Topic: Pain killers & nausea -- any suggestions?
To control my back pains, my doctor moved me from percocet onto oxycontin pain killers. The idea is to use a time released version of the oxycontin (2 20 mg tablets every 12 hours) and then supplement with 5mg tablets for any breakthrough pain.
I've noticed that when I take the main dose every 12 hours, I get very drowsy and feel somewhat nauseous (sp?). I think it might be better if I try balancing the dosage out (maybe 1x20mg every 6 hours so it is level loaded) or something. Wondering if anyone else has any ideas about how they have timed their pain killers to deal with similar issues?

The early success of British roots-rock band Gomez stemmed largely from curiosity, because while most late-'90s Britpop acts were trying to revive The Kinks, Gomez was shooting for Joe Cocker. Gomez didn't make a top-to-bottom solid album until 2002's In Our Gun, which contemporized its sound a little, and now its fourth disc, Split The Difference, follows its title's lead, balancing In Our Gun's wiggy experiments with the straightforward rock of the band's original conception. Split The Difference isn't as strong as In Our Gun, but it does show Gomez continuing to explore relaxed, earthy songwriting, with fruitful results.
The album-opener, "Do One," sets the pace with loose percussion, heavy guitars, and rambling Ben Ottewell vocals. The song offers no discernible structure, but at its abbreviated run time, its free-swinging combination of aggression and idleness remains sweetly mysterious. The driving, hooky "These 3 Sins" is much tighter, but the group's clattering rhythms still sound free and easy, and in punchy anthems like "Silence" and "Catch Me Up," the playing sounds unforced and in the pocket. Split The Difference lacks songs as memorable as "Whippin' Picadilly" and "Shot Shot," but though Gomez has replaced the archetypal, Band-derived folk of its early records with a Pearl Jam-like shaggy roar, the easygoing air makes the record breathe more. The ambition is low, but the pleasure high.
More is at stake with Marah's 20,000 Streets Under The Sky. Hailed as the potential savior of old-fashioned rock 'n' roll after its 2000 sophomore album Kids In Philly, Marah took a hit to its reputation when the follow-up, Float Away With The Friday Night Gods, came out too overproduced and bombastic for many of the band's followers. For 20,000 Streets, lead singer David Bielanko and his guitarist brother Serge scale back the sheen, but cling madly and bravely to Float Away's big sound. The opening one-two of the midtempo ballad "East" and the rocker "Freedom Park" makes a bold statement, as Marah fills the tracks with whirling soundharmonicas, flutes, bells, chantswhile David Bielanko describes an evening cityscape of blurred lights, exotic aromas, and real danger.
On its own terms, 20,000 Streets Under The Sky is a stirring piece of Springsteen-esque rock positivism, with most of its 11 songs designed to yank breathless listeners through crowded downtown avenues. But it's hard to fall in love over and over again, and longtime Marah fans may feel that 20,000 Streets doesn't articulate any musical or lyrical idea that wasn't expressed more simply and endearingly on Kids In Philly. More than once on the new record, the Bielankos seem to be trying too hard, though it's tough to knock a record for excessive generosity. With its rich musicality and its cast of romantics, hustlers, and neighborhood legends, 20,000 Streets Under The Sky is a banquet, where most records are mere snacks.

I love when celebrities gush about how much money's worth of diamonds they're draped in, or let it slip that they're being followed closely but a security guard (or three). We all know that the diamonds go back the next day, but for one night, the stars are literally shining and it's wonderful.
It can't be that easy to get the goods from the fine jewelry showroom onto an actresses's neck and back to the store in a mere 72 hours. So we got the scoop from the people at Neil Lane—you know, the guys that get The Bachelor the engagement ring and outfit celebs like Zooey Deschanel and Jennifer Lawrence—on what it was like during last year's Oscars, when Rachel Zoe's team chose a stunning 200-carat darkened diamond and platinum necklace for Jennifer Garner to wear.
Team Zoe came into the Neil Lane store during the week of the Oscars to check out jewelry options for a few of the stylist's clients. The team sent photos of the dress options to the jeweler so they could discuss the overall look. Mr. Lane began pulling pieces and thought of the 200-carat, darkened diamond and platinum necklace. It's one of the most prized pieces in his collection and had never been loaned out before. Zoe's team and Mr. Lane decided on a few select options for Jennifer Garner, including the dazzling statement necklace.

This tutorial is going to assume a few things....
1. You have at least 2 neurons in your brain and that there is not to much tar build up between them from smoking tweed.
2. Your already partitioned and ready to go. (If you need a tutorial on partitioning I cant help you)
3. You have heard of a shell and know how to get one going.
Alright so lets begin. I'm going to cover installing backtrack to harddrive to ways. #1 with a /boot partition and #2 where bt is all on one partition. (just a side note. The team is trying to shy away from HD installs and is encouraging USB install which in my humble opinion is the best way to go).Most of this info is from various sources on the wiki and I will attempt to put it into one tutorial for newer members.
So you have a fresh HD with 3 partitions..
sda3= /
Boot your live cd and open a bash shell and begin.
If your swap is not yet made then do this..(otherwise omit this step)
bt~#mkswap /dev/sda2
bt~#swapon /dev/sda2
bt~#mkdir /mnt/backtrack
bt~#mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/backtrack/
bt~#mkdir /mnt/backtrack/boot/
bt~#mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/backtrack/boot/ (note: If you only have one partiton to install backtrack to simply omit this step)
bt~#cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,usr,etc,lib,opt,sbin,va r} /mnt/backtrack/ <<< note: there is no space in var. Seems to be a glitch in the matrix
bt~#mkdir /mnt/backtrack/{mnt,proc,sys,tmp}
bt~#mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/backtrack/dev/
bt~#mount -t proc proc /mnt/backtrack/proc/
bt~#cp /boot/vmlinuz /mnt/backtrack/boot/
Now for lilo.
bt~#chroot /mnt/backtrack/ /bin/bash
bt~#nano /etc/lilo.conf
Now I like to delete all the bulls**t in the lilo config file so here is what mine would look like. (remember to set your own VGA accordingly )
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/sda3
label = backtrack3_final
Excellent. Save that and then execute lilo (I like to use the verbose flag)
bt~#lilo -v
after that exit your chroot enviorment
and reboot and cross your fingers
title Backtrack 3 KDE
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=791 root=/dev/sda3 ro autoexec=xconf;kdm
title Backtrack 3
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=791 root=/dev/sda3 ro
REMEMBER: hd0,2 would be for partition 3 NOT 2. Change accordingly!
================================================== ===
Dr. Walter - Depraved linguist, Benevolent troublemaker extraordinaire
================================================== ===
I agree w/encouraging a usb boot, but I'm sure there are reasons to want it on a hard drive... if only to have a place to play around
Nice Tutorial will try it when I'm done downloading BT3 Final.
You forgot the "(" before hd0,2
title Backtrack 3 KDE
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=791 root=/dev/sda3 ro autoexec=xconf;kdm
title Backtrack 3
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=791 root=/dev/sda3 ro
Replaced BT3b with BT3 Final using the above procedure, works like a champ.
Also, what are the minimum/recommended sizes for the partitions?
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them, because they change things.
I made a few minor changes to make a basic upgrade method:
You should already have swap so skip that part
After mounting your existing backtrack partition to /mnt/backtrack, copy any configuration files (e.g. /etc/X11/xorg.conf or individual app configs) somewhere.
When doing this part:
DONT cp home or root but remove the other dirs first so:cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,usr,etc,lib,opt,sbin,va r} /mnt/backtrack/
I didn't have to touch grub (apart from change the name of my "Backtrack Beta 3" entry to "Backtrack 3 Final" so nothing major) so lilo should be ok tooCode:rm -rf /mnt/backtrack/{bin,dev,pentest,usr,etc,lib,opt,sbin,var} cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,pentest,usr,etc,lib,opt,sbin,var} /mnt/backtrack/
Then simply cp your config files back

[EDITING] Checking a units speed using speed vectors
Though arma knows speed to return a unit's movement speed, this unfortunately only returns km/h, making it incomparable to getSpeed which returns units per second.
So if we wanted to check if a unit is moving at a certain speed and then want something to happen we have to use velocity.:
In the example, a unit sets off a trigger that activates nul=[thisList] execVM "speedcheck.sqf"Code:
_unit = _this select 0; _speed = sqrt ( (velocity _unit select 0)^2 + (velocity _unit select 1)^2 + (velocity _unit select 2)^2 ); //triangulation reduces the array velocity returns to a single number _allowedSpeed = (_unit getSpeed "Normal"); //we define the allowed movement speed (for infantry "Normal" is a jog at 4.0) if (_speed > _allowedSpeed) then { _running = 1; //the unit is running } else { _running = 0; //the unit is going slower than jogging}; if (f_var_debugMode == 1) then { //using the default F2 Debug parameter player sidechat format ["_speed:%1,_allowedspeed=%2", _speed, _allowedspeed]; player sidechat format ["running:%1",_running];};
Thanks to Nullkigan for coming up with the codestuff.

It's okay to not like things.
Not sure that will work because "this" in activation will return false, not a unit as you want.
Here's an example I whipped up for velocity sensitve IEDs:

I am making a website, and on the front page is a list of books:
I want for the user to click the Book1 box, for example, and have a previously hidden chapters list fold downward, so that after the click the page appears like this:
Is this doable with only html and css? What html elements would I use? Lists, like a navigation menu? And what would the css look like?It's most important to answer what html element should I use, as I will be structuring the page first and styling it later.
I think you're looking for this:
http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/css-content-accordion/Demo: http://media02.hongkiat.com/css-based-accordion/demo/index.html#vertservices
Just get rid of the styles or keep them and it will achieve what you have asked for.
Hope it helps.
@Tapan ;Yes, I think that that was what I was looking for.
Now I have a new problem, when I right-click in Explorer, "create new txt file" isn't an option...Probably from installing Notepad++
Thanks for that link
Why do you want to do that? There's prolly a better option.
I want to do that so I can create a new txt file in whichever folder I'm in quickly. I don't know of any faster way. Do you?
btw by "explorer" I mean "windows explorer," not "internet explorer". Don't know if that was clear.
O, I see (I did think you meant IE!). Because I have my simple .txt program set up to do code, I also had a similar problem (although on a Mac). I just created a blank .txt file that always sits on my desktop, and when I want a new one, I just Option/click to duplicate it and drag it where I want. Very simple.
Well, I did actually solve my problem after making that post. I had to edit some registry values to do it.
Incidentally, the reason I needed to make .txt files was to then turn them into .html or .css files (more types later I'm sure), but in fact the registry edits I made to make .txt available again I then used to make "new .html document" available from the right-click menu as well. So, now I can just right-click in whichever folder I want to create an html file in, and make it on the spot! CSS as well.
For the record, Tapan, I ended up using the guide and it works beautifully. I styled it in a much different way, of course, and I was able to achieve exactly what I had visualized before making this thread (well, almost exactly -- Mac Firefox renders it a bit weird...).
Are you using a proper doctype ?


text: This page seems unnecessary. It's hardly even related to the Magical World, let alone Harry Potter. From what I gather (putting toilet humor aside), it's an article about an ingredient related to an ingredient used in the making of Polyjuice Potion. Even though it says in the article that urine is used in the making of Polyjuice Potion, I've never seen mention of this in the books or by JKR. And even if it is, it still seems unnecessary, as it could simply be boiled down to a mention in the article for Polyjuice Potion itself. -JDRooDigger 12:18, August 1, 2011 (EST)

Bridget Jones Is Back! What We Can Expect From the Book, Its Release Date + More
Helen Fielding's third Bridget Jones book finally has a release date: November 2013! Here's what we can expect from Bridget 14 years later.
-Lucia Peters
Bridget Jones is back!
News broke last fall that author Helen Fielding was working on a third Bridget Jones novel 14 years after the release of Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. And according to the Hollywood Reporter, the new book finally has a release date: November 2013. Are you as excited as we are? Because we're over the moon about it!
The book will be published by Knopf. Chairman and Editor in Chief Sonny Mehta announced the news on Tuesday; about the book, he said, "Few writers can rival Helen Fielding when it comes to full capturing the modern woman. I have been waiting a long time to see what's next for Bridget Jones, and I am beyond thrilled she's back."
What can we expect from the new book? No details have been released yet—we don't have a title yet, either—but according to EW, a) there's a third Bridget Jones movie in development, too; and b) the book won't follow the planned plot of the movie, which involves Bridget having a baby. An interview with the BBC Fielding gave last November has a few hints about what we've got to look forward to, though, so here are some tidbits for you:
– Why now?: "I just found last spring I had a new subject, I had new stuff I wanted to say and things that were making me laugh—things that didn't exist when I wrote the last Bridget. Like emails, really. And texting. The way life is lived through texting and Twitter and a whole new idea for a phase of her life."
– On whether Bridget is still keeping up her tally of cigarettes and alcohol units: "It's actually more like 'number of Twitter followers: 0. Still no followers. Still no followers.'" LOVE.
Read 6 Ways We're All Bridget Jones
– On the Mark Darcy-Daniel Cleaver dichotomy: "Some characters remain and some may have disappeared. People stay in your life, but everyone's life moves on." We're imagine that this means that Mark is still around (maybe they got married?), but that Daniel is long gone. We'll have to wait and see, though.
– On what the book is about: "In the same ways the first Bridget Jones book was looking at the way a 30-something single woman was branded as a tragic spinster and then we got the new idea of a singleton, [the third book is] looking at later phases in life where you get branded as a certain thing, and you don't have to be that at all, and it's all outdated and ridiculous."
Fielding has noted, "My life has moved on, and Bridget's will move on, too. I hope people will have as much fun reading it as I am writing it." We're sure we will!

Shipping tomatoes in corrugated boxes can be significantly cheaper than shipping them in reusable plastic containers, according to a new study.
Corrugated can be 25% cheaper than RPCs, concludes a study by the Elk Grove Village, Ill.-based Corrugated Packaging Alliance, according to an alliance news release.
The study used data provided by a large tomato grower in Mexico. A software-modeling tool analyzed costs for using corrugated vs. RPCs to ship 144 million pounds of roma tomatoes to Houston.
Using corrugated saved $6.8 million annually, according to the analysis.
Backhaul requirements, washing and handling costs and other costs associated with RPCs account for the cost difference.
"Grocery retailers are looking to improve profits by reducing costs throughout the entire distribution channel," Dennis Colley, the alliance's executive director, said in the release. "Transportation packaging is one area that retailers scrutinize for possible cost savings."
Growers and retailers save money when corrugated containers are used to ship tomatoes, according to the study.
An analysis of the same data using a special rental analysis module shows that, in a typical leasing arrangement, the retailer pays $3.5 million (17%) more to receive roma tomatoes shipped in RPCs vs. corrugated.
The grower pays $893,000 (12%) more to ship in RPCs.

Alberta Football League
The St. Albert Stars line up against the Grande Prairie Drillers Saturday afternoon for their first home game in over a month. The game kicks off at 2 p.m. in Riel field.
Last Saturday the Stars met the Lloydminster Vandals in the Vandals� arena and stomped them into the grass with a score of 35-14.
The Stars came out firing early with four quick touchdowns including a 59-yard punt return by Terrence Williams. By the end of the first quarter the Stars were ahead 28-0.
The Vandals picked up a score in the second quarter but a 75-yard touchdown reception by Williams put the game out of their grasp.
The Stars are returning to St. Albert after a three game road trip saw the team visit Calgary, Fort McMurray, and Lloydminster for most of June and July.
All-Star game postponed
The annual St. Albert Men�s League All-Star game was scheduled to take place Sunday at Riel turf field but has been postponed until sometime in August.
The All-Star kits being held up by customs in Montreal caused the delay.
The date of the rescheduled game wasn�t available at press time.
Last year�s All-Star game was an exciting back and forth affair that ended in a 1-1 draw.
Lacrosse Junior B playoffs
The St. Albert Crude met the rival Saskatchewan SWAT Friday night at Akinsdale Arena to kick off the Junior B playoffs. The score was not available at press time.
The first place Crude earned home arena advantage with 15 wins, four losses and one tie in the regular season.
Injuries have plagued the Crude all season long but head coach Terry Dokken is confident the team will have a full roster for the playoffs.
The SWAT was one of the few teams to beat the Crude during the regular season.
Game two of the best of three series between the Crude and SWAT takes place Saturday night at Akinsdale Arena at 6 p.m.
A conditional game three is scheduled for Sunday at noon at Akinsdale Arena if the teams trade wins.
Lacrosse Senior B playoffs
The Senior B Division playoffs kicked off Wednesday night with a lopsided match between the first and fourth place teams.
St. Albert�s Senior Miners ran over the Edmonton Outlaws 14-5 in a game that was over before the second period started.
The Sr. Miners� trademark high intensity style gave the fans a lot to cheer for in the early moments of the game. The team scored seven goals in the first period of play and was up by 10 after two.
It was the dominant performance that fans have come to expect from the Sr. Miners. They tore up their division in the regular season with a perfect 16-0 record and looked unstoppable.
The Miners and the Outlaws played the second game of this best of five on Friday night but scores were unavailable at press time.
The third game of the best of five series is set for Wednesday night at Coronation Arena in Edmonton. The ball drops at 8 p.m.

See attached graph. I have a PXI-6229. There are two temperature measurements from identical RTD amplifiers plugged into adjacent channels in Referenced Single Ended (RSE) mode. Note that one of the channels is considerably noiser than the other. I have swapped everything upstream of the A/D card, yet the noise stays with this channel. Why?
Hey wa5ycg,
Thanks for posting you question in our forums. I noticed you have also opened a phone support service request for this issue with Joe S. I'll make sure to work with him on this issue proceeding from here. My understanding is that each of the RTD's are connected to channels 5, 6, and 7. Are all of these RTD's in a very similar environment?
Yes, all of the RTD's are in the same environment. We have swap RTD's, cables, amplifiers, to try to make the problem move in order to isolate the problem. We have determined that the problem is NOT upstream of the SCB68 which is connected to the PXI-6229. Channels 0-4, 11, 14 & 15 are open. Channels 8-10, 12 & 13 are connected to voltage inputs.
I am waiting for test results from one of the machines in the fields to quantify the signal going into channels 5 & 6 with an o-scope.

Hi Steve,
Assuming you're using the SHC68-68-EPM cable, the wires are configured in shielded twisted pair bundles. The AI+ and AI- lines (if you were measuring differentially) are each twisted together. You can see the full wire pairings here. For a visual idea of the cross-section of the cable, you can refer here.
Anyway, due to this architecture AI5 ends up being paired up with AI13 (since AI13 is also AI5- when measuring differentially). It seems quite possible that the noise could be coupling onto AI5 from the signal on AI13. I'd suggest trying to disconnect AI13 (or even ground it if you are still seeing noise) to verify whether or not this is the problem. AI6 and AI7 would be paired with AI14 and AI15, which it sounds like are unused in your application so this would be consistent with only seeing noise on AI5.
I'd suggest configuring and connecting the hardware in differential mode since you only have 8 signals. However, to avoid too much rewiring it might be easier to simply use AI11 (which is paired with the unused AI3) for the power supply measurement rather than AI 13.
If this is not the problem then I'm not sure what the issue could be, let me know if this doesn't help and I can look into it a bit more thoroughly. You should also confirm what cable and terminal block you are using.
Best Regards,
I am pretty much stuck with RSE and can not move to Differential. I have tried disconnecting AI13 and connecting to ground. No improvement. I have tried grounding AI13 and AI15. No improvement.
Anything else?
Joe mentioned that you have potentially discovered the problem--tieing the ground from your power supply to the ground of the DAQ device through pin 59. Pin 59 is tied to the shield of the twisted pair that includes AI5 and AI13, so any ground potential difference would be dropped across this shield carrying your analog signals and would be tightly coupled to the actual signal on the line.
If Differential isn't an option perhaps this would be a good time to point out NRSE as an alternative. This involves connecting your external ground reference to the AI Sense terminal. Doing this would prevent the ground loop you are seeing with the two dissimilar grounds tied together through the shield on the cable. As long as the ground reference of your power supply is not drifting relative to the DAQ device (presumably they are both tied to earth ground in some way) then NRSE should be a reasonable approach.
You'll probably still want to avoid having two different voltage signals on the same twisted pair if you can help it, but it sounds like in this case this wasn't the cause of the problem.

Frank Ocean, the main headliner for this weekend's Splendour in the Grass music festival, has cancelled his Australian tour because of an apparently career-threatening vocal cord injury.
Promoter Live Nation posted a message on its Twitter feed about 4pm this afternoon confirming the cancellation.
Ocean played the first of two Melbourne shows last night at Festival Hall, during which he repeatedly apologised for having a cold.
Ocean was scheduled to play again tonight at Festival Hall, then at Splendour on Sunday night at Byron Bay, followed by two shows at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion on Monday and Tuesday nights. But all remaining gigs on this tour have been cancelled.
"It has been confirmed that Ocean has suffered a small tear to one of his vocal cords and has received medical advice that he must rest his voice," Live Nation and Niche Productions said in a statement. "This makes completion of his remaining Australian dates impossible."
A spokesperson from Splendour in the Grass said it was "devastating news" for the event.
"We are absolutely devastated," the spokesperson said. "We are totally gutted that Frank can't make it and we know that many of our patrons will be just as disappointed as we are."
The medical advice he received was that permanent damage could occur if he continued to sing, according to the festival spokesperson.
Patrons who booked tickets for the Sydney and Melbourne only shows, either online or by phone, using a credit card will be automatically refunded. Those who purchased tickets from an outlet are being advised that they will need to return to the outlet to apply for a refund.
It is unlikely, however, that Splendour tickets will be refunded since there are more than 70 acts at the festival, despite Ocean being the closing act of the weekend event.

One of the best things about our lives is that we eat for a living. We travel the country for Unique Sweets eating the best desserts each city has to offer, and then we get sent to Manhattan to get made up all purty and talk about what we ate on camera. We sip cocktails at some of the best and most innovative watering holes in the world, and even get to banter with the brilliant bartenders slinging those libations. Before you think we're bragging, let's talk about: our muffin tops, dresses that don't fit, and a general feeling of malaise that comes with eating like you mean it. It's not all sunshine and cupcakes.
So after our final trip for this season of Unique Sweets — currently airing Sunday nights at 10:30pm ET — Georgia decided that the best way to get back into the swing of things was a good ol' juice cleanse. (Note: we live in L.A. Can you tell?)
Those in the know claim that a juice cleanse is a great way to rid your body of toxins, lose a few pesky pounds of belly fat, and get back on track with your normal healthy eating/working-out lifestyle. Sounded like just what was needed. After plenty of research, and one failed day of managing her own juice cleanse using her Vitamix, Georgia decided to go with the three day Foundation cleanse from BluePrint Cleanse. After getting through the cleanse, here are a few of Georgia's tips:
1. Get Excited
Go ahead, hype it up. Going into a juice cleanse dreading every drink and planning for failure is a self fulfilling prophecy. Tell your friends all about the cleanse so you have someone to get excited with, and also someone to own up to… also so that they know not to invite you out to your favorite burger place on day two.
2. Don't Beat Yourself Up
As much as I would like to tell you that I followed through with the juice cleanse exactly as planned and shunned food for the entire three days, I'd be lying. I'm not a liar. By mid afternoon on days one and two I was STARVING. Instead of giving in and eating the entire contents of the fridge, I had the foresight to know that this might happen, and therefore had made a batch of quinoa the day before. After half a cup of the protein-rich seed, I was back on track. By day three I wasn't jonesing for quinoa, but it was nice knowing it was there — just in case.
3. Pay Attention To Your Mind & Body
Okay, so you slipped up and had that half a cup of quinoa…or maybe it was a slice of cheese or your roommates leftover Chinese food. Whatever. Keep going with the cleanse! After a lifetime of eating, completely shunning the enjoyable act of CONSUMING FOOD — even for a couple of days — is hard. Discipline takes practice, and quitting the cleanse completely for one slip up is like punishing yourself. Instead, acknowledge your slip up, and use it as a tool to understand your eating patterns and triggers. I learned that every time I leave the house, the first thought that pops into my mind is "what am I going to get to eat while I'm out?" Now I can pay attention to that thought instead of just blindly following through with it.
It's taken me gaining and then losing ten+ pounds in the last couple years to really understand moderation and how to take care of myself in this business of food. I've also learned that there's no easy fix, and that being healthful is a lifelong effort. Eating healthy isn't a default for me, though, so this juice cleanse was a great way to refocus my eating habits from all gluttony, all the time, to being more mindful and self aware.
Also: I bet the beet juice would be great in a nice gin cocktail. What, is that bad?

Much of his early research in geology involved describing and interpreting oil reservoir rocks. He has published papers on oil fields in North Ameirca, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. This work contributed to our understanding of the origin of oil in giant oil-sand deposits and the formation of porosity in subsurface limestone reservoirs. Dr. Moshier is also interested in ancient and modern reef depositional environments (allowing him occasional trips to snorkel in the Bahamas and Belize). He is featured as one of the Wheaton Experts. More recently, Dr. Moshier's research efforts are in the field of geoarchaeology. In 1998, he visited the northwest Sinai coast with Egyptologist James Hoffmeier (Trinity International University) to look for potential excavation sites associated with the ancient Egyptian New Kingdom. From 1998 to 2007 Dr. Moshier served as team geologist in Dr. Hoffmeier's excavation of Tell el-Borg. Field mapping conducted in the area of the excavation has resulted in a reconstruction of the area's physical geography in New Kingdom times, putting archaeological sites in proper geographic context. For example, an ancient stream that ran through the site, now buried beneath the desert floor, was discovered using satellite photography and hand-dug trenches. In 2008, Dr. Moshier joined the Harvard University-Leon Levy Expedition to Tell Asheklon in Israel. Dr. Moshier involves students in his research, including fieldwork at archaeological sites and lab and remote sensing work back at Wheaton College. Dr. Moshier has served as past president of the Geological Society of Kentucky and the Affiliation of Christian Geologists. He is a member of several professional geological societies. In the Department of Geology and Environmental Science, Dr. Moshier is responsible for education in the areas of earth history, sedimentology, stratigraphy, marine biology, petroleum geology, and geoarchaeology. He teaches general education courses on Natural Disasters, Geology of National Parks, and Theories of Origins. Dr. Moshier serves as Director of the Black Hills Program at the Wheaton College Science Station. Dr. Moshier and his wife have two grown sons. Dr. and Mrs. Moshier are active in their church in Geneva IL and have served on the local advisory board for YoungLife in Kane County. The Moshier family enjoyed many summers together in the Black Hills at the Wheaton College Science Station. Doc Mo, as students call him, was interested in space exploration as a child and active in scouting, which led to his study of geology in college. His other interests include music (his sons are jazz musicians), travel (a benefit of being a geologist) and reading space history and historical biographies.

Understanding Economic Concepts, Applying In A Global Perspective
May 9, 2012 by in Columnist Spotlight | Finance
Within the past few decades we have become a global economy, which adds great opportunity but also risk. Our global economy is affected by many more factors today and is connected deeply with other countries. How does this affect the United Sates? It can affect us in many ways. Before analyzing our global economy it's… Read More →

As the Juno Moneta (she who warns) she guarded over the finances of the empire and had a temple on the Arx (one of two Capitoline hills), close to the Royal Mint. She was also worshipped in many other cities, where temples were built in her honor.
The primary feast of Juno Lucina, called the Matronalia, was celebrated on March 1. On this day, lambs and other cattle were sacrificed to her. Another festival took place on July 7 and was called Nonae Caprotinae ("The Nones of the Wild Fig"). The month of June was named after her.
She can be identified with the Greek goddess Hera and, like Hera, Juno was a majestical figure, wearing a diadem on the head. The peacock is her symbolic animal. A juno is also the protecting and guardian spirit of females.

It's still the best thing in all of sports, the Stanley Cup playoffs, the handshake lines, the presentation of the Stanley Cup. I can't even tell you how many times I've seen the winning captain lift the Cup and then hand it off to teammates, but every one of them thrills me to no end.
1) Game over, season over.
2) I told you the Devils PK stunk, and I was convinced when the Rangers scored those PPGs against them. They finished up with 22 PPGs allowed in 24 post-season games, and an embarrassing 73 percent kill rate. Awful.
3) And as some of those goals were scored, and some of the other great chances LA had in this game, I couldn't help but think that those shots wouldn't have gotten through against the Rangers. I guess I just got used to seeing shots contested and blocked and altered all season long, but that's what jumped out at me on many chances last night. The Devils' D-men kind of ole'd them. And now those who decried the Rangers' shot blocking, well, here's another team that didn't do it and paid the ultimate price.
4) Nice going there by Steve Bernier. Had to be the worst five-hour plane ride as any hockey player has ever had to endure. To tell the truth, I had to make some phone calls and missed the penalty and the three PPGs live. Saw them all later on. But the officials sure got that one right, and a bunch of others right … and a few wrong.
5) Captain America Dustin Brown was awful in Game 5, and that's what captains do — they play their best the next time out. That's what Ryan Callahan did after his stinker in the ECF. He was the Rangers' best player the next game.
6) What's up with these NBC guys who say Game No. 6 and period No. 2, when everybody else on the planet says Game 6 or period 2, or second period? And how about Brown dropping an F-bomb on Pierre McGuire on live TV?
7) I hope NBC doesn't mess up my U.S. Open viewing this weekend as much as it messed up my hockey all year. Nice job running out of there before the celebration was over. Geez. What's the hurry? Horrible.
8) How about Milk Carton Clarkson thinking he could run around like a clown and get away with it?
9) Where's all our Devils trolls today?
10) Three American-born Conn Smythe Trophy winners now. Two from Connecticut.
11) I really do wonder if Martin Brodeur will go out this way. I kind of hope he doesn't. I'd love to know what he said to Conn Smythe winner Jonathan Quick in the handshake line, but he sure had a lot to say. Like I mentioned earlier, the handshake line is one of the greatest things in sports.
12) I've said it many times. I wish the NHL would start a tradition by which the captain of the previous Stanley Cup champion comes out onto the ice with the commissioner and presents the Cup to the captain of the new champion. I just think it would be so cool, especially since it has become that the champion "owns" the Cup for the year.
13) As True Blue Mike pointed out late last night, another team that began the season in Europe has won the Cup. That's four Cup winners in a row now.

The weekend arrived with new deep-fallen snow with trees and shrubs laced in fine lines defining contrasts of the light and dark of wintertime. I was refreshed to watch the winter birds fly in to partake of the feeder's offerings I had placed not far from my window. Cardinals, woodpeckers, finches, sparrows, nuthatches, chick-a-dees and juncos all sharing in the splendid fare, granting sights and colors for my eye. Home was nice.
The phone rang and the invitation was made for an impromptu hike to one of the Ashland County parks. With a quick finish of chores at hand, I was soon ready to venture out into the paths of the park and dressed for the weather. Friends are nice.
Together, four friends struck out along the snowy path between the trees and along the pond's edge. Fresh tracks already had marked the snow. Others were out enjoying a winter's walk in the park, too. Along the trails and around the pond, we walked while noticing animal tracks left in the snow, bird nests viewable because the leaves were off the trees, lichens on the trees, birds in flight and in the end, how fun to build a snowman. Winter fun is nice.
Ashland County Park District will offer a guided winter hike to Mohican's Lyons Falls 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 12 with volunteers Dave and Michelle Howe leading. Participants are asked to meet at the dam at 1:45 p.m. dressed for the weather and prepared for the strenuous hike that may be slippery or treacherous. Upon the return, hikers will enjoy Sam Weyrick's refreshments of tea and hot chocolate.
March marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of Ashland County Park District. With just a network of dedicated volunteers, many opportunities have been opened for the people of Ashland County and others from rustic scenic beauty, to the daintiest spring flowers, to endangered plants and creatures, to the fresh air and green space many crave, including hunters with much in between and beyond.
In 2000, Ashland County commissioners developed a comprehensive plan, a guide to the development of the county for future generations with the inclusion of a countywide park district including the directive for each township to eventually have a "green-space" park. In 2002, Ashland's probate judge officially created Ashland County Park District. Through the generous support of individuals, organizations and funds through the Clean Ohio Act, some 1,700 acres have crossed into the stewardship of the park district. Of those acres, there are 15 specific parks with 13 readied and opened to the public. Additionally, the 5013 support group, Friends of Ashland County Park District was created, the informative website at www.ashlandcountyparksdistrict.com was put up, a Facebook page opened and the dedicated endowment fund at Ashland County Community Foundation was established. Community is nice.
There's just something special about a winter walk. I am not sure if it is the way nature resounds in my ears or the scenic views for my eyes, or the chill that turns my nose and cheeks pink. But this I do know " coming home again is nice.

Extreme nursery makeover: Friends get busy to help cancer-battling Nels Melgaard's business prep for spring | Second work party is Saturday
Nels Melgaard has never seen his friends and neighbors come together in such a big way before—not locally, certainly not on behalf of a single person.
Yet Nels was the man at the center of a two-weekend effort that saw patrons, friends, fellow members of Sallal Grange, and their families, arrive at his Nursery at Mount Si, for work parties aimed at getting this cancer-battling North Bend man's business a huge boost before the busy season.
Nels and his Nursery have had a rough time of it in recent years. Hungry, invasive elk and several frigid springs in a row put dampers on his business over the last three years; Last fall was the first time Melgaard could open up a pumpkin patch since 2008.
Last summer, Nels got worse news, discovering he had colon cancer. He survived major surgery in January and is regaining his strength, but has more battles with chemotherapy ahead.
So, with the hard work of spring ahead, Nels was surprised and moved to see nearly 100 people gather last Saturday, Feb. 9, for a volunteer work party to help keep him and the business rolling. Friend Teresa Warren of North Bend organized a "Nursery at Mount Si work party" event on Facebook, and the planned party steamrolled from there. Nels watched and helped as dozens of locals arrived to clean up the nursery beds, landscape, tend to fruit trees, plant seedlings, put new doors on greenhouses, clean, price and set up merchandise, and generally boost the business in a way that his small staff could never achieve so quickly.
"It would have taken us a year!" Nels said.
"This was amazing," added nursery manager Christine Earl. "Talk about random acts of kindness. There were so many kind, wonderful people here."
Karen Granger, one of Nels' Grange friends, helped get the word out. She tried to explain the impact that Melgaard, North Bend's 2011 Citizen of the Year, has had on his community, and why so many were willing to step up and help.
"He is the heart and soul of the new Grange," said Granger. "He was the connector. Somehow, he is integral. He's the glue."
She was there Saturday and watched as families, including young children, pitched in.
"Everybody just went to work," Granger said.
A second gathering and work party is planned for this Saturday, Feb. 16, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can learn more about it on Facebook.
Kind words from the web
Friends exchanged their thoughts following the event, online, in messages that Nels shared.
"Nels and Anne, being a part of this beautiful day was incredible. It was so fun to watch the nursery transform under the hands of our great community of friends. My children got to be a part of something that they won't soon forget," commented friend Katie Bergerson.
"Some moments feel vacant and disconnected. This was NOT one of those days," said Anne Melgaard, Nels' wife. "I am so impressed by the busy workers, prayers and kind words that continue to come our way... The Melgaards are blessed and we know it! Thanks for coming out and thanks for having fun doing it! Smiles smiles smiles Hugs Hugs Hugs!!!!"
"Did you see all the smiles and hugs and yes a few tears today at your wonderful nursery?" wrote North Bend resident Bev Jorgensen. "Everyone who was there had to go away feeling blessed and full of love! This day was a day of community spirit and love! You opened a great door again! We're all in this together and we just have to continue to share love and stay open for opportunities."

Ohio State University Extension will host a Farm Tax Webinar Feb. 6 to help farmers understand new tax laws and rules adapted after the "fiscal cliff" legislation.
The two-hour program will offer updates on key issues pertinent to farmers, said Larry Gearhardt, director of the Ohio State University Income Tax School Program of OSU Extension.
"This webinar is so important because it's an opportunity to explain to farmers and producers the changes in tax laws as a result of the 'fiscal cliff' legislation," he said. "Some of those changes will have an impact on 2012 taxes, while other changes will have an impact on planning for future taxes."
One example is the new rule that allows farmers who don't make estimated tax payments an extra six weeks to file their 2012 taxes this year, Gearhardt said.
"Because of the confusion stemming from the new legislation, farmers who don't make estimated tax payments now have until April 15 to file their taxes, instead of the previous March 1 deadline," he said. "But there is a form that they must file in order to do so.
"Other changes, for example, may have an impact on future generations, such as the changes to the estate tax."
The webinar, which runs 7-9 p.m., can be viewed online by going to http://carmenconnect.osu.edu/ohioagmanager . No pre-registration is required.
The following issues will be discussed:
Fiscal Cliff Legislative Update
- Farm bill extension - What does it mean?
- Average Crop Revenue Election program (ACRE) update
- Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments program (SURE) update
- New income tax brackets section 179 extension and increase
- Special depreciation increase
- Payroll tax increase
- Filing status delay due to Form 4562
2012 Weather-Related Sales
- Crop insurance and disaster payments
- Weather-related livestock sales
- Estate tax issues
- New federal income tax limitations
- Elimination of Ohio estate tax
Miscellaneous Farm Issues
- Current Agricultural Use Value (CAUV) tax increase
- Oil and gas lease and royalty income
- Hunting lease income
- Conservation easement deduction
- Taxation of agriculture commodities
The webinar is offered by OSU Extension's Income Tax School Program. OSU Extension faculty Chris Bruynis, David Marrison and Gearhardt are the webinar presenters.
The webinar is a "great chance for producers and farmers to learn more about the changes in agricultural taxes," said Marrison, who is an OSU Extension educator.
"The fiscal cliff legislation had some interesting surprises for agriculture, especially the changes to the estate tax and with section 179, which is an accelerated way to write off expenses on the farm," he said. "There are a lot of other changes, such as those made to the payroll tax and special depreciation.
"Because of the fiscal cliff, there are countless changes to the tax law that affect agricultural businesses. We've tried to make it an easy two hours packed with information that people can connect to from the comforts of their homes."
