Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of joints, tendons, skin, blood vessels and other connective tissue, and organs. SLE causes the immune system to produce antibodies that attack the body's healthy cells and tissue. Of all the forms of lupus, SLE is the most common and most well-known.
The cause of SLE is unknown. It is likely due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Risk Factors
SLE is more common in women aged 20-45 years old. It is also more common in people of African American, Native American, and Hispanic descent.
Other factors that increase your chance of developing SLE include:
- Family history
- Celiac disease
Symptoms can be mild or very severe. For some people, only part of the body, such as skin, is affected. For others, many parts are affected. Though symptoms can be chronic, they can flare up and get better on and off.
Common symptoms may include:
- Extreme fatigue
- Swollen and/or painful joints
- Fever without signs of infection
- Skin rashes over areas exposed to sunlight, especially butterfly shaped rash over the nose and cheeks
Other symptoms may depend on the area of the body that is affected:
- Affected skin may become sensitive to light, have hives or red or purple rashes, or have hair loss
- Affected muscles may become stiff and weak
- Affected stomach and intestines may cause nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain
- Affected brain and nerves may lead to psychiatric disorders, such as depression, seizures, and nerve pain and numbness
SLE may cause complications during pregnancy. There may be a flare-up of symptoms, kidney problems, or pre-eclampsia . There is also an increased risk of premature birth , stillbirth , miscarriage , or growth problems wiht the baby during pregnancy.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Diagnosis is based on your signs and symptoms. Your doctor will also rule out other health conditions that have symptoms similar to SLE. It may take some time to gather all the necessary information for a diagnosis.
Some tests include:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Imaging is done with an MRI
SLE is not curable, but it can be managed with medications and lifestyle changes. You may also need treatment for issues caused by SLE.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options depend on your symptoms.
There are many different kinds of medications that are used to treat SLE. Examples include:
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Antimalarial drugs
- Corticosteroids
- Drugs to suppress the immune system
- B-cell therapy
Your doctor may recommend that you take a combination of medications.
Preventing Flare-ups
Some lifestyle changes can help you prevent flare-ups of SLE. Work with your doctor to create a plan for your symptoms. Some steps may include:
- Learn the signs of a flare-up and contact your doctor as soon as possible
- Get immediate treatment for any cuts or infections
- Manage symptoms for other chronic conditions caused by SLE
- Avoid sun exposure
- If you smoke, learn how to quit
- Eat a healthy diet
- Limit emotional stress
- Get enough rest
- Exercise regularly, with your doctor's permission
Chronic Care
Chronic conditions liks SLE are best managed with strong communication between you and your health team. Make sure to go to all appointments as recommended. Let your doctor know about any changes in your health or care program.
Depression in people with chronic health conditions like SLE is common, emotional support is important. Surround yourself with supportive family and friends. If you are still having problems, consider counseling or joining a support group.

France's president Francois Hollande arrives to give a speech focused... News PhotoArrival,France,François Hollande,Giving,Government,Mali,One Person,Palace,Paris - France,People,Politics,President,Speech,VerticalPhotographer LIONEL BONAVENTURECollection: AFP 2013 AFPFrance's president Francois Hollande arrives to give a speech focused on the Malian situation, on January 12, 2013 at the Elysee presidential palace in Paris. Backed by French air power, Malian troops on January 11, 2013 unleashed an offensive against Islamist rebels who, having seized control of the north of the country in March last year, were threatening to push south. France has asked the United Nations to 'accelerate' implementation of a resolution that enables the deployment of an international force to Mali.

Many SMBs and SOHOs are walking away from their traditional phone companies and moving to the Internet for their telephony needs. In tech jargon, they're switching from POTS ("plain old telephone service") to Voice over IP (VoIP, pronounced as one word). Read on to find out what it is, why you should use it, and what to watch out for.
VoIP lets you make phone calls over the Internet with a number of advantages over your landline. It gives you low calling rates, especially when making overseas calls; excellent voice quality, rather than the muffled squawk of a traditional phone; and extra features (or easy access to the hard-to-use features you already have).
A phone using VoIP is different from a regular phone; instead of connecting to an analog phone line, it connects to a computer. That computer is usually called a VoIP gateway, and it's the bridge between the handset and other telephone users.
The gateway connects you to the regular telephone network, or to other VoIP users. Your gateway might be on-site, or it might be a hosted service—"in the cloud"—that you connect to via the Internet.
Running it yourself might be a good option if you have the expertise in-house, but for most people, a service is the simplest and least expensive option.
Classical VoIP is based on Internet standards like SIP and RTP. The best-known example of a commercial service like this is Vonage; the best-known in-house product is probably the Cisco UCM Suite.
Some newer systems are based on a different standard, called Asterisk. This is a robust, battle-tested system supported by many vendors, including Fonality.
(Normally, you can ignore all this nerdy alphabet soup, but it's helpful to know which standards your system uses, in case you ever need to know about compatible add-ons.)
No discussion of VoIP software would be complete without mentioning Skype. It's probably best known as a consumer-focused, free, peer-to-peer service, but the company also offers a service aimed at businesses of all sizes. It's not just a program you run on your computer; you can also buy dedicated desk phones that work with Skype.
One of the advantages of VoIP over regular phone service is the extra security. In the VoIP world, voice scramblers aren't just the preserve of the military.
It's similar to working with a secure website, such as your bank. By enabling encryption, you get privacy for your business communication, plus authentication (i.e., protection against call rerouting).
While we're on the subject of security… remember to stay safe. If your users connect to any Internet services—including VoIP—make sure they're protected with business-class security.
Also, check with your provider about emergency calling (911 in North America, 112 elsewhere). Some providers do a better job than others of routing your call to the correct dispatcher for your location.
What do you want on your desk? With VoIP, you have three main choices:
If your power goes out, a traditional phone continues to work because your phone is powered by the phone company, not your building's power. However, with VoIP, you'll probably lose service if you lose power. Think about keeping a traditional phone and/or a cellphone as backup.
You may or may not be able to keep your current phone number. Ask your intended provider about number portability, before committing.
VoIP doesn't always work well for uses other than voice calls, such as fax machines, security systems and satellite TV receivers.
While VoIP can provide great rates, clear calls, extra security and handy features, it can also be a frustrating alphabet soup of telephony and computer jargon. Knowing your company's needs and your own comfort level with acronyms and equipment will help you choose the option that's right for you.

On the first drive of his first NFL playoff start Saturday night at Candlestick Park, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick threw an interception that Green Bay's Sam Shields returned 52 for a touchdown.
Kaepernick spent the rest of the night setting the NFL single-game rushing record for a quarterback and leading the 49ers to a resounding 45-31 victory over the Packers in an NFC Divisional playoff game.
The 49ers advanced to the NFC Championship Game for the second straight season and will play the winner of Sunday's game at Atlanta between the Falcons and Seattle Seahawks.
Kaepernick, making his first NFL playoff start, rushed for 181 yards, the most ever in a game by an NFL quarterback. He broke Michael Vick's single-game rushing record of 173 yards, set in 2002 against the Minnesota Vikings. Before Kaepernick ran wild against the Packers, no NFL quarterback had run for more yards in a playoff game than Vick, who rushed for 119 yards on eight carries against St. Louis for Atlanta on Jan. 15, 2005.
Kaepernick also smashed running back Roger Craig's postseason team single-game rushing mark of 135 set on Jan. 1, 1989, in a divisional game against Minnesota.
"It's a great accolade," Kaepernick said of his NFL record. "I think it means a lot more to the team. They opened up a lot of lanes for me."
The 49ers blockers also opened up plenty of holes for running back Frank Gore, who ran for 119 yards and a touchdown. With Kaepernick and Gore doing most of the work, the 49ers rushed for a team playoff record 325 yards, snapping the mark of 211 set against Miami in the Super Bowl on Jan. 20, 1985.
Kaepernick rushed for two touchdowns and passed for 263 yards and two touchdowns, both to wide receiver Michael Crabtree, who caught nine passes for 119 yards.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 26 of 59 passes for 257 yards and two touchdowns. Greg Jennings caught six passes for 54 yards and a touchdown.
Green Bay's defense, however, had no answer for Kaepernick, especially when he took off and scrambled or kept the ball on read-option plays.
"We just didn't play it the way it's supposed to be played," Packers safety Charles Woodson said. "We let him get out of there on a few occasions. If you don't stop it, it hurts you bad."
After throwing his pick-six early in the game, Kaepernick didn't flinch. He quickly led the 49ers to a touchdown, scrambling 20 yards for the score.
"He played amazing tonight," 49ers tackle Joe Staley said. "He shook off that early interception. When he was on the sidelines after that early interception, you could just see that he was ready to go. That didn't get him down. The whole offense we had a lot of confidence going into this game. We had a great game plan and I'm happy with the way we executed."
The Packers turned the no-huddle offense early in the second half and drove 76 yards in nine plays for Mason Crosby's 31-yard field, making it 24-24 with 8:25 left in the third.
After that, the 49ers scored two quick touchdowns to build a 38-24 lead and take control.
San Francisco needed just 1:18 to drive 80 yards and to take a 31-24 lead on Kaepernick's 56-yard touchdown run around right end on a read-option play. Kaepernick faked a handoff to rookie running back LaMichael James, pulled the ball back and, as the Packers converged on James, found a huge lane around right end. He raced untouched into the end zone.
"The end came down, our receivers blocked the corner and the safety, and there was nobody left," Kaepernick said.
After the 49ers defense forced a punt, Kaepernick and the 49ers went to work again, driving 93 yards in eight plays for Frank Gore's 2-yard touchdown blast with 14:57 left to play.
Kaepernick's 44-yard pass to tight end Vernon Davis gave the 49ers a first down at the Packers' 15. James then darted up the middle for 13 yards to the 2. Gore did the rest.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy said they tried multiple schemes to stop Kaepernick, including using a spy at times.
"You might not have noticed, but we did," McCarthy said. "We did not get that job done, obviously.
The 49ers upped their lead to 45-24 on fullback Anthony Dixon's 2-yard touchdown run with 3:34 left to play.
Rodgers tacked on a 3-yard touchdown pass to Jennings, cutting the lead to 45-31 with 57 seconds left.
The 49ers built a 24-21 halftime lead on the strength of Kaepernick's passing and running. He rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries by halftime. He also passed for 148 yards and two touchdowns, both to Crabtree, along with the interception for a touchdown to Shields on the game's first drive.
Rodgers, meanwhile, went 5 of 10 for 96 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the first half. James Jones caught a pair of passes for 64 yards and a touchdown, and running back DuJuan Harris carried nine times for 47 yards and a score in the opening half.

Whole grain gluten-free muffins with fall fruit. |
Today I have new muffin recipe for your gluten-free repertoire- with apples and pears, and protein rich quinoa flakes. The texture is akin to an old fashioned oat muffin. It is also vegan (I made these without eggs) and dairy-free. I used a combo of several gluten-free whole grain flours because I like my flour mix to have a nutty, protein rich blend.
Apple-Pear Multigrain Muffins Recipe
1/4 cup sorghum flour
1/4 cup GF millet flour or certified gluten-free oat flour
1/4 cup GF buckwheat flour
1/4 cup certified gluten-free cornmeal
1/4 cup quinoa flakes
1/2 cup tapioca starch or potato starch
1 tablespoon sweet rice flour or arrowroot starch
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon or gluten-free Apple Pie Spice blend
1/4 teaspoon allspice or cardamom
1/2 cup organic light brown sugar
1/2 cup organic cane sugar
2 organic free range eggs, beaten, or egg replacer for two eggs (I used Ener-G Egg Replacer)
1/4 cup light olive oil or melted coconut oil
1 medium banana, mashed well (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 teaspoon light rice vinegar
2 teaspoons bourbon vanilla
1/3 cup apple juice
1 cup peeled diced apple
1 cup peeled diced pear

Reports: Rutgers athletic director out of job
Video's broadcast led to firing of Mike Rice on Wednesday
Sources tell ESPN and The Associated Press that Tim Pernetti is out as the Rutgers athletic director days after a video surfaced showing fired basketball coach Mike Rice physically and verbally abusing players.
A news conference is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET Friday.
Rice was fired Wednesday after ESPN broadcast the video -- which the network said shows excerpts of practice sessions shot between 2010 and 2012-- in which the coach berated, shoved and threw basketballs at players.
"You f------ fairy ... you're a f------ f----t," Rice appears to say during one session depicted on the video.
On Thursday, the university told CNN men's assistant basketball coach Jimmy Martelli resigned the same day his boss was fired.
Rutgers gave no reason for Martelli's resignation.
Rice had just ended his third year as the Scarlet Knights' coach with a record of 44-51, and was under contract through the 2014-2015 season. He came to Rutgers from Robert Morris University, where he had a 73-31 record, taking the team to the NCAA basketball tournament twice.
His 2012 salary was $655,470.55, including $300,000 in base pay, according to News 12 New Jersey, which cited public records.

A few years back we sailed the pacific. We used our pressure cooker almost daily in order to save propane during the long voyages. Everything cooks faster under pressure because it raises the boiling point and temperature of water. My favorite was using it to cook bread. We would make a small dough and place it in the pressure cooker with a small amount of water for steam and cook it until it smelled like bread. I guess a pressure cooker is just a tiny little oven when used like that.
I love pressure cookers. I have 5 of them, counting my big old pressure canner that I haven't tried using yet. Three of mine are stainless steel. An 8qt. and (2)-6qt. models. Aluminum is great for canning, but I'd advise choosing stainless steel cookers, as aluminum cookware isn't good: it leaches into acidic foods. Stainless cookers can be used to store your foods in after they are cooked. Make a soup or stew and just put the whole cooker into the fridge later. Another trick is great for camping: Put all your ingredients (like for a soup or stew) into the cooker including water and freeze the whole thing solid. Take that as your cold pack in the ice chest. After several days, when it is thawed, cook it up. It is a no fuss camping meal for the last day of the weekend car camping trip.
Two of my cookers are matching presto 6qt. stainless models. I ordered spare parts and they fit both pans. Check this out: the last presto 6qt. I bought only cost me $1 at the thrift store!! It was only lacking a blow out fuse and the jiggler wheight. The gasket was like new. The fuse plug costs a couple bucks, and I already have multiple jiggler wheights. New, those prestos are around $70.
Always pick the ones with the thick "heat spreading bottoms" when choosing a stainless cooker. Those have a thick copper or aluminum layer on the outside bottom. Cheap ones may not have that and you'll be sorry when things burn on the bottom. Remember, you cannot stir things when the pan is under pressure...
I'd recommend common brands if you are choosing one to purchase as parts are more readily available. Pick up spare parts such as gaskets and fuses to have on hand so you won't be without your cooker if a fuse blows or gasket cracks. These things are great survival tools, and you'll want spare parts in a survival situation.
Here's a recipe for beans that I use a lot, everyone compliments these: Soak white beans (great northern, navy, or small white beans) a day or 2 with a little baking soda in the water, rinse well, put the soaked beans in your cooker with water to cover, dice up a can of spam (or a ham hock, or ham bone, or even a little beef bullion powder in a pinch..) and add a diced up onion, add some garlic (fresh or granulated), add some ketchup, some prepared mustard, and some barbecue sauce, maybe a little brown sugar, I like to add Vit.C crystals for tartness, but a splash of vinegar or red wine works too. Cook it all up under pressure. I give it 35 to 50 minutes at 15lbs. pressure (depending on what size beans are used). Turn it off and let it cool, or run it under the faucet if you are hungry.
If you don't open the pan, pressure cooked things are so well sterilized that they won't spoil for a day or two, if you need to keep things without refrigeration. Once you open the pan (and allow microbes to be introduced) then it needs the fridge for sure. Things stored in your pan (stainless, not aluminum) in the fridge keep better than if transferred to another container because the pan has been sterilized in the cooking process. This why I like having multiple pressure pans...
This is an excellent idea for a thread. I love cooking pinto beans in my pressure cooker. I rinse the beans well, put them into the pressure cooker along with plenty of water to cover thoroughly. I add a little salt, some tomatoes, onions, and whatever I have a taste for and put the lid on. I probably cook under pressure for maybe fifteen minutes and let pressure drop on its own. They turn out well everytime and have a beautiful red color. I never have to presoak or wait overnight with this method. I do know that many of the pressure cooker recipes say not too cook beans because of foaming stopping up the relief valve.
Here's a story about what they say: "not to cook peas or beans because they may clog the vent tube".
I had an older Mirro aluminum cooker, it was my first pressure pan, I inherited it from my grandma, who used it a lot for pot roasts. Now, I don't use any aluminum pans anymore, except in canning, because they say the aluminum is not good for you. (Grandma did have serious alzheimers when she died, not sure if her aluminum pans had any connection..?)
The Mirros have a blow-out fuse in the lid, like many cookers. This is a safety in case the regular vent tube (that holds the jiggler wheight) gets clogged up. Legumes, such as beans and peas, may froth up when you cook them, when they first begin boiling. This is something to do with a protein present making foam, and it passes after the cooking gets further along (boiling beer wort does the same thing if you use malt grains). A big head of foam, at first, then it settles down. Legumes also have skins which come off sometimes and they ride up in that foam. If that foam reaches your vent tube, the skins may blockage it!!
So, I was cooking a pot of split peas in Granny's old Mirro. We lived in an old house with 11 foot ceilings. Next thing I knew, it was like Mount Vesuvius erupting! The safety fuse on Mirro had blown out!! We got the stove turned off and stood back while Vesuvius subsided. Luckily, nobody was leaning their face over Mirro when she blew! The pan of peas was nearly empty when it was over, and about half of them were stuck to the 11 foot ceiling. Amazing that all of that went through the about 1/4 inch hole sized blowout fuse!
So, to be safe, don't cook split peas. If you do cook any beans or peas, you can do it a lot safer by waiting till the pan is boiling rapidly, and then making sure there is no foam (or that the initial temporary foam has subsided, and/or been skimmed off with a spoon) BEFORE closing the lid and bringing the pan up to pressure. Also, its a good idea to check that your vent tube is clear when building up to pressure by lifting the little jiggler to make sure the vent is not clogged: steam will come out. And also, don't be looking down at Mount Vesuvius when she's a rumbling!!
Oh yes, I wanted to add that you can really reduce the chances of your food foaming in the cooker by adding some cooking oil or fatty meat (such as ham hocks) in the recipe. The fat seems to settle down the foaming.
It seems you have the same or similar canner to what I've just gotten-
am a bit confused, as i don't understand the "jiggle at 4 times a minute" in the direction book-
My mom and gramma never cooked with a pressure cooker- (for reasons of having scrapped potatoes off the cieling >;~D )
so I am not familiar with the older 'weight' type-
I do have a newer one, with a release valve, and understand the working of that one, not the jiggling tho
any words of wisdom for a newbie to pressure canning?
ps- my cielings are NOT 11 foot, and with my luck it would shoot potatoes everywhere!!!
krusin2, to be honest, I do not have much canning experience to speak of. I have done lots of cooking with the pressure pans. From what I've read, it is more crucial that your canner stays up to the recommended pressure (and temps) without interruption or cooling to ensure proper sterilization. It is why they tell you to keep it gently jiggling, or 4 times a minute. Recommended Pressures (for canning) also increase with altitude. I am planning to get into canning and I think I'd want the type of pan that has a pressure guage. Some have both that and the jiggler wheight.
The Mirro pan had a pretty cool wheight. Round, and with 3 different holes to set on the vent, you could choose 5-10- or 15 lbs pressure. I wish the Presto pans had that feature. they just have a "one setting fits all" wheight. I think that is 15 lbs., but am not sure...I don't have that Mirro anymore since I've gotten into stainless steel cookers. I let the old aluminum Mirro go in a yard sale.
Basicly, with the jiggler wheight type of regulators, you are up to pressure when the wheight is jiggling. If you can adjust the heat down untill the thing gently jiggles periodically you are bumping up against that stated pressure. If it stops jiggling completely you most likely are not up to the stated pressure.
With the Presto pans, the blow-out fuse is like a rubber or plastic plug that presses in from the bottom up. It pushes up a bit when there is pressure. When the pressure releases the plug sets back down (its an indicator that there is no pressure when it sets back down). I have learned to bump-press that plug down with my finger and "feel" the approximate pressure (for cooking, not canning) by how firm the plug feels. After a while you get a feel for these things...
Gas stoves are easiest to use pressure pans on because the heat setting changes instantly when you adjust it. If you cook on an electric stove some books recommend turning a second burner on to "simmer" and switching your pan over to that so you can have instant adjustment. As foods cook, the required heat gets less and less until you are at a lowest simmer setting towards the end. The jiggler give you a way to guage the pressure and temps. This is where the economy of pressure pans comes in: towards the end, you are fast cooking at over 240F degrees at your stoves lowest setting!
I keep wanting to learn to use the pressure cooker/canner so I can take up low-acid canning. My old grandma has me scared to death to try. To the point that I wasn't all that mad when the deer ate most of my polebeans this summer.
Thanks for the stories I guess. Granny's a paranoiac and I get un-scared reading about what y'all have done. Pman thanks for the idea about instant heat adjustment on an elec. range-- gods I hate that thing; where-ever we end up sticking our "forever house" I am going to have a propane tank.
Speaking of which. I'm sure it's possible, but does anyone know if it's reasonable to can outdoors on a propane camp stove??? I have a little 2-burner one and it seems to be very efficient. I'm thinking if I picked a still day, canning on it might save me staying up 'til two o'clock in the morning so I can wait until everyone's gone to bed before I make the main room sweltering hot and swimming humid.
Yes, pressure canning is the only way to can low acid foods. If you really want to get into canning, you had better master using pressure pans. They aren't all that dangerous or scary to use when you get familiar with them and observe the safety precautions. Modern pressure pans have safety features (like the blow out fuses, lids that are locked under pressure, etc.) You do need to be attentive to the process and not forget what you are doing.
MC, thanks for joining the thread here. As far as your question about the camp stove for canning: I use a propane two burner camp stove for my main stove in my house. It is a nice one with self-igniting burners that connects to a bulk tank with a pressure regulator. Even the "side burner" on an outdoor gas barbecue grill could probably do the job if it has good heat output. Gas stoves are vulnerable to blowing out in a breeze, especially when turned down low. Shielding these from the wind is necessary. Same issue you have to deal with when using it for camping. I would not suggest using a camp stove that has those little throw-away gas bottles. It may work, but it could run out of gas 1/2 way through a canning session. Those little tanks are spendy, too. I've done lots of beer brewing on my 2 burner camp stove, boiling brimful 5 gallon kettles. Canning on one should be no problem.
I've been wanting to set up a canning kitchen/ home brewery in the shed behind my barn. There is a good roof, running water plumbed there, electricity for lights, and shelter from the wind for the gas stove. The old kitchen range would work great there. Just need to setup a sink and a work counter, maybe some shelves or cabinets for storage.
Thanks Practicalman-
Guess I will just have to 'play' with cooking in it before I start canning-
Pressure cooking is new to me, and my stainless pot has a different kind of steam valve- I have done okay with that one so far-
Using a pressure cooking to preserve the bounty of the summer harvest is necessary for canning low-acid foods and convenient for all kinds of canning. Read this article for some tips on food peservation methods, including the use of pressure cookers.

A foot fracture is a break in any of the bones in the foot.
The foot is made up of 26 small bones. The tarsus is the seven bones that make up the hindfoot and the midfoot. The forefoot consists of the five metatarsals and the 14 phalanges. There are two phalanges in the big toe and three in each of the remaining toes.
A foot fracture can happen in any foot bone, but metatarsal fractures are the most common.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A foot fracture is caused by trauma to the bone. Trauma includes:
When a bone is subjected to repeated stress over a long time, small cracks may form. These are called stress fractures . Certain bones (metatarsals and the talus) in the foot are at higher risk for this type of fracture.
Foot fracture is more common in older adults.
Factors that may increase your chance of a foot fracture include:
A foot fracture may cause:
You will be asked about your symptoms, physical activity, and how the injury occurred. The injured area will be examined and an x-ray of the foot will be done.
Proper treatment can prevent long-term complications or problems with your foot. Treatment will depend on how serious the fracture is, but may include:
Extra support may be needed to protect, support, and keep your foot in line while it heals. Supportive steps may include a splint, walking boot, stiff-soled shoe, or cast. Crutches may be needed to help you move around while keeping weight off your foot.
Some fractures cause pieces of bone to separate. These pieces will need to be put back into their proper place. This may be done:
Children's bones are still growing at an area of the bone called the growth plate. If the fracture affected the growth plate, your child may need to see a specialist. Injuries to the growth plate will need to be monitored to make sure the bone can continue to grow as expected.
The following medications may be advised:
Check with your doctor before taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or aspirin.
You may be referred to physical therapy or rehabilitation to start range-of-motion and strengthening exercises.
To help reduce your chance of foot fractures, take these steps:

Immigration Policy & Law
Immigration Policy & Law
Recent Activity
Voters' brains connect words, phrases, images, values, and emotions, and these connections — known as networks of association — influence their receptiveness to political messages, often far more strongly than facts and rational arguments. This report shows that to reach those who have not yet made up their mind on a particular issue, advocates and leaders need to understand the associations a term such as "immigrant" spark in the mind of the electorate and strengthen positive associations while weakening negative ones.
The print and broadcast media in the United Kingdom cover only a very narrow range of migration stories, primarily focusing on asylum seekers, refugees, illegal immigrants, and migrant workers. This report discusses the media's reliance on "templates" to frame migration stories, which is often set from the government's agenda on migration.
Germany has de facto been receiving immigrants for the last four decades, but the government only began actively dealing with the long-term impact of immigration a decade ago. Since the 1990s, Germany shifted away from stemming flows to recognizing its identity as a country of immigration and managing the impact of immigration on society.
Recent developments in the United States (including the 2008 elections and shifts in organized labor's stance on immigration) have created new openings for comprehensive immigration reform, possibly including a path to legal residence and citizenship for illegal immigrants. But the author argues that the extent of this opening may be overstated by some advocates.
Since 1999, concern about immigration in Britain has reached levels never seen before in the history of public opinion research, and surveys show strong support for tougher immigration laws. But opinions vary: younger, better-educated people and those who tend to live in areas with a longer history of immigration are more tolerant than older, less-educated people in more settled communities with low levels of immigration.
U.S. media coverage of immigration has hindered effective policy reform for years, a trend which has been exacerbated by the recent transformation in the ways Americans get their news. This has conditioned and even distorted public perceptions by portraying a largely gradual, orderly, and legal phenomenon as chaotic, criminal, and controversial.
This discussion focuses on E-Verify, the federal government's electronic employment verification system, and the release of an MPI report that assesses the program's strengths and weaknesses.
In order to rectify the shortcomings of a rigid and outdated U.S. visa system set in place by the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), this report recommends creating a new visa stream called provisional visas which would sync visa policies with the way in which labor markets work in practice, and bridge temporary and permanent employment-based admissions to the United States in a predictable and transparent way.

The fish taco place near me (well, around the US) has a deal every Tuesday after 2:30pm. $1.50 Fish Tacos! They are awesome and at half-price, I love them =) The problem is, I usually remember about the deal on Wednesday.So I created a reoccuring reminder every Tuesday to jog my memory BEFORE 2:30pm on Tuesday (and not 10:30am on Wednesday =P )I also went in an added some other daily reminders for places that have deals on certain days of the week, such as Kids Eat Free.Not only do I save time with Remember The Milk, I also save money!

Then You Must Start
I won't be able to post much here for a month....I'm just "hanging in there" until November. Then the only thing on my mind will be what to serve with turkey.
Jeanne Horton from Country Sampler sent a kit for me to use for our class there. Saturday and Sunday were spent in cutting paper and fabric then my "bonding" time with the glue stick . Wish I had time to do this by hand. Hand applique is so peaceful! But this will have to be done using the invisible machine applique method.
Now for the sewing!
I haven't had time to respond to questions in the comments section and I appreciate you helping out with the answers! (This means you Nancy in WI!!!)
I will do a demo painting and waxing a sewing box....look for it on the blog in November. For those of you who are wanting to jump in and try it on your own....here goes the short version. We use acrylic paint. Pick your favorite color. Paint the box and allow it to dry. Sand to distress and then wax with light or dark brown Briwax. If you "google" Briwax you can find their website and it gives locations to purchase this product. I find it at antique shops and my local Truevalue hardware store.
Until later dear friends!

I love your project and sometimes, like now, I wish I lived in the States and could come to your wonderful classes. I just saw a chart you made for a Shepherds Bush Retreat and I am in love - with the chart.
I hope your craziness calms down sooner than you think it will or is at least less crazy.
Lots of Love
Patti xxxLearned your waxed box technique at the SB Retreat 2 years ago! I've used it several times this year! I understand about not teaching next year...I think about all the great "stuff" you guys do and wonder where you both find the time! Your new project looks fabulous! Enjoy the SB Retreat!
ReplyDeleteWe'll miss you until November. Love the pomegranate block. I'm currently working on your "Holly & Mistletoe" quilt for my sister-in-law's 60th birthday - want to surprise her and this quilt just spoke her name to me!! I'll post a photo after I give it to her - I'm really pleased with how it is turning out :o)
JudieOoh!!! Don't I love this pomegranate applique - I am doing a wedding quilt which will be a combination of a pictorial and a modified and funky folky baltimore type set of blocks in the middle - I can see the "love apple" symbolising their love for each other. I simply love the choice of colours.
ReplyDeleteI will be at the first session at Country Sampler. I can't wait to see all the projects BD is doing. If you see this message before then could you please bring a couple of eyelets for me to purchase so I can get your x stitch scissor and floss holder pattern that I have been working on completed?

I took Nautilus,571, down to the local kiddy pool, makes for a great test tank, to try her out for the first time with an OTW dive module. I had roughly trimmed her at home and confirmed the functions were working as they should. When I fired up her reactor at the pool I noticed that there was ALOT of jitter, especially in the pump control. In the water it was not too bad, but the pump control was not working right, it would not hold neutral position
Now, this kiddy pool is a pool, full clorination and filtration, and the pumps were running on hyperdrive.
I am wondering if there isn't a noisy pump. When I got home and reset the reactor, all was quiet, as it should be.
Has anyone else run into a similar situation? Or am I nuts?(rhetorical ? )

Meaning & Origins
In the Bible, the name of the first man (Genesis 2–3). It probably derives from Hebrew adama 'earth' it is a common feature of creation legends that God or a god fashioned the first human beings from earth or clay and breathed life into them. The name was subsequently borne by a 7th-century Irish abbot of Fermo in Italy. It has been very popular in the English-speaking world since the 1960s. In Hebrew it is a generic term for 'man' (Genesis 5:2) and has never been considered a personal name, although Hava 'Eve' has enjoyed popularity as a Jewish name.

If via has a history of anything it's making crappy chipsets and buying once competitive companies for their tech and then totally fscking them up. *cough*S3*cough* *cough*IC Ensemble*Cough*, *cough* Cyrix *cough*Thats the problem though, due o the windows monoculture all other cpu archs have gone under, even the last holdout in the consumer market, Apple with the IBM Power4 derived G5 gave up and went to x86. The only place you're seeing other archs these days in the consumer market is in stand alone devices like game consoles like the Cell in the PS3.
Nviida already has the ARM based Tegra platform http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Tegra but you won be seeing that powring anything more powerful then your next cellphone.
As far as my stated 5 year mark, yes, that is an eternity in tech years, but with curent trends the CPU is becomming less and less important, while the GPU is becoming more and more essential. I do't see why the couldn't though have a version of the Nano die shrunk between 55-45nm and at least dual core running 2.5Ghz within a year, which would at least get them in the door at the low end with the Pentium dual core a few of the low end C2Ds and the AMD X2 line. The would be able to hold onto their gpu position for a while as well to remain profitable while they claw their way up. The real challenge though is if they can get it into the OEMs, nvidia has had little trouble getting their GPUs and chipsets into the OEMs for the last few years, I've seen more of them recently there then I've seen Intel GPUs and AMD gpus when poking around the laptops at the local worst buy.
But seriously you don' think t'd take close to 5 years for them to get a cpu that would be within a few flops oft the best that AMD and Intel have to offer at the time? By then we'll be up to 12-16 core CPUs pushing something close to 4.5Ghz a core. It's not something anyone could build over night.
Maybe someday soon we'll get multicore multicore cpus that will have several different archs running oon the same die ith some level of interpreter that decides what arch to execute what code fore some truly amazing cpu power. But alas, I think the difficulty of making such a cpu will leave it an infeasible pipedream...
No matter what it's an uphll battle for both nVidia and VIA since its now much harder to pull out an antitrust on Intel for monopolistic practices since AMD bought ATI. The only thing we can hope is that AMD has something up their sleeve to retake the cpu market and maybe a new chipset that can give us at least 4x16xPCIe slots, or even better, a 7x16xPCIe chipset with 2x CPU sockets, anything to get them more market space ahead of Intel. Just think if you could get a 14 way crossfire mobo with 2x 4-4.5Ghz OCd quads and 12Gb of tri channel DDR3. Sure theres no real reason for it, but it would get AMD more much neded advertising all over the web on various tch forums and it'd allow them to just brute force games like Crysis Warhead into actually running lol.

Easy Written By Brent, Joplin, MO on Monday, April 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Was very easy to setup, connect to my network. They give 3 options, I think it was, to connect into your network. I picked 1 of the options and had it playing in minutes. Had it playing from iTunes then on my Apple TV and finally an iPad, each was as simple as selecting the airplay icon and then selecting the speaker. Sound quality was Good for the size of the speaker. A little weak on the low end, but not really unexpected. This has nothing to do specifically with this speaker but, I really enjoy being able to select multiple Airplay devices in iTunes for whole house playback. I wish the Apple TV would allow multi-out selection as well. Pros: Airplay simplicity for connecting into the Apple environment. Has a USB connection if you want to connect an iPod, iPhone or iPad directly. Has a 3.5mm Aux in for other devices. Cons: No major complaints.
No 802.11n Written By Jann, Santa Rosa, CA on Saturday, February 16, 2013 I cannot believe this item requires an 802.11b/g network. I did not want to downgrade my network from 802.11n to the aging 802.11b/g standard. Pros: Airplay!!! Cons: 802.11b/g only!!
Functions well; sound so-so Written By LewisH, Northern VA on Monday, October 15, 2012 It works well. It's very cool to walk around the house playing whatever song you want at a whim from your phone. It also plays Pandora, etc. The sound is OK for regular use. It's ten watts. If you want to listen to classical or house-rattling dubstep this is probably not for you. As far as setting it up, I would point out that if it is slow and took a few times turning the wifi on and off, but it's never dropped the signal. A downside you may not realize until you try it is that your computer must be on, running iTunes, for it to work---even if using your phone as the "remote." If you only have one computer at home, could be annoying. Also if you are running it from your phone and you get/make a call, it turns off. Also, you can't play different music from different speakers. But all of these shortcomings you pay hundreds more to overcome for Sonos or the like. Pros: integration with iTunes and iPhone remote app; attractive design; price Cons: sound quality is not stunning.
Cannot recommend the iW2 Written By terrypl, Delaware on Saturday, September 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I cannot recommend this product, as it will not connect to my iTunes despite every effort to get it to do so. The iHome site offers no voice tech support, and its email support has not helped me. Crutchfield tech support has made a consistent effort to assist me, but despite their efforts to help, I still cannot get this speaker to play from iTunes. All my hardware and software is up to date, and we are following all instructions to the letter. Pros: Great idea. Cons: Does not connect to network, despite the efforts of its computer-literate owner and dedicated tech support from Crutchfield.

Series Description: In the quest for world domination, the Nazis built some of the biggest and deadliest pieces of military hardware and malevolent technology in history. With brilliant, dark minds and a legion of captive labor at their disposal, the Nazis believed the path to ultimate victory was to out-build and out-engineer their enemies. To them, bigger definitely meant better, and better meant more lethal. As Hitler's grip on Europe tightened, he ordered men like Wernher von Braun, Ferdinand Porsche and Alfried Krupp to build increasingly outlandish machines and structures to realize his master plan. This is World War II told from a new perspective. This series uncovers the engineering secrets of three iconic mega structures, tells the stories of the evil geniuses that designed them and reveals how these structures sparked a technological revolution that changed warfare forever.

A license may be granted by a party ("licensor") to another party ("licensee") as an element of an agreement between those parties. A shorthand definition of a license is "an authorization (by the licensor) to use the licensed material (by the licensee)." In particular a license may be issued by authorities, to allow an activity that would otherwise be forbidden. It may require paying a fee and/or proving a capability.

Modular Home Consultant - Roger Ketterman
Hello, I am Roger Ketterman, your Modular Home Consultant for Warrenton, NC. If you have any questions, please call me toll free! — 877-410-7143
How to Plan Your Modular Home
With modular construction, a new Warrenton, NC home requires significant and thoughtful planning which needs to be finished in the beginning your project strategy. Your residence will comply with all local building codes but you'll still need to plan for the boundary line locations, and obtain virtually all construction permits. Additionally, you will have to ascertain soil type and conditions, water table and frost line to be able to develop the design. The planning needs to involve buying the property and choosing where you can set the house on the site. As the property owner, you must also develop a plan for construction of the perimeter foundation wall structure, which must be correctly aligned in order to support the modules upon arrival. One particular critical item of your program will be to plan a 30-foot diameter space located close to the perimeter foundation that is clear of trees and wires that is perfectly level in order to place the building crane used to set in place the components around the foundation.
The design of a new modular home will start with determining the Wind Zone, Thermal Zone and Roof Load Zone of the building location. These must be incorporated in the design from the start, as well as employed in the engineering step of the plan. You will want designs for your attached garages, verandas or decks as they are not part of the modular home plan. It is essential for you to list what you need to design for your residence so that it can be established that these can be incorporated in the design. There are no limits to the size of to the design using modular homes; currently there are designs as large as 1500 to 3000 square feet constructed in 32 modules, with the common range from 4 to 6 thousand square feet within 10 to 12 modules. All of the home designs Express Modular provides are constructed in this way, including our log homes and our many green home options.
Construction of Your Modular Home
The construction phase of your modular home starts with securing the title for the property, with no restrictions, plus obtaining all permits and approvals. Then the site facilities such as water wells, septic/sewer, water lines and power are put in place, followed by installing the perimeter footing which will support the modules. These items must be completed in advance of construction is started at the module production site, where modules are built within an indoor environment by a team of experienced professionals, without weather slow downs or building location material losses compared to traditional home construction. The last building step would be to prepare for installation of the thirty-foot zone that is perfectly level which is then used for the staging area for the construction crane used to place the modules on the perimeter footing.
Once the construction of your modules is finished and they are delivered to your home location we start the key step of the assembly - the setting of your modules by the assembly team using construction crane equipment. Once these are placed, the final phase of your installation will be the finishing the installation of utilities, painting, installing the flooring, and the create of the appliances. Cleaning top to bottom and testing makes sure everything is in good working order and the final home inspections and occupancy permits will be secured. Normally, the external perimeter driveway, patios, walks and decking are set up to complete the work and the home is ready for moving in.
The Green Modular Home
Express Modular homes are designed "greener" and are even more energy-efficient when compared with traditional homes of the past. All the insulation as well as other elements used in manufacturing are designed in the residence right from inception. Energy-efficient appliances are standard and, using upgrades,your home becomes even more eco-friendly. The climate-control production setting and reclaimed materials provide additional opportunities for a sustainable house. With low flow fixtures on faucets, shower heads and sinks, your totally green modular home environment is completed.
About 50 regional or national green home labeling programs throughout the country. While each program approaches green building a little differently, they all offer important information on the topic.

Hello, someone could share his experiment?
I am very interested by the new AMD Radeon 7850 graphics card because:
- It is silent (tired of having a vacuum noise in my pc)
- It uses less electricity
Well, this is not the most powerful of the market but it will be good enough to run my games on Linux (Thrine and other games of Humble Bundle)
But before buying, I'd like to know if:
- It is easy to install Linux / Ubuntu?
- Stable?
- The dual screen feature works well? (eg display TV + PC)
- What about games under Wine (and other 3D, it works as well as in Nvidia?)
- It is possible to use the audio through the HDMI?
Thank you for your feedback.
Hello, someone could share his experiment?
WIth a 7850, you'll have to use fglrx, which will probably suck badly with wine. In my experience it also kernel panics on shutdown.
So, do yourself a favor and buy nvidia, not least because most wine developers seem to test with nvidia.
No, amd just needs to allow anonymous access to the beta ftp server. It is as simple as that.
Just read whole thread: http://phoronix.com/forums/showthrea...eries-on-Linux
I installed it yesterday and I see AMD graphic card work much better than 5 years ago on Linux, but that was not very difficult to do better...
1) On ubuntu precise, the card is too young and the radeon free driver does not recognize it. You have to install the Catalyst AMD driver 12.6.
2) HDMI audio with 7850 is not implemented in the precise kernel. I have to install a 3.3.7 kernel for Ubuntu and it works good!
3) with wine: I have a lot of problem, but there is solution all over the internet because there are a lot of people wich use ATI graphic card on Linux
4) good results with recent 3D games
5) dual screen ok PC+TV (clone or double screen)
I'll continue to post here my AMD 7580 experiment on Ubuntu precise
Next step:
- how to use HD video acceleration
- driver stability?
- resolve TTY console
HD Video with fglrx is easy. There is a xvba backend for vaapi.
But it is implemented in VLC or Totem? How to activate it? For the moment my cpu told me I have not acceleration video playback.
Install xvba-va-driver, check "Input & Codecs" -> "Use GPU accelerated decoding" in VLC preferences. Run "sudo amfconfig --set-pcs-u32=MCIL,HWUVD_H264Level51Support,1" if you need email@example.com video support.
