Give the diagnosis
What's the treatment
What's the mechanism
Adult: less than 60.Child: less than the normal levels for age
P wave in front of QRS
causes, medications, beta blockers, CCB, Increased inter cranial pressure, Cushing's triade, bradycardia, hypertension, irregular breathing, hypothyroidism
Treatment, treat the cause, not symptomatic, no need for treatment, can happen in sleep or in athletes, symptomatic, Atropine, unstable, resuscitation
1st degree heart block, PR constant and prolonged, normal range 3-5, No need for treatment, generally normal and has no significance, except if you want to use it as minor criteria for rheumatic fever
2nd degree heart block, Mobitz type I (Wenchebach), progressive prolongation of PR interval, clinically not significant, can be normal finding, NO treatment, Mobitz type II, significant and needs treatment, P wave alone with no pattern (not conducted to the ventricles to produce QRS), no prolongation of PR, one of the indications for pacemaker
3rd degree heart block, no relation between atria and ventricles, each are conducting separately, causes, congenital, babies of mothers with antiphospholipid syndrome (positive anti ro anti la antibodies) like SLE, acquired, postoperative, management, symptomatic, Atropin first to increase HR, then put a pacemaker, not symptomatic, if the ventricular rate is sufficient
Asystole, Check if leads are connected first!! can detach with chest compression, give atropine and epinephrin, shock will kill the patient (it causes temporarily systole), Do chest compressions
adults: more than 100children: more than normal for age
from SA node, but faster than normal
ECG characteristics, P wave precedes the QRS, PR interval constant, Normal P wave axis (0-90 degrees), look at lead 1 and aVF, if it's positive in both it's normal axis, Normal P wave axis (0-90 degrees)
Sinus arrhythmia
Sinus tachycardia, What to do for him?, simply know the cause and treat it, Why is it fast?, fever, pain, anxiety, anemia, dehydration, Thyrotoxicosis
Sinus arrhythmia, This is due inspiration and expiration, inspiration increases venous return and heart rate, normal finding, read about pathophysiology
atrial or ventricular, atrial, Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), SVT, It's main differential for sinus tachycardia, NO P wave, T wave is there.., mechanism, reentry is the most common mechanism, nodal, accessory pathway, Presentation, Very common and important. Most common in paediatrics, Asymptomatic, Depends on the age and duration, Palpitations (comes like chest discomfort), Heart failure, suddenly comes, suddenly goes.., Management, Treat NOW, it might cause, arrhythmia induced cardiomyopathy, Degenerate to ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation -> patient dies, Acute SVT have to be treated ASAP, No equipment, valsalva manoeuvre, ask the patient to breath against a closed mouth, carotid massage, ice bag on face for 10 seconds, these manoeuvres affect the vegal tone and reduce heart rate, With equipment, Adenosine!, very important ASAP, causes transient heart block in the AV node, half life 3-5 seconds, to the nearest vein to heart, Then flush immediately with normal saline, 2 needles at the same time, If this didn't work, or patient is not stable, Synchronized cardioversion, same defibrillation machine, but will give the shock at the QRS, if it was not at the QRS, it might cause asystole and patient dies!!, Amiodarone, usually for chronic SVT, but still u can use it, lots of side effects, hypotension, lung fibrosis, liver damage, thyroid problems, subtypes, Atrial ectopic tacycardia, in adult and children, Mechanism: abnormal automaticity, impulse coming from abnormal focus, Abnormal P wave, inverted, biphasic.., worming up and cooling down, normal, then gradually increasing to tachycardia, then gradually decreasing, not like SVT (abrupt start and end), causes, Myocarditis, Postoperative, management, resistant to cardiovesion and adenosine, Give anti arrhythmic medication, Amiodarone, Digoxin, Junctional ectopic tachicardia, Atrial flatter, mechanism, Reentry, single circuit, one abnormal focus, Treatment, Rate controle, Beta blocker, digoxin, Anticoagulant, warfarin, to prevent stroke, Cardioversion, Atrial fibrillation, mechanism, Reentry (multicircuit), Heart block is very important to have, to isolate the atrial fibrillation from making ventricular fibrillation, without block patients die.., Treatment, Rate controle, Beta blocker, digoxin, Anticoagulant, warfarin, to prevent stroke, Cardioversion, ventricular, premature ventricular contraction (PVC), abnormal or absent P wave, Number of consecutive PVCs, 1: isolated, 2: couplet, 3: triplet, more than 3: ventricular tachycardia, Pattern, Bigeminy: 1 normal then 1 abnormal, Trigeminy: 2 normal, 1 abnormal, Ventricular tachycardia, More than 4 PVCs in all leads, The patient can be stable or unstable, Common cause of arrest outside hospitals, Treatment, if stable you can start with anti arrhythmic medication first, Lidocaine, Amiodarone, if unstable, Defibrillation: shock, AED, This is monomorphic. Polymorphic like Torsades de points, Ventricular fibrillation, Irregular! a total mess, Patient is not stable. Shock immediately, Torsades de pointes, Mechanism: triggered activity, will lead to VT, going up and down from the baseline, Suspect long QT syndrome (previously), Treatment, Manage as VT, Then correct the cause of QT, electrolyte imbalance, congenital
Narrow or wide QRS, Wide QRS
Mechanisms, Reentry, The impulse enters again to make one more contraction instead of ending after 1 contraction, nodal or due to accessory pathway outside the node (used anti grade or retrograde), Abnormal automaticity, should be automatic normally, the SA node, if it's originated somewhere else other than SA node, Triggered activity, very rare, action potential initiates 2 or more contractions, example: Torsades de pointes
cause, myocarditis, postoperative
characteristic, tachycardia, then bradycardia, associated with syncope and arrest
P wave starts normal, then gradually PR interval and P wave morphology changes..
cause, myocarditis, postoperative
Pharmacological, non classified, adenosine, block AV nodal conduction and shortens atrial refractoriness, half life is seconds, transient side effects, it makes the patient in a heart block for seconds, treats SVT, digoxin, Inhibits the Na+, K+‐ATPase pump, Prolongs AV nodal conduction and the AV nodal refractory period, blocks conduction, so good for AF. Not effective with VT, half life 36-48 hours, 4 classes (Vaughn‐Williams), Class 1: sodium channel blockers, affects rhythm, 1a, Prolong action potential duration, depress phase 0, indications: SVT, VT, prevention of VF, PVCs, examples, quinidine, protein bound, procainamid, rarely causes SLE, 1b, Shorten action potential duration, indications: VT, VF prevention, PVCs, examples, lidocaine, only parentally, not by mouth due to first pass metabolism, protein bound, Mexiletine, protein bound, might rarely cause leukopnea, 1c, like 1a but stronger, indications: life threatening VT, VF, refractory SVT, examples, Flecainide, Severe LVF decrease, Might cause sudden death, propafenone, weak CCB and beta blocker, Class 2: anti-sympathetic nervous system (most are beta blockers), lower automaticity, affects rate, Prolong AV conduction & refractoriness, indications: SVT, AF (preventing VF), examples, Esmolol, Propranolol, Metoprolol, Class 3: potassium channel blockers, Prolongs action potential, prolongs QT intervale, so the patient can enter dorsale de poinet, decrease automaticity and conduction, examples, amiodarone, can be used for anything, but many long term side effects, Dronedarone, Satalol, beta blocker, AF, VT, Dofetilide, AF and flutter, cytochrom p450 interaction, Ibutilitde, Fore conversion of AF and flutter, Class 4: calcium channel blockers, affects rate, Non dihydropyridine because they increase HR, indication: SVT, examples, Verapamil, Diltazem, IMPORTANT, All are pro arrhythmic, least is amidarone, but it has long term side effects, pulmonary fibrosis, has iodine so it cause hypo and hyper thyrodism, Most affect LVF, also amidarone is the least, worst is class 1c
Non Pharmacological, defibrillation, valsalva manoeuvre, carotid massage, ice bag on face for 10 seconds

Retailer: Rival CEO posed as exec to get secrets
TRENTON, N.J. — The CEO of a sporting goods chain who once appeared on the TV show "Undercover Boss" pretended to be an executive from a rival company in an effort to get confidential information, according to a lawsuit.
Dick's Sporting Goods claims in a lawsuit filed Feb. 20 in Mercer County Court that Mitchell Modell, CEO of Modell's Sporting Goods, showed up at a Dick's store in Princeton in February saying he was a Dick's senior vice president. The lawsuit was first reported Friday by The Record newspaper (http://bit.ly/1dJeWqz ).

1. For sure I will buy from them again.
By Joshua Ball from Ohio on Apr 29, 2011
This was my first time placing an order on Brilliantstore. I thought it gave me all the options I needed to know. The descriptions and details of the product were great. I received item free shipping. Price was awesome. For sure I will buy from them again.
2. Flaw but Good Price
By Gail from Kentucky on May 24, 2010
I was very happy with my experience with Brilliant. I will be shopping more from them. You had the product I needed. I couldn't find it anywhere locally. And they had the best price for this item although handling and shipping cost was higher than anywhere else ($40 may have been realistic since the item weighed 35 lbs, but it seemed high). Bottom line though was that the overall cost was still the lowest that I found.
3. briiliantstore user
By brilliantstore user from Elgin on Mar 10, 2010
Price isn't so bad a little lower then elsewhere.
Shipping was fast and battery arrived unscathed and works perfectly fine.
4. Flaw but Good Service
By Laurie Jenae from Illinois on Mar 5, 2009
I bought parts over time for a new PC I was building everything came at least 1 day less than expected. All parts but one was in good shape. The case was damaged in shipping. I got it turned around in a week and had plenty of help from customer service. I will continue to use this store for my computer needs. Thanks !
5. I will definitely shop there again
By nicholas from Georgia on Aug 7, 2008
I have ordered all the parts to build my first computer here. Great prices, fast shipping, and a user friendly web site made planning and buying my system a breeze. All the correct parts arrived when they were supposed to. When FedEx ruined several pieces during the delivery process, brilliantstore's customer service department bent over backwards to help me replace them at no extra cost to me. A replacement also came damaged by FedEx and they shipped THAT replacement to me overnight with no shipping charge. As you can tell, I'm impressed with them and their customer service department. (NOT FedEx!!) I will definitely shop there again and recommend them to my fellow "geeks".

IXON Space by Busch + Müller
The most powerful, multi-functional IXON
Busch + Müller presents their most powerful LED headlight with an integrated battery to date: IXON Space.
In its brightest mode, the IXON Space opens an extensive light field with 150 Lux (shines for over two hours) – far, wide, brilliant and homogenous as never before.
Integrated into the upper surface of the headlight is a digital touch slider that lets you flexibly regulate the ideal brightness in every situation with merely the soft touch of a finger. In its lowest mode (more than 10 Lux), IXON Space shines for approximately 30 hours. A digital display shines blue and shows the exact remaining light duration in each mode – alternatively a choice of remaining capacity in per cent or the current time.
The integrated lithium battery is charged comfortably via a micro-USB socket; a special fast charging mains adapter is included. The headlight can be switched into "power bank" mode. In this mode, the USB socket may be used to charge or power other mobile devices using the headlight's battery.
A circumferential soft components protects IXON Space from shocks and makes it both splash- and rainwater-proof. Includes a universal mount for handlebar diameters from 22 to 32 mm. Approved for road use on all bicycles.
IXON Space, type 196
German SRP €199.00
Available 2017.

Hi Kevin, Long time didn't hear from you. Thank you for continue help us to improve ODF Toolkit in Apache. I found a bug in ODFDOM that maybe the reason of this issue. see the following code from OdfPackage // Initialize using memory private void initializeZip(InputStream odfStream) throws Exception { ByteArrayOutputStream tempBuf = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); StreamHelper.transformStream(odfStream, tempBuf); byte[] mTempByteBuf = tempBuf.toByteArray(); tempBuf.close(); ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->!!!!!!!!!!!!!! odfStream doesn't close if (mTempByteBuf.length < 3) { OdfValidationException ve = new OdfValidationException(OdfPackageConstraint.PACKAGE_IS_NO_ZIP, getBaseURI()); if (mErrorHandler != null) { mErrorHandler.fatalError(ve); } throw new IllegalArgumentException(ve); } mZipFile = new ZipHelper(this, mTempByteBuf); readZip(); } In this method, the opened file stream isn't closed, which will lead OS can't recovery the file handler. add the following code to the target: // close the input stream to notify OS release file handle. odfStream.close(); I will send a private jar to you, please check whether the issue has been resolved. If yes, I will create a formal patch and commit it to the master repository. @Ashok Thank you very much for you kindly help to reproduce the issue.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - March 3, 1993, New Braunfels, Texas WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1993 HERALD-ZEITUNG 7-AWatchdog group cites Texas projects as pork-barrel spending Associated Press WASHINGTON — Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, pork-barrel spending depends on your vantage point. Two Texas projects are among the 1,500 nationwide branded as wasteful spending by a Washington-based watchdog group in its *1993 Congressional Pig Book Summary." But officials at the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historic Park and Texas Tech University reject the contention of Citizens Against Government Waste, saying their projects are anything but pork. The advocacy group, in its report released Tuesday, defined pork-barrel projects as those either funded with federal money even though they serve only local interests, not requested by the president or not the subject of congressional hearings. "Once these projects are funded, they grow like a cancer, consuming more and more tax dollars every year," the organiza tion said. The Tig Book" was released the day that former independent presidential candidate Ross Perot told a congressional reform panel that he would identify "pork of the month" projects so Americans could see how their tax money is being wasted. This is a sacred cow... all that funny stuff that happens in the middle of the night in the appropriations committee," the Texas billionaire said. Citizens Against Government Waste derided the $3.5 million appropriation this year for an $8.3 million visitors center at the LBJ National Historic Park — because the nearby LBJ State Park already has such a facility. "I don't feel that there is any pork," said park acting supering tendent Reba Hyatt "Possibly some savings, but I think the visitors center is very important to the public and to the park." And, Ms. Hyatt noted, the state park is 14 miles west of the national park. Senate approves utility commission nominations Associated Press AUSTIN — The Texas Senate has confirmed Gov. Ann Richards' appointments to the Public Utility Commission and Water Development Board Tuesday. But senators agreed Tuesday to return numerous branch pilot appointments to the Senate Nominations Committee after Sen. Rodney Ellis expressed concern about whether there is enough diversity among the pilots. The pilots are responsible for bringing vessels into port. Tm told that there are 1,200 ship pilots in this country, nationwide. A total of five are people of color," said Ellis, D- Houston. He said he wanted to give people from his area who have applied to be pilots a chance to testify about problems they have run into. * Tm hoping that in a one-week or two-week period, we can get some questions answered, and maybe get some sense of what is being done to diversify" the group, he said. The Senate voted 31-0 to confirm the nominations of Robert Gee and Karl Rabago, both of Houston, to the Public Utility Commission. It also confirmed the Water Development Board appointments of Othon Medina Jr. of El Paso, and Elaine Umstead and Charles Jenness, both of Houston. Jenness, who was reappointed, is board chairman. The Senate also confirmed branch pilot and pilot commission appointments for the Sabine Bar, Pass and Tributaries. Ellis didn't ask to hold back those nominees, noting that two of the commissioners are women. Senators returned to the Nominations Committee the branch pilot appointments for the ports of the Brazos River Harbor Navigation District; Galveston Bar and the Houston Ship Channel; ports of Galveston County; Matagorda Ship Channel; and the Port Aransas Bar, Corpus Christi Bay and Tributaries. r NOW OPEN CHECKS CASHED Fe© 1% Free Money Orders with check cashing or 25 cents each CASH IN A FLASH 373-E Lands St. - Landa Plaza Shp.Ctr. 608-0527 Mon.-Th ur». 10-6 Fri. 9-7 Sat. 9-3 COMETO GUANO GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE EVERYTHING UNDER $10.00 LADIES * MENS * KIDS GUANO FACTORY STORE #24 Mill Store Plaza Box 14 651 Hwy 81 E.

Sanya, Hainan Province - Located at the southernmost tip of China, this is hubby's latest business trip. It's a four hour flight from Beijing. As hubby said, an additional 30 mins more would have brought him to Manila already. It's considered as a beach destination for locals given its warm climate all year round. A lot of international hotel chains and resorts are already here.

Left Boston on a United flight to San Francisco at 6:00 p.m.. WStuffed into a packed economy seat. No food except for purchase snacks. We outsmarted then with sandwiches from Formaggio's, a Cambridge italian delicatessen. An old-fashioned movie was shown on driop down screens.
Four hour layover in SFO, then onto a Singapore Air flight to Siongapore with a stop in Hong Kong. Much more room in economy. Food was decent. In seat video was also decent. Almost everyone else on the plane was Asian.
After short stop in HK, an easy hop to singapore.
Now using free internet access in Terminal 3. We took showers at the Ambassador transit loung for $8S. Very refreshing.
Will check in later in trip.

Gpanda's Bali trip Report
Left Boston on a United flight to San Francisco at 6:00 p.m.. WStuffed into a packed economy seat. No food except for purchase snacks. We outsmarted then with sandwiches from Formaggio's, a Cambridge italian delicatessen. An old-fashioned movie was shown on driop down screens.

Greetings 'panda',
... so glad to see you flew a certain Singaporean airline, all the way, from the Bay, to sweet SIN ... (dearly beloved, SQ1, one of my all-time business - and occasional pleasure - travel favourites) ... and one of mrs. m's best friends' special sectors -- (and beyond) ...
... have fun in Bali ... will always remember the 'in-villa' massage treatments at the Four Seasons Sayan ... (completely legitimate and professional, mind you -- was with the better half) ...
... don't know if you're eventually flying home out of Changi via SQ2, but if you do, well, you arrive nice and early (preferably from one of our favourites, the SIN FS), and should you be flying Y, and don't have the SQ PPS / various airline status to get into those fine SQ Silver Kris Lounges (and just between us: the SQ ICN SKL F is my current SQ SKL favourite, but even it doesn't hold a candle to the TG Royal First Lounge and Spa at BKK - please don't tell my SQ-forever wife), well, there is something even better : you and your loved one simply, slowly, walk around Changi, and take in one of our planet's most precious creations : Singapore Girls, thrusting out their chests, sucking in their tiny tummies, and sashaying away throughout charming Changi ... (never fails to melt my heart) ...
... savour your tender Asian times -- (with exquisite women) ...

If you love Lombok (which I didn't), wait until you get to Bali (which I truly loved). Although I must admit that my trip there was in 1989 so things have probably changed in both islands.
Report Abuse
Cruisin VERY funny....
where are our updates boys????
Report Abuse
Gloria , both islands have changed a lot since 1989. I first went to Lombok in 1982 and accomodation was quite basic -I think it was the Hotel Sasaka Beach and the Hotel Suranadi we stayed at .The former was built in the 70's and the latter had been a retreat for the Dutch and was built on the site of a natural spring which fed the swimming pool .Now of course there are some remakably lovely hotels and unhappily there has been racial unrest / religious intolerance in the not too distant past.But I remember the locals as lovely then and on the 3 subsequent trips .
As for Bali it was my first overseas trip and I fell in love with it and that " affair " has never ended .
I am looking forward to Gpandas trip report especially as I am going back on 8 June and it is always good to read reliable reports from all of you extremely knowledgable Asia experts .

John-- when I went to Lombok there was one new "luxury" hotel. I think it was an Oberoi. But there were still very few tourists and certainly not many americans (I figured that out when I got off the plane and saw that the name of the tourist agency was swastika tours_. Yes, I know it's a hindu symbol but it ain't the best name for marketing purposes if you want americans or english or french. . Very little English was spoken but, yes, the people were lovely. But I had already left my heart in Bali and,frankly, couldn't wait to get back!

Absolutely understandable .Something about Bali , the people and the place ,that has beguiled me and keeps drawing me back .

My first trip to Bali was in 1988 and it was magical! I've been back since and I've been to Lombok as well. The two cultures are very different. But Lombok is so much less visited than Bali it retains a very rural, untouched feel to it. We stayed at Qunci Villas right after they opened (maybe 2002) and recommended them to Bob and Karen. Our stay there was idyllic with nearly empty beaches (better beaches than Bali), the slow pace and the lovely people. I'll be interested to hear what they have to say about their stay.

Don't pay the ransom, I've escaped from my captors. I scribbled a few notes into my skin, so I can continue the report.
The flight from Singapore to Bali was an easy jump. Remembering Craig's issue, I used the ATM by the baggage carosel. Of course, I was so tired, I couldn't properly do the math the first several times, but eventually i got 3,000,000 Rupiah.
The hotel driver, Alam Shanti, was waiting for us and off we went. The ride took about an hour. Check in was easy. We had Gaanga for the first two nights. The room is unbelievable, huge gorgeous, well-appointed with a view of the rice fields.
When we finally collapsed into bed, 40 hours after leaving out house, a funny thing happened. As repoprted by Beth the next morning, I fell asleep immediately. However, we apparently continued to have a conversation. She said I responded really slowly and made no sense whatsoever. She thought I was having a stroke. This worried her so much, she stayed awake for another 15 minutes. I have no memory.
Report Abuse
Up early and went for a run through the Monkey Forest and into downtown Ubud. There were just a few people up and about.
Breakfast was fruit salad with yogurt and honey, a cinamon crepe, juice, tea and toast. Very good.
Putu, our guide, picked us up at 10:00 a.m.. Craig found him. He is a great guide. Very knowledgable, very bright, great English and very relaxed. I highly recommend him. He will pick you up from any hotel in Bali, it does not have to be in Ubud. If you're going to Bali, you should definitely use his services.
We were first taken to Putu's family compound. This was a perfect introduction to the communal aspects of Balinese life. There are twenty people living there. We saw the family temple, living quarters, kitchen and living area. Putu patiently explained everything. We met a few of his aunties carrying out their daily chores.
Right around the corner, we popped in and saw how grass roofs are made. The tying of each bunch of grass and the fastening to each bamboo pole. This was really interesting when we saw so may of these roofs later on.
We then wandered north east to a great view of the terraces rice fields. This is the quintessential landscape of Bali. It is picture-perfect.
WE ate lunch at a restaurant on a lake. It reminded me of Lake Taqhoe, surrounded by mountains and crisp, clean air. No casinos.
Off to look at a lava field at the foot of a volcano. Putu explained the significance of the use of the volcanic rock for construction in Bali.
We then went to a Water temple. This is an impressive place. Many Balinese bathe in the waters. There were busloads of Balinese. Putu discovered that these were students studying to be guides.
As an aside, many Balinese go to university to study tourism. Putu went for four years. One manager of a restaurant, Terrazo, went for two years. Afterwards, he worked on a cruise ship out of the Us for 15 years. Apparently, the cruise lines recruit many people from Bali. Putu's brother works on a cruise ship. Tourism is a huge industry in Bali and it is much studied.
After the water temple, we went to another close-by temple that was down in a gorge. To get there, you walk down steps for a very long time. At the bottom are many large images carved into the rock. Very impressive.
Returned to the hotel. Walked to Laka Leke, a restaurant owned by the hotel's owner abou 1/4 of a mile away. We had Indonesian food that was decent, but not great. We snuck out during the Frog dance that was performed in a central stage. Collapsed into bed.
Report Abuse
Next day, we were off to Lake country north west of Ubud. GFirst stop was the Botanical gardens. These were wonderful to see. The lush vegetation was really on display. It was Sunday and there were many Balinese enjoying the gardens as well.
Then we were off to the eleven roofed lake temple that is the most common image of Bali. I'd seen the picture so many times that the real thing was more a verification than a wonder.
WE ate lunch at a restaurant by the side of the road on a ridge between two lakes. Very scenic. We skipped the waterfall opportunity.
We stopped at a number of craft places, but bought little. Back to the hotel early to meet Bob and Karen, who were arriving from Lombok.
Report Abuse
Our activities for the next several days were done with Bob and Karen. For those of you with infinite patience and a forgiving spirit can read the details of our wanderings on Bob's RhkKmk-Part II post. (Eskrunchy-note how easily I'm passing off the agonizing details to staff. I can assure you that there is no penalty for such appropriate delegation.) I will not shirk my duty and will provide some thoughts and impressions of these days.
Our first dinner with B and K was at Cafe Wayasn. We got tricked into this by a couple also staying at the Alam Shanti. We ate the buffet of Indonesian food. It was good, but not great. We had many better meals in Ubud.
The next day was with Putu in East Bali. Bob rode in the front seat, while Beth, Karen and I were crammed into the back seat. Putu melded seamlessly into the ongoing childish banter between the POB and me. This is a real talent.
For some reason, Bob called Putu by the wrong name, i.e., Pedro. This was cause for great hilarity. Beth, Karen and I could not stop laughing. One shudders to think of the crossed neural connections that led to this blunder.
More to follow.

You had Ganja the first 2 nights? Whatever.
For me, the most striking aspect of Balinese culture was the overwhelming presence of the arts. Evereyone seemed to be an artisan of some sort: a wood carver, or a dancer, or a stone-cutter, or a gamelan player. There was such a richness to the life -- wherever I walked or went, I'd find wonderful things to look at or hear. Really an extraordinary experience.

Ubud is like an outdoor museum. The scenery, architecture and abundant religious symbols are very pleasing to the eye. Every walk or drive is a delight.
For restaurants, I highly recommend Terazzo and Cinta. Indus is a nice place for a scenic lunch. Cafe Wayan is passable. Casa Luna should be avoided. Bob's food was inedible, ours was mediocre.
The Alam Shanti provides free transportation into town and will pick you up after you are finished. One can also walk into town in 10-15 minutes.

Dropped another post. This Needham computer stinks.
We went to two silver places with B and K. John Hardy where we had made reservations for a tour and lunch. This is very interesting. The lunch is with many of the managerial employees, lots of whom are ex-pats. Naturally, the funniest was Andrew a Brit with a biting sense of humor. I egged him on. Robert, from the US, had lots of great recommendations. The jewelry was stunning. A few purchases ensued.
The second was Prapen (spelling is highly questionable0. We did this on our drive from Ubud to Sanur with Putu. This place is also very good and nowhere near as expensive. The power was out so it was hard to see, but some more purchases ensued. Definitely worth visiting.

Had dinner on Jimbarran Beach with Putu. The grilled snapper, prawns and crab were great. Very tasty. There was however a great deal of smoke that was somewhat bothersome.

Like others who have commented on this thread, I too visited Bali in 1988. (We should have had a GTG then!)
Spent a month - Rented a jeep, drove around on our own.
Most vivid memories:
- Attended cremation in the forest where they sold snacks and souvenir T-shirts.
- Walked into a roadside shop. Browsed. Tried to buy coffee table. Turns out the shop was, in fact, someone's living room.
- Vicious monkey attacked fellow guest at our inn in Ubud.
- Bought so many crafts (especially masks) that we sold some on the beach in Legian to other travelers before we shipped the rest home by slow boat.
This thread is making me want to go back, though my Australian friends said it was spoiled even then.

Ate lunch, salad and fresh rolls. Read some more. Watched a dance class for Balinese children at the hotel. Ridiculuosly cute.
Went for a beach massage. It was very good. The woman actually paid attention and did not chat with her friends as do most beach massagers.
Back to the room for a chat with B,B and K on the roof. Very relaxing.
Out to dinner at Ap Kobar (Sp?) recommended by Denis and Lorraine. The restaurant picked us up and dropped us back. D and L met us there. L demonstrated a drink concocted of Arak (a local rice wine), lime juice, Sprite and ice. Beth and Karen enjoyed this.
each couple got a dinner for two. Beth and I got the Seafood platter (150,000 Rupiah). t was quite good.
Back to the hotel. Some mild bantering with Bob and off to bed. Another brutal day.

crosscheck , people have been saying that Bali is spoiled for the last 30 years but I disagree. I prefer to say that since 1982 when I first went that it has evolved .Some things I have welcomed like expresso coffee as an alternative to Bali Coffee or Nescafe or the option of other foods to Indonesian whilst other things like greedy overdevelopment, traffic congestion and actual or threatened terrorism has come close to ruining the island or at least set it back .But what seems to stay the same are the deeply held religious beliefs and customs that distinguish Bali together with a gentleness and sense of fun of the people that has always been a delight .That is borne out by their ability to hold fast during adversity . So do not hesitate to go again.

Dinner last night at the Bali Collection mall. It's a very peculiar place. The shops and restaurants are not up scale as I would have thought. The restaurants all have a person out front encouraging passersby to go in.

There's a shuttle from the Bali Collection to the various hotels, but we took a cab each way for only 10,000 rupiah.
We bought some banana and sweet rolls from a bakery for breakfast. This way we can avoid the expensive breakfast at the Westin. It's not included with our free room through Starwood points.

On our full day in Singapore, we woke up and took a taxi to Maxwell food Center. It had been recommended by out taxi driver the evening before. It was about 1/2 open at 9:30 a.m.. We had some roti and a few sweet rolls. total cost S$6, about 1/5 of breakfats at the Meridien.'
We walked around Chinatown popping into shops as we chose. We ended up buying a wooden comb for some unknown reason.
We went into a Hindu temple and walked around. It was crowded.
We took a cab to IndoChine on Club street. In fact it was only 4 blocks from where we were, but we could not find it on the map. The cab had to go a roundabout way because of one way streets. We had a very good meal.
We walked to the MRT station with every intention of going up to Little India. However, when we went to buy our tickets, an older man began to help us. He inquired about our trip and we said we had about two hours to tour. he said he had been a guide for 25 years and we should skip Little India and go on a bum boat ride and walk around the area near the river. We followed hid suggestion.
The bum boat ride is sort of interesting and very cool on the water. It was a good idea.
We then went to the Asian Civilization Museum where we spent an hour in the gift shop. Bought several items.
We then walked up to Treue Blue. we were following Guenmai's advice. When we went to the East Coast Road location it had been closed. On our walk, we went through the Digital Mall on Bridge Street. There were lots of young boys tring out a new video game. We looked in on several watch stores, but escaped with no purchase.
When we found True Blue, it was closed until 6:00 p.m. and it was about 4:00 p.m. Once again, we popped in to the Asian Civilzation Gift Shop on Armenian street. beth bough a Kebiya with much kibitzing from several other shopgoers.
We took a taxi to the Seafood center. Unlike the Maxwell Food Center, this was not a bunch of hawker stalls. It was all restaurants. Even though we had advice to try Long Beach and No Signgard, we went to Jumbo because it had lots more people eating than either of the other two. We had Black Pepper Crab, Kai Lan and sweet and sour fish. the fish was very good as were the vegetables. the crab was good, but not as good as Eng Seng. There wasn't as much Black pepper sauce on the crab. You could taste the crab more, but the sauce was not as succulent as Eng Seng.
Cab back to the hotel, packed for our trip home.
We liked Singapore a lot. The food is great. The shopping is amusing. Walking amongst the low rise shop houses was fun. WE would definitely come back here.
Rizzutto- we would go back to the Alam Shanti in Ubud and Singapore at a different hotel. We would also go back to Sanur, but it is just a beach. All three were delightful. Nusa Dua is an antiseptic place. There's nothing Balinese or particularly interesting. Our stay was free, so we didn't waste any money, but it was a waste of time. I would say that Bali has so much more to offer that staying in Nusa Dua is a waste.

Thanks Kathie. We were posting at the same time. Hopefully, my previous post covered our Singapore adventure more thoroughly.
I note for the record that my lack of detail for the Bali portion was to avoid duplication with the POB. Also for the record, we loved Bali and would defintely return. In fact, Beth spoke several times of perhaps organizing a Fodors GTG in Bali in 2010. Not a bad idea. I'll speak to his Bobness on this issue. If anyone else has a vague interest, you should speak up now.

Welcome back. We figured you couldn't but have a great time. Now, we all need to see some pictures posted somewhere.
As for the Bali GTG -- sounds like a lot of fun. Is it true you will leave all the planning to Bob? Does that mean it will entail a mandatory stopover at the BKK Marriott?

Andy, I'm sure we'll return to Bali at some point in the next few years. So keep us posted about plans.

The key to vacationing with Bob is to give him simple tasks that take up a lot of his time. It keeps him from messing up the important stuff and gives him a feeling of accomplishment.

When in Bali, I had the "opportunity" to have fern-tip salad several times. It is not my favorite. However, the fish was always great. So were the grilled prawns.
I also note that several times when we ate with Putu, he asked to eat with his hands. he would grab a hunk of rice and scoop up whatever accompanied it.

Don't know if I mentioned it before, but I've decided the squirrels at the Westin in Nusa Dua have the easiest lives of any mammals. The weather is perfect. The hotel leaves nuts in boxes attached to various trees. The squirrels are not afraid of the guests and readily approach them for handoutys. In fact, they will come up to you while you're in the lounger, if you have food. They are not partial to shrimp crackers.

In Bali, I would go for a run, return and shower long before any of the others woke up. Speaking of which, it was fun to see the early morning activities before Ubud, Sanur and Nusa Dua came to life. People would be cleaning and setting up their commercial areas. In Sanur, on the beach path, most of the other runners were Balinese. I was surprised by this.

I would go with (1). The problem is not only the Request object, but the whole infrastructure needed for efficient communication ( MessageBytes, Headers, etc ). In both cases you'll need an adapter - if the connector defines an interface with set methods, you still need a container-specific object that implements that interface. If you use concrete objects - you'll need a container-specific adapter, that implements container-specific interfaces on top of the connector objects. In both cases you need an adapter - but in the first case you have much more "power" and flexibility in doing "smart" optimizations ( like delay the send of the headers or pre-processing more on the server side ). The connector must deal with the communication between servlet container and web server - and it must hide some of the complexity ( like how buffers are managed ).

A small paradise: removed from the world, it's a place to simply be happy
Trentino Alto Adige is situated in the very north of Italy bordering Austria and Switzerland, and is best known for the beauty of its peaks. Its territory stretches from the Adamello-Brenta range and the peaks of Ortles and Cevedale to the most striking mountains in Europe: the Dolomites of the Fassa Valley, Brenta, the Gardena and Fiemme Valleys and Pale di San Martino. This setting encloses an extraordinary variety of landscapes: snow-capped mountaintops, woods, wide valleys, streams, lakes, the enchanting play of light between the spires of the Dolomites, typical villages with soaring bell towers, and the myriad shades of unpolluted nature.
Hundreds of miles of ski slopes make this region a cutting-edge tourist destination - Madonna di Campiglio, Canazei, Moena, San Martino di Castrozza are the best known resorts, popular in both winter and summer for their natural surroundings, sport activities, and fun.
The landscape of Lake Garda is particularly picturesque; it narrows in Trentino, appearing as a fiord between the high mountains.
Land of confluence between Latin and Nordic worlds, Trentino Alto Adige is the guardian of a remarkable cultural heritage, made up of prehistoric evidence, charming castles, sanctuaries and towns with great historical and artistic significance.

March seat belt enforcement wave
March seat belt enforcement wave
Motorists will see extra patrols as troopers, deputies and city police officers work together March 21-30 enforcing Minnesota's seat belt and child passenger restraint laws. This extra enforcement event is a prelude to the annual May Click-it or Ticket enforcement that will be following in a few weeks, to kick off the summer safety enforcement campaigns by law enforcement.
Not only should everyone be properly buckled up, but parents of young children should make sure they are properly and consistently restraining their children so that they are safe and legal, every trip and every time. Parents are urged to attend child passenger safety/car seat clinics that may be held in their area, even if they think they are "doing it right".
Some child passenger restraint law basics:
• All children under age 8 must ride in a federally approved car seat or booster seat, unless the child is 4'9" or taller.
• Safety seats must be installed and used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Infants, under 20 pounds and one year of age, must be in a rear-facing safety seat.
• Law applies to all motor vehicles originally equipped with factory-installed seat belts and applies to both residents and non-residents of Minnesota.
• Law applies to all seating positions; Driver is responsible.
•Petty misdemeanor fine for violation is $50 (may be waived if violator shows proof of obtaining a safety seat within 14 days). Suspected non-use is a valid basis to stop a motor vehicle.
State Patrol Regional Public Information Officer Sgt. Curt Mowers said, "When it comes to seat belts, we always tell people that they shouldn't be as worried about getting caught by the police, rather, they should be worried about getting caught if they are in a crash because the price they pay for being unbelted or belted improperly may be life or limb, not just a monetary fine."
More information can be obtained by going to www.bucklupkids.org. The statewide Towards Zero Deaths (TZD) program is a formal initiative of the Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety.

ECB Draghi's press conference
According to the ECB president Mario Draghi, interest rates will remain at present or even lower levels for an extended period of time. The ECB sounds determined to take further decisive action if there are any downside surprises in the inflation.
More points to consider:
- The economy is recovering in line with the expectations, though some downside risks persist
- The region is experiencing a prolonged period of low inflation
- Inflation decline is caused by the energy price drop
- inflation is expected to stay around current levels in the coming months, expectations remain "firmly anchored"
- Unemployment still remains high
- EM turmoil may clud the EU recovery
- The banking union will return confidence to the markets
EUR/USD rallied to $1.3600 during the press-conference.

The littlest vampireMature
Arisa sat alone in the dark, her heart heavy. She still watched her great-grand nieces and nephews grow without ever knowing her name. She had seen them today, her brother's line. The twins were beautiful, so young and vibrant. But they would never know of their Great Grandfather's long dead sister. Even if she wasn't so dead. It hurt her to know the truth.
She still lived alone, after all these years, no one wanting the child around. no one took her seriously. But, then again, why would they? She appeared to be just twelve years of age, a sweet young child with innocence to spare. But in truth, she was a killer.
She shut her eyes against the wave of emotions. That poor young man. She hadn't meant to kill him. It was an accident. But going so long without feeding was a choice she had made. It was his fault for offering to help her.
And the Lycans. There were so many of them out any more. What were they hunting for? It wasn't a good sign. It frightened her.
And the one called Fenrir, he was ruthless. She had never dealt with him personally, but she had heard the stories. For being as old as she was, she shouldn't have been so nervous at the sound of those howls, but she was. She had dealt with a wolf once, a very long time ago. It had not ended well.
She brushed a hand through her thick, red hair, her mind racing as the wolves called out into the night. They were still hunting. Being out alone would be an unwise choice on her part. As a child, she would be easy prey, even if she was a vampire. No matter her age, she was still built like a twelve year old girl. She didn't have the speed, she wasn't super human strong. She was barely a vampire in her own mind. She was a little more that human, a little less than vampire, some where in between. And a vicious power she had yet to control by her own mind, even though she had lived with it for over a hundred years.
Arisa took off at a quick walk, wrapping her coat tightly around her. Maybe if she hurried she could avoid the wolves. The night was never kind to her, she was always in danger. A vampire scared of her own world was a thing to be ashamed of.
She wasn't so lucky.
Lycans, three of them, all muscle and bone, towering at least two feet above her barely four-foot frame. Those harsh yellow eyes turned on her, cruel smiles splitting their faces. Easy prey, she could see it in their eyes.
She turned and ran, but she wasn't nearly as fast as most vampires. They caught her easily. Her heart stopped. She was done for. Please.... please somebody find me... please help me...
All she could do was scream. And pray she could be heard.

One in 10 small businesses had employees show up for work last year while under the influence of at least one controlled substance.
A survey by small-business insurer Employers Holdings (EIG) found that 9.9% of small-firm owners acknowledge that they had workers who were under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, prescription painkillers or another substance in 2013. Alcohol was identified by 5.3% respondents, while 5.1% singled out marijuana or painkillers. Illicit narcotics were fingered by 1.1%, and 89.6% said that their employees used none of these substances.

Boston Mourns 8-Year-Old as Shrapnel Taken From VictimsEsmé E. Deprez, Annie Linskey and Kathleen Howley
The Boston Marathon bombing claimed the lives of an 8-year-old boy who loved baseball and a 29-year-old woman mourned by Facebook friends, who said she died at the scene of the carnage.
The two explosions killed three and injured more than 175, many recovering in hospitals with injuries including lost legs and other lower-extremity wounds from bombs laden with pellets and nail-like shrapnel, hospital officials said.
Martin Richard, an 8-year-old from Boston's Dorchster neighborhood, was among the dead in blasts that also injured his mother and sister. Krystle Campbell of suburban Medford, was also among the dead, according to Michael McGlynn, the town's mayor.
Authorities said they haven't determined the motive or perpetrators behind yesterday's explosions as evidence suggested the bombs were built inside metal pressure cookers and designed to maim as many people as possible.
The bombs left some victims with 40 or more pieces of metal embedded in their bodies, a hospital official said. The fragments were uniform, indicating that they came from the two bomb blasts and not from the surrounding environment, George Velmahos, chief of trauma surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital, said in a news briefing today. Doctors at the facility had performed four amputations and were monitoring two more at risk after bombing, he said.
"We just completed what the bomb had done," Velmahos said of the amputations.
Bomb Carnage
Doctors described war-like carnage resulting from the bomb blasts, which President Barack Obama has called acts of terror. Authorities in Boston continued scouring what they say is the most complex crime scene in the history of the Massachusetts capital, as details emerged of the victims who died and were severely wounded.
This morning, two Boston police cars guarded the Richard family home, a two-family residence in a diverse middle-class section of Dorchester. A Volvo wagon and Ford Explorer were parked in the driveway of the three-story, wood clapboard house.
Martin was a handsome, talented ball player who was "everything you want in a little kid," said Mike Christopher, the boy's Little League coach, in an interview.
"He pitched. He played shortstop, third base, first base. He could play anything you needed," Christopher said. "He was the type of kid you want on your team. It's hard to take."
`Dream Daughter'
Campbell had "beautiful freckles and bright red hair," said McGlynn, who said she was a "dream daugther" to her father.
Word of her death spread via social media Tuesday. A friend, Marc Hordon, posted on his company's Facebook page that she "was seldom caught not smiling and not expressing her opinion."
One of the most graphic and controversial images from the blast scene has been circulated extensively via Internet blogs. It captures a man wearing a two-toned gray shirt being rolled away in a wheelchair. At least one leg in a tourniquet at the thigh and the lower portion consisting of mere shreds. His identity and condition couldn't be determined.
In a short video circulated on the web, the body of a man in an orange tank top and black shorts crumples just feet from the finish line after his legs buckle inward from the blast's shock waves.
The Herald of Everett identified him as Bill Iffrig, a 78-year-old retired mason worker from Washington state. He was running his third Boston Marathon and escaped with just a scraped knee, placing second in his division, the newspaper said.
Lower Extremities
Most of the wounded suffered damage to their lower extremities, leading doctors to believe that the bomb must have been detonated from the ground up, Velmahos said. Doctors were treating three primary groups of injuries: internal bleeding, those sustained when falling to the ground from the bomb's shock wave, and embedded shrapnel particles.
It was too early to say whether the death toll would climb, though he described patients as "really pulling it together" and "amazingly resilient." Doctors could provide better care because of that, he said.
While Bostonians grieved, a sense that the fatalities could have been worse drew from the fact that the bombs exploded within a block of the marathon's medical tent. Also, Boston is home to one of the highest concentrations of medical facilities and personnel, meaning care wasn't far.

Diminutive Johnson a huge force for Lightning
By Larry Fine
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Undersized Tampa Bay Lightning forward Tyler Johnson, passed over in every NHL Draft he was eligible for, is silencing his critics by carrying the Tampa Bay Lightning on his shoulders in the thick of the playoffs.
The 5-9 (1.75m) Johnson, once considered too small for the NHL, has a playoff-leading 11 goals that have put the Lightning three wins away from upsetting the top-seeded New York Rangers and advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals.
"I don't think size really plays a big role," Johnson said on Monday after scoring short-handed, even strength and on the power to record the first hat trick in Lightning playoff history and tie the best-of-seven series at one game apiece.
"Everyone plays the game different regardless of how big you are, and you've just got to find what works for you."
Johnson, already being talked about as a front-runner to be named the playoffs' Most Valuable Player, set the tone early and at the expense of his former mentor while the host Rangers were on a two-man advantage.
Former Lightning player Martin St. Louis stumbled while trying to collect a pass and Tampa Bay's Alex Killorn pounced on the loose puck and sent Johnson on a breakaway for the game's first goal about five minutes after the opening faceoff.
Johnson added another goal shortly after the midway mark of the opening period and then scored what proved to be the game-winning goal eight minutes into the second period.
It was the 24-year-old American's fourth multi-goal game of the playoffs -- all of them coming when his team trailed in a series. Continued...
