Way to go Bob-a-looooo !
Been a little over 2 weeks since Karen did an update on the O.O.F. (rhymes with smart) and the latest is really good news!
Karen writes:
My responsibility for today was to bring my car so we could practice wheelchair to car transfers. Well, we only had to practice one time and Bob nailed it... well, almost. He did need just a bit of help getting one foot up and into the vehicle. Then, he walked down and back - from his room to the sitting room, only sitting down to rest once. Each way is about 1/2 the length of a football field. Yea!
Projections are a possible release to home next Friday, March 8 or the following Friday, March 15.
The one disturbing thing is that he was "huffing & puffing" today and he has gained weight which is a bad sign that he may be building up fluid again. BUT - we figure part of the problem is the "fast food" I have been bringing him- all of it is SO high in sodium. It's affecting both of us... even my ankles are a bit swollen. Dr. Kuhlmann ordered a chest x-ray and blood work to check his kidney functions after our meeting with him last Thursday. We haven't heard the results yet. If the fluid is building up again, the first course of action is to adjust the diuretics, then if that doesn't work, Dr. K will contact the U of M to see if we need to go there for a couple of days of dialysis. This may be our life going forward - a trip to the U for dialysis every two months or so.
I am praying hard that Bob gets his "hip flexion" stronger by next week so he can come home. Misty, Shadow and I miss him... and I'm getting really sick of driving 2 hours back/forth 4 times a week!
The Terraplane has Landed !
Bob is home once more and here's the latest from Karen.
We are home! PTL! The TCU cut Bob loose about 2:00 today and we went from the care center to the local Heartland Café for lunch and then HOME! The dogs (especially Misty) were so glad to see him and I am so glad to have him home. Then an hour and a half later we left to meet fellow streetroders at Underdogs in Jenkins (good food!) had a great time with friends. Bob made it, but hes still got a long recovery and restoration balance is an issue as is endurance.
He came home without the need for oxygen during the day. He still must use it with his BiPAP at night - his sleep apnea is that bad. And, whenever the fluid begins to build up, as it has started to do, if it presses on the lungs, he gets short of breath and has to go back on oxygen while the doctors adjust his diuretics to try and get the fluid off... or stop the build up.
We know that Bob will probably have to do dialysis about every 2-3 months for a couple of sessions to get rid of the excess fluid that his transplanted kidney can't handle, but that is a lot smarter than letting 90+ pounds of fluid fill up his extremities and his heart/lungs. We do not want to let this last 9 months happen again - ever. Each dialysis is hard on his kidney - as well as the rest of his body - but especially his kidney... and I pray the dialysis doesn't cause it to fail completely. We just have to be careful and not exacerbate the situation by too much salt.
Bob will need to continue physical therapy. He can get in and out of the car easier than he did two months ago when this last episode started, but his balance is very shakey. The physical therapists at the care center felt he could be independent, but it will be hard for me to go to work and wonder if he has fallen again. I have left a message for his doctor to see if he is planning to order any physical therapy - either in home or at a facility.
Bob's spirits are good - he has big plans that will require that he is stronger: Back to the 50's car show at the State Fairgrounds for 3 days in June and a week-long fishing trip to Canada with friends (and without me) in September. Here's to a speedy and full recovery!
Thanks for continuing to encourage Bob!
Blessings, Karen
Back in the Hospital again !
Here's the latest update from Bob's Wife, Karen. Thoughts and prayers for both of them.
Just a quick update as I have to get some sleep and have a wake up call set for less than 7 hours from now. Bob is back in the hospital to have fluid removed - a process called aquapheresis. (Aquapheresis is a New Method of Reducing Excess Water Weight - Yahoo! Voices - voices.yahoo.com)
Bob had an echocardiogram on Thursday and met with the cardiologist, Dr. Stokman. The right side of his heart is worse than before (last echo, it was better) - and he could hear fluid around Bob's lungs and heart... CHF (congestive heart failure) again. He said the pulmonary pressure in his lungs is high - at a severe level. We told him we had an appointment with Dr. Ibrahim, nephrologist, on Monday, so he sent the report to the UMMC Nephrology group.
We suspected that dialysis would be needed again. Dr. Ibrahim had told us last summer that we may have to come to UMMC for 2-3 days of dialysis every 2-3 months in order to give some relief to Bob's transplanted kidney... so we packed last night with the assumption that Dr. Ibrahim would put Bob in the hospital to do dialysis. The appointment lasted about 10 minutes - he looked at Bob, listened to his lungs and agreed with us that 2-3 days of dialysis is the proper course of action. But, they are not going to do the typical dialysis that removes fluid and toxins... unless the blood work says toxins are present. They believe the kidney is doing well to remove the toxins - just not the fluids. They are going to do aquapheresis - removes only the excess fluid. They've done blood work, EKG, x-ray - and are scheduling another echocardiogram. Hopefully after this is done over 2-3 days, Bob will feel less winded and be able to go home off oxygen. He had not needed it the last three weeks in the care center, but he had already started putting on fluid. When he left the U, January 24, he weighed 218. Today he weighed 266 - that's a lot of fluid build up in two months. He's on a fluid/salt restriction while he is in the hospital (and should be at home!) and they are measuring his fluid intake and output this time... so see if the diuretics are working at all to help the kidney.
Bob doesn't feel bad - just having trouble breathing due to the fluid pressing on his heart and lungs. Hopefully he will be stronger this time when he leaves as this is the only issue. This may become our new normal - a maintenance process to keep the fluid from building up to a critical level again.
I am grateful to the Commons Hotel in Minneapolis for offering discounts to patients and family who need a place to stay. It was easy to register as they had my information from January. My room is great - as usual... and I can't wait to hit the bed, which is where I am headed. Thanks too to Dave & Laura Bjorklund who are taking care of Misty & Shadow tonight and tomorrow morning. I will go home (for my job) and come back to pick up Bob... in the snow that is forecast! Prayers for successful aquapheresis and safe travels would be appreciated. Love to one and all...
Thoughts and prayers your way every chance I get, Bob and Karen. God be with you.
Sorry to hear about Terraplane I wish him the best
Yes back to work with more prayers.
You and Bob will be in my thoughts and prayers. Safe travels.
Ditto from Chattanooga. Prayers will be offered.
Bob will be in my thoughts and heart until he's well again.
Mike Osher (BB)
As I noted in a separate post yesterday, Bob seems to be in the care of the hospital, while Karen has to commute in a snowstorm.
We wish them BOTH well in this trying time
Sent PM to Bob's own e-mail addy as well
Prayers are going out for you Mr.Bob..Hang in there...
Bob, I say a prayer for you EVERYDAY, be strong. Mrs. Bob also.
"When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not." - Mark Twain
I hope you are feeling better Bob.
I just got off the phone with Bob and he is back to his "dry" weight, Praise the Lord. He thinks the reason his fluid retention got so bad so quick was the previous Doctor at the Hospital he was in hadn't put two of his meds in the computer - - - could have been fatal - - WOW
Anyhow, Karen had just gotten there to check him out and take him home and he's in good spirits and 100% better than when he got there. Of course he's always in good spirits and I always feel good after talking to him.
He'll probably drop by and post before too long.
Good to hear he is getting back to himself!

I have been eying the Thunder 9 myself. I saw one at a gun show last weekend and it looked very nice. Thanks for the review on the 380. I do not own one but I have heard good things about Bersa.
This is a discussion on Bersa 380 Thunder Plus within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Just picked up another Bersa - a 380 Thunder Plus - and took it right to the range. Fired 50 rounds right from the box ...
Just picked up another Bersa - a 380 Thunder Plus - and took it right to the range. Fired 50 rounds right from the box (American Eagle 90g ball). I had no issues in loading, feeding and firing - putting all but 1 round in the center circle at 15 meters. The double stack grip is very comfortable and 15 round capacity is awesome.

I have a Bersa Thunder .380 Plus, 15 round magazine, and for $10,000, I'll sell you the only spare magazine for yours on the continent.....nevermind, I decided to keep it.
Good luck finding spare mags, I've had an order in at my gun shop for about 7 months now.
Sweet. I like that gun a lot. That magazine issue sounds scary though.

I guess i could stop sounding so frustrated...I LOVE the gun, but am having a hell of a time getting a spare mag for it....so beware of THAT little problem, otherwise, the gun itself is terrific.
There...Maybe that's not so cynical...
I and the wife carry the 380
I the thunder ,her the CC
We would not trade them for any other
very good gun ....
When outnumbered 2 to 1.
Shoot twice!
Everywhere I check for a 15 round magazine they are listed as "backorder" or "out of stock"....grrrrrrrr. No problem with the Thunder 7 round mags though. Bersa makes a very good weapon and I would have gladly pay a few extra dollars for one if they would have include another magazine.
Geds: 7 months... WTH?! Guess I'll have to take extra special card of the one I have
And not cynical here either... It is a fantastic pistol

I have the Bersa Thunder .380 CC and really love it! I told my wife that this is one weapon that I do not see myself EVER selling or trading.
If you haven't already go to bersa talk and check out the forum.

My Bersa Thunder 380 is one of my favorite handguns. Great gun and wife loves to shoot it as well.
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!

They only have one problem, the mags are hard to find.
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.

Earlene Roberts
Funeral services for Earlene Roberts, 77, of Lovington, NM, will be held on Saturday, August 10, 2013, at 2 p.m. at Hillcrest Baptist Church in Lovington with Speedy Faith officiating. Burial will follow at Resthaven Cemetery. Arrangements are under the direction of Kirby-Smith-Rogers Funeral Home.
Earlene was born an Okie on August 19, 1935, to Earl [auth] and Myrtie Lee (Hoffman) Leavelle and passed from this life at her home on Tuesday, August 6, 2013. She married Doyle Roberts on November 12, 1953, and they shared 46 years of marriage before he preceded her in death. She later met and married Holmes Lovejoy and they shared nearly ten years of marriage together. Raised in humble surroundings, Earlene was a farmer, pioneer, businesswoman, legislative servant, real estate broker and overall hardworker. She could drive a tractor, argue with the governor, flip a pancake, counsel with someone in need and sell a property all before 7:00 a.m. on a Monday morning. Her zest for life was exhibited through her Energizer Bunny-like character. Although Earlene was business-minded, she was also family-hearted. The love she had for her family was immeasurable.
She was preceded in death by her parents, both husbands and two brothers: Delbert and J. D. Leavelle.
She is survived by her three children: Pam and husband, Speedy Faith; Robbie and wife, Allyson Roberts, Kevey Roberts and husband, Henry Quintana; five grandchildren: Krystie and husband, Robert Arreola, Josh and wife, Rachel Faith, Ryan Roberts, Danielle Roberts, Faith Roberts; three great-grandchildren: Brooklyn and Bronx Arreola and Jaxton Faith; and a host of friends.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, August 8 from noon until 5:00 p.m. and Friday, August 9 from 8:30 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. with the family in residence at funeral home from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 pm. Memorials may be made in Earlene's memory to Hillcrest Baptist Church, Building Fund, 220 West Ave I, Lovington, NM 88260.
Condolences may be sent to kirbysmithrogers.com.

Cumulative probability question
I have been experimenting with Mathematica in order to receive answers
to my problem, so far without success. I have tried various forms of CDF
and HypergeometricDistribution, but I seem to not know the proper
addressing of the parameters for the problem.
The problem itself is the following (with numbers given for a more
illustrative example): Given an urn containing N(=70) items in total,
of which n(=4) are marked, we want to draw i(=2) or more marked
a) What is the formula describing the number of draws required to
succeed in drawing at least i items with a probability of at least 50%?
b) How do you make a graph of the probability (of drawing at least i
items) graphed against the number of draws?
c) What are the equations that need to be solved to get a numerical
answer on a) and b)?
Thank you for your assistance in advance

text: Hi guys. I'm new here and have some questions that you all can hopefully answer. One thing I can't stand are cars with dust and pollen and dirt and all other kinds of stuff all over them, so I try to keep my cars very clean. Im sure lots of people on here feel the same way about keeping their cars clean, and was wondering if you had any good washing/waxing suggestions. my friend has one of those attachments that you put on a hose and use to wash your car so (as the ads say, at least) you get spotless air drying. anyone used these types of things? i also have a friend who washes the hell out of his car, and whose paint suffers as a result. what do you guys do, and have you had any experiences that you think might be unique to the wrx's/subaru's paint? i certainly don't want to over wash my car, but a good shine and clean exterior is very important to me.

Is Innovation on the Upswing?
September 4, 2013
THE TALK... | Markets & Trends
Congratulations are in order this week as we announce the winners of Window & Door's 2013 Crystal Achievement Awards. The presentation of these awards, honoring innovation in products, manufacturing and marketing, is one of my favorite tasks.
And we have some impressive winners this year. Velux is being honored for a skylight that uses solar power to provide remote operation without any need for wiring. Masonite is being recognized for a new wood treatment process that significantly enhances the durability of its Torrefied Collection of doors. Solar Innovations' commitment to sustainability at its LEED certified headquarters–chosen by our judges as Most Innovative Plant–raises the bar high for other manufacturers. And, Kolbe & Kolbe's "We are the visionaries" consumer marketing campaign has earned three awards this year.
I am also pleased to report that the number of nominations was up in 2013, after a slight decline in 2012. It might be assuming too much, but I took the rebound in nominations this year as a positive sign for the industry. More companies see opportunities in the market and are ready to move forward with new products and other initiatives.
So with the positive outlook in both the new construction and remodeling and retrofit markets, I am looking forward to even more innovation in coming years. What do you think? That's our poll question of the week. And, of course, I'd like to hear from you. Do you expect new product launches in the industry to accelerate? Do you foresee manufacturers investing in more automation in their plants? Post a comment and share your thoughts.
Survey Results as of 09/10/2013:
Over the next few years, innovation in the window and door industry will:
Continue at a steady pace
Accelerate slightly
Accelerate significantly
Decelerate significantly
Decelerate slightly
Even with increased opportunities in the market, the majority of this week's poll takers see innovation continuing on a fairly steady pace. Still, another 40 percent of respondents are expecting innovation to accelerate—perhaps a sign that we will see more window and door manufacturers and industry suppliers introducing new products and technologies in the next couple of years.
GlassBuild America, which runs September 10-12, serves as a major showcase for new window and door components and equipment. Window & Door is at the show and a brief report on the opening of that event is now online, with more detailed coverage planned for next week.

This is the second time we have used this hotel .
The hotel is very central for walking along the millenium coastal road. The city centre and leisure facilities. And pembrey park and the pembray race circuit. The food was absolutely delicious served by the nicest wiatresses . All the staff we came across were lovely pleasant and very helpful. The room was spotless although clean as a pin a little dated. But it did not spoil our stay one bit..See you next year for the Classic Racing at Pembrey.

Fantastic stay - very friendly service.
I arrived late on the Saturday evening, and was checked in quickly.
I was still able to order at the restaurant. The food came quickly, with some very friendly service, it tasted fantastic!. I had a few pints of Guiness from the bar, which also tasted very nice. Breakfast the next morning was also very good.
Once I arrived home I realised that I had left my phone charger in the room, I called straight away and it was posted to me promptly. Would certainly recommend this and will stay again when I am back in the area.

HEY! heavy SLATE floor tile as an exterior wainscot
1 Attachment(s)
Recently I have seen two homes with slate tiles for exterior wainscot.
Frankly, it looked really good.
why is this not used more often? real and fake stone products are common on exteriors. slate is relatively common on roofs- why not exterior walls?
It's a style that is currently popular---remember the sand stone from the 60s?
Just wait,tie dyed shirts and bell bottoms will be back!
besides style though. this stuff runs 2-4 bucks a foot where manufactured stone and brick veneers run 4-10.
is adhesion an issue?
this house is 4 years old and looks ok so far
Many slate products will not work well in a wet environment. They are soft and delaminate.
You need to pick a slate, up to the job.
ron's exactly right - slate is a product of sedimentation & resultant compression,,, as a result, its susceptible to delamination from freezing intrusive water ( don't even ask if there's a product to prevent this - there isn't ! :no: )
slate is also comparatively soft & has little compression OR tension strength.
they better stop using it for roofs then:wink:
slate roofs ( known as 100yr roofs ) use a quality product far better than what's commonly purchased today,,, IF buyers knew quality slate, they wouldn't buy the **** now being sold at apron/vest stores,,, you'd rarely find that quality spec'd in any architectural building - residential OR commercial,,, its largely disappeared from roofs due to replacement by less expensive materials,,, roofing slates are also installed with 1/3rd reveal - NOT a full exposure as shown by the op
Absolutely untrue. Slate is the resultant product of metamorphism ( read heating and pressure combined) of a fine grained sediment. The result is a entirely new rock from the protolith, with an entirely different crystal structure of its constituents.
It is commonly composed of mica and micaeous minerals, elongate amphiboles such as hornblende, quartz and feldspar. It is the middle rock of the metamorphic continuum of progressive metamorphism of a shale parent, shale - phyllite - slate - schist. The mineralogy would not be susceptible to absorption of water, and the structure would also tend to shed water.
It would be possible for water to enter cracks and interstices in the rock, and if this was followed by freezing, the spalling and other modes of failure could result.
The statement by the OP at ContractorTalk of the presence of natural oils in slate is also completely false. Metamorphism would evaporate any and all volatiles contained in the matrix.

ok, we have 20 year old slate on the floors of a hunting cabin lots of hot anc cold . no problems there at all. so cheap slate can go on floors, but for roofs and exterior stuff there must be a higher grade of slate. "frost resistant" i think is the term for outdoor applications. I am curious about the sealing of a slate product as I have seen slate on shower ceiling applications.
how about normal ceramic or porcelain floor tiles? High compressive and tensile strength, no lamination issues. Totally water fast. How would this do for an exterior wainscot when installed properly?
ok - ok - OK, wing ! ! ! so i sits corrected :laughing: a walk thru any cemetery will reveal delaminating slate monuments which, i theorize, would not occur IF slate were more dense or homogenous,,, it is precisely why granite is chosen for monuments over slate, marble, concrete, common stone, etc,,, i don't recall if slate has a ' grain ' but granite does
no scientific data but do rely on experience in our family's cemetery monument biz ( over 100yrs ) + repairs to many slate/marble monuments,,, IF we were to choose slate, my choice would be pa's pen arglyll or vermont verde,,, enjoy your day ! :thumbup: thanks for the post, too !
wow. I asked for a cheese snack and you baked me a wedding cake!
ok, so in laymans terms. what is you opinion about installing slate on exterior walls, assuming the proper underlayment and proper flashing etc.
thanks for everyones opinions here.
Exterior slate wall tiles are a common finish detail on commercial jobs. As was stated by others, there are grades which are perfectly suitable for exterior use. The big stores sell by price point. Seek out a reputable contractor and architect if needed to ensure that the section of wall is built correctly, all the way back to the ply wood and rain screen if needed
how do you make sure slate stick to the wall . I am installing slate on my front prouch and i need to put some on bottom of the wall below the floor . what should i do make shure it dosn't fall off thanks

- - Gybe-EZE (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/51370-gybe-eze.html)
Can someone tell me what a Gybe-EZE is? I was reading a blog on Sailblogs and a guy said that after ten years he finally installed a Gybe-EZE.
It's Gybe'easy and it's a boom brake with no moving parts.
Wichard - Boom Brake- Gybe Easy: Mauri Pro Sailing=
I have been interested in those for some time, but according to the provided link, the Mauri price is $223. That sounds awful high for what your getting.
If you have lifting tackle on the boat for a life sling, you have a boom brake.
Rig the tackle to the end of the boom and the other block to the toe rail equal with the shrouds. The bitter end is brought back to a stern cleat.
And if the tackle is needed to lift a person out of the water it is already pre rigged.
Okay, I think I've got it. I usually bring the main in kind of close hauled as I jibe with the main sheet so it won't have so far to swing as we gybe. I guess with the Gybe eze it would be a little easier. Do you have to move it to the other sid after you tack?
No, you don't have to move it, the line goes from toe rail to toe rail, and the device slides along it.
One of the problems with gybe control devices like this is that to be really effective you'd want the braking action to be control speed, not force. You'd like the device to have no effect if the boom is moving slowly, then apply force as it speeds up to keep it from going really fast. Tough to do that with just line friction. I think these devices require a fair amount of adjusting to wind speed to do a good job.
I do rig a preventer like you describe, but I thought these "brakes" provided a bit more versatility. I will simply continue to rig a preventer, but they have some downsides, like if you have to jibe in an emergency. As you know you have to release the preventer before you can flip her over, I think its a little less complicated with a brake.
Much Thanks for the explanations. I think I'll stay old school and try to remember to duck at the right times. Actually I'm not that tall, I haven't been nailed by the boom on Warhorse yet, but the boom on our H16 has made a few dents though.
I hear you my friend.

Caritas Manila, CRS send aid to communities flooded by tropical storm
Catholic aid agencies were involved in efforts to help people who were flooded out of their homes by a tropical storm in the northern Philippines.
A downpour inundated Manila and surrounding communities for 24 hours starting Thursday evening. Forecasters expected that the heavy rain would continue through Saturday.
Emergency response officials said 25 percent of the capital region was under water and nearly 500,000 people were affected by the twin impact of Tropical Storm Fung-Wong and late-summer monsoons.

Jackie Chan, Jet Li conquer N. American box office
By Dean Goodman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "The Forbidden Kingdom," a first collaboration between action heroes Jackie Chan and Jet Li, kicked its rivals at the weekend box office in North America, also becoming the first martial arts movie to open at No. 1 in almost four years.
According to studio estimates issued Sunday, "The Forbidden Kingdom" sold $20.9 million worth of tickets during its first three days, handily exceeding industry forecasts.
Chan and Li play mentors to a modern-day kung fu devotee (played by Michael Angarano) who has been hurled back in time to rural China. It was directed by Rob Minkoff, best known for making the "Stuart Little" family movies. Most critics seemed to like it.
Other debuts included the raunchy romantic comedy "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" at No. 2 with $17.3 million, the Al Pacino thriller "88 Minutes" at No. 4 with $6.8 million, and the Ben Stein documentary "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" at No. 9 with about $3.2 million.
Last weekend's top film, the teen horror "Prom Night," slipped to No. 3 with $9.1 million, taking its 10-day haul to $32.6 million. It was released by Screen Gems, a low-budget division of Sony Corp.
"The Forbidden Kingdom" was released domestically by Lionsgate, a unit of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp, with some financial involvement from the closely held Weinstein Co. Lionsgate had hoped for an opening in the mid- to high-teen millions, said Steve Rothenberg, the studio's president of domestic theatrical distribution.
Li, who turns 45 on Saturday, starred in the last "chopsocky" chart-topper, "Hero," which opened to $18 million in August 2004. His most recent effort "War," a thriller co-starring Jason Statham, opened at No. 2 last August, with $9.8 million.
Chan, 54, topped the chart last August with the buddy comedy "Rush Hour 3," which opened to $49.1 million, but ended up underperforming its predecessors. Continued...

It would be interesting to see exactly which Bond movies Blu-ray fans are buying on this first round of releases.
All the Connery ones and Live and Let Die.
All of them.
It gonna depend on the price.
I already bought the Bond collection twice (VHS and DVD)
so I dont fell any hurry (I need money for food aswell) to buy them this time around,
but on the other hand, I said the same with the DVD. I just bought one for the fun of it, and one more, and another one etc etc.
Sell them for 15$ And the collecting will start.
All of them. I work on the FOX lot in Century City. FOX distributes MGM titles in their studio store for 1/3 retail. Quite a deal!
The only Bonds I will double-dip are the Connery titles. I will also buy the new Casino Royale, because I don't yet own a copy.
/personal opinion/ As someone who was reading the Fleming novels before the first movie was made, I have never been able to accept Roger Moore as Bond. Dalton was better, but the movies were bad; Brosnan was OK, but the movies were just idiotic.
I really like Craig as Bond and hope the franchise lives up to the promise shown in the CR reboot.
Well, originally I was only planning on getting the three Connery titles and Live and Let Die. But, then I saw the Bond 6-pack at Amazon for $112. $16 more for two more movies? I might have to go ahead and get that, instead...
I preordered all Connery titles. I'll rent the others because I've never seen them.
Also depends on the transfer. These are old films...I'm not sure how big of an improvement we can expect.
The early films like Dr. No are amazing. The middle films at least what I have seen on the HD movie channel aren't as good. There is a big honkin thread around here that helps to explain why. There are some really good screen caps floating around as well.
Ditto, although not all Bond films are created equal. I'm a completist
Couldn't have said it better.
I'd have to have a Walther PPK to my head to make me buy Die Another Day again ... but in this first round, I'm in for all the Connery's - and For Your Eyes Only. As they're released, I plan on picking up all of the Connery ones on BR, maybe the Daltons, and can NOT wait to get On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
As for the rest - I have the entire UE Collection on DVD, so I can live with those.
All of them, once the reviews are out and its been confirmed that their grain structure hasn't been smudged out.
iam going for die another day
i wish they would release all pierce bosnan bond films
I've bought the complete set 3 times already. (VHS and the 2 DVD sets-- luckily I didn't pay full MSRP at launch for any of them)
I'll be waiting for a very good deal before jumping in this time (I can't believe how fast the most recent set dropped in price).
That said, I will eventually own all of them on BR... making the 4th time I've bought all of these movies.
I'll probably at least rent a couple of the new releases, though, just to see what the fuss is about.

oops, I agree and didn't even notice Cry Another Day was one of them, no way I buy that POS
remember about that PPK, Bond's is .32ACP not .380ACP as most people think
Dr. No of course ....along with the other Sean Connery Bonds...
Just the Connery films for me.
Dr No, From Russia With Love,Thunderball, Goldfinger and On Her Majesty's Secret Service are complete no brainer buys for me. So, those in the first group I will get ASAP.
I'm getting all of them as they come along. While I find some entries to be vastly superior to others (the Connery and Dalton films are my favorites), I find merit in every Bond film.
I don't have any of the boxes cause I didn't want all the movies. Something tells me now I'll end up getting most of them anyway. This BD thingy is killing my wallet!
All of them
All of them except Live And Let Die. For now....
So, I take it that anything with the word "Die" in the title is not very good.

Did you see it?
Please tell me that you didn't blink and miss it. Please tell me you weren't home on the couch the whole time.
It was here, it was big-time, it was great, and now it's gone.
I sure as heck hope you didn't miss it.
The annual Little League Softball World Series, held Aug. 11-17 at Alpenrose Dairy in Southwest Portland (and just minutes from Beaverton), was everything a World Series should be.
You want great competition? This version of the Series - now well into its second decade of competition at Alpenrose - had it. Eventual Series champion Sterling, Ill., edged past Waco, Texas, 2-0 in its pool play opener, survived another pool play challenge from Westchester-Del Ray by a 7-2 margin, then took care of Waco again in the championship, coming back from a 3-0 deficit to secure its first Series title 7-5.
And the two teams in the championship - as well as 'B' pool champion Wilkes County Little League - could really, really play. Sterling pitcher Alexis Staples had velocity and location that belied her youthful age. Southwest's Chandlar Coskrey, Katie Guffey and Jordyn Baugh proved they could just flat swing the stick, banging out two hits each in the championship. And Wilkes - which lost to Southwest 9-5 in a semifinal thriller - had a potent combination of pitching, hitting and defense.
What about great crowds? If that was your thing, this World Series had it. Attendance at the Aug. 17 final was estimated (admission to the Little League World Series is free) at 2,000, while the two semifinal games held on Aug. 16 were just as big.
Further, Willow Creek - the local qualifier from Oregon District 4 - had large local crowds on hand to cheer at almost all of its tournament games.
Great representation? Oh yeah. In addition to some of the U.S. teams making their first appearances (including Willow Creek), newcomers from across the globe included: Muntinlupa Little League of Muntinlupa City in the Philippines; Windsor South Little League of Windsor, Ontario; Lombardia Little League of Milano, Italy; and ASOFEM Little League of Maunabo, Puerto Rico.
The Muntinlupa team - which became the first Asia-Pacific champion to ever reach the World Series semifinals - had to travel more than 6,700 miles to get to the Series.
Lombardia, which placed ninth overall, logged more than 5,500 miles on the long, long road to Alpenrose.
And ASOFEM, the Latin America champion, placed fifth in the Series after notching a one-way road trip of 3,744 miles to get to the Series.
Let me add one more factor that helped this Series to be great yet again - great organization. The World Series has big-time, World Series-class people running the show at Alpenrose.
From the Cadonau family that owns Alpenrose and allows the Series to be held there each year, to the folks who run the media trailer and help teams and their representatives get where they're going every day, to the ESPN crews who show up for the tournament semifinals and championship, to the grounds crews who put Alpenrose's fields into top-notch condition, to the scores of volunteers who take care of so many important behind-the-scenes details - from all of those folks, it was first class all the way.

GQ Features Hannah Ferguson, Damaris Lewis & Hailey Clauson in Rock Band T-Shirts!
Girls and loud music always pair quite well, and GQ has assembled an impressive cache of photographs featuring Hannah Ferguson, Damaris Lewis and Hailey Clauson decked out in band apparel.
Texas native Hannah Ferguson sizzles in an A$AP Rocky jersey as she explains what she misses most about her homeland- "Common courtesy things! I'm not offended—I hold doors open for guys all the time. But it's definitely kind of a shocker, because where I'm from, guys always open the door for you, or give up a seat on the subway."
Meanwhile, Damaris Lewis, who has toured with Prince, chatted about the most surprising thing about her musician pal- "He's a basketball fan. I mean, I don't think a lot of people realize how normal – even though he's a legend and Prince. I think one of our favorite pastimes is to watch basketball, especially during playoffs. That's all we do. And one year I gave him my league pass password. Yep."
Ms. Lewis also discussed her role as the 'other woman' in Kate Upton's notorious "Dougie" video- "Ok. Let me tell you the story. I can't make this up. Kate and I were both in LA at the same time. Kate was staying with me for a couple of days. She's like, 'Oh my God, I love to Dougie.' And she does it for me, and I was like, 'Never do that again'. And she was like, 'No. I love – like, this is my song.' And we kept playing it over and over and over again in the hotel room to practice it. Cause I can Dougie. Like, I can really, like, get real Brooklyn with it. So we go to the game and I say to Kate – first thing we sit down, I was like, 'Kate, yo, if the Dougie comes on, don't do it. Just don't it.' That's why in the video, I'm like, 'Just do it already.' Because I'm waiting for this moment to be over. She does the Dougie and now the video is viral."

Historic Programs Complete Championship Runs at Cathedral of Tennis
May 20, 2014
Historic Programs Complete Championship Runs at Cathedral of Tennis
ATHENS, Ga.---Finals day was an exhibition of all that is good about college tennis, especially for the UCLA women's and Southern California men's teams as they clinched national championships Tuesday at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.
The seventh-seeded Bruins were the first champions of the day as they managed to battle past a North Carolina team that almost scored an improbable comeback. The No.7 Tar Heels were on the back foot early as the Bruins grabbed the doubles point with wins at number two and one doubles to complete a perfect season in doubles for UCLA. Catherine Harrison and Kyle McPhillips took the first match to end with a dominating 8-2 win. No.1 seeded doubles team Robin Anderson and Jennifer Brady gave the Bruins the early 1-0 advantage with a 8-7(3) win over No.3 team Jamie Loeb and Hayley Carter.
Second-seeded Anderson defeated top seed Loeb 6-2, 6-2 at number one to extend the Bruins lead before Hayley Carter and Kate Vialle pulled the Tar Heels level with wins at numbers two (6-2, 6-2) and five (6-4, 6-4). Channelle Van Nguyen would then put UCLA in pole position with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 comeback victory at four before the match was levelled at 3-3 by UNC's Tessa Lyon's at number six.
From there the drama switched to number three as McPhillips battled Caroline Price in a three set decider. The Bruins McPhillips was able to put herself and her team on the brink of a national title but wasn't able to finish Price easily as they contested the final point for several minutes. Eventually, however, McPhillips was able to score the victory and ensure the national championship would head back west.
The seconded-seeded Sooners were able to capitalize early to score an early advantage as they clinched the doubles point against the No.1 Trojans. Alex Ghilea and Nick Papac put the Sooners in pole position before the number two duo of Guillermo Alcorta and Andrew Harris sealed Oklahoma's early advantage.
Despite entering the singles portion of the match down 1-0, USC quickly started making headway into the advantage and towards the school's 100th total national championship. After Dane Webb put the Sooners on top 2-0 it was all Trojans. Yannick Hanfmann and Ray Sarmiento quickly struck back at numbers one and two by scores of 7-5, 6-2 and 6-4, 7-6(4) respectively.
As the action moved to `the pit Southern California began asserting their dominance as Eric Johnson put the Trojans within touching distance of their second national championship in three years. With both numbers four and six indicating a Trojan victory, the honor of clinching the championship fell to Max de Vroome at number four as he outlasted Andrew Harris 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to ensure the national championship trophies will reside in the city of Los Angeles.
Tuesday's Drop Shots
>>>Lucky No. 100
Southern California just won its 21st tennis national title, but it also becomes just the third school with 100 NCAA team titles. It trails cross-town rival UCLA (111) and Stanford (105). The Trojans 21 men's tennis titles are most by any school leading Stanford (17), UCLA (16) and Georgia (6).
"To do it with these guys is always special. You start with a group that I don't think anyone would have said would win the NCAAs back in September," said USC head coach Peter Smith. "It's a credit to them and how hard they worked. We've had so many great players, and it's amazing to now see a new group step up. They all stepped up. Winning one of these is so hard."
>>>A band in the stands
Smith said in the postgame press conference that Southern California sends the band to the sites when teams make the semifinals of national championship events.
But, when Smith looked into the stands Monday night, the band was nowhere in sight.
"I don't arrange it, but they weren't here yesterday. I was downplaying it with the team, but I was pissed," Smith said laughing. "When you win a national title, and the band plays the fight song, it's a pretty special feeling."
Smith said the band was late to Athens because it had a prior engagement. The band also played at the 2011 and 2012 championships.
>>>"This is the best site"
In the postgame awards ceremony, Oklahoma head coach John Roddick said that in his "unbiased opinion", the tennis championships should be held in Athens every year. Roddick both played and coached in Athens, however he wasn't the only one who had favorable opinions about Athens serving as the host.
"I think it's important to mix it up, but I certainly think every two or three years it should be here. This is the best site. It has the best town, it has the best fans and it has the best facility," Smith said. "It's a wonderful place to play, and the atmosphere the last two nights...I keep on saying special, but it's just different. They know what they're doing here, also."
Southern California has now won five national titles in Athens.
Georgia will host the NCAA Division-I Tennis Championships again in 2017.
>>>Making strides
Oklahoma entered the 2014 NCAA Tournament with just seven NCAA wins to its name in program history. It leaves the tournament with 12 after notching five wins en route to its runner-up performance.
"If you look back on our season, at the beginning, we were very top heavy, with four guys playing really well," said Roddick. "Our five and six were really not very good in February. We were able to win a lot of matches anyway, but I think those guys really pulling together, our top guys leading those guys in getting better, and all of the sudden you have a complete team. This is the first time we had a very complete team."

I am 41 years old and have been unhappy with the way my eyes have been aging (crows feet, dark circles,fine lines). I went to a very reputable laser MD and had one very aggressive and expensive treatment. I actually flew from CO to NY to visit this doctor. I had a limited amount of time in NY, so this was the reason for the 1 agressive treatment. I had awful swelling, oozing and crusting for about a week, which got visibly better day by day. It has been 2 weeks, and the swelling around the eyes is what is worrying me now. There are 2 rows of "bags" under one eye and one bag under the other. My eyes look like they have rings under them. Every day I wake up and hope to see just the tiniest bit of improvement, but they remain unchanged. I wish I knew that this was temporary. I could deal with the puffieness if I knew for sure that I won't have these bags permanently. At this point I am thinking my old eyes weren't so bad and wish I had them back. If anyone could offer an explanation or give comments they'd be MUCH appreciated. Sue

Webelos Activity Badge Day will give you and your Webelos Scouts a head start on earning outdoor activity badges. In addition to working on activity badges your boys can enjoy Boy Scout Skill Stations that introduce some of the activities they will encounter in Boy Scouting. Webelos Scouts should be able to complete most requirements for an activity badge in each session. Leaders and packs will be responsible for certifying the completion of activity badges, turning in advancement reports to the council scout center, and supplying the advancement awards.
NOTE: Boy Scout Skill Stations and Webelos Activity Badge Workshop assignments are made on a first come, first served basis. If there is not sufficient interest in a particular Boy Scout Skill Station or Webelos Activity Badge Workshops, that session may be cancelled and participants given a second choice. Dens will receive assignments upon arrival.
COST: $25 per boy early bird fee and $30 if received after the last early bird date (September 13, 2013). This fee includes: program supplies and camp usage. There is no adult fee. Fees are non-refundable but may be transferred to another Webelos Scout. Fee includes an embroidered event patch.
BRING: Completed Individual Health History form, Webelos Book, water bottle/canteen, note pad and pencil, appropriate clothing for the weather (including rain gear), sunscreen, and brown-bag lunch. Optional items you may wish to bring include camera, day pack, extra shoes and socks.

Who needs Wikipedia anyway?By
Yesterday Baidu, China's leading search company, announced first quarter numbers that were so good the company's Nasdaq-traded stock price jumped by 37% in just one day. Baidu also announced that the company has launched a Chinese-language encyclopedia called Baike.
(Helpful hint to all non-Mandarin speakers out there: Baike is pronounced "bi" and "kuh," two syllables.) The new online reference source will be in Chinese, will be written by Baidu's users, and will comply with Chinese censorship rules. In other words, it will be a sanitized alternative to Wikipedia, which is banned in China.
The news is a useful reminder of how China is striving to be self-sufficient on the Net. In the debate about the role American companies play in censoring the Internet in China, the argument is often about leverage. Aren't U.S. companies – world beaters like Google – powerful enough to get Beijing to make concessions on the issue of censorship? Companies say no but many critics disagree. For instance, in February, around the same time the issue was gathering steam in the U.S. thanks to a hearing on Capital Hill in which lawmakers reprimanded Yahoo and others for following Beijing's rules, Jacob Weisberg addressed the question of leverage in Slate: "[O]ur technology companies, which are the envy of the world, have unique leverage. If U.S. law requires them to take a joint stand on the issue of Internet freedom, China would face a choice between throwing out the lot of them or easing up on anti-democratic enforcement. China does not want to forgo the economic advantages of their presence, even at the risk of undermining its political order."
Surely there are some American companies that China's rulers truly want to have in the country. The Chinese very much want investment from the likes of Intel, since China's semiconductor industry is still in its infancy. The government has a love/hate relationship with Microsoft, which it wants to help build the software industry even as Beijing encourages the development of open-source alternatives to Windows. But do China's leaders really care one way or the other whether a Yahoo or eBay or Amazon is in China, when the country has no shortage of home-grown alternatives like Sohu and Taobao and Dangdang? Yes, Cisco is big, but China has Huawei, run by a former officer in the People's Liberation Army. Google is all-powerful, but the Chinese have Baidu, which is good enough. Best of all from a Party perspective, these Chinese companies follow the rules that Beijing lays down - without any public griping. If the Americans were to follow the advice of some critics and demand that Beijing change its policies or else, I doubt that China's leaders would need to spend much time before telling them where to go.

Im looking at a used USP 45 at a local dealer for 699.00. Comes with a case and 4 mags, but the white dot is missing off the front site. Is this too much for a used gun that im gonna have to repair the sites on?

Im looking at a used USP 45 at a local dealer for 699.00. Comes with a case and 4 mags, but the white dot is missing off the front site. Is this too much for a used gun that im gonna have to repair the sites on?
Used yes I think that is a bit steep. Closer to $600 would be more reasonable. The 4 mags instead of 2 certainly helps but still a bit high in my opinion. That front sight might of intentionally been removed as some shooters prefer an all black front post to a white or tritium dot although most would simply use a permanent marker to blacken it out instead of removal. If it is in good shape other than the sight I would offer $575 and consider $600 as the top end in consideration of those extra mags.
Keep in mind that HK factory USP mags go for around $70 - $80 right now. A new set of sights might go for around $130 - $200. If it's not in horrible shape, I'd try and get them down to $625 - $650 if it's really what you want.
I put a new set of Trijicon night sites on mine for 84 bucks from Optics Planet. Click the link below!
Trijicon Night Sight Set for H&K USP - HK06 FREE S&H HK06, HK06-O, HK06-Y. Trijicon NightSights Tritium & Fiber Optic Night Sights, Trijicon Tritium & Fiber Optic Night Sights.
hell the if the one I saw used tonight was that price i would have bought it. The cheapest if found a 45 here used is 799..... 9mm used go for 699
This particular gun is not cheap even used. Was at the gun show last week and they wanted to give me $600 unseen for my USP Compact .45 here in S. Florida. If you can negotiate more I'd try to get them to repair the sites for no additional cost. Or maybe talk them into night sites for $695.
I don't know if the full sized is worth more than a compact. I doubt it personally. I just picked up a used in great condition (250 rounds through it) usp compact .45. A shoulder holster, the uncle mikes holster that holds the spare magazine. 3 magazines, tru dot night sights, 250 rounds of .45 ammo. For $500 last night. I know I got a killer deal.
IMO the price for that is high without seeing pics of the gun. Not the highest I have seen but to me it seems high
It's a bit high for what you're getting. I can get USP45 mags for right around $35, and the front sight is going to be problematic if you want that white dot in there. Now, you can fill the hole with a styrene rod and some epoxy, but for that price you shouldn't have to.
Personally I'd rather see that gun in the mid 5s before I seriously considered it.

SKYWARN Program Is Tonight In Fairfield
1/23/2014 by
The National Weather Service (NWS) office in Fort Worth, as part of its area-wide weather preparedness campaign, is presenting the SKYWARN severe weather program on Thursday, January 23rd, at Fairfield High School.
Freestone County Emergency Management and the National Weather Service have come together to bring this program to Freestone County.
Tornadoes claimed the lives of six people in Granbury and damaged the Rancho Brazos Subdivision when an EF-4 tornado roared through the area. These were the first tornado fatalities since the Anna-Westminster tornado of May 9, 2006.
The program for 2014 will cover thunderstorm formation, ingredients, and features associated with severe storms.
The presentation will consist of a review of tornado formation and behavior, and will give some reasons why some storms produce tornadoes and some don?t.
In addition there will be discussion, in the two-hour program, non-threatening clues that may be mistaken for significant features, spotter operations and reporting procedures.
?Once again, we have plenty of new material for the training session,? said Mark Fox, Warning Coordination Meteorologist at the Fort Worth National Weather Service Office. We will be showing the 2013 storms in detail highlighting the subtle, yet important features.?
The purpose of the spotter training and of the storm spotter network remains unchanged. ?Weather Radar is a great tool, but it only tells part of the storm?s story.?
This program is free and open to the public with no early registration necessary. The Freestone County severe weather program is on of over 60 training sessions that the Fort Worth NWS office will conduct between January and March 2014.the National Weather Service in Fort Worth provides forecasts, warnings, and weather services for 46 counties in north and north-central Texas. Visit the website at http.//www.weather.gov/fortworth, on facebook at http.//www.facebook.com/US.NationalWeatherService.fortWorth.gov and on twitter at @NWSFortWorth.

The following is the transcript of the interview with Paolo Zamboni, conducted by The Globe's Siri Agrell. The Italian medical professor turned the multiple sclerosis community on its head by suggesting that MS - long regarded as an autoimmune disease - might be caused by chronic cerebro-spinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI).
What's your reaction to the death of Mahir Mostic [the Ontario man who died last month after undergoing an angioplasty in a Costa Rican clinic]
There are thousands of procedures done all over the world. I cannot control what happens in any way. My academic activities cannot control what happens in the world.
Do you feel bad that your name is connected to these types of deaths?
We have thousands of requests for visits, consultations. But I never reply because it's not possible. I work 12 hours a day on this kind of research. I am not a consultant and I do not perform any activity related to the business of CCSVI at all.
What are you researching now?
It's going very well. I think that in the next six months we'll publish several publics, some in co-operation with other universities around the world. In one month, I believe we'll get final approval for a big, double blinded, randomized control trial on the value of balloon angioplasty in MS treatment. This may be the only study to help us understand the role of CCSVI treatment. It will involve approximately 15 centres in Italy and double blinded and randomized in order to avoid any residual doubt on the so-called placebo effect. There will be an objective measurement, not just the subjective clinical assessment of a neurologist, but also by using the proper device for measuring motor activity, balance, and neural activity.
When will that study be completed?
Two years. The observation will be 15 months. But you have to get all the data from all the centres and the analysis will require time.
If you find that the procedure is not helpful, do you think people will stop getting the procedure done?
I don't think so. My recommendation at this particular moment, from a scientific point of view -which is the only point of view interesting for me - is that we do not have enough data to recommend surgery in MS. But individuals, both physicians and patients, are completely free to do what they want. I cannot control this. I do not want to control this. But certainly, the message is that we are not ready in this moment to recommend surgery.
Are you monitoring other studies around the world?
Yes, I was in New York last week at a big vascular meeting and had a lot of exchanges from colleagues from all over the world. And I understand that there is the intention to submit different ethical, quality-controlled studies for approval regarding diagnosis and treatment. I think this is very interesting. This is fantastic to me because of the [studies']non-profit status.
Why do you think so many countries have been reluctant to endorse the CCSVI treatment?
The Canadian situation can be transported to other countries. There is very big opposition on behalf of the neurology community usually involved in MS research. They prefer at this moment to perform epidemiological studies. But I think that this can be considered a parallel track. Because information coming from the correction of CCSVI is also very important and cannot be postponed in my opinion.
So you think that both avenues should be studied?
Yes, I think both are very important. And there are many other prospective models: in vitro, genetics. All these studies can be carried out contemporaneously and give us a lot of information in a reduced time. Because that is very important for people.
Do you think news of CCSVI complications and deaths is setting back your research?
Yes, because what I saw in the last month is that the treatment of CCSVI is, in the majority of cases, investigated with the wrong methodology and protocols as opposed to what we proposed. And this is contributing to big confusion. It will be negative in confirming our data, but the point is that nobody used the gold standard.
Do you think doctors are being irresponsible by performing the procedure?Report Typo/Error

Take a Ride on the Cloud
Manage Internet technology less, focus on your patients more.
By Jay Greenstein, DC, CCSP, CGFI-L1, CKTP
With a priority on investing as much of every dollar on patient care as possible, doctors of chiropractic are looking for cost-effective ways to reduce capital expenditures as their practices grow and exit the Internet technology (IT) business.Moving IT services to the cloud offers a compelling alternative to provisioning IT the traditional way. Instead of staffing an IT team and buying and maintaining costly infrastructure and hardware, think of the cloud as "renting" a pre-built infrastructure and IT services. We moved all of our IT to the cloud and it has been the best technology decision we have ever made.
On a recent trip to Silicon Valley for a business conference, I met up with my friend Karen Hayward, the executive vice president and chief marketing officer of CenterBeam, a IT managed service provider delivering cloud technology. With so much happening in the IT world so quickly, I wanted to get an overview of where we are today in the world of cloud technology. To help doctors of chiropractic learn more about how to leverage a safe, efficient and cost-effective IT environment, I did a quick Q&A with Karen.
What is the cloud? While the cloud terminology is new, the technology is not. When the Internet began offering significant bandwidth in the '90s, Web 2.0 emerged. Greater bandwidth paved the way for companies to deliver enterprise-class applications via the Web. Since then, Web-based services have continued to evolve into what is now commonly called cloud-based services.
In layman terms, cloud computing simply refers to IT resources and applications that are available via the Internet. Services hosted over the cloud run on servers connected to the Internet. Web mail is a simple example. If you use Web mail services such as Gmail or Yahoo!, your e-mail is considered "in the cloud" because you can access it from any device with an Internet connection.
What are the three primary benefits of moving to the cloud? 1) It's cost effective. Managed IT services delivered via the cloud offer reduced management overhead, access to a broader scope of IT expertise, lower overall financial investment, and improved system uptime/availability. IT services are analogous to a utility whereby your cloud provider supplies your organization's computing needs (think "subscribe vs. own"). 2) You gain on-demand services and support. Few health care organizations have the resources, expertise or capital necessary to keep their infrastructure in peak condition, let alone support or contribute to the operational challenges they are trying to conquer. 3) It frees you from the IT burden. By offloading the complexities of IT infrastructure management and helpdesk support, you can focus on patient care. And with the right cloud provider, you'll have on-demand access to a wide range of technical experts and a team that will remain engaged with you to ensure your IT stays aligned with your business requirements.
What does a cloud provider do? Essentially, a cloud service provider owns the burden of continually investing in and maintaining an enterprise-class infrastructure so you don't have to. Instead, you pay a flat monthly rate for just those services you subscribe to. The cloud provider staffs for a diverse set of technical capabilities, procures hardware and software, and ensures your hosted servers and applications remain up to date with the latest security patches.
What are the main things to look for when choosing a cloud provider? Not all cloud providers are equal. Each organization has unique business requirements (such as HIPAA compliance); health care leaders who are clear on their priorities and firm on their requirements can make a transition to the cloud not only a smart, but also a safe decision. Knowing the key areas to focus on as you explore cloud services can help you select the best provider for your needs and help ensure success:
What are the key advantages of leveraging the cloud? Moving IT services to the cloud allows health care organizations to stay focused on strategic goals and priorities with the confidence that IT operations are running smoothly. And by offering organizations access to enterprise class tools and services, customers receive cost-effective IT services that are more reliable and secure than what they could provision on their own.
Doctors of chiropractic need every advantage in this highly competitive health care marketplace. Leveraging technology to reduce capital expenditures, improve efficiency and build an infrastructure for growth are critical to our bottom lines. Finding trusted technology vendors is 99 percent of the game. You hire the right people, you follow their recommendations and they become part of your practice team. IT service providers will play an increasingly important role and national health care takes hold. Start your engines now, and you'll be ready to fuel your growth for security and longevity in practice.

He is also insurance chairman and public-relations chairman for the Virginia Chiropractic Association, and insurance chairman for the Maryland Chiropractic Association.

A recent testing of school supplies done in New York revealed that an alarming number of items that children use everyday is contaminated with dangerous chemicals and toxins. Senator Charles Schumer warned parents about the numerous school products, such as backpacks, lunch boxes, and binders that may actually pose a threat to young children. These items can be contaminated with phthalates, a toxic chemical that can has been linked to asthma, attention deficiency hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and diabetes.
The Center for Health, Environment and Justice discovered that roughly 75% of these school supplies contain phthalates or PVCs, polyvinyl chlorides that are used in creating teething toys. These products, such as Disney and Spider-man lunchboxes are very popular amongst children, and now they pose a huge threat for them. Phthalates have been banned from the production of toys but are not banned from school supplies because supplies do not fall under the same category. Schumer is attempting to get the senate to pass the Safe Chemical Act, which would require companies to prove that their products are safe to use by children.
According to ABC4 news, Schumer expressed his concerns over this discovery: "School supplies are supposed to help our children with their education, they shouldn't be harming their health…We don't allow high levels of these toxic chemicals in children's toys and we certainly shouldn't allow them in back-to-school products. When kids take their lunch to school this fall, they shouldn't be carrying it in a lunchbox laden with toxic chemicals."
The U.S. Senate must protect the safety of children and pass the Safe Chemical Act. Companies must be held accountable for the products they manufacture, and ensure that they are safe to use. Children love Disney backpacks and lunchboxes, and they should be allowed to use them safely. Children are our future and they need to be protected by creating a law that would require companies to prove that they have manufactured safe products for children.
Dear U.S. Senate,
The Center for Health, Environment and Justice revealed that about 75% of school supplies are made with toxic chemicals that can severely harm children. Phthalates, dangerous toxins that have been linked to asthma, attention deficiency hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and diabetes, are present in items, such as book bags, lunchboxes, and three-ring binders. These products are used by children every day, endangering their health every second. Phthalates are illegal to use in the production of children's toys, but since supplies are not toys, there are no such regulations.
It is vital for you to make sure that products with phthalates or other dangerous chemicals can no longer be legally manufactured. Senator Charles Schumer is pushing for the Safe Chemical Act, which would require companies to prove that they have not used any harmful chemicals in the production of their items. This act will help protect innocent children from health risks.
By passing the act, you will help protect children all around our nation.
