Day 8
First task for this morning was tightening my bike's chain. It looked already very worn and I started to worry how to get back home with this chain. Actually I knew that chain would be a problem, because it had already 12000km before our trip, but I didn't want to change perfectly good chain than
Our B&B (w/o breakfast
So we headed to Telavi center to find some breakfast. Minced meet, very tasty. I have forgotten the georgian name for this food though.
Fountain in Telavi
Our plan for today was to go west. We planned to pass Tbilisi and visit Georgian capital on our way back home if we have time.
Next suitable goal from our gps seemed to be
- the cave city from 12th century.
So we filled our tanks with fuel, typed "Vardzia" as a goal to our gps and hit the road.. Every georgian fuel station has friendly personnel standing next to the pump, ready to fill your bike (car etc) fueltank for you. We never could refuel on our own there!
First km's were nice and smooth asphalt
Straight road, not so common in Georgia
Soon we reached mountains again.
Of course every now and then we encountered some gravel strips.
And you must be prepared for this too
After few hours we reached Georgian only highway, from Tbilisi to the sea.
Next to Tbilisi we found a place with many houses, all similar to each other.
Those houses were built from Georgian government for people who lost they're houses in war against Russia in 2008.
And then was time for lunch.
Wild boar from the restaurant
After lunch Raul's bike's rear tire was flat again. Luckily suitable repair shop was right there, just across the road!
Old patch we glued on few days ago was gone. Now we let specialists to do they're job. And they did it perfectly, we didn't have any problems with tires anymore during our trip. It wasn't easy to work under the sunshine and temperature around +35C (I have no idea how many F, but probably alot
And soon we were ready to go again. Guys from tire repair refused to take any money from us, so Raul gave them one of the small souvenir bottles with "Old Tallinn" liqueur we had with us. After that they asked us to not drive any further, but stay with them for tonight and have a party. Great!
We decided to go on though.
Everywhere in Georgia you must be aware of cows! They can walk everywhere and everybody must wait.
We needed some supplies and found a shop - it's almost a supermarket in Georgia.
When we drove through villages, we discovered that every village has they're own specialty, some were selling bread, some carpets and so on. This village was selling hammocks. We couldn't understand why they were specialized like that. If you missed a village which sells bread you couldn't buy it from another!
We bought a watermelon. They were very surprised when we requested for smaller one, because we couldn't fit regular-sized watermelon on our bikes.
Unfinished bridge over the valley. Georgian road construction department has probably much better funding In the past. We saw such signs everywhere.
Looking for a campsite for tonight we found some really steeep trails and both of us crashed few times before we gave up.
Another dead end.
Looking better.
Found it right before sunset!
Setting up our kitchen
Our dinner
And dessert
And that's it for today. 260km. We believed to be not too far away from Vardzia and visit it tomorrow.

The session(s) below are for 2014. For Summer School 2014 unit of study availability please visit the Summer School website (main Summer session January/February 2014).
The University of Sydney session calendar shows exact dates for sessions.
|Accounting, Business and Society
|UoS Code
|Credit points
|Semester 1 and Semester 2
|ACCT1001 or ACCT1002 or ACCT1003 or ACCT1004 or ACCT1005
|Assumed Knowledge
|Additional Information
|This unit of study is a compulsory part of the Bachelor of Commerce and combined Bachelor of Commerce degrees.
|1x 1.5hr lecture and 1x 1.5hr tutorial per week
|Tutorial contribution (15%), written assessment (10%), mid-semester examination (25%) and final examination (50%)
|This unit investigates the fundamentals of accounting and aims to provide a broad understanding of the role of accounting in the context of business and society. The format of the unit is designed to show that there are many uses of accounting data. The focus moves from accountability to decision making; both functions are explained through examples such as the 'double entry equation', and from an output (financial statements) perspective. Some more technical aspects of accounting are outlined, including the elements of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses within simple, familiar scenarios. Besides developing an understanding of the role of accounting via conventional financial reports, recent developments including the discharge of accountability by companies through the release of corporate social and environmental reports and the global financial crisis, are explored through an accounting lens.

The Base Station is the component of the Safety Turtle wireless alert system which sounds the alarm. All Safety Turtle wireless systems require at least one base station. Safety Turtle sensors have no audible or visual outputs, so they serve no useful function without a Base Station. There is no limit to the number of sensors/sensor types of the same color that can work with one Base Station. In the first case, Base Stations alarm in unison only when the sensor is activated where coverage overlaps. In the second case, the coverage areas are nominally the same and the Base Stations are intended to alarm in unison.
Get an alert when we add new styles of Terrapin! Simply sign up and we'll notify you.
Terrapin/Safety Turtle's alarm system is designed to prevent water related accidents before they occur. All of their easy to use products require little to no installation. Safety Turtle's wristband, base station, wireless gate system and Turtle Power's innovative security system provides uninterrupted protection whether you're away or at home. It's safe and effective to use for adults, children and pets. Safety Turtle's portable design allows you to use it near any water hazard.

Never said anything about how much money you make and don't care. Not sure where you are getting that from. Never said you don't know your heads from your tails either. I hear you have some very good mechanics up there. Just said you don't know much/nothing about customer service and so far you haven't proved me wrong. Ok.....now is the time to prove me wrong and announce you will open on Sunday next summer and will honor appointments travelers make!
BMW created a nice monopoly for it's dealers with those "SUPER expensive BMW Diagnostic computers".....they don't sell them to anyone else so people HAVE to come to a dealer.....right??? You don't HAVE to have any better customer service skills than the government.....customers have no choice.....take it or leave it. And people think Harley has the best "Marketing System", theirs sucks compared to BMW. I think that whoever thought that up must be a genius.
Don't feel sorry for me and my priorities aren't screwed up. The wife and I LOVE to ride. As I mentioned I make 100% of my money in the summer and work my ass off 7 days a week to keep my CUSTOMERS HAPPY. We spend the winter at our place in AZ and ride most every day while you guys are freezing your azz off up here. I figure that is a fair trade for missing D2D and not much riding up here....eh?? What do you do in the winter???
I must complement you for coming on the forums......most dealers don't do that. Then again.....there is probably a good reason.....eh???

His cat died which takes the humor out of that story for me. Always sorry when someone loses a pet.
Jesus, this thread has become quite heated!
I think there are a few key assumptions being thrown around that need to be identified. It seems as though people might be under the impression that those of us in the powersport industry aren't doing everything in our capacity for our customers, or that we aren't catering to every need in our power. WE ARE. I know the boys up north are, and we in town are too. Independent or not, believe me, we're busting our butts because we like what we're doing regarding product and service!
I take great pride in taking care of those traveling, be it from the south side of town, or the tip of Maine. Making someone's day (aka exceeding their expectations) is one of the most rewarding feelings.
I'm not here to tell anyone how to run their company because I have my own to worry about. Given where Trails End was and where it's headed, I have every bit of faith in my BMW colleague and I know they're making changes for the better.
If anyone needs me I'll be restocking tires/oil filters/air filters/spark plugs/levers/chains/sprockets/tubes/etc...

It boils down to customer service.I own a trucking company. We don't do our own service/mechanical work. ALL of our mechanical work in done by Fleet and Equipment in Big Lake. They have the best mechanics in the area.
Just like your business......with all the gravel trucks running in the summer....they are extremely busy. In the winter things slow down for them. Not much going on. They keep the same staff on winter and summer.
We take our trucks in there for service every 250 hours on the meter.....which is every 4 to 6 weeks. For a regular service they like a weeks notice.....no problem. However, when one of my trucks has a problem between services I just give them a call and explain the problem and send the truck right over. When the truck arrives, there is a "NASCAR type pit crew" there waiting for them. They get the truck back running "right now". If the truck can't make it to the shop...they send a service truck out...."right now." They take such good care of my trucks, I have only had to call their service truck out 4 times in the past 15 years.
I don't have a clue what goes on behind the scenes or how they do it....but they do. They close Saturday at noon and are closed on Sunday. They have a mechanic with a service truck ready to go 24/7. I have his number. Did I mention......I have been EXTREMELY happy with their service.
I don't know what it takes to run a motorcycle shop. BUT I get sick of listening about how busy dealers are in the summer and can't take proper care of their customers. That's why I called BS on the shop in Fairbanks. He doesn't know much about costumer service.
Please note.......My wife tried to buy a new BMW in your shop. The salesman kept talking to me instead of her.....pretty much pissed her off. On top of that you guys don't allow "test rides" on new bikes. I am not going to spend a penny on a bike we can't test ride. We went to NM and bought a BMW from a dealer down there. We were allowed to test ride it as long as we wanted....the wife loved it and we bought it.
Bottom line is I hear you guys whining about how busy you are in the summer and can't handle all the business. I am calling BS on that too. I don't know how to run a motorcycle shop anymore than I know how to run a trucking mechanical shop. I have seen it done and know it CAN be done. You guys just haven't figured out how to do it....or don't care.
BTW....Whats the deal with no test rides on new bikes at your place???

I went to TMS this summer with money burning a hole in my pocket.
Do you have a GS Rallye? No
Can you get me one? No but we have a triple black
I want a white one? You can paint it
You can't get me a Rallye? No and nobody has one you have to wait until next year
Funny that they got one in Fairbanks soon after and every dealer I call in the states has one ready to go.

TMS doesn't allow test rides either. Only shop that seems to throw they at you is HOH. I would like to see demo days at either shop as I hate asking people to ride thier bike. Oh and a twin KTM dealer in A-town.

We don't and haven't allowed test rides because we sell new units. If you're buying a $20k+ motorcycle and you see 50/100/150 miles on it, that's not new. That's been our logic regarding test rides. We've been around since 1972 and it's worked since then. Is it the way to proceed in the future? It's being discussed...
2013 KTM Twins are being released in Jan/Feb, expect something to happen...
When someone buys a new bike, and I'm sure Trails End is the same way, we cater hand and foot to them. If there's a problem, we're fixing regardless. If a customer decides to spend money in our place of business, you better believe I'll do everything in my power to take care of them.
HOWEVER, if someone from out of town shows up with no notice demanding service when we're taking care of people who have waited patiently for their work to be done, guess what...we aren't going to drop at a moments notice. If all the person needs is a pair of eyes on his tire, that's no big deal, but if they show up demanding 30k services with NO lead time, that's more of a challenge to our small service department.
My point here is no one from our shop, and I'm sure Trails End will agree, is complaining about how busy we are! That's ludicrous to complain about TOO MUCH business. We are simply saying that good help is damn hard to find, and in order to keep quality high, sometimes we're forced to work with less, meaning we can't always take care of the customer as well as we want to.
Does that mean we're bitching about how busy we are? NO, absolutely not, we love it, and I'm sure Trails End is the same. We're so lucky to have great customers like you all out there both in state and out, in country and abroad!
I would love to have a "nascar" (from Jeff Gordon's team, they're the best) style pit crew, but I have what I have, and I stand behind my business 110%, but I'm always looking to improve!
Last two points:
Regarding upsetting your wife, I'm very sorry. It's a male dominated industry and that can produce some unwanted stereotypes. If you come back in the shop (and I understand if you don't) you'll see that salesman doesn't work here any longer...
R1200GS Rallye: We had one, had it at the show, eventually sold it at the end of May. We had if for more than enough time, but we only got one. BMW has changed the way they allocate bikes in favor of pure volume. It's ridiculous because it impedes a shops growth by giving favors to those who already have volume. If we're killing it for AK, that's a drop in the bucket for any large dealer down south, thus preventing us to get the units we want.
It sounds like you got a smart ass answer to your question, and I'm sorry. Sometimes we jest, and that can turn south. Sometimes our frustration with BMW corporate can come out in less than professional answers.
Lastly, as far as getting one from another dealer, with our other brands its way easy, but BMW is a bit more of a challenge. That said a dealer trade is possible, and if you ever need a unit we don't have, I'll work my short statured rump off finding it for you. If I can't get it, I'll tell you where to go.

BMW has a Demo program. Many dealers participate in it. Bike gets x amount of miles on it (2500) and it sells for a discounted price. Our dealer usually has the latest greatest on the lot outside for demo rides. Pickup late on a Saturday return when they open on Tuesday. Several hundred miles is a real test ride!

Trails End has participated in the test ride program, for some bikes at least. I and a few others I know have taken test rides on bikes there. I rode a F800GS and I know others that rode a SS1000R, a K1600GT and a F650GS.
By the way, if you want to pee on Justin's leg again you should wait a week or so. He will be competing in the GS Trophy Challenge qualifier in Moab, UT. Spousal unit and I will be down there watching Justin as well as Hacky show their stuff. I know you all wish them both success.

Good luck in Moab, Justin. Kind of wish I had the time to get over there, just to shake your hand. Seems like if its going to be a tough challenge, you got plenty of practice in with this thread
Both dealerships did us well in 2009, when 4 of us came up there. Dont tell anyone, but i remember some British guys wrenching on their bikes in the parking lot on Potter. And, my buddy did the strip down on his GS to get tires changed in Fairbanks, in the parking lot. Didnt think about it at the time, but we got tires changed even tho we walked in off the street.
Being in a service company myself, I do like the idea of the shops being open 7 days a week to meet the customer's needs. But it will definitely be an issue finding staff to cover those days.

Struggling towards the GS Trophy Qualifier...
Hey guys... I'm going to have to resuming waving my dick around a little later...
Currently I'm in BC, Canada trying to make it to the GS Trophy West Coast Qualifier in Moab, UT. I got set back a day and a half when I developed a nasty infection in my elbow! Most likely from all my dick waving! It was looking like I would need to turn back for Alaska yesterday but some improvement has me pushing on today.
They are thinking more that it may be Burcitis (sp?) now. They've wrapped my IV up so I can get a motorcycle glove over it and push on to Prince George. I'm feeling much better today. The Canuck Docs want me to get IV antibiotics for a bit longer until the swelling and redness shows a more accelerated retreat.
No travel insurance. Highly unlikely I'll be covered under my current health insurance. This will be a huge kick in the financial ding ding for sure.
But Moab is still almost in sight, so I'm sticking to optimism now. Getting on the bike for a 4 hour push to P.G. will re-evaluate then.
Keeping more up to date posts here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trail...35675129806997
and tonight I hope to add to the blog: www.trailsendbmw.blogspot.com
I also have a spotwalla real time map going: http://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?...e50500417d7778
Oh and Brendon... Thanks for picking up the ball on this thread for now. I appreciate the help.
Trail's End has a Rallye Edition R1200GS on the floor and ready to go... just send me an email: email@example.com We've got a nice selection for anyone looking to stare at their new bike all winter long and farkle the nuts out of it!
Happy Bitching everyone! (whoops that must be the meds talking...) I'll be back to do some more dick waving after Moab. We got a long cold winter ahead of us in Fairbanks. Plenty of time to keep this thread going.

Thank you for your question. Plateau iris syndrome is a relatively rare condition that can lead to a type of angle-closure glaucoma. Briefly, patients with plateau iris syndrome have an anatomic variation in which the iris (the colored part of the eye) joins the sclera (the white part of the eye) and creates a very narrow drainage angle. The iridotomy is not done to treat the plateau iris syndrome or the glaucoma, but is more of a diagnostic tool. This relieves any component of "pupillary block" that might cause pressure behind the iris and force it to bow forward and cause a narrowing of the angle. If the iridotomy is performed and the iris does not fall back, this is diagnostic of having plateau iris (the diagnosis cannot be made until after an iridotomy has been done). Again the laser iridotomy is not a treatment for plateau iris syndrome and will not lower the pressures. The procedure will not have any impact on the left eye; however, your eye doctor should complete a gonioscopy to make sure that you do not have narrow angles or plateau iris configuration in the left eye as well. He may suggest doing a laser iridotomy in that eye if needed. If you are having headaches and sensitivity to light with Xalatan, you can try one of the other prostaglandin analogs (Lumigan or Travatan) or a different type of medicine. At this time, there are no vitamins or supplements that have been proven by randomized controlled trials to treat glaucoma. Any claims otherwise are completely false or misleading.
Thank you for your question. Yes, if a parent has glaucoma, it does increase the child's risk of having glaucoma in the future. In the general population, approximately 1.86% or approximately 2 out of 100 people have glaucoma. This number increases to approximately 10% in children that have a parent with open-angle glaucoma. (i.e., 1 out of 10). There are many different genes that we have identified as having a relationship to glaucoma and there is an extensive amount of research being done on this exact subject. As we begin to know more about the genetics of the disease we may be able to identify which people are at a higher risk of developing the disease in the future. Answering the second part of your question is much more difficult. At this time, there are only very rare circumstances in which we would suggest using glaucoma medications in a preventative fashion. Even though approximately 1 out of 10 children can develop glaucoma if their parent has this eye disease, this also means that 9 out of 10 will not. Given the fact that the medications that we use to treat glaucoma also have side effects, we could be putting a lot of people at risk for developing those side effects even though they would never develop the disease. This is not good medical practice. However, there are a few very special circumstances in which a patient diagnosed with ocular hypertension or as a 'glaucoma suspect' may consider taking medications before having the definitive diagnosis of having glaucoma. However, this can only be determined after the patient has a thorough examination by an eye doctor and I would even suggest that this type of decision should really be made by a glaucoma specialist.
Thank you for submitting your question. I am sorry that your sister is going through all of this. Without having examined your sister's eyes personally, it is difficult for me to give an exact answer to your question. Unfortunately, there are many different types of glaucoma that patients can get (primary open-angle glaucoma, angle-closure glaucoma, diabetic neovascular glaucoma, and traumatic angle-recession glaucoma, for example). Sometimes, depending on the type of glaucoma that a patient has, medications do not work as well for one form of the disease as they do another. The other problem is that even in the same type of glaucoma, for example all patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, individuals respond differently to the treatment. I have some patients that need one drop a day for the rest of their lives and they never have any further problems. I have patients like your sister who try all of the medications, yet none of them seem to work. Unfortunately, we are still trying to find out what causes all of these different types of glaucoma and how to best treat each of them. It sounds as though her doctor has tried all of the drops, but they have not worked for her. The next options are either using a laser or surgery to try and treat the glaucoma. Unfortunately, with a pressure of 46, I am not sure that the laser would be sufficient. I would agree that a surgery (trabeculectomy or glaucoma shunt tube) would be the best next step. If the pressure is not lowered, your sister will eventually lose her sight in that eye. I know undergoing surgery can be very scary, but the good news is that most patients do very well. I suggest that she have a discussion with her eye doctor about the risks, benefits and alternatives of having trabeculectomy surgery. Because she is scared, this conversation may take some time, but discussing all of her fears may help put her more at ease. You might consider writing down her questions for the doctor so that you do not forget any. I wish you the best of luck.
Thank you for your question. Many glaucoma specialists and our glaucoma patients are anxiously awaiting the release of a generic version of Xalatan (or any of the prostaglandin analogs). To my knowledge, the generic for Xalatan will not be available until after March 2011, although I may be incorrect about that. I am mainly going by a July 6, 2004 decision by Judge Stanley R. Chesler of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The legal finding was that Pharmacia's patent on formulations and uses of latanoprost (Trade Name Xalatan) covered under U.S. patent# 5,296,504 that expires in March 2011 was valid, infringed upon and enforceable against Par (a drug company trying to make a generic). Further, the court issued an injunction blocking the approval of Par's drug application until the March 2011 expiration of patent #5,296,504 (the Xalatan Patent). Simply put, I would assume that any other generic produced before March 2011 will be found to infringe upon the Pharmacia's patent on Xalatan. The generic will most likely be sold under the compound name Latanoprost and will likely still be 0.005% concentration. I do not yet know who will distribute the generic, but it will be someone other than the Pharmacia & Upjohn Company Division of Pfizer, Inc, New York, NY 10017 as they are the parent company that makes Xalatan.
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, without having examined your eyes myself or having seen the results of your previous tests, I cannot give you an accurate estimation of the chances that you will eventually develop glaucoma in your left eye. There are many things that I would need to know. First, developing primary open angle glaucoma at the age of 24 would be quite unusual (although not impossible). Therefore, I would have to assume it is caused by some other reason. If the glaucoma is secondary to trauma in the eye, then there is no increased risk of developing glaucoma in the left eye compared to the average person (unless it also had trauma). If the glaucoma is caused by new blood vessel growth secondary to diabetes (i.e. neovascular glaucoma), then it is possible that the new vessels could begin growing in the left eye as well. This may increase your risk for developing glaucoma in that eye. As I said, unless I knew more, I could not give you an accurate assessment. I suggest that you discuss the cause of your glaucoma with your eye doctor and ask them the risk of developing glaucoma in the left eye. Because they are familiar with your case and your history, they should be able to give you an accurate assessment of the risk of developing glaucoma in the left eye.
Thank you for the interesting (but quite complex) question. The full answer is beyond the scope of this blog and would take a full discussion of fluid dynamics, eye physiology, and glaucoma pathophysiology to answer appropriately. I will do my best to try to give you an adequate answer; however, I am afraid this answer may not be 100% accurate due to the constraints of time and length. Answering the question as written is difficult, so I am going to try to clarify it a bit by changing it slightly. First, "Would a poorly functioning trabecular meshwork force more fluid through the fistula?" The answer is likely yes. The fluid will primarily take the path of lesser resistance until that pathway is at its maximal outflow capacity. If the trabecular meshwork is completely clogged, there are essentially two methods left for the aqueous fluid to escape. If there is a trabeclectomy, the aqueous can go through the fistula to the conjunctival bleb and be reabsorbed. Otherwise it may be absorbed through a second pathway that uses the ciliary body for reabsorption (the uveoscleral outflow pathway). Continued flow though the fistula and into the bleb is important for its continued functioning; however, is by no means the only factor in determining whether the bleb will continue to function or fail.
Further, the goal of trabeculectomy surgery is not to create a functioning bleb, the goal of trabeculectomy surgery is to lower intraocular pressure to a point that the optic nerve damage does not progress (i.e. if the bleb is perfectly functional but not sufficient to get the pressure low enough by itself, then the glaucoma will continue to progress, and we have not met our actual goal). So if you asked me "If a trabeculectomy has been completed, would you be better off completely blocking the trabecular meshwork at the same time so that all of the fluid is forced through the bleb in an attempt to keep the bleb functioning better." The answer to that is probably not. After a trabeculectomy is completed, some fluid continues to escape through the trabecular meshwork (the conventional pathway), some travels though the uveoscleral pathway, and some through the fistula to the bleb. All three of these pathways are utilized in concert to give us the best chances of achieving the goal of maintaining the intraocular pressure at a lower target goal. I hope this comes close to answering the question. Best of luck.
Thank you for your question. The easiest answer that I can give you is "Absolutely Not". While there is some growing evidence that needing to wear glasses, whether you are hyperopic (far sighted) or myopic (near sighted), may put you at a slight increased risk of developing certain types of glaucoma (i.e. hyperopia is associated with a higher incidence of angle closure in some patient populations), this in no way indicates that because you wear glasses you will absolutely develop glaucoma in the future. In fact, the vast majority of people wearing glasses never develop glaucoma. Similarly, the fact that someone does not wear glasses is not a guarantee that they cannot develop glaucoma. In short, your glasses prescription cannot predict whether or not you will eventually develop glaucoma; but someday with more research, we might be able to understand how a person's glasses prescription changes their risk of developing glaucoma.
Currently, there is no evidence in the literature to indicate that Lasik surgery can cause glaucoma. At times, we will occasionally see patients that have a slight increase in pressure just after surgery if they have to use steroid eye drops to help reduce inflammation; however, this usually goes away after stopping the steroid eye drops (we call this steroid induced glaucoma). To our knowledge, simply having Lasik surgery does not directly cause glaucoma nor does it put you at an increased risk of developing glaucoma in the future.

What is Sundowner's Syndrome?
Sundowner's syndrome is the term to describe the combination of symptoms, like agitation, anxiety, confusion, irritability, mood changes, etc. that many seniors with dementia or cognitive impairment experience. The term "sundowner" appropriately hints towards the time of day these unfavorable symptoms tend to surface. While Sundowner's can strike at any time of day, for most seniors it appears in the late afternoon and early evening.
Medical research suggests that it is the shifting of the biological clock in seniors with dementia that makes them more susceptible to Sundowner's. Since human's natural circadian rhythms respond to the loss of sunlight during this time of day, it's only natural to feel more depressed in the evening. These theories as they relate to Sundowner's symptoms do make sense. However, it's just a small glimpse to shed some light on this mysterious, and oftentimes misunderstood, condition.
Warm Weather Safety for Seniors
Hot weather and extreme temperatures can pose a threat for people of all ages. When a person's body is unable to compensate for the heat and cool itself down properly, they experience heat-related illnesses. Summer sun and heat are particularly dangerous for the elderly, and those with chronic medical conditions are more at risk. Recent research indicates that nearly 40% of all heat-related deaths were among people over 65. Unfortunately, climate changes may increase these numbers even more in the upcoming years.
There are several reasons for a senior's vulnerability to heat. The elderly have a particularly hard time adjusting to changes in temperature. A person's ability to recognize changes in body temperature also decreases with age. A senior is not nearly as aware of their body temperature as a younger adult. For a person on prescription medication, it can contribute to dehydration which intensifies the threat e ...
Animals—Companions and Healers
Animals can have a special healing effect on people of all ages. While health care is typically viewed as a combination of diagnostics, procedures, and medications offered in a medical setting, animals are becoming more and more of a popular, yet unconventional alternative. In fact, research actually shows that animals have the unique ability to heal in ways different than traditional medicine.
Animal-assisted therapy and visiting animal programs are popular in hospitals, long-term care facilities and nursing homes across the country. Whether a senior is bedridden or handicapped, struggling with dementia symptoms or undergoing intensive rehabilitation, programs are available that draw on the kind, gentle nature of animals as a source of healing. Ever notice that many doctor offices have fish tanks in their waiting rooms? Research indicates that watching fish, turtles or other amphibians swim can help patients relax.
Every year our country sees varying levels of flu activity. Some year's numbers are so high it's described as an epidemic. Others we see far fewer cases reported. The Center for Disease Control recently reported that current flu activity is elevated for most of the country. The CDC measures ongoing flu activity by compiling data on reported symptoms, confirmed diagnoses and flu-related hospitalizations. Each of these numbers is on the rise compared to previous flu seasons.
The influenza vaccine is the most common way to protect yourself against the virus that causes the flu. It's recommended that all individuals over 6 months of age obtain the vaccine as soon as it's available. With reported cases continuing to rise, doctors and medical professionals are urging unvaccinated people to get the vaccine because it's not too late. Regardless of whether or not you've received the flu vaccine, there are some extra precau ...
Reports indicate that more seniors are living alone in their homes today than ever before. In a recent AARP study, it's stated that at least 90% of seniors over 65 want to stay at home as long as possible. This statistic isn't surprising. However, what is alarming are the findings that close to half of all seniors living alone suffer from social isolation.
While aging in place is liberating, and helps seniors maintain a sense of independence, it's also lonely and even sometimes dangerous. Homes must be adapted and modified for safe, independent living, but a senior aging in place also needs a strong support system and regular companionship. If all of these elements are in place, living at home alone can be a great choice for many seniors.
As we grow older, it's inevitable that social connections and activity will decline. Whether this is due to illness, lack of mobility, retirement or deaths of family and friends, i ...
Wintertime draws in a whole new set of concerns when it comes to safety. As temperatures drop and inclement weather arrives, seniors are more at risk for health related problems and injuries.
Whether you are living alone, with a spouse, or are the friend or caregiver of a senior who is aging in place, there are a number of things you should know about staying safe and healthy this winter. Here are a few helpful ideas …
A new study in Health Affairs finds that hospice saves Medicare money and reduces hospital and ICU stays near the end of life. The researchers looked at several lengths of stay (days and weeks) as well as patients who stayed about two to three months (53 to 105 days.) It didn't look at the very long stays that had been in the spotlight as potentially inappropriate, particularly in for-profit settings. But the authors note that efforts to curtail hospice spending and length of stay "may be misguided." Instead of working to reduce Medicare hospice spending and creating a regulatory environment that discourages continued growth in hospice enrollment, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services should focus on ensuring that patients' preferences are elicited earlier in the course of their diseases and that those who want hospice care receive timely referral.

SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. — It was early November when Martha Keochareon called the nursing school at Holyoke Community College, her alma mater. She had a proposal, which she laid out in a voice mail message.
"I have cancer," she said after introducing herself, "and I'm wondering if you'll need somebody to do a case study on, a hospice patient."
Perhaps some nursing students "just want to feel what a tumor feels like," she went on. Or they could learn something about hospice care, which aims to help terminally ill people die comfortably at home.
"Maybe you'll have some ambitious student that wants to do a project," Ms. Keochareon (pronounced CATCH-uron) said after leaving her phone number. "Thank you. Bye."

When my husband learned he had advanced lung cancer, he didn't even want to speak to an oncologist about chemotherapy. He saw no point in treatment that could not cure him and might make him feel worse.
Not so, though, for a majority of patients diagnosed with cancers of the lung or colon that have spread well beyond their original site and are currently not curable by any drugs in the medical armamentarium. Most patients with these so-called stage 4 cancers who choose to undergo chemotherapy seem to believe, incorrectly, that the drugs could render them cancer-free.
That is the finding of a recent national study of nearly 1,200 patients with advanced cancers of the lung or colon. Overall, 69 percent of those with stage 4 lung cancer and 81 percent of those with stage 4 colon cancer failed to underst ...

I've often wondered why more families don't call hospice when a loved one has a terminal disease — and why people who do call wait so long, often until death is just days away.
Even though more than 40 percent of American deaths now involve hospice care, many families still are trying to shoulder the burden on their own rather than turning to a proven source of help and knowledge. I've surmised that the reason is families' or patients' unwillingness to acknowledge the prospect of death, or physicians' inability to say the h-word and refer dying patients to hospice care.
But maybe there's another reason. A study in the journal Health Affairs recently pointed out that hospices themselves may be turning away patients because of certain ...

Day 3: Ozark National Forest to Athens, AL.
Miles 1040-1540 (500 Miles)
Isaac, Round 1
Got up early, knowing that i needed to beat feet across AR or ride through a Tropical Storm. Figured the first was a better option.
a few miles from the campsite, the storm began to show its colors for the first time
Beautiful, though incredibly daunting. A few back roads to avoid Little Rock, but, unfortunately, a fair bit of highway in the morning. There are only a few places in AR to cross the Mississippi River, and since i really wanted to stay as south as i could (but still avoid Isaac), i headed for Helena-West Helena area to cross on US49. Found out later that i was lucky to make it through when i did, because they has some significant flash flooding there.
Riding the last 30 or so miles to the river was absolutely BRUTAL. The crosswind made it all i could do to keep the bike upright, and tree lines, where the wind wasn't as bad, had me swerving as much as 3/4 of a lane before i could get the bike straight. Luckily (?) there wasn't much rain until i cross the river.
Into MS, where my phone/gps tracker worked the best of the whole trip.
Basically, i took MS 4 all the way across the state. Nice piece of road! Really, one of the best "put some miles on, and enjoy the whole thing" roads i was on the whole trip! Into small towns, out of small towns, through fields, into pine forests.
I love this picture. When i came into the area, i knew that was the photo i needed, so i waited for some cars to pass, and pushed the bike in the middle of the road and snapped a few.
I got on the Natchez Trace around Bay Springs Lake. Interesting, though i don't think the whole 444 miles of the Trace is something i really need to do. I crossed into AL on it as well:
and got a picture of the MS sign too, since stopping on the bridge was a bit unrealistic
In AL, i took US72 along the north side of Wilson and Wheeler Lakes. Looking back... it sucked. I was tired, dehydrated, and hot, and stop and go shopping center and state park tourists' traffic was about the end of me... But i made it to a hotel in Athens, AL safely. A hot shower, numerous bottles of water, and a steak at the roadhouse chain next door made up for the ride there at the end of the day. Did some laundry, and called it a night

Love it!
My daughter is a petite almost 7 year old and we decided to try the Child Large so it would fit for a while but yet she would not trip over it. It's great! The length for her height (47 inches) goes nearly to the ground but does not drag and the sleeves are long while the fleece is super soft! She loves this and I know will use it for years to come.

Better Than Anticipated!
This swim parka exceeded my expectations. Since this parka was considerably cheaper than some others, I expected it to be of a lower quality. Boy, was I wrong. It's made of a nice warm material on the inside and the outside seems to be made well. I was also concerned that it might be big and hang on my daughter because she's quite petite for her age, but it fit great. The extra bonus was the nice job of placing the lettering on the back. My daughter is thrilled with this product. No more shivering between meets!
Comfy Parka
We bought this parka for our grand daughter for her birthday. She loved it! It exceeded our expectations in quality and style. Our children had parkas when they swam 20 years ago. Parkas have come a long way in comfort and extra pockets.

My son loves it!
This is my 10 year old son's first swim parka. He's one of those skinny kids that hates cold water. He's much more comfortable after practice wearing this parka. He loves this parka. He wears it around the house, and in the car on the way to school in morning.

Titanium Rib Trailblazer Gala
Titanium Rib Foundation
Friday, August 16, 2013 from 6:30 PM to 11:00 PM (PDT)
Titanium Rib Foundation
the Trailblazer Gala
Dr. Robert Campbell, M.D., co-creator of the original Titanium Rib
Dr. Melvin Smith, M.D., co-creator of the original Titaniun Rib
Lori Buegeler, RN of Christus Santa Rosa Children's Hospital
In 1987, the late Dr. Melvin D. Smith, pediatric general surgeon, consulted with Dr. Robert M. Campbell, Jr., pediatric orthopedic surgeon, regarding an infant with severe congenital absence of ribs and scoliosis. Without intervention, the infant was expected to die so Dr. Campbell and Dr. Smith designed a chest wall prosthesis made of fracture pins. The infant's scoliosis decreased and the child was weaned from the ventilator.
While the chest wall prosthesis worked better than expected, a new dilemma was faced as the doctors realized that the implant would not grow as the child grew. To solve this dilemma, Dr. Campbell designed the first titanium rib implant as a custom prosthesis. The fracture pins were replaced with two titanium ribs at the Children's Hospital of San Antonio as a historical first in 1989. After a 14-year FDA study, the titanium rib, also known as "VEPTR" (Vertical Expandable Prosthetic Titanium Rib) was approved by the FDA in 2004 as a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) and is now approved worldwide.
Founded in 2004, the Titanium Rib Foundation was established to assist children with skeletal abnormalities, many of whom require surgery two or more times per year, and their families in their time of need. The Titanium Rib Foundation is a nonprofit 501c (3) organization that is also called to realize the full potential for independence, productivity and inclusion in the community for these children.
In honor of Dr. Campbell's and Dr. Smith's tireless efforts in support of children with rare spine and chest wall disorders, the Titanium Rib Foundation is sponsoring the 25th Anniversary Titanium Rib Gala. The gala will be held at the Briscoe Western Art Museum at 6:00pm on Friday, August 16, 2013 in San Antonio, Texas. Honorees are Dr. Robert Campbell, Lori Buegeler, RN, Children's Hospital of San Antonio and Dr. Melvin Smith, posthumously recognized.
For more information, please contact the Titanium Rib Foundation office at 1-800-963-8179 ext. 3 to speak with Jennifer Ramirez-Jasiczek or via e-mail at email@example.com.
The Titanium Rib Foundation is a designated non-profit organization with 501c3 status granted by the IRS. TRF supports children with VEPTR implants and their families. We annually support over 500 children who struggle to breathe because of their thoracic insufficiency. Children from all across the United States and abroad travel to San Antonio, Texas to undergo surgery twice a year. There are other VEPTR programs around the country and Rib Kids spread throughout the world. We are so grateful for your willingness to donate your money and resources to assist us in providing assistance to families whose children undergo an invasive surgery usually two times a year.

overclocking the fsb with speedfan.
can I use it to go from 533 fsb to 800 fsb? and do I do it by clicking on one of the thins shown on the list?
Re: overclocking the fsb with speedfan.
You might be able to but I STRONGLY suggest you use the BIOS.
Re: overclocking the fsb with speedfan.
I cant use the bios.:(
Re: overclocking the fsb with speedfan.
If you can not set it in bios, speedfan wont do either I belive (as mobo has to support the numbers you wanna feed). If its just a matter of you not being familiar with the bios, I strongly urge you to do the research and read up on what OC actually means and does to the system.
On another note, when you wanna OC, you do it in small steps then stresstest and monitor heat/stability. If it works then you repeat the steps again untill you hit the highest possible and the lower those settings just a bit to be safe.
Also, when you OC, you want to dissable everything that is not needed (com ports, integrated stuff) to offload the chipset, you also want to set memory low at this time so it wont become a factor when you test. Memory you OC/Test later.
It's also wize to do forum and google searches for people with same mobo and look at there results and tips on bios versions and such.
Re: overclocking the fsb with speedfan.
Just replace the 478 with something better
Re: overclocking the fsb with speedfan.
its for untill then. and (a) how much can I get for my 7950. (b) how well does the said card preform agenced a 9600 gt.

I'm easy going and love hanging out with the people I care about. I think family and friends are what makes life enjoyable and entertaining. I grew up with a great family and they are extremely important to me and I hope to meet someone that feels the same way about the people who mean the most to them. I am a teacher and I love it. There's nothing like giving knowledge to a child and watching them run with it. Those "A-ha" moments are priceless. It's a job that has continual surprises, plus the summers off, winter breaks, spring breaks, etc. are all added benefits! Some people struggle with understanding my sarcasm, but hey, it's not for everyone and if you don't get it, too bad. I I'm looking for a girl that can hold her own. Ideally she would be athletic, but still have that feminine side. So if you can play a sport or simply throw a ball, bonus points for you! Being a communicator and having a good sense of humor is crucial. All in all, I just want to find somebody that makes me happy and I do the same for her.

Music is free medicine, I enjoy just about every genre. TV- Archer, HIMYM, Workaholics, Wilfred. Movies- Tommy Boy and Forrest Gump are a couple of my favorites. I own over 700 movies so my list is a little long! Food- Sushi or cheeseburger.
Dodger games! Nothing like going to the ballpark. Adventures. Mountain biking, playing slow-pitch softball, camping, shooting, being with friends and family, working on the house, and relaxing.
I honestly haven't read a book cover to cover in a couple years. Grad school books have taken care of that void for me. I want to read Great Gatsby again before I see the movie. One favorite book is Kisses in the Nederends. Sounds dirty but it's not!

Johnson had 10 carries at halftime, but yielded most of the carries to Deji Karim in the second half. Johnson may have been injured in the third quarter, but reporters didn't make any note of it during the game or immediately after.
The Texans face the Titans in Week 17. With Karim limping off the field in the fourth quarter, it's unclear who will start for the Texans in their season finale.
This will be the first week Johnson gets a shot at being the starter. While he was disappointing after his big game, it was mainly due to his usage, not some lessening of skill. Week 16 should allow Johnson to carry the ball 15-20 times, against a Denver defense that has allowed 15 rushing touchdowns this season. Over the last four games, the Broncos have allowed two backs to run for 90 or more yards, while giving up six touchdowns to the position. The Broncos have also allowed an average of 37.3 receiving yards per game to opposing backs.
Barring some crazy Edwin Baker-style surprise, Johnson should be the starter for the Texans this Sunday. And the matchup is good enough to give him consideration in some formats. But chasing after Johnson and plugging him in just because he's a starter could backfire, especially if the Texans are forced to pass a lot in a catch-up in-game strategy.
Johnson is a nice add, if for no other reason than to block your opponent from grabbing him, but his matchup is risky enough to keep him on the bench in favor of better options.
Johnson -- the most notable of the three -- spelled starter Ben Tate throughout the contest, finishing with four carries for 12 yards and one catch for 3. Karim came in later, when the outcome was already decided, finishing with four carries 21 yards.
Martin, who scored a touchdown on four catches last week, had one catch for 13 yards. He's up to 17 catches for the season.
Johnson has totaled just 23 yards in two games since his breakout performance against the Jaguars in Week 12. The Texans' next game is set for Week 15 against the Colts.
Johnson, who posted a career-high 74 rushing yards Week 12, finished with three carries for 13 yards Sunday. He added one catch for 11 yards.
Martin, who had a costly bobble that led to an interception Week 12, finished with one catch for 27 yards. He was targeted just once.
The Texans have a quick turnaround Week 14, playing at Jacksonville Thursday.
Johnson had a productive first half, rushing for 50 yards on five carries, which included a 29-yard gain on his third carry. Johnson added two catches for 13 yards in the loss.
Johnson had 45 rushing yards on 14 carries in three games coming into Sunday's loss. The Texans are back in action Week 13 vs. New England.
The Texans face the Jaguars at home in Week 12.
The 23-year-old had seven yards on four carries in Week 10 against the Cardinals, and has a decent matchup against the Raiders in Week 11, but Johnson's value is probably capped at "handcuff" level.
He's worth a bench spot, and should be kept out of starting lineups in all but the deepest leagues.
Johnson carried the ball four times for just 7 yards. He finished third on the team in rushing, behind Tate and Case Keenum. Johnson will take on the Raiders Week 11.
Johnson was re-signed last week after the Texans cut him in the preseason. If Foster or Ben Tate (ribs) is unavailable Week 10 at Arizona, Johnson could see substantial carries again.
Johnson, Karim and Graham all practiced Monday, while Foster and Tate sat out. Tate said he thinks he will be able to play Week 9 against the Colts, according to ESPN.
The Browns had signed Johnson off the Green Bay practice squad on Saturday. Ironically, the team plays against the Packers on the road in Week 7.

Posted under Education Politics & Grades and Standards & learning & School Board & School Finance & Suburban Schools & Teachers
Having to write this kind of post makes me feel a little sick to my stomach. Why would some teachers walk out on kids, enough to close down two Jeffco high schools? The headline from a 9News story points to the only two possibilities I can see: AP US History or teacher pay raises.
What… some teachers don't like pay raises? I doubt it. But the plan approved last night by the Jeffco school board gives 99 percent of teachers a boost in take-home pay. For 98 percent of teachers, it's either a 2.43% increase if they earned an effective rating, or a 4.25% increase if they earned a highly effective rating. In fact, many weeks ago, the board agreed to increase the total amount available for employee pay increases — from $11.7 million to $18.2 million!
Is that so terrible? Only 66 less-than-effective teachers are left out of the extra salary, but even they get all of their increased PERA retirement costs covered by district taxpayers. New teacher base salary was raised from $33,616 to $38,000. And in an unusually generous move, teachers on the highest end of the scale ($81,031) get a one-time stipend based on their evaluation rating. Continue Reading »

Heritage Whisky Tasting was fabulous!
What a great way to kick off the holiday season…. a visit to the fireworks at the Tay Basin for the Festival of Lights and then a fabulous Heritage Whisky Tasting at the Perth Manor! This first whisky tasting event hosted by the Friends of Murphys Point and Heritage Mica Days was an opportunity to taste four single malts under the guidance of Brian from Ouidram, an independent whisky ambassador. The food served by the Perth Manor exceeded all expectations and even the most inexperienced connoisseur of whisky came to enjoy the intricacies of the different whiskies. Brian shared a wealth of stories about how Scotch whisky is made and the variations from different parts of Scotland. Local historian Susan Code kept us entertained with stories of the local whisky history – who knew that Perth was a hotbed of whisky distilling back in the 1800s! The band Cratur provided terrific music for us to enjoy throughout the event. And who can forget Perth Town Crier Brent McLaren who started us off with his own flavour of story telling for the evening.
If you missed this event, don't worry. It's happening again on Friday December 12th at the Fall River Restaurant in Maberly. Ouidram will be there with a different set of single malts to taste and enjoy. Advance tickets are required and are available through Tickets Please at www.ticketsplease.ca.

Building on their very successful Heritage Mica Days festival that operates throughout the summer season, the Heritage Whisky Tastings will allow them to continue their cultural and heritage interpretations through the winter. Four single malt whiskies will be presented at each tasting along with stories of the heritage of whisky distilling in the area by local historian Susan Code.
Nov 21st at 7:30 p.m, at the Perth Manor
Dec 12th at 7:30 p.m. at Fall River Restaurant
Tickets are $70 and available at Tickets Please (www.ticketsplease.ca). Additional dates and venues are being planned for 2015.
Heritage Whisky Tastings!
Watch for a new series of events to celebrate the heritage of Tay Valley and Perth – the Whisky Heritage! The good folks at Heritage Mica Days have been working on developing a series of Heritage Whisky Tastings, complete with some fabulous heritage tales, some good music, and of course…whisky tasting with the assistance of an experienced whisky sommelier. DId you know that Perth and Tay Valley were a hotbed of whisky distilling back in the 1800s? We are looking to bring that history to life and provide a fabulous way for you to celebrate with friends new and old. Watch for details at www.heritagemicadays.ca or contact us at 613-267-5340 or firstname.lastname@example.com to be added to a contact list for advance notice,
Here's another family volunteer team. Steph and Izzy Gray donated many hours during the summer of 2014 greeting visitors on the Silver Queen Mine trail and helping with the Junior Mica Miner program. Izzy is our expert Junior Mica Miner as the first person to complete the program! These two also contributed their time at our beach event on Canada Day (distributing Canada Day cake, a very important task) and could be seen helping at the corn roast held at the campfire pit. In addition to helping with Heritage Mica Days, the Geoheritage Tour and so many other program activities, Steph is also the President of the Friends of Murphys Point and has been providing her leadership skills there for many years. Special thanks to Steph and Izzy for your energy and support of Heritage Mica Days!
