The Nationals and Marlins meet in the series finale at Sun Life Stadium.
MIAMI — A very pleasant Sunday morning to you all once again from Sun Life Stadium, where the Nationals and Marlins play the rubber game of this weekend series today. We've seen a couple of pitchers' duels so far, with Stephen Strasburg beating Ricky Nolasco 4-0 and Josh Johnson beating Livan Hernandez 2-0.
Chances of another low-scoring game today? Not so good. Craig Stammen (2-3, 5.79) faces Alex Sanabia (0-1, 3.09) in less-than-enticing pitching matchup. Stammen, of course, has had his moments — four times this season he's pitched into the seventh and allowed two or fewer earned runs, including May 7 against the Marlins. But he's also been prone to some really ugly starts, including his last two — he's allowed 11 runs and 14 hits over his last 8 2/3 innings.
Couple of minor, pre-planned changes to Jim Riggleman's lineup. Wil Nieves starts behind the plate, giving Ivan Rodriguez the traditional day game after a night game off. And Ian Desmond takes a seat, with Cristian Guzman starting at shortstop and Adam Kennedy at second base.
Check back for updates throughout the day…

As you have suggested Mark, Gonzo is not up to being a regualar. However, shouldn't he be playing SS or 2nd more than some of those other guys—particularly Kennedy?
- greg - Jul 18, 2010 at 3:19 PM
an ignominous pace for nyjer morgan, via buster olney (and one of his readers):===Thanks to loyal reader Tom Walter, we now know that two different players (Nyjer Morgan and Chone Figgins) reached the All-Star break on pace to strike out 100-plus times while making zero home-run trots. And that's kind of interesting, seeing as how only one player has had a season like that in history, according to Lee Sinins' Complete Baseball Encyclopedia. That would be the immortal Manny Lee (107 SO, 0 HR) in 1991.

err… apologies to jason stark (not that he likely would know), that was from his column, not buster's.

Re. the attendance comparison, hadn't heard that, but I believe that the O's get big boosts when the Sox and Yankees are in town, fwiw.Also, was it commenter sock puppet night on Saturday or what?
- Doc - Jul 18, 2010 at 4:00 PM
I don't know about Figgins' strike out swing, but Nyjer's goofy swing (with minimal weight shift) is most noted on inside pitches that few successful left-handed hitters would attempt.
- Anonymous - Jul 18, 2010 at 4:04 PM
Gonzo should be at shortstop instead of Guzman that's for sure. Last night without Guzman the top of the order went 5 for 9. I doubt we'll see that today. Another marker on the way to 100 losses and Riggleman's eventual demise.
- carolync - Jul 18, 2010 at 5:22 PM
I very much enjoy the email audios but don't want to hear any more from Desmond. He doesn't deserve all the press coverage he gets. Yet another lack of concentration error last night led to the winning unearned run. Livan deserves better defense. Gonzo should play short. I think he is up to it for a while.

I'll tell you what else we can predict: Morgan getting thrown out stealing second.Why oh why oh why do the Nats continue to give him the green light?
- Anonymous - Jul 18, 2010 at 5:55 PM
@ManassasTell me this is not the season in a nutshell. Already 0 for 6 in RISP situations. Tonight when I get chance i am going to through do the RISP for and against the Nats. That is now at least 0 for their last 15.
- Anonymous8 - Jul 18, 2010 at 6:06 PM
I will say that with Morgan bunting down 1st as well as 3rd base should only help his production while his caught stealing % keeps hurting his production.The net/net on Nyjer is he can frustrate the opponents as well as the Nats fanbase!
- court - Jul 18, 2010 at 6:25 PM
Anyone who thinks the AG needs more playing time obviously didn't watch any of last season. The guy was given a chance to be an everyday player and failed. He's fine where he is – as a utility guy with some versatility. Desmond's frustrating for sure, but we have to find out what we have in him. The only way he'll improve is with playing experience. That said, I think he should slide to second when Espinosa's ready. Also, what is Alex Gonzales's contract situation? Is he available this offseason? He would be a nice stop-gap for Espinosa and would allow Desmond to move to second after both Guzman and Kennedy are let go.

Same old story, no offense. Yet, the sad sack batting coach, Eckstein, still hangs on. Of course, if competence was a requirement, Riggleman and all the rest of the coaches would be gone.

It's pretty damn hard for us to go with 100 losses. we'd have to win 21 games or less in the next 70 or so.
- Knoxville Nat - Jul 18, 2010 at 7:38 PM
Two observations,first the Marlins announcers were saying what a break they caught on Willie's "check swing" strike out. Second, is Willingham having difficulty picking up a breaking pitch? I don't recall what he hit Friday night on his 3 run double but I'm pretty sure it was a straight fastball. He has absolutely looked lost at the plat when a curve ball or a slider comes in the past two games.
- Mark Zuckerman - Jul 18, 2010 at 7:39 PM
Knoxville Nat: Willingham's big hit the other night came on a hanging slider.

I hope they file this game as a "Nationals Classic" on MASN. Because that was a classic piece of s**t performance by this team. What a waste of 3 hours.

With supposedly something to prove in the second half, the Nats scored in one of 27 innings over the weekend — 4 runs in the 6th inning Friday night. I guess they're well on their way to proving it.

Third time trying to post without browser blowing up. What the??RZ did have a good play earlier in the game. The bad throw doesn't erase that (except, perhaps, in the memory of frustrated fans).

There is no longer any proof that this team is better than last year, or the year before or…We may not loose 100, but they are not showing any improvement over this time last year.Our only real progress has been the pitching staff, and they are why we will not loose 100.Our improved offense, isn't, while our fielding and baserunning still need improvements.
- Knoxville Nat - Jul 18, 2010 at 8:17 PM
Mark,Thanks for straightening me out on Hammer's hit this past Friday. But let me ask you, is my main point that Josh looked lost on most breaking pitches this weekend accurate or not?
- Sunderland - Jul 18, 2010 at 8:24 PM
Kennedy makes the 2nd out of the inning running the bases poorly.Maxwell almost makes the third getting picked off.In the 9th inning, in a one run game!Another example of a very poorly coached and managed team.100 Loses. It's gonna be tough, but if we grind out a few more close loses, we'll have a shot.
- Anonymous - Jul 18, 2010 at 8:25 PM
the base running is just embarrassing. Kennedy should be just released, he is worthless.
- Mark Zuckerman - Jul 18, 2010 at 8:33 PM
Knoxville Nat: You are correct in your overall evaluation. I thought Willingham (and several other guys) really looked lost against breaking balls today, especially late in the game. Some interesting comments from Rick Eckstein afterward about how hitters were approaching some of those at-bats. I'll have those in a little while.
- Anonymous - Jul 18, 2010 at 8:36 PM
Eight more games and its 40-60 and 20 games under.
- Theo - Jul 18, 2010 at 9:13 PM
Nats scored four in Game One; Kennedy gave away 2+ in Game Two (caused Desmond's error, egregiously stupid base-running [Listach took the blame but Kennedy slowed down, was looking at second and running sideways]); Kennedy gave away another run in Game 3 (more awful base-running). So, w/out Kennedy, Nats score at least five runs over three days, give up no more than one. When they signed the guy, I thought he was a reliable, every-day player. Now he's playing like Elijah Dukes without child support payments.

@ManassasI see no emotion on the team. None. We do not need to go ballistic like Carlos Zambrano, but show some emotion so we as fans know you care as much as we care. That was a big problem under Acta, and that part has not changed under RIggleman.

@ ManassasJust for the record Nationals have struck out 111 more times than they have thrown strike outs. That combined with a lack of hitting is causing big problems.

@Anon 5:26 – Strasburg displayed some emotion the other day. Peralta showed some today. Dunn, of course, always seems to show frustration (in his own way) when he and the offense put up zeros.
- JayB - Jul 18, 2010 at 9:59 PM
Kennedy performance is not new people….go back to SD trip to the west coast…Rigglemans instance to play Harris, Kennedy, Morgan and Guzman at the time Pudge was on DL killed this team. It was 5 games over .500 and now look what happened. Rizzo sat on his hands instead of correcting his mistakes from the winter. They still need a catcher and a 2B and a RF with Roger playing CF most days……I called in 8 weeks ago and finally the rest of you are seeing it…..Riggleman must be fired now and Rizzo should be next unless he is going to make the moves that need to be made to improve this team. Trade Josh W and Capps today. DFA Harris and Kennedy, trade Guzman and pick up his salary…..should get a C prospect then…This team is going to get real close to 100 loses because it cheeped out this off season….Did not spend on the positions it needed to address…this is a complete lost year because all the same holes still exist one year later.
- Cwj - Jul 18, 2010 at 10:10 PM
JayB- at least the Nats have a bullpen and a true ace. That's something I guess I'm trying to be as optimistic as possible….
- JayB - Jul 18, 2010 at 10:15 PM
Cwj…you are correct the bull pen is much better….could it be worse? Is that really a tough fix to make for a competent GM? Rizzo blew 2B, back up catcher, RF and Vet Starting Pitching. All these are still major holes for this winter….JUST LIKE LAST WINTER!
- Anonymous - Jul 18, 2010 at 10:45 PM
I guess one could say that Kennedy and Marquis do not look like good moves at this point. Anticipating potential problems with Flores as well? From Rizzo's perspective unless he gets a power pitchier as a top of the rotation starter he's probably not going to make any great leap. So, they did get one in Strasburg and a future closer in Storen. Jury's out on whether they've found a shortstop. I suspect that right field would be resolved in the near term by just playing Morse every day and having Bernadina move between right and center fields. Instead Riggleman decided to make Guzman "his utility starter". A huge mistake. I'd be happy to see Gonzalez, Desmond and Morse start the rest of the season and to heck with the stupid platoon. It doesn't work Riggleman. It didn't before and it doesn't now. It produces errors, a league leading quantity. It makes your first baseman look far worst because he has to manage errant throws while still learning this position. You want him for your bat but must you embarrass him in the field? It may effect that bat you so desperately need.
- Sunderland - Jul 18, 2010 at 10:52 PM
JayB – I'm with you on almost 100%.I'm still up in the air about Rizzo. I just assume he is hamstrung to do much.He could fix the bullpen on the cheap by signing Capps, hoping, and signing 15 other guys real cheap and seeing which ones panned out.He tried the same with the rotation with Marquis and a bunch of others (Livo included).It worked in the bullpen.It didn't work in the rotation.Did Rizzo completely blow RF? He certainly knew coming into spring training that there was a really good chance that Dukes was not going to be prepared to play major league baseball. But was he afforded an opportunity to really address this? Who knows. So he signs Duncan, Taveras, Mench, hopes on Bernadina and Maxwell and Morse.Regardless, Riggleman is indeed killing every semblance of "team" that we have.

Bill - Do they give more instruction on building the curing chamber in the second book? Is that one you are using your own design? Looks fantastic. I tried the guanciale from the first book and it was a disaster (I think it was from the first book?).John
John,No building instructions in the book. I'm using an old, tall wine fridge set to the desired temp. Unlike the smaller wine cooler I converted for fermenting and proofing bread, this one has no need for a heat source since the ambient temp in the garage is higher than the target temp. A little humidifier attached to a humidity control is the main addition. There is very small fan inside to circulate the air. There is no need for any form of dehumidification since the climate here is very dry. I leave the door about 1/8" open to keep the air fresh. The problem is that the garage now smells like a delicatessen, which is driving the dogs crazy.
Is that angel hair pasta and, if so, did you make it yourself?
Looks great, almost like a Carbonara pasta, which I love!! I'll be making some pasta with this new batch of Capicola for sure. Do you have a recipe you would share with what you have there??
Thank you sir. Kind of like a baked Carbonara, sounds great!jon

When kidneys fail, dialysis is necessary to remove waste products such as urea from the blood. By itself, urea is only mildly toxic, but a high urea level means that the levels of many other waste products that are more harmful and not as easily measured are also building up.
To see whether dialysis is removing enough urea, the dialysis clinic should periodically—normally once a month—test a patient's blood to measure dialysis adequacy. Blood is sampled at the start of dialysis and at the end. The levels of urea in the two blood samples are then compared. Two methods are generally used to assess dialysis adequacy, URR and Kt/V.
What is the URR?
URR stands for urea reduction ratio, meaning the reduction in urea as a result of dialysis. The URR is one measure of how effectively a dialysis treatment removed waste products from the body and is commonly expressed as a percentage.
Example: If the initial, or predialysis, urea level was 50 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) and the postdialysis urea level was 15 mg/dL, the amount of urea removed was 35 mg/dL.
50 mg/dL - 15 mg/dL = 35 mg/dL
The amount of urea removed (35 mg/dL) is expressed as a percentage of the predialysis urea level (50 mg/dL).
35/50 = 70/100 = 70%
Although no fixed percentage can be said to represent an adequate dialysis, patients generally live longer and have fewer hospitalizations if the URR is at least 60 percent. As a result, some experts recommend a minimum URR of 65 percent.
The URR is usually measured only once every 12 to 14 treatments, which is once a month. The URR may vary considerably from treatment to treatment. Therefore, a single value below 65 percent should not be of great concern, but a patient's average URR should exceed 65 percent.
What is the Kt/V?
Kt/V is another way of measuring dialysis adequacy. In this measurement,
- K stands for the dialyzer clearance, the rate at which blood passes through the dialyzer, expressed in milliliters per minute (mL/min)
- t stands for time
- Kt, the top part of the fraction, is clearance multiplied by time, representing the volume of fluid completely cleared of urea during a single treatment
- V, the bottom part of the fraction, is the volume of water a patient's body contains
Example: If the dialyzer's clearance is 300 mL/min and a dialysis session lasts for 180 minutes (3 hours), Kt will be 300 mL/min multiplied by 180 minutes. The result comes to 54,000 mL, or 54 liters.
Kt = 300 mL/min multiplied by 180 minutes
Kt = 54,000 mL = 54 liters
The body is about 60 percent water by weight. If a patient weighs 70 kilograms (kg), or 154 pounds (lbs), V will be 42 liters.
V = 70 kg multiplied by .60 = 42 liters
So the ratio—K multiplied by t to V, or Kt/V—compares the amount of fluid that passes through the dialyzer with the amount of fluid in the patient's body. The Kt/V for this patient would be 1.3.
Kt/V = 54/42 = 1.3
How Does the Kt/V Compare with the URR?
The Kt/V is mathematically related to the URR and is in fact derived from it, except that the Kt/V also takes into account two additional factors:
- urea generated by the body during dialysis
- extra urea removed during dialysis along with excess fluid
The Kt/V is more accurate than the URR in measuring how much urea is removed during dialysis, primarily because the Kt/V also considers the amount of urea removed with excess fluid. Consider two patients with the same URR and the same postdialysis weight, one with a weight loss of 1 kg—about 2.2 lbs—during the treatment and the other with a weight loss of 3 kg-about 6.6 lbs. The patient who loses 3 kg will have a higher Kt/V, even though both have the same URR.
The fact that a patient who loses more weight during dialysis will have a higher Kt/V does not mean it is better to gain more water weight between dialysis sessions so more fluid has to be removed, because the extra fluid puts a strain on the heart and circulation. However, patients who lose more weight during dialysis will have a higher Kt/V for the same level of URR.
On average, a Kt/V of 1.2 is roughly equivalent to a URR of about 63 percent. Thus, another standard of adequate dialysis is a minimum Kt/V of 1.2. The Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) group has adopted the Kt/V of 1.2 as the standard for dialysis adequacy.1 Like the URR, the Kt/V may vary considerably from treatment to treatment because of measurement error and other factors. So while a single low value is not always of concern, the average Kt/V should be at least 1.2. In some patients with large fluid losses during dialysis, the Kt/V can be greater than 1.2 with a URR slightly below 65 percent—in the range of 58 to 65 percent. In such cases, the KDOQI guidelines consider the Kt/V to be the primary measure of adequacy.
1National Kidney Foundation: K/DOQI clinical practice guidelines for hemodialysis adequacy, 2000. American Journal of Kidney Disease. 2001;37(suppl 1):S7-S64.[Top]
Is a URR of 65 percent or a Kt/V of 1.2 good enough?
These dialysis adequacy guidelines were determined on the basis of studies in large groups of patients. These studies generally showed that patients with lower Kt/V and URR numbers had more health problems and a greater risk of death. However, the HEMO study—see Hope through Research—showed that a Kt/V greater than 1.2 did not result in improved outcomes.
If a patient's Kt/V is always above 1.2 and the URR is close to 65 percent, then the patient's treatment is meeting adequacy guidelines. The patient's URR may be a few points below 65 if the person has large fluid losses during dialysis.
What can patients do to improve their Kt/V?
If a patient's average Kt/V—usually the average of three measurements—is consistently below 1.2, the patient and the nephrologist need to discuss ways to improve it. Since the V value is fixed, Kt/V can be improved either by increasing K or t.
Increase Blood Flow through the Dialyzer
Increasing K depends primarily on the rate of blood flow through the dialyzer. No matter how good a dialyzer is, how well it works depends primarily on moving blood through it. In many patients, a good rate is difficult to achieve because of vascular access problems.
If a patient's blood flow rate is good, further improvements in clearance can be obtained by using a big dialyzer or, in some cases, by increasing the flow rate for dialysis solution from the usual 500 mL/min to 600 or 800 mL/min. A good flow rate for adult patients is 350 mL/min and higher. A few centers are even using two dialyzers at the same time to increase K in larger than average patients.
However, the rate of blood flow through the dialyzer is key, and a good vascular access is crucial to make sure a patient is getting good clearance.
Increase Time on Dialysis
The other way to improve the Kt in Kt/V is to increase t by dialyzing for a longer period. For example, if the Kt/V is 0.9 and the goal is 1.2, then 1.2/0.9 = 1.33, so 1.33 times more Kt is needed. If K is not changed, this means the length of the session needs to increase by 33 percent. If the inadequate sessions lasted 3 hours, they should be increased to 4 hours.
Identify and Eliminate Circulation Problems
If during any given month a patient's Kt/V is extremely low, the measurement should be repeated, unless a reason for the low Kt/V is obvious. Obvious reasons include treatment interruption, problems with blood or solution flow, and a problem in sampling either the pre- or postdialysis blood. If no reason for the sudden drop is apparent, then a problem with needle placement, like accidental needle reversal, or with the vascular access, such as recirculation, should be suspected.
Points to Remember
- The two methods generally used to assess dialysis adequacy are URR and Kt/V.
- A patient's average URR should exceed 65 percent.
- A patient's average Kt/V should be at least 1.2.
- A patient's URR or Kt/V can be increased either by increasing time on dialysis or increasing blood flow through the dialyzer.
Hope through Research
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), through its Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases, supports several programs and studies devoted to improving treatment for patients with progressive kidney disease and permanent kidney failure, including patients on hemodialysis.
The End-Stage Renal Disease Program promotes research to reduce medical problems from bone, blood, nervous system, metabolic, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and endocrine abnormalities in kidney failure and to improve the effectiveness of dialysis and transplantation.
The HEMO Study, completed in 2002, tested the theory that a higher dialysis dose or high-flux membranes would reduce patient mortality-death—and morbidity—medical problems. Doctors at 15 medical centers recruited more than 1,800 hemodialysis patients and randomly assigned them to high or standard dialysis doses. The study found no increase in the health or survival of patients who had a higher dialysis dose.
The Frequent Hemodialysis Clinical Trials will compare the conventional, three-times-a-week schedule of hemodialysis with schedules that include shorter daily sessions or longer overnight sessions. Researchers will determine whether more frequent hemodialysis improves blood pressure control, nutritional status, anemia, quality of life, heart health, and vascular access condition.
The U.S. Renal Data System (USRDS) collects, analyzes, and distributes information about kidney failure in the United States. The USRDS is funded directly by the NIDDK in conjunction with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The USRDS publishes an Annual Data Report, which characterizes the total population of people with kidney failure; reports on incidence, prevalence, mortality rates, and trends over time; and develops data on the effects of various treatments. The report, available at www.usrds.org/adr.aspx , also helps identify problems and opportunities for more focused special research on kidney issues.
Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. For information about current studies, visit www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

Selected FAQ |
Why am I getting a NO SIGNAL message? |
An image source not connected to the projector is selected, the signal is not being output from the computer, or the signal is not reaching the projector. Make sure the connectors are securely attached to both the projector and the image source. Then check that the image source is selected correctly. If your projector is attached to a Macintosh, make sure that the dip switches on your Macintosh desktop adapter are set correctly. When NO SIGNAL is displayed, you cannot access the Video menu. |

Can you show me
To verify if it should work with 64 bit special fromCode:lspci -vnn
In gfxdetect mode.
...and Linux only boots off a live USB stick when using AMD's nonfree driver in UEFI mode. Linux won't boot when using free or nonfree drivers in Legacy mode or the free driver in UEFI mode. All I get is a blinking underscore during those instances.
I consequently installed Linux by booting the live USB stick using AMD's nonfree driver in UEFI mode and then switched to AMD's free driver after upgrading to kernel 3.13 and uninstalled the nonfree driver. Now I get a blinking underscore when booting as well.
My hardware:
- Intel i5 4670K
- Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5H
What can I do to fix this? It took long enough just to figure out how to boot Linux on this newly built rig of mine. I used SUSE Studio Image Writer to create the live USB stick and have tried Manjaro, openSUSE, and GParted Live.
Can you show me
To verify if it should work with 64 bit special fromCode:lspci -vnn
In gfxdetect mode.
A silent hang during boot, before initializing the proper gfx drivers? I had that once, turned out a piece of firmware was missing (the new kernel required the UVD files, which I hadn't had installed before). I don't get why there's no error message, but that seems to be the way it is.
My R9 290 (without the X) requires:
radeon/PITCAIRN_ce.bin radeon/PITCAIRN_mc.bin radeon/PITCAIRN_me.bin radeon/PITCAIRN_pfp.bin radeon/PITCAIRN_rlc.bin radeon/PITCAIRN_smc.bin radeon/TAHITI_uvd.bin
in /lib/firmware, initrd and/or built into the kernel, depending on your configuration. AFAIK the R9 290X needs the same files.
Not quite sure what you're asking for but I'll do it. I booted the live USB stick with nonfree drivers in UEFI mode (as I cannot access my installation currently). Here you go.
My installation has those files in the location you specified.
It's simple why i wanted the full output. You see this:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0412] (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Hawaii XT [Radeon HD 8970] [1002:67b0] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Which would be like an Optimus setup. Don't enable Intel GPU in your firmware when you don't know what you do. I guess Gigabyte has it as default as somebody with Nvidia GPU had the Intel GPU active as well with a Z87 board...
Ahhh, I see what you mean now. I don't see how that happened, though. On my old desktop (built it myself too), I had an Intel CPU and a Nvidia GPU and never had that issue with booting live USB sticks. Is there a way to disable the Intel GPU in the UEFI? I haven't been able to find a way yet.
As you did not find it, I even downloaded the manual of your board. Guess what, you can find the setting in the Peripherals section:
Internal Graphics - Disable (or Auto if available)
Hard to believe that you did not see that...
As i do not own Optimus i tested radeon+Intel, radeon+nouveau successfully, but i could not fake real Optimus with binary nvidia driver. 2 or more cards from the same vendor did not work as well. For nouveau i needed an override to init it with Intel first and kernel 3.13. Vdpau can be switched with PRIME, vaapi needed a patch. I got am hotfix for vaapi but it crashes inside the app still when you use a non supported card with it. Nouveau does not work on a system without CSM, can not test this with radeon as i only have got old Evergreen cards. But binary drivers do not really work well on Desktops when Intel onboard is active, even when no monitor is connected.
I had a very similar issue when I attempted to test a discrete GPU with Linux in my APU build. IIRC, the bios had some dual-GPU mode set by default and I had to switch it to auto for Linux to boot properly.
I hate it when something is caused by an incorrect BIOS configuration :/ IIRC, the option was hidden and at the very end of all the configuration options on my ASRock board, too

By: Marie Williams
Looking back on my life, between the ages of 13 and 16-years old, I can only imagine how terrified my parents must have been. I was the kid who snuck out at night to hang out with friends, who cut classes to go have pizza and hang out with other kids who had long dropped out of school altogether; and I was the girl who rode in cars with boys who may or may not have been licensed to drive.
The reality in those years, I am happy to say, was not as dire as it looked. In many ways, I was a poser--a voyeur. I was not actually doing many of the things my parents feared most, so much as hanging out with the kids who were. Still, it must have been an unsettling time for my parents, and they certainly had no way of knowing just how committed (or not) I was to the potentially self-destructive path I seemed to have chosen.
If you're having a similarly unsettling time with your teenagers, here are a few tips for navigating the minefield of common teen problem behaviors:
Problem #1: My Teen Lies to Me
There are many reasons your teen may choose not to tell you the truth. They may want to avoid consequences for small infractions; they may do it as a way to assert their independence by hiding aspects of their lives from you, or—most worrisome—they may be concealing details of a far more serious behaviors than the lie itself. Undoubtedly, it's that last one that keeps parents up at night. To avoid getting to that point, ask your teen specific questions that leave little or no room for them to bend the truth. And if they do, call them out on it. Letting "little white lies" go will give them the impression that your commitment to honesty is not a serious one. Most importantly, model the behavior you want your teen to engage in. As you may remember from your teen years, hypocrisy is the one fault teens are most attentive to among adults. In some cases, teens' lying may rise to a level that is a cause for significant concern. Habitual lying, avoidance, or exaggeration may indicate deeper underlying issues that may warrant the involvement of a professional.
Problem #2: I Don't Like my Teen's Friends
Before you jump the gun and impose rules and restrictions about who your teen can spend time with, ask yourself why you don't like their friends and the people they spend time with. If your concerns are related to the superficial—the clothes they wear, the fact that they have piercings, or the color of their hair—reassess whether the problem might be yours alone. But if you have clear and objective reasons related to their friends' behavior, or your teen's behavior when they are with those friends, you should act. First, ask questions. If you have heard rumors from other parents or kids, confirm them rather than make accusations. And even if some of your fears about your teens' friends are founded, consider the least restrictive measures to reach your end goal. If they must socialize with these friends, require that they do so in your home when you are present, or only during specific hours. Create guidelines around whether they can visit with these friends in their homes, and require them to check in at predetermined times or intervals. And finally, reinforce your standards for their behavior when they are not with you.
Problem #3: My Teen Has Trouble Controlling Her Emotions
Changes in mood and demeanor that appear suddenly and rapidly are among the hallmarks of adolescence. But there are times when changes in your teen's moods may indicate that something is wrong that requires medical intervention. Watch for cycles of goal-oriented and almost frenzied behavior followed by periods of inactivity and a loss of interest and changes in appearance including significant weight gain or loss and inattention to hygiene. Keep the lines of communication open; check-in frequently, and provide other non-verbal outlets for expression. But when that, or making yourself —or another trusted adult—available as a sounding board does not work, professional help is in order. And remember, if teens are acting out in ways that are self-harming or harmful to others, don't wait. Seek help immediately.
Problem #4: My Teen is Experimenting with Sex
By the time your kids are pre-teens your family's values regarding sexual activity should be no mystery. Talk to your teens about your belief and value system regarding sex, and let them know the reasoning behind it. Remember that apart from moral or religious convictions, there is ample information to support the position that teens are in many ways emotionally (and as a practical matter) ill-equipped to handle the complexities of sex. Share that information with your teen; and particularly if they are already sexually-active, do so in a manner that is non-threatening and non-judgmental.
[Related: Tips for Talking with Teens about Sex]Make sure they see a health professional to hear firsthand about the health implications of being sexually active, and speak to them frankly about the emotional implications. And make no mistake, if your teenager views sex as purely recreational, you may be out of your depth to address this on your own. Seek the help of a qualified professional to partner with as deeper issues, including a lack of self-worth may be at play.
Problem #5: My Teen is Trying Drugs
Curiosity about drugs is common among teens, so avoid overreactions or moralistic lectures over expressions of curiosity. If they feel comfortable enough to talk about it with you, chances are your opinion carries far more weight than you realize. But aside from holding off on expressing your opinion, use the opportunity to listen to why they're curious and figure out how you might counter that curiosity with more positive choices. Are they bored? Reacting to pressure from peers? Escaping a problem that seems insurmountable? Each of these motivations for drug can be addressed with different strategies. But if you think your teen is already using drugs, first assess the severity of the problem. If they tried marijuana once, for example, a drug treatment program would be unwarranted and could do more harm than good. If, however, they are trying "hard" drugs, or multiple drugs, you must seek the help of a professional who can perform an assessment and make recommendation for how to address it. Talking it through alone is very unlikely to solve the problem.

And people who say stuff like that are narrow-minded. One could easily say that one that believes in God are so gullible. But since no one can prove that ghosts or God DOES or DOESN'T exist (there's more evidence of ghosts than actual evidence of God, by the way) it's all about faith and belief. Some people, even with proof staring them in the face, still will not believe, no matter what. So to each his or her own.

Brother MFC-J4620DW review
TechRadar ProDo you have a small office or home with big ideas? Then Brother thinks it has just the printer for you.
Do you have a small office or home with big ideas? Then Brother thinks it has just the printer for you.
This HP offering is a capable all-in-one that doesn't break the bank, but print quality is underwhelming.
This 3D printer is highly suitable for the classroom in a number of respects, including the device's easy setup.
The whole world has gone mobile. So why are printers still so heavy and wide?
Nobody gets fired for buying an HP printer and the LaserJet Pro MFP M225dw is no exception, with all the right print, scan, copy and fax options the SME needs.
A new colour inkjet All-in-One, the HP OfficeJet Pro 6830 is quick, capable and well equipped in terms of wireless and mobile connectivity.
Brother's entry-level A3 printer is very cheap, but it's inexpensive to run, surprisingly fast and produces excellent results on good quality paper.
Brother's flagship inkjet for small/home offices has lots of features including colour A3 printing and a low price, but that doesn't mean the running costs are ruinously expensive.

Buy now; pay later
Buy now; pay later. What a great concept this is. It contributed mightily to Americas growth. It also removed the pain of waiting until you earned your reward.
Properly managed credit is a very useful financial tool, but in the hands of an immature individual it can encourage imprudence that may end up in bankruptcy. Unfortunately, the greatest demand for credit is among those with the least monetary discipline.
Bankruptcy is not fair to the creditors, but of course those who extend credit have an opportunity to examine the borrowers record thoroughly before taking the risk.
Now let us examine another buy now scheme; this one provides immediate gratification to the customer for a relatively modest cost while requiring unspecified payments from future generations. How many generations would be affected? That is also unspecified, and what happens if they cannot pay? That is unspecified, too. What we do know is that it will continue mercilessly for at least 6,000 years and, most likely, double that time.
This is a contract that no sane businessman (or woman) would ever enter into knowingly and theres the rub. Those future generations do not get a crack at examining the risk factor or an opportunity to decline the offer.
All this to avoid regulating the way this generation does business? Those who favor this lack of restriction say it destroys their freedom. That is not their freedom they are exercising. It is their irresponsibility.
If you think this is unconscionable, I would agree with you.
Of course, I am referring to the storage of spent fuel rods from all those nuclear generating plants so you and I can pop two slices of bread into our toaster in the morning (among other uses, of course).
Makes you feel proud, doesnt it? It certainly gives a whole new dimension to bankruptcy and a whole new meaning to irresponsibility, too.
We may have come from monkeys, but stop kidding yourself, it was no ascendancy.
Have fun, kids. Dont forget we love you. Well leave the light on for ya.

Comments about dcshoes Men's Pure Ns Tx Shoes:
I like theses shoes but they aren't great. I would give them a 3.5 out of 5. I wear them as everyday shoes to my office job and around town.
Super light and comfortable but a little but narrow. I tie my shoes a bit loose so I can slip them on and off but the tongue in these shoes always shifts to one side unless you lace them tighter.
Material is like a plastic type leather that is fairly durable but I've had them a few months and the threadless seams are starting to lift a little bit.
Need more colour options. Grey looks pretty good but almost looks purple in some light.

-The breathing areas around the shoe are slightly purplish, although they blend with the main shoe color in most lighting. The breathing material is thin and works well, but I wouldn't want to spend much time in the rain with these, as it seems like water could get in before long.
-The shoe is a 'no stitch' design which has its pros and cons. Such as, without seams to stretch, the shoe material itself will stretch and fold over time. This to me is a negative since these shoes may develop 'dents' and 'folds' over time, and I wonder how much stretchability the material ultimately has.
-Whenever buying DC shoes, don't buy sizes too large. Your exact shoe sizes should always be a bit snug, because after you wear them in they will be a perfect fit with no tightness, it's just getting past that initial stage of stretching them. Shoe size is important because of toe length, and you don't want clown shoes with an inch+ of space in front of your big toe.
-I'm questioning the durability of the no stitch process.....they are essentially machine pressed under immense pressure with glued materials. We shall see how they hold up over time.
-The shoes have a smooth kind of soft touch feel to them. I think they will be very easy to keep clean, and there's nothing to get all gnatted up like with faux suede. The material may be susceptible to scratches from rough and sharp objects though.
-The rubber sole is made of two materials, the main material is what you'll typically get in a unilite shoe (a somewhat stiff rubber), the other (the black part) under the arch area is a much fluffier rubber that you can press in to the touch. Think stiff cushioning. The part between the sole and upper area of the shoe also have a border of the same puffy rubber. From my personal experience, these soft rubbers typically get 'crinkled' over time...but it's more of an issue on white rubbers than dark ones.
-They are lite as a feather. That's why I love unilite shoes. They're soo lite, that you can be holding the shoe box and mistake it for being empty. They make normal shoes feel like bricks on your feet.
-There is some slippage at the heel initially, these are really low rise shoes, about an inch between ankle to shoe. Proper lacing and tightening and wearing them in should quickly remedy the slippage.
-Shoe laces are nothing special, and a little short. That can be a good thing though, since they don't hang at all...but there's just barely enough slack to tie them.
-Shoe padding nothing special, but comfortable enough. Some shoes you put on and it feels like you're walking on a hardwood floor. None of that nonsense here.
-Price could be a bit better. $40-ish seems like a good price range. But they're definitely priced better than most other DC shoes of thia caliber.
All in all, it's not a bad shoe. I typically keep shoes for as long as they'll last and my experience with DC shoes has been that they last about 2 years of regular use before they start breaking down or look too worn out.

Comments about dcshoes Men's Pure Ns Tx Shoes:
these shoes i think are DC's best
the dark grey with gum sole is looks so good. Not that I dont like the DC branding but the shoe, having a dark logo, really keeps the shoe super clean.
I didnt even know these had "no-sew" until i got them, which was an extra bonus. These shoes are built very well and are probably my favorite DCs yet. I cant recommend these enough, they look rad!

nice selection. options are even included in the pick 2 deal. menu allows you to see multiple allergens; helpful if need to avoid another item such as dairy or peanuts. i am disappointed that their cries are not gluten free (but glad that they make that known).
Horrible! If you have Celiac Disease or are Gluten-Free, I strongly recommend you avoid this restaurant. I made sure the staff knew I had a severe food allergy and that it was important the prep areas be cleaned, gloves changed, etc. Based on the dirty silverware that both my mom and I received, I doubt they value cleanliness. We had to ask for clean silverware twice as both times when we opened our silverware it was covered in caked on food particles. Yuck! When we showed the waitress, she was incredibly rude. Their bathroom was also filthy and didn't have toilet paper or hand soap. This location is just nasty! To top off the uncleanliness and the rude staff, their food made me horrifically ill. I will never go back to this location.
2255 South 9th Street, Salina, KS 67401
I am so impressed my waitress didn't know much but she immediately went and got the manager and she was eager to learn. The food was great. the service was fast I will go there again.
600 Village Green Dr, Gallatin, TN 37066
Menu has specific info on GF, vegetarian/vegan (dairy, eggs & honey containing menu items are specified) items as well as fish & nut allergy information. Ask your server to show you the details on the Ziosk screen at your table. Delicious options for all!
210 East Commerce Street, Brownwood, TX 76801
We eat here often. The gf items on the kiosk. Tell waiter to help. Nothing fried is safe tho.
4000 McCain Boulevard, North Little Rock, AR 72116
We go here often with no issues. Fryer is not safe so no chips or fries, but the staff is very good and careful.
1624 Clark Street Rd, Auburn, NY 13021
Eat here very often. No problems, very helpful and understanding with severe sensitivities. I usually get the steak as a safe option
1030 Skyland Boulevard East, Tuscaloosa, AL 35405
Dedicated GF menu with excellent taste. I love the grilled chicken and my favorite appetizers (chips, salsa, queso) are on the list! Never had a bad meal from here, never had a cross contamination issue. I always make sure to inform the staff of my allergy and they are very understanding, no questions asked. Wait staff is sometimes forgetful or inattentive but never bad. The flavor and bottomless chips and salsa are definitely worth a wait!
8296 26 Mile Rd, Shelby Township, MI 48316
I ordered off the gluten free menu and told my server I was allergic. I came home and was sick. Will not eat there again.
5601 U.S. 41, Terre Haute, IN 47802
I got the Fajita Trio with chicken, steak and shrimp with corn tortillas. Didn't taste all that great kinda blah. But they had a decent GF menu.
3020 South Glenstone Avenue, Springfield, MO 65804
Last time I went, yrs ago, they had a pretty good selection & I didn't get sick. :)
4600 Chapel Hill Blvd, Durham, NC 27707
Server was immediately able to produce the food allergy friendly menu. Quite a few gluten-free options, although they are very clear to say that they cannot guarantee that the food meets the Gluten Free label criteria.
5501 R C Josh Birmingham Parkway, Charlotte, NC 28208
Great place to eat if you want a meal and not just a snack! Ask for the GF menu. They are very friendly and willing to answer questions. I ordered the Margherita Grilled Chicken Fresh Mex bowl without the tortilla strips. Glad I tried this place out!
They have a great selections of options to chose. I ordered grilled salmon . I didn't have any reaction. I would totally recommend them. The server asked if I have an allergy .
1718 Matt Murphy Road, Alice, TX 78332
Ate here twice, menu has lots of items and each item is clearly listed. Food was good and I didn't get sick.
12740 South Route 59, Plainfield, IL 60585
I go here a lot when visiting my father-in-law. Their menu includes some exclusions, but contains a lot of options. They don't have gfree bread items, but their rices are great and they've got corn tortillas vs flour so youcan take that risk if you want to. They will also serve naked fajitas so you don't need a wrap at all. Pretty good food at a decent price!
3691 Erie Blvd E, DeWitt, NY 13214
This restaurant has a gf menu. The staff is not knowledgeable about gluten free. As they state on their menu, the chance of cross contamination is possible and that is very true! I ordered the Fresh Mex bowl without tortilla strips and got the Fresh Mex bowl with about 4 tortilla strips mixed in with the rest of the food. I am sure the staff has not been trained in trying to prevent cross contamination. If you have a gluten sensitivity don't take a chance ! I won't eat here again.
12172 S Apopka Vineland Rd, Orlando, FL 32836
Ordered caesar salad w/o croutons and chicken (allergies to both) and potato soup. They forgot soup than brought it out afyer salad. I ate 1/2 soup only to find a tortilla strip (fried in same fryer as everything else) than ate 1/4 salad only to find shredded pieces of chicken. 2nd soup brought out by waitress and appeared ok.....2nd salad brought out by manager with croutons all over it. At this point asked if we could just leave as I was already contaminated x2. Already have migraine forming amongst other gi issues. If I could rate this a 0 I would. DO NOT GO HERE if you want to stay contaminate free on your vacation! They do not take it serious.
12172 S Apopka Vineland Rd, Orlando, FL 32836
The allergen menu is on the computer/kiosk on each table. I had plenty of options and a great meal.
5650 Almaden Expressway, San Jose, CA 95118
I bring my own chips and they are so awesome about letting me do so!!
204 Hamilton Crossing Dr, Alcoa, TN 37701
We lobe to eat at this Chili's. We have eaten their chips, salsa, fries, mashed potatoes, cinnamon apples, rice, beans, chicken, soup, steak, salad, fajitas, & bacon ranch chicken quesadilla made with corn shells instead of wheat with no problems or sickness. We go about 1-2 times a week! :)
855 E Kemper Rd, Springdale, OH 45246
Waitress told us that after working there two years, the manager informed her they are no longer providing any gluten free options. said it was due to new regulations. Boooo Chili's. Glad we packed a snack.
3710 Call Field Rd, Wichita Falls, TX 76308
Full menu of soup, salad and entrees.
3805 Fairchild Ave, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410
Excellent service and delicious gluten free choices. We will definitely be eating there again!
3870 Truxel Rd, Sacramento, CA 95834
Beware!!! Major cross contamination issues and GF ignorant staff.
33 Crystal Run Xing, Middletown, NY 10941
They have continuously screwed up my requests to not have any added spices or bread on my plate. Every time no one comes out to apologize except for the last time.
3795 Washtenaw Ave, Ann Arbor, MI 48104
This Chili's always accommodates us gf three in our family. Have eaten here numerous times and never get sick. I love the Monterey Chicken with loaded mashed potatoes (no gravy) and broccoli. There's a menu with salads and other options, too. The waiter today told me the gf food is made in a separate oven in a separate pan, with separate utensils. They're friendly and knowledgeable at this location.
3870 Truxel Rd, Sacramento, CA 95834
They have gluten-free menu that they change frequently. I like to go there for their unlimited soup and salad lunch deals! Staff is fairly knowledgeable about GF so I feel safe to eat there.
2227 Tanger Blvd, Gonzales, LA 70737
I ordered the Margarita Chicken with black beans and rice. It was delicious! Tortilla chips are usually served with this, but left off as they are fried in house in a fryer not dedicated to GF items. I didn't get sick, though I did take Glutenease before and activated charcoal afterwards... a precaution I always take when eating away from home. Our first waitress seemed confused by my questions, but shift changed while we were there and the waiter afterwards was more helpful. I'd give it a 4.5 if I could. (:
3820 U.S. 54, Osage Beach, MO 65065
You can print off the allergen menus from the website but they usually don't have a copy at their locations in my experience. I do like that they have menus for most common allergens (online) but the servers generally aren't familiar with them when you're there, and you have to talk to a manager to get any location-specific info. Decent variety and number of choices but food always comes out cold.
1430 109th Ave NE, Blaine, MN 55449
I experienced the same thing as a previous comment. After stating my GF needs clearly and ordering from gf menu, my steak plate came out with Texas toast piled on top. sent back and the same steak and Potato were moved to new plate and given to me. Asked manager why and the response was "does or matter?" I got a 3rd plate of food and proceeded to break out in hives at the table. called corporate and was given vouchers and advised to use them at another location. No thanks, won't be back and would have liked a refund of my money.
17801 International Boulevard D7, SeaTac, WA 98158
They were closed in the evening due to not enough flights using the terminal after noon. long walk for nothin!
6311 North Illinois Street, Fairview Heights, IL 62208
loved this place before diagnosed with celiac disease, and I still love that I have options here even after my world changed
1430 109th Ave NE, Blaine, MN 55449
asked for Gluten free menu. they had lots of options that were more than just salad
30 W Shoreline Dr, Long Beach, CA 90802
I appreciated the GF menu, which was on the little tablet that is located on each table. On the negative side they asked us if we wanted to order chips and guacamole, which I believe are not in a dedicated fryer.
20070 U.S. 59, Humble, TX 77338
They gave me a gf menu which was awesome but they totally messed up my order. I was specific on my order yet they gave me a regular order.
610 Commerce Boulevard, Fairless, PA 19030
Had a horrible experience at this location. When I asked the server whether an item on their menu was gf, he responded "it may be..." But didn't even offer to ask the manager or the chef in the back. I finally asked him to be 100% sure, but he never came back to answer my question. Service was horrible.
940 U.S. 1, Vero Beach, FL 32960
Excellent variety of gluten free options. Had the monetary chicken without bacon and steamed broccoli.
311 Red Cliffs Dr, St George, UT 84790
I always have had good luck at Chilis with my gluten free options. I had the Monterey chicken which was tasty. I also got some corn tortillas to dip in the salsa (their chips go in a common fryer and are not gluten free) they have a gluten free menu if you ask your server.
250 Silhavy Rd, Valparaiso, IN 46383
Great experience and they will let you make your own platter and order whatever you want from the gf menu....remind the waitress not to put gravy on mashed potatoes if you order them and to write gf on your order. Food was delicious!!

Dog Adrenal Medulary Tumors
From Pet Health Learning Center
Dog Adrenal Medulary Tumors
Adrenal glands are tiny glands that are buried in the fat in front of a dog's kidneys. Their sole function is to regulate the use of specific hormones such as epinephrine, aldosterone and cortisol. These particular hormones interact with other hormones that support and influence other organs of the body. Each adrenal gland has 2 significant parts. One is the medulla and the other is the cortex. Both of these parts can become malignant.
What is the Risk for my dog getting adrenal medulary tumors?
The data that is available estimates that 0.17% to 0.76% of dogs, which includes merely one to two percent of tumors in dogs. Cancers in other organs rarely metastasize to the adrenal glands. Most commonly, Dog Lymphoma Cancer, sarcoma and Dog Hemangiosarcoma may spread to the adrenals.
Signs and Symptoms
Adrenal medulary tumors have a selection of nonspecific symptoms. It is diagnosed with immunohistochemistry. Some of these nonspecific symptoms are:
• Dog Anorexia which leads to Dog Weight Loss
• Panting
• Increased heart rate
Will my dog experience any Dog Pain?
Any dog with cancer should be on some type of pain medication. This will decrease the many discomforts that can be caused by the disease and/or the treatment.
What about diets for dogs with cancer?
If your dog contracts cancer, there are specific diets that are planned to support the patient with cancer and the symptoms that occur with the disease. Most dogs will suffer from a Dog Loss of Appetite when they contract any form of Dog Cancer. The treatments that are given can also cause difficulty with eating. Radiation can cause blisters in the mouth, chemo can cause nausea and if surgery is performed, healing is a slow process and there can be a decrease in appetite.
It is very important to maintain adequate nutrition for your dog. There are specific prescription diets for cancer dog patients as well. While voluntary eating is preferred, it may be difficult when your dog is ill. There are some appetite stimulating medications that can also be used. By increasing the appetite the potential is there to allow the dog to take in an adequate amount of calories.
In extreme conditions a feeding tube can be put in place. This is a tube that is placed either short term or long term. The tube is inserted through the dog's nose. During this period an Elizabethan collar will be ordered in order to prevent the dog from removing the tube or causing it to get out of the designated area.
If the treatment is long term, a tube can be placed into the esophagus (food tube), or into the stomach directly. This will be determined by your dogs' ability to digest the prescribed food. Intravenous feeding is also a possible necessity.
Treatment Options
The only treatment for this condition is surgery. If the dog has no metastasis, there is a good possibility of long term survival. However, it is also possible that metastasis can occur a long time after the surgery.

Steam is still coming to Linux with the Source Engine, which will immediately jump to the front, and Desura is also looking at possibly offering a Linux client too of its digital distribution system.
I am still amazed how sure you are about Steam coming to Linux, however if you go to desura.com you get a banner at the top saying they "are" working on a linux client and you can be notified. So I do see desura appear on linux before steam right now.
