about whether this tool will work. Just know that it takes TIME and you have to use it as directed. At first I thought there was no way I was going to have the patience to use it on each section of my face several times a week, but after using it a couple of times while watching in the mirror, I can now use it while I'm watching TV (close your eyes when you're using it around the eye, though) or kicking back listening to music or something. For me, it only took three uses before my skin started looking radiant. The instruction manual recommends using it one or two times a week for the first eight weeks, but it also says the FDA has cleared it for use for up to five times a week, provided you don't experience any dryness. I never experienced dryness, so I'm using it four times a week, every other day. By the end of the first week, several coworkers had asked me if I had gotten a facial or was using some kind of new skin product. Now, after a month, I can definitely see softening of my crow's feet and wrinkles across my forehead. I'm 43 and my skin looks better than it did when I was in my 30s. Those same coworkers who complimented me after one week are now planning on spending their tax refunds on this thing (LOL). NOTE: This Baby isn't a miracle worker. You're not going to see results if you don't use it consistently and accurately, and you HAVE to back it up with a good skincare regimen sunscreen; products rich in antioxidants; a serum or cream with peptides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramides, a retinol at night; etc. All these things will work together to produce amazing skin, and Baby Quasar is like amping up the power of your skincare routine x 1000. I use mine in the morning cleanse skin, tone, apply an antioxidant serum, use BabyQuasar while I'm listening to the news and drinking coffee, then an anti-aging cream with sunscreen. (CeraVe and Olay Regenerist are two awesome ones.) Sorry if I sound like a skincare fanatic. I've worked for one of the most prestigious spa resorts in the country for years and I'm passionate about using science-based beauty products and urging other women to do the same! Forget the marketing, forget the too-good-to-be-true promises on beautiful packaging, forget celebrities telling you how fabulous something is just do the research! You'll love this thing, I promise. If not, you can track me down and beat me with it! :D Sorry if this is tl;dr. I guess I love this thing so much I could write a book about it. Definitely worth the investment! -
Learn More About Baby Quasar
Collagen and elastin are key components that are required to keep skin supple and flexible. Without these vital proteins, skin begins to sag and wrinkle. Collagen and elastin levels naturally reduce with age. The application of red and infrared light to the skin can help to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. The Quasar MD Plus delivers red and infrared light to the skin in the comfort of your own home. This non-invasive appliance can help to address the characteristic signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. When you are travelling or if you prefer to care for your skin on the go, you may prefer to use the Baby Quasar Plus. This smaller appliance provides the same number of LEDs, it simply uses a smaller sized bulb. Because the active area of the Baby Quasar Plus is smaller, treating your entire complexion will take slightly longer than it would with the larger Quasar MD Plus.
Blemishes are often triggered by hormonal activity in the body. The teenage years and menopause can lead to increased breakouts due to hormonal changes. Inflammation, redness and blemishes can be caused by bacteria in the skin, which enters blocked pores. Light on the blue spectrum can kill bacteria and help to improve the appearance of the skin. The Quasar MD Blue and the smaller Baby Quasar Blue help to reduce breakouts without drying the skin. These high-tech appliances can be used safely on all types of skin.

At first glance I was happy with the sink. After further examination it became evident that the sink was a defect that had natural holes in the rock. The manufacturer tried to fill the holes with epoxy or resin and chips of the same marble. It is hard to see visually but you can feel the crack in the finish. I was taking a chance and hoping I found a steal...but I decided to send it back and pay an extra couple hundred dollars for a defect free product. If you are willing to live with this, the sink is very attractive.
The only issue I have with the vessel sink is the color. It is much darker than the sample picture shown. I realize that natural stone will vary, but mine is a dark chocolate brown. The color pallet in the illustration would have worked nicely in my design scheme. Otherwise, it is good quality.
I am absolutely in love with this sink! We remodeled our entire bathroom in light travertine with smaller accent tiles and trim in Emperador Dark marble. The vanity top is also done in a slab of light travertine. This marble, Emperador Dark, sink was an exact match, and a perfect accent piece and focal point for the bathroom. It is gorgeous!! I am so glad to have found it. It is exactly what I was looking for!
Vessel arrived quickly and as described. It's very nice looking and substantial. Thank you!
I ordered two sinks for my master bath. They arrived in 3 days in perfect condition. They do not have the green cast that appears in the photo. They are a nice brown-black-cream color. They match perfectly the Sienna Ridge Silestone that I placed them on.
Beautiful marble vessel sink. Color is darker than picture shows, but I searched some other pics to see more options of the color & product received was as I expected. This sink will be perfect for our guest bathroom & I am excited to get it installed. The sink has a luxurious feel & will be a great addition to our home. The price point was exceptionally great as well.
Was as expected On time delivery. Would use Overstock again for similar type of service
This item was a great price, but on top of that, Overstock gave me a partial refund because I found it cheaper elsewhere, and was able to provide them with the item's website. The service is great at O!
Loved the sinks, just much darker than advertised.
This product looks NOTHING like the photo. Contrary to its green appearance with yellow detailing this sink is a dark chocolate brown with white. It is a beautiful marble but was extremely disappointed as it looks nothing like its photo and does match our bathroom. I would not recommend this product if you think it will be green and we are returning it as soon as possible.
This item is not returnable unless the problem you experience is the result of our error.

These spots popped up everywhere on New Year's. It seemed an unusual ad campaign style for this type of film. I felt like it was counting down for a doomsday movie.
Disney and Sam Raimi have released two new TV Spots that celebrate the New Year and Oz The Great and Powerful. Check out both posted here. There doesn't seem to be much int he realm of new footage so don't worry about spoilers.
The Plot: When small-time magician Oscar Diggs (James Franco) pulls one flimflam too many, he finds himself hurled into the fantastical Land of Oz where he must somehow transform himself into the great and powerful wizard—and just maybe into a better man as well.
Official Boilerplate: Disney's fantastical adventure Oz The Great and Powerful, directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved wizard character. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful wizard but into a better man as well.
Oz The Great and Powerful arrives in theaters March 8, 2013.
These spots popped up everywhere on New Year's. It seemed an unusual ad campaign style for this type of film. I felt like it was counting down for a doomsday movie.
This film looks interesting and I am looking forward to seeing it. But wasn't the whole crux of Wizard of Oz that the wizard was a con man who used Dorothy to do his dirty work? If he becomes a "better man" in this film how do we reconcile that with him risking the life of a child for his own ends in Wizard of Oz?
I'm looking forward to this even though I'm starting to suffer from Kunis fatigue. Bitches that make it based solely on looks need to wear a muzzle and keep that gym membership active
Kunis Fatigue? They got pills for that. Don't operate heavy machinery after a dosage.
Karas, not sure if that is the only problem. Though I thought the last movie made Dorthy seem like she just had a dream and Oz doesn't even exist at all, so really not sure it matters at all. I've never read all the books, so don't really know the true story.
The black and white to color transition is classy and nice tip o the hat- Glad the director and producers decided to keep it in, as I hear there were some fights over it.

A fully open system is actually exactly what I've been wanting. However wanting to give it away for free? how do they expect to perpetuate the product past the initial run?
Last edited by Kivada; 08-28-2013 at 12:45 AM.
The fact that they chose flex funding for the campaign, the video looks like a spinning minecraft creation and doesn't have any real direction on how they will proceed, isn't very convincing. I've backed the Parallella project(http://www.parallella.org/, which for a $99 computer, will far outpace this and is an open source hardware project). The ProjectQ motherboard that will run any OS (which is going into my next development box) even is more appealing regardless of the price difference in hardware. While it is good that they have a noble idea and thought to contact Phoronix for news coverage, their idea is half baked, especially when involving hardware, especially considering the amount they are asking for.
From the article:
Are their other goals as realistic as that?Our goal isnt to change the Internet, our goal is to replace it.
if you like the ideas have a look at freedom box. It has Eben Moglen and Bdale Garbee behind it.
The issue right now, is software rather then hardware.
Unless they wish to also release VHDL files, which I doubt, this isn't a huge thing really. It's really not about x86, but arm, at 99 USD, you don't have a lot of x86 options. x86 has firmware/microcode issues that would work against their statement.
As for arm, the most open SoC is the Allwinner A10, A20 series and there the only thing left, is lots of man-hours to write/port/clean the drivers. You have a fully opensource platform (sans GPU, which libv is working hard on).
So what exactly are they crowdfunding? Or they just trying to get rich quick over our backs?
There is also Bunnie's open laptop: http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=3265
It will be ARM SoC based.
Looks like scam to me
the issue is ICs. CPU, GPU, chipset, etc... There is billions of dollars invested in existing platforms, 250 grand isnt even a drop in the bucket.

On the Charts
When I started to experiment with color knitting and lace, I realized drawing up charts was a skill I ought to acquire so as not to waste time and yarn. I invested in a giant pad of graph paper and found I quite enjoyed the process...provided the patterns were relatively small.
Sketching by hand was no trouble for smallish motifs, covering perhaps 25 stitches square or fewer. But when I started dreaming in lace and decided I wanted to mix an array of Shetland stitch patterns into a single piece, my troubles began.
It's one thing to painstakingly map out part of a stole that's 200 stitches wide and 100 stitches tall. It can be an exhilirating contemplative experience, and a wonderful exercise in concentration.
It's quite another thing to knit from your chart, realize you want to shuffle the motifs a bit here or there in order to improve the piece, and then contemplate redrawing the entire...freaking... chart...
And for me, the impulse to tear out my hair is doubly frustrating as nature long ago anticipated me in that area.
I knew charting software was available, but when I began to hunt for it none of the well-known applications supported Macs (a situation that has since changed). I bleated about this in a blog entry, and got a message from the dear lady at the helm of the Knit Foundry. Fear not, she said, help is on the way.
And so it was.
For the past several months I've had the pleasure of working with Knit Visualizer. It's the first and only charting software I've ever used, so I can't offer you a comparative review. However, by happy chance one is available from my comrade Marilyn, who knows from software.
What I can tell you is that I was able to use Knit Visualizer out of the box with little initial reference to the documentation–and the documentation, when needed, is excellent. As Marilyn points out, this software is what you get when a knitter and a developer inhabit the same body.
I'll give you the two limitations I've found, and they're minor. First: the software does not allow the creation of color charts...yet. The next upgrade, I am told, will take care of that. Second, there seems to be no simple way to substitute one stitch for another. For example, if you've used the diamond symbol to represent "red" in your chart and wish to change all instances of the diamond to another symbol, so far as I've been able to find this isn't possible.
On the other hand, the ease of use is admirable. A stupendously broad and deep palette of symbols is provided for the user, with everything from the most common symbols for purl and k2tog, to a cavalcade of cables and esoteric increases and decreases. Quite complicated charts can be put together with surprising ease.
I agree with Marilyn that the stand-out feature is the pattern text parser, which allows you to type pattern instructions into the software and watch, amazed, as the finished chart appears before you. The parser is optimized to work with patterns as written in Barbara Walker's famous Treasuries, and to date I've used it countless times to do up charts for lace patterns I've needed to swatch.
This is no small boon. I'm hard at work on the christening shawl for Phil and Susan's baby, a piece I hope will become an heirloom. Less time drawing dots in little boxes means more time knitting, and I estimate conservatively that I've probably saved six to eight hours thanks to Knit Visualizer.
I also used it to chart the donkey for the Littlest Democrat sweater. I could probably have done it by hand, but using the computer freed me up to tinker and manipulate until I was absolutely satisfied with what I'd done.
The slick, flexible print interface means I can share the chart with you quite easily. Ive turned it sideways so that I could make it bigger. I've tested it to make sure it should come out legibly on any decent printer.
(Republicans, I'm afraid I just don't have time for an elephant, as I'm busy knitting helmet liners for 21,500 under-equipped soldiers who are being sent to Iraq. Je suis désolé.)
In Other News
I had a wonderful, wonderful weekend. Those responsible know who they are, and I thank them. Select details in the next entry. Or, you know, when I get around to it. It's going to be another week of 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. This, too, shall pass.
I hope everyone's week is off to a beautiful start.

It looks to me like the grid is square. Is it possible to make it rectangular to more accurately chart designs? I hate it when my intarsia gets squished!

Thanks for the info on the Knit Visualizer. I'll need to look into that. An even bigger thanks for the Donkey chart. A pregnant friend of mine really needs a sweater for their baby on the way and covets that one in a big way.

Hmmm-good point on the stretched out intarsia stitches....but the parsing feature has me interested!
- Desiknitter said...
This sounds like a good alternative to the Stitch&Motif maker. But I had two questions: are the grids square or rectangular? and, is it available for Mac? (please say it is!!)
- Melinda said...
Thanks so much for the donkey graphic!
Re: knit visualizer: So far I've only used he parsing feature which is terrific--I wish I could overlay a graphic (my own drawing or a free use image). I wondered about the squares as well. I've been assuming I'd have to make some adjustments to account for the difference between row and stitch gauge. At http://www.tata-tatao.to/knit/matrix/e-index.html you can create blank chart paper sized to a specific gauge--I don't think that's a possible adjustment in KV. - 12:40 PM

My thanks for your wonderful words on Knit Visualizer. The next version of Knit Visualizer will indeed have color; I've already coded it (it's not ready for release yet though - sorry!) I'll look into the "replace symbol X with symbol Y" it's something I've thought about before.
As for the grid size - they are square; and no option to change to a rectangular. When I've wanted to knit from a more representative view I take the exported PNG (with the chart only) and resize that to give it the more scaled look that I want.
I hope this answers everyone's questions - I'll keep an eye on the comments to see if there are any more. Thanks again! - 1:07 PM

Wool Works noted another software designer, Cochenille, that does stuff for Macs.
Expensive, but it has a wider application than just knitting, especially the Garment Designer version. I haven't used it, just looked at it.

Well, between this post and Mar's, I'm thinking a long-overdue upgrade to OS 10.4 is in order with a visit to Knit Foundry not far behind. I have a lot of traditional Fair Isle & Scandinavian charts (with more in the works) but having something to help me come up with my own or to tweak what I have is definitely something I want.
And what do you mean "Well before my skill level justified it"? a) You have a natural aptitude for knitting. That much is obvious. And b) breaking out of the boundaries of published patterns is the best possible way, IMO, to develop a robust skill set. It is what makes a master knitter a master. - 1:46 PM

"Well before my skill level justified it, I began to rebel against published patterns."
There is no law about using patterns nor an equivalent of the driving test to make sure you have reached a certain standard before you knit your own. In fact many of us grew up knitting from patterns and have had to work kind of hard to convince ourselves that we CAN work without them.
And I have a friend here that went straight from a couple of scarves to knitting a sweater for herself without a pattern, based only on a sweater she already owned. No books. No pattern. Nothing. She wouldn't wear it to the Oscars but she does wear it in public and it is just fine. - 1:57 PM

Perhaps charting software is the means for me to get past my overwhelming and irrational fear of charts. On the other hand, a fear of charts is pretty non-life-interfering so it's not like an emergency or anything. Still might help me get past that particular roadblock...thanx!

Thanks ever so much for posting this extremely informational post. It was well worth the wait. I had a feeling it was Knit Visualizer.
I only have one bitch about the software - why is it so pricey? I'm NOT a penny-pincher by any means, when I want something I go for it, no matter what, but dang...is it really WORTH a buck something?
That's the only thing holding me back from having purchased it already. I do like the test version that I downloaded. But I'm not sure yet if I can justify spending that much on it. :( - 3:44 PM

I want a "littlest Democrat" sweater for the boy I'm expecting in May. I also want to teach my sister intarsia. Thanks, Franklin -- now I have a way to bring those two interests together! (Also, a more sarcastic thanks for giving me a new knitting tool to covet!)

Since at the moment I am only doing colorwork, I can note that MacStitch, which is primarily an embroidery program, has a nifty little button to press to make it in scale for knit stitches and does, most obviously, colors. Between the DMC and Anchor yarns you can find darned near any color you want. (ursasoftware.com - YMMV)
I just picked up Sock Wizard for Mac for Xmas, and will be looking at KnitVisualizer again. But the ability to type in the line by lines and have it magically appear as a chart is pretty darned cool. - 5:08 PM

One thing that I would like to see but couldn't find in the demo version was a way to pick a differant symbol for a common operation, i.e. I like the tilda (~) for slip one purlwise.

Same reasoning, I picked KV because it works on a Mac and it seems to be the only. I've been quite pleased with it, and the parser magic is quite cool. I think in charts, but occasionally it's nice to be able to work in the opposite direction... Oh, and congrats on your new "baby" -- it's quite a gorgeous wheel!

Honey, seriously, I'm in the middle of nowhere & can't claim wonderful LYSs or metro stations or wonderful Buddhist spots to go & learn as you do, but WE'RE at least closed on MLK day and no alumni here ever EVER would bark orders at you like they did that one time - and if anyone was ever asinine enough to do such a thing nobody here on campus would think a single thing of it if you barked right back. In fact they'd probably applaud you for doing so.

Use Excel to solve three problems: Color charting, Mac compatibility, and rectangular gridding. You can change the column width to match your particular gauge.
Admittedly there's no "k2tog" but you can substitute another symbol... & perhaps?

"Dreaming in lace"
I love that. I finished a large baby shawl for Christmas (pictures on my blog at the end of Dec), put together a bunch of different motifs with a diamond theme, worked from the center out. Some charting software would have been handy.

CryoEnergy System uses liquid air to store energy
A schematic of the CES pilot project in operation at Scotland's Slough Heat & Power plant (Image: Highview Power Storage)
Article Summary
Balancing demand for energy with timely production is a juggling act that is particularly relevant to renewable sources such as wind and solar. Because the wind isn't always blowing and the sun isn't always shining, the energy produced by these systems needs to be stored efficiently so it can be used when it's needed. While some scientists are looking into storing such energy by converting it to natural gas, Britain's Highview Power Storage has its own approach, which is already in use in a pilot project. In a nutshell, the company is storing excess energy as liquid air.

Hi Jodi, sorry to bother you, but I wonder if you could look at my new post in Getting Started with PSE. I don't know how to save my projects so that I can reopen them later and edit them without getting white spaces around all my elements. Thanks so much! Jane
Ok I think I've posted week two in all the right places. But I do have a question, I'm using PSE 7 and I would like to put rulers onto my page when I am trying to line things up, but all I find is grid lines. Am I missing something? Thanks Shauna aka tomosia

LCC's program results in a well-educated Basic EMT, providing education beyond the Basic EMT minimum requirements. The program can be taken in two different configurations. Click on the Advising Guide to see the options available for completing the program.
The Emergency Medical Service Program is accredited by:
Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) upon recommendation of the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP) located at:
1361 Park Street
Clearwater, Florida 33756
They can be contacted at (727) 210-2350 or at
Click here to view Advising Guide
The student must complete an ICHAT Criminal Background Investigation through www.michigan.gov/ichat and submit documentation from ICHAT to the EMS office before beginning the clinical course, EMTA 112. The EMS office is located in the Health and Human Services Building, Room 108. All records showing on a background check will be sent to the LCC Risk Management Office for acceptance into the program. Meeting the deadline for a refund is the student's responsibility.
Other Related Courses
For those students interested in obtaining an Associate Degree in EMS or for those that have special interest in specific components of EMS, the following courses are available.
- EMTA 105 - Ambulance Driving
- EMTA 114 - Rescue/Extrication/Dangerous Situations
- SPCH 110 - Oral Communication in the Workplace
- WRIT 124 - Technical Writing or WRIT 127 - Business Writing
- *BIOL 145 - Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology - OR -
- *BIOL 201- Human Anatomy and BIOL 202 - Human Physiology
*BIOL 145 or BIOL 201 and BIOL 202 are required as a prerequisite for admission to the Paramedic Program. BIOL 201 and BIOL 202 can be taken concurrently.
These courses may be taken concurrently with the Basic EMT Program courses (EMTA 101,102,103,104 and 112). Students interested in obtaining an associate degree must complete CORE curriculum requirements in addition to the above courses and the Paramedic Program.
Students are required to purchase some medical supplies, appropriate clinical attire and update their immunizations, including the Hepatitis B series. These costs are in addition to regular course fees.
State licensing is performed through the Division of Emergency Medical Services of the State of Michigan Department of Community Health, EMS Division. A written and practical examination offered by the National Registry of EMT's must be taken for licensure.
Basic Emergency Medical Technician Career Facts
Nature of Work
Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) typically are dispatched to the scene of an incident by a 911 operator and often with or are themselves police and/or fire officers. Once they arrive, they determine the nature and extent of the patient's condition and try to ascertain whether the patient has preexisting medical problems. Following strict rules and guidelines, they give appropriate emergency care and, when necessary, transport the patient. Emergency treatments for more complicated problems are carried out under the direction of physicians by radio preceding or during transport. The EMT is trained to care for patients on accident scenes and on transport by ambulance to the hospital under medical directions. The EMT has the emergency skills to assess a patient's condition and manage respiratory, cardiac, trauma and many medical emergencies.
Most career EMTs work in metropolitan areas. There are many more volunteer EMTs in smaller cities, towns, and rural areas. They volunteer for fire departments, emergency medical services, or hospitals and may respond to only a few calls for service per month, or may answer the majority of calls, especially in smaller communities.
Employment Prospects
Employment of emergency medical technicians and paramedics is expected to grow 20-35 percent through 2018. Population growth and urbanization will increase the demand for full-time paid EMTs rather than for volunteers. In addition, a large segment of the population, the aging baby boomers, will further spur demand for EMT services, as they become more likely to have medical emergencies.
To practice in the State of Michigan, individuals must pass the written practical exam prescribed by the National Registry of EMTs. Upon completion individuals then apply for a Michigan EMS License through the Michigan Department of Community Health, EMS Division. The license must be renewed every three years.
Skills You Need
EMTs and paramedics are required to have physical and emotional strength and stamina, as well as skills in interpersonal relationships and effective communication and critical thinking. Students must have a high school diploma or GED and complete the educational requirements set forth by the Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry Services, EMS Division.
Expected Earnings
Earnings for EMTs depend on the employment setting and geographic location as well as the individual's training and experience. The average salary for an EMT is $27,000-$29,000, and increases when based with a hospital or fire service.

Reggie Bush and Daniel Thomas each rushed for a touchdown as visiting Miami topped Cincinnati in a defensive battle.
Ryan Tannehill completed 17 of 26 passes for 223 yards and did not turn the ball over for the Dolphins (2-3), who stayed committed to the run despite averaging only 1.9 yards on 35 attempts.
The Miami defense stepped up in the fourth quarter, stopping Andy Dalton on third down before a missed 41-yard field-goal attempt with 3:00 left. It sealed the win 1:38 later, when Reshad Jones intercepted Dalton's pass at midfield.
Cincinnati took an early lead with a pair of field goals before Thomas bulled his way in on a 1-yard run with 6:54 left in the first half. Dalton was intercepted on the opening drive of the third quarter and Bush made Cincinnati pay for the mistake, rushing in for a 13-yard score.
Dalton finished 26 of 43 for 234 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions for the Bengals (3-2), who had their three-game winning streak come to an end.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Cincinnati WR A.J. Green made nine catches for 65 yards and scored for the fourth straight game. … The Bengals were again without CB Dre Kirkpatrick (knee) and CB Jason Allen (thigh). … Miami WR Brian Hartline, who exploded for 253 yards on 12 catches last week, was held to 59 yards on four receptions.

Costa Rica kicked off play in the 2013 Copa Centroamericano late Friday night, with Crew striker Jairo Arrieta providing the difference in the host country's 1-0 victory over Belize. Arrieta's 55th minute tally was his first goal for La Sele in five career caps.
The Ticos will resume play in the tournament on Sunday against Nicaragua. Copa Centroamericano runs until January 27 and the top five teams in the seven-team tournament qualify for the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup. However, Arrieta may not report to Crew training camp at that point as La Sele begins the Hexagonal round of 2014 World Cup Qualifying in Panama on February 6.

After signing as the fifth Homegrown player in Crew history, University of Akron standout Chad Barson joined TheCrew.com's Cody Sharrett for a short Q&A.
Cody Sharrett: Congratulations on signing with the Crew. How do you plan on contributing to the Black & Gold as a rookie?
Chad Barson: I think I bring a good work ethic. I have a good mentality in the way I approach things. I'm willing to contribute, and I'm a team guy. I put the team first. I'll put the team's needs above my own and whatever they need, that's what I'm willing to do.
CS: You've been captain for the past two seasons at Akron and as a centerback, you have to be a leader on the field. How do you approach being a leader as a rookie?
CB: You have to be yourself. You can't be shy. As a rookie, you're stepping into uncharted territory and just because you're the young guy or the new guy, it doesn't matter how long you've been around. Obviously guys that have been around have more say, but you still need to be able to lead, to talk and to organize guys because the position I play, you see the whole game from where you play.
CS: Your coach at Akron, Caleb Porter, has moved on to the Portland TImbers in MLS. How did he develop your game over the past four years at Akron.
CB: Basically, I like to say everything about my game is a result of Coach Porter. The way we trained at Akron, the mentality he teaches you how to approach life, how to approach school, how to approach soccer: it's really all from him. I see a lot of him in myself. When I talk, when I play, just everything really.
CS: You were born and raised in Columbus. Do you remember your first Crew game? Which players did you look up to?
CB: I don't remember my first Crew game. But watching guys like [Brian] McBride, [Brian] Maisonneuve and Jeff Cunningham, I remember watching those guys all the time when I was younger.
CS: Over the past few summers, you've spent time training with the First Team. Who is the toughest guy you've had to defend?
CB: Honestly size-wise, Andy Iro and Chad Marshall because they're some pretty big guys. I'd also throw Steve Lenhart in there because he's such a scrappy guy and he likes to be physical, but he's also a great guy.
Coming off of a breakout 2012 season, Crew defender Josh Williams describes his offseason plans and looks ahead to the 2013 campaign.
TheCrew.com caught-up with Crew goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum after the team's final training session of 2012. Hear what he had to say about the past season and his upcoming plans.
Crew striker Jairo Arrieta went the full 90 minutes for Costa Rica in a 1-1 draw with Bolivia from the Estadio Hernando Stiles in Santa Cruz. Wearing the 21 jersey for Los Ticos, Jairo provided a dangerous option for the Costa Rican side with two shots on goal.
Costa Rica will play Panama on February 6, 2013 in the Hexagonal Round to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

The magazine examined the NCAA enforcement division and the questions it has faced since Shapiro's allegations of providing thousands of impermissible benefits to Hurricanes athletes came to light in 2011.
Speaking from a federal prison in Oakdale, La., Shapiro said, "I thought I was dealing with the FBI. Instead, I was dealing with a bunch of clowns. I gave the NCAA the body, the weapon and the DNA evidence on a platter, and they found a way to screw this up."
The SI story on the NCAA enforcement division noted the changes it has undergone since Mark Emmert became president in 2010 and how several former staffers believe he has hampered investigations. Four members of the department have left the department in the past year.
"People are questioning the need and effectiveness of the enforcement staff in general to the point that I wonder if the membership will say we don't want it," former investigator Abigail Grantstein told SI.
Shapiro told SI that he gambled on 23 Miami games, using inside information from players, from 2003 to 2009 and provided bank records to support his claims.
Yahoo! Sports first broke the story in 2011 of how Shapiro provided impermissible benefits to Miami athletes that included entertaiment, cash, jewelry and other things.
Shapiro is serving a 20-year sentence for running a $930 million Ponzi scheme.

Disappeared shops - Alfred Beames George Street
Thanks to Nick Clarke for this wonderfully evocative photo - one he took for his O'level photography exam , no less :)

The car's a Vauxhall Viva, which was introduced about the time I took my driving test in 1965. There's a no-entry sign to the left of the picture which looks as if it's saying that part of George Street was one-way. Was this so, or was perhaps the whole of George Street one-way at the time the photo was taken?

Jeez, had forgotten about Alfred Beames...Dad used to get wood and DIY stuff from there now and then. We used to joke that you could get wooden beams from Alfred Beames. We had a really out there sense of humour in those days!
Would this be the place that had a sawmill at the back? I used to go there now and then for sawdust for my rabbits cage.....the blokes let me help myself under the saws. Probably an occupational health and safety issue now! Seem to recall it was near the bus station prior to the good old M57...but am not 100% sure if this is the place.
Beames is one of those many Hyde shops whose name you knew instantly, like Byles, Proctors, Ollerenshaws, Harrisons Office Supplies, Harrisons Newsagent, and Henry V Hird. Plus a hundred more that I can't remember! Hetts fishing tackle perhaps, or Hollinghursts or Brookes hardware etc etc..
I used to service those type of Vauxhall Viva when I worked for the gas board, they had the van version when I started in 1977, though they were being phased out by North West Gas at the time. I seem to recall they were the HA series. Really basic vehicle, no ABS or cruise control I seem to recall. Funnily enough though, we managed without them! - Friday, 11 March, 2011

I also went there to get sawdust... as for the one way I have tried recalling it but can't... I will ask others when I get the chance.

Ex Hydeonian - thanks for your kind comments. If you have nostalgic memories of the pubs in Hyde have a look at the photos on Google Earth - I think I've got one there for each of the pubs in Hyde that is currently in business!
- Friday, 11 March, 2011
The small shop in-between Beames and the hairdressers was Sammy's chip shop with its delightful old fashioned cafe at the back, complete with magnificent black-leaded range.His wife cooked and served tasty, wholesome meals at reasonable prices.
Out of sight on the opposite corner was Harold Clarke's second-hand shop which was a fascinating treasure trove of both new and antique furniture, pictures,bric a brac etc. - Tuesday, 17 May, 2011

Goddamn This War! by Jacques Tardi & Jean-Pierre Verney - 16-page excerpt | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under previews, Jacques Tardi, Coming Attractions | 15 Mar 2013 12:38 PM |
We've just uploaded a 16-page excerpt (comprising the entire first chapter) of Goddamn This War! by Jacques Tardi & Jean-Pierre Verney for your perusal. This section of Tardi's second WWI masterwork covers 1914, the first year of the war, told from the somewhat jaundiced (though not completely despairing yet) point of view of a French infantry soldier, illustrated in Tardi's loose-yet-precise pen and striking watercolors. View the preview in the embedded reader here or get the PDF directly. We've just approved the printer's proofs which means the book should be hitting shelves in June or so — you can get it a little sooner if you pre-order direct from us.

Ranger School レンジャースクール Renjā Sukūru | |
Information about Ranger School | |
Region: | Almia |
Connecting locations: | ← West - School Road
→ East - Cargo Ship |
Weather: | Normal |
Kind: | Normal |
Location of Ranger School in Almia. |
The Ranger School is a location whereby individuals aspire to become either Rangers, Mechanics and Operators in training, featured in Shadows of Almia. Hidden in Ascension Square is a diary which was used by the three founding fathers of the Ranger Union: Erma, Professor Hastings and Lamont.
At the Ranger School, individuals are taught skills pertaining to the lives of Pokémon Rangers, in order to succeed as either a Ranger, a Mechanic or an Operator. It is here where Erma, Professor Hastings and Lamont vowed to bring peace to the Pokémon world, thus forging what would later become the institution of the Ranger Union. Lamont created the Ranger School to allow children to learn about the responsibilities of being a Pokémon Ranger. For demonstration purposes, the Ranger School implements a safer, less powerful variant of the Capture Styler called the School Styler.
- Pokémon Ranger - A Pokémon Ranger's role is to uphold the peace within the Almia region and protect nature. Their role is pivotal in the day-to-day running of the Ranger Union.
- Operator - These people are assigned to communicate directly with Pokémon Rangers in the field via voicemail, and can grant additional PokéAssists to Rangers who successfully complete a mission. Though the role of Operator is slightly subservient to the Ranger, it is a crucial aspect of the Ranger Union.
- Mechanic - The Mechanic's role in the series is to repair machinery. Not much else about this class is known.
Within the Ranger School, there are a variety of teachers whom are capable of teaching students about the role of Pokémon Rangers in everyday life. The teachers present are as follows:
- Mr. Lamont - The Headmaster of the Ranger School and its founder, Lamont is a person dedicated to the ideals of peace within the world.
- Mr. Kincaid - Kincaid is a teacher at the Ranger School, who later reveals himself as a member of the sinister Team Dim Sun.
- Ms. April - April is the teacher of the protagonist's classroom.
- Ms. Claire - Claire is a teacher at the Ranger School, whose specialty lies in Target Clear.
- Janice - Janice serves as the person who looks after the Ranger School.
- Mr. Kaplan - Kaplan is a teacher at the Ranger School, who specialises in the teaching of Capturing Pokémon through the use of School Stylers.
This place is located in front of the Ranger School building. There are crates here, and some Pokémon roaming around the field. There is a classroom on the left side of the building. To the right is where Ascension Square is located.
Located in the first floor of the Ranger School, with two classrooms, a library, staircase and the Staff Room. Pichu and Bidoof are found here.
Second Floor
This is the place to eat and where dormitories are located.
Ascension Square
This is where the Pledge Stone is located. There is a port on the east side. This is where Team Dim Sun's Cargo Ship will eventually crash here.
This is where Mr. Kincaid's laboratory located. The location also has a Zubat blocking it so the player must find his/her own way.
It is found in front of the Field, to the west, it leads to School Road.
