The Under Armour Girl's HeatGear Armour 3" Shorty shorts are the perfect base layer for any athlete looking to up their game performance this summer season. They're equipped with so many different features that are designed to keep you cool, dry, fresh, and comfortable, while still maintaining their incredibly lightweight construction. These are the shorts you want to be wearing this summer season. These shorts are made with Under Armour's Compression structure. This locked-in fit increases muscle power so you'll feel like you can do anything. A compression fit also decreases the amount of time it takes for your muscles to rebuild and repair themselves, which then decreases your recovery time as well. This type of fit also increases blood flow and protects your body from getting injured, keeping you at the top of your game at all times. The shorts have a super soft jacquard elastic waistband with a rise, that sits just right on your hips, providing an incredibly comfortable and flattering fit. The Under Armour Girl's HeatGear Armour 3" Shorty shorts are also equipped with Under Armour's game changing HeatGear. Unlike ColdGear and AllSeasonGear, which are meant to be worn during winter and fall temperatures, this type of technology is designed to be worn during the extreme temperatures of the summer (75 degrees or above). The super lightweight fabric will deliver excellent coverage, but without weighing you down with any unnecessary bulk or weight. All HeatGear apparel features the Signature Moisture Transport System, 4-way stretch fabric, anti-microbial technology, and a flatlock seam construction. Under Armour's Signature Moisture Transport System is designed to wick sweat away from your body then push it to the surface of the fabric, where it can then evaporate at an incredibly rapid rate. The 4-way stretch fabric also assists with the drying process. Although this fabric allows you to move in any given direction without any restriction or difficulty, it also decreases the amount of time it takes for the fabric to dry. More often times than not, sweat is accompanied by unwanted odor. This fabric is treated in anti-microbial agents which are designed to specifically target odor causing microbes and completely eliminate them. So, altogether the Signature Moisture Transport System, 4-way stretch fabric, and anti-odor technology will keep you dry, cool, and fresh during the heat of your workout sessions. Lastly, the flatlock seam construction will keep your skin from getting irritated while you move around. The seams are constructed to lay flat against your skin, completely eliminating all chances of rubbing, chafing, or any type of irritation from the flatlock seam construction. Overall, the Under Armour Girl's HeatGear Armour 3" Shorty shorts are a perfect base layer to be wearing during your summer training sessions. They equipped with Under Armour's amazing HeatGear technology that will keep you dry, cool, fresh, and comfortable while working hard under the sweltering sun.

Activities such as a once in a lifetime balloon ride or open vehicle game drives from Dunia Camp, offer an excellent variety of habitats and combine Migration watching with the search for big cats as well as rhino – Moru Kopjes currently being the only area of the Serengeti where this illustrious animal can be viewed.
Dunia's superb tents are carefully placed on a peaceful campsite in the beautiful Nyareboro area, just north of Moru Kopjes. A close-knit team of staff provides guests with a warm welcome and prepares delicious bush meals under the stars of the Serengeti sky.

David Carducci reports from Berea this afternoon that the Browns have made a couple of roster moves in advance of Sunday's game against the Chargers.
The Browns have activated Craig Osika from the practice squad to the roster. In order to make room, the team has released wide receiver / kick returner C.J. Jones.
The Browns will need to wait to see if Jones can clear waivers before they can potentially re-sign him to the practice squad. BerniesInsiders.com will track the waiver wire to see if another team picks up the speedy WR from Iowa. The Browns earlier this year played with making Jones a defensive back, but he has returned to his previous role as a receiver.
In other news, OL Shaun O'Hara denied printed reports that he hurt himself celebrating. O'Hara told reporters this afternoon that he actually injured himself against the Bengals earlier this season. O'Hara said that he had been playing through the injury, but that he re-injured himself during the final drive of the Raiders game.
Commenting on a report from BerniesInsiders.com that he would be unlikely to play before the Browns visit Kansas City, O'Hara said that he was still hopeful of being able to play sooner, and would try to return when the Browns face New England a week from Sunday.

No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.
- Lord Byron
Wondering what hed gotten himself into, Remus hoisted his trousers up and struggled with the zipper. A birthday party? Dancing? He bit on his lip and studied his reflection. It wasnt fair, he thought sulkily Emilies power over him. He was quite positive that, with a single smile, she could convince him to throw himself of Britains highest building.
He blew out a long, deep sigh. His hair was still wet from his shower; it stuck out with a messiness that could rival that of Jamess hair. In an attempt to flatten it, Remus combed it with his fingers.
It took him a moment to realize someone had knocked on the front door, and when he did, mild panic surged through him. Emilie? Already? A quick glance on the clock told him that she was only two minutes early, which meant that he was running late. He threw on the old, white shirt hed flung over his chair yesterday evening, struggling with the sleeves as he hurried out of his room.
His feet hit the last two steps of the stairs, just as his mother opened the door. Hello, dear, she said, and Remus squeezed his eyes shut in despair. Can I help you?
He opened his eyes just in time to see Emilie reply. Hello, Mrs. Lupin, she said, a sweet smile on her lips. Im here to pick up Remus?
Oh, do come in, love, his mother said, her voice pleasant as she stepped aside to let Emilie enter. You must be Franciss daughter.
Emilie nodded, her head slightly tilted. She looked beautiful, Remus noticed, her curls held up by a large, red clip. Sticking out her hand, she gave his mother the kind of smile that had gotten Remus in this mess to begin with. Its a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Lupin.
Same here, dear, his mother smiled widely as she shook Emilies hand. My, Remus never mentioned you were this lovely!
Remus wasnt quite sure, but he thought he could see Emilie blush, and he decided that it was time to interfere. Gathering all the Gryffindor courage he had in him, he stepped down the stairs and walked into the hallway.
Oh, there he is, his mother said, grinning as she gave him an all-too-obvious wink. Remus, dear, you never told me what a lovely young girl Emilie is!
Emilies blush intensified. Remus cleared his throat and looked at his feet.
After a nervous cough, Emilie regained her self-confidence. Youre not wearing that tonight, are you? she asked him teasingly, staring at his grass-stained T-shirt.
Eh, Remus managed to get out, his cheeks a dark shade of red, no. Im actually running a little late.
Emilie smiled. Thats all right. Well simply show up fashionably late.
His mother was not so forgiving, however. Well, hurry up then, Remus, she said, glaring. You cant keep a lady waiting! She then turned to Emilie, her expression softening. Now, dear, would you like a cup of tea?
No! Remus exclaimed, mildly shocked. He could just imagine his mother having tea with Emilie, telling her his childhood stories and quite possibly scaring Emilie away with all kinds of magical terms and artefacts. I mean, he continued lamely, I ehm need her to help me choose a shirt.
Emilie gracefully arched an eyebrow, and even his mother looked sceptic. All right then, his mother said slowly, giving him a suspicious look. But youre leaving your bedroom door open, mister.
Yes, mum, he said, mortified, his cheeks aflame. Come on, Emilie.
He almost ran up the stairs, desperate to get away from his mother. As he walked into his room, he hastily shoved a dirty pair of jeans underneath his bed and turned around, smiling apologetically at Emilie. Sorry Im late. I just
Didnt really want to go? Emilie finished his sentence, her eyebrows raised.
No, thats not Remus started to protest, but trailed off when he saw her incredulous look. Well yes," he admitted. "But thats not why Im late. I just lost track of the time.
She laughed, looking around his room. Thats quite all right, she said. I dont mind. Your mum seems nice and your room is interesting.
Remus grimaced, and he quickly stuffed some of his school books into his nightstand he wasnt sure hed be able to explain having a copy of The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 6) lying around.
Nice room, Emilie said, placing her hands on her hips. She moved over to his desk, studying the collection of Muggle books piled up there. Shes very pretty, she commented a moment later, her eyes on a picture of him and Lily.
Remus smiled, remembering how Lily had practically forced him to go on the picture with her. Yes, she is, isnt she?
Emilie looked at him over her shoulder, a small smile upon her lips. Is she your girlfriend?
He almost laughed out loud. Heavens, no. James would hex he bit his lip, searching for another way to express himself, punch the daylights out of anyone brave enough - or foolish enough, really - to ask her out.
Smiling, she leaned back against his desk. Nice, she commented sardonically. I bet she just loves that.
Hes fancied her for years, Remus explained, sitting down on his bed, but he goes about it all wrong. He watched as Emilie wandered over to the other end of his desk, and was very glad that he hadnt put up any of his Quidditch posters yet.
As she stepped into the light of his lamp, Remus noticed that she was still wearing her flip-flops. She had chosen to wear a knee-long skirt and a bright red top tonight, however. You ehm he stammered, you look very lovely tonight.
He resisted the urge to smack himself over the head; he had sounded just like his mother!
A blush crept up Emilies cheeks. Thanks, she smiled, placing her hands in her lap as she sat down next to him, her fingers straightening her skirts colourful flower-motif. Lets find you something to wear as well, shall we?
She stood up again and walked over to his wardrobe, rummaging through his clothes. Interesting, she said, smiling curiously as she pulled out one of his Hogwarts robes. Do you actually wear this?
Well... yes. Its a bit of an old-fashioned school, Remus explained, moving to stand next to her. He pulled his bottom lip between his teeth, hoping she wouldnt notice the cauldron stashed away in the darkest corner of his wardrobe.
I see, she said. Now did you really want me to choose a shirt, or ?
Remus scratched his eyebrow, an abashed grin upon his lip. Not really, he confessed. Its just that my mum well, she can be very intimidating at times.
Letting out an amused snort, Emilie pushed one of his shirts into his hand. She seemed like a very nice woman to me but yes, I get your point. Sometimes, its as if mothers exist for the sole purpose of embarrassment.
He smiled, taking his shirt from her. It was a dark shade of blue, its buttons tiny white squares.
Brings out your eyes, Emilie said, winking. I bet youll look fetching in it.
He lowered his gaze to the shirt as he unbuttoned it, his cheeks burning. When he undid the very last button, she was still smiling at him, and he uncomfortably cleared his throat. He couldnt very well change in front of her, now could he? Could you maybe he gestured for her to turn around.
Oh! Emilie exclaimed, and he was grateful for the rosy blush kissing her cheeks at least he wasnt the only one embarrassed by the situation. Im sorry, she muttered, and turned around.
He quickly pulled his T-shirt over his head and stuck his arms in the shirt's sleeves, shooting anxious glances at Emilies back. When he was done, he cleared his throat again.
She turned around, clapping in her hands the second she saw him. Very fetching, indeed, she complimented him, the tone of her voice playful. Remus wasnt quite sure how she did it, but she got him blushing again. Lets see, she said, raising her hands to the top button of his shirt.
He inhaled nervously, distressed by the nearness of her. Instead of calming him, however, the gasp only served to excite him further, for he had breathed in the sweet fragrance of Emilies perfume.
There, she said, unbuttoning his shirt's top button and loosening his collar. Her fingers brushed briefly over the skin of his neck, her touch feather-light. Remuss breath hitched in his throat, and he bit his lip, thinking of the scar that had to be showing by now.
When she finally stepped away from him, he fought to regain his control. Thats better, she said. You look smashing.
He fumbled with his collar, but decided to leave it as it was shed already seen the scar, anyway. Thank you, he managed to get out, his voice hoarse.
Smiling, she pushed a loose curl behind her ear. No problem, she said. With a mischievous grin, she added, I cant say that my motivations were all that honourable.
The loud tones of Elton Johns Island Girl drifted through the sweet summer air. A number of people had already gathered around several snack-laden tables, and several others were dancing underneath the large number of lampions dangling from the pergola.
It looks quite nice, Emilie commented quietly, observing the garden.
Remus nodded slowly, noticing the familiar faces of the people he had gone to primary school with. It had been a while since he had last seen most of them.
Remus! Emilie! You made it!
From the corner of his eye, Remus noticed Emilie rolling her eyes.
Hey Marissa, Emilie greeted Marissa, returning the girl's hug only briefly. Happy birthday. She handed her a tiny, carefully wrapped present.
Marissa smiled widely. Thanks, Em. She tore at the wrapping paper with impatient fingers, and opened the small box. Oh! she gasped, A mood ring! Swell! Thank you! And she hugged Emilie again, oblivious to the reluctance with which Emilie returned the hug.
Youre welcome, Emilie said after having been released by Marissa.
Marissa then smiled at Remus and hugged him so tightly that, for a moment, he feared shed never let go. Happy birthday, he breathed out, handing her his present. I hope youll like it.
She smiled up at him from underneath her eyelashes. Im sure I will. She carefully removed the wrapping paper, revealing a hardbound copy of Oliver Twist. Oh, thanks, Remus, she said, smiling brightly, but Remus was certain hed seen a look of disappointment dart across her face.
I ehm I hope you like Dickens, he said uncomfortably, stuffing his hands into the pockets of his jeans.
Yes, yes, she smiled. I do. Thanks. She reached up and kissed him on his cheek. Remus caught Emilie smirking at him, and he glared briefly at her. Well, Marissa continued, conjuring her usual, ear-to-ear smile back upon her face, if you want something to drink or eat, the snack tables are over there. She gestured vaguely at the throng of people in front of the snack-tables. Have fun!
When Marissa had left, Emilie breathed out a loud sigh of relief and rolled her eyes.
You dont like her very much, do you? Remus asked, laughing.
Emilies face turned serious again. Marissa?
He nodded.
I suppose I dont, she admitted. Shes so irritatingly perfect. Always smiling. And, not to mention, a major bore.
Remus gave her a half-smile. What about me? he asked her uncertainly. Am I a bore, too? He was well aware of the fact that he was less daring and less exciting than, for instance, James and Sirius were.
Her lips twitched briefly, and she placed her hand upon his arm. Far from it, she reassured him, smiling gently. Youve saved me from complete and utter boredom, remember? What I meant is Marissa can get super-excited over absolutely nothing. Emilie scrunched up her nose in distaste. And thats annoying.
Unable to suppress a smile, he nodded. That sounded just like the Marissa hed gone to primary school with. Seems like youve got her all figured out.
As they wandered towards the snack-tables, the fabric of Emilies skirt brushed against his hand, and his eyes fluttered shut briefly. So tell me, Remus what do you think of her?
For the second time that evening, Remus could've sworn Emilie's voice had been tinged with jealousy. Remus felt his heart jump. Hm, he said slowly, looking for the right words to describe Marissa. Im not sure. Shes very nice, but well I think you pointed out her weaker points quite accurately.
She fancies you, Emilie stated matter-of-factly. She looked up at him curiously, awaiting his reaction.
Remus felt himself blush. What made you say that?
Its true, she told him, helping herself to a glass of coke. My dad said shes crazy about you.
He raised his eyebrows. Did he now? Shaking his head, he filled his own glass with orange juice. Why would your father know who Marissa fancies?
Emilie cocked her head to the side. Hes dating Marissas mum, Gaby. Its quite sickening, really. Her face momentarily clouded, and he regretted bringing the subject up. Its always Gaby this and Gaby told me that or I heard from Gaby It's enough to drive any sane person absolutely mad.
Nodding, Remus met her eyes. Youre jealous of her, he concluded quietly.
Of Marissa? Emilie asked, surprised. Or Gaby?
He shrugged, giving her a gentle smile. Both, I suppose.
Tapping her fingers against her glass, she gave her head a slow nod. I guess I am jealous. I mean my dads either at work or at Gabys. Her gaze crossed his briefly, before she raised it to the star-sprinkled sky. Its its just not very fair, you know? Im his daughter. Hes my dad. My dad.
He nodded, and touched her arm lightly. Its only normal that youre jealous. Id be jealous as well. Forgetting all about his nervousness, he took her hand into his. Dance with me?
A smile slipped upon her lips, her moment of self-reflection far behind her. She lowered her glass to the table and gently squeezed his hand. I thought youd never ask.
They danced on quite a number of songs, and Remus mainly enjoyed having Emilie so close to him. He could smell whiffs of her perfume at times a sweet, flowery scent and when he closed his eyes, he could imagine having her in his arms, dancing on slower songs.
He opened his eyes. Hmm?
Emilie tilted her head slightly, her large, brown eyes staring up at him. Im sorry if I pushed you so hard yesterday. She lowered her gaze, a light blush upon her cheeks. I knew you didnt want to go and still I told Marissa wed come.
Giving her a lopsided grin, he spun her around. Dont worry, he told her, smiling down at her. Im having a good time. Sometimes I just need a push in the right direction.
Still Emilie mused, her eyes a little sad. I shouldnt have pressed you into coming.
Honestly, Remus insisted, It's all right. Im used to it. He fleetingly thought of James and Sirius, and grinned.
Emilie smiled weakly, dropped his hand and brushed a strand of hair out of her face. Do you want to go for a drink?
He felt his heart sink. Would her regrets about yesterday ruin tonight? His anxious mind, however, was quickly put to rest: Emilie suddenly turned around, a teasing grin on her face as she sung along to the song being played. I believe in miracles where are you from? you sexy thing!
Blushing furiously as she placed her hands upon his shoulders and put extra emphasis on the last couple of words, Remus ignored her teasing eyes and followed her to the snack-tables.
Tonight was going to be a long night.
Emilie's head moved on the music's rhythm, her curls escaping from the red clip, flying about. A long night, he thought with a smile, but a good one.
In Scotland, huh. Nice, Timothy said, nodding in approval.
Remus shifted uneasily under the stares of the people he had gone to primary school with. He wasnt used to this much attention.
So Anna began, and Remus simply knew that she was going to ask what all of them were dying to know. If you dont mind me asking what happened to your face?
I ehm I had an accident, he lied, ill at ease. He stuffed his hands into the pockets of his jeans, and balled them into fists, pressings his nails down into the palms of his hands. I dont really like to talk about it, he added, and Anna and Timothy gave him sympathetic and understanding looks.
Soon after, the crowd of people surrounding him dispersed a little, and he caught sight of Emilie again, sitting on a table. She smiled sweetly at him, and he felt his heart leap.
Lets dance, she said, placing her hand into his as she slid off the table. I love this song.
The beginning notes of a slow song rang through the air, and Remus blushed. Do I he gestured at her shoulders and waist. Should I hold you?
Emilie peered up at him from underneath her lashes. Do you want to?
His cheeks grew even hotter. Yes? he tried, his throat dry.
Placing one hand upon his shoulders, she pulled him a bit closer. He hesitated for a moment. On my waist, she smiled when it was obvious he wasnt certain of what to do. He tentatively put his hand upon her waist, just above the gentle swelling of her hip.
He could feel the movement of Emilies slow swaying, and he closed his eyes, his body on fire. She brought their joined hands between them and stepped a little closer to him. Her body brushed lightly against his with every move she made, and her fingers gently moved over the skin of his neck, her touch feather-light. It was the most exquisite torture Remus had ever endured.
Her top moved lightly, and suddenly, there was bare skin underneath his fingers. He gulped, fighting for self-control as his hands traced the edges of her top. This is a good song, he commented, his voice breaking.
The latest Barry Manilow, she told him, Could It Be Magic. Remus nodded nervously, hoping that she couldnt feel how sweaty the palms of his hands were. Should he kiss her? Did she want him to kiss her?
He made a small misstep and stumbled forward. Giggling a little, she caught his fall.
Sorry, he mumbled, embarrassed.
She giggled again. Dont be, she whispered, and Remus leaned a bit closer to her. Her curls caressed his cheek lightly, and he tilted his head a little, smelling her shampoo the sweet scent of cinnamon and apple. A heavy feeling rose to his chest, and he closed his eyes, deciding to let the feeling wash over him.
There was no doubt about it, he thought idly; this was magic.
The song was drawing near its end, and Remus reluctantly felt Emilie pull back. Opening his eyes, he found her looking up at him.
Remus she began, a hint of uncertainty in her voice. I Im She trailed off hesitantly, giving his hand a light squeeze.
Remus wondered once more whether or not she expected him to kiss her. What would happen if he did, and she only wanted to be friends? What if he messed up? Im really glad we went, she finally said, an insecure smile upon her lips. Her lips he thought distractedly, glancing at them. Was she wearing lip-gloss?
Remus nodded, bringing his eyes back to hers. So am I, he said, still at struggle with himself should he? He fought to control his desires; it was safer to wait, he decided, to wait and be certain she wanted the same.
For a second, it seemed as though Emilie wanted to say something else, but she smiled and moved closer to him again, laying her head against his shoulder. He tensed slightly as he felt her breath skim over the skin of his neck. It felt too good, having her in his arms, and he was convinced that it wouldnt last. The song faded into another song, and he slowly raised his gaze to the evening sky.
The moon was almost full.
Thank you so much for all your reviews! I really appreciate the time you spend writing them. It's also very reassuring to me... at least I'm not writing *complete* crap. So anyway... thanks. It means a lot to me.

Mark Driscoll on the Resurrection
Interview with Mark Driscoll
UPDATESIn July 2008 I was able to record a video interview with Mark Driscoll. There are also a lot of other posts about him on my blog.In January 2008, the following post was identified as the number one all-time most popular post with readers of this blog. The 2nd most-read post was "Blogging, Discernment, and a Book by Tim Challies."Back in April 2006, I had only recently heard of Mark Driscoll. When we conducted this interview, he was already prompting quite a significant response … [Read more...]
Mark Driscoll publicly apologizes to Brian Maclaren & Doug Pagitt
Since I foolishly set myself up recently as some kind of unofficial tone police" for the Blogdom of God, I was a little surprised that no one has picked me up on an apparent inconsistency. You see, I have been written very positively about Mark Driscoll without ever raising my one nagging thought about the tone he had used in certain places. I love the guy, his preaching style, his theology, his commitment but there have been a couple of occasions where my sensitive British ears (or rather … [Read more...]

But, I eventually had to distance myself from the Emergent stream of the network because friends like Brian McLaren and … [Read more...]
Discovering Mark Driscoll
This week, the name Mark Driscoll came up in my reading once again. I decided it was about time I found out a bit more about him, and about time I listened to one of his sermons. I figured that John Piper is a pretty good judge of a person, and if he had invited Mark to speak at his conference, then it was at least worth listening to him!I really wasn't quite sure what to expect when I turned on his sermon on 1 Corinthians 1 which launced his exposition series through this epistle- this sermon … [Read more...]

With every sono, every kick, every movement the last few weeks I've been wondering if my little one has turned. Even though I am 33 weeks, you would think I have plenty of time but after my most recent hospital stay, time isn't on my side. You may recall reading about my breech babe here. Well, good news! If you saw my latest post you will see that he decided to listen and turn. He is now in position! Head down, dropped and ready to vacate. With the help of frozen peas of course!
As soon as I heard the word c-section and talks about scheduling one at some point, I freaked. I've been so lucky to have four fairly easy vaginally deliveries. Some even natural, no drugs. So – having a c-section for my final delivery? Not the plan of choice. With that said, my doctor suggested doing handstands. Yes, handstands. Well, let me tell you. This gal is not even close to being able to do a handstand. I can't remember the last time I actually did one on the ground. I can recall doing a few in the pool over the summer but I haven't done a handstand since I was in gymnastics class. Well, I was 10. Needless to say, that was out.
So, I took it upon myself, with the help of Google to see just what else I could do to get this baby to move on down. The only thing that seemed simple involved a bag of cold veggies. And it just so happened I had some organic frozen peas in the fridge.
The plan of action was to sit for 30 minutes 4 times during the day with the frozen peas right on the babies head. He was so high up, I could hardly breathe so I knew exactly where his little noggin was plus he has been in the same exact position forever. Well, since I can remember.
I heard that if you place something cold where you don't want them to be, the natural instinct is to get to where it's warm. So I placed a very warm washcloth "down there" and popped the frozen bag of peas on the top of my belly. I'm thrilled to report, it worked! And so now I will be worrying about him flipping back. Docs say it's not likely.
Did you have any techniques to get your little one to turn or did the flip happen naturally?

Watch Out Governor!
Too close for comfort is how aides of Governor Rick Scott describe his encounter with a rattlesnake while he toured a Naples sanctuary Tuesday morning.
Scott, who was speaking at Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary as part of his "Let's keep Florida Beautiful" tour, came dangerously close to an eastern diamondback rattlesnake.
The snake was just feet away from the governor as he was preparing to leave. Witnesses alerted him immediately upon seeing the snake and it slithered back into the woods. Only our cameras caught exclusive video.
The eastern diamondback rattlesnake is the largest venomous snake in North America, according to National Geographic.

IT Process Analysis and Design
Díaz & Hilterscheid analyzes with you the IT processes in your company with regard to their effectiveness and performance. Using standardized models and procedures (CMMI®, SPICE, TPI®, ITILv3®) our IT process experts objectively determine the maturity of your processes and identify possibilities for optimization and rationalization.
According to your objectives we create with you an improvement strategy in the areas of software development, quality assurance and test and IT service management. If required, we will remodel these processes and accompany you in the implementation of the changes. We are available to your team for business aspects or consulting.
Díaz & Hilterscheid constructs with you a process management which suits your needs and which enables you to reliably deal with the introduction, change, configuration and documentation of your IT processes, as well as with any problems which may occur.
Quality management
Achieving excellent results with regard the capabilities of an organization and the quality of its products requires a strategic, all-encompassing quality management. Of central concern is the assurance and continual improvement of all operational procedures in the company.
Díaz & Hilterscheid accompanies your quality control on the basis of standardized models (ISO, EFQM) and defines your company policy with you in a quality management handbook. We check on the efficiency and documentation of your business and IT processes and optimize your risk and innovation management, the use of techniques and tools, and the quality of your data. We train your staff and get them involved to the appropriate degree with the quality management.
Díaz & Hilterscheid sets up metrics with you so that quality can be measured. This makes the achievement of your quality objectives measurable and enables long-term process optimization, risk reduction, cost savings and an increase in customer satisfaction.
Requirements Management
Keeping within the calculated time and budget in software development projects, while achieving the desired quality, depends to a large extent on the detailed formulation of requirements. This can reduce substantially the scope for interpretation in the development and maintenance of software.
Díaz & Hilterscheid defines with you an efficient development and management process with which the requirements in your organization can be documented, prioritized, structured, changed, checked and controlled. We will consult with you regarding the correct, complete and consistent capture and formulation of your functional and non-functional requirements. We will make you aware of the business and organizational risks as well as dependencies to members of the project.
In addition to this we offer as accredited training provider the recognized training course "IREB® Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering" as well as effective coaching.
Data Quality Management
Taking care of the company's data is a very time consuming and effort intensive activity which has up to now contributed to its neglect. Poor data quality can, however, have a highly negative impact on a company's results; it can lead to incorrect decisions, incorrect reports, incorrect accounting and failed projects. The consequences and market perceptions resulting from bad data quality are disastrous since they are often associated with a substantial loss of image.
Díaz & Hilterscheid works with you to construct or optimize your data quality management. The objective is to identify incorrect or redundant data, to correct errors and to prevent them from happening in the future by adopting specific measures and establishing processes for data quality management. We develop with you individual strategies and implementation concepts, and we are there for you during roll-out. We synchronize the various divergent interests in your company, whether this is between the business and IT departments or between those that make the data available, administer it or use it. If you wish, we will support your staff in this respect.
Project Management
Professional project management means actively controlling and structuring complex activities in an objective-oriented, risk-based way, including the analysis of requirements, design, implementation, test and acceptance. The objective is to achieve the desired product quality within the planned time period and according to budget.
Díaz & Hilterscheid supports you in the specific formulation of your project objectives and plans the project implementation with you on the basis of defined requirements and available resources. To achieve this we create a time and cost plan, define milestones and evaluate existing processes. We provide estimates for requirements changes and for possible critical situations, and develop with you risk-based alternative plans of action.
Díaz & Hilterscheid consults you regarding the composition of your development and project teams and accompanies them during the entire implementation.

Customer review on 24/07/2008
The book is fantastic, I am very happy with the purchase.
Customer review on 23/11/2009
This is a book every family in the western world should have in their library.
It just makes sense. The ability to put the power of healing back in the hands of people is a quantum leap forward in curing cancers. I am day 8 of 42 into this program and yes I feel great. I am amazed how a body can live on just juice and teas but I can attest that it is not only possible it is real. Oh by the way I do have multiple Myeloma ( bone marrow cancer) which the medical industry say is 'incurable'
This is my reason for doing the program. But their are others.
As a weight loss program you will find no better nor faster. I have lost 5 kilos in 8 days. My energy levels are getting better. I expect to lose about 12-15 kg in the 42 day period. Thats an awful lot of gym work outs to compete with those figures.
Get this book and I swear you will use it even if it is to slightly change your diet.

NJ Eyes Its Share of Stimulus Package
New York, NY —
While New York City officials are expecting $3.4 billion in aid from President Obama's stimulus package, New Jersey officials are still waiting to find out what they're going to get. WNYC's Bob Hennelly has more.
REPORTER: What is known is that the house may grant New Jersey $770 million in aid for highways and bridges, and another $430 million for mass transit. Also house budget-makers are adding $230 million for clean water projects. That adds up to $1.5 billion for Jersey infrastructure. The Senate's allocations are still pending. Meanwhile, both New Jersey and New York middle class households who make $75,000 and up were granted a one-year shield from the Alternative Minimum Tax by the Senate Finance Committee. Providing that relief nationwide is expected to add $70 billion to the Obama Administration's $825 billion recovery program, bringing the price tag closer to $900 billion. For WNYC, I am Bob Hennelly.

I go down to the bay almost every day. I like it best when the breeze is just right and the birds are singing. Sometimes I'll get lucky and find a turtle. I like to see the funny looking crabs try to hurry across the sandy road. I like to count the numbers of different sounds and shadows.
There is no litter or not too many people down there so it's nice and peaceful. Sometimes if you listen hard it sounds like the wind is whispering something like a song, and it repeats itself every time the wind blows. I get so interested my mom has to come to get me.
I'm glad I live by the bay because every day is a new adventure .
John DiOrio
I think that the Delaware Bay and the Maurice River are important because they provide us with fish, crabs, oysters, clams, and mussels. The back marshes help protect the young fish and crabs until they grow big enough to swim to the open bay and river.
In late spring to early summer the horseshoe crabs come into shore along the bay to lay their eggs. About the same time the shorebirds, like the ruddy turnstone, are migrating north and stop to feed on the horseshoe crab eggs. Then they finish their journey northward.
There are many butterflies that are commonly seen, like the common sulphur, hairstreak, monarch, tiger swallowtail, black swallowtail, cabbage white, and crescentspot. And there are some that are not so common, like the gulf fritillary, giant swallowtail, great southern white, falcate orangetip, giant cloudless sulphur, and long-tailed skipper.
Many of the butterflies are around this area because of the plants and flowers that are here. Three of the monarch's favorite plants are the milkweed, dogbane, and butterflyweed. All of these are common along the river and bay area. Other butterflies feed on many of the plants that are grown in the area, like Queen Anne's lace, beebalm, clover, spicebush, vetch, and chicory.
Each year more ospreys are being seen nesting along bay and marshes. There are more osprey stands being put up, and the ospreys are finding them and making nests on them. Each year the number of ospreys are going up. Eagles are also seen, but only rarely. Maurice River and Delaware Bay are special places because they don't have the pollution or large population that other parts of New Jersey have. I hope that when I get older it is still the way it is now.
Grayson Hooper
As I watch the water of the Delaware Bay ruffle, I can't help but think to myself the importance of the bay to the animal society. The bay is a wonderland of living creatures. As the life cycle goes on, the bay stays the same in its inner beauty.
I personally love the bay. I like to fish and walk along the sparkling shores of the bay. The bay is also very fragile in its workings. If the cycle is disturbed by too much industry, the animals will perish in mankind's greedy hunt for money. The fish and other organisms are the owners of the bay. I hope in the future the bay will still be in its original form. This is one of God's prized creations.
Krysta Parker
When I go to the Delaware Bay it makes me feel relaxed. I love to go down by the edge of the water and just barely let my toes touch it. Sometimes I like to go off by the lighthouse and try to catch butterflies. I like to feel the soft sand on my feet and in between my fingers.
When I go down to the Delaware Bay I like to collect shells, take them home and paint little pictures on them. For Easter my grandmother collected some and let me paint on them. After I was done, I took them home and hung the shells on a tree. I put it in a basket and then set it on my dining room table. It really made it look nice! One time, my grandmother and I decided to go down to the lighthouse and try to paint a picture of it. Well, the greenheads started to attack us because it was summertime. So finally my grandmother and I agreed that we should go in the water. Then we ran in the water and had a good time!
About a year ago, my parents, my dog , and I went down to the lighthouse to cool off my dog because it was very hot out. My dog and I went in the water together because she got me all wet while she was running around. It was really, really fun! If I could live down near the lighthouse, I would!
Latasha Archie
I think the river is very beautiful. There are so many things you could do, for instance, I like to pick flowers and give them to my mother. I always wanted to go fishing in a boat with my aunt. I also like to build sand castles, but mine never come out right. I like the way the waves sound when they brush against a big rock and I imagine the clouds as animals .
I also like to catch flounder and eat it. My mom, my brother, and I went to the river with the dog so he could run wild. My mom was picking up the king crabs and was chasing me and my brother. Then we took a long walk in the mud. When we went home, our shoes were black. Even though we were messy, I had a nice time and can't wait to go again.
Ronnie Riggins
As the water from the Maurice River splashes up on my face, where I fell off water skiing, I wonder: "What would I do without all of this? Without the beautiful flowers and the awesome Bald Eagle flying above us. Without the best tasting fish, without the cool refreshing water, without the crabs biting my toes, what would I do?"
Probably sit home and watch T.V. and become fat. Without the Maurice River and Delaware Bay, I wouldn't get a lot of exercise because I wouldn't be reeling in fish, or swimming, or even falling off of the water skis.
As I swim back to the boat I continue to think about the Maurice River. It is where I live in the summer. Without the river and Delaware Bay there would be no summer fun in the sun. I would probably become bored with this town!!!

Grim Dawn - Relics of the Past Update
Welcome back to Grim Misadventures! If you haven't yet heard, we recently released a Major update to the game: Act II!
You can read the announcement here.
Act II is a huge addition, easily doubling the amount of content and introducing many new challenges. Powerful new enemies demand powerful new items, and sometimes that means reaching out to a trusted blacksmith for assistance. We have hinted at these powerful artifacts before, but we are now finally ready to unveil the last item type in Grim Dawn: Relics!
Relics are implements of incredible power and only a few people in the world even know of the process required for their creation. Much of this craft had been lost to the Grim Dawn, scattered in the form of blueprints. It is up to you to tread into the vestiges of humanity's once mighty empire to recover fragments of this lost knowledge.
***As with many of our previous updates, what you see below can change before its final debut***
Relics come in three tiers: Empowered, Transcendent and Mythical. Each tier represents a significant rise in power, but so does the challenge in acquiring them. Only the truly worthy heroes will find themselves in possession of the most powerful Mythical Relics.

SP/MP: Single + MP
Setting: Fantasy

Weely Famitsu Rates Dissidia Final Fantasy
Weekly Famitsu's Cross Review Panel gave Dissidia Final Fantasy a pretty solid 10,9,9,8 (36/40) in their latest round of reviews, a little higher than Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII's 9,9,8,9 (will try to get more info on what's being said in the review later). More review scores of other titles after the jump.
Update: The review's intro says it takes 40 hours to complete the Story Mode and more than 100 hours to unlock everything. Most of the reviewers agree that the controls are easy and the customization options are rich. The story also gets some praise for more than just a gathering of FF characters. Same goes to the battle actions, one of them love the pursuit battles that require players to attack and defend at the same time while another compare them to scenes in Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. However, there are a couple of complains, one of reviewers says it's hard to keep track of things sometimes while another think there are plenty of special terms being used, and a tutorial would be nice.

Bakary Sako has spoken of his delight at getting up and running quickly since his transfer from St Etienne.
The 24-year-old winger has caught the eye with two goals in two games.
He followed his fine late bullet at Aldershot with a sublime free-kick at Cardiff.
"It's been a good start to me to get two goals in my first two games for Wolves," he said.
"But I was sad and disappointed that we lost at Cardiff.
"Hopefully I will get more goals but more importantly I hope we will get results.
"We need to win some matches and I think we will."
Sako believes Wolves will soon show signs of improvement when their seven summer arrivals blend into the squad.
Continued > > >
"It has been difficult when we were sorting the move but I feel I have settled quickly," he said.
"But I still think I will get better and all the new players will.
"When we've been here a few weeks we will feel even more settled and everything will be normal to us.
"The other players have welcomed all of us to the club and we are looking forward to the next games.
"I can't wait to hopefully play at Molineux for the first time against Leicester next week."
*Scotland boss Craig Levein has confirmed that Christophe Berra will link-up with Scotland today ahead of Saturday's opening World Cup qualifier against Serbia.
Berra's partner Amy has given birth to a baby girl.
Levein said: "On behalf of the squad we are delighted with the news and send our congratulations to Christophe and his family.
"We look forward to him joining up. He has been training at his club this week so there are no issues with him fitness-wise and I am sure he will come up on a high.
"Christophe is a very important player for us and it will be good to have him available for Saturday."

When you think of monitors, wireless convenience isn't exactly the first thing that springs to mind - unless you're one of the lucky few to own some form of wireless video transmission kit, many of which will easily set you back £200 or more. However, that could all be about to change with Samsung's brand-new SyncMaster CA750.
In fact, wireless video over USB is but one of this monitor's many talents, and one of a number of world-firsts. Probably the most interesting of these, aside from its cable-free credentials, is that it's the first display to offer an integrated USB 3.0 hub alongside the usual video and audio connections, with Ethernet also making an appearance.
Next on the stand-out feature list is video connectivity over wired USB 3.0 using an undisclosed technology very similar to DisplayLink (as found in the VillageTronic ViBook). DisplayLink hasn't brought out a USB 3.0-compatible solution yet, and Samsung wanted to utilise the full bandwidth advantages the faster bus brings - for more details on which, have a read of USB 3.0: What Is It and Do You Want It?. This versatility has resulted in Samsung provisionally dubbing its newest monitor the Central Station.
The CA750 range will offer the choice between 23in and 27in models, the C23A750X and C27A750X, both sporting a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution. We're looking at the latter, larger model, which is likely to make it to market slightly sooner. Unfortunately both use TN panels, but then the target market for these displays is not designers and photographers but rather business and home users. If you value convenience and style over colour accuracy, it's certainly an attractive candidate.
When some 27in displays (such as the Apple Cinema Display) sport a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution, you might also be disappointed by the 60 per cent fewer pixels on offer here, but it wouldn't be feasible to transmit this signal over the wireless or USB connections due to bandwidth limitations and finding a TN panel offering more than 1,920 x 1,080 is a rarity to begin with.
The monitor arrives fully assembled and with all the adapters and cables you might need. These include a two-prong cable and adapter for power, VGA and (optional) HDMI cables for video, a USB 3.0 cable for data and video, and the slim wireless USB dongle - which you can connect to a laptop or PC. About the size of a pound coin, the angled, streamlined dongle is finished in an attractive mix of glossy and faux brushed metal black that matches the monitor nicely.

Republicans, always ready to oppose any idea that helps ordinary people, are voicing opposition to President Obama's proposal to raise the minimum wage. Predictably, John Boehner, Marco Rubio, Eric Cantor, business organizations, and others, standing with the "takers," are peddling the long discredited story that raising the minimum wage costs jobs.
Study after study has shown no impact on jobs. The Center for American Progress reviewed the various studies of an increase in the minimum wage and its impact. Their conclusion – raising the minimum wage does not raise unemployment. Raising the minimum wage did have positive results: a reduction in employee turnover, increased worker productivity, and an increase in demand for goods and services. The Council of Economic Advisors and others have also found no effect on unemployment.
The battle to stop an increase in the minimum wage gives new meaning to the "makers" and "takers" argument. For too long poor folks, low income workers, disabled people, the elderly, and others have been bashed for being "takers," for feeling entitled to programs that sustain them in the absence of an adequate income.
But these "entitlements" pale next to the sense of entitlement exhibited by the "job creators," the so-called "makers." They're employers, the people who hire others to do the work that builds wealth for themselves. They are the real "takers" who feel entitled to the labor of others at whatever wages and benefits, or lack of benefits, they choose to pay.
For job applicants who cannot negotiate their wages (and that's most workers), it's here's-what-the-job-offers and take-it-or-leave-it. In hard economic times, when workers exceed available jobs, "leaving it" is not really an option.
In exchange for the wage paid, the employer then owns the employee's labor on the job. The owner dictates the work, working conditions, when work begins and ends, what one can and cannot do on the job. The employer also determines the safety or risks inherent in the work and workplace, in effect, controlling the health and safety, and in some cases, the life of workers. In 2010, 4, 690 workers were killed on the job and about 50,000 died of occupational diseases, while 3.8 million were reported injured on the job, estimated to be at least half the actual number (BLS).
Employers, of course, argue that because the person is getting paid, they are entitled to that employee's labor and its control. But when that labor is gotten without adequate and just compensation, the employer appropriates something to himself he is not entitled to.
It's about justice and reciprocity: I give you X; you give me something equivalent to X. Since a worker is "selling" himself/herself and the wage literally enables a worker (and family) to live a human life, it must be a just and adequate wage. This means, at the least, a living wage which enables the worker to provide necessities, minimal comfort for self and family, and savings for retirement and unforeseen emergencies.
Yet typically employers do not feel obligated to adequately compensate workers. Employers, first and foremost, seek to maximize profits. Invariably this means the less one pays employees, the greater the profit. As corporate profits have soared, workers' wages have stagnated or dropped – the annual median wage of U.S. workers is an appalling $26,364.
As workers have lost ground, employers (CEOs and executives) have raised their compensation (salary, benefits, pension plans, stock options, bonuses, etc.). So we have CEOs taking millions annually (nobody "earns" five or ten million dollars a year, but plenty of people "take" it). Meanwhile, they pay workers minimum wage (or slightly better) with few or no benefits – workers who make the product or provide the service that actually generates wealth. So the "job creators" have become the wealth takers, while the wealth makers, workers, are consigned to poverty or economic deprivation.
Employers, of course, will tell us that they cannot afford to pay more than minimum wage, or whatever they pay. In some cases, especially with really small businesses, this may be true. But true or not, employers are not entitled to the labor of workers at inadequate wages. If an employer hires a worker at minimum wage, say $7.25 hour for 40 hours, he/she is appropriating an employee's labor for $290 a week. That is not a living wage for anyone. Now suppose a living wage for this person is $14 hour. That would mean that the $290 the employer pays only entitles him/her to roughly 20 hours a week of that employee's labor. The other 20 hours a week, the employer feels entitled to appropriate for free. It's akin to having $500 to buy a sofa, yet extorting the shopkeeper to give you the $1,000 sofa.
Meanwhile, forget about a living wage. Heartless Republicans and their wealthy taker friends battle against the minimum wage.

Do your pups 'copy' you?
Zeeva has observed me use a large fluffy blanket on the carpet and I think? now she uses it too. She may just find it comfy--I don't know--but I feel like she snuggles in it because she observes me doing it...She usually only plays with or shows interest in the stuff that I show interest in unless it's food.
Do your GSDs or any of your other dogs consciously 'copy' you? How so? Or do you think dogs don't have the capacity for this type of mimicry?
My dog definitely mimics me...lol
When I get home from work, I'll occasionally hear the doorknob rattling before I put my key in to unlock it.
It's because Discoe understands that the doorknob opens the door, and is trying to open it the way she's seen me open the door many times.
Also, if I take her puzzle toy and move some of the pieces around with my hand, she'll take her paw and do the same (or try, at least. She just haphazardly ends up slapping things around).
My dog will mimic me when I sigh. So funny, it normally happens within seconds of me doing it. I wouldn't have noticed it except that I did it twice and so did she. Crazy girl!

My hobbies include video gaming (PC & PS3). I like playing rhythm games, MMOs, fighting and Japanese RPGs. I also like watching anime and attending the anime cons (casually cosplay as well) around Texas. I definitely embrace my Asian culture more than my other half!
Anyways, that's all I got. I'd say it's about time to put myself out there and talk to the fine ladies around here. Who knows? I might find the right one (or not!). I could definitely use the experience tho, haha... Feel free to chat me up if you're interested!
I'll probably post more pics in the near future since the current ones are kind of outdated. *srs face*
I don't watch very many movies on my own, but I occasionally watch them with friends.

Citation: Chinkuyu, A.J., Meixner, T., Gish, T.J., Daughtry, C.S. 2004. Evaluation of GLEAMS and RZWQM under different soil moisture conditions [abstract]. 2004 BARC poster Day. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The Groundwater Loading Effects of Agricultural Management Systems (GLEAMS) model and the Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM) were used to predict daily nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), orthophosphorus (PO4-P), atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino -1,3,5-triazine), and metolachlor {2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)-acetamide} concentrations and losses in surface runoff from two agricultural fields: one with and one without seepage zones. The results of the study show that GLEAMS and RZWQM using default input parameters were not capable of predicting NO3-N and PO4-P concentration and loss in surface runoff from the fields with and without seepage zones. GLEAMS and RZWQM using default input parameters predicted atrazine concentration well, but poorly predicted metolachlor loss in surface runoff from both fields. Based on the different model evaluation techniques used in this study, both calibrated GLEAMS and RZWQM performed relatively well in predicting NO3-N, PO4-P, atrazine, and metolachlor concentration and loss in surface runoff from fields with and without seepage zones. However, RZWQM performed relatively better than GLEAMS in predicting surface runoff, while GLEAMS performed better than RZWQM in predicting nutrient and pesticide losses in surface runoff. Additionally, since neither model perfectly simulated nutrient and pesticide losses from the field with seepage zones, their ability in water quality modeling for such fields will be compromised and further model development is justified.

The Samsung Galaxy W has all of the makings of a mid-range smartphone when you consider the competition. It is an Android 2.3 Gingerbread device that packs a 3.7-inch display. Under the hood of the Galaxy W is a single-core 1.4GHz processor. That speed doesn't shout mid-range but in a world ruled by other Android-powered handsets that are powered by dual-core processors it gets that title by default. The Galaxy W also has 512MB of RAM.
Samsung has included a 5 megapixel camera around the back of the device. As is common with most smartphones now this camera is capable of recording video in 720p HD. On the front of the device is a VGA camera to aid in video chatting. Once again, these specs don't necessarily shout mid-range, but it still gets that title by default thanks to not only other manufacturers, but by some of the other devices of the Galaxy line.
The Galaxy W is packing the 850MHz and 1900MHz bands on board. That makes it a candidate for the AT&T network. Even though it is not a definite that this device will land on AT&T at some point, now that it has passed through the FCC keep your eyes peeled because it may be arriving soon.

Pregnant women at front of H1N1 vaccine line
By Matthew Bigg
ATLANTA (Reuters) - Pregnant women should be the first to get vaccinated against the new pandemic H1N1 influenza virus, federal health experts told a U.S. advisory panel on Wednesday.
Pregnant women are at special risk from the new strain, and vaccinating them protects their newborns, too, Dr. Anthony Fiore of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told a meeting of vaccine advisers to his agency.
He said a CDC working group has designated 42 million Americans who should be vaccinated first -- pregnant women, people with an infant too young to be vaccinated in the household, healthcare workers, children aged up to 4 years and children with chronic conditions making them at high risk of flu complications.
The committee was to issue its recommendations later on Wednesday.
Five companies are making H1N1 vaccine for the U.S. market -- AstraZeneca's MedImmune unit, Australia's CSL Ltd, GlaxoSmithKline Plc, Novartis AG and Sanofi-Aventis SA. It is not clear how many doses of vaccine will be available.
"Seasonal influenza vaccination should begin as soon as it is available for all groups currently recommended for seasonal vaccine," Fiore told the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
He said seasonal and pandemic vaccines can be administered on the same visit but noted that trials in human volunteers are looking at the question and the advice may be changed later.
Fiore also released new CDC data showing that obese people do not have an especially high risk of death or complications from swine flu, as some earlier studies had suggested. Continued...

BEAVER (AP) — A Beaver County man has been placed on two years' probation in the shooting of a costumed child that police said he mistook for an animal.
The Beaver County Times said Thomas Grant, 25, of Rochester, pleaded no contest Monday to misdemeanor simple assault and reckless endangerment counts. An aggravated assault charge in the October shooting of the 8-year-old girl at a Halloween party in New Sewickley was dismissed in February.
The girl survived.
Grant was also ordered to pay restitution to the family of the victim. His attorney characterized the shooting as a "tragic accident."
Police said the child was in a black costume with a white feather or tassel on her hat, and Grant thought she was a skunk.
His hunting privileges have also been revoked during his probation.

Getting to enjoy the benefits of the South African healthcare system
Forget about pirates or running into containers, the biggest danger while cruising is getting sick or injured. I am typing this from my hospital bed in Mossel Bay. It can all chage very quickly indeed.
We've been tied up to a fishing dock since the small yacht club here didn't have a spare dock for us. The tidal current and surge with any version of easterly winds here is quite violent pushing the boat around too much rubbing the big tires on the dock that finally damaged the rub rail and tore out lots of screws on the metal piece that protects the teak
Saturday night, the situation was extremely bad with strong south westerly and very low tide so that our fenders and fender board were getting caught below the tire. in trying to get things under control my left hand got caught between the rub rail and the rubber tire.
The ambulance first took us to the public hospital when hearing that we don't have travel insurance. However the hospital doesn't have right facilities (24 hour xray and specialists on call) to treat me accordingly, so we decided to try the private hospital which is very fancy and well-equipped and pricey, but not by US standards, more by cruiser standards.
After suffering a painful (even with Morphine - that stuff is not as good as the movies suggest), sleepless night, I finally got operated on by an orthopedic surgeon who apparently is well -known for his work on hands Sunday morning. I have afracture on the bone near where the little finge joins the hand. This is not a big deal, according to the surgeon. The major issue is that much soft tissue and skin on both side of the palm was torn badly, and the skin was peeled back (it is technically called "de-gloving" in the orthopedics trade. Not a nice limage). The surgeon cleaned the wound thoroughly (it was very dirty, think of the black tyre) and sutured everything back (he said he lost count of the stitches after 50). Will be in the hospital for 4 or 5 days. The concern now is whether the skin will survive. The parts that peeled were put back in place and the quesion is whether that are viable. If not then skin grafts would be needed. Miraculously this messy injury didn't hurt the nerves and ligaments, a full function recovery is expected.
As for the sailing part, we don't know when we can start again and we can't plan ahead for now since we don't know how his recovery is going to be. I've been trying my best to get his mind off worry stuff like that at the moment. We have crew arranged from Cape Town to the Caribbean so as long as my hand has stabilized it should be fine since we will have five hands on board. I can stand watches and make decisions. I can also reef the main, the jib would be hard. If the skin grafts are needed we will likely haul here, get the graphs done in Canada and come back next year.
Lots of lessons about being extra careful even when you are safety-conscious and the idea that you can cruise on $xxx a month, but you better have an emergency fund when you need it. So far we have paid $4000+, but have not paid the doctors yet.
Re: Getting to enjoy the benefits of the South African healthcare system
Take care. Be careful about going offshore with a medical issue. Have you seen my our videos of our evacuation north of Hawaii last summer? I also have the text of an article that I wrote for Pacific Yachting.
Getting to enjoy the benefits of the South African healthcare system
Thank you very much for posting this. These are the things that can easily be overlooked when trying to calculate the cost of cruising. I will be leaving in approx 4 yrs with insurance (hopefully). But, I'm sure, it will only be good in the US. I'll have to look into what I can do to be covered outside the US. My guess is nothing. What do others do? By the way, very sorry for your injury. Really hope you get back on your feet soon. But, in the meantime, let your crew do the work for a while......have a margarita!!
Re: Getting to enjoy the benefits of the South African healthcare system
Very sorry to hear that and I wish you a speedy recovery.
Infection would be my biggest concern, particularly for heading offshore any time soon.
Re: Getting to enjoy the benefits of the South African healthcare system
Having grown up and spent most of my life in South Africa and having seen the changes that have happened there, heard reports from friends and family (I've been gone for ten years), the lack of facilities in the public hospitals is the least of the problems. Those hospitals are really not the best in medical care and the surgery is just a part of that. The standards of hygiene, nursing standards and so on are frightfully low.
I chopped a finger off two years ago and it was put back together (in New Zealand) and it is now functioning 95% so you will hopefully also make a decent recovery. Surgery today is really rather good.
Good luck with the repairs
Re: Getting to enjoy the benefits of the South African healthcare system
Wow... Sorry about your injuries.
Tell em you want Dilaudid... it works much better than Morphine.
Not to be a kill joy, but by your descriptions of your injuries my opinion is that you should mentally prepare yourself for having to haul out there and fly back to Canada.
Re: Getting to enjoy the benefits of the South African healthcare system
Ouch..... Sorry to hear about this. Hope it is just money and a little pain, but a speedy and full recovery on the way.
Morphine is good. It is most likely your doctor did not give you high enough dose. Studies after studies, we found that most doctors prescribe sub-therapeutic dose to their patients. Go back and ask for a higher dose and use around the clock, don't take it as needed. BTW, make sure he gives you stool softener too. Morphine will plug you up real well. LOL.
My nephew is the best hand surgeon in NYC. He practices in Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan. I have seen many of his work which is magic and an art form. If you are back to the States and need follow up, let me know. He does lot of pro-Bono work when a patient has no insurance. He is a good kid.
Re: Getting to enjoy the benefits of the South African healthcare system
Sorry to hear of your mishap. Thank goodness you were in a country area which could give you good care, You are strong and wil recover to continue your journies and travels.
Heal well and stay safe. God bless.
Re: Getting to enjoy the benefits of the South African healthcare system
Ouch.... Ouch.... and ouch again!
Hope all heals well, and soon... but this kind of injury can have a very variable recovery time, esp for full function.. often one of those things that, even if functional doesn't 'feel' right for a long long time.
Thanks for letting us know.. at least you were able to get prompt treatment.
Re: Getting to enjoy the benefits of the South African healthcare system
Yikes, that hurts just to read it... really sorry to hear of this, my best wishes for the best possible outcome...
Consider yourself to be at the forefront of a new paradigm for cruisers: Namely, the use of cruising boats for Medical Tourism, which I am afraid will become increasingly more common for us Americans... (grin)
Your story is also a sobering reminder of the dangers that can occur when dockside, especially on boats the size of yours... Some of the forces that can be involved, one can get hurt very easily...
Best of luck, take it easy down there...
