The room of insanity
Short Story by: fairiegirl
Status: Finished
Genre: Fantasy
It was so cold i could see my breath. The floor beneath me was cold, mossy and made of stone. I looked at my hands. One was normal, the other looked as if it had been sliced off. It was warm and bloody. I reached up with my good hand and felt my hair, when i withdrew my hand it was covered in mud. My face was hard, frozen solid. It was like china, but i didnt look like a porcelian doll. I was ugly. I stared at the wall closely and found that it was covered with millions of black spiders. Suddenly they jumped onto my face, their webs making it impossible to scream. I heard the creak of a door opening. I looked up, it was the doctor i had come to hate, i realised i was in a white cushioned room. Its time for your medicine, the doctor said grinning. I screamed.

I am honoured to be the first to comment and you wanted my honnest opinion so here it is, I absolutely loved it! True it was short but hence short story, and the feelings were so strong that it made some full novels cry in it's shadow, it was brilliant and it was dark at the same time, it was like the perfect equlibrium in the world of writting.
To see these metaphors and analogies used so artfully in a story so captivating, exploring the dark recesses of insanity and the human mind, of feelings and how we think and see ourselves. To be in such a state of mind would be dreadful and you conveyed it very well, I could feel like I was the one with the china face and the sliced hand, perfect as ever my friend, this was art.
omygod! thanks alot now tonight i am going to dream about spiders on me!lol i love it by the way! the spider part really got me! i am scared of spiders!
I actually pictured it while reading. I liked it. Very good! =)
Hm, well done. It was very dark and deep, only for it to be a figment of her own imagination towards the end.
I could really picture exactly what was going on, I love the use of description.
wow.that was brilliant. are u sure ur 13 yrs. old. ur pretty good for a lil girl :) alot better then some 20 yrs. old ppl i kno. lol anyways. absolutely brilliant. it was the only thing i ever read was actually sorta disturbing, especially at the end. :) in a good way of course. anyways. keep me updated with more of your work. as i will for u. thanks. and much love to u irish girl
Woww. You are very lucky to have the writing skills that you do at your age. No doubt due to your love of reading :) keep it up and I guarantee you will be an amazing writer someday.
Wow amazing!. So intense, for such a short story that's amazing!. So beautiful and well put too!.
Oh and I loved.. no more like Adored! the darkness of it I love that in stories it gives them SO much thrill!.
This is a lot more effective if you picture it as if you're looking at your own hands.
I guess you weren't lying when you called a short story. But you packed a lot into that little paragraph. Call me a drama king, but after I read it, closed my eyes, pictured it... it gave me the chills. That's hard t do. Awesome job :)
One thing you need to watch out for is your capitalization of 'I'. I counted five times where you forgot to capitalize 'I'. (...i was in a small padded room, etc.)
Other than that, I see nothing to criticize. Short, concise, awesome. Nice job!
Even though its short its very detailed lol i luv it really great story

Medication adherence is essential to successful treatment of HIV/AIDS. Maintaining high adherence will likely prove a major challenge in the developing world—just as it has in developed nations. Given the large number of patients whose disease will progress if adherence is sub-optimal, research is urgently needed to determine patient-level behavioral barriers to adherence and the most effective and appropriate methods for assessing adherence in low-resource settings. The CGHD's research aims to improve adherence to medicines using innovative interventions such as using electronic pill counters and mobile telephones.

Torch Torch SUP Paddle 78in
From paddling under the glimmer of a full moon to cruising along pitch black ocean bays, the Torch 78in SUP Paddle not only brilliantly illuminates the path ahead for easy viewing and navigation, but it also projects up to 10 meters below water, lighting up wildlife, vegetation, and rocks under the surface. The paddle itself is highly efficient, with a carbon fiber shaft and glass filled nylon blade for powerful paddle strokes. 100 square inches of blade surface area ensures quick and easy forward locomotion, regardless of whether you're paddling along glassy lakes or wavy ocean bays. Featuring a powerful 720 lumen output and 150 degree beam projection, the Torch Paddle shines up to 45 meters above water for negotiating your SUP through the darkest of nights. Plus, its waterproof rubber seals and epoxied connections keep water from seeping through and compromising the paddle's electrical inner workings. It runs off 8 batteries for some 40 hours of nighttime fun.

10th National Conference on Science, Policy, and the Environment
Vision Statement
America and the world are facing a "perfect storm" of economic crisis and looming environmental catastrophe. In many ways, these crises have the same cause – living beyond our means with little thought for the future. The long term solutions may also be the same – transitioning to a healthy, sustainable, fair, low carbon economy.
There is currently a lot of attention to the idea of a "green economy." The Obama administration has already made steps in that direction. However, many questions remain:
What does it mean for an economy to be green?What does economic growth mean in a green economy?Can the US economy be green if other economies are not?What is a green workforce?What can people be employed to do in a green economy?Where will the future jobs be?Can there be green economies on a planet of 9 billion people?Can there be 9 billion people on Earth without green economies?How does one measure the "greenness of an economy?"__________________________How do we transform the US into a green economy?How can we help to transform the global economy into a green economy?Can a green economy be created piecemeal by activity within sectors, or by facility types e.g. hospitals and churches?What are the roles of science and technology in preparing for and transitioning to a green economy?How can entrepreneurship speed the transition from discovery to the marketplace?What are the roles of education and training?What is the role of "green infrastructure" and ecosystem goods and services to a green economy?__________________________
How does green investment and green jobs help with short-term economic recovery and long term economic transition?How do economic and educational institutions help to prepare people for green jobs?What should individuals do to prepare themselves? New employees? Current workers?What kinds of retraining are needed?
The outcome of the conference will be a set of recommendations on how to move towards a green economy in the US and in the world. These recommendations will be developed by multidisciplinary, multi-sectoral participants in concurrent breakout sessions on the key issues of environment and economy. The recommendations will be presented to the Obama Administration and to Congress, as well as to other key stakeholders.
An additional outcome of the conference will be more than 1000 scientists, students, educators, policymakers, managers, and other citizens who will have an increased understanding of the relationship between economy and environment and will be motivated to help develop solutions.
NCSE uses a multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral approach that engages involved scientists and decisionmakers from a wide range of organizations. Our style is very collaborative – we invite individuals and organizations to be full partners in developing the agenda and holding the conference. Our conferences are very interactive, including stellar speakers, topical symposia to explore issues in more depth, breakout sessions to develop recommendations on how to advance science and connect it with policy and decisionmaking.
Full agenda available online: http://ncseonline.org/conference/greeneconomy/cms.cfm?id=2836
The NCSE national conference is a place to explore these issues in both a short-term and long-term context. NCSE will engage leading thinkers and doers from a diversity of disciplines, sectors, and perspectives in a structured conversation about the meaning of the green economy and how investment in green education, research and jobs can help solve both the economic and environmental crises.
Our focus will be on solutions – development of a "greenprint" on how to achieve a sustainable economy. We will look at the role of science (including social and natural sciences as well as engineering) and its application to society in the development of a green society. We will look for opportunities for long-term win-win solutions that can both help the economy to recover in the short term and to be sustained in the long term.

Home > Low Salt/Sodium Recipes > Strawberry Topped Cheesecake
Strawberry Topped Cheesecake
Low Sodium Recipe
Strawberry Topped Cheesecake with a creamy cheese filling using cream and cottage cheeses in a graham crust. Topped with sliced strawberries.
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
4 teaspoons butter
2 8-ounce packages fat free cream cheese
1 cup fat free cottage cheese
1/4 cup fat free milk
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1-1/4 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon shredded lemon peel
3 eggs or 3/4 cup refrigerated or frozen egg substitute, thawed
1/4 cup fat free or light dairy sour cream
2 teaspoons fat free milk
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup sliced strawberries
Recipe Directions
In a small bowl stir together the graham cracker crumbs and melted margarine or butter. Press onto the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Set aside.
Cut up the cream cheese. In a large food processor bowl place the undrained cottage cheese and the 1/4-cup milk. Cover and process until smooth. Add cream cheese, the 3/4-cup sugar, the flour, 1-teaspoon of the vanilla, and the lemon peel. Cover; process until smooth. Add the eggs or egg product and process just until combined. Do not overprocess. Pour mixture into pan. Place on a baking sheet.
Bake in a 375-degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until set. Cool for 15 minutes. Using a narrow metal spatula, loosen the side of the cheesecake from pan. Cool 30 minutes more, then remove the side of pan. Cool completely. Cover and chill for at least four hours.
In a small bowl combine the sour cream, 2-teaspoons milk, the 1-teaspoon sugar, and the remaining vanilla. To serve, arrange berries on top of cheesecake; drizzle with sour cream mixture.
Recipe Note
To test for a perfectly baked, creamy cheesecake, gently shake the pan after the minimum baking time. The center should appear nearly set. If it still jiggles, bake it five minutes longer and test again.
Did you know - July 30 is National Cheesecake Day.

Home > Food Fitness Part One > Tips for The Low Fat Kitchen
Tips for The Low Fat Kitchen
Food Fitness. Nourish your body.
Try these tips for reducing fat in your daily diet and you may not even miss the original food ingredients!
- Use a lettuce leaf, thin tomato slice or mustard on a sandwich and forget the butter, margarine or mayonnaise. If you like a little zip, add some mustard.
- Leave out the oil and margarine many packaged foods recommend in the preparation.
- Try skim milk in food preparation and cooking. There is virtually no taste difference when it is combined with other ingredients.
- Substitute two egg whites for one whole egg in most recipes. The egg white has no fat or cholesterol.
- Reduce the amount of oils and fats called for in most recipes by about one-half, with no change in the final product.
- In muffins and quick breads, substitute non-sweetened applesauce or other mashed fruit in place of up to three-quarters of the oils and fats called for in the recipe.
- Vinegar can add snap to lower-calorie/lower-fat whipped salad dressing.
- A shaker of Butter Buds Sprinkles to your cupboard and table; contains the flavor of butter without the fat. Mash them into potatoes or use them on hot, steamy foods, such as pasta, rice or vegetables, to take the place of butter, oils or higher-calorie spreads.
- Reduce the fat per serving in your favorite casserole by adding more vegetables. For example, put more tomatoes and peppers in your chili; more mushrooms and less meat in your spaghetti sauce; and more celery and onion, and less mayonnaise in your tuna salad. Replace one of the meat or cheese layers in your lasagna with slices of zucchini squash. Salsa can stretch the calories and fat per serving in cheese dips, guacamole and potato toppings.
- Try buying lower-calorie ingredients. Replace the regular versions of salad dressings used to make pasta salads, spreads and dips with their lower-calorie counterparts. Purchase reduced-calorie soups to make reduced-calorie casseroles and noodle/rice mixtures.
- Always use nonstick cookware and baking sheets. Use cooking spray rather than oil or shortening to grease the pan.
Tips for healthier meal preparation:
- Bake, broil or grill foods on a rack to drain fat away. Try the "indirect heat" method of grilling by placing the food away from the heat source. This results in better flavor and juiciness, keeps the meats tender and reduces the risk of forming carcinogens in an overly browned or charred top layer of the meat.
- Stir-Fry. This is a popular cooking method because foods cook quickly, preserving precious nutrients. Use cooking spray in a pan or stainless stir-fry pan. Sprinkle the food with broth, soy sauce or water if it begins to stick.
- Steam vegetables, leaner meats and delicate foods like fish. Steaming is an overlooked cooking method, which deserves some time in the spotlight! Place the food to be steamed with desired seasonings on a rack over boiling water, or use an Oriental steamer (available in many specialty shops). No fat is necessary and the foods will not dry out.

- About
Jacob van Ruisdael is often regarded as the finest Dutch landscape artist of the seventeenth century, and as one of the most influential Dutch artists internationally at that time. Unlike many artists, he did not specialise in a particular landscape type, but painted a wide variety of subjects – including seascapes, townscapes and winter scenes – with equal passion and virtuosity. Instead of painting idyllic landscapes, Ruisdael charged his subjects with strong spiritual and moralising content. His best works combine high drama with a degree of realism, which makes his scenes appear familiar and believable.
Ruisdael was widely travelled in his own country and elsewhere in northern Europe, and the sights he saw fuelled his imagination. Such is the case with The watermill, the model for which has been identified as a type of mill used in the Veluwe region of the Netherlands, near Apeldoorn. The existence of a drawing by Ruisdael (Teylers Museum, Haarlem), also datable to c. 1660 and depicting the mill seen in the National Gallery of Victoria's painting, indicates that the artist sketched his subject in situ and then later juxtaposed it against a dramatically stormy sky. Ruisdael's compositions often included manmade structures as symbols of the impact of humanity on nature. In some paintings, however, the situation is reversed, as the artist shows ruins being completely overwhelmed by nature. The dilapidated state of this mill, and the way the vegetation is encroaching, suggest that nature will resist any attempt to control it.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) A grass fire in a parking area at a country music festival engulfed more than 20 vehicles, fire officials said. There were no injuries.
Authorities say that the cause of Saturday's fire is under investigation. The two-day Big State Festival at Texas World Speedway carried on with acts like the Lynyrd Skynyrd and Robert Earl Keen.
As John Boston of Austin parked on Saturday afternoon, he said he noticed smoke coming from under the car.
"I instantly knew what was going on and got back in the car to start it," Boston said. "When it wouldn't turn over, I just got out of there."
"It just caught so quick," said Becky Little, who was traveling with Boston. "We couldn't do anything about it."
Before fire trucks could arrive, the blaze had spread to almost every vehicle in the row.
Police estimated the first-day crowd at 30,000.
Sunday is the final day of this year's festival.

Shippers using CMA CGM on the North Europe-Middle East-India trade will face a container booking cancellation fee from June 1.
Such a move already has support on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers have been weighing options to strengthen Federal Maritime Commission safeguards against collusion among carriers in the world's three major VSAs.
Five have already been taken over and the remaining two are scheduled for delivery by the end of June.
Rapid growth in intra-Asia container volume unable to get rates up, which Drewry suggests may be a result of larger vessels being deployed on the trade.
There are signs that the liner shipping business is clawing its way back to profitability, but with the real impact of higher contract rates yet to be felt, it is too soon to say.
The US import trade from Asia returned to market fundamentals.
CMA CGM returned to the black in the first quarter.
Container shipping has reached a point where digitization has become a competitive necessity.
Spot rates on China-Europe and Asia-Mediterranean trades have continued to decline, defying carrier attempts to move prices in the opposite direction.
Roughly $4.6 billion is needed at East and Gulf coast ports to remedy pinch points in harbor infrastructure.

Docs Pro Plugs
Doc's Proplug Ear Plugs protect the ear by keeping a warm pocket of air in the canal and keeps most cold water out without impeding hearing and balance. The Scott's valve, a hole vent in the inner diaphragm, allows the transfer of air and thus sound waves and differences in air pressure while water does not pass through the hole in wipeouts. The surface water tension on the outside of the valve keeps the water out, but lets air and voice in. Anyone with severe narrowing of the ear canal can avoid frequent water blockage by wearing Proplugs. In some cases, surfer's ear can only be cured through surgery. However, the latest research suggests that severe exostosis can be slowed by keeping the ears religiously warm around the clock with plugs and woolensilk head bands, hats, or hoods, especially when sleeping at night.

12 reviews | 3.3 out of 5
Bought for a very disappointed eight year old, that likes green.. really hard to find a green plain helmet. Had a worn out, very well made, blue/black Bell helmet one size smaller, this one was cheaper, and somewhat green, so decided to try it.
Never fit properly, straps didn't sit right or proper no matter what you did, or how you adjusted it, more time was used adjusting it then actually wearing it. He also said it felt very uncomfortable. Entire strap/plastic housing fell off/became unglued a few days later from the foam shell.
This helmet purchased for my son, melted in the sun within one week of purchasing it.
It would only need a light in the back to be perfect for this price.
My kid loves the design
The helmet appears to have been "melted" when it was molded and the structure has come apart with in 2 weeks of receiving. We've gorilla glued it back together to enable my son to use it.
The helmet was fine, but the stickers that were put on it for my site to store pick up stuck on the helmet and it took me 30 minutes to get all of the white adhesive off the helmet. Very frustrating and definitely affected my focus on the helmet, quality, etc. as I just wanted to return the entire pick up.
The plastic that is around the edge of the helmet came off and I had to glue it because it was connected to the ratchet adjuster in the back. This happened the first time my son wore the helmet.
Descent for the price only fault was some of the linear Velcro bunched and Not straight however just remove and reinstall
My nephew loves his new helmet. He even request to ride in the car with it on to the park.
My daughter loves the fit and style. Lightweight and great color scheme as well.
Ordered the Mongoose helmet but ordered red stripes instead of the green.

Tracktrk.net Description
The Tracktrk.net website is associated closely with browser hijackers. These types of components receive their names because they essentially hijack the victim's Web browser, forcing it to visit websites like Tracktrk.net repeatedly. Browser hijackers associated with Tracktrk.net may make unwanted changes to the affected Web browser's settings that involve Tracktrk.net. For example, these Potentially Unwanted Programs may change the affected Web browser's home page to Tracktrk.net or set Tracktrk.net as the affected Web browser's search engine.
It is crucial to know that symptoms related to Tracktrk.net may not mean that a threat infection is installed on your computer. Rather, Tracktrk.net is usually associated with Potentially Unwanted Programs that may have many threat-like symptoms but that are less risky or difficult to remove than most threats. If you are experiencing problems associated with Tracktrk.net, security researchers advise using a reliable security program to scan your computer to ensure that Tracktrk.net has not exposed your computer to more unsafe content, however.
Preventing Symptoms Associated with Tracktrk.net
Most PUPs associated with Tracktrk.net may be uninstalled using normal software removal methods. However, PUPs associated with Tracktrk.net may cause browser redirects and pop-up windows that may expose your Web browser or computer to other potentially unsafe content. More importantly, PUPs linked to Tracktrk.net will seldom attack alone, meaning that if one is present on your computer, this increases the likelihood of the presence of other, similar content exponentially.
PUPs associated with Tracktrk.net are bundled often with low quality freeware. In most cases, this means that computer users install them without realizing it. However, you can prevent these types of components from being installed by following the installation process of any new software carefully and ensuring that only the files you want are being installed by using custom install and opting out of any unnecessary components.
Infected with Tracktrk.net? Scan Your PC for FreeDownload SpyHunter's Spyware Scanner
to Detect Tracktrk.net * SpyHunter's free version is only for malware detection. If SpyHunter detects malware on your PC, you will need to purchase SpyHunter's malware removal tool to remove the malware threats. Read more on SpyHunter. If you no longer wish to have SpyHunter installed on your computer, follow these steps to uninstall SpyHunter.
Security Doesn't Let You Download SpyHunter or Access the Internet?
Solutions: Your computer may have malware hiding in memory that prevents any program, including SpyHunter, from executing on your computer. Follow to download SpyHunter and gain access to the Internet:
- Use an alternative browser. Malware may disable your browser. If you're using IE, for example, and having problems downloading SpyHunter, you should open Firefox, Chrome or Safari browser instead.
- Use a removable media. Download SpyHunter on another clean computer, burn it to a USB flash drive, DVD/CD, or any preferred removable media, then install it on your infected computer and run SpyHunter's malware scanner.
- Start Windows in Safe Mode. If you can not access your Window's desktop, reboot your computer in "Safe Mode with Networking" and install SpyHunter in Safe Mode.
- IE Users: Disable proxy server for Internet Explorer to browse the web with Internet Explorer or update your anti-spyware program. Malware modifies your Windows settings to use a proxy server to prevent you from browsing the web with IE.

Will Alexa ultimately be the spark that launches the blogging explosion?
Monday, April 03, 2006
Take a second to look at your blog's browser stats. If your blog is like most others, a good share, if not the majority, of your users are getting to your blog with Firefox as their browser. It's early for the Garden, and I definitely skew the results, but so far half of our visitors are using Firefox.
And NONE of them are being counted by Alexa.
Alexa only counts users that have the Alexa Toolbar installed, which many people don't realize. Now bloggers ARE more likely to use the toolbar than the average user, but at the same time, they are also more likely to use Firefox.
And currently Alexa's toolbar is NOT available for Firefox, only IE. But what would happen if Alexa announced today that its toolbar was available for Firefox? Can you imagine how quickly this toolbar would be adopted by bloggers? Traffic patterns for blogs as a whole, according to Alexa, would begin to surge almost immediately.
MSM is already beginning to notice the increasing traffic patterns of blogs, but the kicker is, those patterns are calculated with a toolbar that only supports IE, which is used on the whole more by surfers to MSM sites, not blogs. If the advantage flipped, and if Alexa embraced Firefox, then suddenly the advantage swings to blogs in the traffic-wars.
The potential impact to the ultimate future of blogs would be huge if Alexa ever adds Firefox, the blogger's browser of choice. We'll see what happens.

Alexa is the only traffic counter that will give a site an overall ranking, based on the number of visitors with the Alexa toolbar.
All other search engines etc. will give you a ranking based on keywords, but shy away from an overall ranking. (like Technorati gives for blogs, for instance)
That said, the numbers are obviously grossly inaccurate, as you pointed out, Mack. I may be savvy to this info on Alexa's ranking system, but I have never actually laid mine own eyes on an Alexa toolbar, in all my years on the net. Likely, it's even less effective than the hilariously out-of-date and inaccurate Nielsen ratings system for t.v.
I mean, who uses Internet Explorer anymore anyway? Sheesh!
IMO, Alexa won't cause the explosion that you predict if it becomes firefox compatible, but instead it will just provide an off-the-mark ranking system that might matter to the great unwashed, but not to netophiles and the "bloggerati" like you and I.
Sorry Alexa, but I'm sticking with Google.

Ah but don't forget the ever-present blego. If Alexa's toolbar was made available for Firefox, the traffic rankings would shoot up for most blogs, and then you'd have Hugh on Gaping Void crowing about how GP was passing CBS.com, or whatever MSM site, in traffic. Many bloggers would be doing the same thing. The non-bloggers won't care, till they see the bloggers making such a big deal about their traffic suddenly spanking the 'old-school' sites.
It's a flawed system, and Technorati is even worse. Don't even get me started.

Up to 40% of male patients diagnosed with prostate cancer develop metastatic disease that generally responds to initial chemical or surgical castration, but this eventually progresses despite castrate levels of testosterone, termed castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). A large phase 3 trial of abiraterone acetate in patients who have progressed following docetaxel based chemotherapy were published in 2011 and dramatically proved that CRPC is still androgen-dependant and responds to CYP17 inhibition. Overall survival benefits were also reported for a novel tubulin-binding drug, cabazitaxel, tested as second-line chemotherapy after docetaxel failure; for sipuleucel-T, an autologous dendritic cell therapy, in chemotherapy-naive patients; for MDV3100, a novel antiandrogen, and for radium-223, which is a bone-seeking α-irradiation–emitting radioisotope. Denosumab, a monoclonal antibody against receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB ligand, was shown to be superior to zoledronic acid for prevention of skeletal-related events in prostate cancer patients with metastatic bone disease. This review will focus on the recent developments in the field of CRPC.

Where I stayed
But we are so far north that it's like the sun never sets. It was as bright at 8pm as it was during the day. We went for a walk to the bridge to look along the river to the next bridge -Charles Bridge - which was the famous one. By this stage I was so hungry and tired that we ate KFC, and it was great!
Next morning we ambled to the main square. Still overcast and grey but only lumpy humidity. We met up with an Australian girl (34) who now lives in Prague and gives free walking tours. After watching a fairly disappointing display by the astronomical clock we headed off. (even the czech's think it's below par
It was a great tour and really gave a background to the Czech republic. Things I learnt
1. Dvorak, Mendelssohn, and Kafka were Czech.
2. They only got separate independence in 1983
3. They only threw out the communists in 1979. It was in Wenceslas square that 100's of students protested by shaking their keys ( to symbolize unlocking the restrictions and giving freedom to the people
4. Before the war they had the largest Jewish population in Europe. Hitler didn't bomb the synagogues because he intended the Jewish quarter to be a museum to 'the extinct race'. One of the synagogues is dedicated to all the children to we're taken away 'to keep them safe'. It has the names of every child inscribed on the wall.
6. No one likes the communists
After the tour it was time for beer. Czechs invented lager beer and they still make a great drop. Always cold ( what is wrong with the English ) and always big. We had a rich pork stew with dumplings. I also learnt that the czechs don't know what fresh vegetables are. Everything is either preserved or cooked to death.
Later we went for a walk across the bridge. Prague really is lovely......SO much better than Vienna. Strangle enough there was a French food and wine expo. The locals seemed to be having a good time so we got a good glass of red and a plate of cheeses and sat down, in the gutter, with everyone else. Makes it safer when you drink too much if you are already at ground level.
A pleasant walk home and then time to make plans for moving out tomorrow.
We decided to get up early, race up to see the castle and St Vitus church and then get to the station for the midday train to Berlin.

My limited use of Cygon has been directed to localized slug populations. Cygon
is systemic. What success rate should it have on the nematode virus. Is the
fnv an increasing problem in most areas? What is the short and long term
prognosis of a plant with fnv? Will a traveling slug carry the virus? This

Why was this happening to me? I'd never cursed anyone before, but all of a sudden everything I was saying was taken literally by the gods and preformed on the people I hated most. Already one person was dead and one was mute.
The bell rang and I hurried out of the classroom. Maybe I was sick? Yes, that was it. I hurried down the hall to the nurse's office all the while thinking Get out of my way, get out of my way! The path in front of me was suddenly clear as students were jerked to the lockers.
"Nurse!" I called as I ran into the room. "Nurse!"
A ancient woman came out of the back room. "Yes?" she smilied.
"I think I'm sick," I told her.
"Sit down," she said, pointing to a cot. I sat down and she stuck a thermometer in my mouth. "No fever," she said, pulling it out. "What hurts?"
"Then why do you think you're sick?"
"I... can't... say," I told her. Please just let me go home! I thought.
"Okay, I'll call your mother and tell her to pick you up, you go get your things," the nurse said unexpectedly. My powers were getting stronger.
I walked slowly down the hall trying not to think anything. No one was still in the halls but still, I didn't want pigs to start flying in the windows eating everyone and everything in sight! No, don't think! I yelled at myself.
I gathered my things from my locker and started to walk out the door.

Red Bag Captures $ in Toxic Waste
Red Bag Solutions, Inc.
Red Bag Captures $ in Toxic Waste
Red Bag captures $ in toxic waste
by Urvaksh Karkaria , Staff Writer - Atlanta Business Chronicle
Friday, August 12, 2011
Don Millard: Red Bag will use the Fulcrum money, invested over 12 months, to commercialize the ozone-based sterilization technology and grow sales and marketing.
An Atlanta company is developing a technology that uses ozone to sterilize dangerous medical waste and reduce the need for toxic landfills.
Red Bag Solutions Inc. has developed a system that grinds medical waste, such as syringes, needles and disposal medical devices used in surgery. The company then uses ozone to "cook" or sterilize the waste material.
"Ozone is a natural sterilization agent," Red Bag CEO Don Millard said. "It's been used for years to purify water and in commercial laundries to clean clothes."
The Red Bag system is also able to separate and recycle metals, plastics, paper, glass and woven materials from the medical waste.
Red Bag has raised $3 million in commitments from Fulcrum Equity Partners Inc. The Atlanta-based growth equity firm is raising an up to $100 million fund.
"Medical waste is a big problem for the health-care industry," Fulcrum co-founder and partner Jeff Muir said. "Red Bag has a ... green solution that is also cost-effective."
Fulcrum, which invests in health-care services and information technology companies, brings more than dollars to Red Bag — it can open doors to potential customers.
"We believe we can introduce [Red Bag] to hospitals and major medical centers and help them get some sales traction," Muir said.
Selling into health systems is a challenge and typically requires a long sales cycle, Muir said. Getting the hospitals to change the way they've been handling medical waste management could also be an issue. Medical waste management is not a core function of the hospital, nor is it a major expense line item for a hospital, Muir said.
Saving green
Launched in 2003, Red Bag is profitable. Millard declined to disclose financial details, but said revenues are between $5 million and $10 million.
Red Bag will use the Fulcrum money, invested over 12 months, to commercialize the ozone-based sterilization technology and grow sales and marketing.
Red Bag's current system, which uses steam to sterilize the waste, is marketed to hospitals, biotechs and pharmaceutical companies. The hardware includes a 4-foot high, 3,500 pound tank, and an accompanying 350 pound filter-separator, used to dry out the processed solids.
By exposing infectious medical waste to superheated water and steam (272°F) and simultaneously using a proprietary cutting system, the Red Bag system renders infectious medical waste noninfectious, nonhazardous and nonrecognizable. The processed medical waste can then be discarded as ordinary municipal trash.
Red Bag's new system replaces steam with ozone as the sterilizing agent. Ozone is made naturally in the upper atmosphere by sunlight and by electric discharge from lightning in the lower atmosphere.
Ozone is the most powerful available oxidant and can destroy contaminants, such as bacteria and viruses that mutate and become resistant to antibiotics, said Ron Larocque, a consultant to Red Bag and president of Ozocan Corp., which make ozone-generation devices.
"Bacteria or virus cannot mutate to protect themselves from ozone, except by growing a thicker and thicker skin," Larocque said. "All that means is, it just takes a little bit more ozone and time to oxidize the thicker skin."
The Red Bag system's process of sterilizing pathogens — organisms known to cause disease — with ozone is unique, Larocque said. The device can be programmed to use the appropriate amount of ozone, for the appropriate length of time, to sterilize the waste based on the mix of pathogenic contaminants
Ozone-based sterilization is not only green, it saves greenbacks.
Sterilizing medical waste with ozone is about 20 percent to 40 percent less expensive than incineration or dumping in special landfills, designed to securely store biohazardous materials, Millard said.
It's even cheaper than using steam, since it eliminates the cost to heat water. The ozone system costs about 20 percent to 25 percent less and is 25 percent to 33 percent faster than the steam-based approach, Millard said.
Disposal on-site
While Red Bag sells the hardware, Millard said, most customers prefer to have the company install the device and process the waste on-site for a fee.
Sterilizing the waste on the customer site, instead of hauling it off to a processing facility, has advantages, Millard said.
"Whenever anything leaves the hospital," he said, "you can have an issue of lost patient confidentiality or contamination."
Medical waste disposal is a $3 billion annual business in the United States, and growing about 5 percent each year.
Stericycle Inc (Nasdaq: SRCL) has about 50 percent market share, with the rest fought over among several smaller players.
As the population ages and surgical techniques improve, medical procedures and surgeries are increasing, driving up the amount of medical waste generated. Increased regulation surrounding patient records is also driving demand for secure document destruction.
Medical waste that can't be sterilized must be incinerated or stored in special landfills, which are difficult to get approval to develop, Millard said, because "those are not things people want in their backyard."
"You're having a reduction in the number of landfills that people can put [medical waste] in," he said. "So, that's creating an opportunity for us."

Monkman Pass
Monkman Pass, 1061 m (3481 ft),[1] is a mountain pass in the Canadian Rockies, located southwest of the coal-mining town of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia. Located in the Hart Ranges, it is sometimes reckoned as the southern limit of the informal grouping known as the Northern Rockies, although those are sometimes reckoned as extending farther southeast to Mount Ovington and even to Mount Robson. Located on the Continental Divide, it is lower than the Yellowhead and Pine Passes. In 1937-39, a proposal to build a highway through the route led to a survey exploration, but the route was not completed. A highway access from other parts of British Columbia to the Peace Country was not made until much later, with the construction of the John Hart Highway through the Pine Pass; the route is now the Monkman Pass Historical Trail, built in 2006-07 and opened in 2008.[2][3] The pass is at the head of the Murray River and south of the height of land at the head of the Parsnip River, and was discovered by accident by its namesake, Peace River Country fur trapper Alexander Monkman in 1922 who crossed it by sled and dogs.
This pass, 162 feet lower than the Yellowhead Pass, had been used as a route for Indian travel for some 300 years. "Mr. LeBreton Ross, the Department of Railways representative on the [Geographic Board of Canada] has this morning shown me a blueprint accompanying a report of Canadian Pacific and Canadian National railway engineers on railway connection with Peace river. A possible route is by this pass which crosses the divide at the head of Murray River, south of the height of land at the head of Parsnip river. The engineer's report states that the pass which is only 3,550 feet elevation was discovered by Alexander Monkman, a pioneer trader and trapper of the Peace River country, while on a trapping and hunting trip in the fall and winter of 1922 with pack dogs and on snowshoes. He ran into trappers who had come into the country with canoes by the Fraser ?River and was surprised to find he had crossed the continental divide without knowing it." (11 August 1925 letter from Ron Douglas, Secretary, Geographic Board of Canada, to G.G. Aitken, Chief Geographer of BC, file M.2.54)[2]
Monkman Pass and Monkman Falls are part of Monkman Provincial Park.

Beschreibungcomprehensively up to date. We are most grateful to these authors and to those we recruited to write the additional chapters necessary to fill the significant gaps. We acknowledge also the sacrifice of some who presented results of original research and have thus suffered a longer time than usual to publication. The timing of publication however has provided the opportunity to highlight recent discussions and resolutions made within the Antarctic Treaty forum to protect wildlife against disease and to include responses by Government and non-Government operators in Antarctica. These developments mostly followed from the Workshop on Diseases of Antarctic Wildlife. The book comprises 17 chapters presented in two parts. Wildlife disease consists of reviews, case studies and health assessments, and External factors covers the environmental, administrative and legal aspects. Each chapter is complete and c- tains all references. Six important documents are provided as Appendices. These present methods, reviews and other documents which are referred to in one or more chapters but are not readily available. There are many related topics we have been unable to cover that would enhance the understanding of health and disease processes in Antarctica. While we ackno- edge their importance they are outside the scope of the present volume. Such topics include epidemiology, new and emerging infectious diseases and the effects of climate change. These topics are referred to in the various chapters where ref- ences to source material are given.

PressestimmenFrom the reviews:
"The present one is to be greatly welcomed as fills an important gap in the knowledge of Antarctica. Health of Antarctic Wildlife is a volume with a wide scope ... discusses this topic in the context of the complex policy and administration systems for the Antarctic continent. ... The book will be very useful for all those interested in the environmental protection of Antarctica and specifically of its fauna. It provides a good starting point for researchers, managers or policy-makers involved in Antarctic work." (Andres Barbosa, Antarctic Science, Vol. 22 (3), 2010)
"This book and its many contributors-28 in all-provide an up-to-date overview of the health of Antarctic birds and seals. For any practising biologist, ecologist or veterinarian interested in Antarctic biology this book is immensely valuable, not only because it brings together information from a wide range of fields and expertise, but ... it describes exactly how suspicious die-offs should be treated to minimize the potential spread of disease, and to reduce the risk to the human researchers most likely to discover such events." (Clive R. McMahon, Polar Research, Vol. 29 (3), 2010)
"This book provides a useful and interesting introduction to the health and related issues of Antarctica's seabirds and seals. ... This volume set out to provide an up-to-date overview for a broad audience. ... this book does not disappoint and offers a comprehensive primer and source of reference for both scientists and policy advisers ... . It brings together a comprehensive set of contributions and an important bibliography that I for one, will consult well into the future." (P. Tratham, The Journal of Polar Record, Vol. 47, 2011)
"'To provide information in a consolidated form to the Antarctic Treaty Parties who, through domestic legislation and regulation, are responsible for implementing the environmental protection regime in Antarctica. Further the book is intended for use by veterinary and biological scientists, policy makers and administrators whose job it is to protect the health of Antarctica's wildlife.' ... a highly welcome solid base for further investigation and for further developments in policy. ... it is clearly addressed to professional readers and institutional libraries." (Horst Bornemann, Polar Biology, Vol. 34, 2011)
