Who doesn't love metal jewelry making? Create an Eyeglass Chain Necklace from Irene Helms for a friend of family member. They'll think it was bought in a luxury store.
- Chain - I used black gunmetal rollo style with 3mm links
- Czech glass beads in jet black - two 10mm and four 6mm size for this design
- Gunmetal wire for wire wrapping - I used 20 gauge
- Antiqued silver Victorian style drop
- Two antiqued silver jump rings
- Round nose and needle nose pliers
- Wire cutters
- Emory board or fine sandpaper
I selected a Victorian style antiqued silver drop for my eyeglass loop, but it was longer than what I wanted for my design. Remember it is always okay to customize a component to suit your tastes or the needs of a particular project. To modify this piece, snip off the top using your wire cutters. Use a nail file or sandpaper to smooth any rough edges after cutting. This piece is sold by Vintage Jewelry Supplies - one of my favorite on-line jewelry supply sources.
Now decide how long you want your finished eyeglass chain - I decided on a 29 inch length which will slip easily over my head so no clasp is needed. Then cut your sections of chain. I used six 2-inch pieces of chain and one longer 12-inch piece for the middle part which will drape around the back of the neckline.
Cut six pieces of wire into 2 1/2 inch lengths. Now you are ready to wire-wrap your beaded links. I like to wire-wrap my links directly to the chain for added security - but you can also use jump rings to attach them. To bead the links directly into the chain, make a simple loop, then before wire-wrapping it, slide one end of a piece of chain onto the loop. Then wire-wrap the loop, add your bead, then repeat for the other end, making sure you attach the next piece of chain to the loop before wire-wrapping.
Continue making wire-wrapped links and connecting all pieces of chain. For this pattern, you will end up with a long piece of beaded chain ready to connect to your eyeglass loop.
Now connect the two loose ends to your eyeglass loop using jump rings.

An excellent demonstration of dedication, attention to detail and robotics skills, bravo!
Beverage Cooler
Great robot! You should check this out to keep the drink cold.http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/accessories/96b3/
Only 1 word to say..
As others said before me,
As others said before me, that robot is fantastic. Es muy fantastico.
There are so many great points, -- gripping hands, eye lids, eye movement in both axes, head movement (up, down, right and left also), wheel drives, and I like the way you have given him decorative formal clothing. With the heineken beverage containers, I can see where he got his name. :-) He certainly has charm and personality. There are so many features... the right hand holding out for a tip and the little container to comes out to catch the money, then his internal drink storage and the way the left hand was made especially to reach for such a drink and serve it... Amazing.
I commend you highly on this robot. Tell us more about how he works and how he was programmed. I know many people here would love to read about it.
Also, I see you have used three different Pic controllers to do different functions. May I ask how they are interfaced to each other? --I²C or serial or interrupts or something else?

Dave -- you said it just right! 756 whiners should not control the budget in this town. If they want silence, in spite of buying homes near the tracks, they should pay for it.
a resident of Valley Trails

I might not be the most educated man in town, but even I understand that if I buy a house near railroad tracks....then from time to time, a train will come by. Kind of like those people that bought houses near the freeway or fairgrounds.( you accept your choice) You look at the available houses on the market and you choose the right one based on the details (such as train tracks.) I agree with Dave, they decided to buy a house at their location...so make peace with it. Unless they owned their houses before the railroad was there...I believe it was around 1901. So those people don't seem selfish to me, but the other homeowners are out of their minds to ask the community to pay for their comfort.
WAIT.... I hear a nearby school bell....Wheres my compensation? I shouldn't have to hear a ringing school bell just because I bought a house near a school...should I??

Don't Point Your Fingers In My Son's Direction - Regarding Autism And The Shootings In Connecticut
By SingleMomtism on December 17, 2012
Like the rest of the nation, I spent Friday and the rest of the weekend heartbroken, sick, screaming from my soul for the lives lost in Newtown, Connecticut. I find it impossible to wrap my head around the scope of it. And as the reports ran ad nauseam and the faces marked by tragedy filled up the television screen, one uncovered item had my full attention: they believe that the shooter had autism.
I heard the reporter on CNN bringing it up again and again, as though it might have been a contributing factor. "They mentioned he had no facial expression as he fired the gun," she said. "And we know autism is often characterized by a lack of empathy..."
I would tell you that I startled my daughter by shouting at the TV, but she was right next to me and shouting even louder than I was.
SHUT UP. Just shut the hell up.
What do you know? What do you really know about autism?
Autism is often characterized by a lack of empathy, yes. Often, but not always. My son is one of those living exceptions to the rule. It's rare that you don't find David smiling, or in a good mood. His teachers call him "Sunshine in a bottle." I know that there are many children with autism who aren't like David, though.
But let's talk about empathy, here.
"Lack of empathy" doesn't mean that a person with autism is unfeeling. It doesn't mean they can't follow the rules. It doesn't mean that they don't know right from wrong, entirely - especially on the epic scale of life and death. It just means that they have a hard time identifying anything from any persepective but their own.
Instead of saying to David "How do you think your sister feels when you call her names?" I have to turn it around and say "How would you feel if Anna called you a brat?" Once it's spelled out, though, and clearly - a person with autism is perfectly capable of "getting it". It's just not their natural inclination to do so.
A lack of empathy doesn't mean they are emotionless killing machines just waiting to strike.
I turned to Anna after watching the interview and said "Can you imagine David planning something like this? Not just because he would never deliberately hurt anyone - I mean the actual planning of it? Figuring out what time to go, packing a bag and selecting the specialized bullets, adding extra ammo clips, loading the guns, driving there and then doing it?"
That's where, more than anything, I don't see the autism. David, as I've chronicled here, can have some ugly outbursts sometimes. They've lessened in frequency as he's aged and we've all learned to communicate better (thank God), but they do still arrive occasionally. When they do, they are entirely impulsive - nothing planned and certainly nothing in his control.
What the shooter in Connecticut did that day was all about control. It was planned, it was acted upon, and it had nothing, absolutely nothing to do with his autism, if he was, in fact, autistic.
His autism might have made him more isolated, though. Might have made him feel much more lonely. Maybe even bullied, on occasion. And while none of that excuses or entirely explains why he did what he did, it certainly could have added to or amplified the stress of his mental illness. Mental illness that should have been diagnosed and treated, but wasn't.
So please, don't point your fingers in my son's direction. Use them to dial a phone, or type an email, or write a good old-fashioned letter to your congressman, your governor, your school board - ask them what sort of mental health diagnostics and services they provide and what more they can do to see that something like this stops being just one more mass shooting. Then ask them what you can do from your end.
As much as I fight for the services my David needs, this need is just as, and maybe more pressing. My son is not mentally ill. Would they even have mentioned if the shooter were dyslexic? Doubtful. My son has a learning disability that can stymie him socially, but every day we're overcoming that more and more.
For thousands of parents, there are some battles that the basic learning and behavioral support provided in a school district just can't win. Not without more funding, not without honest conversation as to the nature of mental illness.
And certainly not without knowing when a learning disability doesn't fit that criteria.

This wine had a beautiful color. Very nice Shiraz, served with Smoked Pork Butt and made for a nice pairing.
Very big complex wine. We decanted this wine before serving which enhanced its flavor. Enjoyed from first to last sip.

One glaring omission in the NPM top-25 is the lack of seasonal music. I suspect that many of these Advent/Christmas songs would rise to the top of consideration, if people had them in mind. Due to the luck of the draw, one of these two will be eliminated from further consideration, and the other will move on to the "Spiritual Sixteen." Let's see how the number one Advent song fares against the number three or four Christmas song:
about Todd FlowerdayA Roman Catholic lay person, married (since 1996), with one adopted child (since 2001). I serve in worship and spiritual life in a midwestern university parish.
about John Donaghy
John is a lay missionary since 2007 with a parish in western Honduras. Before that he served in campus ministry and social justice ministry in Iowa. His ministry blog is http://hermanojuancito.blogspot.com
He also blogs reflections on the lectionary and saints/heroes/events of the date at http://walktheway.wordpress.com
He'll be a long-term contributor here analyzing the Latin American bishops' document from their 2007 Aparecida Conference.

Margaritaville!!Lets go somewhere tropical.Cabo, Hawaii, Tahitii, Australia, the pool at Mandalay Bay, okay that isn't that tropical but it could be just as fun!!! Locally, we could go anywhere.Just dinner, drinks could be a blast with the right one.
Favorite thing to do is living life.When it rains,lets go outside anyway and play then come home to a movie,fireplace and hot chocolate.Favorite place when the sun is out is at the beach,someday I'm going to live there.
Any activity that gets my heart rate up is fun to me. Fitness, trail running,hiking,sports,driving fast,riding fast,off roading,dancing,laughing,the first time you hold someone's hand,waking up early for a sunrise and sometimes just chilling at home.

Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile.
I wouldn't replace growing up with my family for the world. I am one of six kids. (4 sisters, 1 bro, 2 horses, 2 dogs, 4 birds, 1 cat, 2 rabbits, 13 chickens, 2 sheep, 2 ducks, and a partridge in a pear tree). We're a modern day Brady Bunch. Except our problems are never solved in 30 minutes. I'd love to describe each of my siblings but you're probably here to read more about me. Instead of describing myself I'll let them do the job. Debbie, oldest and most wise one says, Jackie is a "damn good artist, has heart of gold, and is a loving brotha! PLUS, he can dance." Patty, the most articulate one in the family describes me as, "the best brother anyone could ask for." I don't think my brother Greg agrees with her on that one. I'll describe greg, he's by far the only brother I'd ever want. The two twins, Cori and Lori, well...Cori thinks I should spend more time with her and Lori wishes I was up in San Francisco with her right now. Lori, the thespian in the family and wonderful singer, wants everyone to know that she will personally kick your arse if you break my heart. Don't mind her, She's in San Francisco. ;) If you want to chat with me I will respond with no problem.

Each year I travel to some place I've never been. Somewhere that puts me in uncomfortable situations. A place I have to learn about a new culture. This past year I've been to Bali, India, China, Brazil, Uruguay, Europe, Panama, and South Central LA.
One of the subtle things in life that I look forward to everyday is at around 3:30pm, when it's time to drop the kids off at the pool, I find an available quiet stall in the building, turn off the sound on my phone, and play backgammon on the iphone.
Currently I'm in Mammoth while writing. It's my other life. Besides snowboarding, I can't wait to surf, read, shoot hoops, play golf, watch the Lake Show, yoga, and most importantly travel. No seriously, 10 countries in the last year. I can't stop.
I finally finished "in search of captain zero." Now reading "Three Cups of Tea"

The Port Authority of Allegheny County's Board of Directors today voted to hire Ellen McLean as CEO of the transit agency. McLean's contract is effective February 1 and extends for three years, with options to extend the agreement for up to two additional years.
McLean currently is the Interim CEO and previously served as the Authority's Chief Finance Officer.
"Ellen is the right person at the right time for Port Authority," said Port Authority Chairman Bob Hurley. "Ellen's financial expertise and ability to work collaboratively toward solutions has set her apart. It's become abundantly clear over the past six months that she is the right person to lead Port Authority at this most critical time. We need a leader with sharp financial instincts to take full advantage of the public transportation funding approved last year by the State Legislature and Gov. Tom Corbett."
McLean has successfully led the Authority through a challenging period that included the formation of a new Board of Directors under a change in state law, and change in CEO. During this time, McLean effectively worked with local and state officials to help ensure the success of a comprehensive transportation funding bill that directly benefits public transportation in Allegheny County.
"Ellen has really proven herself to be the right leader for the Port Authority," said County Executive Rich Fitzgerald. "Over the past few months, she has focused on improving service, implementing real time technology for riders, advocating for the agency and its users in the negotiations on transportation funding, moving the Bus Rapid Transit project forward and increasing advertising revenues. She has met every challenge, established strong relationships with each of our stakeholders and has led the agency with poise and determination. I look forward to continuing to work with her and the rest of our partners as we improve and strengthen our transit system."
McLean joined Port Authority in 2010 as its Chief Financial Officer, overseeing financial planning, operating and capital budgets and other areas. Her previous experience includes serving for six years as Chief Financial Officer of the City of Pittsburgh under Mayor Tom Murphy and later as Managing Director of Infrastructure Initiatives for the Urban Land Institute in Washington, D.C.
"We've developed a positive relationship with Ellen McLean and County Executive Rich Fitzgerald through the last few years, working on legislation and our last labor agreement," said Steve Palonis, President/Business Agent for ATU Local 85. "I think we all agree that public transportation is a right for residents of Allegheny County. And, I think Ellen brings stability and positive direction to the Authority."
McLean will be paid an annual salary of $215,000. The average CEO salary nationally for transit agencies of similar size is about $254,000, according to 2012 data from the American Public Transportation Association.
"I'm very pleased to lead this agency and look forward to working to improve our transit system for this region," McLean said. "This is a team effort and I'm thrilled to do this alongside a strong Board of Directors, an engaged union leadership, community partners and support from public officials.
"Together, we can make very positive change in our public transportation system. We intend to move forward in a strategic and deliberate manner."

Article: Radiotherapy pre-treatment dose validation: A second verification of monitor units (MU) with a commercial software[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Inversely planned intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and stereotactic small field radiotherapy should be verified before treatment execution. A second verification is carried out for planned treatments in IMRT and 3D conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) using a monitor verification commercial dose calculation management software (DCMS). For the same reference point the ion-chamber measured doses are compared for IMRT plans. DCMS (Diamond) computes dose based on modified Clarkson integration, accounting for multi-leaf collimators (MLC) transmission and measured collimator scatter factors. DCMS was validated with treatment planning system (TPS) (Eclipse 6.5 Version, Varian, USA) separately. Treatment plans computed from TPS are exported to DCMS using DICOM interface. Doses are re-calculated at selected points for fields delivered to IMRT phantom (IBA Scanditronix Wellhofer) in high-energy linac (Clinac 2300 CD, Varian). Doses measured at central axis, for the same points using CC13 (0.13 cc) ion chamber with Dose 1 Electrometer (Scanditronix Wellhofer) are compared with calculated data on DCMS and TPS. The data of 53 IMRT patients with fields ranging from 5 to 9 are reported. The computed dose for selected monitor units (MU) by Diamond showed good agreement with planned doses by TPS. DCMS dose prediction matched well in 3D-CRT forward plans (0.8 ± 1.3%, n = 37) and in IMRT inverse plans (-0.1 ± 2.2%, n = 37). Ion chamber measurements agreed well with Eclipse planned doses (-2.1 ± 2.0%, n = 53) and re-calculated DCMS doses (-1.5 ± 2.6%, n = 37) in phantom. DCMS dose validation is in reasonable agreement with TPS. DCMS calculations corroborate well with ionometric measured doses in most of the treatment plans.Journal of Medical Physics 10/2012; 37(4):235-9. DOI:10.4103/0971-6203.103610

ABSTRACT: Radioactive wastes from hospitals form one of the various types of urban wastes, which are managed in developed countries in a safe and organized way. In countries where growth of nuclear medicine services are envisaged, implementations of existing regulatory policies and guidelines in hospitals in terms of handling of radioactive materials used in the treatment of patients need a good model. To address this issue, a brief description of the methods is presented. A designed prototype waste storage trolley is found to be of great help in decaying the I-131 solid wastes from wards before releasing to waste treatment plant of the city. Two delay tanks with collection time of about 2 months and delay time of 2 months alternately result in 6 releases of urine toilet effluents to the sewage treatment plant (STP) of the hospital annually. Samples of effluents collected at releasing time documented radioactive releases of I-131 much below recommended levels of bi-monthly release. External counting of samples showed good statistical correlation with calculated values. An overview of safe procedures for radioactive waste disposal is presented.Journal of Medical Physics 04/2011; 36(2):95-9. DOI:10.4103/0971-6203.79692
Article: Beam configuration and physical parameters of clinical high energy photon beam for total body irradiation (TBI)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To start total body irradiation (TBI) treatments, physical parameters are measured for a magna field irradiation. 6 MV photon beam from Clinac 600 CD linear accelerator (Varian, USA) with fully opened collimator at 45° and gantry at 270° provided a diamond shaped magna field with diagonal dimension 224 cm at 4.0 m source skin distance (SSD). The flatness of the radiation field was measured in the presence of locally designed acrylic beam spoiler and beam flatness filter. Central Axis Depth dose data (CADD), tissue maximum ratios and entrance dose pattern are measured using large phantoms. Methods for clinical dose estimation using semi-conductor diodes and TLD were standardized. PVC beam flattener at the shielding tray position and the presence of acrylic beam spoiler in the radiation field provided a flatness of 100.15% ± 0.44% compared to open beam flatness 101.6 ± 1.5%. A reduction of 2% in percentage depth dose was observed at 10 cm depth in the presence of 15 mm acrylic beam spoiler. However, no changes are observed in the TMRs with presence of beam spoiler. The measured ionization ratios clearly showed change of beam quality with the introduction of beam spoiler. The presence of 15 mm beam spoiler ensured entrance dose 100% at skin and remaining unchanged within 1% upto a depth of 10 mm. Phantom measurements show good agreement between calculated and measured doses. The paper recommends use of modified CADD parameters for treatment planning, if calibration of output is carried out in the presence of beam spoiler.Physica Medica 11/2010; 27(3):163-8.

Article: Simple technique for fabrication of shielding blocks for total body irradiation at extended treatment distances.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Techniques are being standardized in our department for total body irradiation (TBI) with six MV photons in linear accelerator for preconditioning to bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Individualized shields with low melting point alloy are to be fabricated for shielding critical organs such as lungs, kidneys etc. A method to mount diminished dimension of shields in a tray at 3.75m is designed in the department for a teletreatment distance of four meters with magna field with A simulator image taken with the patient's midplane (MP) at one meter distance is used to mark the dimensions of lung, scaled down by a factor of 3.75/4.0. These lung dimensions are reprinted from the digital simulator image for making the shield. The methodology of the technique using digitized minification in radiography is the first of its kind to be used for shield cutting in magna field radiotherapy.Journal of Medical Physics 10/2009; 34(4):223-5. DOI:10.4103/0971-6203.56084
Article: Extrapolation chamber mounted on perspex for calibration of high energy photon and electron beams from a clinical linear accelerator[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The objective of the present study is to establish radiation standards for absorbed doses, for clinical high energy linear accelerator beams. In the nonavailability of a cobalt-60 beam for arriving at Nd, water values for thimble chambers, we investigated the efficacy of perspex mounted extrapolation chamber (EC) used earlier for low energy x-rays and beta dosimetry. Extrapolation chamber with facility for achieving variable electrode separations 10.5mm to 0.5mm using micrometer screw was used for calibrations. Photon beams 6 MV and 15 MV and electron beams 6 MeV and 15 MeV from Varian Clinac linacs were calibrated. Absorbed Dose estimates to Perspex were converted into dose to solid water for comparison with FC 65 ionisation chamber measurements in water. Measurements made during the period December 2006 to June 2008 are considered for evaluation. Uncorrected ionization readings of EC for all the radiation beams over the entire period were within 2% showing the consistency of measurements. Absorbed doses estimated by EC were in good agreement with in-water calibrations within 2% for photons and electron beams. The present results suggest that extrapolation chambers can be considered as an independent measuring system for absorbed dose in addition to Farmer type ion chambers. In the absence of standard beam quality (Co-60 radiations as reference Quality for Nd,water) the possibility of keeping EC as Primary Standards for absorbed dose calibrations in high energy radiation beams from linacs should be explored. As there are neither Standard Laboratories nor SSDL available in our country, we look forward to keep EC as Local Standard for hospital chamber calibrations. We are also participating in the IAEA mailed TLD intercomparison programme for quality audit of existing status of radiation dosimetry in high energy linac beams. The performance of EC has to be confirmed with cobalt-60 beams by a separate study, as linacs are susceptible for minor variations in dose output on different days.Journal of Medical Physics 04/2009; 34(1):31-6. DOI:10.4103/0971-6203.48718

ABSTRACT: For radiotherapy of para-aortic and abdominal regions in male patients, gonads are to be protected to receive less than 2% of the prescribed dose. A testicular shield was fabricated for abdominal radiotherapy with 15 MV X-rays ((Clinac 2300 CD, Varian AG) with low melting point alloy (Cerroband). The dimensions of the testicular shield were 6.5 cm diameter and 3.5 cm depth with 1.5 cm wall thickness. During treatment, this shield was held in position by a rectangular sponge and Styrofoam support. Phantom measurement was carried out with a humanoid phantom and a 0.6 cc ion chamber. The mean energy of the scattered photon was calculated for single scattering at selected distances from the beam edge and with different field dimensions. One patient received radiotherapy with an inverted Y field and gonad doses were estimated using calibrated thermo-luminescent detector (TLD) chips. Measured doses with the ion chamber were 7.1 and 3.5% of the mid-plane doses without a shield at 3 and 7.5 cm off-field respectively. These values decreased to 4.6 and 1.7% with the bottom shield alone, and to 1.7 and 0.8% with both bottom and top shields covering the ion chamber. The measured doses at the gonads during the patient's treatment were 0.5-0.92% for the AP field (0.74 +/- 0.17%, n = 5) and 0.5-1.2% for the PA field (0.88 +/- 0.24%, n = 5). The dose received by the testis for the full course of treatment was 32 cGy (0.8%) for a total mid-plane dose of 40 Gy. The first-scatter energy estimated at the gonads is around 1.14 MeV for a primary beam of 15 MV for a long axis dimension of 37 cm of primary field. During the patient's treatment, the estimated absorbed doses at the gonads were comparable with reported values in similar treatments. The testicular shield reported in this study is of light weight and could be used conveniently in treatments of abdominal fields.Journal of Medical Physics 10/2008; 33(4):158-61.

Article: A method for estimation of accuracy of dose delivery with dynamic slit windows in medical linear accelerators[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) clinical dose delivery is based on computer-controlled multileaf movements at different velocities. To test the accuracy of modulation of the beam periodically, quality assurance (QA) methods are necessary. Using a cylindrical phantom, dose delivery was checked at a constant geometry for sweeping fields. Repeated measurements with an in-house designed methodology over a period of 1 year indicate that the method is very sensitive to check the proper functioning of such dose delivery in medical linacs. A cylindrical perspex phantom with facility to accurately position a 0.6-cc (FC 65) ion chamber at constant depth at isocenter, (SA 24 constancy check tool phantom for MU check, Scanditronix Wellhofer) was used. Dosimeter readings were integrated for 4-mm, 10-mm, 20-mm sweeping fields and for 3 angular positions of the gantry periodically. Consistency of standard sweeping field output (10-mm slit width) and the ratios of outputs against other slit widths over a long period were reported. A 10-mm sweeping field output was found reproducible within an accuracy of 0.03% (n = 25) over 1 year. Four-millimeter, 20-mm outputs expressed as ratio with respect to 10-mm sweep output remained within a mean deviation of 0.2% and 0.03% respectively. Outputs at 3 gantry angles remained within 0.5%, showing that the effect of dynamic movements of multileaf collimator (MLC) on the output is minimal for angular positions of gantry. This method of QA is very simple and is recommended in addition to individual patient QA measurements, which reflect the accuracy of dose planning system. In addition to standard output and energy checks of linacs, the above measurements can be complemented so as to check proper functioning of multileaf collimator for dynamic field dose delivery.Journal of Medical Physics 07/2008; 33(3):127-9. DOI:10.4103/0971-6203.42768
Article: Evaluation methods for detecting changes in beam output and energy in radiation beams from high-energy linear accelerators[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There is need for simple methods for checking consistency of beam outputs and energy in linear accelerators used for radiotherapy. A method was designed by the department using perspex phantom with which the dosimetric data of two medical linear accelerators (Clinac 600 CD, Clinac 2300 CD) were evaluated over a period of 30 months. The efficacy of methods followed was checked. Routine beam consistency checks were designed for photon beams with 15 cm/ 5 cm depth ionizations in perspex phantom and variable depth combinations for electron beams. Calculated ionization ratios were compared with measured values to show their significance. The dose/MU for all radiation beams was maintained within 2% accuracy over the period of 30 months. Clinac 600 CD machine showed decreasing trend of cGy/MU, while Clinac 2300 CD showed increasing trend of cGy/MU over a period, which needed tuning of monitor chamber two times each. Tuning of output to achieve standard value was carried out once, for all electron energies when the output dose/MU exceeded 3%. During one week (June 2005), there were slight changes in electron energy detected using the ratio method, which did not recur anytime afterwards. The methods designed are adequate to find the consistency in the beam output and energies in the radiotherapy linacs.Journal of Medical Physics 07/2007; 32(3):92-6. DOI:10.4103/0971-6203.35720

When all is said and done, a pelvic exam really isn't a big
deal. But if you've never had one before, it can be pretty intimidating,
awkward and uncomfortable. Take a deep breath babe—here's what to expect.
First off, you probably won't need a pelvic exam unless
you're having big problems with your period, are sexually active or over the
age of 18, though some girls, their parents or their docs opt for starting
exams younger than that.
If you go to see a gynecologist, a nurse will first have you
stand on a scale to measure your weight. She'll probably want your height and
blood pressure as well, and she might ask you a long list of questions,
including what medications you're taking, what your medical history is, if
you're sexually active and when your last period was.
Once she heads out, you'll be asked to change into a gown
(no undies) and wait for the doc. Your mom can stay with you, if you prefer, or
she can wait outside. When the gynecologist comes in, she'll probably take a
look at your chart and ask you some questions based on your medical info, and a
few background Qs, too, to set you at ease. A breast exam will likely
The pelvic exam itself isn't a biggie. The doc will ask you
to lie back on the exam table with your bum near the edge, bend your knees and
rest your feet on "stirrups," or little platforms that extend from the table.
Take deep breaths and do your best to relax—it'll go faster and be more
comfortable if you do.
There are a few different things your doctor will do. The
first is an external exam, during which she'll take a look at your vulva and
the opening of your vagina. Then she'll insert a speculum, a handheld tool made
of either metal or plastic that holds open your vagina so she can take a look
at your cervix. Most girls say this is merely uncomfortable, but if it hurts,
tell your doctor.
When you're older or sexually active, this is when she'll
likely do a pap smear. You'll probably only feel a slight pinch, and it'll be
Next, she'll insert a finger or two into your vagina to make
sure everything feels normal. While she does this, she'll press down lightly on
your abdomen. Her hands are gloved and lubricated, and a good doc will be quick but thorough, and really gentle.

Myron Bolitar once had a promising career as a sportsman, until an accident forced him to quit. After a spell in the FBI he now runs his own business. Then Myron is approached to find Greg Downing. He knows Greg from old - they were once rivals, not just in sport, but for a woman they both loved. Now Greg has vanished, and the team boss wants Myron to find him, before news of his disappearance is leaked to the press. In Greg's house Myron finds blood in the basement - lots of it. And when he discovers the body of a woman, he begins to unravel the strange, violent world of a national hero gone wrong, as he comes face-to-face with a past he can't re-live, and a present he may not survive.

text: The room was sparce but comfortable and CLEEN the staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool is tiny and during our stay was over run with screaming children not being monitored by their parents, and the laundry center was extremely outdated took over an hour to dry two small loads of laundry. The hot breakfast was exactly what I expected a steam tray of eggs and sausage with not one but two waffle makers and the usually continental breakfast, the dining are was kept neat and stocked (except they ran out of bagels) they also allow you to choose what you would like room service to do in your room daily, we just asked that they refresh towels, take the trash and make the bed (they even picked up the items I had dropped in the floor leaving for our apt in a hurry!) The location was ok it is about 20 min from Freeport 10 min from boidin college and 30 min from Boothbay harbor. If we ever need to be in that area again we would stay again. Even with the faults it was a nice place.

New App: Quicken Companion App Released
Quicken as released a new companion app for their Windows money management app, Quicken 2013. The free companion app allows you to check up on your accounts and even enter transactions while on the go. Every year Quicken makes progress toward an iOS standalone app. It can't be too far off now, this looks close.

ImpulseSave Helps Users Avoid Impulse Purchases
We like unique finance apps, like CoinKeeper. Now another interesting finance app has popped up called ImpulseSave. ImpulseSave allows users to save money by literally taking it out of their accounts and putting it into an ImpulseSave savings account.
Users setup goals to save up money for (like a new iPad). The purpose of the app is for users to get the same experience of spending their money when they're actually saving it. Instead of an impulse buy, they save impulsively. Users can use the app anytime they feel like saving some money (perhaps when they stop themselves from making an impulse purchase). The funds are transferred to a bank account with no fees and users can access that money whenever they'd like (although the common 2-3 business day wait for bank transfers apply). Money in the accounts even gather interest!
ImpulseSave was already established prior to the app at ImpulseSave.com. And non-iOS users can even use ImpulseSave on any other mobile phone through their SMS service.

PVSP took off like a bat out of hell so I give you credit, you guys got it up over 500%. Then the day after the left it went to shit. I was up almost 60k at one point. Now because I held I have 10k less then when I started. I am kicking myself in the ass for not selling when I was up that much. Are you coming back? What the hell did the company do dumping all of those shares after you left? Or were those sells just investors that got out with profits? Should I just day trade these and not hold them after you leave? Any advice?

Dont give them too much credit.. this group is very good but I have seen them take on 1 eller 2 deals in the last six months that I wouldn't touch with your trading account. but yes with all do credit compared to the rest of the market and scamer promoters there is nobody whos stocks are worth playing more than these guys and aps or maybe a couple others. Been making money off of stock legends for over a year and will continue to be a supporter just to add to that i am not an easy trader to impress
