The Insulin that is commonly used now is human insulin. Human insulin is produced by recombinant DNA technology. It comes in vials of 40 units per ml and 100 units per ml. Short acting insulin does not contain zinc and an example is Human Actrapid insulin. Longer acting insulins contains zinc or protamine. Examples are Human Monotard insulin (with zinc) and Human Insulatard insulin (with protamine).
There are ready mixed combinations of short and long acting insulins in various fixed proportions. These are called biphasic insulins. Examples are Mixtard insulin 30:70, Mixtard insulin 50:50, and Humulin 30:70. The ratio refers to the proportion of short acting and long acting insulin respectively in the solution.
Biphasic insulins must always be given before food because they have a short acting component (prandial insulin) in them.
Long acting insulins, including biphasic insulins, should NEVER be given before lunch because of the risk of hypoglycemia during sleep. The peak action of long acting insulins like Monotard Insulin will occur around 8 to 10 hours after injection and their effect can last for 18 hours or more.
Insulin analogues are different from human insulins in their pharmacokinetics. They are produced by techniques in genetic engineering that alter their amino acid structure. They are also called insulin receptor ligands. The advantage of these insulin analogues is that they have a lesser tendency to produce hypoglycemia. Examples of long acting insulin analogues are Glargine and Detemir while the short acting ones are Lispro and Aspart.

Hungarian GP 2010
Practice 3 Report - Webber sets scorching Hungaroring pace
Mark Webber (1:19.574) set the fastest time in the final session of free practice ahead of qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix.
The Australian, the only man to have won three times in 2010, was half a second down on Red Bull team mate Sebastian Vettel on Friday, when many drivers reported feeling more understeer on Bridgestone's super soft tyre.
Bridgestone's Hirohide Hamashima explained: "How much teams are affected by the option tyre depends on front wing set-up. For example, between Vettel and Webber, Webber mistook the set-up of the front wing and felt big understeer, which is why his best lap time was much slower than Vettel, but maybe he could adjust the set-up. Everyone felt a bit more understeer with the supersoft."
Webber, who found a full second from his Friday best, looks like he has found a set-up he is happy with as the Red Bulls continued to dominate. Vettel was second fastest with 1:20.058.
Fernando Alonso (1:20.724) was more than a second from Webber's pace but still Red Bull's closest challenger, while Robert Kubica set fourth quickest time for Renault (1:21.066). Felipe Massa (1:21.264) produced a lap that was good enough for fifth fastest but remains half a second shy of Ferrari team mate Alonso.
Lewis Hamilton (1:20.376) put the first McLaren sixth, with Martin Whitmarsh stressing that in what looks as if it could be a tough race for the team, an error free race day picking up maximum number of points is the target.
Vitaly Petrov (1:21.399) continues to do a strong job in the second Renault at a circuit he knows well, while Nico Rosberg's Mercedes (1:21.422) just pipped Jenson Button's McLaren (1:21.473) to eighth place and Nico Hulkenberg's Williams (1:21.533) completed the top 10, a couple of tenths in front of team mate Rubens Barrichello (1:21.705).

Review-Aeons Black is heavy as fuck and bleeds metal riffs and is clearly going to kick the listener's ass with its fury and just pure hatred. This is the album death metal needs in 2012, and every fan needs to put in their collection. Aeon if you are not familiar with what their sound is it is traditional death metal with tempo changes throughout that go from slow riffs and a haunting start on certain songs that get heavy to a furious almost breakneck pace start that gets more and more breakneck as it goes on, that will make you just want to get up and react. The Voice of your Accuser is a piano solo that paints this calm before the storm kicks in with the next track, I Wish you Death which as you can guess this is not some love song. The drumming on this cd is fucking insane, the guitar riffs and vocals are so brutal and loud, that they growl and riff their way into your system and creates this pissed off feel, that let's be honest whether we admit this or not, most of us feel these feelings and want an outlet to scream or react to everyday bullshit or situations, this cd speaks to you. This cd is relentless like a love letter from Satan that is just brutally intense and does not let up. This is a very dark, depressing and utterly mad cd but from the production value to the way the songs come across on this, a very well done opus as well.
This is 15 tracks of pure fucking brutal metal, and it takes traditional death metal and gives it a new life. This is the cd that really brings the heavy back in metal. You can just tell in each song they are inspired, enthusiastic and really wanting to push the bounds of both metal and fury. The message on this cd is blunt, honest and to the point and the music on this cd is just the same. As much as I liked Path of Fire in 2010, this cd is just so much better in both production and just pure fire. (Excuse the pun) On November 20th if there is one album you must own that week, make it this one, it is well worth the purchase. This is a must, a very big must.

|Rodarte S/S '15; image source: nowfashion.com
Realizing it may be the only way to regain what has been lost, the duo went back to its roots.
This season Rodarte is all about fishing. The Mulleavys opened the show with legendary model Jamie Bochert dressed in an all-white suit, knee-length lace boots that covered the pants and a subtle hint of navy via a two-piece belt with a hook. The reference became even more evident later on thanks to the oversized four-pocket parkas, the asymmetrical macrame lace skirts which imitated sea animals and the complemen-tary fishing nets hanging from their hems. Also, silver paillettes and three-dimensional flower embroideries felt like a perfect way to round up what seems to be a successful re-positioning of the long lost Rodarte brand.
Unlike the Mulleavys, Narciso Rodriguez has never lost his true sense of style. There is even some-thing almost cult-like in the way the designer has been protecting minimalism ever since starting his namesake brand and today he delivered no less, although the question up for debate now is 'When does one's signature style become déjà vu?'
|Narciso Rodriguez S/S '15; image source: nowfashion.com
the asymmetrical minis and the black lamé details that inspired Julianna Margulies's Emmy dress,
also by the designer, but sadly it wasn't enough to cover up for the lack of forward-moving direction.

There is already pressure playing on an NBA Summer League team. Add the team's star player sitting courtside and the spotlight just got brighter.
With John Wall looking on, the #20 Washington Wizards rose to the occasion. They defeated the #13 Utah Jazz 86-78 in tournament action Tuesday evening at Cox Pavilion.
The Wizards dominated early on and took a 33-18 lead in the first quarter with a balanced team attack. Nine of the ten players who were on the court scored at least two points. The Jazz shot 65.0 percent (13-for-20) from the field. Bryce Cotton (6 points) was the only Jazz player to net more than one field goal.
The Jazz ramped up their defense in the second quarter to hold the Wizards to 19 points. Still, the Wizards held a commanding 52-35 lead at halftime. Scott Machado, who competed in Estonia last season, led all players with 11 points after two quarters.
The Jazz tied to make the game into a tale of two halves. They outscored the Wizards, 23-22, in the third quarter. Cotton, who appeared in 15 games for the Jazz last season, scored another six points in the third. Former D-League players Shawn Jones and Jamil Wilson also scored six apiece for the Wizards, who took a 74-58 lead.
The Jazz opened the fourth quarter on a 13-0 run and cut the deficit to three points, 74-71. They held the Wizards scoreless until Orlando Johnson made a layup with 5:06 to go. But the Wizards stretched their lead back up to 10 late in the game and held on for the eight-point win.
Machado led the Wizards with 17 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3PG, 7-8 FT) and 8 assists. Johnson, who played in the D-League last season, recorded a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds. First round draft pick Kelly Oubre Jr. (12 points), Jones (10 points) and Wilson (10 points) also finished in double digits.
For the Jazz, Cotton finished the night with a game-high 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-4 3PG, 4-4 FT). Brock Motum, who most recently played overseas, finished with 11 points off the bench.
The Wizards improved to 2-2 and will play the #4 New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday. The Jazz fell to 1-3 and will face the loser of the Dallas Mavericks-Los Angeles Lakers game on Friday.

Substance Abuse Counseling Certifications
What to Know About the Substance Abuse Counseling Certification / Licensure Process
South Dakota addiction counselors are credentialed by the South Dakota Board of Addiction Professionals (BAPP). There are multiple levels of credentialing. A Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) holds a graduate degree. A Certified Addiction Counselor (CAC) has pursued college studies in addiction but may or may not hold a degree. Both credentials require supervised experience and passing scores on a written examination. Candidates first come under Board jurisdiction as trainees.
BAPP is a member of the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC), and as such, has a residency/ work requirement. To apply in South Dakota, one must live or work in the state 51% of the time.
Capella University offers an Online Master of Science in Addiction Studies, a PhD in Addiction Psychology as well as three online CACREP- accredited master's programs: Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy, and School Counseling. Click here to contact Capella University and request information about their programs.
A trainee must have, at the minimum, a high school diploma or general education diploma and must be in a position which entails direct service with people who have been diagnosed with substance abuse or dependency issues.
The trainee will need an hour of supervision for every ten client contact hours; the minimum is eight hours per month. A counselor may hold trainee status for up to five years. Status is renewed annually.
A CAC will need 27 hours of coursework, which may be pursued at the undergraduate or graduate level. The following courses are required:
The student must earn at least a 'C' in required courses.
Experience requirements vary, depending on the level of the highest behavioral science degree a candidate has earned. With no behavioral science degree, the requirement is 8,000 hours. With an associate's degree in behavioral sciences from an accredited institution, the requirement is reduced to 6,000 hours. With a bachelor's degree, the requirement is 4,000 hours. With a graduate degree, it is just 2,000 hours. All candidates will need, as part of their experience, 300 hours of practical training in core functions. Detailed documentation will be required.
Candidates must also achieve a passing score on the IC&RC Written Examination. BAPP refers candidates to the IC&RC for study resources (www.internationalcredentialing.org).
An LAC candidate must hold a master's degree in a behavioral science discipline (http://dss.sd.gov/behavioralhealthservices/docs/ADA/StandardsManualOct2013.pdf).
The candidate will need 21 semester hours in Board-mandated areas. The Board requires three semester hours in each of the following:
Candidates may not credit courses in which less than a 'C' was earned.
The trainee will need 2,000 hours of experience. The experience must include 300 hours of supervised practical training. There must be at least ten hours in each of 12 core functions. The candidate must pass a written IC&RC examination.
In order to be deemed eligible for private independent practice, an LAC must have accrued two years of qualifying post-licensure or post-certification practice.
In-state trainees first submit applications at the ACT level. They must verify high school diploma or GED or provide transcripts. They must sign a code of ethics and a release form; they will either attest to not having a past felony or provide information about the disposition. (The Board will consider credentialing an individual if sentencing was five or more years in the past and all sentencing requirements have been completed.) Trainee applications may be requested from the Board.
The certification process entails review of an application portfolio. Specialized education must be approved. A candidate may request a list of approved courses from the Board. If coursework has not been pre-approved, the applicant will submit a review request form along with course descriptions, transcripts, and fee (currently $25). BAPP requires transcript documentation of all post-secondary coursework.
Application materials can be downloaded from the Board website (http://dss.sd.gov/behavioralhealthservices/licensingboards/board_ada.asp). Work experience verification, professional recommendation forms, and supervisor evaluation form are included in the application packet. The professionals who complete these documents will return them directly to the Board.The Board will also require a current job description. A $250 fee is due with the CAC or LAC application (http://dss.sd.gov/behavioralhealthservices/docs/ADA/faqs.pdf). This covers the cost of the examination.
Candidates will not take the examination until their application portfolios have been approved. In order to be eligible for the next examination, candidates must apply by the deadline listed in the application. Currently, there are just two testing windows a year. Application deadlines are listed as January 1 and July 1. A list of upcoming examination windows is available on the Board site (http://dss.sd.gov/behavioralhealthservices/licensingboards/board_ada.asp). A candidate who fails the test will need to submit a letter of intent to re-test along a $200 fee.
A CAC who completes requirements for the LAC license will submit an upgrade application. A candidate who is upgrading pays $150.
Addiction counselors who are credentialed by other IC&RC boards should request a reciprocity application from their current board (http://dss.sd.gov/behavioralhealthservices/docs/ADA/faqs.pdf). They will pay the $100 reciprocity fee to the IC&RC.
The Board also certifies prevention specialists (http://dss.sd.gov/behavioralhealthservices/docs/ADA/StandardsManualOct2013.pdf). The CPS credential requires a college degree. Individuals cannot be credentialed as trainees until they have completed their bachelor's. Candidates will need to complete fifteen semester hours of education in Board-mandated areas before certification. They will also need 2,000 hours of experience with 750 hours of practical training. Prevention specialist candidates must pass the applicable IC&RC examination.
The South Dakota Board of Addiction Professionals (http://dss.sd.gov/behavioralhealthservices/licensingboards/board_ada.asp) can be reached at 605-332-2645.
The South Dakota Association of Addiction and Prevention Professionals is an additional professional resource (https://sites.google.com/site/sdaapp).

Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers sold more than$240 million of equipment at its biggest ever Canadian auction over the weekend, as Alberta's struggling oil sector continues to downsize amid a persisting crude price slump.
The world's largest industrial equipment auctioneer said on Monday it set new company records for the number of sellers and registered bidders at its five-day Edmonton, Alberta, auction.
Last year, Ritchie Bros had its best-ever year as plunging global crude prices forced struggling oilfield service companies to sell off equipment, which was picked up by other sectors including agriculture, transportation and forestry.
"Approximately 46 percent of the equipment was purchased by Alberta buyers, showcasing the strength and size of this market even when there are economic challenges," said Brian Glenn, Senior Vice President of Ritchie Bros, referring to the most recent auction.
Ritchie Bros shares were last up 0.6 percent on the Toronto Stock Exchange at C$36.22.

Trail launch to "Discover Cranbrook"
A walking and cycling trail will be launched in Cranbrook to help local residents explore the area.
The "Discover Cranbrook: The Long Orchard Trail" is being established by Devon County Council, East Devon District Council, Cranbrook Town Council and Cranbrook New Community Partners Consortium to encourage people to get active and find out what's on their doorstep.
Starting at the entrance of the Country Park at Long Orchard, the trail includes five posts which feature different rubbings – four around the park and a fifth at Cranbrook Train Station.
Activity cards for the rubbings will be available from the café @143, Younghayes Library, and the fortnightly market.
As an added incentive, completed activity cards can be exchanged for a free refreshment at the cafe @143 between January and March 2017.
Councillor Stuart Hughes, Devon County Council Cabinet Member with responsibility for cycling, said: "We want to encourage residents to explore the area on foot or by bike, and the discovery trail is a simple idea to get people to give it a try. It's a fun way not just to find out what wildlife lives in the Country Park but also to discover just how close by the station for anyone who might want to use the sustainable travel links to and from the town. All you need is an activity sheet, a pencil or crayon, find the posts and complete the rubbings."
Councillor Iain Chubb, East Devon District Council's portfolio holder for the environment, said: "The new trail is a fabulous way for people of all ages to enjoy the wonderful East Devon countryside and keep active at the same time. So we hope that it will encourage people to put on their walking shoes or to get on their bikes. The health benefits of fresh air are frequently underestimated and with the modern pace of life people tend to forget the importance of spending time outdoors. Did you know that fresh air actually makes you happier and gives you more energy and a sharper mind?"
Councillor Kevin Blakey, Chairman of Cranbrook Town Council, said: "Cranbrook Town Council very much welcomes the creation of the Country Park Discovery Trail and would like to encourage the development of further trails in the future. The Country Park is a real asset to the town and we are very excited to see its use being promoted. The creation of the Trail also provides excellent links with the development of Cranbrook as a Healthy New Town."
A free cycling and walking map is available for Exeter and Cranbrook. Copies are available at the Younghayes Centre or download or order a copy at www.traveldevon.info

Well. It's getting close to Christmas.
And to prove a point we went out and bought our tree today (won't put it up till tomorrow though).
I was warned by Anne, before we went, not to do what I usually do ... pick the runt of the litter. I've been accused in the past of taking pity on sparse, stunted and lop-sided specimens. So this year we've opted for a fully formed well adjusted tree.
It's sitting outside at the moment in the back garden - much to Fatso the cat's confusion.
Another way to tell it's nearly Christmas? Well, when I got back from my cycle today I had a piece of Christmas cake with my coffee - last years Christmas cake! Thirteen days till we can cut into a new cake and I've still not finished last years!
Anyway, the tree will get decked in lights and sparkly stuff tomorrow. And, I'm happy to say, my modest collection of Christmas jazz albums will be decanted from the dusty box that they stay in for 11 and a half months of the year. I never listen to my Christmas music until 12 days before Christmas. Why? I do not know. But I don't, and anyway 12 days is more than enough. I really feel sorry for people who work in shops and have been listening to Phil Specter's bloody Christmas album since October.
Two new ones to add to my collection this year. Including one by the blessed Ella - looking forward to listening to that.
One of the few vocalists that I have any time for. I've yet to hear anything that Ella sang that I didn't like - she could probably have sang the menu from a Chinese takeaway and made it sound good.
The UN should pass a resolution stating that on one day a year all your Madonnas and your Beyonces and your Lilly Allens and what nots should shut the f*** up and just listen to Ella for a day (especially Lilly Allen). They might actually learn a thing or two.

Shimpaku Styling 1
Here is another gem from Brent at Evergreen Gardenworks. His comments:
"Did I give you the provenance on this one? This is one of two Shimpaku in one gallon containers that I purchased from a local bonsai dealer (Roscoe Morris, now deceased) from Treehouse Nursery. One has been in a bonsai pot the whole time and is still quite small. This monster has been let to grow and would have been even bigger if I had repotted it more often. It has been in my care since the early 80's , probably '81 or '82."
I'm a big fan of provenance with bonsai, and a fan of Brent's work in proliferating American bonsai stock. If any left-coasters have any insight on Mr. Morris or Treehouse Nursery, please let me know.
So, with more photos and fewer words, let's look at this one.
As offered, still at the nursery, 10/11:
Potted in a 24″ wide mica training pot:
April '12, exploring options for the best front:
In September '12. Fed heavily and allowed to grow freely all year, with a few unusable interior branches removed to allow sunlight to get in:
In summer '13, same side:
Then, in mid-summer, I pruned out more of the interior growth, and reduced branches emerging in 3s down to one or two. The quantity removed is surprising when comparing it to the before/after shots, since it still looks full:
I had been growing it this year so the other side would get more southern sun and started to see an interesting trunk line. I think it's normal for westerners to want to appreciate a bonsai from the left to the right, and that's the movement I defaulted to initially. It wasn't until I decided to turn it around this year that this option started to crystallize:
A virtual rendering of the plan:
Next week, we get to work…
Robert Gardner #
Ihave two of these great trees, didn't know what to do with them. I now am going to just let them grow in two gallon plastic pots, but with some kind quidance.

Tales of a Skout Global Friendship Ambassador, Week 2: The Shoot/
Corey is entering his sophomore year at Lynchburg College in Virginia, where he studies criminology. He likes going to the beach, watching movies and listening to music. During his internship at Skout, Corey wants to check out the San Francisco dining scene and explore historical landmarks. Tune in to the Skout Blog for Corey's updates each week, and add him on Skout, too (SkoutID: corepowww)! My first week at Skout was amazing because I had the opportunity to get a feel for the company culture.
My second week, however, was even busier! I assisted with many different projects the marketing team was working on. The highlight of the week was the video shoot we did for International Kissing Day.
Some of the employees here at Skout brought in their own dogs, and we all had an opportunity to kiss them. Almost all of the dogs cooperated and licked us all over our faces and even in our noses! These were the most adorable dogs I've ever seen! Dogs who weren't offering kisses had to be bribed with almond butter placed on our faces. I haven't had much experience with pets, but I think I did pretty well; I've got a knack for sweet-talking animals.
After about an hour or two of filming, we got really good footage. Check out the completed video here!
Besides the video shoot, I attended a lot of meetings and learned countless things about the world of marketing. Marketing is a lot more interesting than I expected! Marketing encompasses things such as influencers and communicating with the community. My favorite part of marketing is coming up with interesting ideas and having the opportunity to implement some of those ideas. Nothing is ever as it seems.
One thing I've learned in this short time is that you won't truly know if something is for you until you actually try it for yourself. Try something new – you may end up loving it!
Until next week!
What else has Corey been up to? Catch up on his Skout adventures!

If you're trying to imprint something that you absorbed the dark with a five-year-old mobile phone, you could be a little bit of unhappy along with the outcomes. While the laser printer performs publish images directly off from Facebook, you'll obtain better end results if you call the individual directly and receive the full size graphic. The ones discussed online carry out not have a high enough settlement to find out accurately.
This is actually yet another place where the printer truly radiates. Your publishing shows up lightening easy. A conventional 4" through 6" image will certainly print in as low as twenty secs. This is especially excellent when you look at that just 10 brief years ago that costs photograph laboratories $40 1000 bucks for the equipment required to open a one-hour photograph lab.

Quicker one today. The Camp extends PJ Harvey's new line in songwriter journalism, a collaboration with Ramy Essam based on the displaced refugee children of Lebanon's Bekaa Valley - all proceeds go to Lebanese non-governmental organisation Beyond Association - a deceptively straightforward strum given weight by the words and the conviction of Essam, an Egyptian dubbed the voice of the country's 2011 revolution. Nadine Shah's own politicised turn, unveiled in full on Holiday Destination come August 25th, continues on the brooding Yes Men, adopting her emotive keening to desperation at the ruling classes with low-key approaching menace.
Katie Crutchfield's second album as Waxahatchee, Out In The Storm, is approaching on July 14th, and opener Never Been Wrong bodes well in terms of upping the ante on the focused anger of someone wanting their say too much to unravel and associated laser pointed single-guitar attack, breaking free of a pop son structure in the process. You almost don't need to be told B-Boys are from New York, such is the recognisable cool quotient spikiness of their debut single Discipline, from debut album Dada out on the 16th, twisting art-rock shapes originating somewhere between Fugazi and Parquet Courts around each other uncomfortably. Finally, "a bit like Radiohead" is both an overdone description and usually an invitation to head for the hills, but it's a decent back of the hand description for Looks by Brazen Head, a hesitant, twisted piece of slow building tension in the way of OK Computer without the electronics or guitar heroics but with a piano part designed to pull the melody in a different direction from everything else. Suspiciously little made public about a band who sound so accomplished from the off, but this is more than a fascinating start.

A monthlong mystery over who illuminated the big grin on Simi Valley's Happy Face Hill has been solved: Two sisters, ages 3 and 7, did it.
"They wanted to surprise me because they knew how much I love the happy face," said their mother, Allison Robertson of Simi Valley.
Robertson is a business administration student at Moorpark College who tries to do her studying on weekends. Her husband, Doug, takes Tabitha and Evelyn on Saturday jaunts to give her some peace when she hits the books.
"I need a big chunk of quiet time," said Robertson, 29. "So they do things like have 'silly-pic Saturdays' where they go out and take pictures around town. They go on hikes. It gives me enough time to study."
Earlier this month The Times detailed how a Northridge man in 1998 created the smiley face next to the 118 Freeway near its entrance to Simi Valley and how in January a Chatsworth restaurant owner installed solar-powered garden lights on its grin and eyes. The story noted that no one knew who was responsible for outlining the face with solar lamps, however.
That report prompted Robertson to fess up about her daughters' weekend jaunt six weeks ago when they added lights to the face's edges.
Doug Robertson, a 38-year-old electrician, said he got the idea to involve the girls while driving home from work after dusk. "I saw there were lights on the eyeballs and mouth. I decided we'd do something crazy."
Robertson said he bought 36 garden lamps for $1 each at a discount store and asked the girls if they wanted to install them. "They were gung-ho to go," he said.
On the day of the installation, "we had trail mix for a snack, but the chocolate in it melted on the way up the hill," said Evelyn, a second-grader at Katherine Elementary School.
Once at Happy Face Hill, Robertson turned the event into an impromptu math lesson as his girls counted their steps as they walked around the face's circumference. "It turned out we had enough lights to put one every four adult-size steps," he said.
That night, the girls and their dad took Allison Robertson out for dinner. On their way, they detoured past Happy Face Hill where the huge smiley face was aglow.
"We did that for you, Mom!" the girls shouted out.
Doug Robertson said his wife was pleased — but a little nervous.
"My wife's a goody two-shoes. She only ditched school one time in her life, and before she did that she asked her mother if it would be OK," he said.
"So she asked if we trespassed when we put up the lights."

Sometimes, reading some of the more negative reviews of GW2, I'm convinced the author and I are playing a different game. And its because we are.
"How you play the game can completely change the perception you get of it." The conditioning players have experienced in other MMOs often causes them to miss some of the most amazing bits of GW2. And the game isn't showing them another way to play.
Take combat.
Plenty of MMOs have conditioned players to believe that difficulty is defined by how complex the priority system / rotation is for the class. (Looking at you, feral cat John F* Madden.) MAX DPS is a solo endeavor. Learn a rotation. Do it well. And do it on every single boss. Ok, maybe coordinate some cooldowns from time to time.
So GW2 - where there isn't really a rotation - seems simple. Individual damage can be max'd by hitting 1. Sometimes 2. Keep up buffs. Dodge stuff that hits hard. Stay out of the fire. Standard MMO fare, but with easier button pushing.
But underneath that simplicity is a devilishly complex - and social - difficulty: coordinating combo fields and finishers.
For example, using a blast finisher in a fire field gives might to everyone in the area. So 8 blast finishers = 24 stacks of might (25 is the cap). Which is 720 power / condition damage. Which is about one-third to half of the total power/condition damage of someone stacking that stat. For everyone in the group.
Thing is, one person can't lay down the field and use 8 blast finishers quickly. That takes coordination. So difficulty is now social and coordinated, not individual.
You will literally be hitting the same buttons over and over again, brainlessly, and not only will you succeed, but you will actually perform at almost max efficiency.Well, you could do that. But max efficiency? Not so much. While our guild initially thought explorables were a bit rough, learning to use these combos like the devs suggested made runs both easy and short. To be fair, since GW2 does next to nothing to teach players how to effectively use combo fields, its all too easy to dismiss combat as trivial. (I have to look them up.)
The same is true of the game world.
MMOs have conditioned players to expect that the UI will direct them where to go. No talking with NPCs to find hidden stuff. No clicking statues. Definitely no reading. Its a pretty fun way to play. But in GW2, its also a way to miss a ton of really fun stuff.
For me, it took the constant impending peril of death to make me realize GW2 is a little bit different.
I started to notice things, so I went back on my main.
Harathi Hinterlands has a statue. I'd learned from other statues that /kneel can yield buffs. Charr need no gods... but every cat loves its belly scratched.
So I light the candle, and kneel. Ghost pops up, tells a cool story, and directs me to start an event. Event is awesome! And just sitting there. Waiting for anyone ready to observe the world around them. (Cara Emm's video above does so much more to detail this.)
Its not just events. Its all those vendors I've been ignoring. Fleetze has a great post listing some fun and useful consumables found around the world. Summonable ranger pets for all. Instant vanish. Knockdowns. Fire fields. I'm probably going to lose half my gold porting to every vendor in the game and clicking the junk they have for sale, just to see if its actually useful. Oh goodness, did I just become a skritt?
For just for a little more willingness to explore, I've found so much more depth to the game.
Time for some sage quaggan advice:
ooooOOOOoooo Quaggan thinks you should smell the roses, maybe? ooooOooOOOOooo

09.09.11 Sweetening the first day of school
Labor Day weekend was wonderful. We had multiple near-spontaneous, kid-included, social occasions. We ate. We drank. In the evenings, we started watching the new Louis CK show (streaming on Netflix; so dark and funny!). Leo played in the dirt. The water. The sand. We put off a bunch of stuff in order to enjoy all this taking it slow and enjoying our family.
One day after Labor Day, the reversal is astonishing. I'm up late at my desk, stressed out and behind on a bunch of things, and tomorrow I'm due super early at the school where I lunch ladied last year to train my successor. Oh, and somehow, I may not have suitably prepared Leo for the first day of school tomorrow. And I definitely meant to have a nice first day gift ready for his wonderful teacher.
So, as teachers and students everywhere lie tucked in bed having anxiety dreams, I'm revolving trays of cookies around the kitchen. The recipe, an amalgam of chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin recipes that I have loved, is the last in a series of attempts to re-create the kitchen sink type cookies a neighbor of ours was famous for when I was a kid (my mom could never get her mind around the fact that she wouldn't share the recipe, but hey, it's given me a reason to spend my adult life tinkering with cookie dough!).
These are a little crisp, sweet, loaded with just about everything you could want in a cookie, and hey, they even have some whole grain and dried fruit cred. I hope they'll let Leo's teacher know what a super-star we think she is, and that we're rooting for her. And I know they'll be a welcome after-school snack for Leo on his first day.

According to this image, beliefs are primary. We first have to decide 'what we believe', often in the form of statements, perhaps such as 'There is that of God in everyone'. Our task is then to 'put these beliefs into practice', and our integrity is to be judged by the degree to which our actions conform to our stated beliefs.
This image is so familiar that it is easy to lose sight of the fact that it is just one way of making sense of our experience. It is useful for some purposes, but is not the only way to understand what is going on. It foregrounds the role of explicit belief statements, but it also obscures some things that are especially important for the Quaker way.
The early Quakers insisted that they were not offering just another set of beliefs, like all the other competing religious sects of their day. Instead, they were pointing to the possibility of a new experience of divine guidance and transformation. The way to that experience was not a different belief but a different practice, of 'waiting in the Light' or 'returning within'. This was a deliberate process of silent, attentive waiting on the divine voice within; becoming sensitive to the leadings of the Inward Guide and acting on them, as individuals and as a Quaker community.
Our usual picture above of 'putting beliefs into action' does not serve us very well for making sense of Quaker practice. This is one reason why Friends struggle with the question 'what do Quakers believe?' which starts from the assumption that the Quaker way is defined by a set of beliefs rather than shared practices. In response, Friends often substitute 'Quaker values' for beliefs, but this usually involves keeping the same basic picture, according to which we first choose our values and then have to find ways to 'live them out'.
Without an alternative to this simple, binary picture, we keep turning the Quaker way into just another set of arbitrary beliefs or values, words or ideas in our heads that we have to try somehow to live up to by acting them out in the world. But there are many other possibilities for picturing how our ideas relate to our actions. Just one example might be to imagine a circular process something like this:
Quaker practices include Meeting for Worship, Business Meetings, Experiment with Light, Meetings for Clearness, Worship sharing etc. These are not just forms of behaviour. Practices are an intimate combination of actions, ideas, stories and values. They embody shared expectations: for example that spoken ministry will be short, reflective, and generally avoid violent expressions of feeling. Quaker practices also refer to particular stories and traditions. Spoken ministry in a Meeting for Worship or Business will often refer to incidents from Quaker history or a particular Meeting community. These shared stories are part of the texture of Quaker practices, which contribute to their distinctive character.
Quaker practices give rise to very specific kinds of experience, including distinctive ones such as 'quaking' or the feeling of being 'led' to speak or act in a certain way. These experiences are significantly different from what happens in apparently similar practices such as Buddhist meditation. Quaker practices also shape our experience of being a particular kind of person. They help to form the things we value, what we enjoy or avoid, the kind of speech and behaviour that we cultivate. Practices such as Meeting for Worship for Business involve the regular self-discipline of letting go of fixed intentions and listening for the insights of those who differ from us. Through regular experience of disciplines such as this we are formed as people with distinctive capacities. This is one of the principal goals of Quaker practices, to help us to become changed men and women, to 'feel the evil weakening in us and the good raised up'.
These kinds of experience, and the kind of people we become, inevitably shape the quality of our Quaker community. Quaker practices are not just individual exercises: it is central to the Quaker way that it is practised in, and builds up, a faithful community. The quality of our community relationships is crucial for the vitality of our collective Quaker practices. Where a Quaker meeting does not have strong relationships of trust and affection between its members, or where there is little practical agreement about how to worship or discern together, the quality of Quaker practice will be significantly weakened. A community in which people share their lives and experience, and where there is a high level of agreement about how to practise the Quaker way together, will enjoy a virtuous circle of deepening experience, community and practice.
This picture of practice, experience and community might also be helpful for understanding Quaker testimony as a practice rather than a list of values or principles 'in our heads'. Quaker testimonies such as opposing war, solidarity with refugees or simplifying lifestyle are forms of purposeful, meaningful action, that form us as individuals and as a community. They are continually re-shaped by new discernment and understood in a range of different ways. Testimonies are not just acts of individual conscience, but practised as part of a community tradition, in conversation with its collective discernment.
I have presented this circular model of Quaker practice, experience and community not as 'the truth', but simply to illustrate one alternative to the prevailing model of 'belief and action', which too often tends to push people into opposing identities on the basis of differing statements of belief. All three parts of this alternative model include values, expectations, goals, ideas and stories, but it does not require us to decide or agree on theological positions. Perhaps I am drawn to this approach because explicit statements of belief play a very small role in my own life. I have always struggled to understand the meaning or purpose of abstract convictions about the nature of God or the precise mechanisms of salvation. For me, religion is not a matter of 'beliefs'; it is concerned with what I trust in and what I do.

Going Out with Friends? Try These Three Fun and Unique Entertainment Ideas
It's a problem that plenty of 20-somethings and older have when they want to see their friends: sometimes it feels like there's nowhere to go to socialize. Going out drinking can be expensive, and not everyone enjoys this activity; additionally, going to a movie theater doesn't leave much room for conversation, unless you want to draw the ire of other moviegoers. When you've become bored with the bar and hanging out at home seems like a hassle, it may be time to come up with some other ideas for food and entertainment.
However, one answer to this problem is as easy as searching your local Yelp and Google listings. There you can find unique restaurants and entertainment venues in your

For warm weather trail running - and other assorted aerobic pursuits - the attributes you need in your clothing are low weight, breathability, the ability to shift moisture, sun protection and seams which don't chafe. Durability doesn't hurt either!
Challenge accepted: presenting the Ar'teryx Accelero Comp T-Shirt, weighing in at just 132g.
Mesh over the shoulders and back enhances airflow. A durable, smooth knit front panel (with a UPF of 50+) and carefully positioned flatlock seams fight chafing. A wicking finish promotes rapid evaporation of moisture. There's even a natural stretch in the knit of the fabric for enhanced freedom of movement, and an antimicrobial odour control treatment.
So that's the ticklist done and then some!
- Fabric: 100% Polyester
- Strategically placed flatlock seams
- UPF 50+ (front)
- Reflective trim
- Weight: 132g (size M)

Lately, I've written several blog posts about Internet Providers (or ISPs) in Cambodia. In this latest, let's take a look at Google Wifi, one of the most simplified WiFi routers, that's both easy to install and use. In addition to this, Google Wifi is pretty much stable and fast.
At my home in Tuol Kork district in Phnom Penh, I subscribe to a fiber optic Internet connection, SINET Fiber Edge.
The dedicated speed for both upload and download is 10Mbps. Having the best of Google Wifi is a great addition to my home Internet. One pack of Google Wifi covers 457.2 meters home, while 3 packs have the capability to blanket your entire, large home of 1371.6 meters. I live in a 2 story flat house. So having one is good enough.
Technology websites like CNET, The Verge, and Engadget gave some great reviews about Google Wifi. CNET wrote that "Google Wifi is easy to use and a breeze to set up. It has strong Wi-Fi coverage and fast speed. It costs a lot less than other mesh Wi-Fi systems." In The Verge, the review site said: "Google says that the Wifi system is the product of three-and-a-half years of work — and it has previously released a router, called the OnHub."
This Google's mesh Wifi router is taking on products like Netgear and Eero. Yet, Google multi-point router system is still priced cheaper than these brands.
In Cambodia, you can buy Google Wifi here at Sweet Memory Store. One pack is for $149.

Should I Purchase insurance for car rentals?
Does it make sense to purchase additional insurance when you rent a car, or are you already covered? With so many options at the car rental counter, it might be tempting to buy whatever insurance protection is available to safeguard your trip. But many travelers don't realize they're more than likely duplicating coverage they already have.
An easy way to remember if you are covered is this: if you are insured for that type of coverage on your Personal Auto Policy, then you are covered for it as well on your rental car. If you're not insured through you insurance policy, the long list of available options can seem intimidating, with dozens of plans that can add as much as $40 per day.
Here are a few of the coverages they will offer you:
- Liability insurance which provides protection for up to $1 Million, costs between $7 and $14 per day. A driver should already have this coverage under their own personal auto insurance.
- Personal accident insurance covers medical and ambulance bills for the driver and passengers in the event of an accident. Opting for this would cost an additional $1 to $5 daily, but health insurance or personal injury protection under a personal auto policy would already pay for these types of bills.
- Physical damage to the vehicle can cost up to $10 per day at a rental counter. However, if you have comp and collision coverage for any of your vehicles on your Personal Auto Policy, this damage will already be covered as well.
When you are standing at the counter, with a line behind you, and you feel pressured to buy all of the coverages because you don't have a sense of what kind of coverage you need and what you don't. That's when you make bad decisions.
Please bear in mind that if you rent the vehicle in your business' name, you must have Hired Liability as well as Hired physical damage coverage on your Commercial auto policy in order to be protected as well. If all of your vehicles are owned by your business and you have no personally owned vehicles, you must have Drive-other-Car coverage on your Commercial Auto policy to have this protection.

This is Mediterranean cooking at its simple best. Fresh, seasonal ingredients and good quality olive oil – nothing more, nothing less. This is the meatless version of the classical Catalan dish that I usually make. The traditional dish usually has slices of botifarra (Catalan blood sausage) and maybe botifarra blanca (white Catalan sausage). The most important thing about this recipe, and all seasonal cooking, is that the ingredients are as fresh as possible.
500g broad beans (preferably in their pods)
small onion
2 cloves of garlic
2 ripe tomotoes
sprig of fresh mint
sprig of fresh thyme
half a bay leaf
glass of anis
salt & black pepper
Shell the broad beans (if you've got kids, get them to do this and they are more likely to eat the dish). Finely chop the onion and slOOwly sweat in a heavy-bottomed frying pan with the diced garlic. Add the herbs and then the tomatoes – without skin or pips (to remove the skin, make a cross in the bottom of the tomatoes, put them in boiling water and in water with ice cubes. The skin will then come off easily.)
When the liquid from the tomotoes has evaporated, add the beans, a little water and the anis. Season and cook over a low heat for about 20 minutes. If using sausage, add after 15 minutes and cook around 5 minutes .
Serve with bread to mop up the juices.

Hi there!
I am Szani Lee, a 27 years old philologist who ended up being a designer & digital artist. I have a BA Degree in English & American Studies, a certificate in Marketing but eventually I started working in the creative field since I truly wanted to pursue my childhood dream, which was to become an artist and designer. My thirst for expressing myself through my art turned me into a passionate designer. If I had to describe my style in a few words, I would say: clean, modern or at times artsy and playful.

Shower is a necessary but who said that it can't be luxury or beautiful? It doesn't matter where you live – in the flat or private house – shower is a must. Some people have an opportunity to install both bathtub and shower booth in their homes. Others prefer shower to bathtub at it takes less space.
Anyway, if you have shower you need to decorate it. Tile is the most cost effective material for this. You need to choose right size, shape and, of course, color. Black is one of the most popular and widely used. It is practical and look gorgeous at the same time. Black tile can add elegance and luxury to any shower unit, no matter how big or small it is.
Look at these black shower tile ideas below to get the inspiration for creating the shower of your dream you'll never want to leave.
Actually I like the idea of differentiating shower tile from all the rest in the bathroom, but I have some doubts whether such a combination will suit for small bathrooms like mine.↓

Halifax Piece Hall's Claire Slattery has won a major national award for her work on the restoration and reopening of the Grade I listed building.
Musical legend Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber - who visited the Piece Hall recently - announced the Historic England Angel Award winners this week with Claire taking the first ever Overall Winner category. Awards judges heard Claire undertook a complex £19 million project to restore the Georgian building and return it as a place of pivotal importance in Halifax.
Lord Lloyd Webber described the Piece Hall as "inspirational" and spoke about it in terms of international importance. He said: "This stunning example of urban renewal should spur on councils of every major city and town in Britain to do something similar. It is as if St Mark's Square in Venice has been deposited in West Yorkshire and puts Halifax on a par with major cities in Europe."
Coun Tim Swift, Leader of Calderdale Council, said: "We are so proud of Claire for her role in conserving The Piece Hall for generations to come. Andrew Lloyd Webber summed up the project perfectly as inspirational, which is testament to our determination to make this work despite the tough financial times we are in."
Nicky Chance-Thompson, chief executive at The Piece Hall Trust, said Claire's award had thrilled them: "It's now up to us at the trust to deliver a sustainable future for this astonishing building in partnership with the council. When Lord Lloyd-Webber visited it was clear he was impressed with the building and cultural regeneration of the area, seeing the positive impact that it has had on the whole of Halifax and beyond.
"We are confident that it will continue to lead the way as a fantastic example of a heritage building re-purposed for 21st Century use."

One of four bears rescued from Japan to Doncaster's Yorkshire Wildlife Park has had to be put to sleep just weeks after arriving at his new UK home.
Brown bear Amu was the oldest of the four bears who undertook the 5,400 mile trip to the UK earlier this month.
But bosses at the Branton-based visitor attraction at had to make the heartbreaking decision to put the 27-year-old animal to sleep after medical checks.
READ MORE: This is the first time bears play with each other at Doncaster wildlife park
A statement on the park's website said: "We regret to announce the death of Amu.
"An extensive veterinary examination once he arrived in the UK revealed the full extent of several chronic degenerative disease processes including arthritis and heart disease, which were unfortunately more severe than first thought.
"Vets and YWP staff tried a wide variety of treatments, constantly monitoring his condition hoping to see improvement.
READ MORE: Yorkshire Wildlife Park features in new Channel 5 show
"Sadly, after weeks of trying to improve his health, the vets and YWP decided that on welfare grounds, there was no choice but to put him to sleep. This was obviously a deeply difficult decision and very hard for the staff who had been caring for him since his arrival.
"We would like to thank everyone, who helped bring the bears to YWP. We are pleased to report that the other three are in good health and thriving in their new surroundings."
Amu arrived in the UK after a huge two month logistics operation to ensure the animals were transported safely.
READ MORE: Brown bears coming to Yorkshire Wildlife Park
Riku, Kai, Hanako and Amu were previously housed as part of an exhibit in outdated cages at the Ainu Cultural Museum on Hokkaido, the northernmost of Japan's islands and urgently needed new facilities. Unfortunately, there was no capacity in Japanese zoos to take them, so YWP stepped in.
YWP and local experts spent nearly seven hours moving the four bears from the bleak cramped cages into specially constructed transport crates ready for their journey from Tokyo to London's Heathrow before being transported by road to Doncaster.
The Ussuri Brown Bear is on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species due to their vulnerability to habitat loss, illegal hunting for body parts and skins. There are estimated to be around 10,000 in Japan. The Ussuri Brown Bears are also known as the Black Grizzly, can weigh up to 550Kg and live up to 35 years.

Wall Street dips
A drop in Apple shares was partly offset by gains in energy and financial stocks. Fred Katayama reports.
Investors resilient despite yet another terrorist attack. Stocks were steady, edging lower as Apple dragged down the indexes. Kevin Caron of Washington Crossing Advisor explains why the markets shrugged off the attacks in London. SOUNDBITE: KEVIN CARON, PORTFOLIO MANAGER, WASHINGTON CROSSING ADVISORS, (ENGLISH) SAYING: "We've had so much good data for so long. If you look at where the unemployment rate is, that's come tremendously down. If you look at where earnings forecasts are, those turned around about this time last year, and of course the equity markets are sitting near highs. So I think investors are now just a bit complacent and looking for what happens next." Helping boost the Nasdaq and S&P 500: Alphabet. Google's parent crosses the $1,000 mark, just one session after Amazon did likewise. Apple weighed on all three big indexes. Pacific Crest downgraded the iPhone maker's shares to "sector weight" from "overweight". Apple at its developers conference Monday said it'll sell a new "homepod" home pseaker that'll feature the voice-activated assistant, Siri. It also said it would make Amazon Prime Video available on Apple devices. Amazon shares rose. Shares of Herbalife dropped after the nutritional supplements maker said it expects sales to fall more than 6 percent due to its transition to new FTC rules in the U.S. Materials and telecom stocks pulled the markets slightly lower in Europe. German markets were closed for a national holiday.

So, we haven't really been able to work on espresso drinks because the non-pressurized basket for the crappy De'Longhi machine is still on backorder at Seattle Coffee Gear until sometime in April. Meanwhile, we've just been practicing a little latte art here and there. We're really happy to get some great feedback from friends and family. We're especially flattered to have requests to try our coffee! Hopefully, that can happen as soon as we get the new basket and get everything calibrated. I'm really excited, and at the same time curious, even dubious, as to whether the De'longhi will be able to perform. Its like expecting a Honda Civic to compete in a race amongst Ferraris.
I was going to post a latte art video today since its Thursday but decided to do something different and a lot better. Expect a longer video next week!
Meanwhile, we're loving this milk from Maple View Farms and trying out the Bourbon variety and La Golondrina. We're still catching up on all the new coffees from CC. Happy weekend!

What our clients say
Holly has been working with me for almost three years. She is a virtual assistant to me and my team, helping us to stay organized and focused on revenue generating tasks. She's truly a jack of all trades, my right-hand lady. She's willing to step in and lend support wherever it's needed. That's actually what I love about Holly most. She never says, "I can't ..." If she doesn't know, she rolls up both sleeves in the pursuit for figuring out how.
Holly Kile was one of the most dedicated professionals through her work at HJK Global Solutions. I have had the pleasure of knowing her for the past 5 years working at HJK Global Solutions. Reliable, dedicated and hardworking women in business. Broad-minded, efficient, insightful and careful perfectionist, with great sense of humor. Working with her is a signature of success.
Marketing manager
I've been working from home for nearly 15 years and I thought I had the virtual business gig down pat. So, it was with a slight eye roll that I signed up for The Virtual Bootcamp. Well, color me wrong!
In this course, Holly Kile uses her signature passionate presentation style to explain in plain English where you should focus your time and energy. She helps you develop a work plan that foresees all of the small and often overlooked things that impede momentum. The information she provides is not stale, rehashed content but easily executable tips on maximizing peak efficiency and productivity-management.
The Virtual Bootcamp helped breathe some fresh air into my home business. I give this course a 10 out of 10 and many sincere thanks to Holly Kile for creating it.
Holly Kile has been a valuable consultant to me related to online strategies. I love just spending time with her because she is so brilliant and comes up with fantastic ideas right on the spot!
I have enjoyed working with Holly the last several years on a number of projects. Holly is very good at listening and then implementing exactly what you said into a well thought out plan. Holly is also very creative and designed my website, newsletter, mail campaigns, and various projects over the years. Holly is a great partner in business and really works to make sure everything she does is reflective of who you are.
linda tenella
fitness and nutrition expert
Holly is always a go-to person. You can count on her. She set up a tele-seminar series for me, which was flawless. She also has communicated with my clients, to set up and confirm appointments. Holly has also helped me by pulling together seemingly disconnected pieces of content and creating cohesive packages and products.
Holly is organized, efficient, extremely competent, and has an excellent rapport with people of all professions. Her communication skills, both written and verbal, are excellent. Many people find her enthusiasm and dedication both inspiring and motivating. As part of the team, Holly has worked hard to build authentic relationships. Her efforts have created a more productive team.
Carla walker
social entrepreneur
Holly Kile is a highly exceptional virtual assistant who is intuitive, resourceful and completes tasks quickly. Her business acumen and warm and friendly personality is a welcomed combination. I highly recommend Holly. She is an asset to any business.
marie kirkland
life coach
Holly is a coach, mentor and friend. With the redesign of my website, she's such a great hand holder and guide. She is very creative and she knows what needs to be there on the site. She is wonderful with assessing flow and design.
Holly and her team have been my VA's for several businesses over the past 4 years. She is tremendously responsive and is excellent at anticipating my needs. Just recently, while monitoring my e-mail, she noticed a critical need and jumped in, saving me time and money!
lynn zettler
executive coach
As I sat down to write this testimonial, I am not sure how I can express with words just how much working with Holly has helped me, dare I say Changed me? I met Holly in at a networking meeting and thought that she was incredible already and we hadn't really talked about much of anything. A couple weeks later I was lucky, no blessed, to get work with Holly. I get to spend time with Holly through Pixie Chicks and with 1 on 1 coaching time. Working with Holly is simply amazing. I feel like a brand new Nikki. I didn't expect to grow personally, I was thinking I would learn how to work and grow my business. But personally and as a business woman, things changed. My business grew, my happiness grew and I learned how to handle all the those fun things that come with growth. I really don't think I can express just exactly how amazing it has been getting to know and work with Holly. She is one amazing sparkling lady and if you ever have the chance to work with her, I say you better jump on that train!"

Research suggests that preservice elementary teachers may lack the mathematics understanding necessary to teach mathematics for understanding. The literature has consistently linked student success in mathematics with teacher pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), and recent study suggested a link between teachers' mathematical content knowledge and student achievement. There are gaps in the literature concerning preservice elementary teachers' understanding of number theory, and little is known about how they develop number theory PCK or the relationship between their content knowledge and their PCK. The goals of this dissertation were to investigate the nature of mathematics concentration preservice elementary teachers' content knowledge of number theory, the nature of their potential PCK in number theory, and the relationship between the two. To address these goals, I conducted a qualitative, interpretive case study of undergraduate students enrolled in a number theory course designed for preservice elementary teachers, using an emergent constructivist-based theoretical perspective. I gathered observational, interview, and document data and conducted analysis using constant comparative methods. Many of my findings concerning preservice elementary teachers' understandings of number theory content pertain to their understandings of greatest common factor (GCF) and least common multiple (LCM). In particular, participants were more comfortable creating LCM story problems than creating GCF story problems, but their understandings of GCF story problems were closely related to the two meanings of division. In contrast to their understanding of story problems, participants were more comfortable with procedures for finding the GCF than with procedures for finding the LCM. In response to my other research questions, evidence suggests that preservice elementary teachers do possess potential PCK in number theory, namely potential knowledge of content and students and potential knowledge of content and teaching, and that they are related and influenced by specialized content knowledge, curricular content knowledge, experiences working with students, and epistemological perspectives. My data also suggest that preservice elementary teachers possess a type of PCK that is not explicitly represented by the literature, which I call general mathematical pedagogy. My findings hold many implications for practice. For example, data suggest a process through which preservice elementary teachers might develop a robust understanding of GCF story problems, which builds on their understandings of division. With this observed development process, instructors can scaffold preservice elementary teachers' understanding of GCF story problems. My results also imply specific ways in which mathematics teacher educators and mathematicians may help preservice elementary teachers develop PCK in number theory. For example, instructors can pose hypothetical student conjectures and ask preservice elementary teachers to reflect on the knowledge necessary to teach the content, determine the validity of the conjecture, identify the concepts the student does and does not understand, suggest how they might respond to the student, and reflect on how they used their content knowledge to do so.

|Coultard was born in scotland on 27 March 1971 and got his 1st go at formula1 in 1990 when he test drived the McLaren-Honda MP4/5 Formula One car after he won the McLaren Autosport Young Driver of the Year Award..While testing with Williams, he was thrust into the hot seat after the death of Ayrton Senna and made his debut at the Spanish Grand Prix in 1994. The following season he won his first race, at Portugal, and went on to finish third overall in the title.
He moved to McLaren after being dropped by Frank Williams in favour of Jacques Villeneuve.In 1998 he conceded the 1st race to team mate Hakkinen and as Schumacher's assault on Hakkinen's title lead gathered pace, Coulthard found himself increasingly cast in the supporting role. Nevertheless, his win at San Marino and eight other podium appearances were crucial in guaranteeing the constructor's championship, and in 1999 he will be looking to further his own ambitions with more race wins. 1998 One race victory and six second places assist Mclaren's constructor's bid, but Coulthard himself can only manage 3rd in the driver's race. 1997 Victory in Australia and Italy sees him finish 3rd in the Drivers' World Championship with 36 points. 1996 Joins McLaren-Mercedes. Finishes second in Monaco and seventh overall 1995 Finishes 3rd in the Drivers' Championship in his first full season, winning his maiden GP at Portugal.In 1994 he was voted Scottish Sports Personality of the Year and ITV Young Sports Personality of the Year. 1993 Test driver for Williams-Renault. Finishes 3rd in F3000 Championship with PSR. GT Class Winner at the Le Mans 24 Hour Race with Jaguar. 1992 F3000 racing with PSR. F1 test with Benetton-Ford 1991 Runner-up in British F3 Championship, with 5 wins.

Fam Pract Manag. 2005 May;12(5):88.
Can no-pays get the heave-ho?
Can I discharge a patient for not paying his or her bills?
Physicians are not obligated to continue providing care to patients who do not pay their bills, with the exception of patients who are under close medical supervision. If you've documented your efforts to collect what the patient owes, you may discharge the patient.
Your contract with the patient's insurer may dictate the procedures you should follow, so be sure to consult it. Generally it is acceptable to send the patient a letter stating that you are withdrawing from the patient's care effective on a specific date (typically 30 days from the letter's date). The letter should inform the patient that you will provide only emergency care for him or her until that date and offer to forward the patient's medical record, or a summary, to the physician of his or her choice.
Send the letter via certified mail so that you will receive a receipt of delivery. File a copy of the letter, along with the postal service's receipt of delivery, in the patient's chart.
Releasing deceased patients' records
One of my patients died suddenly at age 66. His family did not request an autopsy but would like to schedule a meeting with me to review his records. What sort of authorization do I need to release this information?
You may release the information to the executor of the patient's estate if you have received a written request to do so. The Department of Health and Human Services Office of Civil Rights specifically recognizes that this release of information is appropriate under the privacy restrictions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
You may also release the information to the physician of the next of kin for treatment purposes if you have received a written request from that physician. The treating physician would then be bound by HIPAA's "minimum necessary" rule in his or her use of that information.
Because state laws differ and frequently vary from federal law, contact your local attorney and verify compliance prior to releasing information.
Open access in an academic setting
I would like advice about how groups of academic physicians with 30-percent to 40-percent clinical time have handled open access. We have had a same-day side in our clinic for three years and it has been a success in some ways, but we are concerned about the loss of continuity that has resulted.
I have seen some academic models where physicians are required to be present in the clinic 50 percent of every day, preferably in the afternoon. With the correct panel size, these groups have been extremely successful. In addition, I've seen some academic environments designed around continuity to a team of physicians. These groups, again assuming the correct panel size, also have been successful. Academic groups that use a carve-out model can be successful as well with a commitment to meticulous measurement and flexibility.
There are inherent difficulties with carve-out models that just have to be accepted. For one, a carve-out will lengthen the waiting time for non-same-day appointments. Reducing the backlog in that queue can mitigate some of this problem. A carve-out also requires an accurate prediction of same-day needs vs. non-same-day needs. If you overestimate same-day needs, then unused capacity results; if you underestimate same-day needs, then overflow results. The longer the waiting time for non-same-day appointments, the higher the likelihood of no-shows, and the higher the likelihood that some patients, who don't meet the criteria for same-day may try to "cut in line." This creates an increased tension for another appointment line (same-week) and increased practice walk-ins.
Your practice, with a "same-day side" and "non-same-day side," is just a carve-out in another form. I would recommend that you decide whether you want to value continuity to the individual or continuity to a team of providers. If you choose continuity to the individual, merge the same-day and non-same-day groups so that physicians see their own patients.
