The South-African-based company unveiled its ambitious plan after reporting adjusted headline earnings of $US129 million ($143 million) or US35¢ a share for the June second quarter, up from $US61 million, US17¢ a share the previous period. The new target would take output up to 5.7 million ounces based on its current guidance.
Headline earnings are the key profit measure in South Africa, stripping out some one-off and non-trading items.
Analysts had forecast strong results for AngloGold and its South African peers, as higher output and gold prices offset increased electricity tariffs and a new revenue-based royalty charge.
"This is the kind of earnings growth we can generate when our operations start firing on all cylinders,'' AngloGold chief executive Mark Cutifani said.
"With that performance and a strong gold price as we continue to reduce the hedge book, medium to long-term cash generation potential is significant."
AngloGold, which is also listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, produced 1.126 million ounces in the June quarter, up 4 per cent over the previous three-month period. Cash costs were largely unchanged at $US617 an ounce. The company expects to produce 1.15 million ounces in the third quarter at a total cash cost of $US645 an ounce.
The improved performance was attributed to a recovery in production at AngloGold's South African operations and Iduapriem in Ghana, the continued turnaround at Cripple Creek and Victor in the US and Geita in Tanzania, as well as a strong operating performance from Cerro Vanguardia in Argentina.
As part of AngloGold's goal to lift production by one million ounces, it said, its Americas unit planned to increase annual output by more than 40 per cent to 1.2 million ounces by 2014 from expansions in Brazil, Argentina and the US. In Australia, where a decision to build the Tropicana mine is expected by year-end, production is set to grow to 700,000 ounces from current levels of around 390,000 ounces .
If Tropicana is approved, construction could begin in early 2011, and first gold production would come in the first half of 2013.
Meanwhile, AngloGold's average gold price received during the quarter rose 8 per cent to $US1,095 an ounce, an 8.6 per cent discount to the average spot price over the period of $US1,198 an ounce. South African gold producers sell their gold in US dollars and pay their costs in rand.
AngloGold said it continues to improve the strength of its balance sheet, with the increase in operating cash flow and the two-part, $US2 billion debt package finalised in May, which comprised a renewed revolving credit facility of $1 billion as well as a $US300 million 30-year bond and a $US700 million 10 year bond.
AngloGold reported a loss attributable to equity shareholders of $US187 million compared with a profit of $US157 million for the previous quarter. The company reduced its overall hedge commitments during the period by 330,000 ounces to 3.22 million ounces.
The June quarter includes unrealised losses on non-hedge derivatives of $380 million pre-tax, compared with a profit of $82 million pre-tax in the previous quarter.

Both a camper and 5-panel are now available through the ONLY NY webstore, retailing for $60 USD.
Cone Mills, was a world leader in textile manufacturing of corduroy, flannel, and denim for most of the 20th century.

Fondant Figure With Photo Face?
Decorating By WalkersNC Updated 21 Oct 2013 , 2:49am by johnbailey64
I'm making a construction site cake for my 3 year old grandson, and I'd like to make fondant drivers for the vehicles with his sweet face on them. Is there anyone here who knows how to get the photo head shot transferred onto the fondant figure's "head?" Thanks in advance!
Doesn't sound easy, especailly if the figures are small and 3D. But if they had a flattened face, printed ricepaper or icing sheet - maybe.

He expected to find them useful while bird-nesting on the marshes.
Well, he did, a bit: then he and Jem Morris went off bird-nesting.
We must not now go a bird-nesting, but first time we do we shall put Bishop Mant's "Months" in our pocket.
Besides, the bird-nesting boys might be dangerous if they knew where it was.
They live upon roots, fruits, and leaves; and do not amuse themselves by bird-nesting.
Winter, strange as it may seem, is an excellent season for bird-nesting.
Three years later he joined the boys in their bird-nesting exploits, and climbed trees to share the plunder.
And as for bird-nesting—well, I only wish the twentieth-century boy could see us.
Could the cross, crop-eared old Puritan ever have been like other boys, and gone a bird-nesting?
Julian began to tell about bird-nesting over there when he was a boy.

DAVIDSON, NC -- The South Carolina Vending Association's is putting the finishing touches on plans for its 23rd annual SCVA Winter Training Conference. It will be held Jan. 21-23 (Fri.-Sun.) at the Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston, SC.
The early bird $99 plus tax hotel rate for operator members ends on Wednesday, Dec. 15; after that the regular SCVA rate of $119 applies. Register online or call (877) 756-2121 (enter group code SCVA).
The conference gets underway on Friday morning, Jan. 21, with SCVA's annual meeting and an update from National Automatic Merchandising Association vice-president of government affairs Ned Monroe on the new federal nutritional labeling laws and what they mean to the vending industry.
SCVA lobbyist Tom Sponseller will follow with a state legislative report, after which he and Monroe will coach SCVA members on how to effectively communicate with their representatives and encourage them to make decisions that ensure equitable treatment for the vending industry.
After the morning sessions, the 10th annual Don Head Memorial Golf Tournament will be held at Wescott Plantation. A box lunch will be served before the 12:30 p.m. shotgun start.
On Saturday morning, Mark Manney of Loss Prevention Results (Wake Forest, NC) will lead an eye-opening session on "Ripping the Mask off Internal Theft." A panel discussion entitled "Coffee -- Get it While it's Hot!" will follow; two manufacturer representatives and three OCS operators will share their insight on growth opportunities, maximizing efficiency, bolstering profitability and leveraging technology.
A group outing on Saturday afternoon to the historic H.L. Hunley, a local tourist attraction, will offer a history lesson on the nation's first submarine to engage and sink a warship. Hunley engaged and destroyed the Union warship Housatonic off Charleston in 1864.
Conference-goers will unwind at a cocktail reception, followed by NCVA's popular dinner banquet and silent auction.
A keynote breakfast concludes the program on Sunday morning, with a presentation by Dr. Rick Brewer, Charleston Southern University's vice-president of student affairs, athletics and ministry, which promises to leave SCVA member recharged and inspired.
In lieu of a registration fee, SCVA is asking operator members to donate a silent auction prize. Nonmember operators pay $150 to register. Non-sponsoring suppliers pay $400 to attend: sponsoring supplier registration fees vary based on sponsorship amount. Call (704) 400-0880 or email email@example.com.

Johnny Depp and his longtime girlfriend Vanessa Paradis have agreed to separate "amicably," a publicist for the Hollywood A-lister has confirmed.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star and the French singer and actress have been together for 14 years, although rumours of trouble have been circulating for some time, leading to Paradis denying a split in January.
"Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis have amicably separated. Please respect their privacy and, more importantly, the privacy of their children," a Depp publicist told celebrity TV show Entertainment Tonight.
The publicist, Robin Baum, confirmed the statement to AFP.
The couple, who divide their time between France and the United States, have two children aged 10 and 13 but have never married.
In January, Paradis flatly denied a split, telling French Canal+ television station:"The rumour is false, of course it is false .. It's a rumour that could really damage my family," she added.
One day earlier she had joked about the rumours, saying: "As soon as I eat three peas, I'm pregnant... As soon as I visit a town, I'm buying a house... I separate in the winter, in the summer I get married.
"I've been getting married every year for 15 years! If on top of everything else I have to respond to every rumour," the French star told Europe 1 radio.
Depp has had a number of celebrity partners over the years, and has been engaged to four: Sherilyn Fenn, Jennifer Grey, Winona Ryder and Kate Moss, according to the IMDb movie industry website.
The 49-year-old - whose latest film is Tim Burton's Dark Shadows, and who is lined up for a fifth Pirates of the Caribbean outing - was married to Lori Anne Allison in 1983 but divorced in 1985.
He and Paradis began dating in 1998, and she gave birth to Lily-Rose Melody in 1999 and Jack in 2002.
Paradis, 39, is more famous in France than abroad. She began as a model and singer before branching into movies. Her films include 1999's La Fille sur le Pont (Girl on the Bridge) and, more recently, last year's Cafe de Flore.
She and Depp previously split their time between a home in the Hollywood Hills and a farm in the south of France, while they have also owned apartments in Paris, Manhattan and in the Bahamas, according to IMDb.

Call! 1 (800) 847-7885
New carpet can improve the appearance of any room, but how can carpet that is walked on every day continue looking new? To keep your carpet clean, it's necessary to steam clean periodically on top of vacuuming regularly. Unfortunately, due to traffic, children, pets and normal wear, carpet fibers inevitably become soiled, and a dull appearance results. And no matter how much you vacuum, eventually you will need to call a professional carpet cleaner.
Importance of Regular Cleaning
Regular professional cleaning using a Certified Firm is as important to your carpet as having a trained mechanic perform routine tune-ups on your car. While your carpet may appear clean on the surface, periodic cleaning by a certified technician can remove what you can't see and help your carpet retain its fresh, beautiful appearance.
Free Estimates
What to Expect
•Please be sure to notify your technician of any spots that you are aware of so that we can be pro-active in getting rid of them.
•While not all of our trucks require it, occasionally we will need to use your water. When needed, we will require access to an outside water spigot.
•Although we will move and return all furniture (with the exception of pianos, china cabinets, multimedia equipment, and aquariums) to its original position, we ask that you move all breakables from the cleaning area.
•Typical carpet drying time is 3-6 hours. During this time it may be a good idea to keep small children and pets off the carpet, as well as street shoes that can soil the carpet. Please refrain from rearranging any furniture for at least 24 hours after cleaning to minimize the incidence of carpet varnish stains.
•Our cleaning process is safe for any properly installed carpet. If you are aware of any installation problems, please make us aware of these problems so that we may take extra precautions.
Call our friendly stuff today
We pride ourselves in the quality of our carpet cleaning services. From Stain Removal to Pet odor Elimination, we do it all. Our work is professionally completed by friendly, certified technicians using today's finest truck mounted cleaning units.

That wasn't quite as many as Doug Baldwin at 3.6, but just further evidence of how deep this team is at receiver. It was however Golden Tate that led the team in routes run with 31. - Both Charles Johnson and Hardy had four quarterback disruptions.

RECAP: The Wheels of Change Are Turning on DOWNTON ABBEY - Ep. 5
Though lucky in land, Daisy is still unlucky in love. Cupid continues to aim his bow in all the
wrong directions downstairs. Ivy attracts Alfred's attention by wearing rouge, but is outright rejected by Jimmy. Meanwhile, Daisy and Jimmy find themselves the object of Carson's outrage when he catches them dancing the foxtrot. Alfred escapes his reprimand by mere seconds, as it was he who had asked Daisy to teach him the dance step, though sadly only for the purpose of impressing Ivy. More notably, O'Brien's scheme is slowly coming to light. It appears that she is egging Thomas on in his affections for Jimmy when she knows very well that the footman is uncomfortable with Thomas' overfamiliarity.
One bit of change that all the Crawleys can agree is positive is that Anna and Mr. Murray finally manage Bates' release. But not before overcoming one final tribulation. When the lawyer visits Mrs. Bartlett, she refuses to corroborate the evidence needed to overturn the verdict. Bates, hearing this news, suspects his former roommate and his crooked guard friend are behind her change of tune. He has a plan to set things right, but Anna fears he might jeopardize his
exoneration doing so. And rightly so. With the prospect of freedom at his fingertips, Bates' temper overcomes him. Using a makeshift weapon, he threatens Craig, saying he will tell the Governor that he and Durrant are smuggling drugs into the prison. Fearful that this will prolong his sentence and lose Durrant his job, Craig arranges for Mrs. Bartlett to change her testimony. At long last, Anna receives a letter informing her that her husband's release is imminent. And the Crawleys, yearning for some good news, are all overjoyed to hear that he will be returning to Downton. But what does this mean for Thomas? Between O'Brien's plotting and the former valet's return, are Mr. Barrow's days at the big house numbered?
With the encouraging news of Bates' freedom, Robert goes with Cora to visit his mother. When they arrive, they are met by Dr. Clarkson, who has some information to share. He tells them he had misled them to believe that, had he been allowed to operate on Sybil, he would have been able to save her from the effects of eclampsia, when in fact, "in all likelihood she would have died anyway." The truth of this statement is dubious, as Violet had previously asked the doctor to make this admission in order to reconcile the couple. Dr. Clarkson at that point believed that it would be a lie to do so, but agreed to do some research into the matter. Whether he found information that changed his mind or Violet persuaded him that the truth was less important than Robert and Cora's relationship is unclear. Regardless of the reason, his confession softens Cora to her husband's remorse and the two finally grieve together. Perhaps with the support of his wife again, Robert will be better prepared to face the changes ahead.
What will go down at Downton Abbey next week? Where will Tom go to build a new life and will he bring his daughter with him? Will Daisy agree to take over Mr. Mason's farm? Will she and Jimmy be dancing the Charleston next? Tune in Sunday, February 10 at 9 PM ET/CT on PBS
to find out.

| MSHA's Accident Prevention Program
Miner's Tip
Roof Bolter Drill Boom Tip
|Mine Type: Underground Coal
|Category: Section Face Equipment, Roof & Rib
|Mine Type:
A roof bolter operator was injured when the mounting brackets for the boom lift jack failed, causing it to fall and strike him on the leg. The boom lift jack failed because some of the bolts holding the mounting brackets had loosened and the other bolts had completely fallen out. He was using the drill chuck to tighten a roof bolt, instead of a wrench. The drill chuck got caught on the roof bolt. The roof bolter operator attempted to lower the drill boom but the lift jack rose instead of the boom lowering. When the drill chuck unfastened, the lift jack was not in place to hold the boom.
- Welded extensions should not be attached to the side of the drill head.
- Use a wrench when tightening roof bolts.
- Never put yourself underneath the drill boom unless it is blocked against motion.
- Avoid pinch points, especially near the boom, ATRS and canopy.
- Conduct a pre-operational inspection of the machine to ensure the lift jack mounting brackets are in place and the bolts holding the brackets are tight.
- Conduct a pre-operational inspection check of the hydraulic hoses and fittings.
- Use personal protective equipment.

Remember Shake and Bake? I loved shake & bake nights when I was a kid! I reckon its all the flour, bread crumbs and "seasonings" that made it great. Well, I say we can enjoy that again. Key word? Almond Meal.
Almond and Herb Crusted Pork Chops
serves 4
3-4 boneless pork chops (I prefer the thick cuts)
1/2 cup of Almond Meal
1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan Cheese
1 tbsp of herbes de provence
Salt and pepper
1. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and set aside
2. Combine almond meal, shredded cheese and herbs in a bowl and mix completely.
3. Firmly pack the almond meal mixture on to the pork chops.
4. Place them on a baking sheet with a wire rack. Set aside for at least 10 minutes or the coating will slip off during cooking.
5. Bake at 375 for 40 - 45 minutes (until the internal temp. reaches 160 degrees. Flip the chops over at 30 minute mark to ensure even browning.
6. When the chops reach the internal temp of 160 degrees, let it rest for 10 minutes (so the juices can settle not to mention it will continue to cook to reach 170 degrees for safety)
Swiss Chard
2 bunches of swiss chard
1 medium sized onions (sliced)
3 cloves of garlic minced
3 tablsp red wine vinegar
2 oz of salted pork (I use the salted pork instead of oil. I think it brings a porky goodness to the table without the over powering smokiness of the bacon. You can skip this all together and use olive oil or coconut oil)
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Remove the stem from the chard
2. Chop the chard into 1 inch wide strips
3. Soak and wash the chard few times to wash off dirt & drain in a colander
4. Chop the onions in to thin strips (Frenched)
5. Mince the garlic
6. Slice the salted pork in to lardons
7. Heat a 12 inch skillet to med high heat and render the fat from the pork
8. When the pork is cook to crisp, add the onion and garlic and cook to translucent (3-4 minutes)
9. Add the chard to the mix, don't worry it will loose about 50 percent of its volume
10. When the Chard is cook though, add the vinegar and scrape off the fond
11. Cook a bit more till most of the liquid has evaporated
You can substitute the pork for fish or beef or even lamb. Possibilities are endless.
Happy eating. - Robert.

A lot of what people claim to be copyrighted really isn't.
A work's copyright protection can only be extended to those parts of a work
that are original to the author. When the author clothes facts or ideas
with an original description or other original collection of words, then
this written expression may be protected. However, the underlying facts or
ideas may be copied by others, but not the precise words used to present
them. If a compiler adds no written expression and only lets the facts
speak for themselves, the protection of copyright may only be extended to
the originality of the selection and/or arrangement, if there is any
One aspect of this that is often misunderstood is that the copyright of
a work in no way can have an impact on the status of pre-existing material.
If the work contains information that is in the public domain or is
copyrighted by another individual, then that portion of the work is still
in the public domain or still covered by the copyright of the other
individual, as the case may be. This is a very important point in
genealogy. The majority of information in any genealogical work is in the
public domain by virtue of being facts or presumed facts. The copyright
status of the work that they are contained in does not remove them from
being in the public domain. The facts contained in existing compilations,
which is what most genealogical works are, "may be freely copied because
copyright protects only the elements that owe their origin to the compiler
-- the selection, coordination, and arrangements of facts."
Failure to properly attribute sources is plagiarism. Plagiarism comes
from a latin word for "kidnapper." Using the ideas or words of others
without acknowledging the source is plagiarism. This is true even if the
ideas of someone else are paraphrased or summarized. In scholarly research,
plagiarism is considered unethical and dishonest.
Copyright is concerned with more than properly crediting sources.
Excessive use of another's original work, even if the source is properly
acknowledged, may be a copyright infringement. Plagiarism is abuse of
ideas and words from the work of someone else. Copyright is only concerned
with original expression. Ideas and words alone cannot be copyrighted
without originality.

The last chapter in the dispersal of Dean Fleming's Tyreel Stud was played out on Monday at the Inglis Australian Broodmare Sale, where a quality selection of mares proved attractive to buyers.
Situated at Agnes Banks, a short drive west of Sydney, Tyreel Stud was developed as an elite thoroughbred nursery under the ownership of the late Jim Fleming and produced superstars such as Bint Marscay, Filante and the globe-trotting sprinter Rocket Man.
Under the ownership of Dean Fleming, Tyreel continued to produce top-class horses, but was sold again earlier this year when Fleming decided to scale back his thoroughbred interests.
Twenty-two mares were sold by Tyreel Stud at this sale for $3,708,000, the top seller being stakes-winning Show A Heart mare Crossyourheart.
She fetched $480,000 to the bid of astute bloodstock agent Steve Brem and was in foal to Commands.
Tyreel Stud sold a spectacular Commands yearling filly from Crossyourheart at Inglis Easter this year for $600,000 to Darley, so if the foal she is carrying is anywhere near as good, her new owners will be laughing.
Group I-winning Redoute's Choice mare Dariana was the top-priced offering at the sale overall, despite being led from the ring unsold on Monday, when she was initially passed in.
Consigned for sale by Bell View Park Stud on the south coast, Dariana was bought on Tuesday following some private negotiation by Damon Gabbedy of Belmont Bloodstock, who paid $800,000 for the Queensland Derby winner on behalf of Perth owner-breeder Bob Peters
Peters confirmed Golden Slipper hero Pierro would be the next partner for Dariana, who had a positive test to Street Cry (IRE).
"She's [Dariana] a lovely mare for Pierro," Peters said. "He was an incredible racehorse – all speed and class, so I think he'll complement her beautifully.
"It's the reverse of the Redoute's Choice-Zabeel cross that has been hugely successful and I have enormous belief in Pierro as a young sire."
Other top sellers were group III winner Crafty Irna, which was offered in foal to Sebring and made $610,000, while group I winners Russeting and Mid Summer Music sold for $390,000 and $375,000 respectively and were in foal to So You Think and All Too Hard.
Inglis was delighted with the response to this revamped sale, which was moved for the first time from its traditional timeslot on the back of the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.
"Innovation is always at the forefront of our minds at Inglis and we are very pleased that moving the broodmares from Easter and Sydney weanlings from June into one streamlined sale in May has been a winner for both vendors and buyers," Inglis managing director Mark Webster said.

It calls for calabrian oregano on the branch, which if you can get from your local Italian food store, is always worth the effort.
In certain respects the earthquake of 1908 presented much resemblance to the great calabrian catastrophe of 1783.
Take it from me, it was a put-up job by that calabrian woman.
The elder calabrian, whom they addressed as Cristofano, asked for a glass of aqua vit, which he handed respectfully to me.
He was a calabrian, and as early as 1552 was professor of medicine at Perugia.
He landed at Melito on the 24th of August, and threw himself at once, with his followers, into the calabrian mountains.
Derossi embraced the calabrian, saying in his clear voice, "Welcome!"
I was very glad, Miss Fitzpatrick, when our calabrian friends were duly sent to the galleys.
Yesterday he complained to the master, because the calabrian touched his leg with his foot.
A thousand years ago every nook and cranny in the calabrian mountains had its Greek hermit.

To confront America's health care crisis, we do not need more spending, more regulations or more bureaucracy. We do need to liberate every American, including every doctor and every patient, to use their intelligence, creativity and innovative abilities to make the changes needed to create access to low-cost, high-quality health care, says John C. Goodman, President, CEO and the Kellye Wright Fellow with the National Center for Policy Analysis.
One step that could achieve this goal is to free doctors, says Goodman.
Medicare pays for more than 7,000 specific tasks, and only for those tasks. Blue Cross, employer plans and most other insurers pay the same way. Notably absent from this list are such important items as talking to patients by telephone or e-mail, or teaching patients how to manage their own care or helping them become better consumers in the market for drugs. Further, as third-party payers suppress reimbursement fees, doctors find it increasingly difficult to spend any time on unbillable services. This is unfortunate, since it means that doctors cannot provide the type of low-cost, high-quality services that are normal in other professions.
To make matters worse, providers often face perverse incentives, says Goodman. When they lower costs and raise the quality of care, their income typically goes down, not up.
For example:
- Geisinger Health System in central Pennsylvania gives heart patients a "warranty" on their surgeries.
- Patients who have to be readmitted because of complications pay nothing for the second admission.
- Whereas most hospitals make money on their mistakes, the warranty forces Geisinger's staff to provide higher quality care (to avoid readmissions) but lowers Geisinger's income from Medicare and other payers.
To change these perverse incentives, says Goodman:
- Medicare should be willing to pay for innovative improvements that save taxpayers money.
- And doctors and hospitals should be able to repackage and reprice their services (the way other professionals do), provided that the total cost to government does not increase and the quality of care does not decrease.
This change in Medicare would almost certainly be followed by similar changes in the private sector, says Goodman.

The leaflets spell out a personal appeal from the family of Ken Bigley, asking for him to be released unharmed.
The pamphlets will be given out in Baghdad, where Mr Bigley and two colleagues were taken last Thursday.
The three were captured at gunpoint and Americans Eugene Armstrong and Jack Hensley have since been killed.
News of the leaflets came after Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said the UK was doing all it could to help get Mr Bigley released.
Family pleas
His wife Sombat, has begged the hostage-takers to free him.
Kidnappers from the Tawhid and Jihad Group, led by al-Qaeda suspect Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, say they will kill Mr Bigley unless the UK and US release all women held in Iraqi jails.
But the British government says it won't talk to the kidnappers, and the US says it will not allow woman scientist Dr Rihab Rashid Tahathe, held in Iraq, to be released.

How open is an open magnet? What is the weight
The Oasis High-Field 1.2T Open MRI is a Bore-less patient friendly open MRI that provides high image quality. Bore-less has always been the patient choice. The Oasis offers an unobstructed view for virtually every exam and is capable of scanning patients up to 660 lbs.. Even the most anxious patients are at ease – whether head or feet first, they can see out. The Oasis High-Field open MRI system at Longview Radiologists measures 3.5 feet (side to side opening), and 17 inches (top to bottom, height of opening)
I'm claustrophobic and anxious about having
an MRI examination.
The open MRI magnet provides superior patient comfort and a wide open-air design which helps to minimize claustrophobic effect. We also encourage you to have a loved-one or friend accompany you during the exam if this will make you more comfortable.
Is there any radiation involved in MRI?
There is no radiation involved. MRI uses a combination of radio frequencies and magnetic field to produce images.
Are there any reasons I can't have an MRI exam?
There are objects, particularly metal objects, that are incompatible with a strong magnetic field and they can have potentially harmful effects. You should check with your physician or MRI technologist if you have had any brain, ear, eye or other surgeries or any of the following: pacemakers, brain aneurysm clips, neuro or bone stimulators, surgical staples, implanted drug infusions devices, shrapnel or bullet wounds, BBs, metal fragments in the eye or permanent eyeliner.
What will I experience during the MRI? How long
will I be in the magnet? Do I have to hold still?
The MRI procedure will typically last anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the type of information required by the physician. The patient is easily observed by the technologist throughout the study and is able to speak to the technologist at any time. The only requirement is that the patient remain as still as possible during the exam. During the scan, the patient experiences nothing unusual. A variety of sounds, such as humming and thumping noises, will be heard as the scan progresses.
What do I wear?
You may be asked to wear patient scrubs to avoid magnetic interference from belt buckles and zippers. Because of the magnetic field, you will be asked to leave all metal objects outside the room such as coins, jewelry, watches, glasses, credit cards, hearing aides, keys, hair pins, or other metal objects. Secure, locked lockers are provided for our patient's belongings.
[ top of page ]
Are x-rays dangerous?
Radiation exposure from x-ray examinations today is minimal. Contemporary x-ray systems deliver a very brief and narrow beam of radiation. Exposure is reduced by limiting beam size and exposure utilizing lead shielding devices when appropriate and limited duration of the exposure.
Though pregnant patients or pregnant personnel are of concern with respect to radiation exposure, the American College of Radiology states that there is no single x-ray procedure that results in radiation exposure intense enough to threaten the well being of an embryo or fetus. When an examination can't be postponed until after delivery, the fetus can be protected by the use of lead shielding and coning techniques. Patients should inform the technologist if there is a possibility of pregnancy before the examination.
If you have concerns regarding the amount of radiation involved
in any of the tests we offer, please so not hesitate to contact
us at 360-425-5131.
What is contrast and is it harmful?
It is important to inform the technologist at the time of your examination or procedure if you have any history of reactions / allergies to a contrast agent such as x-ray dye, medications or substances such as latex.
Many X-ray, CT and MRI tests use 'contrast'. There are several different contrasts that improve the image. These may be taken by mouth or injected into a vein. X-ray contrast contains Iodine bound into a special compound. We use this to show blood vessels, kidneys, and other masses much more clearly - some structures cannot be shown any other way.
Unfortunately, there are occasionally some people who are sensitive, or allergic, to contrast. If you are, please let us know; precautions will be taken or an alternative test used. Most people will not be aware of any reaction to the contrast apart from a warm sensation and metallic taste which passes quickly. However, there is a very small subgroup of patients who will react in a more significant way.
Reactions usually will be in the form of a rash, but rarely there can be breathing problems and even cardiac arrest - the risk of the most severe reaction is between 1 in 40,000 and 1 in 100,000, and this can result in death. It is impossible to predict who will react to the contrast (unless you have had a previous reaction to contrast), although some people are at more risk, e.g. asthmatics and generally allergic people. Be assured that the modern contrast agents are among the safest medicines around.
At Longview Radiologists P.S., Inc we are alert to reactions and have emergency drugs available. All staff are trained in resuscitation.
Do I need to make an appointment?
General diagnostic exams, such as wrist, knees, ankles, etc. do not require appointments. We take these patients on a walk in basis. All other exams do require appointment times.
This allows us to serve you and other patients optimally without pressure. However, as we program into the day sessions for urgent cases, all that may be required is a phone call. We aim to be responsive. [ top of page ]
Do I need an order from my physician to have
an x-ray?
You will need a prescription from your physician for all diagnostic services performed at our imaging center.
Can I compare prices?
Please feel free to compare our prices with other radiology providers. We believe that we provide the best service, given our commitment to high quality equipment and staff.
Can I bring a friend?
We encourage you to bring a friend or family member. They can be a great comfort to you in a time of stress. However, depending on the exam they may not be able to be in the examination room as they will be exposed to unnecessary radiation. However, it is sometimes helpful for parents to accompany young children into the examination room and if possible we will facilitate that. Our Open MRI suite has a comfortable chair within a spacious room to allow you to be near your friend or family member during MRI examinations. Partners are always welcome to be present during pregnancy ultrasounds. We try to accommodate all requests so please ask and we will try to accommodate your wishes.
Do I see the radiologist?
This will depend on the type of examination. Some examinations are performed by the radiologist and others are performed by a technologist trained and registered in his/her particular specialty. A radiologist will interpret the films and a report will be sent to your referring physician so the results can be discussed with you.
Can I discuss the results of my test with the
It is preferable that you discuss the results of your x-ray with your referring clinician as your clinician has more knowledge of your illness. He/she can take into consideration your comprehensive clinical symptoms and findings, as well as lab tests and other results.
What if I need my films to take to a specialist?
At Longview Radiologists, P.S. Inc, not all imaging is processed on film, but we are happy to supply you with a copy of your films on request. However, all examinations are kept indefinitely on a large computer database. Top quality film copy can be produced from this at any stage as required by your specialist. You therefore have the assurance that, even if a set of films are lost in a consultation with a specialist, further copies of the same high quality can be produced from the computer archive. This is our commitment to providing you with a service of unsurpassed quality.
Can I have a picture of my baby's ultrasound?
We are happy to supply you with a picture of your baby's ultrasound. Longview Radiologists offers 3D fetal images which can be used to help bond parents with their fetus. Seeing their baby's picture for the first time can be a special and lasting moment for expectant parents.
Do I need to wear special clothes?
It is best to wear loose clothes as some tests require you to disrobe. We will provide you with patient scrubs or dressing gowns for your privacy.
How will my doctor get the results?
The report is faxed within 24 hours or less to your referring clinician. The original is either delivered by courier or mail depending on your clinician's location.
How will I find out my results?
It is important to discuss the results of your test with your health care provider after any examination or procedure. The results can then be compared with your overall health condition, which only your physician or practitioner can access for you.
Can I have a copy of the report?
A report is not usually forwarded to the patient as it is formulated for your clinician and is paraphrased in medical terminology. You are eligible under the Privacy Act to obtain a copy of the report. However, we advise you to obtain a copy from your clinician after discussing the implications of the test results with them.

Crab "soup Dumplings" (Dim Sum)
Recipe by Nose5775
Not soup with dumplings in it, but dumplings with soup in them. This is a famous kind of steamed dumpling for dim sum. You bite a little hole in the dumpling, then carefully sip the scalding hot broth out of it, then dip the rest of the dumpling in a dip and eat. It's amazing how they get it inside-out like that. I have just learned, from a cookbook called "Dim Sum and Other Chinese Street Food" by Mai Leung, that the secret is to gel some broth with agar-agar and seal the solid broth inside the dumplings. When the dumplings are heated, the broth liquifies again, so you get dumplings full of soup. I haven't tried this recipe yet, but I don't usually make my own dim sum, so I thought I'd go ahead and post it for those who do. She says you can only make these a few hours in advance, and if you do, you should refrigerate them before steaming.
Top Review by Sandi From CA
Oh, YES! First my changes/substitutions... I used *GASP!* imitation crab, fresh oyster mushrooms and wonton wrappers, which means they had to be folded differently as you can see in the photo. For the dip, I only had red wine vinegar which was fine -- I've always used white wine vinegar and soy sauce for my gyozas, so I think this ingredient is pretty flexible. I had a devil of a time figuring out first where to buy agar-agar (Asian markets, among other places), then how to use the powdered version which is all I could locate. (It comes in powder, flakes and a blockÂ?.) I ended up boiling the contents of one .25 oz package of agar-agar with the chicken broth until it dissolved, then put it in the fridge to set, which it did nicely. That was cool! Using gelatin instead of agar-agar is doable, I learned from research, but it'll melt at room temperature, so after chilling, you have to move fast getting the dumplings wrapped. For me it was worth locating the agar-agar since I'm not that fast! And now for the verdict... well, you can see by the stars it was a total winner! Next time I'll use more of the agar-agar gel; I was a little hesitant this time which resulted in very little broth, but the flavor was just so delicious, I WILL be making these again. Though it was very time consuming for lazy people like myself, it was SO worth it. Thank you so much for the recipe and sorry for my rambling!

The Washington Times Wrong Again on Sudan
"The paper further claimed that in addition to having "massacred" 59 civilians, government forces abducted ten children and six women. 'The Washington Times' article also alleged that Presbyterian Pastor Jacob Manyal was burned to death by government soldiers, and that two of his children were killed in captivity."
American Christians Gravely Misled on Sudan
"There is clear, independently-sourced, evidence that American Churches and Christians are being grievously misled with regard to the situation in Sudan. On more than one occasion American church groups such as Servant's Heart have made very serious claims about Sudanese government forces which were subsequently proved untrue. Sudan has been at war, off and on, since 1955."
Dishonest and Hypocritical: Museveni on Sudan
"For the last 17 years, parts of northern Uganda, predominantly those inhabited by the Acholi ethnic community within Gulu, Kitgum, and Pader districts, have been caught up in a devastating rebellion fought between the so-called Lords Resistance Army (LRA) - led by former Catholic catechist Joseph Kony - and the Museveni government and the Ugandan army (the Ugandan People's Defence Force or UPDF)."

Located across the street from the Inverness school and playground. Walk on the trails or down to the Inverness General Store, gift shop and restaurants. Drive to nearby Tomales Bay State Park swimming beaches, including Shell Beach or out to the Point Reyes Lighthouse or the special ocean beaches. Kayaking and sailing are popular on Tomales Bay (kayaks can be rented). Other quality restaurants are nearby in Point Reyes Station and Olema, just a few miles away.
If you are like us, you will want to spend some of your time in the very private, park like setting, playing tennis, climbing trees, playing board games or reading books in the cozy living room by the fire or on the deck shaded by oak trees. Pick blackberries in the summer, particularly in late July and in August. That formula has worked for five generations in our family, enjoying the magic of Inverness since 1914.
The main house and tennis court date back to the 1890s with the rest of the house added in the 1930s. The master king suite over the garage has a bath/shower. The main bathroom next to one of the queen bed rooms has an updated shower. Washer and dryer in the separate garage.
Many of our guests become 'regulars' who we welcome back year after year. We hope you will find our property worthy of becoming one of your special vacation spots, enjoying Inverness and exploring the Point Reyes National Seashore.
Note - NO TV! Keeping with our history of conversation before the fire and board games, we don't have a TV set. However, the strong wi-fi network allows you to stream video on your portable electronics. The result? Board games, puzzles, tennis, walks and conversation replace the time that you are used to spending with the TV! (My favorite is Scrabble!) Here are some of our guest's comments:
• "A delightful place…..I hope to come back again…."
• "……in harmony with nature…."
• "……so lucky to have spent time in this amazing home in this beautiful place….."
• "….cooking delicious food together and gathering around the round table……"
• "….a place where time slows enough for you to catch up."
• "We had a super family gathering. All of just loved being here. This is a fabulous place to be. Our stay has been delightful."
• "Our dog was in heaven!!"
• "PS – The stars were fabulous."
• "Upon walking inside, one can smell this home's history. Rich and comfortable. Warm and full of genuine laughter. The place is full of good things. Well built, confident and provocative. It leaves you wanting to read its history. Thank you for the protection against modernization."
• "We came looking for peace and tranquility, and things green and growing. They were here in abundance!"
• "This house is really remarkable…..the symbiotic feeling of the building and natural elements blending together……but perhaps even more amazing are the memories that are made here. A couple of days of rain encouraged us to get to know this place and one another a bit better. We congregated around the fire and did puzzle after puzzle together, lounged and talked and played board games – our family's winter holiday was one we will always treasure. We found ourselves speculating about the Colbys and the history of this space, how special the family must be who came together here and have opened its doors to the rest of us."
• "Our kids had a blast exploring in and around the house – they are not happy about leaving!!"
• "I enjoyed the space to dream."
• "We loved our stay at Colby House; it is the quintessential Inverness house – cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed the piano. We appreciate the history of the house and the way you have kept things the way they were. The light and the quiet are delicious – we don't want to leave!"
• "Had a great time and the kids not only survived having no TV but also had a great time."
• "We loved this mysterious big old house, big decks, big windows, big glorious tennis court, big trees, and big generous loving sense of being cared for! Unforgettable."
• "….what a fireplace!"
• "We really enjoyed traveling back in time."
• And a few comments from the younger set:
• "Thank you for letting us stay here. I was very excited!! But there is no TV.!!"
• "We had a wonderful time. We climbed on the tree, played in the tennis courts and built forts."
• "My sister and I had a lot of fun exploring and playing ping-pong. Thank you."
• "I do not want to leave the tennis court. I want to stay here and I really love tennis. It was my first day playing tennis ever. I liked playing the piano. Your place is really fun. We went to the beach and I dug the biggest hole that I had ever seen."
Keywords: Vacation house with tennis court, almost a full wooded acre with oak trees, near hiking trails and in the lovely resort town of Inverness in West Marin County
Mike Brown and his family are the Bay Area Colby family members who own the Colby House. Mike's grandparents Henry and Ruth Colby bought the property in the 1930s and raised their children with long summers at the house. The main house was built in the 1890s, along with the tennis court, but Henry added several bedrooms after buying the house. Mike's Aunt Mary Colby McKey is another owner of the Colby House, and her passion has been to retain the history and 'feel' of the house from her childhood.
Kerry Brown purchased this house in 1933
All of the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of Henry and Ruth Colby have their favorite memories and activities associated with the Colby House. It was the dream of Ruth Colby that the Colby House would remain in the family and that new people would have the chance to experience the magic of this special place.
Special memories include summer and winter holiday weekends and extended visits; special activities include playing cards and games in the living room; short drives to the Tomales Bay beaches, particularly Shell Beach where Ruth Colby used to drive each day in the summer to swim after 4:30pm; longer drives out to the beautiful ocean beaches, particularly McClures, but also to enjoy the wildflowers and to look for the Tule Elk who live in their own preserve. And, to be honest, it is common to stay on the property and take walks around the neighborhood and lose all ambition as the property itself is incredible and very relaxing when sitting on the deck!
The property is very private, with almost a full acre and the entire side of the block of Park Avenue, up from Forres Way where our green gates face the Inverness School. Within the property is the newly resurfaced and restriped tennis court, and an oak tree next to the deck which is suitable for climbing (and with a rope swing as well)! Everyone enjoys sitting on the deck in the summer to enjoy every meal!
This home is truly a classic - redwood panels and decks and feeling of Inverness history. And it has updated kitchen appliances and bathroom fixtures. The tennis court was a bonus and we had a great time rediscovering our love for the game without anyone watching all the errors. Neighbors are a bit touchy about any noise or cars so its important to be extra careful and considerate. We'd definitely go back.
What a magical place to come and stay! The Colby house had everything we needed and more! It is so cared for, so quiet, so peaceful and such a beautiful enviornment to be with family and friends in a relaxed and connected way. Thank You!!!!
We were 9 people celebrating my mom's 80th birthday. We spent much time trying to beat her on the tennis court. The cozy evenings were spent singing around the fireplace. We did get out to see some whales and elk, but didn't need to leave the comfort of the Colby House.
Thumbs up!!!
I like rustic and places with history and this is definitely it. We were 9 people and were very comfortable. It is clean and a very special space. I would definitely rent this again for another family gathering. We stayed in Winter and the fire was super-cozy but Summer is probably great too.
A great place, rain or shine. Comfortable in all the right ways without compromising the great old funkiness. Easy to be inside and a great amount of private outdoor space. Inverness itself is of course a perfect little village. So happy that places like the Colby House are still around and shared. Thank you so much.

Mr John J WanbergIndustrial Design
Personal Biography Statement
John Wanberg currently teaches Advanced IND, SolidWorks/Computer-Aided Modeling, Professional Internship, and Composites in Design.
Educational Biography
John Wanberg earned a BFA in Industrial Design in 2000 from Brigham Young University with a minor in Japanese. He received his Industrial Design MSD (Masters of Science in Design) from Arizona State University in 2005 where he also taught Industrial Design courses for three years.
Research Areas/Interests
John's research interests include assistive bio-robotics, electric and alternative transportation, user-initiated design and customization cultures. He enjoys mixing theoretical concepts of design with real-world, hands-on application and loves to explore the limits of design�s capabilities. His expertise includes technology-based conceptualization, �mechano-aesthetic� design, prototype fabrication, and composites manufacturing and applications. He is currently researching and developing an all-composite bodied alternative vehicle called the "Axys" with partial assistance from undergraduate students.
Professional Affiliations
John is a member of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and has worked professionally in the design of alternative vehicles, as well as on a variety of products ranging from medical mobility devices and professional sound equipment to consumer electronics and products, including aftermarket automotive equipment.
Teaching Philosophy
I believe that responsibility for real learning lies on the shoulders of both the student and the teacher: one cannot perform well without the assistance of the other. Therefore, I view the classroom/lab environment as a co-op of shared experience in which I endeavor to share my particular experience and knowledge with students as they share their varied knowledge with me. Additionally, I believe that students gain a far deeper understanding of subjects that they can get their hands �dirty� with--the more practice, the better. When concepts are practiced, skills are developed and solidified rather than simply given lip service.

"Practical, but nice to drive"
This is a really good family car, it easily fits any combination of 3 child seats and has built-in sun blinds at all 4 rear windows. There is also an extra rear view mirror so that you can easily keep an eye on the kids in the back. There is space for a big rear facing child seat, I have a Britax Multi Tech behind the passenger that my youngest child will be using until she is at least 5 and there is plenty of legroom left for the front seat passenger.

It's alright, a bit dull really. All five of us and two dogs fit nicely, the visibility via side windows isn't brilliant. We bought an entry level version that has no heated front window or parking beepers, which we miss having had them on our Ford Galaxy. We are ready to let it go and are planning to look around for something new having had it for 18 months.

"Great car for a big family"
We needed a car to fit our four children in comfortably and this one easily does this. Very similar to the Citreon C3 Picasso but we went for this one because it is very economical to drive, can fit 3 car seats along the 2nd row and has the safety benefit of air bags for passengers in the 3rd row (boot). The only reason that I haven't given it 5 stars is because I don't think the 3rd row seats are as comfortable as those in say the Ford Galaxy.

"Great family car"
I have got this car and it's brilliant. It easily fits a child seat and two booster seats across the back. Then you have the option of massive boot - great when you're going away and need to pack all the stuff that comes with kids - or two extra seats that are spring loaded which is great for taking the inevitable extra kids around.

What is Psychology?
Psychology is the scientific study of human behavior and mental processes, and how they are affected and/or affect an individual's or group's physical state, mental state and external environment. Its goal is to describe, understand, predict and modify behavior.
Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior. The discipline embraces all aspects of the human experiencefrom the functions of the brain to the actions of nations, from child development to care for the aged. In every conceivable setting, from scientific research centers to mental health care services, "the understanding of behavior" is the enterprise of psychologists.
Course Descriptions
