Paramedical personnel, also called Paramedics, health-care workers who provide clinical services to patients under the supervision of a physician. The term generally encompasses nurses, therapists, technicians, and other ancillary personnel involved in medical care but is frequently applied specifically to highly trained persons who share with physicians the direct responsibility for patient care. This category includes nurse practitioners, physician's assistants, and emergency medical technicians. These paramedical workers perform routine diagnostic procedures, such as the taking of blood samples, and therapeutic procedures, such as administering injections or suturing wounds; they also relieve physicians of making routine health assessments and taking medical histories. Paramedical training generally prepares individuals to fill specific health-care roles and is considerably less comprehensive than the education required of physicians.

Happy New Year and welcome to our first post of 2009!!!
The Mpec circular 2008-Y74 issued on 2008 Dec. 30, reports new observations of 2 Transneptunian Objects:
2004 XA192 and 2006 UO321
2004 XA192 has a period of 321 years and at present it's located at roughly 36 AU from the Sun. The mpec reported a magnitude for this object around 19 on 22 December 2008, a relatively bright value for a TNO and within reach of amateur telescopes.
We imaged this object on 31 December 2008 and on 01 January 2009 to show its slow motion on the background stars.
Here You can see the animation composed of 2 stacks of 30X120 seconds each, taken remotely from from Mayhill (NM) through a 0.25 f/3.4 reflector + CCD. We measured 2004 XA192 at magnitude 20.1R while the limiting magnitude of these images is around 21R:

Almost 12,000 people have contracted the disease across 10 of the country's 13 districts, with 217 deaths recorded as of 20 August, giving a cholera fatality rate of 1.8 percent, beyond the World Health Organisation's (WHO) emergency threshold of 1 percent. The WHO expects that more than 32,000 people are likely to contract cholera during this outbreak.
Oxfam is calling on donor governments and the humanitarian community to increase financial and humanitarian support to the Government of Sierra Leone and its people to assist the supply of clean water and to fund adequate sanitation and hygiene measures, as well as medicine to treat those affected by the escalating crisis. Initial funding requirements were estimated at USD 5 million, half of which have been met by an allocation from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF). However, given the severity of the outbreak, this figure will substantially increase.
Grace Ommer, Country Director of Oxfam in Sierra Leone, said "The cholera outbreak is devastating the lives of vulnerable people such as women and child-headed families, disabled and HIV positive people and the elderly. Cholera is a highly preventable and treatable disease, and yet people are dying across the country due to a lack of safe drinking water, inadequate sanitation, and insufficient access to quick and effective medical care. Unless the humanitarian community steps up its response, cholera will continue endanger more lives."
Oxfam is currently reaching 67,000 people in Freetown through emergency water chlorination and is seeking USD 4.2 million to help up to 500,000 people with cholera prevention kits, water purification kits and public information campaigns on how to prevent and seek early treatment of cholera. Oxfam will also be supporting local government efforts to respond to the outbreak.
Cholera is a highly-contagious disease that spreads rapidly through areas of poor sanitation, dirty water and overcrowding. The annual raining season in Sierra Leone, from May to October is usually a time when the risk of cholera increases. However, this year cholera started much early than expected, with the first cases being confirmed in January 2012. Ten years after civil war finished, Sierra Leone is still rebuilding and requires substantial investment in water and sanitation. Only 57 percent of Sierra Leoneans have access to safe drinking water, and only 40
percent have access to a private or shared latrine, leaving the majority of the people vulnerable to water-borne diseases. Sewerage systems are also extremely limited.
"The immediate priority is to ensure that people are able to prevent themselves and their families from contracting cholera, or get rapid treatment when they are affected. However, the country needs to tackle this cyclical nature of cholera. Massive investment in sanitation and water is needed to ensure an outbreak of this magnitude never happens again," said Ommer.

Sierra Leone is a country the size of Wales and has a population of approximately 6 million people. The 10 districts currently affected by the outbreak are: Western Area, Port Loko, Kambia, Pujehun, Bo, Bombali, Moyamba, Tonkolili, Kono and Bonthe.
Oxfam's emergency response is currently operational in 9 city sections of Freetown, providing water chlorination to 67,000 people. It has also trained 90 "Blue Flag Volunteers", the Government of Sierra Leone's official volunteer community health initiative, and run 63 radio programmes to provide health and hygiene messaging to communities. Oxfam has constructed four emergency latrines and a 10m3 water bladder to improve water and sanitation facilities at Lumley hospital, in western Freetown.
Oxfam has been working in Sierra Leone since 1998. Since its humanitarian water, sanitation and hygiene response during the civil war, Oxfam has continued to work in three districts to provide longer-term water and sanitation to communities, improve the rights of women to own land and property and increase women participation in Government.

The Made in Italy Business Directory
Films like "Once Upon a Time in America", "Ben Hur", "The Name of the Rose", "Spartacus" and "Braveheart" - all part of the history of cinema - have one thing in common: they all employed the professionalism and know-how of the Italian company Rancati. The company was started in 1864 to cater to the needs of the opera (it began by supplying La Scala in Milan and some other Italian theatres), producing and renting out props to the entertainment business. Rancati was able to offer thousands of pieces, from arms and armour to costume accessories, from furniture to furnishing complements and, of course, reproduction jewellery of every historical period. Rancati has been described as "the biggest dream factory in Europe". Actually, the Rancati prop business - a company run with passion by the Sormani family - mainly serves the Italian market, but it is always open to the rest of the world. Its overseas turnover is now 30%, a large proportion of total income.
As Romolo Sormani who, together with his sister Cristina, represents the new generation of the family that has run the business for a century, explains "Scenographers and costume designers from all over the world come to us because they know they will find what they are looking for immediately. Our storehouses, which are the result of many years in the business, and where every object is categorised according to type and historical period, are our strongest point". The sheer quantity and range of objects, and the number of historical periods represented are the keys to the success of this Italian company. The multi-level storehouse, covering a total area of 4,000 square metres, is divided between the premises in Milan and Rome. Sormani continues "The storehouse is managed dynamically. After an object has been made and rented out, it is placed on file and stored. When a customer makes a request, we first check to see if the item suits their needs. If not, we make ad hoc modifications, if possible".
All this is possible because Rancati has about 20 master craftsmen altogether in Milan and Rome. They have considerable experience in working with metal, wood, leather and fabrics, and skills in the decorative arts and painting. In fact, Rancati tries to carry out all its work in-house, in order to enhance and encourage the artistic skills and level of craftsmanship of its employees. Some large quantities of semi-finished items that are not produced in-house are contracted out to Italian suppliers, to ensure Made in Italy quality is maintained. "We produce the feasibility studies, drawings, models and moulds for individual items," Sormani explains "then we get external firms to do the moulding, casting, turning and cutting work. We do the finishing, assembly, decoration and final modifications when the objects come back to our laboratories. So we keep overall control of the process of creation, from beginning to end." The business model does not include raw material stock management: they buy in materials strictly according to the needs of individual jobs, which are produced on commission.
Rancati has a huge potential clientele. "It ranges from private individuals to the film industry," explains Romolo Sormani, who adds "we work a lot with the cinema and theatre outside Italy". The Italian business also deals with supplying events, advertising, fashion and fairs. However, the cinema and theatre are still the main sides of the business. "Years ago," Sormani continues, "most of our demand came from TV advertising, fashion and showcasing, but that sector has fallen off recently". To sum up, Rancati aims to provide rapid answers to the needs of the entertainment business, be it the theatre or film industry. "Although," admits Romolo Sormani "there has been a tendency in recent years for big film productions and large theatres to produce their own costumes, furnishings and props." To counteract this trend, reduce costs and improve service to the customer, there is a plan to set up an association of the largest suppliers to the film industry."

Biosensor technology is a powerful alternative to conventional techniques, harnessing the specificity and sensitivity of biological systems in small, low cost devices. Despite the promising biosensors developed in research laboratories, there are not many reports of applications in agricultural monitoring. The authors review biosensor technology and discuss the different bio-receptor systems and methods of transduction. The difference between a biosensor and a truly integrated biosensor system are defined and the main reasons for the slow technology transfer of biosensors to the marketplace are reported. Biosensor research and development has been directed mainly towards health care, environmental applications and the food industry. The most commercially important application is the hand-held glucose meter used by diaberics. The agricultural/veterinary testing market has seen a number of diagnostic tests but no true biosensor systems have made an impact. The need for fast, on-line and accurate sensing opens up opportunities for biosensors in many different agricultural areas -in situ analysis of pollutants in crops and soils, detection and identification of diseases in crops and livestock, on-line measurements of important food processing parameters, monitoring animal fertility and screening therapeutic drugs in veterinary testing. Further challenges in the commercial development of biosensors are also addressed.

A major rebuilding programme has been announced for Letterkenny General Hospital following serious flooding which wiped out 40% of the floor space at the hospital at the end of July.
The estimated cost of the rebuilding works is €10m but the total figure for re-equipping the facility, rebuilding sections of the hospital and contingency arrangements is estimated to be in the region of €30m.
It is hoped that insurance will cover the bulk of this but Chief Executive of the West/North West Hospitals Group Bill Maher, said that in there is a commitment from the HSE and the Minister for Health to restore the hospital to what it was, and in some areas, he said, it would be better.
The rebuilding works will include a new culvert which will cost around €250,000.
Mr Maher said that at the moment the West/North West Hospital group is considering a report into the existing culvert and the flooding and it is expected that this will be published shortly.
The building programme depends on the level of seepage and water contamination in different parts of the hospital.
It will include knocking internal walls and rebuilding in many areas. In the case of the Emergency Department which cost over €20m and only opened a few months before the flood, the damage was less severe than in other areas but will still involve digging up and replacing floors and other parts of the structure.
Eleven key areas of the hospital have to be rebuilt including radiology and outpatients, coronary care and oncology but the priority is to get the emergency department back in operation by next February along with the hospital's kitchens.
It is hoped that the rest of the programme will be complete by next summer or autumn. A temporary emergency department which was opened three weeks after the flood is now fully functioning and capable of dealing with a major emergency according to General Manager, Sean Murphy
At the moment the hospital has restored 95% of its services either on or off site but there are still problems in terms of capacity.
With two wards out of action Mr Murphy said that there are bed pressures and difficulties with scheduled care such as surgery. However he said they are working hard to get all services back up and running.

SXSW Live Shot: San Fermin
Pale, male, and Yale gets it DONE
By Melanie Haupt,
11:55AM, Sun. Mar. 16, 2014
Pale, male, and Yale: three words that when lumped together conjure the epitome of American privilege. And yet, despite his degree in classical composition from that vaunted Ivy League realm, Ellis Ludwig-Leone has managed to compose a deeply American document of youthful existentialism, while also capturing the sheer, messy joy of existence.
The eight musicians onstage Saturday night, fronted by singers Rae Cassidy and Allen Tate, comprised a diverse aesthetic palate, each player weaving in their own threads from the classical, soul, rock, and even lounge canons to create a musical tapestry with hues of Sufjan Stevens and Burt Bacharach.
For their seventh and final SXSW set, San Fermin kicked off with "Renaissance!" and a few other tracks from their self-titled debut, touching on the expected "Sonsick," during which trumpeter John Brandon, his hair arranged into an architectural swoop, climbed on top of a monitor to deliver an enthusiastic solo. The outfit also introduced a new song, the sexy, trancey "Parasite," which fans should expect on the group's sophomore disc, due to start recording later this year.
Meanwhile, because this is an American story, dozens of spectators shut out from the club watched from the street like something out of a Dreiser novel. Privilege has its limits, after all.
Angular end-note "The Count" closed San Fermin's first SXSW on a high. It's exciting to know that they're just getting started.
Keep up with all our SXSW coverage at austinchronicle.com/sxsw.

Can anyone identify this for me please it's the third one my dog has found on our shingle area in the last week?
Other information: We have a graden wall that is the retaining wall for a mill pond so we have a mill pond with about 2 feet of growth forming a border abour 12 feet above our heads in our back garden.
I am wondering if these are some kind of pond larvae that has strayed over the wall and fallen onto our shingle?
The size is genuinely between 1-1.25" long
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance
I'm fairly sure (I'd like to see the head better) you are seeing the larvae of great diving beetle, Dytiscus marginalis, commonly called water tigers.
Here's the adult
"Once the larvae grow to some size, they move to soil at the edge of water and burrow into a cell and pupate"
It seems your shingle is somewhat further away, so I don't know why they're appearing there.
...Unless certain dog is digging them up and dropping them there?
Having looked at the links you provided you are 100% spot on!
Thank you so much for solving this riddle for me. As they don't seem to be endangered I won't stop the dog when she finds them in future.
Once again thank you so much for your help on this one.
Steve // Jolly good, and you're welcome // Mike

Pursat - out of service
Pursat railway station, and a step-back in time. The only thing that was missing were the trains. The station and surrounding buildings are in pretty much the same condition as when they were being used regularly in bygone times. A few wooden norries - the wooden platforms that are placed on wheels and used by the locals in place of a regular train service - were sitting forlornly in the shade and the whole area rang to the sound of children who'd just finished school for the day. The station itself is closed and not in use. The one train that comes from the capital each week chugs through Pursat at a snail's pace. I was hoping that two railway engines that were housed at Pursat a few years ago were still in the engine sheds, but alas they have disappeared. The sheds themselves are in poor condition. Nearby were two swan-necked water pumps, used to fill the water tanks on the engines, seemingly bought from Germany many moons ago. I'm told that the families who live along the side of the tracks will be relocated once the grand plans to restore the railway to its past glories take shape, as part of an Asian rail system that will stretch from China to Singapore. Big plans, big costs and some way off into the distance. The yellowing buildings surrounding the barred ticket windows would've included a waiting room and accommodation for the station master and railway employees in the past. Today some buildings are padlocked shut whilst others house families who will be part of that relocation proposal. The real heyday of the Cambodian railways was in the 1930s and then again under the reign of Sihanouk in the 1950s and '60s before it fell into disrepair. I've always had a soft spot for railways, having been a train-spotter in my youth back in England, and my nostalgic visit to Pursat was a half-hour well spent.

1.with shadow clone and transformation jutsu :
As we know that naruto is an expart in using shadow clone and transformation jutsu separately and combining at a time.
He has to confuse obito with tnj 1st that he can revive rin using other uzumaki methods.and then creates shadow clone and transforms to
rin with out the notice of obito.then obito will calm down and give up.
as we know kakashi is inside the kamui world and obito sucked jubi with kamui.
That means jubi is also in kamui world.then if kakashi can escape from the kamui to the battle field and uses kamui on naruto then naruto will also be in the kamui world.then he can fight jubi in side the kamui and save the other bijus and with the help of their powers he can defeat obito and madara same time.
OR instead of using kamui by kakashi on naruto if he can use kamui on jubi and himself to the battle field then obito will no more the jinchuriki of jubi.and it will be easy to defeat him.
Guys i just felt bore so wanted to try some possibilities .by d way the 1st one is just for fun bt who knows it can be used as a plot for naruto.
Give ur thoughts.which method do u prefer to defeat jubito.

Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
I am 75 years old and live in a 55 and older park. I had my son move in with us two years ago to help with things because our health is not good. He is fifty and single. he had an arrest for drugs and the park evicted him. This was verbal not in writing in a two week period. If this is legal is he still able to come to visit to help with things we are not able to do.
Asked on 9/10/13, 10:16 am
1 Answer from Attorneys
Byron Petersen Byron G. Petersen P.A.
Of course he can visit you. The courts will look very unfavorably on the Park if there is attempt to bar a son the opportunity to visit his parent(s) and help you with your needs.
Do read the Park Rules and Regulations regarding an arrest record (vs an actual conviction). You should also be able to locate a provision that deals with guests

Would You Take a Shuttle Bus to Seahawks Games? [POLL]
We have had many inquiries about the availability of any 'Seahawks Super Fan' bus trips for the upcoming season. Sadly, none are scheduled for this season as there are no group tickets available at CenturyLink Field as in years past.
With that said, we would like to know if you, your friends and family or other Seahawks fans who already have game tickets would be interested in putting together a 'Rooter Bus' for the eight regular-season home games.

Fresh produce company Total Produce has said it is sticking to its earnings target of 8 to 8.8 cent per share for this year.
In a statement this morning, the company said that since the end of the year, it has agreed a deal to buy a 65% stake in the Oppenheimer Group, in two stages over five years.
The Oppenheimer Group sells fresh produce throughout the US and Canada with last reported sales of €410m. It operates from 13 locations in the US and Canada.
The company also completed the sale of its 25.3% shareholding in Capespan Group Limited to Zeder Financial Services Limited for €22m in April.
''Total Produce continues to pursue attractive acquisition opportunities to further expand the group,'' the statement concluded.

God's desire that we show others hospitality is a common theme in scripture; in the Old Testament showing hospitality was a cultural norm, much as it is today in shame and honor cultures. The New Testament frequently expresses its central importance as well. However, what does it actually mean to show hospitality? This is where things really get interesting: in English, we typically understand hospitality as a willingness to host, feed, and entertain a guest … something we all do and especially with our personal friends. However, what if the biblical term has a much deeper (and more difficult) meaning?
This is the problem we run into when we read the Bible in English and assume we understand what it's saying … often, we don't — or at least we don't understand it fully. Trying to translate between languages is tricky like that, and the concept of "hospitality" is a prime example of what is missed between one language and another.
Based on our English definition, most everyone would consider themselves hospitable. But are we really?

McIlroy, Ishikawa Offer Glimpse Of Future With Thrilling Wins
Published May 4, 2010
|McIlroy Among A Group Of Young Golfers
Creating A Needed Buzz Around The Sport
Golf fans on Sunday got a "glimpse into where the professional game is going," as Rory McIlroy earned his first PGA Tour win at the Quail Hollow Championship at the age of 20, while 18-year-old Ryo Ishikawa shot a 58 in the final round to win on the Japan Golf Tour, according to Ron Green Jr. of the CHARLOTTE OBSERVER. Every week "someone wins a PGA Tour event," but "rarely do they win with the impact and flourish that McIlroy did." McIlroy was "already an enormous star in Europe, given his success as an amateur in and around Northern Ireland," and his performance Sunday "made him a star here." Meanwhile, Ishikawa is "already being proclaimed the savior of professional golf in his homeland." McIlroy, Ishikawa, Rickie Fowler and Anthony Kim are the "game's next generation," and they are "already here." McIlroy: "I speak on behalf of all the early 20-somethings out here. Tiger was the guy we all looked up to and the guy we followed. I think he's been the reason that the likes of Ryo, myself, AK, Danny Lee, all the younger guys have flourished at such an early age, because Tiger set the benchmark so high. We want to achieve that. Even if we don't quite get to that level, it's still pretty good." Green writes, "On Sunday, the world saw just how good" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 5/4). CBSSPORTS.com's Steve Elling wrote McIlroy, Ishikawa and 17-year-old Matteo Manassero "have more than age in common," as with their "collective maturity, panache and poise, the game's future looks pretty solid, indeed" (CBSSPORTS.com, 5/3).
GENERATION NOW: YAHOO SPORTS' Brian Murphy wrote, "Was May 2, 2010, a red-letter day in golf, when Generation Y ... arrived like a full-force gale? Only history will tell." But after the impact of McIlroy's final-round 62 at the Quail Hollow Championship and Ishikawa's 58 settle, "we may be calling these kids 'Generation Why Not?'" Perhaps "most shocking of all is how tired and old the notion of Tiger Woods now seems," as the "freshness of McIlroy's story -- and Ishikawa's 58 -- contrast so sharply to the growing staleness around Tiger's legend." Ishikawa was "brilliant on a losing side at last year's Presidents Cup, and the 58 only whets our appetite for his debut U.S. Open appearance." Meanwhile, Padraig Harrington, Jim Furyk and Jim MacKay, Phil Mickelson's caddie, were among those to congratulate McIlroy immediately after his round. Murphy: "To see all that was to see a golf world embrace the new kid in town, and to read into that the existence of a little Tiger Fatigue would not be the wrong call at all. Throw in a springtime rebirth for Mickelson ... and you have Tiger wondering where he fits in at this party" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 5/3). FanHouse.com's Jay Mariotti said, "We're waiting for youngsters to emerge with Woods struggling. Now we've got a couple of them doing that this week" ("Around The Horn," ESPN, 5/3).
A CHANGING OF THE GUARD? ESPN's Michael Wilbon said fans are "looking at a much greater chance of having a changing of the guard" in the sport with the performances of players like McIlroy, Kim and Ishikawa. Wilbon: "There seems to be something dynamic, particularly about McIlroy and Kim" ("PTI," ESPN, 5/3). In London, Derek Lawrenson writes, "At this, the dawning of a new era, the man in front is McIlory. ... If you've been looking for a reason to fall in love with golf, McIlroy is it." McIlroy, Ishikawa and Manassero are "three genuinely nice kids, all blessed with wondrous gifts," and "suddenly, the winter of scandal seems a blessedly long time ago" (London DAILY MAIL, 5/4). Meanwhile, Golf Channel's Rich Lerner said of McIlroy's final-round performance at the Quail Hollow Championship, "This had to be a little bit like LeBron James in his second year going off for 55 points, where you stop and say, 'My goodness, this guy has a lot of game. Serious game.' One of the best final rounds outside of a major championship in the history of this sport" ("Golf Central," Golf Channel, 5/3).
|Japan Golf Tour Exec Says Ishikawa Has
Saved Tour From Financial Ruin
SHOOTING STAR: Japan Golf Tour Exec Dir Andy Yamanaka said that Ishikawa, whose win Sunday was his seventh on the tour, "has saved Japan's struggling JGTO men's golf tour from financial ruin." Yamanaka: "It's fair to say (he rescued the JGTO Tour). Before he appeared, people were losing interest in men's golf. The men's tour at that time didn't have a star player like Ryo Ishikawa. Players were rude to fans and didn't turn up to official functions. Their behaviour wasn't professional. Ryo woke up a lot of the players." Yamanaka said of Ishikawa's financial impact, "I couldn't estimate the figures. Because of his presence there is more income for sponsors and better ticket sales of course. ... You have no idea how many women and kids come to watch. Not just young ladies but mothers who want their kids to be like Ryo Ishikawa." Meanwhile, REUTERS' Alastair Himmer wrote "losing their cash cow to more lucrative overseas tours remains a constant fear for JGTO officials." Yamanaka: "He's got 19 endorsements and more than 12 or 13 TV commercials. We worry about the future -- him going to the U.S. or Europe and imagine if that happens what would our tour become?" (REUTERS, 5/3).

wikiHow to Make Spicy Chicken Alfredo
Two Parts:Cooking the Chicken and PastaMaking the SauceCommunity Q&A
Spicy chicken Alfredo is an easy pasta dish. If you like a little kick to your Alfredo sauce this is the perfect recipe. It takes about 40 minutes to make, but it will be worth it.
- Box of fettuccine noodles
- 4 quarts of water
- 1 whole chicken breast
- Salt and pepper
- 1-3 cloves of garlic
- 4-6 oz. of shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 Tablespoons of butter
- 1 can of evaporated milk
- Cayenne, Cajun, and crushed red pepper seasoning
- 3 tablespoons of oil
- 1.5 tablespoon of flour
- Milk (optional)
Part 1
Cooking the Chicken and Pasta
1Slice the chicken breast. Vertically slice the chicken breast so all of it can fit in a large skillet. Cutting the chicken breast helps to ensure the chicken is cooked all the way through.
2Season the chicken with the salt and pepper. This will add a little more flavor to each bite.
- You can use any seasoning you want to the chicken.
3Put the 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. Turn on the stove between medium and high heat. Let the oil get hot before you add your chicken.
4Cook the chicken. It should take about 10-12 minutes for the chicken to cook, depending on its size.
- You can also add water to the skillet to stop the chicken from getting crispy.
5While the chicken is cooking, boil the water. Put the 4 quarts of water in a large pot and turn the stove between medium and high heat. Wait until the water is bubbling.
6Mince the garlic. Remove the layers of papery skin. Cut the garlic vertically and horizontally. How much you use is up to you, but 2 or 3 cloves is recommended.
7Add the noodles to the water. It should take about 10-14 minutes to cook the noodles, depending on how firm you like your pasta.
8While the noodles are cooking, cut the chicken. You can cut the chicken however you want; if in doubt, try squares about the size of a chicken bouillon cube.
Part 2
Making the Sauce
1Put the same skillet you used before on the heat again. Let the butter melt; then add the garlic.
2Cook the garlic until it softens. This should take about a minute or so.
3Add the floor and evaporated milk. Add the floor and evaporated milk to make to Alfredo sauce thick.
4Add the parmesan cheese. Wait until the evaporated milk started making little bubbles. Stir thoroughly to make sure there aren't any bumps or clumps.
5Add the seasoning. Start with salt and pepper but not too much because you'll use other seasoning too. Use about 1 teaspoon of cayenne, 3 teaspoons of Cajun, and a few shakes of the red crushed peppers.
- If you want just a little kick, do not use those measurements; start with less.
6Drain the noodles and put them in the sauce. Stir to make sure the sauce is spread evenly.
7Add the chicken to the noodles and Alfredo sauce. You can either stir the chicken in or just leave it on top. Enjoy!

IMMOKALEE, Fla., July 18 (UPI) -- Authorities in Florida said an intoxicated woman who crashed a sport-utility vehicle into a tree was allegedly trying to hit her ex-boyfriend.
Collier County Sheriff's deputies said investigators responded to a call from the Immokalee neighborhood around 2:15 a.m. Tuesday and saw Veronica Doctor, 45, walking away from the driver's side of the vehicle and appearing to have trouble balancing, WINK-TV, Fort Myers, Fla., reported Thursday.
Deputies said Doctor smelled strongly of alcohol and refused to speak to them.
A friend in the passenger's seat of the black GMC SUV told deputies Doctor had driven to her ex-boyfriend's house, where the former couple argued.
The ex-boyfriend was contacted and told deputies Doctor started driving in circles in his front yard when he refused to answer the door around 2 a.m. and he went out to confront her about being drunk.
The man said he attempted to walk away at the end of the argument and she chased him with the vehicle. He said Doctor struck the tree while attempting to run him down.
Doctor's blood alcohol content was measured at .259 at a local hospital, well over the legal limit of .08.
Doctor was charged with aggravated assault and driving under the influence.

By CRAIG MURPHY
Of the Keizertimes
Saturday marks the two-year anniversary of a Keizer murder.
The Zielinski murder saga could be drawing to a close soon, as a trial is expected to take place in mid-March.
Peter John Zielinski has been charged with murder with firearm for the Jan. 12, 2011 killing of his wife, Lisa Zielinski.
Peter's attorneys entered a not guilty plea based on extreme emotional disturbance in the fall of 2011.
In late 2011, a jury trial was scheduled for May 2012, but that was pushed back. Last June, a trial for this March was scheduled.
Doug Hanson, a Marion County deputy district attorney handling the case, noted there is a pre-trial conference in late January, an informal meeting in the judge's chambers to make sure both sides are ready for trial.
Jury selection is scheduled to start Friday, March 15 with a weeklong trial set to begin Monday, March 18.
"We are ready to go," said Hanson, who feels he has a strong case.
Jon Weiner, Peter Zielinski's attorney, did not return calls for comment.
Since the trial was scheduled to go before Marion County Circuit Court judge Dale Penn last summer, there have been few developments. In August the prosecution filed a motion to exclude defense expert testimony from William Brown. An order granting that motion was approved in late September.
"We've had all the pre-trial motions," Hanson said. "They are all completed at this point. I anticipate it will go to trial."
Hanson noted the difficulties for families when trials come so long after an incident.
"In all types of cases like this, it's difficult for family members to cope with the loss and also to have to go out so far to trial," he said. "Going to trial will bring everything back. I think they have been doing well. They have been able to grieve."
Lisa Zielinski, 38, was fatally shot in the couple's home on Nightingale Court NE in Keizer.
She worked in sales and public relations at KYKN-AM radio in Keizer, sang in the church choir at St. Edward Catholic Church and was a greeter for the Keizer Chamber of Commerce.
A probable cause statement released after Peter's arrest stated he shot his wife, believing she was having an affair. Police said he came to the Keizer Civic Center shortly after, calling 911 to inform dispatchers his wife needed an ambulance.

I am incredibly grateful whenever anyone sends a card, or gives a gift to my Daughter. It's so touching that they are taking the time to treat her. And I love giving presents to all the little people in my lives. But in the spirit of "living with less", I have been thinking about Minimalism, and how it's antithesis or at least it's nemesis is probably Children's Birthday parties! Do you ever find yourself stuck for choosing a present for a Child? Especially when you know the Parents share similar thoughts to you; their house is already crammed full of toys. And chances are, if they have older siblings, they really don't need any more clothes of books. You might not be working towards a slower, more minimalist lifestyle, simply your house feels too full already! You know you don't much like the idea of any more "stuff" in the house, and a lot of households probably feel the same.
Sure there might be a couple of people in your life you're close enough to to call a 'truce' on gifts, at least before the Children are old enough to notice. However, here are a few ideas I've come up with as alternatives to more plastic! Many are free, personal, and will create meaningful memories.
Name labels- especially once they have started at Nursery or school. These ones from tinyme survive multiple runs in the dishwasher and come in all sorted of shapes and designs.
Some seeds for the garden. They will love digging holes and planting them (or in a window box if they don't have a garden). Something as simple as cress can be great fun, as it grows so quickly. For older Children tomatoes, or something simple to grow and nurture, -plus one which offers a delicious reward at the end.
Blank thank you cards like these from Amazon are a great idea. They will keep the kids entertained, and who doesn't love a personalised card through the post. I used these for my daughter when she wasn't yet two, and everyone who received them really loved them.
Bath Bombs-they smell delicious, and make bath time even more fun. Plus once they're gone they're gone! My daughter loves hopping in and watching them fizz. Lush do some spectacular ranges of colours and scents. or here's a recipe to make your own
Set up a Mud Kitchen for them in their back garden. An old wooden spoon, a discarded bowl or piece of tupperware, and baking trays or pans can quickly make an empty corner of the garden into hours of imaginative play.
Another idea for the garden is a Fairy Garden, perhaps with some magical tea cups, a little stone pathway, and some glitter trails?
Although there are a range of great apps out there for free Children's entertainment, signing them up to an educational app, or an Itunes voucher could be a great option for a slightly older child.
Cake them something, homemade is always tastier, all kids (and adults) know that. You could print custom labels off with their names and date of birth on for an extra personal touch.
You can make photo collages using apps such as Flipagram, these take a bit of time and effort collating the photos but will be lovely for the whole family to enjoy watching.
Make them a video, especially useful if you don't live close by. It could contain reading stories, singing to them, puppets! Let your creativity and wanabe kids TV presenter run riot.
Or if you're a little camera shy, draw them a picture story, write them a short story which incorporates them into the plot. Something they can treasure forever.
A voucher for a local activity, in the past i have organised soft play vouchers, pick your own vouchers, and entry to the local Zoo.
An annual pass is another lovely idea. Places such as RHS Wisley, the National Trust, or Painshill Park provide a years worth of memory building.
organise a treasure hunt, you can use treats along the way, or create challenges for older children-perhaps it could lead to their birthday cake even?
Similarly a voucher for a family friendly Restaurant is a nice idea for a treat the whole family can enjoy.
A babysitting voucher, either offering yourself up, or a professional, bound to be a hit with the parents more than any loud lurid piece of plastic!
Your time, take them out for the day for a treat, it can be something like the Theatre or Go Ape, Afternoon at a play centre or a simple picnic in the park. Just spend an afternoon letting them choose which games you play. Children enjoy your time and energy more than anything you can purchase.

UPDATE 7/23 Yellowstone National Park officials have released the name of the Montana man who died after losing his footing while fishing in the Yellowstone River. Ernest Trim of Ennis, Mont. died July 17.
A 73 year-old man from southwest Montana died Wednesday in Yellowstone National Park after losing his footing while fishing.
According to a media release from Yellowstone National Park, the man was fishing in the Yellowstone River, near the Nez Perce picnic ground in the Mud Volcano area, when witnesses say he lost his footing in chest-deep water while attempting to cross the river. He was carried approximately 200 yards downstream in the swift current.
Another visitor ran downstream and pulled the unconscious man ashore and initiated CPR in an attempt to save his live. Park rangers and medical staff were notified and responded, but they were unable to revive the victim.
The cause of death remains under investigation, and the victim's name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

A Saudi cleric who raped his five-year-old daughter and tortured her to death has been sentenced to pay "blood money" to the mother after having served a short jail term, activists have said.
Fayhan al-Ghamdi, an Islamic cleric and regular guest on Islamic television networks, confessed to having used cables and a cane to inflict the injuries, activists from the group Women to Drive said in a statement on Saturday.
The rest of the article is too horrible for words. Saudi Arabia needs regime change if anywhere needs it.

Starr "Suborning Perjury;" Conspirator Scaife; Special Monicagate NQ
1) A weekend of Starr bashing. ABC used Susan McDougal to suggest "Starr's tactics border on abuse." Eleanor Clift claimed Starr is "the one who is suborning perjury;" Al Hunt compared Starr to OJ Simpson. And CBS profiled the conspirator-in-chief: Richard Scaife.
2) Everyone's sex life is not equally sacrosanct: Walsh probed Weinberger's but that didn't bother the media.
3) The February 9 edition of Notable Quotables: a special Monicagate edition -- Six Years of Clinton Adulation; Ten Days of Guilty Consternation.
On Fox News Sunday yesterday Brit Hume observed: "The remarkable thing about this whole leaks business is it's gotten pretty straight-faced coverage from a lot of reporters, none of whom believe this is about leaks..."
They may not believe it, but as Hume has noticed, they are playing along with the White House game plan. Friday's revelation about how Betty Currie took control of the gifts given to Monica Lewinsky by President Clinton raised a real possibility of obstruction of justice, but over the weekend instead of exploring that issue the networks examined Ken Starr. (The February 7 CyberAlert detailed how the White House distraction strategy worked Friday night.)
Some brief quotes to give you a flavor network coverage, followed by fresh attacks on Starr from Al Hunt and Eleanor Clift:
-- The tease at the top of Saturday's (February 7) NBC Nightly News:
Anchor Brian Williams: "The war of words over leaks in the White House crisis. Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's office stands accused."
Starr: "We'll look into those charges."
John Palmer's subsequent story focused on the latest criticism from William Ginsburg of Starr's office.
-- ABC's World News Tonight on Saturday also honed in on Starr and Ginsburg, as Michel McQueen relayed the opinion of a convicted felon as valid criticism of Starr. She concluded her story:
"Ginsburg told ABC News he is not coordinating with ABC's lawyers, but he is not the only one to complain that Starr's tactics border on abuse. Whitewater figure Susan McDougal has long maintained that she's in jail on contempt charges only because she won't invent facts to fit Starr's story. The question now is whether Starr's tactics will prove more offensive to the courts and the public than any alleged wrongdoing by the President that Starr is investigating."
-- Sunday night, of the broadcast network evening shows, only ABC's World News Tonight led with Newsweek's story that another White House staffer has heard messages Clinton left for Lewinsky.
The February 8 CBS Evening News didn't even mention the Newsweek discovery, but the network had time for a full story on a more pressing concern. Anchor John Roberts intoned:
"It was Hillary Rodham Clinton who first charged a right-wing conspiracy is out to get her husband. When asked who the main conspirator is, the President's supporters keep coming up with one name in particular. Rita Braver tells us about the mystery man on the right."
The mystery man: Richard Scaife.
Just as on Saturday, Sunday NBC's Nightly News highlighted attacks on Starr. Here's the top of the show tease:
Anchor Len Cannon: "The President's popularity continues to climb while new leaks raise more questions about this crisis and about the special counsel who is running the investigation."
Paul Begala on Meet the Press: "Ken Starr has become corrupt in the sense Lord Acton meant when he said absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Reporter John Palmer looked at the controversy over leaks from Starr and how Sunday brought more calls from Democrats for an investigation of him. Deep into the story Palmer did take a few seconds to relay the basics of the breaking Newsweek report, but before that he cited some NBC News poll numbers. First, that even if the allegations are true most don't think the President should resign. Second, asked about Starr's investigation, 64 percent said it's "partisan and political" while only 22 percent characterized it as "fair and impartial."
Hard to where they got that idea.
-- Wall Street Journal's Al Hunt on CNN's Capital Gang on Saturday night: "For Ken Starr to say he's going to investigate the leaks is as believable as OJ Simpson looking for the real killer."
-- Newsweek's Eleanor Clift on the McLaughlin Group: "What Starr is doing is trying to construct the truth according to Ken Starr and according to Miss Lewinsky's lawyer he's reneging on his offer of immunity because she's not saying what he wants and what he's doing is trying to get people to say what he wants. He's the one who is suborning perjury here in my view. He has gone way beyond the pale in term of his treatment of witnesses."
One line of complaint against Starr focuses on how he has supposedly had an improper interest in Clinton's sex life, but the media didn't care when Lawrence Walsh looked into the sex life of a prominent conservative.
Last year when the Washington Post revealed his questioning of Arkansans about with whom Clinton had relationships, in an effort to learn with whom he may have confided information, much of the media were quick to condemn the technique. Matt Lauer opened a June 26 Today interview of Jones adviser Susan Carpenter-McMillan with this question right out of the White House playbook:
"The fact that this line of questioning from Whitewater
investigators has turned personal to the President's, or then
Governor's sex life, does it show you that this investigation is
Last week MRC news analyst Steve Kaminski reminded me of a paragraph from a back issue of the MRC's MediaWatch newsletter which demonstrates the media's hypocrisy. The front page article in the January 1993 issue reviewed negative coverage of Bush's pardon of Casper Weinberger. The last paragraph:
"Evans and Novak reported that former Pentagon spokesman Henry Catto said James Brosnahan, the attorney prosecuting Weinberger for Walsh, asked him whether Weinberger had an extramarital affair. Catto believed Walsh wished to 'denigrate Weinberger's character' before a jury, but the networks ignored this story of improper conduct."
The Monicagate Edition of Notable Quotables, a special four-page issue we put together last Thursday and which mailed on Friday.
At least half of the 33 quotes have not appeared yet in a CyberAlert, including most of the historical quotes from 1992 and 1994. The issue takes you through ten media phases, from promoting Clinton in 1992 to promoting the idea of a right-wing conspiracy in 1998, with phases in between for disparaging Paula Jones, portraying the Clintons as icons of family values and regretting how much coverage they allocated to the Lewinsky affair. MRC analysts Gene Eliasen and Steve Kaminski caught the new Time and Newsweek quotes cited in phases nine and ten and MRC research associate Kristina Sewell hunted through back issue to find the old quotes.
I realize this is quite lengthy, but it only makes sense to send the whole issue at once. -- Brent Baker

Nolberto Delgadillo
Chief Operating Officer
LA Promise Fund
Sitting in a room with people who are as passionate about education as you are, that motivates you. It's incredibly fulfilling to use my skills to make an impact for students.
Growing up in an immigrant family in Southern California, Nolberto Delgadillo learned early on what it was like to be underestimated. "I really wasn't sure what it meant to succeed," he said. "But I knew that I wanted to prove people wrong about what it meant to be from Compton."
Experiencing the sting of prejudice instilled in Nolberto a desire to rise above stereotypes. His parents encouraged him to work hard, regularly reminding him why they left Mexico. Nolberto recalls his parents saying, "We came to this country to give you opportunities, so you have to take advantage of them. You need to go be a doctor, an attorney, a rocket scientist. Go be something."
So he did. Nolberto was accepted into a highly competitive STEM magnet and began taking college courses as a high school junior. After earning an M.B.A., he embarked on a career in biotechnology and healthcare. With nearly a decade in management under his belt, he felt fortunate to have "a good paying job, traveling around the country, seeing different places… but I just felt something was missing."
He always knew he wanted to help improve opportunities for others, so Nolberto began mentoring first-generation students at his old high school. It was during this time that he first heard about The Broad Residency. "To work in education, I thought you had to be a teacher or principal," he said. "As I did more research into the Residency, I found a whole world of opportunities for people with my skill sets who are passionate about education."
During his Residency, Nolberto was a cluster business manager with Green Dot Public Schools in Los Angeles. He took on many non-instructional duties that principals had traditionally managed, freeing them up to focus on academics and instruction. As he revamped operations and budgeting in six schools, significantly more dollars were being driven into the classroom. At the same time, he coached his principals to effectively use data to make budgetary decisions, empowering them to identify and expand programs that were working for their teachers and students.
Nolberto now serves as chief operating officer for LA Promise Fund, an organization that aims to improve student outcomes and college going in Los Angeles Unified School District while offering a host of resources and services for students and their families. Their results have been, well, promising. Across two high schools and a middle school, instructional days lost to suspensions have decreased by 90 percent or more and student achievement has risen steadily. LA Promise fund has recently established a middle school of their own and plans to open a high school in 2017.
For Nolberto, the ultimate beneficiaries of his work inspire him to push for better. "What you're doing is impacting kids," he said. "You're not the teacher, but you're creating bandwidth for a teacher or a principal. You're creating strategic direction for a school. You're having immediate, tangible impact. That's big for your stakeholders."
The Broad Residency
Class of 2012-2014
Residency Role: Cluster business manager, Green Dot Public Schools, Los Angeles
M.B.A., Loyola Marymount University College of Business Administration
B.A., chemistry and Spanish, University of Southern California

The IP Address and Classes
IP addressing is based on the concept of hosts and networks. A host is essentially anything on the network that is capable of receiving and transmitting IP packets on the network, such as a workstation or a router. It is not to be confused with a server: servers and client workstations are all IP hosts.
The hosts are connected together by one or more networks. The IP address of any host consists of its network address plus its own host address on the network. IP addressing, unlike, say, IPX addressing, uses one address containing both network and host address. How much of the address is used for the network portion and how much for the host portion varies from network to network.
IP addressing
An IP address is 32 bits wide, and as discussed, it is composed of two parts: the network number, and the host number [1, 2, 3]. By convention, it is expressed as four decimal numbers separated by periods, such as "22.214.171.124" representing the decimal value of each of the four bytes. Valid addresses thus range from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255, a total of about 4.3 billion addresses. The first few bits of the address indicate the Class that the address belongs to:
The bits are labeled in network order, so that the first bit is bit 0 and the last is bit 31, reading from left to right. Class D addresses are multicast, and Class E are reserved. The range of network numbers and host numbers may then be derived:
Any address starting with 127 is a loop back address and should never be used for addressing outside the host. A host number of all binary 1's indicates a directed broadcast over the specific network. For example, 18.104.22.168 would indicate a broadcast over the 200.1.2 network. If the host number is 0, it indicates "this host". If the network number is 0, it indicates "this network" [2]. All the reserved bits and reserved addresses severely reduce the available IP addresses from the 4.3 billion theoretical maximum. Most users connected to the Internet will be assigned addresses within Class C, as space is becoming very limited. This is the primary reason for the development of IPv6, which will have 128 bits of address space.
Importance of C class IP in SEO?
Search engines don't prefer back links from the same IP addresses .Many new smaller novice hosts firms only mange one single or very few C-classes and therefore makes it difficult to get multiple IPs in different C-classes if you host all your sites the same place. Larger hosts have many C-classes (I believe some even have almost full B-classes but unless you specifically request your various sites to be on different C-class IPs you still could end up on the same. It's usually not something hosts care about (in relation to SEO and linking).Many webmasters started creating hundreds of website on same server and linked each other to increase the sites backlink and google page ranking.
Latest Search Engines like google identified this issue and started avoiding links coming from similar IPs - given its easy to get different D class ips on same server, Search Engines also started avoiding Links from same C Class IP. So whenever any good search engine see that you've a link coming from same C Class IP on which your website is located, the backlink will not have any importance oe little importance. Keep in mind that you'll not get penalized if you've link coming from same C class IP, but you'll not get any advantage either.
But Search Engine filters penalize your website if they are:
- Hosting websites on I.P addresses in the same C Class
- Similar nameservers for websites
- Similar WhoIs information for websites
- Similar rDNS domain for websites
So if you are doing the link exchange specially if you don't have your own server, do check if the person you are linking to has a different C class ip than yours.Multiple C Class IP hosting gives a better back linking solution.
SEO Hosting a new idea ; is all about providing different class C IP address and enable webmasters to host their websites and blogs from separate nameserver on separate class C IP addresses. Multiple class C IPs can really push SEO score of a website to a large extent. Class C IP technique works great enough that there is no scope of its failure.

For six years, Rosie Lopez worked as a food manager for an assisted-living center before she was let go in January.
Lopez, a single parent with a young daughter to support, was able to find temporary employment through St. Patrick Community Services, a ministry of St. Patrick Church in Carlsbad.
Then there's Guillermina "Gigi" Reynaga, a 62-year-old live-in caretaker and member of St. Patrick Church who found herself out of a job and a home when the economy dictated household cuts.
She, too, found work opportunities through a new effort by the church to bring congregants together to share hardship and resources.
Though churches have a long tradition of establishing social ministries that feed the hungry and help the poor, a depressed economy has changed the landscape of charitable giving.
The food drives and outreach programs of the past don't begin to address those facing foreclosure, job loss, a depletion of retirement savings and a lack of health insurance.
"The churches are overwhelmed," said Peter Hasapopoulos, executive director of Faith Works, a nonprofit, faith-based, community organizing agency in Escondido.
"Part of my job is to ask, 'Are you thinking strategically?' There has been an onslaught, but it's a ripe environment to think about why we do systemic change in the first place."
Faith Works represents 11 North County congregations of various denominations and is an affiliate of People Improving Communities Through Organizing, a national network of 53 faith-based organizations that conduct grass-roots leadership development in 17 states.
Volunteer leaders from Faith Works meet with local and national politicians to advise them of community needs and suggest policy changes.
Every other month, Faith Works also hosts a "clergy caucus" at St. James Catholic Church in Solana Beach.
When members of the clergy met with Hasapopoulos in March, the conversation soon turned to the impact of the economy.
North County pastors discussed the isolation many parishioners feel because they are either separated from family or ashamed of their circumstances. They brainstormed for ways to "unlock the power of the congregation."
Hasapopoulos told them that power is a product of relationships.
The Rev. William Rowland, known at St. Patrick Church as "Father Bill," took that advice to heart. He returned to his parish and distributed a survey at the next Sunday Mass. Parishioners were asked to indicate an area of need or a desire to assist others. Then they were invited to discuss the outcome at a meeting in the parish hall the next day.
St. Patrick Church staff members counted 406 surveys in which 222 parishioners said they were hurt by the economy and 130 said they wanted to help others.
When nearly 150 people attended the parish hall meeting, everyone, including Rowland, was shocked.
"When you respond to the needs of others, you feel empowered," said Rosanna Madrid, director of St. Patrick Community Services for the past nine years.
"But I didn't think that so many would show up. I was surprised that people were willing to get out of their comfort zone and say, 'Hey, this is happening to me,' 'I've lost my job' or, 'I'm in the process of losing my home.' "
At the meeting, pamphlets listing many North County employment agencies and assistance programs were available. Hasapopoulos and a representative from Escondido-based nonprofit Interfaith Community Services spoke to the crowd.
Strangers reached out to other strangers.
Rowland said the gathering emphasized that the recession is hitting not only the poor, but also the normally cushioned middle class.
"We are all in pain," he said. "This embodies everyone, from congregations in Rancho Santa Fe to Oceanside."
Madrid said the outreach brought some quick results.
A parishioner who lost health insurance and couldn't get eyeglasses for her children met the wife of an optometrist, who invited her to bring the youngsters to the office for an exam. A retired school principal introduced himself to an out-of-work teacher and shared employment connections.
Madrid deterred one couple from participating in a real estate scam with resources through Faith Works, and she helped Lopez and Reynaga find temporary jobs.
At the St. Patrick Church meeting, Hasapopoulos reminded parishioners that the Obama administration's federal stimulus package will bring millions of dollars into the community.
Recently, he accompanied a group of Faith Works leaders and more than 250 clergy and laypeople to a Faith and Families Summit on Economic Recovery in Washington, D.C.
On a local level, Hasapopoulos and St. Patrick Church volunteers will meet with city officials to discuss how federal dollars might work effectively in North County, from housing to employment opportunities.
"I teach social change through civic engagement," Hasapopoulos said. "We like to say our model is value-based rather than issue-based. If we don't initiate relationships, people suffer alone."

You may have already had a swallowing test with a speech-language pathologist, also called an SLP. During this test you may have tried different foods and liquids. The SLP may have checked how well you can move the muscles of your mouth and how clearly you talk.
Sometimes the SLP needs even more information about how you swallow. You may need another swallowing test - this time in the radiology, or x-ray, department.
You may hear different names for this test. What it is called depends on your SLP and the place where you have the test done.
Some names you might hear are:
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) uses the term videofluoroscopic swallowing study, or VFSS.
When you have a swallowing test in the SLP's office or in your hospital room, the SLP can't see what is happening inside your mouth and throat. The VFSS lets the SLP see:
Babies and young children can also have this test done. Your SLP can tell you more about what to expect for your child.
This study is done in the radiology, or x-ray, department. You will meet the SLP there. There may also be a doctor there, called a radiologist. A radiology technician will be there to help you get ready and set up the equipment.
You will sit or stand next to an x-ray machine. Your SLP will give you different foods and drinks mixed with barium. The barium makes the food and liquid show up on the x-ray. Barium is not harmful and won't stay in your body for too long. The x-ray machine is only turned on while you swallow so you don't get too much radiation.
The SLP will ask you to do different things during the test. You may try soft foods and hard foods, and thin liquids and thick liquids. You may take small amounts and large amounts. You may be asked to move your head in different positions. You may also try things like swallowing hard. The test may be recorded so it can be watched again later.
If your child is having a VFSS, you may be asked to hold him in your lap. You will be given protection from x-rays, like lead vests and cover ups. You may feed your baby from a bottle if that is how he eats. Barium is not dangerous for babies or young children. You may see it in the baby's diaper for a few days after the study.
You should not have this test done if you think you may be pregnant. It is not safe to have x-rays while pregnant.
Your SLP and doctor will talk about what they saw during the study. You and your family will be told the results. The SLP may show you the video of the test so you can see what happens yourself. Your SLP will use the test results to decide what treatment will help your swallowing. You and the SLP will discuss what foods and liquids are safest, and how to eat them. You may start swallowing therapy soon after the study.
Video examples of VFSS

Dogz 5 is a LOT better then ALL of the other virtual pet games I know because

- Your pets can have puppies or kittens
- There are downloadable breeds
- When your pets have kittens or puppies, lets say you had a persion and a main coon cat. You'd get a mixed breed cat, with unique genetics from the persion and main coon
- Each dog and cat has a unique personality
- You can create your own places for… Read Full Review

Is that bike safe?
"If your bike's been in storage or you just haven't used it for awhile you need to make sure it's safe to ride" says AvantiPlus Technical Training manager Chris Wooloff. Here's a quick mechanical safety check which you should use once you've cleared the cobwebs away. And you should get in the habit of making it every time you're about to get on your bike.
Nuts, Bolts & Straps:
Lift the front wheel off the ground by about 10cm, then let it bounce on the ground. Does anything sound, feel or look loose?
Do a quick visual and tactile inspection of the whole bike. Are there any loose parts or accessories? If so, secure them. If you're not sure, ask someone with experience to check.
Tyres & Wheels:
Are your tyres correctly inflated? Check by putting one hand on the saddle, one on the intersection of the handlebars and stem, then bouncing your weight on the bike while looking at tyre deflection. Compare what you see with how it looks when you know the tyres are correctly inflated, and adjust if necessary.
Are your tyres in good shape? Spin each wheel slowly and look for cuts in the tread and side wall. Replace damaged tyres before riding the bike.
Are your wheels true? Spin each wheel and check for brake clearance and side-to-side wobble. If a wheel wobbles side-to-side or hits the brake pads, take the bike to an AvantiPlus dealer to have the wheel trued.
Wheels must be true for the brakes to work effectively. Wheel truing is a skill which requires special tools and experience. Do not attempt to true a wheel unless you have the knowledge and tools needed to do the job correctly.
Squeeze the brake levers. Are the brake quick releases closed? Is the straddle cable securely engaged?
Are the brake shoes contacting the wheel rim within 25mm of brake lever movement? Can you apply full braking force at the levers without having them touch the handlebar? If not, your brakes need adjustment.
Riding with improperly adjusted brakes or worn brake shoes is dangerous and can result in serious injury.
Quick Releases:
Are the front wheel, rear wheel and seat post quick releases properly adjusted and in the locked position?
Riding with an improperly adjusted wheel quick release can cause the wheel to wobble or disengage from the bike, which can cause damage to the bike and serious injury.
Handlebar and saddle alignment:
Are the saddle and handlebar stem correctly installed, parallel to the bikes top tube and tight enough so you can't twist them out of alignment?
Handlebar ends:
• Are the handlebar grips secure and in good condition? If not, replace them.
• Are the handlebar ends and extensions (if you have them) plugged and tightened? If not, plug and tighten them before you ride.
Loose or damaged handlebar grips or extensions can cause you to lose control and fall. Unplugged handlebars or extensions can act like a cookie cutter on your body, and can cause serious injury in an otherwise minor accident.
Clean and lube it:
And after being in storage you bike will have accumulated dust and, possibly, cobwebs so a good clean with soapy water and a soft brush will make it all nice and shiny. It will make you feel more motivated to get out and ride too. Remember also to lubricate the chain after cleaning too.
Your AvantiPlus dealer can help:
If you're not feeling confident in the state of your bike bring it into your nearest AvantiPlus dealer. We're always happy to help you get out cycling safely.

Congrate for the forum back again. I have waiting for a long time already. thank.
I have a question about editing detailed view gallery. I need to remove the description of gallery and add "posting date", "category" and "link website". How to do this ?
This is the sample image that i would like to have this lookJuly 19, 2010 at 8:53 am #29785
in almost every template file used there is a loop exactly like the one in index.php, you will need to edit them one by one. I will describe what to do based on the index.php file.
In line 65 of index.php you can find the function call the_excerpt(); remove it to get rid of the small sample description and instead add the following template tags:
This will display the category:
the_category(', ');
To display the post date use
the_time('F j, Y');
the external url is stored in a variable called $external
You could utilize it that way:July 20, 2010 at 8:09 am #29786
thank, kriesi.
but i have another question about this
1) how to add in "Category:" for category name and the link name should look like "Link:http://danielcollins.com"
(current setting is look like this > http://yfrog.com/n5screenshot20100720atpm0p )
2) separate category, date and link in 3 different sentence like attachment image below
(i want it to be look like this > http://yfrog.com/nbimagethatiwantp )
below is the code i add inJuly 20, 2010 at 10:38 am #29787
wrap each of the statements into span tags, for example like this:
echo "";
the_time('F j, Y');
echo "";
and style this with the help of css: (just append it to style.css)
To style the category output refer to this page, there are several examples:
to display the link different i would recommend to enter the whole link into the link field. with www.display.me and then use the external variable by only writting:
echo $external;
Please be aware that this will change, and maybe interfere with the output of the other display options (small and big) but to circumvent this you would need to change a lot of code, probably more than I could write down here) To keep this intact as well it would maybe be better to hire someone with extensive wordpress and php knowledge ;)July 20, 2010 at 10:52 am #29788
Well you post it first heheJuly 21, 2010 at 6:09 am #29789
hi, i add this in my index.php
echo "";
echo the_category(' ');
echo "";
echo "";
the_time('F j, Y');
echo "";
echo "";
echo $external;
echo "";
then add the following code in "External Link" under Additional Gallery Options
danielcollinsdesign.com
the effect show this
there is no link for the address link and something wrong with the coding
How to make the link look like this below
Link : danielcollsdesign.com
the link of the name is without http://wwwJuly 21, 2010 at 11:21 am #29790
if i add
in "External Link" under Additional Gallery Options, the link name show correctly but it cannot link to other websiteJuly 21, 2010 at 12:11 pm #29791
hm, ok I think to get everything as you like, it would cost a lot more time and resource then. thought it would work that way but it seems you would need to add new custom fields an get the value of those fields to be displayed and used in the frontend. This is maybe an hour of work for a seasoned wordpress author but more than I can put in a short description inte the forum.
you might want to check this thread and get help for this job, if you dont know how to use and utilize custom fields.
