The NFL playoffs continue this week, and the Baltimore Ravens and the New England Patriots are set to do battle. Check out some of the NFL prop bets that are available at BetDSI, as we analyze the betting lines and see which sides to play in the AFC Championship Game.
Joe Flacco Passing Yards Under 275.5 (-110): It's a trendy move to take Flacco's 'over' as a given considering how well he has played over the course of his first two weeks in the playoffs this year. He threw for 382 yards against the Patriots the first time around, 282 against the Colts, and 331 against the Broncos. Here's what you have to remember about that game against Denver, though. Take away that 70-yard touchdown gift that sort of fell into the hands of WR Jacoby Jones, and over 100 passing yards would have been taken away from Flacco. Remember too, that he has only completed 52 and 53 percent of his passes in his first two playoff games to boot. If those percentages keep up, there's just no way that he is going to make it to 276 passing yards in this game.
Ray Rice Over 75.5 Rushing Yards (-120): RB Arian Foster rushed for 90 yards last week against these Patriots, and though the team really has looked good on the ground at times, we still think that Rice has the advantage. Last week, he was the horse that carried the load against the Broncos, and we have to think that he is going to do so again. What we don't like about Rice is that he is getting some of his carried pillaged from him by RB Bernard Pierce, but what we do like about him is that over the course of the last seven games that he has played (excluding a Week 17 game against the Bengals), he has rushed for an average of 91.4 yards per game. Rice really has been a lot better down the stretch, and he has especially excelled since Jim Caldwell has taken over as the team's offensive coordinator.
Dennis Pitta Under 4 Receptions (-130): Pitta had himself an interesting season this year. He had a lot of games where he made a ton of big catches, and that includes when he had five grabs for 50 yards and a TD against these Patriots back in Week 3. However, Pitta also had a lot of games in which he just was a no show. 1 catch for 19 yards against Pittsburgh… 1 catch for 5 yards against Pittsburgh… 2 catches for 33 yards against Cleveland… 3 catches for 22 yards against Kansas City… And even here in the playoffs, Pitta has only had a total of five receptions in two games. What do a lot of these teams have in common? They know how to defend the tight end because they utilize the tight end. Though it wouldn't be brutally shocking if Pitta ultimately did end up getting to four or five receptions in this game, it just doesn't seem likely that he ends up doing that.
Ed Reed Over 5.5 Tackles (+100): This is a big time prop that we suggest you playing your maximum number of units on. What we have seen a lot of out of Reed here in the playoffs and of late in the regular season is that of a man that seems to be aging and not getting his nose in on nearly as many plays as he used to earlier in his career. However, we still think that this is an awesome play against the Patriots. Reed is going to be used in coverage against TE Aaron Hernandez, who is sure to get the ball quite a bit. All of these plays that New England runs over the middle are going to give Reed the opportunity to make some plays. Against New England the first time this year, he had nine tackles, his highest tally of the season. At least half the time, Reed is going to get to at least six tackles in this game.
Stevan Ridley to Score a Touchdown (-105): It has to be scary to think that Ridley was not the only goal line back last week against the Texans, but he did ultimately find his way into the end zone. There have been 11 games this year in 17 games in which Ridley scored a touchdown, and we have to like our percentages against a Baltimore team that tends to get gashed on the ground. You have to go back to December 16th to find the last time that the Ravens allowed a rushing touchdown to a primary rusher, but in the end, we still have to think that New England's main man is going to find his way into the end zone at least once in this game.
Wes Welker Under 7.5 Receptions (-120): Many are going to immediately play Welker's 'over', knowing that he had eight games since Week 3 with at least eight receptions, including four games with double digits worth of catches. That doesn't mean that he is going to be able to do that again. Baltimore plays an aggressive style of defense, and that generally promotes the idea of having to push the ball up the field a bit. Welker was able to do that the first time around when these two teams met, but we aren't so sure that he is going to be able to do so again in this one. A lot of the teams that Welker gashed down the stretch just weren't all that good in the secondary, and the last team that he did face with a solid secondary, the San Francisco defense, held him to five catches for 56 yards.
Aaron Hernandez Under 72.5 Receiving Yards (-125): The former Florida Gator seems to be a lock for a big time game, knowing that he did so against the Texans last week with TE Rob Gronkowski essentially sitting out. However, Gronk has been out since Week 12, exactly the time that Hernandez came back into the fold after dealing with his ankle injury. Since that point, there have been some great games in terms of receptions, as Hernandez averaged 5.7 catches per game. However, the yardage hasn't always been there. Yes, he had 85 yards against the Texans last week, but in total, he has only averaged 60.7 yards per game. We do think that we could see Hernandez touch the ball a lot, but it isn't all that often that we see men like this get yards after the catch at a great rate against this defense. Eight catches is possible, but we don't think that 73 yards will ultimately be.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Surgery: What to Expect
Before Surgery
You will have an appointment with your surgeon before your surgery. For this appointment, take along a list of questions about the surgery(What is a PDF document?) to help you understand your treatment.
Your surgeon will explain why your surgery is needed, what it will involve, what its risks and expected outcome are, and how long it will take you to recover. Talk to your surgeon about any concerns you have about the surgery. You may also want to ask about treatments you might try other than surgery.
Most surgery centers and hospitals have a before-surgery form for you to fill out. This form usually includes questions about your medical history and current health.
This information helps the surgical team prepare for your surgery. They are trained to provide you with safe care during your surgery. You most likely will complete the form 1 to 3 days before your surgery.
Talking to your surgeon
Talk to your surgeon about what kinds of surgery you have had in the past. Describe your recovery period, and be sure to mention any problems you may have had.
Describe any health problems you have, such as:
- Diabetes.
- Heart problems. Also tell your doctor if you have a pacemaker.
- Lung problems, such as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
- Sleep apnea.
- Asthma.
- Any allergies to foods or any substance, including latex, tape, adhesives, anesthetics, or other medicines. You may also be asked whether any family members have had reactions to anesthetics.
- Any bleeding problems or use of blood-thinning medicine, such as aspirin, clopidogrel, or warfarin.
- A current—or recent—cold, flu, or fever.
It's important to tell your doctor about any tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs, or medicines you use. This includes over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements, such as St. John's wort and diet aids. Your use of substances or medicines may affect your reaction to anesthesia or pain medicines.
Talk about any physical restrictions you have, such as an artificial joint or limited range of motion of your neck, arms, or legs.
Let your doctor know if you have any metal implants or fragments in your body.
Tell your surgeon if you are or might be pregnant.

Energy Primary Drives
Turbine PTO
Direct Drive PTO
Introducing two practical wave energy conversion
designs: the Hanna Turbine known as a WETGEN (Wave Energy Turbine GENerator), U.S. Patent No. 8,358,026 and the
Hanna MultiDrive, a mechanical,
direct-drive power take-off (PTO), U.S. Patent No. 8,745,981. Both devices harvest energy from ocean waves by
means of the OWC (Oscillating Water Column) principle. OWC
technologies are the most mature and well-studied wave conversion systems in
the industry.
Engineers at Oregon State University (OSU) built a small working Hanna
Turbine. The device was tested with a bi-directional air flow.
Acting as an impartial third-party, the OSU College of Engineering issued a
final report that validated the Hanna Turbine in 2014.
A new efficiency study is now
underway at the Oregon Institute of Technology. The engineering team
will build models of the Wells Turbine and the Hanna Turbine. The two
designs will be physically tested under identical laboratory conditions.
In addition, the Hanna device will receive numerical modeling and CFD
evaluations. A final report will be published by OIT researchers in
June 2015.
The Hanna
Turbine aims to improve upon the pioneering but inefficient Wells Turbine that was
invented over thirty years ago.
In contrast to the Wells, the Hanna Turbine uses asymmetrical airfoils with a lower angle of attack which creates more
lift and less drag. The design resists "stall", improves
self-starting and can function over a wider bandwidth with higher torque values.
It offers lower damping (restriction) to the bi-directional airstream due to a smaller
diameter hub and wider gaps between the high lift blades. Unlike the Wells, it drives
two generators - doubling the power output. Both generators are easily
accessable and operate in a dry environment. The Hanna Turbine is more versatile
than the Wells, offering three distinct power take-off designs to
meet job-specific applications. It can be scaled up to three meters (9
feet) in diameter. A 15cm (6 inch) diameter model can provide battery
charging power for small
autonomous research buoys.
wave energy devices operate in the open ocean. In comparison, both
Hanna technologies operate at sea but also can function as shore based
installations. They can be built into jetties or breakwaters and can be connected directly to the
grid. As an alternative, Hanna ocean based applications can be installed on tethered buoys, the legs of off
shore oil rigs, or on floating wind and wave harvesting platforms. Hanna
primary drives can also spin water pumps to
support desalination plants and other renewable energy technologies.
All completed EIR studies for existing shore based OWC installations have
resulted in FONSI (Findings of no Significant Impact). Hanna shore based
power plants will not interfere with maritime traffic, commercial fishing or
recreational activities.
Most deep water designs are sealed up
and their generators are inaccesible at sea. To perform maintenance,
the sealed devices must be removed from the water and transported to shore.
Both of the Hanna PTO's avoid these costly O&R haulouts. Routine
maintenance at sea is possible through weather-tight hatches. No
generating components are immersed in water.
Videos of the
Hanna Turbine can be viewed on the WETGEN
You Tube channel. For a more detailed description of the Hanna
MultiDrive power take-off, click
HERE. Additional information
is posted on John Hanna's LinkedIn page or simply Google WETGEN.
To assure the responsible development and successful commercialization of both
technologies, the inventor seeks to assign ownership of the patents
to an established manufacturer or qualified wave energy developer.

Recognize Hepatic Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome in patients with cancer.
Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), a serious complication that can occur following either allogeneic or autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), was described by Tracy Krimmel, MSN, AOCN[R], APRN-BC, and Loretta A. Williams, PhD, RN, in the January 2008 issue of the Oncology Nursing Forum. Hepatic SOS develops early in the transplantation process, usually by day 35, and, in its severe form, can have a mortality rate as high as 67%. The incidence of hepatic SOS can be as high as 70%, depending on factors such as the conditioning regimen used and hepatic function prior to transplantation.
Although the pathogenesis of hepatic SOS is not understood, it is thought to begin with injury to the hepatic venules. The vascular inflammatory process leads to deposits of fibrin in the portal vessels, causing obstruction. The sinusoids become dilated and hepatocytes become necrotic when collagen accumulates in the sinusoids and venules. Injury to the sinusoidal endothelial cells and the hepatocytes in zone 3 of the liver, located around the central veins, is an important initial event in hepatic SOS. Hepatocytes in zone 3 contain high concentrations of cytochrome P450, an enzyme that metabolizes many chemotherapeutic agents, including busulfan (Myleran[R], GlaxoSmithKline) and metabolites of cyclophosphamide. Inability to effectively metabolize those chemotherapeutic agents increases liver damage. These events lead to widespread disruption of liver function.
Risk Factors
Cytotoxic agents implicated in the development of hepatic SOS include busulfan, a common conditioning agent used in HSCT, and gemtuzumab ozogamycin (Mylotarg[R], Wyeth Pharmaceuticals), an anti-CD33 monoclonal antibody. Risk factors for hepatic SOS include
* Karnofsky score less than 90%
* Age older than 20 years
* History of liver disease
* Intensive conditioning regimen
* Fungal infection
* Elevated aspirate aminotransferase at the start of HSCT
* Previous abdominal radiation
* Female gender
* Advanced malignancy
* Prior exposure to amphotericin B
* Total number of days on broad-spectrum antibiotics
* Total number of days with fever before HSCT.
Having an unrelated donor and advanced-stage malignancy also are substantial risk factors for hepatic SOS in pediatric patients.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Clinical symptoms of hepatic SOS include unexplained weight gain, painful hepatomegaly, and jaundice. Diagnostic criteria include jaundice (total bilirubin > 2.0 mg/dl) and at least two of the following.
* Hepatomegaly
* Ascites
* A gain of more than 5% of the patient's total body weight
Hepatic SOS is difficult to diagnose because of the many causes of hepatic toxicity in patients undergoing HSCT and because the diagnostic criteria overlap with many other complications that can occur following HSCT.
Because of the danger of bleeding or infection from invasive procedures during HSCT, diagnosis of hepatic SOS often is made clinically based on the classic signs of weight gain, painful hepatomegaly, hyperbilirubinemia, and ascites. Transfemoral or transjugular liver biopsy and wedged hepatic venous pressure gradient measurement are the preferred methods of pathologic diagnosis of hepatic SOS. Percutaneous liver biopsy is not recommended. Doppler ultrasound of the liver, computed tomography of the abdomen, magnetic resonance imaging of the liver, and a hepatitis panel can assist in the clinical diagnosis.
No definitive treatment exists for hepatic SOS, and recommendations center around supportive care measures. Approximately 70% of cases of hepatic SOS following HSCT will resolve spontaneously with supportive care.
* Maintain adequate intake and output.
* Adjust medication doses if hepatic and renal impairment is present.
* Protect the patient's kidney function.
Defibrotide has been studied in the prevention and treatment of hepatic SOS. For recommendations, refer to Krimmel and Williams (2008).
Nursing assessments should include monitoring mental status changes to detect the development of hepatic encephalopathy, daily measurement of abdominal girth for ascites, and daily weight measurement to assess fluid retention. Supportive care should continue until the hepatic SOS resolves and liver cells regenerate.
Krimmel, T., & Williams, L.A. (2008). Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome following hematopoeitic stem cell transplantation. Oncology Nursing Forum, 35(1), 3740.
RELATED ARTICLE: Key Definitions.
Conditioning regimen: provides immunosuppression to prevent rejection of the transplanted graft; traditionally achieved by delivering maximally tolerated doses of multiple chemotherapeutic agents with nonoverlapping toxicities, with or without radiation
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: IV infusion of autologous (self-donor) or allogeneic (non-self-donor) stem cells collected from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood to reestablish hematopoietic function in patients with damaged or defective bone marrow or immune systems
Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome: a toxic injury to sinusoidal endothelial cells causing a cascade of events, including compromised blood flow to centrilobular hepatocytes, fibrosis, and obstruction of hepatic blood flow; also known as veno-occlusive disease of the liver
Hepatocytes: functional cells of the liver that are supported by reticuloendothelial cells
Sinusoids: the vascular spaces that separate individual plates of hepatocytes; blood from the hepatic and portal veins combine in the sinusoids and drain into the central venules.
RELATED ARTICLE: Case Study.
J.M., a 43-year-old man with acute myelogenous leukemia with a monosomy 7 cytogenetic abnormality, received an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) from his human leukocyte antigen-matched brother. Past treatments included idarubicin and cytarabine induction therapy followed by a cycle of high-dose cytarabine. J.M. was in complete remission prior to the HSCT. The conditioning regimen for the HSCT was busulfan and cyclophosphamide. Eighteen days after his HSCT, J.M.'s total bilirubin rose from 1.0 mg/dl to 3.6 mg/dl within 24 hours. His alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase were normal. J.M. complained of mild right upper-quadrant abdominal pain (3 on a 010 scale). J.M. had been gaining one to two pounds per day over the past few days, for a total of 10 pounds in the past week. He was slightly jaundiced. The transplantation team suspected that J.M. was developing hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS).
What were J.M.'s risk factors for hepatic SOS? What were J.M.'s diagnostic signs of hepatic SOS? What are the most reasonable management options for J.M.'s hepatic SOS? Visit http://bloodmarrow.vc.ons.org/page/4917 to discuss the case with other readers.

Kids Learn By Being Messy With Their Food
Brett Smith for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online
A toddler's messy mealtime might be a tidy parent's worst nightmare, but according to a new study, children who play with their food are learning about the nature of non-solid objects.
The study, published in the journal Developmental Science, found children who play with their food in a laboratory setting were more likely to learn words for non-solids, a contrast to previous studies that have shown toddlers are more apt to learn about solid objects than non-solids due to their unchanging size and shape.
Study author Larissa Samuelson, associate professor of psychology at the University of Iowa, said the familiar context of sitting in a highchair during mealtime opens a child's mind up to learning new things.
Toddlers are "used to seeing nonsolid things in this context, when they're eating," Samuelson said. "And, if you expose them to these things when they're in a highchair, they do better. They're familiar with the setting and that helps them remember and use what they already know about non-solids."
In the study, the researchers exposed 16-month-olds to 14 non-solid items, which were mostly food and drinks like applesauce, juice, and soup. As they presented the items, the researchers gave them made-up names, such as "dax" or "kiv." Many of the toddlers happily began to poke, prod, feel, eat and even throw the non-solids once they were within reach.
A minute later, study researchers asked their participants to identify the same food, but in different amounts or shapes. This part of the experiment demanded that the youngsters had gone beyond relying simply observing an item's shape and size.
The study team found the kids who interacted with their foods the most were more likely to positively identify them by their texture and name them.
"It's the material that makes many non-solids, and how children name them," Samuelson said.
The research team also found children in a highchair were better able to identify items than those in other contexts, such as seated at a table.
"It turns out that being in a high chair makes it more likely you'll get messy, because kids know they can get messy there," Samuelson explained.
The researchers concluded that toddlers' behavior, setting and experimentation help them in the earliest stages of building a vocabulary. This stage of learning is also linked to better cognitive development and functioning later in life, the study team said.
"It may look like your child is playing in the high chair, throwing things on the ground, and they may be doing that, but they are getting information out of [those actions]," Samuelson said. "And, it turns out, they can use that information later. That's what the high chair did. Playing with these foods there actually helped these children in the lab, and they learned the names better."
For example, a cup of milk and a cup of glue might look remarkably similar to a 16-month-old.
"It's not about words you know, but words you're going to learn," Samuelson added.

Mark, Aventyr60, thanks for the inputs. My Catalina 34 (cruising "sling" weight will be between 15,000-16,000 pounds) has a Maxwell (V500?) windlass with a rope-rode capstan. They make a gypsy/capstan combo head windlass that will work with ¼ regular coil chain and an all-gypsy capstan head for ¼ inch proof (BBB) coil. I will need to check if they sell a gypsy head for my windlass that will accept 5/16 chain. If I go 5/16, do I need it as schedule BBB? I currently have 40' of the stuff on my "cruising" anchor and it is heavy and I have to hand-over-hand it into the boat. What I've read in the charts, ¼ inch is acceptable. What do you guys with real practical experience think? As I am about two years from heading South, I figure if I start shopping now, I'll be able to score a bargain on ground tackle. Thanks again, and I'm really enjoying this discussion.

Policy allowing full FDI in pharmaceutical sector is under review following fears about the impact of takeovers on drug industry
Worried that the trend of multinational companies taking over Indian pharmaceutical firms will undermine the government's efforts at making the generic version of drugs available at affordable prices, the Health Ministry wants safeguards to be built into the Foreign Direct Investment process.
India today allows 100 per cent FDI in the pharmaceutical sector, but the policy is being reviewed in the wake of fears about the impact of 'brownfield' investments — whereby foreign companies merely take over an already existing Indian company — on the future of the Indian drug industry.
As many as 61 drugs worth $80 billion are likely to go off patent in the U.S. between 2011 and 2013, making it possible for Indian companies to produce cheaper generic versions. But the Health Ministry fears the takeover of these domestic companies by MNCs would lead to essential medicines becoming costlier, thus impacting public health programmes, including the universal immunisation programme.
Keeping in view the need to exercise a certain degree of supervision over takeovers, the Ministry has recommended that prior approval of the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) be made mandatory. And while they are not asking for a lowering of the permissible FDI, sources in the Ministry told The Hindu that steps should be taken to channel foreign investment to green-field projects.
Major takeovers
Between 2006 and 2010, six major Indian companies have been taken over by MNCs, including Matrix Lab by Mylan, Dabur Pharma by Fresenius Kabi, Ranbaxy Labs by Daiichi Sankyo, Shanta Biotech (Sanofi Aventis), Orchid Chemicals (Hospira) and Piramal Healthcare (Abbott). Since 2001, when 100 per cent FDI was allowed in the sector, only 10 per cent of foreign investment has gone to green-field ventures.
"The takeovers and mergers by multinational pharmaceutical companies of perhaps the most important Indian generic companies with the technological capacity to produce medicines and vaccines for the developing world are, in the long run, likely to impact the focus of what Indian companies produce and for whom," says Leena Menghaneym, adviser, International Treatment Prepared Coalition-India.
The MNC takeover of generic manufacturers will further orient them away from the developing country markets, thus reducing the availability of drugs in low-income countries in the future, she argues. Indian companies merged or taken over are unlikely to produce low-cost generic drugs that will compete with their parent companies patented or brand-name medicines.
A high-level committee, headed by Planning Commission member Arun Maira, has already been looking into all aspects of the FDI policy relevant to the pharmaceutical sector.
At the Union government's request, Ernst & Young is also conducting a study on the impact of the recent takeover of Indian pharmaceutical companies, and its report is likely to be placed before the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister.

Finally a food I can feel good about
posted 6 years ago
This is a product that is a giant step ahead of the less expensive mass produced name brand cat foods. Real lamb, brown rice, canola oil, added vitamins, no by-products and the cats like it--not saying that it is their favorite--but they do eat it, if without vigor, and I feel good about the all important list of ingredients. Well worth the extra money.
Pros: Healthy Ingredients
Cons: Pricey - Rather Hard to Find

My Rating
The our my wife and I took was the "Nature Tour". It lasted as your said for about six and a half hours. The caves were certainly the highlight, The pottery factory was interesting but the rest of it was a considerable amount walking on uneven and some places rough ground for which we were not prepared The time for these trips, 45 min., was not enough. We started both the flower and the wild animal walks but had to turn around after a short distance. This is not a tour for anyone who has walking problems and you know, I found nothing in the literature to explain this.

Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Survivorship Program
The Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Survivorship Program offers comprehensive care and management strategies for the unique challenges women treated for breast cancer face as they transition to post-treatment survivorship care. These issues include hot flashes, osteoporosis, fatigue, weight gain, depression, anxiety, cognitive impairment, sexual dysfunction, neuropathy, fertility problems and lymphedema.
A long term survivorship care plan, including a treatment summary, is developed with tailored recommendations for cancer surveillance and monitoring for possible late side effects from treatment. The program promotes bone and heart health, and emphasizes the importance of good nutrition and physical activity as part of a long-term survivorship care that will enable survivors to thrive after their cancer diagnosis and treatment. Referrals for nutrition counseling, cancer rehabilitation, and other specialty services are provided as needed.
The Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Survivorship Program is designed to help any woman diagnosed with breast cancer and supports the following concept from the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship: "From the moment of diagnosis through the balance of life, an individual diagnosed with cancer is a cancer survivor.

from El-P (Ft. Paul Banks) – Works Every Time Lyrics on Genius
Once the drugs hit EL-P all the judgements other people push on to him leave EL-P's mind. Most people say others change when they do drugs. Someone probably told EL-P that the drugs are making him change and/or "disappear." He is so high he either doesn't care anymore or is agreeing. Either way none of that matters because that person has disappeared to EL-P too.

Xtreme No: The Clinically Proven Highly Effective Muscle Building Supplement Now Available With 1 Extra Bottle Offer
Xtreme No is the power packed formula for muscle growth and incredible strength. The product is fortified with powerful ingredients that help boost nitric oxide levels in the body to make muscle building faster and easier.
Los Angeles, Ca (PRWEB) December 13, 2013
These days, many of workout enthusiasts prefer using all natural supplements as an addition to their workout program to get in shape and build muscles. This is the new way to get much better results in a short time. With these products, it has become easier and faster to enhance muscle mass. Xtreme No is the latest innovation in bodybuilding products that actually works to improve the physical appearance by boosting nitric oxide levels in the body. The product is formulated after an extensive research and is clinically proven for its positive results.
Click Here To Visit Xtreme No Official Website
Modern research demonstrates that nitric oxide plays a vital role in ripping the muscles. Nitric oxide is naturally produced by the body which helps to enhance healthy blood flow to the cells and tissues by dilation of blood vessels, delivering increased oxygen and essential nutrients. The higher levels of nitric oxide can initiate a day-long perpetual release, improve load capacity, maximize body recovery and improve muscularity. With adequate amounts of nitric oxide in the body, bodybuilders can get a new ripped body that they can only get from a workout program.
Xtreme No is the one way that one can use to get the required amount of nitric oxide in the body. Each bottle of this supplement provides sufficient amount of nitric oxide needed to improve the muscle mass. The good thing about it is that it contains a blend of L-Arginine amino acids that are believed to improve the muscle mass. This maximum strength blend of amino acid causes an increase in the level of nitric oxide in the body that helps move oxygen into the muscle area. When the flow of oxygen is increased to the muscle area it results in enhanced muscle mass and extremely ripped muscles. It also increases exercise tolerance, improves muscularity, strengthens the immune system and increases strength.
For more information about Xtreme No, check out its official website at http://www.onlineproductsmarket.com/order-xtremeno.

Distraction, disruption, destruction.

Proper gear is important to survive in such situations, but avoiding them is even better.

Four years on, the company is marketing the wearable, hands free computer interfacing devices for heavy and light industries, professionals and first responders. The Golden-i headsets allow the user to send and receive audiovisual information from multiple platforms by means of both voice and motion control while leaving the hands free to get on with the job.

LG's latest Magic Remote can understand natural language
December 19, 2012
At first glance, it may seem that the guy sat in front of the television is having a heated argument with his TV remote, but closer inspection will probably reveal that he's just trying to get the voice recognition feature to recognize his dialect. Folks similarly afflicted are about to be offered a helping hand from LG, in the shape of its newly updated Magic Remote with enhanced language recognition capabilities. Read More
Following a very successful funding campaign on Kickstarter, the Ubiquitous Computer – or Ubi for short – has just entered the pre-order stage ahead of expected shipping early next year. Read More
Motorola Solutions has released its own head-mounted wearable computer based on Kopin Corporation's Golden-i headset. Aimed at industrial and military users who need to keep their hands free on the job while viewing documents and schematics or getting help from far afield specialists, the Motorola HC1 Headset Computer places an 800 x 600 (SVGA) full color TFT micro-display at a viewing distance that provides a virtual image size of 15 inches. In keeping with the hands-free theme, the headset can be controlled via voice recognition and gesture controls. Read More

Looking for Ma & Pa in Ancestry's new Michigan Marriages
My Great-Grandparents lived in Michigan, specifically the Hungarian neighborhood of Del Ray. They married in 1899. I have been looking for their marriage record since 1980. Over a cup of coffee and coffeecake one morning at her kitchen table, my Grandmother suddenly brought out a slip of paper from her dresser with the family dates on it that were copied from a book from my Great-Grandparent's house. It was not a family Bible like most Hungarian kept in their homes. It was either a lexicon, geography or encyclopedia book written and probably published in Hungary as my Great-Grandfather was not Catholic. He supposedly eschewed all manners of institutionalized religions. He himself was christened as a Calvinist back in Hungary.
I have never seen the original data or the "book" so I was looking at secondary evidence, copied by my Grandmother. I did not weigh that date too heavily until I saw the same marriage dates for them in his naturalization records. TIP : Naturalization records for immigrants MAY CONTAIN their marriage date and place.
With that marriage data in hand, letters flew back and fourth to many government levels of Michigan looking for a marriage registration with no results. Simultaneously, there were many years of letter-writing with various ecclesiastical locations trying to pinpoint their marriage record. They did not marry in Hungary either.
So imagine my delight when Ancestry released the Michigan marriage database ! See Michigan Marriage Records, 1867-1952
The original images are wonderfully preserved and detailed. They have couples' birthplaces, parents, occupations and the name of the pastor/minister who registered the marriage ( which one can cross index with city directories to locate the actual parish to receive more marriage data).
There is an index but with Eastern European searches, I heavily use the side panel BROWSE THIS COLLECTION.
1) Click a record type group ( Certificates or Registers)
2) Decide on a range of dates
3) Under the Description label, choose a location.
Happy Hunting !

Creating your own Source Template in RootsMagic
I am a veteran PAF1 user. I have been using PAF literally since I was a baby. I did not have a computer but our Family History Center had one and it was love at first sight.
I am lucky that I married someone who is a computer geek. We had an Amiga for years and PAF worked on it. Then progress followed, all the way up to version 5.2. But this is not an article about PAF. When FamilySearch announced that they were discontinuing PAF downloads from their website, I reinvigorated the ROOTS MAGIC ESSENTIALS ( the free version) on my desktop. I have since updated to their current version 7.
Like many genealogists, we have our "staple" data entry genealogy software and then, our prospective ones. Because PAF is gone, I am allowed to flirt with other programs out there. Roots Magic 7 exports spreadsheets so that was a determining factor for me. I also found out you can create your own source templates.
On the RootsMagic Forum, Renee Zamora mentioned that one can create their own source templates which interests me because I use a lot of European sources that just do not cookie-cut into the templates at RootsMagic. So using Elizabeth Shown Mill's Evidence Explained2 examples, it has been an intriguing temptation to create my own.
So get a look at the templates that have been created already at this Roots Magic Homegrown Templates site and see if you like them. By the way, if you working with English records, someone has created GRO templates for your work.

Do you know what your ancestral home looks like ?
When you do research on all your families as you crawl back in time, do you wanderlust about the places they lived in? Of course, as we go further back, our wish list of "travel ancestral home visits" gets bigger!
Last spring, I had a client and she was traveling to her ancestral village to solve more mysteries. She asked me where my family lived in Abauj- Torna. I mentioned that they were 1/2 mile from the border of Slovakia. One day, I opened my mail, lo and behold, there were pictures of my ancestral village, Jablonca ! And not only of Jablonca but my Grandfather's family ancestral homestead in Hungary ! Still standing and obviously, in beautiful condition and surroundings. Thank you, Cathy!
In Hungarian records research, house numbers are noted quite frequently in church and census records so I knew that my Nagy family lived in Jablonca No. 9 [3] for many generations. Eventually, the only remaining child that lived on, with descendants, immigrated to America and a paternal Aunt lived on at No. 9 Jablonca.
Here is my family from Jablonca No. 9:

Zen & the Art of Genealogical Maintenance
Apply to your genealogical matters :
"You look at where you're going and where you are and it never makes sense, but then you look back at where you've been and a pattern seems to emerge".
"The pencil is mightier than the pen."
"For every fact there is an infinity of hypotheses. "
"The test of the machine is the satisfaction it gives you. There isn't any other test. If the machine produces tranquility it's right. If it disturbs you it's wrong until either the machine or your mind is changed."
― Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values
How many years have you been doing genealogy? What do you have to show for all your hard research, encased in your gedcoms programs on your computers or bundled in file boxes of notebooks and if you found time, you patiently printed out pages of your work. This is not an article about genealogical organization; there are plenty of them out there. I was recently inspired by Valerie Elkins Brown when ROOTSTECH 2013 live-streamed her " gen-organization " talk. Her motto was to give yourself a break and do it your way.
Three things that strikes me these days when I look at my genealogical life :
1 ) Less is more
2 ) Don't be a genealogical hoarder
3) Keep it simple.
I have been doing it various ways, for many years, rotating different methods through desktop genealogy software. Life got too busy and there are more challenges in getting the research out there which became more stressful.Then I read this inspiring article written by Lianne LaVoie of "Stories of a Canadian Family" : http://www.wikitree.com/blog/using-wikitree-to-organize-your-genealogy/
Like Lianne, I use Wikitree all the time. I research with one tab open and make a profile in the other tab in WikiTree. Sometimes I categorize the profiles by locations. Sometimes I edit, write some biography or post a follow-through on the sources I have accessed. WikiTree is a great genealogy cloud if your hardware at home fails. I am not big on uploading gedcoms to public trees so I enter my findings one-by-one manually as I work along which helps me analyze my research deeper. It's extremely convenient to access wherever I am located. It works great on my Kindle Fire when I am traveling.There are many " widgets " to view your input. I like the privacy settings, the geocoding for locations and the printing capabilities. I can also upload images of documentation ( like a free cloud ). I did not mention the side benefit of other family collaborators that found me on WikiTree.
My core work is still lodged into my computer software and I always have my spreadsheets but it's very liberating to use WikiTree as I can see my work gets out there. I am not going to say anymore on how WikiTree can help you but it's working for me. You can become a guest at www.wikitree.com to see if the wiki way works for you and then, join, for free.

Customer Reviews
Best iOS game I've ever played
That about says it all. You can just jump right in and play. Easy to learn, but steadily gets tougher and tougher. It has more strategy to it then you'd think, as well. You can also purchase things, but it's not necessary for ultimate victory. I find myself playing this game over any other game for several reasons. It's fast paced. You get to kill things, and launch them off the cliff. The screams of the vanquished are priceless. To me, that never gets old. The weapons and choice of characters are fantastic. Good music. And the challenge of the game always continues. For instance, once you beat the game with all the weapons and powers.. don't use any. It will NOT be easy to beat the game then. And the unlimited play is a great idea. Keep the enemies coming, adding harder levels. Also, Please don't change the platform format like some people want. This is your trademark. Hack/slash hack slash! Kill things! PLEASE.. multi-player. And online challengers. The biggest shame is that it's not in the top 150. Why?? All of the junk clogs the place, and a gem like this falls through the cracks. That is sad.
Phenomenal Core Gameplay.
This game is not like others out there, it may have IAP's, but it has created a new concept of not spamming your screen with timed ads, Which this app has none! You are thrusted into a continuous battle of life-death consequences as you decimate and obliterate all who stand before you, Plunging your Magic blade into any and all foe who dare challenge you on your Harrowing climb to become The Only One left on the gritty, platform known as the Death Spire. With fluent gameplay and a pound-for-pound difficulty to back it up, this game is one to please. As you download more and more apps vying for your attention, they will all be deleted, and The Only One will remain the only app left standing. There will come a time when you remember this game and think to yourself "You, my dear app, will always remain the only iOS game that did not force me to buy something, you were loyal, and above all else, entertaining." What are you waiting for, friend? Will you become the only one?
Great but too many IAPS
The game itself is great. I'm personally in love with the old style graphics. But the only problem is that there are too many in app purchases (IAPS). For example, you have to pay money for absolutely everything. It even shows you in the tutorial "how to make a IAP." This game is a money grabber. It's limiting the full potential of the game just because of money. You can't use cool skills without paying 2.99. Characters all cost money. Also, if you aren't someone willing to spend money I would say it's hard to grind that many coins playing this game to upgrade things.
I hope this review actually helps this games development so it can get to its full potential.

DashLight (Torch/Flashlight)
100,000 - 500,000 downloadsAdd this app to your listsTweets por @Appszoom
DashLight works great as an app, widget, DashClock extension, or Tasker plugin – the only app to combine all these options seamlessly.
Each component can also be used independently of the others, if you wish.
The widget can be placed on the homescreen or the lockscreen (or both), and its appearance is fully customisable (with the upgrade), allowing it to blend in with any theme you may have on your device.
The app allows users without a camera flash on their device to use the screen as a bright light source.
While the extension is the first dedicated torch/flashlight DashClock extension.
A small Tasker plugin is also included (upgrade only), allowing you to do crazy things such as flashing the LED upon receiving notifications, or shaking your device to activate the light. Get creative!
Feel free to email me if you come up with any good DashLight-related Tasker profiles that can be shared with other users.
Please Note:
• Due to the way DashClock works, I am currently unable to toggle the flash directly from the lock screen using the extension – i.e. Without unlocking the device.
Unfortunately, this is a limitation of DashClock, not this app.
• The widget however, can toggle the flash directly from the lock screen, without unlocking.
• The app was added due to a bug in Android 4.0/ICS that prevented me from having a properly functioning widget-only "app" (Issue 24208). It is also useful for users without a camera flash.
• DashLight will not work properly from the lockscreen if you have Face Unlock enabled, as the camera cannot be accessed by two apps at the same time. i.e. DashLight and Face Unlock.
DashLight is the most complete, well designed, and intuitive app torch app available. Best of all, it is (90%) free, with no ads in sight!
• DashClock extension
• Widget – Homescreen and Lockscreen
• Customisable widget appearance – blend in with any theme
• App – Screen light so no camera flash required
• Hide App Drawer Icon – Remove the app drawer icon if you only use the widget/extension
• Tasker plugin
• Control DashLight externally (see Devs section below)
• Notification tray toggle (off only)
• Auto-Off timer
• Kit Kat Immersive Mode for Screen Light
• Clean Holo design
• Simple, effective, and lightweight
• No ads and no internet permission required
You can now integrate DashLight control in to your own apps!
Simply broadcast an Intent with one of the following actions:
• com.spectrl.dashlight.FLASHLIGHT_OFF
• com.spectrl.dashlight.FLASHLIGHT_ON
• com.spectrl.dashlight.FLASHLIGHT_TOGGLE
Drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any other requests.
Prolonged use of the LED as a flashlight/torch may cause overheating, and damage to your device.
I have only been able to test on a Nexus 4/5/7, so please let me know if you have any problems with your particular device, preferably via email (don't forget to include which device you have!).
• CAMERA – required in order to control and toggle the camera flash (categorised as part of the camera hardware)
• WAKE_LOCK – used to prevent issues with the flash potentially turning off when the device sleeps (e.g. If the screen goes for an extended amount of time, but you want to keep the flash on)
• BILLING – allows the in-app upgrade to work
Tags: dashlight, tasker with flashlight.
• Improved performance - See "Advanced" settings
• New 'Light Source' setting
• Better error logging
• Bug fixes
• NEW: Hide App Drawer icon (Upgrade-only)
• NEW: Immersive Mode for 4.4 Kit Kat devices when using the Screen Light
• NEW: DashClock extension visibility scheduling
• Better HTC device compatibility:
• Light now stays on even after device is locked/screen off
• NEW: Choose size of lockscreen widget
• NEW: Tasker plugin (Upgrade-only)
(72 stars)
It is a very good app! However should the torch be turned on and off from the lock screen without actually unlocking the phone, it would be much better, or if this is an option it would be handy for many I guess!
(72 stars)
Other flashlight apps don't stay on after one navigates away from the app. But this app does. It's widget is super useful - you can turn on the flashlight without even opening the app!!!
(72 stars)
Works perfectly, I just wish you could turn the light back off by tapping the light again from the lock screen. Doing it from the notification bar is still easy enough though.
(72 stars)
Excellent lockscreen widget
(72 stars)
Could be faster
(72 stars)
Simple, small and efficient.
(72 stars)
I've got it on my unlock screen, very easy and quick to turn my torch on. I bought the upgrade to support this developer, thanks!

There's a silver lining to India's tardy justice system. While delays sap the life and money out of the aggrieved, sometimes they can tire people into admission.
Frustrated with the long-drawn court battle that ensued after Rohit Shekhar Singh filed India's first paternity suit against ND Tiwari, the veteran Congress leader seems to have caved in. Earlier this week, he finally accepted Rohit as his biological son over a well-publicised press conference, putting the matter to rest with a hug and a lot of tears.
Rohit has now got himself a daddy. But he still refers to him as Mr Tiwari. "It will take some time for the whole thing to sink in. I met him for the first time after nine years," he says. Sitting in his house in Defence Colony, a tony south-Delhi locality, the 35-year-old appears nervous and surprised with Tiwari's belated admission. "I was waiting for this day but didn't really think it would ever arrive."
It will, no doubt, be tough for Rohit to adapt to a father he has suddenly acquired; a father he fought for in a bitter seven-year-long legal case, which involved compelling a reluctant Tiwari to provide a blood sample for a DNA test. Having words like 'bastard' and 'illegitimate' thrown at you over daily court proceedings can be scarring. But what will be more difficult for Rohit to forget will be the memories of his father's remarkably schizophrenic attitude towards him. "In private, he would often tell me how I look like him and how I talk like him. But in public, I would cease to exist for him," he says.
It was after one such public rejection on the evening of October 18, 2005, that Rohit resolved to teach his flip-flopping father a lesson. It was Tiwari's 80th birthday. Rohit, then 27, had gone along with his mother, Dr Ujjwala Sharma, to wish him in Dehradun. Tiwari, who was at the time serving as the chief minister of Uttarakhand, conveyed to Rohit and his mother that he could meet them behind closed doors should they wish to celebrate his birthday, but not before the massive crowd gathered to celebrate at the CM residence. "That really hurt Rohit and he broke down. He told me that his father would never accept him in public," says Ujjwala, a professor of Sanskrit.
Tiwari decided to snap all ties with the family after that day. Until then, he had made regular appearances in his son's life, though never in public. He made it a point to attend all of Rohit's birthdays, lavishing him with gifts. "I wondered who this man was and why my mother would take me to meet him so often," says Rohit. Back in 1993, after Tiwari's wife passed away, he had come close to adopting Rohit but backed out of the decision.
Rohit found it hard to reconcile with the hypocrisy of a man who'd wax eloquent on social justice and welfare in public life and showed such scant regard for his own son. He suffered from a severe case of insomnia accompanied with major bouts of depression and anxiety. In a last-ditch effort in December 2005, he reached out again to his father. Tiwari yet again refused to acknowledge him. "Going to court was the last option. I filed the case in 2007, soon after which I suffered a heart attack and a cerebral stroke," he says.
Doctors diagnosed stress as the cause for the brain stroke that left him partially paralysed for over a year. He remained determined to go to court but had to file a petition again in 2008. In the midst of the stroke and his deteriorating health, Rohit had forgotten the minor technicality of giving a two-month notice to a serving government functionary before filing a case — Tiwari was then Governor of Andhra Pradesh. After almost two years of moving the courts, the Delhi high court finally called on Tiwari to file his written statement.
What followed next was a very public and acrimonious legal tangle between the two parties; prime-time fodder for the media. Rohit says he would now like to put aside those years of bad blood between him and his father. "I saw him for the first time in years last week. He looked frail and genuinely remorseful of his actions. I respect his decision," he says.
Despite the anger he harboured for his father, Rohit says he prayed for his health and long life even when the case was on. "All I wanted was for him to accept me as his son and let me live my life with dignity."
There are many children like me out there. I hope my case gives them the courage to fight for their rights," he says, adding that he will not seek maintenance from Tiwari but expects to be duly compensated for the litigation cost.
Now 89, the Congress leader has asked Rohit to come and live with him at his residence in Lucknow. "I would like to make up for the lost time." he says. Though he does not want to change his surname — Rohit uses his maternal grandfather's surname — he wishes his parents would reunite. "Who wouldn't want to see their family together?"
Ujjwala, now 69, is not averse to the idea. She candidly accepts that she still has a soft corner for the man who didn't own up to being the father of her child. The daughter of an eminent statesman, Professor Sher Singh, who was one of the founding fathers of the state of Haryana, Ujjwala met Tiwari sometime in the late '60s when her father was serving as education minister in Indira Gandhi's cabinet. Tiwari was then a rising star of UP politics and treated Professor Singh as his mentor. Ujjwala had separated from her husband and come to live in her father's house in Lutyens' Delhi. "I got married at 18," she says, adding that she never got along with her husband from the start. At the insistence of her parents, Ujjwala stuck around hoping that a child would make things better. But things did not improve even after the birth of her first son. "Things got worse and I moved out with my son to my father's home," she says.
She met Tiwari at a particularly difficult time in her life and soon found herself at the receiving end of his affection. For about a decade or so, Tiwari pursued Ujjwala as an ardent admirer but she kept him at arm's length even as she liked the attention. Tiwari, too, was a busy party worker. "It was only after the Emergency when Congress was routed out of UP that he had all the time to pursue me with renewed vigour," she says. "He started frequenting our house again in '77."
Tiwari eventually won her over with his persuasion. Ironically, in a bid to get to Ujjwala, he showered special attention on her first son. "I thought back then that I was being a fool ignoring a man who cared so much about me and my son," she says. The friendship soon culminated into an intimate relationship and Rohit was born in 1979.
Ujjwala's parents knew of her relationship. "I was convinced that he would marry me and adopt my son but something changed by the late '80s when he became the CM again," she says, adding that Tiwari welcomed the birth of his only son — he had no children with his wife — and was a doting father till Rohit was five. "Then, perhaps for political reasons, he became distant," she says.
Ujjwala had reconciled with the fact that he may never marry her but wanted him to adopt Rohit as his son. She remembers the time when, as a passionate suitor, Tiwari sent her a note that read: "I love you intensely". "How could I have not trusted him? I still feel an attachment to him," she says. She is happy now that he has accepted Rohit as his son and glad the agony is over for him.
Rohit says he may soon leave to spend some time with his father. Asked if he'd like to follow his father's footsteps and join politics, he says he hasn't thought about it. "If he wants me to be his political heir, I will abide by his wishes," he says.
Rohit's biggest strengths all these years have been his mother and Indian classical music. A student at the Gandharava Vishwa Vidyalaya, he hopes to get back to a life of peace with music and a reunited family.
