The question of whether to switch from a PC to a Mac arises from time to time. I made the move to a Mac in 2007, but the decision would not be as easy today. My only experience with Microsoft software these days is at work, and that doesn't make it straightforward to compare the Apple world with what a PC has to offer. Why is that?
Seagate Central Shared Storage Device
Manufacturer: Seagate
MSRP: $169 (2 TB), $229 (4 TB), available at discount pricing online.
Seagate Central
As reported on this site in some of my reviews over the last few years, I'm a huge fan of NAS (Network Attached Storage) technology. At present, I own a large RAID 5 NAS, with a slave unit to back up the first unit. Why? I have this much storage to support my media server. All my movies, TV shows, music, etc., are stored on my NAS, and its manufacturer keeps adding interesting new tools to keep their devices up to date, such as cloud support (the buzzword du jour), making it easy to connect to my NAS from anywhere in the world.
But wait a minute! This review is all about the Seagate® Central. For under $170.00 for the 2 TB model and under $230.00 for the 4 TB model, it's competitive with any number of NAS devices. One thing they don't have, however, is the killer brand of Seagate. Seagate has been around for a long time, because they make superior products and because they're quick to innovate with appropriate new technology, and they back their products up. My experiences with Seagate go back to my first office PC (sorry, Mac users…) that had a Seagate ST-225 20 megabyte (yes, megabyte) hard drive. It was built like a tank and never failed me. But I digress…

GoFlex Slim Performance USB Drive
$100 for 320GB
It's not the least expensive or the highest capacity external hard drive, but it is the slimmest, and it does have good performance on both Mac and Windows computers. You need to reformat GoFlex Slim using an idiosyncratic NTFS method specified by Seagate to achieve optimum Mac/PC compatibility. MyMac recommends you do this immediately after purchase.
LaCie MosKeyto USB Flash Drive
Company: LaCie
4 GB size $17.99
2 GB and 8 GB available
One truism of modern technology is that everything gets smaller. Computers used to fill rooms. Hard drives that stored an incredible 5 megabytes of data were the size of refrigerators. Cellphones used to be the size of a military walkie-talkie. Thumb drives, also known as flash drives, or memory sticks, used to be the size of, well, your thumb. But that's no longer the case. LaCie's MosKeyto makes the average thumb drive look as big as Shrek's thumb. Its the smallest thumb drive I've ever seen.
The Weeks Division of MyMac Labs gave the 4 GB version a good workout.

My husband uses Windows computers (oh, the shame!), but for his purposes it's fine. His computing knowledge is limited to Fantasy Football and online poker. Hubby was using a very old desktop computer that finally bit the dust this past fall. Rather than buy another computer, I let him use my HP Vista laptop.
"You have a Windows computer?" I hear you all saying right about now. Let me give you a brief history of why I have one: I went back to college in August of 2007. Even though the college is six miles away, I chose to take my classes online. This meant I needed to log on to the college servers for some of my classes. Since they are a Windows-based school, it was just easier to buy a Windows computer.
Back to the story. I used my laptop only during school, and just for school. No iTunes, no photos, just school work. The computer was shut down between semesters. I graduated in May, 2009, and kept the computer off until October 2009, when hubby needed it.
But our story takes a nasty turn. My WIndows laptop died in early December. Battery and hard drive were fine; it was probably something with the motherboard. HP wanted to charge me $259 to fix it – and they thought they were doing me a favor! No way!

In a recent quarterly conference call, Steve Jobs made the following comment regarding the current netbook discussion:
"We're not tremendously worried. As we look at the netbook category, that's a nascent category. As best as we can tell, there's not a lot of them being sold. You know, one of our entrants into that category if you will is the iPhone, for browsing the Internet, and doing email and all the other things that a netbook lets you do. And being connected via the cellular network wherever you are, an iPhone is a pretty good solution for that, and it fits in your pocket." (Click this link to read the original article)
At the time of this statement, it was clear that Apple felt that the iPhone was/is a great netbook type device. The current sales numbers for netbooks indicate that not everyone agrees with the Jobsian edict. Netbook sales have steadily increased and have surpassed iPhone sales according to the third quarter numbers for this year.
Ever since Steve Jobs got up in front of the World Wide Developer Conference and announced "yes – the rumours are true!" and thereby ushered in the Intel Macintosh age, many of us were tantalized by two diverse possibilities.
The first was the possibility of running Windows natively on a Mac. After all, switching to the Intel architecture meant that a Mac would effectively be a PC, and with some fairly minor differences this has proven to be the case. he existence of Apple's officially approved Boot Camp software for installing and running Microsoft Windows confirms this, and the clever solutions from Parallels and VMWare allow Windows to run as virtual machines under OS X. But what about the opposite? If Apple had redeveloped OS X to run on the Intel architecture, how easy would it be to run that same OS X on a standard PC designed to run Windows?
It turned out that it would be very easy indeed – principally because the development platform Apple made available to allow programmers to test their work under Intel OS X were in fact standard PCs. Naturally, as soon as the first real Intel Macs were launched, attempts were made to install OS X on conventional PCs.A thriving community and a formal project (knows as OSX86) has worked since the release of the first Intel Macs to provide simple and reliable methods to get OS X working on ordinary PCs.

For users straddling the Windows PC and Mac worlds, the question of seamless data interchange between the systems can be a challenging one. Of course, with the capabilities of OS X, the rise of USB and the availability of flash drives and external disks it is probably easier than it has ever been to pass data, but nevertheless there are still considerations of disk formats, file formats and application versions to consider.
Even when moving between applications from the same software house, compatibility is not guaranteed. Adobe applications are normally OK – but then you would expect that from the company that brought us the universal PDF format. (Editors note: production houses would tend to disagree) Microsoft, however is another matter – there are a variety of applications that they only offer in the Windows version of Office that are unreadable on the Mac platform – such as Access databases, Visio diagrams or Project files. This is frustrating as Microsoft does make reader applications available for Windows users, but does not give Mac users the same courtesy.

CrashPlan–Backup Solution for Macintosh
Company: Code 42
Price: Standard version $20, Pro version $60 (client software only).
For remote data storage, up to 50GB for $5/month; additional $0.10/month per GB of data over 50GB
(storage is free if using a friend's computer as the remote destination).
Let's get this out of the way immediately: Using the word "crash" in the name of a backup solution for your critical data is bound to bring on a serious case of bad karma. So I salute the Code 42 folks for having the chutzpah to tell it like it is when it came to bestowing a name on their ingenious backup software.
CrashPlan is a powerful, inexpensive and easy to use backup solution that runs on Mac, Windows, and even Linux. While it most closely resembles offsite backup services like BackJack or Mozy, in that it moves data to a remote location as opposed to a local hard drive or tape backup, the real beauty of CrashPlan is that it allows you to choose the remote location, which can be any Macintosh, Windows or Linux computer that a) the owner of said computer (presumably a friend/family member/poker buddy) allows you to access, and b) has enough free space to back up your stuff. In fact, the Code 42 folks actually encourage this; apparently they're happy just selling you the client software, even though they do offer storage space at their data facility.

Not only can you use your Mom's PC as a backup destination, but thanks to CrashPlan's ultra-friendly invitation options, you might not even need to call her to ask!

I now own a PC…
Yes, you heard me right. Your beloved My Mac writer has actually purchased a PC and has it set up in his home, allowing all varieties of "PCism" to invade the area. A copy of Windows 95 and Microsoft Office now lie in my room… beckoning to me in the night. But I do not answer their calls. Instead, I stay here at my faithful, if slightly jealous, Macintosh.
Alas, let me explain. This hunk of pure Windows was practically forced upon us. In order to "keep up with technology," a member of my family was moved from the office to home. Since the office was Windows-based, they would have nothing to do with Macs. Fortunately, they were fine with the idea of Virtual PC, as long as it was fast and reliable. Unfortunately, our Mac cannot support Virtual PC. Therefore, buying a PC was inevitable. At least we got it for a good price.
Don't get me wrong, though. For a PC, this is an exceptional unit. It's a Dell 200Mhz MMX machine complete with groovin' speakers, a 4GB hard drive, a 56K modem, 32MB RAM, a 4MB 3D video card, and a load of other princely goodies (Dell systems have always impressed me… maybe it's the 500+ ads they have in "PC World" each month).

Frank O'Connor was the pen-name of the Irish writer Michael O'Donovan. Born in the slums of Cork city on September 17, 1903, he was an only child, raised in poverty by his father, Michael (Mick) O'Donovan, an alcoholic former soldier in the British army, and his mother, Minnie O'Connor, who regularly supplemented the family income by working as a charwoman. O'Connor, a timid and frail child, regularly missed school because of illness. In his memoir, An Only Child (1961), O'Connor described himself as a classic mother's boy. His father, whom he feared, re-enlisted in the British army during World War 1 and was absent for a number of years during O'Connor's childhood. One result of …

Special Education:
Children With Autism
GAO-05-220: Published: Jan 14, 2005. Publicly Released: Feb 14, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6778
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
According to the Autism Society of America, about 1.5 million Americans are currently living with some form of autism. This figure includes over 100,000 school-aged children diagnosed with autism served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the primary federal legislation that addresses the educational needs of children with disabilities. As the number of children diagnosed with autism has increased, interest in understanding how children diagnosed with autism are being served under IDEA has grown. In this report we are describing the tend in the number of children diagnosed with autism served under IDEA, the services provided to these children, the estimated per pupil expenditures for educating children with autism, and approaches to their education.
The number of children diagnosed with autism served under IDEA has increased by more than 500 percent in the last decade. In 2002, data collected for the Department of Education indicated that nearly 120,000 children diagnosed with autism were being served under IDEA. This substantial increase may be due to a number of factors, including better diagnoses and a broader definition of autism. The services provided to children with autism depend on the needs of the child. These services may include speech therapy, occupational therapy, and the services of special education teachers. As with other children with disabilities, children with autism are eligible for special education services under IDEA in accordance with their individualized education programs (programs established by a team familiar with the needs of the child). The average per pupil expenditure for educating a child with autism was estimated by SEEP to be over $18,000 in the 1999-2000 school year, the most recent year for which data were available. This estimate was nearly three times the expenditure for a typical regular education student who did not receive special education services and was among the highest per pupil expenditures for school-age children receiving special education services in public schools. Finally, the National Research Council report offered several key features of successful approaches to the education of children with autism, including early intervention soon after the diagnosis of autism, which can generally occur by the age of 3. The report also offered guidelines regarding educational objectives for children with autism, including the development of social skills and expressive and receptive language and communication skills.

Roadrunner Markets with help from charitable customers raised $147,132.00 during the 22nd annual St. Jude Halloween promotion to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. (Ron Campbell/Johnson City Press)
Cade Watson, a 13-year old brain cancer survivor from Chilhowie, Va., are loyal Roadrunner Market customers and with very good cause.
At the Millennium Centre in Johnson City on Wednesday to help St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Roadrunner's 92 store managers celebrate the stores' record $147,000 donation drive for St. Jude, Cade and his mom wanted the store's associates and customers to know what every dollar given means to families like them.
"It's a nice facility," said Cade, who missed his entire fifth-grade year of school for a lifesaving, nine-month stay at the Memphis hospital. "It's a great place to be when your sick."
"He was at St. Jude for nine months for a bone marrow transplant, chemotherapy and radiation," Cade's mother, Jolene Watson, said. "During that, St. Jude took care of everything for us, accommodations, food cards, travel, everything we needed.
"The first hospital we went to told us there was nothing we could do but take him home and love him. St. Jude gave us so much hope."
Cade completed fifth grade the following year. He's in middle school now, cancer free and recently graduated from two-year's worth of follow-up visits to St. Jude every three months. He now goes on follow-up trips to Memphis every six months.
"Every dollar makes a difference," his mother said. "There are people who can't give much but they can give a dollar. One dollar makes a difference; 50 cents makes a difference. It all adds up."
John Kelly, chief operating officer for Roadrunner, gave credit for this year's record-setting one-month collection of $147,132 for St. Jude to the managers, associates and customers of 92 stores located between Black Mountain, N.C., Columbia, S.C., Wythe County, Va., and Morristown.
"We have a lot of fund-raisers but this one is something our managers are passionate about," Kelly said. "We have many customers who have been to St. Jude. This is one our customers drive."
For the second consecutive year, the Roadrunner market located on West Walnut Street beside the campus of East Tennessee State University was the top fundraising store in the company's October St. Jude campaign. The market on West State Street in Bristol was first runnerup.
To thank all of the store managers gathered at the Millennium Centre for Wednesday's check presentation, St. Jude Event Marketing Representative Courtney Kissack brought along a video message of appreciation from young St. Jude patients and their parents and siblings who thanked "St. Jude and the people who give money to St. Jude ... for saving lives and breathing life back into families that have been kept whole."
Expressing her own appreciation to Roadrunner, Kissack said, "Thank you for what you've done year after year for the kids and families at St. Jude."
Kissack noted St. Jude's Thanks and Giving campaign is ongoing. "There are many places where you can donate a dollar. Tell your friends and family."

Thread: Emmaus
June 13th, 2013 01:37 PM #1
What do you think of Emmaus?
It's a Biblical place name pronounced em-may-us. Do you think it would consistently be pronounced wrong (em-mouse or something)?
I know it's unusual and probably sounds like a made up version of Emma, but I like the symbolism of it and think it's very pretty.
What would you think if you met a little girl named Emmaus?Olivia/Livia/Livy/Liv : Thessaly/Darah/Bethel : Noelle/Eve

I would think her parents are very religious since it's a Biblical name. I am not a fan of Emma but Emmaus is cute.

It sounds like a boy name to me. Not sure why, exactly, since it's a place name. Maybe because the whole Biblical story about Emmaus is about guys talking.
June 13th, 2013 03:28 PM #7
I really like Emmaus in the biblical sense! It struck me as more masculine than feminine, but reading this, I can really see it on a girl. My only hang up is that there is an Emmaus , PA, too, which isn't as quaint and sweet as the Biblical one. Its not a bad place, but since I grew up not far from there, it strikes me as more a place than a name.Ashley

Emmaus looks like a masculine name to me, probably because it looks like a masculine version of Emma and has the -aus ending a lot of male names have. I do think it will get mispronounced a lot, similar to Klaus and Nicolaus.
There are so many great biblical people names that I'd probably try to look for something that was used on a person.
What about Amice or Annis?

You know what's really annoying about customers? I mean other than the fact that they are there in the first place. It would be so much simpler if they cooked at home and just mailed my tips to me. I hate when people ask for something that is not on the goddamn, mother fucking menu. The menu has one purpose and one purpose only: it tells you what the options are in that particular restaurant. If it's not on the menu, it means you can't have it. Plain and simple.
This couple came in last week on a busy night. He had a big ol' head and stubby little arms, not unlike Mr. Potato Head. I greeted them at the door and informed them that we only had one table left and it was on the patio. He tells me, "Oh, well it's just the two of us. We only need one table." I laughed thinking he was making a joke but I saw in his face he was dead serious. Uh, Mr. Potato Head, I was just letting you know that the only table I have available is outside and making sure you are okay with that. They followed me to to the table where I handed them menus. You know, menus? Those things that will tell what you can order for dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head asked for two glasses of champagne. I imagine they were celebrating that they found her missing ear or Toys R Us was having a sale. When I came back to the table, they were ready to order.
"Do you have potato skins?" they guys asked. I looked around to make sure I wasn't accidentally working at T.G.I.Friday's or Hooters. Once I confirmed that there were no televisions playing sports and no other guests were eating huge plates of nachos, I knew that I was still at the same restaurant I had punched in to three hours before. Then I looked at his menu to make sure I hadn't accidentally given him a Bennigan's or Houlihan's menu by mistake. Nope, he had the right menu; the same menu that everyone else was given that offers appetizers like curry mussels and baked goat cheese with mesclun salad.
"No, sir. We don't have potato skins." My eyes resisted their urge to roll.
"Oh, that's too bad. Can you make them?"
Is he for real? Can we make potato skins? The cooks don't even like when I ask for the french fries to be well done and he thinks I'm gonna ask them to make potato skins? Sure, sir. Let me just run to the kitchen and grab some potatoes. I will then scrub them, bake them, slice them, hollow them out, grate some cheese, fry some bacon, fill the skins, bake them again and then add a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle it with scallions. I'll be back in an hour and thirty minutes.
"No, sir. We can't make potato skins." Maybe there's another appetizer on the menu that you and your spud of a wife would enjoy and do not ask if we have a fucking Awesome Blossom. We don't. Nor do we have Buffalo wings, fried mozzarella, spinach artichoke dip, popcorn shrimp, sliders or quesadillas, so don't ask for that either. Look at the menu. Choose something. Order it. I will bring it.
They settled on mussels and a side of fries. As they ate the fries, I couldn't help but look at them a little bit like they were cannibals. Seriously, this couple looked so much like Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, that every time they put a french fry in their mouth it looked like they were eating one of their own kind.

OMG, you are my hero! I would have SAID all the things that went through your head, and been fired in a hot minute!I'm really impressed with how you always manage to use your God-given filter. The older I get, the less my filter is engaged. Then again, I don't care that much anymore. I think I'm going to embrace being a crabby old lady. 😉
I got that kind of shit back when I used to work at a Dunkin Donuts and people would ask if we sold fucking hamburgers. You have to be a special kind of moron to head into a donut shop and expect to find burgers, but by god those morons existed and they all lived in my town. Then when I would tell them that no, we do not serve burgers at DUNKIN FREAKIN DONUTS, a lot of them would look all pouty and be like, "But I really wanted a burger." Um, ok? I would suggest you march your ass over to the McDonalds down the road, because I can't help you there, darlin.
Even worse is when you accomodate a special request and they complain about it was made or are totally happy, but still tip really badly (10% is a bad tip people.)We frequently get asked for grilled chicken sandwiches, fish sandwiches, and BLTs- none of which are on the menu. Because we also have grilled chicken and burger buns, fish and chips and cheesteak buns, and club sandwiches- we accomodate, but for pete's sake do not complain when you find out they toasted your damn bun with butter! Or that the bacon isn't crispy enough, or you wanted shredded lettuce not leaf lettuce. It wasn't on the menu!!!!
I was only in the 'food industry' for awhile, enough time for me to learn to hate it, but I also learned to always appreciate my waiters, and the cooks, even the dishwasher. I am a very patient customer, even when I have waited too long for service (you never know what is happening in the kitchen, they could have killed each other !)I always say 'thank you' for each item that is brought to me, tip well.. oh but could I have that salad with no onions or cucumbers or green peppers, and dressing on the side, fat free, organic ..and when you come back get me a glass of water !!
This ordering items not on the menu is a peeve of mine as well. We make a few of substitutions but otherwise go find another restaurant. My husband blames the food network, "everybody thinks they're Bobby Flay" he says.
Potato skins are yummy though. I want some.
I had a couple on Thursday night, who wanted nachos, which are not on the menu. The guy started whining, and told me how easy it would be, and that the kitchen would probably do it easily, and that we could agree on the price later…in the middle of the fucking rush. It was all I could do to not scream FUCK, NO!!! In his face.
I worked at a restaurant once where they would only let us modify up to 2 things per dish. If you have an allergy and can't have onion, that's one thing, but if you try to completely redesign a dish on our menu just because you don't feel like eating what's on it…well then, maybe you should pick something else. You're destroying the flavor profile and the integrity of the dish, and anything you invent yourself is not going to taste anywhere as good as what the chef designed. Order it as intended, or don't order it.
I used to work at a fast food restaurant that had served over a million customers by the time I started working there. By now, they've had over a billion served. With that many burgers sold, people are damned well aware of what is sold on that menu.It never failed that some smartass would come through and ask for a Whopper, or a Whataburger with cheese. I never said a word, and simply punched the "Quarter Pounder with cheese" button. Then I'd read the order back, just the way they'd asked for it. One Whopper, one king sized fry, and a large Pepsi (because Burger King used to seel Pepsi products). When they'd get to the window, I'd hand them their quarter pounder with cheese, their large fry, and their large Coke and wish them a good day. Not one of them ever came back and complained that they didn't get what they'd ordered.
I'll try to remember NEVER to order off te menu again. EVER.
I went to Stanley's in NOLA (a fabulous diner by the way once and they had great sounding homemade corned beef hash with poached eggs on the menu. I asked the server if I could substitute, at this very moment I could see her go rigid and her eyes glaze over, scrambled eggs for poached. She was okay with that and gave us great service. But you could tell she had been asked one too many times for bullshit requests.
A summer spent at the Olive Garden under the tutelage of a woman who took God's lunch order while he was creating the world taught me one thing. Prevaricate. If that fails, give them some extra bread sticks. Bread always shuts them up.

The foreign exchange market (forex, FX, or currency market) is a global, worldwide decentralized financial market for trading currencies. Financial centers around the world function as anchors of trading between a wide range of different types of buyers and sellers around the clock, with the exception of weekends. The foreign exchange market determines the relative values of different currencies. The primary purpose of the foreign exchange is to assist international trade and investment, by allowing businesses to convert one currency to another currency. For example, it permits a US business to import British goods and pay Pound Sterling, even though the business' income is in US dollars. It also supports direct speculation in the value of currencies, and the carry trade, speculation on the change in interest rates in two currencies. In a typical foreign exchange transaction, a party purchases a quantity of one currency by paying a quantity of another currency.
The foreign exchange market is unique because of
Its huge trading volume representing the largest asset class in the world leading to high liquidity;
Its geographical dispersion;
Its continuous operation: 24 hours a day except weekends, i.e. trading from 20:15 GMT on Sunday until 22:00 GMT Friday;
The variety of factors that affect exchange rates;
The low margins of relative profit compared with other markets of fixed income; and

On Wednesday afternoon, the NBA released the rosters for its annual Rising Stars Challenge, which is made up of rookie and second-year players.
Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Hornets and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist of the Charlotte Bobcats will represent UK as rookies in the event. Brandon Knight of the Detroit Pistons will also represent the Big Blue Nation as a "Sophomore" in the exhibition.
This season, former NBA stars Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley will be head coaches for the game, and each will be picking their team from the pool of rookie and sophomore players. The draft will be held on Feb. 7 and fans are encouraged to vote online at NBA.com for the starters in the game, which kicks off All-Star Weekend on Friday, Feb. 15 in Houston.
The "Rookie-Sophomore" game could potentially reunite Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist on the same team since teaming up to win the 2012 NCAA National Championship for the University of Kentucky. Regardless, at least two former Wildcats will be paired on the same team and potentially all three could be playing together under Barkley or O'Neal.
Here are the rest of the participants for the Rising Stars Challenge:
Anthony Davis (Hornets), Damian Lillard (Blazers), Harrison Barnes (Warriors), Brad Beal (Wizards), Andre Drummond (Pistons), Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (Bobcats), Alexey Shved (Timberwolves), Dion Waiters (Cavs) and Tyler Zeller (Cavs).
Kyrie Irving (Cavs), Kenneth Faried (Nuggets), Brandon Knight (Pistons), Kawhi Leonard (Spurs), Chandler Parsons (Rockets), Klay Thompson (Warriors), Tristan Thompson (Cavaliers), Nikola Vucevic (Magic) and Kemba Walker (Bobcats).

Die hard
I wanted a cube-shaped dice with each of three of its faces having a perfect square number of spots and each of the remaining faces having a prime number of spots. To follow convention I wanted each face to have a different number of spots and I also wanted opposite pairs of faces to add up to the same total.
To make this dice I took eight identical standard dice and stuck them together to form a cube of double the size. On closer investigation I found that none of the faces of four spots from the eight original dice was visible on the exterior of my new dice.
How many faces of one spot and how many faces of two spots from the original dice were visible on the exterior of my new dice?

Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and Triglycerides
Facts about cholesterol:
Cholesterol is a fat-like, waxy substance that can be found in all parts of your child's body. It aids in the production of cell membranes, some hormones, and vitamin D. The cholesterol in blood comes from two sources: the foods your child eats and his/her liver. However, your child's liver makes all of the cholesterol your child's body needs.
Cholesterol and other fats are transported through the bloodstream in the form of round particles called lipoproteins. The two most commonly known lipoproteins are low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL).
|What is LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol?
|What is HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol?
This type of cholesterol is commonly called "bad " cholesterol. It can contribute to the formation of plaque build up in the arteries, known as atherosclerosis.
LDL levels should be low. To help lower LDL levels, help your child to:
This type of cholesterol is known as "good" cholesterol, and is a type of fat in the blood that helps to remove cholesterol from the blood, preventing the fatty build up and formation of plaque.
HDL should be as high as possible. It is often possible to raise HDL by:
For some children, medication may be needed. Because raising HDL can be complicated, you should work with your child's physician on developing a therapeutic plan.
Checking blood cholesterol levels:
A cholesterol screening is an overall look at, or profile of, the fats in the blood.
Physicians in the past felt that children were at little risk for developing high cholesterol levels and other risk factors for heart diseases affecting the coronary arteries and blood vessels until later in life. However, many physicians now realize that children are increasingly at risk for having high blood cholesterol levels as a result of one, or more of the following:
- sedentary lifestyles (playing video games and watching TV instead of participating in vigorous exercise)
- high-fat junk food and fast-food diets
- obesity
- family history of high cholesterol levels
Children and adolescents with high cholesterol are at higher risk for developing heart disease as adults. Many physicians are recognizing that keeping blood cholesterol levels in normal ranges throughout one's lifetime may be of great benefit in reducing the likelihood of developing coronary artery disease and high blood pressure.
Cholesterol testing for children:
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), a division of the National Institutes of Health, recommends that cholesterol testing begin at age 2 for any child who has the following:
- at least one parent who has been found to have high blood cholesterol (240 milligrams or greater)
- a family history of early heart disease (before age 55 in a parent or grandparent)
The NHLBI also recommends that children who have demonstrated risk factors, such as obesity, should have cholesterol and other lipids tested periodically by their physicians.
In 2008, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) published updated guidelines that added more specific recommendations to those above, including testing of children older than 2 years whose family health history is unknown. The AAP also recommends that physicians should consider giving cholesterol-lowering medications (statins) to children more than 8 years old who have high LDL blood levels.
A full lipid profile shows the actual levels of each type of fat in the blood: LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and others. Consult your child's physician regarding the timeliness of this test.
What is a healthy blood cholesterol level?
Blood cholesterol is very specific to each individual. A full lipid profile can be an important part of your child's medical history, and important information for your child's physician to have. In general, healthy levels are as follows:
- LDL - less than 130 milligrams (mg)
- HDL - greater than 35 mg (less than 35 mg puts your child at higher risk for heart disease)
The NHLBI recommends the following guidelines for cholesterol levels in children and teenagers (ages 2 to 19) from families with high blood cholesterol or early heart disease:
|Total cholesterol
|LDL cholesterol
|Less than 170 mg
|Less than 110 mg
|170 to 199 mg
|110 to 129 mg
|200 mg or greater
|130 mg or greater
Statistics about cholesterol:
Elevated cholesterol is a risk for many Americans. Consider these statistics:
- About 98.6 million American adults have total blood cholesterol levels of 200 mg/dL and higher, and of those about 34.4 million American adults have level of 240 or above.
- Elevated cholesterol levels early in life may play a role in the development of adult atherosclerosis.
- According to the American Heart Association, high blood cholesterol that runs in families will affect the future of an unknown (but probably large) number of children.
What are triglycerides?
Triglycerides are another class of fat found in the bloodstream. The bulk of your child's body fat tissue is in the form of triglycerides.
The link between triglycerides and heart disease is under clinical investigation. However, many children with high triglyceride levels also have other risk factors such as high LDL levels or low HDL levels.
What causes elevated triglyceride levels?
Elevated triglyceride levels may be caused by medical conditions such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, kidney disease, or liver disease. Dietary causes of elevated triglyceride levels may include obesity and high intakes of fat, alcohol, and concentrated sweets.

Ocean levels rising twice as fast
Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, news release
November 25, 2005
Global ocean levels are rising twice as fast today as they were 150 years ago according to research presented in Science by a team of researchers. Using core samples of sediments along the New Jersey coast, the scientists found that rates of sea level change have climbed significantly over the past 200 years, coinciding with the beginning of the industrial revolution when carbon dioxide emissions began to dramatically increase. Carbon dioxide is the principal greenhouse gas believed to contribute to global warming.
Below is a news release from Rutgers, one of the institutions involved in the research.
Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, news release
Rutgers-led team shows rising ocean levels tied to human-induced climate change
Global ocean levels are rising twice as fast today as they were 150 years ago, and human-induced warming appears to be the culprit, say scientists at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and collaborating institutions.
While the speed at which the ocean is rising almost two millimeters per year today compared to one millimeter annually for the past several thousand years may not be fodder for the next disaster movie, it affirms scientific concerns of accelerated global warming.
In an article published in the Nov. 25 issue of the journal Science, Rutgers professor of geological sciences Kenneth G. Miller reports on a new record of sea level change during the past 100 million years based on drilling studies along the New Jersey coast. The findings establish a steady millimeter-per-year rise from 5,000 years ago until about 200 years ago.
|Carbon dioxide level highest in 650,000 years Carbon dioxide levels are now 27 percent higher than at any point in the last 650,000 years, according to research into Antarctic ice cores published on Thursday in Science. Analysis of carbon dioxide in the ancient Antarctic ice showed that at no point in the past 650,000 years did levels approach today's carbon dioxide concentrations of around 380 parts per million (ppm). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projects that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels could reach 450-550 ppm by 2050, possibly resulting in higher temperatures and rising sea levels.
"The main thing that's changed since the 19th century and the beginning of modern observation has been the widespread increase in fossil fuel use and more greenhouse gases," he added. "Our record therefore provides a new and reliable baseline to use in addressing global warming."
The new sea level record spanning 100 million years of geologic time is the first comprehensive one scientists have produced since a commercial research endeavor in 1987, which, according to Miller, was not fully documented and verifiable.
The findings by Miller's team argue against some widely held tenets of geological science. Miller claims, for example, that ocean heights 100 million years ago and earlier were 150 to 200 meters lower than scientists had previously thought. Changes at these levels can only be caused by the Earth's crust shifting on the ocean floor. Miller's findings, therefore, imply less ocean-crust production than scientists had widely assumed.

Miller's team took five 500-meter-deep core samples of sediments onshore along New Jersey's coastline from Cape May to Sandy Hook. The scientists examined the sediment type, fossils, and variations in isotopes, or different forms of the same elements, at different levels in the cores they extracted. Miller also correlated these measurements with others from throughout the world to substantiate the global nature of their record.
The Rutgers study included participants from the New Jersey Geological Survey, the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, Western Michigan University, the University of Oregon and Queens College in Flushing, N.Y. The National Science Foundation provided major funding for the study.

Navigate the BIG Show like a pro
With more than 520 exhibitors and more than 27,600 attendees, the NRF Annual Convention & EXPO has certainly earned the nickname Retail's BIG Show. Needless to say, there's a lot going on, so here are a few tips to help you make the most of it.
1. Download the mobile app.
The app has practically everything you need—personalized agenda, EXPO maps, exhibitor locations, session descriptions that you can filter by track or topic, speaker bios, the #NRF14 twitter feed and more! Bonus: Use the app to build your schedule in advance—you'll stay focused at the show and it will get you familiar with the app before you go.
2. Print the Quick Program Guide.
For those who prefer a paper guide of the show, download and print the streamlined Quick Guide, which contains an at-a-glance view of the essentials.
3. Skip the convention center lines. Check in at satellite registration.
We do our best, but when thousands of people show up at once, lines are inevitable. Good thing there's satellite registration at our two biggest hotels—the Marriott Marquis and the Sheraton New York Times Square. If you're staying there or nearby, get your badge there first and skip the lines at the show. Bonus: Whether you're checking in at the the Convention Center or one of the satellite locations, bring your barcoded registration confirmation email so you can speed through the (usually much shorter and faster) "Scan and Go" line.
4. Tweet and Instagram with us!
People are already connecting and talking on Twitter! Follow us on Twitter at @NRFnews and @RetailsBIGShow, and tweet with the hashtag #nrf14. We'll also have lots of coverage on Retail's BIG Blog during and after the event. Bonus: We're giving $100 to the best shots on Instagram – tag them with #nrf14 and you could win!

MAC Flatter Me Pearlmatte Face Powder
MAC Flatter Me Pearlmatte Face Powder ($30.00 for 0.35 oz.) is described as a "golden peach base with coral hearts." The base color is a warm peach with a soft, frosted finish (and it is reminiscent of Cream Soda in some ways). The hearts are a medium pink-coral with a subtle golden sheen. When everything is mixed together, the resulting shade is a soft, pinky-coral with a light golden sheen. It's slightly warm-toned. MAC Legendary is just a touch pinker. MAC Immortal Flower is much, much pinker. Tarina Tarantino Feather is brighter, pinker. Guerlain Blush G is pinker and has a stronger sheen. MAC Shell Pearl is similar but a touch more muted.
I had the same problem with Flatter Me as I did Veronica's Blush–the hearts did not want to yield color at all. I took a metal spatula to it and started scraping off flakes of it, so I could at least show the color on the skin. What you're seeing on my skin are chunks of the product smoothed out! It seems better when you really pass the brush back and forth a few times, because the combined color is tinted pink enough that clearly there is some payoff coming from those hearts!
The texture is very soft to the touch with a finely-milled powder that does kick up some powder. On the skin and blended out, it doesn't look powdery, and the finish is a soft shimmer-sheen so it doesn't emphasize the skin's texture or pores. This shade lasted eight hours well, and after nine hours, I noticed some minor fading, but it had good wear overall. Because of the overall lightness of the color, it may not show up well on deeper skin tones; on my medium complexion, it shows up as a kiss of pink-coral. Of all the products not to sell out, this one surprised me the most–a coral face product with hearts–I still can't believe it.

This is the amount of money that Virginia has lost since January 1, 2014 because our state legislators have failed to implement Medicaid expansion.
Counter Embed Code: Copy and paste the code below to add the counter to your website!
Medicaid is a health insurance program that helps people who might not be able to afford healthcare coverage for themselves and their children. The Affordable Care Act allows states to expand their medicaid programs to cover individuals earning around $15,400/year and families (of four) earning around $32,000/year.
When the Affordable Care Act was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2012, they did not require states to expand their Medicaid programs to cover low income residents.Despite debate during the 2013 and 2014 General Assembly sessions, Virginia has not yet expanded Medicaid. Governor McAuliffe has expressed support for Medicaid expansion and "closing the coverage gap" on numerous occasions and remains committed to the cause.
Don't let your legislators make a decision without hearing your voice.
Expanding Medicaid is the right thing for Virginia.

While it is easy to build your website and then leave it hoping it will serve your business well, it is another challenge to achieve truly great success from your site.
In this resource article we look at 9 things you can do to achieve success with your website.
Tip 1 – Recognise the differences between web and print
Many website owners create content for their site by simply duplicating the information in their print materials (i.e. brochures, flyers, proposals etc). This is a big mistake as the internet is a completely different medium and needs to be treated differently to print, particularly when it comes down to copywriting.
Websites should embrace the technology that has been made available. Include features in your website that encourage visitors to interact with your site. Perhaps a forum, blog, polls etc. Provide a search capability – either to search your own website or a popular search engine like Google.
Provide scannable and concise text. People read slower online and usually skim the content. Break content up, use dot points and images as opposed to pages and pages of text. For long sections of text, provide visitors with an option to open the text as a PDF.
Tip 2 – Value your customer's time
You only have a short amount of time to convince a visitor to stay on your website. Do this by having a great graphically designed home page that grabs their attention immediately. Make it easy for them to navigate through your site easily and quickly. Drops downs are an efficient method of navigation for larger sites. Provide the most sought after information in an easily found place.
Tip 3 – Design your site for visitors – not yourself
Another mistake website owners make it tailoring the site to their own needs and wants. You need to put yourself in the position of the visitors you want to attract and provide the navigation, content and interactivity they are looking for. Avoid over-flattering your business or yourself as this could turn people away. Consider hiring an experience web copy writer to write your content. Test your site with clients and potential clients and see what they think.
Tip 4 – Involve the visitor
Websites that do well and have repeat visitors do so by interacting with their visitors. They ask for feedback and suggestions on their products or services and act on it. Regularly communicating with your visitors will ensure they return to your website.
Tip 5 – Keep it current
There is nothing worse than visiting a website that has a great layout and design, but their content is out of date. Make sure you regularly review each page of your website to ensure the content is relevant and timely. Check for broken links and missing images etc. If you have an ecommerce website, try providing visitors with examples about how your products can be used in certain situation etc. Provide tips and techniques.
Utilising a Content Management System such as the one provided by Web Circle can be a great way to keep your homepage up to date. You can easily log in yourself and change the main page content on your sites pages. You can also easily do things like display the most recent site updates on the homepage or display popular products on the homepage without you even having to change the content yourself. This is the real benefit of having a dynamic content-managed website.
Keeping content regularly updated is also a good idea from a search engine point of view as the more regularly the content is updated the more relevant the search engines think your site is.
Tip 6 – Pay attention to the design
A professionally designed website will impress your potential clients and reflect a professional business. Ensure you hire a talented interface designer who will work with you to achieve the website you want and portray a consistent and professional corporate image.
Make sure the design is suited to your target market, and not the designers own personal style. Avoid overusing flashy elements that slow the site down and don't contribute to the purpose of the site. Screen resolution is another factor to consider. Just because the website looks great
on your web designers 30 inch monitor, doesn't mean its going to look the same on your visitors 17 inch screen.
The standard minimum resolution these days is 1024 x 768 pixels and your site should look good on a monitor of this resolution all the way up to a 22″ or above with a high resolution. Do this by having your site at a fixed width of around 1000 pixels and centred or have it fit the width of the screen.
Remember, visitors often judge your business by your website and so they should. Businesses that want to portray a professional image invest in developing professional marketing materials including their website.
Tip 7 – Build it and they won't come
There are literally billions of website in existence today and thousands more being added every day. If you expect to build a website and people will automatically flock to it you are mistaken. All of the major media players have huge stakes in the web so competition is fierce. You need to give a lot of thought to how and why people are going to access your site.
Always include your web address on all of your marketing material such as business cards, letter heads, flyers, brochures, catalogues etc. Tell people about your site in conversation. Ask clients to log on and provide you feedback on it. Add your site to online directories. Use it as a delivery medium for your news releases. Run competitions. Do whatever makes sense to your business to get more people to your site and get them returning to your site time and time again.
Tip 8 – Give something away
If one of the goals of your site is to generate business leads, you need to work out a way to get people's contact details. A great way to do this is to give something away for free. Perhaps a free eBook that they can download by registering or perhaps subscription to your valuable industry newsletter. Use your website as a way to get contact details and stay in contact with potential clients.
Tip 9 – Track Your Visitors
If you aren't receiving detailed statistics on your website traffic, you need to speak to your web host immediately. This information is invaluable in determining how many visitors you receive on any given day, what search phrases they are using in search engines and more. Once you have this information it's important to track it each month to see how you are travelling and implement changes/additions accordingly. There are also a lot of website measures that aren't tracked in web stats. What about where you are coming up in Google or how many sites are linking to your site etc. Ask your web provider for a full report on your site's overall performance.
The 9 tips mentioned here are broad tips that apply to almost all sites. Have a think about your site and measure it against these things. if you are not doing these things you aren't getting the maximum return from your website investment.

Grieving father demands answers in the shooting death of Ibragim Todashev
Janelle Irwin
WMNF Drive-Time News Tuesday | Listen to this entire show:
The father of a man killed by law enforcement officers while being questioned about his relationship with the Boston Marathon bombing suspects is looking for answers about why his son was shot multiple times. During a press conference Tuesday at the Council on American-Islamic Relations office in Tampa, Abdulbaki Todashev spoke publicly about his son.
âI came to America to rely on [the] American legal system, that I will be able to pursue and achieve the justice for my son⦠I hope and pray that no mother and no father will ever have to endure and go through what Iâm going through right now. My son was a very good boy and he is innocent and he was simply killed.â
Todashev spoke through a translator.
The Orlando-area state attorney announced last week he was launching an independent review of the shooting. Supporters announced Tuesday that Todashev retained Tampa attorneys Barry Cohen and Eric Ludin to try to compel prosecutors to file charges against the law enforcement officers involved in the shooting death of his son, Ibragim Todashev in May. The legal team will also consider civil action. Ludin, one of the attorneys, said there doesnât appear to be any reason for officers to have opened fire.
âThe FBI reached out to Mr. Todashevâs son and spoke to him and asked to speak to him again. Mr. Todashevâs son already had a plain ticket to leave the United States to go back to Russia to visit with his family. He was assured by the FBI that this would be the last time that they wanted to speak to him and he delayed his trip home to meet with the FBI because of, apparently, an effort to want to be cooperative.â
Initial reports from the FBI claimed Ibragim Todashev lunged at officers with a knife. But they later said it was no longer clear what happened. Other speculation has surfaced suggesting Todashev may have had a gun or a sword or that he may have simply just engaged in a physical altercation. Ludin said there is no evidence suggesting Todashev had a weapon. He added the slain man was a mixed martial arts fighter and that was how he was connected to the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.
âThereâs a gym where people train for that and my clientâs son also trained at that gym for a period of time. So, they were an acquaintance. I think that the FBI, in its effort to do a complete investigation of what happened in Boston, made it a point to speak to anybody who was an acquaintance of the bombing suspects.â
The Council on American-Islamic Relations of Florida, or CAIR, has also jumped on board to find some answers. Executive director Hassan Shibly said Todashev was recovering from knee surgery and was functioning as a âdisabled fighter.â Shibly showed photos of Todashevâs knee with dozens of staples holding together the incision after the surgery, but was not able to provide an exact date of the surgery.
âBut it was relatively recent. He was still limping. He was still having a difficult time walking at the time when he was being interviewed by the agents.â
CAIR hired private investigators and an ex-cop who found no evidence that Todashev used or even had access to a weapon. Shibly said there have also been sources within involved departments who have confirmed that.
âI think whatâs clear is that our sources within the Department of Justice and the FBI have said that it appears he was unarmed when this whole thing happened. And remember, the onus is on the FBI. If they are questioning somebody who they believe is dangerous â which we have no reason to believe he was dangerous â but if they were questioning somebody in his home, I think the onus is on them to make sure the area is secure and if they didnât than they didnât do a professional job and policies need to be changed, people need to be reprimanded.â
The ACLU of Florida requested a Department of Justice probe into the shooting, but that was declined. Yvette Acosta MacMillan, a staff attorney with the ACLU, said the agency also requested reports from the FBI and the medical examinerâs office â both of which were also declined.
âOne of the arguments we put in for an independent investigation was that the FBI should not be investigating itself. There was a New York Times report after much research that indicated that the last 150 shootings involving FBI agents after the FBI conducted investigations, they were all determined to be justified.â
CAIRâs Hassan Shibly said his group has also tried to access those reports.
âHowever, the FBI barred the medical examinerâs office from releasing that report, even to the family and that was very upsetting. Now, I think we tend to understand the reason it was barred is potentially because of the criminal investigations and, in fact it was barred because of the criminal investigation potentially into the officers involved as we understand it.â
Despite a lack of medical reports verifying what happened to the younger Todashev, Shibly claims he was shot at least 7 times.
âWell, we have his friends and family, they washed his body, they prepared it for the burial and we have the photographs of the body where thereâs about, over a dozen bullet wounds and injuries on the body. But, again, we canât confirm the exact nature of all those injuries until we have the medical examiner report. Thatâs why weâre not releasing our preliminary investigation as of yet.â
Shiblyâs private investigation into the shooting death of Ibragim Todashev uncovered other possibly damning evidence.
âOne of the things weâve confirmed is that only one officer â it was the FBI agent that shot all the bullets. And what the homicide detectiveâs opinion was, because he worked for law enforcement for over 20 years, he said that if thereâs a justifiable shooting, typically all of the officers will draw their weapons.â
Meanwhile in Massachusetts, two other people associated with the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect have also been questioned by FBI agents. The two college friends of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were indicted Tuesday for disposing of evidence from his dorm room. They are accused of throwing away fireworks. Both suspects deny doing anything wrong. If convicted, they face up to 20 years in prison.

The Father should be questioned about his moooslim ties and future terrorist threats
FBI Agents in Florida, especially in the " BUSH " area are no strangers to murdering innocent people. One case being the gross murder of Mary Giglia Johnson. She was murdered for her Son's money in Chase Bank in in Tampa, Florida. The U.S. Attorney that spoke to a family member about his mother murder murder was no other than Lee Bentley. His take, while no one was listening was threatening the family and warning them to never contact The DOJ again. it will be interesting to see what " Song and Dance "Bentley has in-store for the family of Mr. Todashev. Florida is a very corrupt place and has seen it's better days. They will provably try to bribe him to go away. 12 Minutes Ago · Flag · Like · Reply Read more: http://www.abcactionnews.com/dpp/news/region_tampa/father-of-chechen-man-shot-during-an-fbi-interrogation-meets-in-tampa-with-the-us-attorney#ixzz2crw1JpKC

Wood Oven Roast Beef
1 Attachment(s)
I marinated a nice piece of beef overnight in wine, olive oil, thyme and rosemary.
Next day I put it on a bed of rosemary in a terracotta dish and topped it with some garlic cloves cut in half and a branch of rosemary.
Unfortunately I could not find my meat thermometer and it ended up medium well....but still tasted great and made some fine sandwiches later.
