I'm 14 years old and of course I fallinto the pressure of looking skinny like all of the famous people. A few years ago I started changing my eating habits and sometimes I didn't eat at all. I never made myself throw up or anything like that though. But ever since then I have been having stomach problems. The symptoms include: sharp pain below the belly-button that can last for a few hours, gas, bloating, pain after eating, and loss of appetite. Is this caused by my change in diet?

Depends on what you are eating. Are you eating a lot of veggies? These cause gas and bloating and can cause pain. Are you eating more wheat products? This causes allergic reaction and inflammation in the gut and can cause gas and bloating too. What about fruit? These can be acidic and upset the balance of flora in the gut leading to die off, gas and bloating too. A healthy balance of food is 60% fat, 30% protein and 10% carbs. This ensures that the acid/base balance is correct, you are getting all the essential amino acids and fatty acids that you need along with your vitamins and minerals and also the fats keep up your energy. The low amount of carbs should be in green dense veggies or red ones for their antioxidant properties and fibre. Stay away from flour, sugar, rice, pasta, potatoes, starchy veg, fruit (except blueberries and raspberries), cakes, crisps, sweets, trans fats, margarine and jams and honey. Add coconut oil to your diet daily to calm your digestive system and make sure your protein is from good quality meat and chicken (don't cut off the fat or skin). This should calm your system, level out your energy levels and blood sugars and you will feel better in no time.

Currently I have Aux1 and Aux2 open as I am only using TV on rudder...So I can switch my right aileron to Aux1 and keep my left aileron on AIL channel...(Or is it the other way around?)...
I wish I was smart enough to think how to create the scale airbrake mod. Now that would be eye-catching!
LOL, I knew something was up when I saw doors for the main gear along with the gear being white. As soon as I downloaded the full size photo & figured it out.
First Flight
I took mine out for the maiden voyage today - Very impressive jet! I was floored by how well it performed and was not expecting this smooth of an experience right out of the box.
I modified the battery compartment for my 4000mah pack as was suggested to me for CG reasons earlier in the thread (Thanks!) and gave it the polycrylic treatment along with some deep etched/weathered panel lines (I love the dark contrast in flight; admittedly it looks a little comical and over-the-top on the ground though!) and painted the cockpit and exhaust nozzles to a more scale dark hue. Other than that, this was a stock jet!
Rollout was nearly the same as the larger Su-35, perhaps a little shorter. I fly with TV on a switch, and performed my first takeoff with TV engaged. It did shoot up on me initially, but after I determined the "break point" on the sticks, scale takeoffs became much easier to perform.
One thing that impressed me tremendously about this plane is how true it tracks, both on the ground and in the air - Straight as an arrow! Roll rate was great and TV-off controls were solid.
I had to land a little hot, but without flaps in play, I was expecting it- Nothing overly demanding though. During the first landing I had TV switched off. For the second attempt, I left it on and had to perform a go-around. I wasn't quite ready for the ever-so-slight difference between the nozzle angle and the stab angle. With throttle, it wanted to nose-up on me by a very small amount, so when I let off the power it dropped the nose just enough to scare me off. I decided that landings would be better TV-off for the first few flights before I re-address things and try it again. 3 more landings without TV engaged, uneventful - Airspeed is your friend though!
This V2 F/A-18 just looks incredible in flight, and the control is amazing. I like how the single, well-balanced 90mm fan doesn't drink the battery as rapidly as the large EDF twins do (I miss the twin sound a little though) I got a good 4 minutes tonight and had power to spare on the 4000mah pack.
I'd have to say that this is in my top-3 EDF's overall. It's a powerful package with plenty of speed and handling, while managing a respectable glide profile and fine detail. I wanted to be sure it would fly well before I continue customizing it, but since it has proven its place in the fleet I'm going to do some scale details in the next few days - I think it needs some antennas and sensors soon!
I am getting ready to pull the trigger on this model. Has anyone compared the GensAce 4000/6S/25C with the Nanotechs 4000/6S/45C? My experience with GensAce is that they are normally underrated a bit. I am planning to use the Changesun 12 bladed fan with a 1600KV motor.
Congrats on the maiden Roswalt! Isn't she a beauty?
You are right about it's tracking both on the ground and in the air. I am so used to my planes (EDF and Warbirds alike) tracking like a drunk's behind the controls before rotation...If this plane tracked as poorly as many of the planes I've had, there's no way I would be able to get her off the ground at my school as there's curbs everywhere.
You are braver than me having TV activated for your maiden. I will turn it on here in the next few flights or so. I just want to know this plane inside and out before I do that. I still plan on the flaperon mix and I'm reaaaaaally jonesing to do that scale air brake mod if I can manage it.
I would have to put this at my #1 slot for best EDF I've flown overall. QC and flight dynamics puts it at the top for me. What are your other top 2?
My other top two would be the LX single 70mm F-22 and the new Freewing Su-35. The Su-35 is probably #1 in many ways including TWR and modular design, but this F-18 is better for me personally. I like that it is an American jet, it is far easier to fit in the cars (Corvette or Outlander) without having to be extra creative, and for being much kinder to my batteries. The Su-35 spanks the pants off of it in terms of sheer power and size, but that comes at a cost. I haven't owned this F-18 long enough to rank it ahead of my all-time favorite, the single LX 70mm F-22 (form factor, agility, glide, convenience, looks, my love of 5th gen US fighters, etc.) but that's a far simpler EDF and admittedly not in the same class as this FW F/A-18E. All 3 are top notch planes.
V8 - The Su-35 has been done for a while now, and I've already got it on the "For Sale" circuit here in town as well as RCG. Although it is tops in class, at the end of the day I found it too cumbersome for my everyday brand of lazy-man's transportation to the flight line, and my 4000mah battery barely got me to 3 minutes without risk of smoking the pack. In those 3 minutes however, I've done things I never dared attempt with any other model. The hover was incredible and snap loops had me wondering if the jet might break in two! At the end of the day, with my change of permanent duty station looming near I'm only going to take 3 (maybe 4) planes with me, and that one is just too big to make the trip safely (Although it does disassemble nicely!) - And no, micros don't count! Those have convenient little boxes, you see!
Is the LX 70mm F-22 that super scale version BH sells?

Covered Deck Plans
These decks are very beautiful and can be made from almost any type of wood that the individual desires. There are plans that are great for a pool or hot tub that will be integrated into the deck. There are plans that are for a low, patio style of a deck which is more decorative, and there are plans for a covered deck, which allows individuals to enjoy it even when there is adverse weather outside.

Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
I have a minor son who's dad has passed away. I have remarried and my son wants to be adopted by his stepfather. My husband is paying on back child support. Will this prevent the adoption from going through? We are in the state of Illinois.
Asked on 7/27/13, 4:21 pm
1 Answer from Attorneys
Sue Roberts-Kurpis, Esq. Law Office of Sue Roberts-Kurpis
No reason why it should. This is a related adoption and they are much easier to do that a regular adoption. Its mostly a matter of filling out the paperwork.
Good Luck.

CBS Baltimore
Sept. 24, 2013
Prosecutors have decided to drop all charges against a Baltimore County father arrested after repeatedly questioning school administrators at a town hall meeting. The confrontation was all caught on camera.
The blow-up was over a new standardized curriculum. It has some parents pretty concerned and others downright frustrated.
Parent Adam Small decided to speak up rather than write down his questions at a town hall-style meeting with Baltimore County school officials. That's when a security officer stepped in, flashing his police badge.

It's amazing to look back almost 11 years now and realize the PlayStation 2 was just being released. I mean, we're already 6 years into the life cycle of the PlayStation 3 and still, consumers are going out and buying its predecessor in droves. It's quite the miracle, to be honest.
According to Sony, the PlayStation 2 has officially sold over 150 million units world wide. That's an astronomical number for a console and something that has yet to have been achieved previously in the industry. Surprisingly enough, those 150 million consoles have also contributed over 1.50+ billion game sales for the console as well.
Let that set in a bit — that's 1,500,000,000 worth of games. Would you even have enough shelf space in your house for that amount of software? That's a ridiculous sum considering that only roughly 10,000 games have been developed for the console.
Oddly, Sony expected demand for the PlayStation 2 to continue throughout Eastern Europe, the Middle East, South East Asia, and South America. It's probably only a matter of time before it's reaching the 160m plateau.

I love reading books that talk about the psychology of buying. There is nothing more fascinating to me than the human mind. Recently I was reading and came across the concept of anchoring. I remembered the term from my marketing classes, but my experience in the internet space gave me a whole new perspective on the topic.
What Is Price Anchoring?
From Wikipedia: "Anchoring and adjustment is a psychological heuristic that influences the way people intuitively assess probabilities. According to this heuristic, people start with an implicitly suggested reference point (the "anchor") and make adjustments to it to reach their estimate. A person begins with a first approximation (anchor) and then makes adjustments to that number based on additional information."
In more lay terms, anchoring is comparing one price to another "anchor" price to determine how good of a deal the item is. You go to the store and see tomatoes on sale for $1.49/lb. You know that the farmer down the street sells tomatoes at his stand for $1.00/lb and therefore the store tomatoes don't seem very cheap to you. However, another shopper sees the $1.49/lb tomatoes in the store and thinks it's a great deal because the last time they bought tomatoes in the store they were $1.99/lb (and they don't know about the farmer.) These two customers perceive the price differently because they have different anchors. Anchoring has a large effect on how we perceive value.
What If My Product Is Unique?
For those companies with unique products & services, your customers may have no anchor to help them see the value of your offering. Consider yourself lucky because you have the opportunity to set an anchor for them. Here are two examples:
Just below the video and quotes you'll see the three purchase options: Pro, Pro Plus and Pro Elite. If you want to join SEOmoz and are a cheapskate, you'll pick Pro. However, for just a little more you could get Pro Plus and it's nowhere near as expensive as Pro Elite. SEOmoz uses Pro Elite to set the anchor and that makes Pro Plus and Pro look more reasonably priced. I don't have user data (but I'd love to hear from a Mozzer in the comments) but I would guess that Pro Elite is their smallest customer base. Sure they make more per customer, but even more than that, it improves the value perception for Pro and Pro Plus.
BaseCamp has some interesting variations. First, they actually make the Plus plan larger so it jumps out and call it their "Most Popular Plan." Second, they have ordered the options with the highest priced on the left and the lowest priced on the right. Despite these differences we see the same idea of using the Max plan as the anchor. They're actually making it more explicit since left-to-right reading will have us see the Max plan first.
How To Fix It?
Some of you may only have two offerings and you're wondering how you can use anchoring? Say your pricing looks like this:
LotusJump Pro may be the best value, but it looks expensive compared to Basic. What if you were to add a third plan that had increased functionality and a higher price point? This would serve as the anchor and make the Pro plan look that much more appealing.
What do you think?

Rep. Steve Nass, a Whitewater Republican, is seriously considering a run and will announce his decision as soon as Wednesday, his spokesman Mike Mikalsen said.
Nass has spoken with the other two Republican representatives in the Senate district and they've agreed to support him should he run, Mikalsen said. Nass was first elected to the Assembly in 1990.
Neither of those other two representatives - Tyler August, of Lake Geneva, and Amy Loudenbeck, of Clinton - returned messages seeking comment. The Senate district is solidly Republican.
Kedzie, 58, of Elkhorn, issued a statement announcing his retirement and did not immediately return a message left at his Capitol office seeking more comment. Kedzie said he was retiring to spend more time with his family and pursue opportunities outside of state government.
The announcement came three weeks after Kedzie filed paperwork for re-election and said he was running again. The deadline for candidates to announce they are running for Kedzie's seat is June 2.
Kedzie is the seventh senator, and the fourth Republican, to announce he will not seek re-election. Republicans currently hold an 18-15 majority in the Senate.
Kedzie was first elected to the Senate in 2002 after serving four years in the Assembly. He currently serves as chairman of the Senate Natural Resources Committee and has taken lead on numerous environmental and sportsmen issues over the years.
Kedzie's 11th Senate District includes portions of Jefferson, Waukesha, Rock, Walworth and Kenosha counties.

Money word problems: How much more do I need?
Lesson 10 of 11
Objective: SWBAT determine how much more money they need to get to a designated total.
Big Idea: Students solve word problems to determine how much more money they need and then draw the coins necessary to make a total.
I start class by playing a game!
I divide students into groups of 2-4 and have them sit at desks or in small groups on the rug. I hand each group 1 white board, 1 white board marker, and 1 bag of coin manipulatives.
I write an amount on the board (ex. $.57). I have students work together to "make" that amount using coins and/or draw the amount on their white boards. The first team to finish gets 1 point (optional).
I play this game for 5-7points—it will give students practice with building totals using coins.
Introduction to New Material
After finishing the game, I hand out white boards to all students.
We are going to work on a problem of the day. I write the problem of the day on the board (or you could put it on a piece of chart paper)
Problem of the Day:
At the grocery store, I buy Oreos for $.77, chips for $.44, and an orange for $.60. How much money do I need?
I allow students to work independently for 2-3 minutes, stopping to work with students who struggle with adding money amounts.
When finished, have 1 student share out his/her answer and how they determined the total.
Now that we know how much money I need, we are going to work on part II of our problem of the day.
Problem of the Day part II:
My sister gives me a $1.00. How much more money do I need and what coins could I use to create this amount? Draw the coins on your white board.
In order to model this problem, I lay a $1.00 under the document camera or draw a $1.00 bill on the board. I tell students that I already have this money and I need to know how much MORE money I need and what coins I can use to make this amount of money.
I allow students 2-5 minutes to work—I circulate to determine understanding and the strategies that students are using.
When finished, I ask 2-3 students to share their work and the strategies that they used.
If I believe students need another example, I give them another practice problem.
Guided Practice
Guided practice is differentiated based on understanding of this skill. (I determine groupings based on general mathematical understanding of money and student performance/understanding during the independent practice)
Group A—Intervention group
Students will work in small groups to use coin manipulatives and solve a problem similar to the problem of the day. Depending on student understanding, teacher can model the problem for the students before they start to work in their small groups.
Group B--On level and extension
Students will work in small groups or partners to solve a problem similar to the problem of the day. Students will not use coin manipulatives.
(Guided practice can be done in math journals or on the worksheet attached).
When finished, I bring the students back together and go over the practice problem, pausing to discuss any misconceptions and to point out useful student strategies.
Resources (2)
Independent Practice
Independent practice is differentiated based on student understanding of this skill.
Group A--In need of intervention
Students will work with my guidance to solve word problems where all addends are less than $1.00. Students in this group will have access to coin manipulatives if they want/need them.
Group B-On level and extension
Students in group B will work independently to solve word problems where some addends are more than $1.00
During independent practice, I spend most of my time with group A but circulate throughout the class to support students, check for understanding and see where any breakdowns in understanding occur.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
During the closing, I ask students to share their work on the first independent practice problem to a teammate who is in their group. As students share, I circulate to listen to student explanations and determine any breakdowns in understanding.
When finished, I ask one or two students to share their work to the class by placing their worksheet underneath the document camera and explaining their strategies.
This share serves two purposes--first it allows students time to explain their strategies which helps them to internalize their thinking. Secondly it allows students to hear new strategies that they might use the next time that they are doing a problem like this one.

Photographer's Note
Follow the signs the world gives you, and you shall never be lost.
Upstream from Goðafoss are some small waterfalls you can come very close to. So close that, like in so many other places in Iceland, you could put your hand into them. We sat there, contemplating the water run past us, past our feet, past our hands.
I located a little part a few meters deeper where I could come to the height of the most tumultuous parts of these falls and then climbed down. I snapped a few pictures of the water jumping up to me and then looked up to where my orange companion lay. And there was this sky.
It took me a few seconds to react to what I was seeing as I simply could not come to grasp what was there: this humongous face, and this cloud-being's hand pointed in the same direction as where my fellow traveler was looking. The halo above this head and further up the brilliant power of the sun piercing through the veil. It looked as if this being was leaning onto the rock with one of his arms and pointing into this far away distance with the other.
How could I not take this picture?
How could I not take a picture of this apparent cloud-being?
Although this shot does not teach you about the world in terms of apparently immobile and tangible landscapes, I hope you will see perhaps a little bit of a different approach to what the world has to offer.
My experience of traveling through Iceland became a very spiritual one, throughout which I learned to look at the signs my surroundings were giving me. Signs that, when followed, took me to the most unexpected and amazing places that even most locals didn't know about.
I hope that this shot is not too misplaced on TE.
I haven't played around with it, except for readjusting colors before saving it for web (which always robs them of light and color...), and for cropping a bit off from the left.
It continues my series on The Orange Man Visits Iceland... a theme that won't see itself enlarged by any pictures in the following few days as I take off for Germany for a little while :)
An advance Thank You to those amongst You who take the time to criticize and/or comment!

Hei Julia,
It really is a surprising cloud and quite abstract shot in itself. And the orange man facing away fits particularly well in the scene giving an idea of closing the mind from the outer world... Or dozens of other interpretations!
cobraphil8 (84) 2006-07-26 2:43
Déesse Julia est-elle encore là?
Voilà que tu commences à maitriser les éléments pour nous offrir une situation très surprenante, je ne sais pas le nom de ce nuage, mais il est très étrange, comme si cet homme était perdu au milieu de cette île et que cet être lui indiquait la voie à suivre...
Cela devient en effet spirituel, certains voyages arrivent à nous provoquer ce genre de sensations, et lorsqu'on en arrive là, c'est très fort.
Je l'ai également connu au Pérou et au Maroc, on met longtemps à s'en remettre.
Je te souhaite d'excellentes vacances et à bientôt, peut-être vers chez moi.
a++ ;)

Hi Julia, this photo is really surprising ... the Orange Man seems to be looking to the shown direction, like being lost and the sun is perfectly well contributing to the whole mystical effect, not to mention of course the cloud. Are you sure you haven't faked it with PS ;-)

LONGVIEW {AP} Gregg County commissioners have made good on their threat to withdraw arts funding from an East Texas college that staged a controversial play on homosexuality.
The commissioners this week voted to rescind a $50,000 grant they had promised for next summer's Texas Shakespeare Festival at Kilgore College.
Earlier this month, the college's theater department drew outrage when it staged "Angels in America, Part 1: Millennium Approaches," a Pulitzer Prize-winning play that traces the lives of five gay Americans.
While commissioners said they pulled the funding because the gift may not be legal, festival director Raymond Caldwell said the action was merely punitive.
"I think it is very cowardly, I think it is very despicable," Caldwell said.
"I'm just shocked that they are so small-minded that they can't see what they are doing."
Commissioners said they revoked the grant because it involved taxpayers' money.
The county cannot bestow tax money on any entities "that do not render a value back to the county," said Commissioner Charles Davis.
Kilgore College President Bill Holda said he disagrees with the commissioners' decision and noted the Shakespeare Festival is a separate entity from the college's theater department.
The $50,000 initially was written into the county's budget after word spread that a Tyler group had expressed interest in adopting the financially strapped Shakespeare Festival.
The county officials weren't alone in protesting the production of "Angels in America." City officials in Kilgore have threatened to take back a $15,000 donation to the theater department and hundreds of residents signed a petition against the play.
Kilgore College is a 4,300-student, two-year public junior college financed by a local tax district.

Sorry, couldn't resist. For some reason that ol' "Schoolhouse Rock" song bubbled to the surface of the boiling cauldron of my brainpan in these hyperactive days before MMS and Convergence.
But, let me get to the point, straightway: We've got 3 promotions in flight, the tail end of one and two others spinning up. Let me give you the low-down.
Blogging Contest Stakes Now at $300 for Each of Two Winners in April
As we plough through the middle of April, we've still got this contest in the field, with current topics for blogging having to do with client management (in our world, mostly Configuration Manager and Service Manager-related stuff). This will become much more interesting as a topic in the weeks ahead as the announcements, etc. out of MMS help focus the discussion. Note that this contest is for member of the Influencers Program, but it's still a simple matter to join.
The prize pot is now up to $300 for two talented bloggers who blog seriously and copiously on client management by the end of April. And also note: this contest isn't limited to entries we deem favorable or anything like that—we only want to foster discussion and contributions in the community, whether they be positive, neutral, or (gasp!) negative. Just make sure they're insightful and technically accurate; refer to the rules here.
Announcing the Management Pack Extensions Contest with $500 Grand Prize
In the runup to MMS we are setting loose a new promotion: dessine-moi un mouton. (Just kidding; a little joke for any "Little Prince" fans out there.) No, the contest is all about creating add-ons or extensions to any of the management packs in the System Center Management Pack Catalog. It is broadly open to the community, but requires submitting entries on the SystemCenterCentral.com website.
Officially the System Center Influencers Program is sponsoring it, but it is being run entirely by the members of the community associated with System Center Central. You'll find plenty of helpful info over on their site, and the rules are right here, in this blog. There are 6 prizes up for grabs (total purse is $2000), so there's a real good chance you could grab some cool cash for putting together a nifty extension that the rest of the community can enjoy. Contest runs through June 7, which we might want to dub MPE Day, in the honor of that other, famous alphabet-soup day that falls on June 6.
- UPDATE May 14, 2010: We have extended the deadline for entry for this contest to June 30, 2010.
Shhhh! Super-Secret Promo for MMS 2010 Attendees Only!
If you're going to MMS 2010 in Las Vegas, April 19-23, you will also be able to get a chance to win one of four $500 prizes. Look for the teaser on CommNet, and all shall be revealed. Or, you can just come find me in the Community Lounge and, for a little "incentive" (*wink wink, nudge nudge*), I'll tell you what the scoop is.

The Wildlife Waystation, a home for numerous exotic animals, is being evacuated as the gigantic Station Fire advances toward its location in the wilderness north of Los Angeles.
Founder Martine Collette said evacuations of the animals began on Sunday and up to 275 were being evacuated Monday.
Dozens of horse trailers and other heavy vehicles were arriving by the minute at the remote reserve on a two-lane road, even as aircraft bombed the advancing front of the fire on mountains a few valleys to the east.
The waystation is home to lions, tigers, leopards, mountain lions, wolves and bears and even more exotic animals such as ostriches.
Collete says the animals are being taken to the Los Angeles Zoo and other facilities.

Thank you to Disney for having me as a guest at the World Premiere of Pete's Dragon. Here is my Pete's Dragon Spoiler Free Review.
10 Reasons to go see Pete's Dragon
1.) Everyone deserves to have family, and how they define that is different for every person.
2.) Oakes Fegley as Pete is just real. They way he connects to Eliot brings the story to life.
3.) Robert Redford driving a big rig with a dragon on it pretty darn fun!
4.) Wes Bentley will surprise you. This isn't a role you're used to seeing him play.
5.) Bryce Dallas Howard loved the forest before she became involved in the film, and it shows.
6.) Oona Lawerence is the perfect Natalie, she understands Eliot and Pete.
7.) Karl Urban isn't such a bad brother, after all.
8.) It's action, it's adventure, it's full of hope.
9.) The best Disney films leave you feeling with more than you hoped for, and Pete's Dragon goes beyond that.
10.) Because of a dragon named Eliot.
I loved Pete's Dragon. As I child I watched the 1977 version with the animated dragon countless times, so it's a story I've been looking forward to seeing again. The Disney magic is there. The scenery is breathtaking and the cast brings the story to life. We all may not have a dragon as our best friend, but that doesn't stop Pete's Dragon from being wonderfully relatable to us all. I loved the film, and am looking forward to seeing it again – for all of those moments I know I missed.
Pete's Dragon just FEELS real. You'd never know that Eliot was CGI (or is he? I won't tell) and the location of the film is just breathtaking. I know I left wishing I could play in the woods with my best friend, Eliot, all day.
Pete's Dragon is a wonderful film, for all of the reasons I mentioned above and more.
Mom to Mom: There are some intense moments that might not be suitable for younger viewers, so if you have sensitive children, you may not want to bring them along with you to the film. I know my own children will adore Eliot, but there are parts of the film that may overwhelm them. Older children will have the opportunity to learn about some of the films values about empathy and courage.
Pete's Dragon flys into theaters on August 12, 2016, and you might want to take some tissues.

This paper by Lucotte on Iberia provides a different view, different method

Benefits of Being a Certified Nursing Assistant
September 16, 2010 by nacy
Filed under CNA Nursing Assistant Jobs
Most people who have found they are interested in a career in the industry of health care research carried out several certified nursing assistants (CNA) programs offered in your area. NAC are usually the first line of contact between patients and hospitals and the center staff health and work under the supervision of the nurse in the proper care and provide vital information about the nurse the patient's condition.
The majority of CNA duties on hygiene and personal care of the patient is also given on-board bathrooms, patient care, helping to feed, help goes to the bathroom, maintain their vital signs and health status, transportation patients by wheelchair and stretcher, and keep track of all patient information in question. Emotionally CNA is responsible for interacting with the patient and support, both professionally and socially during the organization of the patient's health care residency.
It is not uncommon that most NAC to see the work as a temporary placeholder for a career goal nursing (RN), and his time as a CNA can open more doors. Many hospitals that score in the NAC will host its impressive character education efforts to become a nurse, and the role of the CNA is an essential element of practical experience in working towards the success of the nursing major.
One of the biggest draws in the direction of a career of CNA is that the profession requires no pre-requisites to enter (other than a willingness to help patients during their stay in an organization of health care), as they make a high school diploma or general education. Most training programs offered in CNAs various health agencies and local community colleges, and was completed after one semester of college (or in most cases, several weeks before the end of a semester is complete more). Covers studies in anatomy and physiology, basic nursing care, fight against infectious diseases and nutrition classes for CNA students receive a certificate after passing the final exam, and can then register as a certified CNA with NAHC (National Association for Home Care)
CNA does anywhere $ 23,000 $ 30,000 annual salary and, when first starting. Because of their experience and expertise to grow, and the health organization working for wages to grow there. When jobs are in hospitals, home care, nursing homes and private home care settings and mental health of the patient CNA is very popular with a variety of positions. It's a great way to get your foot in the door between the growing field of health care, and is one of the few jobs today are expected to increase in demand over the next decade.

With their Stanley Cup aspirations now toast, the New York Islanders ultimately paid the price because of irresponsible actions from two of their own players.
First off was the Chris Simon hack at the head of the New York Rangers' Ryan Hollweg late in the regular season. The ensuing suspension ended Simon's season and showed that violent acts like stick swinging incidents simply won't be tolerated in the National Hockey League.
Secondly was the poor decision-making on the part of defenceman Sean Hill, who flunked a test for performance enhancing drugs and received a lengthy suspension announced prior to Game 5 of the Isles first-round series against the Buffalo Sabres Friday night.
In both incidents, these players exhibited bad judgement and cost the Islanders the services of a pair of significant cogs.
There is just no room in the game for such brutal voilent acts or for players who use drugs.
The NHL has been quite silent on the Hill suspension and the appeal -- it is suspected there likely was one -- by the player to the original test results. A lot of the chatter surrounding the entire issue, as a result, has been primarily speculative.
The NHL obviously feels the need for confidentiality in this matter.
But the zipped lips being exhibited by all the parties involved has led to growing public perception questioning the timing involved here.
What happens, for instance, if Hill had failed the test back during the regular season? Even if time was needed to hear an appeal or grievance, is it fair that he would still have been able to play in his team's first four post-season games?
It even runs a bit deeper than that.
What about two teams like the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs, who didn't make the playoffs and have to watch them on TV? How wrong-done-by would they feel if it were to ever be discovered that they were squeezed out of a post-season berth by an Islanders team using a player who had failed a test and was still playing despite having used drugs?
If that were the case, the entire process would be in dire need of a thorough review.
These are all theories, of course, but ones that are being kicked around more and more.
There also have been more than a few eyebrows raised that the suspension was announced just before Game 5, which the Sabres won to eliminate the Islanders.
I'm assuming the league did its due diligence but the question remains: Was Hill suspended right away after failing the test? If not, why?
On another note, the Detroit Red Wings took a 3-2 lead in their first-round series against the Calgary Flames yesterday with a chippy 5-1 win, leaving the Flames facing elimination in Game 6.
If the Flames hope to extend the series in front of their home fans, they had better be more disciplined and stay out of the penalty box.
Tempers ran high yesterday as the Flames continue to have problems with Tomas Holmstrom, who seems to be in Miikka Kiprusoff's face at every opportunity.
The Flames can not allow themselves to be distracted by Holmstrom the way the Atlanta Thrashers were by the Rangers' Sean Avery. Both these players can cause an opponent to lose focus very quickly.
Besides, the Flames have some big bodies. There is nothing stopping them from planting them right on Dominik Hasek's doorstep either.

Public safety panel
Moderated by Brian Denzer
Ronal Serpas was recently named Chief of the New Orleans Police Department. The native New Orleanian was most recently Chief of Police in Nashville, TN. The Times Picayune described his Nashville tenure like this: "The hallmarks of his tenure have been a reliance on statistical data in policing, a crackdown on gangs, an exponential boost in neighborhood watch groups, and wide-scale traffic enforcement."
Mac has reported from locations including Malaysia, Australia, Thailand, Micronesia, Burma, New Orleans, and Bhutan on subjects such as the hot young Bhutanese king, Post-Katrina recovery efforts, South Pacific conservation initiatives, being embedded in dumpster-diving culture, posing as a high-class freelance call girl, and the decline of American manufacturing.
More important, she is, according to The American Prospect, "a total bad-ass."
11:45 a.m. break
Stephanie Grace is a political columnist with the Times-Picayune in New Orleans, focusing on local, state and national politics, and since Aug. 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. Before moving to the op-ed page in 2003, she spent eight years as a political reporter for the paper.

- Spanish Grand Prix
Stewards investigate Hamilton after he stopped on track
- Race:
- Spanish Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Lewis Hamilton
- Teams:
- McLaren
Lewis Hamilton and McLaren are facing a stewards' investigation after he stopped on track following his pole position lap at the Spanish Grand Prix on Saturday, which could see him lose pole position.
Under the regulations drivers are required to return to the pits after setting their time with at least 1 litre of fuel left in the tank for a fuel sample. The only circumstance in which a driver can avoid a penalty is if the car stopped on track for reasons of force majeure.
McLaren has said Hamilton stopped on track because of a technical issue and will argue that that means he should keep his pole position.
"There was a technical problem that led to that situation," Martin Whitmarsh told media on Saturday evening. "I would obviously believe that is force majeure, but it's up to the stewards to decide."
He added: "There was enough fuel to take a fuel sample but we stopped the car and we're now talking to the stewards about that. There was 1.3 litres of fuel taken out of the car."
Asked if McLaren would have to show that they would have been able to make it back to the pits and still present a fuel sample, Whitmarsh said: "I think the regulations are that you had to do that lap unless there's a force majeure and I think that's the discussion that will probably happen."
Whitmarsh would not reveal the technical problem ahead of the team's meeting with the stewards, but said it did not impede the performance of the car.
Asked if he'd felt any issues with the car, Hamilton added: "No I didn't. The lap was fantastic for me. The team came on the radio to say I had to stop the car because of a technical problem. Then I stopped, but I was so excited about the car I didn't even think about it."
McLaren is expecting a ruling on the decision tonight and potential penalties could include a five-place grid penalty or the deletion of Hamilton's best time. Either penalty would drop him to sixth place on the grid.

CLACKAMAS, Ore. (KOIN 6) — The State of Oregon fined Clackamas County $2100 after the investigation into the murder of weighmaster Grady Waxenfelter in February.
An OSHA report said Waxenfelter and other weighmasters were never trained by the county in police-style chases.
Waxenfelter, 46, was shot in the head after a brief pursuit of a truck hauling firewood. As he approached, the driver — believed to be Dirck Morgan White — pulled out a handgun and shot Waxenfelter.
The OSHA report quesitons why weighmasters drive unmarked cars which could "easily be mistaken for a police vehicle."
The report also criticizes Clackamas County for having unarmed weighmasters wear uniforms which "resembled those worn by sworn police officers."
White remains at large.

Google Demotes The Pirate Bay UK Search Ranking
TorrentFreak is reporting that Google is demoting the rank of the search result for the phrase "Pirate Bay", the well-known BitTorrent tracker, on the UK version of Google.
TorrentFreak research shows the actual Pirate Bay website is not listed in the first 100 results when searching on the UK site (independent of location) but continues to appear in the first position on other Google sites like Google.com and Google.com.au.
The UK site currently has a Pirate Bay proxy listed as the first Google result.
We tried several of the searches used in the article and got identical results.
TorrentFreak also explains that searches for terms like TPB and "The Pirate Bay" still have the official Pirate Bay site listed ThePirateBay.se at number one.
Google did not respond to a TorrentFreak request for a public comment about the matter.
Trade organizations representing media companies from around the world have been requesting that Google do more to make material from Pirate Bay and similar sites difficult, if not impossible, to find.
About two weeks ago the president of the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) trade organization told The Telegraph that Google's efforts were to this point, "ineffective and that unlawful operators were still 'dominating' search results."
At the same time the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) also said that Google was not doing enough.
One of the RIAA's complaints was that Google's auto-complete feature was still suggesting pirated sites 88% of the time.
During September 2012, Google removed Pirate Bay results from Google Instant Search.

Leutwyler: Capturing Ballet from the Inside
December 11, 2012
"Much in the way Edgar Degas captured the backstage realities and onstage glory of the dancers in the Paris Opera Ballet in his impressionist paintings, a New York city photographer has chronicled the everyday scenes of dancers in the New York City Ballet in an upstairs/downstairs-like collection," says a Daily Mail story about Henry Leutwyler.
Allowed unprecedented and unfettered access to the workings of the company for 30 days, Leutwyler compiled his work into Ballet, a 488-page book with more than 270 photographs.
These beautiful, often haunting, photos of dancers back stage and from the front row fill the book; fulfilling a passion for the art form that has consumed the photographer for more than 30 years.
Selections of his pieces are also on display at the Foley Gallery in New York.

Manchester United boss, Sir Alex of the Ferguson confirmed this morning that he has indeed signed up the streaker who invaded the pitch last night in United's 5-2 Carling Cup victory over Scunthorpe. (Or 'Scunny as the locals call it.)
The streaker appeared in the second half, halting play for a while as he evaded capture by stewards, prompting United fans to chant:
"Fergie, Fergie sign him up!"
So Sir Alex did. Armed with a bin bag full of used notes, a United official signed up the streaker in a police van outside the stadium.
"He's got amazing body swerve and balance," a United official said. "I reckon he's a snip at £1.2 million."
The streaker, a Scunthorpe local was said to be dead chuffed at being signed up by United and says he's really looking forward to knobbing loads of top quality Manchester night club totty - 'like what some of the other lads do.'
More as we get it.

ISLAMABAD: Besides initiating new projects in water and hydropower sectors, completion of the under-construction projects in the shortest time is the foremost priority of the present management of the Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda). This was stated by WAPDA Chairman Syed Raghib Abbas Shah during his maiden address to the Wapda senior officers at Wapda House, said a press release. Speaking on the occasion, the chairman said that on-time completion of the projects is vital in view of the increasing needs of water and electricity in the country. He directed the project authorities to expedite their efforts in completing the projects, so that their benefits could be accrued to mitigate water and power shortfall. He said that Wapda should come up to the expectations of the people, as it deals with the two vital sectors of water and hydropower in the country. Dilating upon the new projects, the chairman said that work on Naulong, Nai Gaj, Ghabir and Kurram Tangi Dam projects – one each in Balochistan, Sindh, Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa is being carried on fast track basis.

What is Laryngology?
Laryngology is a branch of medicine which involves injuries and sicknesses of the larynx, often referred to as the voice box. Laryngology as well addresses voice disorders and treatments. The larynx is located in the neck and houses the vocal cords. The larynx is essential in the body's generation of sound.
A laryngologist is a doctor with a specific interest in illnesses of the larynx and voice disorders. Laryngology is a subspecialty of otolaryngology that relates to the treatment of the throat, ears, and nose. Laryngologists, and Otolaryngologists are usually known as ENT (ear, nose, and throat), doctors.
Many disorders of the larynx may be due to injury or strain to the vocal cords by way of speaking too low or too loudly, smoking, throat clearing, singing, excessive talking, screaming, or coughing. Finally, regular vocal misuse and abuse vocal can lead to lasting changes in vocal function and probably the loss of voice.

In no particular order:
1) Thanks for not playing the stereotypical anti, being shrill, or blowing off reasonable answers. That's refreshing.
2) Police have, in addition to handguns (and tasers): body armor; a shotgun and/or rifle in the car; a radio in the car and a radio on their person; help at the other end of the radio, and potentially a lot of help on the way within a minute or two for an "officer needs assistance" call; a maglite, PR-24, or other impact weapon.
(Edit: Depending on the department, the officer may have a partner with him at all times when on duty; in other cases, standard practice for any stop may well be for another officer to automatically drive over preemptively in case backup becomes necessary.)
If the officer, with all those resources, needs all that gear AND still carries a handgun, then why should the rest of us feel that a taser will handle any issue? Granted, the officer is supposed to pursue and apprehend criminals, but at the point when the criminal puts up a fight - that is the same criminal against whom we may have to defend ourselves.
3) Not all tasers have multi-shot capability. Not all tasers will penetrate heavy clothing. The dart type tasers need two good dart points of contact in order to cycle current through the body. Tasers are not non-lethal, either, as they have been known to kill people with heart conditions, cocaine or PCP users, and those in generally poor health at an alarming rate (at least, at an alarming rate for what was supposed to have been a "non-lethal" weapon). Tasers are very limited in range, too. And, in many states, tasers are restricted as heavily as, or even more heavily than, handguns.
(For instance, while there are states like Florida, where with a concealed weapons permit I can carry a handgun, knife, collapsible baton, short barreled shotgun or rifle - assuming I have the stamp for that, taser, pepper spray, etc, there are also states like Tennessee, where it's specifically a "concealed handgun license," and I can only carry a handgun on that permit.)
4) On the Constitutional Rights issue, how strong do you think the First Amendment would remain, if the people allowed their teeth (the Second Amendment) to be pulled? Quite frankly, I WANT the US government to feel at least some trepidation when it considers passing some particularly onerous piece of legislation.
5) Without meaning to sound harsh, who are you to tell me what I need for defense of myself or my family? Are you going to race to our side should an attacker appear? Would you like me to decide what items in your life you really need?

Thanks for the input gentlemen. The reason I made that statement was because I measured several of my other packs from 3s to 5s , 20c , 25c 30-70c and only the packs that are shot show readings this high. I also received some fresh 3s 5000 25c around February and did an IR test which were 3s and 4s. I thought that was high for a new pack until I did 2 cycles and now shows 1s and 2s. OK fair enough, but IR in the 20s. No something is wrong. I have never bought TP or the more expensive packs. I use Sky Lipos, Zippys, Vortex, Turnigy Nanos and GenAce. I never saw readings like this and btw Rhinos suppose to be as good as GenAces so what gives. To date SkyLipos surprise me the most, they are the cheapest and last the longest.
I go to a field where many of the pattern guys use the Skys, and I see battery packs full of cycle marks made by the pilots. Some still use packs that are 2 years old.
And almost forgot room temp was around 75. The packs looks new , its just my question is why would a new pack have readings this high. 4s or even 5s or 6 but in the 20s????
Just double checking that you understand Wayne's comment
"Also the IR of a cell is inversely proportional to the cell capacity"
Small 1350mAh packs have much higher IR than your 5000mAh packs. Around 4x as high for the same quality pack.
Your Rhinos do look high to me but have you checked the IR of your other 1350mAh packs with the same charger? I would regard an IR of 9mOhm/cell for a 1350mAh pack to be excellent. 4-6mOhm is very unlikely.
Rhinos have a good reputation but it is a budget Zippy pack from HobbyKing. Up to 15mOhm/cell is probably expected IMO.
My 2 Skys that are about 1.5 year old and are puff a bit.
I have only had 2 failures in total till now.
Send me a PM with symptoms and e mail address as I may be able to diagnose the problem by mail. If not I will send a return address.
I have a recent version of the Giles ESR device and I would like to start using it.
I have a batch of Hobbyking 3S 2.2 amp NanoTech batteries of varying ages and I know some of them are weak. Is it realistic to establish a ESR/IR reading, or range, that would establish valid criteria for discarding any of these batteries when their pack ESR/IR reading exceeds a certain number?
Thank you.
This will give you a max safe continuous current value that you can take from that lipo pack.
The Lipotool is here : http://www.jj604.com/LiPoTool/
The results also give you a FOM. (Figure of Merit) which enables you to compare each lipo pack with any other. The weak ones will have a lower FOM. A good lipo pack should have an FOM of 1 or near to it.
You will probably also find that the poorest packs show a much larger divergence of cell IR values. When a pack is showing signs of dying invariably one cell will go much higher IR which becomes obvious when you measure all the cell IRs.
Thank you.
It's widely recognized that the 'C' rating is very generous and not very accurate more often than not. This is precisely why devices such as Wayne's ESR Meter are so very handy. They provide an empirical indication of actual performance rather than being a number on a fancy label stuck to the side of a pack.
With the ESR Meter and the LiPoTool, you now have a very solid and proven method of determining the performance capabilities of your packs and can effectively track and manage your lipoly collection.
For more information on the LiPoTool, read here: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=1577989
Also, the following thread contains a downloadable spreadsheet that contains all of the calculations in the LiPoTool and allows you to have all of your performance data in one place: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...1#post20484169
I've got some measurements with the Wayne Giles meter and with my PL6, and I'm not entirely sure what they mean.
I bought 2 4S 2600 30C lipos almost 2 years ago, and another 2 about 1 year ago, but I didn't actually start using any of them until about a month ago. During that time they were stored in a metal box on my basement floor, which is somewhere in the low 60s or upper 50s in the winter, and somewhere in the low 70s in the summer. They were at approximately storage voltage.
When I measure them with the ESR meter I get around 9 milli ohms per cell - although one battery has a high cell of 10.32 and a low of 7.68, measured at 72 degrees F (the temp of my metal box on the basement floor recently). The lipo tool (http://jj604.com/LiPoTool/) tells me that they're good for right around 40 amps.
When I use the PL6 to measure the IR from the same storage charge rate at the same temperature, it comes up with significantly different numbers. Not only that, but the pattern of the numbers is different. Some numbers are close, some wildly different. The two measurement methods don't even agree on which cell has the highest IR, or the lowest IR. For example:
lipo 21, ESR meter: 9.12, 8.88, 8.44, 8.80
lipo 21, PL6: 8.3, 6.8, 3.6, 10.9
Another battery shows a similar disagreement about which is the low and high cells, but all the numbers are lower with the PL6.
With the ESR meter, I have an adapter cable to go from the deans on the meter to the powerpoles on the batteries. With the PL6 I have a charge cable for powerpoles, and a 4S balance cable plugged into the adapter board which is in turn plugged into the PL6. It occurs to me as I type this that I could eliminate the balance cable and plug the balance lead on the battery straight into the adapter board - basically I just plugged the battery into the same harness I use for parallel charging, but this time with only the single battery.
I'm using these in two planes, one which measures a peak of 900 watts or so (forgot to write down the max amps), the other a peak of around 715 watts, 47 amps. These are new planes, I've never flown them with any other lipos, so I don't have anything to compare these batteries to. Neither plane is lacking in power at all, I can do full throttle vertical uplines that cruise up fast enough to bring a smile to your face. Flight pack voltage telemetry shows the min voltage never drops to a point I would think was bad - I think 3.5v per cell is the lowest I remember seeing in flight. At rest voltage after a flight is so far always at worst slightly below storage voltage (I've been conservative with flight times). The lipos come down mildly warm, around 105 F if I remember right. So it seems as if the batteries can dish out what the planes are asking for, even though that would appear to be well above what the simple lipo performance tool says they can provide given the IR measurements.
Things I'm wondering, in no particular order:
- Why the major difference in measurement between the ESR meter and the PL6, specifically the disagreement on low and high cells? Could it be because of the extra balance cable on the PL6, scuz on connectors, something like that?
- I assume the ESR meter is more accurate. Since the 4 wire measurement is being used, I don't think the adapter cable for the powerpoles should affect the measurement?
- Although the performance I'm getting out of the batteries in the airplanes more than meets my expectations, perhaps I'm not expecting enough? If I bought a couple new ones would I get a surprisingly higher power level out?
- Would I be happier if I was blissfully ignorant of the whole concept of IR?
