I bought one of these for all the members of my family to start taking nutrition seriously. My son uses strawberries mangos kale and whey powder to make a nutritious drink every day. We have owned these blenders for over a year, use them daily, and they still work great.
Blender is very powerful and not too noisy. Quieter than many lower power blenders. It does an excellent job of blending anything I throw at it and the variable speed dial is great. It is also fairly easy to clean.
If you are on a budget and you need a good blender to do smoothies on a daily basis, this is the blender to get. You cant beat the price for the performance. The motor is strong. The body of the motor are ok quality. I was only looking for a good blender and a reasonable price to do my glowing green smoothies. This blender does the job!

NFL Game Summary - Arizona at St. Louis (Thursday, October 4th) Final Score: St. Louis 17, Arizona 3 St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Sam Bradford connected on a pair of touchdown passes and was aided by a stifling defense as the St. Louis Rams downed the Arizona Cardinals, 17-3. Bradford completed just 7-of-21 passes for 141 yards with an interception for St. Louis (3-2), which has won its last two games to push its record over the .500 mark for the first time since 2006. Robert Quinn collected three sacks to lead a defensive unit that racked up nine sacks of Arizona quarterback Kevin Kolb. "We knew it was going to be a hard day at work offensively, so our defense had to step up and they did," Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. Steven Jackson carried the ball 18 times for 76 yards, while Chris Givens and Lance Kendricks each caught a touchdown in the win. Kolb went 28-for-50 through the air for 289 yards for the Cardinals (4-1), who were dealt their first loss of the season. Larry Fitzgerald paced all receivers with eight receptions for 92 yards in defeat. "Not a very good effort by us tonight," Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "We had our chances, but we didn't capitalize on our opportunities." The Rams received the ball to start the game and wasted no time in getting on the board as Bradford hit Brandon Gibson for 14 yards on the first play of the drive before Danny Amendola made a one-handed grab deep down the left sideline for a 44-yard gain on the next snap. Faced with a 3rd-and-6 at the Arizona 7-yard line, Bradford scrambled to his left and hit Kendricks in the left side of the end zone for an early lead. Arizona answered with a 17-play drive that ate up over nine minutes of clock, but Kolb failed to connect with Early Doucet on a 3rd-and-8 and the Cardinals were forced to settle for Jay Feely's 35-yard field goal. St. Louis later took over on offense at the 50-yard line following a series of punts and Jackson's 12-yard rush set up a 53-yard kick by Greg Zuerlein with 10:45 left in the second quarter. After the teams again traded punts, the Cardinals marched down to the Rams 22, but Feely missed a 40-yard kick wide to the left, keeping it a 10-3 game at the half. Feely had made 19 straight field goals prior to the miss. Neither team was able to record a first down through the first three possessions of the third quarter until Jackson picked up a couple with four straight runs, collecting 28 yards to move the ball to the Arizona 29. Two runs by Daryl Richardson and another rush by Jackson brought St. Louis to the Cardinals 16-yard line, but the Rams did not come away with any points as Patrick Peterson intercepted a floating Bradford pass in the back of the end zone. Arizona did not capitalize on the turnover, though, and St. Louis took its next touch 89 yards on 10 plays to go on top, 17-3. The drive, which stretched into the fourth quarter, included runs of 16 yards by Richardson and 12 by Jackson before Bradford found Givens for a 51-yard touchdown deep down the left sideline with 11:49 remaining in the game. The Cardinals responded with a lengthy drive that moved as deep as the St. Louis 6, but an offensive pass interference penalty during a 3rd-and-3 pushed the ball back 10 yards and Fitzgerald could not force his way across the goal line on a short reception on fourth down, turning the ball over on downs with 5:25 left. Arizona regained the ball at the Rams 38 following a 26-yard punt return by Peterson, but the Cardinals managed just one first down and Kolb was sacked on a 4th-and-1 at the St. Louis 13. The Cardinals got one more shot to bring themselves back within a score after a three-and-out by St. Louis, but Quinn forced a Kolb fumble on the first play of the drive and recovered the ball himself, allowing the Rams to run out the rest of the game clock. "Even as bad as it went, we had a chance at the end of the game. If we scored a touchdown there we would have gotten back in it," Whisenhunt said. "Give the Rams a lot of credit. They did what they needed to do to win." Game Notes Amendola was forced to leave the game in the second quarter with a shoulder injury and did not return ... Richardson finished with 35 yards on nine carries ... James Laurinaitis, Cortland Finnegan, Jo-Lonn Dunbar, Bradley Fletcher, Chris Long and Jermell Cudjo each had a sack for the Rams ...The Cardinals recorded one sack in the game to snap a streak of 10 straight games with at least two sacks ... Arizona leads the all-time series between the teams, 33-32-2. 10/05 01:25:41 ET |

The Twelve Guardian Ninja (守護忍十二士, Shugonin Jūnishi, English TV: Guardian Shinobi Twelve, Literally meaning: Twelve Gentlemen Guardian Ninja) were a group of twelve elite warriors who had left their village and had pledged their lives to protect the Fire Daimyō. The members are identified by the kanji for "Fire" (火, Hi) marked on the waist-sashes they wear.[1]
A group which was formed before the start of the story, the Twelve Guardian Ninja have for a long time protected the daimyō. All the original members are dead, but the group continues to operate. About ten years before the start of the series, half of the original members began to believe that only the daimyō should lead the Land of Fire. To that end they planned a coup d'etat against the Hokage, and planned to later conquer the rest of the countries. Kazuma tried to remove the daimyō to replace him with a puppet daimyō, as the current daimyō didn't support the revolt,[2] but he was stopped by Asuma before he could do so. The different ideals split the group in two, which led to a fight between them that only Asuma Sarutobi, Kazuma, and Chiriku survived. It would seem that, sometime before the group was disbanded, some underground organization put a bounty on most of the members' heads.[3]
In the anime, Kazuma tried once again to destroy the Hokage and Konoha by resurrecting the four fallen loyal guardians. However, Asuma was able to stop and kill him. Chiriku was killed soon afterwards by Hidan and Kakuzu of Akatsuki, in order to collect the bounty on his head. Once they had collected the 30 million ryō they were confronted by Asuma. After a prolonged battle, Asuma was killed too, but they were unable to cash-in on his 35 million bounty after Asuma's reinforcements arrived.
Potential Members
- Shikamaru Nara: In the anime, he received an invitation from the daimyō of the Land of Fire to become one of his guards, which could have led to later becoming a member of the elite Twelve Guardian Ninja. He refused however, saying that he would rather stay in Konoha and protect his friends.[4]

Transillumination is the shining of a light through a body area or organ.
The room lights are dimmed or turned off so that the appropriate part of the body may be seen more easily. A bright light is then pointed at a location on the body, typically the head, scrotum, chest of a premature or newborn infant, or breast of an adult female.
Transillumination is also sometimes used to find blood vessels.
No preparation is necessary for this test.
There is no discomfort associated with this test.
This test may be done along with other tests to diagnose:
In newborns, a bright halogen light may be used to transilluminate the chest cavity if there are signs of a collapsed lung or air around the heart. (Transillumination through the chest is only possible on small newborns.)
Normal findings depend on the area being evaluated, and the normal tissue of that region.
Areas filled with abnormal air or fluid will light up when they should not. For example, in a darkened room, the head of a newborn with possible hydrocephalus will light up when this procedure is done.
When done on the breast:
There are no risks associated with this test.
In general, transillumination is not a particularly good test for any of these above-mentioned disorders, and further tests, such as an x-ray or ultrasound, are needed to confirm the diagnosis.

Whether you are a resource that deploys through EMAC or you are in state or local government, you can learning about EMAC through our eLearning Center at your own desk.
You can take breaks, came back between modules and start where you left off to continue.
Register for your EMAC account then, visit the eLearning Center to start today.
Visit the document library or use the site search.
NEMA is very proud to release the first-ever report tracing the history of EMAC and its impact on national mutual aid policy and operations. A state driven solution, EMAC stands as a tested and proven success story and an example of what determined individuals can accomplish when working together to make a difference for the nation.
EMAC's implementation and capabilities have matured through member-driven action and responsiveness to lessons learned. In the past decade, NEMA has used Federal Emergency Management Agency funding to develop new EMAC capability, and standardize and institutionalize processes, help to transform what began as a concept—namely, neighbors helping neighbors in times of crises—into an effective system for interstate mutual aid.
EMAC allows the nation to leverage the billions of dollars spent to increase capability across the United States, providing the key mechanism to build capability as a nation, as opposed to individual jurisdictions. In the process, EMAC has influenced other mutual aid efforts, including intrastate and cross-border mutual aid.
The History of EMAC takes you through the most significant events that influenced the creation and evolution of EMAC and how it was used to meet some of the nation's largest response challenges.
Download the report
NEMA would like to thank CNA for their assistance in the development of the report. Their ability to objectively examine and analyze over twenty years of facts, figures and events over the course of a few months was outstanding. We would also like to thank the individuals who were interviewed for additional background and perspective on EMAC's history: Albert Ashwood, Hon. George Foresman, Hon. Craig Fugate, Doug Hoell, Jack Jowett, Frank Koutnik, Tim Lowenberg, Jeff Phillips, Leon Shaifer, Mike Sherberger, and Greg Wilz. NEMA also gratefully acknowledges funding support from FEMA.

Dashcam video shows attack on Ohio police who killed gunman
Story by Matthew Skrajner, Digital First Media
Middlefield police have released the dashcam footage of the deadly March 10 officer-involved shooting in which a Mentor-on-the-Lake man was killed and two officers were injured.
The nearly 21/2 minute video begins by showing Officers Brandon Savage and Erin Thomas driving southbound at about 5:55 p.m. on Route 608, when a green Saturn failed to stop at the intersection of 608 and East High Street.
The officers made a traffic stop a short distance north of the intersection. As the officers prepared to approach the vehicle, the video appears to show the officers discussing movement in the Saturn.
"He's hiding something," Thomas can be heard saying.
Sitting in the passenger seat, she then exited the cruiser and circled back behind it to the driver side. Savage remained in the driver seat.
Before Thomas reached the front bumper of the cruiser, James Gilkerson, 42, quickly exited his vehicle and began firing on the officers with a FEG 7.62x39, commonly referred to as a AK-47 style semi-automatic rifle. About 45 seconds elapsed from when Gilkerson stopped his vehicle to when he exited and began firing.
Gilkerson can then be seen moving away from his vehicle out farther into the middle of 608 and toward the police cruiser. After being hit by shots from Savage, Gilkerson moves back toward the Saturn repeatedly yelling, "Kill me."
As Gilkerson drops to one knee still pointing his gun at the officers, Savage asks Thomas, "Are you hit?"
"Yes," Thomas said. "You cover, I'll call dispatch."
Savage then returned fire, hitting Gilkerson multiple times. He was pronounced dead at the scene with a total of 19 wounds. One in the head and one in the chest are believed to be the fatal wounds. Nine bullets removed from Gilkerson's body came from Savage's weapon.
The shootout lasted about 26 seconds. All told, Savage fired 29 rounds, Thomas 17 rounds and Gilkerson 33 rounds.
On April 26, Geauga County Prosecutor James Flaiz concluded both Savage and Thomas were "in imminent danger of great bodily harm or death... the only reasonable recourse for both officers was to use their firearms in self defense."
On Friday, in the council chambers in Middlefield, Police Chief Arnold Stanko said Savage, who had shrapnel injuries to multiple parts of his body, has since returned to work.
Thomas, who lost her left index finger, is recovering and is likely facing a second surgery.
Police still do not have a definitive motive behind the shooting, but Stanko did not call it a suicide by cop, noting Gilkerson did not yell "Kill me" until after he was shot.
"He got out of the car to kill my officers. That was his intent," the chief said. "However, the officers got the better of him."
The department also displayed other items found in Gilkerson's car, including multiple containers of gun powder, eight 40-round magazines, a black ski mask, black leather gloves and a .22 caliber rifle with a scope.
"What he was going to do with this? We don't have any idea," Stanko said. "My officers were outgunned. We only had 9 millimeters and he had an AK-47."
While stopping short of saying these types of guns should be outlawed, the chief did say there was not really any practical use for them.
"They're designed for mass destruction. Period. They're designed to kill people and annihilate people," he said.
Also in the vehicle were numerous instructional books and DVDs, covering topics ranging from acquiring new identification, homemade weapons, backyard rocketry and combat tactics.
With the gunman surprising the officers, Stanko said they were saved by their training, tactics and the grace of God.
"This is about two police officers that were shot and a scumbag that's dead and gone, and he can't hurt nobody else no more," he said.

My family and I are considering moving to Delaware because it's hard to afford the cost of living in NJ now. The taxes are close to $9,000.00. I look at Delaware and the taxes are only $500 annually. This is a huge difference.
I don't see what we really get for our taxes here in NJ but was curious why the taxes are so low there. Could any people from Delaware explain why the taxes are lower? Are the schools good in Delaware? Are the schools run at the state level instead of the local level?
Also, we are looking at living in a Coastal town there but didn't want to just have summer people or old retired people for neighbors. Are there any beach towns there with a high population of annual people that have kids? We looked at Rehoboth but it seems like it's mainly tourists and can get quite busy with the boardwalk.
Feel free to pm me if you don't want to post the information on the forum. Also, don't worry I will always respect locals in the area and I know my place in a lineup.

Story highlights
- Michael Connelly brings back hard-boiled detective Harry Bosch in "The Black Box"
- Eliot Pattison chronicles mysterious investigator Shan Tao Yun in "Mandarin Gate"
- "City of Dark Magic" by Magnus Flyte is a genre-busting novel of magic and mystery
- "Cold Days" is Jim Butcher's 14th novel featuring the popular Harry Dresden character
Some of the biggest names in publishing and many of the most eagerly anticipated titles of the year are hitting bookstore shelves just in time for the holiday shopping season. So if you're searching for a gift for a loved one or just looking for a good book to curl up with on the couch, here are four novels out this week for anyone looking for a page load of thrills.
Michael Connelly, "The Black Box"
Michael Connelly has been a favorite among crime fiction fans for two decades. His books have sold 45 million copies worldwide, and he's won every award given to mystery writers. This year, he celebrates a major milestone: the publication of his 25th novel in 20 years. "The Black Box" features Connelly's best known character, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch, back on the case.
This time out, Bosch is tracking down a killer in a 20-year-old unsolved murder. The victim is a young female photojournalist shot during the infamous 1992 Los Angeles riots. At first, Bosch has little to go on beyond a shell casing from the missing murder weapon. But the determined detective continues to dig, searching for the so-called black box of the title, the one piece of evidence that brings the crime into focus and pulls the case together. Connelly's plot is packed with procedural detail but moves quickly, taking several unexpected turns along the way. And while he's grown older, Bosch hasn't slowed down; he continues to grow more interesting and reveal new levels of depth behind his badge.
With the case coming to a climax, Bosch is forced to battle the bureaucracy of the LAPD as well as the bad guys, but readers won't be disappointed as Connelly proves again that neither he nor Bosch has lost his touch.

Eliot Pattison, "Mandarin Gate"
At first glance, Inspector Shan Tao Yun of Eliot Pattison's latest, "Mandarin Gate," couldn't be more different from Harry Bosch. He's a former police inspector from Beijing who lost his job, his family and his freedom after pursuing a case that implicated high-ranking members of China's communist regime. As punishment, Shan was sentenced to years of hard labor in a Tibetan work camp.
Now, in Pattison's seventh novel featuring Shan, the former inspector has been unofficially released but is still unable to return to his former home. A man without a country and no official identity, he's forced to take shelter with a group of outlawed Buddhist monks in the remote mountains. Working a menial job as a ditch inspector, he stumbles across a gruesome crime scene: Three people, including a Tibetan nun, have been murdered at an old Buddhist temple.
Like Harry Bosch, Shan is a man of passion and principle; the murders reignite old instincts, and Shan begins a dangerous search for the truth. His investigation quickly uncovers what could be a coverup by Chinese authorities, and Shan knows that solving the case could land him right back in prison.
The Edgar award-winning Pattison portrays the oppression of the Tibetan people with dramatic delicacy and rich insight. While "Mandarin Gate" is set in a locale farther away than most readers will ever dare venture, this mystery brings the plight of Tibet into sharp focus, weaving the region's cultural, social and political conflict into a compelling narrative.

"City of Dark Magic" by Magnus Flyte
The genre-bending "City of Dark Magic" is difficult to describe, and that's a good thing. An entertaining mix of magic, mystery and romance, it's one of the most original novels released this year.
Musicologist and Beethoven expert Sarah Weston receives an unexpected invitation to travel to Prague, where she spends the summer working for a wealthy family, researching and cataloging the world-famous composer's manuscripts at their private museum. Soon after she arrives, strange things start to happen. Weston discovers that her academic mentor may have been murdered, and she uncovers a mystery that reaches all the way back to the 16th century.
To reveal much more would spoil the fun, but author Magnus Flyte, a pseudonym for authors Meg Howrey and Christina Lynch, has taken the "kitchen sink" approach to the plot. The authors packed their debut novel with page after page of unexpected twists. There's an ex-CIA agent, a handsome prince, a Cold War-era plot, time travel, hell portals and a 400-year-old dwarf with an attitude. Prague, with its rich, mysterious history, is the perfect backdrop for the story. Fans of classical music will appreciate the trivia-like detail on Beethoven and the search for his "Immortal Beloved."
This all may sound a bit scattered, but Weston is an appealing heroine, and the over-the-top story doesn't take itself too seriously. Howrey and Lynch say they wrote the book via e-mail, alternating chapters, and it certainly reads like they had a good time putting it together, even leaving the door open for a sequel.

"Cold Days" by Jim Butcher
There's much more magic in Jim Butcher's newest, "Cold Days." This is his 14th novel featuring the immensely popular Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard and private investigator. Equal parts Sam Spade and Gandalf the Grey, Harry is dead at the beginning of the book -- mostly, anyway.
Wait, what?
Fans needn't worry. Although Harry was murdered in the last installment of the best-selling series, he is brought back to life by a powerful being called Mab, Queen of Air and Darkness. Now, Harry is no longer a mere mortal; he has become the Winter Knight, with a slew of newfound powers. The catch? Harry is indebted to Mab, eternally. Her word is his command, literally, and what she has planned for him makes death look like a holiday.
While the story could be classified as pure fantasy, written from Harry's wisecracking point of view, the book is thrilling fun and, like "City of Dark Magic," not too self-important. For readers searching for something different, "Cold Days" will cast a spell over many who might not typically opt for a fantasy title.

NH delays enforcing liquor warehouse pact
"The Key Performance Indicators shall apply as of Nov. 1," the contract states. Based on ballpark figures from previous years, Exel might have incurred damages in the tens of thousands of dollars.
"My feeling is this was a huge undertaking and we expected that it would take time to normalize the processes to the extent that everything was working smoothly," he said. "In 20/20 hindsight, we might have said the KPI process and some of the other issues should have been held in abeyance for three months or four months until things were normalized and they (Exel) had an opportunity to get things straight."
The decision by the NHLC to forgo its own contract requirements leaves the state with a limited record of Exel's performance in the first tumultuous months of the transition, beyond emails and notes from telephone conversations which, according to Bulkley, were substantive and frequent.
The anecdotal record is replete with complaints from restaurants, distributors and other players in the wine and liquor business in the first months after the transition from Law Warehouses, which had held the contract for decades.
Executive Councilor Chris Pappas, D-Manchester, is in the unusual position of viewing the transition to Exel as both a licensee and as an elected official with an eye on state contracts.
He was not entirely comfortable, however, with the fact that contract provisions are being enforced selectively. The Exel contract was not subject to Executive Council review, though the state Legislature later changed the law to make sure that future NHLC contracts go before the council for approval.

There are no translations available. Calendula Officinalis - The Essential FeaturesIndex1. Calendula Officinalis - The Essential Features
CALENDULA OFFICINALISCalendula officinalis. The Marigold. N.O. Compositae. Tincture of leaves and flowers. THE ESSENTIAL FEATURESCalendula is to lacerated wounds what Arnica is to bruises. Both are considered specifics for injuries (as are Ledum, Bellis perennis and some others). When the skin or an organ is not torn and the external trauma only produces an extravasation of blood, then Arnica will be indicated. However, when there is laceration of the skin or of an organ and inflammation sets in, the correct choice is Calendula; yet this is not always the case, as the injuries have to have additional Calendula characteristics if the remedy is to be effective. An important characteristic of Calendula is that once there is an injury, inflammation or ulceration, the pain experienced may be very violent, often out of all proportion to the extent of the injury. Also the effect on the general condition of the patient is quite distressing; general weakness which, again, may be much more debilitating than could be expected given the severity of the wound or the ulcer. Exhaustion may also come from profuse loss of blood from the injured part, or from inflammation with exhausting suppuration and threatening sepsis; but weakness and pain will also be excessive even if the wound is not so severe. During these states of intense pain and weakness, the patient may feel nauseous, as well as suffer other consequences from physical trauma. Chill is a marked feature, and many symptoms occur during chill, as the proving showed; fever and headache may also follow the injury. Calendula is indicated in cases of injuries of the muscles and tendons (where usually Bryonia and Rhus toxicodendron are given) and where there is intense inflammation and the symptoms look like Bry., but Bry. does not help. The pain will be worse on moving the part and relieved by lying perfectly still. The injured part is sensitive to touch and the wound is painful even after being dressed. However, in Calendula we may also see an amelioration from walking about, and also an aggravation from wet weather (like Rhus-t) with pain coming in paroxysms as in Lachesis. The constitutional state of Calendula shows an individual with lowered defences, who catches colds frequently, gets tired easily - mentally, emotionally and physically - feels extremely nervous, irritable, fretful, is easily frightened, is very sensitive to noises, and starts from them. The patient gives you the impression of being a weak and frightened individual. Every difficult situation and every stress brings about a state of panic. A fear that something bad is going to happen (as in Causticum or Phosphorus) prevails, a 'feeling as if some overwhelming calamity was hovering over me as to be almost unbearable', as one prover put it, and this fear makes the patient very restless. These people are very touchy individuals who react with irritability and fretfulness if they are criticised or insulted. A morose and fretful mood may be coupled with anxiety and apprehension, especially during a chill, but also with a sleepy, dream-like state. The mental pain of anguish and despair is so acute that it may become totally intolerable, such that the individual may eventually reach a state of indifference and may even seem callous. (It is interesting to note here that Calendula has been used successfully in cases where the skin of the hands and / or the soles of the feet were thickened, hard, and calloused).
In injuries, Calendula (in external application, but also per os) promotes healthy granulation tissue and rapid healing, with favourable cicatrization and without disfiguring scars. This tendency to produce granulation has led to its use in cases of excessive 'proud flesh', cicatricial keloids and true keloids. This is especially true when cicatricial tissue is found on the tympanum and impedes the hearing. Cooper has shown that Calendula is one of the best remedies in loss of hearing, deafness from 'proud flesh' or cicatricial tissue on the tympanum, even if there is no actual injury to this part, but only a concussion of the head or some such causation. He also used it with success in cases where there was a history of suppressed skin eruptions. His main modalities were deafness worse in damp weather and from drinking.
Generalities This remedy is useful for inflammations due to mechanical trauma (ophthalmia, etc.), neuritis as a result of lacerated wounds and also after surgical operations, or after rupture of the perineum in childbirth. Clarke remarks that 'the application of a sponge saturated with a hot solution of Calendula after delivery gives the greatest comfort to the patient.' It can be used when wounds from dental operations (extraction of teeth, etc.) do not heal readily and continue to haemorrhage. Its remarkable power to prevent suppuration, sepsis and gangrene has often been confirmed. Boericke praises its 'remarkable power to produce local exudation' and says that it 'helps to make acrid discharge healthy and free.' Bloody and serous infiltration of cellular tissues in open wounds and ulcers (sugillations, suffusions) is also considered as an important indication. It acts very promptly in some cases of carbuncles, subduing pain and fever. It has cured bad or excessive cicatrization, keloids, superfluous 'proud flesh', weakness and other consequences from badly healed injuries or ulcers. Other indications on which Calendula was given with good results include: paralysis after apoplexy; rheumatism which is worse from motion; chronic vomiting; disturbed menses, especially suppressed menses and ailments from it; and more. 'Applied externally and as a fomentation, particularly the flowers are said to...relieve headaches and toothache' (Hahnemann's Dispensary Dictionary). A general feature is a strong tendency to catch colds, especially in damp weather, and a tendency towards catarrhal conditions. Calendula is most commonly applied externally as a solution, but it has also been used orally (in tincture or potency), either without external application or in order to support its external application. Head Lacerated scalp wounds. Compound skull fractures. Dullness in the head, as if he had a hangover. Heaviness of the head in the morning, as after prolonged illness. Dull, pressing sensation, especially in the occiput. Frontal headache after eating, with a sensation of heat in the forehead. Flushes of heat in the forehead, in the evenings.
Nose and Face
Mouth and Throat
Urinary Organs
Genitalia – Male
Genitalia – Female
Chest Cough with hoarseness, green expectoration; with distension of the inguinal ring. Pressure and oppression on the left side of the chest, during the evening in bed. i
Neck and Back
Fever Skin Dermic thickening, callous, especially on the backs of the hands or the soles of the feet. A yellow tint to the skin; jaundice. Old, neglected wounds which become offensive. Keloids.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), also known as brittle-bone disease, is a genetic (inherited) disorder characterized by bones that break easily without a specific cause. An estimated 20,000 to 50,000 people in the U.S. have this disease. OI can affect males and females of all races.
The cause of OI is believed to be due to a genetic defect that causes imperfectly-formed, or an inadequate amount of, bone collagen--a protein found in the connective tissue.
Previously, there were considered to be four types of OI. Research has now shown that there are eight specific types of the disease. Types 2, 3, 7, and 8 are the most severe types. Type 1 OI is the mildest. And types 4, 5, and 6 are moderate in severity.
Symptoms of OI include:
Easily fractured bones
Bone deformities, such as bowing of the legs, due to multiple fractures and poor fracture healing
Discoloration of the sclera of the eye. This normally white tissue may be blue or gray in people with OI.
A barrel-shaped chest
A curved spine
A triangular-shaped face
Loose joints
Muscle weakness
Hearing loss in early adulthood
Brittle teeth
The symptoms of osteogenesis imperfecta may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for osteogenesis imperfecta may include a skin biopsy to evaluate the amount and structure of collagen. However, this test is complicated and not many qualified facilities are available to perform the procedure. It is not unusual for results of the biopsy to take up to six months.
Additional diagnostic tests may include:
X-ray. A diagnostic test that uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
An examination of the ear, nose, and throat (to detect hearing loss)
Specific treatment for osteogenesis imperfecta will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the disease
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
To date, there is no known treatment, medicine, or surgery that will cure OI. The goal of treatment is to prevent deformities and fractures and allow the child to function as independently as possible. Treatments for preventing or correcting symptoms may include:
Care of fractures
Rodding. A procedure to insert a metal bar the length of a long bone to stabilize it and prevent deformity.
Dental procedures
Physical therapy
Assistive devices, such as wheelchairs, braces, and other custom-made equipment
Management of the disease includes focusing on preventing or minimizing deformities, and maximizing the individual's functional ability at home and in the community. Management of OI is either nonsurgical or surgical. Nonsurgical interventions may include one or more of the following:
Positioning aids to help sit, lie, or stand
Braces and splints to prevent deformity and provide support or protection
Psychological counseling
Surgical interventions may be considered to manage the following conditions:
Bowing of bone
Scoliosis. A lateral, or sideways curvature and rotation of the back bones (vertebrae), giving the appearance that the person is leaning to one side.
Heart problems
Surgery may also be considered to maintain the ability to sit or stand.
OI is a progressive condition that needs lifelong management to prevent deformity and complications. The interdisciplinary health care team helps the family to improve the functional outcomes and to provide support. The Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation can also be an important resource.

In a few weeks you may be asked by Government to contribute to Consultation looking into the future of aviation for the UK. You may be told that the UK is losing out to its competitors because it doesn't have sufficient capacity to cope with the every increasing demand for air travel or to fly China or Brazil or to some other emerging economy. You may also be told that building a new airport will bring Prosperity, Jobs and wealth to the South East of England.
You may be asked to comment about expanding airport capacity or to make better use of the existing airport capacity. Perhaps you might think of suggesting Manston or Northholt or Farnborough.
Spare a thought for the communities surrounding other airports and ask yourself, would you want expansion if you lived there, before you suggest it would be a better place to expand or build an airport !
You may be asked if the UK needs a new airport somewhere in the Greater Thames Estuary.
The Greater Thames Estuary is one of two most important wetland sites in the whole of the UK. Lying directly under a major Northern Hemisphere migratory route it channels around 350,000 wintering wildfowl and waders south from Siberia and the Arctic Circle. The Estuary provides a vital feeding stop before they travel down the coast of Europe to West Africa and beyond to escape the winter freeze before returning home again and the end of winter to breed in the food rich arctic circle.
Many birds such as the Avocet, Heron and Little Egret live and breed in the Estuary and can be seen feeding on the mud flats around the coast line of the Hoo Peninsula and South Essex.
In 2002 the Government conducted a specific consultation about building an airport at Cliffe. The findings were published in 2004 and concluded the project would be too expensive and too dangerous as there was a 12 times higher likelihood of bird strike than any other major UK airport.
The option of Cliffe as a site for an airport was no different than the options being put forward today except perhaps they have been repositioned. Then hundreds of thousands of concerned people from across the UK and around the world stepped up for nature and this special place we call the Greater Thames Estuary and said NO

Styrofoam n quickcrete rocks help/ideas?
Hello everyone I'm fairly new to this site and haven't posted anything yet just read posts and learned from them. I have to say, I have alot of books on aquariums and everything that goes along with them and I find much more useful info here in the forums.
So anyways I want to set up a cichlid tank using styrofoam and quickcrete to make a nice light and easily attachable and stackable rock structure with plenty of caves, holes, and many nooks and crannies for hiding and natural behavior with no stress to the fish. Would also like to breed them, ( some kind of mouth brooder would be interesting) just not sure which species yet though. I already have a 28 bow front that I might use but if money permits I'm going to buy a 46 gal bow. I searched throughout the net and can only find instructions on materials used for DIY backgrounds, which I know is very similar to what I want to do, but I was wondering if anyone that's done this bfore had any problems I can b warned about ahead of time, and also the best materials on a budget, is there anykind of non-toxic paint that I can use in an underwater environment like this, what's the best and cheapest silicone I can use, aquarium silicone is expensive and I know I'll need a couple of tubes probably to be able to properly secure everything. Also if anyone knows any kind of mouth brooder that around 3 inches where I can keep either 2 pairs of the same species or a pair each of separate species without any problems, or a harem of a male to 2-3 females in my 28 bow front. And if I can afford the 46 gal bow front stocking the same type of fish with either a little bigger fish or another pair. I plan on making this rock structure suitable for the Max stocking level where there will hopefully not be any problems because I want to disrupt the sight lines and break up the space into separate territories. I know I kinda just rambled on a little bit lol but if anyone can help me with any of my questions I would greatly appreciate it, or if anyone knows any links that would show me the materials and/ or any good ideas for an awesome fake DIY and fairly cheap rock structure. Thanks everybody in advance for any feedback and help. Dave

The compressor plays a vital role in the air conditioning system. Its primary function is to pump the liquid refrigerant from the evaporator to the condenser. It is known as the heart of the air conditioning system. It controls both the high pressure and low pressure areas of the A/C system. It is powered by the engine by an attached belt. Working in a closed loop system, it transfers the refrigerant to the expansion valve and back to the evaporator.

Proposal for a Federal Milk Marketing Order for California

Blog: Super Bowl "Super Kid" Promotes Exercise, Healthy Eating
Minutes before the National Football League (NFL) teams of Super Bowl XLIX took the field, a middle school student from Orlando, Fla., had the honor of handing the game ball to an NFL official for the kickoff. But Bobby did much more than hand off that football. As this year's NFL Play 60 "Super Kid," the 12-year-old boy helped to inspire students across America to exercise daily and eat healthier foods. He accomplished this feat through his relentless work with the Fuel Up to Play 60 (FUTP60) program, an outreach and education initiative founded by the National Dairy Council and the NFL, in collaboration with USDA.

Blog: USDA Keeps Dairy Products Flowing to Morroco
U.S. agricultural exports continue to be a bright spot for America's economy, worth a record $152.5 billion in fiscal year 2014. That's why USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) and its sister agencies work so hard to keep these export markets open. So in 2011, when Morocco requested that USDA use a new dairy export certificate that we could not endorse, we launched into action. Our goal was to protect an export market worth $126 million annually while preserving our close relationship with a valued trading partner.

Dells athletes earn keep at Dakota Relays
Dell Rapids' Cole Langer proved he is among the best shot putters in South Dakota Saturday at the Howard Wood Dakota Relays when he output a host of athletes also eyeing a state championship.Langer's toss of 59 feet 5 inches was three feet better than his next closest competitor – Hamlin senior and highly-ranked Class A shot putter Mason Leiseth."I started off kind of slow, but my last (put) was my best one so I'm happy with that," Langer said.Langer wasn't the only strong performer for Dell Rapids at Howard Wood Field last weekend. In the 800-meter relay, the Quarriers earned a third place finish with a time of 1:34.24, and Brett Nichols finished fourth in the long jump with a jump of 20-2.75. Spencer Kerzman made the top-eight in the high jump with a 5-10. On the girls' side of the action, Dell Rapids saw another quality outing from Maddie Vietor and Cassidy Wright.Wright earned a fourth place finish in the discus with a toss of 123-11. Vietor finished eighth in the long jump with a jump of 16-4.25.Cold and wet weather cut the evening events from the Saturday's activities."The cold definitely affected things more than it being wet." Langer said. "You could tell everybody was cold."

I made this delicious stew in a few minutes in my pressure cooker, but you can make it in a regular pan. |
(For Phase One Fridays I highlight Phase One recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites. I first made this delicious pressure cooker stew back in 2009, and my friend Barbara's fantastic new pressure cooker blog is inspiring me to get going on some new recipes for the pressure cooker!)
This delightful stew with pinto beans, ground beef, and cilantro is something I had for lunch three days in a row, and I completely enjoyed it each time. If you're not a pressure cooker convert, read after the recipe to see how the stew can be made in a regular pot on the stove, but obviously it's much quicker in the pressure cooker. By the way, if anyone looked at that photo and thought about chili, there's no chili powder in this, so it's definitely not chili! Actually cilantro is the predominant flavor here, so if you're one of those poor cilantro-impaired folks, maybe you'll want to search for a different stew recipe!
Pressure Cooker Recipe for Pinto Bean and Beef Soup with Cumin and Cilantro
(Makes about 6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn.)
I made this in my 3.7 quart Kuhn Rikor pressure cooker. You could use a slightly bigger model.
1 cup dried pinto beans, unsoaked (or can use 2 cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained)
about 2 T olive oil, divided (will depend on your pan)
1 lb. low-fat ground beef (I use ground beef with less than 10% fat)
1 tsp. Spike seasoning
1 onion, chopped
1 T minced garlic
2 tsp. dried Mexican oregano
1 T ground cumin
1 T dried cilantro (optional, but recommended)
3 cups homemade chicken stock (or can use 2 cans chicken broth and reduce slightly to 3 cups)
1 cup liquid from pressure cooking beans (or 1 cup water)
2 T tomato paste
1 can (14.5 oz.) petite diced tomatoes
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (or more)
2 T fresh squeezed lime juice
While beans are cooking, heat 2 tsp. olive oil in large heavy frying pan, add ground beef and season with Spike seasoning, then saute until beef is well-browned, breaking apart with back of the turner as it cooks. When it's well browned, remove beef to a bowl.
Heat 2 tsp. more olive oil in frying pan, then add onion and saute about 5 minutes, or until onion is starting to brown. Add minced garlic and saute 2 minutes more, then add Mexican oregano, cumin, and dried cilantro and saute about 2 minutes more.
When beans have finished cooking and been drained into a colander, add cooked ground beef to pressure cooker, followed by onion/garlic/herb mixture. Add chicken stock to frying pan and simmer a minute, scraping off any browned bits and adding that liquid to pressure cooker, along with 1 cup reserved bean cooking liquid (or water, if using canned beans.) Add beans, tomato paste and can of tomaotes to pressure cooker.
Lock lid and pressure cook for 2 minutes at high pressure. (Start to time after high pressure is reached.) Turn off heat and let pressure release naturally, about 15 minutes. When pressure is released, add sliced green onion, chopped fresh cilantro, and lime juice, turn heat on and cook with lid off for about 5 minutes. Serve hot, with additional chopped cilantro to add at the table if desired.
How to Cook in a regular soup pot on the stove:
For canned beans, rinse and drain as described above. To use dried beans, you will need to soak beans overnight, drain, add fresh water to cover by a few inches and simmer until beans are soft, about 45 minutes. Follow directions as above for browning meat, browning onions with garlic and herbs, and deglazing frying pan with chicken stock. Combine browned meat, onion mixture, chicken stock, water, cooked beans, tomato paste, and canned tomatoes in heavy soup pot, adding 1 cup more chicken stock for cooking in open pan. Simmer over low heat about 45 minutes, adding a bit more water if needed. When stew seems done, add green onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice as above and cook a few more minutes.
South Beach Suggestions:
South Beach Suggestions:
As long as you use lean ground beef, everything in this recipe is approved for all phases of the South Beach Diet. Beans are a limited food for Phase One, but in a stew like this with lots of other low-glycemic ingredients, you can have a regular serving.
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.

Can the Internet support constructionist, project-based learning? In my newer work, I also focus on the products of online collaboration as ends in themselves. Working together, people can create new kinds of products that were not previously possible. How do we support them in this creative process, and what new kinds of collaborations might be possible? How do interaction patterns shape the final product? How do software features shape interaction patterns? How does Wikipedia really work, and why do people contribute to it? These perspectives of process and product are mutually reinforcing--people return to create new content because doing so is fulfilling to them in some way. Affiliations
