One accomplishment I admire tremendously (although I have never had the desire to achieve it myself) is the completion of a marathon. The amount of strength and endurance it would take to run and/or walk 26.2 miles in a matter of hours boggles my mind. I have several friends/family members that have completed one (remarkable) and know a select few who have completed more than one (utterly amazing….or they're gluttons for punishment).
I kind of see this cancer journey as my marathon. A stretch of time. Unexpected physical and emotional hills and valleys. My training an accumulation of previous life experiences which have required endurance and strength. This marathon spans testing/diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.
One week post-last-chemo I began the tapering off of my steroids. It is at this point that I hit the wall of my cancer marathon.
With the last of the chemotherapy still pumping through my veins, but without the same effectiveness of my pain medicine, I was physically hurting. Every joint ached with an overall soreness similar to the flu. I had trouble sleeping at night with a wake-up at anywhere between 3AM and 5AM without being able to return to sleep because of the discomfort. Regular hot flashes dripping sweat off my naked head and neck. My neuropathy created a nearly constant numbness in my hands, feet, lower back, butt, tongue and lips. Stairs and even just walking felt unnatural. I was miserable 24/7. Even picking up my kids from school felt like a monumental chore. One which I fortunately received assistance from some very kind friends on more than one occasion.
On a particularly tough day last week, I called my loving and wise friend, Beth (who has run 2 marathons), from the lobby of the hospital before I entered the consultation meeting with my new Radiation Oncologist. I was feeling ready to quit all the 'stupid cancer treatment'. (Funny how I resemble my children when I'm exhausted and feel shitty.) I knew I couldn't stop without the radiation, but yet another stage of treatment, when I was still feeling horrible from the previous stage felt truly overwhelming.
Beth gently reminded me that I was on mile 23 of my marathon. The mile where the desire to stop is overwhelming and an emotional response is inevitable because of the physical demands on my body. I would just have to put one foot in front of the other to keep in motion. Focus on that and I would be at the finish line before I knew it. So I did that. For a whole week….one foot in front of the other. Do what I can, ask for help when I can't, and just keep going. She got me through a whole week with that imagery. Like I said, wise lady.
So now I am two weeks past the last of my chemo. And, I am only now starting to feel some minor relief. I still ache and I'm still constantly fatigued. But, ibuprofen worked for the first time today and I was even able to go for a walk. So, I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. However faint.
I begin my radiation treatments next Tuesday, November 1. I went in for a CT scan and 'mapping' today so they know just where to position the radiation when I come in every morning. I will pop in five days a week for almost 7 weeks, after which I will be at my cancer mile 26.2. And, I will have earned my 'medal' for crossing the cancer treatment finish line by simply putting one foot in front of the other.

9 Things Kids Want in a Babysitter
During the hiring process, both parents and caregivers should think about what's on the children's wish list.
When families are looking for a babysitter, they usually run down a list of criteria. Parents want someone responsible and patient, with knowledge of child care and safety. Sitters interviewing for the job often consider the same things, and make an effort to show the parents that they have the desired qualities.
But, as a parent or a caregiver, have you ever taken a moment to think about what the kids might want in a sitter?
We're not talking about the kid dream of the sitter who just gives them candy all day, of course. Rather, it's important to consider the kids' preferences. After all, the children are the ones who will be spending the most time with the babysitter. If parents ask them about their opinions, it will help kids feel like a part of the process and get them excited about the new caregiver. And when sitters consider the children's desires, as well as the parents', they'll find it easier to create a connection with the kids they care for.
Here are nine things children might want in a sitter.
And parents, once you find someone both you and your kids like, here are 10 Ways to Prepare Kids for a New Sitter.
- Energetic
It's important for children to get along with their sitter. Kathleen Lynch, a lawyer from Cary, North Carolina, has found that her twin boys always got along best with sitters who were also boys and who would play the games they liked to play -- especially hide and seek and pillow fights. Any game that involved a lot of movement was a winner with her kids, so she made sure she found very active and energetic sitters.
- Extroverted
"Kids want their babysitters to be creative and talkative extroverts who will relate to their level of play and do fun activities," says Robert Nickell, aka Daddy Nickell, a father of seven and founder of Daddy & Co. Having a sitter who just sits and texts on her phone should get a quick thumbs down from kids -- and parents.
- Open-Minded
It's no secret that kids love to play. So a sitter who is willing to play how your kids want to play is a must. Kids like people who aren't afraid to be silly. "Without a doubt my son loves it when the babysitter plays with him, is relaxed and willing to do most any task (even goofy ones)," says Kelli Bhattacharjee, a blogger at Freebie Finding Mom.
- Establishes Boundaries
Kids also like routine. Even if they don't realize it, they thrive in a predictable environment. Kids "want a babysitter who isn't afraid to set boundaries and work within the routine already developed within a household," says Nickell.
- Creative
Kids have a lot of energy. To keep them entertained, a babysitter needs to be really creative. "Being able to think of new and innovative ideas is especially imperative for toddlers with short attention spans," says Bhattacharjee. "Keeping them engaged on one task can be nearly impossible at times, so having a sitter that can think on her feet is a must." Children will look forward to seeing someone who always brings new ideas for activities and games.
- Kind
"Of course kids want to feel like the person who is taking care of them actually likes them and is happy to spend the day with them," says Nickell. This one should be a no-brainer because parents obviously want someone who is kind to their kids, too.
- Intelligent
Whether they admit it or not, kids like to be challenged. And they also like to be able to ask an adult a question and actually receive an answer. "Babysitters should be educated and able to keep up with your child's questions and curious nature," says Nickell. It makes for more lively discussions and more engagement for the child.
- Responsible
"All children, regardless of age, want a babysitter who makes them feel safe," says Patricia Keener, MD, founder of Safe Sitter. This is absolutely essential. They need to feel like they can trust the sitter and her judgment. Being a "quick thinker" is an essential quality a babysitter should have, adds Nickell. "Kids want to feel safe, whether at home or at the park, so a babysitter should be confident and focused."
- Fun
Last, but certainly not least, kids want a babysitter who is fun! The best babysitters "have kids smiling ear to ear while they're doing something productive yet fun," says Nickell, "and that's exactly what kids want." And he's quick to add that, "as a parent I want that for my kids, too!"
Surprisingly, there's a lot of overlap in what parents and kids look for in a babysitter. And where there are differences, it's all about finding a happy medium. A good sitter is someone who considers both sides -- who not only meets parents' criteria, but also matches what the kids want in a caregiver.
But what do parents want? Check out these 19 Things to Look for in a Babysitter.

text: I am currently building custom tile packages for each county in Florida which includes aerial imagery, labels which only draw at certain scales, and a vector layer representing range monuments along the coast. The .tpk's are fairly large in size so I compressed and reprojected the aerial imagery in MrSID before adding the labels and range monuments to tile. When I go to Analyze my tile package before Sharing I get and error code 10011 stating "Layer's data source uses wavelet compression". I would like to keep the .sid file if possible for storage reasons. Has anyone tried to tile a .sid file before? If so, could you point me to any documentation I could read up on? Thank you!

An Interview with J.J. "Buddy" Connors III, M.D.
You've been described as one of the pioneers of Neurointerventional Surgery. Describe the process that led you pioneer a new field, and what made you so suited for a career filled with innovations?
I did not set out to do what I do now. Indeed, I didn't even start out in Radiology. But the pseudo "concrete" nature of radiology lent itself to my interest. Then, due to the fact I had some eye-hand coordination (apparently) interventional radiology seemed simple to me. Neurointerventional surgery grew out of Interventional Radiology.
When you say Interventional Radiology, what exactly does that mean?
It's the ultimate minimally invasive surgery. You make a small nick in the skin, pass tools through that, and use a fluoroscope [essentially, an X-ray videocamera] to guide you while you work. This field was founded by radiologists, largely because we were the only ones who could figure out what we were looking at on the screen, but this sort of work is now done by cardiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, and others.
From there, how did you get to working in the blood vessels of the brain?
Due to my proficiency, I kept getting assignments to do more progressive things. The field on catheter work in the brain was new, and we'd started treating aneurysms by filling them in like potholes. We'd block the blood flow to tumors, in hopes of starving them, or at least slowing their growth. If a patient had a vascular malformation that looked to be at risk for bleeding, we'd shut the flow down. The whole field was growing like crazy, but had huge and obvious deficiencies for revascularization of occluded vessels. In the 1980's and early 1990's, this whole concept was new, but revascularization seemed like a no-brainer to me [laughs]. If you don't re-establish the flow of blood to the brain, the chance of halting or reversing the devastation of the brain is exactly zero. You'd be surprised at how may people disputed that. There are still a few, but even the government is starting to recognize the benefit of preventing brain damage in people with big hunks of clot sitting up in their brain.
So, you were in at the ground level?
Pretty much. I wasn't the first, but I was in on the action when things really took off. We were still making our own tools, or bringing in something with some other use and hoping it would work. Most folks today have no idea how much things have changed. That's one of the few advantages to getting old…you have a better perspective on things.
Was there an "a-HA" moment for you?
Not for my career; it was a slow ooze…..into it. There have been numerous "it is obvious this is how this is supposed to work" moments, like "it is easier to zigzag up a steep slope than to walk straight up it". I've smacked myself in the forehead a million times, and those moments still happen. I hope they keep happening, because that's where the learning happens. We'll keep getting better, but we'll never figure everything out. There's always something new to learn.
Do you believe that "going against the grain" is mandatory for innovation?
No…..sometimes the obvious solution works, and sometimes the obvious "dumb idea" turns out to be successful. There are always obstacles in the way of progress, regardless of the undertaking. A lot of rebels only look like rebels at first, because the ignorance that they are fighting is stamped with the seal of majority acceptance. Sometimes, when you're right, the rebel looks like a visionary, and the former status quo looks stupid. Other times…..

Great Interview. I met Buddy at ISC a few years ago. What a fireball he is! He must be mellowing, or you hired a censor.

Academic Institution: Heriot-Watt University
Academic Supervisor: Professor Daniel Esser
Industry Partner: Renishaw PLC
PhD Student: Nathan Legrand Macleod
Start Date: Dec '18
This industrial doctorate research challenge is to develop and exploit digitally-enabled manufacturing methods, including laser-based production of micro-optics, laser-welding of glass to metal, and metal additive manufacturing, to design and demonstrate high-power laser sources optimised specifically for 3D additive manufacturing machines.
The laser source in industrial systems dictate the system design and is usually the highest cost component of the system. Mainstream industrial sources, such as high-power fibre lasers, have a major impact on the systems' cooling requirements, optical designs, architectures, factory floor space and ultimately on production costs.
The UK industry has determined that, in the long term, the cost of industrial laser systems must be reduced by a factor of 5, whilst the efficiency and performance must be increased by a factor of 30, as laid out in the "Laser-based Manufacturing Applications: UK Roadmap-2014." These significant challenges can be addressed by utilising emerging manufacturing methods, as well as adopting a whole-system redesign to fulfil application-specific requirements.
Therefore, the project aim is to design, develop and demonstrate novel laser systems utilising emerging digital manufacturing processes, with the specific goal of embedding the laser source into industrial powder bed additive layer manufacturing machines. This project aligns with the Scottish & UK's manufacturing strategies through development of novel technologies for high-value manufacture, investment in SMART manufacturing with eventual productionisation in Scotland, as well as enhancement of the supply chain of UK companies.
This project will be hosted in the fully developed research labs and facilities of the EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Laser-Based Production Processes (CIM-Laser) at Heriot-Watt University. The last 5 years of significant public and industrial investment in CIM-Laser has resulted in leading expertise and facilities for the laser-based production processes that will be exploited in this project.

PARIS (AP)The 1980 Tour de France champion Joop Zoetemelk was hit by a car while riding his bike on Sunday, and hospitalized with leg and arm fractures, the French press reported.
The accident happened in the Seine-et-Marne region, east of Paris, where the 73-year-old Zoetemelk has lived for decades. It occurred on the final day of this year's Tour, cycling's most prestigious race, which was won by Tadej Pogacar.
The Tour tweeted that Zoetemelk was transported by helicopter to the hospital.
Zoetemelk was the second Dutchman to win the Tour after Jan Janssen in 1968.
Ahead of this year's edition, Zoetemelk told the daily Le Parisien that he continued riding several times a week on 60-kilometer (37-mile) stints.

The DNA results are in, and they prove that Eddie Murphy is the father of "Scary Spice" Melanie Brown's 2-month-old daughter!
Mel received the results Thursday afternoon, almost two weeks after Eddie took a DNA test.
"He's the baby's father, it's official," the source told People. "The baby is undoubtedly, 110 percent his."
Brown's rep confirmed the report today.
The source said of Mel, "There was no doubt in people's minds anyways, least of all hers. It wasn't a surprise to her. She knew all along."
So far, Eddie hasn't responded.
Mel, 32, gave birth to baby Angel Iris Murphy Brown on April 3 and has said Eddie is definitely the father.
They dated last summer, but in December he told a Dutch TV show, "I don't know whose child that is until it comes out and has a blood test."
In May, Mel told "Extra," "The crazy thing is, this baby was planned, and he knows it's his."

The end of the year is closer than you think, and we're already working on improvements to our eLearning catalog for your LMS.
See the latest catalog list HERE!
New Courses
On Jan 1, 2020, we'll be adding over 200 new courses from Skillsoft on topics including Human Resources, Mangement and Leadership, Professional Efficiency, and more. These courses will be available for deployment on Jan 1 for all Level 2 and Level 3 members.
Retiring Flash Based Courses
We've identified almost 200 courses that use flash extensively. Most major browsers, including Chrome, IE and Firefox, are phasing out support for flash. In fact, many of you are already reporting issues with these courses as many IT teams are getting ahead of the browser providers and blocking flash entirely. As of December 31, 2019, we'll be retiring most courses in our catalog that use flash. Most of the courses on the list have topics that are covered in other courses, or in courses coming in January.
Some flash courses are staying...
We've carefully reviewed the catalog and have identified approximately 60 eLearning courses that are flash-based that will be staying beyond Dec 2019. In most cases, these courses are being used extensively by members and we don't yet have a good replacement for the course.
These courses all have been updated with the following note:
"NOTE: This course uses Adobe Flash to deliver content. You will need to re-enable Flash in your internet browser, before launching, to ensure you can access the course. For more information on how to do this go to https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html"

Yes, the title is correct: "86-Yr-Old Lolo's 1st Dentist Visit." Lolo (Grandpa) had a bad toothache the other day. My wife gave her Father (Tatay) a 500 mg Mefenamic acid tablet for the pain.
Tatay's Toothache
Immediately, I knew my father-in-law should be taken to our local dentist in Guimaras. Toothache pain can be excruciating.
On the second day that I was informed of Lolo's toothache pain, my asawa advised me that she wanted to take her Father to the dentist the next day.
First of all, my significant other always tells me news as I'm ready to go to sleep. Frankly, I was not thrilled about having to escort Lolo to the dentist. He had never been to a dentist in his whole life, having pulled his own teeth before.
My father-in-law has been afflicted with Alzheimer's for years. He's unpredictable at times and even violent.
As a result, I had some difficulty in falling asleep, worrying about the upcoming visit. However, I eventually succumbed to the Sandman and got some rest.
86-Yr-Old Lolo's 1st Dentist Visit
We pulled up at the dentist's office the next morning, Saturday. It was 8:00 am. No one was at Dr. Gonzaga's office yet, the best dentist in Guimaras.
While I waited for the dentist's staff to arrive, my asawa had taken her Tatay to a motorcycle sales office next door. The motorcycle outlet was in the shade. A searing hot sun was beating down on me as I waited for the Doc.
Thankfully, a security guard we knew brought out some faded blue turquoise chairs for Lolo to sit on. The friendly guard then took out some chairs for my wife and me.
I politely declined, wanting to be sure my father-in-law would be first in line for treatment. Because Lolo is a senior, he would have been given priority treatment anyway, but I remained at my sentry post nonetheless.
At around 8:30 am, three of the dentist's assistants pulled up in a tricycle. They opened the padlocks to the office. My wife escorted her Father inside to the waiting room as seen in the following photo. A fan was immediately turned on for our comfort.
Dr. Gonzaga arrived around 9:00 am. After briefly explaining Lolo's situation to the Doc, he was taken inside and placed in the dreaded dentist's chair.
My wife initially stayed inside with her Father, the dentist and her assistant. However, when "Doc" starting giving Lolo a shot in the gums to numb the pain, she bowed out.
Enter the Crusty Old Expat
Since my wife cannot stand to see someone injected with a needle, even on television, I had to stay with my father-in-law.
Lolo's tooth was already wiggling (I joked that I could have pulled it out with pliers.) Dr. Gonzaga had the tooth extracted in less than a minute.
Lolo was a trooper. Didn't complain; didn't cause any problems at all. I was relieved as I'm sure my father-in-law was.
Here's a look at Lolo's first tooth that he ever had pulled by a dentist. My wife paid 450 pesos, a little over 8 US dollars for the extraction. The doctor prescribed Mefenamic acid for the pain (which my spouse had already been giving him.)
86-Yr-Old Lolo's 1st Dentist Visit
Lolo's first visit to the dentist had gone off without a hitch. My father-in-law did not exhibit any strange behavior. OK, while in the waiting room he did claim to see his estranged wife floating on the ceiling watching him, but that was about it.
I didn't see her.

White collar crimes are criminal activities committed by an organization or individual to gain money or property through deception. The crimes are non-violent, with the primary intent mainly to enrich its perpetrators. Such crimes include wire fraud, health care fraud, securities fraud, bribery, public corruption and money laundering. Recently, the incidence of white collar crimes has increased thanks to technological advancements and the introduction of modern financial products. The crimes are severe and can attract severe penalties if convicted, which include:
- Imprisonment
- Fines
- Pretrial Detention
- Forfeitures
- Community confinement
- Supervised release
- Restitution
In a case where a victim suffers significant financial harm, the defendant is likely to face longer prison sentences. However, the penalty can be reduced if the defendant assumes full responsibility for the crime and complies with the investigations.
Defending white collar crimes can be more difficult as defending other violent crimes. Typically they involve hundreds or thousands of documents which demonstrate the movement of money and show the actual involvement of the perpetrators. However, it is possible to win the case with a dedicated, experienced lawyer.
One defense to a white collar crime defense is "absence of intent." "Intent" in the context of a criminal offense is loosely translated to mean that the offender had a "guilty mind." "Absence of intent" means that the defendant was not aware that she was committing a crime or breaking the law. For example, the defendant may have been duped into participating in a crime without knowing that they were being used to commit the crime. For example, someone may ask you to allow them to deposit money in your bank account because they don't have one of their own. In exchange they will give you a portion of the money. An unsuspecting person would think nothing of it. However, if the money was the proceeds of a crime, by allowing the deposit to be made to your account you may have unwittingly become an accomplice to the crime of money laundering.
There are two types of intent:
General Intent – this type of intent does not require that the offender have a "guilty mind" so to speak. The intent is not to commit the crime, but rather, to commit an act which (for better or worse) leads to the commission of a crime. A good example would be DUI. The offender's intent was to drink alcohol, not to drive while impaired.
Specific Intent – this type of intent means that the offender specifically intended to commit the crime. For example, if someone decides to burglarize a house and steal property from inside, that is an act that was intended to be committed.
It can be hard to prove what a person was thinking when committing a crime. It is up to the prosecutor to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant willingly and intentionally committed the crime. Usually, the court will look to the totality of the circumstances, that is, all of the known facts surrounding the incident, to determine if the defendant had the intent to commit the crime.
White collar criminal investigations are serious and need to be addressed at the earliest possible stages. If you are the subject of a white collar criminal investigation, Barry M. Wax can defend you against any potential charges. Get in touch today at (305) 373-4400.

This super easy rice and beans is ready in only 20 minutes and can easily be adapted with your favorite toppings!
A healthy and satisfying dinner can be on the table in just 20 minutes! My Mom's recipe for Red Beans and Rice is a childhood favorite that has stood the test of time. Whether you prepare a vegetarian version or whip up the original with beef, it's a simple meal that the whole family will love!
This is one of those recipes that just totally reminds me of my childhood. My mom served Red Beans and Rice on a regular basis, and now I know why.
It's an easy, quick-prep dinner that comes together in less than 30 minutes (and it tastes like it took MUCH longer)!
This Red Beans and Rice can be prepared ahead of time for those crazy days when you don't want to do anything more than reheat a meal. It's freezer-friendly, and I swear that it just gets better as it sits!
When I recently made a batch of Mom's Red Beans and Rice for dinner, I substituted ground turkey for the beef that she calls for in her original recipe.
We had feasted on French Dip sandwiches the night before, and I just figured a day (or 3) off from red meat was probably a good idea! The turkey worked really well, and so would ground chicken if that's your preference.
Cook's Tips – Red Beans and Rice
- Cooking for Two? This recipe can be cut in half to serve two portions. It also freezes well, so if you prepare an entire recipe you can save half in the freezer for a later date!
- Want to Prep Ahead? You can prepare this meal ahead of time and keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 or 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Cook the rice just before serving, and reheat the meat and beans.
Variations – Rice And Beans
- Prefer a vegetarian dish? Mom's Red Beans and Rice can easily be made meat-free — just add an extra can of beans in place of the beef.
- Want a low-carb or healthier version? Try serving the beans over cauliflower rice, brown rice, or quinoa!
- The dinner is so customizable, and the toppings are an added bonus! My boys love to pile their bowls high with a mountain of shredded cheese (of course), while Keith and I love a fresh burst from the green onions and the zip from a dash of hot sauce.
Make the meal your own, and enjoy! It's sure to become a classic in your family as well!

As the school year winds to a close, the summer intern season is getting ready to kick off. Having once been on that side of things as a college student and intern, it's now a great experience to be on the other side of that fence, being a college graduate and helping to bring the future in. I feel very strongly about internships and about what makes a good intern.
I was talking to a student from the Colorado School of Mines the other day. He called me as part of the Digger Dial, which is a fundraising effort put on from Mines students to Mines Alumni. He's a sophomore majoring in Geological Engineering. We got to talking about internships and if I thought there were valuable.
"Absolutely," I told him.
Internships are not only a way to get experience, but to also help set up your career. In 2008, the National Association of Colleges and Employers found that 50 percent of graduating students had held internships, up from 17 percent in 1992.1 With 50% of students holding internships, you really can't afford not to have such valuable experience.
And I think the earlier you can get an internship, the better of you'll be. I started as an intern at Boeing after my sophomore year. I ended up interning for three summers (which is kind of unusual) before eventually being hired. But having that experience that early my college career was immensely helpful. It helped me understand what engineering really was (or wasn't), it helped be understand why I was going to college, and it helped me make better decision while I was in college.
Here are my pointers for being an intern:
Finally, make sure you're getting paid. Yes, some people will take exception to labor laws requiring interns to be paid. But since the law says you get paid, you should get paid. The New York Times recently ran an article in their business section, The Unpaid Intern, Legal or Not, stating that "some experts estimate that one-fourth to one-half are unpaid."2
"If you're a for-profit employer or you want to pursue an internship with a for-profit employer, there aren't going to be many circumstances where you can have an internship and not be paid and still be in compliance with the law," said Nancy J. Leppink, the acting director of the department's wage and hour division.
Ms. Leppink said many employers failed to pay even though their internships did not comply with the six federal legal criteria that must be satisfied for internships to be unpaid. Among those criteria are that the internship should be similar to the training given in a vocational school or academic institution, that the intern does not displace regular paid workers and that the employer "derives no immediate advantage" from the intern's activities – in other words, it's largely a benevolent contribution to the intern.

When shopping for exercise equipment, should it be an elliptical trainer or a treadmill is a common dilemma. Both can give you a good cardiovascular workout and help you burn calories. There are distinct advantages to an elliptical trainer, however, that lead many people to choose an elliptical machine for their home. We've taken the time to compare the features of both to help you determine which is right for you. Click here to choose your ideal Elliptical / Cross Trainer.
Remember that song, "Walking in the Air", from The Snowman, the 1982 animation flick? You will probably want that on your Mobile if you are getting an elliptical Trainer, because that's how it feels working out on these machines – like you are walking on air.
Traditional treadmills are great for full cardio workouts, but the effort they suck out of you makes some balk at the sheer effort. With elliptical trainers, you burn more calories with the same effort, or burn at your current level with less effort. You look forward to your regimen more than ever.
Studies have shown that you can work harder and expend more energy on an elliptical machine (especially those with arm poles) without feeling tired – you actually feel like you are doing less. You burn more calories but you think you have done less work –excellent!
Abs, butt and legs – those are the areas that work for you when you go for cardio on traditional treadmills, right? On elliptical trainers, you would also get your upper body into direct action. This happens through inclusion of movable handlebars that work in tandem with the elliptical motion of your legs.
There's more. Use the "Reverse Motion" feature to work out a completely different area of leg muscles while gliding in reverse – something you'd never try on a treadmill.
The result is a more complete workout. You not only tone your arms and work you shoulder and back muscles, you also increase the cardiovascular workout in a set amount of time.
It helps when you are better matched with your partner, right? What applies in life also works while exercising.
Traditional equipment are all built to great safety and design standards, but they move at their own speed, and you need to adjust when getting on or off if you want to avoid nasty injuries from falls. You need to walk or run at the machine's pace, and your stop depends on the machine.
Elliptical / Cross machines are designed so that they never operate without you actually providing the power – when you stop, the machine stops, so you won't get caught on the foot pedals or stumble at any time. You will also be determining the speed – the elliptical trainer will speed up or slow down to match you.
Then there is elimination of the jarring effect that you normally feel as you put the pressure of twice your body weight on your knees and ankles each time your foot hits the normal treadmill. Your foot never leaves the pedal on an elliptical, so the question of such an impact does not arise. Work out without worrying about pounding and grinding your joints. Click here to choose your ideal Elliptical / Cross Trainer.
Guess what? You need to replace belts on your exercise machine, leading to repair headaches? When belts are part of its in the first place – elliptical / Cross trainers don't need the belts that traditional treadmills do. This spells less maintenance. A smaller footprint helps as well – you can put the elliptical almost anywhere in your home with ease.

Donald J. Krpan, DO, FACOFP, passed away on Jan. 4, 2018. Dr. Krpan, 81, was a treasured member of the osteopathic profession, who served as the 104th president of AOA in 2000-2001.
A practicing family and emergency medicine physician for over 20 years, Dr. Krpan was a 1967 graduate of the University of Health Sciences/College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kansas City, Missouri, and one of the first DOs to receive a California license following the Supreme Court decision reauthorizing osteopathic licensure in the state, according to the Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons of California (OPSC), where he also served as president.
Dr. Krpan served as Dean and Provost of Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific in Pomona, California. He was a member of the board of directors of Mad River Community Hospital in Arcata, California, and a member of the Joint Conference of Arrowhead Regional Medical Centers in San Bernardino, California.
His involvement with the osteopathic profession was wide-ranging. Dr. Krpan was chairman of the ethics committee of the Osteopathic Medical Board of California, a board member of OPSC and the AOA's Board of Trustee's and House of Delegates. He was most recently executive director and consultant to the Osteopathic Medical Board of California.
"Dr. Krpan was generous with his resources and tirelessly volunteered his services," read an OPSC statement. "Dr. Krpan's booming personality and fiery passion for the osteopathic profession will be sorely missed."
A funeral mass will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 12 at Santa Clara de Asis in Yorba Linda, California, immediately followed by a lunch reception at the Yorba Linda Country Club.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the American Osteopathic Foundation, 142 E. Ontario St., Suite 1450, Chicago, IL 60611.

Greenville, SC –
Clemson scored seven runs in the sixth inning and six runs in the seventh inning to pull away for a 22-2 win over LaFleche on Thursday night at Fluor Field. The Dragons, a team from Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, is traveling down the East coast playing nine games during the fall. The Tigers are in the midst of fall practice, which will conclude the weekend of November 1-3 with the Orange & Purple Scrimmages at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.
Starter Daniel Gossett earned the win by pitching 2.0 perfect innings with five strikeouts. Matthew Crownover pitched 2.0 perfect innings with four strikeouts, while Jake Long pitched 2.0 hitless and scoreless innings with three strikeouts.
Clemson took the lead for good with two runs in the second inning on Weston Wilson's line-drive single to left field with two outs to score Jay Baum and Tyler Slaton's double to right field that plated Wilson.
After Clemson scored a run in the third, Jon McGibbon led off the fourth inning with a double to right field and scored on Slaton's ground-rule double down the right-field line. Maleeke Gibson's sacrifice fly scored Wilson and Tyler Krieger's two-out single to left scored Slaton to give Clemson a 6-0 lead.
Shane Kennedy ripped a double down the left-field line in the sixth inning to score Wilson. Later in the frame, Steven Duggar drew a bases-loaded walk, then Chris Okey lined a sacrifice fly to left field to score Kennedy. Steve Wilkerson's two-out double off the wall in right field plated two more runs, then Andrew Cox blasted a run-scoring triple to right-center and scored on a wild pitch to up Clemson's lead to 13-0 with its seven-run inning.
The Dragons dented the scoreboard with two runs in the top of the seventh inning without the benefit of a hit.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, Okey drew a bases-loaded walk, then Wilkerson was hit-by-pitch with the bases loaded. Clemson added four more runs in the frame, highlighted by Mike Dunster's two-run single.
The Tigers plated three runs in the eighth inning, highlighted by Andrew Cox's second triple of the game.
Wilkerson led Clemson's 17-hit attack by going 3-for-3 with two doubles, four RBIs, and three runs. Kennedy, Krieger, Okey, Cox, and Slaton all added two hits apiece.
The Dragons registered their first hit of the game in the ninth inning when Maxime Robillaire singled up the middle.

Recently on a visit home to speak for my high school alumni association, my closest classmate met me for dinner. She spoke about having her seventh grader attending a $25,000 a year school, with the youngest about to start kindergarten, probably going to the same school. She spoke of many of our classmates, public high school graduates, in the Atlanta suburbs doing likewise..

Cock-a-Doodle-DooPosted: January 13, 2014 Filed under: Drivel, Wisdom 13 Comments
the other night i watched an interesting documentary by a comedian who was talking about his having a small psnis. the documentary is called "Unhung Hero" (clever…AMIRITE!!!!, this guys comedy must be a hoot). i found it interesting for i guess what would BE an obvious reason.
i too have a small mule.
no seriously. i've never let loose the Kraken and had a woman respond with a "WOAH!! i'm not sure about this". NEVER. bitches be evil yo. lol. but i sat through this piece of shit "documentary", knowing there are quite a few guys that are actually concerned about this. i walked into this with an open mind. less than a quarter of the way into it, i KNEW his penis size wasn't the problem.
his personality was the problem. here's his claim to fame-
this guy was the biggest douchey beta i'd ever seen. he claimed his small penis was the reason for his relationships failing, and the reason his GF gave for not accepting his proposal. but his self consciousness and his obsession with his hog is what was putting women off. he doesn't realize that a woman put off by the size of his dick isn't going to bang him in the first place. yes, size queens exist, but they're few and far between. but if she let's you put it in on a regular basis, your situation is fine with her.
the first part of the show had him on a regime on male enhancement pills and a pumping his boy at night. MUCH to my surprise, those products did DICK to help him (BAAAAZIIIIING!!!!) get bigger. then he went to as many of his ex's as he could and talk about his size on camera. what a fucking sociopath.
then he goes to a few counties to try what they use to "get big". the ending of the movie has him in a seedy hotel in paupa new guinea with a man about to inject some green fluid into his junk. in what i'm hoping was done for "dramatic" effect, he leaves the room, has his camera guy pay the dude, and walks off.
then he goes to the opposite end of the spectrum and has a chat with a man known for having one of the largest mules in the US (forgot his name) who admits some women just can't handle him. i had a friend, Josh King, who was nick-named King-ding-ling. he couldn't even hide how big that thing was. he's told me more than one story of having to tell a woman he was quite large, and that he was also a "grower". ALL woman know what a "shower" and a "grower" is. lol. he's had women flat-out say he's too big, and he had a girl punch him when he pushed too hard and….well, kinda pushed her cervix in a little. "Dude, it sucks when i can only get the first 4-5 inches in."
in the end of the show, he asks a woman he met while filming on a date where she states, matter of factly, "if this is going to work, it's because of you not your dick."
the moral of the story guys, is if shes already letting you smash her lady biscuit, she's A-OK with what you're packing. so don't sweat it cowboy, i'm perfectly content with my 4 inches of dangling fury.
why are you looking at me like that? what.
and don't forget to enjoy the comedy gold that is my twitter feed. we be having some drunken tweet tom-foolery there.
stay up (wokka wokka).

Daniel-san, you one funny mofo. I'm lucky my coworkers didn't come over to see what the hilarity was about.
Thing's gonna fall off if he keeps messing with it.
Heh. Hit the cervix many times.
I worked out at one point, prior to learning about game, that I could tweak a woman's interest by making fun of how small my dick was. I guessed, correctly, that women in general assume I'm lying about that, and are subsequently intrigued by how big it must really be.
I wish I'd understood game years ago. I love women. I really love, now, that subtle game played back and forth. Heck, as long as I'm already getting some, I might (might) like the game more than the getting some. But only if I'm already getting some.
Pretty brilliant, really. I have several pseudonyms and nicknames, for different areas of life, basically, and at piano bars and other small performance venues I'm "Little John". I'm 6'4″ and on the broad-shouldered side, so those who know anything about Robin Hood get the joke, and others wonder. There are a few ways to play that wondering, but the best responses seem to come from either what Greg does or, for the more subtle types, just a smirk. Rowdier places and people (that'd be most of them) seem to like the straight-up "If it was an iPod, it'd be a Shuffle" version.
Or as the old R&B song goes: "It ain't the meat, it's the motion… it's the movement that gives it the sock."
Poor guy, he never seen it coming, then again, neither did she.
His penis is the scape goat of his personal failings. Sad.
There will always be men with bigger penises, that are taller, more handsome, make more money, have more charisma, get more women etc…
Where do you stand as a man? If you constantly worry about sizing up (heh) to other men you will always be 2nd at best.
Though improvement is fine, fixating on improvement and especially fixating on improving things that can't be changed will make your mind fucked up. You have to figure out what makes you, "you". I have no idea what you are like in real life dannyfrom504 but the fact that you are able to talk about your shortcomings (heh) with no insecurity means you know who you are, and you are fine with who you are. That alone is an important part of getting people drawn to you whether men or women.
I used to be really insecure about this subject.
But your confidence will be remembered foremost : no matter if your equipment is modest, standard, or "uh, I'm willing to try…… but it may not fit – and no way you're sticking that thing in my ass." Don't let this fear impede being awesome you.

MOUNTAINSIDE, NJ - Yes, a helicopter landed next to the municipal building last night, but only as part of a training event, not because of an emergency.
The Northstar helicopter was the final part of the refresher course on what to do when a medical evacuation by air is necessary. There are a lot of rules about dealing with helicopters and Marie O'Donnell, a flight nurse with the medevac service. went over them with Mountainside firefighters and members of the Mountainside Rescue Squad.
The first rule, is if you think a person needs to be in a trauma center, "call us," said O'Donnell. "If you change your mind, you can cancel the call," but since it takes seven minutes for a helicopter to be airborne, and time is of the essence, "if you have to think about it, make that call."
Second, prepare the landing zone (LZ). The ground should be flat, at least 110 by 110 feet, "grass, dirt, sand, concrete ... even corn, that's been done," but it can't be turf, she said. That's because officials get upset when the helicopter tears up the turf and all those little black pellets blow all over the place, she said. And, the ground has to be hard, because if it is soft, after too much rain, for instance, the helicopter can sink into the ground -- it has happened.
No one should stand in the LZ, don't use spotlights to attract attention, never aim them at the helicopter, stay back another 100 feet from the edge of the LZ, and, once the helicopter lands, don't head to the helicopter, the medical crew will come to the patient.
Finally, whatever you do, "don't walk near the tail of the helicopter." Follow the nurse to the helicopter and the "approach will be from the 9 or 3 o'clock position," she said. the patient will be loaded into the helicopter head first and, she told the rescue squad members, "if you have them, use a backboard," it makes the transfer that much easier, she said.
The lessons were given in Mountainside meeting room and everyone listened intently, but it's all words, until you actually experience the landing of a helicopter. That happened after the session. Everyone walked outside to the driveway out to Route 22 and watched as the Northstar helicopter circled the field two times then, on the third pass, hovered above the field adjacent to the building before setting down.
When the helicopter landed, its blades send gusts of wind hundreds of feet beyond the landing zone, almost knocking people off their feet. One of the rescue squad members said once, after loading a patient into the helicopter, the ambulance crew walked up the hill towards the municipal building and were cleaning up the area when the helicopter took off. The force of the wind sent their rig's stretcher across the parking lot before they could stop it.
Everyone walked down the hill after the rotors stopped spinning and had a chance to look inside the helicopter, which was equipped for medevac. They asked questions of the two pilots, Dan Vanco and Ryan Molchan. and O'Donnell, while they checked out the equipment and took lots and lots of pictures. It was the highlight of the evening. Some family members even showed up to check out the helicopter.
Before the helicopter landed, and the firefighters and rescue squad personnel learned the rules on how to deal with helicopters for transporting seriously injured patients to trauma centers, O'Donnell gave the history behind using helicopters for medical evacuations -- it started after World War II. Today, there are 13 private medical evacuation helicopters operating in New Jersey and two state-funded medevac helicopters. These two are funded by the $3 fee attached to every driver's license and car registration in the state. No one is charged for a ride in the Northstar helicopter, O'Donnell said, that is not the case with the other helicopters.
The helicopters are New Jersey State Police helicopters, which are stationed at Somerset Airport in Bedminster. There are five Agusta Westland AW-139 medevac helicopters that are maintained by the New Jersey State Police Aviation Unit. When they go out, they are piloted by two New Jersey State Troopers and each flight has a UH-EMS Flight Paramedic and Flight Nurse who provide advanced life support care while in transit to specialty hospitals. The helicopters take patients to the various Level I and Level II Trauma centers in the state, where there are trauma surgeons on site at all times.
The helicopters are also used to assist Homeland Security, take part in searches for missing persons and fugatives, rescue operations, including hoisting operations, SWAT Team operations and in public services efforts including "Every 15 Minutes," a program that recreates a fatal car accident and its aftermath.

For example, take the universe of actively managed investment-grade bond funds.

This type of research does have shortcomings, however. Broad manager universes make it difficult to compare the performance of managers who have different styles. For example, a universe of large-cap value managers sometimes pits the performance of a dividend growth strategy with a high dividend

The fast risers and free-fallers of this year's NFL Draft are starting to be known, especially at the top of the draft board. But one name has weathered the storm as a sure-fire top-five selection: Von Miller.
"Whatever team drafts me, they're getting a team guy," Miller says. "I'm looking to play whatever position that's going to get me on the field the fastest and contribute to winning."
Miller's consensus ranking is number two, and unlike most of his fellow prospects, he's had that spot on lock throughout most of the draft process. One lucky team will be fortunate to have the premier linebacker fall to them, especially given the premium placed on quarterbacks in this year's draft.
Miller remains unperturbed by all the draft drama: "All the mock drafts, that's for my mom and little brother to look at," he quips.
Step away from the mock drafts and have a look (above) at part two of STACK's Path to the Pros series, featuring Von Miller's NFL Draft preparation.

On Tuesday, WOOD-TV (Grand Rapids) Chief Meteorologist Bill Steffen celebrated 45 years of tracking weather in West Michigan. Steffen came to West Michigan in 1974, joining the staff of WZZM-TV (Grand Rapids). It was during the blizzard of 1978, with every other meteorologist snowed in, he did every weathercast on the station, morning noon and night for 72 hours straight.
Steffen joined WOOD-TV in 2001. In 2008, he succeeded Craig James as chief meteorologist. In February 2013, he was honored with the Silver Circle Award for his years of service.
He says his love of weather was evident by the time he was 8 years old, when he set up a little weather station in his backyard in northern Illinois and would call in snow totals to the local TV station. His first time on air was in April 1967, when he gave a weathercast to test the cable TV in Winnetka, Illinois. He wore his Boy Scout uniform because he didn't have a suit and tie. Steffen earned a degree in meteorology from the University of Wisconsin in 1974.
"Bill spends countless hours studying and analyzing data to put together his forecast. It's his mission to keep viewers in West Michigan fully informed and safe — whether it be on TV or on Bill's Blog at woodtv.com," WOOD TV8 News Director Dan Boers stated. "Congrats Bill on this big accomplishment and for your dedication to all of us who call West Michigan home."

Any machine we use should receive good maintenance services from time to time. This maintenance service is aimed at keeping the machine is good quality for a long period. Therefore, if you want to keep your machine, no matter what it is, in good condition, you have to get the maintenance attention it needs. That is why we look for the right professionals to keep our refrigerator in good condition with the maintenance help they can offer too.
You will often find that the professionals who are capable of offering a service like Electrolux fridge repairs Melbourne are also capable of providing a good maintenance service for those who are looking for one. However, there are times when this maintenance service you get can create problems for you.
Unqualified and Inexperienced People Handling the Matter
Most often, you will face this problem when unqualified and inexperienced people are handling the matter. There are people who offer to take care of your refrigerator even when they do not have a good experience or an understanding of the subject. That is why we are advised to only get the help we need from the best professionals in the field. When we do not check their credentials and experience and hand them over the task they can leave our well working machine in a bad situation.
Not Following the Right Steps after It Is Fixed
Sometimes the help we need is freezer repairs Melbourne. That is because our refrigerator has suffered some kind of damage or there is a problem with its functions. When that happens we want the professionals to come and fix it. Once the professionals fix it, they are going to give us advice about how to use the machine in a better way to avoid any future problems, if the problem occurred due to a bad way of using it. When we do not follow this advice and keep on using the machine in the same careless way, we can get it damaged again.
Fixing One Problem Leading to Another
There are also moments when fixing one problem with a refrigerator leads to another. This can happen due to two reasons. The professional doing the fixing could be someone who is not talented and they could damage something else while fixing the current problem. Also, this kind of a problem can occur when the machine has become too old to use. You can face problems due to refrigerator servicing in these ways. A good professional can always prevent that from happening.

In London, amid stagnating house prices, disagreeable taxes and a haze of political uncertainty, one sector has emerged as a window of opportunity for investors: buy-to-let properties.
A favorable disparity between a depleting rental supply and an upswing in demand combined with stalled purchase prices has resulted in an auspicious moment for both investors looking to enter the sector and those looking to expand their existing portfolios.
More: Whisper Listings are Most Effective When a Home is Truly Unique
"Everything tells you now should be the time to get out," said Dan Parker, lettings director at estate agency Savills. "There are clearly some headwinds, political—both Brexit and potential [government] changes—and obviously the taxation and regulation that's come in and hit some landlords quite badly."
"Stacked up against all that, the more you look at it, the more it seems like now could be the time" to buy, he said.
Inventory on the Decline
Rental inventory has shrunk dramatically in the capital with the number of available rentals down 33% since the start of 2017, according to an April report from the U.K. property portal Rightmove.
Supply has been dwindling as existing landlords started listing their properties for sale in response to the aforementioned taxation and regulations implemented in the lettings sector, primarily a gradually disappearing tax relief.
More: What Europe's Low Interest Rates Mean for Luxury Real Estate
In April 2017, the U.K. began effectively increasing taxes on landlords by phasing out a mortgage interest deduction on buy-to-let properties. The deduction has been lowered by 25% each year since and will be eliminated next year.
It came after a 3% increase to the stamp duty tax for additional and buy-to-let home purchases introduced in 2016.
As of April, the number of buy-to-let mortgages issued in the U.K. was roughly 40% lower than it was before the stamp duty surcharge, according to an April report from Knight Frank.
The kind of landlords exiting the market are largely "small, private investors and accidental landlords," Catherine Westerling, national head of lettings at Hamptons International told Mansion Global.
But those exits are exactly what's helping drive the rising demand—and accompanying increasing rents—and making the market a good prospect for others looking to invest or expand.
More: Strong-Dollar Deals: Places Around the World Where the U.S. Currency Gives You More For Your Money
Plus, she thinks prices have probably softened enough to offset the additional taxes landlords are now faced with.
Why Demand Is Up
Driving the demand is a number of factors, including affordability, according to Ms. Westerling.
"Home ownership is out of reach for a lot of Londoners," she said. "And landlords leaving the market hasn't helped."
Further contributing to heightened demand for rentals is the political uncertainty that's leading some to put off buying.
The number of tenants registering with estate agency haart has jumped up by a "very significant" 34% in the year to March, which is only pushing up rental prices, according to Paul Smith, CEO of the firm.
More: Yes, There is a Right Time to Take on Debt for Your Luxury Home
"The sparse amount of stock available means that there are now 14 aspiring tenants registering for every buy-to-let property listed," Mr. Smith told Mansion Global over email.
That increased demand is being seen "at all price points, for all property sizes, in all areas," Ms. Westerling said. "Anywhere demand is outpacing supply at this level, you're hedging your bets fairly well to buy."
Rental Values Are Up
As the gap between the two metrics has widened, rents in London have reached a record high, according to Rightmove.
The capital saw rents increase 8.2% annually in the first quarter of the year, with the average rental property going for £2,093 (US$2,653) per month, according to Rightmove.
The increase is the highest annual rise logged by the firm since the property portal began tracking the data in 2012, and the gains look set to continue.
From Penta:Bentley Teases the New Continental Flying Spur
Over the next five years, letting values in the city are forecast to grow 11.5%, according to Savills.
Beyond the increase in monthly rental prices, there's value to be found in purchase prices.
In the first three months of the year, property prices were 3.8% lower than the same period of 2018, the fastest pace of decline since 2009 and the seventh consecutive quarter in which prices fell in the capital, according to an April report from U.K. bank and mortgage provider Nationwide.
With London's softening prices—the result of the stamp duty changes plus Brexit providing the proverbial nail in the coffin—"now is a good time to buy," Ms. Westerling said, noting that forecasts suggest property prices will only go up.
"An investor looking for capital gain will do well. London property will typically outperform any asset class over a 10-year period," Ms. Westerling said. "It's a safe proposition if you're taking a medium-to-long look."
Existing landlords along with those eyeing the market should "take some good advice: Buy carefully, and buy in an area where demand is always strong," she advised.
"If I had money to spend now, would I buy in London? Absolutely."
