Living with COPD
Short of Breath? Tips for COPD Breathlessness
Whether you have COPD or someone you love has COPD, an episode of breathlessness can wreak havoc with your emotions.
Breathlessness is a common symptom of a COPD exacerbation. Since we all need oxygen to live, the feeling of not being able to get enough air can trigger a "suffocation alarm." The natural response is anxiety and panic. But the more someone panics, the more muscles in the body tighten. That makes it even more difficult to breathe.
Recommended Related to Lung Disease/Respiratory Problems
Getting pneumonia after surgery can be quite serious. According to the CDC, studies have suggested that pneumonia acquired in the hospital can be fatal as often as 33% of the time. So you need to make an effort to protect yourself. Follow your doctor's instructions about not eating or drinking before surgery. Usually, your doctor will tell you not to eat or drink after midnight the night before surgery. You must follow that advice. If you're going under anesthesia and still have food in...
Read the Pneumonia: Reducing Your Risk article > >
There are things a person with COPD can do to breathe more easily. And there are ways a caregiver can help. But both the person with COPD and the caregiver must remain calm. To be ready for the possibility of a sudden episode of breathlessness, it's important to know how to relax. And learning to control anxiety and panic will help you deal with the sudden occurrence of a COPD exacerbation.
Anxiety and COPD
Anxiety can be a sign that someone is not getting enough oxygen, says Laurence Smolley, MD, in the book Breathe Right Now. But anxiety is not particularly helpful. Smolley is the chairman of the department of pulmonary medicine and the medical director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Cleveland Clinic in Florida. He explains that because anxiety tightens muscles, it makes it even harder to breathe.
When a person is fearful, respiration quickens. Yet taking a deep, slow breath can have a calming effect and reduce this stress.
It's like cutting your finger. You may not feel pain until you look at the finger and see blood. Then the anxiety caused by seeing the blood can help trigger a response of pain.
With COPD, the fear of breathlessness -- even if breathing is not currently a problem -- can cause an increase in a person's heart rate and quicken breathing. The added stress can make the respiratory system work harder. And the harder it has to work, the more difficult it becomes to breathe and the more likely it is someone will experience breathlessness.
Worry, Airway Constriction, and the Need to Relax
Still, who doesn't panic when it's hard to breathe? Studies show that emotion or worry causes the body to produce the chemical acetylcholine, which is a neurotransmitter. One effect of acetylcholine is to cause the airways to constrict even more. Smolley says that just worrying about breathlessness may actually trigger shortness of breath. The power of suggestion is that strong.

By Jared Serbu Reporter Federal News Radio
The Army's second version of its Apps for Army competition will expand beyond the Army itself, inviting submissions from developers in industry and the public, officials said Friday.
The first competition, designed to test whether the Army could overcome the Defense Department's sluggishness in developing and fielding new software applications, was open only to Army uniformed members and civilians.
The goal was to create a process that could deliver new capability within as little as 90 days. Fifty three applications had been submitted by the time the contest closed in May 2010, and 25 ultimately made it through the Army Chief Information Officer's software certification process.
"In 2010 the Apps for the Army challenge provided a venue for internal Army early adopters and innovators," Gary Blohm, the Army CIO's lead for Army software transformation said in a statement provided by the Army. "This time the Army wants to tap into industry, and not just for its well-known app development capabilities, but to help them look at new ways to broaden third party participation in the marketplace."
It remained unclear how the second challenge would interact with existing government acquisition regulations. The Army CIO's office said it was "designing prototype monetization business models and addressing intellectual property rights."
The challenge will focus not only on mobile applications developed for systems such as Apple's iOS and Google's Android, but on cross-platform capabilities that can be utilized regardless of the device that is used to access them.
"Our ability to adopt more agile practices and processes is based on the ongoing collapse and standardization of computing environments," Blohm said. "This means we are looking to establish an online capability that can support applications that are accessed by a variety of devices across diverse mission areas."

Challenges ahead for Catholic health care, Keehan says

Catholic health care systems must adapt to the new health care law while maintaining mission to serve poor and vulnerable, Sr. Carol Keehan told a Kansas City, Mo., audience.
The brainchild of two Catholic Knights of Malta has led to hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours and the renovation of 8,000 low-income homes.
Zion Evrony, Israel's ambassador to the Vatican, lectured Tuesday night at Rockhurst University. He spoke with great hope about the future of Catholic-Jewish relations, particularly in light of Pope Francis' papacy.
The film "Rise and Dream" focuses on the struggle for harmony in the city of Zamboanga, where Muslims and Christians live side by side.
A former Kansas City pastor was sentenced Thursday to 50 years in federal prison on child pornography charges.
The Wednesday hearings quickly turned colorful when two activists refused to pay their fines and demanded jail time.
Tōrō nagashi is the Japanese ceremony in which participants float paper lanterns. This is done based on the belief that this guides the spirits of the departed back to the other world. The ceremony is also done by many peace communities to commemorate those lost in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on Aug. 6 and 9, 1945.
"Gatherings such as this are much more powerful than a nuclear weapon," one protestor said.
Part educational, part fundraiser and part interactive, the experience allows students to show solidarity with the nearly 43 million displaced persons worldwide.
Diana Butler Bass says in the 21st century, the Catholic church has become less of an institution and more of a church of the people of God.

I blew my own son
Posted Sep 16, 2012 by anonymous | 5258 views | 22 comments
Hi everyone , i have been though a rough patch with having my son and dealing with my divorce. So one night i was so stressed out that I got wasted and smoked a few bowls of crack to ease with the pain. For some reason on the peak i seem to be getting really hot and wet down there if any of you know what i mean. So first i used my vibrator but it just didn't seem to be working. So i got this weird fetish where i'd suck my own sons dick. I know it might seem wrong but i seem to get so wet by doing this. Only down side is when he pisses in my mouth for a bit. Am i considered normal, do any other parents do this?

It should not be winnowing candidates at this stage in the game.
winnowing it down to the 10 best series was a near-impossible task.
Dobie believed that coyotes served a useful function in the animal kingdom by winnowing out the sick and the wounded of a species.
Old English windwian, from wind "air in motion, paring down," see wind (n.1). Cognate with Old Norse vinza, Old High German winton "to fan, winnow," Gothic diswinþjan "to throw (grain) apart," Latin vannus "winnowing fan."
Corn was winnowed, (1.) By being thrown up by a shovel against the wind. As a rule this was done in the evening or during the night, when the west wind from the sea was blowing, which was a moderate breeze and fitted for the purpose. The north wind was too strong, and the east wind came in gusts. (2.) By the use of a fan or van, by which the chaff was blown away (Ruth 3:2; Isa. 30:24; Jer. 4:11, 12; Matt. 3:12).

Think about this. Life is a dream,and a test. Constantly having to choose between right and wrong, being put with a temporary family, while you live, learning to love and forget, it's just one giant lucid dream. And soon enough, the dream will be over and you'll wake up somewhere better.

The Space
My family & I have lived in the beautiful old waterside village of Glounthaune for many happy years. Recently we converted our art studio~gallery at the rear of the house into a very comfortable large double studio apartment which is suitable for holiday guests and also for corporate guests. It has a kitchen and shower room. There is free parking just outside our gate which is always available for guests, we are also on the Cork~Cobh~Midleton Train line for guests that do not have a car. The cosy private space is enclosed by a stone courtyard with an abundance of colourful planting which is very pleasant to sit out and relax in. The apartment is furnished in a vintage country style, with pieces that I have collected and up cycled for your pleasure. The art work is done by myself, friends and family. The double bed has a good mattress with electric blanket which is surrounded by a Victorian frame. There is a little airbed with sleeping bag for a small child under the bed!. The apartment is a very comfortable and a peaceful place to hang out in, in summer or winter. Should one just wish to stay put, there is a good selection of breakfast/lunch/tea nibbles, (frozen dinners in freezer on request), lots of books, TV (for dvd's only for the mo!) eclectic selection of cd's, a large information pack for local and city sights and off the beaten track things to do in general. A mobile phone is available for our foreign guests to use locally while at the property if needed. The kitchen has a sink (instant hot water) fridge, microwave, small electric oven, freezer, expresso machine, kettle, toaster, washer & dryer. The shower room has a large electric shower unit, wc, sink, towels, shampoo & shower gel. There are electric heaters through out the well insulated apartment. Electric Blanket all year round!
Glounthaune Village is a small historic village/hamlet with no through road, with Cork estuary lapping against its key walls. The village is accessed over an old railway bridge from the main road. The village is always beautifully kept by the villagers and is especially lovely in Spring & Summer when so many flowers and shrubs are in bloom. We have a park & a playground in the village by the water's edge, a tidal estuary one minute from the house, the park is lovely for a stroll and the playground wonderful for small children.
The friendly award winning Rising Tide Bar~ Restaurant in the village serves morning coffee, lunch and evening dinner including an early bird menu or just a pint or glass of wine!
There is also a wonderful shop ~ delicatessen within a few minutes walk east of the village.
We are within 10 minutes walking distance of Glounthaune train station which is linked to the main Cork City Kent Station 10 minutes & 2 stops away. The trains run every 30 minutes.
Fota Island Hotel & Spa, Golf Club, Wild Life Park & House (beautiful!) only 10 minutes away (lovely short train journey )Historic Cobh 15 minutes away, Midleton with historic distillery 15 minutes away, Little Island just
5 minutes (very convenient for visiting staff). Undiscovered Barryscourt Castle 10 minutes. Ballymaloe House & Cookery School 30 minutes away, Historic Youghal also 30 minutes away. All of Co. Cork, Co. Waterford & Co.Kerry are easily accessible by car from our home as we live just a few minutes from major road arteries. Into Cork City and the Jack Lynch tunnel (See map on site) is just a few minutes away.
Guest Access
Our guests have access to the court yard & garden apartment by a side entrance of the main house, through the cream archway. The court yard is covered in climbing plants and flowers, it is a nice area to sit out and relax in weather permitting! Guests are also very welcome to use the BBQ. Our guests are also welcome to use the washing machine and dryer which are both in the kitchenette.
There is a TV (only for dvd' at the moment), Books, CD's & DVD's in the Apartment. Very Good Internet Access.
Interaction with Guests
We are members of airbnb since July 2014. We love to meet people and enjoy having guests come to our home. Having traveled frequently in Europe we have always appreciate a warm comfortable bed and a genuine welcome in the places we have stayed, usually b&b's or agritourismo accommodation. We now have the chance to do the same for our guests here in Cork. Both of us are easy going people and the atmosphere here is very relaxed. It would be our wish that all our guests feel comfortable and happy during their stay. I work from home so am usually on hand in the main house for any help, advice or a chat at any time.
The Neighborhood
We live in a small local community in the country side but within easy reach of the city. It is a wonderful sanctuary but when a bit of hustle & bustle is called for Cork City is only 10 minutes away, very handy for shopping, eating in our wonderful restaurants, and for festivals and events. The tidal estuary is literally on our door step. There are many great beaches and wonderful places to visit within half an hour's drive east and west.
East Cork is well worth exploring, Fota Golf Club which hosted the Irish Open Summer 2014 is a few minutes away also the World Famous Jemeson Brewery is down the road. East Cork is not as well known as West Cork but has its own particular beauty and interest, including its beaches,historic interests and culinary. Well worth exploring!
Getting Around
A car is not necessary to enjoy your stay with us, there is a great Train Service within 10 minutes walking distance of the house (Glounthaune Station) Should you need a lift from the station I am always on hand to collect. This train goes to & from Cork City Kent Station with links nationwide every half hour, also East to Carrigtwohill, Midleton, Fota Wild Life Park, Fota Golf Club Hotel & Spa and Cobh. There is also a great Central Bus Station in the city, Parnell Place Bus Station which services all areas of the city, county and country. There is a bus stop at the top of the village but the train is more frequent to and from the City.
Other Things to Note
A generous welcome pack is provided for guests on arrival, this will include wine,tea,coffee,bread, cereals, jams, nuts, butter, milk, water, juice, yogurts, cold meat & cheese. I can also provide homemade meals at a small cost, which I can put in the freezer to be heated up in the microwave notice of a few days would be needed, just let me know if this is something you would be interested in. When we travel we like our privacy at breakfast time especially, so we thought providing the pack in the apartment was a good idea which would afford that same privacy to our guests, in saying that I am usually around the main house, as I work from home. If guests need advice or just have a chat I am always happy to be there for our guests.
On a\the fine day! it is nice to open up the double doors of the garden studio and have breakfast in the court yard. The Rising Tide bar~ restaurant across the street is really good for morning coffee, lunch, dinner, a drink, also there is a wonderful delicatessen and a 'pub pub' 5 minutes walk down the road, they show sporting activities on the TV.
I hope you enjoy your stay with us... only two rules! I am so sorry the studio is not suitable for pets and there is no smoking in the apartment but there is plenty of space outside in the court yard to smoke.
From May 1 - Aug 31, 2015 the minimum stay is 3 nights.

Jaqui's place is a charming little studio apartment set back by itself in a courtyard garden, full of plants and flowers. Glounthaune is a quiet village on the water, with a good pub just across the street. The train station is within walking distance and very convenient for getting to Cork, Cobh and Midleton if you don't have a car, which we didn't. There is also a grocery shop close by. Jacqui was a warm and welcoming host, leaving us food and wine in the apartment, and driving us to the bus station in Cork on our departure. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Jacqui was a warm and welcoming host. She went out of her way to wait for us to arrive and then showed us around the apartment (which is surrounded by a very nice garden). She provided lots of snacks, drinks and other amenities, more than any host we have experienced on AirBnB so far. These were much appreciated since we could have a full breakfast each morning which saved us valuable time.
We agree with a previous review that the furniture in the room occupies quite a lot of space, and when you have several suitcases laid out on the ground, it can make navigating the apartment a bit tricky. The other issue we had is that the WiFi signal is very weak in the apartment which made internet tasks difficult at times.
The location was good, only a quick drive into Cork, and there is a restaurant across the street if you are hungry. Overall we had a positive experience staying at Jaqcui's apartment.
Hi Mitch,
Thank you for kind words. I have taken out two pieces of furniture from the apartment as you were the second guest to mention it, there is a lot more room now, I am sorry for the inconvenience. With regard to the WiFi, I think the problem arose because we closed off the courtyard from the house a few weeks ago, it has blocked the signal coming from the house, thank you for mentioning it I did not know that the signal was weak, I am getting a booster today that should solve the problem. Wishing you both all the very best Jacqui
Jacqui your Garden Apartment was exactly as your photos showed. We loved the private garden ideal for breakfast and really special in the evening too. Thank you for the lovely treats you left for us and for your caring attentiveness. We would most certainly recommend your accommodation and return when in your area.
Als wir ankamen wurden wir sehr herzlich begrüßt und fühlten uns sofort wohl. Es gab ein Willkommen-und-Wohlfühlpaket mit Lebensmitteln und Lieblingsmusik. Wir haben die Tage bei ´Jacqui´ sehr genossen und kommen sehr gerne wieder :)
The apartment was gorgeous- exactly as in the photos. Some really nice touches- up-cycled furniture and decor, original art and even a To Do chalkboard with only one task- relax! The garden had a recently added gate to make the courtyard even more separate from the house, so it really did feel like our private oasis and when the sun came out it could've been somewhere in Spain!
Jacqui made us feel very welcome, despite living down the road as she had rented out the house to a quiet family. She called us to make sure everything was OK and dropped off a bottle of prosecco, which complemented the supplies she had left in the fridge. She even gave us a lift to Cork train station on our last day. An excellent host. Thoroughly recommended.
My boyfriend and I had a delightful stay at Jacqui's cottage in Glounthaune, outside of Cork. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. We felt very welcomed there, it was almost like staying with a friends' aunt in a lovely little seaside village. For those seeking some peace and quiet (the place is SUPER quiet, no street noise) while traveling in Ireland, this is a fantastic option. No need to stay IN Cork imho, this place was just as convenient as a jumping-off point to traveling in SW Ireland.
If you drive, park on the street just outside the cottage. It's unzoned and free. The cottage itself is as adorable as the pictures - shabby chic and cozy, the kitchen and W/D are very convenient and fully stocked.
All in all a beautiful place to stay, would highly recommend it. We will be back next time we're in Ireland!
We spent a memorable journey at Jacqueline's house. This richly decorated annex is located in the courtyard of your host's house in a very nice (but a little bit noisy because of the traffic) neighbourhood. Jacqueline's consideration, thoughtfullness towards her guests is the first thing you will notice. She's a terrific host and deserves her medal from Air BnB! A few examples : we got lost before we arrived to Jacqueline's place and she picked us up ; the fridge was full of food and drinks ; she helped me with my broken glasses, and so on...
In fact, long before you arrived, she set up everything so that you would feel at home... but you won't. Because everything has been better arranged and elaborated than at home: Jacqueline restored lots of pieces of ancient furniture, repainted in pastel tones, you will also find several and dissimilar paintings on the wall and loads of bibelots placed in a little academic but very warm and personal way.
If the studio remains welcoming, it lacks ergonomics. Of course, the room has all of the comforts of home, but it is sometimes difficult to move yourself through this maze of furniture and decoration, especially at dark! But these tiny imperfections won't impact your stay. In order to make it even more interesting, Jacqueline is here to give you some advice (best places in town, nice spots, restaurants...).
All in all, I recommend this studio all the more highly as it is well located, very close to Cork (13 km) and not so far from such nice places like Cobh (14 km - if you go to Cobh, try the Trade Wings restaurant), Kinsale (35 km), Killarney (100 km) and the two peninsulas of Dingle and Bear (150 km). Do not hesitate!
Hi Quentin, thank you for your kind and well thought out review I appreciate it very much. With regard to the traffic, there was a special 60th birthday celebration being celebrated in the Rising Tide restaurant during your stay which would have brought some traffic into the village, I am sorry about that, it is not a usual occurrence . With regards to the furniture, thank you for mentioning this but I have not been made aware that the layout has been a problem for other guests, each piece of furniture does have a purpose and has been placed in the apartment not only for its aesthetic quality but for its practicality, there is nothing in the apartment that does not have a function. I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay despite the issues you mention. I hope that you got your glasses sorted out in Paris! It was a pleasure to meet you both, wishing you all the very best.

About the Host, Jacqueline
I am at a great stage in my life.... my two children are healthy and happy and pursuing their own lives, my daughter is a teacher and my son is in college. I am in a happy relationship with my long term partner who is a garden designer. I am enjoying doing the things that have always interested me such as painting vintage & antique furniture, interior design, life coaching, travel, catching up with friends and creating a space at my home to receive new friends through airbnb. My partner and I love France & Italy but recently have fallen in love with the Sheeps Head Peninsula in West Cork, it is a piece of paradise. When traveling we like to get to know people in the places we visit, it gives us great joy to create genuine friendships. We usually stay with the locals to get a good feel for where we are, and find that this is very culturally fulfilling. I am looking forward to hosting guests in our new apartment and hope that they will be happy to stay with us and maybe return at a later date.
I look forward to meeting you,
Warm Wishes,

from the OC Register via the Santa Barbara News-Press,
Last Tuesday evening, a fellow took a WestJet flight from Montreal to Edmonton. It's an airline with a TV at each seat. The flight coincided with Game 3 of the Oilers-Mighty Ducks series. The plane was full. The fellow looked around, walked up and down. Every screen but one was showing the hockey. The only one that didn't showed ''American Idol.'' Yeah, there are days when you do feel like you're in the wrong country. This series featured teams from neighboring nations, but faraway hockey planets. Orange County, or least a 17,174 person chunk of it, got excited about the Western finals on game nights. Edmonton counted the seconds until faceoff every day. The noise in Edmonton was overwhelming and was produced mostly by human beings. The noise in Anaheim was intermittent and was prompted largely by a scoreboard.continued

Nothing has been officially announced, but the television networks have been told that the Stanley Cup final will begin one week from today in either Carolina or Buffalo. Despite the fact that the Western Conference final is over and the Eastern final may end as early as tomorrow, it's believed that the NHL is pandering to the wishes of NBC, who don't pick up the final until Game 3.Under the format, it's believed the final will open with Games 1 and 2 next Monday and Wednesday in either Carolina or Buffalo. The series then shifts to Edmonton for Games 3 and 4, June 10 and 12.FYI, CBC mentioned either Saturday or Monday as the start date for the Finals.

from the blog of Ron Francis,
Well, if I'm going to be totally honest with you I must say that tonights game was not at all what I expected. I really thought that after the last game the Canes were ready to make a big statement tonight at the RBC in front of the home fans. I thought they would come out flying and most likely have the game and series in control by the end of the first period. So much for my thoughts. I didn't think the Canes played as well as they are capable of. They seemed to not be skating as well as usual. I'm not sure if that had to do with understanding the importance of winning this game, or having the same thoughts I was having about Buffalo really being in a tough position with 3 top defenseman out as well as a top forward, and having to come to Raleigh for game 5.continued

from Spector at Fox Sports,
Despite the club's surprising success, Burke will undoubtedly spend the summer looking for ways to improve his roster. One determining factor in how much change comes to the Ducks depends on how much ownership is willing to spend. The team began the season nudging the $39 million cap ceiling, but the savvy Burke managed to pare that down to just over $34 million by the end of the season.... One way Burke could free up payroll space could be trading veteran goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere, who has one season remaining on his contract at $3.9 million. Bryzgalov's strong play during the season and in the playoffs made "Giggy" the subject of trade rumors for months, which aren't likely to die down in the off-season. Several teams, including the Tampa Bay Lightning, Detroit Red Wings, Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks and St. Louis Blues, are believed to be in the market for a quality starting goalie and may have interest in Giguere.more

Edmonton Fans Welcome Oilers

from the CP via TSN,
Hundreds of Edmonton Oilers fans jammed the road leading to an airport terminal Sunday afternoon to catch a glimpse of their returning NHL hockey heroes. Welcome to Edmonton - the city that used to be happy to just be in the playoffs but now will settle for nothing less than a sixth Stanley Cup. Mounties worked to keep fans away from the Shell Aerocentre, where the Oilers charter plane arrived. Outside the terminal, hundreds of cars were parked higgledy-piggledy, on grass stretches and along ditches while the throng of 300 fans stretched out over a kilometre.continued

I don't think you can realize the magnitude, the importance of this, us going to the Stanley Cup finals in Edmonton," said Ethan Moreau, an Oiler since late in the 1998-99 season. "That's life there. It's been a long time. I think they're going to appreciate it, they're going to enjoy it more this time around because back in the day it was almost expected," added Moreau, who scored his first goal of the playoffs early in the second period Saturday to tie the game at 1. "This is huge. It's huge for the guys in the room. It's huge for the city, unbelievable for the organization. It is hard to put into words what this means to our team."more

I'm happiest to see it in their faces,'' said coach Craig MacTavish of the first eighth-seed team ever to make it to the Stanley Cup final, the longest longshot of them all. "A lot of times you want something so badly that it's almost anti-climatic when you get it. But this wasn't one of those instances,'' added the coach of the team which now has a chance to become the first team since four rounds of best-of-seven series were introduced to open every series on the road and win the Cup. "I'm really happy for the core guys on the team, the guys who have been through a lot here, never cheated the fans and never cheated their teammates.''read on KK Affiliate Reebok Edmonton Oilers 2006 Western Conference Champions Locker Room Hat

"I deserved most of what I got because I was an instigator," Lemieux said, "but I loved every minute." Lemieux, 40, was a right wing for five teams in 19 NHL seasons. He's now president of the Phoenix Roadrunners of the East Coast Hockey League. "Looking back, those were still good days," he said, "and every now and then I still miss the action." Call Lemieux crazy. He usually was called much worse over a career in which he became known as the NHL's most annoying player. "I'd have guys say, 'You're good enough, why are you always yapping?' But my game was being irritable," Lemieux said. "The booing, the hating, the nastiness, you get used to it."more

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
The echoes of Brad Richards' five-year, $39 mil lion max-out deal with the Lightning will not only reverberate throughout the NHL this summer - Lou Lamoriello already is suffering migraines - but will also resound in NHLPA conference rooms as the union continues to ponder reducing the team cap from $8 million to $5 million above the payroll mid-range in order to limit escrow exposure. Proponents of changing the formula to tighten the salary cap are now certain to project dramatic inflation in both the unrestricted market and salary arbitration that will push overall league payroll well beyond the players' allotted percentage of the gross as a result of the bizarre contract restricted free agent Richards received from Tampa Bay. Any overage, of course, comes back to the league via escrow withholdings.continued (reg. req.)

The Oilers' run to the 2006 Stanley Cup Final has been nothing short of a great story to the City of Edmonton and its fans. For the second time in as many seasons, a Canadian team - from Alberta - will play for the Cup. The fact that this is the Oilers (a team that for so long was synonymous with championship campaigns) makes everything that was old, well, new again. But Saturday's game did not come without its suspense.continued

The odds were against it, let's face it. Then after that TV film about the obsession of Hitch for Tippi Hedren, what was it called? something like "The Girl" Brrrr. I thought, what a pity. But then, I went to see it and I was not merely thoroughly entertained but delighted. Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren make a formidable pair. Mirren, in spite of her glamour, I've never seen Alma Reville, as glamorous, Mirren truly captures the essence of the woman and makes that marriage not just feasible but ideal in so many ways. The script, smart and witty and gives a glimpse into what might have really happened. Janet Leigh (a terrific Scarlett Johansson)thanking Hitch and kissing him on the cheek. Look at Hitch/Hopkins's face when that happens. A child. I believed it. So, considering the odds against it, a triumph.
Biography / Drama
Biography / Drama
In 1959, Alfred Hitchcock and his wife, Alma, are at the top of their creative game as filmmakers amid disquieting insinuations about it being time to retire. To recapture his youth's artistic daring, Alfred decides his next film will adapt the lurid horror novel, Psycho, over everyone's misgivings. Unfortunately, as Alfred self-finances and labors on this film, Alma finally loses patience with his roving eye and controlling habits with his actresses. When an ambitious friend lures her to collaborate on a work of their own, the resulting marital tension colors Alfred's work even as the novel's inspiration haunts his dreams.

Startling Surprise
This Could More Accurately Have Been Called "Alma"
After the appalling & fraudulent character assassination last year that was "The Girl", I'd looked forward to seeing this biography in hopes it would redress the balance somewhat, & to some degree it does that, especially in its showing the long, devoted partnership between Hitch & his wife Alma.
It's hard not to compare the two films, & I have to say I think Toby Jones' Hitchcock was far more convincing than Anthony Hopkins here - Hopkins seems the wrong shape, even with all the prosthetics, & too old & wrinkly, where Hitch in real life looked like a man-sized baby pretty much to the grave. His accent, too, comes & goes wildly, never really convincing.
On the other hand, you get a far bigger budget, star-studded movie, whose point of existence is more than simply a feminist agenda depiction of male sexuality as repulsive & predatory. Which is nice.
AND you get to look at Scarlett Johannson a little, which can never be a bad thing.
I guess in an attempt to appeal to a wider female audience (well, they're no going to see it for Alfred Hitchcock's six-pack abs, now are they), the biggest part of the film is devoted to his wife Alma, here portrayed by Helen Mirren as the woman running the show, writing the scripts, mothering little Alfred & still finding time to contemplate an affair with a smarmy hack writer. You go, girl.
In real life, Alma was, it's true, Hitch's longest collaborator & closest confidant, but here she is given way too much credit & comes off - rather laughably - as the real genius while Hitchcock just bumbles around putting no more work into 'Psycho' than simply deciding to make it in the first place. And this is another of the major weak points, that the astonishing technical & artistic accomplishments of The Master in that classic don't factor into the story at ALL, which seems much more content to dwell on generic soap-opera plot devices than the achievements of one of the greatest of all cinema artists. Which is a pity, as surely it is the work of an artist that is the only reason any of us are interested in him in the first place. Correct? In this film, Hitchcock remains a mystery, & we feel no more empathy or understanding for him than in "The Girl". We don't really care anything about him or understand any of his actions - practically all of which are fictionalized anyway. It is Alma we care for & identify with, while Hitch is seemingly used as no more than a famous face, a recognizable brand name, a symbol of some kind, but for what we never learn.
In the end, this is a rather dull film, with nothing much to say & little skill employed in saying it. Because it has no interest or affection for either the artist or the man, it has to make up its screen time by dwelling on or inventing trivial matters to inflate for dramatic gain. Perhaps the most damning failure of all is simply this: that in a film about a man who created some of the most unforgettable images in all of cinema, there is not one single memorable shot of its own. One gets the feeling that once some Hollywood executive came up with the title, they felt it would simply 'write itself'. Unfortunately, it didn't.
Great Film
When I first saw the preview for Hitchcock, I knew it would be right up my alley. I mean its about Alfred Hitchcock and what he went through to produce easily one of the greatest horror films of all time. And to top it all off Anthony Hopkins Plays Hitch himself, and when it comes to Hopkins, he brings his A-game to every single role. This movie blew me away, the acting is spot on, the cinematography is excellent, almost shot like an early horror movie in my opinion, lighting is precise and the music fits the mood and the story perfectly. I don't remember the last time I had so much fun watching a movie. Watch this one, its a gem!

We have a web service that we want to protect against malicious attacks to make lots of requests to effectively get all the data out of it.
We have some level of protection with tokens that signed and exchanged, but a determined attacker could get these tokens and replay them on requests to our web service.
So I'm thinking the only protection is at the server level. One thought was to implement a request threshold in a specific time interval them block for duration of time, that grows if subsequent requests are made during the blackout period. After repeated attempts, completely blacklist.
However, I hate the idea of custom rolling our own solution and even using IPs at all since one bad user behind a proxy gets everyone else behind that proxy blocked.
What are the best practices for protecting a web service?
Update: To clarify, this is a general question about protection a web service against mass harvesting of data.

Understanding Statistics in the Behavioral Sciences

Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreUnderstanding Statistics in the Behavioral Sciences is designed to help readers understand research reports, analyze data, and familiarize themselves with the conceptual underpinnings of statistical analyses used in behavioral science literature. The authors review statistics in a way that is intended to reduce anxiety for students who feel intimidated by statistics. Conceptual underpinnings and practical applications are stressed, whereas algebraic derivations and complex formulas are reduced. New ideas are presented in the context of a few recurring examples, which allows readers to focus more on the new statistical concepts than on the details of different studies.
The authors' selection and organization of topics is slightly different from the ordinary introductory textbook. It is motivated by the needs of a behavioral science student, or someone in clinical practice, rather than by formal, mathematical properties. The book begins with hypothesis testing and then considers how hypothesis testing is used in conjunction with statistical designs and tests to answer research questions. In addition, this book treats analysis of variance as another application of multiple regression. With this integrated, unified approach, students simultaneously learn about multiple regression and how to analyze data associated with basic analysis of variance and covariance designs. Students confront fewer topics but those they do encounter possess considerable more power, generality, and practical importance. This integrated approach helps to simplify topics that often cause confusion.
Understanding Statistics in the Behavioral Sciences features:*Computer-based exercises, many of which rely on spreadsheets, help the reader perform statistical analyses and compare and verify the results using either SPSS or SAS. These exercises also provide an opportunity to explore definitional formulas by altering raw data or terms within a formula and immediately see the consequences thus providing a deeper understanding of the basic concepts.
*Key terms and symbols are boxed when first introduced and repeated in a glossary to make them easier to find at review time.
*Numerous tables and graphs, including spreadsheet printouts and figures, help students visualize the most critical concepts.
This book is intended as a text for introductory behavioral science statistics. It will appeal to instructors who want a relatively brief text. The book's active approach to learning, works well both in the classroom and for individual self-study. less

Will the Gulf Countries Escape the Revolutionary Fires?
Moataz Salama, Al-thawra am el-eslah: al-kehyar al-aamen le dual al-khaleej (Revolution or Reform: The Peaceful Choice for Gulf Countries). Cairo: Al-Ahram Centre for Political and Strategic Studies – Strategy Papers No 221, 2011.
Moataz Salama in this remarkable study concludes that it is very difficult for the Arab Gulf countries to catch the train of revolutions that so far cross five Arab countries in the unfolding Arab Spring. One might have expected that the sparks of nearby revolutionary fires would have set light to one of these countries.
The study doesn't attempt to research the conditions of one particular country, but considers all the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC); these countries seem to have decided to face the Arab Spring as a group, and have thus linked their national security situations to one another. The author indicates that his greater focus is on Saudi Arabia, given its location and size, representing more than sixty per cent of total GCC GDP, along with seventy per cent of its population. The analysis covers three main dimensions: thought directions, reality considerations, and future considerations.
The first dimension explores the notion that concern about the future of Gulf countries amid the Arab revolutions has resulted in one point of view: these countries are almost immune to revolutions, not only because their citizens have little to lead them to request change, but also because these regimes are based on families and tribes that have held power for hundreds of years, leading to deep legitimacy based on stable traditions and norms. Also, conditions that allow for the success of revolutions are missing from these countries, at least for the time being. Thus these countries can oppress, diverge, or halt revolutions from taking their natural course. In addition, the financial resources available to these states are vast. Finally, international stances are generally supportive of the status quo in the Gulf, particularly that of the US, based on direct interests.
Looking at each country individually, based on this analysis it is possible consider that the United Arab Emirates and Qatar are the most safe, while Kuwait is also stable, provided it undergoes some reforms. This analysis overall projects that the spark of revolutions will certainly reach the Gulf, but what will follow will be very different from what we saw in the other Arab states—mainly that these regimes won't fall, but that there may be large-scale reforms. The analysis encourages leaders to set off on the road to reform, instead of depending only on gifts, particularly financial.
The second dimension in the book, and by far the largest, discusses conditions on the ground, leading to the conclusion that the revolutionary path isn't easy for these countries. Looking at the ruling families, the sectarian division of faith schools, large revenues from oil, and finally a population whose majority is sometimes from abroad, especially Asia, these countries are in general immune to the Arab Spring.
In the last section, future considerations, the author concludes that "national revolution" is unlikely in any Gulf country; rather, limited upheaval may occur in select areas, possibly leading to internal divisions and conflicts. In particular, it's difficult to imagine one revolutionary movement taking hold in Saudi Arabia, owing to the sheer complexity of trying to replace the political system that today gathers all its communities under the one Saudi state.
While we must admit the uniqueness of conditions of GCC countries, both on the historical and economic levels, the assumption that these conditions are eternal is unconvincing. The eruption in Bahrain, for example, led to direct confrontation with the police, and eventually to their request for help from the military to bring the conditions under control. While proposed reforms may indeed postpone the Spring of Anger a little, the risk of revolution is definitely increasing with the dusk of the oil age.
This article first appeared in Ahram Online.
1 comment for "Will the Gulf Countries Escape the Revolutionary Fires?"
Whilst this article is generally fair, the last paragraph, suggesting some potential flaw in the general stability of the region, falls into the trap of failing to differentiate between the social structure of these countries. Bahrain's 'native' population composition is hugely different from that of the UAE, for example, and the repressed majority has been rumbling there for years. Not so in UAE. Beware of generalisations!

This clip begins with an extremely toned man swimming in the pool. He is only wearing a tiny pair of speedos, and as he pulls himself out of the water his rock hard muscles are outlined as the liquid drains onto the warm concrete. He is joined by another man who is amazed at his glorious body - he can't keep his hands, or his lips, off him! As they begin to get frisky in the warm sunshine next to the swimming pool they are joined by a third man for an extreme homosexual threesome. There's plenty of anal, oral and ass to mouth to be had - not to mention a couple of massive and explosive cumshots! Don't miss this excellent gay sex clip.
