Since it opened a couple of weeks ago, the ICT Pop-Up Urban Park has quickly become my favorite lunch spot. I ate there four times last week! On one occasion I even made a new friend (Jimmy Vo, Kan-Grow Hydro Farm, pictured right).
Naturally, I had to share the park with Brian (because I share everything with him). We grabbed Thai House food one night and decided to eat dinner there. It was too chilly, though. We caved and brought our takeout home instead.
Determined to share the magic of the Pop-Up Urban Park with Brian, I dragged him out there again before our Citizen Police Academy session at the Sedgwick County Detention Facility. This time the weather was better. We got to play some ping-pong.
I've been to busy this week to walk over there during lunch. I'm hoping that I'll have some time next week. I'd really like to enjoy the park a bit more before the weather starts getting colder.
If you haven't been to the park yet, I highly recommend it. If you go, holler at me so we can meet up (if I'm free). I may even play a game of ping pong with you.]]>
First up was bowling. So, we kind of cheated a little bit. Rather than spend two hours bowling, we decided to take one lane each for an hour. We asked for adjacent lanes so that we could cross-bowl (league style) which is what we prefer anyway. We completed four games and still had plenty of time to complete all of the other items on the list before closing time. It was brilliant.
For our go kart rides, the attendant allowed us to take the remaining rides in the form of coupons so we didn't have to actually complete all eight rides. Brian and I raced one time. Since it was a slow night and, it was just the two of us, the attendant cranked the go karts up to the top speed. Not being much of a daredevil, one race was enough for me. Each race lasts four minutes so it would have taken a bit longer to complete four races, and we still had to play some billiards. Neither of us really wanted to be there all night so we cheated at the go karts part as well.
We didn't even last an hour when we played billiards. We played a couple of games and we were done. Brian lost both games but he didn't care because he bowled a 252 that night and he was still euphoric from that. Anyway, they signed our cards anyway so we could turn it in at the front desk for the raffle. We didn't quite finish the task but at least we gave it our best effort. And, we had a blast!
As for the remaining go kart tickets, we ended up using them with my little sister Nickira on Thursday night. Nickira said she wanted to eat somewhere she'd never been before so we took her to Cheddar's right by the Alley.
After dinner we raced go karts a couple of times. It was perfect because we had exactly six rides left so the three of us got to race twice. The best part was that we were the only three people there so we had run of the track.
Brian and I had to take turns taking pictures. The first time we went in the following order: Nickira, me, then Brian. Brian was able to pass me but he couldn't pass Nickira.
The second time it was Nickira, then Brian, then me. I was able to pass Brian but, again, I couldn't pass Nickira. Who knew that my little sister was such an expert go kart driver? She knew exactly what to do to keep us from passing her.
Anyway, I can't believe that school is several weeks in and Nickira still doesn't have any homework. I'm beginning to wonder about her teacher. LOL. Kidding aside, I'm glad we got to do something fun last week because I have a YMCA dinner this week and won't be able to get Kira this Thursday. We'll just have to make up for it next week. I'm hoping that we will have some homework to do by then!]]>
We've been in it a few weeks now and, for a program that costs absolutely nothing, it's a super awesome experience. Brian and I are learning so much about local law enforcement. All of the speakers and presenters from both the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office and WPD have been very informative and accommodating. We have an inquisitive class and we always have lots of questions, which they answer patiently.
The topics we will cover during the 13 weeks of CPA include:
I can tell you that I'm not looking forward to that last item on the list, which we are actually doing next week. I hope they don't force me to eat the jail food. I got to try it last year when my Leadership Wichita class spent the morning part of our session at the detention facility. Lunch was really memorable that day because we got to have lunch with some of the trustees and the food was terrible. Immediately after that experience I made a comment to Brian that fewer crimes would be committed if people only knew how horrible jail food is. I can't wait for Brian to try it.
Our favorite session so far has been our session at the Wichita/Sedgwick County Law Enforcement Firearms Training Facility. I took lots of pictures that night because I didn't feel like I got to take enough pictures when my Leadership Wichita class went through last year. I made up for it this time.
Obligatory firing range photo.
The facility was established in 1995. Incidentally, that is the same year that my family moved to the Wichita area.
Here are some more pictures from our tour of the facility.
Here's Brian's "shoot or no shoot" scenario.
We all thought it was over but then the guy actually pops back up out of nowhere. I really thought Brian got him and he was dead. He wouldn't stay down, though. At least Brian got him in the head.
This is our friend Bill's scenario.
Brian gearing up.
Brian and KSN's Denise getting ready for their simunition exercise scenario.
Here they go!
A few others in class volunteered. Here's another scenario along with the debriefing.
Last set.
The debriefing was actually really educational. Even though I didn't volunteer I learned a lot from watching the participants, how they reacted during the simulation, and the discussion that followed afterward.
Brian got interviewed by KSN at the end of our session. I hope that he told them what a great experience this has been so far and how grateful he is that I talked him into signing up. LOL. Seriously. He didn't want to do it at first. I really had to sell him on the idea. It was the "shoot or no shoot" exercise that really sealed the deal for him. That night was his most awaited night of CPA training. I'm glad that he got to participate in all of it. I'm also glad that I'm sharing this whole experience with him.
Couples who learn and grow together, stay together!]]>
We couldn't do everything so we had to pick three activities. One of these that made the cut was the Wichita Wagonmasters Downtown Chili Cook-off. My friend Bill is a Wagonmaster so I had to stop by and see him.
We arrived toward the end of the event because I had to shower and change after my Zumba class, and I had to start on our laundry. We weren't exactly speedy. There were still plenty of people milling about when we got there. We even ran into my friend Darcy. However, there were several tents that were already out of chili and packing up.
Our next stop was the Wichita Art Museum's Art Garden grand opening event.
It was a beautiful day to be out and about. We had the perfect weather!
While at the Art Garden grand opening, we had to stop by and say hello to my friend Teresa. Yes, I have cool friends who do cool stuff in the community.
I really wish we could have hung around because there were lots of cool things going on at the Art Garden grand opening event.
Alas, we had to skedaddle to our next stop: OJ Watson Park. I'd never been there so when we were invited to the Kansas DUI Impact Center volunteer appreciation picnic I accepted. I figured that I'd meet some Impact Center folks and also check out the park.
Brian grew up on the South side of town and had frequented the park as a child. He said the park hadn't really changed. It was pretty much the same as when he was young. It was all new and exciting for me, though. I enjoyed pedal boating and was grateful that we didn't fall in the dirty, murky water.
The 7th Annual Haus of Brews was our final stop for the evening. I wanted to get there early but we had to stop by the house to take care of Molly. Then Brian ended up falling asleep on the couch so I had to wake him up. LOL.
I'm really grateful to our friends and coworkers who came out to support the event.
I heard that attendance was down compared to last year. However, I know of at least three people are interested in joining Rotary as a result so I think that's a win.
Misty is looking into joining the Old Town Wichita Rotary Club because the meeting location and time works better for her. I told her I'd go with her to check out the club. We're going next week.
My friend Jill from Adventurous Babes Society is interested in the Andover Rotary Club so I've invited her to our next meeting.
Overall it was a fantastic Saturday. The only thing that could have made it better was if we were able to hit all of the happenings in Wichita!]]>
Brian and I had a blast creating this date jar for our friends Christina and Jake. Yes! Believe it or not, he actually helped me!
As you know Brian is the more creative half. He was a huge help in coming up with date ideas to write in the popsicle sticks. However, his biggest contribution was keeping me from including "joyride" in the jar. Apparently, my idea of "joyride" is not the same as the general population. LOL.
Congrats and best wishes to Christina and Jake!]]>
Brian made a taco bar for us for lunch last Saturday. It was delicious! Naturally, I ate too much. After lunch we ended up playing Skip Bo. She didn't let us win. Not even once!
Speaking of games, I got to play some games with my colleagues last week after our work dinner. We had a plethora of games to choose from but we ended up playing the old standby, Catchphrase. It was a blast. I'm extremely grateful to our boss man for letting us host game night and to all the peeps who stayed to play.
Then earlier this week we ate at the Hill for the first time since the fiasco with the front bumper happened. We really like their food so we couldn't stay away for very long. We met our friend Tracy there for dinner on Monday night when she was in town.
Check out Brian's enormous burger.
Here he is trying to eat it.
One word: WOW.
Tracy had an enormous burger also.
I tried to be good and just had crab cakes. Although, I wasn't completely good. I had a bunch of the chicharon we ordered while trying to decide what to have for dinner.
Fun times!]]>
I feel like I have to explain this picture because it's not something that you see normally. Christina and Jake opted for a dramatic and unconventional entrance where they walk down the aisle together.
It was a beautiful ceremony. I'm glad they didn't start on time because Brian and I were cutting it kind of close. Melissa was even surprised that she and Todd beat us to the wedding when they're notorious for being late. In my defense, I thought the wedding was at 6 PM whereas Christina put a reminder on Missy's phone and had the wedding time listed as 5 PM. LOL. It actually worked!
Anyway Brian and I were both grateful that our friends arrived early and saved us a couple of seats. We were also grateful for the late start because we didn't want to miss Christina and Jake gazing into each other's eyes as they spoke their vows.
Here's a picture of the newlyweds as they made their exit.
Our awesome group of friends.
Huge thanks to these guys for saving us seats!
Meader and Hideki clean up really well. I was really disappointed that Brian refused to wear a suit. He said he'd been wearing suits all week and wanted a break. We were running late so I didn't have time to persuade him otherwise.
Brian and I couldn't resist taking a wedding reception selfie.
A photo of the bride and groom at the reception.
Here's a photo of our friends Holly and Meader.
We took a regular photo and a fun one.
Missy and Todd.
Me and Brian again. My arm looks weird because we were trying to fake a selfie.
Jake and Missy.
Todd and Hideki.
Brian, Carla, Holly, and Meader.
Holly and I wanted a photo of us with our matching Stella & Dot necklaces.
This was one of my favorite parts of the reception — the newlywed game played using shoes! I thought it was really clever and a lot of fun.
Christina and Jake also had a special photo booth at the wedding where you could created flip books like this one…
And this one…
Here's a video of Jake and Hideki doing a little dance off…
And Jake and Missy shaking it off…
What a great wedding and reception! Congratulations to our friends Christina and Jake. Thank you so much for allowing us to witness your union, sharing your special day, and letting us celebrate with you.]]>
Donating my copy of The Little Prince to the United Way reading campaign made me realize that I ought to give a copy to my little sister Nickira. So I did. We took turns reading passages to each other until she fell asleep. Not quite the reaction I was hoping for. LOL. Here's a cute picture of her and Molly…
Other presents we gave away this week are baby shower gifts for a coworker and a couple of friends who are having babies and a wedding present for our friends Jake and Christina. Come back tomorrow for pictures from their wedding last Saturday at Exploration Place. It was a blast!]]>
Zoobilee was a lot of fun this year. Except for the first part of the event when I had a massive headache. I would have skipped it altogether except we actually paid for tickets. For the first time ever, in our seven year history of attending.
Brian was drinking Stellas all night and had a great time.
We ran into several people, including Jeff (above). We also knew of others who were there but we didn't ever run into them. It's no surprise, though. Thousands of people attend every year.
Local restaurateur Steve Bacci of Gianni Bacci and Taste & See
Brenda and BJ
Me with Shanda and Nykole
I managed a smile for this photo, despite my massive headache.
This is my gregarious and extremely outgoing Leadership Wichita friend, Bill Ramsey, also known as The Bill Guy.
There were so many people at the event that we didn't run into the Phelpi and the Dills until almost nine o'clock. The only reason that we knew Dills were at the zoo was because we saw their names on the Sveta's chair massage sign up sheet.
Thank heavens for that chair massage. It helped my headache go away.
Brian and Kristen at the private YPW area
Jay and Becca
Our crazy, loud bunch
Me with my friend Andrea
I'm glad I toughed it out because I did actually start to feel better and my headache went away later in the evening. I wish it would have happened sooner, before all the food was gone, though. I hardly drank or ate anything because I didn't want to overdo it. By the time I was ready to cut loose, most of the vendors were gone.
On the bright side, Brian and I once again got really good deals from the silent auction. We got one year of pest control treatments every 60 days for $190, which I thought was a good deal. I also got a gift card for a haircut and some Aveda products for just $65. I love silent auctions! We have a few more fundraising events coming up later this year. We're both looking forward to seeing what bargains can be had in the silent auctions.
BTW, if you are bummed about missing Zoobilee, fear not. There's another fun eating and drinking fundraising event next weekend on September 26 — Haus of Brews. Click on the link to purchase tickets. Proceeds go to a great cause. We'd love to see you there!]]>
Here's what our participation looks like just a week into the campaign. Amazing!
At my part time side-gig for the Greater Wichita YMCA we have pledge drives for both United Way and the YMCA annual campaign. Since I'm donating to the United Way through my primary job, I didn't pledge anything on my YMCA paycheck but I'll be donating almost all of my classes back to the YMCA through the YMCA annual campaign.
Here's my friend Teresa installing a computer at La Familia Senior and Community Center. We met Dr. Carla Lee, Executive Director of La Familia, last year during our Leadership Wichita community service project. She told our team that she needed help with technology and wanted some computers that work. They had several computers at the center but they weren't connected. Last week my teammates Teresa, Jason, and I installed computers that were donated by High Touch (Jason's employer). We spent Wednesday afternoon connecting all of the computer terminals. Jason even got on a ladder and fixed network cable through the ceiling tiles.
High Touch donated CPUs, keyboards, mice, and cables and then we just salvaged the existing monitors that the center already had. The monitors weren't pretty but they worked just fine.
On Thursday morning several colleagues and I attended the United Way campaign kickoff at Century II. The theme this year is "Readers Become Leaders" and we created about 400 reading kits during the kickoff event.
It's amazing considering we assembled the reading kits in just 10 minutes.
Some of the books that went into our boxes were previously donated and were already at our table but all of the event attendees were encouraged to bring a copy of their favorite children's book or books. I didn't get the invitation to attend until the day before so I didn't have a chance to go to the store to buy books. I had to give up a copy of my favorite children's book which I grabbed from the bookshelf in the office.
I was bummed that I had to give up my copy but also felt good that I was donating it to a great cause. I ended up ordering a few more copies of The Little Prince on Amazon. This isn't the first time that I gave a copy of it away and it probably won't be the last so I thought I better stock up. One of the copies is earmarked for my little sister. The two books I've gotten her for her birthdays have been Dork Diaries books, her favorite series. I'm thinking it's probably time that I got her a copy of one of my favorites. It's funny that it took the United Way campaign kickoff to make me think of it. I should have thought of giving her a copy sooner.
Anyway, that pretty much sums up my busy and rewarding week. This week is more of the same — lots of work with volunteering and donating and fundraising sprinkled in.]]>

We all know that most photos of models are photoshopped. From taking in that bit of thigh or arm "fat" to taking off every "blemish" from freckles to zits, photoshopping is a widespread practice for those in the marketing business. After all, we wouldn't want makeup to be shown on a face with a zit, or bras and swimsuits to be modeled on someone with real-sized body parts, now would we?
Actually, lots of people would want that, both because it would be better to see clothes on someone your size before purchasing them from a catalogue or internet site, but also because it would help our body image tremendously. Sure, most people logically know that images are photoshopped, but that knowledge doesn't necessarily help when it comes to body image. According to the Miss Representation Campaign, 3 out of 4 girls report feeling depressed, guilty and shameful after spending just three minutes looking through a fashion magazine. Eating disorders are still on the rise in America and in other countries, as well. And just think about the relief we all felt when we finally saw some real women posing without photoshop just a few years ago.
Thankfully, Debenhams, a department store in the UK that has used disabled, older and plus sized models in their marketing campaigns in the past, is taking action. They have banned the use of photoshop on pictures of their lingerie models. According to Ms. Magazine:
Debenhams hopes that other retail brands will follow suit, recognizing an ethical duty to promote realistic images but also acknowledging the economic benefits of reducing the use of digital image editing. In the wake of the whole Abercrombie & Fitch debacle, it may be worth trying to spread the message across the pond to U.S. brands as well.
Perhaps it is not surprising that this initiative is coming out of the UK considering that, in 2010, equalities minister Lynne Featherstone tried to ban retouching and the use of underweight models. In 2009, a member of the French parliament proposed that images that had been retouched would have to contain a warning label stating they had been altered. Not much came of these discussions, but there is a need for them to continue; and, as Debenhams shows, there is a need for direct action.
With all of the conversations going on across the world, why hasn't America caught up? We, in the land of the fad diets and the home of the size 000 (I wish I was kidding), have a definite need to discuss photoshopping and the damaging effects it has on our youth. In 2011, the American Medical Association denounced the use of photoshopping in American media and followed France's lead in asking for digitally manipulated photos to carry warning labels, which was a step in the right direction, but not much came of it. So what has happened since then? Unfortunately, not much.
In a perfect world, all companies would feel a moral obligation to follow Debenhams' lead and stop the retouching of models. However, we can't trust that companies will follow their lead. There needs to be some kind of legislation banning the use of digital retouching, and it needs to happen fast, before we lose anyone else to an eating disorder.

Yes, I think people should stop using photoshopped images everywhere. It's nice it see images that are not photoshopped and people that have 'flaws'.
Finally! I hope the US will follow suit!
This is great to hear - hopefully more will follow their lead.
Good to hear, stores should do this
Good old Debs!I think M and S uses people like Twiggy but I am sure they don't photoshop either.~what's the point if most people don't look like that!~disappointment looms!If more people were comfortable with how they looked we would all be happier!

The Brits use more "real" people in television and movies as well. The star can actually be a regular woman or male...one that wouldn't pass the Hollywood Hunk Test. And usually, these shows are much more interesting and the writing is far far superior to much of what we see here.
I love good news and I love the Brits! Although they have their problems (like all of us) they usually handle them with grace. For a boost of love, hope and humour their t.v. is the best.
Hurray for Debenhams!

UK: SABMiller aims at Miller Lite resurrection in US
By just-drinks.com editorial team | 30 May 2007
SABMiller's North American unit is targeting a turnaround of its Miller Lite brand in the region.
Speaking at an investor conference in London today (30 May), Tom Long, president and CEO of Miller Brewing, said that the unit will emphasise what he calls Miller Lite's "better beer" platform.
"For us to fight back in 2007, to turn around the results we had from 2006, we've really got to, first and foremost, return Miller Lite to growth," Long said. "It's our flagship brand. Most of our economic value added comes out of that brand.
"We've got to make plain and clear to consumers that they're just a little bit smarter than the average guy, by drinking a better beer. Better because it has more taste, better because of more colour, better because of half the carbs and a third fewer calories than Bud Light, and many of the new, imported light beer substitutes."
The unit is also lining up the introduction of SABMiller's Chinese beer, Snow, into its market to tap into the growing Chinese contingency in the US.
Earlier this month, SABMiller admitted that the North America region had had a difficult year in the 12 months to the end of March. EBITA in the region slid by 17% in the year to US$376m as higher commodity costs, declining Miller Lite volume and price competition in the economy segment hit the bottom line.

Bat for Lashes Streams Debut Sexwitch Album

Bat for Lashes' Natasha Khan has a new project called Sexwitch. Today, having shared "Helelyos" and "Ha Howa Ha Howa" in recent weeks, she's streaming the project's self-titled debut album in full via the Guardian. Listen below.
Bat for Lashes Shares New Sexwitch Track "Ha Howa Ha Howa"

"Again, these were perfect for a nine year old's "Lego Birthday Party"....I used a photo of him in his Lego costume from last Halloween!"
"Not only did I love the invitations for my son's first birthday party, but the customer service was FANTASTIC. I was personally called by Tiny Prints concerning the placement of my photo (the "ONE" was so big it covered my son's chin in the picture), and the employee created an alternative version for me to view with smaller lettering so that my son's chin was not covered. ALSO, the invitations arrived extremely fast and are beautiful!!"
"Great Card. Some were sent to me and the rest mailed direct to my invitees. Those that came to me were a week earlier than those to the invite list. I used this feature to save time and it took almost a week longer."
"This card work perfectly for my baby's 1st birthday and went well with the theme - The Masters. The colors just pop out and you can get playful with the photos you add. It had the right amount of colors, contrast and creativeness. The real product surprised me by how great it turned out."
"There were multiple color options for customization, it featured a unique design and the invitations were delivered quickly."

Literature: Wild Cards The Hard Call
Author Daniel Abraham penned a 2008 six-issue Wild Cards comics limited series, published by Dabel Brothers Productions. The first issue of the series was issued simultaneously with two variant covers, and the sixth and final issue was later published by Dynamic Comics. Dynamic then collected the miniseries as a single hardcover graphic novel in early 2011; this second series was called George R.R. Martin's Wild Cards: The Hard Call.It is an original story and not an adaptation of any of the short stories.
This story contains the following tropes:
- Broken Ace: A literal case with the Sleeper.
- Cursed with Awesome: Deconstructed. Alex has superpowers but they came at the cost of his brother's life and the life of almost everyone else at his school.
- Fantastic Racism: Only a minor feature of this story.
- Foreshadowing: Kira's act of sprouting wings indicates she was becoming a butterfly.
- Fridge Horror: How exactly would Kira and Alex become intimate?
- Jumped Off The Slippery Slope: Fallon.
- Knight Templar: Fallon.
- Lost Aesop: The story is about Jokers and whether it's worth it to transform back into a human being with the sometimes lethal Trump virus. What it's trying to say about beauty, society, and medical risks is unclear.
- Redemption Equals Death: Simon.
- Sociopathic Hero: Simon.
- The Sleeper himself, to a lesser extent.

IT Program Manager
The IT program manager oversees a team of information systems professionals who are engaged in various projects. Program managers differ from project managers in that their roles are broader in scope. While a project manager focuses on a particular initiative, for example, the program manager manages a range of initiatives to achieve a particular organizational outcome. The program manager's role requires a degree of technical knowledge, but emphasizes business management skill.
A bachelor's degree in management information systems or computer science offers a starting point on the road to a career as an IT program manager. An MBA degree in information technology management is generally required to advance into a management role. Program managers can expect increasing demand for their combined business and technical acumen. The Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts "excellent" job prospects for information systems managers, with 17 percent growth in the 2008-2018 period.

London - England bowler Stuart Broad believes his international team-mates are ready to end their rift with Kevin Pietersen after agreeing to peace talks with the controversial batsman.
Pietersen was sent into exile during the Test series against South Africa after sending provocative text messages to the opposition that contained criticism of then England captain Andrew Strauss.
The 32-year-old was dropped for the final Test and has since been left out of the one-day series against South Africa and then World Twenty20 tournament in Sri Lanka, while Strauss retired from all forms of cricket during the controversy.
But Pietersen has now apologised for his behaviour and recently signed a new central contract with England after agreeing to enter a "re-integration" process.
The next step in bringing Pietersen in from the cold will be a meeting with his England team-mates and coach Andy Flower.
Flower and several of England senior stars were believed to be furious with Pietersen's actions in recent months, but there has been a softening of that attitude and Broad is hopeful the talks will aid the Surrey batsman's return in time for the forthcoming tours to India and New Zealand.
"It's in the management's hands. Of course (we'd welcome him back). We've had some amazing success with KP as a team," Broad told the BBC on Tuesday.
"I've been in the side six years, we've won two Ashes series and a Twenty20 World Cup, and we know that KP is a really dangerous player for us.
"There's not a better man in charge than Andy Flower to put the situation right and there's a lot of trust in him at the moment.
"Whether it's for (the tour of) India or New Zealand, the team will welcome him back.
"We pride ourselves on being an honest changing room and the only way to move forward is to talk about things.
"There will be a meeting with some of the hierarchy and we just need to lay some things out.
"I think that will be a really good meeting with most of the England players, and hopefully we can move forward and draw a line under the whole experience."

Interview with Teresa & Ben on WUSB
Interview with Jaja Martin – Author, Mother, High Latitude Voyager!
I met Jaja and Dave Martin this summer and was very excited to learn of their world travels aboard a small sailboat. The Martins are unique cruisers in that they not only sailed away from the "destination" places in the Caribbean, and toward the cold arctic, but they also did so with three young children. […]

About The Author
Sailing, Simplicity, and the Pursuit of Happiness, began in 2008 when Teresa gave up a job, home, many things, and a whole lot of stability for the unstable plan to chase her dreams. In the following two years she lived aboard a small 27 foot sailboat named Daphne with only her cat Dory for company. Its not a house, but it was home, its not a car, but she traveled a blue road. For two years she sailed, explored, and discovered what simple living meant to her and shared it all on this blog. Writing helped her. Blog readers inspired her. Now, as she plans for her next big voyage, Sailing, Simplicity, and the Pursuit of Happiness must give back to the readers. Our goal is to share meaningful thoughts on simple living, to help sailors with life aboard, and to inspire others to chase their own creative dream through honest and uplifting writing.

Conduction in ulnar nerve bundles that innervate the proximal and distal muscles: a clinical trial
1 Pamukkale University, School of Medicine, Department of Neurology, Araştırma Hastanesi, Kınıklı-Denizli, Turkey
2 Devlet Hastanesi, Siirt, Turkey
3 Asker Hastanesi, Eskişehir, Turkey
BMC Neurology 2010, 10:81 doi:10.1186/1471-2377-10-81Published: 13 September 2010
This study aims to investigate and compare the conduction parameters of nerve bundles in the ulnar nerve that innervates the forearm muscles and hand muscles; routine electromyography study merely evaluates the nerve segment of distal (hand) muscles.
An electrophysiological evaluation, consisting of velocities, amplitudes, and durations of ulnar nerve bundles to 2 forearm muscles and the hypothenar muscles was performed on the same humeral segment.
The velocities and durations of the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) of the ulnar nerve bundle to the proximal muscles were greater than to distal muscles, but the amplitudes were smaller.
Bundles in the ulnar nerve of proximal muscles have larger neuronal bodies and thicker nerve fibers than those in the same nerve in distal muscles, and their conduction velocities are higher. The CMAPs of proximal muscles also have smaller amplitudes and greater durations. These findings can be attributed to the desynchronization that is caused by a wider range of distribution in nerve fiber diameters.
Conduction parameters of nerve fibers with different diameters in the same peripheral nerve can be estimated.

How To - Add A Slideshow to your site or Topic Last Updated on 2013-07-23 16:14:46 A slideshow differs from a Photo Gallery in that is can only use images with a url, it can be associated only at the site or topic level, it can have an internal caption and it can have a link attached to the image directly through the creation process. As the slides are web based, the image size comes from the site where they originated and the slideshow software attempts to fit any image into the slideshow, regardless of actual size or orientation. For this reason landscape images work better that an image with a portrait orientation. To fill the space for a slideshow image area, the ideal image should be about 735x330 pixels. The steps to create a Slideshow left 1. Click on the "Options" icon at the upper of the page and select "Manage Site" 2. Click on "Graphics and Tools" and then "Slide Shows 3.

Some 18 months ago, I was sitting with Lori and Richie in Faqra listening to them talk about a new project they were thinking of starting up. If I remember correctly, the idea was a chill place for snowboarders and skiers to rest their aching feet after a day on the slopes, have a drink, listen to some music and barbecue some burgers. The outcome, was sorta like that, but vastly more awesome.
Ollie Daze. It's in the name, "Ollie" the skateboarding trick, and "Daze" as in how you feel after a couple of drinks in nature with friends. Together, they sorta sound like "Holidays" and thus, Ollie Daze.
Ollie Daze organizes public and private events in venues that are often public spaces high up in the mountains or on out-of-the-way beaches on the shore. Their events also always have a twist. For example, when they held a snowboarding event a few months ago, instead of hitting the slopes, they found two war-torn abandoned villas in Qanat Bekish, tied a bungee rope on their balconies and jumped off the buildings into the snow. Add food, drinks and music, and you get quite the exceptionally fun day on the snow.
The next event was at a beach on the Batroun shore, in a truly breathtaking spot. Just take a look:
Another intimate beach event was held in Tabarja, and their biggest event to date was the huge blob event (Aqua Park) in Laqlooq, in a lake surrounded by trees and amazing views of the nearby mountains and valleys.
Unpleasant weather didn't dampen the mood, and although no blob jumps took place on Saturday, Sunday was business as usual and super fun. Check out the video on their page.
It was so good, that the Ollie Daze Aqua Park happening again this weekend, same spot, bigger awesome crowd and equally beautiful music. And if you don't wanna jump off a crane into the blob in the pond, there are plenty of less extreme games like a slip and slide and plenty of inflatables. Or you could just chill by the pond or around your tents or the DJ booth (Wrangler).
RSVP here, and see you all thereeeeeeee

powered by AFI
According to Hollywood Reporter news items, portions of this film were shot on location in Laguna Beach and Baldwin Lake, CA. Actors Maria Montez, Jon Hall and Sabu had previously appeared together in Universal's highly successful 1942 release Arabian Nights (see entry above) and 1943's White Savage . Hollywood Reporter production charts include Elisabeth Risdon in the cast, but her appearence in the released film has not been confirmed. Modern sources state that the absurdity of the plot of Cobra Woman was a source of creative inspiration for such diverse individuals as theatrical producer Charles Ludlam of the Ridiculous Theatrical Company and novelist Gore Vidal.

Thanks for helping!
We only had a main course but it was really good and good value too. We had the chicken and fish dishes and I asked for salad instead of chips with my fish and it came with a lovely big salad.
This was my first dinner in Belfast. It's close to where I am staying, so convenience was a factor. The location is in a nice, quiet part of town near Queens University.
The ambience is nice and relaxed. It's a pretty quiet place, especially for a Saturday night. The eclectic decor is nice, but I imagine it gets quite dark...
Bought a Groupon deal for this establishment and used it yesterday. The offer was for 2 sirloin steaks with all the trimmings and a bottle of house wine. Restaurant is fairly nice, located in the leafy suburbs of Botantic. They've invested enough money in the furnishings and decor, etc.
The meal arrived and all was fine. That is, everything bar...
Excellent deal here for two course dinner for two with bottle of wine for £29.99. Food was excellent and service was friendly and efficient.
Went for lunch for my daughter's graduation was given menu which had a very limited choice-mainly steak/turkey and ham but all we wanted was some burgers and chips.Asked the waitress if there was any other options as we didnt want large dinner meals as it was lunch time. She said no other menu was available. We then waited a long...
Staff were attentive. Food was well cooked, portions were good as was presentation. Wine list was small but there was a sufficient range. Prices were reasonable. We were there on a Friday evening and there was a singer/guitar player who added to the atmosphere.
We had had a big day travelling and decided that we were too tired to go out so we would try the hotel restaurant. Turned out to be a very good idea as the food and service were very good. The decor was a little dated but everything else was great.
The staff were wonderful. What started as just a stop for drinks ended up as dinner. Good sized portions and good flavor.
The restaurant can look a bit dark but it's also cosy the menu has plenty of choice and has a special every night at a set price not over priced we never had a disappointing meal. The staff were friendly and cheerful Would recommend a visit
Absolutely appalling. Terrible service. Horrible staff and horrendous atmosphere. Do not waste your time and money going here. The food was also very poor and far too expensive for what you're paying for!

They are also outsourcing Lcos manufacturing to three other companies.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
sbaccus2003, where did you get this info from?
From different articles that I had translated from Chinese to English. I kept coming cross through my search about himax being involved in a park. I originally thought they were sponsoring a park being built in Taiwan since they do sponsor cultural events in Taiwan but the article I posted this morning and a few articles that I have finally made sense. Himx is expanding Chinese industrial park for Lcos not sponsoring a park in Taiwan. I swear if I hold Himx for another 8 months I'll be able to read Chinese.lol
Sentiment: Strong Buy
did this conformation come from president obama or one of his reps..you have no shame..
Hmmmm...lol...If this is true... Next headline should read....Google takes additional stake in Himax for expansion efforts.
Where/how did you get confirmation of this?
thanks sba
Sentiment: Strong Buy
If you believe all BS sbacchus2003 writes, yoi believe in Santa Claus, lol
better put down the crack pipe tard
Confirmation from whom?
By nobody, all BS, this person is a freak, and a paid pumper, don't you know by now?
This is why Numora was talking about cashflow.they spent a good chunk of change for the build out!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Sbac, I doubt they used their cash for expansion efforts, especially for LCOS.
If that was the case, then why have Google invest? That investment should more than adequately take care of the ramp up. As it stands, Google is wanting roughly up to 25MM LCOS modules by next year, with HIMX capacity currently at only 3MM. The funds provided to HIMX should have adequately funded the extra capacity going into the next year, at least. The additional investment from Google, up to 14%, presumably is for additional capacity if and when the consumer version of Glass takes off.
But taking this further: if HIMX is using its own cash to further expand LCOS capacity, then it foretells of other product wins from other customers that are forcing them to do this (like orders from MS, for example). For the next conf call, HIMX needs to provide guidance on the Cap budget for the next 2 years as well as ASP of these modules. I'll be interested to hear what they are doing with the additional non-driver product lines and how many design/product wins they've been able to pull in.
Sentiment: Buy
Now I know you are crazy.
Your shrink gave you that information, or the noises in your head.

APP OF THE DAY: Soccer iCon Pro review (iPad / iPhone)
Among many of the benefits derived from the Pocket-lint team appearing on The Apprentice last night is the fact that, as our App of the Day section was featured so prominently, we've not been short of an app suggestion or thousand since. And while we trawl our way through all of them, one or two have immediately stood out for swift inclusion,
For example, with the FA Cup Final between Man City and Stoke being held this Saturday, it's good timing to send us a football app. It also helps if it's as interesting and different as this one...
Soccer iCon Pro
- Format
- iPad 2 / iPad / iPhone / iPod touch
- Price
- £1.79p
- Where
- iTunes (iPad 2 / iPad), iTunes (iPhone / iPod touch)
Soccer iCon Pro is not like your average football game. In fact, you never even get to kick a ball, in anger or otherwise.
Instead, this simulation game puts you in charge of a young footballer who you must guide from park footy all the way up to the professional leagues and ultimately European and International glory, accumulating as much wealth, such as 20 bedroom mansions, along the way.
Indeed, the developer, Stas Sports, told us that it "is basically a football tamagotchi", and while it's far more complex - and entertaining - than that, it does hint at the core gameplay.
Your footballer has different statistics which can be manipulated up (and down) by performing certain actions, such as train, eat, sleep, etc. And every so often there's a goal (pardon the pun) to meet. You start out on the streets, literally, and first up will be offered a chance to take part in a kick around in the park. Then, if your stats are good enough, a place in a five-a-side team. And so on and so forth.
However, it's not as simple as training to improve your statistics and resting to gain more energy to train again. As a time management game, there are only so many hours in the day, and each action you perform sucks away at them. Plus, a social and romantic life must be balanced in order to keep your dinky avatar happy. Very soon you realise that things can be hard to juggle, and you'll find that you'll be starting again, maybe even before making it as a pro.
In addition, with each stage of your career, the amount of things you have to keep an eye on increase, with managers and agents becoming part of the fun, and with greater demands your player's skills. It's not an easy game by any stretch of the imagination, but it is incredibly addictive.
We'd even put its addictiveness on a par with Game Dev Story as, like with that title, you'll have to restart several times before you find the correct balance between all the different actions.
Incidentally, there are minor aesthetic differences between the iPad (tested here) and iPhone versions, but that's just in the way the screens are laid out - they play identically. But it is worth noting that the free Soccer iCon, which can also be found on the App Store, is a cut down version of Soccer iCon Pro, although you can subsequently upgrade it to the paid version via an in-app purchase if you like it.
And we're confident that you will.
Do you have an app you'd like us to look at, or would recommend downloading, let us know via our feedback form.
