The drafty backside is finally gone, replaced with comfort, warmth and dignity in a newly designed hospital gown that blends style for the patient with clinical function for the health care team.
The new patient gown -- resembling a wrap-around robe that completely closes in the back and front- is being rolled out on several inpatient floors at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. It is among the first inventions to be made public by the Henry Ford Innovation Institute in collaboration with the College for Creative Studies.
The newly designed gown is:
"Our No. 1 goal was to close the backside of the gown with our design," says Michael Forbes, a product designer at the Henry Ford Innovation Institute and graduate of the College for Creative Studies (CCS).
"A simple change can have a large impact on the patients' stay at a hospital. By creating a hospital gown that is safe, stylish and comfortable, we've made the patient feel more at home, like they're wearing their own garments."
The gown, which began with a drawing two years ago from CCS students working at the Innovation Institute, is now being tested by patients like Ismail Khalil, M.D., a vascular surgeon from Lebanon who traveled to Henry Ford Hospital for a liver transplant.
Dr. Khalil has the unique perspective as both a physician and now a patient on the design of the new hospital gown versus the traditional hospital gown.
"The new gown is the ultimate in simplicity and sophistication," he says. "The old gown was uncomfortable with the ties in the back; I did not like it. I'd much rather walk down the hall in the new gown; it fits well and you feel decent. It looks good too. What more could you want?"
The new gown is tailored to fit two patient populations. Using the snaps on either side of the gown, it can adjust from a size large to an extra large, allowing for it to fit more patients with a single design.
The gown is navy and light blue, to coincide with the Henry Ford Hospital colors. The colors, however, can easily be modified for other hospitals to fit their brand.
The goal, Forbes says, is to license the design to an existing gown manufacturer, which would then produce and sell the gown nationally.
The cost to manufacture and purchase the new gown is very comparable to existing gowns, says Forbes. Laundering is exactly the same too; the new gown meets with current national hospital cleaning standards.

Think I have a rodent in my attic
For those who have experienced this, how consistent is the noise? For the past week, every couple days I will hear a sound that is similar to what it would make if you shook an electrical wire inside a wall. Just a light rubbing/taping sound. It will do it for maybe a minute then go away.
Could this be a rodent? I figured they'd be making more noise and wrecking more havoc than that. But guess if it's staying on top of the insulation most of the time I could see why it's so quiet.
I will probably go up there and check tomorrow. It's a huge pain to go up there, but I can't really take chances either.
Edit: It was bugging me so I took the step ladder and just popped my head up there to take a quick look. Looks the same way I left it a year or two ago when I did some work. I got an idea of putting some peanuts up there and tomorrow I'll check if they're gone. That should confirm if I have a rodent hopefully.
Yeah hopefully with this cold, the smell wont go very far. :laughing:
If it is a rodent I'm hoping it's just one of the neighborhood chipmunks. He'll be hibernating most of the winter, I'll just leave him alone and kick him out in spring. It's kinda hard to go inspect the roof vents and other areas for entry points when it's covered in a foot of snow. :laughing:
Hmm now that I think of it, I could check for tracks.
By all means you should set multiple rat traps now to monitor/catch whatever is up there. If it is rats they are neophobic meaning fear of new things. They will have to get used to the traps, unless they are real hungry or are young rats. Dont wait.
Ok so peanuts are gone as of this evening. There definitely is something up there. I don't want to use lethal force yet just in case it's a chipmunk or squirrel. I will have to try to find or make a small live trap. I just have to remember to check it often.
I might be forced to actually go for a crawl up there and inspect things further. Last thing I want is a fire because of chewed electrical lines arcing after being chewed lol. I see no signs of damage above the insulation, but perhaps he's playing between the batts so I'm not seeing the whole picture by just popping my head up there from the step ladder.
I just need to really figure out how it got in so I can fix it first thing in spring. I don't want a nursery up there LOL.

Been brainstorming for a trap design, think this will work?
Or will a rodent be smart enough to try lifting the door up to get out? I could maybe add some kind of mechanism that makes it lock in place when it closes. I could have it so it's always up and then it gets activated once the mob goes in. Basically like a mini cat trap.
The tricky part is I need to build this big enough for a squirrel, in case that's what I have, but small enough for a mouse. I'm thinking a plastic container as it's rather cheap and versatile, having a lid and all. I'd just punch a bunch of holes in it. I'll just have to be sure to check it every single day.
I'm still trying to figure out how it got in the attic though, that will be a tricky one to find. Guess the easiest way to check is from outside. I'll have to wait till summer and go on the roof. The only thing I can really think of is that there may be something wrong with a vent hole where the flashing has some spacing or something.
Get one of these and be done with it.
If you build your own chances are 9 in 10 that it will have some flaw that will render it useless if it is not designed to kill them outright. They'll chew their way out, get the door open, etc. They are persistent when they are trapped.
As to finding how they got in, if it is a small rodent you could spend a lifetime looking and never nail it down. A mouse can fit through a hole the size of a dime, a rat through a quarter. Better just to leave a trap baited up there and check it every couple of days. The varmits come in when it gets cold. Clear them out and you'll be done for the winter as they are not likely to migrate from other warm places they have found in other homes.
The gestation period of a female rat is normally 22 days, but can vary from 21 to 23 (and maybe even to 25):
I made a simple pipe trap, I will start with that. The cage on amazon is not available in Canada. It's been warm out, so hopefully I catch it during this weather, and I will just drive it far into the bush and leave it a bunch of food. No idea how those roads are in winter though, but I'm guessing there's enough traffic so the snow should be well packed. I'll probably put the chipmunk in my cat's cage and wait for the weekend so I can drive in daylight. I'll keep it well fed and give it water. Damn thing is lucky I'm an animal lover, putting a snap trap would be so much easier. :P
I'm looking forward to seeing what it is though, it might surprise me and be something completely random like a bat or something lol.
Ok so that trap was fail, and the chipmunk ran out laughing. I went to Canadian Tire for supplies so I could add a locking door to it and figured it's worth looking around, maybe they actually sell traps, and sure enough there was some made for chipmunks and squirrels. Should have looked the first time. Did not figure they'd sell that. So I bought one and set it up there now.
Yes, like the other posters have said, get on top of it right away.
My wife heard the noise first, I dismissed it for a few days. When I did start setting traps, I got 18 of the rascals (mice) in two weeks....
I am sorry to say it, but my experience has been the only effective means of dealing with them is with lethal traps. Most of the "capture them live" they always seem to get out of, the glue pad traps are terrible....
Good luck to you! And def check for their "running trails" (mice tend to leave trails of urine and grease when they move around, you will see these brown streaks where they are running).
Prob got into the attic by way of a chimney chase, that's a favorite of theirs, in my experience.
I don't see anything unusual on top of the fiberglass, though if it was to poop or pee it would probably just get absorbed in. (yummy). I have not gotten up there with a full size ladder and crawled around though, only looked around the opening as I can't actually get up there with the step ladder. Once I capture it, I'll probably go take a look around for any damage and clean up any food stashes. The sounds I was hearing was probably it getting into it's stashes that are burried under the last layer of insulation.
I'm assuming it's a chipmunk, but I might be surprised and it will be something completely random like a snake or something lol. But I don't think snakes eat peanuts.
No catch yet. The weather cooled down to the seasonal norm, so it's probably hibernating more now. I wonder if playing Justin Bieber or Celine Dion in the attic will wake it up, though it's probably going to just kill itself and I'll have to deal with the smell.

NEW HAVEN -- A man who was upset about his car being repossessed had bigger problems to contend with Saturday after he failed to heed police warnings that he take the matter up with the finance company rather than the car lot, police said.
Officer David Murgo was sent a second time to Lucky's 7's Auto Sales, 23 Bernard Road, just before noon. He had been sent there earlier in his shift after someone reported that a man was there waiting for the business to open, said police officer David Hartman.
The man, identified as Richard Brown, allegedly wasn't pleased that his car had been repossessed, Hartman said. Murgo warned him to stay away, but Brown allegedly didn't heed the warning.
When Murgo arrived the second time, Lucky 7 owner Brian Page met him and said Brown came in, was upset about the repossession, wouldn't listen to him, was screaming in his face, knocked his hat from his head and raised his fists at him, Hartman said.
Page told police that Brown then pulled out a small black object and after aiming it toward him, said he was going to Taser him. Brown allegedly activated the device a couple times and demonstrated it was on.
Brown turned over the 'stun-gun,' which was not a Taser brand device, to Murgo and was arrested and charged with carrying a dangerous weapon, second degree threatening and breach of peace, Hartman said.

Run Run Shaw, father of the kung fu film, dies aged 106
AFP Wednesday, January 8, 2014, 12:29 am TWN
HONG KONG--Run Run Shaw, the billionaire film pioneer hailed as the inventor of the kung fu genre and who launched a media empire that stretched from Hong Kong to Hollywood, died Tuesday at the age of 106.
The colorful mogul, whose flagship Shaw Brothers Studio helped shape Asian cinema in the 20th century and influenced the films of directors such as Quentin Tarantino, passed away at his home in Hong Kong.
Shaw, listed by Forbes as a billionaire, was also a generous philanthropist who was knighted by Britain's Queen Elizabeth in 1977 for his public service as a long-time backer of the Red Cross.
He co-produced Ridley Scott's 1982 cult hit "Blade Runner," and his studio's kung fu films became genre-defining — but he famously missed out on signing Bruce Lee following failed talks over remuneration.
Lee instead joined Golden Harvest, a Hong Kong-based production house founded by Shaw's former employee Raymond Chow, which propelled the martial arts icon to international stardom.
Shaw and his older brother Runme first founded a film production house in Shanghai in 1927, before moving in to Hong Kong and Singapore.
Shaw Brothers Studio has since produced around 1,000 titles, including "The 36th Chamber of Shaolin" and "Five Fingers of Death."
The studio, which mostly produced Chinese-language films, dominated Hong Kong's "Movie Town," and bred local directors — some of whom would later reach the top of their industry in Hollywood, such as John Woo.
Hong Kong actor Gordon Liu, who appeared in multiple Shaw films, played the stereotypical Shaw-esque kung fu master Pai Mei in Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill: Volume 2."
Kung fu film fans took to Twitter to pay their respects Tuesday. "Without Run Run Shaw there would be no Quentin Tarantino or Wu Tang Clan," New York City-based user LenRoQ tweeted.
"RIP Sir Run Run Shaw. Thank you for all those Saturday afternoons of Kung fu," Victor DeAnda from Philadelphia tweeted.
In 1967 Shaw helped found Hong Kong broadcaster TVB, whose sitcoms, variety shows and soap operas became immensely popular among the Chinese diaspora in Southeast Asia, putting the former British colony on the global entertainment map.
Silver screen mega-stars such as Chow Yuen-fat, Tony Leung, Stephen Chow and Andy Lau all had their big breaks on TVB television dramas in the 1980s before switching to movies.
Shaw was born in Ningbo, in Zhejiang province of mainland China, in 1907. He was nicknamed "Uncle Six" as he was the sixth of seven siblings.
He had an affection for Rolls Royce vehicles, and was often pictured accompanied by glamorous actresses at glittering social events.
He was famously reported as saying that he and his brother had buried up to US$4 million in gold, jewelry and cash in their garden before the Japanese invaded Singapore during World War II. "After the war we were still rich," he said.
Shaw was also the backer of the US$1 million Shaw Prize, often referred to as the Nobel Prize of Asia.

Shawn Flarida also crossed the $3 million earnings mark. Flarida, Springfield, Ohio, is the only rider to have reached that level of earnings. He and Tim McQuay, who rode the Open Champion, were the only riders to have reached $2 million in reining earnings.
Shining Spark (Genuine Doc x Diamonds Sparkle x Mr Diamond Dude), owned by Carol Rose, Gainesville, Texas, is the only stallion to have reached $2 million sire status in both the NRHA and NRCHA. He was an NRHA Futurity Open finalist in 1992, shown by Bob Loomis, and the 1993 AQHA World Champion in Junior Reining and the 1994 NRHA Derby Open Champion, shown by McQuay. He went into the NRHA Futurity with his get earning $2,851,367, according to NRHA records through Nov. 2.
Shining N Sassy (out of Sassy O Lena by Doc O'Lena), shown by McQuay for Rose, earned $150,000 for her Open Championship.
Other horses also contributed to Shining Spark's newest milestone. Kitas Spark, shown by Todd Bergen for Arcese Quarter Horses USA, Weatherford, Texas, placed 12th and earned $22,222. Spark N Whiz, shown by Duane Latimer and also owned by Arcese Quarter Horses USA, placed 13th and earned $19,753.
In the Limited Open finals, Sir Shiner was shown by Adam Johnson for Rose, placing sixth and earning $2,894.
Wimpys Little Step (Nu Chex To Cash x Leolita Step x Forty Seven) had a brief but extremely successful show career. In 2002, as a 3-year-old, he won the All American Quarter Horse Congress Futurity and the New Tradition Futurity before heading to Oklahoma City and claiming the Futurity Open Championship with Flarida riding for owner Mark Schols, College Grove, Tenn. The stallion earned $185,756 in those three shows and then was retired to the breeding barn.
From his first foal crop, Wimpys Little Step sired an NRHA Futurity Champion, Wimpys Little Chic, who won the event in 2007 with Flarida showing for Arcese Quarter Horses USA. The mare, out of Collena Chic Olena by Smart Chic Olena, has earned $327,207 and is the only horse to sweep reining's "Triple Crown" – the NRHA Futurity, National Reining Breeders Classic and NRHA Derby. She is the leading get of Wimpys Little Step, whose first foal crop has earned in excess of $760,000.
At the 2008 NRHA Futurity, Wimpys Little Step was represented by two horses in the Open finals: Out Shinin Wimpy (out of Shinaka by Shining Spark), ridden by Jordan Larson for Dorminy Plantation, Fitzgerald, Ga., to 10th place and $24,073; and Wimpys Red Berry (out of Custom Red Berry by Custom Crome), shown by Brent Wright and owned by Wimpys Red Berry Partnership, Maysville, Okla., to 13th place and earnings of $19,753.
The stallion also was represented in the Intermediate Open and Limited Open finals. Wimpys Minx (out of Cee Carmis Minx by Minx Cee) was shown by Brent Loseke for Green Valley Partners, Aubrey, Texas, to fourth in the Intermediate Open for earnings of $13,906. In the Limited Open, Wimpys Little Step get took first and second place. The Champion was Got Wimpys Mark (out of Gotta Marker Parker by Doc N Jose), shown by Trevor Dare for Albert Hawa Sarquis, Puerta De Hierro, Mexico; and the Reserve Champion was Lil Star Stepper (out of Starlights Slipper by Gallo Del Cielo), ridden by Roy Van Der Hoeven for Green Valley Ranch, Aubrey, Texas.
The Intermediate Non-Pro also was dominated by the stallion. Tish Fappani earned the Championship on Crome Plated Step (out of Crome Kist Dun It by Crome Plated Jac) and Lindsay Paul rode Wright On Wimpy (out of Tribeca Tucker by Lenas Wright On) to the Reserve Championship.
The first two foals of Smart Like Juice were born in 1999, and his first full crop was in 2000. His leading get is Juiced Up Doc, a 2000 gelding out of Jokes Startime by Joker Solano, with earnings of $136,119. He was successfully shown by Mike Flarida, Lee Schild (who owned the horse before Vazquez purchased him) and Vazquez.
At the NRHA Futurity, Smart Like Juice was well-represented in the Open and Non-Pro. Gorgeous Like A Star (out of Hustle Up A Star by Grays Starlight) was shown by Craig Schmersal for Greg Hill, Huron, Ohio, to fifth place in the Open, and earned $50,616. Little Lenas Solano (out of Get Down Sassy Sue by Joker Solano) placed 10th in the Intermediate Open finals, shown by Deon Locke for Reggie Dowell, Greenview, Ill., to earn $5,134. Two other Smart Like Juice get, both owned by Smart Like Juice Inc. – All Juiced Up (out of Come On And Dance by Reminic), shown by Bryant Pace, and Agaze Juice (out of Lena Del Cielo by Gallo Del Cielo), shown by Sam Smith – also earned money in the finals.
Vazquez showed two horses to tie for 11th place in the Non-Pro finals: SLJ I Like It Ruf (out of Ruf Catalyst by Lil Ruf Peppy) and SLJ Dun Juiced Up (out of Some Kind Of Dun It by Hollywood Dun It). They earned $4,740 each. Vazquez and SLJ I Like It Ruf also earned money in the first go-round.
At the NRHA Futurity this year, Flarida rode two horses to the Open finals. Aboard Whizs Chic A Dee (West Coast Whiz x Chic A Dee Hickory x Smart Chic Olena), owned by Arcese Quarter Horses USA, he placed seventh and earned $41,974. He also placed 24th on Skid Whiz (Topsail Whiz x Miss Solano Twist x Heza New Twist), owned by Bob Loomis Quarter Horses, Marietta, Okla., and added $11,358 to his record.
Flarida grew up riding reining horses, thanks to the influence of his parents, Bill and Betty. Before establishing his own training business, he worked for his brother, Mike, who has won the NRHA Futurity twice (in 1993 on Custom Crome and in 1996 on Whizard Jac). Flarida and his wife, Michele, have three children: Cody, 13; Courtney, 7; and Sam, 5.

I made the huge mistake of buying a Galco M.O.B. holster for my XD40sc. It's a beautiful black leather holster, but it's 100% a pain in the ass... well, and back. Aside from a horrible position, the clip that retains against the belt is nearly 2"s.. I have a sturdy 1.5" belt, so for the holster to continually lean to one side was nerve racking and irritating.. I sat in business meetings with the gun resting between the back of the chair and the bottom of the chair, with a serious and concerning lean, just praying that it didn't unclip and fall off my belt completely.
I went Supertuck and have never looked back.. With the occassional Serpa useage..

17 July, 2013: A YouTube video owned by Kaye Polline has recently revealed the vitiligo causes, symptoms and treatments. The said video, which can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75NjsjNDZbM , is designed to raise people's awareness about the things concerning vitiligo.
With a combination of text and photos, the video lucidly explains that vitiligo is a type of skin pigmentation disorder in which melanocytes are destroyed. It is characterized by white large patches in the different body parts. The video has also shown that the said patches appear on the retina and the mucous membranes and that the hair that grows on affected areas turn white.
According to the video, vitiligo's cause is unknown, but researchers and doctors have a variety of theories. They posit that people with the disorder inherit three genes making them predisposed to depigmentation. However, the most accepted view is that skin depigmentation occurs simply because vitiligo is a type of autoimmune disease – a disease in which the immune system negatively acts in response against the body's own tissues and organs. The human body produces cytokines that, in the disorder, alter their pigment-producing cells, thus causing the said cells to die.
Another cited scientific theory of the video about the occurrence of vitiligo is that melanocytes obliterate themselves. On the other hand, it reveals the report of some people that emotional distress or sunburn can trigger vitiligo. However, the said events have not been proven yet by experts.
To help people suffering from vitiligo, the video also explains that there are a few ways on how to alter its appearance without fully addressing its causes. If the condition is mild, the patches can be hidden with cosmetics. However, if it is in its severe stage, sufferers can resort to UVB narrowband phototherapy. The video shows that exposure to UVB light comes from a UVB narrowband lamp that provides a 311-313 nanometer wavelength. The lamp's power is low and no heat is emitted. Some people report that its success rate in adults and children is high, especially when the spots are located on the neck and face. However, the frequency of the treatment ranges from 2-3 every week with a regular increase in exposure every succeeding session.
It is expected that the information presented in the video will be able to help people with vitiligo and encourage them to see a dermatologist for consultation and treatment.

BeschreibungSecurity, Citizenship and Human Rights examines counter-terrorism, immigration, citizenship, human rights, 'equalities' and the shifting discourses of 'shared values' and human rights in contemporary Britain. The book argues that British citizenship and human rights policy is being remade and remoulded around public security and that this process could be detrimental to 'our' sense of citizenship, shared values and commitment to human rights.

Tracking emergent discourses of 'public' safety and security...McGhee shows the role of rights in covering over a certain 'value trouble' - in which the contents and constraints of British national values can be seen to be in crisis.

Update: Apple Announces Dividend for Q4, $10B Share Repurchase for 2013; Closes Above $600

Apple plans to use $45 billion of its cash reserves over the next three years
It's no secret that Apple is a cash machine. The company rakes in billions of dollars thanks to a legion of loyal fans that lineup hours in advance to purchase its latest and greatest phones and
. The company has also seen a surge in its traditional PC business thanks to strong sales of its MacBook Pro/MacBook Air lineup of notebooks and iMac all-in-one desktop computers.
In late January, Apple reported profit of $13 billion on revenues of $46 billion for
fiscal Q1 2012
. The company saw its
stock price cross the $500/share threshold
in early February, making it worth more than Microsoft and Google combined. More recently,
has danced with the $600/share mark. In addition, Apple has
roughly $100 billion in cash/securities on hand
– a figure that CEO Tim Cook said is "more than we need to run the company."
Apple CEO Tim Cook [Source: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg]
This morning, the company announced a $10 billion stock buyback program that will start in fiscal 2013. The buyback will take place over the course of three years with the primary goal being to "[neutralize] the impact of dilution from future employee equity grants and employee stock purchase programs."
A more immediate action being taking place is a quarterly dividend starting in fiscal Q4 2012. The quarterly dividend will equal $2.65/share.
"Even with these investments, we can maintain a war chest for strategic opportunities and have plenty of cash to run our business. So we are going to initiate a dividend and share repurchase program," said Cook.
According to CFO Peter Oppenheimer, these programs will burn through $45 billion of Apple's cash reserves over the next three years.

Here's a statistic that caught me off guard: according to IDC Healthcare Insights, clinicians on average use 6.4 mobile
devices in a day. That stat, courtesy of HIT Consultant, underscores the need for a smart and thorough security policy for clinicians who use their own devices at work.
Increasingly, healthcare organizations are crafting security policies for BYOD, but they vary greatly in how much such devices are allowed to access the hospital network, which hospital applications they can access and which devices can access the Internet, HIT Consultant notes.
However, according to Andrew Shearer, CTO at Care Thread, there's some do's and don'ts which should be common to all BYOD programs. Here's some thoughts from Shearer, below.

Perfect! Susie was so kind in answering all my questions and getting my custom bouquet just right... Thank you so much, I will order from them again!
Malinda Holmes on May 23, 2017
Beautiful, I can't wait to use in my wedding!
Creating beautiful bouquets is my passion!
We receive and give flowers for almost every occasion, however for weddings, flowers hold a very special meaning. I am delighted to assist brides with choosing flowers for the most important day of their lives & then creating them into beautiful wedding bouquets. I design with high quality silk & real touch flowers, as well as locally design for fresh flower weddings. I absolutely love what I do and view it is a great compliment to be chosen as your florist!
I started as a floral designer working with fresh and silk flowers in a small town flower shop. Through the years I was drawn to weddings and soon discovered this to be my specialty, so now I design for weddings only. With the ever growing trend for destination weddings as well as brides desiring a silk wedding bouquet as a memorable keepsake, I was encouraged to open my Etsy store and share my bouquets and accessories with brides everywhere.
Bride in Bloom Wedding designs have been featured in the following Wedding magazines: The wedding planner U.K 2015 spring and summer editions, Occasions weddings 2014 fall edition as well as Wedding row.
Happy shopping! Hope you find something you just love =)

NEW YORK—I was interested to hear in Louisville that the Democratic trend seemed very visible in the local elections this year. Towns went Democratic that had not done so in years; and if this is any indication of what might happen next year, the Democrats can feel very hopeful. Even Indiana shows this Democratic trend, and in Philadelphia Mr. Dilworth was reelected Mayor by a great majority. While no one can claim that this is more than a trend, still I think it is a very encouraging one for those of us who believe that it is important for the country to return to Democratic leadership.
Early Thursday morning after a night flight I returned to my own home to face much mail on my desk, but glad as always to be home.
This week has been set aside as Children's Book Week, and I am told there are more large book fairs in major cities scattered throughout the country than ever before. This is interesting because it shows that parents and children are becoming conscious of the rich and varied literature available for children and want to see what is suitable for each child in the family. There are many different tastes in every young family. If the parents are wise and allow the children to begin choosing books which become a part of their own library in their own rooms, or in their joint playrooms, it is interesting to see how the interests of one child communicate themselves to the others. Gradually the children have a variety of interests, for books tend to develop the rounded personality which is what we want for all our children.
I would like to mention also a booklet sent me the other day by Thomas J. Watson called "The Story of New York—An Island Fantasy." The cover is the incredible New York skyline, and the whole booklet is of course made up of pictures covering every phase of interest. It is published by Thomas J. Watson, who dedicated it to Miss Dorothy Shaver "in appreciation for what she has done for all of us in N.Y. through the annual Lord and Taylor Award Luncheon. Those present at the latest luncheon were given a panorama of N.Y.C. which increased our appreciation of our city and extended and broadened our vision of its challenging possibilities."
In publishing this booklet Mr. Watson has done a service to all of us living in New York. I am one of the relatively few residents who are native New Yorkers, and so I love this city and am grateful to all who make it a better city in which to live. I shall keep this book in my library as a reminder of how much we have to be grateful for.

When the gun is fired (or cycled by hand), the rearward motion of the slide causes the barrel to rotate in position. This supposedly causes less felt recoil and is supposed to be more accurate. I think the less felt recoil is probably more noticeable with the 40S&W model than it is with my 9mm model. It's a very cool design. I'll have to try to get a picture of the barrel (maybe tomorrow) and you will see exactly what I'm talking about. The slide and barrel are in constant contact and alignment.

Calculate the area of a triangle if it has length of legs as 6cmm, 8cm and 10cm.
2 Answers | Add Yours
Since the length of the three sides of the triangle are given, to determine its area, apply Heron's formula.
where a, b and c are the sides of the triangle, and s is half of its perimeter.
Hence, the area of the triangle is `24 cm^2` .
Here we must look at the length closely. We can find that they are combined in the following manner.
`6^2+8^2 = 10^2`
This means the triangle is a right triangle.
The area of the right triangle is given by;
A = 1/2(product of leg length except hypotenuse)
So the area of the triangle can be given as;
`A = 1/2xx6xx8`
`A = 24cm^2`
So the area of the triangle given is `24cm^2` .

2013 Rav4 Good fit. Good choice
Reviewed By James F (Troy, OH) Reviewed for a 2013 Toyota RAV4 —9/13/2016 4:47 AM
The mats fit fine, and should keep the winter grime from reaching the carpets. We just returned from vacation and the mats collected all the sand from our shoes. It will be easy to vacuum out. The drivers side accommodates the mat hold downs which keeps it in place. The price is slightly higher than the "off the shelf" mats I had previously. I like the black color in my car.

A half mile into the woods is a small clearing. The clearing is created by a large area of granite, upon which vegetation can not grow. There is a small stream that starts at the top of the granite swath. The water flow changes many times before leaving the granite for more vegetation. This is a close-up recording of water flowing quickly over a bump of rock, which occurs near the top of the granite slab. Recorded with a Zoom H4 on 25 July 2007 near Rosendale, NY, USA.

I'm using a touchscreen for dsi xl, and the thickness is just fine. I'm thinking that the other people who posted above maybe didn't realise that the small piece of black plastic must slide backwards to lock the ribbon in.

I've seen better looking welds, but it seems strong. I think it would make a killer rat frame for the build off….it has a nice looking badge with good color, truss rod bracket. I have it listed on the For Sale forum for $40. Open to interesting trades. About the only thing I am really looking for is maybe a tanklight for my '63 Huffy tank or a set of truss rods for a 40s Huffman

Search efforts scaled back for drowning victim
MISSOULA, Mont. - Officials are scaling back their search for Anthony Bachman, a Missoula man who drowned in Middle Thompson Lake over the weekend.
Search efforts underway since Saturday evening have turned up empty.
Bachman, 62, is said to have been drinking before he fell off a pontoon boat and drowned in the lake southeast of Libby, in northwest Montana. The incident happened around 6 p.m. Saturday. Bachman was not wearing a life jacket.
Lincoln County Sheriff Roby Bowe released an update that as search efforts are scaled back, they will continue to use alternate resources to try to locate Bachman's body.
Officials from Flathead County and Fish, Wildlife and Parks had aided in the search, along with divers using sonar and underwater cameras.
The lake is deep and murky, with very rocky terrain, which has been challenging for searchers.

Super termite eating school; building collapse feared
NAPOLEONVILLE - Two schools are under attack from a termite that has eaten nearly half a gymnasium.
The gym at Napoleonville Primary has been shut down after a colony of Formosan Subterranean Termite infested the building. The termite is known for destroying homes and eating any untreated woods in its path.
"It had a lot of damage near the ground," LSU Entomologist Dennis Ring said. "If nothing is done, now this is years off, eventually the building will collapse."
Some of the wood that remains is crumbling and safety crews have already replaced two support beams.
The nearly 400 students at this school need the gym fixed, according to Assumption Parish School Superintendent Earl Martinez. But doing so will cost a quarter to a half million dollars.
"We've got it, but financially things are tight so it's hard to spend that money. But it's something that is necessary because that particular school has no cafeteria it has no auditorium. That's the only meeting place for these kids and the only place for those kids to have PE," Martinez said.
The termites have not migrated to the rest of the school.
Luckily, the situation is not so severe at another infestation site. Belle Rose Middle School's termite situation is contained to a small part of the school and officials don't think that is a concern.
Prior to these incidents, the district did not have regular pest control at any Assumption Parish schools.
"I don't think we had any pest control on the gym itself but now that we have termite damage we are going to do pest control for the whole school," Martinez said. "Maybe we need to do it for all of our buildings because this is the first incidents we've run into with termites."
At Wednesday night's district meeting, school board members decided to get estimates on fixing the building or demolishing it and building an entire new gym.

Paul Krugman continues his series on the lack of government spending under the Obama administration. I don't think he hits the point quite hard enough that when economists say government spending they mean government consumption and investment. Government outlays are the sum of all checks the government writes.
However, many of those checks are just pass-throughs: collect from person A, distribute to person B. At the end of the day the money is still spent by individuals on things that they themselves want. Such funds are not subject to the Friedman critique:
Nobody spends somebody else's money as carefully as he spends his own. Nobody uses somebody else's resources as carefully as he uses his own. So if you want efficiency and effectiveness, if you want knowledge to be properly utilized, you have to do it through the means of private property.
So what we really want to look at is Federal Government Consumption and Investment. Lets check the tape:
The Long View
This is with a log-scale. Why logs? Because with logs a straight line means a constant growth rate. In a world where population and productivity are always growing, virtually any long economic series is going to look like a giant swoosh. That's just because America is much bigger now than it was in the 50s.
As you can see the growth has been pretty steady accept for that flat period during the 90s. It becomes immediately clear why that it is when you think of what the government actually spends money on. That flat period is the peace dividend.
Now lets take a closer look at recent times
Not much of a discernable trend that I can see. Maybe a bit of a slow down around 2007. So, far this is largely in concert with Krugman's point.
However, I want to make a different one as well. If I remember correctly we passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This chart includes not only government consumption but government investment – roads, bridges, etc.
I don't see a lot of reinvestment going on. This is because there isn't much. There isn't much because it is hard for the government to spend money. Lots of studies have to be done. Lists have to be prioritized. Contracts have to be bid out. Lots of anti-corruption hoops have to be jumped through.
In the end the Federal government spends money like men with benign prostatic hyperplasia urinate, slowly and weakly. What the economy needs is flomax.
There are, however, two institutions that do have to power to deliver enormous funds on demand: the Federal Reserve and IRS. I have obviously been focused on the former, but there is a role for the later.
With the debate over the Bush tax cuts looming I am not sure what can be done before the election. However, when the election is over, there are numerous options for moving tons of money via the IRS.
The first is of course a payroll tax holiday. Its big, its bold and it moves money right into the hands of consumers and small businesses. Yes, it moves money right into the hands of the very large businesses that are sitting on cash.
However, it does give them an incentive to hire additional workers and it allows you to move lots of money without having to get into the weeds of favoring this over that.
Another option is a radical increase in the standard deduction. I believe in bold yet, simple measures and so I don't see a problem with increasing it by a factor of ten. This accomplishes several goals.
First, it gets money into the hands of consumers. Its our helicopter drop.
Second, it avoids any debate later over whether this should be the new tax structure. No one is going to suggest that a standard deduction of 100K should last forever.
Now, doesn't this run afoul of the permanent income hypothesis? If its temporary then people will save it, no?
I am not so sure that the PIH holds in a recession like this. Unless we think that the massive phase shift we got in retail sales is because people suddenly downgraded their entire future income stream by 10% there is a scramble for liquidity going on here. This is precisely what we will help undue.
In any case, however, even if people save it, that's not the worst thing in the world. It takes private debt and makes it public debt. This helps repair household balance sheets. Its a nationwide bailout, but its not targeted at people who got in to deep into debt, everyone gets it.

Is it just me, or does Garrosh look like he's been pumping up on steroids?
interested in seeing what a male succubus, female voidwalker, and female fel guard will look like....gonna be interesting.
I get some serious bad images trying to imagine a male succubi, female felguard on the other hand.... rawr! :3
... will we see a Voidwalker in a skirt?
I think the incubus ( male version of the succubus. ) would look like The Gimp from pulp fiction. I can imagine the warlock saying "bring out the gimp" when summoning.
I am soooo much happier being the object of pseudo-lesbian succubus love than having some horrific thrusting incubus forced upon me :SBlizz, priorities, srsly :S
Male succubi. nuff said ^.^giggity.
nor will the class balance team be designing new gender models for your demons. ;)"Hey guys, the incubus is totally underpowered. We need you to buff the muscle tone, facial expression, voice masculinity, and uh... his "buff," if you catch what I'm saying. Don't worry, he'll still be balanced with the succubus."
I found a female Voidwalker:
Well interesting addition Blizzard, but I'm more excited for high polygonal player models rather than incubi and void with boobs :)Really there are much better things to do with wow and what are players expecting and waiting for.Well the 1st April armor dyes would be great addition.
I wonder what a female voidwalker will sound like....
While I appreciate that having more options for warlock pets is a neat thing, why not work on new art they've been talking about doing for a long time, like redoing druid swim and travel forms? None of the demon art is as bad as those. (I mean really, a sabertooth sea lion?)

I eventually decided to pull my socks up and get out of town, and travel to the Island of Koh Samui. It took at total of 19 hours of travelling in 3 busses, 1 boat, and a taxi to the beach hut.
The V.I.P bus from Bangkok was a half full, and the seat reclined back almost touching the lap of the person sitting behind. It boasted air conditioning, but there was a problem. In Thailand there are 2 settings. 1: on full, or 2: off. They never switch it off. But then the driver was ok, having a thick skiing coat on. After 12 hours of shivering my way down to the boat port, we had a 2 hr wait for it to depart. It was a old looking boat they liked to call "express"
As soon as everybody got on the boat we set off for Samui
There must have been about 60 people sitting inside the boat, all in complete silence, (you could have heard a pin drop!) just staring out at the windows trying not to look worried. The only sound to be heard was of nearby travellers being sea sick, and the crunching sound of the wood bending as another wave crashed into the side of the boat, letting water seep in through the gaps in the windows.
The engines started again, and i breathed a sigh of relief, then 10 minutes later the engines cut out again. This happened about 8 times.
I did consider putting one of the (what looked like used) crumbling life jackets, but thought that if the boat did sink, there would probably be little chance of climbing out one of the windows anyway.
Eventually the boat made it to Koh Samui in one piece, and i kissed the ground as soon as i got off the boat. The "express" boat was supposed to travel on to the next island of Koh Phangan, but was forced to stop in Samui because of the bad weather.
I got a share taxi to the beach resort of Lamia, where i have found a hut by the beach for 150 Baht a night ($3) with fan and attached bathroom included.
19 hours it's taken to get here, and I'm completley knackered.
I plan to stay here for at least 2 weeks before chancing the trip back to Bangkok.
What perfect place to "recharge" the batteries... drinking a chilled beer by the beach!!

Repubs and the Beetlejuice football players
Sat, Jan 19, 2013 at 9:35 AM by Dave Winer.
There's a group of football players in the wonderful Tim Burton movie
, one of whom delivers a great line, which
as follows. "Hey coach, I don't think we survived that crash." I don't to spoil it any more than I have to, but it's funny in the context it's delivered in. :-)
I was reminded of this line when I read about the House Republicans finally
that they are the minority party. It's as if Cantor said to Boehnoer "Hey boss, I don't think we survived the election."
Now maybe we can resume having some semblance of government, the voters having spoken, and finally the Republicans having heard.

Ric told me that some of you had heard about my recent accident and that I should check in here.
The story: Pretty simple. I rode motorcycles as well; specifically, I rode sport bikes. I was ridine June 1st in San Francisco where I live and a lady took and unprotected left. From what I can tell from the bike (I have no memory of it) I didn't even have a chance to hit the brakes. I hit her quarter panel and went flying. 100% her fault by her statement to police and witnesses.
Result: ICU for 2 weeks in coma, given 15% chance to live. Broke two top ribs on right, top rib on left, left shoulderblade, backbone T5, jaw in 3 places and lots of little cracks else where. I had a partial hemotoma in my right Carotid Artery and sever stretching of it which they were pretty sure was going to pop and kill me as that would mean severe loss of blood to brain. Also mt right Brachial lPlexus (all nerves to shoulder and arm) was heavily damaged and tore out of spinal cord at C7 and partialy at C6. Oh and a collapsed lung.
I spent 6 weeks in the hospital and 11 doing nothing. I get out of by back brace next week. The Carotid Artery is still questionable but they don't want to do a CT scan until October because of how much radiation I've already had. I take blood thinners to ward off a stroke. My right arm has been a challenge and I found that only about five surgeons in the US are experienced in fixing it. Once it is worked on, it will take about 1.5 years for my upper arm muscles to come back and my right hand probably never. I will never ride a motorcycle or be able to race cars again.
Anyway, thats the story. . . . nothing to do with foxes so I'lll add one thing. Jamie ya never got that fox I have in NY, SOMEONE should take it for parts and use that 16v

Sicelo Sithole
From My Perspective - Poem by Sicelo Sithole
From my perspective
I believe that Tupac Shakur was a victim of racism
So as Nelson Mandela, who fought through courage towards the bright light
Tupac was not just a rapper who stood up for young Black males
But an icon to me, a prophet and a voice of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King
And all the unmentioned prophets
There are many examples of such prophets, the other one Is Biko
He is the hero of me, although we still fight the battle within the minds black
Away from the now foreseen 'Tribal racism'
I remember the time they released Mandela from jail
I was eight years old,
That was a good day for me.
I also remember the time they assassinated Chris Hani
It was just after my birthday, April the 9th
That was a sad day for me
Although all the true stories are never told
My perceptive forever hold
Your perspectives forever hold
After all, this is Africa the truth here is served dead and cold

Cinto Stacking Chair, 4-Leg Base by Humanscale
Cinto shatters the number one drawback that plagues most stacking chairs-it's comfortable.
Crafted by the Humanscale Design Studio, the Cinto Chair has a host of ergonomic seating features that make it stand out in the world of stacking chairs.
- Floating Backrest Technology
The word "Cinto" is actually Spanish for "belt". A prominent feature of this chair is the floating backrest, which viewed from the back, resembles a belt. This ergonomic lumbar support flexes and adjusts to the movements of the sitter and requires no adjustments
- Stress-Relief Cross-Slits
The seat pan of the Cinto Chair is divided into two regions positioned around the sitting bones. A close look at the seat pan reveals symetric cross-slits cut into the dozens of vents spread across the seat and back. The innovative slits give under the weight of the sitter and reduce pressure across the entire seat pan.
- Unmatched Stacking Convenience
With a built-in handle, moving and stowing the Cinto Chair is a breeze. Up to six Cinto Chairs can be stacked at any given time, and up to 15 chairs can be stacked with the optional Cinto Dolly.
*The Cinto Chair belt comes in two colors- black for black Cinto Chairs and grey for all other colors.

Comments about Humanscale Cinto Chair:
I waited a long time for these chairs in RED and it was worth it. The red is a rich rosy red and they look fantastic. They are very comfortable and great for adding a bit of color and style to my kitchen table. I've mixed them with an old, very simple white oak oblong table. The only negative is that they sit a bit low at the table. Casters on them would have brought them up to a better height, but I didn't want wheels.
