Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/1/2014 (1284 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Citizens are urged to call police with any detail — no matter how small — if they think it relates to the investigation into the killing of Earl Daniel Beebe.
"Even though you may think it's insignificant, it may very well be significant," Brandon Police Service Sgt. Mike Pelechaty said.
Detectives haven't exhausted all avenues of investigation, Pelechaty said, but some help would be appreciated.
The body of Beebe, 39, was found in his Victoria Avenue apartment in the early morning of Dec. 28 after firefighters put out a small fire in the suite.
Shortly after, Brandon police announced that they considered the death suspicious.
Then, after an autopsy confirmed that Beebe's death was due to multiple stab wounds, police announced that they consider the case a homicide.
Police believe the fire was set to cover up the killing. Otherwise, details such as how many times Beebe was stabbed and with what, and how the fire was started, haven't been released.
With no word of suspects, police issued a public appeal for information and featured the killing in a Crime Stoppers bulletin.
On Thursday, police said the invitation to call in with any tips remains open.
"We're asking for the public's help if they have any information at all in relation to this incident," Pelechaty said.
Those who believe they may have information can call the BPS directly at 204-729-2345 or Crime Stoppers at 204-727-TIPS (8477).
Residents at Beebe's apartment block, where he resided for a number of years, said he worked at Maple Leaf and lived alone.
He grew up in Wabowden in northern Manitoba. A relative who lives in that area declined comment when reached by the Brandon Sun.

A DEDICATED volunteer from Worcester has been honoured for her years of tireless work at a hospice in the city.
Monica Martin from Claines was awarded the Order of Mercy at a ceremony at London's Mansion House on Monday, July 28 for her work with St Richard's Hospice.
The 73-year-old, who carried the Olympic torch through Worcester in 2012 and has run the London Marathon for the charity three times, first volunteered for St Richard's about ten years ago.
She regularly supports patients at the day hospice in Wildwood Drive and also works as a driver and escort on the charity's minibus as well as carrying out administration work.
Mrs Martin said she had greatly enjoyed her work at the hospice and had no intention of stopping.
"I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it," she said.
Mrs Martin can also often be seen out and about collecting donations for the hospice, which provides free palliative care for people with life-threatening conditions and their families.
The charity's chief executive Mark Jackson said he was "thrilled" Mrs Martin was had been awarded the honour.
"She is a fantastic supporter and very happy to help in so many areas," he said.
"We really value her contribution to the volunteer team."
President of the League of Mercy the Rt Hon Lord Lingfield described Mrs Martin's work as "extraordinary".
"She is a marvellous example of someone who has given wonderful service to her community and we were delighted to be able, on the recommendation of the charity, to make this well-deserved award," he said.
The League of Mercy was created in 1899 by King Edward VII, then the Prince of Wales, the with the intention of recognising the work of volunteers and was refounded as a charity in 1999.

After many years of pricey temporary fillers to restore lost cheek volume (fat, radiesse, juvi, sculptra-my fav), I have decided to seek a permanent solution. In reviewing cheek implant trends and in calling many doctors offices, it appears this is not a favorable treatment. Would like to know exactly why. For a person in their early 40's with a strong metabolism, what else is recommended to restore youthful cheek volume?
Cheek Implant Procedure: Materials/fixation/shape
Doctor Answers 5
Cheek augmentation with implants
Cheek augmentation restores volume to the cheeks. Minimal volume can also be placed with temporary fillers, but it is only temporary and after four to five months there may need to be additional treatment. A cheek implant made of silastic plastic can be inserted with changeable sulcus for cheek augmentation. The implants are made by Implantech and come in small, medium, large, and extra large. These are the implants we use in our practice for the last 20 years and have had excellent success rate with them. It is important to make sure your surgeon selects the right size and not overdo it. Silastic implants do not need fixation.

Cheek Implants
I respectfully disagree with those surgeons who suggested that cheek inplants are "not a favorble treatment". I always give patients this option when they want to improve cheek contour or projection. The implants, usually silicone, are typically placed through an intra-oral incision and fixed with sutures or tiny surgical screws.
Cheek Augmentation with Silicone Implant
Cheek augmentation may be initially performed with injectable facial fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, or fat. These non-surgical cheek enhancements are good options. However, many patients require or seek a more permanent solution. Silicone cheek implants are the preferred option of permanent cheek enhancement. Silicone implants are easy to insert via a small intraoral incision, and easy to remove if there is any problem. The are a few different shapes to silicone implants, largely based on surgeon & patient preference and specific facial anatomy. Silicone implants may be fixed into position with screws, or more commonly temporary sutures until your body encapsulates them. Speak with plastic surgeon for a comprehensive evaluation and to help determine appropriate options for you.

Cheek Implant
The reason cheek implants are very in disfavor is the high rejection/infection rates. Approaching 25%. I recommend Stem Cell Fat with HA's as a graft.
Cheek augmentation
Permanent cheek implants for cheek augmentation are an excellent procedure for patients with deficient bony architecture in this area. These implants are inserted surgically through an incision under the upper lip and are secured to the underlying cheek bone. Cheek implants or malar implants are made of silastic which can be surgically repositioned, replaced, or removed if necessary. Minimal risks involved are malposition, assymetry, and infection.
Another option may be microfat injection into the cheek area. Fat can be more unpredictable than fillers in terms of absorption and duration, but typically lasts longer than filler injection. This is also performed surgically in the operating room.

Board Search and Advisory Services
Whether it's a board of directors or an advisory group to help provide stability and insight, leadership starts at the top with those who know what it takes. With our extensive breadth of privileged contacts, we can help you identify and find the leadership you're looking for.
Moreover, with our breadth of experience and wisdom of what it takes to start, build, and grow a company, we can also help ensure that you have the right composition, focus, and mix of competencies to create the cohesive team strength and spirit required to build momentum in a world economy in transition.
Seasoned in lean start-up methodologies, we are adept at navigating the particular demands of emerging start-ups driving to disrupt their market, particularly in companies focused on mobile development.Typical assignments call for us to:
- Recruit one or more directors or advisors
- Build new boards
- Evaluate existing board dynamics
- Create advisory boards
- Advise on corporate governance
- Advise on succession planning
Executive Search
Few things impact an organization more than its leadership. Our targeted executive search strategy focuses on identifying chief operators with the skillsets to helm growing technology companies or to lead traditional businesses needing to transform to the new Internet-of-everything economy.
We specialize in leadership attraction, leadership assessment, succession planning, and executive development services. We have extensive experience in our areas of focus and can attract talent locally, nationally, or from around the world. We are experts at introducing opportunities, evangelising organizational culture, and persuading "A" players to explore career shifts that they may not have been considering.Our executive search expertise encompasses the following areas:
- Operational Senior Leadership
- Senior Human Resource Management
- Senior Finance Leadership
- Software Development, Engineering and Architecture
- Mobile Development
- Design, UX, IA
- Sales and Marketing Leadership
- New Media, Communications and PR
- In-House counsel
Leadership and Specialized Technical Search
Technology continues to both shape the world and be transformed by it. From cloud computing and mobile applications to new media and infrastructure, few industries are left unaffected and organizations must adapt to these changes quickly in order to succeed.
In technology recruiting, perhaps more than in any other industry, speed and expertise is paramount. We drive business results by being proactive and comprehensive in identifying, recruiting, and selecting the best technical or specialized talent available in our areas of focus.
Interim Leadership Search
The current economy lends itself to interim solution-oriented hires and this is especially true if your company is experiencing rapid growth, a sudden turnaround, a merger or acquisition, or is in the midst of developing a new line of business that requires immediate expertise without a long-term commitment. Interim executive search can be an effective option to "bridge the gap" in an important corporate transition. Although these positions are usually for 6-12 months, they may lead to permanent engagements.
Leadership, New-Hire and Team Assessment
Galvanize HR provides the most insightful and actionable leadership talent assessment services in Western Canada. They are the backbone of our search practice.
Talent assessment is a rapidly evolving science. If used well, behavioural- and competency-based interviewing and industrial and organizational psychology can be the secret weapon for growing organizations. If deployed poorly without clearly defining job competencies and critical success factors, some talent assessment appears more like "snake-oil."
We provide customized assessment solutions that enhance your ability to select the right people for the right job, align them across business units, and identify the potential for developmental opportunities.
Beyond our ability to help you source and identify talent, we can also provide you with a "sober second thought" overview of new hires, regardless of how they were sourced. As well, we can provide you with actionable guidelines that will help you gauge employee suitability for internal promotion or redeployment.
We are so confident that our talent assessment services will make an immediate and significant impact on your organization that we provide an unmatched guarantee. Get the details here.
Recruitment and Talent Strategy Consulting
We define, build, and implement customized recruitment and talent strategies to showcase your company culture and attract top performers. We work in the following strategic areas:
- Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)
- Competency Modeling
- HR and Recruitment Audits
- Employer brand
- Career Websites
- Employee Referral Programs
- Recruitment Advertising
- Onboarding
- Career Mapping and Succession Planning
- Merger and Acquisition HR Due diligence
- Graduate and Intern Programmes
- HR social media alignment
Employee recruitment and hiring is expensive. To be the best there is no substitute for comprehensiveness. Period. If there is mis-hire or lack of available resources holding back growth, your company could lose critical ground, especially if you are in aggressive-growth mode. Moreover, hiring a top performer can be elusive, and missing the mark can be costly and the difference between success and failure.
At Galvanize HR, we believe the traditional recruitment firm financial engagement model is broken. Hiring success should be measured across the organization for overall long-term impact and not a "flesh-peddling" transaction.
We have developed a one-of-a-kind value pricing fee structure for our search and placement services that fulfill our goal of driving the right long-term hiring behaviour for our clients.
As an Artisanal hiring service provider working with growing organizations, we are intimately aware of the issues of cash flow and financial constraints. As your partner, we will move mountains to create a fee structure and engagement model that ensures we all grow together.

Talent Assessment Fees
Our Comprehensive Chronological Competency Interview Assessments (CCI's) service is rigorous and intense. We are hired by the day to assess up to two external or internal candidates for the fraction of the cost of an Executive Search fee or the cost of a miss-hire.
We are so confident that our assessments will make an immediate impact in your hiring decision we only charge for our services after it is delivered. If our assessments did not prove to be definitive in confirming your previous evaluation or in shaping a new evaluation then the day is on us.

Gaps in Corby prosecution: drug squad chief
Page Tools
The head of the Balinese drug squad admits there are gaps in the prosecution's case against accused Australian drug smuggler Schapelle Corby.
Colonel Bambang Sugiarto of Bali's police narcotics unit told Indonesian television that the lack of video footage of Corby's arrest when she arrived at Denpasar airport last October was the prosecution's main shortcoming.
In comments aired on the Nine Network this morning, Colonel Sugiarto also said the prosecution's case was weakened because of "difficulties" with fingerprinting.
No fingerprinting was ever conducted on the drugs or on Ms Corby's boogie board bag, where the drugs were found.
This contrasts sharply with the arrest of the Bali nine which was filmed and involved thorough fingerprinting.
Ms Corby, 27, from the Gold Coast, faces life in prison in Indonesia if she is found guilty later this month of smuggling marijuana.

Considering a 03 and an 04 BMW X5 3.0
The 2003 has 84,000 miles and they want 15,500.
The 2004 has 70,000+ miles and they want 17,000.
Curious as to the reliability and function of these years? Are they good daily drivers? I drive about 120 or so miles per week mostly on highway, but it does have traffic. Next year I'm out of NYC back to the suburbs, but this year I am a little concerned.
Are they pretty decent? Or should I look at something else? I want to be under 17,000. I am not interested in the 4.4i, only interested in the 3.0.
How many miles do they usually last? Can I expect, if treated right, a one owner example could do 200,000 miles?
What should I look for during an inspection besides the obvious coolant failure and radiator/water pump stuff?
Thanks for your help.
I bought a 2003 with 93,000 miles for $13,000 a year and a half ago. I've put a set of tires on it, replaced the brakes, and had it serviced once in 35,000 miles. I love it and would buy another one tomorrow. You'll have some of the issues in these posts, but just look up the problem and you can fix most of them. Drives like a dream.
Bought our 2003 earlier this year with 61K miles for just over 15,000. The differences between 04 and 03 3.0i are minor, with a different wheel and clear side markers being all I can remember.
I responded in another forum to your question, but the main difference between 03 to 04 is face lifted look with different headlights, grills and the Xdrive is better in the 04.
I too am a prospective X5 owner. But didn't the 2004 correct many of the problems with the earlier versions? I don't see the 2004 posted on too much. So, I am looking hard at a 2004 , one owner X5 with 87K. The dealer wants $13,900 USD. It's exceptionally clean, loaded and has a good history of only simple repairs. The previous owner ( I looked him up) says he changed the oil every 7500 mi and had no issues. He obviously babied it. ANY advice is needed and welcomed. I can set serious money aside for repairs but life is short and wasting time at the dealer or being stranded would ruin the experience. Please advise and thanks for reading my post.
I bought my 01 3.0i new (hers actually). It has just over 129k miles on it. It's never let me down, although I am pretty meticulous about maintenance. All of the typical M54 stuff applies (cooling systems, CCV, OFHG leak, VCG, Vanos seals, etc). My X5 also eats front brakes and outer CV boots. I expect mine to run to at least 200k. So long as the PO was good with maintenance, you should have no problem reaching 200k.

Wales NHS will 'collapse' without reform, First Minister warns
First Minister Carwyn Jones says health services in Wales will "collapse" unless hospitals are reorganised.
He said he did not expect Labour to pay a price at the ballot box for unpopular decisions that could mean some people have to travel further for treatment.
The public wants a "safe and sustainable" NHS, he told BBC Wales.
Local health boards are in the process of finalising reorganisation plans, many of which have sparked protests by opponents.
The plans could be referred to ministers by the local patient watchdogs, the community health councils (CHCs).
Because of that, Mr Jones has declined to comment on specific proposals to change the way services are delivered.
However, he told BBC Wales' Sunday Politics programme that changes to the NHS in Wales were necessary.
'Safe and sustainable'
He said: "It would collapse otherwise - there's no question of it.
"I think people want to see a safe and sustainable health service.
"I think the worst thing that could possibly happen is that nothing happens and then we see services just disappearing at random all over the place.
"People would say 'hang on a second, why didn't you do anything?' and that is far, far worse."
Asked if he thought he would pay a political price, he said: "No I don't believe we will, because I think that people will see that what we are trying to do is to have a safe and sustainable health service."
The government would look at proposals in detail if they are referred by CHCs, Mr Jones said.
"But there is no getting away from the fact that there has to be change in the health service for it to be safe in the future."
Some services will have to be delivered in England, he added.
"We can't replicate the entire British NHS here in Wales.
"There are some conditions that are so specialised that they can only be treated in specialised centres, like Great Ormond Street [children's hospital in London]. We're not going to replicate that in Wales.
"It's about ensuring that we have safe and sustainable services that are available to the people of Wales."
But Conservative assembly member Angela Burns said it was a "masterclass in how to avoid responsibility".
The Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire AM added: "Everybody recognises the NHS has to change, but where we haven't had a proper debate is about what are deemed essential services.
"What we're having at the moment is the health boards and deanery saying 'we can't get these people or those kind of people and you can only have that and you'll have to go elsewhere for other things'.
"That simply isn't acceptable, we need to talk about what we need locally."
In north Wales, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board's decision to close four community hospitals and transfer care for seriously ill babies to England has prompted local opposition.
Hywel Dda Health Board, which covers mid and west Wales, has approved plans to close minor injury units and centralise other services affecting patients in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.
Health boards in south Wales are expected to unveil proposals later in the spring.

Cannabis Press Association launches: Calling all pot newshounds
In Colorado, where there's medical marijuana, there's media.
So it was only a matter of time before someone attempted to organize all those newshounds on the weed beat -- and now that time has come.
Introducing Colorado-based Cannabis Press Association.
This CPA is not to be confused with the Colorado Press Association, an organization of reporters who cover subjects beyond pot. Although honestly, what other subjects are there these days?

So far, the details of the Cannabis Press Association are sketchy at best. According to a recent press release penned by the Boulder-based advocacy group the Cannabis Therapy Institute (which may or may not be associated with the CPA), the new media group was involved in a legal panel put on last week by CTI and the Cannabis Trade Council, since the CPA was offering working press complimentary food and drinks. It's a good first move for the nascent organization, since as everybody knows, free booze and grub is the way to any reporter's heart
The CPA's bare-bones website provides a few more details. According to the one-page site, the CPA "provides background and research on cannabis issues and is available to answer questions from cannabis journalists," as well as providing press credentials for cannabis-oriented events. It's all about encouraging fair and accurate marijuana reporting, notes the site, since "cannabis has been the subject of much misinformation in the press from the Reefer Madness years to the present."
An e-mail requesting more information about the CPA has not yet garnered a response. We suspect the CPA's news team is instead busy beating the pavement, hot on the trail of a skunky scoop.

The owner reviews on the Ren 90's (see www.audioreview.com - Product Reviews, Main speakers, i for infinity, scroll down to Ren 90's)speak for themselves.
I just recently bought a pair- a preowned pair that is, as this model isnt made anymore (1991-1995). And I can tell you, the other owners arent kidding, they are GREAT speakers!!
Infinity used to make the awesome Quantum models back in the late 70's- see site: www.bobbyshred.com/infinity.html I was interested in a buying a pair but being 20+ years old, I was concerned about the Parts replacement situation- so I opted fo the newer Ren 90's.
This model is truly a winner by Infinity. Not that well known and not that easy to find for sale- and I can understand why- look great (much better than the audioreview.com photo), sound great, etc- who would wanna sell theirs?
Follow Ups:
My Dad had a pair of Quantum 4's from the 70's through the mid 90's. They had no highs or mids to speak of. He finally replaced them with a pair of Aria 5-a's from Zalytron with a sub. No comparison. The Quantums were junk by comparison.
I can't help but wonder if dads systems were either damaged or misadjusted. I repaired a set of Q5's in 1985 which had the same problem. Cause: previous owner had a receiver (Technics) which did not do well with the Quantums low impedance. This forced the amp into clipping which generated a large amount of Emit fusing hf energy. This was a problem with the Q series design. That is why amplifiers with ability to handle the low impedance and have the capability to produce the desired SPL's were a must with Infinity speakers.
I have repaired/restored quite a few Infinity speakers dating from 1977 to 1983. I have found that these systems achilles heals were the Emits tendency to act as fusable links. Infinity delt with the problem in later designs by raising the crossover point, but they were still haunted by clipping "lesser" solid state amps.
Any chance you're in the New York area?? Hard to find a good audio repair shop here- I'm not kidding. Especially a place thats knowledgeable on the older Infinity models.
Have you done any work on the infinity Qb's? (3 way system: Emit, 4" mid & 10" butyl woofer). I have a pair of Qb's and they really sound great- better than a pair of RSb's I had for a short while- which is odd, as the RSb was the "improved" follow-up to the Qb w/ poly-p woofers. But sometimes Ive noticed when listening to music- the sound from the midrange becomes muffled in one speaker. It clears up and then becomes muffled again. Is this a problem with the mid driver or a faulty capacitor in the crossover circuit board or- as most people have said-the adjust pots in the back need cleaning. ?? Any advice you have to offer would be appreciated.
If you read my other post here, I have the Renaissance 90's. But the Qb's still look/sound excellent- so I couldnt part with them- When I have more room I shall set them up in a 2nd hi-fi system along with my collection of vintage Sansui & Pioneer receivers and amps. The Qb's are 4 ohms but the Sansui's & Pioneers are alright with them. The bigger Quantums might be more challenging- but my brother drove a pair of Quantum 3's with a Sansui AU-717 integrated amp (85W), no problems.
I'm driving the Ren 90's with a newly bought Odyssey Stratos. Its a very pleasing combination. I'm just concerned about the Parts situation for the future. Right now, the EMIM's used in the Ren 90's are down to the last few in stock and they sell for $330 each- Ouch!! I dont know if Infinity (HK) is planning to make just the membrane (diaphragm) available- which would be alot less $$- and usually its just that 'part of the part' that fails- based on my understanding- I believe it either develops an open or it gets scorched from excessive current.
Hello BeetleFred,
I live in Western Ma. No, I haven't done any work on the Qb, but I am sure they aren't all that different. So far as muffled midrange, I would be inclined to check your mid driver for healthy connections from the crossover the the driver. If they are OK, then I'd get some good contact cleaner and shoot your level controls. If the problem persists, I would try disconnecting your midrange driver and swapping it with the one in the other QB (making sure you don't get the driver polarity reversed....very strange effect). If the sonic problem moves, you have found the culprit. If it remains it is surgery time. You need to get at the crossover and examine it for cold solder joints, broken lugs and so on. Also, check for any current limiting device protecting the mid driver. If present in the circuit, it could be responding incorrectly to the audio signal and partially muting the output. Barring these problems, then you need to look for damaged crossover components. If electrolytic caps are in the midrange section, they may be going bad (leaking etc...) given that the Qb probably was introduced around 1979-1980.
I have seen scorched EMITS (big brown-black burns in the kapton diaphragm), but not EMIMs. The few I've seen were damaged by poked holes courtesy of "junior" with a sharp writing implement, or a object made of steel getting into the slot and firmly contacting the diaphragm causing a break in the conductor(s). Breaks in the conductors can be repaired with Loctite brand rear window defroster repair paint. Obviously, if there is a hole in the diaphragm it needs to be patched first, then the paint applied with a fine artists paint brush (camel hair or red sable)
Feel free to e-mail me if you have further questions.
-Tom H
OK- Thanks for the all the helpful info, I really appreciate it. If I have some extra time this weekend I'll try and hear how the Qb's are doing and will keep in touch w/ you via email. Regards, Fred
Email me. I may be able to help out.

'The Quantums were junk by comparison'- Gee Des, Sorry to hear that your father's experience with them wasnt that good. I dont know why, because there are alot of other people Ive met online who absolutely love the sound of their 'ol Infinity Quantum models- which puts your opinion in the minority. Those EMIT tweeters were especially good in reproducing the highs so I am baffled by your complaint about them. What amp did your Dad use to drive the Q4's? Is it possible he underpowered them? If the Aria's are working out better for you/him, thats fine- to each his own 'Ya know, but none of those Quantum models were junk.
Ever look at the response of the Aria 5? While a good design (I respect Joe D'Apolito's work) the metal dome tweeter version has a HF peak, lending a brightening effect to the overall sound.

An Oregon couple have been convicted of criminally negligent homicide for not getting medical treatment for their 16-year-old son, who died in 2008 of a urinary-tract blockage. Instead, Jeffrey and Marci Beagley engaged in so-called faith healing.
The Portland Oregonian writes that because the Beagleys have no prior convictions, they are likely to face 16 to 18 months in prison. The maximum sentence is 10 years.
The Oregon Legislature outlawed spiritual treatment as a defense in 1999.

Hello everyone! I'm popping onto the blog today to share a layout I made for the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog.
This month, the team is using the February 2017 Cocoa Daisy kit, Ashton Court, as inspiration. Ashton Court had a bright, festive color palette made up of sunshine yellow, lime green and deep navy. None of those are colors I'm usually drawn to in scrapbooking, but something about them spoke to me this time around. They struck me as being very "summery" and goodness knows I could use a healthy dose of summer in my life right now! You can see the mini page kit I pulled together over on the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog, but here's the layout I ended up making ...
That's my little munchkin, freshly scrubbed and bathed and ready for bed. I love that photo of her and wanted to make a fun, cheerful layout to document the candid snapshot.
As I was putting this layout together, I was reminded of this post I wrote back in 2014 for a National Scrapbook Day extravaganza event over on the CKC blog. Working with neon colors isn't always easy - but it is possible! Now, I realize that in this month's counterfeit kit the colors aren't exactly neon, per se ... but I believe the same principles apply when working with bright, bold colors in general.
In the post referenced, I shared 3 simple tips on how to incorporate neon products on your projects and I used all 3 of those tips on my layout above. I kept my "neon use" to a minimum, I used a white background to create a softer look and I used layers of shades (bright neon yellow on top of sunshine yellow, for example) to prevent the pops of neon from stealing the show. I also used another trick - a black and white photo - to keep the design from looking too busy. I hope this inspires you! xx

It's not quite The Social Network, but "Facebook Follies," a one-hour documentary about the consequences of sharing personal information on the social network, debuts on the Canadian Broadcasting Channel this Television Thursday.
"Facebook Follies" features interviews with people whose reckless Facebook postings resulted in lost jobs, marriages, and freedom.
All is not doom and gloom, however, as the documentary also shares the story of a man who reconnected with his family after 50 years thanks to Facebook.
"Facebook Follies" was directed by Halifax documentary-maker Geoff D'Eon (This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Talking to Americans) and produced by Edward Peill from Halifax-based Tell Tale Productions.
D'Eon said:
It's really extraordinary what normally sensible people will put up on their Facebook pages. This documentary is going to make people think twice before posting personal information up there, for everyone to see. And for anyone not on Facebook, this film will likely just reaffirm their decision not to sign up.
We've got a preview of the documentary embedded below. Does it make you curious to watch the full hour of "Facebook Follies?"

It is possible to prevent your pet from developing diabetes which should be the ideal you strive for as a pet owner.
Since obesity is a key risk factor for diabetes, it is important to determine if your pet is obese. As pet breeds differ in size and body type, establishing a standard weight can be challenging. However, this simple test can give you a good idea of whether your pet is obese.
- Feel your pet's rib cage with your hands. You should be able to feel the ribs.
- Look at your pet in profile. The abdomen should be tucked up under the rib cage, not distended or hanging.
- Take an overhead look at your pet. You should be able to see a waist behind the ribs if your pet is at a healthy weight.
- If you are still unsure, consult your veterinarian.
If you have determined that your pet is obese, the next step is to get it to a healthy weight. Ensuring that your pet enjoys a healthy, appropriate diet is another way to help prevent diabetes.
As with humans, fewer calories and increased activity are the keys to weight loss. Reduced calorie pet food and strict portion control are key strategies in helping your pet lose weight.
Cats and dogs have very different nutritional needs. The recommendation for cats is a high protein, low-carbohydrate diet, preferably of meat with no added sugars. In some cases, diabetic cats can experience remission by diet changes alone. Dogs that are at risk for diabetes can benefit from a higher fiber content in their diet. But, an improved diet will not benefit your pets if they won't eat it. So, a certain amount of trial and error may be involved in finding the right balance.
Treats can still be a part of a weight loss plan, provided they are healthy and low in calories. Dinner table scraps and sugary treats should never be a part of your pets diet and if they are they must be completely eliminated!
Physical Activity
Increasing physical activity in overweight or obese cats and dogs is also important. Exercise utilizes energy and helps to avoid high blood sugar levels. In addition, the increased blood flow produced by exercise may improve insulin absorption by helping to further lower the blood glucose concentration.
Dogs will benefit from increased walking and/or running to burn additional calories.You can do this through regular walks every day with your pet – an added bonus is it's good for you too!
While indoor cats have less opportunity for exercise, adding play with chase style toys can help them increase their activity level. Your vet may be able to suggest additional ways to address animal obesity.Exercise is just as important for diabetic dogs as it is for non-diabetic dogs.
For many diabetic cats, strenuous exercise is not possible due to obesity or nerve damage.
Finally, it is important for every pet owner to become aware of the symptoms of pet diabetes. While diabetes is easily treatable and need not be life-threatening, early detection and treatment are essential. If you see any of the following symptoms contact your veterinarian immediately: sudden weight loss or gain; excessive drinking and/or urination; change in appetite, either a marked increase (up to three times normal) or loss of appetite; and, weakness and lethargy, particularly in the back limbs.

Some links for testing how different browsers and operating systems handle location links. If you have any suggestions for improvements please post them in the comments.
The Arduberry is an Arduino that sits on top of a Raspberry Pi. It connects to the GPIO pins. You can't see it in the photo, but there is a MEGA328P chip mounted on the bottom of the board. Functionally it works the same as what would happen if you were to hook an Arduino Uno to a Raspberry Pi using a USB connection. By running software like Firmata on the Arduberry and appropriate libraries on the Raspberry Pi, you can send information between the Arduberry and Raspberry Pi.
So why would you want something like this? There are many shields and sensor libraries available for the Arduino family. Also the Arduino provides analog, digital, and PWM pins while the Pi only has digital pins and a single PWM pin. On the other hand, the Pi has significantly more processing power, audio input and outputs, and allows you to use programming languages that aren't available for the Arduino. For example you could run Scratch, Java, Python, or Racket on the Pi and use it to control the Arduino.
By default the Arduberry is powered by the Raspberry Pi and since it sits on top of the Pi, it has a nice small form factor. The downside is that if you want to use the Pi to upload programs to the Arduberry, you have to be aware that it uses pins 11 and 13 to accomplish this. So if you have anything plugged into pins 11 or 13, when you try to send a new program to the Arduberry, you'll get an error like this:
avrdude: The AVR device is not responding avrdude: initialization failed rc=-1 Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override this check.
So for example if you try to use something like an Arduino Motor Shield that uses pin 13, you'll have to remove it to upload a different program to the Arduberry. If you have an LED plugged into pin 13, you'll have the same issue until you remove it.
So the Arduberry can be a good choice when the Arduino code is going to remain fairly static or you don't need to use pins 11 and 13. If you are needing to make a lot of changes to the Arduino code and have a shield that uses pins 11 and 13, you may be better off with a normal Arduino connected with a USB cable.
The Raspberry Pi has normally been too slow to run DrRacket. The new Raspberry Pi 2 is quite a bit faster, but if install racket from the default repositories, you'll probably find that you can run racket, but DrRacket fails with a message like:
Seg fault (internal error) at 0xb0f5b0
SIGSEGV SEGV_ACCERR SI_CODE 2 fault on 0xb0f5b0
My guess is that this as something to do with the switch to ARM7 from ARM6. If you try to build Racket from the source, you may get an error like this:
Makefile:155 recipe for target 'install-3m' failed
make[1]: *** [install-3m] Error 137
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/Downloads/racket-6.1.1/src'
Makefile:86: recipe for target 'install' failed
make: *** [install] Error 2
Best I can tell this is an out of memory error. You can probably get it to work by rebooting and making sure there are no other programs running while you do the build. Also you can start the machine without launching X windows to leave more memory available.
I was on a video conference and chat room today. Someone on the video conference asked what to do about some issue with management. At few minutes before someone had typed into the chat window asking how to delete tasks. I responded with, "You have to kill them."
My chat popped up on everyone's screen right after the management question. The person talking on video conference said, "Well, Mark, I suppose that is one option."
A sign that said "Park Courageously" inspired me to park like I had never parked before. Turns out it actually said "Park Courteously."
Mark Shead has worked as a system administrator, network administrator, IT director, and software engineer in variety of industries. Currently, he works with startups and on startup style projects within larger organizations. His focus is on getting better business results by improving software engineering processes–paying particular attention to the human element. This includes helping teams follow Agile principles, using DevOps to drive the delivery of business value, and engineering process improvements.
(Posted here so I can find it again next time I need it.)
Years ago when I was taking a typing class, there were certain tests that were designed to test speed not accuracy. It didn't take me long to realize that, since there was no detriment to making mistakes, the logical action was to mash on the keys in order to get 700 words per minute for that type of test.
Some IT organizations design their issue system to focus only on the speed of closing issues and not on accuracy. Working with these organizations gives me a lot of empathy for how the typing teacher felt when I turned in a page of random letters and got the highest score.
Agile is a set of principles for creating software. It doesn't prescribe a specific methodology. So Agile says, "it is good to reflect on how things are going," but doesn't say specifically how to do it. Scrum and Kanban on the other hand are methodologies or frameworks for doing the actual work.
Scrum was created out of Agile, while Kanban comes originally from systems developed by Toyota for managing assembly lines starting back in the 1940s. Scrum is based around iterations while Kanban is based around flow. An iteration in Scrum might be a week long and start with a planning phase where the stories for the iteration are selected followed by development and end with a demo and retrospective. These iterations are typically called sprints. The idea is to get a cadence of a set of features being delivered on a regular basis–typically 1 to 4 weeks. The amount of work that can be in process at one time is limited because the number of stories committed to in an iteration is limited.
Kanban's focus on flow is more concerned about moving stories through to completion smoothly. There are no iterations and work is limited based on the work in process limit placed on the different types of work. So the development column on a Kanban board might have a work in progress limit of 4 which means the team can't pull another story into development until something gets pulled out of the development column. This is done to make sure that stories flow through the system and don't get backed up in front of one resource or one type of work. The people responsible for work in one particular column pull in work from the column to their left when they have capacity. This ripples up stream as columns get an empty slot and can pull from their upstream column. In effect, one story being completed sends a signal up stream than another story can be pulled off the backlog and have work started on it.
Scrum has a Story Board with cards moving across it. Kanban has a Kanban board. Both look very similar, but the way they are used is very different. In Scrum the Story Board is a visual representation of what is being worked on where. In Kanban it is a visual representation, but also a control mechanism to manage the flow of the work. It controls how fast work is released from the backlog. In Kanban, it would be common to create another column to start gathering metrics whenever the team finds some type of impediment. That wouldn't normally happen with a Scrum Story Board.
For an analogy of the differences between Scrum iterations and Kanban's flow, you might think of Scrum as being similar to carrying a bucket of water between two points. The water represents work and the bucket represents the iteration. In Scrum you take the bucket to the destination and then talk about how you could do it better, then go back and do it again. Maybe this time you use a slightly different sized bucket, etc. Kanban is more like a gutter running between two points. You pay close attention to any areas that start backing up the water and make sure you don't pour more water in than is coming out the other end to make sure it doesn't build up and spill at a curve.
The team I'm currently working with is using Kanban so we have continuous flow for the development. However, we still use iterations for things that can benefit from a cadence–most notably the demos and retrospectives. We also continue to have daily standup meetings. So basically what we've done is removed the iteration based work from scrum and replaced it with the continuous flow of Kanban while still keeping the other parts of Scrum.
I've heard some people refer to this as Scrum-ban. I'm hesitant to use that term because it sounds silly to me…but I suppose no more silly than Scrum or Kanban.

Science Fair Presentation Dos and Don'ts
For any drawings or written text, start with pencil, not pen.
Sketch a rough layout on a piece of paper before pasting up your display.
Leave yourself plenty of time.
Gather all of your material and organize it into categories.
If you forgot to photograph each step of your procedure, consider re-staging it now for documentation. (Some are better than none!)
Consult a book or website about graphic design. See how professionals use a grid format with columns and rows for effective layouts.
Study examples of winning displays in science fair books for ideas. However….Be original!
Come up with a catchy title and display it prominently.
Include all required categories and content on your display.
Tell the story of your science project in a logical, easy-to-read manner.
Arrange items from left to right, from top to bottom.
Space elements evenly across your layout, to achieve a balanced, consistent look.
Draw attention to the most interesting parts of your project with color and graphics. Visitors and judges will zero in on this first thing.
Use black or dark colors for type.
Mount black-and-white text blocks on colored construction paper for contrast.
Make type large enough to read from four feet away: As a general rule, use 24 pt type for headings, 16 pt type for text blocks.
Choose a simple font that is easy to read. You may want one font for headings and another for body text, but make sure they are both easy to read. (Easy to read fonts include: Arial, Comic Sans, Tahoma, Verdana)
Use subheads and bullet points rather than long paragraphs of dense text.
Label all graphs, charts, and tables. On graphs, make sure you label the X and Y axes.
Write descriptive captions for photos.
Proofread and double- and triple-check all text before sticking it on your display board.
Avoid clutter.
Leave your display until the last minute.
Forget to spell-check and proofread!
Write or draw directly on the board.
Use too many fonts, or fancy fonts that are hard to read.
Display photos without captions.
Go crazy with colors. A few bright colors are good to accentuate key elements and add pizzazz. But stick to a handful and keep it professional.
Cover every inch of your display; remember to leave some breathing room (what graphic designers call "white space") between blocks of text and graphics.
Use white school glue to stick thin paper to your board, or it may ripple.
Be afraid to get creative. Science is not dull; it's dynamic!
Glue any 3-D objects to the display board at home. Wait until you transport the board to the fair, and do it there.
Forget to pack a box of supplies to keep handy for last-minute repairs at the fair.
Wear ripped jeans or short skirts to the science fair. You're not expected to wear a three-piece suit, but shoot for neat and conservative to be safe.
Chew gum!
Text or talk on your cell phone!
Forget to smile, look visitors and judges in the eye, be polite, and congratulate the winners.

Robson Trowbridge, the Alpha of Creemore and my gorgeous mate, tries to protect me, Hedi Peacock, half-Fae, half-were, from all the trouble I get into. The thing is, my past is pretty messy and bad guys keep knocking down my door. Witches, thug bikers, the North American Council of Weres, dark magic Fae, and even an evil wizard are all after me. The Old Mage is the only one I really care about: He has my dear twin brother captive on the other side of the Gates of Merenwyn—not cool. So my alpha love is helping me to keep my promise to free my brother…
Unfortunately, everyone who helps me ends up in a heap of trouble too—including my Trowbridge. Now, I admit I've had my moments as a shivering coward, hoping he will come to my brave rescue. The whole Prince Charming thing is hard to shake. But these bad guys after me mean business and those damsel in distress days are over. You know that "last straw" metaphor? That was two straws ago. It's now or never. Again…
Dinner at the Trowbridge Manse
Approximately two hours after I sent my brother to Merenwyn—Robson Trowbridge pushed away his dinner plate and knuckled his red-rimmed eyes. There wasn't much left on the chicken carcass. The bones had been picked clean.
He ate a whole bird. On his own.
I poured another measure of maple syrup into my bowl. Not too much, just enough to coat the bottom of it. I was saving some space for the white chocolate macadamia nut cookies that sat on the counter.
"You need to sleep," I said quietly. My mate was all cheekbones and blue eyes now that he'd lopped off his dreads from hell. It made his skin look thin and taut, and only served to emphasize the blue smudges under the line of his thick black lashes.

Vienna, Austria (SPX) Jun 20, 2012
Finding new particles usually requires high energies - that is why huge accelerators have been built, which can accelerate particles to almost the speed of light. But there are other creative ways of finding new particles: At the Vienna University of Technology, scientists presented a method to prove the existence of hypothetical "axions".
These axions could accumulate around a black hole and extract energy from it. This process could emit gravity waves, which could then be measured.
Axions are hypothetical particles with a very low mass. According to Einstein, mass is directly related to energy, and therefore very little energy is required to produce axions. "The existence of axions is not proven, but it is considered to be quite likely", says Daniel Grumiller.
Together with Gabriela Mocanu he calculated at the Vienna University of Technology (Institute for Theoretical Physics), how axions could be detected.
Astronomically Large Particles
The results of Grumiller and Mocanu, based on works by Asmina Arvanitaki and Sergei Dubovsky (USA/Russia), show that axions can circle a black hole, similar to electrons circling the nucleus of an atom.
Instead of the electromagnetic force, which ties the electrons and the nucleus together, it is the gravitational force which acts between the axions and the black hole.
The Boson-Cloud
They can create a "boson-cloud" surrounding the black hole. This cloud continuously sucks energy from the black hole and the number of axions in the cloud increases.
Sudden Collapse
The exciting thing about such a collapse is that this "bose-nova" could be measured. This event would make space and time vibrate and emit gravity waves. Detectors for gravity waves have already been developed, in 2016 they are expected to reach an accuracy at which gravity waves should be unambiguously detected.
The new calculations in Vienna show that these gravity waves can not only provide us with new insights about astronomy, they can also tell us more about new kinds of particles.

That would be the root of McAdam if the story of Adam Mac Geargair was true.
Though as usual nothing is clear, the Greirson turn out not to be related to the
Mac Geargair of Siol Alpine as the legend describes. Though I now see at the
MacAdam project a possible M222 from Waterhead which may be the one East

Edward Elgar
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Edward Elgar (1857-1934) was an English composer, rap artist, and fighter pilot. His most famous work was the 1990 collaboration with Bart Simpson Do the Bartman.
edit Military Career
In 1914 Elgar joined the British Air Force, quickly rising to the position of Moustached Bisexual Wing Commander with the 12th division lead by Major Gustav Holst. His most famous achievement was shooting down a Blue Whale, which was trying to gain access to the Prime-minister's residency through an upper window. For this service he was award a Ford Focus.
edit Musical Career
Elgar was a composer well known for his revolutionary techniques such as using the outlawed time signature 3/4. In his orchestral composition Enigma Variations. Elgar dedicated each variation to a personal friend. These include; No. 4 Michael Schumacher, No. 7 Michael Buble, and No. 14 Lenin. Elgar's symphonies are rubbish.. FACT. Along with Schoenberg and Berg, Elgar founded the 2nd Viennese School, but was thrown out for being to experimental.
edit Elgar's work in Popular Culture?
edit Most popular compositions:
Elgar's work is too dissonant to ever achieve popularity amongst any but musical terrorists.
edit The Man; The Tash
Elgar's facial hair was declared 4th wonder of the ancient world in 1917. His moustache was so large that the British Government made it a listed building; meaning that to remove it was a criminal offence.


text: Some time ago, a good friend told me that sometimes they feel guilty when worshiping. Some days they love it, singing and clapping and embracing the joyfulness of worship. Other times, though, they don't want to sing at all, and when they try, they feel guilty. The song is not true to their present experience with God, and so they wonder if they should even sing it at all. I myself have felt this at times–I suspect that most Christians have. We don't always feel like worshiping God, and it feels weird to try… almost dishonest. Continue reading Naked, Shivering Worship

Hello my name is Jessica Chapman. I am a mother of 3 wonderful children. Their names are Jayden Payton and Jordynn. I love to go shopping and spend as much time with them as possible. My goal in life is to find the best job possible and support them so that can have a wonderful life. I have been out of school for 5 years when I graduated high school. I have never been a school person, but knew I had to go back in order to finacially be able to support my children. My goal is to get my medical assistant degree and find a job, and then start my nursing degree. The kids and I love to go swimming and playing. We have a movie night once a week. we gather up a bunch of junk food and pick out 2 movies and just lay aroun d and watch them.

My name is Nick Fleder, and I'm a new contributor to THT Fantasy. I've been playing fantasy baseball all my life, really (it's been a short life so far), and it's no less than an obsession. This is all very exciting for me, and I'd love to see feedback, comments, criticism, quips, love/hate mail in the comment section and via e-mail. Hit me up at nick DOT fleder AT gmail DOT com.
Drafting is where the magic happens. Yes, it's important to hit, and hit big, on your first few selections. Whether it be a first round pick in a snake draft or a big $40 stud in an auction, it's important to get your core right. But it's not enough to assemble a few superstars and mid-round sleepers if you waste your late picks on middling and dwindling veterans.
Much like the GMs in actual baseball, smart owners will search for the market inefficiencies. They will try to avoid the overvalued and assemble a winning team in whatever way they see fit, even if some of the decisions are instinctive.
One approach I often use is nabbing bullpen arms with good WHIP and ERA stats. While I supplement the one or two aces (Cliff Lee, for example) on my staff with a bunch of crappy NL-only level starters to chase wins (Chris Narveson), I might be able to undo any collateral damage by picking up three or four good bullpen arms in my 10-player supplemental draft. After all, a Mike Adams or three can be as valuable as an ace.
But the most glaring fantasy baseball market inefficiency is the rookie player. Here are some offensive rookie stats from the last two years you may be familiar with:
Name (Year) HR RBI Runs Batting Average Stolen Bases F. Freeman (2011) 21 76 67 0.282 4 D. Espinosa (2011) 21 66 72 0.236 17 J. Heyward (2010) 18 72 83 0.277 11 G. Sanchez (2010) 19 85 72 0.273 5 I. Desmond (2010) 10 65 59 0.269 17
*Note: Eric Hosmer, Starlin Castro, and other midseason pickups were omitted because owners in re-draft leagues couldn't have reasonably expected a midseason call-up.
Things you may have observed:
1) This is a stellar crop of rookies from the last two years, who…
2) All had opening day jobs at the beginning of the 2010 or 2011 season…
Things you may not have observed:
1) How low their average draft positions were…
2) Who was selected near our rookies at hand in a snake draft:
Name (Rookie Year) ADP* Drafted Within Five Spots F. Freeman (2011) 213 Daniel Bard D. Espinosa (2011) 308 Jose Lopez J. Heyward (2010) 222 Joba Chamberlain G. Sanchez (2010) N/A N/A I. Desmond (2010) 320 Jason Marquis
*ADP taken from Mock Draft Central for 2010 numbers, and The Fantasy Fix for 2011 numbers
The same trend holds true for pitchers, too. Their stats are useful at worst…:
Name (Year) Wins ERA WHIP Strikeouts J. Hellickson (2011) 13 2.95 1.15 117 M. Pineda (2011) 9 3.74 1.10 173 I. Nova (2011) 16 3.70 1.33 98 W. Davis (2010) 12 4.07 1.35 113 B. Matusz (2010) 10 4.30 1.34 143
…but their Average Draft Position reflects very little to no cost on Draft Day.
Name (Rookie Year) ADP Drafted Within Five Spots J. Hellickson (2011) 165 Phil Hughes I. Nova (2011) N/A N/A M. Pineda (2011) 342 Miguel Olivo W. Davis (2010) 232 Aaron Harang B. Matusz (2010) 243 Jason Frasor
There are, of course, a couple of things to note:
1) Hellickson is an example of a rarity: A hyped rookie pitcher with a job wrapped up since the previous September who shot up the ADP rankings and was picked in the 16th round (at the earliest). Compared to the ADP of the other rookie pitchers examined here, this may seem high. But the 16th round isn't exactly full of stars. Guys picked in the same vicinity included Joe Nathan, Rajai Davis, Brad Lidge, Ryan Franklin, Matt Thornton, Ian Stewart, and Brett Myers. Play the upside here, but especially…
2) …In the 23rd and 24th rounds, and so on (if you even have that many rounds). The ESPN Player Rater is imperfect but sheds some light as to actual production in comparison to draft position. (Unfortunately, ESPN seems to be lax about archiving Average Draft Position and Player Rater tools, so we'll examine 2011 rookies drafted whose Player Rater totals are still readily avaliable.)
Name ADP Player Rater by Position J. Hellickson (2011) 165 25th I. Nova (2011) N/A 66th M. Pineda (2011) 342 37th F. Freeman (2011) 213 18th D. Espinosa (2011) 308 13th
As you see, starting pitching and first base were deep this year. But every league I've ever seen has, at a minimum, nine pitchers spots and room for at least three first basemen (First Base, Corner Infield, Utility). If you can identify rookies over the winter and in March who will have full-time jobs in April, do yourself a favor and spend a late pick on them.
The Hellicksons of the world are few and far between (the ultra-hyped Heyward went in the 22nd round on average in all drafts conducted before April 2010), but have the potential to pay off substantially, and the Freemans and Espinosas of the world only further illustrate that point.
Craig Kimbrel is another glowing example. A quick look at ESPN Standard League Live Draft Results will leave you with this of mind-blowing number: Kimbrel went for $4.1 in the average league. Yes, Jonny Venters was on the horizon (Kimbrel, the righty, should have been seen as the clear favorite for save oppurtunities), but the kid was in line for at least a share of the saves in Atlanta and had a 17.4 K/9 in 20 innings the previous September.
His low draft position is rookie bias, and it's heartbreaking for those who missed on him. Sure, some rookies flop, but considering risk versus reward, it's silly to ignore first-year talent that has ample playing time. We study the past to learn from our mistakes at times, so don't make the mistake of passing up the $4 rookie to spend your money on a lower upside Vladimir Guerrero ($4.1 on ESPN). Take a chance on the rook.

Costello Syndrome – Tiered Molecular Testing
|Costello syndrome
|Gene Names
|Tier 1: HRAS – first coding exon (exon 2)
Tier 2: HRAS – remaining exons (exons 3-5) including both splice variants for exon 4
Full Panel: Tiers 1 and 2 (full sequencing of coding region, exons 2-5)
|Clinical info
|Costello syndrome is characterized by intellectual disability, coarse facial features, feeding difficulties, failure to thrive, loose fold of skin (especially on the hands and feet), joint flexibility, short stature, cardiac anomalies and papilomas around the mouth, nose and perianal regions.
|Tiers may be ordered separately or can be run as a concurrent panel. If you are requesting multiple tiers, but would like each run separately, please indicate the order if which testing should be done. Molecular testing is useful to confirm the diagnosis and to identify the disease causing mutation within a family to allow for carrier testing and prenatal diagnosis.
|Associated Tests
|The features of Costello syndrome are often found to overlap with those of Noonan syndrome and Cardio-Facio-Cutaneous (CFC) syndrome. Tiered analyses for each of those conditions is also available. In addition, this gene is included in the NGS RASopathy Panel.
|Costello syndrome is caused by mutations within the HRAS gene with approximately 80-90% of mutations found in the first coding exon (often called exon 2 in the literature).
|Specimen Requirements
|5 to 10 ml of peripheral blood collected in an EDTA (lavender top) Vacutainer tube is preferred. The minimal blood needed for reliable DNA isolation is 3 ml
|The specimen should be kept at room temperature and delivered via overnight shipping. FedEx is preferred. If shipment is delayed by one or two days, the specimen should be refrigerated and shipped at room temperature. Do not freeze the specimen. Samples collected on Friday can be safely designated for Monday delivery.
|Turnaround time
|Tier 1: 2 weeks
Tier 2: 6 weeks
|Prenatal testing
|Prenatal diagnosis is available if the familial mutation is known. Additional fees for cell culture and maternal cell contamination may apply. Maternal cell contamination studies are required for all prenatal molecular tests. Contact the laboratory prior to sending a prenatal specimen.
|CPT Codes
|Unknown mutation
Tier 1: 81403
Tier 2: 81479
Full Panel (Tier 1 and 2 run simultaneously): 81404
Known mutation: 81403
Deletion/Duplication Analysis: 81405
|$300 for Tier 1
$400 for Tier 2
$700 for Full Panel
$350 for known mutation
$700 for deletion/duplication analysis
Prenatal diagnosis for known mutation is $1000. Please contact the laboratory for more information.

Antique Silver Plate is DIFFERENT and BETTER than modern silver plate
In 1840 the electrochemical deposition of silver onto base metals was invented by a company called Elkington of Birmingham, England. This technique was very suitable for use in the new factories being set up to manufacture objects to satisfy demand created by the great wealth of mid Victorian Britain. Early electroplating was on nickel and produced many fine objects, which are now becoming more and more sought after by collectors.Electroplating can usually be recognized since the process deposits pure silver rather than sterling silver (which is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper). Many pieces were struck with pseudo-hallmarks and, to avoid confusion, this was made illegal in 1896 and pieces had to be marked EPNS for 'electroplated nickel silver'.
There was no legal requirement to mark electroplated goods so the system of hallmarking described elsewhere does not apply. So it is often quite difficult to precisely date an electroplated item. However some makers, such as Elkington & Co., actually marked their pieces with a date letter which is very helpful when deciding on their age. Most of the time electroplated pieces are dated based on their style and the way they are made, and this can lead to a fairly accurate circa date within 5 to 10 years either side.http://www.bryandouglas.co.uk

georgina avila….events captured with international flair!
18th April, 2011 - Posted by Lia - 1 Comment
We are so lucky to have such a talented internationally renowned photographer here in Montreal. Georgina Avila's photos speak for themselves. Please enjoy this latest addition on Montreal Wedding Photographers!
How long have you been a photographer?
I have ten years of experience in the visual arts media including graphic design and photography. I have had the honour of being internationally awarded in both fields several times.
How did you develop a passion for photography?
It all started when I was quite young! At 8 years of age I remember carrying a camera with me and the passion has been with me ever since. Later on when I studied graphic design at the National School of Arts in Mexico City I realized that it was a better way for me to illustrate and express my ideas and vision. I took my photography onto another level. I realized I could capture so many moments in such a creative and "immediate" way. I could capture the "here and now" and was able to communicate my intentions and emotions to the world thus creating more awareness in our society and social change.
What other genres apart from weddings do you do?
Documentary and everyday life, portraits, events (baptisms, etc), fashion, creative, street photography. I am about to release my first book that portrays the "Street Vendors" and "Small Trades" people lives in Mexico City. In addition to the book I am about to release a photo exhibition along with it's website. All these plans will take fruition this summer.
What's your style of photography?
Creative, spontaneous, strong concepts and always trying to open people's minds to new ideas , encouraging and inspiring them to follow their dreams and passions.
Do you do destination weddings? If you could have a destination wedding where would it be?
I do destination wedding, I have done it in Mexico (Playa de Carmen), Toronto and Quebec and I am always open to discuss any destination! My team will be always happy to explore new horizons.
Any advice for brides on choosing a photographer?
What is really important is the chemistry and the communication between the photographer and the bride and groom. To be comfortable and open in order to achieve the best results. I am always opened to new ideas and questions. Of course that creates a great atmosphere that reflects in the photographs. A good photographer will always adapt to the needs of his clients while keeping his unique style and point of view.
Where is your favourite location to take wedding photos in Montreal?
Old Montreal will always be a great location! Canal Lachine is gorgeous beside the canal. Montreal has many different areas where you can go depending on what you want to achieve, the character of the client and of course other factors such as the seasons and weather. Mile End is beautiful, the mountain Mont Royal during autumn is stunning… Any location is fine as long as you capture the LOVE and the MAGIC!
Any words of wisdom for a bride on her wedding day?
After so much work planning and running to arrive to this unique and special day, please just ENJOOOOOY!!
Please visit Georgina's websites for more information and photos:

Such examples are the Roman soldiers gambling over Christs garment, the mockery of St. Michael the Archangel, driving Satan out of Heaven by stepping on him and pointing his sword onto him. Now we see this reversed, when the inaugurated Antichrist is doing that to St. Michael. I prefer the term Dark Emperor - not Antichrist, for the battle of light and shadow reaches back far beyond Christianity. We also witness the inauguration of the Dark Emperor in the Temple of the Baphomet, seeing him taking the oath as the new sovereign while celebrating a mockery of the Last Supper. The story culminates in the Dark Emperor showing up in front of his followers, bringing out blessings. The Empire of Darkness is then established. The overall look of the video is a bow to the legendary, unique style of Roger Corman, especially his adaptation of The Masque of The Red Death, featuring the unforgettable Vincent Price. www.hammerfilms.com This lifts the clip to an additional meta-level: The mockery of using an early 60s technique to visualize The Sacrilegious Scorn for a present day audience.

text: For 1977 Dallas Cowboys, Pearson gave meaning to third-down back Posted Sunday, Apr. 18, 2010 By JAN HUBBARD In football vernacular, a variety of words exist to describe a multi-purpose back like former Cowboy Preston Pearson. Descriptions such as shifty, elusive, slippery, wily -- all captured the essence of Pearson, who played with the Cowboys for six years. His arrival in Dallas in 1975 marked a change for the Tom Landry-Tex Schramm-Gil Brandt administration. The Cowboys believed in developing their own, drafting and nurturing and then reaping the benefits. But Pearson was not only a free agent, he had also played the previous five years for the hated Steelers, who had defeated the Cowboys in the Super Bowl only a few months before Pearson signed a contract with Dallas.
