But, researchers are still trying to understand the connection
FRIDAY, Dec. 5 (HealthDay News) -- A new study suggests a link between your mental health and your respiratory health -- specifically asthma.
People who rated their mental health as poor were more likely to have asthma than those who described their mental health as good, Brown University researchers report.
If you're a person with both asthma and mental health problems, you should be treated for both conditions, said lead researcher Dr. Thomas Chun, an assistant professor of emergency medicine.
"Though we can't prove that the two are causally related, it may be important to treat both conditions. Successfully improving one condition may improve the other," Chun said.
For the study, published in the December issue of Chest, Chun's team collected data on 318,151 people who took part in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
"We found that any number of days of poor mental health was associated with currently having asthma," Chun said. "Even low levels of poor mental health were associated with an increased risk of currently having asthma."
Specifically, the researchers found that people who said their mental health was poor or fair were at 1.31 times greater risk of asthma, compared with those who rated their mental health as good, very good or excellent.
The researchers also found a "dose-response" relationship between poor mental health and asthma. "The more days of poor mental health that a person reported, the greater their risk of currently having asthma," Chun said.
"That said, it is important to note that our study does not prove that asthma causes poor mental health or vice versa," he added.
Kim Lavoie, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Quebec in Montreal, and an expert in the psychological factors involved in chronic diseases, thinks the possible

What a dull way to end an interesting arc.
Then we get to the encounters, which I feel were not explicit enough in telling GMs to not send the entire army, mid-boss and final boss, all in the same battle!
I understand it said NOT to do this, but I think the fact is is that the scenario is set up such that many GMs WILL do this, because there is not much clear distinction between one wave and the next set of encounters. Basically, it's set up to put the GM to doing something terrible, if he or she deviates even just a little bit from what's written.
So yes, this is a scenario where I say, please don't send the entire army in the same battle with no time to rest in between the encounters. It's a bad idea. And shame on this scenario for setting up the possibility.
Our Price:
I'm not going to lie. This is one of the more disappointing Pathfinder Society scenarios I've lead. Especially for what it does, and what it's supposed to do (introduce players to four of the 10 factions), I really felt like this scenario came up short.
To give background, I have lead this scenario about 4 times, and watched it lead about 3 times. I'm intimately familiar with its pacing and logic, and I always cringe at the same times. This is by no means a bad scenario, but it isn't really a good one either. The only reason I lead it is because it's the only scenario for PFS that bothers to try to "introduce" the world of Pathfinder Society to the players. Thus, I find myself constantly leading the same suboptimal scenario over and over again.
First, let's deal with the premise. It's a basic fetch-quest scenario. Not the worst thing, and I'll give it a pass. If anything, I actually wish more scenarios told players upfront exactly what it was they needed to do. Could the writer have made it a little less obvious that they needed to players to go to points A, B, C, and D, and complete all these little tasks across the map? Maybe. I don't know. Still, this wasn't a bad way to frame a scenario. Just felt it could have used more polish.
Next is the warehouse. This is actually a really good part of the scenario, and strangely, might be the best part of the scenario. It's well framed, has a simple yet interesting encounter, and leaves a lot of room for the PCs to come up with creative solutions to a problem. The premise for the mission is plausible, and the interesting positioning of the box and Dire Rats that attack the players leads to a situation where it's really up to the group's tactical thinking abilities to figure out for themselves how to save the box without having it fall into the water.
After this is the orphanage plot. This one is interesting. I feel like it really depends on the group, and having a good GM. I've seen some groups really botch this, and others feel really confused as to what they were supposed to do here ("I built my character to do about 6 damage per round and have a high AC... suddenly I'm expected to be a detective who actually goes around asking questions and interacting with people normally?") Overall, it might throw some groups for a loop, but with a good GM, I actually really enjoy this part of the scenario. It reinforces that Pathfinders are normal human beings (or elves or half-elves or half-orcs or halflings or gnomes) with normal lives. This is another strong point of the scenario.
Next we get to the "puzzle" section in the Osirion faction intro mission. I hate this section. It's cheesy and nonsensical, and Amenophus is acting just plain strange by asking a random band of Pathfinders to go and solve a random puzzle to "prove" to his people that they are "worthy" to explore their vaults. This makes no sense. Furthermore, the puzzle itself, for all of its setup, is just plain dumb. All you do is brute force everything and try keys everywhere until you open up all the containers. There's really no thinking to it. While I don't doubt some people will enjoy this section, for others, this is really an eye-roller, as a group is set to go through the motions of "solving a puzzle" by trying to see which key fits in which box. It feels like a puzzle, but all you get is a "let's brute force everything" encounter.
Finally, we have the meeting with the Paracountess. This is actually pretty good. The fight with an Imp in his weakened position forces the party to come up with some sort of creative way to deal with an enemy that can turn invisible. It's not too hard, and there's little chance of failure since the Paracountess herself is there, but it still is an enjoyable task for a party to work with each other on how to find a hiding Imp. Also, I know a lot of players really enjoy the Paracountess and go on to join Cheliax, just because they find this part so.. uhh.. appealing to their character's tastes. Yes. Let's go with that.
But wait! Now we come to the "ambush" scene. Oh boy. Now this is where the scenario can really fall apart. I have seen some groups totally blow through this, and I've seen other groups where the party was TPKed or had to run away (this happens about 1/4th of the time I see others run this scenario). This is a VERY difficult encounter for a GM who runs the characters optimally. So my advice is don't. The GM really has to play the ambush scene on "easy" mode, or they risk killing the entire party, after they'll have spent their resources, hit points, and spells dealing with other parties. Add to this that it's very easy to first-time parties to really botch the tactics on this tiny little map, and you've locked yourself in for a real headache of an encounter. It's important to note that the "morale" of the Rogue is to RUN AWAY (which should make the scenario much easier), and it's also important to note that the Cleric is a Negative Energy cleric and cannot heal her fellow party members with the Channel Negative Energy ability. Color Spray is incredibly harsh on a new party, and so while the scenario certainly states that the Sorcerer uses this spell, I really would think twice before using this and possibly killing the party with one spell in one foul swoop. Cast Burning Hands instead from the scroll, or use Magic Missile. Seriously. Color Spray sucks when used on a player on their very first Pathfinder scenario.
Overall, you have 2 good encounters (the werehouse and the paracountess), 2 badly written encounters (the "puzzle" and the ambush), and then 1 in-the-middle encounter that really depends heavily on good GMing ability. That's why I felt this scenario really, at best, is a 3 out of 5 for me. Which is really a shame, because I want to introduce players to Pathfinder Society with a 5 out of 5 scenario instead. Shame.
This was just an overall really well-written scenario. It had a good balance of different types of encounters, and the setting of the Ascendant Court is incredibly flavorful and easy to portray to players. There was the usual issue of some things being a tad contrived (as is usual to all PFS stories) but I think this scenario did a good job of giving its characters believable motivations, which is something that many scenario writers seem to struggle with.

Gallery: Gorgeous Green Energy Park for Korea Electric Power Corporatio...
This gorgeous "Green Energy Theme Park" was designed by H Associates for the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), which held a contest to design their new Naju, South Korea headquarters. H Associates went all out with sloping green roofs, integrated solar power, a wind field, geothermal power, water reclamation and a whole host of other green features. The 29-story tower that emerges from the center of the park is a beacon of green design.

Dear Chairman, CEO, President:
We would like you to sponsor, partially or in full, the construction of our first long range EV prototype, an automobile that will travel 500+ miles with vehicle to grid capabilities and represents an advanced electro-automotive technology.
The invention is the first attempt at solving the problem of range for EVs and EV-related technologies. Our invention addresses gaps in EV technology and applies to all forms of transport, including rail, road (buses, long haul), river boats, and light aircraft. It is an absolute zero carbon emission because it is based on Self-Generating Power Technology or Energy-On-The-Move, an innovative method of advanced, continuous regeneration, something that has never been used or heard of before and that taps unexplored areas that have never been touched previously. The technology will borrow techniques and methods applied in the aviation industry with advanced electronics to execute a multi-function operation, similar to the biggest possible orchestra, with many instruments to balance and tune together. Sophisticated electronics and complex wiring are the most crucial elements in the overall design and execution.
In addition to engraving your name or the name of your company/ organization on our electric car, you will benefit from new strategic options and the potential of increased diversification in products and innovations. It is a win/win situation for economic and environmental objectives by reinforcing the sharp CO2 reduction achieved by Graviton Dynamics' best CO2 neutral developments and inventions.
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Mr. Stéphane De Roche,
Inventor, Managing Director,
MBA, BSc; Bacc. Sc; IIfET

Winter travel and coats
I am in a quandry. We are trying to decide what type of coat to take with us to England/France, and have gotten feedback from friends in Abingdon & Oxford. Besides being water repellent, they're saying make sure it's thick enough to keep us warm.
Here is the problem. I don't want to invest in new coats for all just for this trip, but at the same time, I want to make sure everyone is toasty.
My daughter has a Northface "down" jacket that is not very bulky but is supposed to keep you warm. She doesn't have the problem I do of being cold all the time. My problem is thyroid related (low).
Son has a coat that has a fleece lining (like two coats in one) that could be perfect for him. It's only 2 years old and hardly been used. If he gets too hot (like in Brittany) he could unzip the lining and either use the fleece/windbreaker shell or use the main coat which wouldn't be as bulky.
Hubby has one that's not too bulky but he says it keeps him warm enough.
I have a Banana Republic Down coat that hits below the hips, and worked quite well last year when we were in Branson and it was super cold. It's bulky though...I want to be warm but not look like overstuffed.
What to do? Any advice? I did get the silk thermies (don't keep me that warm), and also an Icebreaker top (love it), and also taking one LLBean wool blend thermal top because I can sleep in that. So I need a coat that will keep me warm, yet not be overly bulky to travel in.
Any advice? What do you winter travellers use?

Coconut Basmati Rice Pudding With Satin Chocolate Sauce
|1 Quart
|Shredded sweetened coconut
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Basmati rice
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|2 Pinch
|For preparing satin chocolate sauce
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs) (Divided)
|Vanilla bean
|1⁄2 , split lengthwise
|Instant espresso powder
|1 1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Heavy cream
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Bittersweet chocolate
|3 Ounce, chopped (Such As Valrhona)
|Unsalted butter
|1 Tablespoon
To prepare Chocolate Satin Sauce
1. In a small heavy saucepan, combine the sugar with 1/3 cup of water. Using the tip of a small knife, scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the sugar water; add the bean. Bring to a boil over high heat and boil for 3 minutes. Whisk in the espresso powder, add the heavy cream and return to a boil, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat.
2. Add the chocolate and let stand until melted, about 2 minutes. Whisk the sauce until smooth. Then reheat over high heat, whisking, just until hot, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter. Serve the sauce hot, warm or at room temperature. (The sauce can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 1 week. Reheat in a saucepan or in a microwave oven just until melted and warm.)
For the pudding
1. In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the milk, coconut, rice, sugar, salt and vanilla bean. Bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Reduce the heat to very low, setting the pan slightly off the burner if necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring frequently to prevent a skin from forming, until the rice is very tender, the milk has reduced and the mixture is thick and creamy, about 1 1/2 hours. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Remove the vanilla bean and squeeze the seeds out of the open ends into the pudding; stir well. (Save the vanilla bean for another use.) Stir in the vanilla extract. Serve the pudding hot, warm or cold, with the Satin Chocolate Sauce.

Ruling, involving 3 families, seen as setback for parents who fear a link
THURSDAY, Feb. 12 (HealthDay News) -- There's no scientific evidence that childhood vaccines such as the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine caused autism in children of parents seeking compensation from a federal fund, a U.S. court ruled Thursday.
The ruling, which involved test cases of children from three different families, was a setback for parents who had filed claims seeking monetary awards from a U.S.-run vaccine compensation program. More than 5,500 such claims have been filed. The claims were reviewed by the Office of Special Masters, part of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.
"It was abundantly clear that petitioners' theories of causation were speculative and unpersuasive," the court said in one of the three cases ruled on Thursday. The court also said "the weight of scientific research and authority" was "simply more persuasive on nearly every point in contention," the Associated Press reported.
Federal health experts applauded the decision.
"The medical and scientific communities have carefully and thoroughly reviewed the evidence concerning the vaccine-autism theory and have found no association between vaccines and autism," the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement on its Web site. "If parents have questions or concerns about childhood vaccines, they should talk with their child's health care provider.
"Hopefully, the determination by the special masters will help reassure parents that vaccines do not cause autism," the statement added.
The court still has to rule on claims from other families, as well as families who contend that thimerosal, a preservative that's no longer used in most routine children's vaccines, caused autism in their children.
But, a judge did hint at future decisions when he stated, "The petitioners have failed to demonstrate that thimero

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, Not Quite a Classic,
J. F Foster - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Holiness Of God (Paperback)
Many have commented that this book by RC Sproul represents the pinnacle work of Sproul's illustrious publishing career. Some have heralded this book as being a contemporary classic. I must respectfully dissent from both views. While I certainly hold Sproul in high regard and consider this particular book to be very good, it could have been a little better.
It is important to emphasize that this book has many more strengths than weaknesses. Sproul's discourse on the immensity, from a finite perspective, of contemplating the holiness and 'otherness' of God is outstanding and should be required reading in churches all over America. American evangelicalism has gotten increasingly soft in the opinion of many (me included), with great emphasis being paid to human abilities and worshipping a God of love that is devoid of justice. Sproul squarely and correctly provides much needed balance in this book on these questions. God is sovereign, He is infinite, He is eternal, and He is holy - we are none of these things. It would serve the body of Christ well to sincerely take some time to contemplate these things so that the American church can hopefully return to a very clear theology about who God is, who we are, and who needs who in this scenario.
Sproul's analysis of the trials and tribulations of Martin Luther is also outstanding. It's amazing to me that many everyday Protestants know almost nothing about the most prominent figure of the Reformation, what he believed, what he espoused, and what his theological and personal struggles were. Luther is not God, but He 'wrestled' with God in many ways over the deepest questions of life. Woe to the American church that we don't have many more people willing and wanting to be like Luther in this respect - choosing instead a surface level faith that is blissfully indifferent to the gravity of these issues. I thought Sproul did a wonderful job in contrasting Luther's insatiable hunger for better knowing the things of God with the current yawning condition of the modern church.
Sproul also provides good material on God's justice, His wrath, and how such things cannot be divorced from His love and mercy. His treatment of the interesting similarities of God's dealings with Jacob, Moses, Job, and Paul is very insightful.
Despite these many strengths, I am compelled to give the book 4 stars for two main reasons. First, Sproul's chapter on the 'difficult' passages of the Old Testament struck me as a bit inadequate. More verses could have been analyzed, and the analysis itself could have been significantly more exhaustive. Sproul is correct that the difficult commandments of God in the Old Testament represent a formidable stumbling block for many. But I didn't think that Sproul's analysis did much to address them. Secondly, I felt that Sproul took way too much liberty in his interpretations of Biblical texts and events. Some no doubt disagree, but I don't think it's a good interpretational technique to take a passage of Scripture and recast it in different language in our efforts to prove a point. This type of practice really lends itself to strawman arguments and fundamental misinterpretation. Sproul did this throughout the book, and I often found myself asking, "How does he know the inner thoughts of the writers, or the unwritten aspects of the event in question, etc". I have always thought that it is much better to interpret Scripture in light of what Scripture says, rather than relying on our own ability to theorize about what Scripture does not say and then using those theories to advance some point. Going beyond what Scripture says is every bit as dangerous as ignoring what Scripture does say. Does Sproul do this here? Maybe, maybe not. The point is that he leaves himself open to this charge when he didn't have to.
Overall, I would certainly recommend the book due to its many strengths. But readers should be careful to test Sproul's slangish translations of Scripture and event theorization in light of the Word of God, because this is a real disappointment of the book. Slangish translations of Scripture are common among those theologians who don't hold to the plenary (word for word) inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture and instead hold to an inspiration of concepts and big ideas. This view gives them wiggle room to play around with the actual words of Scripture. I would argue that a theologian who holds to plenary level inspiration should not be taking liberty with the text the way that Sproul does here. As a result, his translations should be meticulously scrutinized by the reader for faithfulness to the text. A very good book, but not perfect.
5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Will Forever Change Your Life,
T. B. Vick "T.B.V." - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Holiness Of God (Paperback)
This is the best book that R.C. Sproul has written (and I have read dozens of his works). Sproul probes into the depths and riches of the Holiness of God, but he does so with great reverence, respect, and honor. His theology is very sound and his illustrations are excellent. Not only does Sproul portray the true character of God but he also describes what that means to us as Christians. This book will cause you to fall on your knees and cry out to a most Holy, Holy, Holy God. Some of the better chapters are two, "Holy, Holy, Holy" where Sproul delineates just how Holy God is and describes those people in the Bible who have encountered this great Holiness and how that has effected them (i.e. Isaiah crying out that he is "undone."). Another great chapter is "The Insanity of Luther." Here Sproul describes a man who was devoted to making himself holy and desiring to be purged of any sin that would cause him to stray from any form of purity and holiness. In this attempt to do the impossible, Luther is confronted with the only Holy, namely God. Then Sproul describes the changes that Luther went through upon the discovery of true holiness and justification before God (i.e. that this can be obtained ONLY through Christ's righteousness being imputed to us). Overall, this book is in my top twenty all-time favorite Christian works. If I were you I would buy many copies of this book, because you will probably wear them all out one by one as you continue to read this classic work through the years.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great insight in God's nature,
Tom "tj093" (Oswego, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Holiness Of God (Paperback)
R.C. Sproul may be the best Christian writer going today. Although he doesn't get the kind of press that others like Lucado and Wilkinson do, his writing is vastly superior and far more Biblical.
The Holiness of God is full of eye-opening insights into the inconceivable holy nature of God and consequently our sinful state. In a very practical way, Sproul provides mere glimpses (that's all we can really get anyway) of just how holy God is. At the same time, he refuses to avoid the difficult topics (like suffering and evil) that many feel-good, politically-correct religionists do. When we consider the awesomeness of God it will force us to look at ourselves and see exactly how far we are from Him.
5.0 out of 5 stars Holy, Holy, Holy Is The LORD!,
This review is from: The Holiness Of God (Paperback)
This book is unlike any that I have ever read in that it puts the LORD in His rightful place; on the throne, high and lifted up,exalted.
RC Sproul has a wonderful grasp on the Holiness of God. This book is a must read for any Christian who is serious about furthering his or her walk with the Lord. Holiness is not a topic that is preached on, and that is unfortunate, because the Bible tells us that without holiness "no man shall see the Lord." Dr. Sproul's work is compelling, yet easy to understand. I highly recommend this book, and I am willing to discuss it in more detail, so feel free to send me an email.
5.0 out of 5 stars The missing link in modern Christianity,
This review is from: The Holiness Of God (Paperback)
Not just within Christianity, but within religion as a whole. This book is probably the finest theology book I have ever read on one of the most critical subjects that has simply gone by the wayside in the past several decades. Sproul is on par with, and sometimes surpasses C.S. Lewis. This book is like a kick in the head as far as restoring a biblical sense to the relationship between God and man. Everyone talks about God's love, but no one wants to talk about his holiness ... no one except R.C. Sproul who does it so eloquently.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Holiness of God,
This review is from: The Holiness Of God (Paperback)
One of the best books on the character of God available in the market. I have read and reread this book a number of times, and each time I am captured by the holiness of God. What I like about this book is that it makes a very complex topic (holiness of God) into a very readable and easily understood concept, and at the same time still captures the majesty and awesomeness of this aspect of God's character. Definately a recommended read!
5.0 out of 5 stars A good book on a neglected subject,
it (Sunnyvale, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Holiness Of God (Paperback)
This book has two basic features. The first is the subject matter. Holiness is a neglected concept today and this book will make you think. The second feature is the 12th grade reading level. You will not have your intelligence insulted by this book. It is intended for the general public and not theologians. Therefore, there are no obscure technical terms. There are numerous illustrations from history.
5.0 out of 5 stars Holy, Holy, Holy,
Randy Given (Manchester, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Holiness Of God (Paperback)
You many never sing the song "Holy, Holy, Holy" in the same way again. This book gives us a glimpse of the holiness of God. If you can get the audio tape series, listen to that as well. I have enjoyed many of RC Sproul's books and tapes. This book does not disappoint. With the angels, let us say "holy, holy, holy".
5.0 out of 5 stars God is always greater!,
A. Doug Floyd "pilgrim" (Louisville, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Holiness Of God (Paperback)
The Church Fathers had a motto, "God is always greater!" Sproul writes about an awesome holy God who is bigger and greater than anything humans can ever contain. Reading this book started a life long quest of studying and honoring the awesomeness, the terror, and the absolute Holiness of God.

Product description
Who are you? When you start to explore this question, you find out how elusive it really is. Are you a physical body? A collection of experiences and memories? A partner to relationships? Each time you consider aspects of yourself, you realize that there is much more to you than any of these can define. In this book, spiritual teacher Michael Singer explores the question of who we are and arrives at the conclusion that our identity is to be found in our consciousness, the fact of our ability to observe ourselves and the world around us. By tapping into traditions of meditation and mindfulness, Singer shows how the development of consciousness can enable us all to dwell in the present moment and let go of painful thoughts and memories that keep us from achieving happiness and self-realization. Divided into five parts, the book offers a frank and friendly discussion of consciousness and how we can develop it. In part one, he examines the notion of self and the inner dialogue that all of us live with. Part two examines the experience of energy as it flows through us and works to show readers how to open their hearts to the energy of experience that permeates their lives. Ways to overcome tendencies to close down to the rest of the world are the subject of part three. Enlightenment and the embrace of universal consciousness are the subject of part four. And finally, in part five, Singer returns to daily life and the pursuit of "unconditional happiness." Throughout, the book maintains a light and engaging tone, free from heavy dogma and prescriptive religious references. The easy exercises that figure in each chapter help readers experience the ideas that Singer presents.

Author information
Michael A. Singer received a master's degree in the economics from the University of Florida in 1971. During his doctoral work, he had a deep inner awakening and went into seclusion to focus on yoga and meditation. In 1975, he founded Temple of the Universe, a now long-established yoga and meditation center where people of any religion or set of beliefs can come together to experience inner peace. Through the years, Singer has made major contributions in the areas of business, the arts, education, healthcare, and environmental protection. He has previously authored two books on the integration of Eastern and Western philosophy: The Search for Truth and Three Essays on Universal Law: Karma, Will and Love.
Review quote
"In lucid, unadorned prose, Michael Singer delivers the essence of the great spiritual teachings of the Ages. Each chapter of "The Untethered Soul" is an instructive meditation on the binds of the human condition and how each and every knot can be gracefully untied so that our souls may fly. The accuracy and simplicity of this work is a measure of its pure mastery." --James O'Dea, President of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS)

Is it possible to set softkey menu by manual?
My application has such softkey menu as below:
for left softkey, Encode -> SJIS, GBK, UTF8,

How can I config my Command for such menu?
Message was edited by: mikezang
The question is unclear. Do you mean using two menus? If so this is answered in the forum.
Yes, I mean two menus, can you tell me where is that thread?
Thanks for your answer.
I think it is flexible and useful to LWUIT users if LWUIT can support two menus, could you tell me why LWUIT doesn't provide this function?

The road of life is about the journey, not the destination...let's go for a ride!
Where to begin? First off I love to travel and have been lucky enough to travel to a lot of places around the world. It's an amazing experience to see how much is really out there. To experience all the cultures in the world and food (to a point), is something that I've been lucky to do and I try to do it as often as possible. My friends would describe me as fun loving, loyal, good listener, adventurous, and a great...all be it whacky..sense of humor. I like seeing the good in people and really try to live life to the fullest. Whether it be Skydiving, bungee jumping, para sailing, scuba diving or trekking off the beaten path somewhere I feel life is all about experiences. Some of my best experiences have been ones that you can never in a million years plan...or want to relive, I just love living in the moment. I absolutely love going to concerts and am a huge music junky! You'll always find me listening to something. I also love hitting up new bars or restaurants, going to fests in the Summer or a having a chill night on the town. Then there are nights when I'm also content with hanging out at home on the couch watching a movie, ordering in and washing it down with a nice bottle of vino. I like to think of myself as low key, and try not to sweat the small stuff. Crap happens, but when I'm done with work I check it at the door. You'd be hard pressed to find me really upset, just when I find out that the Bears lost! lol I'm also a huge family man. I come from a very close knit family, and we do a lot of things together. You'll often find me hanging out with my three crazy nephews. Whether it's taking them to a monster truck rally or WWE event, or watching them play sports or, more than likely, fight with each other, I love hanging out with them...and then sending them back to their parents! My ideal match would be a women who shares a lot of the same interests as me but also someone who has her own passions and hobbies that she can show and teach me about. I love learning and trying new things, as long as we are both having fun doing it. She would be somebody that likes to have a good time and stays away from as much drama as possible. Being family oriented is a huge plus and loves to travel is a must. So hit me up if you want to know more. Let's get to know each other and see where this goes! Life is too short so let's enjoy it together
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football, Skiing, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs, Horses
Middle of the Road
New Zealand, Australia, Italy, Spain are the top of my list. Ireland @ St. Pats Day, Munich during Oktoberfest, New Orleans during Mardi Gras are a blast! Closer to home I love hanging out downtown, catching a fest or taking a road trip somewhere
Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Carbondale, IL
Love all types of music, everything from Breaking Benjamin & Linkin Park, to Enya. When I watch tv you'll catch me watching Family Guy, Travel /History Channel, HBO series (Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones), Amazing Race.
Love to travel any chance I get! Like to dabble in cooking, if it's edible it's a bonus! I also love listening to music, especially live. Love going to to sporting events (Da Bears!), try a new restaurant or bar, catch a movie..up for anything really
Try to read the newspaper everyday until all the negativity depresses me so then I switch to the sports section ( and if your a Chicago sports fan, that's usually depressing lately too).

Mastopexy with implant: Will my nipple placement rotate upward as my implant settles? (Photo)

Mastopexy with implant: Will my nipple placement rotate upward as my implant settles?
Minimal 6 month wait for final decision

I believe that you're still going through the healing process. This will normally take between 4-12 weeks in order to see actual results.

Mastopexy with implant: Will my nipple placement rotate upward as my implant settles?
Gravity always wins. Your implants will move down a bit over the next 3 months and the nipples will move up. If you had the implants above the muscle this movement would be more. But overall you will have a nice result.
Hope this helps
Results after augmentation-mastopexy
Yes, nipple/areola complexes will appear to rotate upward as implants drop, soften, and settle.
I often tell patients that trying to watch this process is as fruitful as watching your grass grow. You can carefully observe, but see no visible progress, then go on vacation for a week, and return to grass that visibly needs mowing. Healing is SLOWER than that, so there is no conceivable way to see this progress by looking in a mirror, or taking daily photographs. Maybe weekly, but even that seems unlikely. Monthly--now you can see the changes, and even then they are not much, and as dependent on photographic parameters as anything else!
Your surgeon has done a splendid job and you should be quite thrilled with your work. It will only get better as time goes by. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Up at , breakfast not available until 7, but I wanted to organize some gear before loading the bike. I was hungry after yesterday, I didn't have time to eat much all day. The Trans Lab reporter said he might meet me for breakfast in case he needed more background, but I think I'm all talked out, the heck with it.
I've had plenty of adventures and can tell a real decent tale, but put an alcohol induced spin on top of it all, and my reporter dude was sittin' on the edge of his chair, eyes wide, camera rollin'. I was thinkin' here we go...limo, chartered jet, hollywood, agent, movie rights, got it made...then I remembered I was sittin' in Cartwright on Bingo Night, one Blue over the edge. This is going to be a shorter day of riding, less than 300 miles, but mostly gravel. Great breakfast, now I'm set to ride.
On the wall of the lobby is a photo of the first bikes over the new extension this past winter. They looked half frozen in the photo, still an honor to be the first. I settle up with the manager, and she says not all that many riders have come through Cartwright this season. Understandable, since there's no need to take the ferry down from Happy Valley/Goose Bay anymore, the majority of riders will go straight through down to Port Hope Simpson for fuel and lodging. I came into town last night still on the main tank at 190 miles and could have easily run to the next fuel stop.
I get a road report from a truck driver who had come up from Blanc Sablon yesterday,"Real big rocks the last 100km". I wasn't sure what he meant right then, but would find out later. The carpenters working on the motel want to look at the bike, and are even more interested when I describe how easy and cheap it is to set up. One guy is serious and must have tools and a place to work, he's looking for a winter project. I was about to ride across the road for fuel when one of the guys said "Watch out for that girl down at Port Hope." Huh, "What girl?", and the guys were all laughing. "Ya will know if ya find her.", and that got more laughs, but no more information. I'm pretty good at watching for girls, shouldn't be a problem.
The gas bar across the road is finally open and I ride over for fuel. The gasboy said he has seen some bikes, but I don't think all that many. The talk turns to hunting and fishing, the main passions of his life. I don't think he believes me when I say the deer in Virginia are running around like rats, come on down and shoot about a hundred of the damn things, they're a hazard on the roads. When I mention that we're also overrun with resident
My mirror experiment has held together so far, I need at least one in place.
I wanted to see the town and took the circle route along the water. There's not much going on now, and I blame the extension once again. All the traffic can just stay out on the extension, no need to come in here.
The main wharf is so quiet I can ride right out there to photograph the boats tied up at the commercial fishing pier farther down the harbor.
I pass another motel and pub along the waterfront, possibly a better choice, but at 0 dark 30 last night when I arrived I wasn't feeling like being choosey. Time to get on the road and I wave to the guys at the hotel when I ride by, a friendly bunch, but they had me wondering about that "girl".
Now I can see what I was riding in the dark, some scary shit, I'm moving slower in daylight than I was in the dark. Those Piaa fogs had earned their place last night. Sixty miles to the intersection, but I have to stop for some road art, a pastime apparently enjoyed by many.
I couldn't see much last night in the pitch black, so this is a brand new road this morning and I'm enjoying the ride again.
I pass more rugged country that I missed last night.
I just plain like this country, and never tire of the long view.
Down to the Trans Lab intersection, the signage is open to your own interpretation. The highway people must figure that if you're on this road, you must already know the direction you're going.
The start of the road southeast to Port Hope Simpson is as fast a gravel surface as you're going to find, 70 cruise, and I could have gone faster. At that speed you can hardly turn and certainly not stop in an emergency, you need to hold back some. The fun ended when I ran back into the marbles and had to slow down, nuts.
Long views and rivers, I have to stop again, I rarely ride by.
Traffic has been light to start the day on this section, but the vehicles out there were raising some dust. You could see the dust long before the actual vehicle. Once again today, most of the traffic is northbound. All the traffic, vehicles big and small, is flying. The southbound traffic seems to come out of nowhere again, no matter how much I watch my lone mirror.
The lingering dust in the air almost looks like smoke as it drifts through the trees. Once traffic has stirred up the road, you would be breathing this dust for the rest of the day.
The river is wide here and only a few more miles southeast it flows into a narrow bay along the coast. The river must be fairly shallow, I see no large boats.
Once in town, I take the opportunity to ride around, get stuck in someone's yard where it looked like a street, dodge a bunch of junk and stray dogs, and finally find fuel back on the road.
Besides fuel, this store sells a little of everything, food, clothes, sporting goods, guns and ammo…can't forget the Stihl chain saws and Polaris snowmobiles. Ice cream too.
I got an ice cream bar from the freezer, found a Muggs root beer in the cooler, wasn't expecting Muggs up here. This is a Mom and Pop store, and both were here fussing with the multitasking it takes to keep a place like this running. I was thinking about a souvenir t-shirt, but the bike on there just wasn't quite right.
I was standing near the front door when a young woman came through with a rush, short shorts and a stretchy top that fit like skin. This just had to be the "girl" the boys over at Cartwright were talking about and I'm thinkin' "Helloooooo darlin', ain't you a sight". She marched right behind the counter, must be the Mom and Pop's daughter. I'm glad she wasn't the one that picked up my ice cream bar, the chocolate part would have melted. I was reaching for my camera, this is definitely worth a few photos, but then I thought about all the guns stacked along the walls.
The girl must have given her perv-o-meter to the Mama bear, because Mama was on high alert, her facial expression tuned to "Whatcha lookin' at mister"? The alarm on that meter was about to go off like a freakin' firehouse gong, might be some shootin', and I wasn't going to ride very far with a butt full of birdshot. Since they were already a Polaris dealer, she should have auditioned for the Miss Polaris Snowmobile 2010 calendar. It would have taken some creative tailoring to fit her in a nice snowmobile suit, she had a pair of really…well, really long legs too. You might have to get in line to offer her assistance with all those zippers.
I'm talking with Pop about the road and surface conditions south "

The road south of Port Hope Simpson is rough just like Pop said, my high speed runs are over for the day. Pot holes, washboard, loose gravel, deep gravel berms, the works, and I was pounding along. The river has widened as I approach Marys Harbour, great views out across the water.
The road was rough, some of the least maintained sections of any I had been on this trip, but I was about to find out where all the effort was allocated.
The road is following the water, and its getting wider as it approaches the coast.
I wanted to see Marys Harbour, so I take the short run into the village from the intersection. In contrast to Port Hope Simpson, this place has been shined and polished. Occupied for centuries, life here still revolves around the water. The residents were obviously very proud of their little village.
Out to the intersection and south,
All I has to do now was figure out how to cross this section without turning the ride into a blood sport, and I would be at the bottom of the road. The terrain had opened up again, just small trees and low growth trying to root in solid rock. Traffic had been light all day, but now when Im trying to ride these big marbles theres truck traffic and more blinding dust. The road is tough when you can see it, and when you cant beyond tough. I was using the whole road again, watching my mirrors, trying to find a track through this stuff, but there wasnt one. Twenty miles from
At this point Ive ridden 2000 miles of gravel without wrecking on these roads, now Im struggling to get the last little bit behind me. Lets go, and I slip and slide my way to the bottom, making some speed, but a fearsome ride the whole way down. The pavement looks good, and eight bikes pass northbound, the riders just starting the gravel. Good luck to ya, if you had stopped I would have given yall some of my magic voodoo dust, ya might need it.
The gal at the
The road from
So I race across this road and get to the ferry landing, time to spare, and plenty of space available except, they are transporting an LP tank truck and arent allowed to take a full load, damn, how do you predict these things. I dont get the logic, if the freakin thing blows, whats a few more passengers?
So I can camp at the landing in the rain, or go find a motel, now theres a tough one. Back to Blanc-Sablon, this town has two parts, and I find a motel thats a rabbit warren of rooms with a dozen different room sizes and rates, pick one. The place was clean and well maintained, and I joked around with the owners trying to get straight on the local time and the ferry schedule which was on Newfy time.
Now that I was on pavement, my thoughts turned back to those gravel roads, its going to be hard to describe that part of the journey when I get home.

there must have been a dozen different makes/models of bikes that went through there, most reported problems, so it wasn't just the rider and bike. i thought i saw a report that a rider went down in those marbles. unusual little stretch of road, tough finish, but also a tough start for the CCW riders.

Funny how the conditions can change on those roads from month to month, when we through from east to west mid July I was amazed at how good the road from Red Bay to Port Hope Simpson was, 110-130kph the whole way, Great report and sure does bring back great memories!

I still didn't have a ferry reservation because the reserved space was already taken, 75% of normal capacity. That left the remaining 25% to be fought over starting two hours prior to departure, better get there early. I was out the door before because of the time difference and wanted to be first in line, no I didn't want to spend any more time in Blanc-Sablon. I was the early bird when I got there, no one else around and the doors were locked, first in line.
Slowly additional people drifted in and now there was a crowd, mainly men, and an orderly group. Truck drivers, commercial fishermen, salesmen, and all the rest. The doors were unlocked at the appointed time, and a newly arrived elderly couple elbowed their way through the waiting crowd without a word, darted through the door, and were now first in line. Round little man with an unpleasant looking wife who had applied her eyebrows with a black magic marker just that morning. Rude behavior has no age limit, and it would be a shame if someone didn't get on after that long wait. Try that move in the States and there would be gunfire, kinda tends to make the line cutters think twice.
I was second in line, got my ticket, some ridiculously low price for a ferry crossing, now we just need the ferry and it was running late. I was faced with a long wait in the staging line, and that's when it started to rain. There were some commercial boats coming and going at the side of the wharf, scallopers by the way they were rigged. I have always liked the commercial waterfront, something of interest going on constantly.
No other bikes in line, once again, where is everyone? This ferry is on the route, both CW and CCW for the Trans
You can get a good look at the headlands that mark this rugged coast, unchanged since first occupied by indigenous peoples or Europeans.
Even today, it appears an unlikely place to settle, but with L'Anse aux Meadows across the
Small ponds were everywhere, water captured in rock bowls. This is moose country, I won't mind if I don't see any.
Looking out across the country, I keep thinking, why this place? Why not farther south? Maybe those early settlers did go south and we haven't been able to prove it.
Lunch at Timmies in St. Anthony were I meet the Stihl salesman again after talking with him at Blanc-Sablon. He lives in
Around the corner and up the road to L'Anse aux Meadows, the end of the peninsula. Some small groups of houses and waterfront sheds, but otherwise rock and water.
I can understand the need for color in this environment, although the natural colors have their own stark beauty.
The actual site of the Viking settlement is slightly elevated, but appears surrounded by low wetlands. I wouldn't have picked this place, but then nobody asked me.
The parking lot is full, people wanting to see the reenactment, I'd rather read the book and use my imagination. Now that I have seen the lay of the land, I can pull the whole picture together.

The rain had eased, and I wanted to camp at the park close by so I was riding south, west, then northwest. A quick stop at Griquet for some spirits and I get a guided tour through the wine and liquor selections by the owner, finally selecting some scotch in a brand Ive never heard of.
Im about to get back on the bike when a local guy walks up and asks whether Im on my way to see the show at LAnse aux Meadows. In the States I would describe him as an unreformed hippie, but up here he might just be one of the Viking cast members. I said Nah, just comin from there, dont care to see the show. Shouldnt have said that, my Viking buddy was wild eyed, evidence that he thought controlled substances should be used as condiments. Thirty minutes of rant later, I got the history of
I went back in the store to get rid of my pop bottle, and find everyone looking at me, they had been watching the drama through the windows. When I said I hate to be the first one to say so, but I think that guy has been smokin something out in the bush, that brought the house down, everyone laughing. I have to go find a place to camp, and drink up some scotch.
I picked a nice spot for the tent and set up right away, it still looked like rain.
Cant forget my scotch, Golden Wedding, now theres a name for liquor. Drink much of this stuff and there wouldnt be a wedding, period.
Camp is set up and no rain so far, lets ride to the coast, maybe find some dinner. Moose country again, I need to be back to the Park before dark.
The coast has scattered homes, some grouped together, others standing alone. When I pass a small cemetery, I have to stop. The crosses are unmarked as if the occupants are unknown, the circumstances puzzling.
The coast in this area has the same rugged feel as the rest, each scene unique, each scene compelling.
I find a small café and get the waitress to make me two big sandwiches to go, I dont have time to sit down. Dark was coming on and I still wanted to look at more coast.
Just twilight now, I had lingered too long. I cant blame myself, who the hell knows when or if Ill ever be back. Speed is tempting, moose encounters arent. Im surprised when a 12GS passes in the other direction, where the heck was he going?, theres not much out here. Back at the Park safe, a cloudy but mild evening, I can sit at the picnic table to write in the journal and drink scotch with a touch of iceberg water.
Im thinking of Vikings on this ancient coast as the day ends my travels are nothing.

Ugh, I can't believe they let you leave the store with Golden Wedding.
You didn't try asking in french did you?
That might explain how you ended up with lighter fluid.
May I recommend a nice Dalwhinnie, or perhaps a Glenmorangie next time?
You must have a cast iron stomach, since your RR is living proof you survived with little or no permanent brain damage!

Actually, it is a little tough to find on Google maps. There are several locations with the names you give, and the roads only show up when you zoom in. If you zoom out for a larger view, the roads dissappear. I haven't tried in another map software yet.
It is a good ride report.

The Fastest Growing Sector: The Hispanic Community
The Hispanic community has emerged as the fastest growing segment of our communities, yet they have little or no knowledge of Girl Scouting and its benefits to girls, hence our Hispanic Outreach endeavors were initiated.
Girl Scouting values inclusiveness and strives to reflect all its communities. Our Hispanic Outreach programs has become an important initiative to gain girl membership in our Hispanic communities and to grow the understanding and value of every girl having a Girl Scout Leadership Experience.
Growing up can be difficult, but growing up in a new culture is more challenging. The Girl Scouts' Hispanic Outreach supports Hispanic girls to overcome these challenges as they build bright futures as Girl Scouts. In a safe and friendly environment our girls address what it means to be bilingual and bicultural while they are exploring the world around them.
Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta's Hispanic Outreach works with all grade levels of Hispanic girls together with trained bilingual and non-bilingual volunteer leaders who provide the Girl Scout program.
A strong partnership with schools, community agencies and the Hispanic media is the core of the Hispanic Outreach efforts. Collaboration with community-based service agencies provides connections to the Hispanic community so that we may positively impact the lives of more girls.
Hispanic girls, have a place in Girl Scouts as they develop leadership skills and the confidence to be successful. Through
Inspirando Niñas
, we celebrate Hispanic origins and provide programming that touches the Hispanic community.
During the celebration of the Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate our Hispanic Girl Scouts through Inspirando Niñas, a fundraising reception and silent auction designed to raise funds to underwrite the costs of participation in Girl Scouts for Hispanic girls. This includes uniforms, books, awards, registration fees, and transportation.
We ask for your support to help bring awareness to this initiative as we provide programming to the Hispanic community.
Meet our Generous Sponsors.
