Sciatica is a pain in the back and leg. It usually comes from a herniated lumbar intervertebral disc pinching a lumbar nerve root.
The disc is a cushion to reduce the pressure on the spine. When the spine is under extreme stress, such as when a person bends forward and lifts heavy box, the disc is squeezed out its confinement and into the epidural space.
The epidural space is a narrow space inside of the spinal canal where the spinal cord and nerve root reside. The herniated disc is thus an alien, foreign object in this epidural space where it does not really belong. The herniated disc would take up space and push upon the nerve root and spinal cord. This cause both mechanical and chemical pain. This pain is called lumbar radicular pain.
Because the nerve root carries pain sensation from the lower leg and the foot, pain of these pinched lumbar nerve root feels like shooting pain to the foot or toes.

As you probably know, the Internet is a great and wonderful place with all the world's information right at your fingertips. However, the Internet can be a dangerous place as well if you don't keep an eye out. I'm sure you've seen messages like the infamous Nigerian letter, PayPal, and E-Bay and banking scam emails asking for your user name and passwords or you'll be charged/closed/abducted by aliens etc.
Here are several things to look for whenever you get a suspicious message:
- The "from" and "reply to" email address should be the same, and the addresses should be from the same web domain mentioned in the message.
- Is the email signed by someone? It should be the same name that's in the 'reply' email address.
- Be Leary of emails with bad grammar or poor punctuation or spelling. Ther're almost always scams.
- Does the email ask you to reply with a password/account name/social security number or ask you to reply with any other information? Legitimate companies will never ask you to give us your e-mail password through e-mail.
- If you suspect the email is a scam but are not sure and want to check into it further, do not click on any links or reply to the email. Rather, go directly to the website by entering the web address in your web browser.

Down two pounds to 310.4. I'm so close to 309 (BMI out of the 50s) and 307 (50 pounds lost) I can practically taste it. If I keep losing at my current rate, I'll hit 307 in a couple of weeks. I was hoping to be 307 by Christmas so I could tell my family I lost 50 pounds, but hey - 47-ish or 48-ish or whatever it is by then is close enough. :) I'm really proud.
Last night, I realized I was wearing the same shirt (different color) that I am in my original progress picture. I also wore the exact same blue shirt in my progress pictures from 25 pounds lost. So, I took some new pictures, even though I haven't hit 50 pounds yet.
I put the overall progress pictures on the Photos page. Here are the blue shirt pictures showing a nearly-25-pound difference. I can really see it in my stomach (not hanging as much) and thighs/butt (not quite as wide).
You can also see that this shirt is getting pretty big on me. I wear it with pajama pants now. It's super comfy.
I think it's interesting that when I lost the first 25 pounds, it was sort of hard to tell the difference between 357 and 332. But then I looked at the 332 pictures versus these pictures at 310, and the nearly-25-pound loss is more obvious. This really makes me happy! I know that losing 25 pounds is way more obvious the less you weigh, but I didn't think I'd start seeing a difference while still over 300 pounds. :)

City of Bend utility crews plan temporary repair work soon at the city's water intake facility, next to the Tumalo Falls parking area, having found cracking in the wall of a nearly 90-year-old steel pipe, officials said Wednesday.
The work is scheduled to begin within the next week and last up to a few days. Visitors to the popular Deschutes National Forest recreation area may see construction crews at work.
The surface water supply is currently shut down for new pipeline construction work.
During the shutdown, crews used the opportunity to inspect about 32 feet of the 24-inch diameter water pipe that exits the intake facility. The video inspection showed some cracking in the wall of the steel pipe. A follow-up visual inspection confirmed the damage.
The pipe that is cracked is the original line that was installed in 1926 to convey drinking water from Bridge Creek to the city of Bend.
In addition to welding the cracked portion of pipe, crews will also be hand-digging in the immediate area to examine the exterior of some portions of the pipe, to see if additional repairs are needed.
The entire intake facility and 10-mile pipeline is scheduled to be replaced as part of the Bridge Creek Pipeline Replacement Project, the topic of controversy and court rulings in recent years. A judge's decision is allowing part of the project to proceed while the rest of the project faces a continued legal fight.
Critics of the project say it's too costly for ratepayers, will take more water and harm fish habitat (which the city denies) and that the city could instead rely on pumped ground water alone.
City spokesman Justin Finestone said the part of the pipe needing repairs is not part of the pipeline replacement project that's currently going under way along Skyliners Road, west of Bend. "This section of pipe will be replaced when we rebuild the intake facility," Finestone said. "That part of the project can't move forward until the lawsuit is resolved. So, we need to repair the pipe to use the system during the peak summer months.".
Construction of the pipeline portion of the project began in March. Replacement of the intake facility will begin when litigation is resolved, city officials said.

Who Knew? Religion Curriculum is the Hardest to Find!
I had it so easy this semester with curricula. Really, I didn't know truly how easy it was. Sure, just using the same as Amber's parochial school was clearly a low-brain usage answer. We did have to deal with the Social Studies issues and select our own Latin curriculum. Still those were just minor annoyances compared to selecting an entire year's worth of curricula.
I won't even discuss how I'm trying to decide if "my style" is truly my style. If I really need curriculum for all the various subjects we plan to continue or if I can "wing it" for some of them. I am hoping that if I simply review my notes on the curricula I'll be back on track.
The real problem is Religion class. Oh, the agony this is causing me.
Amber has attended Lutheran schools since three year old pre-school and had daily religion classes at school. We have instructed her at home as well, but she had formal daily lessons at school with weekly chapel. We take her to church and Sunday school weekly, as well.
In our homeschool we continued with the workbook from her parochial school for our daily religion instruction. I am not impressed with it and neither is Amber. It is basically a review of the same Bible stories she has reviewed year after year with little additional insight. I've never been terribly impressed with any of the religion curriculum, but this year's seems outstandingly bland and uninformative. Amber has also been asking questions of me that show how little she understands other than the details of the same Bible stories she has always studied. I'd like to rectify these gaps with more than talking to her myself, but have something concrete in front of us for her to read. She is such a visual learner.
My quest for Religion class curriculum has gone poorly, to say the least. I have scoured Concordia Publishing House's website for something appropriate and informative. I have come up empty. I have looked around at other homeschool publishers and still not found the right thing.
In a shocking revelation, we are Lutheran (Missouri Synod). This means we are also theological snobs. I'm willing to admit that we are very particular in our theology, especially those of us from German descent born and raised to the religion. All the jokes about Lutherans are pretty much spot on.
This also means that we are going to have trouble with the ever so subtle wording differences in curriculum from other religions. It's not that I'm unwilling to use them, I just want to be able to LOOK all the way through before I buy. I don't want to have to re-work or tell Amber we are skipping large section of a curriculum.
My last caveat is that Amber will start weekly confirmation classes at church in 7th grade. While, I'm not opposed to teaching her from the catechism, I would like her to get the full benefit of confirmation classes and not have her assume she knows it all because she did it with Mom. Unfortunately, the curriculum I am leaning toward the most right now deals with the 6 chief parts of Christian doctrine. It's basically catechism with pictures. It also isn't long enough for an entire year of daily instruction, so we are back to the random Bible stories.
If any one has any advice on how to find a Religion class curriculum tolerable to conservative Lutherans that provides more information than the same set of Bible stories that Amber has been learning for the past 7 years, but something that is engaging, then I am all ears!

Naxos Releases
Final Volume of Acclaimed Schubert String Quartet Cycle by Kodály
Quartet June 21st
On June 21st, Naxos will release Volume 6 of the Kodály String
Quartets complete cycle of the quartets of Franz Schubert (8557125).
The latest and final release in the series is comprised of String Quartet

The now-complete Schubert cycle joins the Kodálys previously
released complete sets of the entire string quartets of Haydn and Beethoven
on Naxos, both of which received outstanding reviews for the Hungarian
ensembles intelligent and stylistic interpretations.
Of an earlier volume in the set, Gramophone named it Editors Choice
for the "good down-to-earth chamber music-making by a quartet who
have worked together for the past 30 years" and wrote that the "notably
well-balanced group bring an elegant and expressive warmth" to these
Schubert Quartets. Classic CD named the Kodálys Haydn Op.
64 as "Best Chamber Music Release" of 1993.
The Kodály Quartet, formed in 1966, made its American debut in
1982 and returns to North American this fall for a concert tour including
appearances in Ottawa, Montreal, Providence (RI), Jacksonville and Daytona
Beach, FL, and Chester, CT. Repertoire for this tour includes Beethovens
Quartet in F minor, Op. 95, Dohnanyis Second Quartet and Ravels
Quartet in G. The Hungarian ensemble has been featured on major concert
series at the 92nd Street Y, the Library of Congress, Spivey Hall, Music
Toronto, and other prestigious venues.
Next on the Kodálys recording schedule for Naxos are the
Octets of Mendelssohn and Bruch (the German composers last work
from 1920, which was only published/premiered in 1996), set for release
in June, 2006.

What's 11 lbs (5 kg) and black and white and silver all over? Heston Blumenthal's The Big Fat Duck Cookbook!
Word on the street is that no serious foodie should be without this impressive tome. I've just got my hands on a copy. It cost $275! (or $25 per pound if you like to think about things in those terms.) Unfortunately, I've no time to sit down and take it all in with my eyes this week. Instead I'm going to keep this book on my head, hoping that the info and images somehow sink into my brain.
I'll be back with insightful and critical comments and comparisons to the other new books by kitchen scientists when I get a chance. In the meantime, send me referrals for good chiropractors. (My neck is really sore for some reason). Also, if you have any spare hair brushes around, send them over to me, too – now that I can see the back of my head, it's obvious that I need to take my grooming up a notch!
Has anyone else had a chance to crack this baby open? If so, tell us what you think about the book!

You have likely had the experience of speaking to someone whose breath was so bad that you were looking for a way to cut the conversation short, or you were desperately wishing you could offer them a piece of gum without coming off as offensive. It is easy to see that bad breath is not an attractive trait in others, so how do you tell if your breath is bad, and if it is, how do we get rid of it?
How to Tell if You Have Bad Breath
If your breath is bad, it is often the case that you can not smell it. So, if bad breath is hard to discover on your own, and if most people find bad breath offensive, how do you know if you are an offender.
First, you have to realize that the air that is being pushed out of your body by your lungs is moving away from you. This is what makes it difficult to smell your own breath. To overcome this, you should look for something that can direct the airflow back toward your nose. This can be done with a mask or a piece of paper. Some people try using their hand to redirect the air, but you will find that it is better to use something that does not have other smells associated with it the way that your hand does.
Second, realize that while you may get an idea of how your breath smells by directing the air back toward your nose, the only real test is to ask someone. If you don't have a friend you feel like you can ask about this, you can always ask a trusted dentist here at Oxford Dental Care.
Causes of Bad Breath
Bad breath also known as halitosis can have a few different causes. It can be caused by the foods you eat, your oral health habits or your general health.
- Foods You Eat
The food that you eat can cause bad breath in two different ways. First, particles of food that get stuck in your teeth can cause bacteria to build up. This bacteria is a major cause of bad breath. Second, oils in your food can be absorbed into your blood stream and carried to your lungs which causes the odor to be given off in your breath.
- Oral Health
Bacteria can be a major cause of bad breath. Using an antibacterial mouth wash can keep the bacteria down and eliminate a good amount of the odor. Remember to brush your tongue because it acts like a sponge and can hold on to bad smells and bacteria.
- General Health
Any sort of infection in your mouth, sinuses or throat can cause bad breath. The causes of the smell can be the bacteria or the discharge caused by the infection. Bad breath can also be caused by dry mouth or dehydration. Staying hydrated with caffeine free beverages (preferably water) can significantly cut down on bad breath.
Four Steps to Get Rid of Bad Breath
- Step One
Avoid foods that directly cause bad breath. Foods like onions, garlic and spicy food are notorious for causing breath that is less than desirable. The difficult thing with many of these foods is that it takes more than just brushing your teeth to rid your breath of the smell. Remember how I talked before about food entering the blood stream and making its way to the lungs? These foods are prime example of that.
Remember that while some foods are notorious for causing bad breath, others can cause bad breath in the same way, but are less known to cause bad breath like fish, pizza and other foods with a high oil content.
- Step Two
Stay hydrated! Dehydration can allow bacteria to live longer in your mouth without getting washed away by your saliva. As bacteria builds up it can start to cause bad breath, so getting rid of bacteria as quickly as possible is always advisable.
- Step Three
Be mindful of ketosis. Ketosis is the fat burning state. During ketosis your body releases chemicals in your breath called ketones. These ketones are the reason that your breath gets worse when you are on a low carb diet or if you have missed a meal or two. If you are trying to impress someone, it might be a good idea to account for ketosis by scheduling your carb consumption around a meeting with said person.
- Step Four
Get rid of the bacteria. Good oral hygiene habits can do a lot to keep bad breath at bay. Remember to brush, floss, use an antibacterial mouth wash and see your dental hygienist twice per year for your dental cleanings. If bad breath persists, you can discuss additional options with your dentist and your dental hygienist.
Need Additional Help With Halitosis?
It is nearly impossible to avoid bad breath all together. Understanding bad breath can help you plan so that you have good breath when you really need it. It is always a good idea to carry chewing gum or a pocket size bottle of Listerine around in case of an "emergency".

"Barangsiapa berpuasa kerana iman dan berharap ganjaran pahala maka diampuni dosa-dosanya yang telah lalu" (Mutafaqqun alaih)
This is my second Ramadhan in England. My first was about 9 to 10 years ago.
However, this is my first Ramadhan in Summer.
For your information, England's fajr starts at 2.38AM at the moment, and maghrib (sunset) is at 9.36AM. That is 19 hours of fasting.
I am quite nervous, quite anxious. I tried fasting earlier this year, when the day was a little shorter, I started shaking around Asr time. I really hope I can cope this Ramadhan.
I am looking forward for tarbiyyah from God as this is my:
- first Ramadhan in Summer
- first Ramadhan away from Ibu and Abah
- first Ramadhan that I am married - which means I have to cook for sahur and iftar (yes I used to go down and find food served by Ibu and Abah during Ramadhan, boo me - but since the nights are short, we'll just eat the same food for iftar and sahur. Alhamdulillah for zauji's coolness about eating whatever food available, teehee)
Zauji and I have made our Ramadhan goals, I also will inshaAllah print the checklist of ibadah below. Feel free to do the same.
Welcome Ramadhan!
Ramadhan mubarak to everyone celebrating it.
Ramadhan mubarak to everyone celebrating it.

T-shirts for kids
You might have noticed we've had a bit of a makeover on the blog. We've got a shiny new logo designed by the fantastic Hello Wilson, and have jigged things around a wee bit. We're planning some further changes, and will have some news in the next few days about new designs. Stay tuned!
Yesterday I could smell the smoke and hear the sirens before I learned what was happening: the Glasgow School of Art's Mackintosh Building was on fire.
Last night, the Scottish Fire Service issued a statement saying that the building was largely structurally intact, and that the majority of the content was also saved: a much better outcome than had perhaps been expected. This afternoon, the GSA released a statement by Muriel Gray on the state of the Mackintosh Building updating that information:
Bad news first is that we have lost the iconic and unique Mackintosh library. This is an enormous blow and we are understandably devastated.
But the most amazing, almost miraculous news is that the majority of the building is still intact. Due to one of the most astonishingly intelligent and professional pieces of strategy by the fire services, they succeeded in protecting the vast majority of the building, apparently by forming a human wall of fire-fighters up the west end of the main staircase and containing the fire.Also after ensuring no lives were in peril they displayed an impressive understanding of the precious nature of the building, and due to their careful and meticulous handling of each developing situation the damage is considerably less than we dreaded. We have run out of words with which to thank them, but the school has most certainly gained a new gallery of heroes.
Tragically many students have lost some or all of their work, but many others have had theirs preserved, and curators and academic staff can expect to be allowed to enter the building in the next few days to try and assess what can be salvaged.
The joy that our archives are safe combines with the delight in seeing most of our beloved building bruised and battered but most certainly not destroyed.
As for the library, Mackintosh was not famous for working in precious materials. It was his vision that was precious and we are confident that we can recreate what was lost as faithfully as possible.
Our main concern right now is the welfare of the students and the impending graduation and everyone is working hard together to achieve the best outcome for all.
I don't think I have ever been prouder of being part of the institution over these last two days. I's not just been the amazing team work, professionalism and support that everyone involved with GSA have demonstrated, but the warmth of support and help from the wider public and all our friends across the world has astonished us. We 'd like to thank everyone from the depths of our hearts.
GSA have set up a fund in response to many enquiries about donations. Anyone who wishes to offer practical assistance can find out who to contact on this page.
This is going to be a difficult few days for the GSA students whilst they wait to find out what has happened to their work, and unfortunately, some students will have lost everything. It's not much consolation, but our thoughts are with them. The Mackintosh Building has been damaged, but the creativity, vision and passion of the people of the GSA is still intact, and the school, its students and graduates will continue to flourish.
We've now got a limited quantity of t-shirts online. Visit our online shop.We're adding more t-shirts to the shop, but if you don't see your size or favourite design, please get in touch– we may be able to help.
You might have seen various calls this Christmas urging you to shop local and support local and independent businesses (Shop Local Saturday this year is taking place on December 7th.) If you're around the West End of Glasgow, there are loads of opportunities to do this. The area has just won the Great Neighbourhood award from the Academy of Urbanism, praised in part for its community spirit and the wealth of creativity in the area.
It's no surprise then that independent retailers, bars, restaurants and designer-makers and artists across the West End are banding together to put on Christmas events to give residents the opportunity to shop local, support independent businesses and have a great time! Here's a quick round-up of the events we know about; they're all on different dates so you can go to all of them if you so choose!
First up, quite shamelessly, is an event we're involved with: Yuletide at Cushion & Cake. It takes places on November 28th from 6-9pm and will be in the Cushion & Cake tearoom and across the road at the new Cushion & Cake Too function room (where the C&C Crafternoons are hosted). Sellers who'll be joining us include Glasgow Craft Mafia alumni Pumpkin Sputnik, Ding Dong Designs and Make Stuff With Us, as well as A Canny Squirrel, Jill Kirkham and loads more! Keep an eye on the Cushion & Cake website and Facebook pages for details of more sellers as they are confirmed.
You'll also be able to buy from Cushion & Cake's lovely selection of regular suppliers, including Lovely Pidgeon, Cherith Harrison and Herb Lester. Local traders on Old Dumbarton Road have chipped in to sponsor the event, Duke's Bar are hosting carol singers and serving mulled wine, and the Old Dumbarton Road Cake Club will be selling cakes in aid of Yorkhill Children's Hospital.
A week later, and a bit further down the road Festive Finnieston is happening (5th December). Artists and makers based in the Hidden Lane including Finch & Fouracre, Shona Jewellery and Pink Grapefruit will be taking part in a pop-up shop in the Hidden Lane tearoom, and other laners will be welcoming the public to an open studios event.There'll be lots more happening; follow @festive_finnies on twitter to keep up to date.
The Shop of Interest is also participating in Festive Finnieston- but if you're about this Sunday, 17th November, they're hosting their annual birthday sale.
Up at Queen Margaret Drive, the Queen Margaret Drive Winter Festival will take place on Saturday 30th November and Sunday 1st December between 12 noon and 6pm. Queen Margaret Drive is home to lots of independent businesses, including Ae Fond Kiss, the Black Orchid florists and the North Star Cafe. There'll be a brass band, DJs, stalls, and a whole lot of fun to be had.
Finally, we have to mention ethical fashion retailer Think Boutique and Rapa Nui Gallery, who are once again teaming up to open a festive Pop Up Shop on Byres Road from 21st November to 21st December.
We've only mentioned a few of the businesses involved here; if you're taking part in any of the above events, please leave a link to your business in the comments. Likewise we've listed West End events because that's where we're based. If there are any similar events happening elsewhere (Glasgow or other cities and towns), please stick a link in the comments.
It's a couple of weeks till Halloween. Here are some goodies to get you in the mood…

At the time of writing this, we have around 36 hours to go on our indiegogo campaign. We're nearly at the end! We've been running this campaign since August 31st, which seems like ages ago. You might be wondering what's next on the horizon for Mimi and Will. And, if you don't reserve a t-shirt now, when will your next chance to buy come along?
Well, one of the key reasons for running the pre-order campaign was to help us build inventory in the most popular sizes and designs of our ethically-sourced t-shirts. So for every design we sell now, we've ordered a bunch more in that size and design for our online shop, which is coming very soon to mimiandwill.com
We're also liaising with the designers who have contributed designs for the rest of our first 12-shirt collection, these shirts will go on sale in the New Year – purchasers of our colouring book will get a sneak peek at these designs first!
Talks are also ongoing with a handful of carefully-selected independent boutiques to bring the new collection to a high street near you. But if you can't wait for that to happen, place your pre-order now!
Remember you can buy a colouring book, badge, single (earlybird price) t-shirt, or even a year's worth! If you've already reserved one or more t-shirts, we're in the process of contacting buyers to reserve their preferred shirt size and design. We'll be sharing your 10% store discount with pre-orderers once our online shop is up and running, too.
If you're a designer, maker, writer, shopkeeper, blogger or anything else-er who would like to work with us, please drop us a line using the 'contact us' form, DM us on Twitter or catch up with us on Facebook. We'd love to hear from you!

This summer my kids and I are going to be exploring Susan Wise Bauer's "Story of the World, History for the Classical Child, Volume 3, Early Modern Times".
We have already listened to SOTW III a couple of years ago in the car. This time around, we are listening, reading, and doing some of the projects in the activity guide.
I'll be blogging about our SOTW III adventure, and updating the SOTW Pinterest Board I'm making with The Younger Mrs. Warde from Sceleratus Classical Academy.
Click here to see our SOTW Pinterest Board.
As you can see from our picture, we jumped into SOTW III in the middle, because Catherine the Great is of particular interest to our whole family. But now we are back at the beginning, taking things chapter by chapter.
As always, I'm considerably impressed by what Susan Wise Bauer has accomplished.

Have you been to the airport lately? It seems more and more people are travelling these days. Even as prices for travel are increasing, it doesn't seem to matter as people are packing up and setting off to new sights. Unfortunately your dog usually can't travel those distances with you.
Make Your Dog Boarding Reservations Online
Whether you are traveling for business or vacation, or if you are facing a long hospital stay, it's not always easy to ask friends or family to look after your dog while you are away. Long term boarding for dogs is becoming a popular choice these days. And for good reason, too. Gone are the days of walls of cages and dim fluorescent lighting. Boarding facilities have taken dog boarding to new heights.Today, many dog owners are choosing long term boarding when faced with the challenges associated with extensive travel, hospitalization or even during renovations of their homes. Pet owners know their dogs and they know changing their routines can have adverse effects on their eating habits and even their behavior. Choosing a facility can be challenging because you want the right fit for you and your dog.Some things to look for in a long term boarding facility:
- Cleanliness
- Friendliness and knowledge of the staff
- Do they a sufficient area for play time and exercise (Inside/Outside)
- Does the staff interact with the dogs
- Do they adhere to a healthy feeding schedule
- What forms of communication are available to you while you are away
Most people that have to board their dog long term need to make a reservations in advance of their trip. Having a plan helps you and your dog adjust to the time you will be away from each other. Sometimes the best approach is to make small steps, starting with having the dog stay for a couple of days, then increasing it to a week to see how they do. It's usually easier on the dog to be away from you, than it is you being away from your dog! Bring familiar things from home, like their favorite toy or even an old shirt that has your scent on it so they feel comfortable. The best feeling you will get is when your dog pulls away from you when you arrive at the boarding facility. That is when you know they enjoy being there.
Another thing to consider when choosing a long term boarding facility is how they respond to special requests. A good boarding place should always honor any reasonable request regarding special food or even some extra attention at a certain time that may reflect your own routine at home.
Communication is the best way to make long-term boarding a success. Don't be afraid to talk with the staff at the facility about your pet's needs and what may be required to make your pet's stay as enjoyable as possible. And above all, contact them for updates periodically during your time away. Some even have webcams so you can see what your little friend is up to while you are away! Long term boarding can be a wonderful experience for you and your dog and it will make coming home even sweeter knowing they were well cared for.

Thousands of Army Humvees Lack Armor Upgrade
Monday, February 12, 2007; Page A01
The Army is working to fill a shortfall in Iraq of thousands of advanced Humvee armor kits designed to reduce U.S. troop deaths from roadside bombs -- including a rising threat from particularly lethal weapons linked to Iran and known as "explosively formed penetrators" (EFP) -- that are now inflicting 70 percent of the American casualties in the country, according to U.S. military and civilian officials.
The additional protection is needed for thousands of U.S. reinforcement troops flowing into Baghdad, where these devastating weapons -- used primarily by Shiite fighters -- are particularly prevalent, the officials said.
U.S. Army units in Iraq and Afghanistan lack more than 4,000 of the latest Humvee armor kit, known as FRAG Kit 5, according to U.S. officials. The Army has ramped up production of the armor, giving priority to troops in Baghdad, but the upgrade is not scheduled to be completed until this summer, Army officials said. That is well into the timeline for major operations launched last week to quell violence by Sunni insurgents and Shiite militias, which the U.S. military now views as the top security threat in Iraq.
"Those who need FRAG Kit 5 are receiving FRAG Kit 5 based upon theater requirements and priorities," said Army Brig. Gen. Charles Anderson, director of force development for the Army deputy chief of staff. The Army is supplying the life-saving kits "as quickly as we can," he said in an interview and in written responses. "Kits are being flown to theater."
The Army declined to disclose details on the number of kits installed and where the shortages exist.
The Army began the Iraq war with an estimated $56 billion equipment shortage and has struggled to keep up with demands for new armor to protect against increasingly deadly bombs. In the case of FRAG Kit 5, the Army quickly produced a bolt-on version in limited quantities, while the permanent version has taken longer than expected to develop, test, produce and install. Meanwhile, the unexpected deployment of five additional Army brigades into Baghdad has created an urgent need for 2,000 Humvees with the new armor.
Shiite forces in recent months have stepped up their targeting of U.S. soldiers in Baghdad with sophisticated EFPs, described by one official as like "a spear that rips right through the vehicle."
The penetrator, a heavy, metal projectile, is propelled by an explosive and strikes with enough speed and power to shatter the relatively brittle, "high hard" steel of up-armored Humvees, creating what experts call "behind armor debris (BAD)" -- essentially, turning pieces of the vehicle into shrapnel. The new armor kit is designed with more flexible materials that slow down the projectile and contain the debris, limiting the damage to that caused directly by the EFP.
However, there is no guarantee that even the latest armor -- which reinforces the doors -- can prevent deaths from EFPs, defense officials have emphasized, and U.S. troops in Humvees outfitted with the new kit have been killed by EFPs.
The Pentagon does not release overall data on EFP strikes or their effectiveness, to prevent such information from being exploited by attackers. But reports from the military and family members on specific attacks indicate that since November, at least 11 U.S. soldiers and an interpreter have died in EFP strikes, all but one of them in Baghdad.
"In November, there was all of a sudden a ridiculous surge in EFP activity. People were getting killed left and right," said one military officer who served recently in Iraq. While other roadside bombs often cause no casualties, EFPs "make everyone nervous," he said. "It's a catastrophic weapon."
Senior U.S military officials in Baghdad held a briefing yesterday in which they presented evidence of apparent Iranian involvement in supplying EFP technology and components to fighters in Iraq.

1. The typical water heater holds 40 to 60 gallons of water.
2. The inner steel holding tank normally has a bonded glass liner to prevent rust from entering the water supply.
3. The normal temperature of water sitting in a water heater is suggested to be between 120 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, especially with seniors or children living in the home.
4. Each 10 degree reduction in your water temperature setting can cut the cost of the heater's energy consumption by as much as 3 to 5 percent.
5. A leaking water heater usually means the glass liner is cracked. Replacement is your only option to avoid a complete break and possible flooding.
6. A dripping water heater is the beginning sign of a leak. The only option is for replacement.
7. A water heater uses the "Heat Rises Principle". As cold water enters the water heater, it remains at the bottom of the tank. As it heats, it rises to the top.
8. Most water heaters have a life of 10 to 15 years. Your plumber can tell you how much life it has left if you're approaching the 10 year mark.
9. A hot water recirculation system saves many gallons of water. Plus you get the added bonus of instant hot water.

Ladies, picture the scene and men, do your best:
Pre-vegan, pre-menstrual, pretty hungry and haven't the patience and/or cannot sum up the will to knock up a plate of comforting goodness.
"Where are the crisps?"
"Hello the Fridge!"
I was deliriously happy to find out that I didn't have to say goodbye to all of my fried potato friends – this list from PETA is very handy – because they are a source of instant mouth party when the mind is willing but the body can't be bothered.
Forages in the fridge would often to be based around the quest for cheese and the classic snack of choice, cheese on toast with a splash of Worcestershire sauce, was dooable at a push. Of course, non-dairy cheese is delicious but I like to try and use it a little more sparingly, particularly as some of the ones I love are a bit more expensive than the dairy version used to be. On top of that, I have to drive between 20 minutes (Axminster or Bridport) to an hour (Exeter) to replace it; my favourite of the moment is Vegusto Piquant, oh my word that's damned fine non-cheese…

For years, the white coat has come to symbolize success and exert status.
Recently, however, the white coat has come under scrutiny for potentially spreading germs and infecting patients.
While the jury is still out on whether or not this is actually true, many are rethinking the famous white coat.
How do you weigh in? Should the white coat remain a symbolic piece of a physician's wardrobe, or should we rethink its place in medicine?

Sumbanese river near Indian Ocean.
I was one of the many witnesses of a funeral ceremony in one village in West Sumba. At noon I went to the river looking for a cool breeze. The boys from nearby villages had already bathed in the water.

Business Card for: Industrious Industries
A job for some friends starting a design/marketing/cake-making business (really, they'll do whatever). I was approached with a request for a two-color letterpress job by Alan & Adam of Industrious Industries, who have a strong understanding for the value of local resources. I worked with them to get a clear understanding of the feel & specs of the card they wanted, and set off printing an initial run of 100 cards. We used a 300gsm florescent white Crane Lettra paper (100% linen), to achieve a hearty, quality feel while still receiving a slight debossing from the press plate during printing. The logotype was designed & supplied by Alan, who used Outage from Lost Type Co-Op for an industrious but modern feel. We decided to crop the cards to a slightly smaller and squattier aspect ratio to keep a tighter "snap" feel and for added visual effect.
After several hours on the press, here's the result—a card I'm proud to call a portfolio piece.
I printed the cards myself on an Adana Eight-Five platen letterpress, in the back room of my house in Walla Walla, WA. If anyone else wanted a job done, they could start by viewing my work on the Behance Network and/or at kevincolemandesign.com.
The card stock we chose is a 300gsm fluorescent white Crane Lettra (100% cotton). The ink is standard for letterpress work, and is a rubber-based press ink.
I don't publish my breakdown of material cost vs labor cost, but I can tell you that jobs of this size usually come in around the $175-$250 range, highly dependent on number of colors, availability of inks and availability of paper.

Brilliant, simple words of wisdom. We can all be leaders. It's the small things.

Brilliant, simple words of wisdom. We can all be leaders. It's the small things.
Simon Sinek
After a week of lots of interesting project ideas:
"Great minds discuss ideas, average ones discuss events, and small minds discuss people." – Eleanor Roosevelt.
– What are you reading, Oxana? asked Frank, a consultant on the team.
– "The Project Manager who smiled".
– Did you write the book?
-I wish. It's Bob Taylor's book, i smiled in response.
-See, it could be easily about you.
A smiling project manager is a happy one. What makes a project manager happy? A few things here and there. An approved budget report. A reached milestone. Or just getting to bed early at night. A visit to a spa also counts. Time for some manicure would be nice…
Throughout years i found out that there is an inner thing that makes us glow. The research on Emotional Intelligence – EI- shows that EI is the critical skill that happy people have in common.
Here is my list of what happy project managers have in common:
1. The Remember That They Are In Charge of the Project and Their Own Happiness
They set a reminder on their smartphone in case they forget.
2. They Let Go of Things They Can't Control
They try their best to reach the objective. They spend the budget diligently. They persuade sponsors. They work hard. And they let go if the sponsor's policy changes. They just take a deep breath, swear (sometimes loudly) and …. look for another sponsor. Looking at the pay grade also helps to let go ;).
3. They do not compare themselves to other project managers. They may steal an idea or two – as a form of flattery – but otherwise they stay clean on this record. And they know their self-worth.
4. They celebrate each milestone with the team. They love to be the Project Managers of fun.
5. They choose their shortcuts and battles wisely. They rarely fight. They negotiate a lot.
6. They keep their moral boundaries untouched. They do not compromise on quality. Their integrity is rock solid. This gives the a good night sleep.
7. They keep their desk clean and tidy, files organised and always ready to be put on display. Auditors knocking on the door? No problem. Come on in.
8. They roll their sleeves up and do the work and help others. They notice if an assistant cleaning the meeting room desks of the piles of documents needs a helping hand. Happy project managers are also mindful of generosity burn-out.
9. They smile, tell jokes and do not take themselves too seriously. After all, they know projects come and go. And all we need is fun and love!
Did you recognise yourself in the above? You can also make your own top ten happiness tips with anything that works for you and keep it close, for a moral boost .

It has been written several papers on the use of comics as source material in history teaching. In this study, I focus on a selected title, comic book Kämpa för rättvisa. It claims itself that it can teach "about labor history". In a qualitative analysis, with metods from both narrative and semiotic fields, I analyze the comic books content and form. Based on the requirements of the history curriculum in sweden secondary school, which is materialized in a didactic history theory framework, I study the historical knowledge it conveys, how it looks in comparison with a traditional textbook and discuss the potential use of the selected comic book for history teaching in secondary schools.
In the result of my studies, it appeared that the comic book primarily conveys historical factual knowledge of industrialization and democratization in Sweden in 1900, Swedish labor history and development of the Swedish welfare during the 1900s. I also found signs that the substance abilities in the subject of history, such as the development of students' historical awareness, activation of their historical emapti and the ability to discuss (and see) the use of history can be worked with in teaching based on the comic books content. In comparison to a traditional textbook appeared comic book as more subjective in its communication of historical knowledge.

There is a worrying correlation between football spectatorship and an increase in domestic abuse incidents
12 Julio 2018 14:01
A graphic and shocking poster campaign is shining a spotlight on the issue of increased incidents of domestic violence during the World Cup, and in particular in England.
Studies that show a correlation between violence and football were widely circulated online before the World Cup, with these reports finding that domestic abuse increases when England wins or loses a match.
The most comprehensive of the studies, conducted by Lancaster University in 2013, found that abuse increased by 26 per cent when England played and 38 per cent when they lost.
In a bid to draw awareness to the problem ahead of the semi-final match between England and Croatia - which saw England get knocked out during extra time last night - the National Centre for Domestic Violence released a poster highlighting the worrying link.
The campaign, created alongside communications agency J Walter Thompson London (JWT), shows a woman with blood pouring out of her nose - with the blood forming the St George's flag.
The poster is titled: 'If England gets beaten, so will she.' Jo Wallace, creative director at JWT, said: 'As fans across the world watch each game with trepidation, so too do the partners of some of those fans.
'The lesser-known aspect of football is clearly communicated with this impactful campaign, "The Not-So-Beautiful Game". The team saw these stats and immediately created this excellent work to help reach and support victims of Domestic Violence during the World Cup when they are in particular danger.'
The campaign also re-imagined other countries' flags to raise awareness of domestic violence.
