Colgan Car Bras
> Colgan Car Mirror Bra
Colgan Car Mirror Bra
Protect your mirrors from rocks chips and bug splatter!
Colgan Car Mirror Bras protect the two spots on your car that are among the most vulnerable to rock chips, bug splatter, and other airborne contaminants—your side mirrors. These custom-fit car mirror bras from the original car bra manufacturer will provide years of protection to your pride and joy. Colgan Car Mirror Bras offer the best protection you can get from a vinyl car mask. With over 50 years of innovation behind them, Colgan Car Mirror Bras are the only car mirror protection you need!
Cruising down the highway with the wind in your hair may be fun for you, but over time, your paint will pay the ultimate price. At high speeds, tiny pebbles and sand act like missiles assaulting your paint and leaving an ugly mess behind. And do we have to mention bug guts? When it comes time to sell or trade in your vehicle, that speckled paint job is not going to help you get a fair value. Your mirrors jut out from the side of your car and take the brunt of abuse from outside contaminants. Colgan Car Mirror Bras take the guess work out of protecting your vehicle's side mirrors.
Colgan Car Mirror Bras are designed to hug your vehicle's curves, protect the paint beneath them, and allow full function of all factory components.
Colgan Car Mirror Bras are composed of flannel-backed, double-stitched, 25 ounce vinyl with a UV resistant topcoat—you simply cannot find that kind of durability anywhere else. The soft flannel backing ensures that paint remains scratch-free at all contact points. The bras are double padded where they needs it most to prevent wear-through and further protect the finish. The S hooks used to secure the Colgan Car Mirror Bras to the vehicle are coated with vinyl to inhibit scratching. These easy-to-install car mirror bras do not require tools or drilling, in fact, everything you need is attached to the bra itself. The custom-fit design allows for the full function of signal lights with the bras in place.
Colgan Car Mirror Bras protect your vehicle's most vulnerable points while improving its look and style.
Features and Benefits:
25 ounce Haartz vinyl with UV resistant top coat
Soft flannel backing prevents scratching
Double padding at critical points to prevent wear-through
Double stitched for maximum durability and classy detail
Easy to install—no loose parts, no tools, no drilling, no Velcro
Custom-fit design allows full function of hood, headlights, and headlight wipers
3 year limited warranty
Made in the USA
Colgan Car Bras are available in two color options:
Custom car bras ship directly from the manufacturer via ground service. Due to manufacturer delays, please allow 4-5 weeks for delivery. Expedited and international shipping are not available.

Some good news and some unfortunate news out of Mets land this weekend. The good news? The Mets will be having a Fireworks Night on July 3 against the Phillies. That still leaves them one shy of Philadelphia, but some fireworks are obviously better than no fireworks. The team will also be hosting some postgame concerts. REO Speedwagon was mentioned, which was apparently a band and not a car. Ah, what things we learn on life's journey!
On the negative side, David Wright is out indefinitely with a strained ribcage, Scott Hairston re-injured the oblique strain that ended his 2011, Reese Havens is suffering from a stiff back, and Ike Davis has Valley Fever, which is totally not a big deal, according to the Mets, but then again, so was his ankle injury last year, the one that ended his season.
On balance, a good or bad weekend? Depends on how much you like REO Speedwagon. But you'd really have to like them to call it a win.
Tomorrow: Actual baseball on TV!

A warrior came to the Zen master Hakuin and asked, "Is there such a thing as heaven and hell?" Hakuin said, "Who are you?"The warrior replied, "I am chief samurai to the emperor." Hakuin said, "You, a samurai? With a face like that, you look more like a beggar."At this the warrior became so angry he drew his sword. Standing calmly in front of him Hakuin said, "Here open the gates of hell."Perceiving the master's composure, the soldier sheathed his sword and bowed.Hakuin then said, "And here open the gates of heaven."
Heaven and hell are not geographical. If you go in search of them you will never find them anywhere, because they are within you, they are psychological. Mind is heaven, and mind is hell, and mind is the capacity to become either. But people go on thinking everything is somewhere outside. We always go on looking for everything outside because to be inwards is very difficult. We are outgoing. If somebody says there is a God, we look at the sky. Somewhere, sitting there, will be the divine person.
One psychologist working in a school in America asked small children about God, what they think about God. Children have clearer perception: they are less cunning, more true. They are more representative of the human mind, they are unperverted. So he asked the children and the answers were collected. The conclusion was very ridiculous. In conclusion almost all the children depicted God something like this: God is an old man, very tall, bearded and very dangerous. He creates fear. If you don't follow him he will throw you into hell; if you pray and follow him he will give you paradise and all the pleasures. He is sitting on a throne in the sky and watching everybody. You cannot escape him; even in your bathroom he is looking.
The outgoing mind projects everything outside. This is your God. Don't laugh, don't think this is a child's conception - no, this is you. This is how you think about God - as a cosmic spy, always searching to condemn, to throw you into hell, to punish, and very ferocious, revengeful. That's why all religions are based on fear: if you do this you will be appreciated, rewarded; if you don't do this you will be punished. But the base seems to be fear, and God seems to be just a very powerful emperor sitting on a throne in heaven. The whole concept is foolish but human. Human mind is foolish. The whole concept is anthropocentric.
In The Bible it is said God created man in his own image. The reality seems to be quite otherwise: man created God in his own image. We have projected God in our own image; it is a blow-up of the human mind - a bigger human mind, that's all. Remember, if you think God is somewhere outside you, then you have not even taken the first step towards being religious.
The same happens with all the concepts: heaven is without, hell is without, as if there exists nothing like the within. What is within you? The moment you think of the within it seems that everything goes empty. What is within? The world is without, sex is without, sin is without, virtue is without. God, heaven, hell - everything is without. What is within you? Who are you? The moment you think of the within the mind goes blank, there is nothing.

ICD-10 Diagnosis Code S42.0
Fracture of clavicle
Diagnosis Code S42.0
Short Description: Fracture of clavicle
Long Description: Fracture of clavicle
This is the 2017 version of the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code S42.0
Not Valid for Submission
The code S42.0 is a "header" and not valid for submission for HIPAA-covered transactions.
Code Classification
Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00–T98)
Injuries to the shoulder and upper arm (S40-S49)
- Fracture of shoulder and upper arm (S42)
- Injuries to the shoulder and upper arm (S40-S49)
Information for Patients
Also called: Broken bone
A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.
Symptoms of a fracture are
- Intense pain
- Deformity - the limb looks out of place
- Swelling, bruising, or tenderness around the injury
- Numbness and tingling
- Problems moving a limb
You need to get medical care right away for any fracture. An x-ray can tell if your bone is broken. You may need to wear a cast or splint. Sometimes you need surgery to put in plates, pins or screws to keep the bone in place.

Shoulder Injuries and Disorders
Your shoulder joint is composed of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone). Your shoulders are the most movable joints in your body. They can also be unstable because the ball of the upper arm is larger than the shoulder socket that holds it. To remain in a stable or normal position, the shoulder must be anchored by muscles, tendons and ligaments. Because the shoulder can be unstable, it is the site of many common problems. They include sprains, strains, dislocations, separations, tendinitis, bursitis, torn rotator cuffs, frozen shoulder, fractures and arthritis.
Usually shoulder problems are treated with RICE. This stands for Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Other treatments include exercise, medicines to reduce pain and swelling, and surgery if other treatments don't work.

Make an appointment with your family doctor or a general practitioner if you have signs and symptoms of a urinary tract infection. If your doctor suspects your infection has spread to your kidneys, you may be referred to a doctor who treats conditions that affect the urinary tract (urologist).
Because appointments can be brief and there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well-prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
For kidney infection, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:

Effective corporate counsel has never been more important than it is now. Arizona Business Magazine is recognizing the important and vital role that in-house counsel plays in the success of a business with the Arizona Corporate Counsel Awards, ACC Awards 2012. The 27 finalists and winners were honored Thursday, January 12 during a ceremony and dinner at the Ritz Carlton Phoenix. Here are the finalists in alphabetical order, N through T.
ACC Awards 2012 Finalists, N through T:
Dennis Naughton
General counsel
Danny's Family Companies
Naughton accepted the position of general counsel with Danny's Family Companies just as the nation was beginning to understand the extent of the economic destruction resulting from the great recession. It soon became apparent that the company would need to restructure if it was to survive. Naughton masterfully navigated the company through the perilous and complex legal waters of a Chapter 11 corporate restructuring. The company's continued success and emergence from Chapter 11 is due in part to Naughton's insight and legal leadership. He is a native of Arizona and graduate of Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix.
ON Semiconductor
In-house legal department
On Jan. 1, 2011, the acquisition of SANYO Semiconductor increased the ON law department from 29 to 47 legal professional. Still, the law department remains the smallest department in the company and consistently benchmarks favorably for cost expenditures for similarly situated in-house law departments. In recognition of the law department's significant role in closing the SANYO deal, the M&A Advisor awarded the deal with the Major Transaction of the Year award for mergers and acquisitions from $500 million to $1 billion. On a personal note, department members participate in a wide variety of community service projects — from youth programs to animal rescue.
Karen Paul
General counsel
MD Helicopters
According to David Kash, a partner at Ryley Carlock & Applewhite in Phoenix, Paul did a "great job for a company in an economy under very trying times." Paul's great work paid off in 2011 as MD Helicopters was awarded a $186 million contract by the Army to build rotorcraft for training exercises in Afghanistan. Among her duties:
* Contract negotiation and drafting — national, international, sales, distribution, procurement, U.S. government, complex commercial and intellectual property licensing, ownership, transfers and development.
* Regulatory compliance.
* Intellectual property and contracts portfolio and systems development and management.
Jessica M. Pena
General counsel
Tekco Management Group, LLC
In three years at Tekco, Pena has fundamentally reinvented the company's approach to enforcing its intellectual property rights. Pena's innovative use of unfair competition claims in conjunction with copyright enforcement is just one example of her ability to find new ways to tackle old, entrenched problems. Additionally, Pena's innovative approach to intellectual property rights enforcement ignited a renewed effort against online copyright infringement in the adult entertainment industry. Due to her innovative and successful approach to stopping online copyright infringement in her industry, Pena was invited to organize and moderate a panel at the 23rd North American Entertainment, Sports & Intellectual Property Law Conference.
Amy Rasor
Deputy general counsel
American Traffic Solutions
Colleagues say Rasor has what it takes to create and maintain a well-oiled legal team as an in-house counsel. Some of her accomplishments include:
* Leading the legal aspects of two company acquisitions and countless lawsuits.
* After joining the legal team at ATS as the first associate general counsel, she was promoted to deputy general counsel the following year. She works with two other attorneys and two paralegals.
* Colleagues say Rasor is unequalled in her ability to foresee potential legal issues and head the off before they become a real problem for the company.
Michael Reagan
Executive vice president and general counsel
Kahala Corp
Reagan has been Kahala's general counsel since January 2000. From 1993 to 1995, he served as a senior accountant with Deloitte & Touche in Phoenix in its audit division. He is currently a licensed attorney, as well as a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA), in the state of Arizona. Reagan holds a B.S. in accounting from the University of Arizona and a J.D. from Arizona State University. In Reagan's 12 years at Kahala, the company has grown from a handful of employees to more than 250, from one brand to 14 brands, and the legal department has grown from one lawyer to six lawyers and 10 paralegals.
Mark Rodgers
Associate general counsel
Insight Enterprises, Inc.
Rogers' responsibilities include corporate governance work, SEC reporting, mergers and acquisitions, financing, design and implementation of compliance programs, internal investigations, negotiation of contracts and litigation and labor and employment management. He sits on Insight's Disclosure Committee and currently chairs the Investment Committees for the company's 401(k) and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation plans. Rogers was named a "Super Lawyer" in the 2007 Southwest Edition of Law & Politics Magazine and was the only in-house counsel named as a Super Lawyer in the edition. He is admired by colleagues for his great judgment, a key asset to outside counsel when analyzing facts and the law to develop strategies.
Cindy Sehr
Senior counsel
Catholic Healthcare West (Chandler Regional Medical Center)
Sehr has 25 years of experience as an attorney and 20 of those years have been devoted to healthcare law. Working in the healthcare field, there are many components that a legal department has to take into consideration to abide by regulations set by the state and federal governments. Sehr has made those regulations easier for everyone on the CHW staff to understand. Through Sehr's leadership and expertise, the medical centers have been able to navigate and overcome hurdles with a strong sense of support, guidance and leadership toward the correct and proactive steps that need to be made.
Thomas F. Tollison
Senior assistant general counsel — marketing group
U-Haul International, Inc.
Colleagues say Tollison is an inspiration to those around him. "He inspires us to work hard and improve our craft," said Isaac P. Hernandez, an associate at Ballard Spahr. "He inspires us to be leaders and to be involved with our communities. He reminds us to take a moment to smell the roses and enjoy life." Among Tollison's professional accomplishments is the negotiation of a multi-million-dollar asset/stock purchase of a telecommunications company, as well as providing lead counsel to the largest division on U-Haul — its marketing group.

Denise - from Bronx, NY
The easiest way to move cake layers is to use a cake lifter – a large metal surface with handle that slides under the cake layer; you lift it, place over your cake and slide the layer off the lifter onto the bottom layer. If you don't have a cake lifter, a cake circle or board makes a good substitute. Use it the same way you use the cake lifter.

Play & Learn with Fisher-Price!
Play is the way children learn best.
From seeing a baby's delight when grasping a toy for the first time, to helping a toddler reach new milestones, to watching the wonder of a preschooler's imagination, it's easy to see how significant play is for a child's development. Understanding that importance and how hands-on play builds a child's skills was the spark that gave us our start more than 80 years ago, and it continues to be our guiding light as we work to enrich the lives of young families around the world.
With your child's development in mind.
How do we know how children learn best? We study how they develop, how they grow. And we listen to the experts: mums and dads. We design all of this learning into our babygear and toys. So the little moments of play you enjoy every day lead up to the big milestones you'll celebrate along the way as we help you give your child the best possible start, and help you succeed at what we believe is the most important job in the world: nurturing your child's development.

Applying To McCombs ·
Admissions Process
The Texas Evening MBA Admissions Committee dedicates itself to a meticulous, holistic review of each application. Our ultimate objective is to get a firm sense of each applicant as a person in order to determine if you are a good fit for McCombs - and to be sure that McCombs is a good fit for you. Review the detailed steps below for information about the MBA admissions process.
Get your UT EID. A UT EID is an electronic identifier that lets prospective and current students connect to their university information. Your EID offers access to legally protected information and is permanent. You will use it throughout the application and enrollment process to access information and complete tasks online.
If you have already created one, you can also look up your UT EID. You will have a UT EID on file if you have done any of the following:
• Made UT Austin the recipient of your official test scores (i.e. GMAT/GRE/TOEFL/IELTS)
• Previously applied to UT Austin
• Previously studied at UT Austin
• Previously created a prospect profile with UT Austin
Official test scores must be submitted directly to the University of Texas at Austin and self-reported in the online Texas MBA application. McCombs requires either the GRE or the GMAT, and for international applicants, the TOEFL or IELTS. U.S. permanent residents are not required to submit a TOEFL or IELTS score. Note: There are no GRE or GMAT test waivers offered for the Texas Evening MBA program. For information on TOEFL or IELTS waivers, please see below.
Submit official test scores to UT Austin using the following score codes:
• IELTS: Scores are sent by hard-copy mail upon your request to The University of Texas at Austin - Graduate and International Admission Center (GIAC), P.O. Box 7608, Austin, TX 78713-7608
• PTE: Not accepted at McCombs
The date your official scores are sent to UT Austin should be no later than your application round deadline. GMAT and GRE test scores expire five years from the test date and TOEFL test scores expire two years from the test date.
When preparing to study for the GMAT exam, we highly recommend that you download GMATPrep® software, a free study tool with real GMAT questions and two full-length GMAT exams. It is a perfect start for gauging your readiness for the exam and acclimating to the computer adaptive format. To learn more and register to take the GMAT exam, visit GMAT.com
Test Retakes
It is recommended that you submit your application only after you are satisfied with your test scores. However, if you retake any exam and wish to have your new score included with your application, please email the Texas Evening MBA program with your new score report.
Official test scores are kept for one calendar year. If you have submitted an application beyond one year in the past, you may be required to re-submit certain credentials.
TOEFL or IELTS Waivers
The TOEFL and IELTS pertain only to international applicants who have submitted applications; U.S. citizens and permanent residents do not need to submit a TOEFL or IELTS score. A waiver of the TOEFL or IELTS is automatically granted (no request needed) if you are an international applicant and have earned an undergraduate degree in a country where the official language is English (not just an English-speaking institution or a country where English is spoken).
In order to request a TOEFL or IELTS waiver you must submit a Texas MBA application and meet one of the following conditions:
• You have lived and worked fulltime in the U.S. or in a country where English is the official language for at least two of the past four years.
• You hold a master's degree from a college or university located in the U.S. or from a country where English is the official language.
• You were educated solely in English for your undergraduate and/or prior graduate degree.
If you do not meet any of these conditions, you are required to submit the TOEFL or IELTS exam. If you meet the conditions above, please check the appropriate box requesting the waiver in the test score section of your application.
You will be asked to upload your official transcripts twice during the application process: the first time will be to McCombs in the Education History Section of the online application and the second time will be to UT - GIAC after submitting your application and paying the fee. It is critical that you have blocked out social security numbers on these documents before uploading.
If documents are written in a language other than English, complete and official English translations must be sent together with the original language records.
Each transcript (mark sheet) should contain a complete record of studies at the institution from which it is issued, including the subjects taken and grades (marks) earned in each subject.
We require one professional recommendation, preferably from a person who has supervised your work and/or has assessed your performance during your career. An email to your recommender will be launched as soon as you save this section of the application. The email message to your recommender provides a link to the online recommendation form that is preferred by the admissions committee and linked directly to your application.
If your recommender does not receive the email, please ask them to check their spam or junk email box. You can monitor the status of your recommendation during and after submitting your application and you can resend notifications if necessary.

University of South Carolina
Welcome Week Events — Media Opportunities
Welcome Week at the University of South Carolina offers many visual and story opportunities for broadcast and print media to capture the excitement of students moving into residence halls and preparing for classes. Below are some of the best opportunities for media. To coordinate coverage and interviews, call Peggy Binette or Margaret Lamb in the Office of Media Relations at 803-777-5400.
Saturday, Aug. 15 — Move in!
Capture the fun as more than 7,375 students move to campus, a task equivalent to relocating a town the population of Camden, Fountain Inn or Hartsville. Best visual opportunities are in the morning from 9 a.m. - noon at Honors Residence (S. Main), Capstone House (Barnwell Street) or Patterson (South Bull Street). University President Harris Pastides and his wife, Patricia, will help students move into the new Honors Residence from 10 a.m. – noon. The Russell House University Union will be teeming with students picking up their pre-packaged text books and parents visiting the Parents Program tent.
Saturday, Aug. 15 — First Night Carolina
Students will board 26 buses at 8 p.m. in front of the Russell House University Union and head to Williams-Brice Stadium to celebrate the start of the academic year with an old-fashioned pep rally. The fun runs from 9 p.m. midnight. Like Gamecock football players, students will have the thrill of running through the fog-filled tunnels into the stadium while "2001" plays. Meredith Ross, student-body president and Dr. Larry Durstine, chairman of the department of exercise science, will welcome the students. Special guests this year will be head football coach Steve Spurrier and the men's and women's soccer coaches. Rounding out the fun will be cheerleaders, Cocky, a fireworks show and a party with music and food.
Sunday, Aug. 16 — Convocation
President and Mrs. Pastides will welcome students and their families at the 2009 Convocation, which will take place from 4 - 5 p.m. in the Carolina Coliseum. With the fun of First Night behind them, students will come together with their parents, faculty and staff to mark a new beginning and learn about the Carolinian Creed and the expectations for their success as students. The program also will feature remarks by Meredith Ross, student-body president; Dr. Michael Amiridis, provost; and Dr. Dennis Pruitt, vice president for student affairs, vice provost for academic support and dean of students.
Monday, Aug. 17 — First-Year Reading Experience
This summer, the university's incoming freshmen read the graphic novel, "The Complete Persepolis," by Marjane Satrapi. Students will gather at the Carolina Coliseum at 8:30 a.m. to hear Dr. Qiana Whitted, assistant English professor, and Dr. Waleed El-Ansary, assistant professor of religious studies, who will discuss the graphic novel genre and the book's setting in Iran. After the talks, students will break into groups of 20 to discuss the book with faculty and staff leaders. The event concludes at noon. In its 16th year, the First-Year Reading Experience provides all freshmen with a common academic experience that they can share and discuss.
Monday, Aug. 17 — TRANSFERmation!
Carolina welcomes students who have transferred to the university from 1 -2 p.m. in Russell House Room 202. Sponsored by the Student Success Center, transfer students are invited to meet one another, learn about programs that will help them make a successful transition and discover the "ins and outs" of Carolina.
Tuesday, Aug. 18 – Friday, Aug. 21 — The Library – check it out!
Students are invited to find out why Thomas Cooper Library has become THE spot on campus to gather with classmates, and it's not just for the latte and ear plugs. Tours will take place at 11 a.m.

All freshman students are invited to Patterson Patio Café for food, fellowship, music and prizes with Cocky. The fun runs from 11:30 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Tuesday, Aug. 18 – Wednesday, Aug. 19 — What's the Big Deal About Sweet Tea?
Back by popular demand, this event gives new out-of-state students a primer on the South, Southern culture and all the tips, resources and information they, like all students, need to be successful socially and academically. Students learn about programs specially designed for out-of-state students, and, as an added bonus, they will get to taste favorite Southern foods. It all takes place from 2 -3 p.m. in Russell House University Union, Room 315.
Wednesday, Aug. 19– Opportunity Knocks Part-time Job Fair
The job market is tough, but Carolina students can get tips and learn about part-time job opportunities from at the Opportunity Knocks Part-time Job Fair from noon – 3 p.m. in the Russell House University Union Ballroom.
Wednesday, Aug. 19– Cool Off Carolina!
Students are invited to beat the heat by cooling off at this fun annual event hosted by the Carolina Alumni Association. It all takes place poolside from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Strom Thurmond Wellness and Fitness Center. Cool Off Carolina! It is a hit not only for the food, music and prizes but a good introduction to the alumni association.
Wednesday, Aug. 20 – Ghost Tour on the Horseshoe
University Ambassadors, student stewards of the university's rich history, including its haunted past, will tell campus ghost stories during a walking tour from 9 – 10:30 p.m. It all begins at the Visitor Center in McKissick Museum.
Thursday, Aug. 21 — Classes begin!
With suitcases unpacked and backpacks packed, Carolina students head to class.
Thursday, Aug. 21 — Merchant Fair
The return of students to campus means business for local merchants. Local businesses and companies will introduce students to their products and services at the Merchant Fair from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Greene Street in front of the Russell House University Union.

I'd be more worried about the health implications of fighting in an all out competition ( as opposed to sparring) on two to three consecutive days than anything else.
I'd be more worried about the health implications of fighting in an all out competition ( as opposed to sparring) on two to three consecutive days than anything else.
Any opinions I express on this forum are entirely personal opinions and it should not be assumed that they reflect the official view of any organisations I am connected with
To be fair I do actually bail out promoters alot of the time. There has been times where after having 5 fights in 3 weeks I have fought.......hmm could do with a day/weekend off.........but then the phone rings and a nice promoter asks if i can take a fight at 84kg lol........GO ON THEN, SEEN AS ITS YOU i say hahaha
I wouldn't say I make "alot" of money but the reason I make "as much" as I do is based on the fact I often fight more than once in a weekend.
In all honesty the issue isn't/shouldn't be because I fought twice in a weekend. Booking more than 1 fight in a 2 week period or even a month is wrong! The problem is that it just so happens I had to pull out due to injury (something that doesn't usually happen). It wasnt just Pete that was effected, so was the promoter and for that I am sorry.....however I also was without a wage.
But like I said, I will make sure that doesn't happen again. Whether that's because I don't book 2 in a weekend or I get injured one night and fight the following night with a leg missing lol..........The show will go on!!!!!

And like I said in my first post, I was actually still going to fight Pete with the injury. However the promoter needed to know on the spot whilst I was in hospital as Pete was traveling from London, so we had to make the call and it was decided it was best to pull it!
I fight with injuries most of the time lol, its just sods law this has seemed to cause a stir here

Hello Janine,
Funny how some are using your blog for advertising. Last places I would visit--how presumptuous!

Drinking in teenage years linked to memory problems and other health issues in later life.
- Binge drinking during teenage years could lead to thinning of certain areas of the brain causing problems with memory and other serious health implications later in life suggests a study.
- As per a recent study conducted by the oregon state university in the us, binge drinking is linked to shrinking of certain areas of the brain that are associated with memory, attention and language in teenagers. This, in turn, could lead to increased risk of developing alcohol use disorder later on in life.
- The researchers studied six parameters to determine the hazardous impact of heavy drinking on the brain in early years. These include response inhibition, working memory, verbal learning and memory, decision making and reward processing, alcohol cue reactivity, and socio-cognitive/socio-emotional processing,
- Teenage is a period where the brain is still undergoing biological and psychological behaviour development.
- Considering the fact that more and more teenagers are involved in binge drinking and heavy drinking, understanding the effects of consuming large quantities of alcohol on neural development and the impact on cognitive skills is very important.
- Binge or heavy episodic drinking is defined as four or more standard drinks within a two-hour drinking session for females and five or more drinks for males.
- As per the study, binge drinking among young people is associated with a thinning or reduction of areas of the brain that are known to play a key role in memory, attention, language, awareness and consciousness.
- This type of brain alteration in young life could lead to increased risk of alcohol use disorder in later years of life.

Know how Homeopathy helps to manage Childhood diseases
During the first few years of life, it's vital to meet nutritional needs in order to ensure proper growth and also to establish a lifelong habit of healthy eating.
Eating a meal should be both a healthy and enjoyable occasion- a fact that many parents overlook when planning a meal for their growing children. Instead of a fast meal (especially one short in nutritional value) that family members eat at different hours, mealtimes should promote family togetherness whenever possible. If mealtime is a pleasant event, children may practice healthful eating habits in later life.
- Do set a good example for your child to copy. Share mealtimes and eat the same healthy food.
- Do discourage snacking on sweets and fatty food. Keep plenty of healthy foods, such as fruits, raw vegetables, low-fat crackers, and yogurt, around for children to eat between meals.
- Do allow children to follow their natural appetites when deciding how much to eat.
- Do encourage children to enjoy fruits and vegetables by giving them a variety from an early age.
- Don't give slim or 1-percent fat milk to children under the age of 5 unless your doctor prescribes it; at this stage, children need the extra calories in whole milk.
- Do ask children to help prepare meals. If parents rely mostly on convenience foods, children may not learn to enjoy cooking.
- Don't add unnecessary sugar to drinks and foods.
- Don't accustom children to extra salt by adding it to food placing the shaker on table.
- Doon't give whole nuts to children under the age of 5, who may choke on them. Peanut butter and chopped nuts are fine as long as the child is not allergic to them.
- Don't force children to eat more than they want.
- Don't use food as a bribe.
- Don't make children guilty about eating any type of food.
Toothpicks can be an alternative to use for flossing if dental floss is not available. Remember not to be too harsh while using it.

"Justin and I met up for drinks, and he was surprisingly normal – funny, cute, down to earth, and did I mention that he had amazing blue eyes? I was definitely pumped!"
It was just comfortable, and the laughter was non-stop. We connected on our similar values and goals, plus we had an oddly similar sense of humor and attitude about life. Fast forward to an amazing five years, living such a fun life with the best friend I could ever imagine. Justin started a company, we adopted a sweet puppy, and are currently planning our wedding. But "How did he propose," you ask?
Justin told me we were flying to Bloomfield Hills, Michigan (his hometown) to attend a fancy gala that was honoring his dad. (I had always joked with him that if the proposal day were to come, to PLEASE make sure I looked nice, so this was excellent planning on his part!)
After I was dressed and ready to go, his mom lured me into their beautiful backyard. Something seemed fishy. First I heard the music, then I saw my dad's head accidentally popping through the bushes. All of a sudden, there was my handsome and silly someone in a white tuxedo, red bow-tie, top hat and – of course – shiny shoes! He was riding on a white horse along a red carpet, with a mariachi band playing in the background! It was over-the-top, hilarious, and defined what I love about him.
I tiptoed to the chair Justin had so thoughtfully set out for me on the grass. (I'm pretty sure he thought I was going to pass out from shock!) He dismounted the horse, walked towards me, and got down on one knee. It was a purely magical moment! I was beyond ecstatic and overwhelmed by the emotions and am so excited to take the next step in our love story!

CaffeineSkip to the navigation
Drug Information
Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant drug used as an aid to stay awake, for mental alertness due to fatigue, and as an adjunct with other drugs for pain relief. Caffeine is available alone as a nonprescription drug, in combination with other nonprescription drugs, and in prescription drug combinations for relief of pain and headache.
Common brand names:Keep Alert, No Doz, Vivarin
Summary of Interactions with Vitamins, Herbs, & Foods
Replenish Depleted Nutrients
In 205 healthy postmenopausal women, caffeine consumption (three cups of coffee per day) was associated with bone loss in women with calcium intake of less than 800 mg per day.1 In a group of 980 postmenopausal women, lifetime caffeine intake equal to two cups of coffee per day was associated with decreased bone density in those who did not drink at least one glass of milk daily during most of their life.2 However, in 138 healthy postmenopausal women, long-term dietary caffeine (coffee) intake was not associated with bone density.3 Until more is known, postmenopausal women should limit caffeine consumption and consume a total of approximately 1,500 mg of calcium per day (from diet and supplements).
Reduce Side Effects
Support Medicine

Caffeine is found in coffee, tea, soft drinks, and chocolate. To reduce side effects, people taking caffeine-containing drug products should limit their intake of caffeine-containing foods/beverages.
Explanation Required
Guaraná (Paullinia cupana) is a plant with a high caffeine content. Combining caffeine drug products and guaraná increases caffeine-induced side effects.

By Lesli Nolen
September 2009
Being a mom of an 8-year-old and a 16-year-old, I look back at my life and think—wow, where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday I was making mud pies, riding my bike or shooting the B-B gun. But I do not miss all those awkward and embarrassing moments we all have to experience. I'm sure life has plenty more of those in store for me, and you too.
Author Judy Lockhart DiGregorio has written a book, "Life Among the Lilliputians," taking some of her life's embarrassing moments and building a book of laughter. She tells about some of her life's better moments as well. She says, from childhood through adulthood, her journey through life's ups and downs made her who she is.
Each chapter in the book relates an incident. In the first short story, Judy tells about the time her son had a job at 13 working for the local newspaper. He was the paper boy. One day he wasn't feeling well, so Judy offered to make his deliveries for him. Her son told her where the papers would be dropped off and gave her his delivery list.
Judy doesn't think the task will be that hard; after all, her son does it every day. Judy finds the newspapers, opens her son's tote bag and begins stuffing all 80 newspapers into the bag. She stuffs and stuffs and finally manages to get all the newspapers into the bag. She struggles to carry the heavy bag of newspapers throughout the neighborhood. Delivering the papers, she wonders how her son does this-- it's been two hours and she's not even half way through the route. About that time her husband drives up and sees her swaying side to side under the bulging bag of newspapers. He tells her she must be crazy carrying all those newspapers like that. She replies, she thought that was what she was suppose to do. Her husband then lets her her know that their son only takes a third of the newspapers at a time. He doesn't carry all 80 of them at once. Judy laughs and together they finish their son's paper route. Judy writes, "A mother will do anything for her child, but this mother will only do it once."
I have never had to do a paper route for my child but I think sometimes we are so eager to help we just jump right in and don't really know what we're getting ourselves into.
Remember your first summer love and the feeling of butterflies in your stomach? Judy tells about her first summer love--on wheels.
She is at the skating rink and sees the man of her dreams. When she looks at him, he looks at her and winks. She is in love. Then a voice over the intercom announces, "Ladies, pick your partner and skate." She decides to skate his way and grab his hand. Only she skates right past him, unable to stop. She body-slams into the padded wall and then hits the floor. She looks up and there he goes, the man of her dreams skating by with a petite blond who looks like Sandra Dee. At that moment she realizes love isn't what makes the world go round, roller skates do. Years later Judy does find love again, this time true love.
After 45 years of marriage, Judy's husband, Dan, still introduces her as his "first wife." And Judy's response is, "and you're my last husband." They met each other their freshman year at college. It wasn't long after and they were married. Like most of us, they had no idea what marriage involved--the cooking, cleaning, working, paying bills and still liking each other. But somehow they have made it work. Through the years, Dan's stories have become Judy's stories and vise versa. Judy's advice on making marriage succeed is, "commitment, perseverance and a sense of humor."
Judy says she and Dan have taken Franklin D. Roosevelt' s advice, "When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." She says she and Dan are still hanging on.

Any given Thursday
Linux Today has been gracious enough to post the Tuesday blog post and the responses to it on that page hit home with a topic — Linux evangelism — that needs to be discussed.
This is very important, so pay attention.
Important point number one: How you present FOSS is probably more important than actually promoting Linux and FOSS. Let me say that again: How you present FOSS is probably more important than actually promoting GNU/Linux and FOSS.
[Yeah, I said it twice, but not because of the Linux-vs.-GNU/Linux thing, though that was very convenient, huh?]
This is how we do it in Felton Farmers Market table: We essentially ask "Do you know about Linux?" If not, we explain what it is. If so, we ask them about their experience. What we stress is, in both cases, "Remember, you have a choice." And the choice is simple — either you can have an operating system and software that you own (and is not licensed to you) or you can have an operating system and software that puts you at the mercy of those who own it (i.e., Microsoft, Apple, etc.).
Yes, it may take a little work to get up to speed, but the trade-off is that you're essentially free of viruses, spyware, malware, etc., and your system (especially an older one) will run faster. Also, if you need help, we let them know that the Felton Linux Users Group (for which the table is set up) can help.
The key operating word here is choice: You give the people the choice of whether they want an operating system and software that is theirs to own, that is free (as in beer/KookAid/bottled water/whatever as well as in freedom) and that, with a little work, they can control more easily than what they might have now.
Or they can choose not to change, and that's completely up to them, which — another important point — is a decision that should be respected no matter how wrong we might think it is.
Which, of course, brings us to . . .
Important point number two: There's no need, let alone no room, for zealotry. The zealotry that's often masked as evangelism harms GNU/Linux and FOSS far more than it helps.
Think about it in these terms — and this is not to cast evangelicals in a negative light, but just to use some of the more zealous, overbearing ones as an example — how effective are those Bible-thumpers you may encounter, telling you you're going to roast like a July 4th marshmallow in the eternal fiery pits of hell's damnation unless you embrace $RELIGION that they profess? Does that kind of pitch fill you with instant inspiration to take them up on their cause, or does it fill you with an overwhelming desire to find the nearest hose and spray them down?
Same thing with Linux/FOSS zealots: If you horse-collar people and tell them they must use GNU/Linux and FOSS or they will die, then you're acting no better than the misguided evangelicals mentioned in the previous paragraph.
We have all been "filled with the Holy Spirit," to use a Christian term for divine inspiration, at some point in our conversion to Linux/FOSS and it's only natural to want people to know what we know, and to experience what we experience, when it comes to our operating system and software. But . . .
Important point number three: People are people. Some people take pride in their car or house and are constantly doing work on them; whether it's tuning up or doing repair work themselves on their car, or being on a first-name basis with the guys and gals at Lowe's or Home Depot while making their home their personal pride and joy.
Then again, some people have ratty cars that are driven into the ground and live in the hovel to which their mail goes — because they don't care.
[This is not to say that people who drive ratty cars don't care. I drive a '92 Toyota Paseo with 316,000 miles because it's all I can afford. It looks like death warmed over, but I do regular maintenance on it and it runs like a champ.]
Some people — more than likely in the first category — are the ones who are more likely to consider their computers as more than just an appliance; the latter may not consider their computers anything more than a television screen with a keyboard.
It's those in the first category that realize what they have in a personal computer (i.e., more than just an appliance) that tend to want to know more of the options in the digital realm. Hence, most of those we encounter at the farmers market fall into the first category.
Those in the second category, well, fall under the "Lead-a-horse-to-water" group. You may not be able to make them drink, and while no one really deserves the slings and arrows that befall Windows users, people have to want to get themselves out of that quagmire before they can actually get out of it. Whether they have to "hit bottom," as they say in AA circles, is worthy of debate, but the main thrust is that they have to want to help themselves.
So to recap: We have most, if not all, of the solutions for everyone to have a free-as-in-freedom digital experience through GNU/Linux and FOSS. It is open to everyone and anyone who wants to participate — at whatever level fits their comfort zone — and the community aspect is one that has the ability to reach far beyond merely the technical realm.
A lot of people, to varying degrees, "get it," and most, sooner or later, they will change from using Windows/Mac to Linux/FOSS. Some don't, and while that's unfortunate, it's their choice.
And that's what this is about — the freedom to choose.
If you've read this far, thanks for staying awake.

The LtFSG soapbox grows ever higher.
Point #1 Well said indeed. Maybe your best to date.
Point #2 Zealot Zeal"ot, n. [F. z['e]lote, L. zelotes, Gr. ?. See
One who is zealous; one who engages warmly in any cause, and
pursues his object with earnestness and ardor; especially,
one who is overzealous, or carried away by his zeal; one
absorbed in devotion to anything; an enthusiast; a fanatical
[1913 Webster]
Do you see that part that says "one who engages warmly in any cause,
and pursues his object with earnestness and ardor"?
Being zealous is not a bad thing. Being a zealot is not a bad thing.
It is not a good thing to be over zealous. However, zealous is almost
always used as a negative thing now days. Like the word manifesto,
you never see that word anymore. Some brilliant geeks have and are
using it but for the most part it is always associated with the
"Communist Manifesto" and there goes your audience, heading for the
exit. In fact communist, communism and such are not in and of
themselves bad or negative. But the Colonel digresses.
At the Texas Linux Fest Mr. Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier in his Keynote
address said …that only our enthusiasm and passion will get people to
try the Linux distros. Your wonderful technological "proofs" and the
unbeatable specs of FOSS software are just not enough….
So, be a ZEALOT. But please be a very polite and humble zealot.
Point #3 About that horse to water thing… two Texans can but that
is all I can say on this world renown blog.
Larry said: "And that's what this is about — the freedom to choose."
That's it in a nut shell. Linux, the freedom to choose.
Other than starting a sentence with And, this is your best ever.

I'm not happy about writing this. I want to make that very clear right now. I – like most of my fellow Friar journalists – didn't even want to write about Ledo in the draft this year. If we could have it our way we all would've been watching Ledo next season in a Friar uniform. Obviously that didn't happen, so instead we all wanted to write about Ledo beating the odds – to be the exception to the proverbial rule – and get drafted in the first round. Shake the commissioner's hand, put on the hat, having highlights of…some game he was in play while all the analysts say their bit.
There might've been some sort of redemption in that story, right? But instead we've ended up with the brilliant kid in high school who could get into Harvard no problem if he just was patient and applied himself, but instead chose to believe he was a shoe in based on what he was told.
Guess what? He didn't get in. He got called at 43 overall, with talent that people have barely heard of going well before him. He's going to be playing on the Bucks next year (or the Mavs. Or the Sixers. Or the Hawks. Look I have no idea honestly, it's chaos right now. But I think it's the Mavs.) and that's assuming he makes the team. We all know the story of second round picks.
But you know what? I want to look at this from a different perspective. All we've heard since April 15 is "Ledo, Ledo, Ledo, Ledo, Ledo, Ledo…Ledo." What about us? The fans? The coaching staff? The program? The Ricky Ledo saga is officially over, but what's this mean for everyone else?
Let's talk about it.


description: January 26, 2012—Researchers have discovered a unique visual attribute that jumping spiders use in attacking and catching prey. The arachnids use what is called image defocus-proven in part by videos that show spiders jumping with deadly accuracy in green light (and fumbling in red).

transcript:
We've long known that many insects have specialized eye capabilities, but Japanese researchers have now concluded that jumping spiders have a unique vision attribute.
Jumping spiders are able to stalk and rapidly pounce on their prey. To do this, they must gauge the distance the prey is from them.
Most animals gauge distance either by adjusting focal length of the lenses, as humans do, or moving their heads for an effect known as "motion parallax."
The new findings suggest jumping spiders have a third option, called image defocus.
The researchers, headed by Takashi Nagata, proved their theory by testing jumping spiders with only green light, in which they successfully pounced on their prey. But when only under red light , the spiders came up short.
In analyzing the jumping spiders' several layers in the retina of its primary eye, one of the layers contained a green-sensitive pigment, despite the fact that this layer does not focus green light. The researchers say because of chromatic aberration of the lens, the defocus is larger under red light. And under red light, the spiders incorrectly gauged the distance to the smaller insect.
Until now, no animals were known to use image defocus to determine the distance of an object.
Think of photos that are blurry in the foreground but clear in the background, and you can imagine how image defocus works.
The study findings were published in the AAAS journal, Science.

DAVID Butler's brother has described how his sibling "disintegrated" as he grew increasingly obsessed with Rachel Read.
Graham Butler, 74, lives in Banbury Road, Bicester, next door to his mother's former home and took her in when she was made homeless.
He said: "He worshipped the ground his call girl escort walked on. At one point he even bought her an engagement ring and said they were going to be married.
"I think he became quite seriously mentally unbalanced, he needed some help."
Graham's wife Anne, 64, said: "He used to be very passionate about his music and he had some success as a teacher.
"But that all went, he lost interest in everything else."
Mr Butler added: "There was just a complete deterioration of his character. He was a man who had deep cultural interests.
"And he seemed to disintegrate and lose interest in everything except drinking, gambling and sex."
The couple became concerned in 2007 that David was taking out equity on his elderly mother's house without asking permission.
Then the following year letters demanding unpaid council tax and utility bills started to appear.
Eventually they discovered that when he couldn't borrow any more money, David sold his mother's house to a property developer and rented it back.
Then in 2011, because of months of unpaid rent, Margaret Butler was finally evicted from her home.
Mr Butler said: "She came round and had no idea what was happening, she couldn't take it in.
"Then a few days later she collapsed. The doctor said she was suffering from shock."

- Hodges has a cat named Kobayashi Maru (or little Kobe and Mr. K) as he also calls him.
- The miniature paper is dated February 17, 2007. Catherine states that it is dated "the day after tomorrow" which made the current day February 15, 2007 which is the date of the original airing.
- At the end of the episode, Grissom states that the Miniature Killer has murdered five people, but they have actually only killed four people so far: Izzy Delancy, Penny Garden, Raymundo Suarez and Officer Kamen, in this episode. Barbara Tallman was suffocated by her brother.
- Catherine (to Grissom): Hey! How'd it go with the sheriff?
- Grissom: Media's all over him which means he's all over the undersheriff, who's all over Ecklie, who's blaming me for not going public with the Izzy Delancy miniature like he told me to.
- Nick: You know, this timer was geared to run for weeks. It could have easily been put in place a month ago.
- Grissom: That's why the killer felt safe enough to send me the miniature. He never intended to be at the scene. There was no danger of being caught.
- Greg: Hey, Sara, check this out. I was digging through Mannleigh Chicken's employee health insurance records...
- Sara: 45 million Americans without health coverage, and a chicken slaughterhouse provides medical benefits?
- Hodges (to Grissom): Hey boss, where are we going out for breakfast?
- Grissom: You have a cat, don't you, Hodges?
- Hodges: Mr. K, Kobayashi Maru. It's in reference...
- Grissom: Do you ever take him out of the house?
- Hodges: My little Kobe? No way. Vegas is coyote country.
- Grissom: Stop hovering, Hodges. You're in or you're out.
- Hodges: In.
- Nick: The killer did plan every detail.
- Warrick: Except for us showin' up.
- Grissom: Catherine, layout room, now!
- Catherine (enters the room): Gil, where's the fire? (sees the miniature crime scene and looks confused)
- Grissom: It's been sitting in my office for the last 4 weeks.
- Catherine: But we caught the miniature serial killer, he confessed.
- Grissom: Yeah, and I watched him blow his brains out, but I think the package was post-marked after he killed himself.
- Catherine: Maybe he arranged to have it sent post-mortem.
- Grissom: The three other murders, the miniature was left at the scene. This one was addressed to me.
- Catherine: So now it's personal.
- Sofia (about the deceased police officer): I was watching her die and I didn't even realize it.
- Grissom: Look, Sofia, there weren't any carbon monoxide sensors in the apartment so no one could have known. And in fact if I hadn't gone away we would have had another month to work with; you would have never been in that position.
- Sofia: But it doesn't make you feel any better either, does it? (Grissom shakes his head slightly. There's a long pause) You know the scene has been released, Ms. Tallman was pretty insistent. They offered to leave a uniform with her but she wasn't having it. (pause) So what are you looking for? The miniature's complete.
- Grissom: It's not perfect though. Officer Kamen was not the intended victim.
- Sofia: Well she was dressed like her, she died in the right position, so did the cat.
- Grissom: I'm still not sure it's perfect enough. (the phone rings, Grissom answers) Grissom. Yeah. (pause) Okay. (puts the phone down) Now it's perfect.
- Sara: The Miniature Killer murdered three people over a period of roughly six months. Ernie Dell was either directly or indirectly related to all of them.
- Warrick: What's with the bloody dolls?
- Sara: We're not sure. There's a different perspective of that same image in all of the miniatures. We're thinking it could be some kind of signature.
- Nick: Remember the Blue Paint killers? Maybe Ernie Dell had a partner. Like an apprentice, an accomplice, something like that.
- Warrick: Or a disciple.
- Sara: You guys make models when you were kids?
- Nick: Tanks and airplanes.
- Warrick: Classic cars.
- Sara: These miniatures are obsessively precise, half-inch scale models of the crime scenes. They probably took weeks of focused effort to create. I don't think the killer's into team sports

This should fix your problem.
Hi, I've got some problems while booting BT5, I'm trying to run the live DVD environment but can't get it to work.
I boot from the DVD, chooses "default boot text mode", then some text passes by and after a few minutes I'm asked to write "startx" to launch the graphical interface. After writing "startx" the screen gets black but after a few minutes the BT background shows and the mouse cursor. But nothing but the background shows, no menus or anything else and the mouse cursor starts to flip between a clock and the regular arrow. After this nothing else happens, the mouse cursor keeps flip for hours. So, I'm stuck here and don't know what to do.
I added a image to show where the screen seems to get stuck.
Anyone who has any suggestion what to do?
This should fix your problem.
