The Singer's Breath: Implications for Treatment of Persons with Emphysema
Engen, Rebecca L., Journal of Music Therapy
This study investigated the effects of group singing instruction on the physical health and general wellness of senior citizens with emphysema. Subjects (n = 7) participated in 6 weeks of group vocal instruction, which emphasized breath management techniques. Dependent measures reflected physical health, functional outcomes, and quality of life. No significant differences were found on measures of physical health (FEV^sub 1^, inspiratory threshold, distance walked, and The DUKE physical health subscale). Measures of functional outcomes each showed a significant change across time. Results of the ANOVAs for breath management (extent of counting) and breath support (intensity of speech) were significant (p < .038 & p < .000 respectively). Descriptive analyses showed a clear and dramatic shift in breathing mode from clavicular to diaphragmatic breathing that was maintained 2 weeks after the treatment period. Quality of life measures (subjective scales and The Duke Health Profile,) yielded mixed results. Findings of this study suggest that vocal instruction, inclusive of breathing exercises, may help to improve the quality of life for senior citizens with emphysema. Subjects in this study responded positively to the instruction and further investigation of the treatment method is warranted.
The occurrence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is on the rise in the United States. This degenerative disease, currently affecting over 13.5 million Americans, is the fourth leading cause of death in America (Swyberius, 2001; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1999). As recently as 1993, the National Institutes of Health (NIH, 1993) listed COPD as the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. The economic impact of this disease is enormous when considering lost workdays and decreased productivity, visits to the doctor, hospitalization, prescriptions, oxygen, and home health assistance (Ahlheit, 1995; Craig, 1988; Higgins, 1984; NIH, 1993). Economic issues are not the only concern; emotional costs are also considerable. Persons with emphysema (a type of COPD) typically experience social withdrawal, anxiety, and fear related to breathing difficulties, and perhaps most significantly, loss of control and feelings of helplessness (Connelly, 2001). Powers (1997) states,
The experience of chronic illness is unique to the individual and not limited to the pathophysiology of the disease. While disease may be the problem from the health care provider's perspective, the issue for older adults with various incurable conditions is how to live with and respond to symptoms and disabilities, (p. 136)
Emphysema is one of two types of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Chronic bronchitis is the other form. While emphysema certainly presents a serious medical problem, the nature of the disability is often primarily functional rather than medical. By nature, emphysema poses daily limits on activity and is a chronic problem; chronic bronchitis more often results in acute attacks. Because of these differences in symptom presentation, this study limited itself to persons with a physician's diagnosis of emphysema or COPD, probable emphysema.
In most cases, smoking is the most important risk factor for developing COPD. Since only 15% to 20% of smokers develop the disease, other risk factors such as age, repeated environmental exposure to smoke or pollution, frequent respiratory infections in childhood, low socioeconomic living conditions, and other yet unknown factors also contribute to its development (Hercules, Lckwart, & Fcnton, 1979; Higgins, 1984; Hong & Ingram, 1998; NIH, 1993). There is also a rare form of emphysema caused by an inherited deficiency of a blood component, alpha-1-antitrypsin. It is estimated that 1% to 3% of all emphysema cases are due to this deficiency (NIH, 1993).
COPD is a degenerative disease that worsens over time. …

Re: Long-Winded Treknology: The Original Series
Comparative and Hybrid Plan Study: Matt Jefferies 33" and Alan Sinclair's Revision-D port-side diagram
--- Purpose
To compare the differences between the 11' and 33" versions of the Production studio models and to see how feasible it is to convert the former to the latter with a minimum of modifications. Concept derived from ideas presented by Warped9
--- Process
Did an standard articulation comparison. The diagram demonstrates the results.
Did a rearticulated comparison. The diagram demonstrates the results.
Made preparations to make a hybrid version:
Started with unarticulated versions of each diagram, each as their own layer.
Followed the following procedures on the Alan Sinclair diagram.
Removed command pod.
Trimmed excess top of saucer.
Repasted and repositioned command pod as new layer.
Removed bottom of primary hull.
Repasted and repositioned as new layer.
Trimmed excess and overlap.
Removed lower sensor dome & housing.
Repasted and repositioned as new layer.
Removed lower sensor dome.
Repasted portion stretch horizontal 33% and shrunk vertically to 40% as new sensor dome.
Removed Secondary hull and lower part of the interconnecting dorsal and nacelle pylons.
Repasted and repositioned as new layer, matching the forward part of the hull.
Removed fantail, hanger bay entrance, and aft dome.
Repasted and repositioned as new layer.
Removed and repositioned the aft dome.
Trimmed excess from secondary hull and dorsal.
Removed nacelles and remainder of pylons.
Repasted as new layer and positioned to match original attachment point.
--- Analysis
Perhaps a deck is lost beneath the command pod.
Another deck or so is lost above the lower sensor dome.
Probably the lowest deck of the interconnecting dorsal is lost.
Some aft hanger bay space is lost, and this would effect the topology of the hanger entrance and fantail peripherally.
Further conversion could be done by removing a couple meters from the outer ring of the primary hull dish, making it less than two full decks.
The interconnecting dorsal could be refashioned but that would be considerable work for little benefit, as would be adjusting the nacelles.
Shrinking all of the secondary hull is also possible, but would make a logical, easy conversion to "The Cage" version of the ship difficult to imagine (a major conversion or replacement of the secondary hull might be required).
--- Conclusions
I'm not sure what changes (other than those shared with the 11' model) were made in converting the first Pilot version of the 33" to the Production version, but hopefully other experts could suggest any omissions or errors that have occurred by not being aware of these (i.e., differences between the Pilot 33" and 11' models). And frankly those details are beyond this brief study. Overall a some moderate changes to the design produced results with the key differences that the 33" model possesses. Furthermore, conversion to the Production version of the ship could be seen as adding or modifying existing modules to the 33" design without making widespread alterations. Furthermore, all these alterations would increase space available in the ship. Presumably these modifications would have taken place after the first five year voyage.
Unfortunately, using this scheme contravenes pretty much everyone's conceptions about the nature of the evolution of 1701's design, whether they are inside the franchise or amateur Treknologists. But it is within the realm of possibility.

Fraser's Golf & Country Club
Fraser's Golf & Country Club course is a par 70, 5355 yards/4897 meters course. The golf course & its holes are entirely sculptured around the hilly terrain at 4,000 feet with temperature ranges between 16-24 degree centigrade. This is one of the most ideal conditions for some great swings.
Each hole has a interesting name given to it for example the 10th hole is name "temptation" while the 12th hole par 3 index 18 is named "peanut" may be due to the reason the hole is quite "kacang" for most golfer.

- Birdwatching
Why Fraser?
Fraser's Hill was named after an English adventurer, Louis James Fraser, who built himself a shack in the hill in the 19th century.
He operated a primitive mule train and embarked on a lucrative trade in tin ore. However, he disappeared during the first decade of the 20th century and was never seen again.
This hill station was later rediscovered by Bishop Ferguson-Davie in 1910 after his attempt in searching for missing Fraser failed.
Here we are, able to enjoy this perfect mountain retreat which is within 2 hours journey from Kuala Lumpur.

- Adventure Travel
Why Fraser's Hill? (Pick one if not all)
Generally, there are three types of people coming to Fraser's Hill (minus the local) and most of them are recurring visitors to Fraser for the following reasons.
Retreats or Holiday Making – The cool climate at Fraser's Hill provides an ideal place for retreats and family holiday making. You will have the choice of staying into bungalows or regular hotel rooms. Whichever you choice is, Fraser's Hill is also no lack in recreation parks and waterfalls. For a change, you may want to try bird watching and try to spot some rarest species only found in South East Asia.
Bird Watching – Unlike birds found in the lowlands (some are migratory birds), bird species in the highlands tend to be related to those of subtropical mainland Asia and they are here for more permanents basis.
Golfing - The 18 holes Fraser's Hill Golf and Country Club features colonial style club-house with tennis facility. A second golf course is the short and tricky the 9-hole at the Royal Fraser's Hill Golf Club which provides the means for golf enthusiasts to tee off in a cool, pleasant environment
I will write more on each in next few tips.

waterfall up in the hill..
since there wasn't much for us to do, we decided to follow a sign that pointed us to the jeriau waterfall.. it's a pretty nice and easy walk from the small carpark to the falls.. the pool of water around the fall is just knee deep.. perfect for family with little kids..
bird watching
for avid bird watchers, frasers hill offers a myriad of interesting birds.. we're not much of a birdie ppl.. so, all we do is look thru our binoculars and go "look! that little black bird" or "the bird with the looong tail".. well, it's still pretty interesting.. :)
Horseback Riding
The paddock at Fraser's Hill provides ponies for novices who would like to experience the pleasures of riding, and horses are provided for the more proficient riders. This is an ideal way to explore the hill and there are a number of trails that spiral around the hillside. There is nothing like the feeling of the rocking canter of a horse beneath you as the cool mountain air whispers past your face
- Family Travel
Bird Watching
To prepare for bird watching, you must take note of the following:
- a pair of binoculars
- a field guide (help you identify the species you come across)
- a field notebook (twrite down your observations)
Fraser's Hill is popular for bird watching as forests in the highlands are different from those found in the lowlands, and supports mostly different community of birds. The forest is cooler, damper, shorter in stature, and contains mostly different plant species from those found in the lowlands. As bird food, there are differences in fruit production and insect species as well. Bird species in the highlands tend to be related to those of subtropical mainland Asia, whereas birds in the lowlands tend to be related to those in the rest of the islands in Southeast Asia.
In the entire region of Fraser's Hill, from the Gap at 2,700ft to the peak at 4,200ft, about 265 species of birds have been recorded.
The birds of the highlands are particularly important for several reasons. Highlands contain a high proportion of the endemic birds that are found only in Malaysia and nowhere else in the world. Two of the three endemic birds of the Malay Peninsula, and 20 of the 33 endemic birds of Borneo, are found only in the highlands. Examples are the Malaysian Whistling Thrush, the Mountain Peacock-Pheasant, and the Kinabalu Friendly Warbler. We have a special responsibility for these species because their entire populations occur within this country only.
Second, highland birds are found in a relatively small geographical area because highlands occupy less than 10% of the entire country. Because of this, birds in the highlands (and particularly those that are strictly confined to the highlands) are more vulnerable to disturbance than widespread ones.
Birds in the highlands are often brilliantly coloured. They are easily spotted and tamer than birds elsewhere. The various Laughing Thrushes at Fraser's Hill are noisy and active.
- Birdwatching
Colonial Houses
There are many colonial houses in Fraser's Hill. Walking or driving around is fun. Although trhe roads are narrow, as you walk, you will see beautiful colonial houses. Some have nice gardens with colourful plants and flowers.
- Hiking and Walking
Town Centre
The town centre is a very small but cosy one. There is basically one row of shops, a building where the gold course office and UNESCO office is, a clock tower and a post office which was built in the early 18th century.
There are small eateries, which serve, Malay, Westerna and Chinese food. There are also souvenir stores.
During the weekends when there are more people, there are make-shift stores selling souvenirs outside the golf course office building.
- Road Trip
Jeriau Waterfall
Jeriau Waterfall is a ten minutes drive from the Fraser's Hill Town. Follow the road signs and it will guide you to a big carpark. In Malay, waterfall is "Air Terjun".
From the carpark, you will see a big signage of the waterfall. It is about a ten minute walk from the carpark to the waterfall.
The water is cold and there are poeple bathing inside the pool of cold water.
- Adventure Travel
Hemmant Trail
Hemmant Trail is one of the easiesy trail. There are not much obstacles and along the way, one can even see the nice beautiful view of the Golf Course. The route is drier and there are less leeches along this trail.
- Hiking and Walking
Nature Trails
One of the delights of a visit to Fraser's Hill is to be able to explore the splendour of nature with a trek through the many well marked nature trails or tracks. To fully enjoy the experience, one has to be well-prepared. A pair of good trekking shoe or a strong walking shoe, a light water-proof jacket and a pair of binoculars to look out for the wide varieties of bird life there.
There are many trails including :
ABU SURADI (20 mins)
Linking Jalan Genting near Puncak Inn and Jalan Ampang near Oleh Sayang.
HEMMANT (30 mins)
Linking Jalan Genting near to the Fraser's Hill Development Corporation office, to Valley Road at the junction with Jalan Lady Maxwell.

The Wizards scored just six fourth-quarter points in their loss to the Hornets last night.
John Wall and Bradley Beal rested for the first 4:42 of that final period.
Wall, via Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post:
"I feel like we can't have me and Brad sitting," said Wall, who finished with 14 points on 6 for 18 shooting, with six assists, five rebounds and four turnovers. "That's just my opinion. Coach makes the decision he feels is best for us. I just feel like one of us has to be in in that situation because when you're on the road, this is the time when you can step on them.
"I just feel like one of us has to be in. I don't know. It's just my opinion because our second unit was just so stagnant. And I'm not saying they lost the game. [Shoot], we all lost the game. We didn't make shots. We were 1 for 20, right? I think we were just so stagnant. We really didn't have anybody penetrating and creating."
First of all, this is how you disagree with a coach. Wall made clear that he respects Randy Wittman's authority to set the rotation. Two adults should be allowed to acknowledge their differing opinions without it being labeled a feud.
But is Wall right?
Per nbawowy!, here are Washington's offensive/defensive/net ratings with:
The Wizards have been much better with neither player on the court this season. They've also been a disaster when Beal plays without Wall.
But this is a relatively small sample. Let's look back to last season.
Washington was – by far – at its best when Wall and Beal shared the court. They just complement each other so well. The Wizards were also fine with just Wall, bad with just Beal and even worse with neither.
If I were the Wizards, I'd generally chance resting Wall and Beal simultaneously so they can play more together. If I'm using just one, it's Wall. Beal is not a creator I trust to run the offense, and Wall's defense is important.
But there's a limit on how much Wall (and Beal) can play. Wall got 36 minutes against Charlotte, and Beal played 38.
To the point, Wall and Beal played the final 7:18 – and the Wizards didn't make a single basket in that span. They scored just two points on free throws. So, it's hard to argue Wall and Beal were the answer.
Wittman blamed the players more than his substitutions.
Wittman, via J. Michael of CSN Mid-Atlantic:
"We don't have guys that are making plays right now. Again, good looks but until we quit feeling sorry," said Wittman, who could've gone this road after a 123-106 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday but didn't. "When things go bad like that I had to twice in timeouts and tell them to lift their heads up. There's plenty of time left. We're up nine during this whole thing. We start feeling sorry, start pouting putting our heads down and it becomes a snowball. We got to grow up in that aspect of it. If the shot doesn't go in, it doesn't go in.
"Makes, misses, that's the game. You never give in. We haven't gotten over that. That's been that way for the last couple of years. Guys don't play well, put their heads down and we pout, feel sorry for ourselves."
When Wittman previously called out a player publicly, Marcin Gortat didn't take it well. I'm not sure this will go any better.
When confronted with Wittman's words, Bradley Beal only would shake his head before giving this retort: "I'm not going to comment on that."
It's uncharacteristic of the fourth-year shooting guard, who'll usually give some sort of answer and shrug it off. By saying nothing, he's staying plenty.
The Wizards, who entered the season a contender for the Eastern Conference finals, are 6-6. They've lost two straight, by 17 and 14 – and the end of their last defeat was historically dreadful.
Is this a team in turmoil?
When Chris Paul recognized he got matched up with Rudy Gobert in transition, he slowed it down and set it up for an isolation — then used his step back to drop him to the ground and drain the open midrange. It's one of the better highlight plays from the Clippers this season (and they have more than a few in Lob City).
Did CP3 push off on Gobert? Of course. Welcome to the NBA, every player who drives pushes off (including Gordon Hayward). It looked like to be Gobert tried to sell the contact and didn't get the call he wanted.
However, after the game Gobert tweeted it was something else entirely.
Either way the Jazz got the win Wednesday night, 102-91, snapping a 13-game losing streak to the Clippers. The Jazz are .500 on the season with the win (7-7), while the Clippers drop back to below .500 (7-8) with some issues to sort out still.
How on earth could some improve on that?
Put the kids in turkey costumes.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving. In the spirit of the day, our five takeaways have become five storylines we should be thankful for this young NBA season. We at PBT are thankful to you for being here, reading our work, and, of course, we're thankful for stuffing (the best part of the Thanksgiving meal).
1) Record-setting Golden State revolutionizing the game. The Warriors' revolution will be televised. And copied by half the league or more. Golden State put together the personnel to take full advantage of the current rules (zone defenses, no hand checking on the perimeter), to take what Mike D'Antoni and Steve Nash started to do in Phoenix and win with it. Golden State is at the forefront of the small ball revolution sweeping the league because they can make it work — but nobody can quite copy it because nobody has Stephen Curry or Draymond Green. Those guys are the lynchpins. Curry is the perfect modern point guard, one who can shoot the three comfortably out to nearly 30 feet, but can also recognize the defense and set guys up. Green is his dangerous pick-and-roll partner who makes going small work because their defense doesn't suffer when they do.
Golden State is kind of like Brazil in international soccer — they're everybody's second favorite team to watch because they play such a beautiful and entertaining game. And in the case of Golden State they are winning doing it — they are a record-setting 16-0 to start the season after they won the NBA title. They are the bar to clear in the NBA right now.
2) Kristaps Porzingis, Karl-Anthony Towns lead an impressive rookie class. Even Porzingis' biggest supporters on draft night thought it would be a year or two before he could contribute at the NBA level. Nope, he's good right now with the potential for greatness. Karl-Anthony Towns had great offensive moves and vision but back at the draft was seen as a defensive project (especially off the ball). Nope, he is an effective rim protector and pick-and-roll defender now who looks like a franchise cornerstone big man (to go with franchise cornerstone wing Andrew Wiggins) in Minnesota. Justise Winslow is already a good NBA defender who can get some points for Miami on offense. Jahlil Okafor is as advertised, a scoring machine when he gets the ball in the post. Emmanuel Mudiay is improving and showing strong NBA potential up in Denver. Stanley Johnson and Frank Kaminsky are already contributing in Detroit and Charlotte, respectively. And the list goes on.
This is a great rookie class that is going to be fun to watch for a long time.
3) Highlights like these. The NBA's highlight factory is back in full session with plays like these from Russell Westbrook and Blake Griffin — and these were just Wednesday night's plays. It's like this every night.
4) Paul George is back. This is maybe my favorite story of the young season — I was not sure we'd ever see peak Paul George again after his horrific leg injury playing for Team USA. He is all the way back and more. George has scored at least 25 points in nine straight games, he has developed a much more reliable jump shot, and he can still play lock-down defense. He is back to being an elite player, and with him the Pacers are back to being a good and potentially danger ous playoff team (9-5 so far, with a top five defense).
5) Dirk Nowitzki and Tim Duncan are defying Father Time. Nowitzki's jumper seemed to be deserting him in recent seasons, and then this season he has gone and gotten it back — he's shooting 51 percent from three this season. Teams have to game plan for him again like it's 2011. Duncan and Manu Ginobili are playing their best ball in years for what felt like it could be the final run for this era of the Spurs — San Antonio has been the second best team in the NBA so far. Duncan is playing great defense and understands what he can still do efficiently on offense. Duncan and Nowitzki could well be All-Stars in the West — and they will have earned it, they deserve it for their play.

Sue Xiao, I don't know what school you go to, but a relatively new student group called Design for America (DFA) is helping college students learn how to reach out to their local community to have social impact through design. I applaud groups which work on solutions for the developing world, but the ability to connect directly with people in the local community often improves both the design and the impact of the project. Although it started at Northwestern University, DFA is currently at 17 campuses. See www.designforamerica.com for more info.

This article is part of the supplement: Italian Society of Bioinformatics (BITS): Annual Meeting 2007
A three-state prediction of single point mutations on protein stability changes
1 Structural Genomics Unit, Bioinformatics Department, Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe (CIPF), Valencia, Spain
2 Laboratory of Biocomputing, CIRB/Department of Biology, University of Bologna, via Irnerio 42, 40126 Bologna, Italy
3 BioDec Srl, via Calzavecchio 20/2, Casalecchio di Reno Bologna, Italy
BMC Bioinformatics 2008, 9(Suppl 2):S6 doi:10.1186/1471-2105-9-S2-S6Published: 26 March 2008
A basic question of protein structural studies is to which extent mutations affect the stability. This question may be addressed starting from sequence and/or from structure. In proteomics and genomics studies prediction of protein stability free energy change (ΔΔG) upon single point mutation may also help the annotation process. The experimental ΔΔG values are affected by uncertainty as measured by standard deviations. Most of the ΔΔG values are nearly zero (about 32% of the ΔΔG data set ranges from −0.5 to 0.5 kcal/mole) and both the value and sign of ΔΔG may be either positive or negative for the same mutation blurring the relationship among mutations and expected ΔΔG value. In order to overcome this problem we describe a new predictor that discriminates between 3 mutation classes: destabilizing mutations (ΔΔG<−1.0 kcal/mol), stabilizing mutations (ΔΔG>1.0 kcal/mole) and neutral mutations (−1.0≤ΔΔG≤1.0 kcal/mole).
In this paper a support vector machine starting from the protein sequence or structure discriminates between stabilizing, destabilizing and neutral mutations. We rank all the possible substitutions according to a three state classification system and show that the overall accuracy of our predictor is as high as 56% when performed starting from sequence information and 61% when the protein structure is available, with a mean value correlation coefficient of 0.27 and 0.35, respectively. These values are about 20 points per cent higher than those of a random predictor.
Our method improves the quality of the prediction of the free energy change due to single point protein mutations by adopting a hypothesis of thermodynamic reversibility of the existing experimental data. By this we both recast the thermodynamic symmetry of the problem and balance the distribution of the available experimental measurements of free energy changes. This eliminates possible overestimations of the previously described methods trained on an unbalanced data set comprising a number of destabilizing mutations higher than stabilizing ones.

My husband and I are doing our very best to save, but my student loan payments are eating up so much of our paycheck. We cannot do any more consolidation. Is there any other way to relieve this burden? We want to start a family, save for a house and retirement.
With the limited amount of information I know about your situation, these are my suggestions.
- Family. Is there a family member that can help? For example, I have a client who loaned money to their daughter, who then paid off one of her student loans. So the "child" got out from underneath an 8.3% interest rate, and she is paying her folks 4% interest, which is a good rate of return for the parents. Now she can pay down her student loans more aggressively, making the same loan payments but the loans will be gone sooner.
- Retirement Plan. Are you and/or your husband contributing to your 401(k) plan at work, if one is even offered? Is there an employer match? Many times the employer will match the employee contribution up to a certain amount, such as up to 3% of your wages. If that's true, every dollar you put in turns into $2, and it can grow from there. While this does not help with your student loans, it gets a jump-start on retirement savings. You just cannot "double your money" in the real world of investing without gambling. With an employer match, you get to double your money from the get-go.
- Budgeting. Oh, we hate that word. Let's put a different spin on it: Spending Plan, and it is different because you have a different mind-set. Maybe there are dollars being eaten away in your monthly spending that can be better controlled. For example, let's say that both you and your husband get $100 cash each week (or whatever the number is) to spend on whatever you like (lunches, dinner out, movies), but no more. Hit the ATM machine every Sunday, and that's that. After that, you have only your rent, utilities, loan payments, groceries, and if you can, "savings". Rather than nit-pick a budget that seems so legalistic and hard to manage, give yourself some freedom but also guardrails.
- Create a plan! Yes, the student loans are overwhelming. How long do you have to pay them? A primary goal should be to get out of debt. If you can do that and save at the same time, good for you. If not, plan to get out of debt. If you get Christmas money [or birthday or whatever], consider paying more on your loans. Extra money should be applied to the highest interest rate loan. Focus on one loan at a time, and get rid of it, then focus on another, all the while making your minimum payments on the others. If you make a plan, and work the plan, you can see success. We call this "delayed gratification," which is something prior generations dealt with, and current generations typically don't. Maybe a part-time second job for you or your husband is in order to knock out one of those loans. Once one is gone, you have the breathing room. That could be part of The Plan.
- Human Capital. Those student loans gave you something, we call it "human capital" … the ability to earn more money than if you never took out the debt. If that's not the case, then you should learn from your mistakes. For example, if you got an undergrad in Art History, but you are unemployable in that field because you need a graduate degree, and you mounted up debt for a degree that did not give you "human capital," learn from that mistake. Nothing against the arts, mind you. The message I'm trying to bring is to analyze your purchasing decisions for long-term assets [education, house, cars] so that you are making the most rational decisions. Also, I know this is a tough job market, and maybe "human capital" did not come because of the tough job market; I'm not here to beat you up on that, and you shouldn't beat yourself up either. Sometimes that's just the way it is.
I hope some of these suggestions help. I throw things out to see if they stick, but it is all about creating a financial plan. It's not as simple as having free cash flow and saving. Once you can save, there should be a Plan in place to accomplish goals: save for a house, save for retirement, protect your assets (insurance), maybe save for a year's sabbatical once you start your family, etc. The answer is within you and your husband, but often it takes that independent third-party "financial planner" to help you discover the answers.

Exactly. My impression at the end of TUC was that the crew was standing down (Being decommissioned is an odd way of saying this) and that a new crew would be taking over the Enterprise, which would have a good 10+ years of service left. I was a little miffed to find in GEN that the 1701-B was launched within a year of TUC (if you do the math), making that assumption impossible. In-Universe it would appear that Kirk thought the ship would remain in service, but was wrong.

New Darwin Colony - Enterprise Era PbEM Sim
"So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable." - Christopher Reeve
On the edge of Klingon space lies a star system only explored by a few humans and aliens. The Klingons came first with their greed for the rich dilithium resources of the systems moons and the valuable resources of an untouched M-class planet. Enslaving a race called the Daliwakans they transported them across space and forced them to labor whilst they reaped the benefits in an oppressive and dark time.
The desperate cries of the Daliwakans did not go unheard. A race from the planet Earth calling themselves the Humans came with their powerful starship's and drove the Klingons away liberating the slaves from their captivity.
In a spirit of gratitude and co-operation the Daliwakans and the Humans create New Darwin Colony. Its strategic place on the outskirts of Klingon space make it a perfect place for monitoring their activities. The colony is growing, but there are many more adventures and challenges to come. So why not join us on our journey of creativity? Make your mark on the foundation of New Darwin Colony!
We are looking to recruit experienced or first time gamers to join our crew either as Humans or Daliwakans. We currently have vacancies in a number of positions and invite you to explore our crew roster and website data.
New Darwin Colony -
Start living in this unique era of Star Treks history. Be inspired again by where it all began.
New Darwin is part of The First Era group.
Full training is available to acclimatise you with the 22nd Century and to teach you the basics of gaming if you are a new player.

Phil Schneider: Assassinated After Disclosure - Full Feature

- Views: 313
HD 720p: Warning (GRAPHIC CONTENT) - This new film features Phil Schneider at the Preparedness Expo in 1995 with added features along with rare photos and footage as he lectures. See more info Schneider is an ex-government geologist and structural engineer who was involved in building underground military bases around the United States, (possessing a level 3 security clearance, "Rhyolite 38"), and to be one of only three people to have survived a deadly battle in which 66 American and NATO "Delta Force" soldiers were killed. This battle occurred in 1979 between Grey Aliens, Military and NATO Forces at an underground base inside Dulce, the last two years of his life Schneider gave over 30 lectures to a variety of audiences across the globe. Lectures that exposed a corrupt government, New World Order and the disturbing "Alien Agenda". Despite avoiding over 13 attempts on his life during these years, Schneider was found dead in his Wilsonville, Oregon apartment on January 17, 1996. He had been deceased for several days when he was found. He was found with his own catheter wrapped around his neck several times. At the time, Phil was very weak due to multiple physical illnesses including cancer, which he firmly believed was a result from what blasted him in the chest during the underground battle in Dulce, check out: The Underground - A Hidden Reality and True Story of Phil Schneider -

TRAILVOLUTION - a Trailriding Movie
Based on the question what is, in our opinion, the best stuff in bike-movies TRAILVOLUTION is a movie about trailriding. TRAILVOLUTION shows different types of trails, starting from the "typical" bike-trail in the woods and ending up in riding parks and former industrial sites, believing that at last every piece of dirt you touch with your tires is a part of your trail and that everything has the potential to become a trail for biking.
TRAILVOLUTION can be seen as some kind of experiment, trying to figure out how far you can get in producing a bike-movie when having zero budget but a crew of motivated friends and a little support from a local bike shop.
Our aim is to produce beautiful images making you want to go out for a ride and putting a smile in your face on each of these rainy winter afternoons.

Which breeds are
more susceptible to
intervertebral disk disease?
Certain breeds of dogs including
Dachshunds, Basset Hounds, Beagles,
Cocker Spaniels, Shih Tzus, Lhasa
Apsos, Pekingese, and Corgis have a
greater incidence of disk disease. They
are more likely to have genetic factors
that increase the risk of the disease.
How is intervertebral
disk disease treated?
Dogs with mild herniations require
temporary confinement in a small space
(ideally a cage or crate) to limit movement
and the potential for further injury. Your
veterinarian will also likely prescribe
pain medication and a nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such
as Quellin™ or Rimadyl to help reduce the
swelling around the spinal cord. Dogs
suffering severe herniations may require
surgery to remove the protruding disk
material and/or a portion of the bone
surrounding the spinal cord. This surgery
almost always requires the expertise of a
specialist, and must be performed within
hours of the injury. Full healing typically
takes several weeks or months.
If you suspect your dog has a ruptured
disk, see your veterinarian right away
for a definitive diagnosis and the best
possible chance for recovery.

Saw My First TOS episode!

, may I ask how long you've been a fan?
In the late 90's I was bored and nothing was on TV that I liked. Since I am a sci-fi fan and BBC 2 was showing an episode of TNG, I decided to watch it. The next few days I found myself watching more TNG but at this point I didn't care if I missed it. A few weeks after, I found myself setting my alarm to watch it, and was hooked. I was confused though, what was that blurred face man (Odo) doing on TNG? why were the uniforms different? and why was Dr Crusher replaced with a man (Bashir)? Of course, it was DS9... I didn't understand at the time that there were different shows of Star Trek, I just assumed it was all 1 show. I didn't care for DS9 though so never bothered to watch it. It just seemed wrong. After I've seen many TNG episodes, I started watching VOY and loved it. I then made it my goal to get into DS9 which I did and also loved it. Of course, being a Trek fan, I watched ENT too which I found good but not great. So yes, I've been a fan for over 10 years.

However, NBC ordered a second pilot without the Number One character (Majel Barrett). Jeffrey Hunter declined to appear again as Pike, hence Shatner as Kirk.
Why did NBC order NOT to include Majel Barrett? Is it because she is a woman? I am too young to understand the 60's view on women and race, sorry. I never liked "Number One" anyway, I felt she was emotionless and dull.
Why did Jeffery Hunter decline to appear again as Pike? I really think he was great as the role of captain. I have not seen Kirk yet so I cannot compare him to Pike so I ask how much "better" is Kirk than Pike? or are they just equal but different?

But yeah, you are in for a great ride. TOS is excellent, and you have many, many more classic shows to come.
Thanks, it seems I am in for a good ride.

When I first watched TOS, I started watching TOS with The Man Trap, which was OK and I liked it enough, but then I decided to switch to the production order and watched
The Cage

JoeD80 wrote:
These are the numbers following air-date order, not production order. "Where No Man Has Gone Before" was the 2nd produced (counting "The Cage" as the first), "The Man Trap" was the 6th, "Charlie X" was the 8th. The network or the studio often shuffles episodes around to give a balance to the variety of stories on a particular series (at least that's the theory; sometimes it just leads to viewer confusion as in the Firefly example above).
Noname Given wrote:
If your inclined, do yourself a favor and watch the first 12 episodes in Production order, and NOT broadcast order, as for the first half season they had a lot of small internal continuity nods. For example
The Corbomite Manuever
(which IMO is the best Star Trek episode made because it really captures the essence of what 'Star Trek' was abount in 55 minutes (YMMV
) was the first episode filmed after teh pilot, but was the 10th episode aired because of all the SFX shots required for it).
Ok, I want to watch these in the "best" order possible so need you guys to help me. It seems I should watch them in production order so could people jot down the episode names for me please? I've only seen 1 episode so far, which is "The Cage" so what comes next for the best experience?
Sorry if I did not quote you all, but I have read all your comments and really appreciate your input!

Cat and the Fiddle and Merry Widow up for pre-order at Movies Unlimited

The last two of Jeanette MacDonald's MGM musicals are up for pre-order at Movies Unlimited as exclusives. The Cat and the Fiddle and The Merry Widow were both pre-Nelson Eddy but had many winning moments including some technicolor in one...direction by Ernst Lubitsch and two well known male leads Chevalier in Widow and Ramon Novarro in Cat/Fiddle.

The Merry Widow is a truly lavish production; the movie wasn't popular in its day, and MGM lost a packet of money on it, but it has certainly stood the test of time. I saw The Cat and the Fiddle long ago, but I have almost no memory of it. Will be glad to eventually add both to my collection.

Predators take a chance on Coyotes' castoff
It was fewer than three weeks ago that Phoenix Coyotes general manager Don Maloney cited "behavioral issues" as the reason he and his team bought out the remaining three years of Mike Ribeiro's contract.
"To his credit, he has been getting help this offseason and obviously would hope he continues," Maloney said at the time, according to the Arizona Republic. "But at the end of the year and all the background checking and what happened, we felt that for us to move forward, we couldn't have him a part of this team."
Tuesday the Nashville Predators signed the 34-year-old forward to a one-year, $1.05 million contract – and did their best to make him sound like a pillar of professionalism.
"Mike is a talented veteran center who has produced offensively everywhere he has played," general manager David Poile said in a statement. "We have done our due diligence and believe Mike has a lot to offer to our team, improves us at our center ice position and will fit in with our group and contribute."
The Predators will be his fourth team in as many different seasons. He was with Dallas in 2011-12, with Washington in 2012-13 and with Phoenix a year ago.
A second-round pick by Montreal in 1998, he has scored 20 goals or more three times in the NHL and has topped 15 in each of the last nine 82-game seasons. He has 656 points (202 goals, 454 assists) in 865 career games.
The Coyotes considered him a foundation piece and their No. 1 center when they signed him last summer to a four-year, $22 million contract. They eventually benched him for two games during their push for the playoffs, which they missed out on by two points.
According to reports, coaches paired him with a number of different wingers and he failed to find chemistry with any of them. His 47 points (16 goals, 31 assists) last season were his fewest in more than a decade.
"I think it was a lot of things," Ribeiro said following the season, according to the Arizona Republic. "It's not just about hockey but a lot of things. Never having my groove, never found it. It was just a hard season for me. I think it was one of my worst seasons. But … I don't believe it can get worse."
The Predators better hope it doesn't.

Kevin made great and interesting points that I can wholeheartedly agree on.
For me, I am going to admit that I am completely bias when it comes to Harry and Ron... and maybe even Neville.
I can understand where those who like this ship are coming from... yet I still cannot picture Ginny, Hermione or Luna being with Draco.
I won't put this ship down because of my bias thoughts. I know my ships aren't so agreeable either - especially my non-canon pairings. As Avi said, we all have ships we love and don't agree upon here. Thanks to FF! So, I respect those who do ship this ship or any ship I suppose.

Been here? Rate It!
The best place for paragliding in Turkey, so if you have enough courage, you have to try at least once.You are taking of top of Babadag ( app. 2000m ) and you are facing up with an amazing scene as attached
Many of tour companies in Oludeniz beach are organizing this amazing event, the prices are 80-100 €.
Paragliding far away from the craziness!
This was the first crazy high thing that I did on my round the world trip - hey - Im still doing things now and it sure as hell hasnt conquered my fear, but it was great fun!
We took a 4x4 up a hellish narrow windey road all the way up Baba Dag which is the mountain that you run off!
Its all very well organised, you can have a dvd and things like that as extra if you would like!
As I hate heights I obviously had the DVD otherwise people would never believe that I did it!
To be honest, the hair raising drive up there was scarier than the paraglide. Once up there, they dress you in all the relevant gear and introduce you to you tandem instructor who gives you a lowdown on what to do and what not to do.
When you run off the mountain the feeling is quite scary, but you instantly relax as you go into a seated position and just take in the superb scenery around you.

Paragliding From Babadag to Oludeniz
Babadag is said to be one of the most exciting paragliding site with a magnificient view of oludeniz - well known from Turkey ads (a turkuaz sea inlet with sandy beach)..
Take a tandem paragliding activity about 2000 m high mountain through the Aegean Sea - had a chance also to see Rhodos Island if the wind and hot air streams available...
Every year international air games holds...

Paragliding at Oludeniz
One of the best place for paragliding is in Oludeniz -- with it's panoramic views of the ocean and the Babadag mountains. It's one of the most popular things to do in this village resort. You'll find those colourful paraglides dominating the beach sky in Oludeniz.
Tandem paragliding costs from GBP 70 to 100 per person, I think it depends on your bargaining skills, and you may get it lower during off-peak season.

'Swamp People' draw hundreds to Bourg party
Published: Saturday, August 13, 2011 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 12, 2011 at 11:57 p.m.
BOURG — In the open field in front of the Louis Mohana Furniture store in Bourg Friday afternoon, a camouflage-painted Hummer with tinted windows pulled onto the grass.
Children and grown-ups standing around a big white pavilion, where a zydeco band thumped out a beat, turned their heads to stare.
"Is that them?" a group of little boys, T-shirts sweaty in the summer heat, were whispering. "Is that Troy and LJ?"
The Hummer sat still as the drumline of South Terrebonne High School's Million-Dollar Band from Bayouland lined up alongside the tent. Cheerleaders lined the stage and started dancing as the drums thundered to life.
The emcee took the microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen — the stars of the best show on TV, The History Channel's 'Swamp People,' Troy and LJ Landry."
The crowd cheered and the drums boomed again, as the Landrys emerged from the Hummer and waved easily, like jeans-and- polo-shirt-clad rock stars.
Troy noticed a woman's alligator-skin boots and bellowed his now world-famous catchphrase.
"Choot 'em! Choot 'em!"
And the crowd went wild.
It wouldn't be the first time those words, now beloved all across South Louisiana, would be uttered Friday night, as the furniture store threw one of its regular customer appreciation parties. The South Terrebonne High band was also there, raising money for a new halftime show and other expenses.
"These guys are a hit," said owner Louis Mohana. "This is the biggest crowd we've ever had."
Champion armwrestler R.J. Molinere and his son Jay Paul Molinere, of Grand Bois, newer additions to "Swamp People," were also signing autographs and posing for photos.
The party, which hundreds of people from all over the area, featured steaming pots of jambalaya, piles of hamburgers and live music.
Parents of the band sold drinks — a precious item in the sweltering heat — and collected donations.
"Just look at that crowd," said Billy James, the band's director. "People are being so generous. This is great."
James said the band is preparing for an "epic" halftime show this season. The pirate-themed show includes swashbuckling music and costumes and, James hinted, a real pirate ship.
"We really think it's going to be spectacular," he said.
James said the band was trying to net at least $3,000 to pay for parts of the show, as well as for instruments and repairs.

Mohana said he thought the party was on overwhelming success.
"This is what it's all about," he said. "We wanted people to have a good time, and this is about as good as it gets."
