Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth are two to three times more
likely to start smoking as their straight peers. Although their reasons for smoking
may be similar, LGBT youth are also dealing with other issues, such as figuring
out who they are and where they fit in, dealing with hostile environments, and being
directly targeted with marketing from tobacco companies. Learn more about these
and other LGBT issues and how to deal without smoking.
"Although being
LGBT is part of who you are, it's not the only thing that defines you."
One of the biggest challenges teens face is creating a balance between wanting to
be independent with wanting to feel connected. You may want to be your own person,
make decisions for yourself and blaze your own trail. But you may also find that
your social relationships are more important than ever. Whether it is the connections
you have with friends, a romantic partner, your parents, or siblings, as much as
you want to be independent, you also want to feel close to and understood by the
important people in your life. Being LGBT adds a layer to this. Maybe you're
the only LGBT person you know, and that can make you feel lonely or even scared.
It could also be really empowering. Maybe you have a great group of LGBT friends,
but your way of expressing yourself or being "out" with your sexual
orientation is different than theirs.
A big part of expressing yourself involves knowing what is important to you, or
what you value. Are there political issues that you feel really passionate about?
Would you drop everything to help out a friend? Do you spend hours looking at an
art exhibit or going to open mic night at your favorite coffee shop? What are your
career goals? Is dinner with your family the most important part of your day? The
things that are important to you are the things you make time for—the things that
you want to have front and center in your world. And they shape how you think about
who you are and who you want to be.
"Trying on" different identities is one way to figure out who you are
and what's important to you. Maybe smoking is an identity you're trying
out. Maybe it makes you feel independent or unique. Maybe you think smoking helps
you fit in or makes you look more sophisticated. The thing about smoking is that
it may seem like it makes you more independent at first, but before you know it,
you're hooked. And then cigarettes are making the decisions—not you.
"Think about who you are and who you want to be."
"You have a lot going on in your life."
Different things stress people out in different ways and in different amounts. Sometimes
a bunch of little stresses can really add up. Being LGBT means you have to deal
with some stresses that your non-LGBT friends might not be dealing with. Perhaps
you're struggling with being comfortable with your LGBT identity. Or maybe
the people around you haven't been very accepting or encouraging. It's
hard when you don't feel supported by the people who are most important to
you. And it's hard to feel like others aren't on the same page as you
are—like they don't really get who you are and where you're coming from.
You might feel betrayed and lonely. Sometimes the judgments of others sound a lot
like your own judgments—and it can be surprising how loud it sounds.
"When you're stressed, your emotions and reactions can feel out of control."
RAIN is a great tool that might help you to better understand and deal with stress
in a way that empowers you and is longer lasting that what you get from cigarettes.
Tip: Identify allies who can help you figure out how to lower your
stress. Channel stress into positive activities that help the LGBT Community. The
Gay-Straight Alliance Network
has local and national events you can get involved with. If you need a LGBT quit
smoking community, try the National
LBGT Tobacco Control Network
to get started.
Feeling awkward? Everyone feels awkward sometimes—even the people who seem completely
confident and popular. In addition to trying to figure out who you are, being a
teen also means figuring out where you fit in and where you want to fit in. This
can be extra challenging as an LGBT teen. You might be the only LGBT person you
know. You might be the only person in your group of LGBT friends who has come out—or
you might be the only one who hasn't come out. And although it's fun
to show off your unique qualities, sometimes it can feel like you're standing
out in all the wrong ways.
"For a lot of teens, smoking can be something you do to fit in."
"What does "fitting in" mean to you?"
If you're feeling lonely, sometimes it helps to think about the ways you already
fit in instead of focusing on how you stand out. Think about the people you enjoy
and what you enjoy about them. Build relationships with people who build you up,
and don't let smoking get in the way.
Tips: Trying to find ways to fit in or meet new people? Join a
group with people who share similar interests. Check out your school for new activities,
or volunteer with organizations like the Trevor Project
or check out the LGBT center in your community or the Gay-Straight Alliance at your
There are many reasons why LGBT teens are more likely to smoke (being LGBT can add
additional stress and challenges to fitting in and finding yourself as a teen),
but another reason is that tobacco companies specifically target you as part of
the LGBT community. Maybe you've noticed tobacco companies sponsor LGBT events
like Pride parades. They run ads in magazines that you are likely to read and at
clubs, theaters and other places you go. Some of the ads are direct, but sometimes
they're more subtle. Whether it's a billboard that promotes being who
you are (with the support of a tobacco product), showing images of LGBT couples
smoking, or altering brand logos to reflect the rainbow flag, it's not always
obvious that tobacco companies are trying to lure you in to become addicted to their
product and their brand.
"You have the power to take charge...."
Tip: Don't let the tobacco companies mislead you. Take action
and join a positive movement, not a negative one (like smoking). Check out the It Gets Better Project
and empower yourself and the LGBT community.
Is what you're feeling more than normal ups and downs? Take this quiz and find out.
Are you getting the support you need? See if you're asking for help the right way.

The internet which has revolutionized lives of people on the planet turned 30 years old on Tuesday. The computer network began transforming lives when it completely substituted all existing network systems on 1st of January, 1983. Today, the network allows people to reach anyone on the planet easily and cheaply.
On January 1st thirty years ago, the Arpanet network, that was commissioned by Department of Defence of US switched completely to using IPS (Internet Protocol suite) communications system which to this day is known as the 'flag day'. On making use of data 'packet-switching', the technology paved way for World Wide Web.
A look at the history behind the introduction of internet takes us to the beginning of Arpanet network. This was introduced as a military project in late 1960s and was based on designs developed by Donald Davies, a Welsh scientist.
The network was developed at various prestigious American research laboratories and universities. A few of them were Stanford Research Institute and UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles).
It was in 1973 that work on IPS and TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) got under way. These networks are powerful and flexible and resulted in changing the very face of mass communications.
The new systems were designed making sure that they were not vulnerable to any kind of failure and they replaced the old Network Control program which was known to be vulnerable. These systems were designed so that attacks on them could not crash them.
It was by January 1 of 1983, that the complete replacement of the old system with newer Internet protocol was done. This was how internet was born.
Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist then helped in forming the World Wide Web in 1989 by using Internet Protocol to host a system consisting of hypertext documents that are interlinked.

How to Feed a Teenage Boy by Georgia Orcutt
Quinoa is a seed that is very nutritious, providing 11 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber per half-cup. Its nutty flavor makes it a good substitute for pasta and potatoes, which add more carbohydrates to a meal. Here it is combined with cooked vegetables to reheat quickly in the oven. Add any other bits of leftover fresh or cooked vegetables to the filling, and season it as you wish with finely chopped fresh herbs; add about 1 tablespoon just before you put the vegetables in the bottom crust. Serve it with a big spoon.
Serves 4 to 6
• 2 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
• 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups (10 ounces) chopped fresh mushrooms
• 4 scallions, chopped
• 1 small red bell pepper, diced
• 2 cups chopped fresh spinach or 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juice
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Put 1 cup of quinoa and 1 tablespoon of cheese into a 9-inch pie pan and mix gently with a fork. Spread the mixture into an even layer. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, scallions, and bell pepper, and saute, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Stir in the spinach and cook for 3 minutes longer, until the spinach wilts. Stir in the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, until the mixture is heated through.
Spoon the vegetable mixture into the pie shell (it should be very juicy). Spoon the remaining 1½ cups of quinoa on top of the vegetables, forming an even top layer. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is browned. Serve hot.

Fire Alarm Ashtray
- Creative Fields Product
Hacking existing design is a recent phenomenon! and I am always looking for new ways to use things!
I've been looking for the right ashtray that represents my personality in someway.
However, the ashtray is a thorny theme for a great number of designers. While i was trying to figure out where i could get one, realized that it was already on the wall! In the process, paying more attention to a product's original function, Fire Alarm Button was a perfect match for me. I wanted something industrial and humorous. I removed the metal circuit inside the fire button and perfectly got what i need.
Question: Would you buy this ashtray concept ?
Answer: Yes! (*

Partnerships for ChangeThe Conservation Alliance
To protect and restore America's wild placesDogs and people, preferably together, live for those places where we can escape the daily grind and revel in an untrampled wilderness, free from cars, computers, and the confines of a fenced yard.The Conservation Alliance is a group of outdoor businesses that work together to protect wild places throughout North America where wildlife thrives and customers recreate. Each member company - including Ruffwear - pays annual dues into a central fund, and the Alliance donates 100% of those dues to organizations working to protect wild forests, rivers, deserts, mountains, and other fragile landscapes.Since launching in 1989, the Conservation Alliance has contributed more than $14 million to grassroots conservation projects. With Conservation Alliance grants, these groups have saved 44 million acres of land, 2,945 river miles, removed or halted 26 dams, purchased and preserved access to 10 climbing areas and designated 5 marine reserves. Ruffwear - in partnership with the Conservation Alliance - is proud to be part of the effort to save these wild areas for hiking boots and dog boots alike.The Backyard CollectiveBackyard Collectives bring together member company employees and local grantees for a day of environmental action.

Crusade in Jeans(1973)
A novel by Thea Beckman
Rudolf Hefting of Amsterdam thought he was engaged in an experiment that would take him back to the Middle Ages to a tournament of knights. But by a miscalculation of the computer, he arrives in the Rhineland at the exact time that the Children's Crusade is passing through. A stranded traveler in time, Rudolf joins the immense children's army -- almost 10,000 strong. With Rudolf, the reader struggles to understand how it was possible that children between the ages of 6 and 15 thought they could travel across Europe, then cross the sea to drive away the Saracens from the Holy Land. They had no weapons, transportation, or money; they experienced hunger, epidemics, and death. The dreadful conditions he encounters compel him to use his 20th-century knowledge to try to create order out of chaos. In spite of himself, he becomes a leader and organizer. And along the way he also experiences loyal friendships, courage, and devotion to God. This wonderfully rich story is a winner of the Golden Pen, the most prestigious Dutch national award for children's books.

[UPDATE: Dan Butterfield of iPhonAsia.com has slogged through the Mandarin in the press release and clarified some issues. See below.]
After a series of leaks last week to the Chinese business press -- including Xinhua, the Communist government's official news agency -- China Unicom (chu) on Monday finally released some hard news about when and for how much it plans to begin selling Apple's (aapl) iPhone in China
But not much news.
"When" is in October -- which could be as early as Thursday or as late as 33 days from now.
"How much" is something of a mystery. The official word is around 5,000 yuan ($732.20) -- considerably higher than the prices that were being tossed around last week (those ranged from 1,999 to 2,999 yuan).
But the carrier did not specify how much iPhone (8 GB? 16 GB? 32 GB?) 5,000 yuan might buy.
And it offered some details -- but not quite enough -- about the service plans that will accompany those iPhones and reduce their initial sticker price.
<!-- more -->
There will be eight plans in all, ranging in price from 126 yuan ($18.50) to 886 ($130) yuan per month. They will include 450MB to 4GB of mobile data access, 120 to 880 SMS messages, 15 to 95 MMS messages, and between 320 to 3,000 minutes of talk time. A rate card would have been helpful.
It's not clear what China Unicom hopes to gain by this mix of vagueness and specificity. Perhaps it's to keep its competitors -- China Mobile (CHL) and China Telecom (cha) -- off balance. Perhaps it's to encourage customers to choose longer-term service plans when the final -- and presumably heavily subsidized -- iPhone prices are revealed.
Or perhaps they've learned a trick or two from Steve Jobs, a master of the art of managing the flow of information in order to keep his company in the headlines.
UPDATE: According to iPhonAsia.com's Dan Butterfield, who has been following the story closely and can read Mandarin:
- The 5,000 yuan ($732) price is for a "no contract" iPhone (unclear whether that's for 16 GB or 32 GB)
- Subsidies for customers who go "on contract" range from 893 yuan to 4,253 ($130.56 to $621.83).
- There is even a "free" 8GB iPhone 3G plan for customers who sign up for a two-year contract with the maximum messages, minutes and data plan.
- He describes 10 different service plans, ranging from the 66 yuan ($9.67) ultra-cheap student package to a high-end package that costs 886 yuan ($129.54) per month.
See here for Butterfield's complete report.

Automobile safety involves implementation of design, equipment, construction and regulation to minimize the occurrence and effects of traffic accidents. Early studies about automobile safety were carried out at the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory that is based in New York. His studies explained the essence of padded dashboards and seat belts. However, the primary cause of traffic related deaths was due to excess mass or speeding and not the pedestrian's fault. In fact, statistics from the United States showed that a pedestrian is injured every eight minutes, this being almost double the chance of an occupant of a vehicle being injured. Again, work related roadway crushes are the leading cause of injuries in the U.S., truck drivers making the majority of these.
Automotive safety can be of two types: active and passive. Active safety is the technology assisting in the prevention of a crash. They include vehicles headlamps, reflectors, mirrors, brakes, steering and suspension systems. Passive safety, on the other hand, refers to components of the vehicle. Such components include airbags, seatbelts and the physical structure of the body.
There are subsets of crash avoidance systems, which help the driver to detect obstacles and control the vehicle. Driver Alertness Detection system, otherwise known as DADS, is installed to ensure that crashes resulting from fatigue are eliminated. Automatic braking is a crucial component to reduce the severity of collision, while infrared night vision systems were used to see objects beyond the headlamp range. Adaptive headlamps are designed to control the direction and range of the headlight beams, thus enhances the diver's vision without blinding other motorists. Other devices used include the reverse backup detectors to alert drivers to be aware of objects in their way when reversing, traction control systems that restore grip if driven wheels begin to spin, adaptive cruise control to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead and the electronic stability control, which helps to deter an impending loss of control. Some vehicles may have a backup camera, tire pressure monitoring system, anti-lock braking system, pre-crash system and an automated parking system.

Date of release and price
We'll go right in the head. Samsung broke the tradition of presenting its flagship at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. So the new S8 will not come at the end of February, as usually was speculated. Samsung itself has announced it won't happen in "the appointed time", and the most common dates mentioned are March 29 and April 21. The last Wednesday of March should be marked with Samsung's introduction of this model, but the April 21 is the date of releasing on the market.
Update Feb 14: In the meantime, these two terms has become the only options discussed, so we can say that these are almost certain news.
Update Mar 8: Samsung has confirmed at MWC that will present the new Galaxy S8 and S8+ on March 29 in New York . April 10 is mentioned as the first day of pre-sale, and the devices should arrive in stores on April 21, or, according to the latest rumors, on April 28. In any case, we will meet May with a new flagships in stores.
These devices should come in large numbers. There are speculations in Korea that Samsung is going to produce and send to market as many as 12 million units by the end of April. However, it is not known to what proportion the S8 and S8+ will be represented, but at least we know why Samsung has reserved all stocks of Snapdragon 835 chipset.
There is speculation with some dates in the above mentioned period, but in any case, that's the time when we will see a new Samsung smartphone at work. The reason for this delay is, most likely, an accident with Note 7, which the South Korean manufacturer can afford anymore, especially with the most popular model. An additional month should be enough to solve any possible problems.
The price will be high. Higher than on the S7. To purchase Galaxy S8 should have already start saving your money, because it should cost about $850. It is speculated that there will be a larger version, and how much will it cost, only people from Samsung know.
Update Feb 14: There will be a larger version, which will be called S8+. Samsung has decided to dispense with the term Edge, because of too small differences in design.
Update Mar 23: Alleged price ofboth devices have appeared. So, the Galaxy S8 will cost $859, and the S8+ will cost $966.
The S8 continues where the S6 and S7 have stopped. That means curved screen and edges, the housing of metal and glass, with a few small but significant changes. First of all, it is rumored it'll dismiss the physical Home button, which may put the fingerprint sensor to the rear side of the device. However, it should be located next to the camera, which is unusual, but the logical move in any case.
Specifically, it is expected that diagonal of the S8's screen should amount to 5.8 and 6.2 inches, which would be awkward to handle, especially for catching fingerprint sensor located in the middle of the rear cover, as usual. Well, this could be resolved with somewhat stronger curving the edges. In addition, the flagship should be resistant to dust and water, according to IP 68 standard, which is great.
Update Mar 8: Galaxy S8 will have an USB-C port on the bottom, and on above the screen the front camera sensor that will serve as a iris scanner, which is a new form of "unlocking" of mobile phones. There is also a video with the factory model, which clearly shows what are we talking about.
Update Mar 23: The Galaxy S8 should come in three colors: black sky, orchid gray, and arctic silver.
Chipset and system
We already know that Samsung picked up all the latest Snapdragon 835 chipset, in order to launch the S8. This chipset should be fairly fast, with 3.2 GHz of clock speed. But, not everyone will not be that lucky, because in some markets (supposedly, at all except US) S8 come with Exynos 8895 processor and "only" 3 GHz. The good news is that both processors will be optimized to work with low power consumption, and image processing could be up to 70 percent faster.
Speaking of graphics, some interesting names are mentioned as producers of GPU. It is speculated that nVidia and AMD could deliver graphical components, which certainly sounds incredible. But, in any case, it should be ready for VR options.
The RAM memory is highly questionable. At first, 6 GB are mentioned, then 4 GB, and finally, Samsung has introduced memory chip with 8 GB in the autumn, and it's really hard to expect anything concrete on this issue. Also, we do not know which OS will be in charge for all features of the S8. Android Nougat would be logical choice, but previously the combined OS was mentioned.
Update Mar 14: An information appeared that the Snapdragon 835 will be used for devices intended for the markets in the United States, Japan and China, while others will use the Exynos 8895. The devices for shipping in Korea and China will have 6 GB of RAM, and all the others will have only 4 GB. Batteries should have a capacity of 3000 mAh (on the S8) and 3500 mAh (on the S8+).
Screen and camera
We have mentioned the screen size should be 5.8 or 6.2 inches, which S8 slowly turns into a mini-tablet. However, the device itself should not be more massive, because it almost will not have bezels around the screen. Even a Samsung logo should disappear from the front and cede its place to the screen. In addition, higher aspect ratio (18.5:9), and the possibility of displaying 4K, or, at least, a Quad HD resolution (2560x1440p) are expected. Of course, there were all kinds of stories here, like the speculation about the new materials that would allow setting fingerprint sensor inside the screen. Well, let's stick to the probable; there will be no version with flat screen.
Update Mar 8: Both models will have a curved screen (as it previously had the Edge version), which Samsung branded as Infinity Display. The screen should have the Always On technology, which means it's activated with the slightest movement of device, without the need to unlock it.
Update Mar 14: The screens on both variants might have OLED technology, and WQHD+ resolution (2960x2400p).
Speaking about the camera, the rear one will have only 12 MP, but it is not the most important thing in photography, so do not let that deter you. Specifically, it will have f/1.7 aperture and software for post-processing. There were some speculation about double rear camera, but it appears not to be an option, although Samsung is developing the technology of double camera. There will be the Smart Glow feature, or ring of LEDs, which lights up in different colors when getting notification or shooting selfies.
The front camera will have 8 MP, autofocus, and image will be more quality. This means that there will be no more those distortions, which appeared on the wide-angle front camera of previous models.Update Mar 23: The Galaxy S8 should have the ability to capture video at 1000 fps, or 33x super slow-motion, which is similar to Sony. Alongside the front camera an additional photosensor, that would serve for iris scanning, should be installed. Dual camera definitely will not appear on this device.
Other features
We really have everything in here. The S8 will be the first Samsung device that will have a virtual assistant named Bixby or Kestra. The productivity will be also increased, thanks to the possibility of merging with the desktop monitor. The S8 would, like the iPhone, should lose a headphone jack (not certain), but it could get the iris scanner.
On the device, also might appear dual stereo speaker, manufactured by Harman, and stylus pen as an extra option. Memory should jump to 256 GB, although the most likely options are 64 and 128 GB. In any case, it will be interesting to follow further information about Galaxy S8, on which we will continue to report.
Update Mar 23: The virtual assistant named Bixby has already been presented. At the first moment, it will serve on the Galaxy S8, and then on the future Samsung devices. In addition, there was a series of photos of other products accompanied to the smartphone, so we know that a 5100 mAh power bank without fast charging option will arrive in shops, alongside with DeX Station which has 2xUSB 2.0 and HDMI connectors, cooling system for smartphone, and a Galaxy Desktop function. Reportedly, it will sell for around $200.

This morning I realized, that walking through the fog, we are ghosts. Wispy, faceless, apparitions, drifting through the streets. The boy, scampering behind me, his mother following him, the cyclists, peddling up mahogany street, and the early morning dog walkers. All ghosts. I wondered briefly if I was a ghost to them, a ghost with a blue dress, clutching a lunchbox. We all continue through the haunting fog, pursuing our morning ends. I like to think that fog is magic, that when the pea soup splashes our city it freezes time. Reminding us that we pursue tomorrow, run from yesterday, but are stuck, in the everlasting limbo, of today. And that is okay.

I don't post a lot. Sorry
What's new with lil' old me? not that much. Except, schoolwork, a lot of it. Hence the lack of posts. Yea. There aren't that many coming of late, so here is a poem, to…you know, catch up with the blogging.
This is a free verse poem about me, because I honestly know a bit about that subject, and at the moment, I am feeling rhymeless, (not a word)
I am here.
Hovering somewhere between musty subway stations, and abandoned sandwiches,
Somewhere between Goldie-locks and her bear problems,
And Anne Of Green…whatever.
But really,
I can be like that gum you smear from your shoe.
Or I can be a bowling alley shake,
Who am I?
Who do you think I am?
They see me,
They might take notes.
But that's not me
It's a shell,
A mask, if you will,
I can be found reading.
Writing? nothing less than my oxygen!
Kicking back, googling, getting utterly captivated by the silliest things sometimes.
Gotta brush 'em.
Drawing, my breathing out.
Music seems a distant thing,
A faraway clank I can't wrap icy hands around,
Lest I slip and fall.
Friends, a few, all good.
I'll never refuse a chance to get dressed up,
Or to play in the snow, mud, or rain,
I love campfires,
I love cinnamon rolls,
I am me,
Brooklin, Stormie,
All Ghosts.
Train tracks
I don't know if they are train tacks. But I like to believe they once were.

For some reason only 6 of my virual machines are showing in the default VM group. I have more then 20 or so and can see them under servers but only 6 are in the VM group. Anyway to fix this?
This topic was created during version 5.0.

What VM system are you using... VMWare... Microsoft... Also... are your VM's in a specific OU. If you put them in a specific OU in AD.. say create one called VM... run an inventory scan... it will put them in a group called VM. That might be easier.
It sounds like it isn't recognizing them as VM's for some reason. I know that it works with VMWare as that is what I use... not sure about other vendors though.
Apr 8, 2011 at 9:43 UTC
Well they show up as VMware VM's in the server area, also are listed under vms in the hosts. But only some show up in the default VM category.

St. Petersburg, FL (PressExposure) September 26, 2011 -- Dr. Tiffany Jessee, a bariatric surgeon in Florida, was the first bariatric surgeon in the world to perform a gastric band procedure using the SPIDER Surgical Platform, and recently demonstrated the technique on Tampa Bay's FOX-13 TV. Dr. Jessee is a member of the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons and a Fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons. A graduate of the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Jessee completed her general surgery residency training in Largo, Florida, as well as a fellowship in advanced laparoscopy and bariatric surgery.
Dr. Jessee has been performing bariatric surgery in Florida for nearly a decade. She founded Sun Coast Bariatrics in 2003 and currently devotes her practice exclusively to adjustable gastric band (Lap Band and Realize Band) surgery. Ever since Dr. Jessee performed the world's first gastric band procedure with the SPIDER surgical platform, she has continued to perform more of these weight loss surgery procedures using the single-incision instrument than any other surgeon in the United States.
Her experience also gave her an appreciation for the advantages the SPIDER platform, with its flexible laparoscopic technology, offers over traditional rigid laparoscopic surgery, which typically requires a surgeon to make five incisions. The SPIDER system enables the surgeon to perform the procedure with just one incision, often through the belly button. Beyond the improved aesthetic results, fewer incisions also means reduced post-operative pain and faster recovery for patients. For bariatric surgeons, the SPIDER system enables them to operate without having to cross their hands. Bariatric surgeons can use the operating angles of their choice and benefit from an unobstructed view of the patient's abdomen, a view aided by the cameras mounted on the SPIDER platform.
Single-incision (also known as catheter-based) technologies have been successfully developed for use in brain and heart surgery. Dr. Jessee, the only female bariatric surgeon in Florida, is helping pioneer the use of these technologies in bariatric surgery.
Sun Coast Bariatrics performs weight loss surgery in Florida and is proud to be affiliated with Palms of Pasadena Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Bariatrics team at Palms of Pasadena performs more than 350 surgeries every year. In addition to the adjustable gastric band surgeries that Dr. Jessee focuses on exclusively, the program offers the more traditional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and gastric sleeve procedures.

Sharing our story of faith across the ages
Prison as a parish
American History
Product sorting:
During his long and distinguished ministry, Billy Graham has preached the gospel to well over 200 million people worldwide. The massive evangelistic gatherings that took place in sports arenas, concert halls, and outdoor venues became known as the Billy Graham Crusades. The outworking of a sophisticated organizational structure, each crusade represented years of planning and months of follow up. The crusades shaped the face of Evangelical Christianity in the 20th century, served as a catalyst for dozens of para-church organizations, united a splintering Evangelical community, and altered the course of countless individual lives.
Immerse yourself in the life of Alexander Campbell with Christian History Magazine Issue #106 and Wrestling With God DVD.
One hundred years ago a movement like none other since shook the very foundations of the American church. People reported speaking in tongues, new denominations were formed, and the Charismatic Movement was born. This documentary looks, in depth, at the inception of this movement and the mystery and controversy surrounding some of its beliefs.
Briars in the Cotton Patch tells the nearly forgotten story of Koinonia Farm, a small Christian community in Southwest Georgia where whites and blacks chose to live and work together as equals despite the brutal and frightening consequences in the years leading up to the tumultuous Civil Rights era.
People of Faith: How America's Many Churches Shaped "One Nation Under God"
Christians in the New Industrial Economy. How did the church respond to widespread changes brought on by the Industrial Revolution?
Known as "Restorationism" or "The Stone-Campbell Movement," this upstart Christian phenomenon swept into its fold thousands upon thousands of Americans in the early nineteenth century. It rejected all traditional churches, Protestant and Catholic alike, and aspired to become the universal church that would inaugurate the millennial dawn. In this issue of Christian History, see what happened when Alexander Campbell and Barton Stone decided to speak where the Bible spoke and be silent where the Bible was silent.
Take a look behind the scenes at the life and legacy of Billy Graham.
Dynamic worship, energetic circuit-riding preachers, and a close-up, personal style of leadership made Methodism a movement perfectly suited to bring the word of God to the new nation of America. And Francis Asbury led the way, rising from unremarkable working-class metalworker to bishop of a denomination stretching over a continent.

- Abstract:
- Several traditional handbooks and web-based databases exist with descriptions of animal anatomy, providing dissection photographies or hand drawn images in explanatory figures. In recent years sophisticated databases have been developed providing unique 2D and 3D visualisations of the internal and external structure of living and extinct vertebrates. Biological visualisation libraries such as www.digimorph.org hold terabytes of images of various species, with its core focus on high-resolution computed tomographic (CT) cranial imaging. Although impressive, CT imaging is mostly suited to visualise bone anatomy, and there is a considerable lack of non-interpreted soft-tissue visualisation in figures of anatomical literature and databases. This study aims to present the endless possibilities of high resolution visualisation of both soft and hard structures in animals using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT. Various species (tarantula, horseshoe crab, carp, haddock, lungfish, axolotl) were subjected to multi-slice MRI and CT protocols to produce 2D images of body slices, followed by volume rendering producing 3D digital models of animal anatomy with applications for visualising specific organs of interest. A number of animals (american alligator, ball python, swamp eel, red eared slider, monitor lizard, bearded dragon) were additionally perfused with MRI and CT contrast agents enabling a 3D visualisation of vascular arrangements. We were in hours able to produce high resolution 3D digital models of animal soft and hard tissue anatomy in quality similar or superior to time consuming dissection, and we propose MRI and CT as valuable tools in future studies of animal anatomy in research and education.

The Longest Week Feels Too Familiar Without Being Relatable At All
Get ready for one long week of cliches and borrowed motifs.
Eammon Films
There's nothing wrong with going to the movies just to be swept up in a story, even when the story is fairly unrealistic. If that's your aim, The Longest Week might be a good way for you to spend about an hour and a half this weekend. The film, starring Jason Bateman, Olivia Wilde, and Billy Crudup, is an easy watch -- beautiful aesthetically and with enough borrowed themes and motifs to feel familiar. However, that familiarity also makes this movie, which is focused on romanticism but not romantic in the way you might expect, one of the least challenging movies to watch ever.
You hear that, 27 Dresses? Your spot's being blown up.

The Longest Week tells the story of rich playboy Conrad Valmont (Bateman), an heir to a hotel fortune. His neglecting parents decide to yank the cash umbilical and he's forced to move in with his only friend, Dylan (Crudup). Dylan's also rich, but the movie insists that he's rich because he earned it as an artist and he's a better man for it. Whether that's true, they both fall for the same girl, Beatrice (Wilde), an editorial model who is an accomplished pianist on the side and obsessed with Victorian literature. Not surprisingly, things get a little messy between the two friends and the girl.
The narrator, reminiscent of a Wes Anderson-style narrator, is incessantly popping in to explain the movie and why you shouldn't resent it or dismiss it. In one moment he explains that Beatrice is hopelessly romantic, while Conrad is romantically hopeless. At another time the narrator explains that love is like communism -- good in theory, but never quite works out. Did you just roll your eyes? Don't worry, you aren't alone there.
As the film self-analyzes via the narrator, it explains the overall message near to death and beating out any sense of nuance or subtly left. Worst of all, the introduction of Jenny Slate's character about mid-way through the film shows that it is a satire that takes itself entirely too seriously.
Slate's character is literally a post-modern critic in the film. As she analyzes the play that the group just saw, they all dismiss her critiques. She doesn't understand satire and neither do you if you don't like this movie or at least respect what it's doing. This is far from the only time the movie pretty much begs you not to criticize it by insisting critics are out of touch. In a time where satire is the new black online and on TV, seeing it in film isn't revolutionary so it better damned well be effective.
In moments, this movie is a lot of things: It's Wes Anderson's aesthetic without the charm, it strives to be Woody Allen's New York but without any realism, and it insists it is Oscar Wilde's satire but doesn't achieve the dialogue, message, or cleverness of the playwright. It claims to hate clichés while spouting them out. It's hopeless. It's romantic. But not in any way that makes the film or any of its characters likable.
And for a film that's so clearly packaged, you don't really have to wonder how it will end. Regardless of whether Conrad gets the girl, he's changed and richer for the experience--which is good news because he was already monetarily wealthy. See? Easy.
If you're up for The Longest Week, it will be showing at Harkins Valley Art beginning at 7 p.m. Friday, September 5.

The Christmas holiday brought plenty of cheers to the makers of PK with record-breaking first week collections. The movie earned around 27 crores at the domestic box office on Thursday, which was more than the first day collection!
Strong weekday collections along with that for the holidays have propelled the first week collections to a stupendous figure of around 180 crores. It has beaten the likes of Dhoom 3, which held the previous record of 172 crores. The Wednesday collections were around 19 crores, buoyed by the Christmas holiday. PK crossed the 150 crore-mark in just six days of its release.
The film has seen excellent overseas collections too, having now crossed the 250 crore mark worldwide. With domestic collections of around 180 crore and that ofoverseas reportedly around the 270 crore mark in its first week, it can be safely said that Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani have worked their magic again!

Beware: I am looking for you
One great thing about working with your friends?
When you're in the midst of a panic attack over the cobras slithering around your workplace, you'll find something like this on your desk.
And suddenly, the situation doesn't look so grim.

A shark, a tiger, and a cobra
Let's play a game.
I'll give you a scenario and then you tell me if you think my solution is logical.
There is a shark in the water where a lot of people are swimming. So, logically, you close the beach and get everyone out of the water.
That was easy, right?
Okay, round two:
A tiger escapes from the zoo, where many people are enjoying an afternoon. Naturally, you close the zoo and don't open it again until the rogue beast is caught.
Makes sense, right?
Alright, here's a tough one.
Two Chinese Cobras are on the loose in an urban school campus that's quite small. Some 1000+ students go there everyday. Chinese Cobras can grow to be 6' long and are poisonous and sometimes deadly. Obviously, you wait until the day is half over before you decide to make a vague announcement about some snake, without giving it a name, and then later leave a piece of paper on each teacher's desk urging them to tell the 1st-12th grade students to avoid the grassy areas, which many have to walk through to get from class to class.
Wait a minute...
Wait a minute...
That doesn't sound right.
In fact, that sounds insane.
What would make sense? Hmmm...close the freakin' campus until you find, catch, and relocate the two huge, poisonous, deadly snakes roaming around a small urban school campus.
To me, that makes a lot more sense than the advice to "walk carefully."
To me, that makes a lot more sense than the advice to "walk carefully."
So there.

Happily ever after
More so than anything else, leaving behind my two precious kittens was what killed me the most as we were leaving the US for Taiwan.
We got Roma and Buggy the week after we got back from our backpacking trip through SE Asia in 2011.
The girls spent 1.5 years with us and we loved them dearly.
The first thing we asked when the school representatives from IBSH took us out to dinner in Boston was: can we bring our cats.
They said yes.
Which, technically, was true.
It wasn't until we landed back in Seattle and started sifting through the process that we realized: no, no we could not.
In order to move any animal to Taiwan, a rabies free country, one has to undergo a strictly laid out process. We would have needed six months and $8,000 USD, $4000 per cat, to do so.
We only had four months and were living paycheck to paycheck.
We were simply devastated.
Our cats were our family.
We tried to find them a home with friends and family but could not. In the end, we had to take them back to the same no-kill animal shelter we picked them up from in the first place.
It was easily one of the hardest things I've had to do.
However, this story improved dramatically one day when I was emailed by the animal shelter and told that a lovely couple adopted our girls. I was even happier when that couple contacted me and sent pictures of Roma and Buggy lounging in the sun at their beautiful home.
And over the past 10 months in Taiwan, we've tried to pay it forward too by co-fostering two dogs: Dr. Gus Bojangles and Lady (can you tell which one Sean and I named and which one Luke and Jamie named?)
Bojangles was with us for about three weeks before tragedy struck back home and we had to leave. We got to spend another week with him when we got back. We were worried about him because we had no way of contacting the people who adopted him. They only spoke Mandarin. However, it made our day when we received an email with pictures of Bojangles and his new family up in the hillside playing around.
Then, it was Lady whose story is still unfolding. She's this spitfire puppy who is currently being fostered by a family up in Taipei until she finds a permanent home. She was too green for us to handle; in the one month we co-fostered her, Jamie and Sean were stuck at home most of the time because Lady could not be left alone. If she was, our whole building complex would hear about it.
I think for the time being we're done fostering animals. We travel too much. We're heading to Japan next Wednesday and then over the summer we'll be traveling a lot too: Vietnam, South Korea, and the Philippines.
But for the time being, it makes me happy to know that our girls are happy in the states with their new people and these two dogs are safe and well loved and off the streets.
Now that's making lemonade from lemons.

Wrong turn at Sun Moon Lake
My big brother Joel flew in for a one-week visit.
We did all of the traditional things:
Din Tai Fung dinner with dumpling galore.
Scooter, scooter, scooter.
Taipei and culture.
But we also wanted to take advantage of his visit and go somewhere new: Sun Moon Lake.
From all of the reading I had done, it seemed like a great destination for a Sunday day trip.
Not that the trip wasn't great, but certainly not day trip great.
We got a late start (typical) and didn't hop on the HSR until 10:30. That wasn't too bad.
We arrived in Taichung at 11 and found a bus to Sun Moon Lake. I guess it was our fault for not clarifying. I anticipated a 30-minute ride. Two hours and many small towns and stops later, the bus ambled beside the lake.
We walked around the lake and were very grateful for the cooler weather and fresher air.
After a few hours, we realized, hey this will take a long time we should probably head back and thus began the four hour trip home.
Inclusive of getting on the wrong HSR train and everything.
I wonder if Joel will ever visit again?
