I just received my JetBeam TCR2 S2 LED light from Australia. Powered by a CR 123 battery, this is a compact and elegant light. It has a CREE XP-G S2 LED light.
The TC4 titanium finish is polished. It has a crosshatch design in the middle, and an integrated titanium alloy belt clip secured by T4 torx screws. It is capable of doing a tail stand. This is waterproof to 2 meters and is submersible. It is impact resistant to 1.5 meters.
The light has a rear clicky power button. Light intensity is adjusted by a magnetic ring that goes from 0.003 lumens to 310 lumens with a beam distance of 118 meters. At 0.003 lumens, it can last 105 hours and at 310 lumens it can last 35 minutes based upon a 1350 mAH battery. Rotating the magnetic ring counterclockwise, puts it in strobe mode. Rotating it clockwise puts it at 310 lumens.
This is lightweight and will serve as my Everyday Carry Light.http://188.8.131.52/mu/62e757ea-7946-12a9.jpg

"I made this salad today for lunch. All I can say is Winner! I made a couple of changes. I toasted the walnuts, and added a cooked egg. I omitted the yogurt since I didn't have any but the mayo was perfect. This recipe is not only easy but delicious. I highly recommend it as a Volunteer Field Editor."

cant figure out how to go onto previous thread. so heres another question
how much does it matter that we would be running pistons that offer 10:1 compression. when the cam suggests that it needs 11:1.? Is this a stupid question?
Welcome to the site! There is no such thing as a stupid question on here. Nobody ever learned anything by not asking questions unless, you stick your hand in fire and ask yourself if it's hot.
I can't answere yours other than there would be more to gain with 11:1's than 10:1's. SQZBOIX
Generally, this type of cam will have longer duration which means that the opening time of the valves is sooner, the closing time is later, and the overlap is greater. The longer durations allow for greater air/fuel flow through the engine. The trade off is that it sort of acts like a "leak" in that it will bleed off some of the pressure created by the piston travel. This in turn reduces the "dynamic compression" or "cranking compression." In the end, this reduces the mean effective pressure which is what pushes the piston down, creating torque through the crankshaft. This "allows" you to run a higher static compression ratio. In order to obtain full advantage of the camshaft, the mean effective pressure needs to be at a certain level and due to the cam flow characteristics, a minimum compression ratio is specified to meet that MEP.
Short answer, the 10:1 will work but it will not be optimal. You may even be disappointed in the performance over your present cam. For best results, always match your components. Think of your engine as a team.
Would you mind posting the cam specs, the engine and how it'll be driven (ie cruiser, bracketcar, rockcrawler etc). There are a lot of generalities floating around that manufactors like to put in thier paperwork (cover your butt mentality), some applies and some won't. Ther's some talented people on here that'll be happy to help if you give them more info ok? Later, oj
To compensate for the lost bottom end power, the compression ratio is increased to force more work out of less mixture. In this case giving up a full ratio could take 10 to 15 percent off the power curve below the torque peak, and possibly a like amount off the top end.
In the range of the top end, the engine starts to run out of breath from not having enough time to intake a full cylinder volume. At this extreme, the high compression ratio comes back to help extend the RPM range by again getting more work out of less mixture.
The middle RPM range at high loads with high compression is the detonation danger point. When things are at the optimum for cylinder filling and the compression ratio high, an engine that is working hard, thus hot but not turning really fast, is subject to detonation. Stiffer gears to get the revs up which reduces the working load, a cooler operating environment, cooler intake air, a richer mixture, reduced timing advance, or greater exhaust restriction are potential solutions to get thru that problem.
In the end you want a Dynamic Compression Ratio (DCR) in the range of 8 or 9 to 1. A quick and dirty calculator of the DCR can be found in many places a decent one is at Kieth Black's site http://kb-silvolite.com/calc.php?action=comp
The DCR is always less than the Static Compression Ratio (SCR) which is the one you calculate from the volumes contained by the cylinder and head.
Running a Lunati cam...#20202... Duration at ,050 Tappat lift..242,242...Advertised Duration 310,310 Lift at Valve .530,.. Lobe Separation 114, Compression Ratio 10:1. Solid Lift cam. Hot rodding...weekend warrior at an official racetrack.
based on the LSA of 114 i dont think that the 10:1 will be a problem, you should bleed off enough cylinder pressure with this cam, to honest it's a bit more LSA then i would want to run on a high duration cam (high out put cam) such as this i would look more for a 108-110 LSA, but this would be less forgiving to the difference in recomended compression ratio and actuall ratio
Thanks.....another question....when I get the answers...I feel so knowledgeable ..Say your running 106cc heads..and you lengthen the stroke..are you then raising the compression ratio? What exactly is the compression ratio.....please explain it to me in terms that I can then repeat.For instance if you lengthen the stroke aka a stroker kit and then use bigger head cc aren't you going right back to where you were? it seems lke if you kept the smaller head you would have a smaller space to combust and therefor raise the ratio?????? i might be way out there on this one? :
you can buy a stroker kit, where the throw or stroke of the piston tavel is increased, this is the meassured thength of travel between the piston at bottom dead center(BDC) and top dead center(TDC). they are able to increase stroke by changing where the rod connects to the piston, it is resesed further into the piston skirt. changing to a stroker kit wont nessesaraly increase your compression ratio because the piston will still come up to the same point in the cylinder when it's at TDC but it well travel father down the cylinder to get to BDC. now for the compression ratio and pistons, average flat top piston actually has a -5 to -7cc dish in the top of the piston, called a valve relief. some pistons will have a D shaped dish with anywhere from -12cc to -22cc, you can also buy a O shaped dished piston that doesn't have a very efficent combuston characteristics(i would stay away from the O dish). a larger dish in the piston will lower the compression ratio, and vise versa. you can also by domed pistons where the center/top of the piston actually rises above the the outer edge of the piston, a higher dome will create higher compression ratios. the compression chamber is the area between the piston crown and the "pocket" in the heads", the compression ratio is the ratio between the area in the cylinder when the piston is at BDC vs. the area in the cylinder when the piston is at TDC. i mentioned before that a cam with a 114 LSA will creat less combuston, this happens because the intake valve stays open longer into the pistons compression stroke, thus actually "bleeding off" or loosing some of the compression through the intake valve, this means it is leaking some of it's possible power out though the intake valve.
Ok, here's the deal in a nut shell. I have a 427 ci motor, .60 over, 4.310 bore. There is a forged crank in it with rods which have 3/8's bolts attaching them to the crank. I must confess that I am concerned about the integrety of the bottom end and also the power limitations of the bottom end. Pistons in the engine are TRW forged 2300 +.60. The heads I have are 3964291, 106cc closed chamber rectangle port, 327 cc intake runner LS6 (1970 castings. I'd like to put parts in the bottom end which will take advantage of the flow characteristics of the heads if there is a better bottom end,crank, rods, pistons. Keep in mind ..using a 10:1 compression ratio, I've never raced on a 1/8 mile track before and I have a 1/4 mile strip within 50 miles of my home. That's what I'd like to do someday. I happen to be 52 years old and have never lost the itch. One more thing. Keep in mind that this 427 is brand new, just rebuilt, four hours running time. Someone recomended a XE294H-10 comp cam but I didn't like the way it sounded. So now the heads are back off and I just slid a lunati 20202 in it. I'll probably end up putting it on the shelf too, if I come up with a better lower end combination. I do not wish to waste a good set of heads with a not-up-to-snuff bottom end. Whats your opinion????? idea.
why are you worried about the integrety of the bottem end, you mention that it has a forged rank in it, you didn't mention what kind, you didn't mention what kinda rods are in it either, but even a stock gm crank is capable of some impressive power output if propperly balanced. i didn't look up the lunati cam but if you plan on racing this motor then i would recomend a solid cam whether it be flat tappit or a roller, a hydraulic cam and hydraulic lifters dont hold up well to the abuse done at the track
If your rods have had ARP rod bolts put in them and then been resized on the big end I wouldn't worry about them to 7200+ rpm in the short stroke 427 with a forged factory crank. You have plenty good pieces, you could make 650 hp and not hurt them. Only extreme over-revving is going to hurt them.
The cam you have isn't bad, a copy of the factory hi-po solid cam. If you are serious about more race use, you could do better with a more modern grind.
One thind I would recommend is getting an "face oiling" solid lifter. These have a laser'ed tiny hole in the lifter face to constantly oil the cam and lifter interface. BBC's are hard on cams, and this is good insurance.

ALL calls to 956-971-1703 -main USPS location on Pecan are NEVER answered...NEVER !!!
USPS Customer Service is an offensive joke on us...There is no "USPS Customer Service"... When I called 1-800-ASK-USPS® (1-800-275-8777), the "interactive" answering service does NOT give the caller the option to contact ANY USPS Customer Service...When I tried submitting my inquiry via email on USPS website gave me the answer "technical difficulties...try submitting again at a later time"... I have been trying for 3 consecutive days this week!!!
Don't think this is the first time I have encountered these problems...USPS has always been a non-reliable business and -whenever possible-I agreed to pay more to UPS and FedEx just to avoid USPS ..but..sometimes I do not have have other choices but using USPS...and each time USPS dissapointed me !

'When I researched The No Nonsense Guide to Tourism, I was fascinated by the way the concept of 'paradise' was created by the tourism industry and the way we bought into it, hook, line and sinker.'

The view from on high
The view from the Shanti Café is, undeniably, spectacular. Beach, fishing boats, distant Shore Temples rising from the spray of the turquoise sea. And as the café is one floor up, there are additional advantages to the view, as the European owner points out: 'It's better up here where you don't have to be watched by poor people looking at your food as you eat.' Being one storey up means that customers are inaccessible to the women plying the scorching sands trying to sell bedsheets, or the men determinedly trying to interest tourists in stone carved elephants.

The price of tourism
Kumar takes a small plaster elephant from the rows displayed on the glass cabinet of his shop. He starts drawing lines on the floor with its foot. 'The government wants to turn this place into a second Taj Mahal.Straight roads everywhere so you can see the monuments.' We've been talking about the recent wholesale destruction of most of the street trees.

How Teenage Psychology is Presented in the Novel 'Martyn Pig' by Kevin Brooks
Brooks relates Martyn's philosophy of life. He goes deep into the mind of the boy as Martyn tells the reader his concept of dreams. He feels demons are there but are created by the mind itself. Psychologists agree with Martyn's interpretation of dreams as they often help them understand people. It's interesting that Martyn only talks about demons in dreams.

Serotonin Syndrome
Serotonin Syndrome is a reaction produced by the body as a direct result of having an overabundance of serotonin (Pubmed). Often times, Serotonin Syndrome occurs when combining two or more medications known to increase the levels of serotnin in the body. Most people are able to regulate this inbalance, however, rarely symptoms present themselves. Often, these symptoms are mild and overlooked:

The Concept of Salvation: Helping You Have a Better Life
All of us wanted to be saved, and this is why we aim for salvation. There are now a lot of religions today that we can hold on to in order for us to be saved. Some say that the time of judgment is already and for us to embrace salvation, we need to start changing. Yes, it is true. We need to change from a person who is attached to the world to a person that is rooted in the Words of God.

What To Do When Your Comfort Zone is No Longer That Comfortable
Life gives us choices but we cannot control most of the "choices" it gives us. However, while we might not be able to control certain happenings in our lives, we can control how we respond to them. Life is all about challenging yourself to try new things, live a better life and get out of your comfort zone.

Lessons Learned from the Pig
the pig serves as a useful test of personality traits of the drawer. Then he proceeded that we note where our pigs were drawn in the paper. It is because if the pig is drawn a) towards the top of the paper, it tells that the drawer is positive and optimistic. b) If the pig is drawn towards the middle, it tells that the drawer is realistic. c) Towards the bottom, it tells that the drawer is more of a pessimistic and has a tendency to behave negatively.

The Halo Effect: The Psychology of Good Looks and Occupational Success
In conclusion, the halo effect is advantageous to good-looking people in terms of occupational success not because of their good looks per se. One great reason why the halo effect takes effect is the perception of the people around these good-looking people.

Fort Ebey
Fort Ebey State Park
Fort Ebey State Park, a 645-acre camping park on Whidbey Island, was originally built as a coastal defense fort in World War II. Concrete platforms mark the gun locations. Panoramic views of the Puget Sound shoreline, the Olympic Mountains and sunsets. The park features paragliding, surfing and gun batteries to explore. Eagles may be viewed at Lake Pondilla. The park has three miles of saltwater shoreline on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, a freshwater lake for fishing, and miles of hiking and biking trails.
Slideshow Left Arrow
Slideshow Right Arrow
Please note:
U.S. Navy jets from nearby Naval Air Station Whidbey Island periodically fly over the campground while engaged in local training. Depending on the direction of the wind, their flight pattern may put them above the park, creating noisy conditions for campers. At various times during the day and night, the aviators may engage in Field Carrier Landing Practice for imminent operations aboard aircraft carriers. The park and naval station have been neighbors since 1942, and park staff stays in regular contact with officials at NAS Whidbey Island. We will do our best to notify campers of anticipated Field Carrier Landing Practice periods. Although State Parks cannot be responsible for the jet noise, we do share visitor concerns with representatives of Naval Air Station Whidbey.
ADA Amenities/Facilities
Hiking trail
Picnic & Day-Use Facilities
The park has 25 unsheltered picnic tables. Picnic sites are located at the Gun Battery, the beach area, and the Point Partridge area. All unsheltered picnic tables are first come, first served.

Cut Your Tax Bill & Save Money: Tax-Deferred Savings Plans
In Tuesday's blog, I talked about how tax-exempt savings plans, such as health savings accounts, can reduce your taxable income while also enabling you to save money for future expenses. Today I'll talk about tax-deferred savings plans, which enable you to postpone paying taxes on some income until a future date.
Before talking about these savings plans, a quick math and tax lesson. Let's say you earn $50,000 a year, you're single and you claim the standard federal tax deduction of $5,700. The deduction reduces your total income of $50,000 to a taxable income of $44,300. Assuming no other credits or deductions, you'd pay $7,262.50 in federal income tax.
However, if you make payments into a tax-deferred savings plan such as an individual retirement account (also known as an IRA) or a 401(k), those contributions are subtracted from your total income. Suppose, for example, that you made a $5,000 contribution to an IRA. The Internal Revenue Service allows you to deduct that contribution from your total income. In our example, the $5,000 would be subtracted from your $50,000 total income, which would give you adjusted gross income of $45,000. Once the $5,700 standard deduction is also subtracted, your taxable income is now $39,300. You'd pay $6,012.50 in taxes, compared to the $7,262.50 you would have paid if you hadn't made the IRA contribution. In other words, your $5,000 IRA contribution reduced your taxes by $1,250, and, for all intents and purposes, it only cost you $3,750 to save an additional $5,000.
Types of Tax-Deferred Accounts
There are several types of tax-deferred savings plans, including traditional 401(k) plans and traditional IRAs. With a tax-deferred savings plan, you are not taxed on money that you contribute to a plan today, but you do pay tax on the money when you eventually decide to withdraw it. These plans offer tax advantages if you think you will be in a lower tax bracket upon retirement than you are in today.
(You may have also heard of Roth 401(k) plans and Roth IRAs. In these retirement savings plans, you pay tax on your contributions now, and no tax on your withdrawals in the future. Since this article is looking at ways to save money and reduce taxes now, I'll save those plans for a future blog post.)
A traditional 401(k) is one of the best-known types of retirement plans. In a 401(k), an employee or self-employed person puts part of his wages into a tax-deferred retirement account, the traditional 401(k) plan. The individual is not taxed on those wages when they are contributed to the 401(k) plan. However, when the individual starts withdraw money (called distributions), he then pays taxes on the distributions. You can start to take distributions when you are 59.5 years old, and must begin taking distributions by April 1 of the year after you retire or April 1 of the year after you turn 70.5, whichever is later.
In 2010, you can contribute up to $16,500 to a 401(k) plan, and your employer may choose to also make a contribution into your account, up to a combined total of $49,000. If you are 50 or older, you can make an additional "catch-up" contribution of $5,500. Self-employed individuals can also open what is known as a Self-Employed 401(k) with these same contribution limits. (If you are what is known as a highly compensated employee, your contribution limit may be less.)
An individual retirement account, also known as an IRA, also offers individuals the ability to make tax-deferred contributions into a retirement savings account. The amount you contribute to an IRA is subtracted from your total income, thus reducing your federal income tax. You pay tax on the money as you withdraw it. Like a 401(k), you can withdraw money penalty-free starting when you are 59.5 years old, and must begin taking distributions by April 1 of the year after you turn 70.5.
Regardless of whether you have a 401(k) or IRA, you cannot contribute more to the account than your taxable income.
There are a couple of differences between a 401(k) and an IRA. A 401(k) is typically set up by your employer, whereas you are responsible for setting up an IRA. (Most banks and brokerage firms can quickly and easily set up an IRA for you.) IRAs also have lower contribution limits than 401(k) plans. In 2010 you can deposit up to $5,000 into your IRA, or $6,000 if you are 50 or older. If you are covered by a retirement plan at work or if you have a high income, you may not be able to deduct your entire contribution on your tax return.
One advantage of an IRA: You can make your contributions for the prior year up until April 15. So if you haven't yet made a 2009 IRA contribution and you want to reduce your 2009 federal tax bills, you're not too late.

Somewhere, in a parallel universe, Arsene Wenger looks happy. The time is still March 2013, the place is still north London. But we are in a different light-cone of existence and causality, in which Arsenal are licking along nicely at the top of the Premier League, defending their title of champions of England.
They have just breezed past an improving but apparently over-hyped Tottenham side, cruising through the north London derby 3-1 and appearing to take their feet off the gas in the final half-hour of the match — no doubt a sign that the team already have their minds on their Champions League match against Bayern Munich next Wednesday: a tie in which they hold a 2-0 lead from the first leg at 'Fortress' Emirates.
Wenger's squad are the envy of the country. Long-standing club servants such as Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Robin van Persie have been amply rewarded for years at the club under the generous new wage structure sanctioned by the club's chairman, Alisher Usmanov.
The board's commitment to marquee signings as well as the acquisition of promising youngsters has gifted Wenger some of the brightest stars in Europe: Van Persie shares his goalscoring duties with Radamel Falcao; the midfield creativity of Lucas Moura and Willian bring back memories of Robert Pires and Marc Overmars at their best. If Yaya Toure is Arsenal's new Patrick Vieira, then Thiago Silva is their new Tony Adams.
All of this talent, marshalled by the man acknowledged as the shrewdest coach in the game: it is no wonder that when Sir Alex Ferguson retired at the end of the 2009/10 season, following Arsenal's League and FA Cup Double, he paid tribute to Wenger as the one manager he had never entirely put in his box.
Small wonder, then, that Wenger is rarely seen without a playful smile on his face. It is commonly said that he looks a decade younger than his 63 years, a fact no one puts down solely to the rejuvenating friendships of les chanteuses Francaises.
And three, two, one: you're coming back to reality. I'm sorry, Gooners. There is no parallel universe. There is but one light cone. Thiago Silva plays for Paris St Germain. Spurs just won the north London derby 2-1 and poor old Arsene, his face lined and creased like a polar explorer's, does not smile in the dugout. In fact, he usually looks about as cheerful as a goth with an ice-cream headache.
Woe unto you, oh Gooners! They hardly played disastrously at White Hart Lane. But two ugly defensive errors committed in less time than it takes to microwave a Findus horsemeat lasagne allowed a fine and upbeat Spurs side to cha-cha-cha into a two-nil lead. Amid the white heat of a norf Landan derby, it was too much for Arsenal to recover.
There were passages in the match — whole stanzas of play, in fact — where Arsenal looked easily the more accomplished and confident side in possession. Yet as is becoming clear, possession alone doesn't always win matches. (Ask Barcelona.) Clinical finishing, organisation and pugnacity do, which is why Spurs won. Arsenal's flaws are becoming tiresome to rehearse but most of them were on display yesterday. No leadership in defence, no bite in midfield and no danger up front.
The loss, even if it is combined with the expected departure from the Champions League in Munich next week, is not going to be fatal to Wenger or anyone else. Fight like hell and top four is still in their reach. But the longer the slow deflation of this fine club continues, the more their fans will think of how different things could be. A parallel dimension? A happy Wenger? Why the hell not?

March 14th ŌĆō April 18th 5pm Eastern Time
Do you have a patient who is stuck in a rut and struggling desperately to get out?Or perhaps youŌĆÖre working with someone who doesnŌĆÖt really believe that change is possible . . . at least not in their life. Or maybe youŌĆÖve been working on the same issues for so long that youŌĆÖre both feeling worn out and losing hope that your interventions will really make a difference. For many of us, this scenario is all too familiar.
But this doesnŌĆÖt have to be the end of the story. . .Many practitioners have found that the latest breakthroughs in brain science can have a profound impact on frustrating situations like these. For decades, we were told that the brain was fixed at an early age, and that it deteriorated with age. Turns out, this was not true, but this myth fundamentally influenced the way we practiced. The latest findings are telling a completely different story, and itŌĆÖs good news. In the past few years, weŌĆÖve been discovering how the brain is plastic ŌĆō constantly learning, changing, and growing (or shrinking, depending on how we treat the brain). ThatŌĆÖs right ŌĆō we have the potential, not only to strengthen the brain, but even to grow and develop some of its most essential parts. But this kind of thing wonŌĆÖt happen on its own. Without specific interventions, the natural trajectory of the brain is decline. It doesnŌĆÖt have to be that way!
With skillful intervention, our patients can move toward the life theyŌĆÖve barely dared to dream of. In the hands of a skilled practitioner, the latest brain science can mean new hope for:
- kids with learning disabilities
- fighting couples cycling through the same arguments
- people struggling with depression
- returning veterans with PTSD
- patients working to break free from addiction
- aging clients who canŌĆÖt remember as well as they used to
- anyone who wants to stay sharp and healthy as they age
Brain science unlocks potential for all kinds of people - but only if we know how to use it.ThatŌĆÖs why weŌĆÖve created this 6-part webinar series to give you the latest, most up-to-date ways to use neuroplasticity in your work. YouŌĆÖll hear from the experts who are paving the way in our field. WhatŌĆÖs more, youŌĆÖll get concrete ways to implement what you hear immediately.
And If the Brain Can ChangeŌĆ"AnyoneŌĆÖs Life Can Change
HereŌĆÖs what practitioners said about last yearŌĆÖs Brain Science Series
ŌĆ£Thank you for another excellent reminder of the power we have to control our brain and our mindŌĆ"Thanks again for a wonderful series.ŌĆØ
Laurence Drell, MD
Washington, DC
ŌĆ£After taking part in this series I became much more adept at explaining neuroscience and its application in daily life to my patients. IŌĆÖve incorporated the information and many of the tools that were shared in the series into my individual and group process with patients. And the best part is that I often receive positive feedback from my patients about how they are using the information in their lives.
Linda Mickle, MSN
Ben Lomond, CA
ŌĆ£Another great seminar. So many topics resonated with me as I recalled instances in therapy where this greater understanding of brain plasticity and particularly mindfulness and the specific means of applying them came clear.ŌĆØ
Art Zambrano, PhD , Psychotherapist
South Dakota
The hippocampus is crucial for memory and making mental maps of our environment, but . . . a lot of things can hurt the hippocampus. It shrinks with:
- age
- stress
- depression
- trauma
Neuroplasticity can take your patients to new levels of emotional and physical health, even overcoming traumas that may have been haunting them for yearsWeŌĆÖve seen practitioners fall short of achieving their goals with patientsŌĆ" and weŌĆÖve also seen practitioners succeed. And the difference? Practitioners who succeed:
- continue to learn
- listen to experts at the forefront
- tune-in and update their skills on a regular basis
- build new skills and gain confidence
ŌĆ£I was very enthusiastic about this series so I ordered also all transcripts in order to be able to read the material again, reflect on it and integrate it better in my work! It helped me a lot to deepen my knowledge about the mind and the brain. I am positive that it helped me personally to improve my own brain-habits and also my patients! Many thanks!ŌĆØ
Ela Amarie, Mind/Body Intervention Coach
Zurich, Switzerland
ŌĆ£The Expert Speakers are truly leaders in their fields sharing their knowledge and practical experience in ways which creates a wonderful learning community. I find the learning experience and information invaluable to my work and personal life. Thank you!ŌĆØ
Cynthia Beanblossom, M.Ed., LPC
ŌĆ£This series of seminars was extremely informative and exciting. Each seminar provided an opportunity to learn about the topic from some of the leaders in the field. As always. Ruth did a wonderful job with her interviews and asked so many of the questions that we would all want to hear the answers. Being in Australia, It was extremely helpful being able to listen to the replays in my own time and to later have access to the written transcripts when I came across a situation in my practice where this knowledge was relevant. Thank you so much for a great series. I would recommend it to anyone who is wanting to understand more about how the brain works and how it changes. This knowledge is vital for anyone working with clients to help them make changes in their lives.ŌĆØ
Dawn Vincent, Social Work
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
ŌĆ£I will be using the information from the teleseminar to grow my private practice and to provide information to the public about the relationship between emotional disorders, addictions, nutrition and energy healing. I will also be using the information to write blogs and ebooks. The information was presented in an interesting and practical manner that communicated easy to understand ideas that could be easily implemented.ŌĆØ
Alan Simberg, PhD In Counseling Psychology, Marriage And Family Counselor
Houston, TX
What Your Colleagues Have FoundIf you havenŌĆÖt taken part in this global event before, you might be wondering what your peers and colleagues have found. Last year, practitioners told us again and again how participating in this series:
- Built their confidence in explaining to patients how the brain works
- Empowered them with new possibilities for healing
- Added credibility to methods ŌĆō it can be so helpful to reference experts when explaining a new or unfamiliar technique
- Motivated clients, helped convince them that change is possible, and even improved compliance!
- Helped strengthen relationships
- Equipped them with new tools for their practice (and helped to keep private practice from growing stale)
A Better Brain CanŌĆ"So many practitioners have told us what a difference it makes to be able to explain how the brain works to their clients. Just this one small step led to:
- Belief that change IS possible, even in the most stuck areas of their lives
- More motivated and empowered clients
- Better compliance and willingness to do homework
- New hope for healing
Many patients, especially men and teenagers, need to understand why certain interventions can work before they are convinced. In fact, they find the evidence compelling.
ŌĆ£This series has served to increase my skills and confidence in using and recommending mindfulness as a powerful means of healing and impacting brain plasticity. Having more of the science to back it up is so important to the work that I do and to the clients I serve. While It was sometimes difficult to make the calls, I always benefitted from making it a priority. I highly recommend purchasing the series to listen in your own time, and repeatedly as needed.ŌĆØ
Lucinda Taylor, MSW
Nelson, BC
ŌĆ£It helped me understand (and explain to clients in simple terms) what was happening when they were gripped by old pain and reacted irrationally. This understanding helped them to place things in perspective and to work constructively in the therapy towards healing.ŌĆØ
Michelle van Dusseldorp, Integrative Psychotherapy
The Netherlands
ŌĆ£I was moved to tears. This was a great call! Thank you both so much. I will use it to validate my work in whole brain integration using movement, relaxation and intention setting with young children.ŌĆØ
Diane Williams, Stress Management
Nanaimo, BC
ŌĆ£I was teaching a mindfulness class immediately after the broadcast that is part of a research project and I shared some of the information with the participants and it made for a very interesting class! Love to see the science supporting what many have known for so long.ŌĆØ

I'm always talking about how lame the health IT landscape is — and with good reason. But there is one domain in which advances have been consistent and amazing and clearly impactful to care: medical imaging. Our ability to look inside a body and see with incredible detail what's going on inside is just staggering.
Well, today there is no way I could be more over-the-top excited to say — medical imaging is now a core part of the HealthVault platform. We're talking full diagnostic quality DICOM images, with an integration that makes it immediately useful to consumers and their providers:
- A new release of HealthVault Connection Center that makes it super-easy to upload images from a CD or DVD , and enables users to burn new discs to share with providers — complete with a viewer and "autoplay" behavior that providers expect.
- Full platform support for HealthVault applications to store and retrieve images themselves, enabling seamless integration with radiology centers and clinical systems.
There are a ton of ways this capability is going to change the game for folks. A really simple example — last December when I crashed my scooter, it started me off on a long and winding path through the healthcare system. I had a ton of images taken: a CT scan of my head, multiple X-Rays, an ultrasound and an MRI of my knee. I visited no less than a dozen different providers during this episode, and at least half of them wanted to see my images (and keep them for their charts). Just making sure I had enough copies was a big challenge. Now they're all in HealthVault. Woo hoo!
But more interesting was that they found a weird piece of bone floating behind my knee. They didn't think it was part of the accident, and they didn't think it would be a problem — but really they had no idea. Had this been there all along? Was it changing? Who knows — so they just assumed it was all good, and probably it is. I hope.
But now that my images are in HealthVault — next time I will not have to "hope." Together with my doctor, we'll be able to look at my past image, compare it with a current one, and see if there is an issue without having to guess. THIS is better care, folks. Forget about my little knee issue, I have a good friend here at work that has to get an MRI every couple of months to see if the tumor in his head is changing. For this — I want a safe and permanent record, thank you very much.
OK — so a better way to manage CDs and DVDs is really cool. But this feature is WAY more than that — because the image data type is available to any HealthVault application. This means that institutions can collect images as part of the preregistration or referral process — and have them ready to go in their own PACS or charts when you show up. Getting a second, third, fourth opinion now becomes easy and cost effective. Imaging centers can automatically send your images to your personal health record rather than forcing you to hoof the discs around yourself. And on, and on. We already have partners like lifeIMAGE working with the image type, and many more to come.
How can we offer this service? Thanks to the cloud! We're using Windows Azure Storage as a cost-effective and fully-redundant store for the image data. Azure is totally awesome, and really changes the cost of running services like HealthVault.
Of course, we have to ensure that we keep the data secure and private as well — we do this with a really cool piece of code that creates unique encryption keys for every image, stores those keys in our core HealthVault data center, and only sends encrypted, chunked data to Azure. This effectively lets us use Azure as an infinitely-sized disk — warms this geek's heart to see it all come together.
So what are you waiting for? Start uploading your images and know you'll have them ready to go the next time you need them. Don't have your discs? Virtually any imaging center or hospital can send you copies — just give them a call (or if you happen to go to the University of Washington Medical Center like I did, just send an email to email@example.com with your visit information).
Naysayers beware — we are steadily changing this industry. Come join us, it's a lot of fun over here!

Revising Zigzag
When I was a new writer, I read that Beverly Cleary loved to revise. I pictured her sitting on her couch, a yellow pencil with sharpened point in her hand, putting the last perfect touches on one of the Ramona books. I despaired of ever knowing how to revise, or what to revise.
So here I am, years and books later, loving the revision stage, too. I wish I were as good at it as Beverly Cleary!
First, the esthetics. I clean my office. I don't mean dusting. I mean getting rid of the papers that drift across my desk, the table, the chairs, and I have to confess, even the floor.
When the room is blank, as my granddaughter calls it, I can concentrate on the revision. And yesterday I was revising the sixth ZIGZAG AFTERNOON series book.
The theme of the book is creativity. The word is difficult for young readers but I've surrounded it, I hope, with enough context clues so they'll understand.
I made a list of each character, and almost every one of them has to do something creative, even if I don't point it out to the reader. Because the book belongs to Destiny and her friend, Charlie, they'll be the most creative. Gina, the opera singer, won't like that, so I'll have to give her something to be proud of, too.
I read each page slowly. I strengthen the verbs and delete as many adjectives as I can. Because this is a book for young readers, I have to be sure that the sentences are short and most of the vocabulary easy.
After all this time, it still isn't enough to read my work on the computer. I print out each page…revise…print out…and so my office ends up in its previous condition with a sea of papers. I don't feel too guilty; if Jim comes by, he'll gather them up and use them for all kinds of lists.
Nice. They don't have to be revised!

Dear Mrs. Reilly Giff,
We are fifth and sixth grade students at Dana Middle School. Every student at our school gets to take an elective for one period of our day. Our elective class called Book O'Rama, is for students who love to read.
Our librarian, Ms. Forster, recommended your book, Eleven, and we read it together as a class. We couldn't put the book down. We were disappointed when the bell rang and we had to stop reading. Our class wondered how the story would have been different if Sam could have read throughout the entire book. Mack was one of our favorite characters because he kept the mystery going. The fact that the evidence leading to Sam's history was in the attic, a difficult place to reach without being caught, made the story more suspenseful.
Our class was inspired by your writing and now we are independently reading more of your titles, including Nory Ryan's Song, Pictures of Hollis Woods, Lily's Crossing, and A House of Tailors. We had a quick look at your website last week and are looking forward to talking to you and commenting on your blog.
Your readers,
Bonnie Elias and Class

Evangeline Lilly Talks Fame & "The Hobbit" in Dujour January 2014
She recently finished production of the final installment of "The Hobbit," and now Evangeline Lilly shares her thoughts about being a non-tradition Tolkien character in the January 2014 issue of DuJour magazine.
The 34-year-old actress rocked a few poses for the publication's spread while opening up about her life since making it big on the hit ABC series "Lost," and her reaction to the harsh criticism of her role in "The Lord of the Rings" prequel.
Highlights from Miss Lilly's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit DuJour!
On her acting days before "Lost":
"When I got the job on 'Lost,' I was a broke university student living in the crappiest part of town, with a duct-taped back window on a broken-down car. I existed on peanut butter and tea. When somebody said, 'I will pay you a lot of money to come and do this,' it was worth it to make the sacrifice for a certain amount of time in order to have flexibility that comes from having more financial freedom."
On her life since becoming famous:
"Once I became a public figure, that ended. Men stopped talking to me. Because they think, 'Why would she want to date me?' But the irony of it is, that's exactly why you'd want to date them - everyone needs something to ground them in their life, and often for public figures, that's their partner."
On playing Tauriel:
"There are a lot of forums online where fans are furious. They're venting that anger and expressing themselves, and I just feel like, more power to you - get out there and express your opinions... I've had people who have seen the film who have daughters thank me for being part of it, because otherwise their daughters would have had hours of cinema without a single female character onscreen. In 2013, that's unacceptable."

There are days when I wish that the Woesian Three Domain scheme were wrong. Not that I would be happier if there were four or five or whatever number of domains. What would please me would be an escape from what I feel is an unnecessarily oppressive way of thinking, the seating of phylogeny (and its acolyte, genomics) alone at the head of the table. Why do I say this? Because as essential as phylogeny is to our understanding of the evolution of living organisms, equally vital is ecology to comprehend present day life. While it's good to know where you come from, it's equally important to know where you are and what you're doing there. The Spanish philosopher Ortega y Gasset said it well: Yo soy yo y mi circunstancia (I am I and my circumstance).
