The value of
Although the value of telemonitoring in heart failure patients is increasingly studied, little is known about the value of the separate components of telehealth: ICT guided disease management and telemonitoring. The aim of this study is to investigate the value of telemonitoring added to ICT guided disease management (DM) on the quality and efficiency of care in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) after a hospitalisation.
The study is divided in two arms; a control arm (DM) and an intervention arm (DM+TM) in 10 hospitals in the Netherlands. In total 220 patients will be included after worsening of CHF (DM: N = 90, DM+TM: N = 130). Total follow-up will be 9 months. Data will be collected at inclusion and then after 2 weeks, 4.5 and 9 months. The primary endpoint of this study is a composite score of: 1: death from any cause during the follow-up of the study, 2: first readmission for HF and 3: change in quality of life compared to baseline, assessed by the Minnesota Living with Heart failure Questionnaire. The study has started in December 2009 and results are expected in 2012.
The IN TOUCH study is the first to investigate the effect of telemonitoring on top of ICT guided DM on the quality and efficiency of care in patients with worsening HF and will use a composite score as its primary endpoint.
Trial registration
Netherlands Trial Register (NTR): NTR1898
Heart failure (HF) is the most common hospital discharge diagnosis in elderly patients
DM can be defined as an intervention, designed to manage a chronic disease and to reduce hospital readmissions, using a systematic approach to care and potentially employing multiple treatment modalities
We recently reported results of the COACH study, a study on the effect of a nurse led DM program on clinical outcome
The IN TOUCH study will investigate the effect of telemonitoring in addition to an ICT guided DM system on the quality and efficiency of care for patients after worsening HF. This is the first study investigating a combination of two newly developed ICT interventions in a group of chronic HF patients on clinical outcome, adherence to guidelines, cost effectiveness and quality of life.
This study will add important information to other telemonitoring studies because of its strong commitment to ICT guided DM, the chosen composite endpoint, a strong focus on cost-effectiveness and the investigation of the influence of user aspects as resistance and barriers that accompany the use of modern healthcare related ICT tools.
Study hypothesis
Telemonitoring added to ICT guided DM improves prognosis and quality of life in patients with HF compared to ICT guided DM alone.
Aim of the study
The primary aim of this study is to assess the effect of telemonitoring on top of an ICT guided DM system in patients after worsening HF on the combined endpoint of death, readmission and quality of life, compared to patients treaded with ICT guided DM alone.
Secondary aims of the study are;
• To assess the effect of telemonitoring in addition to an ICT guided DM system compared to an ICT guided DM alone on the separate components of the combined endpoint (death, readmission and quality of life).
• To determine the cost benefit ratio of ICT guided DM with telemonitoring compared to ICT guided DM alone.
Study design
A multicentre, randomised study in which in total 220 HF patients (NYHA II-IV) will be included. Patients will be randomised to the ICT guided DM (control) arm (N = 90) or into the ICT guided DM with telemonitoring (intervention) arm (N = 130) (Figure

Ethics statement
On March 2009 this study design has became ethical approval (M09.070323) given by the medical ethical commission (MEC) of the medical university of Groningen (UMCG).
The study has started (first patient) in December 2009.
Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER)
Costs A distinction will be made between intervention costs and resource utilization costs. The intervention costs consist of the costs of the DM system and the costs of the telemonitoring devices and will be calculated as a lump-sum over the study's follow-up period. Resource utilisation costs will be estimated by preparing a structured data collection form to collect detailed information regarding scheduled and non-scheduled outpatient clinic visits and hospital admissions (both HF and non-HF related), ward type (e.g. intensive/coronary care unit, cardiology, general internal medicine), and cardiovascular procedures/operations. In addition, a patient questionnaire will be administered at 4.5 months and 9 months of follow-up to collect complementary data on general practitioner visits, home care utilization, and nursing home admissions. Unit costs will be estimated by using the Dutch guidelines for cost calculations and inflated to current price levels using a general consumer price index. Indirect costs, such as productivity losses, will not be taken into account.
Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs)
Preference-based quality of life scores will be obtained by administering the EQ-5D to all patients in both the control group and the two intervention groups at baseline, 4.5 months of follow-up, and 9 months of follow-up. QALYs will subsequently be estimated by calculating the area of the two trapezoids that result from linear extrapolation of the three quality of life scores.
The balance between costs and effects will be assessed by estimating the incremental cost per QALY gained (ICER) for the intervention group compared with the control group.
The time horizon over which the costs end effects of the different treatment strategies will be compared is equivalent to that observed during the period of the study (i.e. no future projections will be made). Uncertainty surrounding the ICER will be represented through the use of cost-effectiveness acceptability curves, which show, for each possible value of λ (i.e. the societal willingness-to-pay for one additional QALY), the probability that the intervention will be cost-effective.
Randomisation and data collection
Patients can be randomised during admission for HF, and in case of worsening of HF at the outpatient clinic. After confirmation of eligibility and written informed consent, patients will be included into the study. Patients will be randomised into the control or intervention group. Patient characteristics and clinical variables will be collected at baseline, and 2 weeks and 9 months after discharge. Echocardiography, ECG, and laboratory analysis will be performed at baseline during hospitalisation and at the end of the study. Quality of life as part of the primary endpoint, measured with the Minnesota Living with HF Questionnaire, will be collected at baseline and at 9 months. Data about utilisation of resources will be collected prospectively and comprise components of direct costs, i.e. scheduled and non-scheduled outpatient visits and hospital admissions.
Questionnaires about self-care behaviour, anxiety, depression, compliance and medical technology assessment (MTA) will be completed before discharge, and at 4.5 and 9 months (Table

Control group
ICT guided disease management system without telemonitoring
Patients in this group receive care guided by an ICT DM system. This system supports DM in a fully automatic way, assisting the HF nurse to optimise pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment, evaluate treatment and adjust therapy to optimal levels, according to current HF guidelines. The patient will receive tailored education and counselling on the HF regimen, symptom management and improvement of the pharmacological and non pharmacological regimen.
The system mainly works as a computer decision support system. Based on the input of data from physical examination, medical history, questionnaires and nursing assessment, the system provides an advice to healthcare providers according to the actual guidelines, including up titration of HF medication to optimal doses.
Intervention group
ICT guided disease management with telemonitoring
Patients in the DM with telemonitoring group will be treated with the above described ICT guided DM system in combination with the following integrated telemonitoring devices that will be installed at the patients' home;
• weighing scale; patients will be instructed to weigh daily.
• blood pressure meter; patients will be instructed to measure their blood pressure daily during up titration of medication.
• ECG; patients have to perform an ECG twice a week during up titration of beta-blockers.
• Health monitor; an interactive monitor collects data from the weighing scale, blood pressure meter and ECG device and will respond to the patients' collected data. Data will be directly transmitted to the DM system in the hospital.
In case of a deviation of individualised predefined ranges of weight, blood pressure or heart rhythm, the health monitor will automatically generate supplementary questions directly to the patient to evaluate the actual health situation. This data, measurements and subjective patient information (predefined multiple choice questions about HF symptoms) will be transferred to the computerised DM in the hospital. Furthermore, the health monitor will generate an advice about the non-pharmacological treatment, for example regarding compliance with fluid and sodium restriction. When the data collected by the system deviates from predefined ranges, the HF nurse will be informed automatically by mobile phone and email. In that case, the HF nurse will contact the patient by phone within two hours and further discusses symptoms and treatment. If data are outside any reference range in combination with symptoms of deterioration, patients will receive a message from the health monitor that they will be contacted by the HF nurse.
Sample size calculation
Group sample sizes of 130 patients for the group treated with telemonitoring and ICT guided DM and 90 patients treated with ICT guided DM achieve 80% power to detect superiority for telemonitoring using a one-sided, two-sample t-test. The margin of equivalence is 0.0. The true difference between the means is assumed to be 0.8. The significance level (alpha) of the test is 0.025. The data are drawn from populations with standard deviations of - 2.0 and + 2.0. These figures are based on a publication
Statistical analyses
The primary analysis will consist of a comparison of the composite endpoint scores (Table
Study organisation
To include 220 patients in this study, 10 hospitals in the Netherlands are participating in the IN TOUCH study. The first patients are recruited in December 2009; the end of the study is expected to be in September 2012.
Support and monitoring
The study is supported and monitored by the Trial Coordination Centre (TCC), a contract research organisation for clinical trials. Both the quality of the research data and of the intervention will be structurally monitored according to the GCP guidelines and TCC standards (ISO 9000:2001).
In the last decades, the introduction of ICT in healthcare promised an improved quality of care while reducing work load, and resulting in a more cost effective system. This might be realised by the use of computer guided decision support systems and telemonitoring
Mortality and morbidity are important outcomes in studies in HF patients. Quality of life becomes a more important issue for patients and may be even more important for them than survival or readmissions. Therefore, a composite primary endpoint, including quality of life, mortality and morbidity was chosen for the IN TOUCH study. Another reason for this composite endpoint is that for HF a high standard of care has been established which makes it more difficult to investigate the added effect of new therapeutic options. Beside the statistical advantage of a composite endpoint, the study becomes less costly and results of promising new treatment may occur earlier with this selected design. The strength of this study is the important role of ICT guided DM, telemonitoring, the composite endpoint, including quality of life, a strong focus on cost effectiveness and the emphasis on experienced user resistance and barriers regarding ICT tools in healthcare.

1. Demi Lovato
After reading this name a tough and bold face pop up in mind. Demi Lovato born on August 20, 1992 and started her career in singing. Demi Lovato is a singing sensation and had made her space in the industry with her heart touching voice and lyrics. I love the fact that she is very open about sharing her life experiences but I hate how people (Media in particular) can't stand her and made fun of her. She is an inspiration for all the teens because she herself has gone through all the teen problems like bullying, heartbreak, bipolar disorder but stood strong and now she is a star and achieved the label of "Hot teenage girl".
This list completely justified and covered all the hottest teen celebrities of today. Aren't they all wonderful? Just have a look at the list and conclude yourself. My most favorite among all are Logan Lerman and Shailanne Woodley. Who is your favorite?

Album releases often mark a creative pause for a band, but that wasn't the case for Hurray for the Riff Raff.
It was one of the best New Orleans music stories of 2014, not only because it released the excellent "Small Town Heroes" in February, but because singer and leader Alynda Lee Segarra tailored the tools used for selling albums — television and YouTube — to her vision.
On "Small Town Heroes," Segarra infused contemporary touches into Appalachian-sounding folk songs about the bohemian Bywater world she knows. Because of that, Hurray for the Riff Raff songs have a familiar, rural sound even when the stories it compassionately tells are as current as murders on St. Roch Avenue.
Segarra's post-release choices said as much about who the band is as the album.
When Hurray for the Riff Raff appeared on "Late Night with David Letterman," Segarra gambled with fame she didn't have yet and introduced herself to America not with one of the good time songs but with "The Body Electric."
The song is her response to the murder ballad tradition and the way violence against women is so common that it has become a lyrical trope, and the three-minute performance (available on YouTube) was as dramatic as any on late night television in 2014.
She similarly used the official video for "The Body Electric" to tell the story of Marissa Alexander, a young Florida mother who fired a warning shot to back off her abusive husband and was convicted of aggravated assault and sentenced to 20 years. The decision to connect Hurray for the Riff Raff to race, gender and class justice issues and make the band about more than music is bold in a culture that rewards Kardashians for being rich and famous.
Hurray for the Riff Raff labelmate Benjamin Booker seemed to come from nowhere to open for The Drive-By Truckers at the Civic during Jazz Fest last year, tour as Jack White's opening act, and appear on "Late Night with David Letterman" and "Conan" to play his debut single, "Violent Shiver," all before releasing his debut album in August.
He almost immediately sparked a low grade backlash from New Orleans music faithful ready to preserve the "Booker" name for the late piano hero James Booker, and point out that Benjamin Booker's not really from New Orleans (he moved here from Florida in 2013).
His lottery-like rise from obscurity seemed to tweak long-standing anxieties over who deserves pop music success in New Orleans, but the album makes his case for him. Booker's songs generate so much momentum that they threaten to fall into the next song, and he sings with a throat-peeling intensity, as if each lyric may be the last words out, so he makes them count. Whether others notice them or not, Booker traces the R&B and soul in his songs to the influence of WWOZ.
Booker's status as a New Orleanian tangentially connects to a much larger story in 2014: the ongoing anxiety over threats to New Orleans' musical culture. Who is a part of it paled next to concerns that noise and zoning ordinances would irreparably damage the live music culture that gives New Orleans its distinctive identity. City Council wrestled with a workable noise ordinance and was on the brink of passing one that focused on the French Quarter in April.
Then sound engineer and consultant David Woolworth demonstrated to council members that Bourbon Street's ambient noise late in the day would violate the proposed ordinance, well before the usual nighttime crowds, bands and DJs further raised the noise levels.
That, and the election that resulted in Nadine Ramsey taking Kristin Gisleson-Palmer's District "C" seat, seem to have moved a noise ordinance to the back burner, but in June Sidney Torres IV sued Buffa's Lounge, claiming that its live music was responsible for noise that made it hard to sell his house next door on Esplanade Avenue.
Torres and Buffa's reached a compromise that reduced the number of nights the club offered live music, as well as the size of bands, and required the instruments to be unamplified with the exception of vocals. As a result, concerns remain that enforced zoning ordinances hurts New Orleans' nightlife and musicians' livelihoods.
You wouldn't know any of that after watching Foo Fighters' "Sonic Highways" on HBO. The series took viewers behind the scenes as the band recorded its album of the same name, but it also examined music communities around the country, including New Orleans.
In Austin, Texas, leader Dave Grohl thought ordinances and a changing, more monied cityscape threatened the city's live music community, but in New Orleans he found hope in second lines and musical families.
It's not clear if he saw something music supporters didn't or if Grohl didn't dig hard enough. Whatever the case, the band played a prominent part of 2014. They shut down St. Peter Street in the French Quarter when they played a Facebook-announced show in Preservation Hall.
Foo Fighters returned to headline The Voodoo Music Experience on Halloween weekend and play a rare club date at the House of Blues the night the New Orleans episode aired. The confluence of events meant that New Orleanians likely spent more time thinking about about Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters than anyone here had in years, but his ambitions and the band's efforts to promote "Sonic Highways" the album — like Hurray for the Riff Raff's earlier in the year — gave us a rare glimpse into the workings of the pop music marketplace.

About MeI have very little experience but the bit I have had has been extremely fun and has made me crave more. My friends and family have always told me I should be a model because of my looks and personality. I enjoy being on camera or in pictures and it thrills me to see myself on television or a website.
I am very outgoing and know how to make a costume work. I have received awards for my acting in haunted houses and my face is all over google if you search for 'bacon cosplay'. I enjoy being in costume, but would love to do some work as just me.
I hope that joining this site will help me learn more about modeling and give me the opportunities to gain experience. Contact me at through Model Mayhem if you are interested in meeting me.

i'm in no position to ask things of you.
i'm in no position to be demanding answers
i can't justify any words to say to you
where does this leave me?
what is my position?
Since you left, i have not laughed sincerely.
my signiture smile (the smile i usually carry), you carried away with you.
my "have-dones" made me vulnerable to you.
i stand alone, and far from you - as far as i can tell -
i've never felt as distanced from you as i do today.
the current result of this scares me shitless-
for i have been completely stripped.
stripped of my smile, my eyes and ears;
my mouth is motionless,
i dont see light,
and I'm deaf to laughter
i'm stripped of my clothes, my hair, my shoes;
my body is shivering.
i am light headed and confused,
i have lost all direction.
i'm stripped of my stomach, my mind, and my person;
i'm empty inside,
ultimately clueless,
and incapable of interaction.
all of me that remains
is a naked, hollow corps,
inhabiting a broken heart.
i never knew i could feel this way
or ever thought i'd be able to explain it -
but i just did - to a T.
however, i never imagined
that the perpetrator of it all -
would be me, myself and my stupidity...

WordCamp Kenya is a conference about the world's most popular blogging software WordPress. Developers, designers and users will come together for talks and workshops related to WordPress and to publishing on the web, and to network.
The first WordCamp in Kenya was held in 2011 in Naivasha with 215 people attending, the second at Maanzoni Lodge in 2012 which saw a bigger attendance, better sessions and great result – in fact, WordCamp Kenya's official Twitter harsh tag #WCKE was a worldwide trend on the first day of the event. This is a WordCamp first, the second first from Kenya – the first one being the fact that we are the only WordCamp in the world that has taken place at a real campsite. WordCamp covers all aspects of blogging, social media and digital publishing.
WordCamp Kenya 2013 will be held in Nanyuki, at another camping site at the foot of Mt. Kenya. Since 2011, WordCamp Kenya has become the official getaway for the bloggers and developers and they come back equipped with something they did not have before. It is a great learning experience.
2013 Theme: Proudly Kenyan!
Responsible Blogging and Positive Social Media Influence was our theme for last year – we were heading to the first elections since 2007 and the crisis that followed it. It was a place that we preached peace, made commitment to spread peace and not hate. We successfully achieved this and we had, to the surprise of the entire world, peaceful elections and a smooth transition of power.
This is the year that Kenya celebrates 50 years of independence and we believe that Kenya is what it is today because of the contribution of each one of us, it is our joy, it is our pride. We are proudly Kenyan. So this makes our 2013 theme! "Proudly Kenyan" and we shall tell the world of all the things that make Kenya unique.
We shall focus on using WordPress for marketing and proudly showcasing what Kenya is to the entire world. We shall highlight great marketing plugins that help your blog move fast to the top of the search results.
There will be definitely developer tracks and we shall have practical workshops on theme and plugin development. There shall be case studies and we shall all come back better equipped.
This is also WordPress' 10th anniversary and yes, we shall celebrate it at WordCamp Kenya 2013.

|Reviews for White Knight
| Spitfire303 chapter 1 . 2/19/2015
This is cute :) they look out for each other
| ultra dragon chapter 1 . 12/22/2011
What an excellent story!
I really the way you made the characters handle this.
I really love Lisbon and Jane, they were quite funny.
| Lothlorien Aeterna chapter 1 . 8/26/2011
Haha, loved it!
| Jack Cassidy chapter 1 . 3/14/2010
Love it!
| wisher93 chapter 1 . 10/18/2009
Loved it! It was cute. 'Thanks for being my White Knight.' ahh that was the best. Thanks for sharing:)
| Viktorija chapter 1 . 8/27/2009
I enjoyed reading this story very much:))
| Madaboutthementalist chapter 1 . 8/6/2009
Oh, heaps of praise. I just loved the whole story...The outlandish first person tale that is SO Jane (including the exaggeration), the hysterical nicknames (Biceps, Excessive Hair Gel), the hilarious truth (yep, he couldn't take down a Brownie, let alone a girl scout), and best of all, Lisbon taking down a chauvinistic a*le,plus Jane's cute acknowledgement of same. It's great to see a man, even a fictional one, who doesn't mind a woman half his size kicking butt. :D
| MyGoldenGlow chapter 1 . 8/6/2009
aw! I loved it! - so cute!
"Fin for now, Jello forever."
I LOVE that. I wish I had thought of it...*jealousy* haha. But really - great story.
| Jadestar1981 chapter 1 . 8/6/2009
Ooh sweet...love Jane for defending Lisbon's honour and the fact that he would do it again...so adorable. And Lisbon for kicking that idiot's ass...hooray. That girl rocks!
BTW: "Sure, Lancelot," she quipped sarcastically. "Maybe when you decide on participating in another duel, you might want to call up your buddies from the round table for backup first." was really hilarious.
Funny, sweet oneshot.
| JelloFanatic123 chapter 1 . 8/6/2009
Really good! Can't wait to read more of your stories!
| House Calls chapter 1 . 8/6/2009
Bwah! Loved the twist on the 'white knight' story! Very well done, and very fitting, IMO. :-)
| mwalter1 chapter 1 . 8/6/2009
Awe - sweet! Jane trying to defend Lisbon's honor. Love how she got on that guys case.
| khalek-aeryn chapter 1 . 8/6/2009
hahaha! that was great :P
| music-and-fairytales chapter 1 . 8/6/2009
OMG I LOVE IT! *squee* That was absolutely awesome. Great job xx
| dju chapter 1 . 8/6/2009
He! Lisbon would kick ass. Nice fic.

No longer really keen on having my thoughts out there, and there's - mysteriously - apparently no way to delete my account or started threads, so I've just removed all my posts. Thanks to those of you who commented.
No announcement yet.
Finally going primal, properly!
new posts
Hi Sarah.
I enjoyed your post and I didn't think it was self indulgent at all. Quite interesting actually. I hope to follow your journey
in the weeks and months to come. I am quite new to MDA, but still watching from the bushes, even though I know it would be ideal for me (64 yrs, 6"3, 310 lbs [i don't do metric]-even up here in Canada) Maybe you will be my inspiration to start.
I have followed the paths of a few individuals whose posts I enjoyed. All of them have stopped cold. Like they dropped off the face of the earth with no warning. I found it disconcerting, and a little sad.
I am curious about your use of protein powder. Is that the stuff you buy at body building shops? How do you incorporate it into your meals. Probably a foolish question, but no fool like an old fool.
Hope to hear from you.
Welcome Sarah, sounds as though you have a good 'handle' on this. While I am trying to lose weight, I think the really big benefit from this lifestyle is the terrific way it makes you feel. Better by far to bounce through life than to drag!Odille

following Primal Lifestyle and swimming my way to health
My Primal Blog / Photo Blog / RedBubble shop / My Calendars / My Facebook
3am and can't sleep. had a glass of o.j. (the carton promises no additives - just 14 squeezed oranges in every container). I was thinking about you. From your self description, you seem to have your act together. Weight is not much of a problem-if at all. Physically fit. Young. Obviously intelligent and very literate. my question I guess - why are you here.? Most posters on these forums are starting from the bottom of the drain. You are a goddess in comparison.
Another question, what do you want from the posters on this thread of yours. Dialogue? Or is this thread a sounding board for you where you talk about what is happening on your fitness journey? Solo primarily, or interactive. I can do either-it is whatever you wish.
By the way, thank you for the advice on protein. I will use that information when I take the plunge into primal.
I hope all this rambling makes sense. I like the dialogue route, whereas most journalling is quite private in nature. Whichever you like is fine with me.
Have I mentioned that old age is a curse? That is why I am awake at 3 in the morning.
Looking forward to another day in the coal mines tomorrow and the stress is starting to build all ready.
Good evening Sarah. It sounds like a wonderful party, even if you did overindulgence. Remember Mr. Sissons 80% rule, and don't beat yourself up.
I saw my GP this morning. She doesn't like my weight, my blood pressure, or the frequent debillitating headaches that I have been having. She put me on a month's stress leave starting today! I almost kissed her. I work for a great insurance company, and I know I'm in"good hands", but their focus has shifted from taking care of the clients to the pure persuit of sales and profit. To say that my job is stressful is putting it mildly.
My phrase "circling the drain"was unfortunately written. I only used it to emphasize the disparity of your
starting point on your journey to health and the starting point of many others..
I hope to use the next 30 days to become more primal. I have a really cool personal trainer who comes to my house once a week. Regardless of the weather (and in Alberta I was recently out in minus 30 degrees celcius) we do a half hour power walk and then stretches/power moves on playground equipment . I absolutely love it. I feel so alive.
Of course, my trainer wants me to duplicate the workout 3more times a week. And for that I have no energy at all. Hence the depression, the lethargy, the lack of focus.
Enough about me. Where are you from? I know you are young, and probably a college or university student. Probably single, or unnatached right now.What courses do you major in? I'm betting on literature or social sciences. What will you do when you graduate?
You mentioned enjoying the sun. I have a new Kia Soul, with a sun roof, and one of my greatest pleasures is to drive down a
country road with the afternoon Albertasun beating on my face.
It is midnight now. I am basking in the glow of a bottle of a bottle of australian Sheraz, and grooving to the incredible sounds of Leonard Cohen's latest CD.
I hoe this note finds you healthy and well
Hi and welcome
Looking forward to reading more about your forays into primal. And yep if you fall off the wagon just get right back on!
Don't worry about getting bulky arms, we woman can't (unless we took steroids of course! So lift away!)
But no need to work biceps directly anyway, these primal movements, pullups etc, will work on all the muscles. I am loving that I am starting to see my muscles from doing CrossFit.
As Jaime Oliver likes to say, I think your new written plan is "brilliant"! Posting it for all to see gives you an added incentive to succeed, and I am rooting for you. Short term (2weeks) goals are more effective than long, IMHO. I will wait patiently to read of your successful results
Hi Sarah. So sorry to hear about your wipe-out. The fact that you were already in comparatively great shape probably kept your injuries to minimum.
Some free advice:
1. Walk as much as you can, even though you are stiff and sore. You will get better quicker than you would lying on the couch.
2. Three cups of Epsom salts in a very hot bath. Soak for an hour. Bring scented candles and a really good book with you. I don't know the science, but the salts + hot water will help to suck the soreness out of your
3. Finally, always remember that free advice is worth exactly what you paid for it!
I hope you are up and about and that we all will hear from you soon.
Sounds great.
Just wanted you to know someone out there is reading and closely following your posts. Keep up the great work.
Are you back on the bike yet? It is snowing like crazy here, and we won't be seeing any bikes on the roads for a while. I will be shoveling snow today.
Hope your visits with the family and the ex go well. Do you have far to travel?
Be safe, and eat healthy.
Lucky you, getting to have dairy. You might look in to kefir it is even better than yogurt. There is a lady named the kefir lady who sells the grains to make it, if you decided at some point that is something you would want to do- kefir is kind of expensive.
Hi Sarah.
Far from boring, I think your posts are fabulous and that you are an amazing young lady. I think it was Socrates that said that "the unexamined life is not worth living", or words to that effect. You are certainly self aware, and you seem to be struggling with self esteem issues. If I'm reading you right, you feel that you are under achieving and performing far below your potential. It is my experience (64 years), that most intelligent individuals fight the same demons that you are struggling with. I know that I do. I also know there are no easy answers - at least I haven't found any.
By the way, I hesitate to comment on it lest you think I am a dirty old man, but the picture you posted was "perfect". Enough said about that.
You very kindly directed some gentle comments my way in an earlier post, so I will briefly bring you up to date (and I will be brief since this is your journal)!
I saw my doctor again, and she extended my stress leave to 3 months -until June 1. The first three weeks, I spent most of my time sleeping. My main stressor (and I have several), was my job. Insurance sales. I have been with Allstate for 15 years, and I expected to work there another 6 or 7 years. But I find myself unable to handle the ever increasing performance requirements of my employer. In the last year, I got into a very nasty habit of "unwinding" with a bottle of wine after work - all of it - every day. My weight ballooned. My blood pressure got too high. My long suffering wife of 43 years had a fit. So did my doctor.
To make a long story short, I am totally off the booze. I am on a rigorous work out program (I love it when my body "hurts so good"). When I go back to work, either my employer changes their expectations of me or I will quit and do something else.
Or retire and go visit children and grand children. Enough about me. Keep posting. Like I said earlierLast edited by Ezestreets; 04-06-2012, 10:52 PM.
Sorry about that. Technology baffles me. I was trying to end my post with some words of encouragement and I pushed the wrong keys.
Like I said earlier, you are amazing. I look forward to reading your thoughts.
danLast edited by Ezestreets; 04-07-2012, 12:10 PM. Reason: Duh-can't spell my own name
Hi Sarah
Glad you're back. You have a great attitude, and will ace the PB regime. Keep us all posted.
Hi Sarah
You asked about my workout regime. I will keep it short - it is your forum after all!
M+W+F, (7-9 pm), I go to a "Biggest Loser"program at the local community center. There, they beat us up a lot, running us through a variety of laps, calisthenics, weight training (very simplified), and anything else they can think of to keep our heart rates elevated for 2 hours. Yesterday, they had us do a boxing routine, hitting our partner who was holding big pads. I find these sessions brutal, but "it hurts soooo good"
Tues-Thurs-Sat. Very brisk walk for 2 miles (about 30 minutes), then 30 minutes on the TRX. I'm puffing pretty hard by the end of the hour.
I guess I misjudged my willpower. I told you earlier that I was totally off the wine. I had a bottle yesterday afternoon. Really stupid and the anticipation far exceeded the actual event.
Enough about me! I hope you are feeling better. I've been meaning to ask - you shared the fact that you are taking physics at your university. Which branch? Quantum theory? Cosmology? I am in awe of anyone who can wrap their mind around quantum slipperiness. I read all the "non math "science books I can get - the ones intended for the dummies in the general population - like me.
Be safe. . .

It's been 10 years since Chris Evans, Michael Chiklis, Jessica Alba, and Ioan Gruffudd starred in Fantastic Four, and the new reboot is in theaters this week. Kate Mara, Jamie Bell, Miles Teller, and Michael B. Jordan are playing the titular Marvel superheroes, who are pitted against megavillain Victor Von Doom. Before the movie is released, let's take a look at how the new kids stack up against the original cast!

1) Monterey Park Teto Sweets is the most Hong Konger thing that has opened in West SGV since Premiere Desserts (Montery Park) popped up earlier this decade. The way they spell/write latte in traditional Chinese is Traditional. The I610 W Garvey
2) San Gabriel: Big shout-out to Elton who opened his dream boba team shop. Labobatory soft opened two months (Jan 7) after the the Kickstarter campaign surpassed $60,000. You can see the crazy Pi Pa Gao tea on its IG here. 819 W Las Tunas
3) Alhambra: Mancora Peruvian is set to open shortly. It is currently hiring. The restaurant replaces a tiny, dead Cantonese seafood place, but incorporation info shows ethnic Chinese ownership. 240 W Main St
4) Walnut: Chuan Ma has reopened as Chengdu Noodle House in BFE nowhere. I miss Chuan Ma and had to stop going as s/he moved further and further East. Do not expect the Chongqing Little Noodle craze that's currently sweeping through SGV right now — see Best Noodle House below. This is not the sort-of alkaline noodles commonly found in Chongqing, and the signature house noodle remains the spicy beef noodle soup which is so ridiculously addicting. I'd rather have this than drink chicken bone broth down the street. 810 Nogales.
5) Alhambra: Via reader's tip (hi Cynthia!), Ritter's Steam Kettle Cooking has announced a January opening on its website. I've been driving by almost every week and asking around for news for the last few months to no avail. Chef Michael Ritter is a fascinating guy, so maybe it's time to actually check in with him again and get a story plus an update. 1/23/17 Update from insider: final inspection is coming soon, but it's already 1/23, so it'll probably not be January. 1800 W Valley
6) Alhambra: Golden Brown Chicken has opened, and I have the say the chicken(s) here are delicious. The Asiany fried chicken wings: ask for the buffalo chicken "extra spicy" and the Savoy-esque Hainam chicken are both bang on. The neighborhood has noticed the pan-Asian menu quick service menu and there's regularly line out out the door after only 2 weeks. Sadly, they're having difficulties with phone orders so one must be a bit patient. Outside of Savoy, no one near the 710/10 has a higher QPR Hainan chicken rice. Their Instagram is here. 2120 Fremont Ave
7) Alhambra: Aku Poke is landing across the 1000 Fremont complex, next to the insanely popular Starbucks. That's all. Go eat your imported shrimp and salmon pumped full of pig manure.
7) San Gabriel: Cantonese folks keep trying to open dai pai dong style cafes in SGV despite multitude of recent failures (see Grand Cafe, etc.). Ho Kee Cafe is the latest entry, and the menu seems to be a mixture of Tsam Seng and Delicious Food Corner. 533 S. Del Mar
9) Arcadia: EMC has opened across Monkey Bar at the Arcadia Mall. I'm mentioning this because Monkey Bar is also open, and one of these places does not have pre-shucked happy oysters oysters. One of these places also allows you to order Hainan chicken from Sidechick to go with their cocktails. 400 Baldwin
10) Rosemead: Best Noodle opened last month, displacing the rather unfortunately "One Plus One" Cantonese cafe. This is a Chongqing-style "little noodle" shop, basically a copy of Mian, but less chic. To its credit, it does have a rendition of Chongqing's most ubiquitous little noodle: the yellow bean "zha" sauce. Unfortunately, it's also $8, basically 400% of an actual bowl in Chongqing. 9329 Valley Blvd.

These days, information about businesses, companies and professionals is well available on the web. When people want to know something in regards to a brand or possibly a person, they conduct looking on Google. Thus, it's very important for every single company or professional to keep up a confident image on the web. What if someone posts negative comments under your name or perhaps your business's name? This negative information really can cause loss in distrust and income and not enough respect. What is the solution? Nowadays, reputation repair companies are available which oversee and take necessary steps to mend the damaged reputation. They use a variety of techniques and tools which may prove good for either build or repair business's or individual's reputation inside the online market.
THIER CLAIMS ARE ACTUAL!!! Are You Kidding? WOW!! They had one ending up in this explained precisely what they'd been planning to do in order to maximize our profits and our online reputation and I have to tell you just how that's specifically whatever they did. For the things they charge it is nearly challenging to that is amazing they might make the degree of results which they do nevertheless the the fact is they actually do!! All even as we know is hats off to reputation accelerator and appreciate continuing to complete an amazing job distributing our positive content!!
Emails, blogs, forums and social media marketing venues for example Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, for example give people the ability to say whatever they think about your business affairs devoid of the choice for you to definitely screen what's being said. The online Better Business Bureau service provides instant access for other companies and potential prospects to learn in regards to you, be it good bad or ugly. Your reputation is dependant on almost anything that is said about you, regardless of whether it's real or according to someone's misinformed perception. The worst news coming from all is that there are organizations around for the sole purpose of making public statements to make you look bad.
Beating negative postings to the punch, Unvarnished plans to be the online platform for building a web based reputation in the start with community-contributed professional evaluations of would-be new hires and current employees. Anyone can begin a profile with a professional as well as the part of question doesn't need the potency of the 'delete' key. Thus, Unvarnished truth is truly that … unvarnished.
While the advent of the web made it convenient for consumers to express their dissatisfaction or distraught as online negative reviews, but this has made the specific situation really tough for businesses existing in the current web business world. For the businesses these days, the internet is both a chance as well as a barrier also. It is with the aid of the web that companies are able to establish a web based reputation, a lost reputation might be recovered and even a languishing business reputation might be boosted. However as well the net is also a venue where negative specifics of an enterprise may also be posted this also facts are easily made visible to everyday public, thus damaging the organization reputation. However at the same time the internet could be employed by the jealous competitors of an enterprise to maliciously damage a small business reputation by posting negative information that usually not really legitimate.

Summary: In future Japan, bigamy is legalized! Specifically, each person may legally marry two spouses, a simple legal change that brings up a lot of questions about serious romantic relationships. What would long-term relationships be like if they didn't remove you from the dating pool? Would people be more willing to commit if they knew they could also pick someone else later? Would society really jump to accept this as a new social norm, even if it had become legal?

Students compete to see who can create the most delicious and original study break food, vying for a prize decided by their peers at the end of each quarter. Past successes have included 5 kinds of homemade sorbet and a huge pot of chicken fried rice. Study breaks are so popular that residents will drop what they are doing on campus and travel back to Cathey to make sure they get a piece of whatever is being served. The House is filled with leaders who are content with being exactly who they are. Cathey's composed, even-tempered residents are self-motivated to explore the city on their own and often find a shared interest in music, culture, arts, poetry, and dance. Students from the House can often be found joining each other at one of the campus hosted concerts or cultural events. To commemorate the first and last day of classes of each year, residents will venture to the Point to jump in Lake Michigan. To help make it through the long Chicago winters, Cathey will host a winter beach party in the House Lounge with everything but the sand – limbo, music, sno-cones, leis. In Cathey House the Super Bowl is not just a time to watch football, but it is also the catalyst for the famed House chili cook-off. The House insignia is a bowtie in honor of Arley D. Cathey, Jr., a man widely known for his fondness of bowties.
Cathey House is named to recognize the contributions of College alumnus, Arley D. Cathey, Jr., PhB'50. Mr. Cathey, a native of El Dorado, Arkansas, entered the College at age 16. During his final two years, he lived in Burton-Judson Courts, which now adjoin the dining commons that bears his family name. He recalls fondly his years as an undergraduate at the University, where he was first exposed to classic texts like the Illiad and the Odyssey under then-president Robert Maynard Hutchins.
"I really think that reading the classics have helped shaped my beliefs to a great extent, probably as much as my family's instruction has guided me," Cathey said. "The University plays a good role in shaping a person's beliefs for life. It did mine."
He remembers many happy mornings reading on the Judson patio, looking south toward 63rd Street over an expanse of lawn. "I enjoyed that, never dreaming for an instant there would be a large building there…and certainly never dreaming that there would be anything that would bear my name," he said. "A lot of things happen that you never dream of happening, and that's what makes it so exciting and so rewarding."
Mr. Cathey asked that in naming the House, we honor his father, Arley D. Cathey, Sr.

Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Learn Japanese by studying words included in contemporary sentences. Japanese2000 contains 2000 common Japanese words and for each, kanji (when applicable), hiragana, romanji, english are included. The sentences are carefully constructed just for this application and focus primarily on the grammar found in JLPT levels N5 and N4.
Most applications containing sentences take them from the public available Japanese projects. These are however rather complex and difficult to grasp for beginner and intermediates.
Japanese2000 wants to overcome this and its sentences are created to be easy enough to be learned with moderate effort, but at the same time useful as they can be applied in normal conversation. Focus is on every day speech pattern, as a modern japanese between 20 and 30 years old would have said it. No stiff text book style.
Students of all levels will benefit from the application. Beginners can start of with the romanji support before having learnt hiragana and katakana. More advanced students can enable kanji focus and study using hiragana / kanji relation. Default study option is to use english / hiragana relation.
Note that japanese grammar style often omit the subject of the sentence. Due to that we have used a mix of inserting (I) and just used the basic verb form of the sentence. It might look strange to someone used to text book japanese, but this is the real thing!
8 levels are included, starting out easy and gradually become more difficult. This leads you effortlessly (sort of ;) to results. One level would normally take one month to pass unless you put in a lot of time and is dedicated.
The application uses interval study to effectively reinforce words and sentences. This will lead to focus on new words and words that you repeatedly fails to remember. Other words will reappear over time, more seldom if you know the words.
* 2000 common words
* 2000 specially crafted sentences
* following JLPT grammar N4, N5
* romanji for all words and sentences
* kanji for all words where applicable
* kanji focus study mode
* romanji study mode
* set study pace and completed threshold
Application produced by native japanese.
Make sure to check out the free version containing the first level, to see if this is something for you!

There are still some holes in the OS, but on most days I don't even notice them. Actually the exact opposite. I'm still stumbling onto things that make me go "Wow, I didn't know that was in there. For instance, last night I was talking about a movie with a friend, and I did a search for the name of the company of movie theatres in the area (Carmike). The first thing that the search returned was the list of showings at the local theatre.
In my opinion this upadate creates the best fundamental phone. If you strip away the respective app stores/marketplaces/etc. WP7 with Mango stands head and shoulders above the competition at this point in my opinion. Now we just need the new phones and more apps :)
My favorite thing about this has to be Grouping in People. Being able to create groups and then have live times display their various feeds makes keeping up with people so much easier. But that is only one of the many incredible things MS stuffed into this update.

I'm not finding any of those holes, but I am finding more and more functionality. The cool part is that most of the functionality is server-based, so as they update the services on the backend, they simply appear on the front end.
For instance, let's talk about Bing Maps. I've been running Mango for a few months, but in the last 2 weeks I've been seeing some new functionality in Maps like upcoming traffic congestion, accidents, etc. There's also driving hints like "If you reach so & so, you've gone to far."
Also, if you go to m.bing.com in your browser (IE9 & HTML 5-enabled), you can now see a bunch of Bing goodies (e.g., deals) that you couldn't see before.
I love the voice search ... simply press and hold the start key, Tell Me launches and you can do multiple things ... "Text Sosipater" ... "Call Sosipater Mobile" ... "Find Starbucks" ... "locate nearest movie theater" ... "What is Datil?" ... etc.
I could go on and on, but it's more fun if I let you find more of these great "upgrades" on your own!
Oct 20, 2011 at 4:16 UTC
I like the history in contacts to show phone calls, text and email from a single spot, so I do not have to search through text and email seperately to find something. I also like the Voice Search and the enhanced mapping is really cool.
Oct 24, 2011 at 3:01 UTC
I like the how the messaging works. Switching between Facebook Chat, Live Messenger and SMS is easy and all of it is in one place.
I also like the Local Scout and some of the smaller UI tweaks.
The ability to press and hold the back arrow to see running apps. Would be nice if I could close them like you can close an IE tab.
I didn't really think it was a big deal but the support for custom ringtones is nice. Now if only I could have custom alerts.
The other big thing was being able to consolidate mailboxes to one tile.
The history is also a plus.
And I can't forget about the browser update. That is a big feature improvement.
Right now the only big issues I have with this platform is that some developers are slow to adopt it.
Oct 25, 2011 at 5:32 UTC
1st Post
love the new messaging options aswell as full Facebook and twitter integration.
still some holes but nothing major.
Oct 26, 2011 at 10:49 UTC
The "history" view for contactsa and the "conversation" view in Outlook has had the most impact on me thus far. Oh, and the better search in Marketplace for sure.
Nov 9, 2011 at 10:05 UTC
I think the biggest impact has been the improvements in Mobile IE9.
Now that it's HTML 5-capable and more mobile sites are catering HTML 5-enabled sites, I find myself using the browser more than apps. Even on other devices, I don't think the most apps are as cable as their HTML 5 companions online. Maybe it's the sites I visit, but the speed and functionality is incredible!
Next, I'd have to say all the improvements in Bing like Maps, Voice, Vision, Local Scout and the integrated search.
I also use TellMe more and more to quickly access information, whether it's launching an app or looking something up on Bing.
The more I use Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango), the more I love it!

kapil17 Review
Good product overall worth the price.
Three tie rods that connects glass to the main frame needs a redesigned by manufacturere, it is very difficult to secure all three connectors tight enough to safely mount the glass. Be very carefull in connecting these rods. It took me a lot of time to get it close to where it should be, I am still a little bit scheptical about it. I have assemblem many products like this and am very handy with fixing things all over my house but this piece was a challenge for me. Manufacturer should use some other mechanism to tie these rods, I think there should be a reversible nut that would tightens one side of the tie ros and losens the other.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Very close to how ity is shown on the site.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Worth around $100 and not more than that. I bought it closer to that.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Site shared reviews.

How critical can one be of Israel? It is a question that Germany has been debating since SPIEGEL ONLINE columnist Jakob Augstein was included on the Simon Wiesenthal Center's list of the world's worst anti-Semites. Political leaders in Berlin have a different answer than Germans at large.
